rooting Bell GT-I9000M GINGERBREAD.GKG3

solm001 · October 22nd, 2011, 01:09 PM

There are many methods to rooting 2.3.3 posted out there (gingerbreak, superoneclick, etc.).

I haven't found one to work with GINGERBREAD.GKG3.

Then there are a few other, sometime conflicting ways to accomplish the same by flashing different ROM, kernel, etc. Don't want to end up with a brick.

What would be the least risky and simple way to root my Bell GT-I9000M GINGERBREAD.GKG3 ?

thanks.

(sorry first post can't put links in)

I used it for one time root to unlock my Virgin locked phone. Had to mess with nv_data.bin as the /dev/block/bml3 trick failed to give me a working code.

That was just annoying not being able to click the link. So here it is

I currently have this one
[I9000M] UGKG3 Available on Kies - Page 17 - xda-developers

installed on my Bell i9000m

The only catch is you need to put it in a tar file for Odin to be able to flash it.

Here is the same file packaged in a tar file:

Hi:

I cannot seem to get CWM to work with the Bell Samsung Galaxy S I9000M device using this kernel. The kernel will install and boot up and it is rooted, ie: after I install the superuser app and terminal app I can do su to root no problem.

However, when I install the ClockworkMod app, and flash it to the ROM and reboot into it, it is still using the "stock" 3e recovery image.

What am I missing here? pls help

thx.
