[Q] Where to start? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA,
I have a SGS I9000. I want to root it and I've been searching all day for a guide that isn't a one click root.
But I have a few questions about what everyone is talking about when they say JP2, JP3, etc.
Also, I'm running Froyo 2.2 and there doesn't seem to be much for it. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
if there is information about the phone that can help find where to go, just ask.
Thanks XDA.

You should 1st flash to 2.3 using odin (https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...i9000-flashing-to-original-rom-using-odin.46/), then root (https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-i9000-rooting-gt-i9000-2-3-3-india-ddjv9.47/) and then you can proceed installation with ICS (https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...dwich-4-0-4-on-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000.125/) or JB (https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/installing-jelly-bean-4-1-on-galaxy-s-gt-i9000.131/)

I didn't think it was that complicated.
In that case, could you suggest a oneclick application?

[Q] root captivate running 2.2 HELP ME PLEASE

Ok i just downloaded 2.2 for captivate and it works great i tried to use one click lag fix to root my phone but it didnt work. I have looked on youtube google and everywhere else and havent been able to fine how to root my captivate on 2.2.
Please help
im going to need step by step
if yall fine a video that would be great please help
I have to ask, because it really is in front of your eyes... what the heck did you search for?
When I searched for Captivate JI6 2.2 root I got this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797397
Which is exactly what I knew I would get. Try searching a little harder and using the correct terms. I promise you that you'll find your answer. Good luck with your rooting!

I did but I didn't understand it and I have the leaked 2.2 for captivate and some tell me how to root in a easier easy so I can understand
That is your easiest method on the leak 2. 2. Start reading, this will be a good learning experience. I would suggest searching odin and flashing back to stock Rom. then flash a 2. 2 Rom that is already rooted like cognition.
Either way do not do anymore unless you have read enough to understand where you will end up

I also have to ask... Did you read the thread? The top of the FIRST post has a link to a ONE-CLICK-ROOT. (this is a link, you click on this with your mouse.)
It does not get any easier then that.
I have Rooted 2.2 I used super one click I believe its called. Try googleing that.

[Q] Upgrading GB 2.3.5 to 2.3.6

I want to install a custom rom for my SGS GT-I9000 and just to be ready, in case a bootloop occurs, I want to download a stock firmware to reset my phone and I'm thinking should I download 2.3.5 or 2.3.6?
I'm running XXJVS baseband. Can I use any other stock firmwares as long as its in the designated country? I check the firmware of my phone and its in Europe. So, can I?
I'm a noob. Sorry for having small knowledge about this.
Please help. Thank you.

@denzel24 DON'T DO THAT!!!! @Audi22 has sent you link for the i9001!!!!!
If you do that, you will turn your phone into the electronical waste and Audi22 won't replace it for you! He is just a novice like you.
You can download any stock ROM for i9000 from sammobile.com
Better check sticky threads before you earn dangerous answers.

LOL, good! I'm glad you didn't do it.
I didn't get mad on you but on the other guy. I've spent on XDA forum so much time trying to help people in need or to prevent unbricking and then I see such careless posts around.
Good luck and fun with your new ROM

[Q] Root for i9000: Help please?

Hello there,
I have a Galaxy S i9000 with 2.3.3.
I have no idea how to root my device. I've been looking at the tutorials and pinned threads for a long time but didn't understand a thing.
I want to flash a stock ROM or CyanogenMod, because my performance now is terrible.
Can somebody please help me or give me a clear tutorial?
Thanks!

Thank you very much!
I used the second guide, and except for a little problem I had with the kernel choice (SpeedMod didn't work so I used CF-Root), and now I have CM 10.2 running perfectly. Thanks!
