[Q] I9000M: Rooting Froyo (JL2)

How do you root a JL2 Froyo on an I9000M?

I am looking how to root it also.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

same here, superoneclick doesn't work. Tried all possible methods.
Killing ADB Server...
OK
Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

OK
Running rageagainstthecage...

FAILED

Superoneclick works fine for me: http://goo.gl/DxOP7

What worked for me Bell I9000M JK4 or JL2 was to:
Disconnect Phone
Enable USB Debugging Mode
Shut Down Phone
Open SuperOneClick
Press ROOT
Wait until you see "Waiting for Device"
Connect Phone, wait for battery charging graphic
Turn On Phone
Let it do its thing, it should work all the way until you get SuperUser pushed to your device
If you get an USB error, try again from the start using another port

That's exactly what I did and had no problems. To get busybox installed, I opened titanium backup, clicked the "problems" button and let that app overall it.

has anyone found any other options to root other than SuperOneClick? I'm not sure if it's just my phone, but I start to get a lot of lag after using this to root...

For me, i just flashed speedmod inside the cwr there is a setting to root & install busybox

omg how does it take rageagainstthecage to run its thing.... it feels like its stuck

make sure the phone is Awake, if it's in sleep mode (black screen) it wont do anything

How do I get a root file for my Bell Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant GT-I9000m with android 2.2 Froyo.UGJL2. I tried rooting it but I can't find any root file. I think I accidentally reformatted my internal sdcard. Pls. help!

I am having trouble using SuperOneClick, but it seems to be different from problems that other people are getting. I read through and watched the video. Everything said it was ok, and it seemed like all worked. I even got the "superuser" application installed. The problem is that su doesn't seem to work. If I go to a terminal window and type "su", I get Permission Denied. When I go to Titanium it says there is a problem with root. I tried installing busybox, and upgrading superuser, however these fail.
I just got my phone back from Samsung and they replaced the motherboard, and obviously put the new sotfware on it, however it seems to be the same 2.2 OS that everybody is talking about "JL2"
Has anybody seen this? any idea what might be happening?

I was able to answer my own question. I was able to root my phone using SuperOneClick by choosing the radio button for rageagainstthecage, instead of psneuter.

I have heard of many ppl having issues with Superoneclick and antivirus software preventing it from working properly or straight out removing it from the pc. Disabling the av software when you unzip and use the superoneclick may help.

[Q] at&t Samsung Captivate 2.2 unlock without SIM

Hi All,
I am trying to unlock a brand new at&t locked samsung captivate. Details:
Model - Samsung-SGH-I897
Firmware - 2.2
Kernel - 2.6.32.9
Build - FROYO.UCKB2
I have the USB debugging enabled and *#7465625# gives me Network Lock [ON].
I don't have at&t sim so was trying to follow --> 1) This <-- and --> 2) This <-- and --> 3) This <--.
And just now tried --> 4) This too <-- and this is the farthest I have reached till now.
But I am facing problems.
1) When Generate_Code.bat is run it gives this:
Code:
Copy nv_data.bin
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
failed to copy '/efs/nv_data.bin' to './nv_data.bin': Permission denied
Extract code
2) When SuperOneClick is run and Root button is clicked then it halts at:
Rooting device... -Step #7 WaitForDevice 0.15s
and then it stops responding.
3) I have android-sdk-windows on my machine and its in the env path. When I do "adb shell" I get a "$" prompt. But when I do "su" it says "su: Not Found".
So I am not able to use this method too.
4) When followed the steps my phone rebooted and I can see the Android system recovery screen. I selected the "Reinstall Packages" from the menu but then it says:
E: Signature Verification Failed
Installation Aborted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So till now this is also not working. I am still looking.
Is there anything that I am missing? (I am still reading)
Is it possible to unlock 2.2 without root and without at&t sim?
Is it possible to root 2.2 with SuperOneClick with the default settings?
Thanks

I don't know anything about unlocking, but the errors you are getting are because you are not rooted. I would try another method for getting root and then try again.

Do you have USB debugging turned on?

I am still reading more about different methods to get root and will try it tonight and yes I have USB debugging on.
I was just wondering if I would be able to do it without getting root but if that is the only way, I will have to do that...!!

You need root to unlock your device. Current method which you are using (Super One Click) is unable to root your phone. Try another method, may be Galaxy S One Click root. I haven't rooted Stock Froyo (KB1 or KB2) so I'm not sure which method will surely work.
Once you are rooted, try again with unlocking methods. And yes, you should be able to unlock without AT&T SIM.

Now I have tried Captivate One Click Root also and this is the farthest I have gone till now. This link explains correctly but now when my phone reboots and I do a Reinstall Packages - it says
E:signature verification failed. Installation Aborted.

So still looking...

Problems with rooting

I followed dr ketan's guide to root my Note. When I ran the BAT file, it went until the following place and stopped:
--- STARTING ---
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE ---
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
Waited for about 15 minutes, but nothing happened. So I removed the cable, connected back and tried again. The bat file will now stop at the line:
--- STARTING ---
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE
Tried disconnecting and connecting again with the same result. What could have gone wrong?
I've installed Samsung Keys on PC and the kernel version is 2.6.35.7-N7000DDLA5-CL919506 [email protected] #2, if that makes any sense.

Did you enable allow unknown sources and also under development enable USB debugging? I am running ICS, so can't look it up exactly. Check that once if not then you may want to temporarily disable firewall etc to allow the script to finish.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I've enabled both. You think it may be a firewall settings problem? I don't have admin rights to change them in this computer.

You have used my guide, but have you read it properly?
My guide starts from page Rootable n Non rootable ROM.
Your ROM is LA5 which is nonrootable
If you have not downloaded my recent guide, just download it from last link on my signature, follow it. it will answer all your questions.

Sigh. I've always been bad at following guidelines.
It seems the only option is to downgrade first. Anyway having to stop the firewall and antivirus is also a problem coz I don't have access to a Windows machine with admin rights. Will see.
Thanks a lot!

does anyone know how to remove a preinstalled app, my tablet is rooted i just dont know how to remove a preinstalled app? any ideas?

use titanium backup. with great care on which app you uninstall.

back it up first. Then freeze it. Reboot. If all is well for a few days, you may then uninstall, I reckon, but you don't really need to as freezing is enough.

I didn't think you could root with a locked bootloader...

According to a couple of posts on the developement forum you can.

Hmm, i have Superuser on my phone now,but, Root Checker says no proper root access and no # sign in terminal.

What happens when you type 'su' in terminal? It should give a popup where you can give root access.
Or try SuperSU.

Have you got java installed on your compute?
Also, try installing this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269

not sure if i have the correct java installed, could you give me a link or tell me which package(s) or version etc i need please

You may have another ADB program open e.g. flashtool... This happened to me, if not reboot your PC

ok...i'll try that..thanx

Just an after thought....I have kies installed on my pc also. Would this make a difference ?

If kies has ADB, it could be a problem indeed if kies' ADB is used. Just uninstall kies and try.
Did you also try Doomlord's Easy Rooting Toolkit? Might be worth trying if you don't get results with bin4ry.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app

I'll uninstall kies see if that works.
It doesn't matter which tool use, I get the same result though.
I don't think I'm going to be able to crack this one.

I uninstalled flashtool then reinstalled it. Everything works ok now. My phone's rooted. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Looking to go AOSP from Stock KK [4.4.4]

Sooooooooooo,
I have a Z1 [C6903] that I picked up yesterday. It came with 14.2.A.1.136 Jellybean 4.3.
I wanted to
Unlock bootloader
Install custom recovery
Root
Install any nice AOSP ROM [preferably LP-based]
I installed the Minimal ADB-Fastboot 1.4.
I also installed the Flashtool 0.9.18.2.
I also installed the Z1 device, Fastboot, and Flashmode drivers [version 1.6.2] from the driver folder. It first failed, and then I disabled driver verification then everything went smooth!
Device manager recognized the phone in MTP and Fastboot, and Flashmode modes. Drivers installed correctly I presume.
Then the challenges arrive:
adb devices returned it as "offline"
Android studio couldn't push a project to it because it was offline
fastboot devices identified it, but fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version returned an error [getvar:version FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))]
Things I've tried to do to rectify the connectivity issue:
I'm using a SurfacePro 4 so I can't switch USB ports [only have one].
I've tried different cables - they yield the same result.
I've enabled and disabled USB debugging, revoked access, unplugged and replugged, rebooted, etc. Still no change in result.
Since the device had some OTA updates pending, I ran those and now i'm on 4.4.4 with 14.4.A.0.157, with some other updates currently waiting for me to accept so they can download. I've decided to post here for help and won't run those updates unless it increases my profit
PS: Even after the updates, adb and fastboot still are unchanged in their results.
Help please
Update:
It was a freaking USB cable. I had tried two of them. None had worked.
I finally unleashed my Anker USB cable and Boom! We good to go!!!
Thanks all!:highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:

Make sure to enable USB debugging in Developer Options at the bottom of the Settings app

Did this and more. Still to no avail.
The phone shows up in the computer, it just doesn't show as online when I run the adb devices command.
That's what I need help with.
Thanks

ahh have you tried using
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
and trying again?
What should happen is the authorisation window pops up on your phone

Excellent! I did that, too. even manually closed and restarted adb.exe to no avail.
The thing is, my Z1 DOES NOT show me the authorization pop-up! Ever!
I've done this a million times on other phones, and I know the procedure. It's just that this Z1 is not showing the authorization popup
Thoughts?

I actually went ahead and tried adb on another PC with minimal adb-fastboot and adb drivers installed, and it returned the same "offline" response
Whoa!:angel:

@boydee
this could work with you
i assume that you rooted your phone you will do that:
1. open your favorite file explorer(suggest: ES File Manger)
2.go to /data/misc/adb/
3.delete "adb_keys" file
4.enable usb debugging
5.reinstall your drivers
6.open command and kill adb server(adb kill-server)
7.connect your device and run command (adb devices)
8.look at your device you will find text box telling you a new pc check always trust bla bla and click trust or something like that
9.you will see something like that

Hey, thanks for the advice!!
Finally got root [without use of PC] and when I open the /data/misc/adb/, the folder is EMPTY
A little confused there.
I did the same procedure for the PC [deleting from C:/Users/boydee/.android/] but it also was to no avail.

This could problem with installing drivers as PC don't detect adb in debugging mode
So disable driver verification again and install drivers from flashtool remember to check
1. Fastboot drivers
2. Flashmode drivers
3. Xperia Z1 drivers
And restart
If the problem not fixed try adb universal drivers just Google it
I was have same problem with win 8.1 but I didn't all that I just installed win 7 and do it
Remember to backup ta before unlock to backup your DRM keys
