I got the ucld2 update, and did the 1 click method. Now I can't root my phone. I've tried about 3 methods for rooting and nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had this problem (or more likely), is it just me?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
There is a thread in the dev section by starskyrob on how to root the new ics leak
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Maybe start from fresh man I would use a one click tool like the ics leak to get you back in the right direction just put your phone into download mode and sit back and watch if you can't obtain root then something is wrong
Edit: like the post above me just go to the development thread and in the stickies you will find a guide on how to run Odin with the ics leak, super simple good luck and let us know what happens
Did the root, and it looks like it takes, but I try and run Titanium Backup to restore my apps and it tells me I'm not rooted. I'm not sure what I've done wrong, but this is the same root method I used on GB and it worked fine.
I think its a little different from ics I think you need to install clockwork recovery and then you need to flash a super user package to your phone it takes like three attempts to flash it maybe mor but it eventually goes through and that's it you are rooted
Got root to take, now my specs r as follows...
Android Version, 2.3.5
Baseband, I727UCLD2
Kernal 2.6.35.11
Build, Gingerbread.UCKJ2
Now, I know I'm a noob but isn't this Gingerbread? LOL
Looks to me as if it's GB with UCLD2.

Yeah, it looks like you are running an ICS radio on a 2.3 gb rom

I just updated my phone to Gingerbread and now it seems to have some problems.
1st - It will not install any apps. It does a quick restart everytime it starts installing an app
2nd - There is no longer any snooze button when i set an alarm.
Anyone have any idea what I might have done?
Here are the phones specs
Firmware version 2.3.5
Baseband version t959vukd1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-t959vuvkg4-cl385158
Build number Ginberbread.vuvkg4
Get yourself a KJ6 based ROM. Right now you have a KG4 rom which was a leaked version of Gingerbread. KJ6 is based off of 2.3.6, which is newer and has been officially released by Samsung.

Do you think this would be the best?
Also what would be the best way to flash this? Im still trying to figure that out

Flashing that way requires you to have Clock Work Recovery Mod (CWM) installed. If you have it, that's how you would flash it. If not, then go back into the dev section and look for RaverX3X's ODIN version of KJ6 stock.
Thank you i will see if i can find it.

The download should only have the 1 file; it goes into the PDA section. Let ODIN decide what's checked & not checked.
Hi am a total noob here so i deicided to update my galaxy S 4G to 2.3.6 but i don't like how it looks or what it changed to the phone and i basically want to go back to stock firmware or 2.3.4.
I know you can use Odin to complete this task but am not so sure which version or how to perfrom this task...so i need a brief tutorial on how to bring it back to normal (download links would be helpful) Thank You
Did u update your phone OTA?
Also 2.3.4 is GB which is basically the same as 2.3.6.
I think whar you want is to go back to froyo which is 2.2.
Just ssearch for the KD1 file to flash your phone with Odin back to Froyo.

Prior to the 2.3.6 update in Kies Mini the stock firmware was Froyo-based (2.2.1 which was KD1). If you're wating to go back, check the Dev section. There's a sticky for the Bible that can point you to some other ROMs. Search the Dev section, too, if you're looking for a specific ROM/version.

That first link will get you onto KF1, which was a leaked GB ROM. The second is KD1 (Froyo) but has root and those things. I don't know of any non-rooted Froyo based ROMs on here, though someone may be able to correct me on that.
I looked in the file and that particular ROM does not have the boot loaders. Give me a few minutes & I'll try to find you a link.
We don't have true stock kd1. Someone is supposedly working on it. You can get close or....call t mobile and tell them you don't like the upgrade.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Try this one. It's KC1 and flashable via ODIN. Once you have this, then use the KD1 you found in the Bible to get to KD1.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kc1c...k.zip/download
+1 to what Bassmanjames said regarding no stock KD1. You're kinda stuck until one is developed.
Its okay thank you guys for trying and helping.
Who knows maybe Samsung just might release 2.3.7 (highly doubt it thought)

Definitely doubtful but I don't think you'd see much of a user interface (UI) change. That would probably come from getting Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) which, again, doubtful but we keep hoping
Let me know if you need help getting that to flash via ODIN.
I highly recommend Valhalla Final, which is a custom ROM, but is stock solid and stable and is 2.3.6.
I believe it will be the best we could get out of this phone.
Samsung will not give us ICS.
Besides, according to Google changelogs the only difference between 2.3.6 & 2.3.7 is the Google wallet service.

Its been available for I think over 2 months now. ATT just sucks. But yes, there is an official GB update but that update has been on the forums as an unofficial release (KK4) for a long while. I highly recommend the update and then I recommend immedaitely flashing a custom rom as the stock update isnt much of an improvement upon 2.2 Froyo.

I got the message today. I'm running Cog 4.5.3, so I'm thinking it's not worth upgrading?
Has anyone tried this ROM for a decent amount of time yet? I'm just curious for stability purposes. I'm having decent luck with ICS, but until things smooth out a little, I'm contemplating just switching to something stable. I have no idea if this meets that description though
Yep. Have it rooted with corn kernel and its smooth and fast enough for me.

The "official" upgrade is the KK4 build that leaked about 3 months ago. They're exactly the same. So if you've tried the stock KK4 or any KK4-based custom ROM then you've experienced it.
I'm running a KK4-based ROM. It's reasonably stable; however, it's much smoother and (for me) more stable if you flash the most recent Corn kernel (7.06) on top of it.

I downloaded and finally got GB installed last night. However, I tried to root with super one click but it stops on step 7. Sounds like a lot of people have had this issue. How are you rooting? I'm pretty noob with this stuff, so I'd prefer something like one click rather than odin.

It's not that I didn't search (in fact I already discovered the thread you linked to), it's that we're looking for a one-click method rather than using odin. Are there any solutions for the problems we're having with Super One Click? Or perhaps another one-click solution that we're not familiar with?
There are two threads in this forum just below this one that provide all the info and files you need. Take a look. Worked for me ( and thanks to OPs for that). Flash gb, then a kernel that gives you root. I tried a few, like corn 7x best. Were not any one clicks out there for gb root a month ago, may not be yet.

Download the kernel file directly to your phone, use an app from market to flash it, no odin. Try SGS.

There are no one click methods that I know of. You really should learn to use Odin. Its not hard at all and opens alot of doors as to what you can do with your phones. I mean, its laid out step by step in that thread. Just follow instructions. I imagine we all can do that.
Thanks for all the info guys. I followed the instructions from the link below and everything went smoothly. Thanks again for all the input.

I screwed up and put vibrant firmware on the S 4g and now the phone stuck in a boot loop. It seems like I can still connect to the phone using Odin. So my guess is that I have to put the stock software back. Any help identifying the right file? Whatever I can find is all for rooted phones and for Voodoo.
I didn't root the phone, so I don't know if I can flash it with anything but stock. I don't know what Voodoo is, but I didn't install it.
You can flash any odin flashable rom.....look in the stickies in the developement section.....but some say you should flash a stock rom.....i flash back to ravers stock gb rom when i feel a need

You rock, dude! Thanks a lot!
The phone is operational after I completed steps 1-8b. I wasn't sure if I needed to do the rest since I don't have a "favorite GB ROM". Nor do I know what it is for that matter . I guess I need to do some reading during my spare time unless you care to tell me what GB ROM is and what my favorite GB ROM should be.
So, what do I have on my phone after these steps? What's kc1 and k6? Am I rooted at this point?

KC1 is Froyo and KJ6 is GB.
Finally it occurred to me that gb is Gingerbread...
The question remains: Am I rooted at this point? Also, is the GB FBis251 recommended pure stock or with some additional flavor? Why doesn't kies recognize the phone?
I recommend you stay on Gingerbread. Follow the guide all the way through and you'll be on rooted stock KJ6 (Gingerbread 2.3.6). You can also try out some custom ROMs at that point. Check out the development section, there are around 5 actively developed roms right now.

Neeed help pls, cant install stock android 2.1 whit odin, my captivate its only accept from android 2.2 and further.
Just out of curiousity, is there some specific reason you need 2.1? If you're just wanting to go back to it for nostalgic reasons, I think that the one-clicks in Development section are the only way to go right now.
If you're just trying to go back to stock for warranty purposes, I believe that AT&T officially pushed out the Gingerbread update, so you could flash that one and take it in.

If you're only going to be going to a Jellybean rom, you could also just download a Gingerbread-based stock one-click from the development section (with bootloaders) and flash that. It would get rid of the 3e error, and give you the bootloaders you'll need to flash anything else as well.
As always, be careful when flashing bootloaders, though. Make sure you have a good connection to you computer.
