[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Should I root or shell root?

Does that voids the warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rahiljnmc:
Yes it does void warranty. but once you unroot using superoneclick or flash a Stock rom available on samfirmware.com for i9003 u will have ur warranty back.

Yes, u can flash cooked rom..but therz no cooked rom for the device from any developer yet. Roms of other galaxy S series model wont work nd can brick ur device. Further, there is no custom recovery for I9003 model from any dev yet..so u justhave to wait untill sumone comes out with a recovery
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Sounds great except for screen shot utility as of now I dont have any other use of rooting the phone.

Native froyo 2.2.1 screenshot method available in I9003 does not work in some apps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
What is the 1st thing you do after rooting, I installed shootme & titanium backup, thats all as of now. I9003 does not have any custom roms to play with as yet.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
@earthquake

I see you have European firmware on your device. Does it have tv-out function ?

Anything better you found in it.

Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] noah_i6471:
the superoneclick method aint working on my i9003...i got a error message as soon as i clicked on ROOT

what m i doing wrong? people who successfully rooted their i9003 pls guide me!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
what type of error you have got

1. install the samsung usb drivers

2. connect your phone in usb debugging mode (do not mount your sd card)

3. start super1click application and click on root option it wil root your phone
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
@noah,

Surprised.

Plz hard reset and try again.

Good luck !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Anybody tried European firmware ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] earthquake36:
hi answer to your qt i found it more stable as i was having a slowdown problem with the XXKA version. but as u asked i not tried Tv-out function yet but all in all smooth rom however having said that i still see lot of battery problem with the current and default Rom, waiting for somebody to do a custom rom :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Win1032000:
Ur...

when I press the super one click button,

it stuck on the "Waiting for device" process,

plz help

I've followed ur steps ( debug and kies ) but it still cannot work ...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
First shell root. Then try to root.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Win1032000:
Sorry but it still can't work

stuck on waiting for device...

Should I open KIES and let it find my device before clicking the root button?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Same prob here too dude
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
You seem to have problem with recognizing the device. Just reinstall the drivers for the phone. I think your pc is not detecting your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] awazil:
works for me great even that i have i9000 drivers in same PC hehe
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
still no solution :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Rooting

as this method isnt working for me,plz sum1 tell me how to root through cmd/adb :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
Try to flash again abd then try to root
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
I already did that , no results :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Win1032000:
Yes,that's the problem, KIES can detect my i9003 only when the "debug" is not click

when I click the "debug" and try to connect again, KIES fails to detect ...:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Dont bother about kies detecting your phone or not. I am talikng about the phone being detected as usb device. Do you have experience with using ADB? just try the command adb shell in CMD after connecting your phone through usb and if you see the demon started successfully. Drivers are working fine if not you need to some how reinstall drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Win1032000:
tried to reinstall use driver but it still can't work...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
did you test it in adb as I suggested on the above post? If yes and it did not work, you cant root your phone till PC is able to detect Phone. May be try using a friends system where you will install the drivers for the first time and connect the phone to USB, if it detected the phone then you can root.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] natzakaria:
Hi

Just got me one of these last niight.

Which version of Super1click should I use to root?

I see there 1.7 and 1.9

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
You can use anyone which ever you want either 1.7 or 1.9 both are stable
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Guys Actually I'm facing a weird Problem...I'm not able to install KIES..Its asking for .netframework 4.0 which is also not getting installed after repeated attempts..!!so is there any way through which we can root our phone without installing KIES..OR please recommend some other solution..!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Kies is useless. Try extracting the usb drivers from kies installer exe, using 7zip. Just navigate to the usb driver folder, and extract the samsung usb driver.exe, instal it for your phone to be recognized by PC. will post drivers later here if you can't do it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Win1032000:
Ur... I find a new problem

I have successfully root my i9003 and see the superuser icon, however I cannot detect any permission while I installing some software that need superuser's permission

now, although i've root my i9003, but new softwares which need permissions cannot be installed...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Win1032000:
problem solved..

just re boot your phone and that's ok..

thx all for helping me

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Extract the usb drivers from the cd and then try again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
You can download only samsung usb drivers from my post in the thread "Swap your internal SDCARD................................................" in my signature. You will find the link in ADB method. After download, unistall kies and samsung usb drivers from your PC and install the drivers you downloaded. This should recognize your phone and help you run Super oneclick root, for rooting your phone:).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lars96:
I love you dude !!!

It works :D

Now i ll follow you swap tutorial :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:

I meant to ask lik b4 unrootig if it gets bricked, thn warranty wudnt b der so der wil b probs at customer care, right!

Tnx pal
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
Finally phone rooted! Lag fix applied!

Thanks to everyone!

Now just waiting for gingerbread update &/or a custom ROM!

Can you people recommend a few good widgets & something for removing all the bloatware that came installed with the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Check the clock on my signature,u can also try lp sense ui clock from market.

U can install adfree to remove bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anigr88:
after rooting can it be unrooted....?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Means if i root and aftr tat install

I9003XXKB3

I wil get my warranty back??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
U got it buddy :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
NO you will void warranty by installing non Indian firmware but the simple thing to understand is that none of these 2, rooting & other region fw updating matters during warranty, unless you make a real mess out of the system. Rooting process gives you permission to delete system files such as efs which will delete your iemi no. & phone will be useless & only samsung can reinstall that.

To all who are eager to root should understand the danger (self stupidity out of ignorance) & only then root it for a reason.

I have updated to XXKB3 so if I need repair I will have to flash with Indian fw DDKB2to claim warranty.

Hope this clears the doubts.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Ok. Thanks. Jus lik to mak thngs clear and b a bit cautious..

Thanks ppl.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
Thanx buddy!

somebody help me for this problem...:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ritvik93:
Hey i upgraded to xxkb3 today and everything works like a charm but i am unable to root it! Superone click says waiting for device and then hangs what should i do.

note that i was on ddkb2 firmware earlier and was rooted.

This is as far as i go

Killing ADB Server...

OK

Starting ADB Server...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

OK

Waiting for device...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
Same problem as the above. I've seen on the first page that you need to toggle usb debugging but with an SL, you would need to disconnect the USB, right?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Check whether your phone is detected by ADB first. Did you check USB Mass storage and debigging mode in Phone settings? Some times if direct root does not work Shell root it frst and then permanent rot.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Uninstall kies and extract the usb drivers from the cd.i had the same prob
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ritvik93:
i will try it asap!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
i dont have the cd. where else can i extract it from?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
I have posted usb drivers in my sd card swap mod thread. You can download out from there.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] thunderflames:

To keep it simple, xxxkb3 is a european firmware and d best out there.

Yea u n unroot and to restore flash ur original firmware.

There is only one custom ROM, Ultimate SL wic isnt yet fully developed. So wait and watch for Custom ROMs as of now.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] wayne78:

Newbie to Andriod

Hi Guys,

Just got my sgsl yesterday and this is my first andriod phone....

I've gone thru many forums did a hell lot of r&d but still confused :(

Can some1 plzz plzz simplify what these mean

"Brick ur phone"

does rooting brick ur phone/void warranty if not then wat does ?

if u void ur warranty how to get it back by flashing

what is onelagfix and gpsfix

what does samfirmware.com do

what is cooked rom / custom rom

anything else i need to know b4 i root my sgsl ?

Plzz some1 clarify the above questions or provide some link for the same ...

[ps I'm posting this silly question inspite of watchin the noob video :P]

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
1.bricking means your phone will not be usable

2.rooting will void the warranty and if u did not want to void ur warranty then just flash with a stock f.w

3.samfirmware just provides the guides and stock f.ws

4. cooked or custom roms are same
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] zombi333:
Thx for replying ....

just few more doubts :P

1. Once u brick ur phone is there any way to get it back

2. If any goes wrong while/after rooting then i should unroot it first b4 flashing it with stock fw

3. How to decide on the firmware to use. For eg I9003XWKB1 or I9003ZCKC1

I know its regional and also know that we can use other regions fw ..

So on what basis to select ...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
1) u can flash stock firmware

2)no need to unroot b4 flashing.

3)xxkb3 is best firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
ROOTED SUCCESSFULLYYYY!!!!

THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED ME WID MY NOOB QUES AND ALL :-P

Flashd xxxkb3. Gps locking in 20seconds max.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] zombi333:
Thx A Lot :)

So this is what i'm gonna do now

1. Flash My firmware to xxkb3 using Odin3_v1.82

2. Root it with Superoneclick v1.9.1

So do i need to take any precautionary step like backup or something b4 proceeding... I really don't wanna mess up with my 2 days old phone :p

Thx :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Hey i rooted my phone last night and flashd xxxkb3 (as u cn c frm my prv post)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Since you flashed after root...your phone is no longer rooted....redo the rooting using super one click
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Oh...

Hmm...

i already installed the kies and now i want to root.i set my phone to ask on connection on usb setting and enable usb debugging.and then when i launched superoneclick and click root,it stucks on waiting on device and then the program hang.why is it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
R drivers installed on ur phone?

Mine worked perfectly.....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nicestupid89:
how to check it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
take out kies and reinstall it. better yet, go to trip's thread about swapping the internal SD with the external one. The drivers for our phone is there for you to download and install. install the drivers, lauch superoneclick, then root.

P.S.

TO ALL: Try to post in complete words. It is for us to better understand you and to help you out as well.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Also ders a option in superoneclick "Driver Check"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nicestupid89:
im sorry if im not giving the detailed explanation but i have successfully rooted my phone :) thanx to all

after i rooted my phone i install chainfire3d to play HD games

besides that,what app is the best to install after rooting?

1 question of out topic

is it possible to make a reboot option in power off menu?

as i seen on another forum there is a mod but im afraid to try it as no one has ever used on i9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
DONOT TRY ANY MOD O ANYTN OF ANY OYHER PHONE O FRM ANY OTHER FORUM, unless u wanna brick it intentionally ofcourse
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
just try the mods which is present here
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nicestupid89:
ok thanx to all =)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] csns:
I've done some reading all over XDA and so far haven't found any decent clues to resolve my issue.

So I have I9003, flashed it with XKB3 and then rooted with SuperOneClick 1.95.

The rooting process went OK and I am able to run apps like Titanium Backup but I am unable to make any changes to the system folder.

Root Explorer allows me to mount r/w but it has no actual effect - can't do anything in the system folder.

All help is much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nicestupid89:
one thing i found after root that the gallery background doesnt show a clear picture

i dont if someone already posted it because im in the cc now
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Did you allow root rights for Root Explorer? to look this you have to start Superuser application and look at allowed applications. Also After rooting don't forget to reboot your phone, else you can't see question about root access.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] csns:
Thanks for your hints but yes, Root Explorer has root access - it's listed in Superuser and each time I launch it there is a notification saying that Root Explorer has SU permissions.

Anyway I still can't modify the System folder...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Strange. When I go to system directory with Root explorer I see the notice at the top of the screen "Mounted as r/o" and button near "Mount R/W", when I clicked it notice at the top is changed to "Mounted as r/w".

BTW remember that root partition (path is "/") is different then system partition (path is "/system") and both of them are mounted as r/o. May be you mount only root partition as r/w instead system partition?

Sorry, if I'm Captain Obvious for you :) But I really can't understand where can be the problem if it's not in your wrong actions.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] csns:
You are not Captain Obvious at all - discussion is the way to through problems like this - I might be missing something very basic in fact.

Below are some screens from R.E. - I can change r/o to r/w in the main folder ("/") but when I go into System it always shows "r/w" and I can't mount it as r/o. And despite the above I have no real write permissions.

Any idea?

----------------------EDIT------------------------

Everything is fine - the problem was apparently outdated Root Explorer - it was 2.10.x.

Now I'm using 2.16 and all is OK.

Thank you for support.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Hm, your screens look like mine. but when I enter to /system I see that it's mounted as r/o. Did you try to reboot your device and look if the system partition is still mounted as r/w? May be other program remount /system to r/w, but in this case any application can make changes inside it

PS: how did you make screen of /system? when I tried to press back button it turns back to / and only there I can press Home :) As I understand Root Explorer reacts not on Back key release, but on key press
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] csns:
Well I used a free app - ShootMe - while running the app just shake you mobile - no keys need to be pressed.

Or jut go one level deeper in System and use the standard method - you will go back do System on key press but get a screenshot at the same time - just checked - works.

Take good care.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Thanks a lot.

I tried this before posting previous post, but Root explorer goes to the root (even if I'm at /system/fonts it always goes to /) and only there I can make screenshot.

But ok . I'll use ShootMe.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] zombi333:
Kies problem

Just rooted my sgsl :D ... But during the root it said that busybox was not found would u like to install.... i hit ok ...

Is this due to rooting ?

EDIT

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] matapollos:
i've rooted my device a few times before and it went as smooth as silk, so when i flashed gingerbread this afternoon i did it again... then, something was wrong and even though i could use for a moment my device, it suddenly soft bricked, and said something about the kernel and the updating mode.

Since then, when i turn off the screen to save battery, my i9003 crashes.

someone knows why? does that mean android 2.3.4 is no supported yet???

i've unrooted my mobile and now it works fine again... maybe it really could be an issue we must know... :S

cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
What? You flashed with gingerbread 2.3.4 rom of i9000? To my knowledge its not yet realesed for i9003.

Where did you download it from?
