Hi all,
my problem is that Z4Root doesn't work any more. It seems to work... reboot the phone... and nothing change.
This happen after I've unrooted the phone and a friend of mine applied the root procedure from OCLF.
I wiped all more than one time but Z4Root and SuperOneClick also doesn't work.
Any idea to solve this? If I flash an Eclair official ROM I'll be able to update it to Froyo via Kies?
Thanks in advance.

My phone just died this morning . I was running froyo 2.2 for about a week. Never rooted , no lag fix. Good thing I had a Extended warranty with Futureshop.. Got another one right away. I know Samsung pulled the update from it's site (kies). Is there any other way to install it again without rooting my phone. If my phone dies again I'll just get another one. Thanks
wish i had that extended warranty.
odin will work without root. just grab the rom off of samfirmware
Thanks I'll try that. Hope they fix the problem soon. Samsung don't seem to know how to fix it. Great phone bad service...

Hi you whizzkids,
I tried to get my SGS rooted with z4Root.
Went well the first time. After some time my SGS said "memopry full""
What i did? Back to factory settings (was that a mistake?)
For some reason i am now unrooted and i can't get it back on, z4Root will not finish
My SGS is JPP and FROYO 2.2.1 is installed.
Someone with an idee would be great.
Thanks in advance

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you cannot use z4Root with 2.2.1
you need to use either CF root or Super Once Click root.
I tried to update to Froyo 2.2 on my girls captivate followed the instructions correctly. Kies Mini said it updated fine and got to the restart screen but it's just black and keeps buzzing every 30 seconds. What's going on? Need some help.
Sound like a bad flash. Retry.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.
I would odin one click then install cognition it is froyo but way better... Also if ever have warranty issues just odin one click

You have 2 options..
Bad flash through Kies happen all the time and you waranty covers it.
But try flashing again before you do it.
Thansk for the replays everyone. I ened up taking the battery out for about 5 min and it tured on fine, everything seem to be working fine. I check the firmware version and it's at 2.2. I897UCKB1
So I accidently bricked a build #1010 phone using oneclick to revert to stock, not realizing it wasn't compatible. I found this today on XDA:

My phone currently is build 1009, got it through a warranty exchange, came with froyo pre-installed. Is it compatible or will I brick trying to run? I am also aware of the recovery and the "unsigned packages" thing...do I need to change the recovery first before I run? Thanks
You would brick if you went to 2.1, but that is totally compatible! Have fun and. After flashing that go look for. Stock KH3 and you have to flash KF1 then KH3. Just a min I will link you to everything.

Thanks for the quick response! Yes my previous phone was build #1008 and I ran oneclick several times on it with no issues. My wife made a warrenty claim on hers, and I thought i'd be nice and install cog on it, and I couldn't get the recovery to work so without even thinking about it I ran one-click on it, and I bricked it. Honestly I had no idea what build number my phone was back then, but after the brick I found out her new warranty exchanged phone was build #1010
Ever since I've been deathly afraid of running anything with bootloaders. When my speaker died on my original captivate I didn't run one-click, instead i used Odin3 and found a CWM flashable eclair rom, and ran that instead, and then used kies mini to go to froyo. I've had my newer captivate since July, and been running stock since, getting sick of all the issues it has, none of which i noticed in cognition. I actually logged on to get Froyo Cognition, but the links are all broke to it, so I figure I might as well try gingerbread out.
I'm on KH3 stock right now and its great! And it's the GB bootloaders that fix the 3button fix, no need for eclair bootloaders since they are backwards compatible!

Wait you hard bricked? with 2.1 stock 1 click? Ive heard of bootloops but never hard bricked.
He soft bricked probably, not lowly to hard brick on a 2.1 flash unless he did the3 button combo fix

Well I'm pretty sure it was hardbricked. It wouldn't do anything, no 3 button, no trick anyone suggested to try, it just stayed black and unresponsive. I don't have a jig but that was about the only thing I hadn't tried... So I gave up and made an insurance claim. And to be honest I haven't put a custom rom on since

Did anything happend if you pressed power? If it didn't then Odin might have failed while flashing a bootloader....
Nope nothing. Basically half way through it just stopped responding and i eventually gave up and unplugged. It wouldn't do anything. It happened to a friend of mine too but luckily for him when he pushed the power button he got the warning sign on the screen. My phone was completely dead and wouldn't respond at all

all you have to do use the odin one click to go back to stock which is jf6 then use odin 3 and you can goto kh3. no other flashes are needed. ive done it this way 10 times and no bricks.
