anyone know of a guide or app that can root and also unroot the samsung galaxy s.
Simpler the better obviously, but if doing it the long way is somehow safer i don't mind that either.
Would prefer to keep my warranty intact, and also upgrade to froyo without promlems in future, so a undo option would help.
thanks
Just download ryanzas one click lag fix from market or somewhere on this forum. Its very simple to use, no pc required.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
but remember
the root in ryanzas one click lag fix can only effect in 2.1 system
it cannt make the froyo to be "root"
get root in 2.2(froyo) need to flash a modded update.zip

RyanZA's one click lag fix will root 2.1 without any problems. Go on to market and download the app. Then open the app and use the "Root 2.1" option. Reboot into recovery and apply the update.zip. Your phone is now rooted!
The current option to root FroYo is flashing a PDA in Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
does it also do the lagfix automatically?
i'd prefer not to do the lagfix, given there is some fear that it might be causing internal sd card failures.

Flash back to stock kernel or flash new stock rom.
Well Thanks,
But i don't have enough knowledge how to flash the kernel and moreover
my SGS doesn't have 3 Button Combo work..
Anyway since you are very helpful can i ask whether it safe or not to update to 2.2.1 or 2.3 when it will be available through Kies?
My phone running JPO 2.2 and recognize the kies..
Thanks in advanced..
Hello!
I have just a little bit of a problem here
I tried to find a stock (AOSP) android Lockscreen for JPY for ages (Update.zip). That's why, when i found one for JS3, (Wich is also based on JPY) I have downloaded it and Applied it on my Galaxy S with Android 2.2.1 JPY and Hardcore's Kernel.
But things went bad, and with the JS3 update.zip applied, my phone gets stuck at the Galaxy S I9000 boot logo.
Now, I know that i can reflash the whole thing with JS3 and start over...but I don't want that really.
I thought downloading androidpolicy.odex from a JPY firmware and put it in a Update.Zip (The JS3 one maybe?) and re-apply update.zip, but i don't know where to download the androidpolicy.odex and how to put it on the internal SD storage. Could ADB help me?
Thanks..
Come on guys...please answer me!!
I need my phone
try wiping cache in recovery, if that dont work just do factory reset. i dont know any other methods as its never happend to me, ADB is a great tool to do magic to the phone without using it, then again i dont use ADB so i dunno if it will help..
just making this reply as it must be lonely for u in this thread
Thanks alot @azzledazzle
I got the ADB Commands, but I don't have a stock androidpolicy.odex from JPY, so someone with Stock JPY and ROOT Explorer please copy it from /System directory and put it here, thanks!
im not on stock JPY im on darkys 9.0.2 based on JPY, il give u a copy if u think it will fix it. but i dont know where to find it. im rooted with root explorer

Thanks Again!
sorry for the late reply,
ive been through every folder in root explorer i cant find it any where mate..
its definately not in the apk folder, and i checked the rest too.
got android policy. googled it, its in jar format not odex got it from /system/framework - android.policy
but it wont let me upload jar format. the site don't support it
EDIT: forget what i said http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803719 its on there
I have found the android.policy.odex, but I have another problem:
I still can't manage to copy the update.zip to the internal SDcard, if someone could help me with that it will be ok...
Thanks!

I don't want to hear what "might" work
I want to know what WILL work - as in 100%
Are there are Bell Canadian i9000m users with Froyo (2.2) who rooted their phones ? (I am not into flashing etc. I just want to root so I can back up my apps with Titanium Pro THEN be able to flash)
Please for the love of god help me
Try (one click root ),i think you can find it on android market
I know you said you are not into flashing, but last time I had tried I had trouble using utilities to root my phone on froyo. (SaskTel I9000m)
I found it by far the easiest to flash the speedmod kernel via odia to get root. You can flash the kernel and no other part of the phone if that is what you want, and still gain root, and IMHO the best add-on feature there is, backlight notification!

So let me get this straight, I would still keep everything, all my apps, my current build (2.2) and everything else -- but I would gain a new "kernel" and root ?
do you have any links or instructions ?
I am on the latest gingerbread DXJPE. As most of you know Z4Root and Superoneclickroot and Gingerbreak don't work on this firmware.
We have available CF-root by Chainfire, DiP7 kernel, and Overcome which have root in addition to other features.
Myself and others that don't want OC/UV or CWM or Voodoo but want to use Titanium backup,etc want a simple root application or a patch to our firmware.
I cannot understand why can't a straightforward root cannot be done unless you have CWM or OC/UV....
So I am pleading/begging you expert coders/programmers in XDA-PLEASE PROVIDE A SIMPLE ROOT APP/PATCH FOR THE LATEST GINGERBREAD.
THANKS!

I am rooted on 2.3.4 and I don't have CWM. It's super easy to flash with Odin, no harder or longer than rooting with SuperOneClick would be.

May I ask what you used to root?
Update/edit: You have a sprint tab....
I agree, I have tried CF-root,DiP7 kernel and Overcome Gold. I have also posted my problems re: CWM but there seems to be nobody interested. I even asked Chainfire the author of CF-root for a way to root without the "extras" but he said it is not possible.
Maybe I will just be content on what is available?....

DXJPE. I have already tried rooting successfully- it's just that I wanted to have root with the following:
1. Stock boot animation with sound.
2. use of the default recovery instead of CWM.
3. be able to change CSC with no errors
All of the above can be done when I rooted using Z4root or superoneclick but not CF-root or Dip7 or more so not with overcome.
the stock bootanimations its already in the stock and it will only work in the stok !!!
if you rooted with superoneclick or Z4root how come you get CWM ? it only suppose to flash ROOT (superuser and busy box) thats all
to change the CSC ,tbh , its sucks way to do so , so ignore it and don't worry about it i also wanna try update via kies but never had
I think the person who posted the original question has a GSM tab and the guy who replied has the cdma sprint tab. The flash for cdma/sprint won't work for GSM. I might be wrong but if you try to flash with the wrong thing, there's an excellent chance you're going to bork your GSM tab. Same thing applies with the other android device I'm dealing with, the nexus s 4g. The GSM and cdma for ns4g and ns are different. The software and hardware under the Hood are different. Not drastically different but enough to make it so that development for the two types must be separate and aren't interchangeable.

to root a phone it doesn't matter if its CDMA or GSM , what is matter if you flashed rom is not for your tab ,
root only contains SUPERUSER and BUSYBOX and nothing else , what chainfire posted is a Kernel and not Root , but kernel contain both , CWM and Root access , and the kernels are for specific tabs.
my point is to root , it doesn't matter if you are GSM or CDMA , then how Z4root work or Superoneclick ? they just push the busybox and superuser to the system. so basically Root tools aren't that harm to your phone or tab

there is a thread in the android section called guide how to made bootanimation and with sound , there is the file there , grab it and try to push it via emulator and see how it will work with you

is it arabic rom or which region ? i can't understand what you want ? i mean everybody is hoping\wishing to get CWM so why you don't track the superuser where its located and the busybox and try to push them via adb or root explorer maybe this will work

Are you sure that by only editing the dat file you will also reset the settings to the CSC that you choose? Example are language,frequency settings,applications for the region,etc?
What I know is that the CSC should match a nv_data.bak file for your particular firmware. If there is no match then it will be pointless to change CSC but just changing to any value.
BTW,hacking the cache file and installing the hacked file via CWM also solves the missing PDA and CSC ....

yeah.... but im assuming that a no-flash method comes with an unroot button..hahahaha
The advantage of android is that non market apps can be installed even without root. IOS in idevices do not allow non appstore apps to be installed unless jailbroken.
Also apps which require root are available for android on the market while you will find similar apps only thru cydia.

Our firmware is DXJPE, w/c is the asian region... I think there is an option for gingerbreak on superoneclick but I personally have not tried it out... Maybe bongski can try it out and see if it works...
@bongski: There is an option on superoneclick for "gingerbreak", just take a look at the available option, it may work for you... I don't have superoneclick on my laptop so I cannot tell you where exactly is that option... Try it out and see if it works...
I don't root my TAB, only on froyo when I want to flash other ROMS, so I can't be of much help here...
Both gingerbreak under superoneclick and the gingerbreak.apk don't work on the JPE firmware. I think the exploit in which gingerbreak is based is already closed by samsung.
the root you are able to achieve is through the rom not the kernel or recovery or any of that. that is not a horrible issue especially since there are only a hand full of roms. what has happened in the epic 4g forum is that some roms rely on kernel root and others rely on rom root, like what we have. rom root is fine for average root users cause you can get into the root directory and install or remove stuff at your whim. the issue will arise when the recovery is in place and roms are being developed. if you have a kernel thats not rooted and you flash a rom that isnt baked with root then you lose root. its kind of a chicken and the egg discussion on the surface. i imagine that kernel and recovery devs can argue the preferred method, but for most end users its moot. from what ive learned devices have a recovery kernel and a "rom" kernel. one gets you up and going and allows recovery to boot and the other will control how the rom runs. people have had some issues when they flash what that think is substantial kernel and use an app like quick boot only to find out they dont have a custom recovery like cwm. however when using 3 finger boot or in our case vol up +power they find the custom recovery. a rooted and properly flagged recovery kernel will boot into the custom recovery from the app or from the hardware induced recovery boot. if you read through oldmacnut's thread he eludes to partial root issues. again when our root comes through an odin of a rom thats got root baked in, you dont get to access all the innards of the device and the possibilities that other devices are seeing.
thats my interpretation of the situation
