Cannot root Galaxy 5

---

Hey people!

I'm trying to root my girlfriend's Galaxy 5 but I'm not being able to do so.
Every way I try just don't work. I wanted it to remove some unwanted apps that she have on phone, all bloatware.

Here is the info I have of the phone:
Model: GT-I5500B (Brazil)
Running on Android 2.2.2
Baseband: I5500BVJJP9
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf / se.infra@SEI-46 #1
Build: FROYO.VJJP9

I've tried SuperOneClick, z4root, Universal Androot and another one that I couldn't remember.

Also, I didn't find the CWM Recovery for it. It would be nice to have it too, since I could do a backup before trying anything else.

Thanks!

Usually you have to try more than one time to successfully root the phone: for me UAR didn't work but SuperOneClick yes. Did you install the Samsung drivers into your PC?
Try others version of this program and try more than one time, sequentially..

Everything is installed, since I use it on my Galaxy Ace. So, I should try other versions of SuperOneClick to see which one will work? There isn't something like a flashable zip to root the phone?

quite sure there isn't, sorry..
yes, I think you should try different version of SuperOneClick and most of all try and try and try again: most users reported that they were not able to root with a version or another and that they had to repeat the operation..

Oh well, seems that I'll need to take my gf's phone for a week to root it. I hope it worth the work! Anyway, thank you!

Thanks man, as soon as I got the phone with me I'll try.
By the way, I've attached the file you link to me, in case of someone else needs it. It is clean and seems very simple to use, just connect phone to PC, enable debugging, set screen timeout to 10 min and run the script.

It's a russian forum, but I think that is not very important

As for root, I'm searching it too I used Universal Androot before & everything was ok, but my AVG Antivir found a virus in it


Ps. Actually I've rooted my smartphone a moment ago with Universal Androot again you can pick it from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598 if that your script would not work

Thanks for the link, I'm taking a look right now. About the root, the file that I attached on my last post worked perfectly. I've just set the screen timeout to 10min and enabled USB Debugging and ran the script. Bingo! Now my girlfriends phone is with full root acess!
