Flash back to stock kernel or flash new stock rom.

Well Thanks,
But i don't have enough knowledge how to flash the kernel and moreover
my SGS doesn't have 3 Button Combo work..
Anyway since you are very helpful can i ask whether it safe or not to update to 2.2.1 or 2.3 when it will be available through Kies?
My phone running JPO 2.2 and recognize the kies..
Thanks in advanced..

[Q] 1 click root AND Unroot app or solution

anyone know of a guide or app that can root and also unroot the samsung galaxy s.
Simpler the better obviously, but if doing it the long way is somehow safer i don't mind that either.
Would prefer to keep my warranty intact, and also upgrade to froyo without promlems in future, so a undo option would help.
thanks
Just download ryanzas one click lag fix from market or somewhere on this forum. Its very simple to use, no pc required.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
but remember
the root in ryanzas one click lag fix can only effect in 2.1 system
it cannt make the froyo to be "root"
get root in 2.2(froyo) need to flash a modded update.zip

RyanZA's one click lag fix will root 2.1 without any problems. Go on to market and download the app. Then open the app and use the "Root 2.1" option. Reboot into recovery and apply the update.zip. Your phone is now rooted!
The current option to root FroYo is flashing a PDA in Odin:

does it also do the lagfix automatically?
i'd prefer not to do the lagfix, given there is some fear that it might be causing internal sd card failures.

has any one been able to root Froyo 2.2.1?

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
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.
http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/p/samsung-galaxy-s.html
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.

If you want Froyo then your only options are to flash back to stock and then use kies mini to get the update or flash a custom ROM based on the new release.

Att learned their lesson on the last OTA. The update is with Keis only

Can I flash back using one clicklag fix or Titanium Backup?
And, I download kies.
Titanium backup only backs up your apps and data.
One Click Lag Fix? -- is a.. lag fix.
Are you still on 2.1? Or are you on 2.2 right now?
one click had a button to unroot. 2.1. [How do I "flash back to stock"?]
This one [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY if you have the three button recovery.
This one I897UCJH7 - OTA System, Kernel, Modem - Clockwork Flashable - Rooted if you want to use CWM.
This one {Stock Rom} Odin JF6 with 3 button fix if you need the three button fix.
I installed official 2.2 via Kies right over rooted 2.1 with no issues. After the install, TiBu was still there, but would not work until I rooted 2.2. What I am saying is that, in my experience, flashing back to stock before updating via Kies was not necessary and by skipping that step all of my aps, SMS, and call logs migrated over seamlessly.

[Q] Rooted on KK9 - Can I safely OTA to KL7?

I apologize in advance if this has already been asked and answered, but I did search and couldn't find a definitive answer.
I have a "German" Note which came with 2.3.5 initially, I did one OTA update (to KK9) and it appears that luckily for me, I was still able to use the ZergRush exploit and root it and get the custom CWM, etc.
Now as I sit on KK9, I see that there is another OTA update available to me (KL7?) that clocks in at about 71MB.
With root, custom CWM, and CF-Root 5.0 at the moment, I don't want to lose that in an update.
So, is it safe to OTA or should I download something else and flash it via CWM? If so, what should I download and how should I flash it?
Thanks! Just don't want to brick or loose root.
-Rob
(From memory only
You can "safely" update: that is, some users have reported no problems but I've already read issues with backup managers not being able to unfreeze apps, boot loops, and keyboard/random apps crashing when you try to open them.
KL7 is a stunning update (my battery now lasts forever). I'm going to root later in the summer once everything becomes stable.

After update, you cant root it with zergrush exploit as previous. Better you download full rom, install mobile odin pro, n flash it with 'ever root' option. So will get root during flashing
Thank you!
How can I confirm that the update being offered via OTA from KK9 is indeed KL7? Is that the most appropriate and current update path to follow? I know there are many different builds for potentially different devices, and I just want to make sure I am on the right path, and am merely assuming at this point that KL7 is the next step for my Note.
Thanks again, your advice makes much sense, and with already being Root and having Mobile Odin Pro, this seems like a much more intelligent approach. I want my device to be rooted, but rock stock and absolutely stable otherwise.
Regards,
-Rob
I can only say 71MB is almost exactly what I remember the KL7 update being. Other than that, I don't know how you can check (alternatively, you could download the update from XDA, apply it, then check for OTAs to see whether or not it was KL7).

So, what if you have CWM installed? Can I use Mobile Odin still? Or will this get rid of my CMW recovery and/or screw something else up?
if you use cwm still u can flash it to kl7, but again same, u cant root it. So using mobile odin pro, u can root kl7 during flashing by selecting 'eve root' n again u can cf root n get cwm for kl7 as you did it b4
Edit : yes with installed cwm still can use mobile odin, n remember u need pro version of mobile odin

Got the pro version. Thanks!
So just to make sure, coming from Stock KK9, rooted + with CWM:
Flash KL7 w/ ever root option Odin Pro
Re-install KL7 version of CWM.
Should all be set?
This is non-wipe too right? So everything should remain in tact?
Exactly, and when v dont select re partition box, it shud remain intact.(here also v dont selecting) But always keep backup b4 these kind of stuff.
Edit: I was able to get my phone flashed and updated to KL8. The process I used I descibed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21153439#post21153439
Ok, I'm using Mobile Odin Pro to try to flash to KL7 from KK5. I have root + CWM in KK5, use Mobile Odin according to the instructions to flash KL7...but I always get stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Note" boot screen. No matter how long I leave it, it will stay that way. To recover, I have to use Odin on PC to reflash KK5 and then reroot. Any suggestions on what else to try?
I couldn't get flashing with Mobile Odin to work correctly. I ended up getting the update to work by using CWM to flash the KL8 firmware, while pre-rooting. I then had to fix the keyboard issue by flashing the CSC, as mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997.
Once I did that, I installed CMW Manager again using the method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360. With the firmware updated and the radio working (phone wouldn't work in KL7) I just restored everything from a Titanium Backup file and it's all working.

[Q] sideload apps for official gingerbread?

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)
