i've lost root =)) - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i'm currently on milky rom and normally i had root privileges. i don't know how but today only controlfreak may function with root access. root explorer, set dns and market enabler currently don't have root access.
as the milky kernel file is not downloadable nor flashable, what should i do?

well i've just flashed talon-dev kernel, everything's fine except the root access.. it drives me crazy

Roms come pre-rooted so gawd knows how you've lost root dude, but anyways, flash back to stock, then reflash custom firmware and all should be sorted or just flash galaxian kernel

[Q] Any way to disable LOW battery notification (sound / popup / both) ?

Guys, do you know about some way how to disable on I9000 (currently Juwe's 5.1 ROM) annoying low battery notification ? Either only sound or popup, or the best - both. I'm looking more for permanent solution, not using silent profiles or something like this.
Thank you.
delete the sound ogg from media folder duh - easiest tweak ever =)
A....I was searching for SND ;-)
You mean maybe to delete file TW_Battery_caution.ogg and TW_Low_Battery.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui/ ?
TW_Battery_caution.ogg - just move it to internal sdcard and reboot?
It worked, even without restart. There is still popup, but finally I'm not scared anymore by this sound ;-)
I can find this file with ES File Explorer but it won't let me delete it. I'm running stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 JVQ so can't root. Any ideas?

You must have root access, to delete the files.
That's what I figured. Without flashing a custom rom there seems no easy way to root these days, sigh.
Yes, there is. Just flash a different kernel, e.g. CF-root.
I didn't want to flash a different kernel. I guess I'll just have to wait until oneclickroot or gingerbreak work out how to do it.
you do not need to flash kernel to remove/move one file out of system, just use some rooted file explorer to move this god damn sound file

If I cannot root the phone how can I use a rooted file explorer?
how do you want to mod the phone without rooting it ?
I don't. I just don't want to flash a kernel to root the phone. As superoneclick and gingerbreak don't work on gingerbreak I'm stuck.
so use cfroot, it is root only basicly not forcing file conversion or anything oter

Anyway you should flash a kernel/custom rom. Its damn better...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm trying to keep it stock so I can evaluate Samsung Android vs other flavours and iPhone as they are in the marketplace. I just find that damned battery beep annoying!
Reading up on cfroot does not reassure me that this fits with my aim or indeed that it is a trouble-free method of rooting. Too many tales of FC and apps gone missing.
You can flash another kernel then install busybox and Superuser and then revert to stock kernel. The phone should be rootet then and you still have the original kernel. You just have to find it or make a backup with SGS Kernel Flasher (oh, that requires root i forgot...)

[Q] Root and stock

Hi all
If I root a SGS with some kernel (JVT CF or voodoo for example) and then flash again stock kernel, will I retain this root or I'll come back to an unrooted system?
Thanks!
My understanding is that you will be back to non rooted

No,root will stay butt you will not have any advanced option that comes with root.
Only stock kernel with root.
if you make rooting, as is.... when u return to stock kernel,it will be unrooted...
This is what i'm talking about.

Try this.
From that thread:
You can use these files to return to the stock kernel if you wish, you will still be rooted but adb will not be running as root on first login via shell.

I upgraded to stock 2.3.3 and lost root- the superuser icon was there but apps requiring root eg TiB, would not be granted superuser permissions so effectively unrooted.
re-rooted it easily enough though.

[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)

[Q] Philz Kernel - will it stay?

I recently loaded Philz Kernel and also rooted my Galaxy Note.
I would like to return to it being not rooted so that Sky Go will work. I have tried a number of changes to regain the not rooted status but without success.
I would like to keep Philz Kernel for the ease of use of it.
I am now being prompted to install JB (which I have tried before but without great success - problem with the bluetooth in my car not detecting contacts) - if I let the stock OTA JB install will I then return to being not rooted?
After using stock OTA JB will Philz kernel still be present or will it have also been replaced,
Ideally I would like to have stock JB and Philz kernel but I dont know if these are mutually exclusive.
I apologise if these are very basic questions to which I should know the answer.
First: check in what forum you posted your question.
Second: There is no 50:50 solution: rooted or not rooted, that is the question.
Third: so you have to decide: SkyGo and you stay on official unrooted JB - or - root and don't use SkyGo.
if you use OTA for JB it will unroot and you will loose Philz kernel.. there is JB kernel by Phil too.. Use the unroot option in SuperSu App to unroot and see if SkyGo works.. this way you will not have root but still Philz kernel will be there.
Moved to Q&A
Beware sky go will need removal of root and apps that require root. You may even have to flash the stock rom and kernal again for it to work.
I have had loads of issues with it
Sky confirmed to me that the app checks for modified kernal, root, and apps that need root on boot. Doesnt say that in the permissions does it!
