[Q] Q: How to root my new SGS 2.2

Hi everyone I have seached the forum and found some threats on this subject, but nothing that helped me.
PDA: I9000XWJPF
PHONE: I9000XXJPP

And my revovery is e3
I have tried One Click Root from XDA and z4root.
The One Click Root gives me the Verification error and the z4root just stalls..
Please help me. I want to apply lagfix and custom roms.

*facepalm*
you didn't read enough. There is TONS of info on how to root the Galaxy S.
First of all i suggest you change upgrade to a more recent ROM, such as JPY. Go to the General Section and a thread for JPY will be there, you can get Odin in that thread too or from the link in my sig. To root, all you need is Odin v1.7 and CF-Root, the thread is here: [21.12.2010][CF-Root v1.3] JPH/K/6/M/A/O/U/X/Y - su+busybox+2e, CWM compat!
You can't have 3e Recovery, CF-root will give you 2e.
OR you could simply flash a custom ROM and you'll have root pre-installed.

I saw that thread but i dont know witch file to download whit my fw specifications
Jess
It doesn't matter what firmware you have before, the only thing that does matter is the CSC, which contains countries' specific provider APN's etc, but it'll have the EU CSC so you should be fine. Get Odin v1.7 and flash JPY over, and then you can flash CF-Root or a Kernel like Hardcore's, to get Clockworkmod as well, in order to flash a custom ROM.
So as it is now i just use odin and flash lets say DocRom XXJPX ?

Would be better to flash stock JPY, use CF-Root and then flash Doc/Darky ROM.
Can you point me a link for such fw? The one that fit my current fw.

Shall i flash all the files? pda phone and so on?

Guy don't flash the JPY if you want to use GPS. After I flashed it on my German Galaxy S. It takes hours to fix the GPS and then you just get an accuracy (do I write it right?) of around 100 meters. Better use the JPX with JPA WiFi drivers.

Link? And am i still going to flash all files?

Lets see if we can complicate this further for this poor guy.
An easier approach if you don't want to touch your firmware is to flash a modified kernel. For example SpeedMod will give you root as well as other goodies (2e recovery, clockwork recovery, etc).

Download and flash it using ODIN (put the file into the PDA box).
This was what i was lookning for and after i have done this i can use costom roms with clockwork?

After I upgraded my Froyo 2.2 from JPA to FROYO.DXJPE I9000DXJPB I couldnt root using z4root at all. What can I do? The upgrade fixed my GPS problems tho. But my SGS Lags now. Help please. It also says my Recovery is 3e.
Want to jump in too...
I'm also interested in Darky's but did a fine job bricking my phone recently when I tried to flash to another firmware. So I need something like an idiot's/tech bimbo's guide...
My phone is the I-9000 international, running on official froyo 2.2, not rooted. Can someone kindly spell out the steps of exactly what I need to do? I came across many sites with incomplete information or even conflicting sequences when using Odin, so I'm a little paranoid about bricking my phone again. TIA.

[Q] Reverting back to stock.

Hello,
Recently I updated to doc's mod v11.1, but I want to revert my phone back to stock (just to learn). I want it to be exactly the same as when I received it. I bought my phone on december 2010 so I guess I'll need the Froyo 2.2.1 firmware. Some information:
It needs the European firmware including dutch language.
I need to revert CWM recovery again to stock recovery 2e/3e.
Anyone got some information on this and can give me the required information, because I am having trouble finding it. Like where to find the firmware (I read about samfirmware, but I can't find the appropiate firmware ;/) Thanks in advance!
Tbh information without the files is welcome too. All information is welcome since it can broaden my search. Thanks again

I've got stock kernel in my backups pile... can upload and then you can use it with GS kernel flasher. Can do it preferably by Dropbox.
As for un-rooting (if you want to lol) check out OneClickRoot or something like that by Shortfuse
Hi
Hey bro i read ur thread,, here i have a link to a video from youtube it says step by step how to do it,, ive done it also a few times. you have to make an account to the link that the video points.
sorry ive this account new, so i cant post links,, search on youtube for >>How to Flash A Galaxy S Phone back to Stock Froyo
from the account of > androidgalaxys

Alright thanks a lot! I'll take a look at the video when I come home.
At ravelair does the stock rom contains Dutch settings etc... or not?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
If you just install the stock rom with a wipe u can then choose dutch by language at the beginning. Im also from Dutch so ive done it also
Galaxy S
Alright thanks but can you tell me what version I need from samfirmware?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
It depends on which one you want , if you want to go to Froyo then u can choose just the modem u were at, otherwise u can just do the latest European Gingerbread

I have no clue which modem I was on... This is more of a test if my phone ever breaks down I can flash it back to custom and send it in for warranty so... wouldn't really matter ^^ If I flash Froyo or Gingerbread right now I guess... the method is the same just a different file. Anyways what modem do you suggest?
aha okee,, well I use now the latest Gingerbread, it's very fast and stable... and it's officially released in the Netherlands, so you can flash that one
Alright thanks can you provide me with a link since I don't want to flash the wrong image :x. Thanks for all your help!
Dutch: Bedankt man

Noprobs bro, if you've an account on samfirmware, just log in and choose samsung galaxy s i9000, there you can choose the European version from the beginning till rom 2.3.3 latest
Dutch Geen Dank ahah
Alright thanks. But the guide says I need 3 files... a CSC, PHONE and PDA. I can only find 1 file.. do I need to flash that one without the repartition checked?
hmm, you can flash back to 2.2.1 or JVB that has three files with 512 pit file and repartition, and then after that 2.3.3 jvh without re partition..

I already downloaded a 2.2.1 version and it contains 1 file.. not three... so that's kinda weird... It's 2.2.1 JPY and then I'll flash to doc's rom (which is JPY based) again....
I downloaded this one:
I9000XXJPY ## from this link:http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm
Do I need that one or another one? Thanks!
I just found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790686 is this also a legit way to do it ? Thx (by only doing the first section ofcourse)
You can download this one >>http://hotfile.com/dl/114645023/5ea002a/PDA_I9000XWJVB_-_PHONE_I9000XXJVK_-_CSC_I9000XEEJV3.rar.html
it has three files, flash it with 512 pit file plus repartition.
Alright thanks a lot! This just leaves one question will this also turn my ClockWorkMod in to recovery 2e? Or do I still need to do it manually?

root froyo.XFJP7

Hi, I want to root my phone with this detail
Build number : Froyo.xfjp7
please help me
change your kernel with speedmood froyo, galaxian kernel or other.
please search at i9000 android development section.
you will find there
Easiest root is cf-root. Closest to stock with root priveleges. Read cf-root thread to see which version to download.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda premium
I don't know which file should i download , please tell me the cf-root file name.
If you just want root to flash a rom you can load any of the froyo ones if you want to use it with your stock rom then you should a get the right one. Best is to read the thread. It seems fairly daunting as it seems like a lot but is quite simple if you read it.
Sorry I can't be more help but I would need to reread the thread to figure it out. .

Not able to update to 4.0.4

Hi.
My phone is running ICS 4.0.3 on SpeedMod k3-11 kernel, Baseband version N7000DDLP4.
Recently, the Indian Galaxy Note users recieved a ~100mb update to 4.0.4 but for some reason I am not able to download it. I've recieved the update notification 3 times but everytime I run it, it loads for a few seconds and then it says "No update found".
I have not been able to check update via Kies since my laptop is totally busted.
Could the problem be occuring cause I have a custom kernel installed? If so, I would really appreciate someone giving me the link to flash the stock kernel so i may upgrade to 4.0.4. (I have searched around but couldn't find it)
If its some other problem please do let me know too!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Since your laptop is busted, so you may use mobile odin to flash stock kernel, you can find kernel for your ROM in this thread- Kernel for your ROM is DDLPA one .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371007
If you are going to flash it with mobile odin then extract the .zip or .tar till you find zimage file without any extension and flash using mobile odin, thats how I do it. You can flash .tar too
