You probably dont have drivers installed. They are included with samsungs media companion- kies. Search "kies" on google. Shouldnt be hard to find.

When I plug in my usb cable I see a kies upgrade for my firmware. Should I upgrade to that and will that fix the problem maybe

Late to the party. Root 'stalls' @ Step 7
Hey,
So I installed the drivers, disable virus scan & run Superoneclick2.2 and it Goes through several steps Killing..Starting...Waiting...etc... through Step 7, then it goes non-responsive.
I have done this dance three times with superoneclick & twice with InfuseRootUnlock_v4. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
So I am un-rooted. Stock Froyo. - Thanks!

Why dont you save the headache and Odin flash a pre rooted stock rom?? theres gtgx thread and h8rift among more many options....

I basically want to root just to open the possibility of flashing a GB Rom, but just wanted to perform this step prior to flashing anything.
This is my first Android. Was on EnergyROMs in the WM 6.5 arena.

Hahaa nice i was same place as you where... I had Fuze and then Touch pro2 running energy roms... Well man you could try an older version of super obe click but.. The new one never gave me trouble.
And if as you say, you want to root to possibly flash a GB ron later the possibukity of Odin flashing a pre rooted Rom its still a good choice if super one click keeps giving you trouble, it will basicly leave your stuff like pics music etc intact and flash a rom with root included ill add you a few thread links when i get to my pc.

Thanks koriotto. Very much appreceated. Not sure why I am having the issues. As I said, it is not just superoneclick giving me grief, but I tried a root & unlock_v4 as well.

Thanks for the links koriotto. I went with an earlier 1.9x superoneclick for now, but I will get thos links bookmarked!
I do have a question tho. Your links are for ultimate unbrick, right? So basically that is a staock rom for users to flash back to if they go too far down the rabbit hole?
- Thanks, Kevin

It works fine if you don't use zergrush as the exploit.
Zergrush kept hanging for me with latest superoneclick version.
Switched exploit to psneuter and it worked fine

Quick guide for flashing Gingerbread KF1 and rooting

I am not responsible for brick phones. This method worked for me. If there is any confusion or something is not clear, ASK!
I see Kaik541 has a thread in Dev section for an ODIN version of KF1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14782572&postcount=1
This is for those who want to flash and root from using the tar files.
I personally always remove my external memory and sim card before using odin. It is not needed as people will obviously post and neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.
1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm
2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.
3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image attached)
4) Flash fugu kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (I attached the zImage-root.tar to post if link does not work)
In the first post look for and select the download link in step 2: (credit to nikademus)
How to use:
1: Flash the stock rom
2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin
3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)
5: Reflash the original kernel
5) Flash stock kernel (attached kernelKF1.7z) credit to lownox for helping me on that
6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)
7) Install busybox from market
8) ENJOY!

thanks for the write up man

I want to do that but I haven't learn how to do anything beyond deodexed. I also still haven't had time to learn how to add "extras" like extended power menu or additional lock screens.
If someone wants to PM the instructions or a link to do so, I'll be happy to do and have it ready tomorrow.

Do we really need another Odin guide? Write one on heimdall. It's open source and actually maintained. It also has a lower brick rate.

Honestly I have never used Heimdall and have never had an issue with ODIN. With that said I also have no objection if anyone wants to write up the parts for Heimdall here or by PMing me, I'll add to it the first post. I am not about to reflash again just to learn a new process when the old one has not given me a single issue.

made a deodex version, just dont know what to do with it
its not ready for flash or anything and its just deodexed using illdroid.
Doesn't matter anyways until we get CWM working...

There's really nothing new to learn. It looks and loads almost exactly like Odin. Not sure what processes are different when you push the start button though. I'm not pushing heimdall, just conveying what i've seen with it. I used once to load the last Andro3.

Loving this ROM stock and all. Has anyone seen if 3e recovery (I think its called) has been enabled yet for KF1? Id like to be able to flash stuff again. Alternatively if anyone has a method for flashing items via a program that would be great as well.
Cheers!

[Q] Rooting KG4!?

I know about the original thread but it's too long and about random stuff.
So i flashed via Odin to the KG4, it's fast and smooth but i would like to root it so i can (a) get my apps back with titanium and (b) have some fun. However, when doing the z-image and z-image root files with odin, the phone would show a boot screen and then come back, it would do it every minute or so. But this only happened while rooted. I was wondering if there is another way to root KG4?
Also can i use a regular backup app to restore my apps and data even though its in a titanium backup file?

I take no credit for this...
Thanks to corradokng for this method and to dsexton for finding original root zimage!!
For Root Follow Below:
THIS IS FOR ODIN
1. Flash This zimage-root-tar
2. Let Boot Loop Twice, you should see a fish.
3. Boot Back into Download Mode
4. Flash this. zImage-KG4.tar.md5
5. You should now have Root
6. Hit Thanks
Both files can be foung in the OP of the Leaked KG4 thread

there is no other way to root Gingerbread as of right now, you will have to wait for corra's deodexed build that you can flash via cwm which will probably come out today or tomorrow, so you can wait or do the zimageroot.tar method

The next in the series of Odin flashable files, here's drhonk's Bali kernel for the SGS4G in an Odin flashable format! No more having to mess with pushing a custom recovery file to /system, as long as you have a Windows PC with Odin on it you'll be good to go.

Comes in 2 flavors, UV which is undervolted, and regular.
Please read drhonk's original thread for features and usage.

You will not lose your data with just flashing a kernel, but once you flash a new ROM, you will. Make sure you do a back up of your current ROM before you mess with anything.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Sorry for the noob questions, I'm used to a vibrant so this is all different to me. Just to be clear about what this does....basically it just roots the phone and adds cwm, but does not change anything about the phone other than that or wipe settings/ data?
I'm using a mac that I have parallels with xp on. Would this work that way? I had trouble trying to root before on parallels with superoneclick...the file just wouldn't run. Also, i'm assuming the phone needs to be in download mode for this to work?
Thanks.

You will not lose data. Yes, it gives you root and cwm. Yes, you have to be in download mode.
Are you dual booting or running vmware?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

i'm not exactly sure, i'm running parallels within osx so I think that would qualify as a virtual machine...I don't know what you mean by dual booting

Well, i've tried it in parallels and no luck. Odin opens fine and loads up the tar file. However it never recognizes the phone. I have the correct samsung drivers installed and windows recognizes that the phone is plugged in, it just doesn't make it into odin. It seems that there is just no way for me to root this phone with a mac, and unfortunately i don't know anybody with a pc. Oh how I wish somebody could make an app for the market that would root just like the vibrant...... it was sooo easy with that phone.....oh well

Well this isn't a vibrant, so I will end that argument there.
Are you in download mode when connecting to Odin?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Why not give heimdall a try. You can flash bali through odin and you'll get your phone rooted and get cwm installed.

yes, I am in download mode, it just doesn't show up. I've heard that odin can be picky about usb issues, so perhaps there are too many factors at play between the mac and windows interface for it.....I don't know. And, I'm definitely not trying to start a vibrant vs 4g argument, i understand that they are very different. I'm just frustrated that i'm having such a hard time rooting this phone.
I've never tried heimdall, is it a vm as well....similar to parallells?
Thanks for taking time to read this and give advice btw....it really is appreciated regardless of whether I get this working or not.

Heimdall is a flashing program for windows/mac/linux. The author of it reverse engineered Odin's file transfer protocol and made that program available for free.
