I will probably get flamed, but I have looked and can't find a direct answer. I just got my t959v as a replacement for my Vib. Can I root this without a PC? I'm on stock 2.3.6.
Thanks in advance.
Just to clarify, when you say "without a PC" do you mean no computer at all or that you're using a Mac/Linux computer?
If you have no access to a computer with which to use SuperOneClick or to load up a modified kernel, then I don't think it can be done as standard recovery doesn't give you the ability to flash like you can in CWM.
I have a theory but it is only a theory. I will verify at a later date or you can jump in if you want (might soft brick, recovering requires a computer).
Theoretically you should be able to use kernel flasher to flash a custom kernel with cwm. Then flash a ROM with root.
Again I have not verified this works but I will try soon (insert vague time stamp here)
Be respectful
Always click thanks

I haven't tried one of those & didn't even think about that. Good mention for sure. I'm game with testing that theory with you at some point if you want.
Was hoping it would be as easy as the 959. Copy an update.zip to my sd, reinstall packages and bam, guess not. Will try the kernel flasher method. Thanks guys!

No worries. You could try the method you described; I've not done that. I'm wanting to say the one time I tried to flash something that way using standard recovery that I got signature verification errors.
Good luck; let us know if you need any assistance.
No go, on kernel flasher. No root access. Can I install cwm without root from my phone?

I don't know of a way without one of the custom kernels. All of the ones I am aware of come with CWM/root/voodoo lagfix.
I will admit I've never looked into adding CWM without root access or if it can be done, though.

You have to be rooted to use a kernel flasher which sorta defeats the purpose lol

Awesome. Too bad we still need to use a computer to work with our phones but eh, if you have such an expensive phone I'm sure there's a computer nearby nowadays. .
Glad you got it working, but I'd recommend flashing one of bhundven's kernels since they are newer. Subscribe to his kernel thread for updates.

So after a bit of work I was able to decrypt the encrypted file from the fus.samsungmobile.com site. The result? The stock zip able to be flashed to your device to put it on UVKD1.
Mostly I did this because of people who may have problems with Kies Mini to update to UVKD1 (like I did, took forever to get drivers etc and kies to behave).
Again this is completely stock! Nothing done to it. I did use Kies Mini to apply this update automatically, but again it's the unencrypted zip that gets flashed to your phone.
As always, I'm not responsible for bricking your device etc. etc.
I imagine this can be used via ODIN to update your device, but again I haven't gone through this process.
As I have not tested this method personally, I cannot guarantee anything. Just wanted to provide the STOCK Zip without the encryption on it.
Anyone more knowledgeable about this please feel free to interject.

only thing I noticed was that the pattern lockscreen now has the emergency button at the bottom centered below the pattern. It's fairly smooth, seems like mostly bug fixes based on the release notes.
I'd really be curious to find out what the OTA url is for this, but not sure anyone here is going to get the OTA, cause we're probably all rooted or that and KC1 won't.
However, if anyone does wanna logcat and then get the OTA eventually that would be cool.

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!

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.

thank you for your condescending advise. i hope one of the xda mods makes you xda police. and i hope the baby your wife is expecting is born healthy and energetic.
to reiterate i cannot flash anything thru nvflash(clockwork nor stock froyo) and i cannot root with superoneclick. i updated by using a KDZ_FW_UPD.exe app that was linked in these very forums. this app apparently is translated from korean. i was not able to flash the new .kdz version by normal means--i had to go into the submenu "read phone information" and click "upgrade start" there...that installed gingerbread and unrooted me.
rather than evoke more eager and stoic xda members' attempt to distinguish themselves as intelligent comprehending human beings i simply instead wish for my thread to by deleted lest this be another blight on our holy xda forums g2x section where from nothing but the best forums posts stems from. because we could probably use another "what do you think guys? should i trade back my sensation for the g2x i once owned already now that gingerbread::drooool:: is finally out because i didnt know there already were gingerbread roms out there and instead i just had to tell the whole world "goodbye lg, never again, cry river?""
i am still on my first g2x and have never called tmobile complaining about screen bleed or anything else that seems to be only perpetuated by retarded threads in this g2x general forum that i sift thru on a DAILY basis while trying to find useful information and possible help out someone with advise from my own experience in similar situations

uninstall all lg drivers. reboot. reinstall drivers http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/drivers/LG_T-Mobile_Android_USB_Driver_v2.2.zip
@Daffydukc, I had the same issue. The good news is that since you already updated using the LG tool, you have the newer baseband. Right now, the "hard part" is getting CMW through NV flash back, which will let you flash whatever rom you want. I suggest the pre-rooted version of the same gingerbread update from xboarder56 over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
For now, try what crazythunder suggested and uninstall the LG drivers that the LG update tool might have deposited on your system and reinstall the drivers that worked prior to your update. Take out the battery, hold down vol up AND vol down, plug in the usb cable and see if your computer see's your phone. If it doesn't work, try again (it didn't work for me the 1st time either)
I'm now rooted with new baseband and liking it so far, goodluck.
THANK YOU!
great advise with the uninstall and then re install lg drivers i had not considered lg update tools overwriting the drivers that allow flashing CWM with drivers that arent really conducive to flashing CWM. i did that, and i read somewhere a suggestion to press the power button as well as the volume buttons.
i cant tell which of these two things was what did it for me but i'm so grateful for the help. i was sure to hit the thanks button for you guys!!

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.

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.

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've downloaded the file twice, but I keep getting MD5 hash value invalid on the Odin step for the Nameless recovery. That's as far as I could get in the steps. I tried downloading it from multiple places but no dice.

I need the Nameless recovery file for Odin from the step after flashing the GC rom in Odin.

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.

Yes that's the one. If you have the correct file that would be great.

I have searched and tried all methods to no avail. I updated the phone to the latest firmware, running 2.3.5 now. Is it possible to root the phone now? I've tried the the methods listed in the forums and none worked.
Flash one of Dr Honk's kernels?

I'd rather keep stock kernel, just root the phone...

Did you get the 2.3.5 update via Kies?

Technically I think you should be able to do it by rooting with the custom kernel. Let it boot up all the way make sure you have superuser, make sure it works, then flash the stock kernel afterward. Your root ability should stick.

Ok, I got a little excited there for a sec. Thought maybe Samsung had finally given us an official update. That link is for KI3, I believe the latest from sampro is KJ3.
I did notice that when you go to http://sampro.pl/firmware/android/samsung-sgh-t959v/ it doesn't list the latest leaks, just asks for you to sign in. Figured they may have pulled them in lieu of an official release.
Back to waiting....

How do I get the phone in Download mode now? Ever since I updated firmware I can only get it into recovery by holding V UP/V DOWN/POWER and inserting the battery. I tried all different methods to set it into download mode and nothing works!
open Odin on cpu....pull bat....connect USB to CPU...hold down up/down vol.......insert bat while holding up/down vol.....should put you into download and your phone will appear in Odin.

It is now, he moved it. Before it wasn't.
There is no current method to root a stock GB kernel for this phone unfortunately, so the only option is to Odin a custom stock kernel, or flash it, then reflash the stock kernel and hope root sticks. You can try the voodoo OTA root keeper, and try that, but its not guaranteed.

If that's not working you can download the Android SDK from android.com, install it, cd to the 'platform-tools' directory, insure your phone is plugged into the computer & is on, then issue the 'adb reboot download' command.
try Dr honk GB kernel

For those who might have same issue, this worked when I switched from generic micro-USB cable to the original Samsung micro-USB cable... Don't know y, generic cable charged the phone just fine but wouldn't work to put the phone into Download mode...
