Rooting a branded phone

Hey everyone. I am very interested in rooting, and hopefully flashing once i have done the basic root first. Please can you answer each question I have an Orange branded SGS GT-i9000. Here are the specs:
FW Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9000BVJV3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000BVJVC-CL679241 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
Question 1: do i need to know the whole of the kernel or just part of it?
Question 2: I always see rooting guides saying 'How to root (FW version) JV(something). Where does the JV come from, as i have 2 types of JV, JV3 and JVC. So what does rooting depend on other than firmware version?
Question 3: I have noticed the Orange firmware is a different JV. So how do i know the root will work with my version as the root guides are always on stock roms?
Thanks in advance : )

Hello Tarnwilliamson, I think I am in the same boat as you, I also am on Orange with the same spec phone as you wanting to root. I was just wondering have you found out anything about rooting this phone? I have searched dev and q & a section but there seems to be no posts on this topic. I dont want to start a new thread so I though I would ask you first. Thank u in advance.

hello
You may try with Super one click root or try to flash your rom with odin to STOCK ROM (i have I9000xxjvu for example) and use CFROOT for your rom with PDA in odin. That gives u the root accsess, superuser and busybox ( CFroot IS A KERNEL) it is many subject on XDA.

Hello Marcinrek21, Thank you for your reply. As my Build number ends with jvc isnt there a specific file I need to flash with if using Odin? Or am I mistaken and I can flash with any cf root file as long as it is for a gt19000? As for super one click is that still compatibable with 2.3.5 as I remember reading somewhere the bootloader may be locked with gingerbread? Thank you in advance.

I need help rooting my galaxy s (2.3.3)

my phone is galaxy s:
firmware version: 2.3.3
baseband version: I9000XXJVQ
kernel version: [email protected] #2
build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVN.
i am in Greece so the version of android is 2.3.3
Can anyone tell me safe steps to root my phone, unroot my phone and if there will be risks and troubles when i ll root my device?

Hi there is no root package available for JVN....you could install a pre rooted stock samsung firmware via Odin...(google or you tube it first then ask questions if unsure) , if you then want to unroot the phone you just install a totally stock samsung firmware.

thanks
ok thank you i ll try it...

Flash cf-root kernel with Odin or search and download "oneclickroot" to your PC and follow instructions.
Search for cf-root

Samsung GT N7000 2.3.6 Carrier Unlock?

Can anyone help me with some instructions on how to do this?
I have a Galaxy S2 and My Dad has N7000 both on contracts with different suppliers and we want to swap phones.
I've been searching on methods to do so but can't find exactly what I need to do.
I've seen people write it has to be downgraded to 2.3.5 then unlocked.
IS it possible on 2.3.6 or do I need to downgrade? Where do I find the correct version of 2.3.5? (for UK, locked to Orange)
I know I use Odin to do it.
Once I've downgraded what do I do next?
Do I need to download software?
I'm just having trouble piecing it all together and would appreciate any help
Thank you

Check your kernel version. If you have KJ4 then try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oZWxyb3ouZ2FsYXh5c3VubG9jayJd
It's confirmed to unlock Note on KJ4, maybe other kernels too. If your version is not supported - nothing will happen, so just try it. If it won't work on your current firmware, download GB KJ4 rom from dr. Ketan's guide, flash it, root and run this app again - it'll unlock your phone in seconds.
Here's link to the guide i mentioned:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
There is also a tutorial on rooting your phone should you need it.
As far as i know, this app is only compatible with the N7000. Do not use this app with AT&T / 4G model.

Thanks for your response
I don't have the KJ4 I have
PDA: N7000XXLC1
Phone: N7000XXLB2
CSC: N7000ORALA1
On that list from the link you gave me, I dont see a GB KJ4. Do I need an Open Europe Stock ROM of 2.3.5? Then I root, then use helroz's unlock app?
Thanks again

Witch one i need to download.

Your current ROM is non rootable directly
You can choose one of following option
-Downgrade to rootable ROM, and update to desired GB ROM with Mobile odin later
-Select prerooted G ROM
-Flash ICS and Root directly
Required all links available on my signature.

How to install Cyanogen Mod on stock Galaxy S

I'm hoping someone here wouldn't mind directing me to the right files and explain what exactly I'm supposed to do to root my phone and then install the new ROM?
