Indian Samsung Galaxy root qtn.

---

I have an indian galaxy s.
I got the device 2 days ago.

THE PHONE ROCKS AND IS AMAZINGLY FAST!!!

I love every aspect of it and now i want to root it.

The device is not simlocked, i bought it outright.
It is a non operator specific device.

My operator is vodafone india.
They provide 2.75G services based on 900 MHz and 1800 MHz digital GSM technology.

I have the folln. in *#1234#
PDA:I9000DDJF3
Phone:I9000DDJF3
CSC:I9000DDJF3

I want to know what method I can use to root the device because I read someone saying that you needed to be on some dutch fw to root the device.(If not can i root it like h tt p:// forum. xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t= 728754

Also I'd like to know whether I can install any of the custom roms like pauls modaco r2.
I dont mind using a prebaked ROM.

Is it possible to go to the I9000XWJFF or the I9000XWJG1 or will I have to stay on the I9000DDJF3?

Also on [htt p://samsung-firmware. webs. com /WEBPROTECT-samsungi9000.htm] samsung roms, there is no I9000DDJF3 ROM. So I don't think I can go back to I9000DDJF3 if I muck up anywhere.

Thanks a million in advance.

Hey!
You don't need any Dutch FW or anything. Just follow instructions given here and you're sorted.
You can upgrade to any firmware you want. Our (I'm from India too) stock firmware isn't available unfortunately. Personally, I'd go with JG5. Totally loving the firmware! Though you can flash to Paul's r2. You'll have to flash JG1 first and use the update over that. Also, you'd be automatically rooted if you flashed the r2.

It's pretty difficult to brick your phone honestly. If a flash doesn't work out right you can almost always just enter the download mode and re-flash. I've had issues myself, but nothing to fret about really.

Thanks a lot. Really good to know there are other Indian samsung Galaxy S users here on xda. I will root by the method you gave me and I will try the jg5 after a few days.

Btw what part of India are from?
Mumbai here

Thanks again

I'm an Indian user too (Bangalore). Bought my SGS almost 2 weeks ago. Was VERY annoyed with the stock firmware (DDJF3). The black-outs really got on my nerve. Will you not be irritated if your 30k phone hangs up on you for several seconds (to open the dialer app so you can type the number down) right when the pretty girl you're talking to offers to give you her phone number, and you have to ask her to wait 5 seconds to write it down?! Of course, the black-outs aren't there all the time. Usually only when you use the phone after a long gap (at least in my case). But it's still VERY annoying. That's NOT what I paid 30k for!

So yeah, finally flashed to JG5 a few days ago. Very happy with it. Although I can still see the black screens, it's always for ~1 second max and it only happens with some apps. Dialer and Contacts don't lag at all anymore. I really think you're gonna love your phone even more if you upgrade your firmware to JG5

Use mimocans lagfix from the sticky if you have a micro sd and way the lag gone.

I will try all this tonight.
Mods can close the thread if they want to.
Thanks everyone again.

I am also from India (Delhi), and currently running rooted JG5 firmware with the sdcard lag fix

I am Hyderabad & i am on jg5 rooted with sd lag fix. Great phone now.

Only thing i am missing after sd card fix is the default ringtones & notifications. Othrwise loving it.

I have recovered from a bricked state about 10 days ago so follow the steps correctly.
