I upgraded my vibrant to the lastest official rom, froyo UVKB5 , juse for those who still looking for the way to root it, I used the Super one click version 1.91 , and it works, remember ,only the version 1.91 will work, all other earlier version will not help you.
Certainly you will have to install the usb driver for Vibrant,
then download the SUPER ONE CLICK software ,
and select "USB DEBBUGING " on your phone,
then open the SUPER ONE CLICK programe,
connect your phone via usb,and click 'Root" ,
when it says done, reboot your phone, there you should get it rooted.
Lol and don't forget tto tell people how to get to clock work mod! Wait do you even know how to? Not trying to be mean bro.

You have to flash a new kernel. Then you can use ROM Manager to flash a new ROM.
I rockin Trigger atm. and I LOVE IT.

Lol no that is not how you do it! You have to have a modified 3e recovery first then you can start flashing things its not as easy as that. Since the 3e recovery checks update.zip you cannot flash clockworkmod that easily you can do it on jfd that easy but not an update which has a 3e recovery!

well how do you flash CMD on 2.2.1 then?
Just wanted to give a quick thank you as this worked perfectly for me! The 2.2 version of super-one-click constantly had me hanging but I'm glad to have found this older version and it worked like a charm
Nope did not work: UVKB5: V1.9.1 "Failed" - V2.2 - Hangs.
wHERE are they right instructions step by step? dont want to make mistake
thanks
If all you are wanting to do is Root the phone, then look in the Q&A stickie for the Noob Guide. Has a flashable Rooter right there. If you can't find it, click the link in my signature.

Thank you for this info.
I just spent a day trying to root my Galaxy S Vibrant using SuperOneClickv2.3.3 (after having it updated to Froyo 2.2). It did not work, no matter what I tried.
Finally, I came accross your post, googled for SuperOneClickv1.9.1, dowloaded and followed your instructions. It worked like a charm.
Once again, THANK YOU!

sorry if this has been asked but im new to a lot of this stuff and i wanted to put the vibrant6 rom that just came out on my vibrant and i was wandering that if i dont like it are just want to take it off i can do a restore from rom manager. I would of course use rom manager to backup my rom first. Also if i do this and keep it will i still get the OTA updates. It looks like this rom is keeping the stock kernal and that im sure if i changed that then i would not get the updates. I just a little nervouse about this. Thank you

I downloaded the vibrant6 zip from the 4shared that I was directed to and it took all of a second to download which I know was way to fast. I went to unzip it and it was unsuccessful I don't know why. So even if I wanted to do this I can't.

Obviously to install Vibrant 6 you need to flash stock rom, then flash vibrant6 with odin.
When I decided to go back to stock rom I flashed stock rom with odin then ran nandroid restore of a point I had made right before trying Vibrant6.
I flashed vibrant6 via clockwork and it worked just fine, you just have to have a stock rom with root for it to work properly
But does it need to be unzip first.

No it doesn't, its an update.zip.
OP just download the file and place it on the root of your internal SDcard. Reboot into recovery and flash it from there.
If you uninstall clockworkmod recovery you might get OTA updates but it depends on the rom you are using. With any alternative recovery you may be able to download the OTA, but it will not flash because of the recovery. I dont know why people worry about OTA updates! If its being sent OTA, I guarantee it will be on XDA months before! If you want OTAs, leave your phone stock.

Rooting isn't hard at all. You should go ahead & root now
+1 on the root now. While your at it install a custom rom and you will love your phone. Odds are you can get the Froyo update right here before it hits OTA anyways.
Yeah I've rooted my vibrant before I had to get a new one. It is easy but I would probably have to un root it to update right?
Sent from my vibrant while I'm working. I love my job
I don't understand what waiting would do. What you should NOT do is get the Froyo update from T-Mobile, as there is a chance that they will push an update that breaks your ability to root with 2.2 and you will have to wait even longer.
I recommended you root now, install Rom Manager, go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813001
Download Fusion 1.1 to your SDCARD (I have a folder called ROMS) and go to Clockwork, reboot into Recovery, Reinstall Packages, Install ZIP from SDCARD, choose Bionix 1.1, wait, and then see what that phone is really capable of.
Using Fusion 1.1 makes me not mind waiting for Froyo.
Yeah you are right it's just I haven't got to comfortable w/ flashing roms just yet. Looks a bit hard I guess I will just keep watching the videos on it till I feel like I can do it
Sent from my vibrant while I'm working. I love my job
Flashing roms is super easy as long as you're using ones flashable through rom manager. I must warn you it's very addictive. The only thing I would say is make your you backup in case something goes wrong and avoid Voodoo until you've flashed a few times and feel more comfortable. Great thing is there is tons of support here. I suggest you try Bionix Final.

Dooo eeet!
Yes, it's daunting at first to flash a new ROM, but I just did it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was simple and easy. Just read up as much as you can and then write up a "roadmap" on all the steps you need to take, before, during, and after. It removed a lot of headaches for me because I planned it all out and had all the software ready in case anything went wrong (Odin, stock ROM, etc.). If there are any gaps in your understanding or questions about a process, ask them here before you flash!
I would root it and load a custom ROM, waiting for official OTA update to Froyo is like playing a Russian roulette now. Look what a simple update that was suppsoed to address GPS and other issues did to your fellow TMO users.
As always, there will be people who wouldn't even know that you can root the device to make it your own, so they will always run stock, and complain to TMO when they click MobiTV app and never use it, but have to cough up 10 bucks a month for it (it is just an example).
If you came here you know that you can do something to your phone besides waiting for Froyo, take a full advantage of what is offered in the dev section, and don't forget to support the developers if you like the work they do
Ok I'm reading the thread you posted how do I preform nandroid back up?

If you are going to root, you might as well just do it.
Froyo could easily be 2-3 months down the road yet.
you need ROM manager...
it took me forever to find a how-to on this exact thing.
You have to be rooted in order to accomplish this:
1. root (obviously)
2. download ROM manager
3. open ROM manager and click on 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery' and pick your phone.
4. click 'Backup Current ROM'
5. Let it do it's thing... it's going to reboot and run in recovery then reboot again.
6. You are done!!
To recover, you have to boot into clockwork recovery and click restore then pick the date file you made to recover to that date!
** If any of this is wrong, please call me out!!
Yeah, I started doing all this before I even discovered ROM Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery. Those tools definitely make everything so much easier.
Make sure you have the following software tools:
ADB
Odin
Rom Manager (w/ ClockworkMod Recovery installed)
Titanium Backup
Also, make sure your phone is not hardware locked before you begin. Try the standard procedure to enter Recovery Mode; if your phone is hardware locked, run the flashable fix (found in the dev forum) so that you have some way of recovering from a soft brick.
From my experiences, rooting has always been the fastest way to get updates. Those rollouts take forever.

lol. i was waiting for a froyo release, i flashed my g1 a bunch so flashing wasn't a big deal, but i was happy with the phone stock for a bit and didn't mind waiting. but i rooted after a week. was flashing smaller things like ji2 gps, getting rid of bloatware, changing bootup/shutdown, etc. a couple weeks later. and a couple weeks after that i started flashing roms.
moral of the story? just root and start flashing now, it's a long wait.
Heya, guys.
I'm Angelo. Nice to meet you all.
First of all, I want to say Congratulations to all the people who built this website up.
THere's my issue now:
I got a Samsung Galaxy S on the 22nd of December, so it's kinda new, already updated to Froyo 2.2 firmware version (factory) I9000XXJPP build RSJP5
Rooted with Z4Root and Lagfixed with Ryanza's OneClickLagFix v2.2, I also modified the schedule (I've set deadline with tweaks instead of the default cpq).
I'm not good at all with all those roms and kernels stuff, Odin... Doesn't sound "safe" for me, don't want to toss it after three weeks.
I tried to speed up my phone, it went from 952 to 1857, but I don't see any changes, only at the start when I boot the phone, it loads faster.
Could you guys help me with this stuff out? I'd like to avoid to flash my phone, just to point this out.
Thanks in advance, Angelo.

I recommend flashing any custom JPY rom, 2.2.1 is night and day compared to 2.2, very fast, also recommend using Hardcores Speedmod kernel as well, make sure to disable your lagfix,(oclf does not work in hardcores) and use the ext4 lagfix from Hardcores kernel...
All you really have to do is flash your rom of choice in recovery, then flash your kernel, in recovery as well, and then apply your lagfix.. check your rom of choices thread, most come with instructions on installing

If you check the threads for the ROMs you'll see very detailed install guides that the chefs have put together. You will probably need to use Odin for some steps so get the right drivers and read up on that (it's all here in the stickies or in General).
That's why it's always good to do lots of reading before posting
The best ROM available at the moment IMO, in terms of speed, customizability, and the best support community, it's Doc's Kichen.
Put together your ROM at www.romkitchen.org.

Since you are running Froyo currently, you must first copy your desired ROM to your SD card, and then flash a kernel that has ClockWork build in (such as Voodoo or Hardcore). Then you can simply reboot into recovery (volume up + home + power) and install the ROM from the SD card. That's about all there is to it If you have problems you can use the "clean install method" of flashing back to Eclair with pit but this is rarely necessary.
Using Doc's ROM is really the way to go, you get great choices of launchers, kernels, themes, modems, so you can make it just how you want it without having to waste time changing/installing things afterwards.

Sorry bud, but there is no way to flash a kernel without Odin unless you have clockwork already. Which you don't if you're on an official Froyo release that has 3e recovery (clockwork can't be used unless you change kernels with Odin).
Flashing with Odin is easy, go into download (volume down + home + power), plug into PC, open up Odin, press PDA, and browse to the .tar of your kernel (such as Voodoo or Hardcore) that you downloaded. Press start and watch the magic happen. This is covered in great detail in many threads, plz look around

ROM Manager is not recommended for most SGS ROMs. In addition, it is likely to cause problems with Froyo ROMs with 3e recovery that don't like unsigned zips.

Hey guys,
I have been trying to flash my Samsung Vibrant for a few days now with no success. I rooted the phone using superoneclick, then I clicked on Axura's link on android development section to get Axura 2.3.1.2. I followed the video posted by the dev to install the new Rom. It stated to use OCLF, then use Rom manager to install the app.
Well I went into Rom manager installed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.2 I believe it was. Then I click on install Rom and it asked if I wanted to backup current rom and wipe cache. I checked both and hit okay, the list came up where I had Axura installed on my Sd I clicked that......it said phone will reboot into clockworkmod recovery to load, after that is when the problem starts. It automatically goes into Samsung recovery i select reinstall packaged and get error e: signature not verified.
I have tried to get into recovery manually by holding vol -+ and power but still loads into samsung recovery not clockwork. Has anyone ran into this problem before?? I've searched all over the forum and google and could not find any info to help me with this. I really would like to install some custom Roms to try them out.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help. I tried to be as specific as I can with the problem but if you guys need more info I can give more. Thank you
Have you updated to 2.2 already? The official 2.2 comes with a new recovery version, that causes problems with CWR.
If you had upgraded, odin back to 2.1, then root and flash a custom firmware from there. I recommend Bionix V 1.3.1, it is pretty beast.

Now if isn't hard for any of you, i'd appreciate if some you could post me some directions or post explanations on certain aspcets such as:
What is root-ing and how it's done and what does it do?

Hi there,
I have my Apollo only for a week, so i'm not pro user, but i've installed my first few custom roms on my Apollo so.
Personally i don't know that many as most users arround here, only thing i know is the following:
First download Kies software from Samsung support, that wil install the neccesary drivers for your apollo.
then,
Flashing: the prucedure u do to get other/custom android software on your phone/pda
Rom: the piece of software itself, what needs to be downloaded to put on your hpone/pda
Odin: the software program you need to run to start flashing your phone.
So in the therms of XDA: You download your Rom, put it in Odin flashing software, and start flashing your phone.
i hope i'm a bit of help, before flashing, i would read some posts here in the forum, more precisely on how to flash etc, cuz there are some risks involved if you don't do it right.

1) What is Rooting?
2) How To Root
3) Installing a new ROM/Kernel into the internal memory of your device is called Flashing.
4) If you are familiar to Linux, a ROM is similar to a Distribution. They are essentially all the same, built on the same platform. And most of them are tweaked, to deliver a better performance than the stock firmware.

one more question, how long does "z4mod" need to root your phone? i've been waiting for around 15min and it still says "Running exploit in order to obtain root access..."

You on froyo or eclair?? You mean z4root. It doesn t take that much time. Reboot and retry.
And if you are on froyo, z4root will not work. You have to use superoneclick.
well, to be honest i don't know what is froyo nor eclair, i just know that froyo is commonly linked with 2.2 FW and eclair with 2.1. i know that when i've plugged my phone to Kies it uploaded to 2.2...
could you please link me that second program?

Ohkkkk!! You wanted to flash Kyrillos?? You do know that Kyrillos' ROM is prerooted. There is no need to root first and then flash Kyrillos' ROM. But now since you have done it, no problems.
Happy flashing.

v6.0 is not out yet. First download v5.5 and flash.
Then update to v5.7 via CWM recovery.

To OverClock your device, you need an OC Kernel. Download one of these :
1) FuguMod I5800 (froyo) v2.2 (Bleeding Edge)
2) FuguMod Ultra Pre-Realease
Now flash this as 'One Package' using Odin (the same way you flash a ROM).
Install Set CPU from Here
Open SetCPU, and move the slider upto 1300MHz (/1366MHz) and you now have an OverClocked device
thanks, i'll try it right away, just one thing...which is the safest OC setting?

800MHz is by far the most stable. But if thats what you want, flash This Kernel.
well, i'm trying to get a bit more "juice" out of my phone, i bought it exclusively so that i don't spend big bucks on the iPhone and i was thinking if 1100 or 1000 were stable enough, as i've read somewhere that on a certain ROM 1300 runs perfectly without any bugs or overheating problems...
could you now please help me configure my phone to lets say 1100Mhz and what other options should i tick as it's a bit confusing...

There are no 'options' that are to be ticked. Download one of the 2 Kernels I gave links to in my earlier post. And flash it as 'One Package' using Odin (the same way you flash a ROM). And use SetCPU to do the rest. Nothing else to be done.
