I am in a pickle here. I want to try this as my first custom ROM made especially for bell users.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846237
However I am on froyo with JK3 which has a 3e recovery console. Several threads on the board point me to this kernel to enable 2e recovery console which is required for this custom ROM install.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
However it doesnt appear to me that this can be used by jk3 users. I am really new to this and have spent several hours reading. Am I wrong or am i missing something ?
My phone reads as follows:
PDA: I9000UGJK3
PHONE: I9000UGJK3
CSC: I90000BMCJK3
FIRMWARE VERSION 2.2
KERNAL VERSION 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Any help would be much appreciated. I have read over 200 pages on the forum tonight alone and I am stuck
Thx
A lot of people have been there You have 2 options:
1) Flash an older firmware known to use 2e. The easiest thing to do is probably flash JH2 using Odin. JH2 was the last 2.1 official firmware for Bell. Get it from samfirmware.com
2) Flash a kernel that allows you to run clockwork. Check this post of mine where I installed SpeedMod on JK3.

I don't know what others would say but it might be better for your app data to stay with Froyo 2.2. In that case, go with option 2. Be sure to backup your data just in case
Good luck with that ROM. On my phone, I'm running his Doc RomMOD v2 (JPU) and it's great!
what am I missing ? I thought that if you have jk3 on your phone you could only apply jk3 roms and kernels? is that incorrect ?
Some, kernels and root solutions are not compatible with all firmwares. If you're not concerned with data loss, I believe you can flash any firmware you want (ignoring device specific requirements).
The options I described above are ones that worked for me.
Iam from Germany and iam using the german Kies! But i have installed trough spooffw and UK Version of GIngerbread 2.3.3 because in Germany the GIngerbread Update trough Kies wsa not available. But today it started i saw in the internet. So i need to get back to Stock german Froyo so that the german Kies indentify it and update it but which is this stock german Froyo 2.2 Rom?
Thank your very much for you considerations
Flash back to your stock Eclair 2.1 (Choose the right file depending on your region go to this website samfirware.com), and then upgrade via Kies.
Ok i will test it hopefully i get the right Rom from samfirmware.com
Rooting Gingerbread on my SGS
Hello folks,
first of all I really appreciate the work you put in here to satisfy the community with all the helpful apps and stuff. TY!
Well, it came to the point that I used Kies to update my Germanish SGS i9000 (O²) and the only thing I miss now is the root access to get rid of some really unwanted and memory eating apps.
I used SuperOneClick on Froyo and earlier versions which worked great but seems this is not working on 2.3.3 anymore. Well, I was reading the guide on how to install this CF Kernel but I got scared because others seems to have some reboot issues after doing so. I have to admit that I really don't have much clue about all the Odin pushes and Kernel stuff, and the more I try to understand, the more I get confused (I might blame it only on my age tho^^).
Is there anyone out here that could just guide me to the right CF download for my SGS? That would really help me alot.
Another question would be, after changing the Kernel, can this mess up upgrading to a newer firmware in the future? Do I have to install the original kernel before?
Model: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.3.3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427
I downloaded an Eclair Rom from Samfirmware.com but i cant flash it on my sgs i9000 so i decided to flash an Gingerbread 2.3.3 JVO from samfirmware. IS that an official Gingerbread or an customized?
If you want to root under Gingerbread you need to flash another Kernel e.g from Supercurio. Get ODin 1.3 and search in development section for an Kernel and flash it then you ahev superuser rights
Hello to all,
can anyone please advise, which file should i install that would suit my firmware best !
Model number:GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000XXJVO
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000BOJV8-CL273008 root DELL154 #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BOJV8
I really appreciate if anyone could help me.
Thanks to all
Try the CF-Root kernel.
Sent from hell to take your soul
Thank you, Lunchbox for your fast reply !
But there are many CF-Root-Kernels.
Which one is the right ?
Sorry, but I am a newbie in Kernel-choice....
if you cant be bothered flashing kernels etc here is the the superoneclick method...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuaXu8kusvA
just follow that and you will be rooted, then get titanium backup and do a batch backup
Use CF-Root for the JPO firmaware you have. Each kernel has the firmware extension at the end of its file name.

Superoneclick I have testet, but without success .
Does kernel JPO really fit my kernel JV8 ??
Same problem here.
After updating a t-mobile branded I9000 to 2.3.3 via KIES (including wipe) my programs and settings are gone.
All data has been saved in TitanBackup. Unfortunatly TB needs root.
SOC didn't work, now I'm looking for alternatives.
Heard, that cf-root can fix my prob, but still got following questions:
will cf-root work on my branded galaxy?
which cf-root version do I need?
Screeningsleeper
Is there no solution available ?
As far as I know it is possible to root the Galaxy with the FuguRoot.
One thing that is still missing is the correct Odin flashable stock kernel.
Till now there is no kernel for the I9000BOJV8 available at Samfirmware.
I'll keep looking for the kernel.
Hoping to get a quick solution.

Odin 1.82: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1IKLKDPB
Just open Odin, put the tar file as PDA, put the phone in download mode, plug it in, wait for the box under ID:COM to go yellow and the 'added!' message and hit start. It will be done in a few seconds. Install superuser and busybox from the market to see if it works.
Like I said earlier it didn't work right away for me, superuser just FC'd on the first boot. Not sure if it was reflashing or rebooting that fixed it. Just a warning that some tinkering might be required.
OK, Problem solved.
Using the Easy rooting toolkit created by DooMLoRD from here.
Works like a charm for my Galaxy I9000 (PDA I9000BOJV8, Phone I9000XXJVO, CSC I9000GDTMJV7) wih german T-Mobile branding.
Rooting took 3 Minutes, no Problems with this.
Need root only for backup
Hello xda-developers.com
I need some help according to this title "Need root only for backup" I hope I am here correctly.
My problem is:
The Phone turns automatically off without doing anything.
I started it but it get's in a loading loop.
I don't want to make a reset until I backup the data from my phone contacts, pictures etc...
I read in an other forum that it is posible to flash only the kernel via ODIN CF-ROOT_....
to activate some mounts & storage - usb in recovery. So the PC can use the phone as USB device to copy all data from the phone to the PC. Is this correct?
If yes i will need the correct CF-ROOT for this version below i tryed to find the CF-ROOT for this version but I did not find it for my version. Can you help me please?
My phone can load the download mode.

If not which other possibilities do i have to Backup the data from the phone to my Pc?
I need the data the contacts and the rest of the files because its my business phone and i don't have the acctual backup of the phone
After I've saved my data I will flash the phone to one of the newest versions.
I hope that someone can help me with this problem :S

THANKS A LOT!!
The version *-v1.1* doesn't matter?
what means v1.1, Froyo v1.1?
USB storage in recovery mode not listed
Hello
I flashed the Kernel with CF-Root-JPK-v1.1 but i can not activate the USB storage in recovery mode. It's not listed.
Is this not possible or why is this not listed?
If backup my data in this way is not possible.
How can I backup my data from the Phone when the Phone is in a boot loop? :S

Hiya all, first post
Here's an old one...i want to root my galaxy note ...
My model is gt-n7000 running android 2.3.6
Baseband n7000xxla4
Kernel LA6
Build gingerbread.xxla6
Even though many of you more technically advanced may find it very easy i have trawled the net & YouTube & just do not know what way to safely go about it!
It's so simple to download a set of files & it does look easy to do but there are a few different ways,
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks in advance

For firmware KL7 or later you can't root directly. So you need to flash as stock, but pre-rooted ROM using PC Odin for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352945&referrerid=4386116
After this, flash a Kernel that has CWM 5 and is compatibel to CF Root Kernel (with Mobil ODIN - see market) like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1342807
Just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M (Bell) using Root Unlock. Have superuser and ROM Manager installed (recently found that ROM manager incompatible for flashing new ROM's) Error msg - E: failed to verify whole file signature
My understanding now is that I would be better rooting using CF-Root with a customized kernel for my Gingerbread 2.3.3 build (haven't found one yet but see several options for 2.3.5)
Question: Assuming that I can find and install an appropriate kernel via Odin, do I need to restore my phone to OEM (unrooted) before I can head down the path of a CF-Root or can I install a new kernel on my phone as it exists in its rooted condition?
Any info or direction would be greatly appreciated.
If you want to flash a new ROM anyways, you can just flash a kernel via Odin. You will have to wipe everything before the ROM flash.

Do I need a kernel specific to my firmware version? Or can I install say, a Gingerbread kernel of a different version like 2.3.5? I see several options for downloads for this one, but not for the 2.3.3 version that I have currently installed. There was one link I found for a 2.3.3 kernel but it was no longer available on megaupload.
If I can and do opt for another kernel, when you say wipe everything... that includes the partition as well?
Thanks much for the reply, I'm really just getting started with all the in's and out's of rooting.
Thusfar, it seems to be a bit intensive for this particular Galaxy model compared to the all the success stories I'm seeing on later phones and OS versions.
