[I9003] XXKPH + XXKPE Gingerbread Rooted [GUIDE]

Good News Guys
At last I have Rooted The [I9003] XXKPE Gingerbread Firmware
Updated Guide :
XXKPH
1.) After Flashing to new Firmware , Go to Downloading Mode By pressing volume down + menu button + power button and Flash the Phone Using the PDA file of the [I9003][CWM] ClockworkMod Recovery porting for I9003
(GT-I9003_PDA-XXKPE-fixed.tar)
GT-I9003_PDA-XXKPE-fixed.tar
2.) Root USing SOC
3.) flash PDA with the normalboot.img.tar attached below

Enjoy !!!
XXKPE
Guide For Rooting
Note:Before rooting, make sure your Samsung I9003 Driver is already installed if not you will stuck up at "Waiting for device"
1.) After Flashing (2 times [unknown CSC problem]) To the New ROM (XXKPE) Go to Downloading Mode By pressing volume down + menu button + power button and Flash the Phone Using the PDA file of the [I9003][CWM] ClockworkMod Recovery porting for I9003
(GT-I9003_PDA-XXKPE-fixed.tar)
GT-I9003_PDA-XXKPE-fixed.tar
2.) Now You Can Root The Phone Using Any SuperOneClick (kernel panic occurs like in KP9 & kp7 - no problem)
(I Used SuperOneClickv2.0b1-ShortFuse)
NOTE: After rooting, you wont have busybox, so if you require commands like cp, download busybox installer from market and install busybox.

Great work. Will try tomorrow.. Lets wait for feedbacks about this..

You didn't attack this file. Is the one included in the original PDA file of the firmware?

Thats up to You dude
Because If your camera and your CSC (*#1234#) is working fine then you dont have to flash twice
(I have to flash twice for my CSC to be valid. first t was showing unknown)
This method is just for rooting (this doesnt depend on how many times you flash)

1. first flash with only pit file re-partition checked
2. then press reset button and select four files pda,modem,csc,bootloader and flash it.
3. again enter into download mode
4. again flash with 4 files re-partition unchecked.
5. then flash with ddkp2 re-partition unchecked.

I facing this problem before. Try go xxkpe then go xxkpq. There are some stock rom already being released under i9003 android development tread. Go ahead flash with the right file to avoid any circumtances. Your problematic is our priolity. Thanks me if u like it. Cheers

[Q] How to revert back to stock DDLF2 from rooted state?

Hi,
I have rooted DDLF2 (using CF-ROOT). Now that I no more need root (stopped using an app that needed root), I need to get back to stock DDLF2.
I have already unrooted it using recovery mode > unroot.zip method.
All I need is 100% samsung stock DDLF2 on the phone now, without the cf-kernel, cf-recovery and apps that the rooting process brought in.
Please advise...
Thanks

Dude thats simple...
Just flash ddlf2 using odin and u are good to go !!

take the CR-ROOT zp file, open up with winrar, replace the file with DDLF2 normalboot.img, than flash with odin PDA. you will get back the stock kernel or maybe you will have boot looping, if not bootlooping, reboot the phone once, than factory reset.
try at your own risk.

Maybe this happened because you didn't clean install so here are the steps:
Download XXKPE from here.
Flash XXKPE by following the XXKPE install instructions (the archive should contain odin3 v1.83 or v1.85 if not here is odin3 v1.85)
Download DDLF2 from here (DDMF1 is the latest value pack so it's smoother and with better battery life)
Install DDFL2 or DDMF1( recommended) by following the value pack instructions (use only odin3 v3.04)
that's it, enjoy your stock rom

without pit or with pit?:silly:

I'm not sure bro but what you mentioned is the right way to go back to GB. But im not sure what did Dhiru told you about modem. What im doing is i have my backup custom rom of GB. So if i want to go back to GB i just restore it from CWM.

dude, a very simple instruction from Dhiru, do not flash modem with odin, it will corrupt your partition of CM alpha 4 which is using MTP system.
Alfix, have explain that use adb push to push the modem.bin of your choose to the /radio partition if you face radio issue or use a CWM flash zip to flash in recovery mode.
so, due to the new mtp partition system introduce by Dhriu CM10 alpha 4, the odin will not be use to flash anything. including the custom kernel.
how to go back to stock? you need to use odin with pit file, Lalotion case is a accident.
1. makesure your odin can detect your phone....
2. flash pit file first or together with XXKPE tar with or without bootloader. DON'T tell me it wont work, me and most of the member have done that, IT WORK!!
3. after flash KPE, your phone will reboot as normal.

Your method is quite confuaing me. For doing restore kernel.should be same which was used at the time of backup. GB kernel is entirely different from cm10 kernel. Then how u restore it??

And then full wipe

dont worry mate... since you are on 2.3.6 just go ahead and do it JXKP3
download the CF-Root file from here for JXKP3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253
also download Odin
and follow these steps
1.Open ODIN
2.get you phone in download mode (holding power + home + volume down).
3.Connect your phone to PC via USB cable.(its better to make sure your antivirus and firewall are disabled and you have correct samsung USB drivers installed)
4.Check if your phone is detected by odin you must see color yellow in the box with the port no. and a word "Added!" in log screen.
5.Now click PDA then browse the .tar file (place the downloaded CF-root file i.e, your JXKP3 file in this case).Then click Start.
6.Wait till its done,dont panic.Phone will boot itself. Your now rooted. But you need to wipe cache in recovery mode to do this hold power + home + volume up then clear cache and dalvik cache. Reboot. Done.

Its safe mate. If you back from A4, you need to flash XXKPE+Pit then flash DDLF2. In another word, its safe, as long you follow the guide and be careful.

Go ahead, its safe. You are using Gingerbread right? I forgot, :silly:. If you are using A4, bright idea to download pit.
And after reading the 1st post, yes its safe mate, just remember follow the guide and remember the thanks button under my post, cheers
P.S: Do not fear of soft/hard brick, if you are Gingerbread user. The farthest you can get is bootloop, unless you are flashing i9000 stock ROM.
