I have flash and it works great. Im not sure whay you cant seem to access it. Make sure you have "plugins" enabled in your browser settings and then give it a go. You should have it no problem.
Also... You dont have to install the flash player from the market... When you upgrade to 2.2 it is automatically there. Perhaps you messed something up by installing the market version???

Which root for FROYO.DTJP5 PDA:JP5 PHONE:JP3 CSC:JP4 Australia Optus (using on Three)

People in Australia are of course happy with the release of Froyo.
Did my updates etc. Now I got 2.2 running and want to know how to root this. I see there are some one-click apps and programs out there. But which one would be best for my
FROYO.DTJP5
PDA:JP5 / PHONE:JP3 / CSC:JP4
????
(more details of my version in signature below)
Next, I would like to know how to change the boot animation?
and did someone get call recording working (as in the Korean version)?
Do you have 3 button combo working? If you do its probably easier to flash new kernel that has root in it plus it will have lagfix options or better still install new jpu 2.2.1 fast as hell and no need to lagfix.

Thanks, you are the 2nd person to suggest JPU 2.2.1. I will look into that. However, I read it will not recognize Kies anymore. Before, as most I hated Kies. But with the new Froyo update it finally works and syncs even the Outlook pictures. I still dont know what the lags entails, and what the benefits are of JPU 2.2.1. So would be glad to hear more about the differences.
For the reader. I was able to use z4root. The installation of z4root didnt go correctly. But it was there after a restart and root was succesful.
I used z4mod for my DTJP5, and it's working fine.
VeenK, did you upgrade via kies or odin?

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...

[Q] Problem with android market

hi guys im currently on the darky's v9.0.2. extreme edition custom rom for my galaxy s im having some problems downloading off the android market. basically i can browse all the files as normal but when i go to download them it shows that im downloading for about 2 seconds then just disappears off the screen?? does anyone know how i can fix this or know of a better or equal alternative to the market? i know of appbrain but i can even download that off the market either.
cheer in advance!
Darky problem ask Darky or search market fix .
jje
go into sgs tools, and go in to upgrade stock apps then select market fix that ought to do it
cheers guys for the quick response. i dont have sgs tools on this custom rom is there any way of getting this file such as a apk file to copy into my phone?
you should be able to find it in darky's app in market.
oops (you can't download from market). it should be in darkys' thread then.
APK here copy to sd card and install .
http://www.multiupload.com/5EN3Y87URL

well i installed the up to date sgs tools and done the market fix and upgrade stock apps and no luck with it. still the same problem of the download starting then dissapearing. any more ideas guys?? oh ive also tried a different custom rom called insanity and still had the exact same problem.
Dump that rom do a clean install see if it comes back and if you want to upgrade get a service that does not have thousands of broken phones in its wake .
Via ODIN

Then if it works Build a ROM .

How to root and install lag-fix on android 2.2?

ive beeb trying to search the thread on how to make the samsung galaxy s less lag and i cant find it i updated my phone using kies im on froyo 2.2 now. saw some tutorials but only working on 2.1 for the rooting purposes can anyone show me the thread on how to root samsung galaxy s running on 2.2 and give me some apps to less the lag thanks very much....;
[Mod Edit] Title edited because it was misleading , this way this thread may be of help to others with similar questions.

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.

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.

[Q] Update unlocked, rooted & lagfixed Captivate from 2.1 to 22

Hello,
I have a unlocked and rooted Captivate. Recently in installed OCLF Lag Fix and did "OneClickLagFix V2+". It is safe to update to android 2.2 from 2.1? If yes, then what is the best way?
Thanks in advance.
Just disable lagfix and flash any custom 2.2 ROM you want inside CWM.

Thansk for the reply. I will do it tomorrow. I am new to android, I hope all goes well. Will update my results.
OCLF is so 2k10
*If you're not on Gingerbread, you should be shot*
Don't forget to remove the ext2 tools after disabling lagfix.

The only time my phone has ever been on lagfix is when the ROM I flash comes with it. I really don't see any difference at all in performance with or without it. The only reason I'm not on GB is because I had TONS of problems with apps working and got fed up with it. If my signature still says KF1 then its old. I'm on XDA app so I can't tell.
Hello All, Finally I updated my Captiavte with Andriod 2.2 few days ago. I was not able to do that before because of some issues."
I un-lagfix my mobile and used Odin3 v1.0 to flash "I897UCKB1-homeBinary.tar ROM...
I feel now that my mobile is slower then before... But got some new features.
Can anyone tell me difference between "I897UCKB1-homeBinary.tar" and ''I896UXJL1-stock"?

Hello All,
I applied lagfix on my android 2.2 OS and wow!!! speed is now 200% increased!!!!
Is 2.3 available for captivate ?
Many flavors of 2.3, just be sure to read the installation instructions and understand GB bootloaders before trying.
2.1 to 2.2 to Black Screen to Semi brick to Working Captivate...
Hello All,
I had some heck of the experiences in last 2 weeks which I would like to share.
-> I had successfully updated my captivate from Android 2.1 to 2.2. Using "I897UCKB1-homeBinary.tar" ROM from BriefMobile site. After this update my three button combo for entering recovery mode stopped working. I could only go into downloading and recovery mode by using Android SDK.
-> And as written in my earlier post, I felt that speed is slow so i "lagfix"-ed it. This gave very good results and all was working fine...
-> Until one day... I was installing blik calendar widget after downloading it from site(I don't remember link now)... This installation never ended, it was continuing even after 15 mins so I used Task Killer to kill the installation... After that it became very slow... I restarted the mobile and what the hell!!!! mobile was stuck at boot screen... Mobile was stuck at "S" logo.
-> I tried all the combos I could find on net to enter into downloading mode but none work. Computer was not recognizing captivate while it was stuck as S logo.
-> After few days I used USB JIG method to bring my captivate into downloading mode.
-> Tried to flash earlier installed ROM "I897UCKB1" via Odin 3. It was successful but now after boot animation I was getting black screen. Lights on button were glowing on pressing and mobile was vibrating but ... It was in useless state.
-> Tried to flash "I896UXJI2" ROM, same condition as above.
-> Then I tried to Flash "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.zip" downloaded from xda... with repartition option checked. It stucked in between and i had to remove battery.
-> Now mobile was in Semi Brick state.
-> All this time mobile was "lagfix"
-> Then somehow I got back my captivate using :

First, if you are at stock 2.1 eclair, you can use the 3-button odin one-click. As long as you have the eclair/froyo bootloaders, that will work properly. But for the love of all that is sacred and captivatible, make 100000000% sure you have the proper bootloaders first. Flash back to stock eclair if necessary to make sure of this. I cannot stress this enough. If you do not have the eclair/froyo bootloaders in place before using the 3-button fix, you will murder your phone. It will die, and you will most likely have to pay real money to get it fixed. Make sure you have the eclair/froyo bootloaders before using the 3-button fix.
(Sorry. I just wanted to make sure that you avoid an all-too-common issue on the board.)
What may be a better option for you would be to upgrade to Gingerbread. Part of that upgrade process will flash the GB bootloaders, which will automatically have your button combinations fixed.
In either case, there is some level of bootloader flashing involved, which does mean some level of risk - make sure to read up on it thoroughly before you do anything.
And custom roms, in my opinion, are always better than stock. Clockworkmod Recovery is something you'll definitely want to have (and is usually included in the kernels that you'll flash along with custom rom upgrades).

There are several roms that I897 GB based right now.
Like Atomic Fusion 1.5 and Cog v2, both are awesome roms.
Both will be developed even further, when source comes out! (The Official 2.3 update from ATT)
