[Removing CWM Recovery]
1) Delete file /system/bin/logwrapper
2) Delete file /system/bin/hijack
3) Rename file /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper
4) Delete directory /preinstall/recovery

Yes it will, but just removing bootstrap won't get rid of your problems.. you will most likely have to flash back to stock using RSD... What os version and region is your phone from?

Chances are you can and are just missing a step but to figure out where something got missed we're going to need some more information, what happens when you try to boot into recovery?
I made the root and every thing is good until I remove the battery and placed it again, when I enter the bootloder and choose recovery then it didn't enter on the recovery mode the same if you didn't put any thing
And again i shoud root the device one more time

Man,
Once you did root on your NS, you have to download in market "Rom Manager" and apply Clockworkmod "First option when you open it". Than you don't have to flash clockworkmod every time!!
Got it?

So here is what I think is going on: When you try to boot into recovery there a big exclamation point in the middle of you screen? Assuming that is correct here is what you need to do. You'll need to get Root Explorer from the market. Once you've got that on your phone open it up and find a folder called "etc". At the top of the window you'll see [mount r/w]. Click on that. Now scroll down until you find a file called "install-recovery.sh" which you'll need to rename to "old-install-recovery.sh" or you can just delete it (I chose to delete it, its just a personal preference). Once that is done go back to the market and download Rom Manager. Open it up and click on Flash clockwork recovery. It'll ask for superuser permissions and allow it.
Now you should be able to boot into CWM recovery!
If I assumed wrong, please explain what happens when you try to boot into recovery.
why you have to delete this archive??? I just applied with rom manager and every thing is running fine on my 2.3.3 stock + Root!!
liquelt said:

Because that file automatically checks if you have a custom recovery on every boot and replaces it with the stock recovery. Go into your etc folder and if its not there or renamed that would explain it.
Thanks for all

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16737945&postcount=146
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..

Thats up to You dude
Because If your camera and your CSC (*#1234#) is working fine then you dont have to flash twice

Yes it should, I used the Fastboot files listed on the noob guide, and this "How to flash the FXZ once applying the OTA update and get back to 2.3.5, ONCE YOU UPDATE TO THE OTS 2.3.6 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLASH THE 2.3.5 FXZ WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE STEPS BELOW!!
NOTE: Download this file HERE -
Unzip it and move all the the items in it to the stock fxz. You might get a warning about replacing files, just click OK. NOTE that Windows might not be able to handle the size of the fxz. I have 6 GB RAM but Windows still wasn't able to perform a drag-and-drop through the fxz's zip. I recommend that you just unzip the fxz and then put the files in. (You don't have to rezip it either, RSD Lite will still recognize it and will flash faster).
You should be able to use RSD Lite to flash the file.
THANKS TO COGEARY FOR THESE STEPS
" that's all there, so you should be able to flash over stock 2.3.6, boot into fastboot and run this

Instead of using RSD to flash stock, you can use this automatic script.
I've never had to flash a fxz either. So i'm not totally understanding it. Do we flash the zip from our sd card on our phones without a computer involved? Do we extract the zip first. I'm bewildered :banghead:
I don't have a windows box so none of that rsd stuff applies either. If this could work for me I'd be grateful to anybody for explaining it. Also, more willing to experiment haha.

It's a Windows batch file that uses fastboot commands to flash the contents of an fxz to your phone. Since you're on Linux then it wouldn't work for you, but it wouldn't be hard to make a shell script adaptation of it.
Ah ha! More clues haha. I understand what your saying. I need to get that process down so I can have more confidence in my own development.

this is a set of windows command prompt commands that flashes a new system image using fastboot. useless on Linux. you could try to adapt it to run in linux terminal.

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.

base band i9003ddle1
firmware 2.3.6
i want to reflash it using odin .
should i directly flash the zip file?
I know the title may sound odd, but let me explain. I rooted my phone a while back and have flashed plenty of ROM's. I think that there is something wrong and would basically like to take it back to the starting point....that point you get right after you have rooted it for the first time. What would be the best way? I ask because I do not want to return it to stock as in this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253)
Do I act as if I have never rooted it and run it through the ODIN process?
If so, what method as lately I have seen more than one.
Thanks all.
Whats the difference between the time after you first rooted your phone vs it being rooted now? Idk maybe use supersu built in options for restoring root?
There isn't any way to do it for now only computers can do that.
Odin flash a rooted VRBLK3 image from mrRobinson thread in the dev section. Use the /sdcard wipe tar. You'll then need to unlock the bootloader if you intend to flash kernels or roms again.

This is a great guide but is written for rooting a phone for the first time. What Slim was suggesting was to install a pre-rooted image onto your phone after cleaning it properly. If you want to do it this was since it is familiar to you, I would return to stock using the guide in the stickies and then using the guide that you referenced to root and unlock. Make sure that you back everything up including the IMEI. Good luck!
OK..so I go and do this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436&highlight=mrrobinson
Then go do the root in the link I posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2046439
You mentioned cleaning...what do you mean by that?
Sound right?

All you need is download the "full wipe" version from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234355 then:
First, use Titanium to backup all your apps.
1. Remove your micro sdcard (it will wipe your card if you don't remove)
2. Boot into download mode (volume down + home + power buttons)
3. Use Odin to flash that image and remember only select PDA.
Once you boot up you will have a like factory setp with root. Do your normal setup then use Titanium to restore all your apps. That's it.

AWESOME...Thanks. I have used 4.1 and 4.2 ROM's and I just think that something is not running right, so I want to basically start over and pick a ROM I like,
Figured it out...thanks

I have to ask...but how do I do the following per his instructions: Extract the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1.tar.md5 from the .7z file you downloaded.
I downloaded the .7z file, but how do I extract the .md5 file from it? I have tried WinRar and 7Zip...neither likes it for some reason.
Thanks

Can someone who has never rooted their phone use the MrRobinson method to root for the first time?

Yes! Although I see you created a thread and received an answer there as well.

After I hijacked this thread I decided maybe creating my own was probably a better way to go. And maybe it will be easier for someone to find the same answer in the future. But it never hurts to have multiple opinions so thanks for your reply! I feel much more confident now that I wont brick another phone.
