Yes you need to load the shipping rom passionsomething.imgsomething file. There's a thread on it. It's real easy, download it, rename it to a special bootloader recognized file, reboot, go into bootloader and it AUTOMagically, loads it.
No. If you aren't rooted you can't go back. The stock recovery will not let you downgrade.
Unless... I may have heard about one special leaked rom that let you do that, but I couldn't even begin to point you in the right direction.
o i c okay thanks...
anyoine out there know if i can update my non rooted 2.1 to 2.2 and then if i decide to go back to 2.1 i can??? please help
i have a non rooted n1 with 2.1 update 1 now if i update it with a froyo unroot version can i go back to 2.1 update 1???
Are you running a custom recovery image? If you are then you can make a nandroid backup of 2.1. If you aren't then the only way to go 2.2 > 2.1-update 1 would be to do a factory reset.
new tmobile vibrant firmware is here and ready for download. comes with new widgets and better gps and lag seems to be gone.
Leaked
T-959UVJI2
from samsung-firmwares.com
Whats new:
- HD Camrecorder App.
- Task manager App.
- Gps Seems faster.
- New widgets.
- And fix a lot of lag things.
This 2.1 rom looks like a real android 2.2.
We are very happy with this new Samsung Vibrant rom
WARNING!!!
..........
Do not flash the voodoo lagfix with this
..........
Eclair 2.1...
My comment on this rom.
Hey its a leak its not 2.2 and im happier with eugenes roms. I'm going back . I recommend you do the same. Seems like a test rom. I hope this wont be the official OTA from tmobile cause that would suck. We want 2.2

++++how to fix missing apps in the market++++
Missing market apps with new firmwares is always an issue because the market does not recognize the fingerprint. You need to be rooted and should open the file /system/build.prop in a text editor Scroll down till you come to the section titled # Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint. After this are two lines, on which the name of the firmware will be stated as T959UVJI2. Change the ast three letters in the name on both lines to JFD. Then save the file and reboot, and then go to market and download and install a couple of apps. After this the missing apps will show up again and won't go away until you install another unofficia firmware Last.
+++ Thank rajendra82 for this market fix, works great +++
*Thanks to youneek we have a nandroid of this build. Great job youneek.*

Another way to restore your apps is with titanium backup save all your apps from the jfd firmware flash this ji2 then restore your apps from titanium.
Where exactly did this come from, and what do you mean "still 2.1 but acts like 2.2". That doesnt make any sense, its either 2.1 Eclair or 2.2 Froyo.

this is official tmobile 2.1 eclair . with alot of changes. im still digging in so download and check it out.
Is this a pre-release version someone snagged from samsung or what?
...and I believe that this is from the samsungfirmware.com topic that i've been reading about this morning.

He's saying its still a 2.1 rom but feels like 2.2 ie: 2.1's system lag
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-t959.htm
Official Release, nandroiding and flashing in a few, so I cant comment much more than what has already been said.
Im dl now but do we have to flash thru odin ???
Will this remove root or any rooted mods (ie battery status)?
Flash via Odin?
Lovellkid
so can unrooted phones flash this?
someone please take the plunge and flash it lol
I recon when this released is flashed, it will fail at boot (missing dbdata).
Thats because it is a high release and therefore missing two files.
If it does fail try flashing with this one:
SGH-T959_T959UVJI2_IP.7z
It is a "mid" package which includes the missing files.
I have no experience on Vibrant, but in I9000 case this rom would fail to boot.
Its a fresh firmware, flashed through ODIN, Will take you back to bone stock + new update
can this be flashed thru clockwork?
So um? What the Password on it? Can't extract it without it..

hey all,
im having some issues with unrooting my I9000
i had a rooted 2.1 eclair device wich i updated to 2.2 now i cant root or unroot it anymore. tried aplying the update.zip wich gave me signature verification error and the one click root/unroot doenst even do anything (unless startup then)
do i need to reset the original firmware back again or is there a solution ?
gr
Nakkie
Did you root it again after you get 2.2? that's why you wanna unroot?? My understanding is that once you flash the firmware, the root is gone too.
nope my phone was rooted when i updated it but after the update apps said that it wasnt rooted anymore, so i tried rooting it again, that didnt work and the kernel version says root so that why i want to unroot, i want root 2.2
solved
installed SuperOneClick root and it worked thanks anyways
ive beeb trying to search the thread on how to make the samsung galaxy s less lag and i cant find it i updated my phone using kies im on froyo 2.2 now. saw some tutorials but only working on 2.1 for the rooting purposes can anyone show me the thread on how to root samsung galaxy s running on 2.2 and give me some apps to less the lag thanks very much....;

oh this is simple. go to development thread and you should find a bunch of choices of Kernels. They mostly have Odin for you to download, then u can use Odin to flash a custom Kernel over your stock one. Then go to recovery and go to the advance options and Root your phone fromt here. All new Kernels are pretty awesome cuz they will root your phone for you and insteall superuser + busybox.

here's the easiest way to root your SGS..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
just make sure you follow the instructions:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode
The easiest way to root+lagfix (especially if you're newer to this sort of stuff) is to install Voodoo.
It will automatically lag-fix your Galaxy S and then all you do is install "superuser" from the market and you've got root. Nice and simple.

Another option is to go to samfirmware.com and using ODIN instal I9000XWJS5. Full instructions are on site. The advantage of this is you get a good stable ROM, smoothness, fast, better battery life and there is no need for a lagfix - much safer.
Enjoy your SGS.
i downloaded z4root and get a little bit confuse of the temporary and permanent root can anyone explain me whats the difference thanks.

It means that your computer must have the correct drivers for you Galaxy S. You'll be connecting the phone to your computer, the computer needs drivers to recognize the phone.
Just install Samsung Kies, all the needed drivers will be installed as well.

Your best and easiest bet would probably be to install the Spedmod kernel, or a custom Tom. Realty all you have to do is go to the developement section.

Your device must be rooted to do that.
Please.. Don't just try anything without a thorough read. You might end up bricking your device.
First of all, I am not a fan of Lag fixes, some lag fix users had lost their internal memory because of it and if you use it you'll only have 600mb internal memory.
I suggest you to upgrade to a stock Froyo 2.2.1. It is faster than 2.2 and almost on par with LagFixed SGS. I'm currently using Froyo 2.2.1 XXJPY and it is very stable.

Your only option now is to wait for the official release on your country or Flash 2.2.1 via Odin, remember to backup before doing it coz it'll erase all your data.

Hi
My problem is "Waiting for device"
My LG is on version 2.2.2 and it says that there is no Upgrade available
I spent 3-4 hours trying to root my phone but failed. Do I need to root cell phone before I upgrade to version 2.3.4 or can I switch to version 2.3.4 and then Root Cell Phone
Every time I try to Root my phone i get error "Waiting for device"
My debbugin is on, and I turned of my firewall is there something else i need to do to get Rooting Right ?
Thx
You can safely update to 2.3.4 and then root using one of these guides:

That second link for update to 2.3.4 GingerBread works 100% on my LG Optimus 2x ?
EDIT : Can i get link for updating my LG from Froyo 2.2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.4 , safetly
It should work, follow the guide to the letter and you should have rooted your phone.
Here's your link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929
Wait
First link is for Rooting phone
Second is for update to Gingerbread
Third is for Rooting phone on Gingerbread ?
No, the first three are all for rooting
The fourth one is for updating manually to GingerBread
Ok .. soo first i Root my phone by one of that 3 links and then i update to Gingerbread (4th link) ?
The other way around
If you first root and then update, you might lose your root, so...
First update then root.
By the way: After you root, do you want a stock LG rom or a custom one...?
Explame me what that means xD
Haha ok
Stock LG rom is just the normal rom from LG you have right now but then a little improved (removed unnecessary software and apps). Normally the people who like the looks of the stock rom choose Stock-based roms.
Custom roms are roms completely different than LG. They look different and they have different apps/software. Most people out here prefer custom roms like CyanogenMod or MIUI. I prefer CyanogenMod too because it's in my opinion overall better than stock rom.
You can find these roms in the development section. The reason why I asked you this is because if you want to have a custom rom, you don't need to update to 2.3.4. You just can root 2.2 and flash one of these custom roms over it. This will automatically update your phone to GingerBread.

No I didn´t try OTA update . I bought LG 2 days ago soo kinda new here xD
Try one first,
go to settings ----> about phone ----> phone version (or something like that, not sure) and do the update from there. Trust me, this is much easier than the kdz method. If there is no OTA, then you should use the kdz method.

There are a lot of ways to check that. You can either look in your app list for an app called Superuser. If you have this app then you should have rooted successfully. But if you want to be 100% sure, download the root checker app and see for yourself .
Hey guys,
I just rooted my phone yesterday on stock 2.3.4 and got this annoying issue: Every time I shut down and restart my phone, some settings revert to default on their own. For instance, text input language becomes german (was the default language when I bought the phone), input text sounds are activated again, and so are mobile networks which I must disable quickly because they mean charges.
Could you please shed some light here? Thanks!

AFAIK, this is the only way... Because you have no OTA it seems that this is the only option. But I'm not sure about that.
My advice is to search, perhaps there is an easier way to do so.
EDIT: Download Rom Manager (app) and from there install ClockworkMod Recovery. With recovery you can flash a stock-based gingerbread rom on your phone! (how could I not think of that earlier ) make sure to do a nandroid backup in recovery mode.
EDIT 2: You might wanna try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408919

Or you can just go directly to the latest KANG-54 build. Android 2.3.7, very stable and smooth as butter.
