Or what they would like to say... "We have a fix for your silly root so we can continue to charge for hot spotting which should be free. Also Lowell only made 7.1 million last year with stock options. How is he to feed his family on that?"
Ungrateful customers... This business would run so much smoother with out you.
Don't see any point in updating due to losing root and because there's no Devs around to even make a ROM for V9.
What about the OTA rootkeeper app? I used it on my tablet to keep root
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
never tried it.. The OTA hasn't come to me yet but I will test what current methods out there will work. Chances are the OTA Rootkeeper is probably the same thing that was first tried when going from V7 to V8 with the local.prop file but we shall see.
yeah i backed up my root on it to see if it would, and it did. im not gunna update though without an overclocked kernal

Is there a good way to block the update?
I don't care about the V9 update and want to keep root on V8. Is there a good way to do that? I remember that freezing the OTA module was one way to do it, but I'm hoping that someone that really knows what is best will offer some advice.
V9 does break root initially but just run the exploit from djrbliss for the LG Esteem and it works fine. Maybe have to re-install certain apps like Root Explorer and SetCPU..

Does mt's zv8cmwrecovery.bat work for installingcwm after using the esteem root method?
I just froze the updater to keep from using from v7 to v8. No issues doing that, except when I went to unfreeze the app I found out that I had to purchase ROM toolbox to get that feature. But it's all good, I like to help the cause

Has anyone experienced trouble with toggling Bluetooth when the Software Update app is frozen? Mine won't toggle on unless I thaw the app. If any of you have managed to freeze the app and keep your Bluetooth working, can you let me know what app you're using to freeze/thaw?
Same issue here, but I don't really use bluetooth.

I froze software update with Titanium Backup and have not yet had any BT problems. I use stereo headphones.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
I spoke too soon. My BT was on before freezing update and it stayed on. I just toggled it off and now won't turn on, even in settings. Will try to unfreeze update to try to repeat.
Ok, just defrosted software update, started bluetooth, refroze update, and can use bluetooth without issue.
You may have to keep BT on all the time while having update frozen.

Easy. Open Titanium Backup, Go to "Backup/Restore", Click to edit filters, enter Software Update then Apply. Touch the Software Update app then select Freeze. Done.
Remember to have Bluetooth running before freezing update and don't turn it off. Also, I think you need TB Pro to defrost but you may be able to freeze/defrost with something else like Rom Toolbox.
Thanks dadecamp for posting the method for freezing the OTA updater. I was able to stop it at 87% ;-)
Bluetooth has stopped toggling for me also, but since I never use it I'm OK with that.

I actually didn't upgrade market this way but it got updated on it's own but reverted back to original market because it wouldn't let me upgrade or download new apps it would say it download it but it would never install them. So for now I'll be sticking to the old market. In case you want the old market pull it from stock rom or a rom like plainjane and then replace it and delete the market updater this will let you keep the market without it getting updated.

Hi guys.
I have my captivate running froyo. that's about all I know, though. I was hoping someone could tell me what rom I am running or distro I am running, because I am clueless. I have heard cognition is good, and if I can update to it without losing all my settings I will (assuming I dont have it now. I could, like i said, clueless.). Here is what my phone says in the about phone section:
Firmware version: 2.2
Model number SAMGSUNG-SGH-I897
Baseband version: I897UCJI6
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee(at)sep-11 #1 (sorry for wording it this way, i could not post the topic with the at symbol because it thought it was an outside link)
Build Number: FROYO.UCJI6
ok, that's everything I think. Now, if someone can help me root this version, that's just dandy. If not, I would be willing to update to one that has a viable root availible for it already. I had eclair rooted before updating to froyo, and I miss my wifi tethering and backups.
Thank you in advance to anyone who offers help, I greatly appreciate it.
Hey I'm sorry I can't really help you, but I'm running the eclair rooted and I've been trying to get wifi tethering working but it just force closes everytime. If you could let me know how you were able to do it or point me in the right direction I'd be forever grateful.

There is a basic no frills froyo rom in the developement section. I believe its ji6 optimized or something like that. It comes with 2e recovery and root access built in. Sorry I just log off my computer otherwise I would post you links. But backup with tibu. And take a look at that rom in the developement section. You will need rom manager from the market. But after downloading ji6 optimized,copy to your internal sd card. Then open rom manager and select install rom from zip. Select the froyo rom and follow instructions. You will then have a rooted froyo minus att bloat with flash.
I would give more detail but I have thumb cramps now lol. But tomorrow I can help if u need it.

Got the stock kernel from the latest LG/Verizon update V9.
Enjoy!!!!!
Download
Instructions: Download, boot cwm, flash, roboot, cook dinner, shower, do some laundry, save the world..... :victory: Have fun!!!!!!
## REMEMBER: give things time to settle. Things will get better, with the exception of horse power
NOTE: installation will wipe dalvik-cache. First boot will be looooooooooong, and mostly blank. Don't get scared. The stock 4G boot ani plays then screen goes blank for looooooooooooooong boot. Working on the boot ani thing.
****Any issues, Holla****
Edit: for some unknown reason, at least to me, your boot ani will be erased. Reinstalling does not work. Working on fix.
Edit: super user might have issues after installation. CWM 6.0.1.1 detected the error and corrected it for me. If you don't get an error on 'su' from cwm, then just reboot like normal and you 'may' have to reroot. easy work-around for now Does not affect cwm..
I haven't tried it but I aim to. Getting rid of the stock boot sound (annoying and obtrusive) would be great! Thanks for sharing your work.

Not sure if this is an isolated incident but after using this stock kernel, I got Superuser (Elite installed) lockup and FC'ing. I couldn't get any root app to work. SU binary is latest v3.1.1 (17). I reverted to my latest BO v2.0 nandroid and all is fine again.
Only recent change I could think of prior was an updated Root Explorer which was coincidentally the first root program I attempted after. It err'd saying it was waiting for SU access and needed to be restarted, but that changed nothing. Neither did clearing SU and SU Elite data.
