[ROOT] G2X Gingerbread 2.3.3. stock ROM with flashable zip in Clockworkmod Recovery works with stock froyo or your stock Ginger ,there's also an unroot zip

Noodles is right. It's a VERY simple process when you follow the instructions. It seems like no matter how many people I tell about this, it never catches on and G2x users keep saying "it's not possible." It either needs to be stickied, or added to the "[REF] ALL ROMS | ROOTING | FAQs | STICKIES | POSTING RULES | Read Before Posting" that's already stickied.
*EDIT:
just PMed the author of the thread I just mentioned. Hopefully he'll add it to his list...
Seriously, simplest process.. unbrickable in my opinion.. back and forth.. root and unroot so many times with this, especially since I've had 3replacements .. I probably sent 2 back with the green signals by mistake but they're all unrooted when I sent them

I'm a newbie on the board here, but anyway, I hear a lot of good things about changing the rom on your phone, but my question is what rom do I use? Can I use any custom samsung galaxy rom? Is there a difference?

Use roms only in the SGS4G Dev Section. Any others will brick.

Only things on the S 4G dev section can be used. Vibrant Roms will brick your phone.
Use Krylons CWM not Rom managers
Before you do anything.... if you brick your phone (e.g - bootloop, brick screen, etc.), DO NOT freak out. You will most likely be able to fix it. Just search for Odin and use that to get your phone back to normal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
Check out the Bible. I recommend you check out the Odin flashing guide, then pick out an Odin ROM from the Bible.
Once you have root, you can install CWM and then you can start trying out some of the CWM ROMs. Fun fun. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong you can always just post back. Don't forget to make a backup of anything you don't wanna lose (right now that'd be pretty much just your SD Card)
Thanks for the great info. One more question, is the i9000 the same as the galaxy s 4g?

Yes check the bible. Definite must trys are whitehawks deodexed kd1, krylond bionix kd1, dr. honks bali kernel and in the market supercurio's voodoo conyrol. Also sextons ext4 and many more like robbitt, blkphoenix and others all have a bevel of goodies to make ur phone a kick a$$ beast! Most of all read. I suggest using google to search cuz xda always comes up, sometimes search app in forum produces mixed results. Happy tweaking ur phone!

Do you have CWM recovery installed?
Hi
If you're already on GB, then you probably have the right bootloaders. Are you rooted? If so, then you have little to do. Just follow the SGS 4G bible and the opening post of the thread related to the ROM you want to go to.

careful, KF roms had jacked bootloaders that can cause problems. You want to start with a later rom build, like a KG or KH rom. Follow the guide HolyGhostBoy posted above with FB's Ext4 starter pack, and you'll be good to go.
Yeah FB GB starter pack if your coming from either kf build. Good luck with download mode though, you will probably need adb to get there.

I upgraded my 2.2 rooted Cappy to 2.3.5 using Samsung Mini Kies everything worked perfect and now I want to root my phone again, any help with this?
P.D.: I dont want to flash any custom kernels or any custom anything as I saw on another thread, I just want to re-root my phone.
Sorry friend but you're going to have to have to flash a new kernel to allow you to root.

As the sticky at the top of the forum says, do not post questions here in General, post them in Q&A.

In the Dev Section, I suggest you do some(LOTS) reading and searching cause I see this ending in a bad way.

Well only reason he was giving you precautionary tips was because you needed to create a whole thread on where to get ROM's when the Dev section is just a couple spots under the General section...

True. Im thankfull 4 any advice n tips. Ive just used one click root for mac though it seems i didnt root. I hold down volume n power n it seems like it restores me back to stock.
I will be nice and point you in the direction you need. Look up NVflash this is how you get cwm. Unlike most phones you can flash the recovery before you get root. Make sure you do a backup of the stock rom and keep a copy on your computer. Then flash what ever rom you wish.
By keeping your stock unrooted back up will allow easy restore of stock system and the use of nvflash to go back to stock recovery if warranty is ever needed.

Thank Scooter and follow the links he gave you. You don't really need to achieve root in able to flash ROM's for this phone. You just need CWM via NVFlash and you're good to go.
To put it onto perspective, NVFlash is kinda like Odin.

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Odin can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Stop flashing stuff
Look in dev section
Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers
