[Q] [Help] Problems with rooting my sgs i9000

hello,
well, i never rooted a phone before and already did some research,
already tried to root with the superoneclick root program, stucked at step #7 waiting for device.
got odin3 installed but dont got files and no idea where to get from and no idea what order to do the stuff, my firmware and stuff is completely standard from the factory settings.
any help perhaps? :$

Find a root package for your phone and flash it with stock Android recovery. The best way.

thnx

And get a kernel with integrated cwm recovery such as CF-Root

Just remember that SuperOneClick was meant for Froyo and not Gingerbread...

I had the same problem (using Windows XP).
Once I removed Microsoft .net Framework 4.0 and installed 2.0 instead, Superoneclick worked perfectly for me.

Here this is a very simple guide with everything you meed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108

Okay, then as i already said.
Get cf-root kernel, flash it via odin and baaam. There you got your root xP

but i dont know how to root it ive tried to search at google for a way to root BUJVI but i found nothing

Okay. Look for the cf-root kernel thread. Chainfire prepared a pre-rooted kernel for (almost? ) every firmware.
Look for the right one.
You know how to flash a kernel with odin?

i dont know the way plz tell me

plz tell me all the steps cause im new at android

Download Odin. You should find it somewhere here on xda or google.
Download the cf-root kernel.
I think its a ".tar"-file.
Open odin.
If you have installed KIES, close both KIES-processes in the taskmanager.
Reboot phone into downloadmode. (Vol down + home + power)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc. A little box in odin should appear now and should say something like "Added".
Now press on the "pda"-button and browse to the cf-root kernel. Click start and if everything is done correctly, xour phone should reboot automatically. Now you should see the app "Superuser".
Hope this helps.
Anyway, im not responsible for any errors or damages to your phone

plz give me a link to download the compatible version for my galaxy s thank you very much i know that i bothered you

Okay.
Firt of all, here is the direct link to the CF-Root-Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Theres a step-by-step guide by chainfire too.
Download this kernel from his site:
http://download.chainfire.eu/123/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XW_DBT_JVI-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip
And flash it as mentioned in his thread with odin
Hope this will help you out

im i obliged to use that chanefire ??

No. You could use any other kernel from chainfire. Or you can use Semaphore, Galaxian, Talon, Speedmod or any other Gingerbread-Kernel.
You can either try the 1-Click-Rooting Tool. You should find it on google and somewhere here on xda.

i cant find in one click root my device :crying: or i didnt dee it can you plz go and search for me thank you very much

One more question.
Do you want to root, to do a backup of your apps?
Or do you want to get a Nandroid-backup?
Nandroid-Backup is something like an image of your pc.
EDIT:
Anyway.
The easiest and safest way is to flash the cf-root kernel with Odin.
Follow the instructions in the cf-root kernel and you should be good to go.
Its pretty easy.

root problem

im trying to install ics on my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613842, i follow all the step given but when trying to install it says "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" please help me..

That isn't root problem.
Why don't you edit the title, like fail to flash xxx rom.
Now, what model is your tab, running what version of Android, us it stock condition, never rooted and you tried to use stock recovery instead of CWM recovery.
You need to read a lot of things before jumping in like that.

[Q] Is it worth it?

hey guys, I was thinking to root my note n7000 running android 4.0.4
I read many threads and guides but could not understand the way to do it...
some says "this way is better and safe" and some says "that one is risky, try another"
Actually I want to root because of two reasons
1. Want to install a beautiful (good looking) ROM like MIUI (cause installing themes makes my note slow, toooo slow and then it crashes too)
2. I want some apps that require root (like an app to remove permissions that apps ask but they don't actually need)
So I wanna ask you guys, is it worth rooting?
Is it possible to install MIUI in note OR is there any other better alternative to MIUI
I don't really care about the warranty as long as I can understand the way to root my phone safely so I won't brick it (though I even read in some threads that you can root without going against the warranty conditions)
I also saw the one-click root setup that needs a PC, download the rar, connect phone, USB-debugging and start the file in PC, is it safe and not outdated or patched by the android 4.0.4
So guys, suggest me should I root or just wait for JB update for the note
and if you suggest that I should root then can you please :angel: point me in a direction, to a good and easy to follow guide for newbies...
:highfive:

i rooted the note as soon as i got it..
its very simple to root a 4.0.4 these days and safe as well..
check you rom build number and download the kernel corresponding to your rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
then place the zip file in the ext SD.. boot into recovery and update from external SD and point to the Zip file.. install and done..
Rooted, safe kernel and CWM for installing new roms as well...

yes.. it is easy and safe if you fully understand and follow every instruction. Good Luck.. "How can a tree lives without its root.. hahahaha"

It's definitely worth it if you're thinking about it, it opens the doors to getting so much more out of your device. Follow nokiamodeln91 suggestions and you'll be fine.

thanks man for the reply,
I understand the later part that transfering the zip files to external SD and install from it
but I fail to unerstand which zip file to download
my "build number" is "IMM76D.DDLR9"
and "baseband version" is "N7000DDLRR1"
also I wanted to ask if this the same CWM.zip method as mentioned in this THREAD cause they are saying that following this method will result in a brick
one last thing, if you could also make my doubts clear
rooting is needed to access to system files so that we can install and use apps which require ROOT
but I do not know about kernel and CWM...
once again many many thanks for the reply...:victory::angel:

Use ddlr9
cwm.zip can result in a brick
yes root is needed to access system
to install. mods, tweaks, different roms etc etc. etc

kernel is a universal name. You can look it up anywhere
cwm is an advanced recovery that can perform many tasks as compared to stock recovery and is embedded in the kernel for note. when you change kernel your recovery will change as per what the dev included.
cwm is aso required to install custom roms

Considering your requirements you should root.
Your only concern is that you may not be able to do it properly.
Rooting is now a cake walk. Just follow Dr ketans thread

yeah that's what I thought
I would rather give it to some other person who knows the process of rooting than doing it myself, looks very confusing to me :silly:

okay done!
so I have finally rooted and flashed my kernel...
I followed this guide on youtube
youtube[dot]com/watch?v=fIV84TwdPdY
basically, it told me to download "Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed.zip" and update from the zip and I followed
then I got the supersu app in my note and my note was rooted then following the guide again, I installed "mobile odin pro" from the play store, downloaded "speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-15-CWM.zip" and using mobile odin i flashed it
so now my phone's "about" page is like this
View attachment 1653682
so I just wanted to ask whether this kernel is safe or not, do I have to still flash something else cause I read that most of the ICS kernels are affected with the "brick" bug and I was on android 4.0.4 when I rooted and flashed my phone..,
and what about flashing roms...,

It's only stock ics roms that are unsafe. Speedmod is safe, also worth checking out is phillz kernel which is as close to stock as you can get but with the mmc_cap_erase command disabled.
Since you're on a safe kernel now you can flash most roms straight away, although if flashing cm based rom like paranoid or cm10 you usually need to flash a cm based kernel first, then boot into recovery and flash the cm rom from there. All first posts will contain necessary flashing procedures. You'll get the hang of it and if you need help continue asking.

further query
first, thank you SpyderTracks for your quick response, I actually slept last night cause I didn't think that I would get an answer so fast :angel:
now, what rom you people suggest me to install as I am AGAIN confused to choose the rom
and as SpyderTracks said to install CM roms i need CM kernel too, so I suppose there will be again many more choices, so would anyone tell me which one is the easiest and simplest...
I actually looked at many roms
like MIUI, CyanogenMod, some jellybean roms like JellyBam
so from where should I start to understand this rooting things
P.S I have got mobile odin pro and rom manager from store, if they can help
EDIT
please help me out, I did something wrong
i downloaded and installed mobile odin pro
flashed latest CWM
and then I downloaded "RocketMIUI v8 - MIUI 2.10.19 - SNote running!!! - multilang" and wenti into recovery vol. up+power+home
first of all I used "wipe data/factory reset" option and then "wipe cache partition" and then finally I used "install zip from sdcard"
update was succesfully done but now when I start my note, it gets to samsung logo normally then the welcome page of samsung shows up and there i'm getting an error "unfortunately, phone has stopped" and now I cannot do anyting
PLEASE help O

It's just a flashing error or kernel issue, don't worry just yet. Reflash the rom, it comes provided with hydracore kernel. Leave it with that kernel, remember to do 3 wipes after flash, then try reboot.

[Q] Flashing & Upgradation of SGS I9000

Hi All,
A very good morning to all.
As the title suggests, I am requesting guidance in step by step manner. Since there is so much information that I am confused & hence creating this thread.
Below are the complete info of the phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I9000DDJV7
Kernel Version: [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DDJVB
My phone is a stock phone & has been never flashed before.
As per my research, its said that I should have a custom recovery in place & Clockworkmod recovery is the one of the best. I want to install the same using ROM Manager rather than using ODIN. I have got it from Google Store. But after clicking on install/upgrade "Clockworkmod recovery" then confirming my phone model. Then when I click Flash Clockworkmod Recovery I get this error - "An error occured while flashing your recovery".
I am not using ODIN as I can't delete update.zip file from my SD Card. Hence I am avoiding that approach so that I don't have any issues with accidental deletion of update.zip.
Requesting guidance.
Regards
Sudhir

Now, I have found an app called root checker. It is giving me the below info:
SU - Not Found.
Root Access - No Access.
Please guide me on what should I do next.
Regards
Sudhir

Hey there,
So the reason why ROM manager isn't working for you is precisely the thing you discovered using Root Checker. You're not rooted, and ROM Manager needs root access to work. (ROM Manager doesn't install Clockworkmod properly either, so you may want to refrain from using that).
So you need to root your device first.
The easiest and safest way of doing this is
1.) Flashing XXJW4 using Odin (if you're unable to use Odin for whatever reason this step isn't easily done).
Then
2.) Flashing Cf-Root made for XXJW4 (the thread is in these forums) through Odin.
This will root your device and install CWM onto it, so you can flash away.

Thanks Soryuu.. for the guidance.I wanted to know if CF-Root made for XXJW4 will work for DDJV7.
Regards
Sudhir

It may but I do not recommend it. I have done that a couple times but with xxjvk and I think xxjvo. If you gona try it do it at your own risk. Rather download the cf root for ddjv7

Hmmm, I don't think one was made for DDVJ7. Chainfire stopped making them after JW4 so a lot of newer firmwares are missing.
I wouldn't recommend trying, but you SHOULD be able to flash in a stock rom or stock kernel again should something go wrong.
But as I said, I wouldn't try it for the sake of safety.
Easier to flash XXJW4 instead because at least you know that the CF-Root made for it will obviously work
