[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
T-Mobile/Samsung have rebranded the Exhibit II 4G, giving us a new kernel, a bump to Android v2.3.6 and performance improvements (they claim) in the process. The phone we all love is now the

Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

.

This stock ROM (UVLG3) is

NOT

vulnerable to USSD Dialer Attacks!

Rooting

Currently, zergrush will not root this phone's Android 2.3.6. Three known methods:

Root Stock 2.3.6 w/o a new kernel or ROM

root-stock.zip

This zip will install Superuser, su and busybox, leaving you rooted, but otherwise no changes to your phone. ClockworkMod must be installed to flash this. So:

1. Flash ClockworkMod

2. Boot into ClockworkMod and flash root-stock.zip.

Rooted Community ROM (forkable)

Linked above is Samsung's newest release for the Galaxy Exhibit, a stock rooted UVLG3 Gingerbread ROM. Busybox is also included. You must flash it via clockworkmod. Clockworkmod can be flashed with Samsung's stock recovery.

Kernel sources

The kernel is based on Samsung's kernel source. This kernel is rooted; if you flash it via stock recovery or cwm your ROM will be rooted with Superuser.apk, Busybox and the Galaxy Exhibit cwm-recovery installed. This kernel works with all Samsung Gingerbread releases.

Rooted ROM Installation

CWM Keys:

Home key = enter

Back key = back

VolUp/Dwn = highlight choice

1. Back up your data. The installation will format your data partition. I suggest Titanium Backup, available in the Market.

2. Download & copy the current t679.uv???.deodex.0x.zip to your internal sd card (if you already have a cwm installed you may use your removable card).

3. Install Galaxy Exhibit Custom Recovery . If you're already rooted, you may install from the command line, otherwise you may install from Samsung's Recovery. Samsung's recovery only sees the internal SD, so copy the cwm zip there if you just have stock recovery. Stock recovery sometimes takes more than one try to start.

Easy way to start recovery

* Make sure the cwm zip is on your internal (non-removable) sd.

* Pull the battery from your phone.

* Connect phone to your pc via usb.

* Press & hold Volume-up

* Insert battery

Your phone will boot into recovery. Press the capacitive menu button (left bottom button) when you see the open white box and droid. Choose 'apply update from sdcard' and select the cwm zip file.

4. Start Custom Recovery (cwm): Press & hold Vol-Up, then press & hold Power. Shortly after the plain white Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. Recovery should start after the Galaxy Exhibit logo.

5. Select ROMwipe. This step is required!

6. Highlight install zip from sdcard, then press Home.

7. Highlight 'choose zip from sdcard/external sdcard, depending where you placed the download in step 2.

8. Highlight the rooted rom zip file, then press Home.

After you confirm your choice, installation should take less than three minutes.

Anything you download and install is at your own risk. No guarantees or warranties are given or implied. Your first post-installation boot may be several minutes long.

It's recommended to install Clockwork Mod, but you can also flash the kernel from Samsung's stock recovery. Samsung's recovery only sees the internal sd, so copy files there if you don't have cwm.

Stock recovery sometimes takes more than one try to start.
