[Galaxy S I9000 General] rubberman542:
I just upgraded too.

Works good for me too (actually seems faster from the get-go and I like the new status bar design).

Unfortunately One Click Root is not working for me either.

There are some instructions on how to get it to work already on komugi.net but they are beyond my abilities.

Unfortunately XDA won't let me post direct links yet so here are the instructions copied directly from the site

In Japanese...

この画面を見た時は＼ｵﾜﾀ／と思ったのですが生きてました。

・やり方

1. アップデートのdecode済みファイルを入手する。

2. boot.bin と Sbl.bin を抜いてリパックする。カーネル単体のも作る。

3. リパックしたファイルを Odin3 で flash

4. 適当な rootカーネルを Odin3 で flash

5. リカバリモードから suコマンドを送り込み chmod 6755 su する。

（ドコモロゴで止まった場合でもadb shellから操作可能）

6. Odin3で純正カーネルをflashする。

7. 起動後に root になって Superuser.apk とか busybox とか入れる。

8. おわり。

・問題点

リカバリモードに入れない。

毎回起動時に↑画像のように画面が乱れる。

（画面が乱れるのはbootloaderを更新していない事が原因の模様）

・追記

bootloaderのアップデートを行っても特に問題無く「4.」以降の作業が行える事を確認した。

この場合問題点は全て解決される。

従来のCWMはRecoveryの仕様が変わったため使用不可。

English Translation (from Excite)...

It lives and [mashita] . though thought ＼ [owata]/when this screen is seen.

･Way

1. The file that is decode of the update is obtained.

2. With boot.bin Sbl.bin is pulled out and [ripakku]ed. The kernel unit is made.

3. The [ripakku]ed file With Odin3 Flash.

4. It is suitable The root kernel With Odin3 Flash.

5. From the recovery mode The su command is sent Chmod 6755 su is done.

(It is possible to operate it from adb shell even when stopping in the DoCoMo logo. )

6. Flash does a pure kernel with Odin3.

7. After it starts Become root Superuser.apk Busybox is put.

8. End.

･Problem

It doesn't put it in the recovery mode.

The screen falls into disorder like ↑ image when starting every time.

(It is a pattern that the screen falls into disorder caused by the thing that bootloader has not been renewed. )

･Postscript

The thing that it was possible to work especially unquestionably since "4." even if bootloader was renewed was confirmed.

In this case, all problems are solved.

Because the specification of Recovery changed, past CWM cannot be used.

Hopefully someone will figure out a simpler method soon or dumb it down a bit for me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] user9988:
Yeah. . . Looks rather complicated. I'm hoping for something that can be undone as well, but alas. I may have to finally study up on using Odin and all that jazz.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dejanet:
Chainfire's cf root method can be used to root this version with one additional step. After flashing and booting one time Chainfire's cf kernel you will have to go back to download mode and re-flash the original ke3 kernel. This will leave you with busybox, su, and superuser install in the correct places. You will not have 2e recovery or cwmod and there will be a couple of Chainfire's utilities that won't work on our kernel that you should be able to uninstall. Since none of his kernels are the same as ours I used the newest one from around post 6. I've done this a couple of times and it seems to work well. As always I take no responsibility if you brick your phone. I have attached the original ke3 kernel the tar file inside the attached zip may take a long time to flash possibly because I made it in 7zip instead of booting ti Linux to make it properly.

If your not comfortable playing with Odin and flashing phones I recommend waiting on someone to come up with a safer process.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] user9988:
Thanks for the tips dejanet...

I gave it a try using CF-Root 3.7 and my SC-02B is stuck in a startup loop now... Maybe I did something wrong though? I don't need to select a PIT file in Odin, do I?

I'll give it another go with an older version of CF-Root, but if you have a specific version that you know works and any tips, that'd be great.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dejanet:
I used the newest one. And you for sure don't want to use a pit file or repartition. You might want to flash back to the ke3 kernel first.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] user9988:
OK! Had to reset my phone to factory once for some reason, but then I was able to flash just as you suggested and it worked fine this time. No looping.

Maybe there was something dirty in the system that was interferring? Maybe I should have tried clearing cache from recovery instead of just restoring to factory first...

Anyway:

Used Cf-root 3.7 flashed PDA with Odin once, rebooted... no baseband..

Used the stock kernel you provided (thank you very much) flashed PDA with Odin and done.

SC-02B 2.3.3 version KE3 Rooted!

(Only really sad thing about resetting to factory was that I hadn't been able to run Titanium Backup without root, so I lost all my Angry Birds progress since the 7th. (T_T) ... some lost spmode emails too, but no big deal.)

rooted 2.3.3 gps problem

My sc-02b rooted 2.3.3 but gps cannot work. I used Angrygps/GPS status/GPS test to connect the satellite, but it's all failed. I also followed the instruction to set up angrygps and gps.conf. Any one know what happen? Is it caused by rooted rom?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dejanet:
Glad you we're able to get root working. Can't think of anything in the root process that would break GPS I rarely use it with this phone sine it has never worked well for me I'll play with it tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] user9988:
I'll test GPS too next time I go outside (not till 8pm tonight though).... my work desk isn't close enough to the window to get a GPS signal...

Never even thought to try that and see if it was working. Definately an important feature on the weekends.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rubberman542:
Quick and easy and works like a charm! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dejanet:
I got a chance to test the GPS and seems to be working ok for me. The one thing I did do was use gps status to reset the assist data.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stan0621:
Have you changed the setup of Angrygps and gps.cong(system/etc)?

Compared to 2.2.1, GPS function on 2.3.3 is useless for me.

Is there anyone know how to optimize it?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Guys, I am stuck in a bootloop after flashing latest CF-root then flashed back original kernel. How can I fix it without reflashing the whole kernel? I have tried flashing the original kernel provided by Dejanet many times but to no avail.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bebert218:
hello people, long time no see

I myself got the upgrade to gingerbread 2 days ago, and rooted that evil thing yesterday, using CF kernel

well, as I was expecting, that damn CWM just wiped away my mmcblk0p3 partition (fortunately I have a dump) so some original apps don't work anymore, but those were expendable

odd enough, I don't even have root access when using the shell in recovery, get some segfault at best

bad news is that I don't have the sources for Samsung's version of the kernel, so I'm not even able to make my own recovery-2e :(

it's very annoying to see all the good work done by the community that we're not even able to enjoy... sigh
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ngsb:
Can you please post the sc-02b OMKF2 Kernel? I already update to the latest version. Last time I follow your selotion. Is worked well. Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Airfaire:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] thaikinh:
Is there a way to update my SC-02B to Gingerbread without Kies because my Kies says the update is not available for this phone or something???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:
Yeah KF2 rooted kernel would be very very nice :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
so far I have my KF2 rooted and working nicely

what is it that you don't understand to get it working ?

basically, for my part:

- updated using ODIN

- backed up the original kernel

- applied CFRoot to have the SuperUser app working

- overwrite the kernel with the one I backed up

- removed all the crap from Samsung

- here you go !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:
Ah so I need to save the original kernel, somehow missed that part.

Which CFRoot kernel did you use for the intermediate part?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
I used that one, though I think you can use a more recent one without any problem

CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS

as for the kernel backup, I think I have one somewhere, if you're interested
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:
Even easier, found a KE3 rooted kernel from Japanese forums, so...

flash rooted ke3 with odin

check that superuser works

update to kf3 via "about phone - software update"

works =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
where did you find it ? out of curiosity ? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:
This is the page lifescape.seesaa.net/article/226112141.html and describes the procedure in nice easy japanese so even I can understand

You can find the URL for the download from there, but here it is anyway www1.axfc.net/uploader/B/so/B_86088.zip
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
just a question for you ~

does this kernel-daddy include clockworkmod-recovery ? if so, I guess the hidden partition in your sd doesn't work anymore ? (the one for the japanese dict.)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:
clockworkmod doesn't seem to be in the app drawer at least, and the recovery mode is the standard samsung recovery.

I don't use the dictionary myself so wouldn't know if it's broken :)

I finally got my SC-02b rooted thanks to the info here. I had been unable to do wifi tethering for the last few weeks. Thanks for the info guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wrook:
Me too. It's a life saver. I think since this is my first post I can't do thank yous yet, but I really appreciate it. I tried the cf-root method and got myself into a continuous boot loop too. Nothing I did seemed to fix it. I restored to a previous backup, upgraded through kies again and then used the rooted rooted kernel. It seems to work great.

I realized now that what I really want is something like cyanogenmod. I hate this idea of having to jump through hoops rooting the phone everytime I want to upgrade. But I don't think anyone is working on SC02B. Even here there is virtually no discussion of it, it seems.

Are there any Japanese sites which discuss development on this platform (apart from that useful blog posting...) Obviously there is *some*development going on, but googling around just seems to find me random blogs... no central site.

Anyway, thanks again!

I've rooted other Android phones, but can't quite follow what people have done that works for the SC-02B here. Can anyone give detailed instructions? I'd really appreciate it! Even basic things like where to find Odin are not obvious to me, since when I rooted my old HTC Magic it didn't need any special software. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] IparryU:
I am in the same boat you are in...

I was reading up on galaxy[dot]anddo[dot]net

(cannot post links yet... MOD, my apologies if the above link workaround is a no no)

but still cannot find out the process...

Model: SC-02B

Firmware: 2.3.6

Baseband: SC02B0MKL2

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-SC02BOMKL2-CL784355

se.infra@SEI-47 #2

Build: GINGERBREAD.OMKL2

I am posting in the mention forum as well to get a solid answer... if anyone can confirm their process this would help the SC-02B community out!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:
Well you need the zip file I mentioned in the earlier post to get down to 'rootable' version and then flash it with odin.

I do notice the link for the zip doesn't work anymore, it's been removed. I'll check if I have it at home still and put it in a dropbox. If not, well, gomenne...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] IparryU:
if you can let me know what files are in it... I am more than happy to hunt them down.

But I will make a SC-02B root procedure for dummies (me included) for future reference... next is to figure out what roms are flashable, etc... I keep finding stuff I want to do but always run into posts about SC-02B models are not ok to do...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:
I already upgraded to sc-04d :) So which actually means I have sc-02b for just playing around...

But sc-04d is SO easy to root it's not even funny. Just adb oem unlock and the adb boot <specialbootimage> and you're done. And all the ROM's work... (running aokp right now ;) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] IparryU:
that is my next phone upgrade and i will give this phone to my wife... which there is no need to root...

but i just want to root my phone for now and then get the nexus when it is cheaper...

so from my understanding thus far...

1. flash to OMKF2

2. root

3. flash to newest firmware

4. ...

5. GOAL

... not sure if that is even halfway correct, i read the previous posts but the links with the file to flash are gone and I dont want to gamble this as my phone is a mjor source of my work right now...

specific details would be much appreciated!

sorry for my paranoid approach to this... reading helps... but not enough to give it a go when I halfway understand a quarter of what is supposed to be done.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:
Found the file, it's at dl.dropbox.com/u/6056469/SC02BOMKE3_Daddy.tar.rar

That's the mke3 image for sc-02b and it's already rooted (I can't remember if it has superuser app already in, if not it's just a quick market download away...).

Anyway you need to follow the link to the instructions (in japanese) on my earlier post, it tells you how to use the odin properly and where to download it.

After that you can do (in the phone itself) about->software update and it will just update the firmware without actually flashing the whole system so you get to keep your 2.3.x update and root.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] IparryU:

yes. I just did it the other day trying to solve a Status 7 error when flashing CM9.

I dont know about the network lock... I have Docomo and never tried another carrier... please confirm this so other people can know too.

If you manage to flash another ROM that works (and SIM card is detected) please post! I spent 4 days trying to find a ROM that works... but no go yet :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wesker5131:
i'm afraid to flash other rom, I scare later my phone become sim lock forever. because i saw something they teach to unlock via code number. but that one for 2.2 only. i do not dare to try on 2.3. :(

---------- Post added at 06:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

By the way, the CM9 that you mention is specially made for SC-02B? or ROM for I9000?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] wesker5131:
IparryU, how is it? everything ok on your device? The only thing I afraid is the sim not detected. If I follow ur steps then later get SIM not detected, then i will doom! lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] IparryU:
will continue this in the other thread. Since it is not Gingerbread, best discussed in the proper forum for other people who search.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Just for those who are interested in giving it a try, if you value your rooted rom, don't update to the Value Pack (LC4). It seems that it's impossible to go back to KL4 after the upgrade, and since Kyappa hasn't released a CWM kernel image yet, don't hurry.

As for the upgrade itself, it's pretty disappointing, since it looks exactly the same like before. I guess a few apps have been upgraded, but nothing that justifies losing root on your handset as far as I can tell.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blosphere:
Just a quick note to anybody who might discover this thread:

I still have the SC-02B and it has been relegated to bicycle navigation duties (without sim card, works fantastically in navigating the dark alleyways of Tokyo) but JB on my galaxy nexus is tempting... so I decided to upgrade to at least 4.0.4 on the SC-02B.

I had returned the device back to official image, no root, nothing. Now I wanted my root back and well, things were not working as they were previously. Just using Odin to flash the KE3 rooted ROM to get back to situation where I have freedom to flash whatsoever started causing troubles. After flashing the handset would just be in a busy loop and no amount of re-flashing seemed to help.

The trick was to hold the menu-power-UP arrow when it's doing its first boot after flashing and then you get the cwm-like menu where you can wipe everything. After wipe it booted just fine and now I have root... soon CWM and 4.0.4, maybe JB later ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Glad that you're happily using your handset with Cyanogen. I actually flashed it myself a couple of months after having my SC02B, but it seems that the kernel doesn't work well on the SC02B hardware, so I basically lost all the phone+sim parts. Not really useful for a phone, isn't it ?

Seems that there is no activity anymore on the front of custom kernels (at least, found nothing for the latest upgrade, so impossible to get root on it), that's why I'm staying on the 2.3.5 version until now... a little frustrating if you want my opinion :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] IparryU:
CWM is possible... but I have yet to get any ROM or 4.0.4 working... as bebert218 said, hardware wont work and we are left in the dust.

I had lots of trouble with this, for all you other clueless people...

1. Boot into a 2.1 sense rom.

2. Make sure your prl is on the root of your SD card.

3. Download msl reader from the market.

4. Open the app and find your msl code.

5. Dial ##775# in the dialer and use the MSL code as the password.

6. A screen pops up I think it says update prl. Click on it.

7. On the next screen select your prl from your SD card and press ok.

8. Go back to the screen you were on before, press the menu button and press commit modifications. It should reboot. You are finished.
[Hero CDMA General] Drachen808:
I am going to clarify step one since this is the one that I had the most problem with. Not ALL 2.1 sense roms will have the ability to process the ##prl# command so you have to find one which does. If you don't have a nandroid backup of your stock rom, then the one that I use is fresh 2.4 (it is available for DL through rom manager). I hope that helps.

Also, if I am not mistaken, don't you have to (after the reboot) update your profile by using ##3282#?
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
Correct on the not all 2.1 roms will provide the ##prl# command. Personally I use ZenHero. BUT if all you want to do is get the newest prl just load any 2.1 rom and update it. The ##prl# command is mainly for loading custom prls and or older ones.

But you don't have to use ##3282#

afterwards. I just loaded 60679 and it stuck without updating profile. Ymmv though.
