[Q] Cannot obtain root access??

Just got a replacement for my VZW GT tried to root via Z4 but it won't apply root. Then I tried to do it through the comp via super one click but I'm home for the week at my parents house and their PC won't find the drivers to mount the GT... Has anyone elsr had this issue?? Also, if I go straight to download mode can I flash a rooted rom and get root that way??
TIA

For the drivers, did you install kies ?

I tried to but I couldn't find the download link so I used the driver package that comes with super one click... if someone could point me kies that'd be great!! I looked on samsungs site but now all I could find was the manual for the GT. The live chat guy told me I couldnt download kies soooooo I moved on...

Go to galaxy tab android development (here on xda of course) and download,from Overcome thread, the manual, read it and you will find a link inside for jmk stock safe, download it and you will find the drivers, odin and also the stock rom.

Just google it, just put "samsung kies donwload". It should be on the first link.

Thanks found it and downloaded. Now its telling me to put my tab into kies pc mode? I've tried download mode, normal boot mode both with the sdcard mounted and not mounted, and finally the manual mode, what would be recovery mode if I were rooted. Its never been this difficult?? This is my third GT and I've never had to go through all of this to root and flash... what's changed in 3 months!?
Thanks again for everyone's help!!

goto: settings>applications>development>usb debug mode
first, set to usb debug mode on your tab, and connect to pc while kies is open.
Let windows install drivers.
Once installation is over, safely remove your phone from pc and unplug usb cable.
Then, switch off debug mode from the same options above. After that,
go to settings>wireless and network>usb settings
tick either samsung kies OR ask on connection.
connect to kies again.
This will ensure that all drivers are installed.
Pls hit tnx if I helped.

Put your tab in debug mode an connect it to the pc and lauch superoneclick to root.

aibo, first thing i tried was debug mode and plug it in...
as for Sef_P1000's directions... i tried that and it definitely installed the drivers, however i dont have a pc mode/kies mode only have mass storage and media player, but neither work for anything in kies...

Retrieving data from phone memory of a screen-broken handset

Hi,
I should update my question:
Is it possible to access a Galaxy S i9000's internal sd (e.g. with ADB or an Android manager) without debugging enabled?
My screen is broken (can't see anything, not responding to touch I think, I can hear texts coming through but can't access them) and debugging is disabled but I need to get the data out.
'
Apparently ADB works straight up if the phone is in recovery mode. I've tried a lot of "blind" recovery mode attempts, but no go. ADB still doesn't recognise the device.
Other users have had this problem but they either a) had debugging enabled, or b) their touch works or can see a portion of the screen. Mine is neither.

adb?

Tried adb using Droidzone's tutorial, but I can't enable usb debugging on my phone cause the screen is completely out of action.
It doesn't explicitly state this in the tutorial, but I gather debugging has to be on for adb to work, no?

is my handset a paperweight?

Sure not,acces the recovery(everything with blind mode on and mount your sd card and internal sd card. It can be done,recovery doesnt need any touch to work. I cant give you direct instructions right now but maybe some others can help you with those clicky things. What recovery you got?

Man, I'm not sure what recovery I got. I flashed Darky ROM into my phone a while ago so I believe I have CWM. When I say blind I just mean trying to get into recovery without looking at the screen. It doesn't help that for my handset, some people say volume up and others say volume down. It's a big pain. I've done it before but I can't remember the key combo.
The only other thing I'm not sure about is the environment variable for ADB. I got it as PATH under User Variables and as Path under System Variables just to make sure. I think that's right.

Getting 'error: device not found' on that one buddy.
Added the environment variable > Plugged the phone in (turned on) > started AndroPlatina > 5. Recovery Tools > 4. Reboot to Recovery > device not found
Will keep at it.

Ok if any methods above didnt work the blind recovery may be the last one. I just need the version of your recovery or just a version of darky rom so i can check the CWM. Trust me it can work sorry for my bad english im from east europe.
The COMBO for recovery is vol UP+home+power for a few seconds(maybe 3 or 4)

I believe it's Darky ROM 10.4.2

Need more info. Do you have stock recovery? CWM? TWRP?
What version of android? Gingerbread? ICS?

CWM
Gingerbread

If recovery mode auto-enables debugging then theoretically I should be able to view everything on my phone (texts, contacts, data etc) with an Android manager cause all an Android manager requires is that the phone be in debugging mode.

CWM has adb enabled. Try using Nexus S drivers straight from Google. Have you got a plan for how to extract the data once you adb in? Data isn't mounted in recovery by default. You can use the mount command, if you need details I'll add them in another post.

adb pull
What will the Nexus S drivers do?
So as long as adb isn't finding my device, I can rightly assume that I'm simply not in recovery mode. Maybe I am in recovery mode and something else is at fault, like with the adb installation. Could the environment variables be causing anything?

The ideal outcome would be to turn debugging on with adb so I can view the phone's contents using an Android manager. That way, I can get out the data, as well as read the texts that have been coming through. Don't know if this is possible though.

This is still the best I can get. I'm sick of seeing it.

Update: adb works fine on my GS3 in recovery mode (with debugging turned off in settings) but not on my GS for some reason.

Check device manager on the computer. Is your phone showing up there at all? What about if you reboot into download mode?

^ Not showing up in device manager (GS3 shows up fine). Download mode same thing - I can attempt it blind but since I can't see the screen I don't know if I'm download mode - regardless, still nothing in device manager or adb.
I can manage to boot it up (I hear the intro). I can also hear the usb sound on my pc when I plug it in. But then I have to do 2 things with no screen a) do my security pattern, and b) tap 'mass storage mode'. Sounds easy but I've tried it many times and can't nail it.

Problen with Odin. First time root.

I've tried everything, I just can't get odin to recognize my phone. I use a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 and the odin version is Odin3 v3.07, although I have tried using an older version of odin.
My phone gets detected normally (when not in download mode), and even in download mode the computer does make the sound indicating that it is connected.
This time, I opened odin without putting my phone in download mode and it showed a blue box, indicating that it detected my device, however I think being in download mode is a necessity for rooting. Help me out!
Oh and if its important, I use windows 8, I don't have samsung kies installed, I have the stock USB cable and I have tried it out without another cable.
AH! The shame! My first post and there is a typo in the title! T-T

Hey,
Have you tried manually installing the drivers using this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
The Samsung USB drivers (which lets the computer properly recognise the phone) apparently don't play too nicely with Windows 8.
Try install that and see if Odin recognises your phone

just flash this in stock recovery you only need odin for custom recovery

Maybe Kies runs in the background? It usually blocks any attempt to use Odin. If so, kill Kies process in your PC (by task manager)

Get SD card, put it into Your PC. Download to PC and copy other kernel zip file to it. Put SD card into SGS. Flash new kernel via recovery. Reboot and should work.
