Hello all,
I'm looking to install CF-Root on my Android Froyo (Build Version: UCKB1) phone. It is has been successfully rooted using SuperOneClick, but I'm unable to do a nandroid backup due to the phone having version 3e recovery.
So I did several hours of research and ended up here on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Searching this site (for a couple hours before registration and a bit after registering) yielded nothing specific to my question. My questions:
1) I doubt I would need to, but do I need to unroot my phone before installing CF-Root?
2) Which version of CF-root would be best for me to use? I'm hesitant to just use JPY, since I have UCKB1 (KB1?) and there seems to be no version even CLOSE to that listed on the CF-Root thread.
Can I upgrade i897-UCKB1 FROM ANDROID 2.2 TO 2.3.5 AND HOW?

Dear Members,
I recently purchased a O2 locked Galaxy S from UK. I unlocked it and it works fine with every other network. Before unlocking it, i used to connect it with KIES, where it showed me about the Froyo upgrade [It notified me with the availability of the Froyo firmware update]. After the unlocking though, i am not being able to update my android Pls help.. The KIES says there are "no firmware upgrades" available [the latest KIES]
My Galaxy S Details are :
Baseband version - I9000XXJPK
Kernel 2 . 6 . 29 root SE-S608 #2
Build Number ECLAIR . ADJM1
I now want to upgrade the phone with Gingerbread. I need your help guys. I found the corresponding upgrade files with Odin. There was no direct upgrade files from 2.1 -> 2.3. But I have downloaded the 2.2 Odin files. its relevant for XXJPK. Now In order to upgrade mine from 2.1 -> 2.3, should I update with 2.2 and then upload 2.3. or can I directly update the phone with 2.3 Odin files.
I am not a pro, but i can do the flashing with basic guidance. Could you please help me out here.. I would be so grateful for your replies.
P.S: I have rooted the phone. But nothing else, no lag fixes, nothing. Just superuser. But I never use it.
Looking forward your replies folks. Please help.
is there any other method to make it work pls help members!!
Sincerely,
Lamboram
Hi,
In my opinion there is no update option in Kies, because Samsung didn`t relese any Gingerbread update for your region yet.
But if you realy need to upgrade, there are some Gingerbread ROMs at samfirmware.com, that you could flash through Odin. I sugest the latest stable relese of Darky`s ROM.

I recently received the OTA SPRINT GINGERBREAD 2.3.3. Like an idiot I accepted it...noW my root is gone and tethering as well. I ORIGINALLY rooted the Froyo using Gingerbreak. Now it does not work, hangs for hours...I tried using a Greens Droidroot kit, not to sure how how to use...Has anyone got the fix...and in terms that a noob will understand?
Baseband Version LS670mvh_6150
Kernel 2.6.35.7-perf
Build ZVH.41FEDad5
hi i am newbie
I bought samsung galaxy note GT-N7000 (THL). now i just upgraded android os official from 2.3 to 4.0.3 official throught samsung kie software. I wonder. if i want to rooted this android 4.0.3, so when samsung release new official android os, so i can upgrade throught samsung kie like before?
another problem is: Which open source softwares can backup whole app and android os and kernal without rooted device?
thank you
I'm fairly certain that you can update your device through official forums once you've rooted it. You may have to root it again after the update though.
Also you'll only get over the air updates if you keep the stock rom and bootloader, if you install something like clockwork recovery you will not be able to get your updates.
I know that the premium version of titanium backup can backup data from your apps but you definitely need root access to back up the full app.
Spend some time reading through the forums for your device, try searching around a bit, you may find that a custom rom is appealing, in which case you can root, backup your apps and get a better device.
Good luck!

Hi, I have a SGH-i727r (Not the Skyrocket, its the Canadian rogers variant) running on the stock 4.0.4 ROM from rogers, and i was thinking about rooting my phone recently, and I have found this method,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
but I am not sure if it will work on 4.0.4 since it only says 2.3.5 and 2.3.6
some other people on the forum seems to claim it works, but I never saw a result posted for the version & model of my phone.
By the way, if this doesn't work, is there a method that would, or simply an easier method such as SuperOneClick?
Thanks in advance
The easiest way is probably to install the modified room
They are always rooted out
Thanks but can you go into detail on how it works?
Sorry, I am new here
Hi all.
I have watched the NOOB Video. I have scoured the forum. I have looked at other Android sites. I,m at a loss.
I have recently been given an old stock GT-I5801 that was never updated and network locked to Orange. To be able to use the phone I unlocked it. I gave my rooted xperia x8 running a hacked 2.2 to my son, as I read that the I5801 had an official Froyo 2.2 update. I installed KIES, updated as requested when first running the software, and it doesn't recognise the phone. I tried uninstalling/re-installing KIES and not updating it, I found that the phone had two Home screens (orange and TwLauncher) I tried connecting using both.
I have found instructions on how to put the official firmware update on not using KIES but the links to the firmware its self are broken.
I decided to update to a Android system 2.3.7 / CyanogenMod 7.2, however the instruction require I root it, the instructions to root are for Froyo 2.2
I'm going around in circles, I'm at a loss. can any one point me in the right direction to get at least Froyo 2.2 official on this phone. Thanks.
P.S. I may of ignored the part in the NOOB video that tells us to be brief...........sorry.
Just flash cm7 or any rom with odin, check the flashing guide in sticky thread.

Well if that's the only way, would been nice to have a fully working 2.2 rather than a hack with issues. I'll go look into the least problematic one, cant be any worse than 2.1 stock.

GT-I5801 has indeed been updated to Froyo and Froyo is one of the more stable firmware/ROM for our mobile.
You can download any stock Froyo ROM of your wish from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497261.
Esle, you can look up to this thread to use any of the Custom ROMs which have better features than stock ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591
I prefer Kisadworx or PuruKisadHybrid.
Download Kyrillos rom or any rom flashable via Odin. Just flash it no need to root as many roms are prerooted.
