My phone info is:
Hardware Version
I500.04
Model Number
SCH-I500
Firmware Version
2.3.5
Baseband Version
S:i500.04 K.EI20
Kernal Version
2.6.35.7
Build Number
SCH-I500.EI20
I am wanting to completely root my phone and install a clean slate of Gingerbread on it.
I've tried Z4Root, (I was able to root my phone with it back in 2.1), and have also tried Super One Click.
Nothing works now that I have Gingerbread and I can't find anything TO work.
I am praying to the xda gods for their wisdom and knowledge to help me with this problem! I have been at this since 9AM, it is 2PM. What can I do??
i dont use sgs, but i do know cfroot kernel or any other kernel based on cfroot can help u out.

Thank you
Thanks man, Ill check those out!
JollyRogersOne I have the same problem If you find a way please let me know.
Same Problem
If anyone comes up wit a good link or video that will be very helpful
I have this same phone and took a look at the links in the second post. However the kernel numbers don't seem to be following the same format as the links in the thread.
Has anyone had any luck rooting this kernel on the c spire galaxy s showcase?
I tried Odin3 and it messed up my phone and I had to go get a new one.
I'm also looking for help on this as well.
SuperOneClick
I'm having the same issues. I have tried SuperOneClick and it stops on step 6.
I'm having the same problem too after updating to 2.3.5. Super one click freezes on step 6.
Same issue with my CSpire SGS running 2.3.5. I do think that speed and battery life are improved over 2.2, but I miss my root.

If you used Odin, I doubt that it messed up your phone. What did you try to flash with Odin?

Did you guys do the official update with Kies? Send me a PM for a way to get a rooted ROM on your Showcase.
I did so the official update from C Spire. I'm not interested in a custom rom I just want to root my phone so I can use wifi tether with my galaxy tab again.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've ran several custom roms on my phone, but would like the option to just run stock with root so I can remove all of the bloatware from CSpire.
I've also had various issues with some other roms, ranging from no auto-rotate to glitchy in-call audio.

Cannot figure out adb.
I've tried all things to reroot after gingerbread update. Now I'm here to try this method. I cannot however figure out the command process. Can someone please be a bit, or a lot, more explanatory. I'm probably the most noobish person here.
Thanks!
I want stable gingerbread with root.

This worked great. I did have to reboot (as you always should...I just get impatient sometimes...) to get everything flowing smoothly. It scared me on reboot because I thought it was getting hung up, but right before I pulled the battery it went to the screen lock. Phew.
Thanks guys!
Im not able to get Odin to recognize my phone. Is there another way?
I suck at this. I want to root my phone but can never do it right. I have the C spire Samsung Galaxy S with 2.3.5. Can you please help... email me please, [email protected]
Hi,
I just wanted a simple answer (as I could not find one) whether I could simply use Superoneclick to root my Galaxy S2 (providing I installed the correct USB drivers for the phone).
Also, the phone was purchased in the UK (and still is in the UK) so how would that work with roms etc and rooting.
Thanks a ton in advance.
Ben
Yes. I'm in the UK, on contract, i've rooted, flashed rims, csc's, modems, everything, without problems. Good luck.

So you just wacked the phone in, booted up Superoneclick and clicked root?
and could you say what roms you have had success with, or is the Samsung S2 universal (I mean, my old phone the Atrix was separate, I.E. ATT roms needed to be different to Orange roms)

I Don't Have A Answer
I'm sorry that I don't have an answer to your question, but what is new that's in 2.3.6? I have 2.3.5, but I am curious.

v2.3.6
Released on 2 September 2011, this version fixed a voice search bug. The 2.3.6 update had the side-effect of impairing the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality of many Canadian Nexus S phones. Google acknowledged this problem and fixed it in late September

Pretty sure superoneclick will do it easily. There's other threads around here about rooting these devices that should have any info you need.

supeoneclick 2.3.3. doesn't work on stock 2.3.6 EU G70 rom
It depends on whether you want to keep the stock kernel or not. If not, you can flash a custom kernel first and then root it by say zegrush.
Actually I have just rooted the new 2.3.6 EU rom this way.
I have rooted it successfully.
It worked for me

I'm curious too, I tried with Unlock Root and Super One Click but nothing worked.

That's weird because SuperOneClick after the Step #7 is "not responding"... And nothing happen.
After ~20 tries it worked! My Galaxy S Wi-Fi 3.6 is finally rooted!

I've tried everything, and still no luck.
The usb is in developer mode, I tried with dismounted sd card, I removed the sd card completely, turned off the firewall and the virus scanner, reseted the device, removed all the extra programs, changed the usb port on my pc. The cable is good.
The zerg rush runs every time, than superoneclick is stuck at the waiting for the device step, but nothing happens.
Tried all the steps in several combinations, several times, but no luck.
There is another rooting method in the developer forum. It runs fine but after it finished, the device is still not rooted.

Using DoomLorD's Easy Rooting Toolkit 4.0, I was able to root my device on 2.3.6 successfully; I'm using an SGP 4.0 Model YP-G1.
Worked the first time; I suggest trying that method rather than SuperOneClick (I had problems with it when I first got my SGP)
--Trae
Thanks for the help, but it didn't help. I tried a factory reset too, but still no luck.
It seems that the application tells me that there is not enough space on system partition. But without root access, I think there is nothing I can do.

Hi all,
I ordered a SGP 4.0 and will receive it today. Should I root it as soon as I receive it? Does 'rooting' make any changes to the stock firmware? Does it change anything else compare to a stock SGP beside that it will have 'root' permission?
I am new to the Android environment as I have never owned one before, but I am an embedded software guy by trade (on a totally different discipline and processor family) so I'm not a stranger in the firmware world and Linux environment.
Later, I like to learn programming/hacking the Android for fun and hope that I will be able to contribute something.
Thanks for any comment.

No, all it does is just give you root access.
Not really, unless you want to use Titanium Backup. Mine is rooted (I think, can't remember lol) and I really don't see any other advantages except for overclock apps or other root-only apps.
Overall, it's not necessary. Just flash a ROM (I prefer CM7 or Klin's Klassic ROM) and a kernel (NOTE: Steve's kernel for the US and INTL 4.0 may cause bootloops if you boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery).
Thanks! I appreciate the replies. So, if I want to root, I just grab the latest version of Superoneclick and have at it?
If I were you I would wait a little longer and get some more information about this, beofre rooting. I rooted my Player using Superuser, just the latest one I could find.

I rooted mine using DoomLord's Easy Rooting Toolkit v4, but AFAIK superoneclick should work as well.

See, I used DooMLoRD's Rooting Toolkit, which I find to work, unlike the time I tried to root with SuperOneClick. If one doesn't work, go with the other.

Almost all devices using 2.3 will work. SGP4 does work with it. If you see galaxy s I9000 expect SGPs to be in it.

Its the model info like i have galaxy player 4.0 YP-G1 and on gameloft games it says device is incompatible so i used the es file explorer and enabled root explorer in settings and went to phone/system and look for build.prop make a copy of it and put it somewhere and i changed the ones that had YP-G1 to GT-I9000 save and reboot and it fixes the incompatible message

Uummm...hell yeah!
I would 100% suggest you root your device, mainly for the fact that all the custom roms are more stable and user friendly than the stock samsung ROMS, I rooted my SGP installed a custom ROM on it and I'm living it up, I'm so happy that I can't even explain it. I couls give you the link to the rom forum for the SGP's if you want?
It will void your warranty. but i think its still worth it .it raly depends on what you want to do with your android.

Hey, I'm a huge novice at all of this. I've had my player for a few months and I've heard of tons of people that have rooted their device.
What does it allow you to do? Is it how you get more themes?
I'm very unintelligent on this subject so any clarification would be great...
Hello Hello!
Okay so i am new to the forum and i hope im posting this to the right place! so i am not a total noob to this type of stuff but i recently got the Atrix 4G and am having a HECK of a time doing what i need (not sure if i will get shut down, but in short i want to be able to use the wifi hot spot tethering running on straight talk)
i have read through post after post and have tried every variation on this site and about 3 others for root my phone but none seem to work... It is my understanding that i need to unlock the boot loader in order to root this phone but all of the boot loader unlocks dont work.
Here is my phone info:
Model: MB860
Android: 2.3.6
Kernel verson: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: 4.5.141
if anyone is willing and capable i will be very appreciative of any help!
Rooting is for getting extra access to your phone that require such rights to do so. Unlocking is needed for installing custom ROMS.
If you are looking for a way to root your phone, then check out "Doomlord's method". I don't have the link handy, but just Google "Doomlord root Atrix" and take the first result...
