Hi All,
DroidXCon asked me for the update file on androidcentral, thought I would post it over here for everyone else to have.

*EDIT* I should note that this is no longer needed, is not rooted, and generally not useful anymore lol
Please see the following threads if you're interested in getting ED2 rooted:

Please follow the instructions closely; this is all done at your own peril. CWM Restore does not currently work, and will bootloop your phone. I won't be updating this thread, so please keep your eye on the above threads instead.

so, should I update downgrade to ED 1, root then flash the kernal v4.
Or can should I stay on ED2 (unrooted) then flash this. Thanks
follow up:
Actually, I just flashed this on my ED2 and got root back automatically. thanks
I'm coming from an EVO so i am new to Odin and all of this. How can i flash this Kernel? Can i flash through Clockwork like i used to (i downgraded with Odin to ED1 and rooted with Gingersnap). I'd obviously like to install the update and keep root.
The whole Odin thing scares me a little
Updated OP
Heloo,
I'm a noob, just switched from iphone. Got Galaxy s 4g and promptly rooted 2.2.1 with Superoneclick. Then I saw the 2.3.6 had been released and I installed it and lost my root.
All the methods I see right now use a program called Odin, and two files, and both update your phone to 2.3.6 as well as root.
How do I just do the root part? Can it be separated from the update? Or are the root and the update one and the same? Will putting 2.3.6 on again with Odin, if I have to, work ok? In other words, do I do something different or do the same thing.
Or is there another way for 2.3.6?
There are several references to it here. Search the forum for SuperOneClick 2.2; this will allow you to root 2.3.6.

Odin is proprietary software leaked by Samsung to write partition images to the phone from "Download Mode".
Heimdall is a reverse-engineered, open-source implementation of Odin written by Benjamin Dobell and others so that we don't have to depend on proprietary or leaked software.
Both do about the same thing, but IMO, heimdall is more flexible and easier to use.

Do not connect your phone to you computer yet!!!
Download KJ1 kernel for odin.
Download Odin 1.83
Start Odin
Click PDA and select the KJ1.tar.md5 that you downloaded
hold vol+ and vol- on your phone and plug in the usb cable. Don't let go of the vol+ and vol- until you either see a screen that allows you to enter download mode by pressing the volume+ key, or a neon triangle saying "Download Mode"
Now that you are in Download Mode, you should see odin saying that the serial port is connected. If so, Click "Start".
Just writing drhonk's kj1 kernel should give you root, as the description from the page says:
"- Auto root (kernel will automatically root your GB ROM if its not rooted and install superuser.apk)"
--
If you'd rather use Heimdall (your on linux or mac, and don't have a windows box to run Odin on):
Download Heimdall. Install it.
Extract the zImage from either the Odin or CWM package
Do the same procedure as with odin above to get into Download Mode.
Go to the "Utilities" page in heimdall-frontend. Click "Save As" in the "Download PIT" and save the file as "sgs4g.pit" (or whatever, as long as it is *.pit)
Go to the "Flash" page and browse for the PIT you just saved.
Click "Add" below the "Partitions (Files)" and select "Partition Name" that is "KERNEL", then browse for the zImage you extracted in step 2.
Do the same thing as Step 6, but use RECOVERY and still use the same zImage. (DO NOT SELECT "Repartition" OR "No Reboot")
Click Start
At the end of either Odin or Heimdall, the phone will reboot, and your phone should now have root and the awesome KJ1 kernel drhonk made.
Debugging mode n super oneclick

Hey bro,
I understood all of your steps but when i get to the flash step so i can choose the .pit file that i saved in the previous step it is no where to be found. Using Mac OSx btw.
EDIT: Simply forgot to put "hit download after initially saving the .pit file"

The newest superoneclick works for 2.3.6 i first did that its zergrush exploit
Sent From My Rockin' Galaxy S 4G
wow this worked like a damn charm thanks my friend
Im new as well
hey there people im new to the whole rooting as well but i have succesfully rooted my phone and have all the superuser permissions but i used the "Hiemdall process" and i see alot of threads talking about the "SOC" way of rooting and that same method for loading the custom roms
My questions is "If I want a custom rom on my phone are the methods the same as long as its rooted"
The SuperOneClick method is only for rooting. If you want to flash a ROM you have three methods. CWM, ODIN and Heimdall.
If you give us more information on what you are currently running (i.e. firmware 2.2.1 or 2.36) and are you complete stock we can give you directions on the easiest way to flash a custom ROM.
If you are still on stock and rooted you can read this thread for the easiest way to flash a custom ROM. Read the bold section headers and determine where you currently are in the process and go from there.

Here's a guide on installing ROMs:

Here is a list of custom ROMs you can install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/List_of_ROMs
this is what im running
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband Version t959vuvkj6
Kernel version 2.6.35.7
Buildnumber Gingerbread.vuvk6
Also i checked the link that showed how to load custom roms but my other question is can you use different methods of loading roms or should you stay using the same method you used to root the phone. I used Heimdall, but am i able to use odin or the clock work mod.

Yes, you have all those methods available to you. Note though that if you used Heimdall you won't get Odin to recognize your phone unless you install the Samsung drivers. Stick to Heimdall as it's more versatile, the only time you'll need to use Heimdall is when you soft brick anyway. From here on out most of the ROMs you're going to be flashing are gonna be CWM ROMs, so that's what you want to learn how to do well.
Hi noob here with a general question about the official 2.3.6 att upgrade, hope i posted in the right place. question is basically if and when the phone can gain root access. any answeres would be grately appreciated. thanx
it can gain root access now there just isn't a thread on it yet. I'd tell ya how but then nobody would see it. I am woking on packaging all the parts together and starting a thread. in the future it will get easier however if new kernel sorces are released. the only way to get root right now is through a kernel and the existing kernels have a few issues on the new firmware so you have to flash back to the stock one after.
adding a script to in initramfs on the new kernel is possible but the problem is that repcking initramfs in a kernel to flash to the phone is such a waste if the parts to build a better kernel are just around the corner.

Something like that.
There are some threads in the general and the q/a on the method.
Seriously, though, Victory runs on stock kernel and rooted and optimized uckl2.
Sounds like Dani will release a rooted package in a few days

On Victory OP, the second post has an odin infused gb kernel - towards the bottomof the page.
you can download that kernel to your pc.
you will need to know how to use odin.
you will need to dl victory..some the of links still works..the mulitload first link doesn't..the deposit link..4-5 down still works
after you odin the kernel, you will boot into a red recovery..
you will need to go to the voodoo option and disable lagfix
then you can flash victory through the cwm menu
make sure you disable lagfix like the OP says..follow direction ...you are alread on rfs file system..not ext4
if you mess up and get stuck on the bootloop..don't worry..odin back to stock..whichever stock and start over.

After you have DL the odin infused gb kernel and flashed it,
you will need to boot into recovery. it should be red.
instead of going into voodoo lagfix to disable, you will not have to do anything with it.
you will only need to factory reset, wipe data and wipe cache, go to advance, wipe dalvik.
then flash zeus build 5.2 stock.
zeus uses voodoo file sytem (ext4) ..
victory uses stock uckl2 rfs file system. that is why hdmi output is not broken.
read my help page a few times..it should help clear things up...there are some links on there that will be helpful

yes. root is not actually in the kernel for use. its a script that moves it to the rom where it stays. the root kernel is only needed for 1 boot. its the only way to move a file with root privilege before you gain root privilege for the user.
I was working on a oneclick root kernel package and an update.zip to return You to the stock kernel and update su but my update script keeps getting parsing error. I have to do it all over again in a different text editor... lame. the update.zip would be good even for custom roms because I added vold.fstab from the stock rom which will fix sdcard mounting if it was changed for a Rogers kernel.
I have searched this site and the web relentlessly trying to find a guide on flashing kernels with odin i have all the necessary files downloaded just can't find info on the process. Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Did you download the odin infused gb kernel from post #2 in the victory thread?
Open it with 7zip.
Extract odin and the kernel.
If you have the correct drivers, run odin.
It should show up comm## something.
Put the kernel in the pda...i think..havent used odin in a while.
Put your phone in DOWNLOAD mode, see my help page. Flash with odin.

You are still incorrect. That is not the easiest way to get CWM. And you are welcome. The first link in my signature is the easiest way for NOOBS to get going. Read it and you will see. No Heimdall. No ODIN. Very easy stuff.
Rooting and downloading SGS Kernel Flasher beats the hell out of Heimdall and ODIN if you ask me.

Which method are you using to get root and CWM recovery? It sounds like you are trying to use the old method of installing the modified 3e recovery and then using an update.zip. There is an updated way to do this with AT&T 2.3.6, and the old way doesn't quite work the same anymore. Let me know which method you're trying so I know where to direct you from there.
EDIT: Since I'm pretty sure that you are using the old method from stock Froyo to get root and CWM recovery, take a look at this thread. It's a how-to that explains most of the ways to get root and CWM recovery on 2.3.6.:

It sounds like the old way using an update.zip. In Froyo, we used to replace the stock recovery with a 3e recovery that would allow unsigned files to be flashed. Then we'd flash an update.zip that contained CWM recovery. Just curious, how did you root, and is this AT&T Gingerbread?
I'd read through that how-to thread I posted. If you can use Heimdall or Odin, there are some quick ways to get CWM recovery. In that thread, I've also outlined how to do it yourself on stock 2.3.6.

Before you go any further, we need to investigate something. First, let's confirm that you are on AT&T 2.3.6, because most of us haven't found or made a working one-click program to root stock 2.3.6 directly. Can you go to Settings / About Phone and tell me what is listed under "Baseband version"?
If you can do that to confirm that this is AT&T 2.3.6, I'd really like to know what program you used. Or did you root the phone before you were on Gingerbread?
Any of those links that I've given you in the last post will give you CWM (clockwork) recovery to install different roms. An easy way would be to do Option C or Option D at this one. Either one will do. Here's the link again.:

Okay, cool. You're definitely on AT&T Gingerbread. If you figure out how you rooted, let us know. If you flash Option C or Option D at the last link I gave you - again - then you'll be able to flash other roms.
Okay !! Thats So Much !! ))
