Root advice please...

Hi
I have the international galaxy s, i9000, which had the JPO stock firmware, it was also rooted using Z4root. All was fine until yesterday when I uninstalled an app, after re-booting the phone was semi-bricked. No problem I thought, re-flash... so I flashed to the latest JPU (2.2.1), no problem all ok, except the kernel is marked as rooted and now I can't un-root or re-root..? stuck..!
Any advice would be appreciated..? For instance, do I have to re-flash back to JPO and then install z4root then root / unroot or..????
Thanks

any ideas...???

I just fixed mine! I'll send you what I did as I was struggling with the same thing all evening!

Okay, first I used superoneclick to root it, then I used the recovery file and keys in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
and copied them to the correct directories using root explorer. I hope that helps!

When you just reflashed your phone to a new firmware, the kernel will always have the word 'root' inside. Not to worry because that's the original firmware kernel. You just root normally with z4root from then on

Also another thing: 2.2.1 does not support z4root to root your phone. You can use ryanza's OneClickLagFix to root 2.2.1.
Rooting 2.2 with z4root works just fine.

just run z4root, said running exploit etc.... then acquiring root shell.... then it exits on its own but the cpu is going 100% and nothing happens, no superuser nothing..?
If I go back into z4root there is just a crashed 'white screen' and all the while the cpu is still going crazy... If I go into the task manager it shows z4root as Phase1
Only after re-boot does the cpu return to normal..? but no superuser and no root..!
Is it definitely compatible with 2.2.1..?
any ideas..??
thanks

ah just seen your post... ok will try that, thanks
What about SuperOneClick..? would that work with 2.2.1..?

My apologies it's superoneclick and not oneclicklagfix. You could also can use cfroot for JPU. hope that I don't confuse you.

Locked bootloader and xrecovery

Hi guys, I have tired unlocking my bootloader and ended up bricking my device. Even tho its 9w not 11w+ ..anyway I have fixed it and its working and rooted now. But I need help making xrecovery or any recovery work. I have latest 2.1 with baseband. 015 and tried putting the files on system/bin and rebooted nothing showed up when clicking back rappidly. Can any one help? Thx a lot

Why dont you use flashtool to flash another kernel. Other kernels already have recoveries installed with them and you will be able to flash better ROMs but only if you have unlocked the bootloader in the end. Did you unlock it or is it just rooted?
btw you have to install busybox aswell.
read this thread very carefully and beware which package you download.

I couldn't unlock cuz I got bricked while trying. I need to install recovery with my locked bootloader. Is that possible? Gonna check ur link now

Hi, how did you fixed it?? I have the same problem...

LOL.......you cant have an x8 with 9w.. cause it was released in 2010!!

are you sure you putted the 3 files?
Xrecovery.tar
busybox
chargemon

maybe you can downgrade it first dude..
then you can restore your file if you've backup files..
root your phone with SOC or Flashtool
click the padlock icon
afterthat install the root explorer by file manager
OR
copy paste these files (busybox,chargemon, xrecovery.tar) on system\bin after install rootexplorer

wrong section
test in super one click doesnt run because you need to reboot phone to confirm root premission
try to download superuser from market then update binary
and try type in terminal emulator su if it prompt for premission your phone is rooted

Do you have superuser installed on your phone?
From what you said I think your phone is rooted. If superuser is there congratz you have a rooted xperia x8!
Also this doesnt belong in general

Is your baseband xx015?
Also, have you enable USB debugging?

Disable your antivirus and download x8toolbox again, in that particular order. Only then run the program.
You can enable your antivirus back when the whole process is finished.

[Q] Am I rooted or not rooted ?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out whether my Samsung Note N7000 is rooted or not.
I thought I have rooted it as there is a superuser app on the phone. But when I run a root checker app it tells me my phone is not rooted, I tried running rooted apps but not able to so I guess the phone is not rooted.
So I tried rooting my phone again using Superoneclick 2.3.1.0 but the program tells me my phone has ALREADY BEEN ROOTED and whether I want to proceed or not. I select to proceed but Superoneclick hangs at "Shell rooting device... - Step #7" "WaitForDevice"
Both the USB debugging and unknown sources boxes are ticked, SD card unmounted.
Can anyone help ?

I'm also not sure if your phone rooted or not..

dis u enable superuser ？

Reboot into your boot loader, it should tell you there whether it's unlocked or not.

Thanks for the suggestion, although my phone is not locked. I live in HK and bought it without contract...

search for SuperSU 1.10 chainfire
download the files and flash it using stock recovery.
or download phil safe kernel which include superuser
