It's very simple, man. Use odin to flash CWM. Place Superuser zip on SD card. Boot into cwm and flash SU until it takes. Done, rooted.

Hey I've used the DoomLord script to root my phone, i personally found it extremely easy and doesnt involve having to use odin. (I'm a noob and i find odin scary lol after what i've read on these fourms of what happened to them with odin)

Those of you having problems rooting GB through Heimdall. Just google powerarchiver it will turn the GB zimage into a flashable that you can use in Odin.
I just done it and it WORKS!!! used root checker after reboot to verify I have root.Just thought I would share the info.
BIG thanx 2: dsexton702 for getting us rooted
Use dsexton702 zImage-root.tar first this will put you in the bootloop. Powerdown and go back in download mode. Then flash Zimage.tar file next using Odin and you should be all set

Can't get ADB permissions working
After I performed the flash with Odin, it appears I am rooted with SuperUser installed, however, when I try to do an adb shell and then su command, i get "Permission Denied". Has anyone seen this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?
Awesome information. Thanks a lot! Saved a lot of time ha.
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.

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.
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.
I've tried rooting it with the instruction on this site, but it would not work. So, I googled how to root this phone and I came up with the odin method. Well, this isn't working either. The instructions say to unlock the bootloader first, but all the google results say not to until you root it first. I'm not sure what to do. If anyone can help me that would be awesome. Thanks

Hi all, my son has been given a G-Tab 2.7 P 3110 (UK) (OTA'd to JB) which he wants me to root. (He's seen my rooted galaxy W phone and thinks it's "cool" )
I've searched this forum and found several references to rooting, but the instructions all involve Odin. I had a bad time with Odin when I rooted my phone, and I REALLY don't want to go there again.....
In the end, I asked for help here on XDA and was pointed in the direction of a rooting method that involved nothing more difficult than flashing a downloaded zip from the STOCK recovery......
Does such a method exist for the P 3110? If it does, can somebody please link me to the thread.....many thanks

Yea but you only use odin to flash RECOVERY. Root access is gained by flashing a .zip IN recovery. Its a .zip file. No odin needed to get root access. Now if you dont have a custom recovery then you just might have to use odin to get a custom recovery image on the phone.
There just isnt really a way around it. You might be able to use an app on the play store called mobile odin to flash the recovery to your device. It works quite well. Try that out if you dont want to flash with odin on a computer.
Hope that helps!
Ahh OK fella...thanks for clearing that up.....doesn't sound too complex....I'll give it a go.....

I had read on the infuse 4G board that someone had downloaded and rooted their phone with free software from www,unlockroot.com . I downloaded the software, and can confirm that I rooted my daugthers Infuse 4G with the downloaded PC software.
Have not tried it on the tab 2 as of yet - because the CF Root process is so simple, yes - with Odin - but oh, so simple
just offering a different option to look into - if you do not want to use Odin
Good luck
