Hello xda peeps,
This is my first post on the site so here's to hoping I don't break any rules .
I have recently upgraded to firmware 2.3.3 on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with above mentioned Kernel - XWJVN. I know there is a related post in the development section but I am yet to find a simplistic explanation of:
1. How I would firstly root the phone to access superuser rights.
2. What the most useful changes would be to make to my phone once it is rooted, considering I am still relatively noob.
3. Pretty much anything else I would need to know, ie. basic explanations of rooting, roms, flashing etc.
I apologise in advance if aforementioned have been answered to suit a newbie such as myself but I was not able to locate them anywhere on the site.
Any help would be apprecaited peeps.
Thanks

Hello, I am in need of a little help. I am a complete noob to android and have no idea really how the system works. I have a Samsung Galaxy S and have decided to root my phone for 2 reasons.. ap2sd and so I can install the lag fix. I have done a bit of reading and chosen the path I wish to take but would like some assurance and pointers. I am also unsure of: If I root my phone does this automatically mean that with a properly partitioned sd card that I can store apps 2 sd or do I still need to flash the handset with a new ROM and if so there I am stuck... I do not know where to begin with searching for the best ROM for me. Also I would like to know if after i've done this will the handset still be able to receive the official updates or will I just need to keep updating it myself!
Here is the rundown as far as i have got so far...
Samsung Galaxy S I9000/XXJF3 Updated!
All the programs for XP i need are downloaded (eg.net3.5/4, samsung drivers)
The root method I thought was best for me was that of TGA_Gunman
The lag fix I had chosen is by Chainfire
I have still to back up the original ROM with ClockWorkMod (Is this easy to do and if I need to use it will it bring me completely back to my original settings for warranty purposes, or is there other things I would need to do?)
Also could someone provide me with a link to the best noob proof SD partitioning method!!
Is there anything I'm missing here, or anything that could be done a better way!! Any and all pointers will be much appreciated....
P.s. I would be wanting to update to the official froyo update when it's available will this cause me problems and if so what must I do!
Thanks in advance

I don't know much about the galaxy s, but you might be better off asking this in the Galaxy S forum.

Hi all,
I am new to the galaxy sII phone and this is a great forum for info and help looking at previous posts, and I have some unix experience.
In a nutshell the only issue I have is which cf-root file do I need and where can I get it from. The latest rooting procedure would also be great, as there a quite a few different ones on the net.
I also found out that you can add root to he stock kernal or get a unsecure kernal. Which option is better? Below are the Phone details, thanks.
GT-I9100 Kernal version is i9100BOKF3-CL255512
BASEBAND VERSION IS I9100BOKF1
CSC I9100TMUKF1
Anyone have an answer, please, please, please.
Try here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 follow the instructions and you can't go wrong
You will find the CF-Root Kernel to match your's in Post 4.
Hope this helps
is this what you're looking for?
if not, you'll probably find answers in your device-specific forum
Hey everyone, I apologize in advance for my ignorance here. Mods, I searched for this to the best of my limited ability, and I don't think this exact thing is covered elsewhere (and I can't post in the Developers forums with a new account). If I'm mistaken and this is addressed, or if this is not the right place for this question, I apologize--please move it accordingly.
I have an ASUS ME127V which I rooted and installed Clockworkmod Recovery following the guides here in the Dev forums (this was about a year ago, so things may have changed in the interim).
Recently I've become aware of the SSL issues with Android 4.1.1, so I'd like to restore my tablet to stock and upgrade my Android version, but unfortunately I'm just coming up short every time I try to do this. I've tried the AMPC beta app that's linked to in the dev forum, but haven't managed to get it to work, partly because I'm not certain what other files I need.
Can anybody point me toward a simple step-by-step for unrooting/removing CWM/returning to stock?
Thanks for your help and patience.
Hello - im new here, and i wanted to ask for help.
Is there any chance to run nethunter/kali on samsung xcover3 - i mean rom like
Hell, or there is any custom rom to run on this device
And im totally new to modding anything at android, from what i can tell now my only success is rooting it.
Thanks for any constructive answers
Hello there guys and sorry if this has been asked before.
1. I'm a complete beginner at rooting (have never rooted any device before but read a few threads) and wanted to ask you guys on how to purge google completly after rooting.
2. Could you please also tell me, since we are flashing the stock firmware, which software is included there? Is everything the same after rooting with the difference of beeing admin and having more oportunities to work on the device?
Thank you in advance.
