How to get Root on Samsung i5700 [EN] (02/10 - v.LK10)

[LeshaK]

WARNING: THIS METHOD CAN BE DANGEROUSE. DO NOTHING IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU DO.
I CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU TRANSFORM YOUR SPICA LIKE A BRICK

This is only kernel!!! Not full ROM!!!
Testing on official firmware XEIJ4, XEIK3, XEIL3, XEIL5!!!

and Samsung for cool i5700

Support tools
1. Samsung Flasher + spica.ops: Odin_v4.03.zip
2. Drivers for Samsung i5700: dvr5700.zip

Ok, now how to flash
1. Download kernel for Spica: i5700-PDA_zImage-LK10.rar, unpack
2. Unpack Odin and we get two files: Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.03.exe и spica.ops
3. Put i5700-PDA_zImage-LK10.tar in Odin folder (but don't unpack it!)
4. Switch off Spica and Press volume_down+camera+switch_on
5. Connect to PC and install drivers
6. Run Odin
7. Odin must detect phone
8. Select as OPS file - spica.ops
9. Select as PDA file - i5700-PDA_zImage-LK10.tar
10. Select Reboot и Protect OPS
11. Click Start
12. Phone will flash and reboot
13. Download update-LK10.zip
14. Put archive to SD card (adb or mount SD to PC)
15. Turn off i5700
16. Press volume_down+call+end_call to enter to Recovery
17. Use keys Up/Down and OK - select "Apply any zip from SD"
18. Select update-LK10.zip and press ok
19. Press 'Home' to confirm
20. After "Install from sdcard complete" select 'Reboot' or press Home+Back

ок, now you have:
1. root (via 'su' + Superuser!!!, if you don't want Superuser read next part)
2. Preinstall WiFi tether APK for Spica i5700
3. New Recovery 0.3.2:
- Update (for install new update.zip)
- Backup you phone (/system & /data) to SDCARD (backup files you can find on /sdcard/samdroid.
- Restore - use Odin + tar file from /sdcard/samdroid folder as PDA (sorry, but we must use Odin)
- Wipe (/data & /cache)
4. Openvpn + libs (tun load by kernel on boot) only install tunnel droid from Market
5. Support droidwall - your personal firewall on Android, DroidWall for Samsung Spica i5700 (from Market it works uncorrectly)

Now su works through Superuser!

If you don't want su+Superuser -> Remove it
1. Download: upd-remove-Superuser.zip
2. Put archive to SD card (adb or mount SD to PC)
3. Turn off i5700
4. Press volume_down+call+end_call to enter to Recovery
5. Use keys Up/Down and OK - select "Apply any zip from SD"
6. Select upd-remove-Superuser.zip and press ok
7. Press 'Home' to confirm
8. After "Install from sdcard complete" select 'Reboot' or press Home+Back

Could you run any terminal program and enter

dd if=/dev/bml4 of=/sdcard/bml4

and send me or attach here bml4 файл (~5M)

and if you can share about 150MB, then

dd if=/dev/bml5 of=/sdcard/bml5

thanks
