Hi
Ok I know this is an old phone but I hope someone can help .
I've been hunting the forums for an easy way to root my Samsung GT-I5800 running Froyo 2.2.
There's lots of advice on the forums but they are old threads and the links they give to the suggested appllications such as :
Superonclick . z4root , etc don't work or the files are currupt.
I have used Superoneclick on a later samsung phone and it mad the job really easy but the version I have won't work with this phone / android version.
Maybe is some one has a the z4root files they could upload them , or any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

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 .

Sorry but im using my tab so dont have it. Maybe flash a custom rom using odin as theyll be rooted already
also, z4root may have messed with it. I read somewhere it messes with rooting his phone

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 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.

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.

Sureoneclick works for Any GB or Froyo ROM
You can try it out
Hi!
I don't think that Superoneclick works with every GB firmware. Actually, i'm using I9003XWKPK firmware and superoneclick did not work. I tried it several times.
amit.bagarias universal root worked like a charm !
Oh ya?
Because, I am on XXKPQ and used Superoneclick..The older version.
And, If it is so, You can try out the Universal CF-ROOT which is irrespective of your Firmware!

Sir what do you mean by irrespective? You mean any firmware will do? One more thing, in the link provided, there are 2 downloadable links.

I had used the above DoomLords Toolkit one click root for my GB 2.3.6. it worked fine for me. SuperOneClick wasn't working for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056
in this thread, he says this "Attached you will find the CWM ... just flash with ODIN selecting in the PDA source the CWM file. Also you can find the version to flash from CWM Manager app."
Im kinda confused cause i tried downloading odin, then clicked PDA. then cant see that CWM thing he mentioned. I just noticed that the "bagaria-09.GT-I9003_PDA.tar" is there. So should i do this,
1. Put in download mode.
2. Second Plug my phone. (USB debugging ON)
3. Click PDA then select bagaria-09.GT-I9003_PDA.tar
4. Click Start
5. Clear Cache from Recovery mode.
Done? Am i right?
Please clear me up about those CWM thing cause cant understand. Thanks a lot sir.
Yes you are right !
If you already had the CWM app running on your phone you could have used the second file.
I did it like you describe. I always select "reset" before selecting the PDA file.
Good luck
Thanks. I got confidence now. Maybe root it later. But i need more guidance. Ive read a lot of comments, some says after rooting. Their Wi-fi is not working anymore? So say, this happen to me. How do i unroot if i used the amit bagarias.tar through odin?

i am using HCL me G1 Tab (Android 4.0.4 ), Kernel: 3.0.8+.Recovery System 4[3e]. this is my 1st android device, bought it 1 week ago. I am new in Android World.....
I installed Superuser.apk (v3.1.3) [using normal apk installation method]..... Then I got root access in FX File explorer and Titanium backup... Today I found another SUPERUSER.zip (v3.2 signed)..
I tried to flash it from recovery but didn't work... So I just extracted zip files in following folders and replaced the previous ones:
1st mistake, i just copied superuser.apk to /system/app folder [using FX explorer]
2nd, replaced 'su' in /system/bin with the new one.
3rd, copied contents from xbin folder to /system/xbin
Done! and now Superuser not working......
Now u guys can feel what i've done.... just messed up every thing.. Superuser.apk has become a system app, so i can't remove it.. can't delete it because I lost root access in FX explorer. su command not working, because doesn't have permissions... Titanium backup not working... etc.. :crying:
i have some other problems [before all these happened]... after installing andriod sdk and adb drivers, adb commands don't find my device. so i can,t push 'su' again into device.. SuperOneClick stop responding after *daemon started successfully*....
can't install SuperUser in recovery mode.. coz i always get the error:
-- Install /mnt/external_sd ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Can anybody please help me??? I know its my mistake but still i hope for some help from u guys... Please tell me what to do now [when nothing is working]....
thanks in advance..

Can you just re-flash your ROM ? I can't promise you it will work, but if you just clear caches and /system, then you shouldn't lose anything on the internal memory and can start over.

Its pretty simple, just reflash ur phone or simply try to restore it, every android device has an emergency downlod mode, if u can figure out urs, u can simply connect your phone to the pc in edm and input ur imei code or serial number, and abt 45 mins on a 150kB/s speed you will have your device back to normal

But the issue of a rooting apk is not resolved. There really needs to be a rooting apk. Aren't tabs ment to be a computer replacement. Well eventually. ?.. So I thats why issue of a rooting apk is not resolved.
What could be done to request an apk be made or better yet were can I find tutorials to give it ago?

After spending 2 days to figure out how I can get root on my newly purchased Galaxy Tab 4 7.0,
I finally got it to work through vRoot.
Here's a detailed instruction from ShinySide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-galaxy-tab-4-7-t230-t2835264
Now, where I had the problem wasn't what I did. Rather, it was the auto update that Samsung rolled out in August.
I tried doing through vRoot like, 50 times, and got the same result over and over.
Then I read ShinySide's post saying the August update interferes with vRoot so I had to flash my tablet with older firmware.
Lucky for me, ShinySide also has this available on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778374
I did it with NE2, and BOOM. VRoot rooted my phone like a charm.
So, those of you who are having trouble with vRoot (probably seeing X mark instead of a check mark at the end)
check your firmware under About Phone.
If it says August, then you have to flash the device back to the older firmware.
That little detail made me go crazy for the past 2 days, so I thought I'd share that.
So, just remember two things:
1) Check your firmware!
2) DISCONNECT Internet as soon as you install vRoot and run it while you are NOT connected to avoid auto update.
And make sure to THANK ShinySide 'cause he made this possible!
Thank you for posting. I've been looking for root options for my T230NU and was skeptical about VRoot. I don't trust random apps that aren't even in English, you know?
Your post looks good so I may attempt to root as well. Please update if it turns out that VRoot is a bs virus.

Fails during Odin process....ugh. This is killing me, I'm by no means new to any of this and this damn thing simply won't take a custom recovery image or root....ANY help at all would be much appreciated.

I tried it on a few devices. What it does is install a bunch of root apps/exploits and keeps trying till it finds one. I think some installs a chinese app store or somesort Which is kinda weird.

Another guide
Here's a link to another guide for the SM-T230NU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/root-tab-4-sm-t230-t2984670
I'm fairly new to rooting and I haven't tried this.
Thanks all....I haven't tried it yet. My Note 4 is sufficing and working on a few PC builds so just haven't had the need for it lol. I'll try one tomorrow and see what works. +1
HELP!
I think I may have bricked my SM-T230NU
I googled how to root SM-T30NU and didn't realize google was showing me instructions for SM-T530NU when I actually was trying to root SM-T230NU
I followed this guide
(can't share links but if you google root SM-T30NU you should find it)
I get message I am in Odin Mode and my current Binary is custom system status official
It says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried both versions of Kies I found and it doesn't show up in recovery mode.
I am a total noob, please help if possible.
Have you gotten it fixed yet? If not go to the opening post and find the link to the NE2 firmware. Follow instructions there to flash to NE2. You should be fine.

First of all hello ^^ ...
so im trying to root my SM-j100FN im looking for a "confirmation" that the "ROOT FOR J100FN BY HOSAM KASHTO" work without any harm... the thing is that i have searched all around the internet for the root , i found some but whenever i scroll to the comments i see people complaining about bricks and stuck on boot logo or some kind of things... so in few words im looking for somebody who can give me the proper root method for the device (maybe a one-click root method or even using odin or similar technique) i have tried the KINGROOT apk but it doesnt seem to work yet
SO THANKS IN ADVANCE hope i will get some help over here :fingers-crossed:
well ill just wait for the answer ^^'
Sent from my SM-J100FN using XDA Free mobile app
Kingo Root
Try out kingo root. It's harmless and convenient.. only few clicks away... just download the app to your pc then it should give you instructions. If it didnt work.. and suggested you to use odin.. press no. Since you want a no harm chance.
.
.
so yeah. If it didnt work. You have no more option then..
well i didnt really say that i wont ever use odin... in fact i would ! if that spesific img file is not harmless.. then i would take the risk and give it a try
btw i have just tried it out but it failled...
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f777/root-j100fn-1969414/
this is the method i was talking about... is it harmless ?
Using odin definitely have a chance of harm. Since I've never had your kind of phone yet, and if you're really gonna try this. Check for what version of your android the root is. And make sure it's the same ver.
There are times that some people mistakenly thought things were same, (4.4.2 let's say, but you didnt know there was Ver07, Ver10)
ohhh i see... i think am gonna give it a shot but first ... knowing that the only file to use with odin is a boot.img ... lets say i have bricked the device can i recover with the original .tar.md5 file from sammobile ? does it contain everything ?
seccefully rooted ^^ thanks for the help anyway

Here it is BUT ONLY fo SM-J100FN
Thank you!!!
That boot.img broke my SM-J110F. I guess since it was for the SM-J100F!
I ended up redownloading and reinstalling the ROM from sammobile.com and then installing TWRP:

Then just installed the latest SuperSU.
It didnt work for me. my phone imei is "null" now.
I had to reflash my phone
