I had a lot of problems at first too.
The first step you need to do root it with super one click root.
Do a search in the forums. There are several tutorials that explain how to use it. It's really simple.
Using that programs getting the phone to root was easy. The problem I had was the flashing part and getting Odin to work for the first time to install clock work recovery.
Do you mind providing a link? I really need to know the step-by-step procedure and see the reliabilty.

1) download the latest 2.3.6 JW4 firmware (for GT-I9000) from sammobile.com. Also download ODIN and flashing guide.
2) For CF-root , following the instruction on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108.
If you don't want to upgrade to 2.36 then just follow link in the second step . That should have the instructions and the download link for your GB rom. Ensure that you pick the right tar file corresponding to your firmware version.
I am sorry but i am a little dumb and slow -.- I not quite get thr threadnposted by Chainfire, in which the link you provided. I am using a gingerbread 2.3.3 . So what am I supposed to do? Cos they say smth like CF-root Gingerbread (2.4 XXjvk or newer) . What does this actually means? And after that i couldn't get the whole chunk.

ps is it worth rooting my galaxy s and can you recommend any good custom roms if i do
There are benefits to rooting.
If you follow those directions, you will have a fully functional phone.
As far as custom roms, i have used Doc's rom kitchen. That's about it. I can recommend that to you.
do i need an unlocked phone for rooting to work
some say yes some say no.

Hey guys I recently posted a question about this on the general forums but let me explain why I repost it here.
So basically I wanna root my phone so I can use chainfire3d or some app similarly named but you have to be rooted to use it. So previously I was on a kernel KL3 which one of the expert people told me that KL3 can't be rooted or rather have issues rooting so I kinda gave up rooting but.... anyways I recently got a kernel update to LA1, I'm still on 2.3.6 but this time with a different kernel. So I was hoping atleast I might be able to root this kernel but I don't know how, I recently tried using unlockroot software but it gave me a 'failed to get shell foot's which in the website's FAQ said they cannot help imwith that error. So I was wandering if anyone can help me with rooting my phone on a LA1 kernel and please do privies detailed instructions and links if possible as I'm still new to this 'android scene' and I don't want to brick my phone. Also I'm not fond of the idea to downgrade my phone to 2.3.5 just so I can root, I rather wait for 4.0 update then hopefully when a root for ICas arrives then ill root it.
How I wish rooting is as simple as jailbreaking for my iPod

You cant root LA1 too directly.

Well that's a bummer, can I ask why haven't people created a software to root LA1 kernel as I hear its fast for android phones to get root as they are open sorce software.
Anyways correct me if I'm wrong but if i wanted to root I have to wait for the ICS software then root afterwards or I will not be able to root ever?

I cant see this cud be happen so early, better to get old version, Root it. then update to LA4 or any new version with keeping excisting root intact, as i have mentioned above. whether this method will work with ICS or not, is also difficult to say right now.
im going through the same predicament...
Galaxy note LA1 Firmware.
So now my options are ?
1. Downgrade to 2.3.5 ? and r00t and then get back to the latest firmware while keeping r00t
2. Wait for ICS ?
3. Load a Custom Rom like Rocket Rom ?
What are the issues with loading a custom rom? i will get r00t automatically right ? but the Flash counter ?
1. that is the choice shud be.
2. No guarranty ICS will have direct root.
3.Without root How you can install custome ROM? it certainly raise counter, if flash with PC odin
Doc ketan : Thanx for your prompt reply
LA1 is working fine in the non-r00ted avatar on my phone, now the Thread >> [20.01.2012][CF-Root 5.0] KJ1/4/6, KK1/9/A, KL1/3/7/8, LA1/3/4 - su+bb+CWM5 << says it can r00t the LA1 firmware.
What do you recommend should i go ahead with CWM??

No it won't Root LA1, it is just for CF Root for LA1, if you are rooted, then you can get LA1 CF Root.
Ok just to let everyone know and those still struggling to get your notes rooted basically do this.
Use pc odin and flash your phone to a lower firmware (don't worry it will go fine if you read the instructions and follow them no yellow triangle and stuff)
I used India KL1 stock rom from samfirware.com (be warned it takes very long to download it if you don't have a premium hotfile account so if your expecting a 5 minute thing then forget it, took me about 3 hors jlto do the entire thing)
Just use the India KL1 even if your note is not from india or use whatever other rom you feel comfortable with, just make sure its rootable
So after flashing your note with Pc version of odin then use unlock22 software to root your phone, which takes about 10 minutes.
Then finally download your firmware you were on or the one you want (in my case was a LA1) and use mobile odin to flash it
The reason why you do this long method to flash is because LA1 kernel is not directly rootable meaning it can be rooted but you MUST use this longer meathod.
At the end of it all my phone is still functioning fabulously like before but only difference is it is more free than before since its rooted and no loss of data.
I wanna thank Dr. Ketan a lot as he was the one who helped me with my long list of questions without getting annoyed so I appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart, so basically Dr. Ketan is the best and just follow the links in his signiture if you want to root your galaxy note.
Once again thank you Dr Ketan (you rock) and this thread's question... is solved!

Hi, I want to root my phone with this detail
Build number : Froyo.xfjp7
please help me
change your kernel with speedmood froyo, galaxian kernel or other.
please search at i9000 android development section.
you will find there
Easiest root is cf-root. Closest to stock with root priveleges. Read cf-root thread to see which version to download.

I don't know which file should i download , please tell me the cf-root file name.
If you just want root to flash a rom you can load any of the froyo ones if you want to use it with your stock rom then you should a get the right one. Best is to read the thread. It seems fairly daunting as it seems like a lot but is quite simple if you read it.
Sorry I can't be more help but I would need to reread the thread to figure it out. .

I have the SCH-I800 or verizons galaxy tab and am looking to upgrade it some. It currently has galaxy cubed and I wanted to go to CyanogenMod9 or ICS. I tried going to CyanogenMod9 from clockwork but it aborts with error code 7. So does anyone have some recommendations as to what I should upgrade 2 and a rather noobish guide on how to do it?
Thanks

Hi. I have been reading your threads on rooting the original verizon galaxy tab and everything makes sense through root. In one of your posts you say,
"After rooting install clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 ( not sure abt this it can be 5.0.7.2) with heimdall .
Than u can install ics from first link provided "
I am very new at flashing roms, so this portion of your phrase is not clear to me. Before I root, I want to have decent confidence I can get ICS onto my tab. Have downloaded the daily driver you noted (Build 10 and the patch) into folders to flash....None of the files in each look like what was inside the Vanilla folder. ANy additional advice or steps you can provide post root would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much in advance. Will post this on the thread as well in case others are in the same boat.
gonna try it tonight
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585619
from what i read this is suppose to work the same way on the vzw tab. im gonna try tonight and report back.
as per cm9 instructions the rom is suppose to be flashed thru cwm not thru heimdall.... but first you have to upgrade cmw to the 5.. one
*edit*
i followed this method. instead. method above made me soft brick my tab. post #563 has the instructions.... you must use winzip to unzip cmw recovery file

What I'm looking to do is unlock it to allow me to use any network (currently orange).
after that I would then like to look at changing the rom or upgrading to the latest Rom's where able for SIII & S4. :victory:
I've spend a while reading other post so clearer than others but none that can help me as I'm having trouble finding the correct Kernel.
Please any and all help would be most appreciated.:cyclops:

Update on advice
Hi thanks for posting advice.
I've managed to unlock the phone by using a combination of
Rooting it with Unlock Root via pc
That gave me Superuser (upgraded to pro for £2)
BusyBox Free, Titanium backup Free needed also
Then I was able to use Galaxy S Unlock to save files to sdcard and unlock to any network.:victory:
Now does this mean I'm rooted and don't have to follow all the steps that the link above advices
no need if already got busybox installed

Thanks for comments, can I ask now its rooted do I need to install anything else to allow me to change the Rom's such as newer official ones or once others are raving about.
Thanks.
updating or changing ROM was easy method but deadly also, wrong move will come to brick fone. if u really hav thought it well, juz follow any instruction on xda regarding i9000 after confirming ur device version, backed up baseband, build number n etc involve.
n now u ll need cwm for flashing. find cwm to gain access to recovery n thats where u gonna flash ur custom ROM, but read a lot before doing it as here in Q & A section, many success, also failure posted here, so be sure to read first mate

As to what ROM to choose, I seriously like to push my own (eventual) ROM of choice, Mackay ROM (Unless gaming on the phone is your thing, which might bring up desires and demands that other ROMs serve even better.)
Good luck!
