Newbie here
i got a galaxy S GT-19000, and updated it to 2.3.5 via KIES.
now i want to ROOT and install CWrecovery, but i dont seem to find guide on installing CWrecovery.
pls help
Just flash any kernel... Most of them give u root + cwrecovery...
I personally recommend semaphore kernel... U ll gets its thread in the development section...
First of all, wich 2.3.5 firmware is it?
you can check it on settings -> about phone, look at the baseband version.
Check it out and when you find out you can go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
when you get there, hit ctrl+f and type in the three last letters in your baseband version.
and follow the guide on that thread!
Hope this helps!
Edit: or do as sbnaul, would recommend semaphore over plain cf-root.
pls can u tell which version of ODIN flasher to use?
Use Odin 1.82

Hello,
I have rooted my SGN using method 1 in the below thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
I wonder if I can use the Root Kernel for KK1,2,3,4 to have CWM, or there is another root kernel for KK5.
Thanks
Theoritically it shud work as per statment from CF root developer
It was basically made for KK1, and user of KK2-3-4 have tried it and worked successfully.
Now one have to test on KK5, if it won't work, then you can request it to CF to develop it. If it dont works then you can just go back to original kernel. So try it out yourself n report.

The Problem is that I dont know how to go back to original Kernel, how to back up original Kernel, or where to download it. NOOB here.

Easiest way to go back is :
Write down exact firmware you have at present (setting-about phone - baseband version + kernel version)
Now go here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=-1
Type N7000 in search field
It will show all available firmware, find your stock, Download it.
Use this guide to get Odin + Installation guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389693
(above link is for odin + installation guide, you have to use tar file(PDA), which you have downloaded, as earlier i shown you.
. You will get your stock ROM back.
But i dont think you may need this hopefully

Thank You very much, I had the courage to try KK1 root Kernel & it worked, I'm backing up my device with CWM now
Then Yes, KK1 will work also for KK5
is CF Roof via odin is available? or still need samsung kies?
I am very new to this forum. Recentely I have purchased GNote - Indian version. This is my first Android device.
Installed firmware / stocke ROM details as below:
Baseband Version: N7000DDKL1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKL3-CL793489 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXL3
I think above is the latest / updated firmware / stock ROM available for Indian GNote.
I want to update it to the latest / stable firmware / stock ROM version (I don't want rooting). Can someone please guide me by providing step by step details?
Thanks in advance

If you want custom rom then you need root, otherwise you hav to use pc odin, which will raise flash counter n you will lose warranty, n that needs JIG hardware to reset.
You have option to flash any stock ROM, above said link is best choice to download stock ROM. You will find installation guide on same thread, post #2 n 3.
Btw i m in india n using latest German ROM la4 n is much stable.

Hi Dr. Ketan. Thanks for your reply. I don't want to lose warranty and I don't want to rooting the device. I want to install latest stable samsung official stock ROM which may be available in another country. In that scenario what will be the recommended steps?

Install Latest version of Kies.
download the Stock ROM from the above link (i prefer LA4)
extract it and you ll find one .md5 file
download Odin from same link
attach downloaded .md5 file to PDA tab
in Odin make sure Re-Partition is UN-ticked and do not select any pit file. rest of them let it be.
now turn off your device
restart in download mode by pressing Volume down + home + Power after that just press volume up to confirm download mode
connect Device to PC via data cable (now you can see yellow block in Odin)
now press Start and wait for complete boot.
Thats it....
(Flashing this ROM will not erase any DATA)

In that case also, you can have XXLA4 german ROM, which counts as most stable stock ROM.
Ranjan.alva have gave you a link, just above this post, follow it, you can get installation guide, How to flash ROM with odin on same thread post#2
EDIT : Ranjan have already edited his post n made easy for you. just follow it. still you have any doubt, you will get image guide on same thread post # 2
Thanks a lot both of you. Now I have one question if I upgrade to XXLA4 German ROM weather I will get future update (like ICS) via OTA? Or every time I need to install updated firmware via KIES or Odin?
And after upgrading to XXLA4 german ROM if I want to go back to the earlier stock ROM (XXL3) which already installed how can I do that?

M posting new guide in evening about how to update rom, stay tuned to my development section thread ' how to root ....'
If you install LA4, you wont get update over OTA or even with Kies, you have to update it with odin.
The way which you will update la4, same way with odin you can revert back to xxkl3

First of all I apologise for starting a new thread, but the the original thread [02Feb12]How to Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy Note + CWM (simple step at end of post), (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360), this question is related to will not let me post a reply because I donot have more than 10 posts yet.
Dr. Ketan,
I have a GT-N7000, baseband version-N7000UBKK1, KERNAL VERSION-2.6.35.7-N7000UBKK2-CL705203 [email protected] #2, BUILD NUMBER-GINGERBREAD.UBKK2. I have Root+CWM and need to revert back to stockROM/unroot for warranty. On your post mentioned above it says "If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)"
How or where do I find this "original stock kernel (zImage file)"
Thanks.

My version is not available at this website you suggested. Is there a way to get it from my phone itself?
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
Maybe a PM would of been the best way to go
May be it is old ROM, have you try to connect to Kies?
get latest kies, n connect your device to kies, n check any update available for you. If available, note it n search for that ROM.

I m a newbie here...
Recently I got an SGS i9000 from my cousin which runs on FROYO 2.2 . Its very outdated so I thought its time that I give my SGS an update. For this I rooted my phone and installed ROM manager so that I can flash clock work recovery in it. But even after flashing CWM successfully it boots in android recovery. Its only then I got to know that my phone rune '3e' recovery and I need '2e' recovery for this.
Since a few days I was browsing on how to revert 3e recovery of mine back to 2e recovery. I found a handful of information regarding the same. A video in Youtube suggesting that I can use ODIN and flash the kernel to speedmod-k12 or i can even download CF_ root_"Build no".tar from xda and flash my kernel to get 2e recovery. Also to take a nandroid backup i need 2e recovery as 3e doesnt show any option for this. Can you suggest me which is the safest and best possible method to do the recovery reverting.
Details of my phone:
Model No : SGS GT-i9000
Firmware : 2.2
Baseband version : I9000JXJPE
Kernel version : 2.6.32.9 [email protected] # 91
Build no : FROYO.JPJPG
Also suggest me, if I am going to flash using CF_ root method , I cant find the kernel related to my build number JPG. Can I use JPE instead of that.
Thank you in advance
i think you wanna flash some gingerbread or maybe ice cream sandwich or jelly bean rom!
but for a person how hanv´t flashed anithing bevor i would suggest you only to flash gingerbread. becouse this ist the last android version suportet by samsung und till now the only one which has a stable releas for custom roms like minu or cyanogenmod (http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-s).
the first thing you have to know is i think, that there ar different bootloaders for gingerbread.
so you have to flash them first like discribed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011701
if you have done this you are free to flash any gingerbread (or above) firmeware you want to.
here is a list of some stock firmewares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790&highlight=all+gingerbread+bootloaders
these are not the fastest rom´s but they are stable, becouse they are made by samsung and there is only root integratet.
about the efs folder discribed in this thread. the efs folder is the lokation of your IMEI. in some crazy situations, most times only in not heavy testet alpha releases of for exemple cyenogenmod, ur IMEI get erased and with the safed es folder you can backup it the easy way.
for me personaly the best rom´s ever made are based on cyanogenmod. so if you wanne test it here is an update guid how to get cyanogenmod 7 (based on gingerbread): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
i hope i may helped you a litle
Hey
For flashing ics or jb u need 2.3.6..so if kies still recognises ur phone..i say update it from there...
If it doesnt goto sammobile.com and signup and download the firmware u need and also the flashprograms,flashguides...
Its simply...

Thanks for your guidance.....
Sorry 4 being a noob...But let me ask u something...Isnt it betr 2 take a nandroid backup before i proceed with the installation of gingerbread..Incase if it gets bricked i can restore it back ....
Since my recovery is 3e there is no option of backup and recovery...I used a rom manager and flashed CWM ...but read somewhere that CWM works only wid 2e recovery ... So I just wanted to revert back my phone recovery to 2e...I saw in youtube a video showing that if i flash my kernel with speedmod-K12-500hz using odin, I get a speedmod kernel and CWM recovery....
I was not sure whether doing this would cause any probs to the device or is it ok to flash speedmod kernel..???
Thanx in advance

Thanx 4 ur reply....
My internet connection is not tat gud ..so i wudnt prefer updating via kies.....
I downloaded XXJVU 2.3.6 from androidsoul.com... I m just a bit worried that I cant get a nandroid backup cos my recovery being 3e ....I have already flashed to CWM using Rom manager..but it wud work only on 2e recovery...
So wat i wanted 2 ask is can i flash my kernel to speedmod-K12 for CWM recovery.....or is there a betr suggestion frm ur side...??
speedmod kernal is a good choice! i did it that way i flashed the first time.
i don´t know the number of speedmod for froyo but i think you have posted the corect number of the kernel.
if you want to be 100% sure that you won´t lose your contakts you can use myphonexplorer to backup them to your computer bevor you flash spedmod

Thnx in advance...
Dial in your phone: *#1234#
Look at CSC, it should be like CSC: I9000123456, the last 6 digits/letters are the CSC string, the first 3 letters of are your CSC code (Example: XEU, ITV, XSA...etc.).
Go to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and download the firmware for your region and extract by using 7zip.
Enter Download Mode on your device and flash the firmware using Odin.
Find a Kernel with a build in CWM, almost all developers Kernels has that, flash as PDA.
Now you are ready to flash any ROM you like using CWM.
Take your time and read to know what you need to do and how.
Best of luck
OK some of you might know that I recently got a i9000 and managed to hard brick it after 72 hours, well I managed to get a cheat mobo of ebay and im back in business, someone mind giving me step by step instructions from getting from 2.1 stock to 4.x slim bean rooted?
Basically I'm guessing I have to do is upgrade to gingerbread JW4, install CF-Root, then slim bean from CWM?
But I dontknow where to download the firmware/correct version of odin to use and I dont want to brick it again

I seem to have a weird problem now, if i have my phone in kies mode and connect it to my computer with kies open it gets recognised fine (I have even upgraded to JW4 via kies) however any other time I connect the usb it is just listed as unknown device
edit, seems kies only works sometimes, others it just fails
find some driver in dev section.and enable debugging mode.
