This is the best rom, at the moment. No WAY! Try to reinstall all (not with titanium) a made a full wipe. I'm sure because I go back now to this rom version after tried a new Akura, New coh, etc, much lag for me. This work perfectly with all stylus gadget, battery %, ics font, etc etc. Try again and post feedback.

Great work coh!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron_940:
I just got my phone back in September. I had known about rooting for quite a while and was interested in doing it to my phone and trying out some custom ROMs.

However, everywhere I look there seems to be many different ways to root. Superoneclick, Odin, and others. I just want to know how to go about this and also if it is possible to go back to the stock Samsung ROM and unroot if I don't like it. The main ROM I am considering is Cyanogenmod 7.1 as they just added official support for my device, but if there are any other good ones, let me know.

Phone info (I have the Bell I9000M, but it's on Virgin Mobile):

Model #: GT-I9000M

Firmware version: 2.3.3

Baseband version: I9000UGKG3

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3

Thanks for any help you can provide! :)

Read the stickies mate. All information that you seek is hidden in the stickies that you scrolled past to post your thread.....

I would NOT entertain attempting to flash cm7 until you know what you are doing.

You will get little sympathy for a thread such as "i've just tried to install cm7, now I've fxxked my phone and don't know what to do..... "

Get yourself odin and eclair jm9 from samfirmware.com - for when things go very wrong, then read, read, read.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron_940:
I looked through the stickied topics as well as several other posts on sites such as Android Forums before making this post. The massive How-to guide in the stickied topics seems to be primarily about rooting on 2.1 or 2.2, and I am on 2.3.

I was simply confused about the different methods of how to root, and made this post for clarification. I may be new to this but I do know things from all the forum topics and guides I have read so far.

What I don't know is which method works best for my device, and what I should be using to root in the first place. I have looked into Superoneclick and know that it works for the I9000, but don't know if it could work for mine. I figured someone here could answer that.

All I'm asking for is a few answers to the questions I have. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
To be honest, the i9000 and the i9000m are very similar devices. In fact, they're practically the same. For the most part, things that will work for the i9000 will work just fine for your device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansonator:
Definitely start with a custom samsung rom. Flash a custom kernel with odin, you have root. Super easy and almost idiot proof.

Back your **** up! Get titanium backup from the market and back up all your user apps. Take your time and do it right. Then go into recovery and do a backup from there.

Try a few roms out to get the feel for it. Unless your phone spews black smoke it is likely fixable. You will likely mess something up at some point, we all do at one time or another, but there are guides to walk you through getting back to square one.

Good luck. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron_940:
Any other tips or suggestions? I can't find any rooting guides that are specific to my device. How do I go about installing Cyanogenmod after I root?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Generally, if it works for the i9000, it will work for the i9000m.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron_940:
Ok, thanks for clarifying that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Yep, no problem. It's pretty confusing at first, especially since there are so many versions of the Samsung Galaxy S. The i9000 and the i9000m are quite similar; the Vibrant, Captivate, etc. are not. Feel free to use ROMs for the i9000 on your i9000m, unless it specifically says not to. But do not attempt to use anything for the other devices, such as flashing their firmware. That will just mess up your device. Oddly enough, when I got my i9000m, the box clearly said "Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant" on it—in multiple places. So without thinking, I flashed a Vibrant ROM onto my device. That gave me a whole lot of trouble and I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until later that I realized the barcode sticker on the box had the model listed as "i9000m". Why they would do this, I have no idea. But I can see how things get confusing with all the different models.

Anways, good luck! And have fun flashing. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adslee:
The Bell Vibrant (i9000m) is different than the T-Mobile Vibrant (which is also called the i9000m). That being said, the Bell Vibrant is compatible with almost all (if not all) of the International model's (i9000) firmware.

If you just want to root for now, I would recommend flashing Chainfire's kernal since it's close to the stock kernal and is a pretty good first step until you get the hang of this whole custom ROM stuff.

Hi, sorry to resurrect a dead thread but I have a question.

I decided to try rooting my phone a while back with SuperOneClick, and it worked. However, I'm not sure what to do here with regards to ROM Manager. Would it work if I tried to flash ClockworkMod Recovery through it, and then flash CyanogenMod?

I wish all this wasn't so confusing.

Switched to Mytouch 4G for a month... and now I'm back.

Flashing the latest MIUI.

I love it.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Of course I do, but its getting old. The forums are dieing everyone's leaving. We hardly have new development lately. The only thing keeping us alive are Cyanogenmod, MIUI, Explodingboy, JCC, and some others I forgot to mention. Everyones gone.

Why did you leave the Mytouch 4g?

Really every fourm is dieing g2x fourm is dieing an that fourm is new we don't need 1 mil devs there are phones without devs or forum we are very lucky an as long as there Is the I9000 we are alive an yea its getting old but I can do everything all these new phones can my only trouble is ram but now I have super charger so I'm good

I have to agree with you. My phone does everything i need it to. I just got my 1800mah battery a few days ago, so battery life is better. Also just installed v6 supercharger script and the phone is even more buttery smooth. Been checking out the sgs II forums and honestly nothing so far has made me want to change.
[Vibrant General] imitebewrong:

I was bartending last night and a guy at the bar had a (stock) Sprint SGS2. I played with it for a while, and damn, it was smooth. It did make me feel slightly jealous. :p

I love mine but I want to change to a newer one.

But alas, I'm stuck here until I get money for a new one.

so you think this problem is related to the games and not to the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
The only other thing I think it could be related to is a corrupt/missung texture, but that wouldn't explain why it happens to multiple (Gameloft) games.

You could try deleting /sdcard/gameloft/games/asphalt6 anyway and letting the game redownload the required textures, if you have a decent connection.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isavoro:
it worked by deleting the folder gameloft! i finally remembered that i used to play those games also on desire hd with the same microsd so maybe that caused an incompatibility... thank you!

Hello All,

I recently rooted my EVO3D using the HTCDEV method because the bootloader was version 1.5.

Here are the steps I followed to root (sorry for the copy and past but I want to be as detailed as possible)

Files Used

su 2.3.6.3

TWRP Recovery

Steps Taken:

1)Take both the su.zip and recovery.img files and put them in your sdk tools folder.

2)Now do the following in ur command prompt, hitting enter after each command.

3)Code:adb push recovery.img /sdcard/And,

4)Code:adb push su-2.3.6.3.zip /sdcard/Then,

5)Code:adb reboot bootloaderUr phone will go to fastboot and should look like the after picture above. Now you can flash the twrp recovery, so do,

6)Code:fastboot flash recovery recovery.imgIt will ouput something like this,

7)Code:sending 'recovery' <5068 KB>... OKAY////writing 'recovery'... OKAY///finished. total time: 11.355sNow you have twrp recovery, so you can navigate to it. On ur phone, use the power button to pick bootloader, then scroll down to recovery and pick that. You will then be booted into recovery.

8)Here you can pick "install zip" and then pick the "su-2.3.6.3.zip"

It will flash, the you can pick "back to main menu", then "reboot system now"

9)You will boot back up and have working Superuser. I have had no trouble with Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Quick Boot or any other app that requires root. Before you do too much, it would be good to go back to recovery and do a Nandroid backup. Always best to get one ready before you start modding anything.

All of this worked fine, and the phone was "unlocked."

Then, I flashed the most recent version of CleanRom (2.7)

Again, the phone worked fine, battery life was a little crappy.

I decided to flash Ziggy's kernel.I flashed the kernel simply by putting on the SD card, and then rebooting into recovery. This worked fine as well, but I noticed some of the buttons for example the menu popups displayed volume where it should have said more, or bluetooth options where it should have said preferences. so this is where the trouble started, I downloaded kernel manager, and flashed silverneedle through that program. Now, I am stuck at the White HTC Splash screen bootloop. The phone turns on and after 15 seconds reboots, and reboots, and reboots.

What Ive attempted:

I have done countless wipes and clears of the dalvik cache and cache

ive formatted the system and the date sections (advanced menu in twrp)

ive reflashed the rom after wiping countless times

ive tried flashing different kernels in recovery to no avail

factory reset and wipe havent helped

im not concerned losing the contents of the SD card

I need help because I already had two phone claims in the past 11 months, and if I claim another lost phone I will lose insurance for life with Asurion (sprint)

anytips or help would be greatly appreciated

i can provide any additional info

Similar situation, Not sure if you've already solved the problem but I'm going to copy paste my solution from another thread...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but this is a preety derp question. I've gone across the internet and tried a lot of reflashing to repair my sort of "bricked" evo. What happened, was that I had a evo 3d s-on htc bootloader unlocked, with custom recovery -clockwork..anyways I had flashed the leedroid 3d 4.0 rom and It worked the only problem was my wifi, so i attempted to flash another kernel onto it, but I had accidently flashed "Rcmix" kernel which I later found out was cdma =.=. so now my phone keeps rebooting at the htc screen, it would just load up with the green htc letters, then after 10 seconds or so it'd reboot, and then begin the process again. I can boot into bootloader and recovery but whatever I flash doesn't seem to work including restoring my backups...and then the battery died so i couldn't even charge it or go in. But i managed to work out I could load into bootloader from the CMD and the furthest i've gotten to is to have the bootloader show FASTBOOT USB. SO I must be getting somewhere...? I did read that i had to load from the cmd and not just from power+vol down..but I'd appreciate any help towards restoring my phone to the way it is or at least before i flashed the rcmix.

Just a note tho I've tried factory resetting but all i get is that it loads into recovery at the bootloader options i dont get "clear storage" as an option and "restore to factory settings" and what not just boots me into recovery agian.

EDIT:

I Managed to fix the phoneeee!!!..just for future preferences and anyone else who has this problem...

I followed bits and piece of IL DUCE's advice to izzy spun, the important part was booting the recovery from cmd. I wasn't able to "erase recovery" But I tried just booting it,

First I would remove the battery,

Put it back in,

Plug the usb cable in

1. Type command, from your Adb/fasboot folder, "adb reboot-bootloader"

2. After that I made sure my bootloader said "Fastboot USB", and then I issued the command, "fastboot boot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img" or with whatever recovery you had..

3. From there I restored from my backups my original rom. Rebooting, and fixed.

--- and It worked. At the time I was on clock work recovery, i only had the Revolutionary recovery img. Cwm-4.0.14.-shooteru.img to be exact,

after going in there I just cleared the cache and davlik and then, proceeded to restore my backups (I'm not sure if it would've worked if I had re-flashed the leedroid or a custom rom)

and then I simply rebooted the phone, and it got back into my phones original state before leedroid (as I had Only backedup before then)....

Apologies for the lengthly post, but I guess reading does help, but I've been going nuts before I managed to fix this. Just thought I'd leave this post incase someone were to need this.

Same problem

Hi there. I just recently joined so excuse my noobness but i have a similar problem. I recently just rooted my evo 3d sprint with the the boot 1.5 and everything went well. I decided i wanted to overclock my phone so i followed zeemaxs way. Before going into the overclock procedure i decided to do the the RCMIX Evo 3d kernel v. 2.2.3 first so i would have better results when done with the overclock procedure.I bootup the kernel through the recovery mode on the phone butit failed to load so i just reeboted. After that my wifi and 4g stopped working. So i downloaded an app on the market called "flash image GUI" which lets me flash the kernels through the app. I flashed the RCMIX kernel and rebooted and now im stuck ima boot loop. I COULD just go back and back up to my old rom and settings etc...........but the problem is i dintmake any kind of back up or recovery i think. I know i know im stupid and an idiot but i just sort of panicked n ended up with this. If anyone can help please tell me.I do not want to pay for a new phone at full price. PLEASE HELP THIS POOR NOOB!!!!! X(

Similar problem :(

Hi everyone!

I have a kind of similar problem, so I won't post it in a new thread.

Yesterday I rooted my phone following this guide: androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot . html (i am not allowed to post links to prevent spam).

I unlocked it with htcdev and installed a custom ROM without getting any errors. After restarting the phone, it got into a boot loop; it showed the starting animations of htc and the ROM and then shut down again.

Here some more information:

-Evo 3d Europe gsm

-hboot 1.5

-s-on

-image version 3.28.401

-installed ROMs using clockworkrecoverymod (as proposed in guide)

I have tried these ROMs (all leading to boot loop):

ICS NonSense

Cyanogen Mod 10 – DisarmedToaster (v. 1.4 and 1.5)

Jelly Bean 3d (by Ubuntuz)

SAD 2.1 DEsenseX

I installed the ROMs by doing:

Connect device via usb > flash boot.img via fastboot (from pc) > clear Cashe/UserData/DalvikVM > install rom.zip from sdcard > reboot

I really don't know what to try :(

Any ideas how I could install a running Android OS are highly appreciated.

Thx for any help :)
