Look to my signature, you will find a link to downgrade (1 above last on signature)
Download it, n flash using PC Odin. That is pre rooted ROM
after this you can use Mobile Odin OR CWM to update ROM
Complete guide is on last link of signature.

[Q] How to get Android 2.2.1 update on Galaxy S

Hi,
I recently upgraded my Galaxy S to Android 2.2 via Kies... Now the Baseband Version is DDJP2... Is there anyway through which I can update it to 2.2.1 using KIES ?
I have not rooted my phone till now (and no idea on how to do that)... and no idea on Flashing the ROM as well...
Should I root my Phone and Flash the ROM? In that case, what will happen to existing data in the phone and apps ?
Also, need step by step guide to Root and Flash the ROM....
Which one is the most stable ROM for 2.2.1 ?
Any suggestions and thoughts?
P.S: I have been Symbian user for years... This is my first android phone... These questions may be basic...Pardon my ignorance...
Thanks,
Guru

Only if your network has it .

how to CWM on 2.3.5?

Newbie here
i got a galaxy S GT-19000, and updated it to 2.3.5 via KIES.
now i want to ROOT and install CWrecovery, but i dont seem to find guide on installing CWrecovery.
pls help
Just flash any kernel... Most of them give u root + cwrecovery...
I personally recommend semaphore kernel... U ll gets its thread in the development section...
First of all, wich 2.3.5 firmware is it?
you can check it on settings -> about phone, look at the baseband version.
Check it out and when you find out you can go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
when you get there, hit ctrl+f and type in the three last letters in your baseband version.
and follow the guide on that thread!
Hope this helps!
Edit: or do as sbnaul, would recommend semaphore over plain cf-root.
pls can u tell which version of ODIN flasher to use?
Use Odin 1.82

[Q] Root XXLA6 question

Hi all.
Finally got a Note and love it, but while I wait for official ICS here in the UK, I'd like to keep stock 2.3.6 GB but safely root it.
There's so much info here, it makes me a bit nervous in-case I pick the wrong method.
I have this:
https://www.box.com/s/1dfacc6107713602d2e8
and would like to know what method I should use to root.
Thanks

Use Dr. Ketan's method!
Go here and follow the instruction for your Rom.
Edit: Just saw your picture, you have LA4 not LA6 on your device, that means that you can flash a Direct Rootable Rom!
Thanks for the reply but I'm a bit confused, my Note shows Build: GINGERBREAD XXLA6 as does the Kernel, so are you saying that it's the Baseband version : N7000XXLA4 that I should be paying attention to?
Also according to Kies it's PDA:LA6 / PHONE LA4 / CSC LA1 (XEU)
yes la4 is the rom version you are using, you will need to downgrade to be able to root
which rom do you suggest I downgrade to and still allow update via Kies?
Will the downgrade via Odin up my flash counter and give me the triangle?

go look at the root thread, there is a link for kj1, which is non wipe rom so all your settings will stay in tact
no it wont give you the triangle because it is a stock rom

I bought the Galaxy Note N7000 yesterday and I have exactly the same android-, baseband-, kernel version and build number. The only difference is I'm from the Netherlands and using Vodafone.
Now I've been looking for a way to root it, but I also wondered which XXLA# I should use for it.. I saw the reply of the downgrade (ofcourse) but I am wondering: those r for Poland and Germany... Or doesn't that matter and I can root it anyway w/o bricking the phone?
Post november roms are difficult to root, best optuon is to go to pre december 2011 rom
Or go to ICS and use cwm. Zip and superuser. Zip method

Well yeah, I get that point, but the thing is: I'm kinda noob with this. To be honest: my roommates rooted my galaxy s for me, but they did it so fast that I didn't get half of what they did..
My eventual goal is to learn how to root a smartphone and upgrade mine to android ics. My current android version is an unrooted stock 2.3.6 and I wanna go for a rooted ICS, but I already start to wonder now if I can upgrade my phone to rooted ICS immediately from the 2.3.6... Could u guide me a little in this?
By the way: sorry if I ask some pretty obvious questions that might have already been answered elsewhere on the forum, but I have been looking all over the forum and just don't know which info I should use from which posts anymore..
If you want ics then it is very easy.
First flash ics and then root it., ics is directly rootable.
I recommend first hard reset on gb rom for clean installation.
All informatikn regarding ics update n root, u can find on first link on my signature.

Well, I thought the safest way to get me ICS on the phone was through updating with Samsung Kies. After this I was planning to put CWM in the folder sdcard/external_sd and Busybox on the internal sd, but...
I got it updated now, but I lost the folder external_sd.. I can't create a new folder with this name either.. I don't actually have an external SD card, but if I remember it well, I didn't need it either. I have seen the folder external_sd for sure in there..
Edit: Bought an external sd card and did the root like u said, but without flashing back to GB. It worked! Thanks alot for the clear walkthrough! Hail dr. Ketan!

Thanks in advance.
Sorry for a noob question

You could progress from that by installing ROM Manager, installing CWM, then installing what ever ROM you like. Odining back to stock isn't required, but you can do it if you want. Personally:
Odin back to a GB rom with Bootloader from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Grab Corn Kernel or something for that version with CWM, Odin that.
Boot into CWM, flash whatever ROM you like.
