Hi at all,i have found two walkthrought for rooting my phone. One use cf-root and one cf-autoroot. Someone can tell me the difference?and what's the best?
It's in the first post of probably where you found the walkthrough...

Anyway, autoroot is more for people like me who don't want to mess around with flashing custom ROMs. So, it gives you root access to install root apps, but keep the stock ROM that came with phone.

i think that i will change my rom with some custom after a while,but fir the firsts times i want continue to use the stock rom. So i must use cf-root?
I believe you can still install CWM to flash ROM after using Autoroot. But if you plan to flash ROMs might as well go for CF root instead.
thanks

hey guys! its been awhile since i been here my Brother wants his Galaxy S rooted and flashed to a different firmware!
i searched around but cant really find any info on the i9000m model. Hes running 2.2 i9000UGKC1 ( i believe that is the newest update)?
so what are my first steps to gain root? then flash? maybe a point to a root tutorial then a post to a flash tutorial for the i9000M would be handy, i just cant seem to find them haha, been so long since i was here. So can anyone give me the down low on how the mods are going and things needed to get root and flash?
thanks guys
Bump! any one here? im reading that root is possible for the i9000m but flashing might not be? im confused.... is it still odin used to flash and unlock the bootloader to flash new roms?
i've got an i9000m and rooted with SuperOneClick, then once rooted flashed speedmod kernel with Odin. No problemo.
Just make sure before you do anything that you can access Download mode and Recovery Mode via the '3-button' method ie. turn off then hold power/home/vol down (or up) respectively.
been busy since so haven't yet tried a custom rom, but yes, you can root and flash an i9000m!

haha from the days i had my galaxy s i remember the SuperOneClick was downlaodable from the market?? buti cant find it anymore!!! where is it???
and which guide are you talking about to flash custom roms? there seems to be alot...for i9000m
so im reading that i can root with superoneclick
then afterwards i can flash CWM Recovery with Rom Manager? and start flashing roms right? without ODIN?
thats how i used to do it on a htc phone, does it work same with i9000m?

Bump anyone inform me as if this is correct? with the i9000UGKC1 firmware?
Bump, want my information verified, dont want to screw up my brothers phone haha
hey sorry i haven't checked in in awhile either - don't know if it still helps but i rooted with KC1 2.2. then flashed speedmod kernel (only realised afterwards could have just flashed the kernel and used it to root - rooted initially with superoneclick).
been super busy but now have a bit more time to look at more developments - just basic stuff like going to GB, maybe a new kernel and start looking at other ROMs again.
I know ive asked a few questions and ive searched a bit, but im coming from an htc phone, so everything is completely different, so id like to know, coming from a practically brand new phone, running a pre installed gingerbread, how do i root it, and put CWM on it? I would like to install custom roms, and im used to doing it through recovery and rom manager doesnt do it for the captivate from what i saw...so just a little help would be nice. And yes, again, i have searched, but i just find my self getting lost...i have odin, i have a captivate...the rest is a blur
No need to root to ROM it. Use Odin to flash a custom kernel that has cwm baked into it (all custom kernels do) then button combo into recovery and flash a ROM. The ROM will be rooted after the flash.
And completely forget ROM manager exists...it sucks on Samsung phones.

idk, it confused me a little
OK, this is my second post on XDA, but I'm finding it a little more difficult to get to grips with the Note and its workings, coming from my HTC Desire.
I'm currently on Kernel version KKA, and have read Dr. Ketan's guide about how to root your device, which seems very straightforward. My phone is prompting me to download a new firmware, which I assume would make it more difficult to root, as it would have a newer kernel than the one I currently run, so I have held off for now.
My question is, if I root and want to apply the firmware update, I assume I can do this manually, and would obviously prefer to maintain root, rather than downloading over the air, which would remove my root. From what I've read, I assume I could do this with Mobile Odin Pro, but could I also apply a pre-rooted version of the new firmware, and if so, which is the firmware I should use?
Like many of you, I am waiting for the official ICS upgrade before I mess around too much with my device. Thanks for any advice you could give.

why would you wanna search for pre-rooted rom when u can keep rooted in all stock rom with just few easy steps???? Its very easy with CWM !
Yes exactly agree to priyanv
You have kka rootable ROM, just root n get cwm.
Then you can update any ROM, either with mobile odin or cwm
Just want to advise somthing, but b4 that just decide, which rom you want to update after rooting.

Your friend was partly wrong. You can flash a pre rooted stock firmware, flash custom recovery and root your exisiting firmware, or flash custom recovery and then a custom rom to get root.
What's best for me might not be the best for you.
Don't mess with your phone without knowing what your doing or why your doing it, and everything will be fine.
What's your needs? Why you wanna root? Do you want to still be able to update fw from kies or OTA? Do you care about warranty?
I suggest you read some more before you do, about custom recovery, root, system status, csc, custom binary count. Use the search function.:good:
About custom roms there aren't that many but I think they're all stable.(Havn't tested all) It's more about what you need.

Link2Sd only , do you have any recommend apps for me?
I keep keep switching between roms and having the stock rom seems to be the mid point. So was wondering if there is a way to flash stock rom (latest) and root it. Like in samsung i use to flash the stock rom via Mobile odin and that app had the ability to root while flashing..do we have any similar way to do it?

No. ..and do not even bother your self to ask more question about it, there is no way around, the only way is the one which you already know, like in my signature.
keep a backup on your sdcard and just restore it, no need to flash stock, downgrade, install recovery, install pre rooted rom.
Once you have root and recovery, just restore backups....
