Try the CF-Root kernel.

Thank you, Lunchbox for your fast reply !
But there are many CF-Root-Kernels.
Which one is the right ?
Sorry, but I am a newbie in Kernel-choice....

if you cant be bothered flashing kernels etc here is the the superoneclick method...

just follow that and you will be rooted, then get titanium backup and do a batch backup

Use CF-Root for the JPO firmaware you have. Each kernel has the firmware extension at the end of its file name.

Superoneclick I have testet, but without success .
Does kernel JPO really fit my kernel JV8 ??

Same problem here.
After updating a t-mobile branded I9000 to 2.3.3 via KIES (including wipe) my programs and settings are gone.
All data has been saved in TitanBackup. Unfortunatly TB needs root.
SOC didn't work, now I'm looking for alternatives.
Heard, that cf-root can fix my prob, but still got following questions:
will cf-root work on my branded galaxy?
which cf-root version do I need?
Screeningsleeper

Is there no solution available ?

As far as I know it is possible to root the Galaxy with the FuguRoot.
One thing that is still missing is the correct Odin flashable stock kernel.
Till now there is no kernel for the I9000BOJV8 available at Samfirmware.
I'll keep looking for the kernel.
Hoping to get a quick solution.

Odin 1.82: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1IKLKDPB
Just open Odin, put the tar file as PDA, put the phone in download mode, plug it in, wait for the box under ID:COM to go yellow and the 'added!' message and hit start. It will be done in a few seconds. Install superuser and busybox from the market to see if it works.
Like I said earlier it didn't work right away for me, superuser just FC'd on the first boot. Not sure if it was reflashing or rebooting that fixed it. Just a warning that some tinkering might be required.

OK, Problem solved.
Using the Easy rooting toolkit created by DooMLoRD from here.
Works like a charm for my Galaxy I9000 (PDA I9000BOJV8, Phone I9000XXJVO, CSC I9000GDTMJV7) wih german T-Mobile branding.
Rooting took 3 Minutes, no Problems with this.

Need root only for backup
Hello xda-developers.com
I need some help according to this title "Need root only for backup" I hope I am here correctly.
My problem is:
The Phone turns automatically off without doing anything.
I started it but it get's in a loading loop.
I don't want to make a reset until I backup the data from my phone contacts, pictures etc...
I read in an other forum that it is posible to flash only the kernel via ODIN CF-ROOT_....
to activate some mounts & storage - usb in recovery. So the PC can use the phone as USB device to copy all data from the phone to the PC. Is this correct?
If yes i will need the correct CF-ROOT for this version below i tryed to find the CF-ROOT for this version but I did not find it for my version. Can you help me please?
My phone can load the download mode.

THANKS A LOT!!
The version *-v1.1* doesn't matter?
what means v1.1, Froyo v1.1?

USB storage in recovery mode not listed
Hello
I flashed the Kernel with CF-Root-JPK-v1.1 but i can not activate the USB storage in recovery mode. It's not listed.
Is this not possible or why is this not listed?
If backup my data in this way is not possible.
How can I backup my data from the Phone when the Phone is in a boot loop? :S

[Q] Unable to get Superuser Permission for CWM on Galaxy Note

hie all...
i have done all the steps to root + CWM using the CF-Root method using the 'not-rooted-yet.bat'
manage to get CWM and superuser installed but everytime i go in to CWM. i get this message:
'This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled.'
My purpose is to flash to a custom ROM but i cant seem to get past this rooting part. tried most of the method suggested in forums but kept on getting the same error again and again.
Baseband Version: N7000DXKJ3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000ZSKK1
Please help. thx!

What is your build number?
you can see below kernel version in setting - about phone

ok i dont know what i did just did is for the better or worst.
i used kies and it updated my firmware.
Baseband Version: N7000DXKL2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLA1-CL886914
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DXLA1

I think this shud have solve your issue, it seems, your kernel updated now. But you didn't do it with PC Odin?
otherwise you may have lose Root
Edit : Oh read you have used kies, I think your device no more have Root.

yes i have lost root
but there is only superuser app in the phone but i cant assign root to any app
and the CWM is missing from the applications already
so i assume i have to root + CWM all over again now
please point me to a correct thread. i read a quite a number of your guides and im pretty confused how do i go about it with the newer ROM i am in now which is not directly rootable .
am i correct 2 say so?
sorry for the nooby questions/remarks.

Yes you are on nonrootable rom.
I giving u guideline here follow it.
1. If you have already any older rom on your hand, then just flash it with pc odin
Then get root + cwm,
After that, you can update to newer rom with cwm.
2. If you dont hav older rom handy, just find last link on my signature 'when other method fail.....' Follow that link, then you will have rooted rom.
After that u can get cwm/ mobile odin and update newr rom with it.

[Q] Downgrading to rootable ROM in order to install custom ROM?

Hi all,
Seems like ICS will be delayed and instead of waiting for it, I've decided to install custom ROM. But before doing so, I would like a few comments from XDA SIFUs...
1.Am currently on:
Baseband ver: N7000DXKL2
Kernel ver: 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLA1
Does that means I'm now on LA1 ROM?
2.If so, i understood that it's not directly rootable, thus needed to be downgraded. Referring to Dr Ketan's information, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, i would like to downgrade to:
N7000DXKL3 ------ -------2011 December-------- N7000OLBKL2
Will that be...KL3 or KL2?
3.Once downgraded using Odin, will it increase the flash counter?
4.After downgraded, can I just use Zergrush exploit method to root my phone?
5.Which custom ROM is recommended?
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
SiLvErBoLd17

2.You have showned is KL3, but i recommend this to downgrade
N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1 --------------------India
3. this stock ROM, which won't raise counter
4.yes, n if you downgrade to above said ROM (which i hav recommend), select ' I have kernel KL1' N follow procedure from thread 'How to Root..."
5.Sorry here, I never tried any custom ROM

Hi ketan,
I received my SGN yesterday and right away the phone updated itself to LB2 (India).
I felt the need to root immediately to shift my apps from my older custom romed galaxy ace to SGN.
I read up your guide and rooted through odin (PC) which rooted my kernel down to the KJ1 version. After the customary reboot everything seemed ok - it showed superuser+CWM in app list. Then the pixellated screen began appearing after the screen off. I could only come out of it by removing battery.
On searching these forums i found some posts on pixellated screen caused by certain custom kernels in SGN. I thought that may be the kernel was being incompatiable with my SGN hardware . Then i downloaded the latest stock rom (LC1 - open europe) and tried flashing the new rom using CWM - but surprisingly the CWM prompted for the CSC file only in the firmware folder.It didnt ask for code and modem files. Still i went ahead with the installation and the CWM installed the new rom with apparently no problems - still the kernel is showing KJ1 after this and again the pixxelation problem is still there.
Iam no expert but i think the kernel KJ1 is the problem
(my baseband version is XXLB2)
Present status
Android version 2.3.6
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7 - ....KJ1 -CL627135
Build number GB.XXLC1
Can i retain my root and upgrade my kernel and get rid of this pixxelation problem ?
Is there an good way to do this ?

If you need a full stock rom you must flash through odin.Flashing through CWM will keep the kernel the same so you have the problem continuing.Flash the rom using PC odin and the problem will be solved

How to root SGS GT-I9000T (2.1) ?

Model: GT-I9000T
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I9000TUBJG7
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
[email protected] #2
Build Number: ECLAIR.UBJG5
I am not sure if this has been asked before but I am tired of searching here, YouTube and Google. I want to root this model. I am not sure if the GT-I9000 rooting process will work as mine is a GT-I9000T . I would have been just fine using Samsung Kies to update Gingerbread but Kies just isn't working right and my phone isn't connecting; I swear, that thing is worse than internet explorer!
I would like the safest method to root my phone so that I can update to Jelly Bean. If I link can be provided so that I can get the right update file for my model. I heard that the only difference between the I9000 and the I9000T is that that first supports 900 MHz 3G while the latter supports 850 MHz 3G
Thanks in advance! I am close to the edge and very frustrated!

You can try superoneclick to root your phone. I was on 2.3.3 I9000M and rooted using one click tool. The tool supports many other models. Make sure USB debugging is enabled and all the drivers are installed. Connect your phone and turn on USB, choose auto under Exploit section and click root. Download the tool (Latest Version) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
If rooting process is Successful, superuser will be installed automatically in your phone.

I don't see my model on the list. I don't want to risk bricking my phone if it carries more than a 15% risk of bricking even when I follow the instructions in detail.

Either rooting will be success full or it will just not root. No harm to your phone using one click

how to root galaxy s GT-I9000 gingerbread 2.3.3 I9000JXJV6 GINGERBREAD.JPJV6

i tried to root the phone with following specification:
Galaxy S GT-I9000
Model No: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband verion: I9000JXJV6
Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9000JPJV6-CL233266 [email protected] #4
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.JPJV6
i used framaroot 1.9.3. result was unsuccessful. it will tell that root was successful but using root checker it says not. then i tried framaroot 1.5.3. i used supersu instead of superuser. this time root checker gives the answer that its successful. but no supersu app installed. i dont know whether this version install supersu app or not. but when i tried to unroot it with 1.5.3 is said success done. but root checker still shows that phone is rooted.
in this case how can i unroot it for safe side.
Then how can i root it using odin.
These are the thing my understanding:
use odin3 v.1.83 Better to install odin3 on windows XP sp2 for samsung galaxy s I9000.
csc firmware: i downloaded GT_I9000_JPJV6_JXJV6_OJPJV6_Sbl.7z
use kernal : Kernel_JPJV6.7z
but which CF-root i have to use for rooting using odin? no idea about this. nobody mentions it.
first i want to know how to unroot which i rooted using framaroot 1.5.3
then i want to know how to root using odin using CF-root?

As far as I remember Framaroot doesn't install SuperSu or any busybox app by defaut - it only provides root access. Usually you have to install a superuser app afterwards. If the root checker app says you're rooted, it's probably right.
Unrooting can be done by flashing any stock rom using Odin over the top. You won't lose your data.
CF-Root kernels are specifically built for different firmwares - therefore if you can't find one specifically for JPJV6 there isn't one. The best thing to do if you do want to root via Odin is to flash a custom kernel or flash a CF-Root supported firmware, such as XXJW4 of XXJVU before flashing CF-Root for whatever build.
Personally I'd go with the latter just to be safe - XXJW4 is a rock-solid firmware anyway.

Im facing another problm now. I tried to unroot using kinga root. After unrooting then i tried to root with kingaroot. It said successful but on reboot it says it says didnt root. Then i tried to root vth framaroot 1.5.3. this time its failed. I cannot root any more.

So which file i have to use for flashing. stock kernal or 152MB file
Are the above two files official firmware from samsung?
Please help me.
My ultimate aim is to install cyanogenmod or mackay ROM.
I understood that we should not flash latest CM from 2.3.3 to 4.4.4 because it will remove IMEI

The 152MB file is the actual rom, so you'll want to be flashing that through Odin. The stock kernel is something else (and comes with the rom so you don't really need to worry about that). Both files are official firmwares as well.

If you can't find one for your specific firmware then you may need to flash a supported firmware.

At last i did it.
let me explain what all I did.
As i told you i installed CWM 2.5.1.2 using rom manager. but it never worked.
so i downloaded CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip.
I used odin 1.83 to flash. i also downloaded the clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 officially. they recommend this. but i need to root it so i used CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip.
it rooted properly and CWM 3.0.5 was installed.
I did CWM recovery and all wipeout mentioned. then i flashed the CM10.2. damn. this time it failed again i mentioned. it then restarted automatically and restated to CMW 6 version. then it started again the loop. but here what i did was. I started pressing VOL UP + Home + POWER button. this time i got into CWM 6.. Then again I wiped. This time i flashed CM 11 latest without any issue.
So Its possible to flash from gingerbread 2.3.3 to CM 11.

@jaheshkhan Cyanogenmod normally won't erase your IMEI but Slim ROMs would.
Rom Manager app is useless for the i9000 as the recovery on this device can not be flashed separately, it is part of the kernel image
