You should be able to take 05mountsd and 07app2ext from any ROM that supports App2Ext (take it from system/etc/init.d) and place it in system/etc/init.d, it should work, never tried though.

Thanks for you reply, i'm sorry that i new, i don't understand how can i do it, Would you mind to help tell me step by step?
Thanks
Its not that simple as in custom roms becoz you need to be able to run scripts from init.d folder for it to work. For that to work, we need to mod the mot_boot_mode file.
Which rom are you using ATM?

Link2SD is a great apps, but i wounder that why cannot read ext2 partition in my Milestone, is it my orginal ROM not support ext?
I have also heard from many people that the procedure mentioned in the link below works on most stock roms. You could try it out.
It doesn't work on the Arabic ROM, so dont try if you have installed that.

How can I root 2.3.3 JVH without flashing a kernel using ODIN.I don't want any custom kerner or ROM,just pure root.
Thanks

hey mate i also want this just got an sgs. i also want to fix the vodoo laggfix is that possible? i just want pure root also.
Try this app SuperOneClick Root
Read the post vand try it. It worked for me in froyo. It seems to have GB support now.
Good Luck
You can't. If you don't want a custom kernel you're out of luck. Making your own rooted kernel is easy enough, there are instructions on this forum.

No way
So seems no way to do that, We had things like Z4Root but I can't see if that is updated or used anymore. There should be a way, just simply to root nothing else.
Anybody any ray of hope still, as in first post, I am looking for pure root without flashing anything?

Z4Root doesn't work on 2.3.3 anymore, you should really try to root using SuperOneClick or flash a custom kernel.
But why do you not want to flash a kernel? In the end it only impoves the phone

I'll try super one click. Thanks.
Well it's simple, I am more or less happy with stock kernel so don't want to flash anything.If SuperOneClick fails then I know I have to flash a kernel.
If I go for a kernel, which one should be the best in your opinion?
please reply here if superoneclick worked for you! thanks
I've never heard that GB could be rooted without flashing a kernel. Just use i.e. cf-root which is stock added with root

No I'm talking about taking the stock kernel, ripping it apart, adding you're own su, reassembling it, then flashing it. Best way to do it because you know exactly what you're getting.

Which CF-ROOT?
Guys,
I am not comfortable with super one click, I am looking for CF-ROOT but could figure out which one to use,
This is what I am running at the moment:
2.3.3 XWJVH XEN,baseband:XXJVO.
Can anybody point me to correct CF-ROOT version to use, I found one to root JVH but it's for NEE version and I doubt if that's correct.
I appreciate any help.Thank you. Any body from Nederland, experienced with CF-ROOT, please share.
Only way to root 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 is with cf-root. Super one click and all others don't work.

To be clear, the only way to root 2.3.3/4+ is to use a custom kernel. CF-Root (specifically) isn't necessary. As I said you can make your own rooted kernel easily enough. I'd recommend doing it this way so that you can learn how to root future roms yourself, breaking the dependency on having someone else do it.
According to instructions given how to root yourself, you need to have Linux kernel installed. What with us who are using Windows OS?
For Linux: Ubuntu is piece of cake to install and Cygwin is solid on windows.
Anyways: I rooted using CF-Root, it worked good. No super one click or etc. CF-Root is actually a stock kernel with root installed and some good tweaks so no worries.

Install VirtualBox, grab Ubuntu 11.04 from http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/.
Or install ubuntu "in windows" using the ubuntu wubi installer which comes on the live CD.
Or use cygwin.
Tried superoneclick. Doesnt' seem to work. The program just freeze or not responding.
Why not flash cfroot or speedmod with autoreboot unticked(cfroot will install automatically root but delete boot sound,speedmod will leave it be but root have to be installed in the recovery menu).
So,for speedmod:flash it autoreboot unticked,pull off battery when done,boot in recovery,install busybox and su in recovery,reboot into download and flash your stock kernel.(perka file stash site have a nice collection of stock kernels).
Hey
Is there a way to get it done like in CM7? Can't seem to find the option to do that... is the only way to cwm flash the icon file?

Well, I'm using a stock ROM, with CF customer kernel with CWM, and then cooked my own stuff with the UOT kitchen, with nice icons (battery included) and stuff like that. You can always try that if you have a full nandroid backup!
Do you have extracted files which need to be uploaded in UOT Kitchen. I used create my own as well but using an option to choose from list of ROMs there. Now there is no option to pick Samsung KKA ROM. Or have I missed anything? Thanks
Hi everyone,
My dad has a Galaxy Ace and is wanting to use flash on the web. The only solutions I can find need root/custom roms, and he wants to keep his phone stock...
I know this is a long shot, but are there any ways to get flash working on his phone while keeping it stock?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

One version you can install like normal app
I appreciate the help, but (unless I misread somewhere) I think you still need root for that as it needs a file to be copied with root explorer...
U dont need to root it
just install normally apk that guy above gave u
astro file manager doesnt need root and works just as well as root explorer now.
But the post says that I need to copy the lib folder and set its permissions, I thought you needed root to do this :S Are you saying I can just install the APK and the lib file is not needed?
Sorry if I'm being thick and overlooking the obvious ;-)
Dude just google " flash 10.2 for arm 11 devices xda developers.com" ..download 10.2 its pretty good..ohh wait i think u require to be on a custon rom 2b able to use it..but i think it should work in stock rom too...anyway you cant have your cake and eat it too...just root the phone or be flash-less XD XD

Excellent! That seems to be the answer, I'll try it out later...
I would flash a custom ROM and root personally, but it's my Dad's phone, and he's scared that I will break it if I do stuff like that, so he wants to keep it stock...
Ohh cum on dude...flashing roms is as easy as ABC ..(if u follow the instructions that is )..i m yet to come across anyone in this forum u follwed the instructions and screwed his phone..

Hi
Well There is A Version Of FlashPlayer on XDA for Stock Rom.
Download and Install.
Hello people,
This has without a doubt been asked before but I haven't been able to find an answer. My problem is this:
A while back I flashed the then latest available version of the MIUI.us ROM for my international SGS i9000. Everything went fine with the flashing; I had to flash the ROM four times in part due to the new CM10 partition layout. Since the flashing was done late at night, I turned my phone of and plugged in the charger for it to charge during the night. The next day when I tried booting it up, the phone never got beyond the kernel screen. I didn't pay to much attention to this since I already had been thinking about flashing the CM10 ROM anyway and this seemed like a good time to do so.
I saw no other solution to escape the bootloop but to go back to stock (2.3.3 for my region) and then root the phone again (CF's method) and proceed with flashing my ROM of choice. I did not use a PIT-file in going back to stock. I flashed stock using ODIN v1.7 (I think). My computer at the time was running 64-bit Windows 7. The stock ROM I used, I found on a stock ROM collection thread here on XDA since the stock ROM from sammobile.com only got stuck in bootloop already at the first boot up after the flash with ODIN was complete.
Next I flashed the M2-version of the CM10 ROM and everything went fine. Since my phone already had the new partition layout from previously having flashed the MIUI.us ROM, I only needed to flash the CM10 ROM once.
The CM10 ROM worked like a dream for about two weeks. I stayed on the M2 during this time. After two weeks though, my phone again got stuck in bootloop unable to get beyond the kernel screen. Again it had been turned off and plugged to the charger during the night preceding the bootloop; a thing very common in my use case.
In neither of the cases did I change anything about the ROM I flashed; no custom kernels, no custom modems, everything was as it came with the ROM.
My question then is this:
What do I have to do in order to avoid ending up in bootloop again?
My thought was that I should return to stock and do everything from scratch again but this time use a PIT-file in order to make things "the right way". The thing is that half the flash-guides say one should use a PIT-file and the other half advice you not use a PIT-file since this would increase the risk of bricking your phone. Is there any point in using a PIT-file when flashing the stock ROM since flashing the CM10 ROM would change the partition layout anyways?
Am I taking the wrong approach to this? I really liked CM10 and would like to try out the stable version.
Sorry for the very long post.
Thanks in advance.
The pit file contains information about the partition layout. When you go back to stock from JB, you should use it. Try again going to stock with pit file and then flashing cm9 and then cm10. This way is the safest.

I just got to thinking. As you might have heard the CM-team changed the partition layout after a certain version of their CM10 release. When going from Stock to CM9 and then to CM10 is it all right if I flash the stable version of each release or should I go from Stock to CM9 to CM10 pre-partition layout change to CM10 post-partition layout change?
Also: should I prefer the Stock ROM found at sammobile.com or are the files found on this thread better?
Thanks in advance.

Aight! Will try that out and see what happens. Thanks again for your reply. Btw, should I go with the CM9 stable or the CM9.1 stable? Maybe it doesn't matter in my case since CM10 stable is the final aim of the project? As I understand it CM9.1 stable is only a maintenance release?

Well I finally had time to flash my phone. I flashed stock using the 512 PIT-file. Then I flashed CM9.1 stable and finally CM10 stable; like you advised me to. The only problem when flashing stock was that the single-file stock ROM found on sammobile.com does not seem to work for me; I get stuck in bootloop when I flash this file (doesn't matter if I use a PIT-file or not when doing so). I tried using the three-file stock ROM found on the XDA forums (with PIT) and this time it worked. Other than that everything went fine. I hope the post-flash bootloop phenomenon I've experienced earlier does not appear again.
One more thing: I also flashed the 4.2 keyboard with the swype-like function through recovery [Android4.2_Keyboard_v2_gnufabio.zip]. How do I go about uninstalling it?

You'll have to extract the cm10 keyboard apk from the cm10 zip file and put it in /system/app folder.
Tip: If you don't like cm10 or want something cool, then you can download flash another JB ROM, eg Slimbean, C-Rom, Remics-JB, X-bean etc.

To answer my own question: apparently the multi-file ROM found at sammobile.com is meant to be used with Heimdall. But as I understand it Odin is better for going back to Stock WITH re-partiotion (PIT-file). Am I wrong?

I find CM10 to be awsome. As I understand it basically *all* other ROMs are based off of CM. Out of the alternative ROMs you mentioned I would probably try out X-Bean and Slim Bean; I really like the look and feel of Vanilla Android. One thing I do miss in CM10 is the kill all button in the task manager. And that apps really close and release their memory when I close them.

I am not sure, but i think that when you installed the 4.2 keyboard, it replaced the aosp one, so you wil have to open the CM10 zip file, find the aosp keyboard .apk and put it on your phone in /system/app and then set the permissions accordingly.
Regarding other ROMs, yes they are based off cm10, but some people say cm10 is a bit slow so they prefer other versions, some with extra feautures, themes or removed things.

Nope, both are still there. The main reason I would like to uninstall the 4.2-version is because the swype functionality only supports English (I'm multilingual). I was hoping I wouldn't need to install the Swype keyboard if the 4.2 stock keyboard worked completely with all my preferred languages. No need to have an extra keyboard installed if I'm not gonna use it.

Out of X-Bean and Slim Bean which one would you recommend and why? What are you running yourself? I don't know why but it just *feels* like CM10 is more stable (although, admittedly, I haven't tried any of the ROMs you listed). I guess in a way CM10 is the Official Custom ROM with the most up-to-date developer support. For instance CM10 went to Android v4.1.2 quite a while ago (when compared with other ROMs). When it comes to CM10 being a bit slow, lets face it; the i9000, although being a very good phone, is more than two years old at this point.

If both are there then delete the 4.2 apk and reboot your system. I dont think there is a way to uninstall it.
I use Remics-JB because of the S3 look. X-bean and slimbean are from the top of my head,both of them are focused on speed. There are many more, choose the one you like.

Flashing a zip just places some files in some directories. When you flashed the keyboard, all it did was copy the apk to /system/app.
Delete it and you should be OK.

Seems about right. I can't figure out which apk it is though. None of the ones listed has a name even suggesting it is a keyboard.
Open the keyboard zip you flashed and check the name of the apk
