Rooting Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (FroYo) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello Everyone
First of all I am quite new so if I have done something wrong with this post someone let me know and I will try and put it right.
I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with RyanZA's z4root, but every time I do it, my phone vibrates and exits the rooting app (it is as though the phone is pressing the back button by itself).
Just to let you know incase I you wish to reply, the 3 button recovery mode does not work, but I know that it is recovery 3e and my phone was rooted on 2.1 in the same way I am trying to do it now. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Phone details
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 root(at)SE-S611 #1
Build number: FROYO.BVJP8

If you want to root your Samsung Galaxy S i9000, try Super One Click Root.

Nice one cheers!

[Q] Sylvania SYTABA848C - Need Help Rooting

Ok..So I received a new shiny Sylvania 8" Tablet, model SYTABA84C for Christmas. Here is the buildinfo:
ID: GINGERBREAD
PRODUCT: DGM912HC
DEVICE: DGM912HC
BOARD: DGM912HC
BRAND: ROCKCHIP
MODEL: DGM912HC
FINGERPRINT: rockchip/DGM912HC/DGM912HC:2.3.1/GINGERBREAD/eng.root.20111011.161318:user/test-keys
It is running Gingerbread 2.3.1
I have tried every root app I can find, including superoneclickroot, z4root, and various others. The Zergrush exploit seems to gain root, but when it comes time to push the su and superuser.apk to /system/xbin, it always gets permission denied. Apparently the filesystem (NAND) is read-only. Anyone have any idea how I can root this tablet? There is very little info on this tablet, and none that I can find on this site. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

[Q] Root unlocked SNS

Hello xda world! I am a n00b here so please have mercy on me.
I just bought the Samsung Google Nexus S i9020A 3G unlocked. I want to root it so I can use apps that require root access (Titanium Backup, AdAway, etc). I rooted my locked Samsung Captivate using SuperOneClick (discovered via lifehacker). I tried rooting the SNS with it, but it stopped responding at "running psneuter". I tried GingerBreak, but it stopped responding at "running gingerbreak". Can my SNS be rooted with SOC? If it can, how? If it can't, is there another one-click method? All the guides I found are complicated, and I'm scared I'll brick my phone. They also all start with unlocking your phone, which I don't need to do because it's already unlocked. Any help would be AWESOME... thanks!

Directions are scarce on that thread.
I downloaded the files, ran the script, and plugged in my phone with USB debugging mode on... nothing happened. Am I missing something?
try the guides at nexusshacks.com.
read and re-read the instructions until you understand what the steps mean and what the concepts mean.
it's not easy to brick the Nexus S. flashing the wrong radio image on the wrong model would be one thing that could brick it, so try to stay away from happy flashing radio.

Learn how to do it the proper way. Flash or boot a custom recovery with fastboot and flash the su.zip
Clicking away at one click crap and scripts when you have no idea wtf you're doing is just dumb IMHO.

[Completed] [Q] Root help? (SM-G357F)

So I just got a Samsung Galaxy Ace LTE Style and want to root it. The problem is, it's fairly new and I haven't been able to find any guide on it.
SO, should I try to now? or do I have to wait a few weeks?
I tried using Towelroot but it didn't work
I waited for about an hour and a half but the screen stayed inactive and I freaked out and did a hard reset. Should I try it again? I'm a little scared to.
Here are the details:
Android 4.4.4
Model Number: SM-G357FZ
Kernel Version: 3.10.28.-130114

Hi I cannot find any confirmed guides at this point. I also do not recommend trying anything that is not confirmed on xda. And by confirmed I don't mean 1 random post by some member claiming to have found root.
Your best bet is to be patient and check back every so often until a confirmed method is posted. That way you can enjoy your "functioning" albeit unroofed device.
I have a problem with my ace. Every time I call someone it gives me a slot. Then double tap to unlock. Can't find the settings to change it. Please help. It's so annoying

Yes sir I surely did, it did nothing but asked me too donate to his cause, but still was met with the same message in apps as any other non-computerized root method, but to my surprize I got it to work with kingroot, the second time around, and then something went wrong while the kingroot apk was taking root and now my phone does nothing but enter download mode and nothing else no recovery, no regular boot nothing at all just download

I'm not sure what to tell you then. I know there were 3 versions of towelroot. You just may be out of luck then

Is your phone still stuck in download mode or did you recover from that? Honestly, since you can get into download you can still fix your device I believe. Have you used Odin yet?
