[DUMP] T959VUVKB5 Deodexed/Rooted

The link below is a ZIP file that contains the /system and /data dumps from the Samsung Vibrant 4G.
I have removed SOME of the bloat, deodexed the APKs, and added root permissions.

I think it would have been better to include the bloatware, some people use those apps that come with the phone but whatever. Good work

Like I said, its for developers, and most developers remove all bloatware, then, if the user wants, they can re-download what they need.

He's just trying to help out guys. Once CWM gets built, you can flash this and you phone will be better optimized due to being deodexed.

Anyone tried manually copying over the Framework and App folders from this zip file into their existing file structure?

Wouldn't the rom already be deodexed out when it's released, or would we then need to flash this afterwards?

no, Stock is ODEX'd. You would need to deodex it. This would allow you to make themes, and modify system files.

Right, that's what I am saying. If we flash a custom rom this file would not then be needed by us, the "non-programmers"

Voodoo lagfix kernel for I897UCKB1

Guys:
Don't follow any instruction to flash this kernel on your captivate running official froyo I897UCKB1. I tried all advices and ended up bricking my phone. Luckily the unbricking method you can find.in xda saved me. But, i had to flash.back to JF6 (2.1 eclair stock) using odin3 and then went back to kies mini to get the official froyo. I am writing this for people who like to use stock froyo instead of any.custom roms. I had to waste my time because.some.people suggested a few methods without knowing it for sure. Most suggestions are great in this forum (thats how i used serendipity.for a while). But, some or one of the bad suggestions can brick your phone real bad. So, ask as many questions as possible before going with a suggestion you see. Preferably look at how to videos. If there are none out there. Then, WAIT!

It does work. Odin works fine. Also if you recovered your phone it was not bricked. A brick is a brick.

Then xda should remove the link for "how to unbrick" link. Brick is of two types. Soft and hard. What you mean is hard. What I meant b was soft. But, even soft.can cause serious issues. Post a video if you can. That will help a lot.

I did the sgs kernel flasher method. Heard voodoo voice prompts at reboot. In the end it said "lagfix deleted". I saw the same stock kernel after that. So, what am I missing. I did everything as suggested. Didn't miss anything. I think there is something missing here. SERIOUS. I HAVE ROOTED, FLASHED CUSTOM ROMS BEFORE. I think this is.crazy.

[Q] Can GingerBreak 1.2 ROOT galaxy s 4g?

I've been trying to root my Galaxy S 4g but failed every time... I went through all the appropriate threads evn the "Bible" but the oneclick rage against the cage will not work at all... Lost here...

Sorry, but you clearly didn't search enough. What you needed was on the first page of the development section.
Regardless, here's the stuff you need to root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032
Select whichever kernel you prefer. KH2 is supposed to be the most stable. Flash that through CWM or Odin (CSC).
Also, check SamsungGalaxyS4GMods on YouTube if you need a visual guide.

I would imagine since he's trying to root, he's not already running gingerbread. I'm betting he's on KD1, in which case he needs this thread
If you're trying to modify a phone in from-tmobile condition (KD1), that's the guide you want to follow
Edit: Herp Derp.... Didn't see the part where he said SOC didn't work...

Try this
Here, try this version of SOC. Also, you're enabling USB Debugging on your device, have made sure you're using the samsung USB drivers, and have tried more than one USB cable, right?

Rooting Samsung Galaxy S 4G on Gingerbread 2.3.5
Hi All - Can somebody give me a step-by-step instructions to root a Samsung Galaxy S 4G T959V running on Gingerbread 2.3.5 T959VUVKI1. I just read a article saying i can root it using dr.honks kernel mod but didn't understand the exact procedure to do it. Appreciate if someone can help.

Not really related, but you should try using KI3 instead. People have reported more stability from it. Rooting is the same too.

You ppl probably arent doing it right
1.Let kies flash GB
2.On first boot go in recovery and do factory reset and wipe cache to prevent boot loop like I had
3.Enjoy 2.3.6 GB

Just a bit of info. The posted TAR file is identical to the KJ6 leak from 10/28. I did binary comparison of the two TAR files, not a single byte changed. Actually even the file timestamps are the same.

Using Raver's ROMs was easier than reverting back to Froyo and then Flashing back to GB.

Yeah, it just means that Samsung didn't really change anything. So anybody who's already on leaked KJ6 don't need to reflash. Also whoever notices any speed increase with new KJ6, you have a perfect example of a placebo effect

A question i think i don't need the answer to, but someone else may. Does the Odin file contain bootloaders to move a user from Froyo to GB?
I'd hope that Sammy included the bootloader in the update.

Rooting Samsung Sgh-I896 on Rogers in canada

Hey everyone
I have been tiring to look up how to root my Samsung SGH-I896 that is on Rogers in Canada but have haven't been able to find and think that matches my phone info. I will list my firmware and other info if some can point me in the right way that would be nice.
Model = SGH-I896
Frimware = 2.3.3
Kernel version = 2..35.7-i896uxkh2-cl296008
Build number = GINGERBREAD.UXKH2
Thanks

I have the same phone and believe me it's not as easy as it is for the us users. Rogers actually takes code off the phone so that it's harder to root or unlock. I had to factory reset and use an at&t software instead of Rogers. After that everything was easy. Use one click root or anything like it
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2

I dont recall having any issues with rooting my phone back in the day. I recall being able to use superoneclick to get the job done on stock gingerbread.
Although if you are planning on installing a rom on your phone then root isnt required. Just flash CWM and then flash a rom. The roms come with root already installed on it.

I have tried super oneclick and it hang up at step 7 but maybe iam doing something wrong. I will try again later tonight. Thanks alot guys

It should work with your captivate. I used it to root mine and I did it on GB too.

Thanks guy i just got home and tried the latest version and it worked. Only thing is that when it roots it then my menus, and when i go to call some on run every slow. I un rooted it and it put everything back to normal. And ideas?

I used heimdal method front this post, was so easy I was kicking myself for not doing it earlier. I was 2.3.3 on robbers too.
PS I highly recommend cm10, i never imagined my i896 could run this fast.

I am trying to put cwm10 on it now but iam getting confused. What yo flash to it. look like everything is for i897 or has a different modem number so i don't know if i can flash it to my phone? At this point i was hoping that some that has a i896 phone on roger would post a link to the post that they used for there phone. But i may just have to try one i finded and.hope for the best.

I have the rogers version, I've unlocked it to use Koodo as a provider and have also installed CM10 (runs beautifully!). They are the same phone, ours just does not say at&t at the top of it (Samsung instead). I never bothered with rooting, which was a waste of time anyhow... move on from Gingerbread and you wont look back, I swear!

So I'm a total newbie here... so I don't have to root to get ICS or JB on my Captivate with Rogers? How exactly? I looked at the Heimdall method, but I still don't really understand.

I used Superoneclick with both Froyo and Gingerbread stock Rogers versions and it rooted just fine. Just need to follow the instructions.
I think for Froyo you had to do some really stupid stuff, like plug it in and take it back out 2-3 times but other than that it always worked great.
Worked so well I even made a donation to the developer.
If it hangs on you, I would suggest reading the thread to see if somebody developed a method that works. My Froyo image wouldn't root so I read the Rogers captivate thread and somebody posted telling me how to unplug and plug it back in, worked well.

I think I might have screwed up... I installed the unzipped ROM onto my external SD rather than the zipped one... what do I do now???

Can you get into recovery?
