ROOTING:
Since z4root, one of the easiest ways to root, is not working on Froyo in Galaxy 3, I decided to make this separate thread for instructions on how to root Froyo using Superoneclick.
First and foremost: Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development. Make sure it is ticked.
Download the attached Superoneclickv1.5.zip file. Extract its contents. Make sure your phone drivers are installed on the computer (Samsung Kies). Then follow the steps:
1. From the extracted contents, run the file named Superoneclick.
2. Turn off your phone, then connect it to the computer using the USB Cable. Don't turn on the phone. Keep it off but connected to the computer.
3. In Superoneclick, click on the 'Root' button. After a few seconds, it'll say 'Waiting for device'.
4. Now turn on your phone (while it is still connected to the computer). Superoneclick will detect the phone.
5. Now the phone will be rooted, while it is starting up. When it is started, it'll be rooted.
6. After rooting, download and install busybox on your phone. It should take care of any slowing down of your phone after rooting.
That's it. The phone is now rooted, although it would be so much better if z4root worked on Froyo..
For those getting stuck at the 'pushing raceagainstthecage' step, try this method. Credits go to haree:
1. login as admin and then open the application. Or right click on Superoneclick.exe and click on 'Run as administrator'.
2. turn off ur Virus protection
3. remove all the additional external USB devices(this seems to confuse the SW)
i removed all the above mentioned
and then follow the instructions u will be successful
it worked for me now i have 2.2 and rooted

UNROOTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Unfortunately, the method to unroot by clicking on the Unroot button in Superoneclick does not work. So follow the following steps to unroot.
1. Download rootexplorer.apk (attached) and install Root Explorer on phone.
2. Run Root Explorer. A 'Superuser Request' prompt will come up. Press Allow.
3. Now, on the top, there will be a button saying 'Mount R/W'. Press it. It should change to 'Mount R/O'. The button should say 'Mount R/O' in order for you to be able to do anything in the following steps.
4. Now scroll to the bottom, click on system. Then click on bin.
5. In the bin folder, look for a file named 'su'. Long press on this file, and select Delete to delete it.
6. Now go back to the system folder by pressing the Back button once.
7. Now enter the app folder. Scroll down and look for the file named 'superuser.apk'. Long press on this file and delete it.
8. Exit Root Explorer after this. Uninstall it if you don't want to use it.
9. That's it. Your phone will be un-rooted.
Another method to unroot:
1. Download and install Terminal Emulator (attached).
2. Run Terminal Emulator on the phone. If you don't see a keyboard to type, press Menu and press Toggle Soft Keyboard.
3. Type su and press enter. Press Allow on the 'Superuser Request' prompt. The $ sign will change to a #.
4. Now type the following line exactly as it is and press enter: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
5. Nothing will happen visually. The pointer will shift to a new line.
6. Now type the following line and press enter: rm /system/bin/su
7. Again, type following line and press enter: rm /system/app/superuser.apk.
8. Now exit Terminal Emulator. Your phone is un-rooted.
Hehe, first i thought it makes no sense to write a howto on this since its described in the SOC thread anyway, but man the idea to do it during boot is ubercool, didn't think of that...

I know it's explained in the SOC thread, but many people keep asking on the "Samsung Galaxy 3 GT-i5800: root, gps fix, upgrading" thread about rooting Froyo, so I thought it's better to have one SOC thread right in the Galaxy 3's Development Section. It'll save everyone reading through a lot of pages on that thread..

Can't unroot using the same procedure, but have added another procedure to do it.
This method does work for everyone. The only new step in my procedure is to do it while the phone is booting.

Are your phone drivers properly installed? Does your computer make a 'Hardware connected' ding sound when you turn on the phone? If not, then you'll have to install Samsung Kies and then connect the phone to the computer to install the drivers. Try rooting after that.
all drivers are installed.. i reinstalled twice.. when i connect in usb debugg.. says installing some adb stuff after fews secs.. comp says hardware might not work properly not properly installed. all other drivers wrk fine.. wat can i do to install adb drivers properly. . i have windows xp

Connect your phone to your computer. Then open the Device Manager. Then look for the entry 'SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface' in the list. It might be under the ADB Interface tab. Right click on the 'SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface' and uninstall it.
Then reconnect your phone to the computer and see if the ADB drivers get installed properly this time.
did that also....uninstalled and connected the phone. still the same error..
hardware not properly installed.. it might not work properly
i got windows xp 32-bit

I can't help if the drivers on your computer are not installed properly. After connecting the phone while it is ON, open the Device Manager and see if the ADB driver is properly installed.
If the drivers are properly installed, this method will work..
Edit: As mentioned by mhndk14 below, enable USB Debugging in Settings>Applications>Development.
I also had the same problem with windows 7. Just make sure that the USB Debugging is enabled and then try again. It worked for me.
how to bring the phone back to factory settings

To remove the Live Wallpapers, you'll have to root your phone, and then use Root Explorer to remove the files Livewallpaperspicker.apk from system/app, and libRS.so and librs_jni.so from system/bin. Then un-root your phone. Be sure to press the 'Mount R/W' button in Root Explorer to be able to delete the files.
As for restoring your boot menu, that procedure is there somewhere in the Development section. The boot menu changes because of upgrading, not rooting.
It seems i have lost haptic feedback after rooting(jpb), anybody else experience this?
Edit: lol
It was probably sue to the "forced" reboot, but I accidently dropped my phone (batteries feel out) and now it's working

Yeah, haptic feedback stops working sometimes on JPA and JPB after rooting. But restarting the phone corrects it. (Although your method of restarting the phone was too brutal!! )
Thanks addicted2088...worked perfectly...

This is a a new one from what I have seen, after several random restarts I flashed back to stock and was able to install the jh7 update. I rooted with z4root. I wanted to enable sideloading and used a guide that allowed you to change the settings.db file in sqlite and reinstall to the settings folder under dbdata. The instructions were to delete the file and so I did, but to my horror I was not able to past the new file into the directory using root explorer. Knowing that something bad was going to happend I restarted anyway and low and behold, the phone no longer boots past the S screen. The screen goes black and the buttons on the bottom turn on but thats all you get. I tried the hold volume buttons and plug in. I also tried hold volume buttons and power. I tried to make my own jig using three 100 ohm resistors as shown on youtubne and nothing gets me into download or recover modes. I have ordered a jig from a guy over and androidforums hoping for user error in my jig attempt. Anyone have any suggestions, my build is 1009 rev .04. My computer does recognize the the partitions when I plug it, but of course I can not mount. Is there a way in either windows or linux to force a mount, and to get into the file system to restore the back up I made. Without this settings.db file will I even be able to enter recovery or download mode? Thanks for any help you can give.

Can't you get into download mode through vol up + vol down + usb cord? That's used by sbl.bin, which shouldn't be affected.

A) this is not a brick, your phone still powers on
B) if you were rooting, you should have enabled USB debugging before attempting to do so, so when you turn your phone on, plug the USB in and use adb from the android sdk to get into download mode. "adb reboot download"

Might as well be a brick. The root went fine, everything was good till I deleting the settings file. What I am hoping for is a way to force mount the internal memory if possible and cut and paste the back up copy in.
you just need to go through the various methods to get into download mode.
pull battery -> Pull sim card -> Insert battery -> hold power up and down while plugging in the USB with Odin already open
adb should work in recovery and likely where the phone is hanging during boot as well.

if you have the setting.db file saved on your computer you can do an adb push.
I am not really sure of adb, I downloaded the android development kit, and it told me I needed the Java SDK, so I downloaded and installed that. But the development kit tells me Java is not installed.

I am assuming that you are on a 64bit windows.
the android sdk installer is looking for the 32bit version of java, so go download and install the java jdk/sdk for 32bit windows.
I am not able to put my phone into debug mode will adb still work?
Also do you have to be in debug mode for Odin if so then I guess I am really screwed.
You do not need to have it in debug for odin and adb is enabled in recovery regardless of debug setting.
Well that is very good to hear, now if I could only get into recovery mode.
Well good news, I followed this dude's tutorial and am back. Thanks for all the replies guys.

Just wondering what is the best method to root a Samsung replenish. Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I'm wondering the same. I've tried using rageagainstthecage, gingerbreak and psneuter. The first makes the phone vibrate alot. The second just sits there and the third looks like it runs comlpetely but still no #. Anyone tried anything else?
Edit: z4root causes the constand vibrate. rageagainstthecage kills adb and adb will not recognize my device until I reboot the phone.
have you guys figuered out how to root the replinish yet??
I'm still trying. I don't think anything out there right now is going to work without doing some coding and I'm not a coder. Anyone know what irc channels I can hit up for some tips on the android exploits used for rooting?
This may help or not get closer to root.
To boot into Android Recovery Hold U down while powering on....or do 'adb reboot recovery' (requires android sdk tools)
If you hold down Q while powering on you get some verbose output instead of the first www.samsungmobile.com screen.
If you power down then hold Q while you plug in you charger you'll get some verbose output on right below the battery icon.
Bootloader appears to be Little Kernel based. Anyone have experience with that?
you guys think Gingerbreak might work?

I have my replenish rooted, here's the files.
Extract KMS.zip
Remove SD Card
run PrevailToExistence.bat
Done
KMS will root this phone, run the bat and follow the directions, after you unmount the sdcard and enable usb debugging its best to reboot the phone. seems to have teh highest success

I'm new to this, so let me see if I have this process down:
I hookup my Replenish to the PC without the SD card.
I transfer PrevailToExistence.bat to the device (where/which folder)?
I run the file within the device.
Is there anything else that needs to be done to root the device that most people would have already assumed to do?

Unfortunately this did not work at all for me. I have the drivers correctly installed because if I put an SD card in, I can read/write to the sd card from my wife's replenish. I did remove the SD Card before trying this & USB Debugging was enabled. This is the screenshot of what came up. Also why is it that this says its for the Samsung Prevail? Does this batch file also work for the replenish? Anyway take a look at the screenshot & tell me what I did wrong because I followed the above instructions with no success.
UPDATE*** I ran the batch file & rebooted the phone when the batch file said "waiting for phone to reconnect" while it was rebooting, the batch file continued to run and failed........BUT, after it rebooted, I ran the batch file again never disconnecting the phone and I finally had success. Thank you for this method but more detailed instructions would have made this as easy as it really is. Thanks.

I just tried your method, and was unsuccessful, I had my card unmounted, usb was in debug mode. maybe there was something else you had to do?
update: I pressed space to continue as I powered on my phone, and it worked fine, many thanks to everyone!
Worked on a coworkers Replenish, here's what I did to make it work:
0. Did not install drivers (I already have samsung captivate drivers and samsung transform drivers from rooting previous phones, so the phone was already recognized)
1.Unzipped KMS.zip on my computer.
2. Put phone into USB Debug mode. Plugged in USB cable.
3. (Phone is currently on) Removed SD card.
4. Ran bat file.
5. Received errors identical to those screencap'd by PRBajista above.
6. Powered phone off (left it plugged in).
7. Powered phone back on.
8. After the boot logo, but before the lock screen came up, I ran the bat file again.
9. Bat file ran sucessfully, phone rebooted by itself and was rooted.
I'm guessing the correct process for rooting this phone is to do exactly what I did (install drivers for step 0 if you don't have already), except skip step 4 and 5.
seems very coordinated... what if I have bad reflexes? (in other words, no other way to root?)
D
Its pretty easy push the power button in thenphone and hit the spacebar about 5-10 seconds later

Ok I just picked up one of these and it's rather different from other Aos phones i've rooted. you need to have SDK installed with Platform-tools
try to put them on C: if not just be able to navigate to the Dir to acess the adb shell. If you need help just google how to acess adb shell and im sure you can find a vid on youtube to help.
Rooting this phone isnt something hard. I didn't make the zip file All credit goes to Vadim for actually doing that. I took the update.zip file from the root method of the Huawei Ascend II and flashed it onto my Activa using adb.
The obligatory "I am not responsible to what happens with your phone and you flash this image at your own risk etc etc.. You all basically know the drill ;P"
Before starting make sure that you have the Android sdk installed on your computer. (I recommend installing it to the root directory of your hard drive)
Also install the USB Drivers by auto running the program when you plug in your phone via usb.
Make sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled
And now the process:
1.Download the update.zip via download link below.
2.Copy the download to the root of your phones SD Card
3.Hop on over to command prompt and go into the platform-tools directory of the SDK 'cd \whatever.path.to.sdk\Android\platform-tools'
4.Run 'adb devices' and make sure your device is there, it should say M920
5. If its there then reboot with recovery. 'adb reboot recovery'
6. Once booted into recovery then use the volume up and down buttons to scroll up and down and to select press camera button and then press power button. (Not at the same time )
7. Choose update from SD Card.
8. Choose the update.zip from the root of your drive.
9. After its done then reboot your phone and its rooted
anyway google root activa 4g and theres a youtube vid that will help. =it also can be found here "://androidforums.com/activa-4g-all-things-root/576135-guide-how-root-your-activa-4g.html"
This method does work but the binary is still outdated and Su fails when trying to update it.. but it still runs root exploreer just fine so you'll be able to remove whatever you want. As far as Dev work for this I am still trying to find a custom recovery img and hopeing some rom ports may be available soon. I'll post again if i find anything hope this helps..
(^^)\/
Any update on this? I know it has been over 6 months, but it still seems to be the only root thread on the Internet for this phone. Haven't tried it yet, but if I am understanding you right then the functionality of this root will be very limited. (no SU at all?)
I'm just wanting to tether it so my wi-fi only Nexus 7 can have mobile data.

Do you need a custom rom just to tether?
Another interesting note: Called MetroPCS about adding hot spot plan for this phone and they told me its not possible and I have to get a Quatro or something... That can't be right can it? I thought all modern Android devices with wifi can make wifi-direct or whatever tethering uses...

how to root huawei without computer
All you need to do is download baidu root from 4shared the one with 2001 at the endorsement it and then press root then your phone should be rooted
Ok so I recently picked up a Huawei Ascend Y (H866C) from Straight talk. Now I'm no noob to rooting and roming but this thing has got me beat, from near as I can tell Huawei has locked the bootloader and disabled fastboot.
Without fastboot I can't flash a recovery, without the recovery I can't get SU, without SU I can't do ADB shell and push anything to /system; so i'm stuck in a never ending loop.
Does anyone know of a way to remount the system in r/w mode without SU, or for that matter maybe just a way to unlock fastboot mode?
Again I'm not some noob whining cause he can't get rooted, I've spent quite a few hours googling, looking up other forums, and running tests myself and have only now come to ask for help. So please no one tell me to google it or to stop whining.
Thanks

i know that i am new to rooting but i do really know how to root.
first, try superoneclick.
disable all antivirus and enable usb debugging.
if that doesn't work, use gingerbreak if you are on gingerbread.
also, disable antivirus.
also, try doomlord's easy rooting toolkit.
if that doesn't work, try kingroot.
remember to use the apk.
otherwise, use the root tool at shouji.360 .cn/ root
hope that helps.

How Can I Perform a Forced Upgrade?
Download the upgrade package from http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do. Use the unzipping software on your computer to decompress the upgrade package. Do not change the name and structure of the dload folder that is contained in the upgrade package. Use a USB cable to connect your phone to your computer. Copy the dload folder to the root directory of your microSD™ card. Disable the USB mass storage feature of your phone. Upgrade the software of your phone using the dload folder on your microSD™ Card. a. Power off your phone. b. Press the volume up and volume down keys at the same time. The upgrade screen with a progress bar is displayed. c. When the progress bar reaches 100%, remove the battery from your phone for 3 seconds. d. Reinstall the battery on your phone, power on the phone, and then wait for the system to start up.

Do any of those temp-root exploits work on the phone? Can you boot the phone into recovery/download mode? Google "manually root android" and try some of the methods there.
