Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
Rooting Instructions

• Modifying / replacing your phone's software may void the phone's warranty and may render phone to 'brick' status - meaning your phone will not be worth much more than a brick. 
• Rooting a phone is entirely at your own risk. No one affiliated with ROMWarez is responsible for your decision to root your phone.
• Unlocking the bootloader on most phones will automatically wipe all data.

• Always backup your current Apps/Data/SMS Messages before performing any type of rooting procedure. Find these backup apps on Google Play. If you have a Google account, then backing up your contacts is unnecessary as these are on Google servers.
