SuperOneClick.

Desktop app that seems to work with EVERY firmware version I've tried.
Alternatively, flash one of the custom kernels from the i9000 dev forum. For example, I've flashed SpeedMod which includes root as well as the recovery fix.

Yeah, I met the same problem, once I upgraded to official 2.2.1 JPY. Unfortunately, since Z4root doesn't work anymore, there is no easy way to root it without computer.
Seems like super one click is the best option so far.
Plus, you might be aware as well, adfree can't support i9000 2.2.1. :-(

Thank you, with SuperOneClick it worked .
I'm Root again.

I could not get SuperOneClick working on my Dutch SGS. I regained root on 2.2.1 with CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.
Just pushed it in using Odin, no problems so far.

[Q] Unrooting Captivate (Gingerbread 2.3.3)

hey everyone
i've got a problem here ><" researched all day but couldn't find the answer..
i updated my phone today to gingerbread 2.3.3 KF1 using Odin and then rooted it using the Rooted Kernel and Odin so i could uninstall all those stock apps which i didn't want. now im done uninstalling them, how do i unroot my phone ? ...

You should be able to use SuperOneClick (works every time for me) to unroot your phone. Just make sure it is in usb debug mode (settings>applications>debugging).

Install z4 root app on your cappy,it is the easiest method to root and unroot.....!
Just one click in the app and your unrooted and another click your rooted.....
Easy right?

[Q] Root-Problems after Firmware Update to 2.3.6

Hey, perhaps somebody can heIp me.
Updated my Galaxy Tab 7 today from Firmware 2.3.6 (other details I don't know) to
Firmware 2.3.6
Kernel-Version 2.6.35.7
Buildnummer GINGERBREAD.BOJU3
over Samsung Kies.
The Tablet was rooted, but after i confirmed the Firmware Update the Root wasn't there anymore.
Tried to re-root the Tablet with SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse & DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su_1_
but both didn't work.
Anyone got any Idea how to re-root or fix this. Got no Backup so resetting is the last option.
DooMLoRDs Tool said that he can't wright the SU File true no Write-Rights.
Superuser 3.3 is still installed and can't be uninstalled true no root rights.
SuperOneClick will not finish the Root and stops mostly on Part 7 of the procedure.
Tried to rooted with debugging and tablet on.
Thank You
maRul

Start by telling US which model is your galaxy tab 7.
There are many variants.

ahh sorry ; PT1000

Try chainfire root 3.3

I used CF-Root V3.3 from chainfire. It works for me.
You must flash this via Odin in Phone slot.
Uploaded for you
Good luck

No, kernel is just the kernel it doesnt affect your installed apps.
Anyway, I wouldnt bother with stock GB, I would recommend Overcom rom if you want GB and not ICS/JB.

thanks 4 helping. Installed a new Kernel with Odin3 8.5.
System is now rooted.
Perhaps I will update to ICS or JB later.
greetings

2.3.6

Theres no space to install superuser on official 2.3.6 GB.. thats not cfroot kernel fault.. just remove file/app on system..

boot loop

[Q] [i9000] Attempted to root froyo using heimdall, stuck in d/l mode

Hi guys,
Sorry if this has already been solved, I've been reading and attempting fixes for a day now with no success.
My i9000 is on froyo. I am running Ubuntu 12.10 so obviously my options to use odin are limited.
My goal is to root it and upgrade to Jelly Bean.
After much reading (not enough?) I decided to give heimdall a shot using this TUT
and info gathered from here amongst other places.
I managed to finally get my device to show in Heimdall. I then flashed it. I think using files found in either of those places.
Now I have a semi-bricked Galaxy S which I can get it into Download mode.
This morning I grabbed my GF's Windows Netbook and installed Kies and Odin hoping to follow a more orthodox route to getting this phone to a functional state.
Kies hangs at connecting. Odin recognized the phone though it FAILED anytime I tried flashing it with stock firmware.
I can provide error messages if you need them.
At present I must restore firmware back to stock -> then root stock firmware -> then upgrade to Jelly Bean is that correct?
If it is can anyone point me in the right direction to restoring the stock firmware?

The best thing for you to do would be to search this forum for the update and root tutorial for the 2.3.6 value pack then flash 4.2.2 there should be tutorials for heimdal and Odin

[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
