[Q] unrooting issues

hey all,
im having some issues with unrooting my I9000
i had a rooted 2.1 eclair device wich i updated to 2.2 now i cant root or unroot it anymore. tried aplying the update.zip wich gave me signature verification error and the one click root/unroot doenst even do anything (unless startup then)
do i need to reset the original firmware back again or is there a solution ?

Did you root it again after you get 2.2? that's why you wanna unroot?? My understanding is that once you flash the firmware, the root is gone too.

nope my phone was rooted when i updated it but after the update apps said that it wasnt rooted anymore, so i tried rooting it again, that didnt work and the kernel version says root so that why i want to unroot, i want root 2.2

solved
installed SuperOneClick root and it worked thanks anyways

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..

W8 formatted what now?

hi all i just recently formatted my bricked phone though the PCC method ..and now everything is back to stock now ..so my root acces is gone , my link2sd and it's app is gone , my xrecovery is gone , rom is gone , cmw gone cause no mod all things root based is gone so ...basically how can i recover them? must i do everything back? from root to xrecovery(since these 2 are most important)? i heard i cant flash my phone through the link

i understand it but it seems that i followed it indirectly ..since i used the pcc method instead of his ...so is there another way to flash?

If you had saved backup with xRec or CWM, install them again and restore it. Or you can set up everything again from the beggining but it will take you some time.

betta to do it again,root with superoneclick

well..if u want to use custom ROMs again, then yes, you must start from rooting again. everytime you fix your phone through PCC/SEUS/flashtool, ur phone become like new, just the way u bought it.

Oh wait ... this is a W8?
This is the first time you mentioned this bit of info.
Well ...
You can flash your W8 with Flashtool as well - the difference to the regular E15i/E15a Xperia X8 is that the W8 comes with a slightly different ROM (aka "Walkman") and a re-versioned baseband ("E16"). Otherwise the two devices are identical twins.
This little difference is ONLY of any importance if you would want to have exactly the W8 Stock ROM version back. Since your goal is to flash FroyoPro anyway, it doesn't matter to flash back the normal X8 ROM (others actually re-flashed their phone from a W8 to a X8 to get rid of the "Walkman" parts of it).
That being said - I can't recall I ever saw a Flashtool image of the W8 stock firmware.
Anyhow, now that you got the phone recovered with PCC just grab Flashtool and start at the rooting step onward to a) root the phone, b) inject xRecovery and c) flash FroyoPro.

Thanks ya but can I flash using my w8 since my neo locked my comp with pw

Followed step by step and stuck again with eclair...

hi guys, i have some issues during installation process. when i try to install any ROM it just dont accept it. ive followed exact instructions and checked for my version, baseband, rooted, installed xrecovery, wiped data, install rom, again full wipe and again it seems that doesnt work. i checked also for requirements, i have unlocked bootloader, have stock kernel but no lucky at all. im desperate, i dont wanna to stuck again with eclair because its poor in comparation with >2.2. i havent mentioned that earlier about 3 months ago i succed to install gingerv20 without any problem but now i cant. pls help

If you have unlocked your bootloader then why are you on stock kernel?? :what:
Flash the correct & latest nAa or alfs kernel and then the corresponding compatible rom.
Also don't do full wipe AFTER you have flashed the rom!!

U are not mentioning that u have installed a kernel with flashtool. If you are using a Rom which requires custom kernel then you have to flash first it with flashtool

You better use cwm instaid of xrecovery. If you have indeed unlocked your bootloader then you can install the kernel with flashtool and the cwm will be included. Also as i have already told you see what kernel the rom works with!

hey guys, when i choosed what rom i will download, in requrement said that will work with stock kernel and i didnt flashed it. but before that rom i flashed it with flashtool to try others and also didnt work...im not that noob, i can read but im sure that i srewed something up...i'll continue to try and i'll let u know have i succed...tnx anyway

After many roms tryed i finally succed to install 'Update-GingerElite.V2', and i didnt FULL WIPED after installing it as ''cdeox8'' said, and he was right. In requrements just said that that need to be rooted, Baseband 015, Sony Ericsson Stock Kernel and that was true, but i tryed few of roms who required same things but they didnt work. Anyway im not gonna to risk anymore with roms, i like this GingerElite so im gonna keep it for the moment. When i buy other phone im goona make some experiments tnx guys anyway
