Question about rooting new 2.1

Hey guys I wanted to ask a question and see what kind of feedback I get
I had a nice rooted hero but had some hardware issues and Sprint was nice enough to replace my phone
However, now I have the official 2.1 update and I know I cant root my phone again (Even though Ive tried )
My question is, I still have the unofficial RUU that was released a while back that I also used but I was able to root after that update. If I use that RUU again and install it over the official RUU, will I be able to ROOT my phone again?
Im afraid to brick my phone so all your help is greatly appreciated

Unfortunately, that will not work. It won't brick your phone either, because it won't let it flash the rom.

thanks for the info. that sucks. does anyone think we will be able to root the 2.1 soon? I miss my old phone..

Should I flash my phone or wait for ATT froyo?

So basically I have a couple questions before flashing my phone to Serendipity 4.3
1. If I flash can I ever go back to "real stock"?
2. Since froyo is not out for the captivate. I was wondering if the 2.2 roms were real froyo roms? (Like the Serendipity 4.3)
3. Since froyo is coming out soon, should I just wait for the ATT version of froyo?
4. If I do flash, can I get the ATT version of froyo? (when it comes out)
Thanks for reading

Yes
Yes
No
And doesn't exist yet

Yes of course, all you'll have to do is an update through kies once you flash back to stock when it comes out.

You won't want to.

He's right.

I wouldn't wait for AT&T, it could be a long time before they release anything. Happy flashing!!

So true...

Waiting for AT&T Froyo is like waiting to win the lottery...
As the rest have said, FLASH AWAY! Once you start, you'll see how addictive it really is. Try them all. They all have thier own pro's and con's

I sucessfully flashed my phone! I love my phone now, geezes I dont know why i waited sooooo long.
Thanks every1!

Probably going to flash a custom ROM (phoenix 4.1) for the first time this weekend. I currently have the AT&T 2.2 beta flashed from a one-click, but have never gone through the whole process. I have a couple questions.
1. Is the phoenix install instructions on the first page of the discussion in the development section complete? I was browsing through the discussion and some folks said there were some apps missing, like the music player (not that I used the stock one).
2. there are patches listed and it doesn't really say how to apply them. any guidance? rather than page through 700+ pages, is there a summary on how?
3. is there a lagfix in the Phoenix ROM or is it needed for 2.2.1 ROMs at all?

Each rom is done to the Dev's way so yes some remove some apps that they deem junk. Like all the att crapware that is installed. All the fixes are clockwork flashable that I know of. Most were for older versions of the rom. IF you follow the directions in the FAQ you will be fine, Just make sure then after you flash back to stock that you can get into recovery and DL mode with the 3 button combos just in case something goes wrong

cool thanks. looking forward to it.

Mod/Theming Question

Hey.
Yesterday I upgraded to 2.2 froyo and then rooted it. I was looking around and began to be interested in modding/themeing my phone. But, i'm unsure if I need to be on a custom rom or if being on the official rom is fine to use.
Thanks

Please Help Me!
I am currently running Firmware 2.2 Baseband Version UCJI6 Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1 Build FROYO.UCJI6. I updated to that with odin3 so my phone hasnt been rooted either. Obviously I want to upgrade my phone to a more recent version of 2.2 but am not sure how to go about it. I tried to update the kb1 that was just released but kies mini will not read my phone. Can anyone please help me. Id really appreciate it. Thanks!

For modding you want an unthemed rom for themeing it doesnt matter.

Alright, sweet. I'll probably just stick with theming then. I'm pretty satisfied with official froyo, so i don't really want to go through the hassle of flashing a custom rom onto my phone just for a mod.
And i'm just gonna ignore the other guy's comment, lol.

[] Which stock would be best?

With all the different versions of Gingerbread, what version do you think should be used and referred to as "stock"? Would it be different for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4? I9000 firmware or I897? Before anyone says anything about bootloaders, they would be removed (although it never seemed to bother anyone with JF6 one click). Please, speak up.

1100 posts and you don't know better than to not post this crap in Dev? Taking clueless to a new level.

I needed the opinion of the people actually going to use it. Thats why I put [Developers] in the title.
Mods feel free to move if you feel it necessary.

Thoughtful bump

Stock refers to the software that your phone came with. So stock doesn't mean the same to everyone.

I agree. This is what it means to me.

I guess for 2.3.3 you could say the new KF1 could be considered the stock version since its the actual version from Samsung, not a ported version from the i9000. Is this what you are looking for?

I would not consider that stock unless it came preloaded on your phone. Ihave had issues where I had to return to full stock 2.1 to fix it. Also can't consider it stock till/if att releases it. As it may still change.

[Q] I am a newbie, who wants to flash my Galaxy s vibrant GT-I900m

I have a Galaxy s GT-I9000m using the bell network. I been stuck with android 2.3.3 for over a year now.
I have been doing research and am finding it difficult to find a good source of information.
Mainly looking for the latest and most stable version of gingerbread. Also want to get rid of bloatware.
If someone can point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful
Thanks in advance.

Welcome!~ Let me tell you it'll get frustrating at first, but if you have patience and are willing to put in some time to learn things you will no doubt be amazed at what you can do.
I had a similar issue a while back and I started a thread, which blew up with information, so I suggest you look through there as it has useful tips from some really great members about what you're looking for. I see you're looking to upgrade from 2.3.3. The latest in my thread is version 2.3.6 and that one is great. Try that out first and when you're ready I suggest moving onto Cyanogenmod 7.1 as it's based on the latest Gingerbread build 2.3.7
Good luck! Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375971

this thread is useful i reckon. good luck.

Thanks,
Does my phone have to be unlocked? It if so the only way to unlock that I've seen is to use another sim card.

No, your phone does not need to be unlocked.
I'm currently running the JW1 (2.3.6) ROM that was released at the end of January with the Bell phone and modem files.
See post #9 in the thread pk1025 linked to.
It discusses and visually displays how to take pieces of different ROMs and install them on a Bell GT-i9000m phone.
It talks about installing JVT, but the same thing applies if you wish to install JW1 or the JVU value pack version discussed here.

Thanks alot the process is making alot more sense.
What's the most current stable version of 2.3.6. and where do I get it from?
