So I am on baseband N7000XXKK5 and kernel version 2.6.35-7-N7000XXKK9-CL725676 not rooted. I got the device only yesterday and was reading Chainfire's CF-kernels and got to wondering.
Will the zergeRush exploit work for me?
Chainfire said:
1.2. If you are not rooted yet: Using the zergRush exploit
(while it still works on our firmwares, this exploit will probably be fixed soon! Known to work on KJ1 and KJ4 firmwares)
- Download the attached "InitialRootFlasher.zip" and extract it somewhere
- Download one of the CF-Root kernels, and extract it (repeat) until you end up with a zImage file
- Place the zImage file from the CF-Root kernel in the zImage folder from InitialRootFlasher
- Start "not-rooted-yet.bat" and follow the instructions

Does it mean that the zergRush exploit might not work for later versions?
I am a little concerned about this "flash counter", as I came over from the nexus s and I could flash till my heart's content.
Thanks

Hey Guys.. I'm looking for a "how to Root " on Bell's Stock UGKG3.
It seems in order to get root you must use CWM 2.5 and higher but KG3 overwrites with 3e Recovery. If I flash CF-roomt 1.3 through 4.1 I get looping boot screens.
Many searches later.. I'm here.
Can anyone help me out?
I9000M with UGKG3 flashed via ODin (I9000UGKG3-homebinary.tar) with stock 3e recovery BMC CSC.
Yes use the tornado kernel

Rooted KG3 kernel: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=410SOQHD or http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8DH9UR4L (first one comes up unavailable sometimes?)
Odin 1.82: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1IKLKDPB
Just open Odin, put the tar file as PDA, put the phone in download mode, plug it in, wait for the box under ID:COM to go yellow and the 'added!' message and hit start. It will be done in a few seconds. Install superuser and busybox from the market to see if it works.
Like I said earlier it didn't work right away for me, superuser just FC'd on the first boot. Not sure if it was reflashing or rebooting that fixed it. Just a warning that some tinkering might be required.

It would be great if you could provide a link to this kernel, as it is not on XDA.

Sorry to bump an older thread, but I just have something else to add that might help someone else out.
I re-flashed stock UGKG3 to an i9000M, then grabbed the rooted kernel you linked to root. However, I had to manually download superuser and busybox installer from the Android Market - something I thought would happen automatically.
Hope this helps someone else!
hi brahmy
were you able to root your i9000 on this firmware?
managed to grab the file. thanks.
just wonder if you were successful after flashing this kernel
just lookin for some reassurances
Yes you do need to superuser and busybox from the market.
I'm seeing over 900 downloads of that kernel from megaupload, I didn't make it but I'm glad my instructions and download link helped so many.

thanks for the link.. going to try rooting now.
Am not getting root ... UPDATE: have root, but not busybox
So I re-installed the stock Bell UGKG3 kernel which worked great.
Then I installed this rooted one, more than once between reboots. I also got Busybox and TiShell from Market but I have no root
What might be going wrong?
Before I put the stock kernel back on, I was playing around with various kernels and with one of these kernels, I also updated the CSC and MODEM. Will this cause issues with this rooted KG3? I seem to not have problems with the stock KG3 that I re-installed using Kies.
Please help! No idea why everybody seems to be getting root with this kernel except me.
EDIT:
Ooooops looks like I may have had an out-of-date/dysfunctional Superuser app that was there from an old kernel update. I deleted it, re-installed from Market, and now I have root!!!
Now I have another problem: Looks like my busybox is also out-of-date. D/l'd busybox installer, it asked me if I wanted to install the latest, I said yes, but then it said I still have a version hanging around and I couldn't install.
So I opened my terminal and found one in /system/xbin. Did:
su
rm busybox
... but says the it's a read-only filesystem
How can I remove my old one that apparently exists somewhere and won't let the newly-downloaded busybox installer install a new one??
Stock ugkg3
I had the same problems with rooting my ugkg3, I used Darkyrom 10.2 Re. It rooted, put voodoo lagfix in, busybox, superuser. I didn't have to add any of those apps. I used odin to put it in. The only thing you have to do is reconfig your apn settings. Here is the link for darkyrom http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/, here is the link for the original stock firmware http://www.samfirmware.com/, and here is the link for the apn settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799559, enjoy.

How do I know if Boog's KI1/KI2 Kernel 2 was flashed?
Kernel version says: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKI1-CL607313
init.d folder contains only: S99complete
I have CWM so I'm assuming that Kernel 1 flashed properly through Odin3
I came from S7
flashed AT&T bootloaders and stock KI2
then flashed emunee's rooted/deodexed/zipaligned KI2
then flashed Boog's kernel 1 .tar with odin
now I'm trying to flash Boog's kernel 2 using CWM....
What am I doing wrong? any help would be appreciated
The name of the kernel will not change because no source released yet. Since u have CWM ur doing good. The kernels are flashing for u. No worries.
Sent from i897ucki2
Thanks for all the help, I have 2.3.5 w CWM and i know boog has an updated kernel w root. Should I put that in my sdcard directory and restart in recovery and install package? Would that root me? Thanks, Im pretty new to this and just flashed for the first time and am very happy but wanna get rid of all the ATT crap
Thank you for the prompt attention, what about the init.d folder shouldn't the scripts show up after flashing kernel 2?
Would it be advisable to simply flash U.A.S.?

I think people have been having issues with boog's root kernel actually taking root from them rather then giving them root. I would advise the kernel swap method over flashing boog's rooted kernel for now.

If done correctly in the proper order (kinda difficult not to) only one script should appear in the init.d folder. As for the USAS I recommend reading the link in my sig about Android Optimizations first.

Thank you guys for the help and information!
Hello.
I know this post is a little long. But I'd rather do only one good post with all my inquires after having done enough reading than post many insufficient questions/posts without knowing what I'm asking about.
I've been spending at least 2 hours a day the last few weeks reading threads and I've been changing my mind every night before going to sleep. It is hard to learn so much information and so many options and opinions, it is confusing, even more when English is not my first language, I have to deal with so many new acronysms and worst of all I am on a dial-up connection.
I followed this tips from "Read before flashing" : - My phone goes into recovery and into download with the key combos. No 3 button fix needed - have adb up and running - installed CWM, made a nandroid backup, kept the CWM update.zip in my sdcard - built my USB jig - have a good quality (bold) Nokia USB cable - read about USB virtual port on my PC not being higher than 6 etc etc etc...
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
I decided to update to "leaked" STOCK I897UCKI2 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. Root it and try it before any other ROM.
I think this is what I must do.
1 - OdinOneClick I897UCKI2 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread With Bootloaders [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]. It should be the one and only dangerous flash since I need to flash GB bootloaders only once.
2 - Flash Fugu's root kernel (zImage-root.tar) It produces a bootloop. A sort of soft bricking which is part of the process.
3 - Flash "CWM Injected Kernel from Boog" again.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Q: Is all this OK? Am I missing something?
Q: With this setup I should be able to install other roms via CWM since it is in boog's kernel. Right? Because I want to try Cognition 5v2 and a few others later.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
LINKS???
The only link to fugu's root kernel (zImage-root.tar) I've found is at CB650Wolf's thread [ROM]I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Optional Fugu Root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ight=I897UCKF1+Odin-1-Click+Gingerbread+2.3.3 Is it OK to use this for 2.3.5? If not, could somebody please post a proper link?
I can't find a link to "KI2 CWM Injected Kernel by Boog" to reflash after rooting, and I guess I cannot extract it from the OdinOneClick please post a link.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, that's the purpose of this thread.
Thank you.
You are good to go with what you have outlined in your post. And yes, the fugu root kernel in that thread is the one to use.
And I have attached the kernels you needed, here... View attachment boog_KI1_kernel1.tar -- It is the .tar ki1 kernel that you must flash 1st through the regular Odin. Then you can flash the ki2 cwm .zip kernel here... View attachment Boog_KI1_KI2_kernel2.zip through the Recovery.
Regular Odin here... View attachment 757397
Thank you.
So i got my hands on an old Samsung Galaxy Tab Tmobile SGH-T849 and I am having issues finding out how to flash CWM onto it and the one reference to do this on xda has broken links so is there anywhere else that has what I need the Android OS is Froyo.
You can use the Overcome method. The link is in my signature.
Basically:
- because you are on Froyo, you need to check if you have a locked bootloader (GB has no such issue).
- you need to first root your tab, (I used z4root), then install the bootloader checker to check if you are affected.
If you do have locked bootloader, then patch it.
(All of these are also in the Overcome PDF guide)
- Once you know you do not have a locked bootloader, download GB-stock-safe-v5, and Overcome Kernel v4 tar file.
The GB-stock-safe-v5 have Odin and windows driver and everything you need.
Use it according to the guide, to flash a baseline GB stock rom.
The continue with the guide to flash overcome kernel 4.0
At that point, you have CWM as it is part of the overcome kernel. (You don't have to continue with the guide on flashing overcome ROM. It is not needed at all).
So go ahead. Don't rush. Root and check bootloader, then read the guide many times.

Thank you very much I will look into it.
i tried to root the phone with following specification:
Galaxy S GT-I9000
Model No: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband verion: I9000JXJV6
Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9000JPJV6-CL233266 [email protected] #4
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.JPJV6
i used framaroot 1.9.3. result was unsuccessful. it will tell that root was successful but using root checker it says not. then i tried framaroot 1.5.3. i used supersu instead of superuser. this time root checker gives the answer that its successful. but no supersu app installed. i dont know whether this version install supersu app or not. but when i tried to unroot it with 1.5.3 is said success done. but root checker still shows that phone is rooted.
in this case how can i unroot it for safe side.
Then how can i root it using odin.
These are the thing my understanding:
use odin3 v.1.83 Better to install odin3 on windows XP sp2 for samsung galaxy s I9000.
csc firmware: i downloaded GT_I9000_JPJV6_JXJV6_OJPJV6_Sbl.7z
use kernal : Kernel_JPJV6.7z
but which CF-root i have to use for rooting using odin? no idea about this. nobody mentions it.
first i want to know how to unroot which i rooted using framaroot 1.5.3
then i want to know how to root using odin using CF-root?
As far as I remember Framaroot doesn't install SuperSu or any busybox app by defaut - it only provides root access. Usually you have to install a superuser app afterwards. If the root checker app says you're rooted, it's probably right.
Unrooting can be done by flashing any stock rom using Odin over the top. You won't lose your data.
CF-Root kernels are specifically built for different firmwares - therefore if you can't find one specifically for JPJV6 there isn't one. The best thing to do if you do want to root via Odin is to flash a custom kernel or flash a CF-Root supported firmware, such as XXJW4 of XXJVU before flashing CF-Root for whatever build.
Personally I'd go with the latter just to be safe - XXJW4 is a rock-solid firmware anyway.
Im facing another problm now. I tried to unroot using kinga root. After unrooting then i tried to root with kingaroot. It said successful but on reboot it says it says didnt root. Then i tried to root vth framaroot 1.5.3. this time its failed. I cannot root any more.

So which file i have to use for flashing. stock kernal or 152MB file
Are the above two files official firmware from samsung?
Please help me.
My ultimate aim is to install cyanogenmod or mackay ROM.
I understood that we should not flash latest CM from 2.3.3 to 4.4.4 because it will remove IMEI
The 152MB file is the actual rom, so you'll want to be flashing that through Odin. The stock kernel is something else (and comes with the rom so you don't really need to worry about that). Both files are official firmwares as well.

If you can't find one for your specific firmware then you may need to flash a supported firmware.

At last i did it.
let me explain what all I did.
As i told you i installed CWM 2.5.1.2 using rom manager. but it never worked.
so i downloaded CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip.
I used odin 1.83 to flash. i also downloaded the clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 officially. they recommend this. but i need to root it so i used CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip.
it rooted properly and CWM 3.0.5 was installed.
I did CWM recovery and all wipeout mentioned. then i flashed the CM10.2. damn. this time it failed again i mentioned. it then restarted automatically and restated to CMW 6 version. then it started again the loop. but here what i did was. I started pressing VOL UP + Home + POWER button. this time i got into CWM 6.. Then again I wiped. This time i flashed CM 11 latest without any issue.
So Its possible to flash from gingerbread 2.3.3 to CM 11.
@jaheshkhan Cyanogenmod normally won't erase your IMEI but Slim ROMs would.
Rom Manager app is useless for the i9000 as the recovery on this device can not be flashed separately, it is part of the kernel image
