Credit:
- lambgx02 who provided the Carrier IQ free kernel (by Rogers) and the insecure kernel and the Rogers rooted ROM!!!
- ardatdat who provided the rooted ROM and the overclocked kernel
- samsfirware.com that provided the firmware without which nothing would have been possible
- myself, crazy tester who bricked his device
If you are on Rogers, no need to flash the kernel, it is already CarrierIQ free
- 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
- Go to the market and make sure you have the latest version of superuser
- go to superuser, check you have "su" updated
You're now rooted!
