[Q] Q: How to root my new SGS 2.2

Hi everyone I have seached the forum and found some threats on this subject, but nothing that helped me.
PDA: I9000XWJPF
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000TDCJP3
And my revovery is e3
I have tried One Click Root from XDA and z4root.
The One Click Root gives me the Verification error and the z4root just stalls..
Please help me. I want to apply lagfix and custom roms.

you didn't read enough. There is TONS of info on how to root the Galaxy S.
First of all i suggest you change upgrade to a more recent ROM, such as JPY. Go to the General Section and a thread for JPY will be there, you can get Odin in that thread too or from the link in my sig. To root, all you need is Odin v1.7 and CF-Root, the thread is here: [21.12.2010][CF-Root v1.3] JPH/K/6/M/A/O/U/X/Y - su+busybox+2e, CWM compat!
You can't have 3e Recovery, CF-root will give you 2e.
OR you could simply flash a custom ROM and you'll have root pre-installed.

I saw that thread but i dont know witch file to download whit my fw specifications

It doesn't matter what firmware you have before, the only thing that does matter is the CSC, which contains countries' specific provider APN's etc, but it'll have the EU CSC so you should be fine. Get Odin v1.7 and flash JPY over, and then you can flash CF-Root or a Kernel like Hardcore's, to get Clockworkmod as well, in order to flash a custom ROM.

So as it is now i just use odin and flash lets say DocRom XXJPX ?

Would be better to flash stock JPY, use CF-Root and then flash Doc/Darky ROM.

Can you point me a link for such fw? The one that fit my current fw.

Guy don't flash the JPY if you want to use GPS. After I flashed it on my German Galaxy S. It takes hours to fix the GPS and then you just get an accuracy (do I write it right?) of around 100 meters. Better use the JPX with JPA WiFi drivers.

Link? And am i still going to flash all files?

Lets see if we can complicate this further for this poor guy.
An easier approach if you don't want to touch your firmware is to flash a modified kernel. For example SpeedMod will give you root as well as other goodies (2e recovery, clockwork recovery, etc).

Download and flash it using ODIN (put the file into the PDA box).

This was what i was lookning for and after i have done this i can use costom roms with clockwork?

After I upgraded my Froyo 2.2 from JPA to FROYO.DXJPE I9000DXJPB I couldnt root using z4root at all. What can I do? The upgrade fixed my GPS problems tho. But my SGS Lags now. Help please. It also says my Recovery is 3e.

Want to jump in too...
I'm also interested in Darky's but did a fine job bricking my phone recently when I tried to flash to another firmware. So I need something like an idiot's/tech bimbo's guide...
My phone is the I-9000 international, running on official froyo 2.2, not rooted. Can someone kindly spell out the steps of exactly what I need to do? I came across many sites with incomplete information or even conflicting sequences when using Odin, so I'm a little paranoid about bricking my phone again. TIA.

[q] darky's rom help samsung galaxy s gt-i9000

Ok so im keen on flashing this Darky's ROM because of its proposed battery life and speed compared to stock firmwares. I was wondering if people could give me links or advice as to what else I would need to flash at the same time so that I have optimum coverage for my provider (Optus- Australia). I'm on a stock Optus 2.1 eclair ROM.
Thanks!

Please, do some research instead of just asking questions. We're trying to prevent spamming of the same questions over and over. Look in the developers page, there's plenty of information there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665

I had done some research and had not found any solution specific to my carrier (Optus) apart from installing a Optus Modem. Could you tell me how I would install a Optus Modem?

because of its proposed battery life and speed compared to stock firmwares.
??????????????????????????????????????????
You would need to ask the developer of that rom what you need or read post in the OZ post .
Thats as well as reading Darky FAQs etc.
Better still i can point you to Opus modem in rom kitchin .
Build your own rom .

http://romkitchen.org/sgs/?s=generator

you dont need to flash an optus modem, however,it is highly recommended that you upgrade to 2.2 through kies or otherwise. other than that, you will need to be rooted with clock work mod. after that , just drag and drop the rom zip in to your phone, download the configuration app from the market and flash from there.

Whenever I flash a new darky version I normally flash his odin ressirection edition then use cwm to flash latest version hope that helps

could you give me a complete guide for my galaxy s electrotune like i said i tried once before using odin and i had no network signal upon completion

It's all in the link I posted. First post.
Read the Instructions(Long)

is this a good method and would i be guaranteed to get signal when i am finished..
ps is it worth rooting my galaxy s and can you recommend any good custom roms if i do

There are benefits to rooting.
If you follow those directions, you will have a fully functional phone.
As far as custom roms, i have used Doc's rom kitchen. That's about it. I can recommend that to you.

do i need an unlocked phone for rooting to work

some say yes some say no.
mine came unlocked so i didnt need to worry about that. anyway try this before you root:

[Q] Reverting back to stock.

Hello,
Recently I updated to doc's mod v11.1, but I want to revert my phone back to stock (just to learn). I want it to be exactly the same as when I received it. I bought my phone on december 2010 so I guess I'll need the Froyo 2.2.1 firmware. Some information:
It needs the European firmware including dutch language.
I need to revert CWM recovery again to stock recovery 2e/3e.
Anyone got some information on this and can give me the required information, because I am having trouble finding it. Like where to find the firmware (I read about samfirmware, but I can't find the appropiate firmware ;/) Thanks in advance!

Tbh information without the files is welcome too. All information is welcome since it can broaden my search. Thanks again

I've got stock kernel in my backups pile... can upload and then you can use it with GS kernel flasher. Can do it preferably by Dropbox.
As for un-rooting (if you want to lol) check out OneClickRoot or something like that by Shortfuse

Hi
Hey bro i read ur thread,, here i have a link to a video from youtube it says step by step how to do it,, ive done it also a few times. you have to make an account to the link that the video points.

If you just install the stock rom with a wipe u can then choose dutch by language at the beginning. Im also from Dutch so ive done it also

Alright thanks but can you tell me what version I need from samfirmware?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

It depends on which one you want , if you want to go to Froyo then u can choose just the modem u were at, otherwise u can just do the latest European Gingerbread

I have no clue which modem I was on... This is more of a test if my phone ever breaks down I can flash it back to custom and send it in for warranty so... wouldn't really matter ^^ If I flash Froyo or Gingerbread right now I guess... the method is the same just a different file. Anyways what modem do you suggest?

aha okee,, well I use now the latest Gingerbread, it's very fast and stable... and it's officially released in the Netherlands, so you can flash that one

Alright thanks can you provide me with a link since I don't want to flash the wrong image :x. Thanks for all your help!
Dutch: Bedankt man

Noprobs bro, if you've an account on samfirmware, just log in and choose samsung galaxy s i9000, there you can choose the European version from the beginning till rom 2.3.3 latest
Dutch Geen Dank ahah

Alright thanks. But the guide says I need 3 files... a CSC, PHONE and PDA. I can only find 1 file.. do I need to flash that one without the repartition checked?

hmm, you can flash back to 2.2.1 or JVB that has three files with 512 pit file and repartition, and then after that 2.3.3 jvh without re partition..

I already downloaded a 2.2.1 version and it contains 1 file.. not three... so that's kinda weird... It's 2.2.1 JPY and then I'll flash to doc's rom (which is JPY based) again....
I downloaded this one:
I9000XXJPY ## from this link:http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm
Do I need that one or another one? Thanks!
I just found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790686 is this also a legit way to do it ? Thx (by only doing the first section ofcourse)

You can download this one >>http://hotfile.com/dl/114645023/5ea002a/PDA_I9000XWJVB_-_PHONE_I9000XXJVK_-_CSC_I9000XEEJV3.rar.html
it has three files, flash it with 512 pit file plus repartition.

Alright thanks a lot! This just leaves one question will this also turn my ClockWorkMod in to recovery 2e? Or do I still need to do it manually?

Just flash katest K13c speedmod kernel over the JVH modem the latest gingerbread then you have it also rooted and it works fine

Hey guys, i installed Brightside Evolution Firmware a few days back, but it isn,t working well and wanted to revert back to the Original stock ROM of GalaxyS GTI9000. DDJ froyo, Which is the safest to get back my original firmware??????????
thanx in advance!!!!

I think you just have to flash the old firmware with odin. Just search for a tutorial for the firmware you want. Maybe i misunderstood you.

Odin is not that dangerous :silly: You just have to look that you put the files on the right place and then just dont touch the phone while flashing. Then it is quite safe Just search for a tutorial.

Visit - Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 - Flashing to Original ROM : https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/

You can try to flash TeamwinRecovery/CWM with stock recovery than you just copy the stockrom to your sd card an flash it with the TWR/CWM... Afterwards you just flash the stock recovery again with TWR/CWM and you've finished without odin I hope it really works for sgs, cause i've tested that only with sgs plus
