Hi,
We had discussed about a rooting method followed by unlocking method on the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139382
Just wanted to confirm whether the same method would work on android 2.1 as well as 2.2?
Cheers !
I haven't had a need to unlock my phone, so I don't have iniput on that but I have rooted both Stock Eclair and Stock Froyo successfully with SuperOneCLick 1.6.5. It seems to work best with my phone. One of later versions didn't work when I tried it with stock Froyo.
Another issue you'll get with Froyo when flashing is getting around the 3e recovery. There's a thread on here about that too.
Please dont start a new thread about the same thing you already posted in another.

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...

this does NoT work on the leaked ji6 without a proper kernel....
As the title of the thread says, I read the guide to install JVK/JVA/JVB and it says that before flashing I must have my phone unlocked.
When it was only JVK in that thread, I didn't see this note so I flashed it. That was 2 weeks ago and I haven't had any issue with the Network.
I haven't unlocked my phone and I don't want to because I read the guide for unlocking and I can't use adb.
So, can I flash JVB now? Are there any issues that my phone can suffer? I asked in the thread this question but nobody answered me, so that's why I made a new thread.
I'm using a JVB based gingerbread rom without any issues and never unlocked it... In fact this is the first time I heard this...

Warning:
*These firmwares are for International I9000 Galaxy S version, your device must be unlocked before flashing these firmwares.
So, I'm waiting for other opinions...
AS they are unofficial firmwares i guess instruction might be for safety .
Official updates via Kies when 2.3 is released will not need unlocked phones .

flash and see yourself !
I flashed a phone with no root or unlock from 2.1 to 2.3.3 works
I had a hard time trying to root 2.1 and got it boot looping so the last a tempt was a full flash of jvk work and saved the day.
I then was able to use cf-root 3.1 to get root and app from the market to unlock.
I'm ready to do it, but what issues can it cause? I heard something about a code at the first boot that you must enter but I don't know exactly.
Can I downgrade to 2.2.1 stock for example if I have problems?
Edit: I flashed JVB without having any issue. Thanks for the help anyway, I was pretty doubtful about what can happen. All the things work.
Cheers!
[Q]
ok i tried to root this phone with unrevoked following the captivate settings...no luck.
I am good with flashing with odin, i looked and am going in circles with this lol, is there a rooted stock or rooted gb that i can flash with odin that has no really bad bugs or issues?
thanks in advance
Is your Captivate official 2.2 I897uckb1 ?? If so, I was able to root with success using this...View attachment SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse.zip
It's an older version, but it is the only one that would work for me when I was on the official Froyo 2.2
Hi guys,
Long story short, I came across an awesome app, in order to use it you had to install a different kernal and root the phone. I know nothing about this but, my buddy supposedly could do this "no problem." So, long story short, it didn't work, he flashed my ATT Captivate and reinstalled Android 2.1 for the Vibrant!! Uggghhh! So, I've been reading here and there, wanting to fix this myself. I have downloaded the latest android OS, I have odin. Am I correct in assuming that all I need to do in flash the phone and install the new OS and I'm good to go? Is there anything else I need to do or should know? Thank you very much for any help!
Do you know how to get into download mode? you best bet would be to flash gingerbread boatloader and rom...read this thread for easy instructions
How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock
This post has everything you might need. it has instruction to flash Froyo and Gingerbread...I am not sure which one you want...but you can get root and custom kernels for both.....
Another thread to find stock roms for Android 2.1 to Android 2.3.5 and kernels.....Stock roms and kernels
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.
