[Q] Newbie help Rooting Galaxy S I9000

Hi all
Firstly I apologise if this is in the wrong forum as im new to the site, I have searched the forums and followed all instructions supplied on how to root the Galaxy S 2.2 using the oneclick method. All goes well but after I apply the fix in recovery mode I keep getting an error E:signature verification failed Installation aborted.
Im just wondering if im doing anything wrong, as I said I have searched through the forums but I cannot find a solution to my problem.
I have just recently got the phone and its on Vodafone UK, all was fine at start until i started to install apps and now it just keeps freezing and lagging big time. below is the details of firmware etc.
Thanks in advance.
Samsung Galaxy S I9000
Vodafone UK
Firmware 2.2
Baseband Version I9000BUJP5
Kernal Version 2.6.32.9 root SE-S611 #1
Build Number FROYO.BUJP7

I only rooted mine the other day. everyone was telling me to do it through my pc but i just couldnt do it. so i entered z4root into google on my phone and went to the android version and found a download there and put it straight onto my phone. took 2 mins. hope this helps.
danny

I have downloaded that z4root but was told the oneclick was easier, does this z4root have all the files necessary to root the phone or do i need to download anything extra to root the phone.

For GingerBread you need to flash a custom kernel with Odin Cf-Root or Speedmod

Have you had any luck with this yet.? Ive been trying to find out more but every single time soneone asks they never get a answer coz its always the next question that does lol. Its all JVO this or JVP that or JVQ whatever however it aint helping us when we have numbers on the end.just if someone could explain the difference..im guessing its versions of the firmware kind of..Im sure JVO was Froyo but does our GB JV end with Q or P? so why not say JVQ5 or JVP5 instead be easier for us noobs to understand quicker without bothering others or be told off for it already been asked even though i cant find anything coherent lol

LG Optimus Chat ( C555 )

Android Version: 2.2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9

I think we might be out of luck

My gf has the same phone (also on Koodo) and so far I haven't succeeded in rooting it. Gingerbreak hangs, superoneclick hangs at step 6 like I've seen for many other people, and Z4Root didn't work either.
I've seen some pleople claim that gingerbreak worked on their C555 but it hasn't for me on my many attempts.
It succeeded on the first try for my Optimus One but that was running 2.2.1.

tried it with superoneclick and manually, both times it said it was successful but the busybox, su installation always fails and i can not mount the file system with read and write privileges

I never buy again an LG phone!

Finally could root the LG-C555 "LG optimus chat"
I finally could root the LG-C555 (LG optimus chat) from koodo (Canada).
I used the superoneclick v2.3.3 and tried frst the zergrush method ... which failed,
then (without rebooting) the psneuter method which failed too.
Finally tried the Auto method ... and success !!!
Now, I have to find a way to install cyanogenmod

firmware LGC555
Found this damn original firmware link to use with KDZ.
EDIT: Cannot post url as a new member, what you need to know is:
swdata/WEBSW/LGC555/AKDOAQ/V10d_00/V10D_00.kdz
I can finally start experimenting with the LGC555.
If anyone else has already done something, I strongly encourage them to share.

Hi there, where you able of installing another firmware into your LG-C555? If so, I surely would like to know how you did it!!
Here's some info you might be interested reading:
The LG Updater tool detects my phone properly and tells me that I'm running the latest (V10D) firmware for this LG-C555 phone. I need to reinstall this version V10D of the firmware or even a previous one but I'm unable because I can't choose ANY firmware, I can't "upgrade", it tells me that everything is OK with the phone but it is not and that's why I want to "upgrade/change" the firmware of this phone
Is there a way I could "break" the internal firmware hoping that the LG Updater would then allow me to install the latest one (V10D) on it?
For your information, my LG-C555 is network unlocked & rooted and currently runs Android 2.2.
Since I need to change the internal firmware I went ahead and tried Gingerbreak (version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) but none of them seems to work.
I was able of pushing gingerbreak.apk (version 0, 1 and 2) to the /data/app folder with the USB debugging mode ON and I also have inserted a formated/mounted SD card in the phone. Then I installed the .apk normally, the installation started but never ended, it stayed in an infinite loop (more than 1 hour)... I had to reboot for those 3 attemps
What can I do next if I only want to "change" the internal firmware of this phone?
Thank you for your time,
highmighty

SuperOneClick works for LG-C555
I Just ran SuperOneClick using the Auto option and it worked perfectly. Exact same specs as you (phone is from Koodo Canada as well)
Model: LG-C555
Android Version: 2.2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FRG83
Software Version: LG-C555-V10d

i didnt have any problems rooting the LG-C555 with superoneclick not a hitch

I know it's an old thread... anyhow I managed to root my Telus Optimus Chat with the SuperOneClick 2.3.3 but then I cannot find a way to backup my stock rom and find any custom rom that this compatible with this POS phone! Everything seem to be only for expensive phones.. please help?

Does anyone have the KDZ or link for this phone?

[Q] Rooting Samsung Ace S5830D

Greets
Have tried two methods to root this phone, superoneclick and up_d.zip from the tutorial and both fail.
The specs on the phone are as follows: Model No-S5830D with Gingerbread build number DTLKI4. What is interesting is the Kies tells me that this models firmeware cannot be upgraded with Kies. Phone is distributed in Canada by Koodo not sure if that makes a difference but the build no is different from anything Ive seen on line.
Suggestions, recommendations, reading sources most welcomed.
Best and kind regards

You could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282011.

Same error message as with all the other methods I tried so far:
____________________________
"Error in /tmp/sideload/packages.zip

Installation Aborted.
---------------------------

What ended up working was this link and file, AceGingerbreadroot.zip from android flip dot com
Best regards

You could paste the link please?

can you please add the file to root the ace S5820D

Rooting the S5830D from Koodo
I've rooted this phone yesterday.
1. Using stock recovery install root zipped file AceGingerRoot.zip (see below)
2. Use BML5 method to find unlock code and use it for unlocking on this stock rom, or use market
Unlock Galaxy Ace app, which is doing the same
3. Install CWM version 4 zipped file ClockWorkModAce.zip (see below)
4. Update to CWM version 5 recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip (see below)
Now you can install the ROM of your choice on your fully unlocked and rooted Ace.
Don't forget to nandroid all original and other ROMs so you can painlessly use the working configuration

Thank you so much for coming back with your solution pgavril. I had the exact same problem with the same phone from Koodoo and you solution worked flawlessly.
Again to help other people search for this problem find this thread, it was.

I have versions 1 & 3 of towelroot. The first version may work better. Do you have an international sim card or are you still attempting to use the vzw one?
From my Wicked S3 running MIUI

I was able to actually root it with Kingo Root
The only other issue is still getting the message SIM not recorgnized even though the phone, data and text are working on the local network. I have configured the APN to point to the carrier but the message still pops up when i reboot or if my phone is in idle mode

Safe To Root This Version Of Edge?

I am ready to root my device and check out all the custom ROMS/creations that the greats around here have created. BUT - I saw there was a list of incompatible devices, however it is a dead link and I can not see the bad devices when I click the link. Here are my device specs
Code:
model
samsung-sm-n915a
version
6.0.1
kernal
3.10.10-8932341
build
mmb29m.n915aucu2dph5
Am I safe to root? And if yes, can someone point me to a good download of the factory image, just in case I screw the pooch on something? I can't find a good download for that either.
Thanks in advance everyone.
And if it is not listed in any of the jargon above, this is an ATT USA device. Also, here is one of the dead links http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Does this method work, or will I brick my device attempting it?
http://trueandroid.com/en/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-note-edge-sm-n915a-att-without-pc/

King Root doesn't work on 6.0.1. I'm having the same problem

I rooted my n915f few days back wasnt an issue even tho I couldn't find the cf auto root for my build in the list. You should be fine using odin.

OP was asking about N915A not F

Don't Attempt Root
Do not try that method. I guarantee it will brick your phone. Bootloader on AT&T version is locked and will not be getting an unlock method ever.
If you already did it and bricked.. look for the Marshmallow OTA files for restore via Odin specific to the AT&T version you have. I bricked my note 4 AT&T attempting root and recovered via Odin and stock firmware files. And i know i did this to a note 4 all att Samsung notes of the same generation have the same locked bootloader ='ing no root ever ?
