Heloo,
I'm a noob, just switched from iphone. Got Galaxy s 4g and promptly rooted 2.2.1 with Superoneclick. Then I saw the 2.3.6 had been released and I installed it and lost my root.
All the methods I see right now use a program called Odin, and two files, and both update your phone to 2.3.6 as well as root.
How do I just do the root part? Can it be separated from the update? Or are the root and the update one and the same? Will putting 2.3.6 on again with Odin, if I have to, work ok? In other words, do I do something different or do the same thing.
Or is there another way for 2.3.6?
There are several references to it here. Search the forum for SuperOneClick 2.2; this will allow you to root 2.3.6.

Odin is proprietary software leaked by Samsung to write partition images to the phone from "Download Mode".
Heimdall is a reverse-engineered, open-source implementation of Odin written by Benjamin Dobell and others so that we don't have to depend on proprietary or leaked software.
Both do about the same thing, but IMO, heimdall is more flexible and easier to use.

Do not connect your phone to you computer yet!!!
Download KJ1 kernel for odin.
Download Odin 1.83
Start Odin
Click PDA and select the KJ1.tar.md5 that you downloaded
hold vol+ and vol- on your phone and plug in the usb cable. Don't let go of the vol+ and vol- until you either see a screen that allows you to enter download mode by pressing the volume+ key, or a neon triangle saying "Download Mode"
Now that you are in Download Mode, you should see odin saying that the serial port is connected. If so, Click "Start".
Just writing drhonk's kj1 kernel should give you root, as the description from the page says:
"- Auto root (kernel will automatically root your GB ROM if its not rooted and install superuser.apk)"
--
If you'd rather use Heimdall (your on linux or mac, and don't have a windows box to run Odin on):
Download Heimdall. Install it.
Extract the zImage from either the Odin or CWM package
Do the same procedure as with odin above to get into Download Mode.
Go to the "Utilities" page in heimdall-frontend. Click "Save As" in the "Download PIT" and save the file as "sgs4g.pit" (or whatever, as long as it is *.pit)
Go to the "Flash" page and browse for the PIT you just saved.
Click "Add" below the "Partitions (Files)" and select "Partition Name" that is "KERNEL", then browse for the zImage you extracted in step 2.
Do the same thing as Step 6, but use RECOVERY and still use the same zImage. (DO NOT SELECT "Repartition" OR "No Reboot")
Click Start
At the end of either Odin or Heimdall, the phone will reboot, and your phone should now have root and the awesome KJ1 kernel drhonk made.
Debugging mode n super oneclick

Hey bro,
I understood all of your steps but when i get to the flash step so i can choose the .pit file that i saved in the previous step it is no where to be found. Using Mac OSx btw.
EDIT: Simply forgot to put "hit download after initially saving the .pit file"

The newest superoneclick works for 2.3.6 i first did that its zergrush exploit
Sent From My Rockin' Galaxy S 4G
wow this worked like a damn charm thanks my friend
Im new as well
hey there people im new to the whole rooting as well but i have succesfully rooted my phone and have all the superuser permissions but i used the "Hiemdall process" and i see alot of threads talking about the "SOC" way of rooting and that same method for loading the custom roms
My questions is "If I want a custom rom on my phone are the methods the same as long as its rooted"
The SuperOneClick method is only for rooting. If you want to flash a ROM you have three methods. CWM, ODIN and Heimdall.
If you give us more information on what you are currently running (i.e. firmware 2.2.1 or 2.36) and are you complete stock we can give you directions on the easiest way to flash a custom ROM.
If you are still on stock and rooted you can read this thread for the easiest way to flash a custom ROM. Read the bold section headers and determine where you currently are in the process and go from there.

Here's a guide on installing ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Installing_a_ROM
Here is a list of custom ROMs you can install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/List_of_ROMs
this is what im running
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband Version t959vuvkj6
Kernel version 2.6.35.7
Buildnumber Gingerbread.vuvk6
Also i checked the link that showed how to load custom roms but my other question is can you use different methods of loading roms or should you stay using the same method you used to root the phone. I used Heimdall, but am i able to use odin or the clock work mod.

Yes, you have all those methods available to you. Note though that if you used Heimdall you won't get Odin to recognize your phone unless you install the Samsung drivers. Stick to Heimdall as it's more versatile, the only time you'll need to use Heimdall is when you soft brick anyway. From here on out most of the ROMs you're going to be flashing are gonna be CWM ROMs, so that's what you want to learn how to do well.

Questions
Hi,
I tried several methods with no success. The issue is that the /system is read only, so it can't be written. Now I'm planning to try this one also.
The questions are:
1. Does it reflash only the bootloader or the whole Android on my mobile?
2. If just the bootloader is reflashed how will the /system mounted to rw?
3. If it reflashes Android what image will be finally put on my device? Will I have problems with my mobile after having boot.img flashed?
4. Is there any way to save the existing image before reflashing it?
Thanks,
T
Thanks
I have had my me865 for about a month, have tried many different ways to root. This one worked. Thank you very much.:victory::highfive:
I'm a newb here so excuse the stupidity.
When i dl the file from the link you provided do i just run ROOT (the batch file) or do i need to do something else first.
I tried other rooting methods for my me865 but they didn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

No stupidity exist in a genuine problem you need help with. As for your question, yes it's basically to run the root batch file as long as you enable Unknown sources and USB debugging. If you've already tried all of this and still no go then I'm not sure. One thing when I'm always re-rooting is that when my phone is rebooting, I sometimes unplug and reinsert the USB so that it completes successfully. Keep trying and I recommend the newer one-click root files. :thumbup:

Help with directions
Good morning , this is my first post on xda. I recently bought an atrix 2, and been reading the most i could. However im still unsure on how to get the things done. I post in this thread cause it think i might have the Honk kong firmware, but i want to know how do i check that?. The phone is a ME865 model and came with 2.3.6 GB, and i did an update to this system version, 55.91.109.ME865.Retail.en.05 succefull. Now i get another OTA that i suspect is ICS which is 67.220.3.en.05. I have not done any modifications or installed any recovery yet.
So my first question is,am i in HKTW firmware? if yes, should i use the OTA ICS upgrade?.
If positive, then when im on ICS what rom should i flash, i know its the retail china rom but can i use the one form here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934874 and then after rooting , should i use the HTKTW rom from the link, to go back?
From there i would like to know if i can use the BMM recovery. And if i can do any type of backup with it before or after some point in case of any trouble. I know theres a method called FXZ , but i dont know to what rom i should fxz back in this particular case. After the ICS update can i fxz back to GB , or theres no need and i could fxz back to a clean ICS HKTW rom?
Finally. iwould like to try 4.2.2 roms, like Mokee. What steps do you recomend me to follow from my current version 2.3.6 GB. Sorry if my grammar isnt good, ill try to explain again if needed. Thanks in Advance.

mmmm... I don't see the HKTW on the System Version, so I think you have the Chinese Version. Anyway You should try OTA Upgrade if you want ICS. If you use OTA Update or FXZ files then It's not possible go back to GB. But in my expirience ICS is much better and smooth than GB.
If your upgrade is the Hong Kong Version... and You dont want that version always You could try another ICS Firmware (MB or ME) from the link you posted above. But again in my experience the ME Firmware are much more smooth than MB Firmware.
To flash firmwares... You need 3 things:
The firmware (ICS 4.0.4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934874
RSD Lite: http://fwteam.grupoandroid.com/OTAs/RSDLite6.1.5.zip
and Drivers: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/78863/p/30,6720,8109
Later of download the firmware and install RSD Lite and drivers What you need to do is:
Connect the phone to PC
Turn off the phone and then press the volumen +, volumen - and power button, the three at the same time.
Then, you select AP Fastboot.
Open RSD Lite and click the three points (...) and select the firmware downloaded
Click Decompress only wait and...
Click Start button and wait...
Obviously in the proccess do not disconnect the phone. And you need 60-70% of battery at least.
It takes about 10 minutes aprox and the first boot takes another 10 minutes. All you need to do is wait until your phone ask you to SELECT A LANGUAGE.
This video can help you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prToF5JXqSA
the difference is that you must select your firmware downloaded.
On the other hand... If you want to try ROMs based on JB 4.2.2... It's necessary upgrade to ICS.
I dont test Mokee ROM, but usually Its necessary to install ClockWorkMod Recovery (a.k.a. CWM Recovery)... and for that You should install Atrix2Bootstrap app ( 1st Attached, Unknown sources must be enable), then:
Open the app, XD
Click Bootstrap Recovery Button to install the Recovery (You must be root for this, so if you are not... You can read this thread (if you don't have the Hong Kong Version), download the files and execute the bat file for root your phone.
Click Reboot Recovery Button and wait... and that's all. XD
For flashing ROM, First...
Select Wipe cache partition and Yes. Then
Select install zip from sdcard,
Then... Choose zip from sdcard (The Mokee ROM should be on the sdcard) and Yes
Finally Reboot System Now.
I hope this can help you.

Thanks a lot you cleared some important questions i had. So now i successfully upgraded via OTA to ICS 4.0.4 to 6.7.2_GC-220-EDS-3. That means im on HKTW rom right?. From this point on, how should i root this phone? Do i first flash with RSD Lite the fastboot-p3_edison-edison-user-4.0.4-6.7.2_GC-180-EDS-20-31-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN_chn.tar, then i use the root(still dont know how) and then flash back the fastboot-p3_edison-edison-user-4.0.4-6.7.2_GC-220-EDS-3-65-release-keys-Retail-05_hktwn.tar with RSD lite?.
Also should i wipe any data or cache before flashing with RSD lite?. Can i install the BMM recovery ( needed for most 4.2.2 roms) before doing the rooting process and make some sort of backup just to be safe?. Thanks in advance

Hi!, If you have an image same as first attached file (specially the HKTW between the red lines) then Yes, You have the Hong Kong/Taiwan version XD.
Now, RSD Lite is a tool for flashing Factory ROMs also known as Stock ROMs, XD. The Stock ROM don't have root access. Everytime you flash Stock ROM with RSD Lite... you loose the root access if you already have it.
On the other hand, I understand you want to have root access, then as you have the HK/TW version, you need an "special" method for gain root access (download it from here). First of all, You need to install the drivers and connect the phone to PC. Then follow the steps:
The Connection to PC must be MTP mode (it's the default connection I think, but just in case you read this)
Open settings on your phone and tap on developer options
Check/Enable "USB Debugging"
Go back to settings and tap on security
Check/Enable "Unknown Sources"
Unzip the file on your desktop
Execute ROOT.bat and wait... (The phone will reboot several times... so don't freak out, lol)
If the method works well, you should see an image like 2nd attached file, and you should have installed an app named Superuser.
That's it!. Congrats you have root access and don't forget the words from uncle Ben: With great power comes great responsibility
PD: You can install any custom Recovery you want, Honestly...I never do Backup (I like clean installs) and only tested CWM Recovery (require root access) and Stock Recovery... That's all I needed, but you are a free man! so test all you want, but be careful in the process. Read the post several times. Always remenber the words from uncle Ben, always. LoL.
I Am unable to mount system or cache either and also i cant flash certain files from my CWM recovery I think it is because I forgot to root my device before flashing the CWM from stock recovery. Now I can't do nandroid backup or root the device either i need help. The data speed is too slow at my home I'll not be able to download stock rom (it would take days to download)... Is there any way??

Recovery Mode doesn't need root to function. Try the Universal GB Root package and tell me what happens, a bit more information would be helpful, like, if an error shows, or something like that...
EDIT: OH! I just realized what is happening! You are using CWM with a Stock ROM that you want to root, right? Well, CWM does NOT support .EFS file systems. It can't mount the /system/ partition to write on it. When you install a custom ROM with it, it re-formats the system partition to EXT4. So, you can't use both a Stock ROM and CWM. They do not support each other. You need to flash a custom ROM. Or use the Stock Recovery to flash the Root Zip.
another trouble.....
thanks i figured that out but also now there is another problem...please help me.
I downloaded the stock rom and it has only two files ( a .dll and an file HOME.tar) but i loaded the file as PDA in

Ok, i'll wait for the screenshot =)
Also, this is a first i have ever heard of this problem. If the drivers are OK, Odin is showing the COM Port, and the Setup begins, my only guess is that you got the wrong flash files... Are you sure you'r device is "s5670"? not some other model? Also, i recommend downloading official firmware from SamFirmware. But for now, i wait for screenie =)

Hi @koukis32
Dnt wry Bro ur cell is just fine please download the Firmware pages that you want to flash from the link below by entering your phone model number or i shall also paste link where in you can download the package directly also.
You can find the required ODIN Firmware Package as you wish for the ODIN tool
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and put in the Device Model Number and download it
or complete Firmware Package of Gingerbread 2.3.6 DDKT3 you can find the link below
http://hotfile.com/dl/146050815/b3b9...2_INU.zip.html in case this link doesn't work please download the Packages from above link as I can't check it from my office so dntmnd
For ODIN Flashing Tool:
http://www.downloads.techdiscussion....ting-software/
and Procedure to Flash is:
- Shutdown Galaxy Fit and restart it in Recovery Mode. For that hold the volume down key + Home key and power key. Hold it for some seconds and leave it. The device will boot in recovery mode. When the yellow triangle, connect cell phone and a computer with a USB cable.
- Launch ODIN on your system. In that look under ID:COM section. The section will turn to yellow once the device is connected and detected.
- Now click on OPS. It will ask you to browse the downloaded firmware package. Browse to GIO_1.0.ops. Once it is selected click on One Package and choose S5670DDKT3_S5670ODDKT2_S5670DDKT2_HOME.tar.md5.
- Now click on Start. The update process has started and it will take few minutes to complete.
- Once it is done, the device will reboot itself. Later on you can go in Settings and checkout the firmware version.
And considering still you still in Galaxy Fit Page then go take a break and relax and follow the instructions in the link which I have shared you phone will come back to life.

Ok, i'll wait for the screenshot =)
Also, this is a first i have ever heard of this problem. If the drivers are OK, Odin is showing the COM Port, and the Setup begins, my only guess is that you got the wrong flash files... Are you sure you'r device is "s5670"? not some other model? Also, i recommend downloading official firmware from SamFirmware. But for now, i wait for screenie =)

thaks for helping sorry for the long Delay. solved the problem!!!! just downloaded a stock deodexed rom.zip and flashed...... booted up fine
Whenever I attempt to flash a Cyanogenmod Rom for P3110 (Using that because I have a P3113) I get a Status 7 Error.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Flash the latest @Android-Andi Philz Touch or TWRP recovery and that should solve the problem (I recommend flashing the recovery with Odin or Heimdall.) Status 7 error usually means outdated recovery.

Well, that may have worked but before I did anything I let it charge, this is the message I got though: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
How should I go about this? I cannot do anything in Kies because the P3113 won't turn on. Whenever I plug it in to the PC if makes the sound of connecting, then disconnecting over and over again.

What exactly did you do that it did this? Did you attempt to flash the recovery in Odin or Heimdall? If Odin, which version?

Since the Cyanogenmod Rom failed flashing I tried to flash the stock firmware using Odin v.1.83 (Odin v3.09 and v3.07 wouldn't open) in order to get a Rom, then I tried to re-root it using v1.83, but it died when I was trying to. So, I decided to charge it and that's what happened. At least that's what I remember. My USB connector works but doesn't charge when connected to the PC, that's why it died. Other than that I do not believe anything else was done to it.

OK, that makes more sense. If your device died during installation that will happen. If I use Odin, I usually use v1.85, but I have found Heimdall to be more stable and consistent. Can you boot into download mode?
Edit: also, what version of windows are you running?

There have been known problem using Odin on Windows 8, but I've done it multiple times. (I had kies installed if it makes any difference)
Anyway, do you have a Linux computer laying around somewhere? Depending on what happened during I installation, one can be used to maybe trip the device into a bootloop and then from there you can boot into recovery and flash a ROM. (I had to do this with my S2 after a power glitch while using Odin.) Odin isn't needed to root the tab. All you have to do us use Odin or Heimdall to flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and then flash SuperSU.zip in recovery.

Not necessarily but it was just what I used and what worked. Does Odin detect the device on the firmware upgrade encountered an error screen?

Odin does detect the device. So you SHOULD be able to go to www.samfirmware.com , click on "Firmware Database" and select the options in the drop down boxes for your tablet. Download the zip file (you'll need a sammobile account) and then extract the zip file. You should have a tar.md5 or a tar file that you can flash in Odin. Make sure your tab is charged and you run Odin as admin. After you flash that, reboot into recovery (will be stock recovery) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. Now you should be able to reboot into stock android (with TouchWIZ of course). To root from here, use Odin to flash latest @Android-Andi TWRP recovery and the flash @Chainfire's SuperSU.zip and you'll be rooted!
As always, I am not responsible for what happens to your device. Doing this will raise your flash counter and void your warranty, which is probably void already if you flashed anything before.

That is quite weird. I have done the same thing at least 2 or 3 times. Try going to https://builds.casual-dev.com/jodin3/ Make sure you plug in your device before loading the above page. Your device should be detected when the page loads. In PDA put the latest TWRP tar file. Click start. It will say something like it needs a pit file and will reboot to find it. Click OK. It might fail but thats fine. Unplug your device. It will reboot and should show a bootloop. Now you should be able to reboot into recovery. If not, you might have to JTag but I don't know. For future reference, if a ROM is bootlooping, don't flash stock in Odin. Just do a full wipe and reflash the ROM and that should fix it.

EDIT: if the tab died during installation of an important file, it can ruin the device. www.mobiletechvideos.com does have JTAG service that can be used as a last resort. It costs around 50 US Dollars.

hey
i have a s6 demo unit G920x
i want to install custom recovery twrp but when i do (twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar) via odin the phone doesnt go any futher than the samsung boot screen (even when i hold the volume up, power and home button)
i managed to go back to the original recover with CF auto root (CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i.tar.md5), but when i boot the recovery up, i cant wipe the phone because it is a demo unit (mdm does not allow factory reset)
on the end of the recovery there are also two yellow lines saying '''dm-verity verification failed...'' and ''Need to check DRK first...)
So, anyone know how to get the custom recovery working so i can install a new rom through the recovery, or does anyone has the official fimware for the demo unit
ps. my recovery is LRX22G.G920IDVU1AOC6 and downloadmode G920XXXU1A0BI_LLK (not sure about this one, i red this from the recovery log)
allright, found the way to unbrick
even when the recovery is not working;
1. Go to sammobile and download the fimware you think it is the right one (for example, the one matching your recovery)
2. Extract the fimware file
3. You will now have somthing like this G920IDVU1AOC6_G920ICOD1AOC6_G920IDVU1AOC6_HOME.tar.md5
4. rename it to anything shorter (ie ldu925x.tar)
5 download cygwin and install it
6 Move the tar file (ldu925x.tar) to C:\cygwin\home\''username''
7 Open cygwin
and delete all the ''.bin'' files by typing the following commands
tar --delete --file=ldu925x.tar modem.bin
tar --delete --file=ldu925x.tar cm.bin
tar --delete --file=ldu925x.tar sboot.bin
8 Once the last command is done just close cygwin. if you want you can check if cygwin really deleted te bin files, by opening the .tar file with winrar
9 Make sure the samsung drivers are installed on your computer
10 Download the latest odin and unzip it
11 Open odin and connect your S6
12 Click on AP and choose modified .tar file from step 7 and press start
... your s6 should boot a few times, and then start up like new, if not, try another fimware from your country from sammobile

Can I do that on my SM-G920X? will it brick my device?
which model?
no it wont if you do it right. I did this on my own SM-G920X
i would recommend you to go into the recovery mode if you didnt flash a custom one, and see what model customrecovery is on your s6, mine was LRX22G.G920IDVU1AOC6, so i downloaded the matching fimware from sammobile (the one with country unkown)
good luck

I didn't exactly understand.
Listen: Your story is identical to mine. I bought mine from someone who got it stuck on S6 live demo trying to root it. I flashed exactly the same firmware you mentioned (But different country) without removing the modem or anything (I now have a weird mostly 0 IMEI with baseband) . Can I take a 5.1.1 SM-G920I (same model) and flash it? Thts all. Thanks!

i think it should work if you use the fimware for 5.1.1 with the same operator and same country you used for the 5.0.2 version
if it does not, and odin gives you a failure, you could always just flash back the 5.0.2 version.
i'm currently downloading the 5.1.1 fimware for my s6, and I will install it later on today, i will let you know whetever it worked or not

allright, i flashed the only rom on sammobile with country unkown on 5.1.1,
it flashes but it does not go any further than the samsung boot screen, neither goes into recovery, so i flashed back the other old rom.
i looked on the internet and i think my s6 5.0.2 provider didnt recieve the 5.1.1 update, maybe you have more luck on trying it, if anything goes wrong, you can always flash back to the old rom.
anyway good luck

you seem to have the original recovery, there isnt a original s6 rom for your recovery
i bought mine without the original recovery and i couldnt get into the recovery, so i fistly flashed the CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i.tar.md5 to get a working recovery, but now i cant get twrp to work.
if you really want to get your s6 without the demo software, i would suggest you to firstly try this http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-disable-exit-galaxy-s6-demo-live-unit-retail-mode/
if for whatever reason, that doesnt solve your problem (ie your s6 is not booting or it doesnt work) i recommend to flash the twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar or the twrp-2.8.7.0-zerofltespr.img.tar (if you live in a country with sprint) first . If you manage to get into the custom recovery you could just flash the fimware in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
if both of these suggestions are not working for you, you could just do what i did. First flash CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i.tar.md5, than download this file G920IDVU1AOC6_G920ICOD1AOC6_COD.zip from this link (http://dl.sammobile.com/M1FbQyA3Ij1...eRUFfXkI./G920IDVU1AOC6_G920ICOD1AOC6_COD.zip) and follow the tutorial i wrote
Thank you very muchi will try it. , do you have the link for "CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i.tar.md5" please?

Do I need to disable Samsung Demo Mode in order to odin flash anything? It seems usb debugging mode is disabled by the Samsung retail mode (actually the entire developer options is greyed out).
