nope, i bought from lowyat.net too but for only rm15 total, cant remember which thread, just googled around

1) just update to 2.3.6/KJ2 if u still on the old firmware. update can be done with Kies or with Odin. No binary counter will be increased

2) using odin, flash either mygkernel or superatmos, no need for pit file, only kernel, flash as PDA

3) reboot and check superuser functionality.

4) turn off and get into CWM mode. vol up+ home+ on button

5) thats all, using CWM u can flash custom rom like juffo, so far only one custom rom for i9100G

step is just plug the usb jig during the phone turned off. and after it get into download mode, turn off and reboot.
but i am not sure if it will work for the new bootloader, but it will reset the yellow triangle for sure,only not the binary counter
*
May I confirm the steps..

1. Switch off the phone and take out SIM and SD card.
2. To enter download mode, hold down Volume Down button + OK button(home) simultaneously and THEN press the Power Button. Once you see the warning logo, IMMEDIATELY release all buttons and push ONLY the Volume UP button. You'll see "ODIN MODE" and the android logo.
3. Plug in the phone to your pc and let the new driver installation finish. (just wonder what driver going to install here?)
4. Then Click open the Odin.exe
5. Select Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time & PDA
6. Select the Kernel file
7. Wait till the indication lid on shows connection OK.
8. Click Start
9. No idea what i should right now ~ rclxub.gif

I m on 2.3.6 and successful root after 3 trials. This is what I do!
1. Download n install KIES on my pc.
2. Make sure setting/application/development unselect USB debugging.
3.Connect phone to pc n pc will install all driver n adb driver.
4. If you on 2.3.5 use KIES to update to 2.4.6.
5. Exit KIES n press alt+ctr+del and kill all advadb and kies processes.
6. Go setting/application/development select USB debuggging n unknown resource.
7. Connect phone to pc n run runme ver2. It may fail n stop at rebooting but it does nothing to phone.
8.Just disconnect phone n close the does command windows.
9. Go market n install superuser n busybox. You will realise superuser is successfully installed but busybox only install halfway.
10. Restart phone n pc. Make sure you kill all adb n kies process in task manager on pc.
11. Connect phone n rerun runme files. If it is successful yr phone will be rebooted.

kill all advadb ??

What i did was to try to make my phone memory full, so that the zergrush didn't have much memory to run, i am in 2.3.5.
Sorry if it took me 1 hour or more to give some feedback, but installing android market and google apps gave me hard time too hahaha !

did u check how much ram left before rooting?

[quote=creezalird,Dec 3 2011, 12:10 AM]no need to re-ran or whatsoever , one time run only
make sure the ram is showing 500mb/0.91gb in task manager. then ran script. all other precautions like killing kies app is implemented

currently backing up my rom using CWM, i flashed over superatmos kernel to get the CWM recovery using ktool

I just checked my ram usage, its 500mb above when i do nothing now.

nope, i never use any antivirus as i usually just being cautious with my surfing habits, and even it is not proven working after all

i've tested with fresh stock firmware, just add 2 gps apps, as usually gps apps use high RAM. other than that, i just ran everything and close with HOME button.

just try it, it wont kill u..LOLS

lols,
CWM : clockworkmod recovery, usually used to flash custom rom and also make backup rom, get from rooted kernel such as superatmos or mygkernel

ktool : a tool developed by Hellcat(maybe), used for flashing kernel and also for backup EFS, get from market

EFS : it is a folder where sensitive information like IMEI number are stored, a backup should be done to prevent if worse case somehow u lost the data

setcpu or no-frills cpu : get from market or xda, from xda u can get setcpu full version.
*
so can get EFS?

FasterFix is good for you too, its a GPS APP for rooted devices, can get in Market too. rclxms.gif

Glad you made it hermanchb, congratz !
It seems that i indeed was right on the ram ... That might be good signs for our future use of our phone, might means that it is more stable than previous versions, future will tell ...
I finished installing the google apps, following the adb push method, works well.
No google googles though, it is marked as incompatible for our model, and the apk itself refuse to install, i tried older versions that seems to work, but fail to connect, maybe in a near future google will unlock that app for the g version sad.gif
I didn't install any other things like recovery software or whatever, so apart from rooting and google apps, i have nothing else ...

I had an interesting information yesterday, when i bought my phone, i wanted the non g version, since it was written I9100 on the paper, i went to the shop, and the answer was quite straight, China has completely discontinued the non G version, and no stock available on regular market.
All in all, i think it's a good thing, the regions where this model has been deployed is quite large, a lot more than other exotic model, in my opinion, if you add the chinese market, with malaysian, indian, tunisian, the G model might have more owners than the regular non G version, which could mean good custom roms for ICS in a near future. Samsung just can't give up on those regions since it's the only model being distributed, they are likely forced to deploy ICS on it, and since i read that ICS will be ported on Galaxy 2 series, not only Galaxy 2, i feel rather confident.

Thanks for your experience sharing, finally I did it~ flex.gif

What are the Google apps u installed? anything special ?? ohmy.gif

Added on December 3, 2011, 8:45 pm

u are totally right with the steps, but please do your own rom backup first with CWM before flashing another rom

haha, i am currently jumping around, currently at my parents house in kelantan, sometimes at my sisters Semenyih or Gombak. My internet here sucks, but so long internet is present, more than enufff..lols

OK~! I will study the steps and learn how its work for me~ thumbup.gif
