You could use the gingerbreak app by chainfire to root your phone (only works on gingerbread) :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 everything is in the 2nd post
I don't know the newest cwm for the i9000 because i'm using a i9001

[Q] How To for the Galaxy Note GT-N7000

Hello,
I am new to the XDAdevelopers forum and don't have much knowledge of rooting or installing customs roms to Android phones.
I currently own the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 and just looking around some videos I would love to have some customs rom installed on my phone, such as the new Jelly Bean roms that are out now.
I would love to know on how to root my Galaxy Note if there is a Noob Tutorial for rooting the galaxy note and maybe a Noob Tutorial on how to install Jelly Bean rom that is currently out (any suggestion on which rom would be great)
As I said I am a noob and don't have much knowledge on how to mod your android phones and any help would be greatly appreciated
FYI: Looked around the forums for the while, I couldn't find anything simple enough, I bet there is somewhere in the forum, not sure if I was looking correctly >.<

There is a free version for people who cannot buy from market, look here or you can also use k-tools for flashing kernel its free on market, extract the kernel to zimage and put on root of internal SD and then flash it using k-tools.

As long as you are on any safe kernel you can flash any JB rom, no matter if you are on any TW ICS, GB or CM9/10 roms. I am on CM10 right now and flashed it directly on stock LRQ ICS with Speedmod kernel.

[Q] Files for CWM ect.

I posted here because the "General" forum isn't that visited.
I tried finding the files needed to Install CWM for my Samsung Galaxy S gt i9000 2.2 Froyo,
but the files needed to put in Odin are missing or have been deleted from the web-hosting services.
Can anyone provide me with the needed links and a detailed guide on how to do it?
Many thanks in advance, jvukosav.
If you'll settle for 2.3.6 or want to go to ICS 4.0.4 (CM9), here is a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546&highlight=jw4
If you want CM10 (4.1.2) after you have CM9 it's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778526
First you should backup EFS, verify download mode, recovery mode, just to be prepared for possible hiccups.

wow yeah you are digging for some really old files. You can try the speedmod kernel for Froyo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=speedmod
Though it probably has more feature than what you are looking for. Beware of the lagfix though. I don't think universal lag fix is automatically activated, but just to be sure check the settings in recovery mode.
The chainfire kernel download links are still active, and I think they might be closer in nature to what you want (a stock kernel with CWM features)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
I have never used chainfire kernels, but they are meant to be the base of most other custom kernel before cyanogenmod was ported over to I9000.

You can download the firmwares via sammobile or via Samsung kies

Then if you want the latest version straight from Samsung (4.1.2) flash this through CWM:

Autoroot with stock recovery and mobile odin works best for me. I'm a noob too. Have flashed perseus kernal and pandoriams latest 4.1.2 and works great

[Q] Root galaxy s I9000

Hey
Need to root my galaxy s but dont know how!
I was trying to download superoneclick but everytime i download it the download never finishes or is corrupt
Model Number:GT-I9000
Firmware Version:2.1-update1
Baseband Version:I9000XXJM1
Kernel Version:[email protected] #2
Build Number:ECLAIR.I9000XXJM1
Is there any tutorial out there for rooting the galaxy s?
Cheers
Hey,
Rooting can seem like a hard thing, and don't worry, the first time I had trouble as well :L
Have you tried z4root? Its a neat little apk that supposedly roots any phone on 2.1. Thing is though I don't know whether it works for XXJM1 or not.
Alternatively what you can do is upgrade to Gingerbread and root. And I think that'd be the best thing to do.
1.) Upgrade to XXJW4 (2.3.6) by means of Odin. If you don't know what I mean, feel free to ask.
2.) Search around these forums for a thread about CF-Root. Read Chainfire's instructions carefully and select the right file- if you don't know which one I'll find it for you. The file should have JW4 in it though, so that hopefully is easy enough to find...
3.) Unzip the file. In it you'll find a .tar file. Using Odin again flash this .tar file in. Again, if you need help, feel free to ask
And there you go! Rooted, on 2.3.6.
I'm not quite sure how to root the I9000 on Eclair, so that's the only advice I can give....
Hope I helped though

Hey,
Are you talking about which 4.1+ rom you should use?
Quite obviously there's CM10 and CM10.1. Take your pick of 4.1.2 vs. 4.2.1.
Well many people recommend Slim Bean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780071 because its very small (only 60MB or something like that), very fast and stable.
Apparently Mackay Rom is really good as well.
If you want the feel of Touchwiz and the SIII, C-Rom Bean and C-Rom Bean Mix are available in 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 for each. Again, your pick. A lot of people report this to be very stable as well.
There's tons more roms for the lovely I9000 so you'll have to do some searching around for one that you'll like. But those seem to be the top Jelly Bean roms around...

Ok, many thanx for the info
Going to do the C-RoM Mix 4.2.1 v2.zip 186808KB that came out today
Found the installation guide on androidauthority.com, guess that guide will be here on this forum somewhere but i just googled and came out there
How long does it takes for flashing is ready, used C-RoM Mix 4.2.1 V2, screen is showing for 20 minutes logo "Semaphore" , is that normal ...
edit: my pc reconizes the phone as Android ....
edit 2: did flash c-rom mix again and BINGO, works
got no imei anymore, messed around with different ways to get it back, it's all gone, no back up nothing, just a working phone but cant call
what to do ....
:victory: :laugh: yessss, rooted back to 2.3.6 and its all working again -> thanks for [HowTo] Officiele XWJW5 (2.3.6) via Odin (NL/BE) from GirlKillu from androidworld
now I wil flash it to latest slim bean version, this time I will make it 100% sure to back up efs folder

Thanks ThaiDai I did think that, but;
- titanium backup; cannot acquire root privileges....
- busybox; problem opening shelllnwith root
- root checker; device does not have proper root access
- lucky patcher; no root access found
I feel that the problem is supersu as it cannot update SU binary and gives me a message "Installation Failed". It's the one that came with Ultimate Jellybean...
Any other suggestions to fix this issue will be appreciated....
Thanks
I messed up my leaked 4.1.1 JB on my note. Su was not updating binary but I had root, did a little research here and there and thought might be a good idea to install a fresh copy of Super SU from Google App, I went into SuperSu settings and chose clean up for fresh install from App store, SuperSu closed itself and I downloaded and installed fresh copy from Google apps. Bam, SuperSu say "No binary found and SuperSu can not install it". Titanium backup and root checker said no root. Tried to find a method but failed find one (may be I was not looking for a solution too hard.). Although I had CWMR.
Then decided to go back to ICS, Downloaded a fresh copy of ICS 4.0.3 and flashed using PC Odin, when everything was working fine I rooted ICS with Philz and then keis upgraded it to 4.0.4 and I lost root again . But same kernel.zip worked again and my Note was rooted again within few sec. Next day I found Super Nexus for Galaxy Note version 5. Downloaded it and flashed it along with 1 extra zip from same thread. I lost Philz CWMR but have root access. And ROM is working wonders. Good nice smooth and battery life is even better than ICS I think it is due to that Blob.zip I flashed as was advised in that thread.
So, if you can not find a safe method to root JB then go back to ICS and try again. or just try little harder.

Thanks but that still doesn't help explain why supersu is not giving root access. What about installing a different kernel like Hydracore V.7?

Dont flash any hydracore kernels on JB leaks, hydracore is for ICS roms
I have few times on different roms, the same problem with root like you, but usualy i just installed solid explorer (when it is installed, jump to root directory) it will prompt you that you dont have installed busybox. So install that busybox from market. Open it choose install again. And after that reboot your phone.
I dont realy know what caused this, but i do not care, because installing solid explorer is one of the steps after flashing new rom :silly:
