Rooting Galaxy S 2.2

My Galaxy S was On 2.1 with root and lagfix. im now on froyo running as it comes, wanna root and lag fix, oclf wont root it need another way of doing it. any help?

try universal lagfix kernel, it has root and all you need included.

yeah, there is this wild thing search. look in it for cfroot

If you don't want to try experimental kernels like the one mentioned above, then search for ChainFire's root kernel.
It's tried, tested and stable

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] Has anyone updated to official 2.3 from ROOTED 2.2 directly?

Has anyone updated to official 2.3 from ROOTED 2.2 directly? Any problem?

Yep - used Kies Mini to update to Gingerbread from rooted stock Froyo. I backed up everything, but it looks like it didn't delete any of my apps or data (despite the warnings on the samsung website). Of course, I now have the bloatware back, and am no longer rooted.
Based on what I'm discovering, it isn't as simple to root with Gingerbread as it was with Froyo. Back to reading through the forums...

I just upgraded today from 2.2 to gingerbread 2.3.5. NO problem EXCEPT like you said not so easy to root. I am looking on the forum fou help no luck yet. I have rooted my phone many times with 2.2!

Search Fugu root method and you will find your answers!

Don't forget their already KK4 rooted stock Kernels in the developers section that can be uploaded by odin

Sounds like if I want to root after updating from stock rooted Froyo to stock gingerbread, I need to follow the fugu root instructions in the OP of this thread:[ROM]I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Optional Fugu Root, with the exception of needing the UCKK4 kernel instead of the UCKF1 supplied in that post.
Based on some of the ongoing forum conversations, the build dates and build numbers from the leaked UCKK4 and the official UCKK4 are slightly off, so it sounds like those wanting onlyto root stock gingerbread should wait for confirmation that there are no other changes between those two versions, or wait for someone to post the new official UCKK4 kernel.
That sound right to any knowledgeable devs out there? I'm assuming that this strategy will allow me to root without having to manually (or via Titanium) restore all my applications and files.
Let's also assume that those wanting to do this have a logical & rational reason for not using one of the custom GB roms that have been available for some time .

Or you can use SuperOneClick

SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0 eventually stops responding for me using either method. If someone gets it to work, please detail how. I went back to stock Eclair then used Kies mini to go to 2.2 then to KK4.

The kk4 kernels that already exist should work fine after you flash the fugu kernel.
It won't wipe any apps you have installed.

[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)

you can try other rooters on My Android collections link below, or it may be easier to just flash a semaphore or CF Root kernel with Odin to install superuser app on your phone
