I have search these forums for an answer to this, but cannot find a answer to this exqact question and don't want to start installing ROMs unless I really have to.
I rooted my UK uynbranded Tab using Z4 root a while back. I saw gingerbread is now available in my region so tried to update, but Kies is telling me an update is available but refusing to update my tab. I unrooted the Tab using Z4 root and tried again, but still without success.
Currently my version reports:2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1, build FROYO.XWJJ7, baseband P1000XXJK5
Do I really need to reflash to a stock ROM?
If I must, could someone please recommend a tutorial to help me, I see several guides but no idea which is the right one for my circumstances.
Thanks
Gary
I have a verizon cdma sgt rooted stock rom. And there is an update that keeps popping up and everytime I try to do the update it fails half way through. Anyone have some advice or point me in the right direction on how to do it manually? Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanx guys and gals

if you're running the rooted stock dj11, then you have to unroot, apply the update, and then use superoneclick to re-root the new stock ec02 rom. alternately, you can hit the dev section, and snag a rooted ec02, which is flashable via heimdall. but your updates won't ever work with root. so you always have to unroot, and then apply the update, and then reroot.
also, if you used z4root to root, trust me when i say, it won't work for ec02. you have to use superoneclick, and you have to make sure you have the right drivers installed on the computer, or it stalls out.
I've tryed to unroot with superoneclick and it says its not rooted but never works. Is there a step iam missing?

I was wondering if anyone has found the original ROM that cam with the Droid 3. I had bricked mine trying to unroot it so I could get the OTA latest update. I would upo having to FB 5.6.890 ROM. It was the only one that seemed to work. I know this is the latest ROM out there for my phone. I would just love to be able to put it back like it came out of the box and be able to receive OTA updates. I was a newbie when I rooted the phone and didnt realize you cant un root it if you have deleted any system apps that were on the phone originally. If anybody has the answer or idea it would be greatly appreciated.

If you look through the threads here, the sbf is there.

Afaik once you upgrade to 5.6.890 you can't downgrade via sbf. I've heard it will fail.

New Note owner here, but definitely not new to Android or Samsung devices, for that matter. I immediately updated to 2.3.6 (see attached) as soon as I got the device, but now realize I would like to root the device, get the note-specific (custom) version of CWM, etc.
I really am not interested in a custom rom, just want root. Can I flash a pre-rooted rom by loading from the MicroSD card?
I did look around, but I am finding conflicting info on the best root method after a 2.3.6 update which wasn't rooted previously and prior to. I see some posts about downgrading but is that safe?
Thanks, just looking for some solid advice.

I just got my note today as well (LOVE IT!!!) I also updated immediately and the root+CWM method here worked perfectly.
Thank you!
That worked, thanks for steering me in the right direction. Much appreciated!

Were you already on stock KL7?
I tried dl'ing the KL7 package and running "not rooted yet", but it blocks the image write and just reboots.....
Any ideas?
Mark,
I think it is possible I have a different build. Mine shows KK9.
But, to answer your question, my unit was a German unit purchased from Amazon. It came out of the box with 2.3.5 and immediately wanted an update to 2.3.6 when I set it up. I went ahead and did the update.
Then, I realized I wanted to root. I followed the link from the first response in this thread and had no issues at all. The ZergRush exploit went off without a hitch on 2.3.6 - and after that I did install the slightly modified kernel to get the customized CWM for this Note, etc.
I hope that helps, let me know if you need further info.

Hi I think when it came from germany you are able to do one more update about OTA, because we are currently using KL7 it came after the KK9 update.
Just try to do the update OTA
But...
You appear to be correct on the update, I just did check and it looks like a 71MB firmware update is available.
But, should I do this OTA from KK9 to KL7? Will I lose root and CWM?
I hav answerwd u, sm other place b4 five min
Yes u will lose. I explined u how to update there
Yes, indeed you did. Thank you. I didn't intend for a cross-post, I just wanted to leave that here as well so it might help others. I agree it makes much more sense to use Mobile Odin Pro to flash the full ROM, and that is what I am going to try.
