The easiest way, is to use an apk or rooting tool with PC, use one from My Android Collections , link below. If that is not to your liking you can flash a CF root kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795

Installing lagfix?

Hello, i have one piece I9000 running on 2.1 and flashed it with ODIN to 2.1 JPJG8. I now want to install lagfix on it. Can someone instruct me how to do it?
what type of lagfix do u want ? there is a simple one called 'one click lag fix' (OCLF) available in market. or there is voodoo or speedmod.. have a look in the android development section you will see them all in there

Which one to you recommend, im running on 2.1 version JPJG8? ALso, give me link...thank you.
Well checked the site you recommended and found OCLF ok...I wish to install Stock ROM using ODIN. After that can i just root the phone and then install lagfix?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 - this is speedmod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823300 - this is voodoo
i use speedmod but i am not saying that is the best one, i have also used voodoo, they are similar but it all boils down to personal choice there is no best / worst
also read through the whole thread before going ahead with it, make sure its compatible with your device and make sure you know how to recover if something goes wrong.
Ok, thanks for the info bro...i'll check out your link

Lol, even I've forgotten mine because I bought it from Orange....I think all the 2.2.1 works...mine is I9000XXJPU(I've tried to flash I9000XXJPY, but failed )anyway, no need to recall back your original firmware, just take any 2.2.1 firmwares and flash it...but be careful, because there are possibilities to brick your SGS even though the risk is small....
Can you recommend any 2.2 european firmware i can flash with? I dont want 2.2.1 since i think its risky.

Not really, he cannot access internal SD memory after that.
I have tried to flash CWM Recovery only (to keep stock rom) but it doesn't even go to flashing, just stops at the beginning of the process.
I've got this same problem. After flashing kernel + CWM android see only 127 MB of memory. Did anyone fixed this problem? I'm from Poland to but have 8.9 LTE from Plus.
Try flashing cwm and then superuser.zip

Hi Poisike,
Sorry to wake up a somewhat old thread... Curious if we could look into getting the stock ROM for this tablet again? I have the Tab 8.9 LTE ATT version and need to recover from a soft brick -- I can get into ODIN fine, but don't have anything to flash.
The information you were seeking:
CSCVersion.txt ->
I957ATTKJ7_CL571645
Customer.xml ->
<SalesCode>ATT</SalesCode>
Any help appreciated!

hey i wanna ask that is there any problem if task (kies.exe, etc) are killed or not?????
i tried 2-3 times all i got is that the phone is stuck on the boot loop... please suggest something coz i had paid enough to restore my phone
Dude download Odin v1.85 that would be best.... Bring your phone to download mode(volume down + menu+ power button). Now run Odin and connect ur phone, Odin will detect your phone. Now take the cf root file and put it in the PDA and just press start. At finish Odin will make the column green and pass would be written on it.
Congrats ur phone is rooted

Actually flashing jw4 just changes your kernel from jvb to jw4. And it is rooted so works by the way there is.no cf root for jvb.

I guess you can use Heimdall to flash kernel using Mac.
You can download appropriate kernel from this thread,

[Q] What to do/how to root?

My device is GS3 mini. And I have 4.1.2 Android Version, with a XXAMA3 bbv.
How do I root it? Is it normal that I just root normally by Odin3?
And if I did that, am I done or what? And how do I get ROMs for that version?
Thanks. By the way, I am still new to this forums.

Basically, you get the already rooted image, and flash it on the phone via Odin.
