[Q] Unsuccessful CF-root on stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 JVK Kernel

Hi,
I am a newbie but I want to have root privileges on my GB 2.3.3 phone, so I read the instructions on how to flash the stock kernel to the CF root kernel (described in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108) and gave it a try.
I started with the following official stock firmware and kernel from SFR (French provider), obtained thru Kies by updating from Froyo 2.2.1 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Official stock firmware was released 4th of July 2011):
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000XXJVO
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVK-CL264237...
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVK
Kies mentioned after the update to 2.3.3: PDA: JVK / PHONE: JVO / CSC: JV4 (SFR)
As the build number, specifies JVK, I selected the CF-root zip: CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS.zip
I flashed this CF-root kernel using Odin without re-partition. Odin successfully flashed it, next my device rebooted, after which everything looked normal. But then after half a minute, the screen goes black and devices reboots by itself.
This repeats continuously: after boot, I have the home screen and I can use my device for around half a minute (response is very slow though), then it reboots.
In recovery mode in Clockworkmod, I did ‘wipe data/factory reset’ and ‘wipe cache partition’, both ended successfully. However, the problem of the reboot after about half a minute stays.
In the Tweaks app, I managed to deselect all tweaks (in between a couple of reboots...), but no positive effect: My devices keeps hanging after half a minute and then rebooting.
During every boot, after the boot animation during the glowing S, the phone vibrates once but then proceeds the boot up to the home screen...
1.) Did I select the wrong CF-root kernel zip file?
2.) Can anyone advise my on how to get my phone rooted and working again?
3.) Or is flashing the complete stock firmware the only option?
Many thanks in advance for help.

I will look into that and try to help!

AFAIK CF-root kernels are for Europian roms.

Hi there,
I got a similar syndrom with a BUJVB (french provider SFR).
My config is => SGS GT-I9000 - PDA: BUJVB - PHONE: BUJV3 - CSC: GSFRJV8
I finally rooted the gingerbread by a manual operation from the speedmod kernel (loading superuser and busybox from the speedmod CWM2.5, then resinstalling my original BUJVB kernel)
Anyhow, did you get a clue why some cf-root do not work properly?
What causes the systematic reboot phenomenon?

That CF-Root JVK is for XXJVK, ie. a Gingerbread 2.3.2 build. This build is a number of months old. Use a CF-Root that is built for JVH or JVI.

I recently rooted my gingerbread 2.3.3 ace. Would the same method work for my girlfriends 2.3.3 galaxy s? Thanks in advance.

Just trying again solves the problem. Its more of an odin problem then a cd root problem and if you have to blame cf-root then it is also samsung based Such as odin.
hit thankxx if i helped. sent from my mind through telepathy (ya its possible)!

i was in the same situation rebootloop - so i just flashed this and then everything is workin great.

How to go from stock->MIUI

Hello everyone at XDA, I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT i9000 from the store Mediamarket.
I want to have MIUI on my device, so I want to know exactly how to get it (how to root it, how to add cwm, add a custom rum, put miui in.. yeah everything I need).
Right now I got a stock rom, here is some info:
When i go to Settings-> About phone, i get this:
Code:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Basband version: I9000XXJVO
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813
[email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
When I call *#1234# i get this:
Code:
PDA: I9000XWJVH
PHONE: I9000XXJVO
CSC: I9000NEEJV3
Build Info: Wed May 4 18:03:59 KST 2011
So please everyone, tell me how to put MIUI inside (so I can understand it) of this awesome phone!

At first you have to have a Gingerbread-firmware as a base - you have that.
Then you need to flash a kernel that includes CWM (just flash it with Odin, you have to put the file into the PDA-field).
Last step: copy MIUI.zip onto your internal sdcard and flash it through CWM (install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> MIUI.zip -> Yes).

So first step is done just by doing nothing.. awesome
Do you mean I don't need to root? Can you give me a link to the kernel i should flash?
Can i flash this http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...tion-edition-10-1-gt-i9000-only-for-now.3237/ with Odin?

Well you can but that is a whole ROM not just a kernal, You can get darkcore from that website, or look at the kernals here which also has darkcore
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196704
This is a stock based kernal that i have used before, and from chainfire a v.reliable source, it should have what you need...

then flash the zip through recovery, but obviously follow the instructions from the thread you get the MIUI ROM from as it maybe be slightly different

[Q] [i9000]ESignature Vertification Failed

My Galaxy S
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I9000XXJVU
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XJVU-CL851880
Problem: I want to install MyICS 2.2.1.3 using the update mode of my phone, but when I go to install from SD card and I select the ZIP file, it says ESignature vertifaction failed.
I did install a previous rom before, but I can't install any other.. I am currently stuck and I do have Odin the 1.3v and the 1.8.2v, someone said I needed to root my CF, but I didn't not find any option in Odin to do that.
I would love to get this ROM running and I am also kinda a noob, when it comes too kernels.
How To Replace a Kernal?
How to Bypass or Disable the E-signature vertification
Thanks in advance ;D

Here is the cf-root thread. All info is in here - which cf-root file, how to do it with odin etc.

This will root your device and allow you install custom roms through CWM.

Problem with flashing cwm on GT P1000

Hello.I have Galaxy tab P100 with this characteristics:
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: P1000XXJMA
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.XWJMK
Tablet was routed or at least I think it is. It has superuser application and when I click on it, it looks like this:http://prntscr.com/3p9o2h
I want to flash the CWM and then Android 4.4.x but fail to flashing CWM's. I follow the tutorial and properly connect the tablet to a PC to Download mode, start Odin 1.7 pick .tar file in the PDA section and click Start button but flashing fails. Here's how Odin seems then: http://prntscr.com/3sil4y
Except that I do not make flashing do not make it even to properly disconnect the Download mode and the display quickly shows this picture: http://prntscr.com/3sin5u
Do you have any suggestion or do you can notice where am I wrong? Every kind of help is welcome
Thanks.

It's a Soft Bricked
Your tab is in Soft bricked, better use OneClick to unbrick yor tab

Yes, I do this and it is ok but still have problem with flashing.

Since you are in froyo, have you checked if your bootloader is protected?
If so, you need to patch it first.
Follow my signature to overcome thread.
The PDF guide also guide you on the protected bootloader issue.

version : 2.3.6
baseband: i9000DDJV7
build number: Gingebread.DDJVB
----------------------------------------------------
how can i root it and install a recent custom Rom ??

Install SpeedMod Kernel with Odin and choose the right version. If flashed go to the recovery Mode select SpeedMod Options and choose ROOT / Install Superuser. Then select the first option and reboot your phone.
