Hi, please i need only root my SGS with Android 2.3.6 XWJW5. Can i try only this, if i need only root?

Now the rooting part.

1.Download CF-Root http://download.chainfire.eu/155/CF-....4-CWM3RFS.zip

2. Unzip the file and you get a tar file. It may look like a zip file but it is not. So do not extract the tar file.

3. Open Odin (if you don't have it download it from section 4 in installing part)

4. Switch off the phone and wait for vibration. When it vibrates it is completely off

5. Make sure you have drivers (JW4 installing section 1)

6. Put your phone to download download mode. To do that press vol down + home + power.

7. Now your phone should be in download mode. Plug it to computer (make sure odin is still open)

8. Click PDA tab and choose CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.tar.

9. Click start

10. Wait

11. Wait more and then there should read Success! in odin

12. Now you can disconnect the phone.

13. Finish!

I don't know if CF root for JW4 works with JW5, but it should work

I always use semaphore kernel as it's most stable for me.

Hey guys, i want to root my galaxy s but am unsure where exactly to start.

It's currently running

firmware 2.3.5

Baseband I9000BVJV3

If I start with step one on the guide will this work on my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gazza2907:
I'm pretty sure if you have 2.3.5 you need to follow the first set of instructions to upgrade to 2.3.6 BEFORE following the second set to root. But I would strongly recommend waiting for someone to verify this before continuing.

After the install Odin tried to reboot my phone but it never powered back on. I've tried all of the different reset combo's..recovery, download with/without battery/USB etc...but nothing seems to work.

Have you guys seen this happen before? Any help would be appreciated..thx!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] grga:
this is what I got after two time flashing with firmware in this thread. phone goes over and over again rebooting, it goes just till ''S'' logo and reboots every time...

have to tell you that first time (before flashing to slimbean everything was ok, but now, when I want to go back to 2.3.6, I can't).

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

got back to slimbean but still, question is how to make step down?

Re: [GUIDE] How to root and update your Galaxy S to ICS

It is certainly possible to go back to 2.3.6 if you want so don't ever worry about that but it will take a little we work. Lots of info on that on XDA.

Having said that. I am running the latest version of Slim and would never go back.

Touchscreen not working after rooting

I've tried your steps and everytime I finish rooting it reboots and touchscreen doesn't work :mad:, so I can't mount device onto USB meaning I can't go and put any rom onto the internal SD card.

I can't go back now either as touchscreen isn't working....any ideas???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mdiaz33685:
everything worked like a charm... on the 1st try.

was hooking up my friends daughter.. someone gave her the phone with ver 2.2.1

I rooted with some other method, was trying to sim unlock the phone.. the third hack I downloaded rooted the phone, then I sim unlocked easily worked with root...

when this finished downloading, I said what the heck.. let me upgrade her... so I upgraded to 2.3.6 then rooted, worked just as described..

hello fellas i just wanna thanks TS for this great tutorial thanks thanks thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 General] srh13:
Thanks, you helped a noob

When it comes to anything beyond the norm with phones, regardless of OS, I'm a complete noob. But I followed this guide step by step and had JellyBean running on my i9000 in under an hour. Thanks a bunch!

Updates: I chose to try to go straight to the latest cyanogen mod, 10.2, meaning I used http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/34255/cm-10.1.2-galaxysmtd.zip and http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip in place of the links given in the final section of the original guide. No problems.

To others like me: It took me under an hour to do the steps straight through, after downloading all of the necessary files. I spent at least 12 hours in preparation though, reading many other guides and overviews to get familiar enough with the terminology and processes to have a reasonable idea of what these steps were doing. I'd strongly suggest investing some time to do that so you at least sort of know what you're doing and why as you go through, even though the guide is quite accurate and probably can be followed without that. (Anyway, it's more interesting to learn a little.)

Comment: It might be useful to point folks to a page indicating how to backup logs/SMS/contacts/APN. I found this useful: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1139050.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kronos111:
If u have jw4 start with the rooting part, if not just follow the guide, it can't be more precise
[Galaxy S I9000 General] monkeywithbanana:
Well, that looks like stock recovery. Did remember to follow all instructions of the root process?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] monkeywithbanana:
There is a small chance to imei being lost but you can back up the efs folder after rooting.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] krzysiekx:
He probably has stock rom with Recovery <3e> that does not allow flashing of unsigned .zips . Easiest way in that case is to flash custom kernel with built-in CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BB00mLD:
Hi i just finished following your tutorial but now the phone will not recognise my sim, infact it wont recognise any network. I can get it to connect to wifi buts thats it, also it says the IMEI is uknown and when i try to use EFS Pro to restore the EFS its says the device is "currently offline". Please Help :(

Edit: Ok so i managed to recover the IMEI and it detects a sim card and networks, but it seems to always say out of service and have no signal :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] krzysiekx:
Maybe that's because you flashed a stock rom that isn't for your area? You need to use ones with CSC codes that'll match your area or otherwise you'll have connection problems. You can check those codes here and here or ask someone to help you with matching them to your location. Or maybe that loss of your IMEI messed things up? No clue, I never lost my one. You followed guide step-by-step?

Hi I am new to the android rooting and custom rom business.

Can someone please clarify: I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000. It is full of contacts, apps and other data and settings. I am trying to follow the guide in the first post in this thread.

My phone firmware is 2.3.6 and baseband is i9000DDJV7. I suppose that means I have to do part 1 which is install JW4. For this, the guide asks to put into recovery mode and wipe data. Does this not mean I will lose ALL my data? Sure I have a backup using Kies, but that wont work with a modded phone right? How do I restore contacts (especially) and apps and other settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] juggalo818:
ok im not a real noob but i did everything you have in your post and all went good on the odin part but when it said reboot the phone just turned off and wont restart or anything??? what happened?

Look in My Android Solutions (link below)

1) Download Root Explorer, or Xplore, or any root browser from Play Store and use it to

2) Search you internal SD card for sdcard/backup/efs or any other backup you have for your efs

3) Copy nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 paste them (means overwrite existing files) into /efs in your Internal Phone memory

4) Fix permissions by Click on efs folder and keep it pressed to open the menu and click on permissions and set them to rw_r_r_ ( Owner = read & write - Group = read only and Others = Read only), after this Save using menu and exit using menu

5) Power down phone and reboot into recovery and wipe cache before rebooting phone to get back your original IMEI

or

you can start from the beginning.. go back to GB 2.36 (use a JVU ROM + Root, upgrade to ICS CM 9 and than to CM10

Stuck

I am stuck on this guide after completing the first section. After completing the first section; my device keeps flashing the Galaxy S start screen continuously. And yes I know I've only completed one section, but the next steps are as follows:

"Now we are ready to install a custom ROM!

First you need to download a ROM. I recommend Cyanogenmod because it is popular, it has many features and it is stable. Here is link

1. Download the ROM.

2. Put it to your phone's internal sd-card

3. Download gapps

4. Put it to your phone's sd-card"

I downloaded Cyanogenmod and Gapps, but how do I 'put it to your phone's internal sd card' especially when my phone is in the state it's in?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mha93:
Have you rooted yet? It's a boot loop nothing serious yet.
