Galaxy S plus GT i9001 root issues

Righty, I rooted my S+ i9001, I just followed the steps at the link here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...253707&page=23) and everything went ok but now every time i sart my phone or try to use an app that needs root I get told superuser stopped working. (one thing with keksliks howto it states press home but should say press menu when u see android out of box)
Lookin at my phone details is still says kernal 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected] # 1 any ideas what went wrong, tried updating superuser via market and the fix but both stop unexpectedly. The signed root zip I also downloaded from here via another thread. Now loads of apps are crashing, google frame, even facebook and internet browsing.
I even ran the unroot also posted with the link above but still loads of apps keep crashing and wont work. ANy ideas or is there w working GT i9001 signed zip that gives root and don't kill everything?

I must be doing something wrong as everyone else following the same thread say it works.

Well I rooted again and busybox says my phone is rooted but titanbackup says can't get root, any ideas?

i've had the same issue I unrroted with the unroot signed.zip and rooted again with the root signed.zip the averything worked. Try a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache in recovery mode.

it seems like you have updated your phone to another firmware without resetting it.
So try that and backup your settings and contacts before doing that

Easy unroot with supperoneclick
I think you don't need to reset but you van Just unroot with supperoneclick, just search Google for it. You don't need to switch de Phone off, but you need to Connect with the usb cable. Check your setting for USB debuggen (should be switched on) otherwhise it wont work. Then Connect the usb with your pc. And Connect on your Android device. Then open the program and click unroot.
If you have any questions Just ask.
Hope it works!

Google Market on CM7 mod?

After installing CM7 my phone is awesome but I don't have Google market. I tried downloading the v3.4 apk but after I install in my phone I open it and it asks me to add an account. Once I click on the button the market app just closes. I tried clearing data and redownloading the file but I'm not having any luck... help?

You need to install Gapps. It should be on the CyanogenMod wiki.

I downloaded the .zip for the Gapps file. Anyone care to guide me on how to install it? I clicked on the downloaded file and CWM gave me the option to boot into recovery to continue installation but when it reboots it never makes it into recovery mode. The Android bot with a sad face shows up. So I just have to hold the power button until my phone powers down and I can reboot like normal.
I can get into CWM manually but when I'm there what option do I click on? Is it as simple as finding the file and clicking install? Thanks for helping a noob figure all this stuff out. Thanks.

Well I moved the downloaded .zip to my SD card and booted into recovery mode. I clicked on install zip from SD and it seemed to work like a charm. So disregard my post and sorry for being a noob... I'll learn this stuff eventually.

No worries. I would have assisted, but I was asleep.

[Q] Unable to boot tablet.. please help

Hi I hope someone can help me as i'm a little stuck how to proceed....
Basically I purchased a new P7310 tablet 2 days ago with the idea of installing lovely JellyBean.
I firstly 'Rooted' the following the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137 and then installed and run 'Superuser' without problems.
Next I installed 'Titanium Backup Root' and 'RomManager from ClockWorkMod', I run Titanium Backup Root and carried out a full system and apps backup successfully.
Next I connected my tablet to my Windows PC and downloaded the latest two ROM zip files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777398 and copied them to the Root of my SDcard.
I then disconnected my tablet and clicked the 'RomManager' app, once opened I clicked on the 'Boot in Recovery' button and a message appeared saying it needs to install the Recovery Manager, so I clicked OK. Next a success message appear saying it installed OK. So I decided to click the 'Backup ROM' button before I started just to be safe but the tablet switched off... black screen, it then loaded up but the Samsung logo flash up then disappeared.
Now If I try to power on the tablet I just get to the logo then powers off, if I try to boot into recovery mode it displays the two icons on the screen ok but selecting the left icon (with mini android character) it powers off. If I select the other green icon it shows me a message about installing custom roms and asks me to connect the tablet to a USB... followed by asking about 'odin3'?
I'm totally confused what I can do now, as I say I haven't actually got to the point of installing the JelyBean Rom, I just wanted to make a few backups first.
Any help much appreciated..thanks.

From further investigation I think I have soft bricked my tab :crying:
Now trying to find out how I might be able to fix it, found this post which I really hope will help me - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590
Any help with trying to fix my tab would be great.. thanks.

Fixed it thanks to this forum :victory:
Encase anyone else has the same issue I just downloaded the original ROM file for my UK P7310 (P7310XEUKJ4_P7310XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5) which was approx 600MB (once extracted to desktop) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582943
And followed the screen shot instructions further down the thread from user 'suwandiapr' which informed me which options to have selected when runing the 'Odind3 v1.85' application.
The whole process took around 10 minutes to complete.

Sounds like ROM Manager screwed you. This is why I'm not a big fan of these Play Store release ROM/recovery installers. You can't test on every device, therefore there are going to be issues and some people are going to end up with bricks. Sure, they're convenient, and they work most of the time, but when they don't work, it has the potential to be catastrophic.
IMO, stick with flashing things through working recovery (or Odin the first time).
EDIT: Also, glad you're back up and running.

had same problem with p7300 after Rom Manager.
now using cwm for total backups and 'my backup' for applications when moving between different roms.

I'll second everything said. Always use a recovery to flash a rom. Never rom manager or other such things i hard bricked my i727 using goo manager. Don't trust the rom either rom manager or goo manager say are compatible with you device. Pretty sure my hard brick was from a gapps goo manager said was compatible with the rom. Check xda and what others have said works

The best option to flash any rom is from the cwm recovery, unless its a stock rom and u want to use Odin from dl mode. Also, some versions of cwm recovery are deemed dangerous for ics. Pls visit tracids thread in development for details.

sgh-t599 recovery / restore

HI XDA
I got this sgh-t599 tmobile phone yesterday. (didn't realize it was rooted) messed around/did factory reset without backup.
now im stuck in CWM recovery 6.0.3.6, Ive spent several hours readind and trying to fix this with no luck.
I tried using adb, kies etc. none can detect device. device drivers are installed(tried 'have disk'), it shows Samsung under device manager.
I can device list in adb and shows the numbers and "recovery" but when i try to use commands it says "waiting for device" or something.
from what i read, i need unsecure boot to restore firmware. where can i get this and how do i do it pls.
i have no mount usb option in cwm, when i try to recover/update from cwm it says aborted. in adb im able to reboot the phone with the commands but always reboots to cwm recovery or waiting for device. any help pls. i may have access to another rooted t599 if i am able to backup and recover it to this phone?:crying:
do you think local phone repair shop can fix this back to stock or rooted and for how much?

You must have format system or something. A factory reset wipes cache and data, nothing else. There should be a homebrew odin-file somewhere in these t599 threads.

phone was rooted and had superuser etc on it. I didn't know about rooting, I did factory reset from the main menu which im pretty sure is what caused this. before that I was able to look through its apps where I saw the superuser,terninal and others, once factory reset it rebooted to cwm recovery and stuck there. there was no backup or side sdcard. only realized it was rooted after saw the cwm and stuck
odin doesnt detect phone either, downloaded/installed universal drivers still no go.
main issue is not being to able enable usb debug/download while still in cwm
repair shop says $30, about to run there

i caused my friends sgh-t599 to do that
So... This might be late.... But I'm going to postthis for others .... So I was looking for ever for a way to unbrick his phone... Then hope Finley came .. After I read hard enough .. And came across a post for a stock pre-rooted tar file to be flashed with Odin...
