Hey there everybody,
I'm new on the forums and i just got my samsung i5500 a few days ago, it came with 2.2 froyo by default.
Considering i have loads of questions I'll try to be brief, I'm trying to get cyanogenmod on my phone but the tutorial i found there seemed to be quite lacking in detail considering this is my first time using android, so my questions are:
1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please)
2. do i need to root my phone ?
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places)
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ?
5. do i need the rom manager ?
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ?
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ?
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ?
Please excuse my noobish questions but i'm completely new at this and terrified of damaging my phone, thanks for your time and attention.

1. Install 'clockworkmod recovery'
2. Yes
3. Did that for me, but pressing the root button again, before shutting app, worked
4. No, you can install clockworkmod through the app 'ROM Manager' found in the market, be sure to click our phone model though!
5. For installing clockworkmod, and if you get premium, downloading the latest version of cyanogen
6. Through premium app 'ROM Manager', or go to the rom manager website and find the files on there.
7. You have that option when you are booted into recovery mode (used for installing roms)
8. If I understood your question right, cyanogen rom is gingerbread 2.3.7 so installing that is all you have to do
I was exactly the same as you when I first did it, kept asking questions and was nervous, but if you follow the instructions, you can't go wrong

3. Tried pressing the root button several times(without closing the app) but to no avail, any other suggestions ?
4. Tried installing it through rom manager but my phone model wasn't in the list, any ideas why ? could my phone not being rooted have affected this ?
6. tried searching around on the site but the cyanogenmod post says that the files are only available on the weekends or you need a premium account or something like this, any help with this ?
7. how do i get into recovery mode ?
thanks for the helps so far, i really appreciate it

Do you have the latest version of it? Or,
have you tried any other apps? E.g 'z4root' or 'superoneclickroot'
4. When did you try it? Its only recently been added. And I would root first, just to make sure that's not stopping it
6. I havnt personally used it, but id ask that in the dedicated cyanogen port thread in development, they'll be able to help you more
7. Through rom manager, after you have installed the clockworkmod

Yes, as i said i have 1.6.2 beta 5, and i haven't tried the others because this one was deemed the safest to use, i'm kind of skiddish about using other unsafe programs
4. I tried it a few hours ago, but i guess i'll try again if i can get it to root.
6. found em, thx anyway
Alright, its there for me so if you root and its not there just tell me and ill try help from there. Good luck!

1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please) Root your phone using Universal Androot- might take a few tries- just keep trying, flash your phone with Clockwork Mod v4 via Odin (or Rom Manager), put the 3 latest CM7 files on your devices SD card, go into recovery mode on your device, then install the files in the specific order (Follow the simple instructions on the official I5500 CM7 thread located under the Development section of our phones forum)
2. do i need to root my phone ? Yes
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places) Just keep trying, it'll work eventually.
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ? I used Odin to flash Clockworkmod on my phone but I think you can do it via Rom Manager now, not too sure but the ODIN method was pretty simple, plug your phone into computer, put your phone into download mode and follow the 'One Package' method and then start the process.
5. do i need the rom manager ? I didn't need Rom Manager when I flashed CM7 to my phone, but CM7 automatically puts RomManager on your device.
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ? Check out the official CM7 I5500 thread.
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ? Go into recovery mode and click wipe data.
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ? CM7 installs 2.3.7 Gingerbread to your device.

I'm still a noob at this kind of stuff, but I hope i have helped.
thanks guys for your help, i got everything working
If your phone is loaded with Froyo 2.2.2 you will have to downgrade to 2.2.1 as the exploit used by superoneclick ect to allow root access was fixed in the latest Froyo release. Just follow the threads for upgrading. Good luck!

Birdmanul, I have had the same problems trying to root my I5500. Could you PLEASE give me a run down of the program you used or what EXACTLY you did to root your phone? I have tried w/all one click root programs w/o success and would really appreciate your insight. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi
I looked around and saw a few ppl having trouble while rooting vibrant.
I've put update.zip on /sdcard, and when i reboot my phone in recovery mode it says something about my package not being signed.
So i googled and did this:
java -classpath "/home/ohai/Downloads/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/sign/testsign.jar" testsign update.zip file-signed.zip
(don't worry, i'm not that stupid, i DO have the sdk and the testsign installed here)
then renamed file-signed.zip to update.zip and replaced it on /sdcard, but still got the same message.
Does anyone have a link to a actually working update.zip to vibrant's froyo?
i'm using froyo.UVJL4, downloaded from samfirmware.com.
Thx in advance
?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Everyone's update.zip is usually different is what i'd think.
try getting titanium backup, click menu and click menu, and then CREATE update.zip
that might help you out.
Go to dec section and look for the jl4 rom from geodude(cant remember exact name...) His rom, odex or deodex both come prerooted with the 3e recovery fix as well. Flash that. KTB.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you are comfortable using the voodoo lagfix you can flash the new voodoo 5 kernels. They come with the SU binary and clockworkmod recovery built in. Then download busybox and superuser from the market. You'd have to flash via ODIN though.
Thx for the tips, but i was not thinking about using modified roms... all i want is to root my default rom from samsung, is it possible?
You need the correct key to sign the zip file. My understanding is this key was not released by Samsung so you will not be able to sign your update.zip files to work with the 3e recovery.
The 2e recovery accepted a "test key" which is why we're able to use update.zip to root and use CWM.
The RATC method still works for rooting in the 2.2 Firmware. You can use SuperOneClick to root, and then replace the stock 3e recovery with the one from here. This is a modified 3e recovery which removes the signature checking.
How about trying the ALT METHOD in the Noob Guide (my signature)... then flash a stock rom with root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857974
personally, you are hurting yourself by not running a rom like Nero v3 or Eugenes Ginger Clones.
Rooting T-Mobile Vibrant Froyo 2.2 JL5
I have the T-mobile Vibrant US Phone. I upgraded to JL5 and have rooted my phone with a program from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Get the latest version and you might have to run the program 2 or 3 times for it to finish. Note on my phone these were the steps I took.
1. Put phone in USB Debugging Mode.
2. Plug usb cable to computer.
3. Run the rooting program above with windows administrator rights.
4. It will run then probably hang half way through and indicate WAITING FOR
DEVICE.
5. Shut windows program down.
6. Reboot phone (Turn Off then On).
7. Reconnect to usb.
8. Restart the Rooting Program and Root.
9. It should finish and ask if you want to test SU say yes.
10. That's It you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.

You still can't get rooted & you want FroYo?
I attached cwm update.zip so just use that to get into CWM Recovery (Reinstall Packages, You may need to do it twice) and then just flash the following ROM

ive tried using the guide that s15274n wrote (btw, thanks for the awesome writeup) but i have the same problem of the update.zip file not passign the signature verifaction.
i would like to stay with a stock ROM for at least another couple weeks because of the super high chance of this phone bricking itself

So many people figure out what was wrong and they are done. Thank you for posting your finding, I have been trying to Root my Bell Vibrant for a while.
Use SuperOneClickRoot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Works all the time for Vibrant!
Dear all,
I recently bought an LGP500 and im lovin it..!!!! Came across this forum and found that there are heaps of developments thats taking place in this platform! Really wanna thank each and everyone for their time and effort in trying to improvise on the OS.
I came across [UNOFFICIAL][ROM][stable:6.5.5,testing:6.6] CyanogenMod 7.1-RC1 (Android 2.3.4) and i really want to install it (or in that case, and good GB OS) over my froyo. I have been through a lot of threads on flashing and rooting, but im still very unclear about the whole process. Im not a computer geek, and all these jargon kinda make me feel like a bozo .
As a last resort, im trying out this thread. Would really appreciate if someone could spare some time and provide a simple walkthrough from - (a) backing up the original OS, (b) on through flashing and rooting, (c) to installing this custom ROM and (d) finally restoring it if needed for warranty purposes. Im pretty sure there are a lot of people like me who has difficulty in understanding all these processes and missing out some great developments.
I hope everyone understands this and wont consider this as one of those spam/duplicate threads, where the same Qs are repeated again and again...!
Thanks a lot for any support
Yes, the same Q's are repeated yet again. But I'm in a good mood today and I'll try not to give you much flak for it.
1. Root your phone, use z4root if android v2.2, use gingerbreak (both are apps) if on v2.2.1/2.2.2.
2. Install a custom recovery, of two kinds: AmonRa or ClockworkMod. Search for these threads.
3. Boot into recovery mode for backing up your current rom and installing a new one.
I hope this is a good summary. Before asking any further questions, check out the FAQ link in my signature.
Also read some stickies to enhance your knowledge. The_error has made a very good introduction thread on technical stuff.
In android, for using custom roms, first thing is to root. Then one has to install a recovery. Then make a nandroid backup from recovery. Then wipe everything from recovery and then flash your desired rom.
I suggest you do this:
1. Instal z4root app from market and Root your phone via it.
2. Install rom manager from market.
3. Install clockwork mod recovery via it.
Now you can go to recovery via rom manager or swith off and press and hold for about 15-30 seconds home+volume down+ power button.
Once you are in recovery, you are free to fly.
so which will be the most stable rom (no over clocking) for smooth usage, simple ui, internet and good video playback support. I herd there is problem with some roms not being able to play divx files.
I say rjtchn`s cm7 has the best battery I've had
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I can't find either z4root or Gingerbreak in the market. Searching XDA Developers I see several versions of z4root floating around, but since my Optimus V is 2.2.1, I gather I should be using Gingerbreak anyway? Pointers to the correct APK appreciated. Otherwise if I should be going the ADB route, pointers to a thread that has working drivers for the O V linked would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
OK, to answer my own Question, latest version (that I have tested works) of Gingerbreak is at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Now to figure out which kernel or rom to go with...
--deleted--
hey i am a noob and can't understand what to do with those softwares which are mentioned above, is there any step by step guide from starting to end??
any help would be highly appreciable
ok..i am a noob too.. so what all guys are saying is that, let me simplify:
There are basically 3 steps,
first, install a "gingerbreak" app, which is a apk (u can copy it ur mem.card and using file manager (its default in your stock android), u can install it from ur android after copying
secondly, install ROM Manager Free from Market and Install ClockworkMod Recovery from that app(dont fret about technical names..just do it), its easy as click and download
thirdly, download the Custom ROM like Mik's CM7 6.5.6 or something that pleases you and copy the necessary files posted in the Custom ROM'S page, all will be zip files...and restart the phone , By pressing vol.up+home+power button..u Will get to a different screen(that is recovery) , and make a nandroid backup as everyone says(all options are seen in the recovery) ...then clear cache..clean anything and everything..then install zip file from sd card...choose the Custom ROM and Restart (and lastly , forgot to tell you ,navigate by presssing volume keys and menu key as ok button)
..ok...maybe its not simple as it looks,,once you try..it will be easy as taking candy from a baby, thanks to all the guides and developers and all the ppl that supports it.
There are further step by step tutorials , if u search for it.. i was confused as hell too.. dont worry, U Will get the hang of it Noobz

you should really follow the instructions on the rom of your choice, but ill just give you the general scope of things:
1. root phone using one of the methods found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
2. after rooting, flash custom recovery:
http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/221388-custom-recovery-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html
3. download rom of your choice from the link in #1 and move it to the root of your sdcard (which is directory /sdcard)
(3.5 you can use titanium backup to backup your apps. the sdcard should stay untouched while you flash your phone but im pretty sure that your internal memory will be erased. i didnt do this and i lost all of my apps so i dont really know where this step should go but i think it belongs here. there should be a folder on your phone with those backed up apps. move that folder to your computer. i didnt do this so im not sure if this is how it goes, sorry. btw this is optional.)
4. boot into recovery (with your phone off, hold home+vol down+power)
5. make a nandroid backup
6. wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache (follow the instructions on the rom that you chose)
7. flash (your rom name).zip
8. reboot phone (might take a while, thats normal)
the following is if you backed up your apps earlier:
9. move the folder with your apps backed up back to your phone in the exact same directory it was
10. restore it with titanium backup
someone please confirm this.
thanx guys

Seriously, the whole rooting proccess on 7500 takes about 30 seconds. You need to do exactly what's outlined in this thread.

[GTP7500] >>> New!!!
1. Download this Root.zip file to your tablet and move it to root directory of tablet storage. (you can also download on comp. then transfer to tablet)
2. Reboot tab and go into recovery mode and apply the root.zip you just downloaded.
3. Then reboot
rooted already
For CWM
1. After rooting download and install Rom Manager from market.
2. open Rom Manager app and have it install clockwork Mod to your device, you should see your device listed within Rom manager.
3. Done.

It doesn't wipe any data, it simply installs root. If you need CWM you need to do the "For CWM" steps.

Download Rom manager u can backup and restore as required
After reading this post, I remembered a funny thing,
I accidently downloaded the 7510 files instead of the 7500 files when i rooted my tab.... The thing is that I rooted with no problems and it worked great.
how can this happen? Is this normal?

Root on 7500
Hi! I want to be sure of something before doing it...
I want to become root on my 7500 I can't afford to lose any thing on it (apps, data, settings...) because it's not my tab.
So by downloading the RETAIL 3G [GTP7500] root.zip, and going into recovery mode to install the zip, will I lose something or not? Someone said in this post that no data is wiped, but in there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
They say that install a rom in going to wipe all the apps... and I feel like it's what we do here since we are in the recovery mode.
Anyway, thanks for any precisions.

This has been answered several times in this thread.
Installing a custom recovery and installing Superuser does not cause you to lose data. You'll end up with a rooted, but still stock, tablet. All of your data will still be there unless you do something else, like installing a custom ROM.
Download cwm recovery.md5 from droidbasement
Do some odin, install superuser.

Hi all....
Yes, there are loads of threads on this, but it appears my own specific problem isn't mentioned anywhere and I'm hoping someone can help.
The normal 'update.zip' way or rooting (official) 2.3.3 just doesn't work on my Ace - I get the following error:
Applying Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/h3g/system'
Installation aborted
I think it may be something to do with the three mobile firmware, but can't be sure - is there any way of rooting this so I can use Titanium Backup?
TIA

Yes, it is, and have also tried renaming it as suggested a couple of other places - very frustrating!
You're on stock recovery ? If yes , flash CWM and try again .

Hi,
Im on 3 and I rooted sucessfully (and unrooted) if you look on the android foums website in the galaxy ace section - look for a post uk gingerbread 3 network out today then read through there u should find out how.
It wont let me post a link on here!
Note the comment about the error.
Worked for me

The last time I tried CWM on my last Ace it totally bricked it! Not compatible, so reluctant to go down that road again unless I know for sure it won't brick it. I was lucky enough to get the bricked one swapped out as faulty as it was less than a week old.....
EDIT: Actually, it was ROM Manager that bricked the phone, but I'm wary of anything with the 'ClockWorkMod' name attached to it!

I'll go find the thread, thanks.....
EDIT: Found it, but although my own errors as described in my 1st post, it definitely isn't rooted after it.... no root privileges for Titanium or anything else when trying to run them.....
Does anyone know if there's a compatible CWM for the Ace? I mean one that doesn't brick it when you select 'Backup' from the CWM menu!!

No joy - I did get CWM installed, and did a backup but still can't root the stupid thing. CWM gives less info on the problem than Samsung recovery....
--Installing: /sdcard update.zip
Finding update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
I think I'll just have to give up as it appears no one else has this problem so it's not likely to be solved.... at least it never got bricked this time...
I actually downloaded the update.zip again and tried..... different error in CWM, but much more info this time......
I think your only way to root is to flash a custom ROM .

Ta - what custom ROM's are available, is there a list anywhere? Is there anything actually better than 2.3.3?
I guess since I can't use TB I'd need to reinstall all my apps again if I flashed a custom ROM!! *Groan*
you can try cf-root by ketut.kumajaya
Tried VillanROM (three times) but no keyboard - seems like a common problem with it. Don't think I fancy the cf-root. Too many files available at the bottom of the post and don't know which one to use, plus many pages of problems with it, so I think I'll pass.....
I too own an SGA (2.3.3) on 3 and rooted it using this zip:
http://db.tt/6YsR3WVM
I selected "install zip from sdcard" instead of "install update from sdcard".
Worked first time for me. Hope that helps =)

Tis' OK - I put 2.3.4 on it, then CodeROM v2, so it's now rooted anyway.... at last!!
Thanks to all.
So i still cant get my phone rooted.
I have searches all over this forum and find many threads. I have tried many of them and nothing works. For normal people like me mutch of the words and explanations developers give are to complex to understand. I hardly know what a bootloader is, or a cmw file. And even a harder time finding out where and whitch files to download.
Is there not anybody out there who can give a step by step walktrough with links to what to download and how to use it for my kind of version.
I just want to root my darn phone to let Cyanogenmod take it over and make it happy again Any Mod suggestion would be great to.
Ps: i easly rooted and use Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Tab 2 so i'm not totally retarded
You rooted a galaxy but dont know what cmw is?
Anyway, all instructions are found in the sticky threads. More especially, read the second sticky thread in that section. All instructions ahve been given in exact detail there...
If you are usnsure what the words mean I suggest you read up on them as if you dont know what to do you can damage your phone.
As i said i'm kina a noob. And instead of just confusing me more why don't you or anybody else just try to link me to a guide that works.. As i said i have tried many of the guides in sticky treads and some links there are dead and others dont work.
I have updated to latest ICS and heard that i should be carefull so i dont brick my phon..as the reason i try to get help here. I found a easy guide for my tab where there was a walktrough wit links to the software i needed to downmload and use. And that is what i need here too.
So instead of complaining about how unknowledge i am cant i just get some help instead???
If you would tell us what you tried and where you stuck, maybe someone could help you.
Sticky thread in general section have valid links, as far as I know.

Y dont u unlock bootloader or install CWM and get CM9 or CM10 installed instead of rooting and then flashing CM?
By the way CWM helps u to easily flash ROMS and take nandroid backups and restore them.
So i can Just unlock bootloader and use av rom without rotting at all? This would be great because i only wanted to root it to use rom's on it.
Feel like a kid with a new toy now. Gona run home and try it asap
Some ROM's(like CM,AOKP,AOSP...) require custom kernel.
Some ROM's(mostly, stock based) can work on locked bootloader.
Most(99%) of ROM's are already prerooted.
To install any custom rom, you need CWM, to get CWM you ether need to have root and after that install CWM, or you can flash custom kernel with (in 99% of them) already included CWM.
So for us mortals the problem is still on. Tried to open the bootloader with sony's own tool, but when i turn of my phone and connect usb to get to bootloader it does not findt any drivers.. Even though i downloaded it.
I just want C-mod 10 on my phone and that's it. So how do i flash the custom kernel when i ned cmw to even get it rooted? Sorry but i guess i'm a big noob at this.
Are you on XP?
if yes,
Try to install the drivers on Safe Mode and Plug your mobile while pressing Menu key.
It will install the drivers.
I'm on Windows 7. Acording to the tutorials i found when i plug my phone to usb there should come up a message that says "could not install drivers, and from there i can find them manually.. But no such message comes up and there is nothing in device manager either.
I'm totally lost here. Have tried to root my phone before so maby some old drivers are the reason for this?

Just install custom rom using cwm and dont forget to backup first your current rom using cwm. Later if got any problem and u can just restore it back.
