i need a root guid and the best rom

---

i want to root my samsung galaxy s wifi 5.0 (i think its EUR version im not shure)
i want to root it so i can upgrade to the newest version of android so please if you can give me a guid for root and how to upgrade to the newest version of android (im sooooooo nooob).
and one more thing is that im looking for a rom that will be fast and will not take a lot of battery.so if you can please give me a download link for this rom and a guid.
thanks for all the helpers and sorry that im total noob and need for everything a guid.
information about the device if its help:
model number:YP-G70
firmware version:2.2.2
kernel version:2.6.32.9 root@se-s608 #1
build number:foryro.jkke3

Edit: Looks like your still running froyo 2.2 so use Kies to try and update to gingerbread 2.3.5 first (unless you just want to use custom roms)

I rooted my 5.0 last evening this way on a windows computer running XP...

Download and install the samsung program "Kies" (will install the necessary drivers). Open it so that it can update if need be. Close it down and reboot the computer.

Download and unzip a program called "SuperOneClick" (latest version)

Now in your device - set the screen "timeout" to 10 minutes or longer.
- put a checkmark in "unknown sources" and "usb debugging mode"

Open Kies so that it is running and then plug in your device using the usb cable. Kies should then detect your device.

Now run the superoneclick program. Be patient as it stops and goes. Took about 5 minutes to complete for me and have since tested it with an app that requires root.

Keep in mind there's always some risk doing this but it worked great for my SMP 5.0.

i upgraded from froyo to gingerbread 2.3.5 like 6 months ago. it was all done through Kies. mind you, my froyo was rooted and Kies still upgraded it. so the first part, upgrade to 2.3.5, is very official, it HAS to work.
if it doesnt, means u do something wrong there and u have to tell us more details about what actions u perform or samsung doesnt provide upgrade to 2.3.5 in your country, which is kinda weird since they are working towards ICS-4.0 nowadays.
Install Samsung Kies on your computer from samsung.com, it will install the drivers also.
go to Settings - Wireless and Network - USB settings and select Samsung Kies before attaching to computer.
once attached wait for Kies to connect then its kinda easy.
USB Debugging mode u find in Settings-Applications-Development -> u will need it later for root.

Ok i did it i update to 2.3.5(not from kies i found a guid in te internet)
But how i root with one superclick?
And do you know how to do OC to the device?

I found a Youtube guide here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA4bw8bU4T4 There's also lots of threads about rooting 2 topics down here at XDA. Just a little confusing since there are so many "versions". I see too many "bricked" threads, and have not found reason enough to root yet. My 5.0 is smooth, fast and beautiful just as she is.

u dont need drivers if kies installed correctly.
may i ask why u need rooted device? u mentioned OC but are u sure u want OC? the device as tcat007 said, its smooth and fast enough.
there are some good custom rom's around for your device, maybe u need one of those not only root.
to answer your question, should be ok to root with SuperOneClick 2.3.1 + zergRush exploit, since i used that on 2.3.5 in late november 2011

i root it(yay!).and i used tegrak overclock to overclock it but how i know if it did overclock?idk if i did everything right...and my device temp is 18 C is it ok?
and which rom is fast but doesnt take a lot of battery?
i have this device somthing like 5 months and it is very slow so i want to do OC.
i need rooted device because i want to install faster rom and to use some apps that need rooted device

the only thing that i tested and can recommend is Meticulus's ROM. since u have international version, u'll need rumirand's kernel. all info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1458325
use setCPU or CPU tuner for OC, as an app. and if u burn it, so be it :P
cant believe u say its a slow device. compared with what? fyi, OC will eat your battery faster anyway.
