[Q] Rooting the S I9000 I need advice! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right guys
I am getting fed up on trying to root this phone using ODIN and the various CF-ROOTS but every time I do it some of them will just not flash some do flash but then the mobile does the reboot loop!
My mobile details are :
FIRMWARE - 2.3.3
BASEBAND - I9000BWJV2
KERNEL VERSION - [email protected] #2
BUILD NUMBER - GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
I honestly have tried lots of CF-ROOTS using the ODIN process but they just don't seem to work.
If somebody could just point me to the CF i need and the files i would appreciate it so much, it's getting really annoying now
Thanks all appreciate it :victory:

I appreciate you replying, but I would prefer if you could link to me directly in what I need as I have been searching for ages month's now and keep coming back with nothing or the CF'S do not work they come up as an error on ODIN and then i have to reflash my stock rom to get my mobile working again.
with my details above about my phone what CF-ROOT will work?
Thanks

lets me ask u couple of question
1)u familiar with odin?
2)which pit file u used?
3)tell me in detail what method u use
4)what region are u?
5)do u need to unlock ur sim or phone?
6)what exact are u wanna upgrade?
7)can ur fone go to download mode?
8)is there any code,like can t mount e:/blablabla when u bootloop?
9)do u know what ur firmware region by confirming build number?
sorry if my question sound stupid but u need to answer that first
thats for now.i presume u can answer it all

i have a computer sir.
but im really new at flashing roms.
they say that it's automatic if your usings Odin mobile and you can just choose rom and let the app find what your other needs.
i know they are a lot of guides out there
and thats the problem,im quite confused of all of the guides.
if you can guide me to a rom and easy to follow guide it would be much appreciated..
hi i have not used mobile odin (it needs root by the way), but here's a guide to start for odin in pc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

[Q] Kies claims my phone unable to update firmware.

Hello everyone.
Allow me to start by saying that i did tried to find the answer by searching the forums/ google but couldnt figure out most of what i stumbled upon,
So if this issue has been resolved in the past please recive my apolgies, i do not wish to bother anyone but i feel total lost, i saved each penny i could for this phone for a long time and im really scared to screw it up.
Now to my problem:
I own a galaxy note n7000. Never been rooted or something like that.. He stays exacly as i got him from the store.
The thing is im pretty sure (from what ive read) that i should get the ics 4.0.4 update, but when i was searching for updates in my phone
I found none. I tried updating from Kies but found out that my phone "does not support software update via Kies".
What i do know (or so i think...):
There could be some problem with my CSC? It dose not much my phone version or something like that?
What i think you need in order to help me:
Model number: gt-n7000
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: n7000XXLPT
Kernel version: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
Build number: IML74K.XXLPY
(I have no idea what my CSC or where to find it)
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

1. Download pc odin at xda. ( use search button). And install on your pc.
2. Go sammobile.com and download ur desire ics 4.0.4 stock rom.
3. After downloaded stock firmware, place on ur pc and unzip it.
4. Launch pc odin , turn off ur devices, boot into download mode. And connect usb cable in between your devices and pc.

Good luck.

Hi lee yun khong, thanks for your reply!
I saw dr.ketan guide but didnt fully understoond what i should do pre-installing the rom.
can i just install the new rom "over" the current rom and it will work? I dont have to do anything else?
Thanks.
no just download the rom u want ... put the phone in download mode and connect it to pc.. open PC odin and select the .tar.md5 file in the pda tab and flash it.
dont change any other settings in odin./
Yes. No prob at all. But some of the rom is non wipe. That means your all app, contact and message will remain after flash the new rom.

Thank you guys!
I got odin from dr.ketan guide and im right now downloading the 4.0.4 open germany rom from the list he supplied.
I want to refer to what dr.ketan wrote in his guide:
"Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM"
I understand that the roms in his list are non-wipe so im good there.
But Since my current rom is stock ics 4.0.3, should i be worried?
Thanks.
No problem mate.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well, that was easy.
Update went smooth and the phone shows im on ics 4.0.4, all system functions work as they should.
So as i understand it as long im just upgrading from stock to stock roms without wipe its a walk in the park.
What can i say?
Thanks a lot for taking the time to guide me Through this process and to answer my questions
With kindness and patience.
Cheers. :good:

[Q] Rooting and upgrading to Jelly Bean

Hello,
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I am not good at this and very nervous of doing something wrong and destroying my mobile... If you could please help me?!
My Galaxy S is:
Frimware version
2.3.3
Baseband version
I9000BWJV2
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813*[email protected]*#2
Build nr
Gingerbread.xwjvh
The mobile is very very slow and very difficult to use because of this. I have seen that I can root the mobile and upgrade it to Jelly Bean, and hopefully my problems will be resolved...
I am just not sure what kind of programme I should download to root it... also I'm very nervous about in what steps I need to go about to upgrading to Jelly Bean and what I need to download and in what order to do this.
I'm not sure what I download to my laptop's desktop and what I need on my mobile itself...
If you could help me with a step by step guide I would be eternally grateful.
Many Many Thanks
Wishing you all Happy Holidays.
Kaarina

Sorry for bothering you, I can only say I never done anything like this before, and am not skilled at this. Being an older person, I can't believe I'm even going try this on my own...

HELP!!!!!
I've done everything and am now updating to ice cream sandwich (thought I do this before I go to jelly bean)
I moved the two last programmes to my mobile, but now when I am about to select 11. Select cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip only gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip is showing!!!
What do I do, the other zip must have not been copied to my mobile, can I turn it off and try to put it on again or what do I do!!!!
I hope you can help me or I don't know what to do.... what do I do help.
Many thanks!!!
Is it normal for it to take over an hour for this??
Solved the problem with some thinking and restored the settings and re-did things and now the ROM is installing... so I think it is all going well!
I have beeen waiting for Select cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip this to finish, and it has been going on for an hour now, is this normal??
Thanks.

Hi Thanks for replying,

--Coyping media files...

Bricking an i9000 is rare, unless you flash firmware for a different phone or pull the cable halfway.

Basically what you're doing is flashing the newest GB firmware for your phone using Odin and then rooting it, also using Odin. After that you have access to " recovery mode", from which you simply choose a zip file with your ICS or JB ROM and flash it.
If your phone is normally working now, I suggest you retry. This process is fairly simple, given you follow all the steps.
Edit: wait, looks like you have a Brazilian i9000.
Since you're using a Brazilian I9000B, disregard what i wrote above, most ROMs aren't compatible, read this

I can't get into recovery mode only Download.
I don't understand where to go from here... can I somehow go back to my original and then get the correct firmware, ROM etc?
I'm very confused. I bought the mobile on the internet so that might explain it...?

Then the best advice I have for you: do not root your device. Dr. Ketan's instructions are simple and straightforward.
If you can't follow them then rooting and changing your device isn't a good thing to do.
Jesus, there are soooo many of these types of threads atm... Read people read!

Download Odin 1.85 or 1.87 and the kernel Speedmod.
Use Odin to flash the kernel;
Put your phone in download mode.
Put the kernel file in the PDA slot.
Flash and let it reboot.
