Try the CF-Root kernel.

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...

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.

I also upgraded FW from 2.2 to 2.3.3 via kies last week and lost my root - but flashed this to my phone and got root back. link to where to get it:

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.

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

[Q] Root lost after update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6

Hi all. I rooted my 2.3.5 note and all was fine until I updated to 2.3.6 via kies. In "about phone" in settings it still mentions root however Superuser doesn't work, nor will Titanium Backup. I used Dr Ketan's guide to root ( thanks Dr ) have tried to unroot and reroot but nothing appears to work. Otherwise phone is functioning fine. Can some kind soul help me sort my issue out please?

2.3.5 and 2.3.6 is not sufficient to describe ROM
what rom you were using first which was rooted, N wat ROM you have got updated
Describe Baseband version
Kernel version
from setting - about phone
And it is naturally when you update via kies, you will lose Root
You have to ReRoot, n that depends on which ROM you are having Now

Update
It seems that SU binary files have gone missing! Reinstalling Superuser has had no effect - Doh. Still need help!

Hi Dr.
Original baseband N7000DXKJ3 now N7000DXKL2
Original kernel N7000DXKK1 now N7000DXKL3
Kernel version states - [email protected]#2
Thanks

Ya many time i have seen this strange things happens in KL3, it reacts just like KL7/8/LA1, which are non rootable.
Once hard reset device and try to Root, if not success then Reflash to Old ROM
You will get Root easily on that.
Get Mobile Odin Pro from market, then Flash KL3 with Mobile Odin, n keep option 'Ever Root'Enabled.

Thanks for the quick response. I only wanted root to enable me to use Titanium Backup so I could freeze all the bloatware etc. I didn't want to use mobile Odin so if I had to send back my phone I could unroot it without affecting the flash counter or whatever it is, and have no probs with samsung service. As it stands phone works ok and bloatware still frozen but unable to unroot if I do have to return it. Also if I hard reset do I lose all my data? I was using Titanium to backup but that is obviously no longer working. Is there any way to restore SU binary files?
Kind Regards

if not mistaken, u can use USB Jig to reset that flash counter.

How can I reflash old rom when i cant use a root app and kies doesn't have an option to revert to old rom?

Read second link of my signature, Stock ROM for N7000
You just get old ROM from there and flash it with PC Odin.
These are Stock ROM, it wont give you yellow triangle or raised counter

Yes hard reset will erase all data
No other way without Root
Mobile Odin wont raise binnary counter
Any time you can back to stock(for warranty purpose) by flashing stock ROM with PC odin

As it is often mentioned that the KL7 is not directly rootable, I was wondering if in the near future it will be? I'd hate to flash my Note as I've already set up things the way I like (for now!). Just want to add some stuff, like titanium and ubuntu, that needs root.

@toadski how was your flashing of the old FW?

i want to downgrade by firmware back to 2.3.5 but i dont know what file to download. i cant remember my kernel version when i had my 2.3.5. can anyone help? this is what i have right now:

Question about flashing N910TUVU2DOK2 Firmware/Baseband

I'm running an N910T with Rapture 8.2. As this ROM apparently isn't under development or support any longer, I'd like to move to another ROM that is. I'd also like to update my baseband to N910TUVU2DOK2. To update the baseband, do I need to ODIN back to stock and upgrade from there, or can I simply ODIN the baseband and move forward? I believe that I'm currently on COG1, but can't tell because I'm running a backup just now.

You always need to Odin to the full firmware that matches the ROM you want to use. Please keep in mind that once you go to 5.1.1, you'll be stuck on lollipop bootloader.

Thanks! Should I ODIN to stock, or straight to the new ROM? I rooted and flashed my old note 2 gobs of times, but the note 4 I'm not that sure about.

You use Odin to put stock firmware on and to root and add TWRP. You use TWRP to flash ROM's.

I have gone back and forth between 5.1.1, 5.0.1, and 4.4.4 roms by using odin to flash the COG2, COD6, or ANK4 firmware first, then using odin to flash autoroot and TWRP. Then use TWRP to flash the desired rom. I have no problem going from lollipop to kitkat and back. I have used the COG2 firmware for all the 5.1.1 roms, like Texxodus, Resurrection, Slim, CM12, etc. I have used COD6 for 5.0.1 like Alliance, I have used ANK4 for Firekat. I have never had a problem reverting between any of them.
Why is DOK2 different? Does it trip some kind of hardware switch, like knox? If I was on it and used odin to flash, say, the kitkat firmware, what happens? Does odin no longer work when you're on DOK? Does it crash? Does the flash appear to work but it stays on DOK? Does it flash the firmware but bootloop? Does it brick the phone? I always thought that odin flashed firmware to the lowest level so that as long as you could connect the phone to a PC and had a good firmware load, you could restore it.

No Network / IMEI Null / Please insert Sim after flash

I haven't flashed anything in over a year, maybe even two. But I had a custom rom on my Note 4 forever, and just flashed the beastmode kernel and Tekxodus Hybrid N4, and everything works but my IMEI is null and I have no network. I have tried a few apps, any suggestions? I just used Odin to flash stock rom, and I get a boot loop, so I re-rooted, installed TWRP, and re-flashed Tekxodus. Same issue with IMEI. Is my IMEI corrupted / ****ed? ANY suggestions would help, I really need to use my phone tomorrow..

You have to update your baseband and bootloader to 5.1.1 with odin

Thank you! I actually figured that out a few minutes ago when I was looking through everything. I figured it had to be the baseband/modem, or had I just broken something.
Short fix was: Flashed FireKat4, supports my baseband.
I'll odin to stock, root, twrp, upgrade baseband, and then install tek. What a wasted 16 hours of worrying on this **** :3

N910T with Mismatched Baseband & Build

All,
I bought a replacement T-Mobile N910T Note 4 and oddly it arrived with a mismatched Baseband and Build. On my old N910T, the Baseband and Build are both aligned at EPJ2.
Baseband: N910TUVU1COD6
Build: MMB29M.N910TUVS2EPG2
It will not take an OTA. It is marked as up to date in Samsung SmartSwitch.
Even more weirdly, according to the TMo software update page, this combination is not even possible - https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28899
Any suggestions for how to get my firmware and Baseband updated?
Or better, how I would get firmware updated and then TWRP installed?
Thanks.
James

Did you try using ODIN from a Windows PC? I believe that should overwrite everything and leave your USER partition intact.

I have not tried an ODIN from the PC without getting some advice here because I purchased a prior device with a similar mismatched Baseband and Build that when I tried to ODIN bricked with a bootloop.
Any suggestions on what version to attempt to ODIN? COD6? EPG2? EPJ2? Other?
Thanks.

All, I was able to resolve this mismatch.
I used Kies (not version 3), connected the phone, then from Kies menu selected Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, when prompted entered the model SM-N910T and the device serial number.
Its a slow process to do the install but it did install and install the latest EPJ2 version!
