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...
successfully rooted..........
now i need to know how to install live wallpapers......
thanks

Okay, I have been able to get ADB access to the I-Mobile i858; but I cannot get root. There is an SU program and Busybox pre-installed on this device. I tried changing the permissions of SU to 4755 and 6755 without success. It looked like it was trying but something is interfering with root. Maybe if we work together we can figure this out. I even modified a flash image to set the permissions when it flashed the new image. That still did not give me root.
Here is how you get ADB to connect. It is kind of a pain but at least now we can talk to the device.
1. Install the "Android Terminal Emulator" by Jack Palevich from the Android Market to your device.
2. Download the Android ADB device drivers from this link and un-rar them.
http://www.generalmobile.com/support/dstl1/DSTL1_USB_Driver.rar
3. Open Device Manager on your computer.
4. Make sure debugging is turned off on your device in Settings>Applications>Devices.
5. Open the Terminal Emulator you downloaded in step 1 and type in the following command "<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>".
6. Go back to Settings>Applications>Development on your device and turn USB Debugging on. Click OK when prompted to confirm.
7. Plug the USB cable into your i858 and then your computer's USB port. In my tests using a reliable hub is okay.
8. You will see a device under Universal Serial Bus Controllers that says either "USB Mass Storage Device" or "USB Composite Device." Watch that section in Device Manager to see which one is the new one when you plugged in your device.
8. Uninstall the Mass Storage or Composite Device that was added to Device Manager when you plugged in your computer. You do this by right-clicking it and selecting "Uninstall".
9. On Device Manager Click the Actions pull down menu and click "Scan for hardware changes".
10. If you are lucky an unknown Android Device will no be listed in the Device Manager as not working due to no drivers installed. Go to properties of this device and update drivers browsing to the folder when you unzipped the drivers downloaded in step 2 above. The Android ADB drivers will now install.
11. If that doesn't work keep uninstalling the Mass Storage or Composite Device and rescan until the Android Device appears in Device Manager.
12. If you unplug it you will have to go back to step 4 but you can skip step 5.
13. If you reboot or turn off your device you will have go to back to step 4.
14. Unfortunately, I have to do this ritual every time I want to connect to the device by ADB; but heck it sure beats having no ADB access at all.
Now that you guys have ADB access let's rock this device, root it and have some fun. I spent all day trying to root it without success. I did manage to make the phone do some weird things and reboot a couple of times. I was changing permissions for the pre-installed "su" program in "/system/bin" but obviously there is something else that needs to be done to root this device. At least we are one or two steps closer now.
Thanks for sharing with us your work
For me i just delete apps befor i flash the rom because after when the apps installed i can t delet them because there are protected.

If the device was rooted then you could delete them on the phone.
I-Mobile i858 has been rooted!!!
Okay, the I-Mobile i858 comes pre-rooted but there is something wrong with the way it was setup and root doesn't work. You download a program called Universal Androot and let it re-root the device so that it corrects whatever mistakes the ODM put in that made root not work. In your browser go to the following URL and install the program.
http://bit.ly/cwNm9u
When you run the program it says the device is already rooted; but there is some problem as the rooting is not complete. So you tell the program to root the device again. After it is done the device is rooted and stays rooted after reboot. Programs like Boot Control that require root access now work. There is a SuperUser Authorizer app that will intercede the first time and ask you if you want to give root permission to that app. That is a good thing and will protect you from malicious programs getting root that can cause you all kinds of nightmares.
But, I am root and I still cannot uninstall the pre-installed apps. How do you do that even as root? I am missing something.
hey great new s thanks for your work today i went to the i-mobile shop in samui and there say rom update is official confirm to 2.1 or maybe 2.2 there dont know excactly
Now i have root thanks. But following problem when i try to delete some apps that pre installed.

Any pre-installed apps cannot be deleted the normal way. Install Titanium Backup from the Android Market and let it have root when requested. You can use that program to uninstall pre-installed apps with root.
Rooted! ADB! Now this device gets much more useful! Great work jboxer, thanks!
BTW the rooting app has been updated to v1.6.1

I have downloaded the one click and samsung drivers. The program opens fine. But I have read some people getting phones messed up from rooting with this program?
Should I remove the SD card first before rooting?
Does this program work with 2.2 one click for Galaxy?
Thanks!
Hey
the version i used is 1.7 and no problem here ....
I have read somewhere that you should unmount your sd card , well i didnt and still got phone rooted..
i dont see much of problem with it ..... it will take around 5 mins so just be patient.....dont forget to install samsung drivers .... and put phone into developer mode
Can not get it to work.
Yes I did download Samsung drivers succesfuly.
Yes I enabled Debugging mode succesfully
Tried using both One click 1.7 in Rage mode. Tries to work but just cursor flashing and does nothing.
Then used the other One click program that comes up with BLUE SAMSUNG I9000 and has choice to One click 2.1, 2.2 or remove root.
I choose 2.2 and then phone resets like when I used Clockwork on my old HD2.
I chose correctly to install the files.
PHone loads files but then get error code and wont install them. Reads Signiture Verification Failed!
I read others having same issue of phone not letting files install.
Anyhelp!
I know its not rooted as Titanium Backup is not getting root permission..

Down root check fron the market. Just because Titainium is not getting root permission does not mean it's not rooted. It’s not that difficult to root the SGS 4G Phone. The first thing you need to do is make sure your phone is communicating with your computer. Install the Samsung USB drivers.(make sure you have the right drivers for your O.S. either 32bit or 64bit) In your phone go into Settings/Applications/Development and make sure you check “USB debugging”. Connect your Tethering cable to your phone. On your home screen you should see “USB Connected” popup on top of your screen. You should be able to press USB connected button from the drop-down menu on the home screen and see the external SD card on the computer now. If that works then Turn off USB storage. (leave “USB debugging” checked) Then Download SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse, expand the file and go to SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse Directory. Run the SuperOneClick App. When it opens don’t change anything and just click “Root” and let it run. It should say rooted when done. Then go to the Market on your phone and get Titanium Backup and install it. It will ask for SuperUser permission and accept that on your phone. If that fails press “Problems” button, Then “Get Busybox”. Install the new Busybox. You may have to close and reopen Titanium Backup again. BTW this post should be in general.
yeah, i dont suggest you use rage. it took forever for me to root the phone that way. i left it on psneuter and it rooted in about 5 minutes

Thanks guys! Yes Rage was the issue. I followed his instructions and left in pnuueter and it worked perfectly! Now my Titanium is rooted and working.
Now if we could just get a good Apsd to let us format the SD card to ext 4 that would be a perfect world!
Thank you.
Moved to proper forum.

^ thats what i forgot to tell him to change it lol
Rooted my SGS4G using Superoneclick.
2 things I noticed. Your AV will think that Rage is a virus. NOD32 kept quarantining it. I turned off both AV and FW.
Also, after you install the Samsung USB driver, reboot your computer. I had that "waiting for device" message until I rebooted computer. Then it flew. The driver doesn't offer to reboot, or tell you to.

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?

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?)

Its pretty easy push the power button in thenphone and hit the spacebar about 5-10 seconds later

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:for recovery go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354387
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Download Superoneclick 2.2
------------------------------------------------------------
(((((((((((((((((((((www.4shared.com/file/ICp5e5Fc/SuperOneClickv22-ShortFuse.html))))))))))))))))))))))))
----------------------------------------------------------------
After downloading extract it anywhere you please. Now go to ur system folder i.e where you have installed your OS (i.e Win xp, win 7 etc) Lets say its in the 'X' Drive. So go to X:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe and copy it, now go to where you installed Superoneclick. Inside the folder there'll be a folder as "ADB" open it and paste the 'cmd.exe' you copied.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
2. Now you need the LG ADB Drivers
Download the drivers and install it:-
-------------------------------------------
(((((((((((((((((((((www.junefabrics.com/bin2/LGDriver.exe)))))))))))))))))))))
--------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you restart after installing the drivers.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
===============================================================================================================
==============================================================================================================
3. Connect your Device
After installing the Drivers Connect Your Optimus Net using the data cable. In your Device go to settings>Applications>Development>USB Debbuging. Check the box beside it. It will give you a warning just click OK. When you connect your Device you will see 'Turn USB storage on" option DO NOT TURN IT ON. After connecting you will see in the notification bar that "USB Debbuging On" it means you have done evrythng ok uptil now.
Now before rooting Go to settings>Storage>Unmount SD Card it will ask you if you want to unmount click OK. After it is unmounted you can begin rooting. MAKE SURE YOU UNMOUNT THE SD CARD OTHERWISE IT MAY BE COMPLETELY ERASED.
4. Now Let's Root
Now Go to the ADB folder. Remember the cmd.exe you pasted there? Click on it.
WINDOWS 7 USERS MAKE SURE BEFORE CLICKING CMD YOU RIGHT CLICK AND CLICK ON 'RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR' AND ALLOW
In the commands write the following:- [Give the exact spaces i have given OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT WORK!!]:-
adb devices (press enter)(after this command you should see your device id)
adb shell (press enter) (after this command you should see $ sign)
$ echo 1 >/data/local/lge_adb.conf (press enter)
DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW JUST MINIMIZE IT!!
Now go to Where you extracted Superoneclick and click on superoneclick.exe.
In the window on the Top Left hand Side of the window there will be an option 'ROOT'.
CLick on it!
it doesnot come on 3.4+
now i am rebooting my device
note:::[+] Rush did it ! It's a GG, man ![+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!
when you get this message reboot your phone so that reboot process completes successfully
Hence, you have a rooted Optimus Net do whatever you want
Post replies and tell me if it worked

P/s: Bcs I'm a girl, so I don't know much about Android, so pls help me bro
Like ChickenCanFly, I am having problems with device manger recognizing the device and it return allowing ADB to display the device. I have tried the LG driver from above, and also the drivers provided from LG's website with no success. I tried on two different Windows 7 (32bit), Win Server 08 R2 (64bit) and Windows XP Pro (32bit) with no positive outcome. It seems that I can not get this phone to be recognized by any version of Windows. Any help would be appreciated.

Once Installed, choose "Install USB Driver"
Then choose the model number of your phone. (Can be found by pulling the battery and looking on the info panel)
Install and then go through your rooting method.
Hope this helps someone else!

This tool should help you do just that:

It does support our phone the LG Optimus Net.
It also can root your phone for you too.
But if I root my phone and then unroot, then can I take it to the guarantees, would they be able to see that I have had my phone rooted? Would they accept my phones guarantees?

No they shouldn't if you completely removed the software changes and undo any other customizes such as changing the boot animation and UI tweaks.
I had a phone that had a custom bootloader, custom animations and custom rom with root, and the screen broke and I turned it in for a replacement and Verizon didn't say I word. I heard that in most cases the company the deals with exchange don't spend too much time playing around with the device to see what you did or no do to its software. Don't take my word for it though.

A few days ago I've tried using ADB but it said my device is offline. Earlier I tried ADB over network. Again, it said my phone is offline. So I wanted to see if I can get ADB access from the bootloader. Surprize: I can't get into the bootloader. If I turn my phone off and press Volume Down + Power, it just boots.
Now, my phone is working good, I just wanted adb access to do that darn EFS backup. And what's up with that "can't get into bootloader" stuff? I did it fine and dandy when I rooted my phone..
EDIT: well, since I can not do the backup the normal way, I just downloaded the efs folder as a zip. and dev/block/. Is it as effective as the normal way?

It is Vol-Up + Power for bootloader. And you can't have adb access in bootloader mode. Only fastboot access.
Ok but why isn't adb working? Why does it always say it's offline?

It could be that you installed some software/driver that overrides a working USB driver.
Try install Google USB driver from Android SDK Tools.
Install Android SDK Tools
When SDK Manager runs, select Google USB Driver, see attached pic
If missed, run SDK Manager again as Administrator
Also, make sure you turn on Developer options and "check" Andoid (USB) debugging option in Developer options setup.

Do you have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB interface showing in your device manager?
Try uninstall and reload again.

Still it says offline.
(thank you for trying to help me )
In fastboot mode it looks like this:
just tested at work and it says "device" instead of "offline" which is good I think. The only difference is that at work I installed the SDK long after I got it at home and it has a slightly different folder structure and it also comes with eclipse.
Resolved. Downloaded the new SDK with ADT from the android site and it works. Please forgive me for posting so many times. Can someone please delete this thread?

Good for you.
Anyway, if you followed post #4 and installed the new SDK Tools, would have saved you a lot of time.
