why did u update via kies then? why not root then install custom 2.2.1?
any ways you will need to use odin to downgrade to 2.1 or something so that u get recover 2e. search forums on how to.

New sgs owner m8 nd it was on 2.1 and like an idiot i jumped into upgrading before reading up first (probs not the only one to do it) ive searched and searched nd couldnt make sense of it all and i genuinely need help

Is your 3 button combo working? Turn off the phone...
Press Home, Power, and VOL+ for Recovery mode.
Press Home, Power, and VOL- for Download mode.
Can you get into either of these?

Thanks for the response buddy no its not working it stopped wen i did the 2.2.1 update

Is your phone ok and lag free?
Why do you need recovery console?
I downgraded to 2e recovery, but the smoothness of the 2.2.1 was lost..

You can contact Samsung for Kies support or if you feel comfortable just flash full package with Odin.

Dear bro, what did you use to upgrade your fw? Odin or Kies?
Can you use the 3 button to go to download mode? If you can, find a firmware to flash it with odin.
You got 2 sgs?

welcome to my word of 1 week ago.. got my phone now 2 weeks
Updating trhough Kies worked normally for me. Maybe uninstall the drivers en reinstall. Update kies and retry? What error does it give?
You are better of flashing from Android 2.1 to other ROM's because it has Recovery 2e instead of the Recovery 3e.
I am running Darky's ROM and I love it ^^ still minor bugs but the 2.1 and 2.2 are even worse xD

Ahhh, I see. The problem is downloading process of the firmware, not during the flashing process. This means that the [email protected] Samsung is not working, probably sure to lost connection.
Try it another day perhaps.

This sounds like a driver issue if it cant' detect your phone, try another usb port and uninstall/reinstall kies, once the install is good make sure it says connected to kies on your phone, if not then look in your device manager and make sure all the drivers are installed. I've heard of people having issues with windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks guys you all have been a great help... Finally upgraded my galaxy s to froyo using kies... Dunno what i did to get it download the binary... JPA is froyo fw right? But its different from what i saw on youtube... Now i cant dismount my internal sd card, its lagging, plus i cant open my built in fb sw...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Strange... JPA is Froyo, but i would have thought JPO would be the one you recieved (unless im mistaken?).
Do you feel confident enough to root and rom your device?
If i root my device i'm afraid tjat the warranty would be void... I saw thay jp is froyo and the letter that follows is regional... Not quite sure bout that... In Singapore n msia we are having jpa...

I'm pretty sure you cannot root without using a PC. Flashing ROM's is easy but you need to root first obviously..

I stand corrected, z4root is available on the Market and will automatically root and install busybox. XDA link is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
ClockworkMod ROM Manager is also available on the Market and you will be able to flash CWM Recovery from the app itself. After that you are set to go with flashing custom ROMs.
Seems it wont work due to having 2.2.1 firmware and something about the recovery not being 2e

Rooting x10

Hello guys my friend she wants me to root her phone and get clockwork on it and custom roms. What's the easiest way to root? Can someone guide me? Thanks in advance.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Download the flashtool by androxyde and follow the steps to rooting it and possibly look into unlocking the bootloader also. It would make for a quicker loading the phone on turning on. For a solid Rom I would go with Wolfbreaks 6.0 because it's very good and stable.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Rule no.1 never mod a friends phone! You might end up having to buy her a new one. And since you seem uncertain of where to even start =/ i would'nt recomend it.

What about rooting her?
NVM
Download Pc companion and upgrade to 2.3 if u are not on 2.3...
But upgrading to 2.3 will wipe contacts,sms,apps,etc
so do backup
Then download the latest Flashtool and connect phone with usb debbuging on and unknown sources on
then press root button
u are done now she will have rooted 2.3 x10
