Re: [GUIDE] How to root and update your Galaxy S to ICS
This guide is safe there are many other guides for the I9000 easiest way to root is to flash a cf kernel.
JW4 is where he is referring to the stock firmware that's possibly on the phone you are attempting to root. I had to use cf 3.7 for my 2.3.3 kg3 I9000m (bell Canada).
Look under settings, about phone, baseband (modem), firmware version(?). Baseband and the firmware should both have for example JW4. As long as you match up the rooted kernel with your firmware you should have no problems flashing you're phone with Odin.
In case you mess up go here[ URL]www.samfirmware.com[/URL] and grab the stock firmware and flash with Odin
Just pick a guide you feel comfortable with and study it till you feel comfortable enough to flash your phone.

This is the first time i've rooted and installed a custom rom but i found this guide really easy to use. The difference this made to my phone's performance compared to the stock rom was amazing
Do i follow the same proceedure for installing other custom roms?
Cheers again for the guide :good:

Most of Custom ROMs are flashed through CWM.
Third part of the Giude which starts from "Now we are ready to install a custom ROM!" - will work for most of Custom ROMS
Just fallow it, and everithing will work just fine

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!

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?

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.

Hello, I went through the first few steps and according to Odin..the installation was a success:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/004> cache.rfs
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> factoryfs.rfs
<ID:0/004> modem.bin
<ID:0/004> param.lfs
<ID:0/004> Sbl.bin
<ID:0/004> zImage

<ID:0/004> RES OK !!
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
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!

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).

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.

73This guide shows you how to root and install a ROM.
I am NOT responsible for bricked devices or dead sd cards etc.
Hi,
Today i'm going to show you how to root and update your Galaxy S.
In this guide we flash custom kernel and rom.
But first, remember the drivers http://www.filefactory.com/file/3nhyqmo40111/n/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip
Now the rooting part.
1.Download Semaphore kernel http://semaphore.gr/downloads Choose the first one. (Semaphore_2.7.4.tar)
2. 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 http://ul.to/o2xcp01n )
4. Switch off the phone and wait for vibration. When it vibrates it is completely off
5. Make sure you have drivers.
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 Semaphore_2.7.4.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!
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's the link http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/49867/cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
1. Download the ROM.
2. Put it to your phone's internal sd-card
3. Download gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
4. Put it to your phone's sd-card
5. Reboot to recovery (vol up + home + power)
6. Wipe data/factory reset
7. Wipe cache
8. Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
9. Install zip from sd-card
10. Choose zip from sd-card
11. Select cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
12. Confirm
13. Wait
14. Wait more
15. Wait even more
16. Go back
17. Don't reboot
18. Install zip from sd-card
19. Choose zip from sd-card
20. Choose gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
21. Confirm
22. Wait
23. Reboot
Now it's ready! You made it! You rooted and updated your phone. Be proud!5
here are the reason:
1. While installing jw4 in step 6 you have ask to boot in recovery and recovery only available when you have flashed a kernel which supports it.
2. If i already have recovery them why i should flash jw4 again and then again root it and flash the ics.
3. You have asked to put rom in internal sdcard and gapps in sdacrd... they should both be in same card else a new user might get confuse.
4. You haven't mention if user ends in bootloop what should he do?32
Yeah, the stock rom can be found on samfirmware.com
And yes, just flash in pda with odin, repartition checked. Then boot to recovery and wipe data / factory reset. That easy.
As for kernel, stock cm10 is very good, i prefer devil which is biased towards performance. Semaphore is a good balance, not for me though. EDIT: you meant for flashing... Umm semaphore or devil haha
