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).

[alert-note] Is It Worth Rooting Android Smartphone If Not Changing ROM? [/alert-note]

Download One click root tool for SGS GT-I9000
Enable USB Debugging mode: Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and check USB Debugging.
Download USB Device Drivers for Windows. (If you have installed Samsung Kies then skip this step)
Connect your Device to PC / Laptop using USB Cable.
Launch Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root.exe from the downloaded tool.

[alert-note]Disable or Block Ads on Android Device using AdFree Android App [/alert-note]

Click on the button One click Root 2.1 (for Eclair) and One Click Root 2.2 (for Froyo) Unrooting is currently only available for 2.1 Eclair builds only.

[alert-note]Set Bing Images as Android Wallpaper Daily and Automatically[/alert-note]

Your Device will now restart automatically in recovery mode. Using the volume keys on left to navigate to the second option reading “Apply Update.zip” and press Home key in middle bottom. After the processing, Phone will reboot again and it is rooted. Please note: Do not unplug USB cable during this complete procedure.

Now, you will see a different icon in your application list called “SuperUser Permission” which means your Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 is now rooted successfully. Now on, while installing some apps like “screenshot” or any theme, window will pop up asking for Super User permission for complete use.

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

Damien BARRERE - August 21, 2010

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

Rohit Langde - August 24, 2010

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.

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?

Francis Xyrel - November 22, 2010

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.

emre - December 3, 2010

Today finally I rooted my galaxy. It worked form me. But I have now another item to be solved. I also have to reach to the Android Market :))
It is impossible for me to download anything from any android market, excluding SAM of course. Is anybody know how am I going to get access to Android market?

Thx.

jasper - February 15, 2011

Yes, and I have exactly the same specs as you do, zerkers te weten. It works just fine. z4root that is.. which is not available in Market anymore. You can download it , amongst others, from http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/z4root-110178.shtml

sideload it onto your SD and just run the APK.

You can find Superuser app by ChainsDD for free in Market
Also have a look at look at SGS Tools (very handy), Titanium Backup (must have), Root Explorer (handy, but be careful).

Happy but still find your galaxy S a bit laggy? project-voodoo.org

I followed the instructions and got: “E:signature verification failed Installation aborted” when it booted in recovery mode. Advice please!

John Robert Osborne - March 7, 2011

I have just used the tool, but in the end I had the message E: signature verification failed – installation aborted – Any advise?? My galaxy s already has the latest firmware installed (only had it 4 days) but I am trying to clear a “locked??” app “Google Street view” which is not working. Am I wasting my time trying to clean/clear the device this way . . I have been told by Samsung that I have to return the device to have the software “Flashed!!” whatever that means. I would like to try and do it myself . .

Rohit Langde - March 7, 2011

I don’t think ROOTING the phone will run that Google Street View app. Is that service available in your region?

Hi there,

Great stepped process for rooting, easier to follow than most others, well done. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. All steps complete fine until the “navigate to the second option reading “Apply Update.zip” and press Home key in middle bottom.” The update seems to start but then I get the error message as follows:

“E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(status 7)

Installation Aborted”

The phone can be rebooted and runs fine but it’s not rooted. My phone model GT-I9000T, firmware is 2.1 update 1 and Baseband version is I9000TDOJL1. Any idea what my problem might be?

Many thanks
Steve
