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.

Did anyone have new ideas for rooting the T-Mobile Gingerbread?
After long time of searching the web I still found nothing relevant.

Nobody a solution for rooting phone without flashing the ROM for T-Mobile branded PV8 gingerbread?

Same problem here, still waiting .

A week ago I flashed my. T-Mobile with. 2.3
5 JVS and rooted it. Now all is running well.

Yesterday, with the help of this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050, I manage to turn my 6h eating battery brick, into a real rooted phone, thank you guys!

I also upgraded FW from 2.2 to 2.3.3 via kies last week and lost my root - but flashed this to my phone and got root back. link to where to get it:

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.

I need the data the contacts and the rest of the files because its my business phone and i don't have the acctual backup of the phone
After I've saved my data I will flash the phone to one of the newest versions.
I hope that someone can help me with this problem :S

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] Update i9000 from Stock 2.3.3 to Latest Gingerbread

Hi friends,
i was an iPhone user since 2007 but now i bought Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000, it has "Movistar" logo on its back,
i m completely noob on Android so please guide me.
when i bought my phone it was on 2.0 Eclair then i connected my phone with my laptop with data cable and Samsung Kies.
After connecting:
Samsung KIES showed me Gingerbread Updates
So First KIES updated my phone to 2.2 Froyo
And then it updated it to 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
"""i have read many posts here and as far as i know i think i m on Stock firmware and i updated my phone using Official updates from Samsung KIES and one more thing i want to clear here is before updating my phone my SIM CARD was working perfect no issues and after updating my phone still my SIM CARD is working absolutely fine so i think my phone is fully Unlocked (Please Clarify if i m wrong)"""
So after that long time has been passed i am waiting for Official updates for my phone of Gingerbread 2.3.4 or above but did not find any.
i used 2.3.4 on my friend's phone it works much smoother and faster than 2.3.3 thats why i want to upgrade it unofficially because i cant update it officially.
Can you Please tell me the procedure to update my phone to the latest Gingerbread Stock version unofficially?
Here is what written in "About Phone"
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9000BGJV1
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000BGJV5-CL307695 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BGJV5

I updated my sgs to 2.3.4 JVR which works great for me, and I used a guide on the website androidsoul.com to go step by step how to do it with odin, and if you search around a little there are plenty if guides here on xda as well
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Which firmware should i go for there are so many
XXJVP = 2.3.4
XXJVR = 2.3.4
XXJVS = 2.3.5
and many more
And what is the difference between firmware with boot loader and firmware without boot loader ?
Sorry for so many questions i m new to Android.

you should go for XXJVS, or for XXJVT, i use a JVT ROM, and its pretty cool.
well, you always have a boot-loader... BUT, you should not flash a boot-loader, because that is one of the rare ways to really "brick" your phone.
the things you need, are odin, the .tar files you want to flash (you should find jvt or jvs here to download, as well as odin)
and just google for flash guide odin, or sth like that, after a few minutes you wil know what to do.
read carefully! and if some points aren't clear for you, don't bother asking.
(The reason why we don't write a full "how-to" is, because it is really done quite often and should not be hard to find)

I have flashed XXJVS Successfully and its working faster and stable than 2.3.3 its amazing. Thank you All for your Support

[Q] running 2.1 want gingerbread 2.3.3 for ATT phone

Hi,
I have an AT&T captivate android galaxy S smart phone. I was running 2.2 root. Today I am trying to put gingerbread 2.3.3 on and ran into problems, don't think I have the right files!
I now have 2.1 on the phone.
Model number
I897
Firmware
2.1-update 1
Baseband version
I897UCKF6
Kernel
2.6.29
Build
ECLAIR
build number under phone
10.06
Can you tell me how to get gingerbread 2.3.3 on my phone with instructions?
I do have Odin Oneclick Flasher, and Odin Oneclick Downloader.
The reason I don't use Kies mini and get the AT&T updated gingerbread 2.3.5 is because I did that with my husbands phone (same phone as mine) and we were NOT able to root it. I have read most everything around here and it seems that there are no possibilities to root GB 2.3.5 but I find things that say we can root GB 2.3.3.
Using SuperOneClick didn't work for GB 2.3.5 it was hanging on waiting for device I followed instructions I found on here about that and it didn't work.
Please can you give me a link to a GB 2.3.3 file that I can put into Odin Oneclick?
Thanks
gramme

You didn't read almost everything...rooting 2.3.5 is the same as any gingerbread...
You'll have to use the fugu kernel swap method.
Flash fugu kennel with Odin, that will boot loop.
Use button combos to boot back into download mode and flash a compatible kernel (kk4 most likely) once that's booted you'll be rooted.

Is there a way to update a Samsung captivate to 2.3 without a USB connection because my USB port on my phone doesn't work. Please help me and I charge my phone using a battery charger.

Nope...you need to flash bootloaders which can only be done in download mode, using a usb. sorry.
I think mobiletechvideos.com has replacement Ports

Lg Thrill 4G Root 2.3.5

I tried and tried to find a way to root my Lg Thrill 4G. I tried all of the options on the thread "Thrill 4G SuperOneClick 2.2 (EASY ROOT)", but I was still unable to root my phone. Here are the specs for my phone and the steps I took to successfully root my device:
Model Number: LG-P925
Android Version: 2.3.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7+
Build Number: GRJ90
Software Version: LGP925-V20p-FEB-22-2012
I found a forum with a windows command (CMD) program that rooted my phone. I can't post the link because I am still a junior member here.I found the link on theunlockr. I have attempted to attach the file below.
All credit goes to VulnFactory. All I did was find this. I take no credit or responsibility for the program. AS I HOPE EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS, ROOTING YOUR PHONE VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY, AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ROOT. NEITHER I NOR VulnFactory ARE LIABLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE AFTER USING THIS PROGRAM.
I made sure I had the current LG drivers installed, disabled the LG Modem device in the Windows Device Manager, Enabled USB Debugging in my phone, and ran the program with my phone powered on and connected to my laptop. The program did the rest (and it did take a while).
I now have SuperUser permissions and am able to install apps such as SetCPU and Titanium Backup.
I hope this helps someone like me out there who had no idea how to overcome problems with superoneclick for the LG Thrill. I tried superoneclick 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, and 2.3.3 and had no sucess. I kept getting stuck at step 7 of the shell root process. This worked for me and I hope it works for you too.

Follow the tutorial on a rom, what you want to install... I think you will have to root your device, then go to JVU Stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread rom, then you free to install any CM9 or CM10

First xou have to root your device, then you have to install the cwm recovery, download the Rom and the gapps from a thread. Next you have to do a backup if you want to go back to 2.1. And after this you have to do a full wipe from recovery and then install the Rom and afterwards the gapps and then reboot.
Hope i helped

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.

Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I9000TUBJG7
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
[email protected] #2
Build Number: ECLAIR.UBJG5
did you figure anything out? I found the firmware (2.3.3) for my model and country (Trinidad and Tobago) at samsung updates but my problem is that I don't know which Odin program to use for my model.
I was thinking about using the update method intended for the GT-I9000 to update my I9000T to gingerbread. Apparently the phones are identical except that the GT-I9000T supports 850 MHz 3G while the GT-I9000 supports 900 MHZ 3G instead. I am wondering if it will work without bricking my phone
