Rooting and Unrooting

Layman's guide to rooting your I9000.
  • If you are on 2.1, download this file. File name: 2_1_root_update.zip File size: 1.20 MB Put it on the root of your internal SD (that means not inside any folders), enter recovery mode and choose "install update.zip".
  • If you are on 2.2, download z4root. It is no longer available on the market. For some reason RyanZA has decided to pull it. But you can still download it [here].
  • If you are on 2.2.1, get Super One Click. [LINK]
  • If you are on 2.3 or above, well.... if you are already flashing beta roms, you should already know how to do this. :D

2.1 update link does not work,,,any help?
