Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Rooted Successfully

by Jeffry on June 22, 2010

Guys over samdroid have rooted Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.1 successfully providing full access to its system files. The exploit provides a /system/bin/su from AOSP (that is, you can only use it from adb shell). Once you get the full root access to the file system of Galaxy S, you can modify the phone’s firmware and install third party apps, themes and custom ROMs.

You just need to flash the kernel for galaxy S i9000 with root. Your data or programs will not be deleted.  Leshak, the guy behind the jailbreak suggest that experienced users should try this method as it is danderous and might brick you phone.

    Warning!!!
    Don't buy Samsun Galaxy S, too many problems with the software. At least need to wait for a few years.
    I bought it a few days ago, I waited too much time trying to connect to my laptop, still not successful, many people are facing the same problem. This company seems reluctant to fix the problem.
    I bought it last Thursday, Last friday I went to their shop in Jurong point, they fix it for many days, yestoday, I went to get it back, still not fixed.
    What should I do now? Don't know how.

    It is a little cheapper, but the time I wasted on it is much more than to buy a good phone.
    Samsun is really providing cheap products, but regardless of quality.
    I have to use it without connection to PC.
    Strongly recomend, Don't buy Samsun!!!

    you know what the fix is? just install the latest Samsung PC Studio………. seriously, people buying smartphones should know how to operate a smartphone…. it is called a SMARTPHONE after all…. Jesus…I bought mines yesterday, plug and play with the new PC Studio…. people nowadays… the answer is right in front of your faces and yet are to blinded with all the laziness people are used to. here's a tip, GOOGLE it… i'm sick and tired of hearing all this nonsense from people who are to lazy to finding a solution.

    Hey Man!

    You are damn right! Samsung Galaxy i9000 sucks. I just bought one few days back and all was well until I paired the Galaxy phone to my car audio bluetooth for handsfree use, but It refuses to pair with my car audio system later I took it to Samsung authorised service centre but nerdy fool's technician's dumb asses could not figure out what the problem was and they kept update binary files which didn't bring any good news to my phone. Later I just had to check it myself and I figured it out That when the phone is in virgin condition with no contacts on it it gets paired with my bluetooth audio system and works pretty fine, but when I sync my google account contacts which is over more than 650 contacts, the phone actually starts to give up, ending up to these sort of problems. My final verdict is Samsung got to improve a lot on Smart Phone I guess it is still not their cup of tea! Grow up guys talk to actual users to improve your device than working with a bunch of jokers at you R&D. “”"”"”A device greatness and flawlessness is felt when the device is least buggy”"”"”"”"”"”

    Having the same problem as Jaykumar KG.
    I am Googling it an all I’ve found, that briefly resembles my problems are these posts. I’ll try your option although I refuse to sync with PC apps, or do anything as retro as using USB for syncing. It’s a smart phone and it has to work on its own. And it has to work in a car and for normal business usage otherwise its just an overpriced gameboy for spoiled kids.
