If I used the one click method to root would it be possible to unroot with this app if needed? Or would I have to use the unrooting method that came with the one click root?
Flash a pre rooted kernel. This forum is full of them, or look in the sticky wiki for a rooted stock rom.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't flash a rom unless yo are already rooted so this would not work. Right?

No, you can flash a rooted rom without being rooted, however you need clockwork recovery.

Don't you need root or a computer to install clockwork?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Download rom manager, then use rom manager to download clockwork mod, then use astro which is a free app available in the market which is very useful, to open the sd card folder, then go to clockwork mod folder then copy recovery-update.zip and paste it to the root of your sd card and rename it just update. It's already a zip file so you don't have to type.zip. Now reboot into stock recovery and apply update.zip. Does not work with froyo. But if you down load the clockwork redirect, then you can install that once you get into clockwork recovery after you flash a froyo rom before you reboot. But using adb to flash the permanent clockwork kernel is the best way.....try this......update.zip method:
1. boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
2. Apply : http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/clockworkmod2.5.1.0update-fixed.zip

Why is it that everytime I try and run this system update ,when it reboots it just sits there at the black and white Samsung screen? And if I try and run it from CWM it says installation aborted,file update.zip not found. Any ideas? My phone is rooted but I'm not running any mod.

You can't install an OTA with clockworkmod. You're going to either have to ODIN EC05 or run the unrooting script.

Should I uninstall Clockwork? Or how do I get into the stock recovery?
You're better off ODINing EC05.
This will work without a pc only if you are on ec05 modem, if not get your ass there
So since I'm in the process of moving without my desktop and have no acess to a pc. I updated to gb fairly easily with cwm and root.
This can be done with any rom.
if you mess up and let it boot at the 2 points I tell you not to, then you can get stuck with stock GB without root or cwm.
You will have the modem on the bright side!
I stated off with RandomRom, but you can be on any as long as you have the ec05 modem.
1. Download what you are goingto need,(the acs cwm is your choice.) Thanks to thoes who orginaly posted these files.
1a. the stock ec05 rom with the green cwm 3.1.0.1 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
1b. EXTtoRFS found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9992367/gotorfs.zip
1c. The ec05 to ei22 update zip found here: http://android.clients.google.com/p...a5ff039a0c97.SPH-D700_update_EC05_to_EI22.zip
1d. Su.zip found here: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
1e. Acs cwm (optional) found here: http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=Epic/ACSRecovery/
2. After the files are on your phone make sure your on ec05 modem.
3. Boot into cwm doesn't matter I believe what one you have I started with acs's cwm.
4. if you are not on Rfs flash the zip to get there.
5. wipe everything 3x.
6. Flash the stock rfs ec05 rom.
7. Once finished reboot, as soon as you select reboot use the 3 finger to get back to recovery (do not let it fully boot). You should be back to the green cwm 3.1.0.1
8. Install the ec05 to ei22 zip just like any rom, I didn't wipe **** this time.
9. When finished flash the acs cwm or any flashable version you want.
Rebot the phone in cwm while holding the 3 buttons to go back to cwm(do not let it fully boot).
10. Once in cwm either acs's or any you flashed, flash the su.zip to obtain root.
11. Reboot and let your phone power up. You should now have ei22 with modem, cwm, and root.
Hope this helps somene or makes updating easier for you!

Most clear and concise guide so far. Well done!
Thanks I live in B.F.E. Ohio and didn't want to wait to have GB with root and cwm, and without a pc I was lucky it worked!

Crap... i rebooted my phone after the update and now im unrooted >_>
Yeah, I'm a retard. Rebooted without installing su. Now I have stock recovery and can't root.
Tried renaming su to update.zip but it failed.
Am I out-of-luck until I can get to a pc? Maybe I'll go home "sick"...

I would assume so. I ll update main post warning a little more about not letting it fuly reboot at the 2 points.

I tried gingerbreak on the nanoid version of ei22 yesterday and couldn't get it to root. Might be my phone, but that's the only other way I know to root then use cwm app to install cwm 3.1.0.1
Worth a try

Gingerbreak's exploit apparently has been blocked since 2.3.3, so it isn't your phone, it's the rom. You'll have to odin cwm when you can get to your pc, then boot into recovery and flash nubernel or a comparable slightly modified custom kernel *before* normal booting for the first time - otherwise, you'll lose cwm due to a script in the stock kernel that reflashes stock recovery.
For root, I'd recommend flashing the su zip in recovery, may as well do that after flashing the custom kernel. You can find the necessary downloads in one of the how-to threads that have popped up today, I'm sure they'll be easy to find for at least a few weeks
I hope this helps clear up some confusion

Just realized cwm is gone after first boot, that blows
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
This worked for the ROM and root, but now all I have is stock recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get CWM back?
Ok, after a subsequent battery pull, I lost root. It was all an easy fix after doing some research. Basically, I used ODIN to flash the keyfix kernel. After a re-boot, I used ODIN to flash the ACS recovery. After booting into recovery, I flashed the su.zip. I now have root and ACS recovery. I even did a battery pull and it still works.

Re-download the image your trying to flash.
As an MD5 is a checksum, meaning if the MD5 isn't valid something has gone wrong with the download, hense the Check Sum is incorrect.

Had the same problem myself.
The 4.2 update won't install if you changed anything in /system
An example of how you might have done that is used titanium backup to uninstall a system app or use the integrate updates of system apps into ROM option.
The solution is to restore what has changed. For example, if you removed a system app that came with your nexus such as that Korean keyboard app (which a lot of people seem to have done) you need to somehow get a hold of that apk and put it back into /system/apps or the update will not install.

Can confirm that any changes to the system in any way will stop the device updating via ota.
I moved apps and froze some installed some custom changes to system ui etc the normal stuff you do when rooted. The update downloaded fine but would not install.
Thankfully I had a cwm stock backup,hid root using voodoo ota rootkeeper then was able to update to 4.2 then restore all apps and data using titanium backup.

Thanks for the help I just used wugfresh and the tgz file for 4.2 wiped everything but no worries there. Got 4.2 running all I have to do is root

Download CWM 5.8
Put it on your external SD card
Enter into Stock Recovery
Locate the cwm.zip file in your SD card
Flash it
Now you have CWM on stock Samsung kernel with no root and the process did not involve a PC

OK,but how did you bypass the signature verification. It always aborts for my because it's not a file signed by Samsung.

Depends on what OS version you're in... in gingerbread the recovery is locked and checks signature, on ICS or JB it doesn't.
