#15 Root system and then what ?

Some people say that you don't need to root the phone if you don't want to remove any apps from the phone's memory, but the truth is that that's only one of the many reasons.

First of all check below how you can take root privileges.

The complete guide can be found here.

Briefly you have to :

1. Download the update.zip file and copy it to the phone memory, the 8gb area which is located on /sdcard/, you can just connect the phone to the computer and via usb kies mode, then copy the files within the explorer path MyComputer - GT-i9000 - Phone.

2. Then switch off the phone

3. Press volume up + home button + power (tip: release the power button for half a second when you see the samsung logo)

4. Phone will reboot into recovery mode, wait until you see the Recovery Screen and then release the buttons

5. With the volume down key go to the option: "apply: /sdcard/update.zip"

6. Press the home button and phone will start updating

7. Phone reboots and phone is rooted

Now there are many things you would like to install such as :

- Titanium Backup

- Adfree

- CacheCleaner

- RebootWidget

- SetCPU

and many more useful programs that require root privileges :)

#14 Firmware upgrade/downgrade !!

Use this link in order to upgrade/downgrade your phone.

I used this to go from the default rom to v2.2 jp3 and then back again to v2.1 g5.

Kies need to be installed on computer so that proper samsung drivers are installed.
