Root Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 With LeshaK’s Kernel
As promised, I am back with a complete, step-by-step guide to rooting Samsung’s Galaxy Spica/Lite/Portal i5700 Android handset, using LeshaK’s Kernel Spica v.LK2.02. Not only is this root easy without any complex commands, but also it brings nicety such as full root, su+Superuser, support for ext2, ext3 and ext4 SD card partitions, recovery mode, etc.
A few things before I begin with the walkthrough. First, the whole credit for this guide, the kernel used and everything else goes to LeshaK, the administrator of Samdroid forum. I have just simplified his guide for average users, since most of the forum is in Russian. Second, this guide assumes that your device is running on firmware 2.1, any version above JC3, and you know how to use Odin. If you want to know how to upgrade your firmware, check out our 2.1 update guide for Spica.
Third, this guide also assumes that your Samsung Android drivers (USB modem and Composite device) are properly installed, and that you have Android Debug Bridge (adb) properly configured. If not, check our the 2.1 update guide for drivers, and tutorial for setting up adb.
Please remember that any modifications to your firmware are potentially dangerous, and while they reward greatly, you must proceed at your own risk. If you don’t know what you are doing, it is advisable to avoid rather than having a bricked device. You have been warned!
This process will not delete any of your files or settings, both in SD card and internal memory.
Without further ado, here’s how to gain root and flash LeshaK’s kernel 2.02.
To begin with, download these two files.
- (https://www.addictivetips.com/app/uploads/android/samsung/galaxy-spica/LK2-02-1_update.zip) LK2-02-1_update.zip
- (https://www.addictivetips.com/app/uploads/android/samsung/galaxy-spica/i5700_LK2-02_PDA.zip) i5700_LK2-02_PDA.zip
Also download the Odin Multiloader for Android here if you don’t have it already. You need the spica_jc3.ops file for this guide, which we have bundled with Odin.
Mount your SD card, and place LK2-02-1_update.zip in the root of SD card (it should be inside the root folder of the card, not any subfolder). See the screenshot below.
Unmount the SD card in Windows, turn phone off and remove your SIM card just to be safe. Let the SD card remain inserted, and put the device in Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Camera + Call End keys. The phone screen should look like this:
Your phone should not be connected with the PC at this time via USB cable. Run Odin as administrator, and load the extracted i5700_LK2-02_PDA.tar file as PDA in Odin. Load spica_jc3.ops as the OPS file. You may need to click Reset Files once before Odin will clear previous settings. Make sure your selections match the screenshot below.
With your device in Download Mode, attach it to the PC via USB cable. The message box will now show the Added and Detected message, as shown above. If all is set and handset has been detected, click the Start button to begin flashing the new kernel to the device.
Wait for the flash to finish until the following screen appears. The device will reboot during this time and enter recovery mode.
To be safe, wait for the process to finish entirely, which shall be indicated by a ‘PASS’ replacing the ‘RESET’ message.
Meanwhile, your phone’s screen will be showing the following image.
Use the D-pad to move up and down between options. Select ‘Apply any zip from SD’ and press OK button. The next screen will show all the zip files present in the root of your SD card. Select the one indicated in the screenshot below, and press OK.
You will be asked for confirmation to install the update. Press the Home button to confirm.
The update will install, delete some files, copy some more, and after about a minute you will see the following screen.
Reboot the device by either clicking OK on Root system now, or press the Home + Back keys together. The device will reboot once more and that’s it: you have successfully rooted your Spica. Go to Settings > About Phone on your device and scroll down to verify the new kernel.
You may also run the adb command to verify su status, indicated by the command prompt showing ‘#’ instead of ‘$’ when you access the shell.
With LeshaK’s Kernel 2.02, you get the following advantages (as mentioned on the Samdroid forum)
1. Fully rebuilds Spica Linux Kernel from Samsung sources, plus:
– full root in adb (you can use cp etc, not only cat)
– root – su+Superuser
– add Netfilter/iptables (Walldroid, Wifi Tether)
– support ext2/ext3/ext4
– cifs (smb – support windows network shares)
– squashfs (for recovery utils)
2. Recovery
– apply update.zip files (android install/update system)
– samdroid backup – create .tar file (system + data), restore via Odin
– wipe (data, cache, dalvik-cache)
– you can repartition your SD card on 2 partitions FAT32 + ext2
3. Apps2sd based on CyanogenMod apps2sd
– move applications from internal memory to SD card with two partitions (FAT32 + ext2/3/4)
Soon I will come up with a guide on configuring and using apps2sd on Spica. Meanwhile, happy rooting and good luck. Please use this process with care, we are not responsible for bricked devices. Feedback, questions and general comments are greatly appreciated.

Thinks that I tried to get rid of the connection problem.
– Make sure Kies is not running. In the task manager kill Kies and Kies tray agent
– For the samsung “Downloading…” screen make sure phone is not connected to usb
– Before running Odin, make sure phone is not connected.
– Ran Odin as administrator and in Window XP SP2 compatibility mode. I was on Win7 64 bit
– Connected phone after started odin. check if it detects the phone or not. Also check In device manager that both samsung drivers are shown.
– Now start the upgrade and it will work 🙂

Hi guys, I have Samsung Galaxy Spica (Phone: i5700XXIK1). I flashed it 6 months ago with firmware JE1 to android 2.1. Can I do this root with my phone ? With wich firmware ? Thanks.
Works like a charm! Thanx for this explendid guide.

Great post. Just was been able to install the staff. Initially I was also stuck at “setup connection…”. The only thing I needed to do was restart the process once more. That is close odin. Remove the phone from usb. restart the phone once. And then again restart it in download mode. etc. etc. And the thing just worked. Now I have rooted the phone successfully. Also the phone feels much faster now. Thanks a lot for the great post.

@pedro….press start button instead of reset
If downloading bar does not start to fill after pressing the START button in odin(at least a minute) …..try getting battery out and restart the process.
HI,
I’m doing all the steps as they are mentioned but when I get to the Odin step, I execute Odin as admin. (OK!), I load OPS (OK!), I load PDA (i5700_LK2-02_PDA.tar) (ok) but when I press RESET the PDA field is cleared again and in the space where it was to be the 1 (COM 5) in yellow, nothing!!!
What am I doing wrong???
Thanks.

Hi
can someone help me? i cant connect my phone in download mode to PC. I try it in another PC but it doesnt connect.
Mobile phone info:
firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: i570EXXJC1

HELP, I THINK I BRICKED MY PHONE WHEN THE PHONE IS STARTING UP IT COMES SOME SAMDROID.NET SHIT, IT LOADS, THEN ITS JUST THE SAME SCREEN ALL THE TIME!
If I were to not want this anymore how would I be able to get rid of it? Would i just go on the SD card and remove the .zip file?
No, the file copied to the SD card is used for installation. Once installed, removing that file won’t remove the installation. You will have to find another kernel like the stock kernel and install that to get the device back to the way it was.
Nothing to do for this, just go in samsung Authorized service center and asked him about your problem they shawl your problem within a minute. Trust me. Thnx
having the phone as this image I have it in version 2.2 of android?

Please share with me how to solve this case.
Thanks
Thank you so much for this step by step guide in rooting spica. The images helped a lot for newbies like me, specially those who are not that so tech savvy (both in the android and PC programs). I followed every step to the letter including the steps needed (adb and the samsung android), and voila – I have a rooted spica as of last night.
I will await your promise: “…Soon I will come up with a guide on configuring and using apps2sd on Spica…”
Again, thanks for helping this newbie.
how can u do the 1st step i dont know how to put it my sd root… how can i find my sd root? tnx
why is the odin multidownloader still setting up the connection with the phone?! 5Mins has pass and its still the same!any idea what is wrong?
How do you proceed with this guide if your Spica already has 2.1?
hi, i followed the steps and all seemed to work fine until after it reset it doesn’t get past the samdroid loading page. Is it bricked? what should i do?
There is nothing to worry. Just boot into recovery and do a factory reset, ie, wipe cache and data.
Hi Please help.
My Spica firmware version is i570EDDJC5
I have rooted my spica successfully using LeshaK’s kernel 2.02 from using this guide
But I don’t see any SamdroidTools icon in app drawer. There is only Superuser Whitelist icon in app drawer.
1. How to get SamdroidTools icon?
2. where to get update.zip file which is used in Recovery? Because when i try to download it from Recovery I get nothing.
3. Also when I install Live wallpapers and go to Home screen and browse wallpapers list I don’t find Live wallpapers there in the list?
Now My spica’s firmware is:
Baseband version : i570EDDJC5
Kernel version : 2.6.29 leshak@i5700-dev7 #65
Build number : Leshak’s Kernel v.LK2.01.1
Please help its urgent because my phone is running out of internal memory, apps2sd is required. Also I need Live wallpapers.
I have Firmware version- 2.1
Baseband Version- i570EDDJC5
can i follow your guide for my baseband version and please tell me which baseband version is latest and suitable for root by leshak and where did i find it……
What a wonderful and excellent tutorial. I made it easily with your brilliant guide. Just a litte bit problem after rooted, many of my previous applications which was working well now are forced close. Even some small aplication like k9 or launcher. Could you please help me why and how to fix it? Or should I unroot it? But how?
Thanks.
I am not able to connect my Galxy spica android 1.5 to my laptop.

hey! i’ll install that lesha’s kernel and do I need format the sd card as fat32 & ext2 for use app2sd?

Everybody can update,no mater which firmware you have.For apps2sd go into menu-samdroid tools-apps2sd setting and enable apps2sd (you can enable dalvik too).Apps will be moved to sd after some time…

Hi,
I have Spica with Leshak kernel:
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
leshak@i5700-dev7 #105
I am trying to get my phone unlocked (removing NUC lock)
But, vendor said due to phone being with diff kernel he is not able to get it done.
Ques:
1. As i have Super User access, can i do it myself and how?
2. If not, then can i get the original kernel back and how?
any suggestions or pointers are appreciated.
Cheers,
Tarun
thanks, worked as a charm even on Windows7 x64!

Guide is awesome. My Baseband Version is i570EDDJC5 and Firmware Version is 2.1-update1. Can I root my device? I have updated my Spica 1.5 to 2.1 from Samsung service center. Also, will this enable me to use my sd card to install the apps? Because that will be awesome! Thanks!
Also, will this void my warranty? 😮
hello, I just wanted to ask that if I root my phone, and later a newer firmware will be released, that I want to upgrade, then I have to do the rooting again? Thanks for your help in advance.

Any news about the guide on configuring and using apps2sd on Spica yet?
Since I am an app addict, the Spica is getting out of memory soon 🙂
hi have baseband version :i570EXXJC1 should i use this guide for my phone ?
Hi,
Great guide but i’m having a problem. I’m running JD4 and when i choose the LK2.02.1.update.zip on start-up the phone displays this message: e:can’t find update script – aborted.
How can I resolve this? I had to flash the old PDA back to get the phone working again.
i rooted my i5700. nw hw can i how to put livewallpapers on it plz help………
just install samdriod kitchen mod from samdriod forums.Apply it to ur SD card as u applied the LK2.01.1(Apply any zip from sd).System recovery mode can be started by pressing the volume down+call initiating+call ending or power on-off buttons.and get the full use of live wallpaper,helixlauncher,3D galary and much more……Dont forget to click wipe data-catche option first …than click to create partition of u r choice ,and than apply any zip from sd( samdriod mod )…..reboot by pressing ok….

Amazing guide.I read many tutorials but was hesitant 2 root.
Your tutorial was so simple that i did it without any1’s help.
Thanks a lot & keep it coming 🙂
Hi and thank you for this great tutorial, clear and concise.
I am new to rooting and are wondering if there is a way to “unroot”, getting the phone back to original shape so to speak.
Tutorial or link to info is much appreciated 🙂
I did root as well, Thanks! s there a way to un-root?
Just rooted my Galaxy Spica with your instructions.
It worked like a charm.
The guide was clear and to the point.
Can u tell me how I can install LiveWallpapers and Apps2SD now?
Thanks!
Instructions were very clear and easy to follow.
Just completed successfully rooting my Spica.
Will eagerly await your next tutorial.
Good job and more power !
Hey i flashed to the latest firmware JD1..n everything you told worked like a charm.
thanks..
but what is the real use of rooting?
tell us about apps2sd soon..
n can you also tell how to put livewallpapers..?
oops, I just noticed that you have already upgraded and rooted. congratulations!
The main purpose of rooting is to gain full access to your device’s operating system. Since Android is based on Linux, a root level access means you can change whatever you like in the file system, for example, removing unwanted system-default applications like Myspace.apk, using things like Apps2SD, Live Wallpapers, install custom mods etc.
As for Apps2SD, the guide is coming very soon. Basically, LeshaK’s kernel already has apps2sd built in, all it needs is to be enabled. It’s the ‘how to’ that needs some elaboration, and you will get that in the guide.
Personally, with the Froyo announcement, I am pretty excited and hoping samsung will bring it to the Spica. You won’t even be needing apps2sd after that, although rooting would still remain a cool option 🙂
thanks for reading

I have Firmware version- 2.1
Baseband Version- i570EDDJB2
can i follow your guide for my baseband version.
This guide is for firmware versions JC3 and above. Since you have JB2 yet, I would advise to first upgrade to a newer firmware version (you can follow my guide here https://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-upgrade-update-samsung-galaxy-i5700-1-5-to-firmware-2-1/
after that, you can root using this kernel
What happens if I get my device bricked? Is there a way to get it back to normal?
Is this applicable for official release of Eclair 2.1?
My spec is
Baseband: i570EDXJC2
Kernel: 2.6.29 chad.lee@SE-S604 #2
Build no: ECLAIR.DXJC4
Location: Singapore (Starhub for APN)
Thanks for the help,
