could somone help me out with these questions.
1) i have a 3g samsung galaxy 2.1 rooted, do i need to unroot it before i update to froyo? if i update it to froyo without unrooting it will it mess the phone up?
2) also if i update it, will all my apps stay or will they disappear and need to be reinstalled again?
3) lastly does the official samsung galaxy froyo update fix the lag issues?
thanks to anyone who can answer these questions, can't seem to find the answers on the thread.

1) I think you can update without removing the root but just to be safe I'd remove it.
2) If you update the official way (through Kies) you should keep all your apps
3) The lag is almost gone, it's certainly a lot more responsive than the Eclair releases but many people still use a lagfix anyway (I use OCLF v2.2+)
thanks guess i'll be doing an update soon

First of all I would post this in Q/A section. Second of all you need to use ODIN to get back to 2.1 stock before you flash cognition. Although I hope you know Cognition is NOT gingerbread it is froyo.
System version does not make any difference to flashing ROMs

You tried the one click root? It should be a simple process of downloading the correct update.zip and then flashing it through the recovery menu. Takes like 30 seconds. I don't think it matters what version of android you are on to root...

oh this is simple. go to development thread and you should find a bunch of choices of Kernels. They mostly have Odin for you to download, then u can use Odin to flash a custom Kernel over your stock one. Then go to recovery and go to the advance options and Root your phone fromt here. All new Kernels are pretty awesome cuz they will root your phone for you and insteall superuser + busybox.

here's the easiest way to root your SGS..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
just make sure you follow the instructions:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode
The easiest way to root+lagfix (especially if you're newer to this sort of stuff) is to install Voodoo.
It will automatically lag-fix your Galaxy S and then all you do is install "superuser" from the market and you've got root. Nice and simple.

Another option is to go to samfirmware.com and using ODIN instal I9000XWJS5. Full instructions are on site. The advantage of this is you get a good stable ROM, smoothness, fast, better battery life and there is no need for a lagfix - much safer.
Enjoy your SGS.
i downloaded z4root and get a little bit confuse of the temporary and permanent root can anyone explain me whats the difference thanks.

It means that your computer must have the correct drivers for you Galaxy S. You'll be connecting the phone to your computer, the computer needs drivers to recognize the phone.
Just install Samsung Kies, all the needed drivers will be installed as well.

Your best and easiest bet would probably be to install the Spedmod kernel, or a custom Tom. Realty all you have to do is go to the developement section.

Your device must be rooted to do that.
Please.. Don't just try anything without a thorough read. You might end up bricking your device.
First of all, I am not a fan of Lag fixes, some lag fix users had lost their internal memory because of it and if you use it you'll only have 600mb internal memory.
I suggest you to upgrade to a stock Froyo 2.2.1. It is faster than 2.2 and almost on par with LagFixed SGS. I'm currently using Froyo 2.2.1 XXJPY and it is very stable.

Currently all froyo 2.2.1 is only for Europe Galaxy S. I installed mine via Kies Registry Hack. You can also install it using Odin.

I'm sorry but the kies registry hacking is no longer working, Samsung already blocked the kies versions 1.5.3.10103.102 and lower. Here's the thread

Your only option now is to wait for the official release on your country or Flash 2.2.1 via Odin, remember to backup before doing it coz it'll erase all your data.

Yes you can, mine is also branded and unlocked plus with singtel BLOATWARE. when I upgraded to XXJPY which is an unbranded rom, all of the annoying bloatware is gone.
I Swyped this on my Galaxy S
I have search these forums for an answer to this, but cannot find a answer to this exqact question and don't want to start installing ROMs unless I really have to.
I rooted my UK uynbranded Tab using Z4 root a while back. I saw gingerbread is now available in my region so tried to update, but Kies is telling me an update is available but refusing to update my tab. I unrooted the Tab using Z4 root and tried again, but still without success.
Currently my version reports:2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1, build FROYO.XWJJ7, baseband P1000XXJK5
Do I really need to reflash to a stock ROM?
If I must, could someone please recommend a tutorial to help me, I see several guides but no idea which is the right one for my circumstances.
Thanks

Hi everyone,i got some questions about rooting a samsung galaxy tab gtp1000 running in 2.2 froyo android.
Does rooting a galaxy tab without flashing anything to it has risk of bricking it ?
Well I just want to uninstall old apps and install some apps required root access such as sixaxis controller support,droidwall,adblocker for browsers,new sywpe (mine has preinstalled sywpe and unable to upgrade to latest version).
Well iam not really sure what does rooting means.does rooting means example creating a adminstrator account and has access to everything ? without any risk except upgrading android version like 2.2 to 2.3 ?
Hope someone can answer my question
Thank you very much

You should be able to use SuperOneClickRoot if you're going to stay with froyo (2.2) and shouldn't have to worry too much about bricking anything (these devices are hard to brick in general worst you do is soft brick and have to go back to stock) Rooting is exactly like having adminstrator access. If you're thinking about going to 2.3.x you'll want to find a pre-rooted rom.
Hi again,thank you for your reply.i just rooted my galaxy tab today using superoneclick,at first the app crash for unknown reason.second it went not responding.but i tried it third time and waited awhile to finish installing files to my galaxy tab and i finally got the successfully rooted message.
By the way, my Galaxy Tab GT P1000 is now still running in Android 2.2 Froyo Rooted.can i just update the firmware to 2.3 gingerbread through official samsung kies program on pc ? Or i have to unroot my galaxy tab to update to official ginger bread 2.3 update ?
And just to let you know that i just deleted mine preinstalled swype and installed new swype beta.not sure if it's safe to install an official update.
Before i rooted my tab the samsung kies program found a new firmware update for my tab which has some long code and jpi something i can't remember it correctly,not really sure if it is gingerbread update
I just notice that when i open more than 2 apps some apps automatically closes itself.does anyone know what is causing it ?
Samsung kies kinda sucks since the usb connection kept disconnecting it's kinda hard to backup stuff.not to mention backup some small files takes ages too.
That's how I got started. First I rooted my tab, after seeing how easy that was I tried a new ROM. After seeing how easy that was, the next thing I know I've been through 3 different ROMs now.
Then I hear about the newest version 2.3.5, which is suppose to rock. So I decide to go back to stock, so I can have a clean flash of the newest version. That is where I made my mistake. I grabbed the wrong version (GSM instead of CDMA) and soft bricked my tab. After following some advice I got, I eventually hard bricked my tab.
RESEARCH! If you decide to try new ROMs research and read the thread fully and if you still not sure ask questions.
Well that is what i am doing now.trying to confirm if it's safe to do it and that.anyway i hope someone will answers my questions soon
Hi can someone help answer my questions at post 3
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.

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)
