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.

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.

[Q] 2.1vs 2.2 rooting and unlocking method

Hi,
We had discussed about a rooting method followed by unlocking method on the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139382
Just wanted to confirm whether the same method would work on android 2.1 as well as 2.2?
Cheers !

I haven't had a need to unlock my phone, so I don't have iniput on that but I have rooted both Stock Eclair and Stock Froyo successfully with SuperOneCLick 1.6.5. It seems to work best with my phone. One of later versions didn't work when I tried it with stock Froyo.
Another issue you'll get with Froyo when flashing is getting around the 3e recovery. There's a thread on here about that too.

Please dont start a new thread about the same thing you already posted in another.

W8 formatted what now?

hi all i just recently formatted my bricked phone though the PCC method ..and now everything is back to stock now ..so my root acces is gone , my link2sd and it's app is gone , my xrecovery is gone , rom is gone , cmw gone cause no mod all things root based is gone so ...basically how can i recover them? must i do everything back? from root to xrecovery(since these 2 are most important)? i heard i cant flash my phone through the link

i understand it but it seems that i followed it indirectly ..since i used the pcc method instead of his ...so is there another way to flash?

If you had saved backup with xRec or CWM, install them again and restore it. Or you can set up everything again from the beggining but it will take you some time.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
betta to do it again,root with superoneclick

well..if u want to use custom ROMs again, then yes, you must start from rooting again. everytime you fix your phone through PCC/SEUS/flashtool, ur phone become like new, just the way u bought it.

Oh wait ... this is a W8?
This is the first time you mentioned this bit of info.
Well ...
You can flash your W8 with Flashtool as well - the difference to the regular E15i/E15a Xperia X8 is that the W8 comes with a slightly different ROM (aka "Walkman") and a re-versioned baseband ("E16"). Otherwise the two devices are identical twins.
This little difference is ONLY of any importance if you would want to have exactly the W8 Stock ROM version back. Since your goal is to flash FroyoPro anyway, it doesn't matter to flash back the normal X8 ROM (others actually re-flashed their phone from a W8 to a X8 to get rid of the "Walkman" parts of it).
That being said - I can't recall I ever saw a Flashtool image of the W8 stock firmware.
Anyhow, now that you got the phone recovered with PCC just grab Flashtool and start at the rooting step onward to a) root the phone, b) inject xRecovery and c) flash FroyoPro.

Thanks ya but can I flash using my w8 since my neo locked my comp with pw

[Q] How do I root my phone and install CWM

Hi,
I tried to root my LG P970 which contains Froyo V10E but it failed. I tried Blackjack and Gingerbreak. Gingerbreak hangs on running exploits for 30 minutes so I killed the proces. Blackjack runs and reboots my phone but it still isn't rooted.
I'm looking for a good tutorial which describes how to root my phone, and after that, how to install CWM so I can install any rom I would like.
I have spend about 2 ours on reading threads about rooting but they are all a bit confusing.
BTW, I have never rooted a phone before so I am new on this
Regards,
Wes

i don't think this is the right place for asking
plus, there's a thread about rooting
to answer the question, use Super One Click
after rooted,install Rom Manager, flash CWM
