Hi there!
I have been looking for a way to upgrade my girlfriend's phone to android 4.0 or higher.
However, I always end up with manuals/instructions with broken or missing links to valuable resources such as necessary files needed for the endeavor.
Here's what I found about the phone:
Model number GT-I9000
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version I9000XXJM1
Kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number ECLAIR.XWJM7
I have no idea whether the phone is rooted or what. I don't know how to root.
Can someone point me out to the right instruction webpage or provide me with correct instructions?
Your help will be well appreciated.
Thanks!
Seems like nobody can help me..
I guess the device is waay too outdated for any updates then :\

I have a nexus S and need help rooting it. Ive tried using search but iam always missing one piece of information like Build number or android version or model number. So i come to everyone on the board for help.
I have Nexus S i 9020t, android version 2.3.3, baseband i9020xxkb3, build number gri54. I will be using a mac to do the rooting. What information do i need from my phone to root it? Is there a guide out there with my specs?
thx for the help everyone!!!
So you are now rooted? If you still haven't done it, I remember there's a thread in the development section explaining the steps for rooting under Mac.

I have a Samsung 7” tablet that was purchased from T-Mobile. I have contacted both Samsung and T-Mobile to try to get an updated OS for this device, but can not get anything from either one. I get pushed off from one to the other saying it is up to the other to provide a software update. There are other users on T-Mobiles site that have the same issue and anything I could find out I will gladly pass on to help them also. There are some features on the new OS that I and others would like to have installed. Can someone please help! I use this device for my business on a daily basis and any help would be greatly appreciated. The device information is listed below.
Samsung 7” Galaxy Tab
Model: SGH-T849
Firmware: 2.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.UVJJB
Carrier: T-Mobile
Can someone let me know the following questions:
1. What is the most current OS that can be installed on my tablet?
2. Where can I find the software and directions to install it?
3. Is there any known issues that need to be addressed after the software is installed.
4. Is there a modem driver that needs to be installed in order for the data package to work?
Thank you for your time and look forward to a reply.

I'm not sure if the phone was originally gingerbread or honeycomb, hopefully thats not an issue?

Hi,
Yes there is a CM 9/10 for the phone. I have actually installed CM9 on my phone. I wouldn't advise using CM10 yet because some bugs are still being worked out but i'm not discouraging you from trying =). To install it here are the instructions:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954
That website has everything you need. Also if anything goes wrong there is a method to restore the original firmware. If you need any more help reply and i'll help out =)
Best of Luck!
hahahaha to lazy to search
argh. here is the method ur about to request/Q.1 answer : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1
Q.1 follow the link that i gave it to you and it will give you not just root but a kernel and BML roms installation guide
Q.2 installing CWM to latest? ahm idunno about it? "I" its possible but twrp is possible ..
Q.3 we dont have stable cyanoge. but barebone i (think that is the name) a gingerbread BML? roms that, that is stable..
And if you're worried about it since it's not your phone, you can at least get to official GB through Kies without voiding the warranty... if you're doing stuff from here you can be sure that the warranty is shot. The Kies one you get straight from T-Mo or Samsung, so if it hoses (and the phone is still under replacement protection) they should cover it. Here... it's more complicated.
the TRUTH is im AFRAID to MOD her phone because its not mine and i dont know what correct files
should i use please help me guys!!
The other option is to have someone do it for you. I soft bricked my phone so I sent it to MobileTechVideos. They fixed it and installed a new ROM for me. Rooting and ROM service is $30. The repair service + new ROM is $60. Make certain that you specify which ROM version you want. No affiliation, just a satisfied customer. Good luck.
I would also wonder does your aunt need a special ROM on the phone? Is this her first smart phone? If so I would just root it and remove all the bloat apps with titanium backup and the phone would be tip top with amazing battery life. Find out what she needs in a phone before installing the ROMs because some features may not work.
I would check for software updates as well because it should be at 2.3 so you can just run it rooted with 2.3 and its a great phone. I ran it like that for quite awhile.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
thanks for those who replied i just updated her phone to 2.3 and rooted it plus i removed the bloated apps (just like i did when i got my 1st smart phone hehe!) :angel:
