My Galaxy S was On 2.1 with root and lagfix. im now on froyo running as it comes, wanna root and lag fix, oclf wont root it need another way of doing it. any help?
try universal lagfix kernel, it has root and all you need included.
yeah, there is this wild thing search. look in it for cfroot
If you don't want to try experimental kernels like the one mentioned above, then search for ChainFire's root kernel.
It's tried, tested and stable

As the title says ive installed official jp6 via kies (norwegian official).
Tried to install oclf lagfix , since i think the jp6 aint smooth enough without.
Oclf didn work for me atleast, all the buttons is red.
So is there any other lagfix for jp6 out there yet, like voodoo or something else?
You must root it before.
What is the easiest method for rooting this official Froyo ? RyanZA's One Click Lag fix APK should be great and easy to use but it does not support VooDoo but OneClick Lagfix and most of the people say that VooDoo is better. So please can someone give us .apk which could root and install VooDoo lag fix on official Froyo when new VooDoo is out ? Like .apk and if it is not possible then as update.zip all in one solution. I really think that some "update.zip" file which roots and installs VooDoo lagfix at once would be great fot all of us.
Tnx

I used Chainfire's fix:

Not exactly one-click, but not that hard either.

this worked fine for me, then oclf worked once i removed the cable and rebooted the phone
Hey im just about to root my galaxy s so I can apply a lagfix and just want to clarify im doing the best thing
I am on version 2.2 froyo JP3
I'm going to be using super one click root and oclf
Is that the best option for me to root and lagfix??
I personally prefer z4root (check the dev section). It's run as an app on your phone vs connecting your phone to your PC and running the desktop app. Unfortunately, z4root doesn't seem to work on all firmware versions while super one click appears to cover them all. You'll have to check if it works on yours.
An easier solution might be to simply flash a custom kernel that includes root and a lag fix. There's a ton of them in the dev forum. I've personally run SpeedMod and it includes what you're looking for.
Good luck.
Hi,
I'v had a look for this in the forum but not found any infomation on this.
Has any one been able to root the new JPY update that take the Samsung galaxy to Froyo 2.2.1?
If you how did you do?
Dude it takes a few seconds to use the search function: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Also SuperOneClick works just fine.
i rooted my phone using z4root

You have 2 options:
1) SuperOneClick has worked for me on 2.2.1 where others have failed. It's a desktop app you install.

2) Flash a custom ROM that's already rooted. The advantage to this is it also includes a fix for 3e recovery that will let you flash update.zip files from your phone (required for some apps). There's a few kernels out there that do this and everyone has their preference. I personally use SpeedMod. Check the developers page for instructions, downloadable file, tutorial, etc. This is the option that I personally would do.

or just flash a custom kernel ie chainfire cf kernel.
how can you root using z4 on 2.2.1 when you cant even install the app? after updated to 2.2.1... the z4 root is useless even if its downloaded straight from xda and transfer to the phone.
Just updated via Odin to 2.3.3, love it, now want root back.
Don't want to mess with kernels, want something like superoneclick or z4, anything in the pipeline or already out?
TIA

3.1 just done, *many* thanks
Hi all,
I have a notification from AT&T that I can now update my Froyo Captivate to Gingerbread.
I am currently rooted (Even if rooted, I am not using any custom roms.. and I don't seem to need any.. I am happy with what has come with Cappy. I rooted it just to sideload the apps as it comes disabled in Froyo by default)
My question is: If I use the Kies and update my Cappy to gingerbread, will I be able to sideload the apps as I do it now?
As I am rooted, will it create any problem updating it to gingerbread using Kies?
I just updated to gingerbread yesterday using kies mini, and after I did the "Allow Installation from non-Market Sources" was visible. I think thats all you need for sideloading. You will lose the Root, but like you said you don't need it.
I'm not sure if beeing rooted will affect kies, I was on a custom rom so I used a oneclick back to stock and then kies
thanks t-roth for the response. How is your experience with new stock GB?
Does anyone knows if I am rooted, I can directly go to the Stock Captivate GB using the Kies Mini

If your rooted phone can connect to Kies, you can install the update.
Thanks Bruce. I will try that out..
Probably the last question. Am I going to see huge performance change moving from Froyo to GB?
I was rooted and Kies had no issue with my phone being so. It left me root-less after the fact, and I felt naked. The number one reason you SHOULD want to be rooted is to get rid of the freaking still-born garbage AT&T thinks we should endorse and like. As far as actual side-loading...I was unable to get the Sideload Wonder Machine to work. But I didn't sweat it because I quickly sought Root. Some of the more powerful utilities require root, but for the casual user, you probably won't want to be messing about in system folders anyway.
You say you "quickly sought root", but did you find it. I tried the 2.3.5 upgrade and as noted it left me able to load non-market apps ok but I was root-less. I haven't been able to root the KK4 upgrade and since I live and die with my Root Explorer and TI Backup I NEED the root. Z4 Root wouldn't work and neither would any of the 3 versions of Super 1-Click that I have (1.6.5, 2.1.1 & 2.3.1). If you were successful, what did you use?
I think it depends on how you enabled the side loading of apps. I'm not on the official gingerbread but that's what I think.

use the newest version of super 1 click root.. duh.
or look up the fugu mod root method. odin flash fugu root kernel, let it bootloop once, then odin flash your stock kernel again... or a cwm based kernel for your android version (kk4)
