So, over in the i9000 forum z4ziggy has been working on z4mod, it is similar to Voodoo, it completely replaces the file system with ext*.
Check out the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797672
Currently our kernel only supports ext2, which is sad, but here is the patched kernel, apply it with odin in the PDA slot.
Download kernel (Froyo 2.2):
http://www.multiupload.com/N1OUL0ZYYN
Download Odin:
http://www.multiupload.com/KK1GOK9SYT
Next you will need to run this zip from rom manager, the patched kernel has a borked version of 2e recovery that doesnt let you select anything, so if it fails, you will need to reboot and try again with rom manager.
Download EXT2 zip:
http://www.sgscompilebox.dreamhosters.com/files/z4mod.ext2.update.zip
If you want to revert back for whatever reason, just use this.
Revert Back to RFS:

Be careful though, **** splatters.........
Should mention somewhere that this is for 2.2 DG.
is the patched kernel for froyo? i can see that the patch will work on froyo or eclair but you posted a pre-patched kernel, or am i misunderstanding something?
edit, i see. nevermind i missed the froyo in parenthesis

I tried going into CW recovery and mine when it rebooted to go into recovery it errored out and i couldn't get back into the OS. I had to redo my ROM again just FYI. Not sure why it wouldn't load back.
Do you know why my CW wouldn't load DG? Not sure how to apply the fix if I can't get into CW recovery.

Yup, when I slap them with the trout their **** will splatter all over!!!
Apparently, if you've deleted Touchwiz and replaced it with LP, it won't work. Boots up pretty damn fast and the drop down menu has absolutely no lag!!! That's all I've been able to test ATM. Flashing back to stock, then back to Cog2.2B2.
is this going to give us any real world performance increases? and no.. I'm not going to run around posting screenshots. besides, with the years I spent on IRC, I've been trouted enough times to know it's SHTANKY!
OMG I GOT OVER 9000 IN QUADRANT WITH THIS FIX! OMGOMGOMGOMG!
**eyeroll** =P
I flashed the kernel with Odin then tried to apply the .zip with rom manager.
It failed. Now my phone keep on booting into the recovery screen...and i cant make it reboot regularly to try again.
Help?
omg i got the same problem!!! help!
I fixed it. I just flashed the PDA from my version of Cognition (v6). Now it rebooted into recovery, only this time it worked.
Successfully updated it, but it seems to have no Android Market app???? I installed my TiBu of Appbrain, but it says I can't download anything without having Android Market installed. Have an .apk for that DG? Or anyone for that matter? Other than that, it is pretty quick
NOOB QUESTION: In rom manager do we click "install rom from sd card" or "boot into clockwork recovery"

Download recovery.
Reboot into recovery.
If it doesn't go into Clockwork (green screen) automatically, just in regular recovery, select reinstall packages. Should reboot into Clockwork.
Thanks, i think my problem was that i had never gone into clockwork mod recovery before. With the modified kernel it is impossible to reinstall packages. I flashed to cog 2.2 kernel then reinstalled packages. Then flashed back to modified kernel. Now it should work.
EDIT: Worked
Here is my problem. I've been running Sonofskywalker3's 4.01 DL30 rom for a couple of days (loving it). I installed an app that broke my "back" button. I booted into recovery (the stock one) and did a full wipe reinstall. Then I was stuck in a boot loop.
I used Odin to flash a DL09 tar from here. Then I rooted using this method.
Every time I tried flashing a ROM I got an error about not having signed files. I installed ClockworkMod from here using the Red install listed near the bottom.
Now I can boot into ClockworkMod 2.5.0.4 (green) from ROM Manager and at one point I was able to manually boot into the RED ClockworkMod by manually holding down both volume buttons at boot up, applying the sdcard:update.zip in the stock recovery (2e).
I tried to flash the DL30 ROM again from ROM Manager (Sonofskywalker's ROM). I just get errors saying "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) (Device or resource busy).
I thought it might be the SD Card so I tried a different SD Card and exact same error. I even got the same error with the RED ClockworkMod
Is there a way I can flash something with Odin and get it to work? Right now I'm in the phone (not bricked) but I don't have vibrate (really weird). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

+1 this is the fix for all soft bricks. so just keep that file on your desktop like i do.
Same here
I am having the same issue. I have flashed DL01 and still cannot flash CWMrecovery that worked before. My issue will never push out the update.zip. I remember my CWM was 2.5.1.0 (green) before 2.2. Anyone else have this issue? I think I'm doing something wrong since this is happening to two different Fascinates or 2.2 leak changes something deeper that our odin cannot correct.
*** I resolved my issue: my root did not take. After I rooted, I was able to flash from Rom Manager ***
Where do I get the DL01 file? Can someone post a link? I'll be home soon and I can try it out.

Thank you. I had actually just found it and came back here to post it and found that you had beat me to it. I actually just flashed DJ05 and then had to re-root. I'm about to try rom manager again but I think it might have just been that I wasn't completely rooted (crossing fingers).
Now I'm getting this error:
E: failed to verify whole-files signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I guess it's on to DI01...
Try flashing CWM through Odin now. When I got the same error I flashed the tar file via Odin and then it worked perfect
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
OK... Trying that now. I'm trying the RED one. Is that right?
Ok... It looks like it's working... (fingers crossed)
Well... It worked... mostly...
When I am in ROM Manager and it reboots it gets messed up and ends up at the stock recovery. Then I run sdcard update.zip and it goes to clockworkmod and starts flashing the new ROM. It starts off with an error saying that there are some missing bitmaps or something, but then it works.
Not perfect but close enough (I guess.)
That's pretty much the way it is working for all of us I think. I know JT addressed the missing bitmap error in one of the new CWM threads. Glad it worked!

I upgraded my vibrant 959UVJ16 - ECLAIR 2.1 to T959UVKA6 FROYO 2.2.
i had a very difficult time rooting it however it is rooted now.
i installed CWM and it will not boot into CWM recovery. it does not have permission
i have tried several different ways.
i have also tried busybox 1.17.1 and it says there is no space on the location to install /system/bin or /system/xbin
i would like to flash a custom rom and i can't get it into the CWM recovery or get the BusyBox Installed.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
i think it is a permission issue. (i could be wrong) i just don't know how to fix it. i have been at it for more than 5 hours and i am giving up at this point and desperately asking for help.

Your issue is the stock recovery (3e).
Use the modified 3e, oka1 referenced it.
Like others said though, you could just go back to 2.1, root, flash cwr, flash custom rom.
Your choice, the stock froyo over mini kies was crap in my opinion.

Hey everyone
I have a stock unrooted Nexus One running 2.3, and finally want to root. I want to root but stay on stock 2.3, is this possible?
From what I've been reading, many suggested just using this guide, but leaving out the last step:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
So basically do everything except flashing the cyanogen update zip file.
But will following this result in having root on GRI40? Didn't see the guide mention anything about rooting.
Appreciate any advice for this root noob
Thanks!

It pauses (can't select anything), then briefly displays this, before letting me proceed. This text only appears for a second, I had to use a camera to capture the text.

Question.
In order to preserve my locked bootloader can I passimg back to 2.2.2 or 2.2.1 and superoneclick root and flash a stock but rooted 2.3.3 rom over it?
Or would that not work because with my locked bootloader I would be unable to flash an unsigned rom?

I'm guessing you're using Amon Ra, in which case, you need to turn off signature verification...

Thanks Danger Rat, I got it working.
Where I had gone wrong, was after putting on the recovery image, I was booting into the default Android recovery mode, not Amon Ra's one (I had to hold down volume down on the boot).
Then I could turn off signature verification and flash the su.zip.
Rooted, thanks!

If you can get into CWM, you only need two more steps now
1) mount /system
2) install zip from sd -> su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
Reboot and you are rooted.

Yes I follow the root technique of "hxxp://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/", and, like "vbobmac", my phone stock at google page.
After that, i try the "rootboot.img" who give "Si_NZ" to "vbobmac".
And, like him, after that when i boot, i can only boot into clockwork recovery, and i can't go into "bootloader" mode.
Can I make my rom at stock into clockwork recovery?
I hope, it's possible to unmake this mistake?
In the post "[ROM] Stock - 2.3.4 - GRJ22 - Deodexed w/radio for NS/NS4G", do i have to take a rom rooted or not? Because my phone is unlock, but not totally rooted i think.
Sorry for all those questions, but i'm a little lost. And i'm affraid to make an error who will kill my Nexus S.
Thank you a lot for your help, i wait your answer before doing anything.
Thank you again.
It's great to see people, who are ready to help directly.
Edit: Now I can boot in "bootloader" mode, but i try with ODIN to put back at stock my phone, but the computer (Windows 7) dont recognise the phSamsungone.
Even when I install PC Studio 3.
Do you now an other way to make my phone work? Root or at stock, doesn't matter. Just if he can live, it's good to me.

Can you access the sdcard to flash a rom? You can do that by going to clockwork recovery, then mounts and storage, then select mount USB storage, then on your PC go to my computer and press refresh until you see the phone storage appear, keep pressing refresh for atleast 5 minutes because sometimes it takes a while. Then download any rom rooted or unrooted and flash in clockwork recovery.
If you can't do that and you can use fastboot, I'll send you a system.img and boot.img to flash.

Mount the sdcard is working, copy files work too, and i can run the update.
But, the operation abort with a "statut 7".

My phone is a Nexus S i9023, but since i try to root my phone, my bootloader version is the "i9020XXKA3".
You think, i have to change the bootloader first?
For flashing bootloader and clocwork recovery, i have to do it from Windows?
