[Q] How do i root my i9000 with 2.2.1

Hey everyone, i recently purchased a sgs i9000 and i really want to root it, i have read a lot about rooting (including reading threads on this site) and i am still a bit unsure. Here are some details about my phone:
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000BVJP4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.BVJS4
It is branded to Orange (so it has the Orange bootup as well as the Galaxy bootup)
All i am insterested in is rooting my phone to have superuser access. At the moment i am not bothered about flashing a rom during the root process.
Thanks in advance

If you'll be staying at 2.2.1 you can flash a kernel with odin. For instance, speedmod k13e or sth. else. It will make your phone faster and will add superuser and busybox and it takes less than a minute to do that.

hi
you can root it using different ways
1-try z4root from the market
2-using odin flash any voodoo kernel or speedmod kernel
3-i think also super one click will be usefull
regards

So speedmod k13e works with my build number etc? or does it not matter? Thanks

Yeah, 2.2.1 kernels work on all 2.2.1 ROMs.

I want to get rid of the Android OS battery drain problem

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S GT-I9000
flashed with DarkyROM JVH v10.1 RE
Gingerbread 2.3.3
Baseband I9000XXJVO
And I have the Android OS bug... the battery draining problem...
I have really tried every solution but whenever I say it is finally solved, the bug shows up again a few days later...
So now, I'm looking for any solution to get rid of this annoying bug
I don't care what ROM (stock or custom), kernels etc... I'll have to flash as long as it is Gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
so please give me some solutions
thanks

Buy and install titanium backup (full) and go into backup/freeze and look for Samsung Account, then long press, wipe data, then more, make a backup, then freeze, then look for Software Updater, and do the same bud

First of all: Have you considered updating your Firmware with Samsung Kies or OTA? You are still on Froyo but the latest official Samsung Update for the i9000 is 2.3.x Gingerbread ( you can do it OTA. For this, go in your phone to settings--> about phone--> system updates).
Second: You need root rights to install custom ROMs and some apps like NSTOOLS (for e.g.). Here is a link, which shows you how to root your I9000 running Froyo: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...t-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-with-a-single-click/
Flashing means nothing else then to install a newer version of your operating system.
Third: When you update (flash) your device, the lags should be gone.

Samsung kies cannot view/read my firmware version and i dunno why:/
i really wanna fix this mobile bcoz it's too laggy and keeps freezing.. T_T
how to flash my mobile? what's the difference between flash and upgrade?? and the rooting link that you gave me isn't working anymore.. no more megaupload:/
pls help meeee thans>.<

Have you tried updating over the air (OTA) ?
Maybe you should consider this option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
Try to do it step by step.
P.s.: All your phones data will be lost.
P.p.s: Flash and upgrade is basically the same. But flashing is a common expression, when you do it on your own and not via KIES oder OTA (that´s how I explained the difference for myself ;-) .

that's ics? how bout gingerbread? sorry i'm just a beginner..
how to flash it the easiest way? i mean just to fix lags etc. ~

Try it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14273101&postcount=1
It´s for Gingerbread and you´ll find everything you need in this thread to flash your device. If you have any question, feel free to ask. But I´m sure you can handle it! It´s really easy.
P.s.: The easiest way would be with KIES! But this obviously don´t work for you.

Hi Mimi my recommend for you that's to flash one of the ics rom its really fast .. my galaxy i9000 was like your I flashed the ics (right now I am use dark knight 2.1) and now I am happy from this rom flash it you will happy:
1)first flash a stock rom in Odin (you will found how to do that in the forum)
2) download the zip file for your rom(that you want to flashed(my recommend its onesomic or dark knight2.1)
3) do full wipe
4)recovery mode>install zip from SD card>choosing the zip>yes-install
5)flash a kernel(my recommend last semaphore kernel(right now 0.9.1))
Then injoy with fast galaxy s i9000..
Good luck...!
NOTE:its really easy don't afraid if you had any problem in the flashing rom we here to help you ...
I hope for you good luck !!

[Q] Root galaxy s I9000

Hey
Need to root my galaxy s but dont know how!
I was trying to download superoneclick but everytime i download it the download never finishes or is corrupt
Model Number:GT-I9000
Firmware Version:2.1-update1
Baseband Version:I9000XXJM1
Kernel Version:[email protected] #2
Build Number:ECLAIR.I9000XXJM1
Is there any tutorial out there for rooting the galaxy s?
Cheers

Hey,
Rooting can seem like a hard thing, and don't worry, the first time I had trouble as well :L
Have you tried z4root? Its a neat little apk that supposedly roots any phone on 2.1. Thing is though I don't know whether it works for XXJM1 or not.
Alternatively what you can do is upgrade to Gingerbread and root. And I think that'd be the best thing to do.
1.) Upgrade to XXJW4 (2.3.6) by means of Odin. If you don't know what I mean, feel free to ask.
2.) Search around these forums for a thread about CF-Root. Read Chainfire's instructions carefully and select the right file- if you don't know which one I'll find it for you. The file should have JW4 in it though, so that hopefully is easy enough to find...
3.) Unzip the file. In it you'll find a .tar file. Using Odin again flash this .tar file in. Again, if you need help, feel free to ask
And there you go! Rooted, on 2.3.6.
I'm not quite sure how to root the I9000 on Eclair, so that's the only advice I can give....
Hope I helped though

Hey,
Are you talking about which 4.1+ rom you should use?
Quite obviously there's CM10 and CM10.1. Take your pick of 4.1.2 vs. 4.2.1.
Well many people recommend Slim Bean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780071 because its very small (only 60MB or something like that), very fast and stable.
Apparently Mackay Rom is really good as well.
If you want the feel of Touchwiz and the SIII, C-Rom Bean and C-Rom Bean Mix are available in 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 for each. Again, your pick. A lot of people report this to be very stable as well.
There's tons more roms for the lovely I9000 so you'll have to do some searching around for one that you'll like. But those seem to be the top Jelly Bean roms around...

Ok, many thanx for the info
Going to do the C-RoM Mix 4.2.1 v2.zip 186808KB that came out today
Found the installation guide on androidauthority.com, guess that guide will be here on this forum somewhere but i just googled and came out there

How long does it takes for flashing is ready, used C-RoM Mix 4.2.1 V2, screen is showing for 20 minutes logo "Semaphore" , is that normal ...
edit: my pc reconizes the phone as Android ....
edit 2: did flash c-rom mix again and BINGO, works

got no imei anymore, messed around with different ways to get it back, it's all gone, no back up nothing, just a working phone but cant call
what to do ....

:victory: :laugh: yessss, rooted back to 2.3.6 and its all working again -> thanks for [HowTo] Officiele XWJW5 (2.3.6) via Odin (NL/BE) from GirlKillu from androidworld
now I wil flash it to latest slim bean version, this time I will make it 100% sure to back up efs folder

From 2.3.6 to custom rom

Hey guys!
I need your help in this one i want to run a custom rom on my device

Some how i managed to go back to custom and its running on :
Firmware

AND IT IS ROOTED
so i know i have to upgrade my CWM but this messed up my phone the first try.
So need some advice and direct links to versions i need to download for my type op phone and kernal.
Thank you.

First decide which type of ROM you want to flash. Since there are many custom ROMs supported for your device. So do some searching and decide.
My advice is to stay with a stable ROM with least or no bugs.
After you have done this you can flash the ROM with either odin or directly by applying update from sd card during recovery.

Thank you for your fast respond
And yes i know there are many kinds of custom roms! how ever many roms required CWM 5 or 6
And thats where the problems are starting.
I'm interested in CyanogenMod 10.1 or Slimbean

Follow the steps given in the following link for flashing cyanogen 10.1
A detailed procedure is explained here.

You can use super one click or odin to root and update CWM to higher version.
