You can install cf -root kernel, look at it in forum development
Sent from Galaxy S ICS
thx.
thx for information bt i forgot to say this,
im new here.
so can u link it or something plz?
i could find so many development menu in this forum so i dont knw where i should search that thing.
download superuser from the market, if you can use it then your phone is rooted
thx mate
i can download and run superuser bt theres nothing in it.
no apps list and no log information appears.
does it mean mines not rooted? or yes?
only apps that requires root is displayed in the apps list and log. yeah your phone is rooted if still in doubt find an app in the market that requires root
gud gud gud
hmmmmmm thx.
bt why my phone is so gay if my phones already rooted?
everyone says phones r getting faster at running apps or else but mines so slow.
anything i hav to do for that?
rooting is the same as having administrator rights on windows pc, it doesnt improve anything but instead gives you rights to modify your system. try RAM Manager Free from the market, it can improve your phone.
you can also download CF-Root-ext4-v1.3-Addon.apk from chainfire's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108&highlight=chainfire
after you download the .apk put it in your phone and install it, open the app and click convert to ext4. this is basically a lagfix.
IF u want ur phone faster and stable and long battery life life try to install custom rom. It depends upon ur test which one u like...i suggest you to install DarkyRom its much stable , faster and better battery life..!
HI!
I'm new to rooting and have about the same specs as the guy below, so i wonder if anyone could direct me to a good rooting and flashing guide? I really wanna have ICS on my phone. Could you also direct me to a stable ICS rom?

Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000XXJVO

Use superoneclick root instead, if there isn't an option for your kernel.

You don't use download mode for that. Just tick on settings - applications -development - usb debugging mode, connect your phone to your pc and press the button. Click.

Hello to all,
can anyone please advise, which file should i install that would suit my firmware best !
Model number:GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3

I really appreciate if anyone could help me.
Thanks to all
Try the CF-Root kernel.
Sent from hell to take your soul
Thank you, Lunchbox for your fast reply !
But there are many CF-Root-Kernels.
Which one is the right ?
Sorry, but I am a newbie in Kernel-choice....
if you cant be bothered flashing kernels etc here is the the superoneclick method...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuaXu8kusvA
just follow that and you will be rooted, then get titanium backup and do a batch backup
Use CF-Root for the JPO firmaware you have. Each kernel has the firmware extension at the end of its file name.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Superoneclick I have testet, but without success .
Does kernel JPO really fit my kernel JV8 ??
Same problem here.
After updating a t-mobile branded I9000 to 2.3.3 via KIES (including wipe) my programs and settings are gone.
All data has been saved in TitanBackup. Unfortunatly TB needs root.
SOC didn't work, now I'm looking for alternatives.
Heard, that cf-root can fix my prob, but still got following questions:
will cf-root work on my branded galaxy?
which cf-root version do I need?
Screeningsleeper
Is there no solution available ?
As far as I know it is possible to root the Galaxy with the FuguRoot.
One thing that is still missing is the correct Odin flashable stock kernel.
Till now there is no kernel for the I9000BOJV8 available at Samfirmware.
I'll keep looking for the kernel.
Hoping to get a quick solution.

Did anyone have new ideas for rooting the T-Mobile Gingerbread?
After long time of searching the web I still found nothing relevant.

Nobody a solution for rooting phone without flashing the ROM for T-Mobile branded PV8 gingerbread?
Same problem here, still waiting .
A week ago I flashed my. T-Mobile with. 2.3
5 JVS and rooted it. Now all is running well.
Yesterday, with the help of this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050, I manage to turn my 6h eating battery brick, into a real rooted phone, thank you guys!

I also upgraded FW from 2.2 to 2.3.3 via kies last week and lost my root - but flashed this to my phone and got root back. link to where to get it:

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.
OK, Problem solved.
Using the Easy rooting toolkit created by DooMLoRD from here.
Works like a charm for my Galaxy I9000 (PDA I9000BOJV8, Phone I9000XXJVO, CSC I9000GDTMJV7) wih german T-Mobile branding.
Rooting took 3 Minutes, no Problems with this.
Need root only for backup
Hello xda-developers.com
I need some help according to this title "Need root only for backup" I hope I am here correctly.
My problem is:
The Phone turns automatically off without doing anything.
I started it but it get's in a loading loop.
I don't want to make a reset until I backup the data from my phone contacts, pictures etc...
I read in an other forum that it is posible to flash only the kernel via ODIN CF-ROOT_....
to activate some mounts & storage - usb in recovery. So the PC can use the phone as USB device to copy all data from the phone to the PC. Is this correct?
If yes i will need the correct CF-ROOT for this version below i tryed to find the CF-ROOT for this version but I did not find it for my version. Can you help me please?
My phone can load the download mode.

I need the data the contacts and the rest of the files because its my business phone and i don't have the acctual backup of the phone
After I've saved my data I will flash the phone to one of the newest versions.
I hope that someone can help me with this problem :S

THANKS A LOT!!
The version *-v1.1* doesn't matter?
what means v1.1, Froyo v1.1?
USB storage in recovery mode not listed
Hello
I flashed the Kernel with CF-Root-JPK-v1.1 but i can not activate the USB storage in recovery mode. It's not listed.
Is this not possible or why is this not listed?
If backup my data in this way is not possible.
How can I backup my data from the Phone when the Phone is in a boot loop? :S

thanks. hmm can you tell me what does custom roms do? what will they affect, i mean what improvements that will my phone have after installing those? well i want to do the one which allows me to do all the things that SGS is capable of. like downloading themes/lockscreen/app etc.. that needs "root/rom or whatever". i saw some thread which contains Gameloft games, but need busybox tho..
well im kinda new to SGS. i currently use Go Launcher EX as for my phone to look good. and install some games/apps.
what i want to know is what is the best root / kernel / rom. and what should be done first? updating my firmware to gingerbread or installing/flashing root/kernel/rom?
my phone is still froyo as well. just like newly bought SGS.

BUMP!! >.<
Look around some custome ROM to flash and lagfix it, after that you have gain root permission and many stuffs u can play around
What's the best way to root stock galaxy s with 2.3.4?
First of all you have to download a 2.3.4-firmware (I'd suggest JVS, it's 2.3.5) and then flash it with Odin (you know how? If no, just let me know and I'll explain it ).
After that just look for a kernel that fits your firmware and also flash it with Odin (PDA-filed) and you're done.

Should be fine with it, can you direct me to the Odin rom in question please? I take it that its pre-rooted with clockwork recovery?
You could post the steps as it's for a friend and I can direct your post to him.
Hey guys I have a related question regarding kernels, posting here to save creating more threads.
I've come from Froyo 2.1.1 with Voodoo Kernel. Only reason I've updated to JVR 2.3.4 is because I've read this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225879 and realised I can have glorious Voodoo sound again on newer firmware.
So I've gone ahead and followed this guide to update firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
However I was unsuccesfuly in installing madrooster's kernel, through Odin I semi bricked and through CWM it gave an error. Perhaps because I am not rooted? However I was successful in installing Dark Core 2.6, I read that this had Voodoo sound but upon installing the Voodoo control plus and running it, no controls were available. It said phone needed to be rooted to load the driver....I'm really lost, I need help
Tried to flash kernel - Think I bricked phone
I tried to flash a dark core kernel using SGS kernel app. Phone rebooted and showed funny colours on the screen with a robotic voice giving commentary every now and again. Now just keeps rebooting and showing random colours on the screen. I have not backed up the phone, but contacts etc are on google. Can anyone help?
Hello all,
first please accept my apology for asking a questions that are probably too easy for most of you but I have spent several hours reading this forum and other sites but still cannot fully understand it, so I would really appreciate if someone could help me.
I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone and would like to use Android 4.2 or higher on it. If I understand well I firstly have to ROOT the device.
First I downloaded the Odin software and then according to all tutorials I should download a CF-Kernel file for my device. And this is where my problems start as I do not know which file should I download or better to say did not find it.
Could you please assist me and help me download the CF Kernel file and guide me through the whole process? Many thanks to anyone who will help me!
My device is:
PDA: I9000XWJW5
PHONE: I9000XDJV1
CSC: I9000XXJVC
Firmware version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: I9000XDJV1

First of all, here is the file: http://download.chainfire.eu/98/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XW_OXX_JV1-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1_NO-CWM.zip
1. You know Odin right? Yeah, so I suggest you use Odin 1.87
2. Download the file in the link.
3. Ensure you have the samsung drivers installed
4. Get your phone into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power)
5. Now open Odin and you will see a Button named PDA. Click on it and browse to the CF file you downloaded.
6. DO NOT check or uncheck the tickboxes towards the left.
7. That's it! Click on start and it'll do the Magical stuff!
NOTE: This Kernel doesn't include CWM. You will have to flash that manually.
