Not sure what you're asking. Are you trying to downgrade from froyo to eclair? Update rooted eclair to rooted froyo?

Update to one of the rooted ROMs. I've been running Fresh 3.1.0.2 for a while now with great success. The Netarchy kernel makes it even better. Just be sure to flash the ROM first then the kernel, if you decide to run a custom kernel.

But yes I downgraded from froyo to eclair from froyo, did the root and installed forever, but it appears that now it rejects to take the ota to froyo, which is no biggie, but why would my phone be running half speed, or should I just forget it and flash.

You don't ever take anything over the air front Sprint or HTC. Download a froyo rom from here...then flash it like you flashed when you rooted the phone...then flash the radios the same way.
It sounds like you have some more reading to do.

i actually tried taking the ota then, it would downlaod, but would not install, just ended up a few times and the droid and a triangle with the exclamation point in it, did that a few times and said forget it, found a rom to flash that was done by netarchy with the HTC ota final build, and it worked perfect, so i'm happy with the outcome.

fortunately i have full root now since the new way came out! so uh yeah.
Just finished installing the official 2.2 release on my Captivate (problem free). Before installing I backed up everything to my SD card via titanium, then removed the lag fix, and did a hard reset / format using the dialer code, verified everything was wiped and all the internal storage was wiped clean (although MCR scripts and superuser didn't go away).
first reaction, THE LAG IS HORRIBLE. hoping it was a result of crapware, I rooted via SuperOneClick, reinstalled Titanium from the market, and removed all the ATT crapware, rebooted, and it is no better.
I've restored my apps and everything except facebook contact syncing seems to be working great, but the lag is awful! often I wait 3, sometimes 5 seconds before a screen click is even recognized.
are there any lag fixes that have been tested on, or at least suggested for the official 2.2 release?

I assume you are referring to the one used on 2.1, I don't remember the name, but it used MCR Scripts and was installed with an update.zip. once installed you ran MCR Scripts and "installed" the lag fix with 2 options, either 512mb or 1gb of space, and a third option to remove the lagfix
I ran the remove option before doing the upgrade

I thought I read that voodoo didn't work with 2.2, only 2.2.1
I'm running stock 2.2 with no lag. I formatted my external sd and that fixed my initial lag problem

If i understand you, you had lag problems after upgrading to 2.2, and then resolved them by formatting the external (removable) sd card?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I just upgraded and it seems very snappy to me. It's not my everyday phone anymore so I don't have a SIM or external SD in but from just fooling around with it for about a half hour it moves nicely! About to root now and remove the bloatware

That was solved months ago. Go to the dev section, download the 5.x voodoo + stock KB1 kernel odin file, and flash it on. Phone will take a while to boot back up, but will tell you it is converting partitions to ext4. Once it comes back, you will see the amazing speedup from getting rid of the piece of **** known as RFS.
Is there anyway I can get lagfix by itself? I have no computer so id just like to download to phone, put in root and goto recovery mode.

If its that much of a lag, then something didn't load right. I'm on stock 2.2 wirth no lag. Its just about as fast as oclf. But, if you read the [official] froyo update thread, people kind brush on what ideas to try. Most of them say, like I said, something want loaded right. Good luck.

No ones answering because a search with one word gives him the info he needs. He just refuses to read and wants the info handed to him on a silver platter.

Ok so....i found the
voodoo 5 stable for 2.2.1 yes I know I only have 2.2
downloaded it
renamed it
put it in /sdcard
rebooted to recovery with CWM clicked reinstall packages
Went through its process and said it failed..could not verify or something. Is this not the way to do it? I did it on 2.1 same way w/eclair approved voodoo and it worked just fine. And I apologize for getting upset its just a little tedious doing all this searching on a small phone screen.

Froyo uses 3e recovery I believe so it will not install any update.zips the only way I know of is using an alternate recovery...a kernel with 2e recovery or going the custom rom route like torch 1.5 or cog 4 in the dev section which use the new froyo
And for your no computer issue...i suggest you find mcdonalds or a neighbor and use the wifi and download one of those custom roms directly to your phone that have a lagfix included with root and no bloat. I do this all the time when I am in the field. Just some suggestions I hole they help and I understand your frustration.
I know this may sound odd for.some but important asking cause everything i tried seems not to work so i can i get some help maybe some step be step instructions.please don't nobody has to be a smart ass also if somebody would be willing to make a video that would be nice.....

Are you trying to root from stock ee4? The question was a little vague and I want to make sure before typing it all out.

Yes that's what im trying to do

I think there is a rooted stock ee4 in the development section. Let me see if I can find it. I think you would then just install using Odin with is in a sticky at the top.
---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------
Why do you want rooted stock ee4? To debloat?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121201
Found this but seems like alot to go through just for root. Easier to find a debloated version and just add back in what you want. Im still new at this myself.
If you are only worried about root and do not want to flash a custom ROM you only need to:
1. Download CWM from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804.
2. Flash it to your phone using odin, make sure you selct PDA and uncheck auto-reboot. When finished boot straight into recovery just to make sure everything worked.
3. Install superuser from the market or download the .apk and flash through cwm. =)
That's it, if you have any questions about how to use odin please refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580
Knew there was an easier way lol. Guess I learned another thing for today.

Not sure if you can achieve root on this phone without a custom kernel.
As far as I'm aware if you do go with a custom kernel when Verizon releases an update you will need to revert back to stock to be able to receive it.
If that's ok with you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205428 and follow steps 1, 2a ,2b. you'll be sitting rooted and stock at that point. if you go with the pbj voodoo kernel (i'm using it) it will give you root and speed your phone up quite a bit. after that just download superuser from the market and go nuts.
Im trying to root my phone, but SuperOneClick keeps becoming unresponsive, which also ends up freezing my phone.
Ive seen someone else with this problem but they fixed it. Anyone know how they did it?
Mine did that, too. I killed it, restarted it, and let it take it's time. that was with SOC 2.2

Sorry, yes, KJ6 is the official Gingerbread update. Not sure why it keeps crashing. One thing I did forget to mention was I had to disable virus software completely in order to run it.

Hello all, i've been using cyanogenmod since i got my phone, but would like to get some of the stock apps of it. It's nvflash'd, but I am not sure how i should goa bout rooting it. Is there some sort of flashable zip for 2.2? Should i use superoneclick?
Sorry for asking, but i am unsure of superoneclick, since i have never used it. I'm just wondering if it will permantly affect the bootloader or anything (im going to search after this post)

Lol ....
Sorry again folks. I meant by reflashing my stock rom (from here in canada), it goes back into a unrooted "firmware" phase without superuser. Therefore, i cannot use titanium backup since there is no superuser. I could still use nvflash to flash another rom, but couldnt get nova out of the rom!
I got it by flashing the file for 2.3.3 from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
(took a leap of faith on 2.2.2). Anyways got it working.
Thanks for trying to decode my original post though
I've read it about 3 times, with no luck to figuring this out. You are rooted and running cyanogen but want to know how to root and get 2.2 stock applications?
