My question is if I have a rooted vibrant to I get the OTA Froyo 2.2 upgrade? After the upgrade my phone would probably be unrooted or lockdown again. What about all the stock apps that I took off would that still be off? I'll say yes but I'm not sure. One last question. What about all the software that I need root to run would that be gone or not usable? and if those are paid software I would have to buy those again. Sorry for all the questions, I'm very new to android I got my phone 3 days ago.
Thank You,
Denyson
Ok let see if I could help u out here. 1st of all u dont have to root to get 2.2 it come from t-mobile. If u root u would still get an ota froyo update if u didnt change the kenel, but it will unroot it. 2nd u might have a problem from the update since u take some of the bloatware off. 3rd all the paying app that u pay will b in ur maket if it get reset and u dont have to pay it again. And if root app then u have to root it again or it wouldnt work. Hope that help

dont worry about 2.2. Were never getting it
You got the phone three days ago, you rooted and removed apps?! I'm proud of you =)
I would think that it might be best to go back to stock before you installed the OTA myself.
Definitely do a nandroid backup though....and maybe a titanium backup too..

Thanks tructo that does help. my kernel still the same stock. I'm a bit worry about the stock apps problem part. Also I hope we do get it Froyo 2.2 upgrade. and I hope that we can root that version also.
Would a factory reset put it back to stock? With the stock apps and all? but if we can not root Froyo 2.2. I don't want it. I'll stay where I'm now. I love that one click lag fix, battery could be better but all in all is a great phone.
I dont think u can do factory reset unless u do nandroid bacj up b4 u took it out. But the best thing to do is use odin back to stock. Dont worry about u cant root with 2.2. There is alway a way. The dev for this fone is great and it seem to me that samsung doesnt try to stop us fron rooting. That y it so siple to root it in the first place. And use titanium back up, it save all the app for u
P.s: for the battery problem I use bionix fusion rom in the develope section it great

I need to figure out how to backup roms? I install rom manager but when I was backing up it hang on the linux.ex2 file. I think thats because I have the one click lag fix in place. I need to read more about this. I would love to backup my rom so I can get it back in case something goes wrong.

+1 to what tructo said about the factory backup. You need to have had a nandroid backup already in place to do that.
Make sure you've got the latest ClockworkMod in place and also click on "Problems?" at the bottom of ROM Manager to get the latest BusyBox then try and do a ROM Backup.
As for being able to root 2.2, I'm pretty sure it won't be a problem =)

Thanks guys this is a great resource.
Do you guys think that the battery life is so short because of the one click lag fix? After 8 hours I'm down to 15% battery.
My brother used odin to back to stock and he still did not get the JI6 ota update yet and it was supposed to be rolled out until October 31.

No the battery drain is not because of the oclf. The problem is from the update ji6

i thought about this too.. because before OCLF was available for J16, my battery was even better. now that i have the lag fix.. i cant seem to make the battery last over 20 hours.. tops is 18 hours only sometimes just 14 or 15.. ughh
but im not sure though, it's probably coz i have my screen brightness at 20%??
just wanted to enjoy the screen, it wouldn't be the same experience if it was completely dimmed out.. LOL

This is the first time I would have to agree with smashpunks. We will get Froyo 2.2, when everyone else is already running Gingerbread 2.3.
Samsung truly provided they can't be depended upon.
What was it that the ever so eloquent Bush was trying to say?
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. NO MORE Samsung products for me. Well okay maybe I'll take a sneak peak at the Samsung Galaxy S2/Nexus 2.
Hey Denuding! How did u so quickly learn how to root and get rid of the bloatware? I've had my vibrant for two months and the only thing I knew was installing launcher pro. And do u know if u can remove touchwiz? And make it go to stock android look. I'm a complete nub and I don't yet understand all the terms like ota, rom, flash, kernal and stuff like that. Can u help me out? Thanks!

okay...we already knew this was true, but i have a question.
When the real froyo comes out, will we have to flash back to the DI18 stock w/ Odin or will we be able to update the manual way like we did for this "test"? (I know it wouldn't show up in the system updates notification)
Since ur probably gonna root and load a custom rom anyway, pretty sure u can just wait for the rom packages to be updated and go straight from dk28

Yea, but doing that will inevitably lead to problems. The best way to do it is to return to DI18 and let Android update you the normal way, then root, then install whatever rom you want. If DK28 has taught us anything, its that trying to take the shortcut leads to non functional GPS and other problems.
Which means we'll probably be getting the final build of froyo in a few months judging by the current rate of progress. SOOOOOOO tired of waiting.
I checked the Sprint forums.
One of the admin suggests that the official update will be released within 3 weeks at the least, unless there's problems. Which...there will be -_-
Hey guys,

Yes. Thats why it's called Shipped ROMs. It's just different versions.
Right so if I install one of these stock roms my phone will still be rooted and stuff wouldn't it? So it wouldn't be in the orginal state

They return to stock completely, no root. I don't know if it sets R-ON, but I'd assume so.

After that i downloaded ( RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed.exe )

As far as I know, so far Sense 3.0 only ships with the HTC Sensation. Sense 2.1 is the correct version for your stock HTC DHD Rom, you shouldn't worry
So this back to stock ROM, does this return everything back to normle so un roots, radio on. All that?

Use my guide but with an appropriate firmware from samfirmware.
Not a hell lot you can do about the download speed. I suspect it might have something to do with hotfile - I get incredibly ****ty speed from hotfile, but not from any other file sharing service.
There should be a few threads lying around in the general section about stock roms. Try downloading from there instead of ****ty hotfile.

Before you flash anything you gotta make sure you have 2 backup plans. One is, of course, the nandroid backup. The other is having a stock firmware file you can flash with Odin in case everything goes to hell.
In my case, I have a JPU stock firmware stored on my home computer and on my work laptop. Every time I screw up so badly everything is FUBAR I go back to JPU and works like a charm.
Ah also, along with the JPU I have a CF-Root flashable file for JPU (just needs to be Froyo specific, not firmware release specific) so I can have root.
That's the only advice that hasn't been given to you already.
In reality, the Galaxy S is pretty hard to really brick. The bootloader may get corrupted but there's almost always a way out.
ok thanks guys +1
i will flash my phone with 2.3 and when I'am bored with it i'll flash it with some custom rom

Hey guys i'm just starting this thread so we can share our personal experiences with our beloved X8's. I want to unite all X8-tians Come on, we all have good times and bad times with our X8's and i want to hear them it doesn't matter what the story is. New rom, new SD Card, accidental discovery, EPIC GLITCHES (I have one I'll post soon)...hope there isn't another thread like this out there or that this is in the wrong section ...ok I'll start off and i hope this thread catches on
OK, so where should I start.....I guess my 1st brick i guess So one day i decided to take my dad's abandoned X8 and upgrade it to Gingerbread. Spent half a day learning up on rooting and Gingerbread and attempted it . I flashed nAa's MiniCM 2.0.7 at around 3.00 am (next day was a schooling day), and just as i was finishing i forgot 1 important thing...FORGOT TO FULLWIPE ...got a bootloop and actually cried myself to sleep (I swear to God i ain't lying ) and eventually found out that SEUS or PCC did the trick ! Then i joined XDA, hooked my X8 with GDX V13 and my adventure began *epic music plays*
Very easy for me to explain why I'm on XDA .
I'm french (it's not a scoop..) and all of french's forums are translating most of posts we can find here.. So rather waiting for a translation, I decided to see by myself this site and finally.. stay and create an account..
We can find plenty of roms, and all my answers are here so.. I think you'll bear with me a moment longer

OK i have 2 stories actually
1: 1 week i had phone i was playing games on the phone and going to the bathroom suddenly i stumbled my self and my phone hit teh flore. luckly it didn t fell in WC (it was close)
2: after 1 month i had another problem. i was on stock, not rooted.... and i was trying juice defender ultimate (downloaded from internet not Market ). So i played with it. Then suddenly FCs on some android preoces bla bla bla... so i had no idea what to do (i didn t know about XDA then - it is my first android phone). I tried with SEUS and PCC non of them didn t want to repair or update it. As I didn t know about flashtool so i take it to the shop for repair.
1 brick: nothing special
wanna hear my story?
well i always play with my x8..i always test new roms and see if its good...when i install roms i always go to xrecovery, do full wipe,wipe cache, format system, wipe dalvik and then finally install custom zip...
but then, last week i tried fde...i did the usual things: xrec, full wipe, format system, wipe cache and dalvik.. i diddnt go to "install custom zip" and out of my excitment i pressed REBOOT NOW...
who can guess what happened?
ok, heres my tale throughout my x8 life.....
Lets start with rooting,
One dsy, i decided to upgrade my X8's OS, My x8 is on a contract btw, but anyway, it took me ages to pluck up the courage to actually root my phone, once i had rooted my phone,my heart beating like s&it (LOL), i installed xreocovery, so i did, then i flashed gingerdx v011, I joined xda when gingerdx v011 was out, so i flashed that, and i liked it..,...
Then, once i had reached v018 of gingerdx, the news had spread on xda about bootloader, so i decided to unlock it. My date was 10w47, so i was clear to unlock, 1st attempt, And i succeeded! I was ever so happy, then i decided to install LinuxDX (back then, alfs or nAa wasnt out, so i had no choice but to flash that custom kernel). All went perfectly, and i felt like i was awesome in succeeding
My first brick was a simple 'forgeting to do full wipe' problem, i was alright in fixing it though, just a simple full wipe in recovery
Now, not only am i flashing ROM's, Im making my own Custom ROM
my first rom was hackdrod by raucht
Phone Price: FREE - Pay as You Go
Carrier: vodafone Ireland
---------
I got my X8 in February of 2011 and that was also my first Android device. My brother had gotten a White X8 (which ran 1.6) for Christmas just a month before I got mine. Mine ran 2.1
So, from March to August I pretty much experemented with apps and games and all that stuff.
Now, I'm not a big mobile gamer so I just accepted tthe fact that the X8 WASN'T a gaming phone, unlike some people who just force their phones to play HD Games.
Then, on August 23rd 2011 at 10:27PM I decided to root my phone with Super One Click. I actually didn't read Any ttutorials on how to root my phone. I just Googled ffor Super One Click as i had read on OTHER forums that they had rooted their Android phone with tthat.
A week later, I decided to install a ROM. This wàs a **** decision. I followed a video on YouTube and the link for the ROM (MINICM6) that was in the description was old and the ROM was buggy. The description CLAIMED that the ROM was fully functional.
WiFi (which claimed to be working) didn't work and neither did the camera and a ffew other features.
I panicked. I literally cried. I thought, 'well, there no fuc*Ing possible way to get back to android 2.1". I was wrong.
later the next day I went on my PC and check PC Companion.luckily it worked. I was back on good ol' 2.1
I rooted again and stayed on 2.1 ffor several months.
(Btw I joined XDA a week after going back to Android 2.1 )
Then, on November 4th 2011 at 11:51PM I downloaded and copied GingerDXv017 to my SD Card and flashed in XRecovery. (Yes I know its CWM, but read on!)
I got a boot loop. I was crying and panicking again. I swore not to install a ROM again.
Then, I went on my dads X8 and talked to my friend Quinny898. He said to do a full wipe. Which I was I forgot :0
I fillwiped and it booted into GINGERDX! I immediately checked the WiFi and Camera and they both worked! Horray!

Once again, last Saturday (a week ago) I attempted to unlock my bootloadEr. I literally had my warranty and X8 box ready just incase I bricked it. Luckily i got SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE. I proceeded. And all went well. I installed alfs and boom, happy days!
I think I've typed too.much already. Considering I typed this from my X8. ^__^
I BE FAST TYPER!

x8 is my first android phone so when i bought it i had never imagine how wonderful is...actually i bought it because my previous nokia xpress mussic was destroyed and i had to bought a phone....
i used to use my x8 for listening to music ,gaming, surfing on internet and of course calling and texting.
the fun for me started when i was playing zenonia 3 and i couldn't success a mission so i had to paid for buying some good stuff(which was out of the question) or to hack it! after a research on how to do it i found about an app which you should be rooted(hex editor)!!! then i was finding more and more facsinating things!
after rooting i wanted dual touch and when i got it i was really happy!!!, and i started to look for more things about my beloved phone!
when i was trying to increse my phone's performance i found xda ... and you understand what happend.. a new world about my phone was discovered!!!!
i was trying many roms and modules that i found in xda but for long time i hadn't make an account because i thought it was pointless but after enjoy myself with the work of others i thought that the least i could do was a thank for their work so i made one to show my thankfullness to devs...so here i am!

my tale
i didn't brick my phone except once
because i learned everything before buying it(do u imagine that?)
The reason why I joined the xda community is that 2 years ago I bought a Xperia X1 and I spent days and days in order to make it impossible (xperia x1 perfect / full working phone with no bugs), which has so far proved unsuccessful. Then I stumbled on xperia x8 Android phone, which is the same day when he came into my hands ended up connected to the PC and modified (BL unlock, root, xrecovery ..... GDX , firedroid ). I still hope that developers will make at least one rom that will work fast, look good as an ICS, and be bugless.
