Hey everyone. I am very interested in rooting, and hopefully flashing once i have done the basic root first. Please can you answer each question I have an Orange branded SGS GT-i9000. Here are the specs:
FW Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9000BVJV3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000BVJVC-CL679241 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
Question 1: do i need to know the whole of the kernel or just part of it?
Question 2: I always see rooting guides saying 'How to root (FW version) JV(something). Where does the JV come from, as i have 2 types of JV, JV3 and JVC. So what does rooting depend on other than firmware version?
Question 3: I have noticed the Orange firmware is a different JV. So how do i know the root will work with my version as the root guides are always on stock roms?
Thanks in advance : )
Hello Tarnwilliamson, I think I am in the same boat as you, I also am on Orange with the same spec phone as you wanting to root. I was just wondering have you found out anything about rooting this phone? I have searched dev and q & a section but there seems to be no posts on this topic. I dont want to start a new thread so I though I would ask you first. Thank u in advance.
hello
You may try with Super one click root or try to flash your rom with odin to STOCK ROM (i have I9000xxjvu for example) and use CFROOT for your rom with PDA in odin. That gives u the root accsess, superuser and busybox ( CFroot IS A KERNEL) it is many subject on XDA.
Hello Marcinrek21, Thank you for your reply. As my Build number ends with jvc isnt there a specific file I need to flash with if using Odin? Or am I mistaken and I can flash with any cf root file as long as it is for a gt19000? As for super one click is that still compatibable with 2.3.5 as I remember reading somewhere the bootloader may be locked with gingerbread? Thank you in advance.

hi everybody. i have a p1000 and i am wondering what is the correct software i need to download in order to go from froy to gingerbread? it says jk5 jj7 kernel 2.6.32.9 and i am from greece . when i do the thing with the IMEI i see it is using COS. thanks for you help as you proably realize i am a complete newbie
Go to the stock JQ1 gingerbread prepared by Chainfire. Use the version with the bootloader. Then flash the Chainfire v3.3 rooted kernel.
From this, you can flash any other rom you like.
i suggest you follow this guide http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64
Hi guys,
So this is my first android phone. I bought it in Shanghai, so it comes with bunch of chinese crapware preinstalled which is really annoying.
After doing some research, it appears that the only way for me to get rid of that is to root the phone (which I've never done before).
I have two goals in mind:
1) being able to delete all the crapware that came preinstalled with the phone
2) being able to install "market enabler" so that I can download "real" apps
I have downloaded Dr. Ketan's guide on how to root the SGN.
My phone's info:
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.ZSLA2
Baseband version: N7000XXLA4
So, from the guide it appears that I dont have a direct rootable ROM, and I need to flash (is that what its called?) it with Odin.
Now, I have downloaded the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" file. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am guessing that this file is the "rooted factory ROM"...
However, later I came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 with bunch of [stock ROMs].
My goal is to have "normal/factory/oem/stock/whatever you call it" ROM, with SuperUser access aka root.
So, the question is - should I stick with the guide and use "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" ROM or should I flash it with one of the ROMs from the [stock roms] thread?
Cheers!

You can do either
KJ1_factoryfs if pre rooted ROM, you won't need to root it after downgrading
While if you downgrade any rootable ROM from stock ROM thread you have mentioned, you have to root it.

BTW,
do I need to install CWM? I am not planning on installing other ROMs or anything like that... just want to wait for the official release of ICS, that's all.
Not compulsory.
You can also purchase mobile odin pro, if you want to update rom to latest version.
Or u can use as it is. But kj1 or any older rom are not tuned as newer one, may experience battery drainage, leg etc, but if u r satisfied, thn you can keep it till ics.

my phone is galaxy s:
firmware version: 2.3.3
baseband version: I9000XXJVQ
kernel version: [email protected] #2
build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVN.
i am in Greece so the version of android is 2.3.3
Can anyone tell me safe steps to root my phone, unroot my phone and if there will be risks and troubles when i ll root my device?
Hi there is no root package available for JVN....you could install a pre rooted stock samsung firmware via Odin...(google or you tube it first then ask questions if unsure) , if you then want to unroot the phone you just install a totally stock samsung firmware.
thanks
ok thank you i ll try it...
Flash cf-root kernel with Odin or search and download "oneclickroot" to your PC and follow instructions.
Search for cf-root

My e-mail is [email protected] so whoever has the same version of my salaxy s and could flash it or root it or know what to do please send me an e-mail to help me to flash or root or install the latest of andoid...thank you very much
1st step: Flash your phone as per the instructions in this link: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/
2nd step: Root your phone as the instruction in this link: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-i9000-rooting-gt-i9000-2-3-3-india-ddjv9.47/
Can anyone help me with some instructions on how to do this?
I have a Galaxy S2 and My Dad has N7000 both on contracts with different suppliers and we want to swap phones.
I've been searching on methods to do so but can't find exactly what I need to do.
I've seen people write it has to be downgraded to 2.3.5 then unlocked.
IS it possible on 2.3.6 or do I need to downgrade? Where do I find the correct version of 2.3.5? (for UK, locked to Orange)
I know I use Odin to do it.
Once I've downgraded what do I do next?
Do I need to download software?
I'm just having trouble piecing it all together and would appreciate any help
Thank you
Check your kernel version. If you have KJ4 then try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oZWxyb3ouZ2FsYXh5c3VubG9jayJd
It's confirmed to unlock Note on KJ4, maybe other kernels too. If your version is not supported - nothing will happen, so just try it. If it won't work on your current firmware, download GB KJ4 rom from dr. Ketan's guide, flash it, root and run this app again - it'll unlock your phone in seconds.
Here's link to the guide i mentioned:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
There is also a tutorial on rooting your phone should you need it.
As far as i know, this app is only compatible with the N7000. Do not use this app with AT&T / 4G model.
Thanks for your response
I don't have the KJ4 I have
PDA: N7000XXLC1
Phone: N7000XXLB2
CSC: N7000ORALA1
On that list from the link you gave me, I dont see a GB KJ4. Do I need an Open Europe Stock ROM of 2.3.5? Then I root, then use helroz's unlock app?
Thanks again
Hi there! I apologise for the question as you probably get this a lot.
I can't find a clear and concise tutorial (that i can understand) on how to root my Galaxy S and its specific version.
Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction?
I am not entirely new to rooting as i've rooted my GS3 fairly easily, this however seems more difficult.
Here are my phones information:
Firmware Version 2.1-update1
Baseband Version I9000XXJM1
Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number ECLAIR.I9000XXJM1
I understand I have to download a kernel of some kind so I can root in within ODIN...however there are so many CF versions I am really stuck
Thankyou in advance and a quick reply would truly be appreciated. Thankyou!
Ok...You are still in froyo so you have to update to gingerbread 2.3.3 then you have to install the "JW4_JW4_JW4" value pack that will update your i9000 to 2.3.6, only now you can flash a rooted kernel..

FYI 2.1 is eclair, not froyo. That's 2.2
Rooting Eclair is easy as hell. Just use the one click root tool.
