Credit goes to @SeyMedia for original aid, I just made this into a tutorial. Good Luck!:good:
root/recovery won't work that way for 4.4
as soon as you let the phone reboot into system after flashing custom recovery, it will get overwritten by original one; so after you turn the phone off and reboot manually then, don't be surprised to see stock recovery
After flashing custom recovery don't turn the phone on. Just return with 3combo to recovery and flash su. This is how worked for me
Regarding the rooting process:
- just untick F. Reset Time in Odin when you flash philz_touch_6.26.6-i9305.tar;
- when flashing is done, disconnect phone from pc and pull up the battery for a few seconds;
- put back the battery;
- enter in recovery mode (you will enter in Philz Touch);
- flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.
This will do the trick!

Why you use “philz_touch_6.26.6-i9305.tar” and not more new "philz_touch_6.48.4-i9305.tar"?

Do you have to use a custom recovery to root kk 4.4.4 or can I just use CF-auto root and triangle away with the stock recovery?

Thanks in advance!

That simply will not work on a un-rooted phone. The stock / original recovery has very limited functionality.
Well, it's easy. Just follow this way:
1. Download the attachments to this post. (tass-recovery.cwm is the recovery, the other .rar has odin and tass.ops)
2. Put upd_1.zip on the root (On top, not in a folder) of your SD-card.
3. Boot into recovery. (When phone is powered off: Home-button + power) (Now you'll root your phone.
4. Use the volume buttons to highlight 'apply update from sdcard', then press home to select.
5. Use volume buttons to highlight 'upd_1.zip', then select with the home button.
6. Press home button to 'reboot system now'. Your phone is now rooted.
7. Power down your phone.
8. Enter download mode by pressing 'Volume down + Home button + power button.
9. Connect through USB to your PC.
10. Launch ODIN v4.38.
11. Wait for Odin to recognize your phone. (At the left, there will be a yellow box that says COM "?", the number can be different.)
12. Select Tass_v1.0.ops by pressing the 'OPS-button'
13. Make sure 'One package' is marked at the left of the window.
14. Select tass-recovery-cwm.tar with the 'One Package-button' at the bottom of your window.
15. Press start, wait 'till your phone reboots. Now you'll have ClockWorkMod-recovery installed.
then you're ready to flash any custom roms
via Public Phone ^-^
I tryed this guide to root the phone [Galaxy s I9000]
androidgalaxys.net/guide-modding-galaxy-s/guida-root-sicuro-galaxy-s-gingerbread/
It seem working but it restart continusly.
What can be the problem?
Here's the screenshot of ODIN process.

Do the following and after that root your phone using cf root xxjw4 kernel from Odin. Check in cf root for galaxy gti9000 thread .
gcuchiha said:
Maybe its a bootloop maybe.Switch off your phone and check if download and recovery mode is available(see next paragraph)
If so follow the steps mentioned.
First of all download xxjw4 firmware for galaxy gt-I9000 from
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/150483619/708026d/I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip.html
1) Put your phone into Recovery mode (Vol up + Home + Power button) and perform a Wipe data/Factory reset, then a Wipe cache. When done pull the battery out for around ten seconds then re-insert.
(If recovery isn't working ignore this step)
2) Put the phone into Download mode (Vol down + Home + Power button)
3) Unzip the JW4 firmware folder you've downloaded to your Desktop.
4) Launch Odin and click on the button that says PDA and navigate to the PDA file you've just unzipped to your desktop and select it.
5) Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin will say Added and a box will turn yellow to indicate it has recognised your phone.
6) Click the start button in Odin and sit back and wait for Odin to flash your phone. When it's finished it will take a few minutes longer for the phone to reboot than is usual so please don't panic. The phone will reboot.
7) When the phone has rebooted, remove the USB cable and you now have the latest 2.3.6. It might be a good idea to repeat step 1 to make sure nothing of the old firmware is left behind.
And that's it, seven steps to 2.3.6 JW4 Value Pack and TouchWiz 4.

First of all I feel your pain. If your issue hasn't been solved by the above post I would recommend these two step by step guides to fixing your issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
I have personally used the above process without a problem, best of all it includes all the files you need to not only get back to stock but also to then get you back to ICS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050 This process I haven't used but a cursory search pulled it up. The first link is better and I can vouch for it but variety is the spice of life..
Hope this helps.
hi , i did the data/ffactory reset but now it just turns on, where the S appears and then it comes out the t mobile ad and just come out a black screen and the home key buttons remain on wat can i do to fixed it
So this morning I was using my phone as normal when it froze. Then I rebooted and it just stays bootlooping. I'm using a recent nightly of CM9 and I can't enter recovery mode to reflash the phone. How do I install CM9 using Odin? Is there any other software for that? I can enter download mode just fine.

Hello abdurm, could you tell us your current firmware? You would require to give us details from Settings > About phone.
Also, did you try flashing anything? If so, what was it?
By pressing the Volume Down button + Home button + Power button simultaneously, does your device enter Download mode?

It dosen give me enough time to check firmware version, it reboots. It is on ICS. It is stock and I have not tried fashing or anything.
Yes it goes in download mode by pressing Volume Down button + Home button + Power button simultaneously.
Flash gingerbread rom in PC ODIN only and it will automatically reboot by itself but if still stuck in samsung logo go to recovery mode and wipe data and cache.

Apologies abdurm, I foolishly presumed you would have made a note of your device's firmware details at some point in the past. It was stupid of me to ask you for the said information.

1] Download the pre-rooted stock Gingerbread firmware, SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip and extract it to get the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar file.
2] After doing so, run PC ODIN, select the PDA tab in it and point to the extracted file (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar). Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time will be selected by default. Do not select anything else.
3] Put your device in Download Mode and then connect it to your PC via the USB cable. The ID:COM label in PC ODIN will turn yellow indicating your device is connected and recognised.
4] Click on the Start button in PC ODIN and wait for the label above ID:COM to say Pass. After it does so, disconnect your device from your PC.
Your device will reboot and you will be on a stock Gingerbread firmware with root privilege.

Hello again abdurm, I am glad to learn your device is up and running again. :highfive:
Now that you are on a rooted firmware, I would advice you not to avail an OTA update as there is a very high likelihood of it breaking/undoing the root privilege.
Personally, I have not ventured into Ice Cream Sandwich yet and thus I have no right to guide you with the process of acquiring it. But, based on your quoted post may I ask you if you desire to have stock Ice Cream Sandwich with or without root privilege?
I recommend you thoroughly read dr.ketan's threads which explain the subject at hand.
