[Q] Help in unrooting!

I just bought a SGS recently and these are the Settings
BASEBAND VERSION : I9000XXJPK
KERNEL VERSION : 2.6.32.9 root SE-S608 #1
BUILD NUMBER : FROYO.BOJP7
I am a total noob when it comes to rooting! This is the first smartphone ive bought!
Can you please tell me how to unroot this and install a faster version, because my phone lags a lot!
I would appreciate it if you could please explain it in steps as i have no clue what im doing!

Hello,
If you didn't install a lagfix, you do not need to unroot before flashing a new firmware.
I suggest you to make your own rom with romkitchen based on JS5 and hardcore's speedmod kernel.
You will need to flash hardcore's kernel first with odin (only the kernel) to get recovery 2e and CWM.

Not sure if your phone is actually rooted but anyway even if it is it shouldn't matter, unless you have a lagfix applied. If so undo lagfix and then flash to another firmware.
There a a few ways to installing new firware. One is through kies and using kies registry patcher. This allows you to fake your region allowing you to flash to firmware updates that may not be available to you. Good choice is to update to a euro 2.2.1
I prefer to flash manually using Odin to a firmware of my choice. Just go to samfirmware.com snd once in the galaxy s firmware section you willfind all the files you need. Just be sure to read the instructions on the page as well.
Flashing the phone with custom firmware is another. For that you use clockworkmod recovery which you can install with rom manager from the market (need to be rooted first and have 2e recovery) or by flashing a kernal like speedmod using odin.

That kernel is the default one. The root bit often throws.people off. As the previous post said look for the app super user or better still download an app that requires root access like titanium.backup and try using it. If u can't use it then you have not been rooted

I think you mean ROOTING your SGS, not unrooting?
Anyway read that before starting any tweak : -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810686

Your phone is not rooted. Search this forum for Darky's resurection edition and read, think, then read again. And don't forget to read.
Further more, check your 3-button combo's and make sure to have your /EFS backed up.

this two steps done very carefully

just go in settings and then navigate to software and in that there is "check for updates"
one advice: get some basic information regarding rooting,recovery,kernel etc....i root my phone after doing research for month and then i proceed.here in XDA lots of information available very easily just go through posts and forums.read and re-read then proceed.
if u do something wrong we are here to help you but make sure you know what you are doing.
good luck

ok the video is kinda blurry on my phone can u please inbox me the link sir

Last time I needed gingerbread I did a simple Google search. There are working links in these forums if you search too.
Don't expect to be spoon fed everything. Do some research like everyone else did instead of just posting all the time.

If you don't care about the data you have now, you could try flashing the semaphore GB kernel and then flash whatever ROM you want or, you could download the latest firmware from Samfirmware and then I'll help you further!

Thank you for the reply. I don't care about my data but could please be more specific about those ways you mentioned, as i said i am not very familiar with XDA forum and sometimes it's confusing because there is much information.

Hoping you know how to use Odin, and also what a kernel is, Semaphore is a kernel which has CWM. At the moment, let's just aim for CWM. So you will have to download this file and flash it via Odin in the PDA tab.

Does my phone have to be in download mode or not while doing this? Different guides show that it has to and others that not.
