You can use GingerBreak to root your phone. If you need to downgrade after installing a custom ROM, just restore the NAND backup of your current system (which you should do before installing the custom ROM.) Hope this helps.

Hey guys! I have a quick question.
I also have Android 2.2.2 and the V.10e update. In a famous german forum they said the p500 CANT BE ROOTED with 10e. Does it work or not? I am a little confused now... I don't want to brick my phone, you know...
yes, I am ashamed of my knowledge
and yes, I've read through a lot of articles here in the forum and this thread also...
EDIT:
Just for not getting me wrong... I don't want to flash anything, I just want to use root to throw out these pre-installed crap like xing, studivz etc. and to save my zenonia saves ;D
EIDT2:
In this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900905] it says the following:
su
Also referred as substitute user - is command for changing of the account in current terminal (usually black screen with blinking cursor). Default account is root account. So if you insert into terminal 'su' and hit enter, you will become root user.

I wouldn't need the exploit, if I could do it via ADB... (if I knew the correct commands for the folders on the phone)

Alright then... But my question was, if I could do this stuff JUST with ADB, so I wouldn't lose my warranty...
Second question was if there are complications with V10e...
THANK YOU
Your first question does not make sense. How does it matter how do you root the phone when it comes to warranty?
For the rest, it takes about 2 minutes with Gingerbreak APK on v10e.

Anyways.. Got my new phone, and started it off with rooting it, and did the flash ImageGUI.. Now for the picking of the rom. I just want one stable back rom that i will enjoy.. I have been told to use CM7.. But I'm confused about the nightly's and all that good stuff. So could someone please point me in the right direction? With new baseband?? I think?
Help would be greatly appreciated or even if someone wanted to hit me up on gtalk at [email protected] to help walk me threw it and maybe some tips would be awesome too
Anyways thanks for your help
I would like to use this rom.. Just dunno if i have to upgrade from the start or can i just download the link and flash from there?

before installing the ICS i want to backup the current ROM thats is Stock rom "company rom"

Root is not needed kernel is part of the firmware .
Flash a stock Samsung rom from Stock rom thread or from posted ICS roms in General via Odin .
Alternative wait for your phones upgrade via KIES or use Checkfus to download firmware .
Root is only required if you are flashing a custom firmware that requires CWM and Root and most do .
jje
After installing kies ,,, a frimware update show up ,,
now i think its better to update the frimeware throw kies right ??
and is it possible to install ics with kies ??? or i need to flash costume kernel with CWM recovery !!
thanks in advance
ok
personally I would look at Chainfire topic on easy rooting etc, or you could use SuperOneClickRoot & then install any number of custom roms from the I9100 android development section here at XDA

Ask your "mum" or your "little sister" to do it for you.
But they must remember how to unlock "your" phone.
You, sir, are full of it.

A factory reset that could have been avoided by doing the account recovery procedure provided in the other thread.... But whatever. Enjoy your new phone.

You should learn how to concoct slightly more plausible lies - think of all the time you could have saved instead of frantically editing your other posts.

ROM (Read Only Memory) these are the firmwares or operating system that comes pre-installed with u phone, there are also various types of custom available on this xda dev forums for download.
now u will be asking what are these custom ROMs
Answer to it - When we buy a new phone (any company it may be from) it comes wirh all necessary as well as some unnecessary apps
(bloatware) with it, most of dont like this bloatware bcoz we dont use them and some of them cause unnecessary battery drain, and moreover we dont have root access to our phones for which we search for custom roms.
CM9 (cyanogenmod 9) its the most famous custom rom available known for its fast performance, root level access, no bloatware etc etc
again so it mean they for customization of phone and for fast performance if i wnat to install them how i can i do that and also if they safe mean no harm for phone i have gingerbread GS2

if u find difficult to understand the same on those thread, then i would advice u to not to venture into anything silly, since the same could potentially brick ur phone.
If u have free time, I suggest u try GB roms first, they are old but all of them are safe, new Rom on ICS or JB are unstable and someone with little exp like u might be scared to get a soft/hard brick be careful with the Kernels too

(1) Read this and the stickies guide in Generel section
(2) There is no "best" rom
(3) You cannot root a phone with cyanogenmod or any other rom respectivly, a rom does not root!
(4) After reading you should be able to answer all your questions by yourself, otherwise do not root or flash anything.

for rooting just follow the guides, yes, I guess the easiest option is cf-autoroot (will keep your stock recovery, also read the instructions in the cf-autoroot thread). Afrer that you can choose yourself what recovery you want. In addition cf-root6.4 is not considered SDS safe as it flashes an older recovery.
