Did you have any lagfix installed by any chance? If yes, did you remove it before attempting to upgrade to Froyo?

[Q] Restoring 2e recovery on JP5

Hi. I Recently updated from JG4 to JP5 (stock Australian Optus) and rooted using z4root. I have also applied the voodoo lagfix for Froyo.
I am trying to get 2e recovery or CWM Recovery (2e necessary first?). I am looking at flashing CF-Root as described here but am wondering if this will cause problems with z4root/voodoo. I am also unsure what version to use as they list JPH, JPK, JPM and JP6 but no JP5.
Can anyone help me out with what steps I need to take to get 2e back?

did you ever do this or get working.. or figure which z4mod version to use?

Yes, I just used the JP6 version of CF-Root, which worked.

Hi,
First sorry for my bad english (FRANCE)
For Vinay92, so, did you really manage install CF root JP6 on a base of I9000XXJP5 to obtain recovery 2e?
In that case have you desintall Z4mod and Z4root to manage it.
In my case i have recovery3e on a JP5 with Z4mod and Z4 root and i didn't manage to backup my ROM JP5 with ROM MANAGER because of the recovery 3e (.zip not signed)
Thanks a lot for a response

[Q] How to undo froyo 2.2 upgrade

Hi everyone,
I have upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2 via Samsung Kies. I have used Ryan's Z4root to root it which was success. Everything was fine until here. When I tried to fix the lag using the update.zip, it failed saying 'file verification failed' (somthing of this sort). I chekced on different forums and found that there isn't any update.zip file to fix lag on 2.2 (am I right?).
If there is one, could someone point me in that direction. If there isn't, how can I undo 2.2 and rollback to 2.1 so that I can root it and fix the lag.
Please ask if you need any further details regarding my phone or the process I used to root and fix the lag.
Thanks in advance.

Superoneclick worked for me on 2.2 and 2.2.1 if you just need to root the phone.

Thanks for your reply but I have already rooted my 2.2. What I am looking is for a lag fix solution on my 2.2 or rolling back to 2.1 where there are loads of easy lag fix solutions.

head over to the android dev subforum, look for any of the lagfix kernels.
Alternatively use cf-root which will allow you to use 2e recovery and thereby apply your update.zip

Do you know which 2.2 firmware you flashed? Was it jk3 or jk4? This sounds like a recovery version issue and not all solutions support every version of firmware.

Ryan's Z4root to root
+ Ryans OCLF for lag fix works for me .

Any lagfix that can be installed as an app should be ok. You'll still be prevented from applying anything via the update.zip method until you resolve the recovery "issue".

My current 2.2 firmware is JP3. This is what is showing after I updated to 2.2 via Kies.

Yes!!!
Ryan's Root and OCLF worked for me aswell.
Rooting worked fine on the first go but lag fix resulted in a black screen on my galaxy. As I had an external SD card in my phone, I removed it out and ran the lag fix again. It worked this time!!!

[Q] Can't go back to stock rom (2.3.3)

I was using 2.2 froyo on i9000. Previously rooted with rageinthecage then one click lag fix. However because of carelessness I forgot to convert back to stock before running the kies update.
The kies update to 2.3.3 (JV5) was successful but the phone (of course) went into a bootloop. I figured out the problem only at that time. I then tried to flash Ficeto rom, which to my surprise, works. I understand that I can go to darky 10.1 anytime, but the problem is that I need Chinese input which is only available on JV5 (for 2.3.3).
I tried to flash JV5 on odin after disabling lagfix in the voodoo bootloader. However I encounted the following problem while formatting /dbdata:
:: E: format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
May I thus consult the fellow member on this forum:
1) Could I go back to earlier version of Darky (e.g. 9.2) using odin?
2) Could I install the JV5 by converting /dev/block/stl10... and How do I do that?
Thank you very much!

This happens because the DBDATA partition of your firmware is now corrupt. You need to flash XXXJPU or EZBase to fix the issue...

Thank you very much. I'll try that in the next week or something.
Is this the rom I should download for EZbase: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792 ?
I just flashed Darkyrom 10.1 and it worked so I think I'll leave it as is for today. Do you think that the 'resurrection edition' of Darkyrom would work?
Thanks

Yes, that's the EZBase thread... And it should clean everything up very well. Not too sure of Darky's...

[Q] get back to stock

Hi,
i have a sgs from optus australia with the following info:
Baseband: I9000DTJP3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #36
Build: FROYO.DTJP5
i flashed the speedmod kernel following instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
i wanted to flash cyanogenmod but it had a signature verification fail, which i now know is because of the recovery version. so i've given up on that and i just want to update the phone over kies to the stock gingerbread.
so, i'm pretty sure i can't just connect the phone to kies and try to update it because it has clockwordmod recovery?
so the question is how do i get back to stock kernel? i think I've downloaded the right firmware (from:http://www.multiupload.com/CH3Y5SAHE2), is it a matter of finding the kernel in that folder and just flashing that back on to the phone? is there going to be any issue with this?
thanks everyone

So I just went for it and updated the phone via kies. It worked with no real dramas.
So the next step in getting back to stock is to get rid of superuser, which I can't do now because the update took away root.
Is there a way to temp root the phone to remove superuser then get back to unrooted again?

Why not to flash with odin, with repartition and full wipe?
It will restore it ot factory settings.

Thank you for your reply, I read this a couple of days ago but I didn't really understand half of what you said lol
So I googled a lot but i'm no closer to understanding. I did a factory reset just from the settings menu but that didn't work. What does repartition do?

Repartition will effectively wipe your entire phone (it repartitions the phone's memory).
Odin is a program used to flash (install) firmwares, both custom and stock ones. Tutorials are everywhere, please search.

Cool thanks for that, I guess the problem I had with understanding is what am I flashing? The stock firmware? Because isn't that what kies just did (albeit without the repartition). Seems like a pain to find the stock firmware since I just got it from Samsung ota

It's either that or you root and then unroot (no idea how to do that one).
http://www.samfirmware.com/ has firmwares. If you flash a Froyo one (repartition checked), you could then update again via Kies. This will give you an absolute stock phone (including the loss of all your information via the repartitioning).

Have you tried going to the market finding the super user app and trying to click uninstall from there. Im guessing you tried the normal way...
