Alright so I had successfully rooted my vibrant at one point and was fine with using hybrid R4.. I then flashed to 2.2 froyo, then tried to go back down to 2.1.. forgot to flash kernel and then had to use Odin 1.3 to revert back to stock. used odin with T959UVJI6... now how do i reroot my phone? it doesnt have the update.zip anymore, and i really dont think its rooted... whats the best way to root this guy now that i have i used odin to flash back to a almost, if not completely stock rom? i have tried my original method of superoneclick to which now doesnt seem to work...
Dont help this A-Hole

because I wanted to try out a gingerbread rom and i figured that since I was at stock I would open up Kies to see what kind of update it would say for the phone, but when I looked at it, Kies doesnt show anything. I mean it reads and finds my phone no problem but where it shows "Current Firmware Version" its just empty.
I remember previous times I did it, it would still show Version 2.1 and ask me if i wanted to update to 2.2.
So I guess im asking, if I should be concerned with this?
I did use Odin to go back to 2.1 btw
which odin?
odin3 one click? the ATT one? the one that obviously wouldnt work with Rogers keis?
or odin3 flashing utility with the Rogers Stock roms in my sig?
keis is crap anyway. if you want 2.2 flash my 2.2 stock. but dont bother if you are going to flash gingerbread. avoid 3e recovery, but theres a fix for that too in my sig.

Actually it was yours in your sig. It was the only one I have been using since I found it at like the beginning of the year. You are right Kies is crap but I keep it because id like to give Gingerbread stock a shot once it comes out before flashing to gingerbread roms. But now that I think about it, I think it might be that kies had an update when i opened it since its been so long from the last time i used it. So it was probably that.
And thanks I will look at that 3e recovery before i start flashing.
Hey guys have you tried to odin this phone to stock vibrant. I was thinking to install the stock odin vibrant on this phone and than rooted so it will be easier to install any rom. what you think?

Don't EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
Vibrant Roms are known to brick the GS4G. No matter what vibrant rom, unless it's specifically mentioned as SAFE in this forum, all Vibrant roms are a no-go.
Dumb move on my part
well..... What if this one noob (me) didnt do his research beforehand? Now im trying to flash back to a stock rom but ODIN wont get past the cache step without failing me. Ive tried KD1 KC1 and KB5 and all have failed

You will have to have to follow these steps to get NVflash a recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 Then you can flash this from recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 to go back to froyo. If you only want to go to froyo to get root you can follow the first link and NVflash recovery then flash one of the pre rooted roms in the development thread. If you want the pure stock vanilla then you can flash the stock recovery by following the same quide as the first link I posted.
I cant make it work :/
i did everything it says on the thread you send me, and it doesnt work i cant go back to froyo. :S
I think i just broke the phone =( it stays in blank rebooting it self F!(#(&!$#&($13 the screen is black with the light blinkin =( what can i do????
Been searching for a way to unroot my samsung galaxy s 4g. Tried the superclick method and the universal galaxy s tool wit no luck. Can anyone help, or guide me towards the right direction please?
you can odin a rom that is prerooted. or you can odin bali and flash from there. i would suggest odining ravers KC1 first and then bali and you should be good to go. let me know if you cant find it in the bible or through search and i'll help you out
He's trying to unroot. Are you unrooting on Froyo or GB? Froyo should really be as easy as SuperOneClick > unroot. GB would probably require a new flash of GB.
I'm curious though, why unroot?
thanks jagger, but bkoon is right... I bought this phone for my girl as a gift. It was already rooted by unknown source and was loaded with froyo 2.2.1. Tried hookn her up with GB through odin but got a lil confused, roms werent being flashed and was stuck with bootloops. So than i tried flashing thru CWM, with the vodoo lagfix, and once i got them to flash phone was pretty unstable. so I tried reverting back to froyo using odin. Got it flashed back but now her phone goes thru some serious glitches. I figured if i can unroot, i can start all over from scratch. Im no professional but have experience on other phones, but this phone has been a serious beeeeotch from day 1. Any ideas bro?
my bad. misread that. it sounds to me like you messed up the bootloaders. search for ravers kc1 and flash all 4 or so files in odin and that should give you a fresh start. once there, format the sd card on the phone and reboot. then reinstall your drivers (uninstall, reboot computer, reinstall) and then try superoneclickroot and try unrooting again.

I hope that phone was purchased from a credible source and it wasn't stolen. That would suck if someone reported it and her phone got blacklisted.
Unrooting the phone won't help make much of a difference though. Odin'ing RaverX3X's KC1 will already remove your root and give you the cleanest slate you can possibly get on this forum. From there, you can work on getting GB on the phone. I hope you have experience flashing with this device though. Reading is VERY important for this phone. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as other phones out there.
Follow what jager555 said. He's got his stuff down, lol.
lol. Thanks!

Thanks jagger and bkoon, going to work on it tonight. Hopefully all goes well.
i have a samsung captivate with android 2.2 froyo and i want to go to 2.3.5 gingerbread. found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1300843
my question is which should i download with bootloaders or without bootloaders?
kies mini will not update me and even bricked me so i dont want to ever use kies mini again. i have both odin one click and odin 1.7. also have heimdell one click and prefer to use it but cant find a stock 2.3.5 rom that will boot up on my phone. i have downloaded 2 and used heimdell but didnt work. heimdell is just so much easier but i will use odin if needed. i do want a stock rom nothing fancy since phone modding is a little new to me. i have a computer degree but phones are a whole different world lol...

ok the link above isny working
If you are going from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3, you will need a Odin or Heimdall file that contains the bootloaders. They changed between 2.2 and 2.3, and you have to have them to make 2.3 run properly.
I would suggest this UCKH3 one-click Heimdall solution. It will flash everything you need, and you don't have to open anything else to do it.
Just be aware that it won't have ClockworkMod Recovery installed, so you'll have to flash a different kernel or use a one-click with CWM baked in later.
I would recommend flashing the lastest build (KK4) from Samsung. Here is a link to Odin one clicks and Heimdall one clicks with gingerbread bootloaders.
You must have Gingerbread bootloaders to run Gingerbread roms, however they are backwards compatible with Froyo and Eclair so you won't have to flash bootloaders again.
