How to root Samsung Galaxy S i9000 easiest way with one click Tool

Rooting your Android system gives you access to core files and control over full system. It gives you ability to alter many inbuilt Core apps like Calender, Messages,etc. Moreover, you can install 3rd party apps and customized themes. Samsung Galaxy S i9000 is fresh in market and I share the easiest way to root your device in one click and even unroot it to original firmware.

Senior members at forum-xda have developed a windows tool which can root Samsung Galaxy S i9000 in one click (for 2.1 Eclair and 2.2 Froyo) and unroot Samsung Galaxy S easy way (For 2.1 Eclair only).

  4. Connect your Device to PC / Laptop using USB Cable.

So there’s a tool to root ur os! Seems easy. So which is better, Samsung’s implementation or the default 2.1 version?

Hi,
Works fine with Android 2.1.
For unix users, you can simply copy the root.zip to your sdcard and rename into update.zip.
Then apply update.zip like explained in the article.

Thanks for this tips

    Yeah, It can be done without using this tool too. Just copy update.zip to /sdcard and Restart Mobile in Recovery mode to Apply it.

Seems like it does not work on JP6 and JPM:

“This has been tested on stock Android 2.1 Eclair and 2.2 Froyo JP2 not JP3.”

1. My samsung galaxy s is only 1 week old. If i root my fone will it affect the warranty?
2. Can i upgrade my firmware to 2.2 without rooting it?
3. If i root it now can i upgrade to 2.2 afterwards?

hope to hear from u. thanks

    Rooting affects Warranty but it can be unRooted by ReFlashing to stock ROM, its not a big deal.
    Yes, Upgrading to 2.2 does not necessarily require Rooting and it can be upgraded even after rooting.

      Unroot 2.1 doesn’t unroot my rooted galaxy s?why so?can I upgrade to 2.2 at samsung without any warranty issues?

        Rohit Langde - March 20, 2011

        Are you on Stock ROM? This app has problem with Custom ROMs I guess. And yes, upgrade your firmware to 2.2 but when you root, you have already voided warranty. My Personal experience says, it doesn’t have any problem with warranty as Service Center guys accept it even after rooting.

Hi, i have the same problem as Ales: E:SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAILED
INSTALATION ABORTED,
so what can i do to root my phone so i can install the one click lag fix?

    The one click root will not work anymore on newer versions of Froyo. You can just download the Z4root from the market and use the app to root or unroot your SGS.
