[Q] Q: How to root my new SGS 2.2

Hi everyone I have seached the forum and found some threats on this subject, but nothing that helped me.
PDA: I9000XWJPF
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000TDCJP3
And my revovery is e3
I have tried One Click Root from XDA and z4root.
The One Click Root gives me the Verification error and the z4root just stalls..
Please help me. I want to apply lagfix and custom roms.

you didn't read enough. There is TONS of info on how to root the Galaxy S.
First of all i suggest you change upgrade to a more recent ROM, such as JPY. Go to the General Section and a thread for JPY will be there, you can get Odin in that thread too or from the link in my sig. To root, all you need is Odin v1.7 and CF-Root, the thread is here: [21.12.2010][CF-Root v1.3] JPH/K/6/M/A/O/U/X/Y - su+busybox+2e, CWM compat!
You can't have 3e Recovery, CF-root will give you 2e.
OR you could simply flash a custom ROM and you'll have root pre-installed.

I saw that thread but i dont know witch file to download whit my fw specifications
Jess

It doesn't matter what firmware you have before, the only thing that does matter is the CSC, which contains countries' specific provider APN's etc, but it'll have the EU CSC so you should be fine. Get Odin v1.7 and flash JPY over, and then you can flash CF-Root or a Kernel like Hardcore's, to get Clockworkmod as well, in order to flash a custom ROM.

So as it is now i just use odin and flash lets say DocRom XXJPX ?

Would be better to flash stock JPY, use CF-Root and then flash Doc/Darky ROM.

Can you point me a link for such fw? The one that fit my current fw.

Shall i flash all the files? pda phone and so on?

Guy don't flash the JPY if you want to use GPS. After I flashed it on my German Galaxy S. It takes hours to fix the GPS and then you just get an accuracy (do I write it right?) of around 100 meters. Better use the JPX with JPA WiFi drivers.

Link? And am i still going to flash all files?

Lets see if we can complicate this further for this poor guy.
An easier approach if you don't want to touch your firmware is to flash a modified kernel. For example SpeedMod will give you root as well as other goodies (2e recovery, clockwork recovery, etc).

Download and flash it using ODIN (put the file into the PDA box).

This was what i was lookning for and after i have done this i can use costom roms with clockwork?

After I upgraded my Froyo 2.2 from JPA to FROYO.DXJPE I9000DXJPB I couldnt root using z4root at all. What can I do? The upgrade fixed my GPS problems tho. But my SGS Lags now. Help please. It also says my Recovery is 3e.

Want to jump in too...
I'm also interested in Darky's but did a fine job bricking my phone recently when I tried to flash to another firmware. So I need something like an idiot's/tech bimbo's guide...
My phone is the I-9000 international, running on official froyo 2.2, not rooted. Can someone kindly spell out the steps of exactly what I need to do? I came across many sites with incomplete information or even conflicting sequences when using Odin, so I'm a little paranoid about bricking my phone again. TIA.

2.2.1 stock deodexed firmware for i9000

well yes i acctually own a n1 and am obssessed with roms. right now im still trying to get myself familiarized with the sgs. which is kinda confusing coz of all the numbers.
iam on darky's 9.2. its alright but looking for a stock one right now so that i can customized it myself to my liking.
heres specifically what i wanna do right now:
- flash a stock 2.2.1 rom deodexed
- apply kernel (voodoo or speedmonk)
- lagfix (not sure if it depends what kernel
- all from cwm no odin. (bad experience) lol
and from there on thats where ill start from. right now thats all i wanna do.
thank you for your reply sir.

Okay on a pc here is the link

[Q] How to root Gingerbread?

SuperOneClick only works up to Froyo, and doesn't work on GB.
What you need is to root from this thread here.
Depending on which FW you have (Like many used JVQ or JVR for 2.3.4) is the file that you need to download. Once you download the correct file that matches your FW, then you flash that file once again in Odin, and you are rooted...

CF-Root is the easiest way to root your Phone.

Yep !!!
and for more info CF-Root indeed is the best tweak in kernel right now!!!

How do I determine which file to flash from that CF Root thread?

flash it with odin, just add the .tar file to PDA. then start

Read the first couple of posts within that thread. But in short find the same kernal as yours, or the nearest.

Chainfire said:
Help! I don't know which file to pick! The filenames confuse me!
First thing: don't panic! It's all rather easy, and you won't easily do something bad! I am personally attentive to use the exact same version as the ROM I am running, but it's not that important.
First, go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. It should say something like FROYO.xxJPy. It's primarily the JPy that we are interested in. Try to match that with a download link available in this (and the next few) posts. Some of the downloads dont just have JPy file name format, but are called xx_xxx_JPy.
Let me explain that. Samsung isn't always very precise in naming/marking their different (leaked) firmwares. CF-Root's are modified kernels, the filenames explain in more detail which exact firmware ROM the base kernel was taken from, for those experts who understand.
If you are not one of those people, go back to the JPy thing. The "y" in JPy is 0-9, A-Z. If they run out of numbers, they use letters. So A would be 10 (9 + 1), while Z would be 35 (9 + 26). Find the one that is closest to yours, if yours is not present, and flash that one.
The truth is, these kernels, they don't differ all that much. It's quite likely that the very latest version (at time of writing: JPY) will work perfectly fine on your ROM. There are some small differences, but using a different version is unlikely to cause serious issues. The closer the versions are, the less likely there are to be issues, BUT it is still quite possible that the latest version will work better for you than the matching version (or not!).
If you are just installing CF-Root to flash a custom ROM like Darky, make sure you have ROM Manager already installed, ClockworkMod flashed, then simply install the latest CF-Root, reboot once normally, then reboot in recovery and run the Darky update.zip. In this case it does NOT need to be a near match at all!

Sooo based on this i think he cannot use CF-Root, as for some reason he is not running a JPX version. Could be because he is on the Korean SGS
Not sure if you have posted here, but its best to search this thread and if it cant be found, post, but remember to read the specifics you need to procide in the first thread for if/when you post

It looks that you're right, and based on the values: SHW-M110S and GINGERBREAD.VF24 and using the wonderful properties of uncle Google, only one what could be found (at least for me, and I wans't digging too deeply) was:

[Q] Rooting samsung galaxy s I9000 2.3.3

Hello,
I want to root my samsung galaxy s I9000, but I dont know what kernel etc I should use.
Firmware 2.3.3
Baseband Version I9000XXJVO
Kernelversion [email protected] #2
Buildnumber GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
Are there any guides/tutorials around that might help me out?
Searched around but couldnt find anything.
Thx already!

I would say in the following thread you will find everything you need It's a Kernel which ist like the stock one and only adds root and CWM. a guide is included in the Thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108

Oke, and after i rooted my phone with the link u provided me, i can install roms etc?
thx!

Yes with cf-root you can instal custom rom

What version of the guides kernel do i need btw? im totally new to rooting my phone.
Thanks for all the help already!

Anyone could help me?

Try rom JW1 and semaphore kernel 2.4.0. I am using this combination and its good .

But can I take a kernel that is a other version, higher then the 2.3.3 that I am on right now? And do I need a kernel thats is build on .XWJVH, or does that not make any difference?

I think you can put the kernel with the newer version, but it will be better as the newer rom and upload to the newer kernel, you will be satisfied.

Im still kinda confused on how to flash/root my phone. Aint there any newbie guide that explains everything and makes it easyer for me to root my phone? And I still dont know if it matters what version kernel i take etc...
Thx!

You're dutch, aren't you?
Just go to androidworld.nl, that's easier for you I think...

You can normally use Kernel's that are close to your rom, but it is recommended to use only those kernels for your rom- as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

How to change font

hi guys !
Bit new to SGN world. Have stock android 2.3.6 Not rooted yet. I changed the font sometime back but forgot how. i want to change it again . Is it in the general settings ?

If you are going to root the phone you also could use an app like fontchanger. Don't have a working Note at the moment (bricked ) i also know there is a setting that changes the font and fontsize in some apps like mail, s calendar etc.

Go to setting--->display--->screen display--->font style.There are the pre-installed fonts or you can get fonts online.

Edit: Already posted above :|

Thanks for your answers guys, I must have searched a dozen times in there Vijai but never suspected screen display again !!
Is it ok if i ask another little Q ? Because of the recent reportings of bricks I just want to be doubly sure -
I have kernel - XXKL3
For rooting do i have to get this file - SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip
find the tar file inside it then flash with pc odin ?
and for CWM recovery i have to use this - CFroot for kernel KJ1 ?
thanks for help guys

Why do you need those outdated roms???See this,download latest rom,use the instruction there to flash it.
Then download mobile odin and the respective cf-root kernel and flash the kernel using mobile odin.

Dont worry when you flash that rom,your kernel is updated automatically.After flashing that rom flash CF-root LB2 kernel through mobile odin to get CWM

Why when I go to use fontchanger does it keep asking for superuser permissions?

Because the app needs root access.And the root access is gained by hacking the kernel.So the difference between the stock kernel and custom kernel is,Stock kernel has no root access since its not hacked and custom kernel is hacked.So the kernel included in the rom you downloaded is hacked which gives root access.
