this is well known. stop being a newbie and read a little.
you need to pre root the Rom or root with a custom kernel. all thw custom kernels on the board have root scripts in initramfs. take your pick and flash in odin by pulling the zimage from the update package of your favorite kernel and achiving it as a .tar.
you can also pre root the Rom by putting super user in the /system/app folder and su binaries in the xbin folder using magic iso before you flash the package.

If I understood correctly, I should be able to open factoryfs.rfs with MagicISO, modify it (add Superuser.apk/su ) and pack it back to the tar. Then the tar is still flashable with Odin and root is done? Thanks.

People need to quit being ASSHATS on this board
People need to stop assuming others can't, don't, won't search for answers before posting. "Read a little" Seriuosly??
I spent 2 friggin hours between these boards and google searching for help before posting this. The few workarounds I found did not work for me and a lot of the posts did not have answers, just comments.
Perhaps I used the wrong search terms or looked in the wrong places, but I am darn sick of seeing people assume some of us newbs don't try to help ourselves before posting.

It's impossible for us to know how much work you did before you posted if you don't tell us though. Not defending the rude behavior, because there's far too much of it across the Internet, but I had no way of knowing that from your first post, so I have to assume you didn't do that research. Maybe if you in your OP had outlined all the things you tried and all the research you had done, the response might be different. We do automatically assume that the research hasn't been done, because the vast majority of people simply don't do it. That is evidenced in their threads and posts, because again we simply have no way of knowing anything about you that you don't explicitly put into text. With that said, I haven't encountered the issue that you're having, so unfortunately I can't speak to how to fix it for you. I am using the latest CM7 which has that baked in already.

Which thread are you referring to?

I tried adding the su binary and superuser.apk to factoryfs.rfs and re-tarred the files, flashed in odin succesfully but the phone keeps rebooting after the AT&T rethink possible boot logo.

Mine did this twice when I originally flashed it, and I had not altered anything in the files.
I uses Gtg's ultimate unbrick to go back to stock and then it went thru fine.

Yes this worked for also. I odin-ed infusion kernel, then odin-ed the stock kernel. Root was still there and i had the stock kernel in place, only downside is the rom itself is still a bit buggy and laggy and the rainbows at boot, along with no recovery after flashing the stock kernel.
Had to odin back to stock to flash custom roms again.

once you have root get sgs kernel flasher and keep a custom kernel backed up.
also entropy has a new kernel that should fix wifi on this. it should only leave the hdmi inoperative. just fyi.
I thought the ki3 build was very good and smooth before I deodexed it which didn't work out as well as I hoped. not a daily driver but maybe with the new entropy kernel who knows.

Hi all i just flashed to GB using Odin. Question: Now that I've done that can I root to get rid of all the bloat apps? Is it necessary? I've looked at other threads, maybe I misunderstood? Please be easy on me, I'm still getting used to all the terminology.

I dont have GB anymore because when i first flashed the status bar closed down and my phone ****ed itself. But what i can tell you is to go back to froyo. and use WhiteHawks GB flashable through krylons clockworkrecovery. That one allready comes with root(which people were having problem with the odin one)

what are you looking for?
You must be rooted AND have a deodexed rom. Look in the dev threads and choose one (be very careful what you delete, the wrong thing can really screw up your os)

Am I correct in saying that flashing to GB via Odin means my current rom is odexed? And if so I would have to flash back to stock then root, etc.?

Well upon reading this I'm sure you're going to shake your head at me, but I ended up reverting back to stock and now attempting to root using superoneclick. *thumbs down* I'll keep you posted,wish me luck.
Superoneclick is not going to work. The bootloaders are encrypted. Visit Whitehawkx thread in Android Development, the process is explained thoroughly. Once completed you will have a Deodexed rooted version of GB KF1.
Good luck..

[HOW-TO]EXT4 on GummyCharged1.9RC1 (EP1Q)

awesome thanx for figuring it before i had to try a thousand combonations...
This is awesome!
How long should it stay at Samsung after doing all of the steps? I did all of the steps. Samsung flashed several times. Now its just staying at Samsung. Been this way for a couple of minutes.
sdcard issues
ok, first of all I did this and everything worked fine.
Upon first reboot, I think it went 4 or 5 times through the samsung bootloop and then loaded the rom (i wasn't watching it fastidiously).
Upon loading the rom and loading my apps from titanium backup, I finally hit the issue of not being able to move apps to the sd card; it just comes up with "failed to move application". I've rebooted just to make sure things weren't off from first boot. It's still not letting me move any apps to sd (even if allowed in the os).
Any ideas on what to try next?
I'm still at Samsung logo. Don't think its going to load the Rom. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Following the steps. This is the second time I've tried this.
NM, figured it all out.
Going to give it a shot shortly.
This failed to work 3 times. Going back to RFS Gummy.

From what I have read over at Rootzwiki, that seems to be a problem exclusive to Imnuts' hacked kernel (possibly, he posted that he is looking into it as some users used his kernel and didn't have this problem). This process uses another kernel.
I was waiting for more users to give reports back, but I might just give this one a go.

Hrmm. Well for the people it isn't working for, try following the guide here to at least get a good copy of EP1Q on there and working first. Then follow my process.
Sucks that the imnuts kernel isn't working right yet. I would love to have the EP1Q kernel working on this, would be much more ideal.
It breaks root for me too. Come one imnuts, i know you know what is causing it, you are a smart cookie. Put out an updated zip already lol...

I executed this method using Imnuts kernel and kept root (Thankfully). However I looked at the post to confirm EXT4, and my Terminal Emulator doesn't match the one posted at all. Right now, it's just showing data and dbdata on EXT4, the rest is still on RFS. Is this normal for GB? I can post the exact coding if needed.

CWM to root? Or root to CWM?

OK before anyone blasts me yes I have researched for two days now and feel like I have been run in circles. I have searched XDA and Google to no avail and no I'm not a noob. I myself have a galaxy s2 skyrocket but recently got my wife the infuse and I'm starting to think that was a mistake. OK this is what I've found...
I type in Google how to install CWM recovery on the infuse and every thing I find says it must be rooted first.
Running Android 2.3.6 update thru Samsung kies....
So I type in how to root the infuse and what I find is if you want to root without flashing a new kernal you must have CWM to install a zip file from the SD.
Seems like one big circle. To root my skyrocket was easy as flashing a recovery image in Odin of CWM recovery and opening a super user zip file to root. 5 minutes easy as 1.2.3.
So my questions are..
1. Can I flash a recovery image tar of CWM to the infuse using Odin?
2. If so where can I download the tar file. I already have Odin 1.85 installed on my PC so I don't need that unless the tar comes in a one click.
3. If I can't how can I root and install CWM without flashing a custom kernel?
Please don't give links to nothing heimdel. The last time I used heimdel was with my captivate and I spent 3 days unbricking it.
4. Will the Motorola exploit added in super one click work with Samsung or harm the phone in anyway?
Thanks ahead of time for the help...

Check with jscott. He may know for certain.
Flashing kernel does not alter data.
I made several root via heimdall versions.
Instead of heimdall, basically, if you can Odin an insecure kernel, boot into cwm recovery, you can flash my cwm root package.
It also remove all bloats. Check my uclb3 root thread especially post #2
And as far as I know, on the infuse uclb3, you can't root without an insecure kernel flash in download mode.
Well it may cost a phone of I may soft brick it a few times but I'm gonna put my programming skills to the test and see if I cant come up with a one click root to 1. Make life easier for everyone and 2. To make it simple for the noobs to figure out. I'll let you know if my java VB and other languages I know can come up with something. It may take me a while and a lot of lost sleep hair pulling cursing and crying but I'm gonna give it my best effort.. wish me luck cause I'm gonna need it...

For now, the normal exploits used for a one click root option don't work on the stock UCLB3 Gingerbread kernel. As qkster has mentioned, you need an insecure kernel to root UCLB3. Also, there isn't an easy way yet to change the stock recovery to CWM without using a custom kernel zImage that includes it. Check out this HOW-TO that I wrote up for an explanation of what it takes to root UCLB3 Gingerbread. This explains how to temporarily use a custom kernel to achieve root, and also explains how to go back to the stock kernel. None of this removes existing data on the phone.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603220
If you don't want to do all of the work required to root UCLB3 on your phone, then you can use qkster's Heimdall one-click packages or my Odin packages that he showed you earlier.
you can root the infuse with super one click... easiest way to just root it, and also might i add, the infuse is very difficult to hard brick, soft bricks are easy to fix, with odin or hiemdall but i haven't yet heard or seen a case where the infuse is actually hard bricked, now installing cwm is easy as well, just youtube it, very simple and that there should get you on your way to flashing

Assuming that you are talking about going back to stock Froyo to root with SuperOneClick? As of yet, you can't reliably use SuperOneClick on the latest Gingerbread release. Sounds like the OP wants to directly root UCLB3 Gingerbread.

Now, you're talking.
Good luck.
You will need to look at some kernel work.
You may also need to look at the pit files in the unbrick package.
If you can, also look at boot sequences of the galaxy device. Adam Outler did some neat stuff with the galaxy devices.

UCLE2 - Can't get root access

I'm just starting to learn how to do all this...
I have CWM 5.8.4.0 installed, UCLD2 and Superuser 3.0.7
I've lost root access and can't figure out how to get it back. I've been searching the forum but can't quite seem to find what I need. I went through the process for rooting and no good result. I thought maybe I should just do a recovery back to 2.3.6 in CWM and it says the MD5 mismatch. I thought I had a solid backup for my original phone all this time. I restored it once through ROM manager and it worked great. I did a factory reset and went through the rooting process again and still nothing.
What my goal is, is to flash to a ROM that people are liking and that performs well. Was going to try SKYICS 4.2E, but I don't think I should attempt anything until I figure out how to go to a backup consistently. I could back up what I have now, which gives me a working phone, but I don't really like it. Most of my apps don't work correctly on it. What I really don't want to do is go forward again and really have it jacked up and not be able to go to a previous backup.
Where should I start? I'm guessing getting root access again. I'm assuming I won't be able to flash another ROM until I get this.
Thanks for the help!
I was having that problem too, I used this script "su_ics_v3.1_updated_wraithdu_installer" also install and run busybox if you haven't already or just flash an insecure kernel (make sure its right for your rom)

Okay funny guy... What was my first line again??? lol
I don't even know how to get back to stock. I can do that even if I don't have root access? I'm just trying to learn the mechanics of all this. Learn what does what... CWM is a means to write to the phone from boot. Can install different ROMs and parts of ROMS, ie. lock screens... Then there's kernels that operate the hardware that have to be compatible with the ROM. People talk about way more than I can comprehend at this point; it's one step at a time for learning.
So---first step is what? Read for hours? I don't understand what I'm reading. haha

I'm not a programmer, but have taken some Java classes.
I don't know how to use scripts at all. In my mind, I can't do anything until I get root access. I'm not sure what the MD5 mismatch means either. I'm definitely reading things, but it seems that either I'm not understanding or that it's a tangent and not really related to what I'm trying to do...
You don't need root access. All you need is cwm to flash roms, kernels and radios

read the n00b posts and stickies, its really not that hard, all roms r rooted..meaning u dont have to root, u can do root ur self for stock firmware, the hard part(not really hard) is flashing cwm(clockworkmod recovery) via odin, once u do that flash a rom according to the rom u want to use, read this on howto root and flash cwm using odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
to go back to stock is very easy also via odin, read this link on howto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
once u find a rom read all about that rom on how to flash it and any trouble shooting
clockworkmod recovery replaces the stock recovery so u can do wonderful things to our phones, it's this application that installs(flashes) the roms
Thanks for the info... I installed another ROM that I liked better, SKYICS without the root. I wanted to tweek something else and I cannot do it unless I get root access. Using Odin is pretty easy like you said and CW recovery. The first link you posted is the one I originally followed and it was rooted. I went through the process again and no root. Titanium just says sorry I don't have permission. I did a factory reset and tried to root again and nothing. I'm not sure where to go from here to get the root back....
If you flash a custom ROM they are already rooted

thats why i said when u use a rom "once u find a rom read all about that rom on how to flash it and any trouble shooting", its usually a bad flash, if reflashing doesnt work then redownload the rom and again and flash

Can you be more specific on rooting 4.0.4? I didn't like SKY ICS and installed Embryo. It's much faster than the other, but now I don't have root again.

That's exactly what I did and it's not working. I'm using CWM touch and tried 2 different superuser files I've found and nothing. BusyBox won't install because it says it doesn't have permission and I can't mount the drive in the phone with a file explorer because it's not rooted.
I read somewhere that I may need to install an "insecure kernel", or maybe a ROM that is already rooted? I can't figure those things out....
I've even started all over and flashed the UCLE2 again, cleared all data. then installed Embryo, CWM then superuser. No luck. I'm at a loss here.
Update: I have tried these superuser files.
Superuser, Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed. The last one gave me root access for 4.0.4. I'll attach the file for others.

That's exactly what I did and it's not working. I'm using CWM touch and tried 2 different superuser files I've found and nothing. BusyBox won't install because it says it doesn't have permission and I can't mount the drive in the phone with a file explorer because it's not rooted.
I read somewhere that I may need to install an "insecure kernel", or maybe a ROM that is already rooted? I can't figure those things out....
I've even started all over and flashed the UCLE2 again, cleared all data. then installed Embryo, CWM then superuser. No luck. I'm at a loss here.
Update: I have tried these superuser files.

This superuser zip gave root access where other versions did not for 4.0.4.

...which is why we're focused on the one method with its 3 or 4 steps we linked. [Confession] My bad, I forgot to mention as is often covered in the threads - CWM flashing the zip took me a few (4) retries. I only backed up as far as 'select update from sdcard' for each retry, all within the same recovery session. Maybe this will help?

It wasn't the steps ther were wrong. It was superuser that was wrong. I tried and tried with 2 different ones and nothing. Then I found another version that worked on the first attempt. The versions I tried first worked on 2.3.5, but not on 4.0.4.
I'm attaching the one I found that worked the first time. I tried the others about 20 times each and nothing, but they worked before. I haven't read anywhere that there are different versions of superuser that only root certain builds. I found it out the hard way.
If i can remember "SOME" superuser zips need to be flashed a few times before they flash successfully.

Thanks. I have read that, and that it works sometimes when it says it fails. The problem was that there are a few versions of superuser. I had two that worked on previous versions of android, like 2.3.6, but they won't work on 4.0.4. I found a different one named. "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed" that worked first time. I tried the others more than enough. They don't work on 4.0.4. It's funny no one has mentioned this before.
Let's be clear.
I am glad you reached this goal CodeRed. Enjoy!

Yes, but there was only one version in the [GUIDE]{ROOT}How To Root The ICS Leak.

I had the older zip too, but it was all properly instructed in our [Dev] thread. Copperhed posted 'This will root 2.3.5 or 2.3.6' for an earlier Superuser.zip last November, linked in InSaiyanone's excellent all-in-one guide.
Needing to root 4.0.4 would lead us to the next stickie, where projeqht linked
Starskyrob's 'Step 2: Flash Attached zip from recovery.' in his [GUIDE]{ROOT}How To Root The ICS Leak, posted March 28th, referring to the zip you and I succeeded with. I think anyone reading the stickies should find the same guidance.

Wifi error after update

Hello.
I recently bougth a SGS4G, it came with the original 2.2.1, and every thing worked fine.
I started to read about de updating the rom and got interested, after reading, I made de update using the one-click metode. I used the Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar, it all went just fine, the phone run smoth, but when I tried to turn on the wifi connection every single time it gives the error message.
Does any one have any ideia on how to solve this problem?
Try it again, you may have had a bad download.
What error message are you seeing?

No its not a bad download. He used my oneclick and wifi is broken because blastoff uses the bcm4329 module.
HrCorreia use the kernel in this thread. Just flash it in cwm. Your wifi should be fixed after that. If not post back and Ill see what I can do to help.

When I try to turn on the wifi connection, it always shows the message saying "error" on the connection status.

I'll have a fix for the oneclick tonight.
Thanks bhundven Ive been busy all weekend and when I have gotten home fixing that one click has been the least of my thoughts. I know bad eollie no cookie.

Its all gravy man, I just happened to notice the name of the one click he used. Its was the one click I created to get root plus stock for coming back to stock. Ive known about the broken wifi I think I even spoke about it in the OP.
Thanks to all who tried to help me, and in fact realy helped me.:laugh::good:
I hope this topic manage to help others.

Eollie - did you ever update the OneClick?
Just curious because just tonight I flashed your OC... or the top one in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Downloaded it fresh today. "Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar (this has the blastoff v2.5 kernel)"
Anyway, the wifi wasn't working. I flashed AntonX's BwaT kernel to get it back.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Related: I would've loved to flash straight to Valhalla Black but even though I found a post where VB built an experimental One Click for that, I couldn't actually find a JAR anywhere. Am I missing something here too? Apparently FB isn't accepting PMs....
I'm not sure why you're looking for one-click installers for everything. The typical way to install is using a zip in recovery. You should be able to find a good selection of ROMs and kernels that you can flash from the recovery that it sounds like you already have installed.
The one-click installers are generally when you have things so hozed up you need to get back to a relatively clean, know state. They generally aren't for getting a fully functional phone. Your WiFi problem is likely the driver that matches your kernel not being installed.
FB is around from time to time.
In general, I wouldn't hold your breath on anyone updating software from a couple years ago. Older projects eventually get archived or deleted as each ROM build you are working on can take 50 GB or more.

Phone was super hosed. Would not restore a Nandroid backup.
A VB one-click would have been fastest.
Would gladly try a newer ROM but my wife and I use wifi-calling every day - until and unless somebody with a newer ROM figures that out, we're on GB.

Gingerbread is cool, especially if you need the proprietary WiFi calling feature. Several of us have poked at those bits and they aren't very happy with anything but the ROM they were built for.
You'll typically have problems if you flash a kernel through download mode "over" an existing ROM. Download mode is partition-at-a-time so it can't, for example, update kernel modules on that are on the same partition as the rest of the ROM.
Lots to pick from once you have custom recovery going.

Back to the original question though - did Eollie or anyone update the kernel in the Rooted/stock one-click so that Wifi works? Maybe it was just a fluke that it didn't work for me?
(I'm asking for the next guy...)

And done. The second post has been updated with the new oneclick.
This fixes wifi and removes the csc update. Enjoy!
(note, after rebooting it does go to recovery, so you can flash after oneclicking)

I see. Maybe he just made it boot to recovery instead so you still have to reflash the kernel.
