Yes, check out Lox 's thread in Android development. Or try eViLs or Leo's prepackaged ROMs.

take a look here. It's a pre-rooted, deodexed version with stock or black status bar.

You guys are the best! Thanks soooooo much!!!

This is the LOX instructions I followed :

Worked perfectly for me I was running FRF50 upgraded from Cyanogen 5.0.6.
I'm Not sure if it said to do this but I flashed the no-radio version then let it completely boot so everything is 'written' or whatever causes the first boot to take longer.
I saw I lost root, no big surprise because there was were root files posted as well.
Rebooted into RA Recovery and flashed the root file.
No Wipe when going from FRF50 to this ROM, all my programs still work just like they did before.

Thanks a lot guys

[Q] Samsung i9000T (Telstra Australia): Custom ROM

Hi Guys
New here so please be gentle...
I have a stock Telstra Samsung i9000T with Eclair 2.1 update 1 firmware and I'm wanting to flash to a new ROM from Doc's Kitchen. I currently have confirmed recovery and download (2e) but was told I need to gain 3e recovery and download before flashing to my new ROM. I have rooted the phone and backed up everything including /efs folder. My question is this: Can I use the latest SpeedMod Froyo K13B kernel to gain 3e recovery and download or is it exclusively for Froyo ROMs only - not my Eclair?
Matthew

do you think you could do me a favour first please mate?
i am in desperate need of the telstra ROM, could you enter recovery and make a backup of your ROM then upload it please
also, i dont think you can flash roms with 3e, you need 2e, you can use ODIN to flash speedmod kernal to get a really good one
thanks!

Certainly mate, I'll be sure to do that for you before I flash it this evening. This what I was told to do to get my new ROM on the phone:
1. z4root
2. mybackup root -> backup stuff
3. find sgs tools over at xda; it has a script in it to backup /efs (IMEI) for you
4. copy everything from /sdcard to PC (this will include the mybackup files and the efs backup created by sgs tools)
5. copy new rom .zip to sdcard
6. phone fully charged
7. install speedmod kernel as per http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html; see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 if you want more info or alternative downloads
8. sim & internal sd out if you are being paranoid
9. reboot into recovery; apply zip from sdcard, select zip -> select your cooked rom
10. first boot will take about 5 minutes
I'm currently at no. 6 in readiness for speedmod kernel

that would be good if you could do that, you would save my ass lol, i need it for warranty, telstra are cracking the ****s!
here is what i did.
if your 2.1.
root using z4root, download rom manager, install recovery mode, then apply the ROM you wish ( ps, after you have updated your stuff ofcourse )
i would be very thankful if you would get that telstra ROM for me, will greatfully buy you a beer!

Sure thing mate and thanks for the heads-up I'll send you a PM once I've gotten the 2.1 done.

thanks mate, appreciate it heaps!.
will be waiting patiently, then i can get my damn phone fixed, stupid internal memory shat itself

OK few pointers..
if all goes tits up, don't worry try these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11470507&postcount=79
This is also from the same thread :-
2e was the first type of recovery screen and 3e is its replacement on a firmware upgrade to Froyo but it has limitations so you can't just flash update.zip in it and get it to work like on 2e. Though ClockworkMOD does work and once your in that you can do anything.
And maybe use the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934409 to get a quicker answer, worked for me an others

Thank you so much guys I really appreciate the assistance
@ aussiesausage: I still haven't forgotten you mate, just getting the rugrats off to bed.
Edit: Links to Stock Telstra FW and CSC sent via PM

heh thankyou so very much dude!
phone is still stuffed, but now telstra will stop *****in at me

Any chance you could pass this onto me mate? I'm in a similar situation, i9000T speaker has died and of course Telstra aren't going to like repairing it without the original rom.
-SlimLegs

It would be much appreciated if you could also send me the link as well. I didnt make a back-up before i flashed my first ROM. Had a few scares flashing, so would like to keep a copy for an emergency

Hey PV5150, I was wondering if you would please be kind enough to also post a copy of your stock 2.1. I've been searching, and can't get my hands on a clean version.

any chance one of you guys could send me the file and i'll link it for all of us other poor buggers on telstra, has taken me ages to find someone who has it.

Yes please.

sorry to bring old hread up but has anyone got the links

i have been searching for ages

I would appreciate it if you could send me the link.

In the same situation had to buy another galaxy s telstra refused to repair because wasnt there ROM, i also need this 2.1 update ROM. Same issue as one of the other guys, internal memory card is bust. Love the phone couldnt find this rom anywhere so gave up and bought another phone lol

Issue: Fugu Root Mod + GB 2.3.5 KK4

Hey guys, so I just recently updated my Cappy from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 KK4 using a couple of the forums found here on XDA. Question, though:
I attempted to apply the Fugu Root Mod before flashing to 2.3.5. When flashed, it showed the red Fugu fish, and then bootlooped on me until I pulled the battery. After that, I flashed the 2.3.5 update. Apparently, Fugu has failed on part of my own error, because I don't have SU, BusyBox, or any of the Fugu mods, and the kernel in the phones "About" section shows "2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489."
The question: I don't really care to give rooting another go, and I've discovered the "fugumod" folder in my SD's directory. Of course, the file tells me not to delete it, but is it safe to do so being that the root was not applied?
Thanks in advance!

Try installing SU app? At any rate I believe Corn kernel and samurai kernel have SU installer on cwm. I could be wrong but check it out

Installed the SU app from the market, but Root Check Basic still reports that my phone isn't rooted. Is it safe to just delete the "fugumod" folder in my SD directory, or is it worth a shot at reflashing Fugu? I pretty much manually restored my phones contacts, apps, etc before I noticed root was missing (I wasn't rooted before) and don't want to risk losing all my data.
Like I said, I don't mind not having root, I just figured I'd throw Fugu in there since I was wiping and updating my phone anyway.

You can try it. Odd it didn't work first go. But like I said there are 2 KK4 kernels that offer (or might) SU installer with CWM and tweaks.

Any risk in bricking if I delete the "fugumod" folder? It's telling me within the file that my phone won't reboot if deleted...but I'm not even Fugu rooted in the first place!
EDIT: Hmm...I didn't notice a KK4 with an SU installer. Could you point me in the right direction?

I honestly don't know never deleted that folder... like ever lol.

Hahaha that's what I was trying to find out in the first place, though! If I don't need the folder, I don't want it on my phone.

Searching would have found your answer, but here it is.
After flashing the fugumod kernel, you did the right thing pulling the battery. That kernel isn't designed to boot completely, just give you root. Where you were wrong was flashing the whole update. You should have flashed just the kk4 kernel. Once rebooted, you have the stock, rooted ROM.

Ahh, I see, thanks! So flashing the update removes the root, correct?
EDIT: Went ahead and just deleted the fugumod folder. No problems whatsoever, since I'm not rooted, of course.

Yeah, reflashing the update will wipe out the root, as well a factory reset.

[Q] Rooting and Updateing LG

Hi
My problem is "Waiting for device"
My LG is on version 2.2.2 and it says that there is no Upgrade available
I spent 3-4 hours trying to root my phone but failed. Do I need to root cell phone before I upgrade to version 2.3.4 or can I switch to version 2.3.4 and then Root Cell Phone
Every time I try to Root my phone i get error "Waiting for device"
My debbugin is on, and I turned of my firewall is there something else i need to do to get Rooting Right ?
Thx

You can safely update to 2.3.4 and then root using one of these guides:

Thx
That second link for update to 2.3.4 GingerBread works 100% on my LG Optimus 2x ?
EDIT : Can i get link for updating my LG from Froyo 2.2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.4 , safetly

It should work, follow the guide to the letter and you should have rooted your phone.
Here's your link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929

Wait
First link is for Rooting phone
Second is for update to Gingerbread
Third is for Rooting phone on Gingerbread ?

No, the first three are all for rooting
The fourth one is for updating manually to GingerBread

Ok .. soo first i Root my phone by one of that 3 links and then i update to Gingerbread (4th link) ?

The other way around
If you first root and then update, you might lose your root, so...
First update then root.
By the way: After you root, do you want a stock LG rom or a custom one...?

Explame me what that means xD

Haha ok
Stock LG rom is just the normal rom from LG you have right now but then a little improved (removed unnecessary software and apps). Normally the people who like the looks of the stock rom choose Stock-based roms.
Custom roms are roms completely different than LG. They look different and they have different apps/software. Most people out here prefer custom roms like CyanogenMod or MIUI. I prefer CyanogenMod too because it's in my opinion overall better than stock rom.
You can find these roms in the development section. The reason why I asked you this is because if you want to have a custom rom, you don't need to update to 2.3.4. You just can root 2.2 and flash one of these custom roms over it. This will automatically update your phone to GingerBread.

No I didn´t try OTA update . I bought LG 2 days ago soo kinda new here xD

Try one first,
go to settings ----> about phone ----> phone version (or something like that, not sure) and do the update from there. Trust me, this is much easier than the kdz method. If there is no OTA, then you should use the kdz method.

Well i did this metod to root my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
But how i can be sure that my phone is Rooted successfully ?

There are a lot of ways to check that. You can either look in your app list for an app called Superuser. If you have this app then you should have rooted successfully. But if you want to be 100% sure, download the root checker app and see for yourself .

Hey guys,
I just rooted my phone yesterday on stock 2.3.4 and got this annoying issue: Every time I shut down and restart my phone, some settings revert to default on their own. For instance, text input language becomes german (was the default language when I bought the phone), input text sounds are activated again, and so are mobile networks which I must disable quickly because they mean charges.
Could you please shed some light here? Thanks!

AFAIK, this is the only way... Because you have no OTA it seems that this is the only option. But I'm not sure about that.
My advice is to search, perhaps there is an easier way to do so.
EDIT: Download Rom Manager (app) and from there install ClockworkMod Recovery. With recovery you can flash a stock-based gingerbread rom on your phone! (how could I not think of that earlier ) make sure to do a nandroid backup in recovery mode.
EDIT 2: You might wanna try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408919
Flash this in recovery mode.

Or you can just go directly to the latest KANG-54 build. Android 2.3.7, very stable and smooth as butter.

So let me get this straight...

I recently upgraded my Note to official ICS (OTA) and I'm not liking it AT ALL! Now I really want to get far away from this update as possible and I'd like to switch to a CM9 nightly Rom. I've that now that I have upgraded to the official ICS Rom, I run the risk of super bricking my device. So now I ask you to help me make sure the following is correct so that I may move on from this wretched update:
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on original Samsung ICS
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on a original Samsung kernel??
Flash back to original Gingerbread Rom using odin BEFORE flashing to CM9
Flash to different kernel??
I've flashed millions of Roms but this one is scary and I just want to make sure haven't missed anything... Have I?
Thanks for you help!!
John J

Just flash a stock directly rootable GB rom, root and put CM9 on it. Then do a factory reset and you're good to go. Went that way few times already.

So is the super-brick BUG on the official ICS OTA?? OMG
And yeah go back to gingerbrear via odin, get root then flash any CM9 tru CWM no problems...

I'd like to do something similar to what the OP wants to do however I have rooted and installed CWM on an official/stock ICS rom. So if I wanted to flash back to a stock gingerbread rom would I need to remove CWM and/or un-root?

There is no need to unroot first. You can flash stock GB rom directly via Odin.

I've now flashed to GB but before I move on to a CM9 nightly, do you recommend I flash the CM9 kernel as well? Seems like it is not a prerequisite but I would like to make sure. Thanks.
John J

afaik, when flashing a CM9 Nightly, the eligible kernel is built in, so no need to flash anything but the ROM.
i'm on one of imilkas first CM9 port and it says [email protected] #1 under Kernel version in settings.

Yes. The correct kernel is included in the nightly.
