Default Help Rooting my Samsung Galaxy S GT~I9000T!

Hi guys! I can't root my Galaxy S. I've downloaded many ''update.zip'' files, but. in the download mode, when I hit ''apply update''after some weird phrases appear it says ''failed to update''
I think it's because I have the GT-I9000T, and I've found files for the european version.
Any idea? Am I doing something wrong? I'm from.El Salvador,.please someone help me!

hmm. the easiest way for you to do it would be to root using Chainfire's method found in this thread:

READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

z4 root never did worked for me. tried it just once though. speedmod's root via cwm or CF Root are the ones that worked for me without any miss whatsoever.

Default My situation

Hello guys.
I am from Costa Rica, I do have the same cel phone version you have.

I tried z4root to temporary root my android, then I proceed to install OCLF 2.0 to remove the lag, but after I restarted the android it didn't come back again.

I was able to turn it on but it were stuck after the samsung introduction video.
Just a black screen and no way to do anything.
I tried to press UP, HOME and POWER to get into the recovery mode but it didn't work, so I almost had a brick.
Lookin over the internet I found a small .bat file that I ran with the android connected using the usb cable and I was able to run the factory reset.

Finally I think I got my cel to normal, but I dont know if there are still a few "orphan files" because of the z4root and oclf 2.0.

I am sharing this experience with you just to let know what may happen with our model, I think most of the apps are made for Europe and North America, we may have a small differences on our phones because not everything is compatible.

Hello, actually I got it in a store, the company in Costa Rica for telephones and communication is called ICE, but they haven't approved the cel phone to work here yet so I did configure it myself.

I think actually my phone comes from UK since all the software was showing UKs config.


Lo compre en una tienda aqui en Costa Rica, pero el telefono aun no esta homologado por el ICE, que es la compania de telecomunicaciones aqui.

Pero el telefono venia de europa creo, ya que todo venia configurado como si fuera del Reino Unido.

Mmm, creo que vos tenes mas chance de poder rootearlo, porque yo lo compré aquí en El Salvador pero el telefono es modelo GT-I900T que es la version para latinoamerica. Y por ahora no quiero flashear ninguna ROM, esperaré a que se acabe la garantía antes de trastear el cel.

Si correcto, de igual manera voy a esperarme 6 meses a que se le acabe la garantia para poder actualizarlo a Froyo 2.2.

Saludos
