[Q] ROOTing GINGERBREAD

Hi. I have original samsung's gingerbread and I don't know how I can root it. I read some topics abut it but I still haven't got a answer. ;( All possible rooting roms are custom, but I want root (what I say before) original Nordic software. Please answer. Thanks.

I dont understand what you wrote here. Anyway chainfire kernel is STOCK. He did some scripting and apps to it but the kernel remains stock. You can tweak stuff later but you dont need to.
Also you could try this http://goo.gl/VS4X4 its for root then you flash your stock kernel back.

Thanks you a lot

ok. I have to made lag fix, and I don't know after I flash that kernel I will can do lag fix. I think if it's stock kernel I can do that but I don't want broke phone

Ok. So now I understood you wanna change your fs to ext4 (known as lagfix in the good old days).
And you have JVB (NEE or XEE) . So just follow the advice of the second poster. And install the CF kernel. Also his ext4 app from that thread. Problem is you might not have enough space on your system partition as you got stock. But there is also HOW TO fix that problem .

Sorry, my english is low So I must ask You another time If I flash CF kernel, I receive fs ext 4 in this operation? or I must after install kernel use lag fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749495)??? Sorry and thanks

So you have OCLF installed now?
Get rid of it.
Install Chainfire's 3.1 kernal, and the ext 4 add-on. Then you will be good to go.

No I haven't got it yet.
This kernel have IN HIMSELF ext4?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
In post #7, download the ext4 addon apk. Put it on your internal sd card. After you have the 3.1 kernal installed, install the ext4 apk. The 3.1 kernal is in post #6 for JVB.
Then from within the ext4 tools app, you can convert to ext4.

OK. Thanks You everybody for answers. I will click "thanks" button of course for all. Last question: Where I can find Odin to download?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PWD334EZ
I can't remember if there's 3 versions of Odin in this zip. If so, use v1.7

Thank You very much. There are only 1.7
EDIT: Udało się!!! (in polish it mean: Done!!!)

You're welcome

I dont want to start up another thread, and since my question is related to this thread, i thought id continue it.
Im also on the official 2.3.3 sammy g'bread.
All i want is to get rooted, so that i can delete some of the "in-the-box-apps" found on the phone from the beginning. Do i root the phone, as if its a 2.2?

How to install a different kernel?

I'm surprised not to see a topic on this in the SGT Bible. I've just flashed Overcome ROM, and I see a lot of recommendations for pairing this with koxudaxi kernel.
What's the procedure for keeping my current system and changing kernels? Do I just drop the koxudaxi kernel zip in my internal SD root and then flash that zip from CWM, or are there any gotchas I need to watch out for?

Easy to flash another kernel and its more easy to brick your tab, you should know what you're flashing and see if it can work with your system or no
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

I agree 100 percent with k0sh on this. Each kernel(or ROM) usually come with an instruction on how to install and also some precautions. These should be followed to the letter.
As for the bible-I also agree that it should be updated.

Yup, so I know what I'm flashing (koxudaxi kernel), and it works with my system (an AT&T GSM tab).

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any instructions in the koxudaxi kernel thread on how to flash it. So what's the safe way to apply something like this?
Edit: Okay, I just went ahead and did it, and for anyone following along, yes, you just choose flash from zip in Clockworkmod.

He gives two formats of the kernal. The .tar file is for heimdal or odin. The .zip is for flashing with CWM.
I have two tabs. T-mobile overcome 2.0 koxu kernal. At&t with stock gb. Chainfire kernal for root and CWM, koxu kernal for tweaks.

[Q] Why no Simple Root for Latest Gingerbread?

I am on the latest gingerbread DXJPE. As most of you know Z4Root and Superoneclickroot and Gingerbreak don't work on this firmware.
We have available CF-root by Chainfire, DiP7 kernel, and Overcome which have root in addition to other features.
Myself and others that don't want OC/UV or CWM or Voodoo but want to use Titanium backup,etc want a simple root application or a patch to our firmware.
I cannot understand why can't a straightforward root cannot be done unless you have CWM or OC/UV....
So I am pleading/begging you expert coders/programmers in XDA-PLEASE PROVIDE A SIMPLE ROOT APP/PATCH FOR THE LATEST GINGERBREAD.
THANKS!

I am rooted on 2.3.4 and I don't have CWM. It's super easy to flash with Odin, no harder or longer than rooting with SuperOneClick would be.

May I ask what you used to root?
Update/edit: You have a sprint tab....
I agree, I have tried CF-root,DiP7 kernel and Overcome Gold. I have also posted my problems re: CWM but there seems to be nobody interested. I even asked Chainfire the author of CF-root for a way to root without the "extras" but he said it is not possible.
Maybe I will just be content on what is available?....

DXJPE. I have already tried rooting successfully- it's just that I wanted to have root with the following:
1. Stock boot animation with sound.
2. use of the default recovery instead of CWM.
3. be able to change CSC with no errors
All of the above can be done when I rooted using Z4root or superoneclick but not CF-root or Dip7 or more so not with overcome.

the stock bootanimations its already in the stock and it will only work in the stok !!!
if you rooted with superoneclick or Z4root how come you get CWM ? it only suppose to flash ROOT (superuser and busy box) thats all
to change the CSC ,tbh , its sucks way to do so , so ignore it and don't worry about it i also wanna try update via kies but never had

I think the person who posted the original question has a GSM tab and the guy who replied has the cdma sprint tab. The flash for cdma/sprint won't work for GSM. I might be wrong but if you try to flash with the wrong thing, there's an excellent chance you're going to bork your GSM tab. Same thing applies with the other android device I'm dealing with, the nexus s 4g. The GSM and cdma for ns4g and ns are different. The software and hardware under the Hood are different. Not drastically different but enough to make it so that development for the two types must be separate and aren't interchangeable.

to root a phone it doesn't matter if its CDMA or GSM , what is matter if you flashed rom is not for your tab ,
root only contains SUPERUSER and BUSYBOX and nothing else , what chainfire posted is a Kernel and not Root , but kernel contain both , CWM and Root access , and the kernels are for specific tabs.
my point is to root , it doesn't matter if you are GSM or CDMA , then how Z4root work or Superoneclick ? they just push the busybox and superuser to the system. so basically Root tools aren't that harm to your phone or tab

Are you sure that by only editing the dat file you will also reset the settings to the CSC that you choose? Example are language,frequency settings,applications for the region,etc?
What I know is that the CSC should match a nv_data.bak file for your particular firmware. If there is no match then it will be pointless to change CSC but just changing to any value.
BTW,hacking the cache file and installing the hacked file via CWM also solves the missing PDA and CSC ....

yeah.... but im assuming that a no-flash method comes with an unroot button..hahahaha

The advantage of android is that non market apps can be installed even without root. IOS in idevices do not allow non appstore apps to be installed unless jailbroken.
Also apps which require root are available for android on the market while you will find similar apps only thru cydia.

Our firmware is DXJPE, w/c is the asian region... I think there is an option for gingerbreak on superoneclick but I personally have not tried it out... Maybe bongski can try it out and see if it works...
@bongski: There is an option on superoneclick for "gingerbreak", just take a look at the available option, it may work for you... I don't have superoneclick on my laptop so I cannot tell you where exactly is that option... Try it out and see if it works...
I don't root my TAB, only on froyo when I want to flash other ROMS, so I can't be of much help here...

Both gingerbreak under superoneclick and the gingerbreak.apk don't work on the JPE firmware. I think the exploit in which gingerbreak is based is already closed by samsung.

the root you are able to achieve is through the rom not the kernel or recovery or any of that. that is not a horrible issue especially since there are only a hand full of roms. what has happened in the epic 4g forum is that some roms rely on kernel root and others rely on rom root, like what we have. rom root is fine for average root users cause you can get into the root directory and install or remove stuff at your whim. the issue will arise when the recovery is in place and roms are being developed. if you have a kernel thats not rooted and you flash a rom that isnt baked with root then you lose root. its kind of a chicken and the egg discussion on the surface. i imagine that kernel and recovery devs can argue the preferred method, but for most end users its moot. from what ive learned devices have a recovery kernel and a "rom" kernel. one gets you up and going and allows recovery to boot and the other will control how the rom runs. people have had some issues when they flash what that think is substantial kernel and use an app like quick boot only to find out they dont have a custom recovery like cwm. however when using 3 finger boot or in our case vol up +power they find the custom recovery. a rooted and properly flagged recovery kernel will boot into the custom recovery from the app or from the hardware induced recovery boot. if you read through oldmacnut's thread he eludes to partial root issues. again when our root comes through an odin of a rom thats got root baked in, you dont get to access all the innards of the device and the possibilities that other devices are seeing.
thats my interpretation of the situation

[Q] Help with Boog's KI1/KI2 Kernel

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.

No, you'll still need to use a computer-based Odin/Heimdall to flash bootloaders.

well i have tried this it's flashing to jf6 using cezar flash like a breeze but problem flashing to jf6 the market cant find the mobile odin. and even you dl it on sd card it wont let you install on jf6 stock so i have tried installing the stock leak of kk4 while i was on a i9000 base rom now if you purchase this on market it allows you to automaticaly download the kernel needed to flash now problem here is if your build prop is not tweak to samsung-sgh-i897 build prop it will download the i9000 base kernel which will mess up your flashing and end up on a bootloop going to stock kk4 so still kinda fresh its a go and miss some times it work sometimes end a bootloop this also it does not flash the bootloader from the stock rom so i suggest before you go to stock gb rom flash a captivate base gb loader but got to admit chainfire is really a beast to make an odin on a phone so purchase the app to support him

GO READ THE FRIGGIN THREAD!

Good work Devs

Do you have a direct link or mirror for v1.20? Tried the version on the market and still getting not compatible.

link in the first post, links to his thread, and it has links to the app. also I think it checks compatibility by reading the build.prop, what's wrong are you running and have you messed with your build.prop

Running MIUI. No, not edited build.prop.

well miui is probably the answer, might want to let the Dev know so he can fix that, if possible.

Ok, will do. Thanks

Not compatible with teamhacksung ICS build 6 either.
