Rooting a branded phone

Hey everyone. I am very interested in rooting, and hopefully flashing once i have done the basic root first. Please can you answer each question I have an Orange branded SGS GT-i9000. Here are the specs:
FW Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9000BVJV3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000BVJVC-CL679241 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
Question 1: do i need to know the whole of the kernel or just part of it?
Question 2: I always see rooting guides saying 'How to root (FW version) JV(something). Where does the JV come from, as i have 2 types of JV, JV3 and JVC. So what does rooting depend on other than firmware version?
Question 3: I have noticed the Orange firmware is a different JV. So how do i know the root will work with my version as the root guides are always on stock roms?
Thanks in advance : )

Hello Tarnwilliamson, I think I am in the same boat as you, I also am on Orange with the same spec phone as you wanting to root. I was just wondering have you found out anything about rooting this phone? I have searched dev and q & a section but there seems to be no posts on this topic. I dont want to start a new thread so I though I would ask you first. Thank u in advance.

hello
You may try with Super one click root or try to flash your rom with odin to STOCK ROM (i have I9000xxjvu for example) and use CFROOT for your rom with PDA in odin. That gives u the root accsess, superuser and busybox ( CFroot IS A KERNEL) it is many subject on XDA.

Hello Marcinrek21, Thank you for your reply. As my Build number ends with jvc isnt there a specific file I need to flash with if using Odin? Or am I mistaken and I can flash with any cf root file as long as it is for a gt19000? As for super one click is that still compatibable with 2.3.5 as I remember reading somewhere the bootloader may be locked with gingerbread? Thank you in advance.

[Q] Root GT-N7000 with JP LA1 kernel - Help please...

I am beginner in Android + root.
I was using G-Note (GT-N7000) with kernel JPKK2. And I have been rooted with the help of Unlock Root. But, recently I got a new update JPLA1 and I lost my root access. I tried the same Unlock Root utility and zergRush, unfortunately no luck.
So anyone can explain how to root again my G-Note with step by step instruction as I am beginner

You are not able to get root on KL7/KL8/LA1 or newer. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
If you want to gain root you have to reflash an older stock rom via odin.
See post 2 and 3 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
It's very well explained and works great! Just follow every step.

So which is the latest Rom that you will recommend for me. I prefer Rom for Middle east or India. Advise please...

That depends on your location.
Try using the latest rootable firmware of your country.

Thanks for your prompt replay. you help me lot.
One more stupid query; for example If I choose Indian ROM that will support almost Indian languages, right? and that Indian ROM will support even middle east GSM carrier?
Advise please...

I would say "Yes" and "Yes".
So I think you're indian and for sure you have to use the indian firmware.
I don't know about any issues relating to the GSM carrier.

I update Indian ROM from Dr.ketan's link. And working fine now. And I root again. Many thanks.
And hope I will get the updates from this series Rom, even if am outside the India. Right?

Which stock ROM to use?

Hi guys,
So this is my first android phone. I bought it in Shanghai, so it comes with bunch of chinese crapware preinstalled which is really annoying.
After doing some research, it appears that the only way for me to get rid of that is to root the phone (which I've never done before).
I have two goals in mind:
1) being able to delete all the crapware that came preinstalled with the phone
2) being able to install "market enabler" so that I can download "real" apps
I have downloaded Dr. Ketan's guide on how to root the SGN.
My phone's info:
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.ZSLA2
Baseband version: N7000XXLA4
So, from the guide it appears that I dont have a direct rootable ROM, and I need to flash (is that what its called?) it with Odin.
Now, I have downloaded the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" file. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am guessing that this file is the "rooted factory ROM"...
However, later I came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 with bunch of [stock ROMs].
My goal is to have "normal/factory/oem/stock/whatever you call it" ROM, with SuperUser access aka root.
So, the question is - should I stick with the guide and use "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" ROM or should I flash it with one of the ROMs from the [stock roms] thread?
Cheers!

You can do either
KJ1_factoryfs if pre rooted ROM, you won't need to root it after downgrading
While if you downgrade any rootable ROM from stock ROM thread you have mentioned, you have to root it.

BTW,
do I need to install CWM? I am not planning on installing other ROMs or anything like that... just want to wait for the official release of ICS, that's all.

Not compulsory.
You can also purchase mobile odin pro, if you want to update rom to latest version.
Or u can use as it is. But kj1 or any older rom are not tuned as newer one, may experience battery drainage, leg etc, but if u r satisfied, thn you can keep it till ics.

[Q] Root for DXAMA2 Firmware I8190

Hello, Im just new in this forum. Just wanted to ask if there is any rooted firmware released or process on how to root DXAMA2 firmware? I found a thread here asking if Benz ROM is compatible with DXAMA2 firmware butI didn't try it yet and I think I will just wait for the "official" rooted firmware for DXAMA2.
Please update this thread if the rooted firmware is available already. Thanks so much!

dxama2
it can be rooted by a tutorial here on xda forum for s3 mini. it can be by flashing CWM by the use of odin, then flash Root.zip on CWM.

Does it not affect the CSC?

not sure.. but i can say yes on my experience ^_^

[Q] Trying to root I9305 build nr JZO54K BME3

Hi there,
I was attempting to root and flash my I9305 with the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit V7.0
My build nr is JZO54K.I9305XXBME3 (T-Mobile, Germany) but it seems this exact build is not listed!
Does anyone have any experiences in rooting this exact build? This is my first attempt to root a phone and I really don't want to mess up
It would be great to get some help on this!

you cannt find answer for everything here.
In my opinion,be careful enough and then just do it,that's what is called developer.
Always backup first~

Suggest you take your time and read the faqs and guides first .

any update happened??? i mean did u update to andriod kitkat?

You need to flash a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod or TWRP and then you can try to flash SuperSU zip file (Google allows you to find everything).
