Hello i am new to this website and i was wanting to know how to root my samsung galaxy showcase sch-i500 from c-spire wireless.I had my phone rooted before i upgraded to gingerbread the other day.I have found some directions on the website but i guess i am not doing them right.I downloaded the gingerbreak from chasefire and i scaned it with my phone but it is showing as wall papper on my applications any help would be appreciated and sorry for asking this question if it has already been asked thanks
Try this app
This is the easiest one I'd used to root my Fascinate I500, But remember to manually restart your phone by removing your battery and putting it back in. For some reason it's not doing that at the end of the process. Good luck.

Rooting i500
Did you ever get root enabled, I imagine you tried superoneclick and it failed. If you didn't get root I can help. It requires cwm and a root-package zip that you flash with cwm.
Problems rooting
I think it may have worked for the original poster but i am having BIG problems rooting my phone from cspire. The one click does not work and i have tried three other ways to do it. I am able to get recovery console access but past that nothing has happened. I followed the instructions at galay forums.net (wont let me post link but when i got to the part where i install the "su-x.x.x.x.zip" file i get the message "installed successfully. enjoy!" but when i reboot to try to go to the next step it always reboots into the recovery. Please help!

Today i saw your post with the link which i downloaded and tried, unfortunately it did not work for me I have the hardware version I500.05 and i think this may have something to do with why i am not able to get it to work.

thats the exact setup I havei just got this phone asa replacement, did you use Odin to flash recovery then flash zip I linked up?I can send you what ever file you need to complete it(recovery root zip etc.) just lemme know
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Yes I used the recovery flash (red clockwork mod) to flash the zip you uploaded for me. It says that it installs and that there are no problems but when I back out and reboot it will just boot back into clockwork rather than into the android os. The closest I've had it to booting right was using the su.x.x.x.x.zip file but when that was used my phone just boot looped (samsung logo boot up bid sanding logo for about two minutes reboot rinse and repeat)

I know how to root my device by odin,first recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5,then Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip.
So,my question is how to unroot my p7510 so that it act as a new one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Thank you for your advice.
in fact,i had read that aritcle carefully：
“UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY
1. Using CWM Flash the stock rom for your device. This unroots your device and basically makes it like a brand new tablet.
2. Use Odin to flash the stock recovery from the filesfordummies.zip.
3. Done, your device is exactly how it was when you picked it up. ”

but i still don't know what CWM is,and is it just an app?
and in the step 2,i don't know where to get filesfordummies.zip.
I want to unroot my tab also. I followed the instroctions and I downloaded a stock rom from Samfirmware.com. How I can flash it with Clockworkmod?

Can someone help me? How can I flash the stock rom with CWM?
i used the instructions in the post that is referenced to unroot. then i had numerous force close. sammy phone support suggested factory reset. i did that and it took me back to out of the box. it then did the minor update to UEKG4, but it won't recognize the TW update. They are wanting me to send it in, but I know it is something with software and I should be able to fix it.
No signs of SU, can't figure out why it won't recognize TW update. Thinking about going back to CWM Recovery to see if there are some advanced options that could help.
Hey ANthesca, I'm having the same problem. It looks like the custom stock rom we went back to is the I/O version, and that version never got the touchwiz update. This is my guess as to why we can't update to touchwiz, I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the official USA Stock rom for my tablet

Hey Mass Zero, I downloaded both those files but the tab isn't able to install them via Clockword recovery, I get errors. Am I doing something wrong?

as stated a couple hundred times around this forum section:
dont use rom manager
I'm not sure how far this warning extends as I'm new to android with this phone, but if you see the sticky at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288112
Big red letters say not to use ROM Manager.
That said, if you open ROM manager, choose "Backup ROM". It will reboot and give you the screen with the green droid and triangle exclamation point. At that screen, press power button and it gives you the CWM Recovery menu. Use volume buttons to select "backup and restore", then home button to choose it. Then home again to pick "backup" on the next screen.
Once done you can go back to the main screen and choose to reboot from there.
Edit: Looks like PirateGhost beat me to it.

It was working fine for backup process, I am not using for rom downloads and updates. And I don't care how many times it has been stated to not use it, it was working fine for backups, and all I was asking for was if anyone can help, and clearly you can't.

so use the backup/restore feature in CWM!
problem solved!
i dont understand how hard it is to comprehend......if ROM manager is giving everyone problems, DONT USE IT. if it was working for you then it stopped, DONT USE IT
pretty cut and dry....
until there is proper implementation of ROM manager, DONT USE IT
re: rom manager
Here is a app which can replace Rom Manager until they update it to be
completely compatible with our new phones.
Download link: http://www.wuala.com/jgmoreno75/Sams....5.apk?lang=en
It does basically all functions of rom manager and many more which rom
manager cannot do. About the only thing I cannot do is to download roms.
Check it out...
Also PLEASE if you are a NOOB reading this please don't post anything pertaining to Rom Manager.
It's just a waste of time since it's not needed at all for doing anything that we do here and there is
NOTHING in Rom Manager which is a requirement for flashing, backing up, restoring, installing or
anything else having to do or pertaining to our Samsung i777 phones..
So let's all just forget that rom manager even exists for now

Were you rooted before flashing cm7? because I experienced the same issue when I unlocked my BL and tried to install cm7 without root...tried different methods but none worked, I hope I'm wrong but I think you might have soft brick and the only method that worked for me was flashing a SBF file through rsdlite
Check out this thread, it will help you solve your issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
I did charge it the first time i plugged it in it went straight to the battery (good) but then a couple mins later my gf hit the wire knocking it out the socket i plugged it back it but now it jus goes to the moto logo and i was using this recovery.

i tried and it chared the first time but now when i plug it in it goes straight to the moto logo
edit: its charging at 40% and the nest step is to flash a better rocovery i think. or a different kernel but how do i do this if i cant put phone into mass storage to copy it over ?
So can you charge your phone?
Can you enter fast boot mode?
Aren't you using rom racers recovery mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
You could flash it via fastboot
Then perform a fastboot full wipe (there's a script that does it all, check dev section )
And tried reflashing cm7;
Or flash a stock rom check fruit cake

I figured out why my phone wasn't working well cm7 at least I was using the wrong recovery I flashed a cwm recovery and Bam it worked like a charm now I have no idea as to why the recovery I had at first wouldn't restore a backup that it had made but oh well its running smoother then ever before.
thanks to everyone on this thread and the few others I've been to.
Much appreciated

Are you sure your flashing the right ROM for your device? Bare in mind that you've got an I9100G phone.
I refuse to help on the basis you cant be bothered to use a real topic title.
Sorry about my Thread title as you can see it was my first thread ill do better with my title on my next thread. Anyways if someone has a link to a website/thread where i can download roms for my GT-I9100G i would be forever grateful. Thanks.

Topic titles should be descriptive not silly generic ones like "hlp plz" that dont tell people browsing forum anything about topic.
To grab stock sammy firmwares for your device you can get them via http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/.
Just put the main rom file in PDA section of ODIN and flash it. Then go back into download mode and flash custom kernel, again via ODIN.
Or to get custom ones....

Hi Everybody,
I was trying to install a new version of cyanogenmod that held kitkat, worked, but heres the problem. After installing the new rom i wanted to put a different kernel. This specific kernel I wanted was not compatible with kitkat, but i wasn't reading, so when it was booting up it was stuck at the Galaxy S Cyanogenmod booting screen. I turned it off and put the device in cwm recovery. I was going to put the right kernel for the device but the SD wound't mount. I looked for a solution, which led me to odin. When I started flashing the status was frozen at nand start write. So I stupidly unplugged it, so now I am greeted with a Phone+!+PC please help me!

Without seeing a picture of the screen, I'm going to have to assume the screen is a blue color with a picture of a computer on it.
If so, that's not a problem at all. That screen is basically the same thing as ODIN/Download mode.
With your device on that screen simply replug in your USB cable and reflash with ODIN.
If you could provide a picture of the screen, I could definitely say for sure that your device is good to go, or not.

If you're talking about this above, then do as Higgs_Boson said above. This is just a force download mode, and happens when you improperly flash something.
