Gingerbread JP9 stock to overcome jupiter

Hi,
I have updated to JP9 uk stock rom using kies. I would have to say that I am not that happy with it (freezes, seems slow compared to 2.2). Having read about overcome, I think it is time to give it a go. Overcome Jupiter requires root, it does not seem possible to root (using superoneclick). So how do I get there?
Do I use CF Root, then overcome - has anybody else done this? Is there anything I should be watching out for?
cheers

First read the faq posted in question & answer section!
Then read the guide for overcome rom you'll understand everything!

Thanks lordrdx666,
I assure you that I have read many posts, and searched the forum, both on rooting stock gingerbread and flashing overcome.
My research has shown that stock gingerbread can not be rooted by superoneclick and that many users are searching for a solution. Also that some who have flashed CF-root have had "bricks". I have also checked the overcome site, here is a quote:
Your Tab must be rooted. (Please look for SuperOneClick root method as it’s usually the safe bet! But for more information on rooting, please refer here:
It refers to superoneclick.
So, as I suggested in my post I think the only option I have is to bitr the bullet and flash CF-Root, then follow the overcome steps. BUT, as far as I can tell there are not many that have gone from stock JP9. So I asked if this is my best option, has anybody else done it and what things should I avoid, this will be the most advanced things I have done with the tab, and yes I am a bit scared and worried about breaking it.
Just looking for help, thanks

Just read the team overcome guide. Don't do any other flashes until you read! The reason your JP9 is laggy is because you didn't upgrade correctly.
When you follow the guide exactly you will have root and a smooth tab.

Hi Rangercaptain,
I think my post may be misunderstood.
I have updated to JP9 via kies. It is the stock rom I am using, and it is that, that I am wanting to change.
I would like to go to the overcomne rom (having read about the different roms, this seems to be very well regarded (discussion on stock vs custom rom).
Do make this change overcome guide states I need root, superoneclick will not root gingerbread.
So the only way that I can see to get there is to root the tab using CF-root, then try to go to overcome.
As I have not used any other tool (if you can call kies a tool), I am nervous about doing these flashes.
My questions, therefore, are:
Have I got the best approach or is there a better way?
Has anybody else done the same sequence and can offer any experience related info
When I can get the confidence to go ahead I will be very diligent in following the instructions.
cheers

Well maybe you did read many posts, maybe you did search the forums. Sometimes there is a lot of reading to do and people tend to miss things. That's also why developers and other senior members complain about noobs asking questions that have been answered before and adding to all the posts that people have to search through. This ultimately affects both you and I and everyone else that has to read through all of the posts to find their answers, and it also makes noobs hesitate to ask questions so that they don't get a verbal lashing by senior members even though they had a valid reason to post.
So you know, your question was answered on post #2 by Lordrdx666, it was a very helpful post.
I'm also more than happy to help others on this forum, and i'm not being a d!ck, but so you know, here is what i came up with on my first search using good old google
try what i did to get results by clicking here
not sure if it applies to you but it should get you somewhere

How to root Galaxy S

Hi,
I am fairly new to this and need advice on how to root my samsung galaxy s.
Details below:
Android 2.1
Baseband Version : I9000XXJM2
Kernal Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number : ECLAIR.XWJM3
Any assistance as to how i need to root the phone, new kernals and latest ROM will be appreciated

Using the search function and reading before opening a new thread is generally considered the best way to go about it my friend.

Reading & searching is always a good idea but often if new you don't really know what to search for so here is a little help.
If you just want root then go to cf-root Read through at least the first post. it is a lot but very helpful.
What you usually want is the cf-root with the last three characters of your build number. If it doesn't match try get one that is close. If you plan to flash a custom ROM then it doesn't matter to much which one you have.
If you want an easy way to have root and the ability to flash custom ROMS you may as well start with DarkyResurrection. It has an easy to follow thread and the download has everything you need in one download.
Alternatively if your goal is to get ICS then here are two tutorials that will get you through the whole process from beginning to end which I recommend doing either one of. Once done you will be in a great position to move onto any ICS ROM, Kernel or Modem you like. My personal favourite is Slim ICS with semaphore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966 (slightly more current ROM)
ICS list of Roms & Kernels
ICS benchmark thread
List of Modems
Lastly a great Samsung Galaxy Resource site: SamMobile. You need to register but it is free.

There are 2 ways that I know of to root your phone depending on what you want to do going ahead.
If you want to install a custom rom, then follow the instructions given above.
But if you want to keep your stock rom and root your phone to install some apps that work only on rooted phones then I would suggest that you use the SuperOneClick method.
Let me know if you need instructions for the SuperOneClick method and I will be happy to share it with you.
Cheers :thumbup:

Install samsung kies and update to gingerbread. Then do cf-root.

I would advise to first upgrade to GB, which is much better version of OS than Eclair. If you are not able to upgrade using kies, you learn how to upgrade here: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/

Sorry ratl0lz, but this is not spamming. I have already written something for helping others and just asking them to visit the page instead of reproducing everything here. Just writing "CF ROOT" may not help for someone who does not know things as good as you know.
Thanks,

unlock phone

Hi all, I wonder if you can help me at all. I have just been given a GT-I9000 which is locked with t-mobile and I would like to unlock it and then flash the ROM (but I will open another thread later for that). I have unlocked only one phone so far, my old gt-I5700 and I was wondering if anybody can let me know how to unlock this one. I had a look at the sticky threads but couldn't find anything about it. Ah this phone has android 2.1
thanks a lot

Ah sorry, I need to root into my phone first...sorry! Can anybody kindly point me to the location where I can get the file to root my phone? thanks

Root is easy to obtain on this device.
You could flash a pre- rooted stock rom with Odin or depending on your rom you could flash a kernel that gives you the ability to use cwm and then flash supersu.zip.
Take a look at the development forum or search for rooting in it. YouTube offers video guides to root your device.

Thanks. Sorry I am not an expert on this so I might need a bit more help. To root in the phone as you say I need Odin. WOuld any version of Odin be ok or should I get one that supports my phone?
About tutorial on youtube, fine I will have a look. For the zip file to become root, are you saying I can get it straight from odin?
Finally, the development forum: I can't find the one for my phone on xda, could you possibly point me there please?
thanks

This is the general section for the i9000, the international version of the galaxy s1. On the left upper side, about the thread name, are links, click on the i9000. It should direct you to the overview of all i9000& 9001 relevant sub forums.
There are two Odin version that work with this phone, they are mostly included in the Odin packages or kernels.
Zip files can be flashed in the cwm/ twrp recovery, Odin can't flash zip files.
Here are some sample guides: http://m.youtube.com/user/totallydubbedHD. There are a lot of more tutorials out there, but that's a user I would recommend you. Written tutorials are in the q&a are and the development forum.

Thanks I had a look at the videos you sent me. I have managed to root and unlock my sim card, so now I have to flash the rom. I had a look around in the gt-i9000 forum, found interesting posts, but I don't understand what ROM version I should get. Ideally I would like to have the latest bug free one. I seem to understand that there are stock roms and custom roms: not entirely sure what the difference is, but as long as I can get a stable (ideally the newest) version I am happy. I had a look around but couldn't find what I need...perhaps because I am not entirely sure myself what I need. Could I ask for some more help please?

There are modified stock roms, based on the official Samsung releases but with a moded theme and some tweaks, they are also called custom roms. The development section contains also pure AOSP roms, based on the android open source project with the AOSP look and speed without OEM content.
It's up to you what you choose, both versions can be stable. The AOSP is based on the latest google release, named jellybean 4.2.1. Samsung stopped the development at 2.3.6, named gingerbread.
Take a closer look at the rom threads and try to build your own opinion with the users feedback.

[Q] Uninstall CWM? N7000B

Hi all
Hopefully I am posting this in the right place.
I am in the process of learning how to flash custom ROMs etc. My phone is currently rooted and I am thinking of installing CWM from ROM manager so that I can update to a newer Android version.
My understanding is that if I backup my stock ROM with CWM before I flash a custom ROM I can go back to my original ROM but the kernal / CWM recovery will remain
My main question is how do I "uninstall" CWM later if I wanted to return my phone to a stock warranty state. I believe that flashing a stock kernel will achieve this, however, I haven't been able to locate a procedure and the files specific to my phone's model (GT-N7000B, on 4.1.2).
Thanks in advance

Thanks for link. There seems to be a wealth of info there. Apologies for a silly question but may I ask what is the best way to navigate this thread since there are 280 odd pages. There is a guide at the beginning, but it appears to be the oldest post. Would it be better to work from the newer pages and work backwards (from page 280). I did a quick search in the thread but did not see much reference to the N7000B. Hopefully it is fully compatible with the guides and files for the N7000.

The first posts are updated with any newer roms and procedures, all the info is at the beginning. Personally I read through the last 10 or so pages to familiarise myself with things to watch out for or avoid.
N7000B is compatible with N7000 roms and rooting.

[Q] First root and custom ROM flashing

Hi,
I am new in this topic, and I want to try out custom ROMs. I have chosen the custom ROM I want to try out (for me this time it's gonig to be CM 10.2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435716 ), and I've read some articles and forum threads about this matter.
My Galaxy ACE S5830 runs on Android 2.2.1 and has never been flashed (as far as I know).
I just want to be sure that I won't make any mistake so I need someone to write me down full process that needs to be done. I don't fully understand what comes first and what comes last therefore it would be helpful if someone here could describe me step by step instructions. I have downloaded everything suggested including drivers, cwm, odin and root and above mentioned custom ROM.
I am new in this subject meaning that I have never done this things with my phone.
Also I am not complete layman and I have good software understanding so I don't need extensive descriptions.
