Most safest/recommended way to root? - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Hi,
I have the Galaxy SL i9003 phone and have decided to root it.
I'm quite a novice when it comes to these things so please bear with me.
Could anyone advise me on the safest and most recommended way to root my phone?
I've heard horror stories of phones being "bricked" after rooting :crying:
I would like to use a program that will let me "un-root" a phone also if need be.
Thanks.

If you probably could find the one-click root method for your device, it'd be best. Or if you're running below gingerbread version then install the Z4-root app for rooting/unrooting your device.

I haven't messed with the phone at all.
It's got the same software/hardware when bought.
I hope this helps.

Gives us your details go to settings about phone and give everything then i'll guide you on how to root it and the miracles of rooting. Dont be scared of that rumors. Rooting will not really brick the phone if done correctly.

SOC is only for froyo . For gingerbread u have to flash pda file through odin . For more details visit ganesh's thread for rooting for your phone ROM.

Ok here it is.
Model number: GT-I9003
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9003XXKB1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.XWKB4

Based on my firmware how would you recommend me to root?

So you are in froyo, would you mind upgrading to gingerbread first before rooting?

If you mind upgrading your firmware (well i suggest you really upgrade because froyo is too old for me) nevertheless, follow this thread ive found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987169.

You're are still on Froyo? If you've got time, upgrade your device to GB DDLF2 2.3.6 and just flash Bam Kernel v14 fix. You'll find the Stock Firmware and Bam Kernel on the Developing Section. The kernel will root your phone.

Maybe you dont have the drivers installed. Install Kies first.
---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------
@skatylup after downloading (Be sure you have kies already) then follow the guide here pal, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787 just follow carefully. The latona.pit is in XXKPE folder. Its an easy step by step process. Once in XXKPQ, Root it with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056 download bagaria.tar then flash in odin via PDA. (should be in download mode again.)
After doing above instructions, Go to Recovery mode w/c is volume up + home +power. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then your good to go. Your now rooted and can try different custom roms.

i recommend you use ODIN.. from the very first day i was a total noob in android, i've always used odin..
relatively, you can search your firmware here and MATCH it to whatever CF Root available
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253
also, you can use amit.bagaria's Root.
i attached.
if you use amit.bagaria's root (it's universal, meaning you can flash this root to ANY gb firmware)
all you need is Odin and your usb cable and COMMON SENSE
1. go to settings>applications>usb debugging
2. go to download mode: turn off phone>volume down+home button+power off button (hold them all at the same time until it goes to download mode)
3. connect phone with usb to pc
4. open odin
5. see if odin recognizes your phone (at the upper left, there's a yellow box)
6. click PDA and choose the file amit.bagaria (the one i attached)
7. click start
8. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL THE ROOTING FINISHES
9. wait for the phone to restart
10. congrats, you just successfully rooted your phone
if anything goes wrong, you did something stupid. lol, im just a buddy trying to help you out

I suggest you first flash your phone using Odin to XXKPE firmware. Then flash to XXKPQ/KPU (more stable). Download the root file for the installed firmware. You should be ok

No, thats not true. The only ones with bugs are the older roms. XXKPE is old but it's very stable with no bugs. Where did you hear that "XX series" roms are experimental? The "XX" or "DD" letters only indicate the region of the release. In this case "XX" roms are for europe while "DD" roms are for around India and some parts of Asia. However, you can still use roms like XXKPQ and XXKPU world-wide.
For your Rooting problem
Have you tried SuperOneClick? If not, just download the latest version and install. Then make sure debugging mode is ticked on your phone, open superoneclick and connect your phone. Just click Root and wait for phone to restart.
If you've already tried SuperOneClick, Then your best option is to install XXKPE with .pit file. Just follow the steps on this site and upgrade to DDKP3 or XXKPU, then try rooting your phone.

Hi
Not sure if you're issue is fixed so I'll give my 2 cents.
Try cleaning the information of your USB devices using Drive Cleanup [use google ] assuming you have a Windows PC.
Then install latest Kies for latest USB drivers or if your PC is set to get drivers directly from the internet then updated drivers will be installed automatically once you attach your phone.
Hope this helps

Not bricked but not working.

OK all...so I am new here and was trying to get JB to work on my tablet. I thought I had done the needed research but went wrong somewhere I guess. I tried to follow steps on a site I found from AndroidAuthority dot com (not sure if I am able to post the entire link or no?). I was trying to root and install ClockworkMod Recovery but I guess either something went wrong or I messed something up. From what I have been reading I guess I have not bricked my device since it still tries to load. It currently loops with the Samsung screen. I can still enter the download mode and recovery mode but not sure what I should try next. I tried via Odin again with no luck. Out of the box I was running 4.0.3 but did the OTA update to 4.0.4. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks from a newbie!
Also I used espresso_recovery.tar.md5 as the recovery image if that helps at all. Thanks again.

install samsung drivers and kies and odin. run odin as adminstrator.
pay close attention to the mention of the post #325 in the instruction as it what helps you 4.0.4 root process. its difference from 4.0.3.
also if you are on jb. you need to run cwm 6.0 not 5.0 make sure youre uploading the right file into odin.

Don't use ClockWorkmod, it's not designed specifically for Gtab2... CWM is bad.
you can try flash your gtab2 with ODIN instead
CWM is OFFICIALLY supported now and works good.

So I'm new here, I tried rooting my p3100, flashed cwm with Odin, as it rebooted from there it just keeps rebooting - need help please guys......any lil bit of advice would help - I've read on other posts to flash to the stock ROM, but how do i do this? where do i get the rom......
OK so I am back at it and still not having much luck. I can't get as far as the:
"CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.0"
Screen.
From here I do not have a recovery file to use. Which should I use for the P3113....At this point I don't even care if I lose all the data on the tablet and go back to stock. Just need it working again and then do some more research on how to do it right..
Thanks again.
Then use Section E of my guide. It will wipe your data and restore your tablet to stock.

Search the post you will find many post on this
Go to this site http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-bean-firmware-on-galaxy-note-10-1-gt-n8000/
Remember only follow the steps in the video where he flashes ICS.
What you will need to flash JB
Odin - download it from general section there is post in firmwares right at the top
Firmware - again you can download it from the same post
Should have all the drivers installed (Install Kies it should install all drivers, exit kies before you start to flash)
Once you download the file extract the file
Press power+ volume down button till you boot into download mode, once you do press the volume up button
Connect your table to you laptop using the usb cable (Charger cable)
run odin from the directory where you have downloaded it
click on PDA load the file you have just unzip it should be with the exten tar.md5
Dont change any other setting make sure everything except auto reboot is unchecked
Click on Start an wait till it gives you the complete message it will reboot automatically once it has done
If you get any errors let me know

try this
Hi
Thanks . I had seen this YouTube video, the links to superoneclick no longer work.
In fact the two links direct form the shortfuse website no longer link to the file.
Well im not sure then. Im pretty sure z4root messes up something, and it may be you need to flash a custom rom in odin. Sorry but I cant try anything myself because I dont have the phone anymore (at least for a while).

Rather than rooting it is best to install a prerooted custom ROM via odin.

Hi
I looked for Odin on the market and it seem that Odin required root , so wouldn't I need root to use it ?
If not can you suggest a suitable custom rom ?
Thanks

Odin does not require root. You have to get into download mode with a combination of keys. (May be Mobile Odin requires root, I never used it).
Check this thread for Custom roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591. I would suggest PuruKisadHybrid custom ROM.
Refer to this thread for how to use odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414
You need to install samsung drivers first.
Hi
Thanks for the information and links.
I was hoping to be able to root without wiping data but I will consider this method.
The odin tutorial was a bit hard to understand but I'll try watching carefully and it may become clear.

you can root without wiping data. Just search for rooting procedure in the forum. But custom ROM gives lot more features for you than stock one.
PS: Please hit thanks if anybody helps you.
Use this and try again

Hi
Thanks for your response .
I've tried two versions of Superoneclick v1.7.00 and 2.3.3.0 and neither work for me.
I've just tried another tool x8toolbox , this gives an error ".... root not applicable to custom rom ..."
If you have a link to another version of Superoneclick I'll try that ?
Thanks .

Hi i had this version of superoneclick 1.7.00 but it worked fine. Make sure u have turned on usb debugging and installed the drivers.Also in case of exploit use rageagainstthecage exploit and not psneuter.
And for drivers consider installing these http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
I haven't been able to find a non- data wipe method as varioius versions of superoneclick and other tools aren't working for me on this phone.
Perhaps I'll go down the custom rom route ,
If I can find some good clear instructions .
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately this one isn't working ether
Generating an excetion which ever exploit option is selected.
I wonder if it is an issue with the phone rather than the tool .
It has allready been hard reset to factory state ?

Has the driver been installed? Which OS you are using?
You need to install proper driver before trying to root. For your info, essentially all rooting methods are non-data wipe.
for instructions check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12451340

WHAT? This device has no separate recovery partition, neither CF-ROOT Kernel. This is not Galaxy S or S3
z4Root should work on 2.1, for 2.2 the easiest way is to use custom kernel, with it you get custom recovery and via that recovery you can flash some zip with su binary and then get Superuser/SuperSU app. SuperOneClick is buggy with G3.
I've used a ch root so....

Sign onto pc as admin. You will need to delete LG stuff on your pc before starting. Turn off antivirus temporarily to extract some files; Defender in particular may delete certain driver files and not tell you.
thanks.
But after I did something stupid :/
I flashed another ROM and now i have i get a security error and i can't even use flash tool :/
HELP PLEASE.
it's my sisters phone. she would kill me haha
Just reflash firmware by LG Flash Tool. It will rewrite everything. What do you mean you can't use it?
---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------
Some ROMs require custom bootloader; normally the cause of security error.
---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------
You must be on ICS to flash that custom ROM; you can't just install it over GB. That is what the tutorial is for...to install ICS and then the ROM.
Multiple posts are due to xda app being goofy. Can't edit a post. Dunno what is up.
I connect it by pulling battery and holding volume up and it just keeps connecting and disconnecting. It did this when I used your guide but everything turned out OK following your thread you sent me earlier. But I decided to try a different ROM (I guess just because I could) and then I got security error. -_- when I try lgflashtool is just says ready and doesn't pick up my device. Tried restarting PC ect.

Phone wont even get detected in lgflashtool. tried volume up. pulling battery ect.
Install drivers first as in part 1.
Managed to boot into Fastboot using OS hacking tool. but all i get when trying flash recoveries or bootload is remote partition does not exist. and LGflashtool can't detect it. am in big trouble guys please.

AHA I think the main big problem is that the LGE mobile USB serial port is not detected/installed! Anyway to get this installed cause I can't boot up the phone?
If you had read and followed my guide you would already have it.
