[Q] root for dummies - Samsung Galaxy S GT-19000

Hi, I have scoured the web for information but several hours later I am none the wiser.
I would like to root my device in order to optimize its performance. I am super confused about: cf-root, mobile/pc odin, android version, etc. I still have no idea what is appropriate for my device. :crying: Please point me in the right direction.
I have found may threads out there with very detailed instructions, but I can't figure out if that's what I need. I'm apparently on Gingerbread, but what do I need now? The Icecream, the other one?
Reason for rooting: phone too slow with so many apps loading themselves in the background. I want to be able to prevent all these [expletive deleted] apps from loading themselves automatically. I also want to remove the stock apps I don't need (but can't now remove). I'm tired of factory resetting every other week to improve performance.
Ultimate purpose: phone, sms, whatsapp, news. That's it. I don't need 3d porn or anything. :angel: My needs are extremely minimal.
Thanks for any pointers! :good:

Thanks Sewrizer. I'd rather brick the phone than pay for the service. I already have a more recent phone, so this is more of a second device. It's just that I like the typing better so I haven't completely stopped using it. I guess I'm sort of relishing the idea of an experiment with it as well.
Do you have a link to instructions for the above? If it works for your friend, it's good enough for me.
Unless I hear something back, I'm getting ready to try this:

thanks a lot.

which cf-root?
Thanks Sewrizer. As it happens these are the instructions I started with, and from which a lot of confusion arose (I can't post urls yet).
The first link is to Odin3 v1.85, but I have found Odin3 v1.87. Not sure if there is a later version. It says somewhere that the latest version is best.
The second link is to a series of posts with many download links. Somewhere down the page it states that if you're confused, then:
First, go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. It should say something like FROYO.xxJPy. It's primarily the JPy that we are interested in. Try to match that with a download link available in this (and the next few) posts. Some of the downloads dont just have JPy file name format, but are called xx_xxx_JPy.
Let me explain that. Samsung isn't always very precise in naming/marking their different (leaked) firmwares. CF-Root's are modified kernels, the filenames explain in more detail which exact firmware ROM the base kernel was taken from, for those experts who understand.
If you are not one of those people, go back to the JPy thing. The "y" in JPy is 0-9, A-Z. If they run out of numbers, they use letters. So A would be 10 (9 + 1), while Z would be 35 (9 + 26). Find the one that is closest to yours, if yours is not present, and flash that one.

Well, my build number is of the form GINGERBREAD.zsjv6, which doesn't fit the pattern described (I don't see any JPy, I see jv6), so which version of CF-Root should I download?
GT-19000. Firmware Version: 2.3.3. Baseband Version: I9000ZSJV6. Kernel Version:2.6.35.7. Build number: GINGERBREAD.zsjv6
Thanks!

How to root your S3
Hi, I used one available in droid lessons, but i'm not allowed to post links yet. Just look in google for droid lessons and then " How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S3 " It was really easy, and worked great for me.

downgrade
Sewrizer said:
Looks like that tutorial was only good for stock froyo users. Since you have gingerbread you must have updated your phone. I think you may have to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2.

yes you're right I did upgrade at the Samsung store. I'll follow up your link now, but it's starting to sound awfully complicated :silly:

Recovery/Twrp/CWM/ for galaxy tab 4 8.0 (t330nu)

Hi i have recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and am looking into building a Deodex Rom for the device.
The issue is i have not been able to find anywhere on the forum a custom recovery of any kind for this device. I have tried a few versions for other devices such as the Tab3 8.0 and Tab4 7.0 but each time i could not boot into recovery, brought me back to download mode.
My main question and concern is lack of support for this device and i would like to start contributing.
Is there a CWM or TWRP for the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (T330NU)?
If not how can we get one started?
Really want to finish making my custom rom, have all my files Deodexed and ready to go.
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 22:
Source file has been found for this device. If we work together we should be able to FINALLY get a recovery for the Tab 4 8.0 T330nu. If anyone has any useful information or resources to help along the way please feel free to contribute.
SOURCE FOR GALAXY TAB 4 8.0 T330NU (DOWNLOAD USING GOOGLE CHROME ONLY)
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=T330nu
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 23:
Recovery should be in the making for the T330NU variant plus 2 or 3 other variants all in due time so please be patient and let us all work together.
Custom Roms could be on the new horizon to fallow you never know ?
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 26:
Boot.img and recovery.img files dumped from Galaxy Tab 4 8.0.

I was under the assumption that the source files come from open source.Samsung.com, of which all three Tab4 models are represented

Seeing as how our tablet has the Snapdragon 400 chipset, same as in some popular Motorola phones and the like, there is pre-existing development that could benefit us, not to mention the relative ease of Qualcomm developing.

I'm just wondering tho it's a bit off topic but only for a brief moment. I have deodexed files I want to replace from the stock Samsung Rom.
My question is do you know any good programs for extracting and recompiling a stock Rom for recovery install after I have modded and replaced files?
Would prefer to compile the Rom on the computer and have the option to make changes and compile a Rom on the phone/tablet itself. As I said I know this is slightly off topic from the recovery but on the other hand after recovery comes the roms and tweaks. I have a file on standby to deodex stock Rom for t330nu.i have been doing research on programs and ways to do it just figured could get a quick tip or flash of insight.

Discovered "Tickle My Android" should help for the most part

Just want to check in. Still nothing for us yet. I don't want to push the guys since they are doing this purely as favors since they don't have the devices. I am keeping in touch with them however. Also I pmd @Dees_Troy but haven't heard back there either. One of my buddy's is a friend of his and said he usually won't make a recovery for a device he doesn't have but if a recovery is made and proven working, he will make it official which means more support.

Greatly appreciated, I'm just trying to spread the word and maybe find some more developers willing to help also. Does not hurt to ask right.

[Q&A] [MOD] Boot logo modder - not to be confused with BOOT ANIMATION!

Q&A for [MOD] Boot logo modder - not to be confused with BOOT ANIMATION!
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [MOD] Boot logo modder - not to be confused with BOOT ANIMATION!. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

Sorry guys, it's my bad.
So here is exactly on what firmware should be work: ICS 4.0.4 - JB 4.3. :good:
Problem with KitKat Android is because KitKat has a different memory block programming!
And if you see in my first post, you can see where the bootlogo lies.
And next story is, I don't have Samsung tablet anymore because I want to buy Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ver.2014.
Now I developed scripts for Mediatek CPU. So be patience and after some time I will have my dream up Samsung.
Thanks for understanding, your Peter.

Boot Logo Mod is over.
Hi,
as you can see in my signature, I have another "pet" to play with.
So in this case, I can't continue this MOD without device Samsung. All devices which you can find in my previous post (to August 2014) are working. But KitKat has no support.
Sorry guys, and I hope that we will meet in another post.:angel:

Hi,
i just wanted to mention, that this also works on a n8020 device. You just have to use the latest philz touch recovery (5.15.0 in my case) and mount the efs partition. After that you can install the bootlogo zip from the thread and go on like described.
I have a n8020 device with latest 4.4.2 kitkat installed (n8020xxudni2).
Good luck.
Cheers.

Hi could you help me where can i download zedomax (i ve tried with philz cwm) ? I have the same problem, and my pc did't recognise my tab it s really annoying (I use smegg stock solid rom ) gt n 8020. What does it mean mount EFS ?

Do You Know Of Something That A Developer Has Not Yet Done? Tell/Request It Here!

The request that you make is intended to be for the purpose of having a collection of development ideas from the amazing XDA community, all in one place. This will give developers a single place to go to get ideas, see what people are wanting, and possibly get involved in helping to build something. I will soon be looking for small development projects myself, just to gain experience and knowledge before I move on to my bigger personal projects. Other members are looking for projects at this very moment, both big and small. I hope that this will be a place where developers and members can all join together and share their ideas and talents!
So if you would like to see your idea become a reality in the future, then please post your request today (custom kernels, recoveries, ROM's, apps, Xposed modules, tweaks, scripts, .zip files, root, bootloader unlock, themes, mods, tools, etc., or something completely new)! Some things could be very quick and easy to develop. A script, Xposed module, etc., could be developed with very little work involved (sometimes). Replies from developers are not anticipated and they are not standing by to fulfill your every request (especially if you have that random device with no developer support anywhere, as in some cases the developer would need to have the same device as you do). Please remember that there is no guarantee that anyone will be able to develop the request that you have, or that it is even possible. Any modifications done to your device is done at your own risk, so please make a nandroid backup prior to any changes.
Here are a couple example requests. Remember that if you want your post to even be looked at seriously you must include plenty of details. Feel free to follow these examples to keep this thread clean and informative...​
Device: Sprint Galaxy S3 (ND8)
ROM: Latest CM 12.1 nightly (Android 5.1.1)
Rooted: Yes
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.0
Request: Silent mode for ringer volume
Reason: Volume goes to vibrate, but not all the way to silent like when I was on android 4.4.2. When I am in a meeting, vibrate mode is still audible in a quiet room
Other: Willing to donate $10 to a developer for a solution to this
Device: Sprint Galaxy S8
ROM: Stock (Android 7.0)
Rooted: No
Recovery: Stock recovery
Request: Looking for root
Reason: Many people are looking for a way to root this device and no one has been able to do it yet
Other: I would be very thankful if someone could find a solution to this. I do not have this device, but my sister does

Reserved

1st
att htc m8. rooted. unlocked bootloader. superCID. twrp 2.8.7.0. firmware 4.16.401.10. hboot 3.19. currently running slim 4.4.4.
i would like[]STRIKE][love to see more security-oriented-built-roms (for all devices really).
something along the lines of tails/anonymousOS , unaROM , omni , etc.
there is a "pure" AOSP lolli rom which i consider a step forward and thank you to the dev and maintainer. if interested can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3208859
:thumbup: @Alberto97 , @Soham jambhekar , [MENTION=6484426]yeshwanthvshenoy , & @srisurya95.
am certainly no developer myself but could potentially "guiena pig" a test build.
thanks for reading.
thanks for a great idea for a thread.

Request: another app like Xblast...http://http://forum.xda-developers....d-xblasttools-quiethours-centerclock-t2294419
Reason: this was coolest app for customization, but less and less works on cm nightlies and i cant go back to kk. only a couple things work now and i finally gave up on it.
Other: i would donate a couple bucks if it was similar enough

Device: All devices using tapatalk
Request: Xposed module or something that will display signatures on xda
Reason: Many people using tapatalk always say to others, "i cant see ur sig. im using tapatalk. i feel like this could be solved by a module or something that auto enters it as reg text at the bottom of each post u make. although gifs and img may not work, at least it would be most of a sig showing
Other: i dont use tapatalk but this or something similar would be a neat project and maybe easy

Device: Any
Request: program that will show u who is watching ur items on ebay
Reason: it would be awesome to know who is watching utems so u can message them or make them an offer they cant refuse to sell quick! idk if its possible but it would be cool!

T110 bricking after applying e.g. T210 ROM - Why ?
Hello guys
First of all: I am an absolute beginner regarding ROMs etc. and i hope that my question is rightplaced here.
What i would like to understand is the technically background why a device bricks ? When i compare the specs of T110 vs. T210 i can see little or no difference with regards to CPU etc. ( see: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/comp...msung_SM-T210/BHitems/1023209-REG_1016095-REG )
And second: What about the efforts to bring CM 1x or Lineage xy to this device ? Is there work going on and one has to wait a few month, or isn't there any progress and it would be better to drop this tablet ?
By the way - i havent tried it up to now, because i am in the phase to understand all the tools and procedures, fallback strategies etc. etc.
