[Q] How to undo froyo 2.2 upgrade

Hi everyone,
I have upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2 via Samsung Kies. I have used Ryan's Z4root to root it which was success. Everything was fine until here. When I tried to fix the lag using the update.zip, it failed saying 'file verification failed' (somthing of this sort). I chekced on different forums and found that there isn't any update.zip file to fix lag on 2.2 (am I right?).
If there is one, could someone point me in that direction. If there isn't, how can I undo 2.2 and rollback to 2.1 so that I can root it and fix the lag.
Please ask if you need any further details regarding my phone or the process I used to root and fix the lag.
Thanks in advance.
Superoneclick worked for me on 2.2 and 2.2.1 if you just need to root the phone.

Thanks for your reply but I have already rooted my 2.2. What I am looking is for a lag fix solution on my 2.2 or rolling back to 2.1 where there are loads of easy lag fix solutions.
head over to the android dev subforum, look for any of the lagfix kernels.
Alternatively use cf-root which will allow you to use 2e recovery and thereby apply your update.zip
Do you know which 2.2 firmware you flashed? Was it jk3 or jk4? This sounds like a recovery version issue and not all solutions support every version of firmware.
Ryan's Z4root to root
+ Ryans OCLF for lag fix works for me .

Any lagfix that can be installed as an app should be ok. You'll still be prevented from applying anything via the update.zip method until you resolve the recovery "issue".

My current 2.2 firmware is JP3. This is what is showing after I updated to 2.2 via Kies.

Yes!!!
Ryan's Root and OCLF worked for me aswell.
Rooting worked fine on the first go but lag fix resulted in a black screen on my galaxy. As I had an external SD card in my phone, I removed it out and ran the lag fix again. It worked this time!!!

no not really although there are many benefits of rooting,
if you are flashing a kernal you seem to be in to the whole modding thing, why dont u root aswell ?
I had root before i Flashed the 2.2.1 JPY. And the Hardcore's kernal contains root i think.

Yep it does.
hi I successfully rooted XWJV1 using CF root and odin and I realize I doesn't revert 3e recovery to 2e... so my question is how do I apply a "lagfix"?
voodoo cannot be installed via update.zip (unsigned) and I'm not sure what are the effects of flashing the voodoo 3.0 odin package.. does it overwrite the CF root? conflict with it ..? anyone tried this?
thanks!
Have you read the informations in the JVE thread? in the first post?^^
I'm pretty certain there's even a link to the thread you're looking for.
here's the post that is quoted in mentioned first post

Yes take the xwjv1 cf but no cwm...
to have it you have to flash a speed kernel ...or a kernel with cwm
