Database Develop

I9000M Bell Vibrant Root

Hi XDA members! Very excited to join this community and expand my knowledge or rather learn about development. I know NOTHING so please bare with me. I'm trying to root my Galaxy S Vibrant and I've been reading about rooting for months now with the hope of installing a custom ROM(?) like Cyanogenmod, but when I actually set out to do this I've been more confused. I guess there's different ways of rooting depending on carrier, version number, build type, os version, etc. I've tried to read the step by step processes of doing it, but I can't find links or the proper files to do it. I'm such a noob to this that I'm finding it discouraging. I'm not sure exactly of some of the terminology that is being used on these forums so that's why I need a walk through with all the links of what I need to do. I know that there's a learning curve and I'm willing to go through it, but I don't even know where to start. Can someone please walk me through this step by step on how I can root my phone and I'll worry about installing Cyanogenmod later?
Some phone details:
OS version: 2.3.3
kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3
build number: GINGERBREAD.GKG3

Why stay on 2.3.3 when you can upgrade to 2.3.5? There are next to no custom roms available for your version of firmware. Your phone is basically the same as an I9000 international. Pretty much everything made for the i9000 will work on I9000M, the only thing that I do after I flash a new rom is flash my modem back to UGKG3, which is the modem you are using right now....check your phone in settings>phone>baseband version and you will see this is so. Go to this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and download 2.3.5 Europe: XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (MultiCSC), extract the files. You want to use the one that says CODE. Now download 2.3.3 North America: UGKG3/UGKG3/BMCKG3/Sbl (MultiCSC), extract the files. You will use the ones that say CSC and PHONE. Now download (from the same link) Odin and pit files. Its under How to flash (you should read all of that about 5 times over) extract the files. You will have your Odin tool and 3 pit files. Your gonna use the one that says 512pit. So open up Odin...put the file from XXJVT that says CODE in the pda section....where it says phone use the file from UGKG3 that says PHONE...where it says CSC use the file from UGKG3 that says CSC...where it says PIT use the file 512pit.
Next you need to put your phone in download mode. Power it down and wait for it to vibrate about 10 seconds after screen goes black. Now hold down all together volume down + home key + power button. You should see download mode. Hook your phone up to your computer...you will see a com port on Odin go yellow...that means your connected. Press start....Its will take about 10 minutes. After Odin will say Pass, and reset...your phone will begin resetting. Once it reboots you will be running the XXJVT but with the North American modem.
Now you want to root...You need to choose a kernal that is made for XXJVT. I currently use Semaphore 1.8.0, there are newer versions of this kernal available and many other XXJVT kernals available. This is just my preference. You can find the download here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 Its at the bottom of the first post.
semaphore_kernal_jvt_1.8.0.tar....this file does not need to be extracted.
Power down your phone again and put it in Download mode....reset odin to remove the previously used file...now put the semaphore download in PDA....connect phone....com port goes yellow....press start....after 10 seconds it will say pass, reset...phone will reset and voila you have rooted your phone.
There is a tone of information on this site, just read up and learn...Its almost impossibe to mess up your phone beyond repair....Just read everything 3 or 4 times before doing anything.

what do you mean by flashing back to the UGKG3 modem?
also, are there any other kernels beside the Semaphore one that you mentioned? Cuz i'm reading the changelog and it saids that the 720p video recording is broken and I really rely on my phone for videos....
I thought CM7 runs its own kernels ... can I use that instead?

After you are rooted, you might flash a rom on your phone like me Im on Simplicity rom, once I flash it, it changes my modem, so I flash my UGKG3 modem back in odin, since that is the north american modem that gives me the best signal.
As for the semaphore kernal I suggested, yes there are many. The one I suggested does not break 720 recording. Your are talking about semaphore 1.8.0bm...the bm means big memory, it has a bit more ram. I suggest semaphore 1.8.0...without the bm it does record 720 no problem, I use it all the time. As for CM7, I dont know...But I do know you need cwm in order to flash it.
Like I said there are more current versions of Semaphore available, just make sure you get the one that doesnt say bm at the end. The reason I suggest 1.8.0 is because it comes with superuser app and cwm app. Although Im hearing 1.9.1 is very good, I dont believe it has thes apps included so you would have to go and get them seperate...not a huge deal, Im just trying t make this easier for you.

ok... got rooted and new kernel....
time to play around to see if I can get CM7 on it
thanks again for all the help

How did you do it so quickly? I read all of vanis' stuff, which was very helpful, but since I'm a noob I don't even know where to start. I was passionate about doing this, but every time I re-read what I have to do I get confused, frustrated and give up. It seems overwhelmingly enough that it would take me an entire weekend to do

Well, lets get something clear first... i got it rooted and flashed the kernel, i'm still having problems flashing to CM7 ... for some reasons, i'm having a boot loop during the installation process. So everytime, I need to re-ODIN with vanisleryan's instructions again just to get the phone to stop bootlooping. Since it doesn't look like ppl on this thread is familiar with CM7, i've gone looking for help on anther thread.
As for the ODIN part, i know it does seem overwhelming, but this is not the first 'droid device i've rooted, this is just the first Samsung device i'm rooting (hence my problems )
If you read vanisleryan's instructions, its really as straight simple as that.
Just download the 4 files that was indicated:
1) 2.3.5 Europe: XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (MultiCSC)
2) 2.3.3 North America: UGKG3/UGKG3/BMCKG3/Sbl (MultiCSC)
3) Odin tool and 3 pit files
4) Semaphore 1.8.0 (this is optional because there are other suitable kernels, but I'm using this one too just for convenience)
get that done first and we can take it one step at a time.
first big question before you start:
- do you know how to get your SGS into Download Mode and does ODIN recognize your phone?

To get on cm7 from stock bell i9000m
Put latest cm7 nightly and latest gapps on internal sd
Get gingerbread ezbase
Flash ezbase

I learned how to use Odin the hard way (issue following a Kies upgrade), so I'll pass on what I've learned. Hope this will help.
If you have the abomination known as Kies installed, you already have the USB phone drivers on your PC.
As noted in vanisleryan's post, download the JVT, KG3, Odin, and Semaphore rooted kernel files.
The JVT, KG3, and Odin files are self extracting archives, so just double click and indicate where you want them to extract to.
Leave the Semaphore tar file as-is.
Locate the directory where Odin unpacked itself to and run Odin.
Click on PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit from the directory where Odin is extracted to.
Click on PDA and select PDA_XXJVT_Sbl.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000_XXJVT_XXJVT_OXAJVT_Sbl directory
Click on PHONE and select PHONE_UGKG3.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl directory
Click on CSC and select CSC_BMCKG3.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl directory
After you have selected the files, your Odin should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Put your phone in download mode (You should see this guy):
connect the phone to your computer, wait for Odin to recognize the phone (yellow coloured background in ID:COM box) and then press Start.
After you have performed the initial flash and it succeeds, disconnect your phone from your computer and close Odin.
Open Odin again, click PDA and select Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.0.tar
Do not select anything else. Put your phone in download mode again, connect to your computer.
When Odin indicates it has recognized your phone, press the Start button.
Once complete, you'll be running a rooted i9000m with JVT codebase and will be using the Bell modem and related info.

Hi,
so i have a few kinks with the instructions provided here....
flashing to ezbase was straight forward, no problems there...
however, when i rebooted into recovery, i noticed that it was the 3E recovery and not a CMW recovery...
I've never flashed a CM7 ROM w/o CMW, but I gave it a try anyway...
and of course, i got an error ... "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E:signature verification failed"
any suggestions?

To add another voice to the chaos:
The JVT modem is working well for my Bell gt-i9000m. I'm on Telus but they share frequencies so Bell should be cool too. If you're on cm7 check out siky_dude's modem thread in the developer forum.
Beware ... once you start flashing roms you're going to be doing it constantly. Get to know your backup/restore tools....
roboticly yours

Did you need to do anything special to enable the 850 frequency, or is that what the KG3 CSC addresses (still a noob at some of this myself)?

You're right the jvt modem will work but you'll find your reception a hell of alot better if you use the KG3 modem.

would you happen to have a copy of the EZbase MD5 files that you can share?
i dunno what else i can do.. every link I find is either broken or it leads me to the same place that I d/l it from yesterday
also, a couple other questions
1. can i flash a different kernel with while running ezbase (ie: Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.0)
2. in ODIN, i know PDA = kernel, but when ppl say flashing the modem, does the modem = PHONE .... or does modem = CSC?

modem = PHONE

Hi,
for some reason, the DJBROM wouldn't flash successfully. I was still getting the 3E recovery and nothing flashed properly with the stupid recovery.
anyhoo, i ended up flashing ezbase 4.0 with TalonDev 2.2 kernel
finally, using that combination, I was able to get CWM3 onto the phone
and from there, I knew what to do and now I finally got CM7 nightly running
thanks again for all your help

Galaxy S bootloop(after wiping from recovery)

Dear geniuses,
I'm fairly new to these things and could really use some help. I rooted my galaxy s i-9000 which was on gingerbread(2.3.6 JW3) with CF-Root and then flashed the newest cm9.1 successfully. I then tried to flash the latest cm10.1.2 )after wiping data,cache and dalvik cache) but got a warning that the partiton layout was incompatible (status 7). I rebooted normally and everything was fine. To make it wasn't a bad download I re-downloaded cm10.1 and tried to flash it again in the exact same way, got the same warning and rebooted just like last time. However i ended up in a bootloop at the second screen which says galaxy s with cyanogenmod written under it. I can not boot into recovery but I can boot into download mode. I tried to flash back to stock but Odin is getting stuck at "Setup Connection".
Any help would be greatly appreciated

remove the battery (be sure it is fully charged!!),
wait 5 mintes, put it back and retry the flash

Try a different Odin version. May be that will help.

OK, don't worry, it isn't serious.
Few information/questions:
- do you use Odin version compatible with the i9000? I think 1.82 or 1.7? are for the i9000, later versions can not connect to the i9000, check that!
- as long as you have download mode, no problem. Do you have the CWM recovery mode and is it still accessible?
- it is correct, that CM10.x uses different repartitions, did you make nandroid backup of your CM9?
- if you can enter recovery mode, install zips of CM10.1.2 anyway, and right after that the gapps for android 4.2.2 and reboot, you will have CM10.1.2 on your phone.
You stuck now in bootloop only because you've erased by wiping something....your phone is just bit nervous now, don't worry
BTW, nightlies 10.1 by developer pawitp are newer than stable 10.1.2
And CM10.2 nightlies are kind of getting stable (today's nightly build seems to be excellent) and will provide you about double battery life than cm10.1x

It is good idea to uninstall Kies, but be careful as sometimes Kies uninstalls Samsung driver as well. That's why be sure you still have Samsung mobile driver on your PC....
You can download the driver on many sites in www

Yep... it was wrong version for your needs, you need Odin v1.82 or v1.83.
Also several of 1.7x work well, but try to use the newest version for i9000: 1.83
Ver 1.85 is newer generation and it is made for SGS2 and other, newer devices
For some things it will work, for others not. I didn't know myself about it for long time and I was wondering why my flashing didn't work sometimes.....
1.82 worked just always for my i9000

Thanks for your reply it was really helpful.I installed 1.82(couldnt find a link for 1.83) and tried flashing with it. It got past setupconnection and odin registered it as pass however the phone did not reboot but gave me a recovery 3e screen with multiple errors(which i have attached). When i rebooted it started at the galaxy s screen, then showed me the boot animation that says 3 uk(the carrier whom this phone was previously locked to). After that it showed me the screen with the animated s and after a minute or two it went back to the 3uk animation(and repeats). I can access download mode and 3e recovery but the recover is giving a few errors. Any ideas? Anyone?
This seems similar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432915 but what should i do, i really dont want to make things worse again.

Thank You so much for your help but unfortunately I'm a noob so i don't know how to. Should i flash it as pda in odin? Should I flash stock rom after, before or not at all? Should I keep the reboot box checked? I'm sorry for wasting your time like this but if you could provide detailed instructions i would be forever grateful

Don't worry, mate. Flashing seems to have been successful, it's just some trash ROM that you've got. It is now probably unrooted so of course you have stock recovery.
Find some other 2.3.6 rom and flash it via Odin 1.82 same way (if it is after unzipping only one file, set it under PDA, reboot checked, repartition UNCHECKED) if the ROM is OK then you will just flash rooted kernel Semaphore that features CWM recovery already.
Let know what happened. If you don't quote my text I don't get notification that you have answered.....

First thanks for all your help, i would not have been able to get till here without it. I dont think the problem is with the rom because i flashed it twice, with both times being successful before all this (with a wrong version of odin).This file seemed to work for some people at the link i gave so I think I'll try it in a few hours. Just to be sure i shouldnt flash something else, before,after or during right?

yes, just flash dbdata.rfs (select the file under PDA in Odin3, do not tick anything else, and press start) .
its basically. clearing the data partition, which seems to be the problem that you had posted in your screenshot.
sorry I did not post all the details last night, as I wanted to quit and take a rest.

Flash this first Flash i9001 Boot.tar with AriesVe.ops in Odin 4.43, after that download the correct firmware for your region from here and flash with ariesVe.ops using Odin 4.43,
the problem could be due to either your boot loader is corrupt or the ROM you are flashing is corrupted.
you can try i9001 ROM (fresh download from above link) first too
good luck & good night.

Thank's man but i have one problem, i don't find the rom for my country, Romania or Europe .. can i try germany ? This country is in Europa too.
EDIT: No, i can't flash this with odin, i have the same problem, odin doesen't work, he don't start anithing only say plctform verification.

I can see 2 way for you:
1. You can install clean Gingerbread backup via Recovery.
2. You can reinstall Samsung drivers on PC or change PC to another.
Did you try these methods?

that means you need to download the Odin 4.43 and ariesVE.ops from here and yes you can use the ROM for germany in addition what version of windows is on your PC? windows 8.1 may have problems with Odin, And if possible use a laptop to flash

[Q] Stock Recovery Problem

Hello,
First, i install a cwm for galaxy s advance here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987313 and i did everything according to what the developer instruct us to do, like pressing vol up+ power button + home button for stock recovery and apply update from sd card and find the update.zip(which is the cwm). While installing it stops and says that:
E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
install_package = (2)
i'm not sure what's problem: is it my phone, or the cwm file itself. My galaxy s advance android version is 2.3.6(gingerbread).
Is there someone who can help me?
Regards,

OMG ... You did not read carefully you buddy. That you install the CWM for the stock ROM JB (4.1.2) or [Recovery] CWM 6.0.2.8 [JB Compatible]. :crying: Not for OS Gingerbread. If you want to do you have to do the firmware update first to stock ROM Jelly Bean (4.1.2) via Odin.

No, you can not flash CWM from GB. Because CWM can only be flashed with JB. So you need to update the system prior to JB.
Or read how to guide here how to do a system update from GB to JB.

Hm .. Well.
first:
Why do I have to recommend you to install CWM to go through the stock ROM JB (4.1.2)?!. Coz SPECIAL S ADVANCE DEVICE that using OS GB till now still haven't found a thread is in this forum, and in other forums outside of this forum. And this is in accordance with the suggestions from those users advanced level, up from the creator of the application. If you still contains hard, want to install CWM in GB, are welcome, but I would not recommend it, of course, do at your own risk.
second:
If you look at the friends that you can install CWM, confirmed the developer has given his support to the device in order to install CWM via OS GB. I hope it's understandable.
For more details information, please consult the the advanced level users such as:
1. Senior @shut_down
2. Senior @R_a_z_v_a_n

Simply, we do not have CWM made for GB, we have TWRP. We have recovery embedded in same partition as kernel, so if we want permanent CWM we MUST flash kernel with CWM. - Is it more clear now?
Some phones has separate partition for recovery, so they can install it that way. And our phone is not compatible with ROM manager, Mobile Odin and all similar stuff.
Do not compare other phones options, because it is differed.
Most important thing is - what do you want to do? If you asked that in first place, we would cut to the chase and save you a lot time.

I guess you have to guide him to do the installation Stock ROM JB, Senior.

Maybe he do not want Stock JB ROM.
BTW to save time:
Download JB firmware from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com, DOWNLOAD IT FOR YOUR PHONE MODEL - IF YOU HAVE I9070 THEN I9070, IF YOU HAVE I9070P THEN I9070P FIRMWARE - OTHERWISE YOU WILL HARDBRICK YOUR PHONE.
When you downloaded it unpack it if it is zipped, if it is in tar.md5 then you can use it without unpacking.
Guide for using Odin (with Odin link) is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398 zip of it is password protected, you do have password on that page.
After that do factory reset if you get in a bootloop.
For CWM, download CoCore with CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597
Unzip it, transfer kernel.bin.md5 to phone, install Universal kernel flasher and some root explorer like ES file explorer. Install kernel.bin.md5 from Universal kernel flasher reboot, and you have CWM on JB.
That is if you want JB and CWM on it. For GB - we do not have permanent CWM, only TWRP.
