I updated to froyo 2.2 (leaked version) on my samsung captivate, and I was wondering if there was a possible way to downgrade back to 2.1.
*The only reason im not liking froyo 2.2 at the moment i cant seem to learn our find out how to root it...
Wanted to root to rom a custom rom?
"noobie question"--> if i was to downgrade to 2.2 back to stock 2.1 and root it to have super user, i could then be able to install a custom rom? OR what would other people suggest doing?
Could someone point me in the right way with a link or two maybe, or some suggestions?
bummmpppp! this is all so new to me!
Here's a link to the SuperOneClick to root and enable non-market apps.
And here's a thread for new captivate users.
You might have an easier time finding answers in the Captivate forum.

Thanks so much for these thinks, I can use this SuperOneClick user on my Captivate with froyo 2.2 correct?
I like the froyo 2.2 just couldnt figure out how to get superuser, im trying to install a custom rom on it, never done it before just wanted to try one out and see! New to all this so probably have more questions haha !
Also another noobie question(s).
What does "flashing" mean?
lol
You have to be rooted to have superuser privileges.
Flashing a phone rom is like installing a new OS on a PC. Be careful on doing so and watch some videos and read up on it if you get brave to try flashing custom roms onto your device. Usually ppl use a windows app called Odin to do so. Make sure phone always charged 100% before flashing any new rom also. It could mess up battery stats otherwise and could risk brick if its almost dead then dies LOL. Assuming that's the context of flashing you meant.

Flashing in simple terms means to install a new OS version/Updates/Themes etc on the phone. The most common method found here in XDA is to use something called as Clockwork Recovery Mod.
Seriously, go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364 you will know what you need to do to flash a custom ROM. And may I suggest Firefly 2.1 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914284 as your first ROM. It is a good ROM. You will enjoy it. There are some other ROMs, if you ask which is the best, clearly there is none, it is purely on preference. Once you have flashed one ROM, and then a few, you will know which one you like.
1. installing a custom rom does not require a rooted phone, you can copy the update.zip to your sdcard and get into recovery, select the custom rom zip file and flash from there.
2. have you flashed a bios on a computer? flash a phone's rom is very similar to that.
UPDATE: 27/11/11
I have started a thread in the development section that contains all this information, please leave any findings or questions there, I believe members will find it more helpful there.
The thread can be found here
I have removed the file links from the OP to stop any confusion in the future. All files can be found in the other thread where it will be maintained and updated (if necessary) in the future.
Thanks for reading.
UPDATE: 27/11/11
Andrew_Low has provided a copy of his stock FROYO backup, which I tested on my tab and confirm that it is working. The kernel is rooted, other than that it is a clean ROGERS rom.
He was also able to capture the GINGERBREAD update, (which I have not tested as of yet, any testers please post your results) this is the stock update available from KIES.
Many thanks to him for this, if it helps you, hit his thank you button[/URL]. If you find this thread helpful as well, hit my thank you button.
Instructions on flashing are not provided. If you need these files it means you know how to flash your device, have flashed a custom ROM previously, and require this to return to a stock state.

Not an easy ROM to find is it?
Anybody ?
Any fresh ROGERS tabs out there???
I just picked up a used Galaxy Tab that has this firmware on it. I'm not new to hacking Android devices, but the Tab is new to me.
I haven't installed Kies yet, but will in a couple of days and can make a backup.
That would be just great, thank you very much, and I assure you that you will be glad that you made a backup for yourself as well in the future (hopefully not though, I don't expect you to have problems or anything like that but you know what I mean).
If possible, can you make the backup before you root the device, otherwise it seems to be a bit of a headache trying to get it un-rooted after the fact.
Many thanks.
EDIT: I guess i'm thinking more of a temp root than a perm root before backup
Sigh, I'm in noobville here with Kies.
Cross booted to Windows XP (I normally use Linux as my desktop) - installed Kies and sorted out USB connectivity.
I don't see where in Kies I can do a firmware backup. The backup just grabs the user data from the device.
It detects my firmware version and offers me the chance to update (which I assume would be a bad idea). Quickly looking on the net, you can 'capture' the firmware files during an update - but that doesn't help grab the version I'm running. Seems there may be a registry hack that lets you install older versions in Kies? If that's true, why can't anyone with a Rogers tab just get the old firmware easily?
Looking for a bit of hand holding.
Oh yeah, and device is bone stock. I'll likely root, unlock and install CyanogenMod - but I'm in no rush. Happy to try to help capture the stock ROM. It may help me out in the future, you never know.
Search for Roto-backup, it is a way to back it up bit by bit. It's a thread by Rotohammer, using his technique members were able to provide UN-ROOTED firmware, which are posted in the dev section. Have a little read see what you think.
The Roto-backup link was helpful, but that requires rooting.
Here's what I've done. Starting with a bone stock, factory reset device. I rooted the device using SuperOneClick 2.2. Sadly I had to run this under Windows to get it to work, mono + Ubuntu didn't seem to work out
I used the default "auto" method of rooting with SuperOneClick, and I did install busybox. In theory - if you really wanted to have an un-rooted stock, you could use the Unroot option of SuperOneClick.
Then I used the roto-backup script. This seems to have worked and I've got a 250MB zip file that I believe contains the stock firmware.
Are you brave enough to test it?
Files were zipped into a single file then split into chunks using RAR to get around upload limits. Grab them from skydrive.
Nice. I have a backup I came across but it's screwy and can't be un-rooted. The root method you used was temporary or perm?, the difference would be one disappears after a reboot.
When I originaly did my backup I used a temp root and came up with a file that I'm pretty sure was about the same size.
Brave you ask? I'm downloading the 3 RARs right now and will check it out.
Many thanks, will flash and tell you how it goes.
Well, Andrew_Low, it worked like a charm. The flash went smooth I will attempt to un-root shortly, and tell you how it went.
Glad it worked. Let me know if unroot via SuperOnClick 2.2 goes ok.
Why do you want non root? Warranty claim?
Slightly off topic, what ROM would you recommend? Seems any AT&T compatible ROM should play ok on the Rogers tab. I'm partial to CM being that's what is on my phone.

It is for warranty reasons, I have two tabs one was acting up. I did re stock it and sent it back but I wasn't able to un-root so I'll see if it goes through with samsung.
I HAD my stock rom that I somehow deleted (or just misplaced, cause I can't find it anywhere) Then I figured that I am not the only one who may need this, and since it is harder to find, I thought that I would try and help out the P1000R folks by getting a stock rogers rom for those who would like to revert. I was going to wait until I receive my tab back and see what they did to it and maybe have a fresh rogers rom on it to backup. I plan on posting it for members to have.
Our Rogers tabs are great for flashing anything on it really (p1000 related of course). Currently I have BOCA on mine, I had HC RC1 on it previously for a good little bit, and was going to put the ICS alpha build on it, but now since I'm left with one I use it for business purposes and require full functionality out of it. The tab that I sent back had OVERCOME KRATOS on it. Funny enough, this tab is the one that i'm always flashing different roms on and overclocking and plain old abusing it yet it was the other one that crapped out.
I recommend the OVERCOME rom as it is very stable, fast and reliable with almost no bugs. Combined with the bell modem it could also be used for phone calls if necessary. But experiment with any one you want until you find one that suits your needs, I found both my tabs hard to brick so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. I can't wait for an ICS beta rom to stick on this one.
Cool. I'm interested in a clean stock ROM if one shows up, please post to this thread. I'll try the unroot and see if that works for me.
Open to pointers on how to soft root and capture ROM. Seems feasible, but I didn't find a way to soft root and give me enough to roto backup.

Can't folk use the 2.3 firmware from kies? I haven't tried, but if you flash the rooted UXJJ6 from this thread then use Kies to upgrade to 2.3 you'd be in an unrooted stock state.

Hmm, very interesting. I ran the unroot on my device and it did manage to remove the superuser apk, but beyond that the device appears to still be rooted - busybox is still installed, and when I shell in over adb I get the # indicating root access.
I suspect just removing the superuser app is enough to make it appear 'as stock' - but any expert digging into the device and it's easy to see things are not stock.
If I were to try again - seems zergRush may be the local root you want to use, then from there figure out how to backup the ROM.
[edit] Ooh... reboot and adb has lost the # - I still see busybox installed in /system/xbin/busybox - I suspect this is pretty close to 'stock' if I punt the /system/xbin stuff entirely.
I'm not sure I'm that motivated to chase this further - I can't guarantee it is 100% stock, and it's the same as dl'ing the files I previously uploaded and running SuperOneClick 2.2 unroot + removing the busybox stuff as I specified above. The only mystery here is really what causes adb to have root privs when rooted.
Sweet - appears I was able to grab the ROM from Kies during the 2.3 upgrade - so I've got a copy of the clean/stock Rogers GINGERBREAD.UXKG1 firmware.
Will upload and link here in the next couple of days.
Very sweet, I will post it in the OP for reference.

Hi guys.
I want to get into rom flashing, but to be honest I find it rather confusing to say the least.
It would appear that ROM manager seems to be the easiest way to flash my phone correct?
Am I right in saying that all I need to do is download whichever rom I wish to install, rename it to "install .zip", put this file on the internal SD (not quite sure where exactly), then use ROM manager to flash, then it's done?
Is this the safest way of doing a flash?
Sorry for the noob questions.

I thought ROM manager took all that out of it. All you need to do is make sure your on latest CWM (which is does for you before you can download, i believe) and then you pick your download. Once it finishes it asks you whether you want to install and it does it all for you...
There is no "safe" way to flash. Something can always go wrong. I advise you follow the directions on the threads of your chosen rom. That way you can learn of the current bugs, the best way to flash based on your current situation (GB, Stock, another ICS etc) and what you may need to do before hand e.g. wipe/factory reset
If you have any questions on a particular installation method search the forum and the thread. If you cant find it then ask within the thread of your chosen rom.
Usually if its another rom i believe the best thing to do is wipe/factory reset from recovery menu and then choose zip from sd card. (But you still shoud read the first 2 pages and last 3 pages of the thread)

What is the CWM, and why do I need that?
CWM = colockworkmod. Its basically the a new recovery menu that gives you more freedom to what you can do whilst in the menu. You have it on non-rooted devices (stock firmware/samsung firmware) but as i said it provides more freedom. I believe almost every rom uses a version of it, either adapted or not.
Im not sure you will be able to use ROM manager on a device that is not yet rooted (rooted means you have administrative privileges like in windows). You will need root access as you will be changing the system files which if done incorrectly will cause something to go wrong. Which is why you wish to use ROM manager. TBH is very hard to do something wrong with the SGS and not be able to come back from it to have a fully capable phone again.
Don't rush into anything though. Don't root or flash anything without knowing the risks and what could happen, and in-turn what needs to be done to correct it. If you know this then usually you will understand what went wrong and how to fix it.
Sorry for leaving all these long messages, just trying to be clear
First, I'd like to thank you for plenty of useful resources I found here...
I just got a new Ace S5830i, but the problem is that it's has a kind of carrier-specific rom (with 2.3.6), full of useless and annoying stuff that is difficult to remove. I managed to root it and thought about flashing some custom rom like CyanogenMod but it seems that there are no versions for the S5830i
So my question is if you know any clean stock firmware that would run smoothly on that device. I was looking for something from European region and I found a stock Austrian firmware, but the endings do not match my numbers (I have PDA: S5830iXXLC2, PHONE: S5830iXXLC1,CSC: S5830iPRTLC1, Product Code: GT2S5830OKIPRT; the rom is: GT2S5830OKIATO, PDA, CSC and PHONE with endings: XXLA4). Is that firmware still compatible? I think I will have to split the file (thanks to SplitFUS2) and flash it via Odin, but I was wondering if flashing just the PDA part would do the job, if I only want to have a clean Gingerbread installation for this phone and not to change anything else.
I have made backups in CWRecovery and for Odin, but I'd prefer not to brick that new toy
Are you talking about AOSP or just un-bloated?
For AOSP, nope not possible.
For un-bloated use an app like root explorer and go to system/app and delete the apps that you don't want.

I just wanted to remove the bloatware and managed to do it with Titanium Backup, so actually without flashing. But I'm still left with the annoying boot animation & sound...

Hey there,
I just got the S5830i myself aswell only to find that there's almost nothing in terms of custom firmware or whatnot that works with it right now, i'm interested in this Titanium Backup thing you used, is this it on the google play App Store that i'm seeing? (Apparently I can't link to outside places until after 10 posts...) It says you need to root the phone first, can you tell me how you did your S5830i please?
Also, what exactly did you do with Titanium Backup to improve the phone like removing what kind of apps / bloat?
Thanks in advance, anyone.
To root, copy 'update.zip' to sdcard (link below) then flash with default recovery.

Well you can remove the bootanimation if you hate it, even the sounds. Now that's the point where i like android the most.

Just to let you know, there are a lot of outdated guides and youtube vids on the internet that can damage your phone.
The safest is to follow the updated guides/roms/kernels here that have been updated to get around dangerous operations.
All those reposts around the internet are not updated.
The other posters are right about the cwm.zip used for temp cwm recovery to gain root. That has been found to be unsafe in a russian-roulette way and you were quite lucky!

Well I guess I was lucky...just used it to get root privileges and have no plans of flashing anything or using any custom rom...I'm happy with the stock ICS rom that I have. If this is the case is there any danger that i could be facing in the future? What do you suggest I do since my phone is already rooted using this CWM.zip...any safe way of going back to stock and root again using a different process? I just signed in here today reason I am not aware of this issue. Thanks for the warning!
Lastly if I install busybox will that have any effect? Danger? Thanks so much guys! I'm really learning a lot from this forum.
if its rooted.. then dont do anything else other that installing a safe kernel like philz or hydracore. you can use mobile odin to change the kernel safely..

What if I choose not to install other kernels would there be any danger of this bug triggering even if I am not using cwm.zip other than the first time I used it for rooting?

most of the note chips are insane. even if you don't use temp Cwm, still doing factory reset on stock recovery or Cwm can be dangerous. that's why of on ics always go for a safe kernel,no need to worry if on gb

Let me just make it clear so if I change kernel like hydracore I'll be safe eventhough I'm rooted with cwm.zip??? If I change kernel what difference will it make on my phone? feautures, design, etc...? Thanks so much!
To answer your question why I would like to install BusyBox...isn't this a required install when your phone is rooted? Like titanium backup pro...it needs busybox right? that's why if you click on "problems?" it would install busybox but on its own directory not where it is supposed to install???
Sorry for all my crazy questions but you guys are of really BIG BIG help! Thanks so much!
Can't I just unroot and reroot?
no change when you install a kernel. just makes your phone safe for wipes and it installs a permanent CWM recovery. if you have survived using cwm.zip, probably you are fine.
when you install the custom kernel, you will be able to use TB..

I just downloaded GL_HYDRACORE_v7_STD.zip is this ok? Now just need to find an instruction on how I can install this kernel. I already installed my Mobile odin Pro v3.5...it's ok to flash this kernel on my stock ICS rom right? After flashing this kernel the cwm.zip issue will be gone right? Wheewwww...yesterday I was feeling good about me rooting my phone and all my battery issues and non-running apps issues went away...now I have this cwm.zip to worry about *sigh* do I really have to do this? LOL :laugh:
After installing this kernel I don't have to worry about installing BusyBox anymore? Wont my installed apps get affected by flashing a new kernel? Sorry about bugging you with all these questions just worried about ruining this phone as this phone has a sentimental value...I somehow regret rooting it...but my quest to solve my battery issue led me to this.
Anyways here's the result from my eMMC check last night

no kernel change will not have any effect on the apps.

what do I do if I do not have full root privileges after installing the kernel? (to many do's) LOL :laugh:
no it will. not remove root.
If you are using stock rom, I would suggest to go for 4.3b version as the new version has updated drivers and it will be a little hard to get off it. Or go for philz kernel.
