noob: problems when rooting

hey guys today i got a vodafone locked samsung galaxay s . I wanted to unlock it so i read a guide on how to root it , i followed this guide using odin3 . I put the phone into download mode and ran odin3 , i followed everything the guide said and started odin3 but odin stops on zImage , I left it for an hour and nothing changed . Now the phone shows the symbol below when i try to turn it on . I can get the phone back into download mode im just wondering if anyone knows a way to get this phone rooted ?

i suffered that alot when i was new to rooting and flashing, just try flashing a new stock firmware back to the phone from samfirmwares.com and see how you go,
actualy pre rooted firmware
firmware http://www.multiupload.com/YY0JBMUWBF
csc file http://www.multiupload.com/NRVCK6KYWD
512 pit file http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1
see how you go with that, although u may need to manually add youre providers apn settings in after though

Regarding the icon: flash the bootloaders(boot & Sbl) and a working kernel

Thanks for the posts ...fliptechnologies do i use odin to flash them files ? where does the firmware go ?(pda?). Does anyone know if anyone with the same problem has made a guide by any chance ?
thanks

there are apps which help you root your phone using adb
like SuperOneClick you might want to try it, or using a firmware with root as suggested
there is also an app which can be installed in your phone to root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953)
but first you need to get a firmware in order to install that app
get an stock ROM like 2.2 froyo or 2.1 eclair, then try with the app

rooted & not :: is it too perfect to be re-rooted

hi guys

as you can see i rooted my device so i can use CyanogenMod Roms
the question is , these roms .. isn't it supposed to be rooted ?? & if it is rooted why RootExplorer doesn't work ?? the rom let's me to INSTALL root explorer(just install) NOT USING it , keeps giving me FCs ... same thing with any root-needed applications
i tried every thing , tried to re-root it if it is already rooted in the 1st place ,even i unlocked the BootLoader ( as u can see i am on nAa kernel ) , then i tried every thing & every option in all rooting tools ( superone click , z4root , flashtool [all versions])
it makes me loosing my mind & i think these roms ( tried many ) are semi-rooted or not rooted at all , or may i am the one who didn't know enough
( by the way i tried to figure out is it rooted or not by using the Terminal emulator [ su orders ] ===> permission denied )
sorry for my trrbl English , as u can c i am from z sunny half of z world

hi
hi there, i got your pm.
1st:i think you should try a full wipe.
2nd: if you have it, try flashing a rom that is compatible with xrecovery, with xrecovery.
3rd: i have the problem with root explorer. it lets me open it, it does however ask me for root rights but when i accept it just closes so i dont use often.
But all my other root apps work just fine... i await any reply

[Q] How to make this option in custume ROM

Hello, That's long time to get suitable ROM for me. I have tried all of ROM with stock kernel. Some of ROM have apk installer like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyone know how to make or adding this installer option in my ROM?
Thanks

Well,if you want to get that button,you should install another rom or you may adjust the place where the application install in settings>application>manage application,
Moreover,I suggest that you should flash another kernel because there are fewer and fewer ROMs for stock kernel~

my magic number is 11w47, I can't do anything
thanks for information bro

OK just delete PackageInstaller.ODEX before applying this patch.
And then install it via CWM Recovery.
"SPECIAL THANKS" Goes to yousef-p for this patch.
Tell me if it works.

but,not all of 11w29+ can't unlock bootloader.
some can...
check first using the s1 tool..
if its can detect an read your id,mean you can.
but if can't..it's very risky..
try to unlock using other method..

now,the question is,can i root using the mentioned method?ive downloaded the how to root guide from dr.ketan, but when i read about the hardbrick,im getting confuse..so,is it safe to continue using this method?..
thanks in advanced

Yes the rooting process is safe. Its just not safe to do a factory reset or data wipe if you are on a lpy-lpf etc kernel.

ok,so whati need to do,i downgrade my phone to direct rootable rom using pc odin,root it then install cwm..and if i want to install an ics rom,i use the cwm is it and keep my cf root..then i will have an updated rom with root and cwm...am i correct?

anyone?

no no no, thats not the way it works, no need to downgrade, but there are some other things to consider as the yellow triangle that appears after flashing a cf root.tar, i thing the safer and quicker method would be this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
as it says, just dont make any backup or restore because it dont work but the root will work fine

what if i wanted to flash a custom rom?for example the kingdroid..so,i need to install cwm is it?

Flash Using Mobile ODIN
With root on, you can always use mobile ODIN to flash to any firmware of your choice. No binary count and also no triangle.

You can use MO to flash any STOCK firmware of your choice.
For custom ones you need to have a working CWM Recovery.

SGS slow booting and all crashing

Hi,
I have problem with SGS. When I got it from my friend there was Android 2.3.3. When i turn on the phone, booting took maybe 30minutes, then all apps started to crash. So I did wipe data and wipe cache in system recovery but it didnt solve the problem. Then I flash over Odin official firmware but still booting takes about 30minutes and all apps are crashing. I tried to flash three files rom via odin too but it didnt help. So please help, i really dont know what to do now, i tried everything
Phone is non-rooted, there is official 2.3.6 but all is crashing so it is unusable.
Thanks and sorry for my english

yes you can, use odin and the download menu of the phone (turn it of, then turn it on and press volume down + home + power buttom for a few sec)
there are a few guids in this forum how to do that, just search for it
