I've tried asking them a dozen times, but they keep giving me the runaround / playing dumb. Stuff like "contact your carrier," or "you have the latest firmware."

By all means, everyone, please try! But I don't have high hopes.

It's strange, because that ramdisk is what was generated by building the SGH-I927 platform code against Android 2.3.5, so I thought it would have been complete. But I guess I'm missing something, because you're right... /lib isn't a separate filesystem.. must live on the ramdisk. Odd, because the kernel package is built separately, so modules wouldn't make it in anyway.

Anyway, even without those modules, it should still boot; they're just bluetooth and something SCSI related.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
I have a great news!!!

Here is the firmware !!!

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=SGH-I927&r=5#regiona

But personally I would based any dev on the canadian version avalaible here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=SGH-I927R&r=1

As it does not have any traces of CarrierIQ
[Samsung Captivate Glide] radrcanada:
Have to click on Region "North America" for the Canadian Rogers version to actually show up, or click edited link below :)

Thanks CarpeNoctem for the links!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
unfortunately no boot.img and the password is "samfirmware.com"

This should help to install SU and hopefully have the info for the ramdisk
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Hi is someone ready to try different procedure and flashing to root this phone ?

it does not involve flashing the kernel so we should be able to roll back if something goes wrong

Any volunteers ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] rflnc1:
i'll try it...but i won't be home for a few hours
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Cool lets wait and see if ardatdat can get something prepared and finally get this device rooted!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Anybody here willing to take some risks and potentially have this thing done ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Rockwig:
I'm sure if you posted the steps that you want done, somebody would be brave enough to attempt it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Outstanding!

I'm picking it apart now; I hope to have a rooted firmware available shortly.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Are you willing to try to flash the rooted firmware and report back ?

Also if it works I would need you to extract the boot.img

Can you do that ?

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

I would prefer to test that on some very specific people irst dont want to be responsible for 200 bricked devices :)

I already bricked my phone trying to go too fast and now until we extract the boot.img, I can't recover... I/ we need volunteers

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

Nobody's courageous enough ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Rockwig:
How confident are you that this won't brick my device? :-)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Hold on guys. I just repacked the stock Rogers firmware with /system/xbin/su, and I'm about to flash my device.

Wish me luck.

CarpeNoctem, if this works, I'll pull the boot image for you.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Rockwig:
Good luck!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Very honestly I am very confident, I would say 90% chance to succeed and that is an understatement, but I may be wrong, I just want to let you know

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

If it works please extract the boot.img!! I need this so deadly ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Getting closer..

Firmware flashed successfully, shows the rogers logo for a while, but then dumps into recovery mode.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
feel like trying the version I have ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Ladies and gentlemen,

We are in business. The SGH-I927R is rooted!

Give me a few minutes to clean things up, throw together some instructions, and upload my image. I should have the kernel / boot image shortly.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE in this thread! This was a real team effort all around!

Go team! :cool:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Great News!! please, extract the boot.img so my phone can be back to life and I can start trying to have the canadian kernel insead of this crappy att kernel
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Hang tight; I'm working on it. Unfortunately I wiped my data partition trying to figure out what was wrong before, and I'm still getting my SSH, utils all set back up.

This is a Rogers kernel though; it should be fine, but.. not 100% sure. Fingers crossed.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Cool, now the last thing we need is CWM and we are really to roll
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Ok, I'm not 100% sure this is the right partition, but try it. You'll have to unpack & tar it first.

EDIT If that doesn't work, try boot2.zip
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
trying right now

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

none f them

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Here are the instruction I was given:

In terminal, type:

su

cat proc/partitions

You will a list listing out mmcblk0p0, mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2, .....

Try to find out a partition with 8192 (or 8xxx) in size. For Galaxy R, the partition is mmcblk0p9.

For example: if we find out the boot partition is located at: mmcblk0p9, then, in terminal, type the command:

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 > /sdcard/boot-i927.img

(Above command tell the device to dump mmcblk0p9 to a file called boot-i927.img to /sdcard/)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Ah, the 8mb one. Gotcha.

Ok, well, the 2nd .zip was from an 8mb partition, but there was one more. If neither work, I'll extract the third.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Ok, everyone. I'm (slowly) uploading the root-enabled version of the Rogers firmware, but my upstream is only ~100k/sec. I'll updates the first post when everything's ready.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
weird... can you "tar" it because it obviously does not work for me
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Rockwig:
I know it might be a little early to ask this question, but with this being a Rogers Kernel, will it have an impact on signal of the phone? Also, will this completely reset my device. I don't really care, just wondering.

Thanks!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Ok, try boot2.zip. It contains a single file, boot.tar, which you should select for the PDA flash.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
That is awesome, device rooted and back to life!

Now just CWM is missing to start the real fun, I hope you start playing with the kernel very soon ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Outstanding! Glad you're back in business. :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ardatdat:
wowo! Finally, I can reach the internet world :)

Great to hear that you have successfully extracted the kernel and rescue your machine!!!

Congratulations! I will try the OC things later on.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Thanks to you !

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

I am your man to try !!! not scared to brick, now we can recover!! please use the canadian kernel, forever, I hate everyday a bit more ATT and samsung especially their customer service
[Samsung Captivate Glide] rflnc1:
nice work guys...wish i could have helped more but i didn't get home til just now.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ardatdat:
Well, for future works, we should use the kernel to inject the 'rooted' things.

Such that when in future, your whole ROM is OTA updated, you could then flash a few MB kernel to have it rooted again! Without having you to re-flash the whole ROM.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] rflnc1:
I agree. much less intrusive as well
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
That is what was done ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] clockwork58:
I just switched over to the Glide (Rogers) from x10. From there I was using Flashtool to load custom roms. Where can I grab Odin from? Is there a specific (or latest) version I should be using.

Pls advise where I can grab it from.

Thanks

PS. Is there a donation pool anywhere I can donate to you all for making this happen?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] rflnc1:
now we just need a subforum. thankfully the captivate community is reasonable or this thread would have been closed long ago..

[Samsung Captivate Glide] IlluminatedOne:
I have nothing to do with Captivate Glide and I do not mind if Captivate Glide development threads are being open here in this subforum but it will be nice for you guys if you can get your own subforum. I went ahead and send a PM to members of moderator committee about subforum. I hope they will make one soon.

And great work with rooting.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Thanks!! a Sub forum would definitively be great
[Samsung Captivate Glide] KyleTroy:
Agreed. I'm hoping we can make it happen.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] IlluminatedOne:
^^^ Will let you guys know if I hear back from the moderators/admins.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Thanks, IlluminatedOne.

To be honest, I'm really surprised this phone isn't more popular. I figured a dual-core qwerty slider with an amoled screen would cause lineups on launch day, but it seems to be taking a while to make its mark.

It is a nice device, and a subforum would be much appreciated.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] IlluminatedOne:
This device would have caught immediate attention if it was under SGS2 product line. SGS2 took all the attention, in my opinion.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
The only difference I see is the non "plus" screen

I still love the keyboard
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Hey everyone,

I just finished uploading an AT&T root-enabled rom; check the first post if you need it!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ardatdat:
Thanks lambgx02 & CarpeNoctem for dumping the kernel.

Could anyone help me to test my kernel that is built from source? (nothing is touched, just pure compile). Just tell me whether you can boot with this kernel or not. Please also test whether wifi & bluetooth are functioning. Thanks.

TO ROLL BACK: Flash the kernel dumped by lambgx02

(no need to un-tar, just flash the tar through Odin3 PDA. And you can see the kernel has been changed by viewing settings -> about phone)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ardatdat:
OK, if someone want to try the OC kernel of i927, please try the attached kernel. After rooted, you can use SetCPU to set the max. frequency. The max OC should be 1.2GHz.

Please report whether the kernel can successfully OC for you. Thanks.

(As usual, flash using Odin3 PDA)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:

Thanks, mods, if you're reading this! :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
indeed that is great
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ardatdat:
Hehe, I just re-build the whole kernel using source from I927R. Especially take out the CIQ part. Actually, because it checks for the flag: #ifdef CIQ_SUPPORT, and I make sure that this flag is not turned on in config file. So, no worry!

It is still OC to 1.2GHz. Try it :D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Well done, trying right now !
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Hey everyone,

I built an insecure boot.img if anyone's looking for an easier way to root. It's based off the Rogers (non-carrierIQ-infected) kernel, but I'm not sure if it'll boot the AT&T rom. Details in the first post.

If you decide to try it on an AT&T phone, please let me know how it works out!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] clockwork58:
How do I use the boot img file?

I'm trying the Rogers tar file (I'm also in Rogers) with Odin3 and I keep getting fail msg when trying to flash, then need to do e3 to get it back working. I tried multiple computers and ensured my drivers are installed correctly.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Man, why don't you ask me ;) you know I am going to try !!

Flashed and successfully booted ;)

BTW did anyboday tried the wifi tethering ?? it gives me an error
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ardatdat:
So, how's the new OC kernel based from i927R? Flashed & run smoothly? Thanks.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] doode2011:
Hats off to you guys.

I've been following you guys since I ordered the I927, I was hoping to help since i was supposed to receive the phone yesterday, but shipping was held back a day. I kept going through the process since titanium backup said the root access was denied, until I downloaded the superuser app. Might be worth it to mention that the rooters need to download superuser after the root has completed. But thanks again. :D

Anybody have any luck getting an insecure ATT kernel, or just the Stock ATT Kernel (like what is posted in the OP for Rogers).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Why do you install the rogers kernel on your ATT?? any reason for that ??
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Rockwig:
I did, I have root, I have SU, and I have removed the majority of the ATT bloatware. I was just wondering if I could put the stock kernel back on.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Good point, I believe someone would have to root before flashing the kernel and extract the boot.img

Too late for me :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] LagunaCid:
Not sure if its because of the oc kernel, but I lost 40% battery overnight with absolutely no wake locks. Anyone else experience this?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] JMM2009:

Quick question.

How is the battery life after this rooting method?

Thanks so much.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
The battery life is one of the best even before rooting so rooting it lets you uninstall crapware which increases it a bit, once we get custom roms, we might see a huge jump in battery life.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] shinydesert:
That's what I thought,I am sure it's still about the same after rooting the device with this system until somebody finds a "one-click method"

Thanks for your reply. :p I think the new ideas and development for the glide will start "taking off " in the next few weeks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] purple.epod:
Can I flash this Kernel onto my Rogers Galaxy S Glide prior to installing the rooted ROM, so that I, too, can enjoy overclockedness?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
well, you need to be "rooted" in order to change the clockspeed, and ardatdat's kernel is in stock speed upon boot.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jenn.liles:

[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
Did you install CWM ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jenn.liles:
Download Odin 1.85

Download the CarrierIQ FREE kernel (zip file) or the overClocked version of it.

Download the rooted ROM (AT&T based ROM)

or the Rogers rooted based rom (Unzip with WinRAR not 7zip)

Unzip the file and keep the .tar, that the file you are going to push to your device

Put your phone in Download Mode:

Turn off the phone

Press volume UP and keeping the button pressed, press the power button

a screen should ask you if you wanna continue - press volume up to confirm

Launch Odin

in PDA, select the first kernel downloaded (tar file you just unzipped)

DON'T SELECTor UNSELECT ANYTHING ELSE

Press the start button

Wait for your phone to reboot

This kernel will remove any traces of CarrierIQ, and you are now free from AT&T Spyware

IF AND ONLY IF this flashing fails, try the exact same steps with the insecure kernel

Reboot your device into download mode again (steps above)

Flash the rooted rom

No, I just followed the instructions above. I guess I should have. I didn't flash the kernel because I'm on 2.3.6.
