Hi
I have a SGS i9000 , still not rooted or flashed . I also heared that it might brick my phone, so I would like if someone gives me the best rooting tutorial which worked for him
some of my sgs infos :
frimware version : 2.3.4
Baseband ersion : I9000XXJVR
I'm sorry if this topic allready exists, but i'm so scared x)
thx for reading​
first and foremost, backup all data you have on your phone.
then try to understand the consequences that may occur after you root your phone (your warrany might be voided)
watch this video to learn how to root: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55zXmrMFXkU
or learn from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
also if anything bad happens during rooting and your phone gets bricked. don't worry. just keep calm and come back to the thread. you can review a bricked sgs with ease.
happy rooting!
I felt the same way dude...what if i bricked my lovely new sgs?!? But one day i came to this site, see the dark knight rom and just thought fcuk it im goin for it. Rooting and flashing roms takes litterally a few minutes. As long as you follow all instructions exactly, you cant go wrong.
They put the disclaimer in the posts about possible damage but thats only so nobody can blame them. Those few sentences are enough to scare you (like it scared me) into not attempting it but i guarentee you, after your first flash that doubt is all gone and you wont be able to stop modding
I can link you to the exact post i used on my first ever flash if you want....Good luck.

Hi Guys, been reading up on Android for a while and have to say you guys are awesome some really great info in here.
i just have one quick question if someone would be so kind to help.
i was awaiting the ICS update and checking the Facebook page (and here). wasnt feeling experienced enough to do the whole root and mod stuff yet (hopefully soon)
but on the facebook page. i noted this link for a simple official upgrade
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/424364/how_update_your_samsung_galaxy_note_ice_cream_sandwich/
i followed the procedure (perhaps very stupidly)
came straight here to see what new magic i could make
and saw the "Public Service Announcement"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938
did i screw up here guys? kinda freaked! if so....should i revert back. is that an easy thing to do?
maybe im reading too much into it
thanks the help ill be sure to thank anyone
You should be fine. This is really affecting what seems to be the rooted version with chain fire. I have the official stock lpy and have no issues. So I would just recommend staying where you are at the moment and don't attempt to root or go into cwm.

lol you just freaked me out aswell, but i guess this has nothing to do with the official stock Germany ICS release, right!? Cos i Flashed it yesterday and its working great so far!!!!
Or is this something that can happen down the line?
The announcement is for ICS repacks from previous leaks
+1 ! i'm also hesitant on rooting and flashing because i'm too busy at the moment and can't be bothered with a bricked phone.
The announcement you're refering to is quite old though and concerns ICS repacks that were built using leaks while the official G-Note ICS from Samsung was still under development.
If you flashed your phone using the official ICS downloaded from samsung directly you shouldn't have any problem.
Also, i'm not 100% sure about this but i think flashing (even an official and clean stock rom) can go dreadfully wrong (=bricked phone) if there's a problem (like a powerfailure or computer crash or if your cat jumps on your phone and disconnects the cable) in the very first phases after you launched the operation. That's when the program installs all the required boot files on the phone and if those are missing, it just will never turn on again.
I also asked some folks in another post on the forum and they assured me that most roms are safe to flash if they we're built from stock roms. So since GB has been out for so long, it's pretty much safe to flash any GB-based custom rom. Now that ICS is out, it'll be pretty safe to flash custom ROMs based on ICS in a month or two i guess.
I'm too inexperienced to give advice but i think you'll be fine. Hope the above info was useful.
im NEWBIE when it comes to flashing,
im planning to flash my phone atleast to a ICS or better rom but....
they said if you flash your galaxy phone there is a chance to brick it... is it also, ALL custom rom out in the net also here in XDA
can do this to my phone?.. how will i know if it is comes from good source?...
i have lot of question bout flashing my mini, like what is the first step i need to do, 2nd? and so on!
can i bring it back to the stock rom if the custom rom i picked have lots of bugs?
what is porting?
BTW MY PHONE IS ROOTED since last night
please enlighten me!!!
comments are much appreciated
you need a lot of reading, please read every sticky of the mini forum
you can take your phone back to stock by flashing firmware through Odin (PC software)
first you will need to be on gingerbread because every rom here is maid for gb
second read about cwm recovery, recovery is what you will need to flash custom rom
follow every procedure correctly and no brick will be in your path
i think im using gingerbread, ill provide SS..
so i need to DL ODIN in my PC(stock purposes?)
if i follow the step by step procedure 100%? no brick will happen?
is there any link for CWM RECOVERY?
google for flashing firmware to mini and you will get Odin
read about flashing cwm, now also Odin will be used and do jot use rom manager your mobile may brick
for 2-3 days do only reading then do what you want to
damn im fxckng scared to flash my phone even though i read tuts bout flashing
nothing to scare for when we are here just clarify all your doubts before doing anything

First you will have to flash CWM
Follow the steps in the link given below:
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/09/installing-clock-work-mod-recovery-in.html#.UDIx1KniaM9
Then you have to install a custom ROM of your choice(according to your specifications)
I suggest Andro-id 3.2
Follow the link below to flash Andro-id 3.2:

And that's it!
Hi everyone, I have not been on here for a long time.
been getting bored with my phone lately and decided to come on here and see whats new.
So.... I'm still not rooted and noticed alot of people which are rooted are now using jellybean.
Is it worth me rooting so that i can get the jellybean or just stay on 4.0.4 and wait for it to be released?
Im based in london, UK if that info is needed.
if it's worth the root, any chance someone on here could guide me in the right direction to rooting my galaxy note and then the right direction in getting the jellybean.
the main reason i want to root now, is that im bored with my phone's setup.
I want to have a complete change, different home page, different call setup ect ect.
So... any help would be really appreciated. :good:

Check first link in my sig, hopefully that will be all you need to know. And yes, custom JB roms worth a try, they are great!!

CM10 is not stable enough yet (most JB ROMs have memory leaks and you have to restart your phone nearly every day), so if you need a reliable phone, ie. for work, study, etc, I'd suggest staying on ICS.
Also remember that all these JB ROMs are based on Cyanogenmod and not on Touchwiz, so if you need the Samsung apps (FM Radio, S Note) you will have to look for alternatives.
Other than that, the JB ROMs I tried have been really nice in my experience, Google Now and the offline voice recognition make the other issues really easy to forgive.
Root in general is worth it for a number of reasons, among them CF 3D, Google Now on ICS, etc. etc.
With Google Now available on ICS there is no real reason to jump the gun to JB imo
Check my signature....jellycore worth a try....

+1. If you want to jump ship to JB roms, just be prepared to reflash updated roms once a week (minimum).
Else, stick with ICS roms, and wait until all JB issues been sorted out by the community.

Thanks guys for your input,
I know this is going to sound really cheeky but is there anyone on here that would guide me step by step on getting rooted. I can add you on skype or msn if its easier.
I know there are links ect ect but last time I tried to follow them I messed up my htc phone.
And someone ended up adding me on skype to guide me through it.
I basically want someone who is kind enough to guide me step by step to get my note rooted and then I'll decide afterwards which rom I want to use.
If your happy to help, send me a PM please.
Nobody willing to add me on skype and help me through it? :crying:
jelly bean rocks and rooting is worth to try

I'd still rather get rooted.
so.... Is there still nobody thats willing to add me on skype and guide me through it?
I'm not stupid, so you wont need to worry about me asking question after question, i'll simply do whatever you tell me to do.
just need links sent to me to whatever it is i need to download ect ect.
first of all bud, you don't need any kind of online tutorials thru skype... tell you what you need to do.. simple tidbits that might get you going to flash your desired JB onto your device...
1.) Search for the most appropriate JB ROM that you like (scan to all the respective JB threads on our beloved Note's forum to choose which one you like best and fits your style).
2.) Once you have the idea on what JB ROM you would like to flash... here's the tricky part... type this on one of your browser's tab.... www.youtube.com.... in the search area field... type 'How to flash 'NAME OF YOUR JB ROM' to galaxy note... I'm sure there are video tutorials made appropriately for the JB ROM of your choice...
Good luck bud... again, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand and know the art of flashing.... it just takes one INITIATIVE and the rest, a bit of luck, a bit of prayer and bit of fate.
You can do it, I know you can!

Hi mate, did you get your rooting issue sorted? If not, the best one I found (and then used!) was Max at rootgalaxynote.com. Open the webpage and there is a tab at the top for Galaxy Note Root. He even puts a video "walk through" on. You can do it without using a PC, merely downloading 3 or 4 zip files then flashing as per his tutorial. It takes minutes and honestly, it really couldn't be simpler.
Good luck, please feel free to message me.

Thanks so much for that link, I had a look through it, and it seems straight forward, the fact i dont even need to use my computer is amazing.
BUT... what is the difference between this root and the other 1 which everyone else has done, using odin?
also, if i use this way, is it easy to install different roms?
Can anyone confirm if I can do this easy root method and then install a rom of my choice? Or is it not as easy as that?
I can definitely manage to follow the steps in the video, just wondered what i'll need to do next to get a rom.
Nobody?

Rooting and flashing ROMs aren't hard. I don't know how you've gotten root, if you havent, then first flash cfroot kernel according to your firmware, once you're rooted, flash a safe kernel first e.g, Hydracore, speedmod, through CMW and from those kernels you can flash ROM of your choice through the recovery.

Hey guys Whats going on. Well Ive had my S5 for a while now. And When I first got it I remember you couldnt Root the phone and One reason was it would Change or mod something with the Kernel. And doing that you would break your warranty on the phone. It has been a while since I rooted and installed Roms, since the droid bionic. Thanks again
Sooo did some reading and now see there is a Root Hack to finally Root these ATT S5 Phones... Can someone Point me in the direction on how to do this correctly?
I have a Kernel Version: 3.4.0 Tues July 22 2014
Android Version 4.4.2
I also would like to Try some Custom Roms. How do you guys Install Custom Roms?
Does we need to install Safestrap? Or any recovery Mod like that?
What I would like to do is get more from my battery as a Full battery barely lasts me a Full day at work.
Thanks guys and cant wait to get some info and advice here. Always great getting Professional Advice than searching and finding 100 different answers. :laugh:
