the easiest way to gain root access is to flash a custom kernel, cf-root is probably the best option .... however you may need to upgrade your firmware first (kernel will most likely not be compatible with your version as it is sorta old).

hmm how do i do that then....on my last phone ( ZTE blade ) it seemed a lot easier.

I had a ZTE Blade too. And yes, it is more complicated.. But you'll get used to it.
Be sure you can use the three-button combo before you do anything at all.
Then, follow:

or just install a new kernel already rooted (CF-Root seems really the better option):

yeah that's correct. Follow the first link to update the firmware. NOTE: you must be able to access recovery and download mode (3button modes). It may seem daunting at first but if you have these modes it is near impossible to brick your phone in anyway (best thing bout the galaxy)...once flashed you can follow the second link and flash the cf-root kernel.

Help speeding up my SGS.

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.

If you are rooted then you might as well download a ROM that can be flashed using Recovery Mode.

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.
Check his thread for the instructions and if you need help. You won't be disappointed

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.

Either way, the procedure is basically the same. We could go back and forth all day
With Doc's online kitchen you can have Voodoo 5.1 with his awesome sound work ready to go right out of the box (hmm that idiom doesn't really work with ROMs does it )

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

Go to the market download rom manager app 4 free , open it, then chose for instal cwm
There u go much easier.

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.

Also a good option especially since OP said he doesn't have access to a PC For me, reaching for Odin is no big deal but there are lots of ways to get this done.

How to root t-mobile vibrant with Froyo 2.21,froyo UVKB5 ,

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.

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.
I have never been able to get Superoneclick to work on any phone I have tried, for various reasons but still...

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.

I can confirm this worked on my GS2 running stock KG5 and it took 3mins max
Installed Orbot and Pandora right after (to play pandora outside the US) and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for posting it here, I would've probably missed it otherwise.
Now I wonder if it would work on my N1
Edit: It took literally 35secs to root my N1 running 2.3.6 oO
Worked fine on my SGS2 2.3.3
How does this effect warranty, as you are no longer flashing any kernels or firmware if you are using a stock firmware?
I assume you will not need a jig any more after rooting either.
To late for me as I have already routed, but it would be interesting to know for future rooting.

Great! It worked like a charm! Not intending to Custom Rom just yet, removed all the system bloatware + carrier/samsung apps, ran SetCPU and reinstalled my JuiceDefender Ultimate!
Now the overnight battery drain is gone, 100% at 12AM, 95% at 6.30AM. My JuiceDefender is set to advanced settings though, with Data turned off on lock/unlock only activating once in 30 Minutes to check for data and to trigger on when certain apps are launched!
Can anyone enlighten me if Cyanogen's Stable Rom will increase my battery life and work as well as stock in terms of app friendliness and usability?

Simplest way to circumvent the 'EMMC_CAP_ERASE' bug... Save your precious...!!!

***This is not for devices that have already been bricked. It applies to only those people who have inadvertantly flashed one of the 'Unsafe' 4.04 ROMs and wish to change ROMs or restore back their nandroid backup.***
Hi All,
Considering that a lot of gentry is unawares of how to go back to their nandroid back ups from the 'unsafe' 4.04 Stock Builds and are afraid to flash kernels fearing that their beloved may develop cataract, get pimples or maybe pass way (god rest their souls..) , below is the most foolproof, noob friendly way of going back to stock set up while circumventing the dreaded 'emmc_cap_erase' bug...
- Go to Intratech's thread of all stock firmwares in Original Development section.
- Download Stock KL1 <http://hotfile.com/dl/146342883/c1bdbd7/I9100XWKL1_I9100ODDKL1_INU.zip.html> (because it is no wipe) + Odin tool (you did flash LPM/LPO/LQ5/LQ6, exactly the same way!!!)
- Switch off your phone, restart in Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power), you will see a flash page, choose to continue.
- Fire up Odin, confirm that the phone is connected, Click on 'PDA' and add KL1, flash KL1.
- First reboot, phone will bootloop.
- Switch off, restart in stock recovery (Volume Up + Home + Power)
- Do a factory reset.
That is it!!! Your beloved has been saved from Satanic evil...! Now install your favorite GB/ 4.03 ROM/ CM9 or CM9 derivatives or restore a nandroid back up (if you had any... )
I hope this helps...

I did exactly as stated in OP.. I just happened to read around before flashing ROMs ( ***noob flashaholics*** ).. And hence, even though I have an unsafe chip and after flashing LQ5, LPM and going back to VR 3.0 and now running LPO.. I write this from my phone..

Can someone confirm that this works when going from LPO backwars? Also why should I flash from ICS rom to GB rom? Isn't that bad for the phone? I wanna go to some stock rom from where I can flash the jelly bean preview

Yes mate, it works for LPO as well. You should flash a GB rom so that the unsafe kernel kernel is overwritten by a GB kernel which is completely safe before the phone or you attempt a wipe.
No it is not bad for your phone. In fact trying anthing else can be fatal for your phone.
Once you have taken the steps I have provided, you can flash the JB preview from CWM from the GB ROM.

He's actually right. Flash siyah or another custom kernel and you're good to go. Looks like the latest speedmod is safe as well.
To reset the counter and get rid of the triangle, use chainfire's app.
Or flash an older GB boot loader from Intratech's thread and use a jig.

As I said, give me a step by step method and I will add it to the OP. Or else forever maintain your peace.
My method is simple, requires no additional tinkering apart from the steps I have mentioned. Not all people like Siyah (3.1 brick incident) or want to go through the hassle of running a kernel cleaning script.
I want to keep it simple... You are free to open an another thread with the steps you feel are simplest.. You could call it "Simpler than Simplest...."

Use the Indian version, it is a no wipe.. You can then flash your own country's firmware over it..
Well, the <samsung-updates.com> is down for the moment, it has faster links. I guess megaupload it is for the moment then..

To have an informative thread an OP should first learn how to search and read. People suggested that you should search for it, which everybody knows is the answer for almost everything. If you want to know how to remove the triangle and add them to your first post, you should do your research first instead of asking the guy to spoon feed you the solution. Using TraingleAway is a no brainer, just simply flash an ICS ROM, run the app, press whatever is needed to be pressed (of course you need to verify that the information about, if you have a triangle or how many binary counts you have etc is correct), let it reboot and the binary counter and triangle will be gone. Of course just saying that won't guarantee the success of every people using it. There are some instances that problems occur that i haven't put in my so called "guide" for triangle away. The only way is to read the original post of TraingleAway thread.
If you want to help people by answering their query is to acquire knowledge on how to do things etc. You can't do that if you won't try to search and understand the subject first. Spoon feeding is the last thing we, as members of this developer site, should do.
Anyway, i am not here to bash you or anything. Of course i appreciate this thread because it will help people who are unaware how to safely flash their phone if they are on the famous "brickable ROM/Kernel". I am just here to remind you that no matter who we/you are, everyone needs to do their research first rather than people just giving you all the answer to everything. After all, using TriangleAway is "RISKY (well, i haven't heard anyone bricking their phone yet with it)" according to its developer hence the need to read its thread first before posting a guide to your thread. Good luck to you and your thread and hope you understand what i am talking about.
Cheers

So i've had my arc S a while...

My previous and first smartphone was the X10 mini pro. After reading about rooting I did it with Superoneclick and it was easy. I also managed to unroot by using SE update service. My question is how can I easily root my Arc S? I dont want to use other roms, just use apps that need it. I dont really understand what flashing is. Also dont want to potentially brick my phone using methods that are hard.
If you would use the search option, there's so many threads already, some of them are even stickies.
Look around a little, you have come to the right place, but no one is going to paste you links here. If you still can't find it after an hour of searching, ask again.

Model : LT18i
Android : 4.04
Baseband : 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77
Kernel : 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build : 4.1.B.0.587
Everything is up to date. I have tried searching but have hit brickwalls
To get root on your current set up you will need to use flashtools, go to the development section out the arc forum and download v8 think v9 is a bit buggy.
Next go the general stickies and look in the post by overlo4d on how to root.
you will need too downgrade the kernel so download the kernel you need, then root using doomlords exploit,then upgrade the kernel again found in overlo4d thread.
It is very easy tho sounds complicated.
Everything is explained in the main rooting thread by overlo4d.

This one just appeared.
Rooting isn't possible without flashing, but you don't need to unlock your bootloader for that. Just read everything trough, and download all the nessecery files.
