[Q] Official Froyo XXJPO Root

Hi all,
Sorry to ask this but with all the various firmware versions I am confused about which is a good Rooting program for the Official JPO Froyo release. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance

search is your friend.

Actually I have the same question as was confused about which method to use as well. My phone is JPO/JPP/JP3. I have searched but all the root methods I found were for earlier versions of froyo and users reported problems.

Thank you glad to hear I am not alone
andrej.marinic:
Search is what started the confusion its hard to read all the threads to find out the end result.
I would also like to know if there is one that you can apply via the recovery method (like copying update.zip to sdcard) so I do not have to use a program like ODIN.
Thank you again in advance,

I did it using the CF method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
its very easy and pain free

I also saw this but some people have had issues so I am bit reluctant to try it

cf-root works like a charm on JPA. no issues for me.

Cf root but make sure your 3 button download mode works as a failsafe

Just make sure you use CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPO-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.zip

I have the official Germany Froyo. I will wait for the 3 Button fix and OCLF fix for the official Froyo.
I did tested other things and it made my phone slower and quickly out of memory. So I reset ( all data gone - but I did Backup my apps ) everything and it went normal
Just better wait until they find a solution for the official Froyo and not the unofficial Froyo.

I am using CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPO-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.zip flashed via Odin. Took 30 seconds and now I can use stuff like Titanium Backup and other useful apps. All on the official JPO through Kies.

Did you have any issues with 'un-rooting'??
EDITED:
What I am saying here is Kies totally bricked my phone and as such I won't use it again but instead Odin.
You however mention you are still using Kies. Did you have any issues in un-rooting when using Kies for the next flash... or have you not tried this yet?

Erm, not had a reason to un-root yet so haven't tried. But since this is flashed as a Kernel I presume I would have to flash another non-rooted Kernel through Odin in order to un-root. but don't know why I'd want to. If I wanted to upgrade to a newer version of Froyo, the root shouldn't affect it as far as I'm aware, it's only LagFixes really that are required to be disabled.
But to be on the safe side, you could re-flash a stock non-rooted JPO firmware from samfirmware.com through ODIN prior to going ahead with a Kies update, but this will mean you'll lose your data. I always go through this route anyway and then use Titanium backup to restore. (for which you'll require root!)

Really... I could have sworn you have to take off any root prior to the next flash.

Just lag fixes need to be disabled in order to flash via kies, the last couple of flashes i did had root already on, flashed no problem.

This working on AT&T?

I saw someone saying this worked, I thought it was a fluke, amazing! So all the optimization to SD card speed and memory work? Any chance this would also work on stock bell (.37)?
If your version is matching at&t I wonder what's really happening? Could it just be a custom build.prop file?
That's some hybrid of a system you got there Seven

Dont try stock... just flash man, you will probably brick so just go 1.4.2 and thats that... either way its not like it matters because once you flash this you'll overwrite Stock and never get it back...

I definitely would try it, but this phone needs to last at least another year, lol.
Don't really wanna brick it.
EDIT: BTW I'm not stock, I'm on GreyBlur 2.1 as of right now.

this is somewhat unnecessary since ken has started on a telstra sbf optimized version anyways, you might as well wait a few days and get a version that isn't quite as risky to install as this.

If I brick can't I still flash telstra? I'm pretty sure I can though I'll check first, I think someone did just that.
I'm going to sit tight with stock for the moment

No brick, both ROMs work 100% flawlessly and yes I re-flashed in between.

except sbf's still don't work, unless you've gone ahead and flashed a stock AT&T sbf then the fact that this is cross compatible simply means that ken didn't hit any fatal system differences in his pseudo-ROM changes.

yepp and? this means what?
I can now flash any other theme from any other person and have no problem getting it to work on my phone as well as not needing any ports just to have them remake their framework for my phone.
Tested:
Tangerine
HoneyComb
Next in line for test is:
Arc Theme. (LOVE THIS.. can't wait to see how it works out.)
I have only found one bug and this is with swype. This was fixed by restoring old swype back up. This means nothing to me anyways but if a dev wanted to he could make a universal pseudo ROM that would allow people to do their thing instead of flash and find maybe 0 or 1 themes for their crappy framework.
This has the potential to unite a community and not instead keep things seperate and everytime simply get more and more fragmented as we bell users know, we are TINY.. if even numerically tangible on here. So.. give that a thought for a bit.

I'm all for one atrix community, alot of the mods work on both bell and atrix, I think this is great news but would like more clarity on the specific differences between builds. Why does the factory wipe allow it to work?
PS. I was referring to trying it on stock

I'd like a DEV to take a look at these results... because this is really interesting. No SBF needed and my phone behaves like 1.5.7.
I have tested, Webdock, mirroring.. all the functions except for swype (easily fixed).. WORKING.
So this is really interesting considering what we thought and knew could not work.
I would like to know from a DEV is how do I find out what I really have on my phone now..?

so then, how come im not able to install your cwm again from the vivid all in one v2.2
i thought about that too; once ur s off, you pretty much can do anything. but i cant get the cwm back bec im getting some error from ur vivid 2.2. this happened before the whole s off; i cant use the recovery menu from bootloader if its locked, so i knew i had to unlock it to get it worked.

yes i did
well i guess if tell u the whole story, u'll know whats goin on. the reason i had to relock the bootloader was coz i was trying to install an official ics ruu (the at&t us ver) from one of the forums here. i was successful of doin it, except one thing was missing: i couldnt use my data to browse the net. i thought if i had my bootloader again locked, it would work. but still didnt.
i wasnt still able to fix that but its not really my main concern right now.
one thing i noticed tho after i installed the jb hboot after s off was successful - the lock/unlock mssg on top of my bootloader was changed w/ jb name. but after i installed the ics ruu and went to my bootloader, it was backed to unlock/lock msg; it was till s offed tho...
so basically thats the whole jits of it. before this whole mess i was able to do a nandroid backup on my sd card with everything on it, including permroot. since then i've been trying to get it backed unlock to get the cwm back and do a restore...

can I get a link to the video pllz...
Thanks in advance.

A friend wants me to root his phone

So a friend wants me to root his phone for him and put a custom rom on it. Its the galaxy I9000. I assume from reading posts that I use super one click to root, then rom manager to flash I9000 recovery and I will then have root/custom recovery? When I rooted my Infuse there were a lot of extra steps like having a modded recovery file in order to flash in rom manager. Is this phone just must easier or am I off on some steps?

If im not mistaken then Super 1 click only works on Froyo and not with gingerbread but if your friends on froyo then that should work. If you can get into download mode then you could flash an odin stock rom like this one http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/ then root with this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxjvu-firmware/ which adds root and clockworkmod then from there you can flash any rom you want. Or even just flash a CF-root which is compatable with whichever rom the phone is on

A friend of mine wants me to slap you.

It's easy to root the SGS, all you need is a rooted kernel for the version of Android you are using.
That being said, it is also easy to brick the phone if you are not familiar with proper flashing procedures for the Galaxy S.
There are a couple of good threads on how to flash the SGS, I advise you to read them.

So a friend wants me to root his phone for him and put a custom rom on it. Its the galaxy I9000. I assume from reading posts that I use super one click to root, then rom manager to flash I9000 recovery and I will then have root/custom recovery? When I rooted my Infuse there were a lot of extra steps like having a modded recovery file in order to flash in rom manager. Is this phone just must easier or am I off on some steps?

[Q] Bricked my tablet. Could use some help

Followed this tutorial to the letter and bricked it. I should have known that it would happen, the video it self was rather sketchy to begin with http://youtu.be/fXDvq5SaA70
Anyways, i was hoping maybe someone here could help? The errors im getting are as follows"
E:Failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
E:check_selective_file:Cant mount /efs
E: Failed to mount /preload (invalid argument)
E: Install_application_for_customer: Cant mount /preload
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions [my sd card is in the tablet so i dont know why i am getting this error]
E:Failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
E: multi_csc: Can't mount /efs
Multi-csc applied failed
Dealing with phones seems much simpler... never had a problem rooting other devices.
Does it matter that i did it with odin rather then with heimdall? Im use to odin so i just rather not use heimdall

If you can go to download mode, use overcome method like thousands other.
Follow my signature for the link.
I am assuming yours is P1000 since you didn't say.

I have the verizon one, no idea if that means its the p1000 version.
just got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=835192&d=1325238872
Why is rooting this device so difficult? Never had as much problems with other devices. I'll go ahead and try the overcome method but im willing to bet something goes wrong even then.

Nah..if you try the overcome method..and you download all the needed file and the guide..then follow exactly what the guide told you..nothing going to go wrong..it's foolproof..but verizon..isn't p1000..and i don't remember if overcome method suppot verizon or not..
Edit: just check..overcome don't support SCH-I800..
Correct me if I'm wrong..:thumbup::thumbup:

Confirms not supported
And that video you follow too... For P1000 from the title. I didn't watch.
I guess you flashed a P1000 ROM?

Yeah thats what happened then.
It seems like there's almost no information or love for the sch-i800 haha oh well. If you guys find anything on it though let me know! I'll continue looking tomorrow (about to hit the hay!) but right now it seems like there may not be a solution to my problem :crying: Thank you guys for all the help so far!

I mean, i tried to start from there and it seemed bricked haha.
Power was dead -.-
Well im gonna see what i can do then with that. Thank you!
Would it matter if i just installed the correct rom of cyanogenmod instead of stock?

About the power..you shoud try to let it charge for 4 hour..with wall adapter and if that doesn't work try with usb..then try to power it up..
About installing straight with cyanogenmod..that wouldn't work..coz you need custom recovery (eg. clock work mod[cwm]) to install it..and with your device stuck in secondary download mode..which mean you can't even go to stock recovery mode..
cyanogen must be install via custom recovery mode..
With that being said..
It's matters..
(҂`☐´)︻╦̵̵̿╤── .:system:.

Make sense
Alright i will let it charge for a couple of hours it keeps switching back from secondary download mode to not even on!
Also found this, sounds like it will work! http://www.droidforums.net/forum/samsung-galaxy-tab/113084-how-restore-vzw-galaxy-tab-stock-dj11-9.html#post2118311 Thank you Milke!

I hate to double post but it would be nice if someone could help me out a bit here:
So i made some progress, i can get into download mode now and there is a charging screen and a boot noise (no animation). The problem is when i try to go into recovery mode, i get a whole bunch of screen tears and random red and yellow lines appear the screen and then, well i presume it crashes, reboots, and goes back tot he charging screen.
What im thinking is somehow my bootloader got deleted?
Ive been searching nonstop for a boatloader to put into odin or heimdall but to no avail. Do you guys have any ideas?

You are quite right on. The multi coloured bands is usually bad bootloader. Not deleted, but I knew when people patched their GB bootloader ( with patch meant for Froyo), that happens.
You need to find a complete Rom package that is with boot.bin and Sbl.bin
Within its tar file.
I am not knowledgeable in Verizon tab, so can't help much. But there is a thread in dev forum that has stock rooted Verizon or sprint.

Did you try to take stock samsung rom from samfrimware? And then try the rooting proses again?

Okay so i got both of these things, where do i put them in respect to heimdall? I know one has to go in the primary bootloader slot (im assuming its boot.bin that goes there), but where does the other one go? And should i load all the extra files with it or just these two files by themselves?
Also mike i got the stock samsung rom but not from samfrimware, there was a google doc page with a zip file with all the stock samsung stuff for the cdma/sch-i800 which i downloaded and used to get out of my hard brick. So i believe its the right one but now its just a question of fixing the bootloader

The thread just tells me a lot of stuff i already know, it doesn't discuss the primary bootloader much though.
So im thinking this would be a good setup. Pretty much the exact thing ive been running except i put the boot.bin in the primary bootloader slot as well.
Also dont mind the progresso bread crumbs i have in my tabs
