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.

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

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.

if you have d109 the one click root doesnt work.. ur going to have to use adb and force push the files to your phone..
okay, how do I do that? sorry, I am new to this, and can't find the actual android debug bridge app, nor can I find how to use it to push the files with it properly.
now I'm really confused, I downloaded the sdk tools, which supposedly have adb in it, but cannot find it after having it download everything checked by default, wtf!?

2) On your phone go to setting/applications/development and check usb debuging.
3) download the fascinate drivers on your computer and install them. they can be
here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCH-I500RKAVZW
4) place the update.zip on your sd card
5) take the battery out of your phone and plug into your computer with the usb
cable.
6) hold the volume down button until a yellow triangle appears
7) place the ODIN file into the PDA section. NOT THE PHONE
8) start and wait til its finished.
9) put your battery back in, unplug and turn your phone on.
10) download superuser from the market. Note: the market it currently down for
some.
You are now rooted
2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499
1) download the NEW CWM RECOVERY and DL30 rom and kernal and place them
on your sd card
2) turn off your phone
3) old down both volume buttons then the power button. Let go of the power

I'm on stock DL01 about to flash it to DL09 but I'm getting so confused on all the CMW. Could you post a link to the correct CWM for DL09 and then for DL30 please? Also, can you check over these steps.
1) Start: Stock DL01 (Rooted, No CWM)
2) Flash DL09.tar.md5
3) Install correct CWM for DL09 (Is this possible without rooting DL09 as you said?)
4) Flash DL30
5) Install correct CWM for DL30
6) Use CWM to delete data, cache, etc
7) Finish
roboliger see my post above (#5). the first one will give you CWM for DLO9. The second one will walk you through flashing DL30 (froyo). Make sure you clear data before and not after you flash DL30 and the new CWM.

I'm on vzw's dl09, I'll try those steps, thank you.
Ok so I Flashed DL09 Pda'd that clockwork thing then installed rom manager. Rom manager said i didnt root my phone yet and that it couldnt find superuser at /system/bin/su and i installed superuser.
I get all kinds of errors when trying to run clockworks rom manager. the one they noticed and it gives an error in flashing the old clockwork mod. not to mention I get: an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands! when I try to reboot into recovery mode.
Delete everything. Wipe your phone thru Settings/Privacy .. you will have to reactivate your phone.
Download this package: http://www.multiupload.com/C0HFVLSI22
Use ODIN to flash the package. THEN download Rom Manager from App Market and click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. This will install the OLD CWM which is the cleanest and should not need to add the "update.zip". Reboot into Recovery and go from there .. install from zip etc. etc.

You shouldn't need the dl09 to get to dl30. I was on dl01 and went straight to dl30.
With a nice clean phone on dl01 flash the .tar file I posted via ODIN (PDA).
How long does the wiping data... in clockwork mod generally take? Mine has been at it for about 10mins or so...
btw, I'm on step 3 of installing DL30.

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.

Will update the process into a more east to read format as soon as I can.
This isnt a question anymore because the method I will explain below works perfectly. Thanks to Gjones77, Stilesja, marcasant, Mkasik, xBTx and chrisott9628 as well as the acs team for providing the tools needed to root the OTA.
first you need to install the OTA either through the OTA method or through the Google link method.
Next you need to go to the ACS forums and Download the ACS recovery 1.0.0.5.tar.md5 file, http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=Epic%2FACSRecovery%2F
You will need this file as well http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
Edit: see the 2 options below first so that you can retain CWM on your phone after reboot as samsung put a script in their kernel that will flush it out after reboot.
You will also need to have the latest version of Odin, Odin3 v1.85.
1) confirm you have gingerbread EI22.
2) download the 2 files above (you can use CWM purple version as well if you dont want the acs Recovery.)
3) Put the su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip file onto your sdcard and turn off the phone.
4) Boot into Download mode by holding the 1 key on the keyboard and the power key
5) open odin and connect the phone to the computer, one of the ID:com boxes will light up to confirm it is connected.
6) put the ACSrecovery.tar.md5 file into the PDA area of odin, make sure everything is uncheck except Auto-reboot and hit start.
7) if done correctly your phone should reboot directly into ACS recovery mode.
8) once in recovery flash the Su-***** .zip file then reboot the phone.
9) If CWM does not stick due to the added script Samsung embedded in the phone kernel you should see below. There are thus far, 2 possible options, Option 1 will give you the Keyboard fix with a relatively Stock experience and Option 2 will give you a Deodexed Rom, nubernal, the keyboard fix and the GPS fix.
Thought id add something to this first:

You can also make your CWM override the built in Samsung issue as well as add the nubernal. To do this, follow the steps up until you get into ACS recovery or CWM and flash the .zip in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339579 rather than the Su.zip file. This will completely fix your GPS and CWM problems as well as deodex the EI22 version you have.

I updated Superuser in the market and lost root capabilities. Uninstalled the update and it has worked fine.
I just noticed that metalblaster said "so just flash purple" after chrisott9628 said to use the ACS CWM. Does it matter which one you use?
i just assumed purple because it was odin that was being used to add it.
I tried to download the .zip of the ACS recovery, but got file not found. Anyone have a working copy/link/mirror?

I can confirm that this doesnt not infact work for me at least. Ive tryed every odin version as well as renaming the file to a .Tar rather than .md5 as well as using the .md5 and the .zip files. Its no use.
Actually as soon as i posted this i tried the file posted above to try to get CWM and it worked like a charm. You need to place the .md5 file into the pda portion of odin3 v1.85 and check only auto reboot. If done correctly the phoen should boot into CWM directly and then you can flash the Su.zip file to gain root.
***NOOB ALERT***
I asked this in another thread, but its way more appropriate here:
Would Gingerbreak work on EI22? I used it last week to root EC05 and flash Toadlife's EH17 stability rom. It installs a slightly older version of CWM (I think), but it also installs Superuser.
Just wondering.

I tried it and when rebooting, it reboots into the phone (not into CWM). I reboot the phone with the 3 finger salute and it is still the stock recovery. Odin shows that the recovery flash was successful.
EDIT - Nevermind - was using a downlevel ODIN.
I know I'm not the only one who can't Odin flash CWM and actually get it to stay after reboot
So, anybody working on an easier, more reliable method?

Flash mkasik's key fix kernel mentioned above *before* you flash clockwork. Then it will stick. I posted this over in the purple clockwork recovery thread but I don't think its gotten a lot of attention. If you use heimdal you could pull the zimage and recovery.bin from the tar files and flash them at once as well. That should work too.

Glad to help, what made me think of that is I remembered back when purple clockwork came out you would still go into orange clockwork if you did a reboot recovery from the Clockwork App, and it was because there is actually a copy of recovery built into the kernel, then everyone updated their kernels with the new recovery and it was always purple. So when this happened I thought that sprint must have done something to send the three finger boot into the kernel recovery, turns out that must have been the case because a custom kernel fixes it.
The problem is that after (any) OTA update, the phone will reflash the recovery kernel with the stock boot kernel image on every boot, unless the recovery image is already "up to date". Here's the longer explanation.
Anyways, there's two fixes:
1. Flash a custom kernel, then a custom recovery. (As other have noted.)
2. Once rooted, use root explorer or something to delete the files: "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" and "/system/recovery-from-boot.p". That will let you run the stock EI22 kernel with a custom recovery.
