Here is my experience with all this and why I need help ..
(Yes, I am new to all this, maybe that's why I get confused but alright..)
Okay, I want to root my phone with the design of DocRambone. Right, I follow your guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7329960#post7329960
And go to HOWTO#1 which says I need to flash my firmware. And so I start.
I first download Odin, get the 512.pit file and then try to find the desired firmware package(which according to the Doc guide is I9000XWJM8). Okay, I search the link and get to this: (I pick original firmwares -> Europe)
https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...n/Original Firmwares/Europe/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
Which leads to my first confusion. I can't find anything named "I9000XWJM8". The closest I find is the one called "GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8_I9000XXJM4_CODE-MODEM.7z". Can I use this one or where is the "I9000XWJM8" ? :S
Right, I then assume it's the right one and continue only to find out that I don't know how to start my phone in "download mode". Or maybe I just can't because I got one of the phones without the 3 button combination. I'm not sure which one it is, and yes I did try all the combinations you state here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746814&page=2
None works. But how does the screen look like when you are in recorvery mode? Maybe you should add this to the guide, so people know if they can or cannot start in recorvery mode.
Anyway, I assume I have one of the phones without the combination and so I continue to the guide "Release: 3-button combo fix for any firmware version":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201
I follow the guide and get to step 6 which says "Start a new command prompt and type "adb reboot recovery"". Right, what's this now?
I go back to the big tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7329960#post7329960
And finds the ADB tutorial to find out that I need Android Software Development Kit .. AND a rooted phone. Right, so I wanted to root my phone in the first place and now I need to root the phone in order to get the 3 button combination so I can root the phone. "Wait what?" was my 1st thought. But then I remembered that I found this guide earlier "[REF] Howto (un)root your SGS I9000 the easy way (keep all your data) (Eclair 2.1)":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Why did I got here? Because it said "the easy way". I thought that maybe it doesn't need the 3 buttom combination and so I found out it doesn't!! YAY finally a breakthrough, I thought. And so I started with this tutorial.
I was then met with this
"ROOT includes:
- Superuser 2.3.6.1
- Busybox 1.16.0 (for use with Titanium Backup)"
which brings me to another question: Does this mean that you get these apps when you use this root method? or do I need to install the apps first?
I thought it was the first one, since it says "includes". And so I start with the "Automated Method!". I dowload the .bat file and start. Follow what it says and reaches to the part where I plug in my phone. Here I get the error message: "Driver installation unsuccessfull" (Or something like it. I Don't recall since when I plug the phone in now I don't get the error. I don't even get a "ready to use removable disk" now. It doesn't even recognize the phone now when it's plugged in). Now I have tryed to connect it to the pc before (although WITHOUT the USB-debugging checked) and it worked fine. And this is as far as I can get. I am now officially stuck!
I have read comments and all but it doesn't help.
I'm realy tired from trolling these forums after being led through like 4-6 guides + the ones I havn't mentioned here (havn't counted, but something like that)..
So can anyone please, for the love of god, tell me which guide I should start with, list the guides so I know which one to go to next and answer the questions above.. My head hurts now :S ..
But in general, please write the guides more "noob friendly" or whatever .. I think alot of them are written by admins for admins(or atleast people who know their way around these phones). Atleast that's the impression I get.
I know it was a long read but I hope you'll help anyway
Thank you in advance!

hello there, I can appreciate if you're new to smartphones it can seem a lot to take in.
If you want an easy/simple way to root then there are 2 or 3 methods available on this fantastic forum but try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742403
just go to youtube and search for rooting videos and watch someone do it first, then you do it. very easy once you see how it is done. youtube or theunlockr.com also has great videos
Yea but my problem is now that I can't get access to it when it's in USB debugging mode.
As I posted earlier, the first time I put my phone in USB debugging mode and connected it to my computer it said "Drivers where not successfully installed" (or something like it).. And now, when I connect my phone to my computer in USB debugging mode, it won't even show as an USB. It doesn't pop up and say "USB connected" and I can't find it under My Computer.
Someone who can help me with this?
And when I plug it in, in USB debugging mode, should I press the USB connected button on my phone, like I usually do when I connect the phone to my computer without it being in USB debugging mode?
Okay, I found the device now on my computer, but I can't find any drivers for the phone to be connected in USB-debugging mode. Anyone knows where I can find drivers for this?

when used as USB Debugging mode, you need no driver if you plan to use it as a mass storage drive
you just pull down the tab and select mount the drive
then you can copy your Update.zip to the phone Internal SD
after it is done select Unmount the mass storage drive from the pull down tab in the phone
and now you can boot into the Recovery Mode, select update.zip
and you are rooted.
reboot back to normal, and enjoy the freedom to install any App you want to play with
The easiest way I found is to go on to Android market, install One Click Lag Fix. Then open the app and select root 2.1. Restart into recovery and select apply update.zip. Your phone reboots and its rooted. Simples!
simplest way to root is
1)go to market search for RyanZA's OCLF 2.0.
or here is link http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.rc.QuickFixLagFix
2)open the app
3) click root.
4)then boot into recovery
5)use volume button to select update.zip and click home button
6)your phone is rooted.
Hi everyone... Can anyone here let me know if these "lagfix" rooting methods work and are SAFE for a LOCKED (I have not unlocked the sim) Bell Galaxy S with stock JH2 rom? I am also a bit of a noob and would like to see what this phone can really do.
Also... Do I have to unroot it if I want to upgrade to froyo when it is released?
Please advise...
Thx.
yiannisthegreek
PS... Once this is rooted, HOW do you unroot with these "lagfix" methods if I ever need to?
i would advice againts installing the LAG FIXes as they can kill your Internal SD
there are over a dozen forum topics with people unable to repair the damage, and end up having to ship the phone back to samsung to have it repaired.
Allgamer...
Thank You for the heads up on this but now I am still confused on how to do it. I have to move the update.zip file to my internal sd card but I too have some issues that I cant figure out.
I learded how to do it on youtube watching someone called tech0stickyasglue and it seems very simple but firstly I am not sure exactly where I have to place the file and if I have to unzip it and then place the 2 folders inside it into the sd card, etc... I also have an issue with the whole "mount" and "unmount" thing.
I can mount the card while in usb debugging but when I go back to the dropdown menu it does not give me an option to "unmount" it only gives me an option to quit usb debugging and when I pick this option I get a warning message saying that I should "make sure I have unmounted form the host" or something to that effect.
Can you give any advice or step by step instructions to me on what and where I need to place these files to make this work?
I would greatly appreciate it...
Yea but the thing is that I can't go into recorvery mode.. The 3 button combination doesn't work (Talking to the people from page 1)

When I put down the tap and select mount the drive(when in USB debugging mode that is) I can't acces the phones folders. I can't even see the extra icons you usually get, under My Computer, when you connect an USB to the computer. I can only find the SAMSUNG_Android under Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound ->Devices and Printers where it lies under the "Unspecified" section and not under the "Devices" section. And when I right click on it, press proporties and go to the Hardware tap, I can see under "Device status:" it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" ..
So can anyone tell me what's wrong? (I havn't installed Kies btw, dunno if that has got anything to do with it)

Ahh... the joy of Android & Kies....
you don't really need to install Kies, I only installed Kies to check for official ROMs, but i was using the phone on the PC even without Kies installed
You can install the Android SDK drivers, inside the Android package that you download from google, there is a sub folder with both 32bit and 64bit drivers, unplug your phone and install them, then plug back the phone, it should be detected now.
in my Work PC, i never installed any driver, and i select mount, and it gets detected as a USB key by Win XP

Alright, thanks alot But where can I find this Android package then? I'm not sure what you are talking about exactly
Why wont anyone explain WHAT file(s) you put WHERE exactly for this update.zip root method? Is is some sort of "spy secret" or something?
Seriously... I CAN get to see my phone folders on my computer so I am good there but what I dont know is if I am supposed to move the entire .zip file to the root of my sd card or if I need to extract the .zip file to the root of my sd card.
At any rate... I have tried BOTH methods and I always get the same error message when I reboot in 3 button mode... Something to the effect of E: cannot open / install update.zip... Invalid or not found... (I am guessing on this as I am at work but you get the idea)...
Please... ANY help and "step by step" instruction would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Hi,
One Click Lag Fix (OCLG) downloadable from Android Market will give u an option to root ur phone. And also it gives u an option to fix the lag in galaxy s. I have more than 80 applicatons and widgets installed in my phone. I insist that OCLF is the most useful, powerful and demanded application ever. It is so easy to use and follow. It even offers an option to unroot. So don't be afraid to download and install.
For ur reference, the bench mark speed has been increased from 800 to 2150. Comparable to nexus 1 with 2.2 was 1200. Hope this helps.

you download it from google
just google up Android SDK download
Preface:
I was performing a nandroid restore and then accidentally removed the battery at some point.
Situation:
Phone does not boot past black and white galaxy S screen.
Going into Clockwork Recovery, I am unable to factory reset, or start a restore because it seemingly is not able to detect any of the storage of the device....
(sample messages below):
Code:
E:unknown volume for path [/data]
E:unknown volume for path [/cache]
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
E:unknown volume "/data"
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
Furthermore, I can't just re-flash in download mode because the computer refuses to detect it in windows. At first I thought it was a driver problem, because i've had difficulty with my computer detecting the phone at times, but now I suspect download mode is broken somehow (after trying to reinstall the drivers and installing kies, and various combinations therein). When the phone is plugged into a different computer ( laptop ) running linux, I get messages like these on the command line:
Code:
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -71
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/8, error -71
hub-1.0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
On another note assuming I can't resolve this in a more delicate manner, can someone tell me if it is possible to use a jtag programmer to flash the phone?
Would using a jig to get into download mode make a difference?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Wich Rom where you trying to restore to?
and what Rom were you on before you hit the Restore button?

I was trying to restore to stock JVR (rooted, no lagfix, semaphore kernel I think), from the ice cream sandwich port.
okey, i see, you might need to download android sdk and download the latest usb package or search around for the drivers for Nexus, since the usb drivers for galaxy s doesnt work with cm7/ics builds.
if you manage to make your pc recognise your phone you could check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134975
btw, if you want to restore from ICS to stock gingerbread i think you will have to install a stock gingerbread ROM before you restore.
Hope this helps you!
(edit: if you find the driver or download it from SDK you can head here http://www.dkszone.net/setup-install-adb-android-debug-bridge-windows-7 to see a guide for how to set the driver manually)
Hm, Well I had already had the SDK and the drivers on my computer, but do I need to do anything special to install them? I recall previously trying the [right-click inf > Install] method, for some reason, but that didn't work

i had to manually set the drivers,
i used this thread to do it:
http://www.dkszone.net/setup-install-adb-android-debug-bridge-windows-7
Just jump straight to step #7 if you have the drivers
Upon selecting the driver, windows immediately complains:
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
Agh, And I thought this might actually work too.
EDIT:
Unknown if this is a success or not... but i've been alternating computers trying various permutations of fixes, and this time my laptop actually says the word samsung in the device manager....
EDIT2: Odin Sees it! I am going to try to flash JVR now... then retry restore from there....
P.S. I hope to god this is not related, but I actually just dropped my phone in between switching to attempt on laptop....
EDIT3: Detection, but immediate failure open attempting to flash. Then rebooted phone and now upon pressing start again it seems to be flashing.........
P.P.S: I've got to say, the most stable thing about this series of phone has got to be the bootloaders :#, Like seriously, this thing is boss.
EDIT4: Well. Managed to flash, Now I just get stock recovery with the same problem of it not finding the storage... I guess I will try flashing with repartion and a PIT?
I had to manually choose the folder where i store the Android SDK.
like c:\sdk\sdk\
it sucks when things dosent work like they should do!
So Yeah... Despite not really changing very much at all, download mode connects, and My phone now boots, Which is a lot better than where I was at previously So thanks for your help.
yw, happy i could help you!
The next mystery to solve is why Recovery is still screwed, and why I can boot my device anyway....
Hmm
So youre still getting the E:\ unknown volume *****?
Wich odin version do u use?
I had to use Ezodin last time to get it to flash,
then i flashed full stock JVH (with pda, phone & csc)
but i guess you could try to flash a stock Gingerbread bootloader too,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089989 Here is both Froyo and Gingerbread bootloaders.
And i have Atached EZodin for you.
Hi all,
the question seems simple, but I am unable to solve it, would be very grateful for somebody helping me out.
I have an unlocked HTC One
Bootloader is working, OS is upgraded to 2.24.401.1
Recovery is installed and working TWRP 2.6.1.0
When starting the phone, the system asks to connect to WiFi but does not find a network in the air, hence I am not able to continue that route.
When connecting it to a Windows PC, it is recognized, the usual "drives"are mounted as the drivers are installed.
I see the HTC One but it is read-only and a file cannot be copied to it.
I tried to use the adb push xxxx /storage command but this also says the system is read-only.
I just lack the knowledge on how to continue, I cannot flash a rom as it is not copied to the device.
Please be so kind to guide me in the right direction.

When you connect the phone to the PC - the phone will show its connected on the top (notification bar) pull that down and select /USB connected then choose
HTC Sync Manager
Now connect the phone to the pc and it will be seen as a media devise open it and in root copy the rom and anything else you need
leave the phone with that setting then when you need to move photo, music, docs or whatever its is just a matter of finding the correct file and copy/paste

Thanks, but your explanation is for normal usage, as said, I had a read-only system, this did not work for me.
I understand that the command adb remount did the trick, after that at least adb was able to do its task.

Do you have USB debugging mode activated when you connect to a PC?
Also you can adb sideload a rom when you are in recovery.
Thanks farang4u,
As I said, Matt helped me out and the last Wipe Data which I did this morning was also the trick, so now all seem fine with my phone again.
Thanks all.
Hi,
Like many, I got the same problem after installing new ROM (Runymede KitKat 4.4), but even after reading many threads and advises in other sites, my phone is still bricked. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Details:
Loaded the ROM, was working, but no internal SD.
I was stupid enough to perform a factory default, then, being even more stupid (amazing, no?), deleted the ROM somehow.
Now I'm left with a brick which only accepts recovery mode, nothing else.
Phone is connected to a PC, with working cable (verified), but not recognized by PC.
When I enter the recovery, in FASTBOOT mode.
Same screen gives me the following:
******IR-KEY***
RUNNYMEDE PVT SHIP S-OFF (yes, I'm sure it's off)
HBOOT-6.25.444
RADIO-3831.16.00.16_M
eMMC-boot
Oct 20 2011.00:20:33
Now, I managed to go to recovery, and browse there in file manager.
Went to system/etc/ in order to check vold.fstab, but it's not there.
Went to SDcard directory - no ROM zip file is there (of course. I deleted it...).
Bottom line - 1 Sensation XL stuck on boot, no ROM or installed system, no recognition by PC = nice paper weight.
The recovery I'm getting is TWRP (not CWM) and as I wrote, it's on S-off.
It's quite clear to me that first step is to somehow load a ROM.zip file to the device, but as I wrote - it's not recognized by PC (Yes, I did try to do USB mount via TWRP. No, it did not help. nothing recognized, even after replacing USB port and even on a different computer).
Tried few "magic tools" that meant to save HTC XL found in the web, no help. Youtube search brought me few guides, but all start at working device with working ROM installed, while mine has nothing.
Next (last?) was to try and transfer the zip file via ADB sideload, and here I got stuck:
Downloaded different kinds of ADB packages I found, but I don't understand how to use them. I'm not using LINUX/UNIX or any similar based OS, but MS WIN7. I assume that it needs to be done via CMD window, but couldn't find
a proper guide of how to try and transfer the file to the device. all guides seem to assume that I know what I'm doing, while (as result proves) I have no clue.
I'l be really thankful if someone can publish a dummy-proof, step-by-step guide for using ADB sideload method to identify the device, then transfer a new ROM to it.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed as well, unless it's something like "hold firmly, move your hand back and throw the piece of sh&$t on the nearest brick wall" or "paint in light Blue, drive to nearest beach and throw as far as you can".
Thank you for lasting the long post, and even more if you can suggest a solution.

here i will help you...
first of all jst go to recovery, as you said it is twrp, then select mount option and again select mount storage and your pc will open up dialogue box which will be your sdcard...
if this FAILS....then go to wipe option, select advanced wipe and jst tick on sdcard option and click on repair drive......you will see sdcard details...
try it..
if you get any details of sdcard then reply me...
Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to mention, did try the "mount" option, including wipe every option (separately and combined).
Still no sign from PC.
Micro USB port is good, I get charging of battery and PC responds when phone is connected, but looks like driver is corrupted or missing.
I'm pretty sure my only option is ADB sideload. Once I get the zip file on the phone, looks like I can proceed from there...
download htc driver

then you only need to download new htc driver and use windows xp if win7 fails...
other option is go to device and printers in win7, > right click on your android device device icon > troubleshoot it.... i think everything will be fine...
and if this will help then you are able to mount usb storage from mobile twrp recovery...

Hi,
HTC driver (included in HTC sync) downloaded, no change.
Unfortunately, WIN XP is not really available...
The Android device is not there, that's exactly the problem.
Hi,
An update regarding this HTC.
I put it in my friend's lab, he found that the USB port connection was loose, so after some welding it's working, and phone is identified by the computer.
Managed to send it a ROM zip file, then flashed the ROM, phone is functioning, but...
Problem now is that the phone's internal memory (what HTC define as "SD card", although it's the internal flash memory) is still not found by the phone - e.g. impossible to take photos, get any files with whatsapp or any other storage related actions.
I did try to install another ROM, same result.
I think problem is derived from the fastboot version, which is (still):

Every former thread I saw in XDA or other site, related to 1.25.0 or 1.28.0 (ICS or JB), not this HBOOT.
Note that phone is in S-OFF, but memory is not yet found.
TWRP is installed, of course (so phone is already rooted).
IMHO, what I should do is replace the HBOOT version, but I have no clue of how to do so.
Found some old threads about this issue, but either the download links are broken, or the "tool" package in the link is disabled by Chrome browser due to trojan warning.
Would much appreciate if any of you can assist with clear step-by-step guide of what should be done in order to "save" the SD memory of the phone, as I could not find any proper guide even after spending much time searching.
Thanks in advance
Shemer.
Hello, I am sorry if this post has already been made somewhere but I still can't find the answer for fixing the problem suggested in the title and I may have posted this on a wrong section earlier, very sorry
So I have a GT-S5830 Galaxy Ace and decided to install CyanogenMod 7 with CWM. The flashing of the phone was a success but I came across a bug (or problem?) of screen orienteering and I couldn't find that answer. Right after this, I then decide to restore back to stock ROM. However, I came across a problem when connecting the device (in Download Mode) to my PC; it stated Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration) in Device Manager.
Following Procedures I have done:
- USB Debugging enabled on phone
- Samsung USB Driver installed
- All drivers on PC up-to-date
I am also following a guide to restore back to ROM using Odin Multi Downloader, but it does not recognize the phone in ID:COM. The bleep on the PC can be heard but it only recognizes when the phone is in normal mode; in Download Mode it shows Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration). Please help as I am giving this phone to my sibling.
Thank you.
I'm not an expert by any means, in fact just starting out, but I think you could load the recovery kernel onto your SD card and then boot in recovery mode, select 'load from SD card' (or something similar), select the file on your SD and do it that way. Try looking at wiki . cyanogenmod . org/w/Install_CM_for_cooper (take the spaces out of this URL). You may also need the ADB, I'm not sure, but the details are in that link.
Hope this helps!
