Hello, I am completely new to this so I would love a response.

I want to root my phone but not install any rom. When Samsung releases jelly bean update for our phone, will I be able to update my phone without any trouble? I don't care if the root disappears.

Thanks you!

Root and CFW for I9070PXXLE1

Hello,

my friend has GT-I9070P with I9070PXXLE1, and with kernel 2.6.35.7-I9070PBOLE2-CL1121305.

He wants to root his phone and wants to install custom rom ICS or JB, if there is any possible.

Which kernel should he use to root it, is any of listed (by 1st post here) compatible to root?

And also, do you know, where is located some smooth and working rom?

Because his phone is branded by T-Mobile Czech republic, and its to slow and many times it is restarting..

Thanx for all yours replies. Jake

Ok I have asked a few questions in this thread and no one has answered... Maybe this one is the charm!

I was holding the volume up instead of down.. Stupid mistake!

Also... I lost £20 on some code from an unlock site... I was wondering how many times you can put in an unlock code before it freezes the phone? It may well be to late but they said if I upped a vid showing me putting in the code and it not working I would get my money back... But I have put the code in a load of times!

I'm trying to do the following if anyone could lend a hand:

I'm in Ecuador and region's gsm frequency is 850mhz. Also, the region's default firmware is UBLD4

After rooting my phone, installing TWRP and using the lastest JetMod custom rom, I ended up with baseband XXLE2 (which I guess I put on the phone at some point on the process)

I'm unsure which region this baseband was tailored for, but my signal strenght and stability are very bad when compared to when it was on UBLD4.

Now, I understand that I can simply Odin the default firmware and be done with BUT: Is there any way to keep Root, TWRP, and JetMod rom AND flash

just

the UBLD4 baseband?

Link to the UBLD4 firmware at sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=6676

Edit: Please do excuse my misuse of technical terms. I'm pretty sure I'm confusing the hell out of kernel, baseband and firmware.

Nope! I had think I had better give up.

That will give you de branded firmware fine, but of course will not unlock your phone to other networks.

Follow step 10 (and it's direction to other steps) to put the de branded firmware.

Then follow steps 1-9 to root the phone.

Remember to always have re partition unchecked.

kernel patch for TriangleAwayProgram on Gingerbread (untested)

There is the TriangleAway Program.

It depends on "hidden" /dev/boot/mmcblk0boot0 device which appears with newer kernels like used by Android ICS 4.0.

TriangleAway appears. (in a earlier version of this post I offered already some patch, but it was incomplete).

Febrie doesily

In the TriangleAway thread it is described how it works.

So if we/I manage to patch our 2.6.35 kernel properly, we should see the /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 device and can then either try to run TriangelAway (we could ask the author for a Gingerbread version if needed) or change the flash count manually.

I have not yet a Galaxy S advance, but I am very interested in purchase one, probably in about one week. As it could be rooted now (thanks, qzem! :) ), there is no real reason speaking against it anymore.

Do you know any method to export efs stuff ?
