ROOTING:
Since z4root, one of the easiest ways to root, is not working on Froyo in Galaxy 3, I decided to make this separate thread for instructions on how to root Froyo using Superoneclick.
First and foremost: Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development. Make sure it is ticked.
Download the attached Superoneclickv1.5.zip file. Extract its contents. Make sure your phone drivers are installed on the computer (Samsung Kies). Then follow the steps:
1. From the extracted contents, run the file named Superoneclick.
2. Turn off your phone, then connect it to the computer using the USB Cable. Don't turn on the phone. Keep it off but connected to the computer.
3. In Superoneclick, click on the 'Root' button. After a few seconds, it'll say 'Waiting for device'.
4. Now turn on your phone (while it is still connected to the computer). Superoneclick will detect the phone.
5. Now the phone will be rooted, while it is starting up. When it is started, it'll be rooted.
6. After rooting, download and install busybox on your phone. It should take care of any slowing down of your phone after rooting.
That's it. The phone is now rooted, although it would be so much better if z4root worked on Froyo..
For those getting stuck at the 'pushing raceagainstthecage' step, try this method. Credits go to haree:
1. login as admin and then open the application. Or right click on Superoneclick.exe and click on 'Run as administrator'.
2. turn off ur Virus protection
3. remove all the additional external USB devices(this seems to confuse the SW)
i removed all the above mentioned
and then follow the instructions u will be successful
it worked for me now i have 2.2 and rooted

UNROOTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Unfortunately, the method to unroot by clicking on the Unroot button in Superoneclick does not work. So follow the following steps to unroot.
1. Download rootexplorer.apk (attached) and install Root Explorer on phone.
2. Run Root Explorer. A 'Superuser Request' prompt will come up. Press Allow.
3. Now, on the top, there will be a button saying 'Mount R/W'. Press it. It should change to 'Mount R/O'. The button should say 'Mount R/O' in order for you to be able to do anything in the following steps.
4. Now scroll to the bottom, click on system. Then click on bin.
5. In the bin folder, look for a file named 'su'. Long press on this file, and select Delete to delete it.
6. Now go back to the system folder by pressing the Back button once.
7. Now enter the app folder. Scroll down and look for the file named 'superuser.apk'. Long press on this file and delete it.
8. Exit Root Explorer after this. Uninstall it if you don't want to use it.
9. That's it. Your phone will be un-rooted.
Another method to unroot:
1. Download and install Terminal Emulator (attached).
2. Run Terminal Emulator on the phone. If you don't see a keyboard to type, press Menu and press Toggle Soft Keyboard.
3. Type su and press enter. Press Allow on the 'Superuser Request' prompt. The $ sign will change to a #.
4. Now type the following line exactly as it is and press enter: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
5. Nothing will happen visually. The pointer will shift to a new line.
6. Now type the following line and press enter: rm /system/bin/su
7. Again, type following line and press enter: rm /system/app/superuser.apk.
8. Now exit Terminal Emulator. Your phone is un-rooted.
Hehe, first i thought it makes no sense to write a howto on this since its described in the SOC thread anyway, but man the idea to do it during boot is ubercool, didn't think of that...

I know it's explained in the SOC thread, but many people keep asking on the "Samsung Galaxy 3 GT-i5800: root, gps fix, upgrading" thread about rooting Froyo, so I thought it's better to have one SOC thread right in the Galaxy 3's Development Section. It'll save everyone reading through a lot of pages on that thread..

Can't unroot using the same procedure, but have added another procedure to do it.
This method does work for everyone. The only new step in my procedure is to do it while the phone is booting.

Are your phone drivers properly installed? Does your computer make a 'Hardware connected' ding sound when you turn on the phone? If not, then you'll have to install Samsung Kies and then connect the phone to the computer to install the drivers. Try rooting after that.
all drivers are installed.. i reinstalled twice.. when i connect in usb debugg.. says installing some adb stuff after fews secs.. comp says hardware might not work properly not properly installed. all other drivers wrk fine.. wat can i do to install adb drivers properly. . i have windows xp

Connect your phone to your computer. Then open the Device Manager. Then look for the entry 'SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface' in the list. It might be under the ADB Interface tab. Right click on the 'SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface' and uninstall it.
Then reconnect your phone to the computer and see if the ADB drivers get installed properly this time.
did that also....uninstalled and connected the phone. still the same error..
hardware not properly installed.. it might not work properly
i got windows xp 32-bit

Sorry, I'm using Windows 7, so I've no idea what to do about the drivers in Windows XP. Try updating Kies..
i also have win 7 and it doesnt work...help??

I can't help if the drivers on your computer are not installed properly. After connecting the phone while it is ON, open the Device Manager and see if the ADB driver is properly installed.
If the drivers are properly installed, this method will work..
Edit: As mentioned by mhndk14 below, enable USB Debugging in Settings>Applications>Development.
I also had the same problem with windows 7. Just make sure that the USB Debugging is enabled and then try again. It worked for me.
how to bring the phone back to factory settings

To remove the Live Wallpapers, you'll have to root your phone, and then use Root Explorer to remove the files Livewallpaperspicker.apk from system/app, and libRS.so and librs_jni.so from system/bin. Then un-root your phone. Be sure to press the 'Mount R/W' button in Root Explorer to be able to delete the files.
As for restoring your boot menu, that procedure is there somewhere in the Development section. The boot menu changes because of upgrading, not rooting.
It seems i have lost haptic feedback after rooting(jpb), anybody else experience this?
Edit: lol
It was probably sue to the "forced" reboot, but I accidently dropped my phone (batteries feel out) and now it's working

Yeah, haptic feedback stops working sometimes on JPA and JPB after rooting. But restarting the phone corrects it. (Although your method of restarting the phone was too brutal!! )
Thanks addicted2088...worked perfectly...
successfully rooted..........

Hi Friend,
I have rooted my Alcatel OT990 with Super One Click
The bigest problem for me was to find drivers
This is for those people who not have much experience about rooting n those who got tired of HSUSB drivers for Alcatel OT 990, here is simple solution.
Step 1: install PDANet to pc here is link http://junefabrics.com/android/
Step 2: While installing PDANet u ll get windows prompt...... click on Install Anyway
"
Step 3: During installation further u ll get a pop up saying..... Insure USB Debugging is On.... etc connect ur Phone n click on Yes (You must have turn on usb debugging in your phone for that go to settings > applications > development > Usb debugging)
Stup 4: Install SuperOneClick to your pc, Download SuperOneClick 1.9.5 (Later versions May NOT WORK!) Here is link http://www.4shared.com/zip/A-qwLIMw/Root_for_22OT-990.html
Step 5: Go to the Downloaded SuperOneClick folder,there will be a folder called "ADB" open it. There you will find 2 adb.exe files,one for Win 7,and one for Win XP.
Open your required file, it will show a command prompt window, Type "adb devices" and you should get something like 1234567890ABCDEF
If you get that,just close it.
Step 6: Now right click on Superoneclick icon and run as administrator.
Stup 7: Hit the Root button in superoneclick window and it will start rooting ur fone.
Step 8: while rooting it will ask u to.... Chek it by test Run.....press ok n ur phone is rooted ( To ensure u can c superuser app in your phones apps after rooting)
Dear Friends Now driver problem is already solved with this updated version of Alcatel Androidmanager download and install it from here http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/products/smartphones/ot-990.html

Wrong place, but it worked for me (although I had to stop the pda app on my phone in order for superoneclick to root it). I got titanium backup running which confirmed rootage, I may well have installed several virii on both my win7 netbook and my ot990 ( ), but at least I can delete some of the apps that I previously couldn't and can now work on install clockwork and a stock rom without all the apps I don't want on my phone but can't delete..
So thank you Mr/Ms Original Poster.
Worked like a charm!

This is a great phone.
Thanks!
Just tried this out, and it works!
I'm going to buy a Galaxy Nexus soon, but this helps bridge the time. now I can remove some of the preinstalled apps, to save some of the extremely small amount of memory this phone has... still don't understand why they did that.
Can you please explain me when I root the phone what I get? And how can I move my instalation files on SD card. Thank you in front.
uhm.. i have alcatel ot-985n blaze.
I don't have an experience about rooting. Can you guys help me to root my phone?
I need to put other files to my sd card because I can't install some apps anymore with low internal memory.
thanks in advance! ;D
Hi to all here. i just want to ask anyone what to do with my phone. well first of all, my phone is a sky pantech vega racer im-a760s, not really a match for samsungs popularity but budget wise this is the model for me. it has a dual core. now my problem starts when i started editing the build.prop in its system (tweaked for some texting problem of limited character sending). of course i know what im doing on that part, but the only thing i didn't think that would happen was, i copied it in my computer, i edited it there, then i saved it as "all" in file type so it wont become a ".txt" format. but when i placed it in my phone. the file instantly disappeared, i think it was only hidden and the phone just cant identify it nor read it like something. now i restarted the phone, it booted up to its logo then it just went blank and it just stops there. i tried pushing recovery with adb in my pc cmd. but it cannot detect my device(no problem with my adb installation to eliminate this from the question), i also tried putting an sd card with a recovery file but there was no option for sd card path. but the phone can still function well, i know because it can still be loaded under flashboot, download screen and S / W upgrade menu and it can still perform wipes for all partition and caches and can reset for factory settings etc. but whenever i will reboot, its not going to complete. anyone please help me how to make my phone be detected by my pc. The usb drivers are just fine, updated it many times, read all procedure for making the driver connect perfectly. i reformatted the sd so it wont be a problem when i put it in. but in the recovery menu i just cant see my sd card, theres just the option for "update from external storage" but it doesn't have anything inside. what a mess. i cant make my phone reflashed cause its not responding with the connection with my pc. but when i am opening an odin (just used for connection monitoring) there are two yellow boxes with com port like these: 0:[com7] and 0:[com9], so i know it is still somehow communicating with my pc. please help any advice, i dont want to resort to jtag for im not sure if it will support my phone and it's already avialable for the model but definitely not going to send my phone for repair cause it will be costly. thanks to all who will respond. Please help thank you. additionally: OS was ics version 4.0.4 and rooted. already gone through rooting several times with no problem. just the editing part.
to edit Android files on Windows use only Notepad++ anyway do not use Windows notepad this is for Windows files formatting only
well, you have to get build.prop from your phone edit on PC then copy back
so enter recovery connect phone to PC create a folder say C:\tmp
to get build.prop from phone
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
mount system
exit
that's to mount system partition then
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\tmp\build.prop
edit it and copy back to phone
Code:
adb push C:\tmp\build.prop /system/build.prop
maybe is not your case ? but I wanted to give you an idea
@ruscan.calin
Thanks, great. i will try this one once i get my phone recognized by my pc, adb seems not able to find my devcie have this message like this one:
"
c:\>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully *
list of devices attached "
and that's it nothing happens.
thanks for the advice i will definitely use this once i get my phone connected with my system. thanks a lot

Hi, cant still afford to make the adb component in my device manager to appear, but it's good to inform you that it helped me a bit because i was able to see the storage of my phone and i was also able to put some files in there without any hassle that alone was satisfying me that my phone is not really dead. sad to say i did everything i could to have my pc detect my phone via recovery menu, but still no devices found. it's really weird that some links are saying that i should make my phone's "usb debugging" enabled, wherein fact i cant even go beyond my original problem(bricked phone), i can't even see the inside of my phones directory, only the storage one that was activated just recently. i even did a reinstallation of my usb, uninstalled every other phone related usb installation to avoid conflicts reinstalled my phones proper usb installer then restart. no progress still to be called. it makes me feel that the phone was just trap in the state of booting and not knowing what to do because it cant see any command inside its system. i cant go into the systems directory as well. and that's the only way i think i could revive my phone in replacing a new build.prop, as you advised to be edited in a notepad++ which i recently acquired and installed. by the way how do i save the build.prop to its original file format, and what is the extension. thanks alot for helping out. im getting a little brighter each step of the way, im not loosing it to come to smashing my phone to pieces instead of keeping a very expensive paper weight.
usb debugging enabled is not useful in this case (you can't set it )
build.prop is a file with .prop extension save file with notepad++ name it build.prop then check location of file it should be build.prop notepad from Windows saves it as build.prop.txt that's not good also notepad adds some formatting characters inside file that's wrong so use only Notepad++ when working on Android files (or VIM for Windows editor etc anyway do not use Windows editors they are good for Windows files only)
-try these things on another computer (to install drivers etc)
-I advised somebody to send a mail to manufacturer and he got a reply with a link to stock rom... that's great !
-if you link me your build.prop file I can tell you if it's ok
-pc link - that's to be solved firstly check manufacturer site for sync software/ drivers even send mail

that's great news, you actually come to emailing the phones manufacturer? wow, im flattered. well you're a very nice guy to help me out on this. and i have good news too. i found out that i have a little conflicting usb drivers, as i have installed samsung for my previous phone(samsung galaxy 1) i had it liquidated for this new one. but a little hard on the support. you gave me a new idea about the usb. so i uninstalled all the related usb drivers and have it reinstalled. now i am able to communicate with OTA firmware server, and i got a reading that was not happening before(stucked in just detecting the phone) now i have a percentage reading of downloading or so. but i still have to wait if it will complete and have it repaired. so by now you can give me a little more help cause im still not at it in pushing through the use of adb programming. and the link you mentioned, i'll wait for the progress about it and see what really was it. and thanks a lot. really appreciate it.
fixed bricked phone via OTA by fixing link to pc.
Hi, i thank you for your help. i managed to fix the phone myself. i just missed the simple step that you advised me. fix the link first to pc. i have installed another model of the phone for the same manufacturer with different type so that was causing the mixed up for updating and recovering via the OTA site of the phone. so yey. you helped a lot. i thank you. i am now running at ics version 4.0.4 and now rooted. i will not commit the same mistake of saving the build.prop with another format. that was bad. so then i'll be very careful in editing the build.prop and first of all, i will keep a backup inside where i can access it even if it will be hard bricked. never forget that one from now on. so this is it. i thank you. of all the place ive been circling around for answer. here is where i found it. and just one person. hooray. thank you very much.

Yeah usb debugging is on but the computer doesnt recognize it as a adb device
Make sure you have the right drivers installed on your computer. Try removing and re-adding them. Also, try a different USB cable.
i connect adb device,but i stuck at

Did you put the cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img file on the SD card? Also, if you're sure that's the correct CWM for your device, you can use Android Flash Recovery to flash it.

I have no clue what I'm doing because I have never had to use ad before. Everything I have read about rooting the pantech burst says I have to use it. I have downloaded the files and I click "run" then all the other stuff I have to, open the command promt and type in "dir" and it shows it in the directory but when I try to put all the stuff It says that it "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" I downloaded the 64 bit version of adb and I'm running windows 7 that's 64 bit, can anyone help me?
I have a new Pantech Element on the latest ROM. I spent all day trying to root - the latest one-click seemed to work, but when it rebooted it failed.
I was able to finally succeed with this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532
Download the latest adb_restore_rooting and with developer mode enabled run "post.bat". Worked for me and SuperSU actually stuck through reboot for once.
***ONLY FOR RELAYS RUNNING ICS 4.0.4***
Samsung had just released the official Jelly Bean 4.1 update for this phone on April 22 or so and this root method only works for Ice Cream Sandwich devices.
I know there's already a thread of how to root the ICS Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G which is right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34515281 but I thought that it may be hard for some people to do it without a visual tutorial. Here's my helpful tutorial video of how to root the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G: https://plus.google.com/u/0/108388305247615258469/videos <-- You can easily find the video because it's the only video on that album.
Files Needed:
Winrar: http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0
Odin v3.07: http://www.4shared.com/zip/CGo6TP1O/Odin307.html? or for the latest and updated versions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
Rooted System IMG: http://www.4shared.com/rar/nhGK59WR/SGHT699_rootedtar.html?
CWM File: http://www.4shared.com/zip/wLHTlktW/cwmtar.html?
If none of the links above work, message me at [email protected] or reply to this topic and I will reupload the files.
Steps:
1) On your phone, go to Settings-->Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging.
2) Turn off your phone and put it in Download Mode/Odin mode.
3) Download the odin307, sght699_rooted.tar, and that cwm.tar files from the links given above.
4) Extract all the files with WinRAR or other file extracting programs.
5) Open Odin v3.07
6) Make sure that it says "Added!" on the bottom left box. If it doesn't say Added, unplug and plug your phone from the computer.
7) Deselect/Uncheck "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time"
8) Click on Phone and a pop up should come up.
9) Find the SGHT699_rooted folder that you extracted in Step 4 and open the file inside it.
10) Click Start. This will take a while but it should not take more than 14 minutes.
11) Once it's done, click Reset.
12) Unplug and plug your phone again. It should say "Removed!" when unplugged and "Added!" when plugged on the bottom left box.
13) Deselect/Uncheck "F. Reset Time" but this time, keep the "Auto Reboot" marked/checked.
14) Click on PDA and a popup should come up.
15) Find the cwm folder that you extracted in Step 4 and open the cwm.tar.md5 file.
16) Click Start.
Once it finishes, your phone should reboot and be rooted. To check if it is actually rooted, go on Applications and find Superuser. If it is there, then you are rooted. Enjoy!!
Very nice. You are missing information, need to add the original posts/threads for the files that you mirrored so we can get version numbers and dates associated with the downloads. Feel free to edit the wiki in my sig if you want to help!
Ok. Thanks, but there's a problem. The files I mirrored other than Odin v3.07 are gone. The original link where the original tutorial was is gone. I had the link in my bookmarks but when I click on it, the webpage is unavailable. Ive tried viewing it from other computers and devices and it still wont work. So I decided to make a new one. Thanks again! The links should be updated in a few.

USB won't connect properly; want to un-root
You're rooting video was very helpful.
However, now that the phone is rooted, when I try to connect to my computer with USB cable, I get error message to the effect that the computer can't recognize the hardware ID of the device, so can't back-up the files on the phone or the SD card. I have all the latest Samsung USB drivers, and the computer recognizes that a Samsung device is connected, but the USB connection fails anyway.
How do I un-root the phone - do I have to boot up in download mode and use ODIN? Will this wipe my data, or just go back to the unrooted ROM and keep my data intact?

Here's my helpful tutorial video of how to root the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKgemJTeRWo
Files Needed:
Winrar: http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0
Odin v3.07: http://www.4shared.com/zip/CGo6TP1O/Odin307.html? or for the latest and updated versions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
Rooted System IMG: http://www.4shared.com/rar/nhGK59WR/SGHT699_rootedtar.html?
CWM File: http://www.4shared.com/zip/wLHTlktW/cwmtar.html?
If none of the links above work, message me at [email protected] or reply to this topic and I will reupload the files.
Steps:
1) On your phone, go to Settings-->Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging.
2) Turn off your phone and put it in Download Mode/Odin mode.
3) Download the odin307, sght699_rooted.tar, and that cwm.tar files from the links given above.
4) Extract all the files with WinRAR or other file extracting programs.
5) Open Odin v3.07
6) Make sure that it says "Added!" on the bottom left box. If it doesn't say Added, unplug and plug your phone from the computer.
7) Deselect/Uncheck "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time"
8) Click on Phone and a pop up should come up.
9) Find the SGHT699_rooted folder that you extracted in Step 4 and open the file inside it.
10) Click Start. This will take a while but it should not take more than 14 minutes.
11) Once it's done, click Reset.
12) Unplug and plug your phone again. It should say "Removed!" when unplugged and "Added!" when plugged on the bottom left box.
13) Deselect/Uncheck "F. Reset Time" but this time, keep the "Auto Reboot" marked/checked.
14) Click on PDA and a popup should come up.
15) Find the cwm folder that you extracted in Step 4 and open the cwm.tar.md5 file.
16) Click Start.
Once it finishes, your phone should reboot and be rooted. To check if it is actually rooted, go on Applications and find Superuser. If it is there, then you are rooted. Enjoy!!

You're rooting video was very helpful.
However, now that the phone is rooted, when I try to connect to my computer with USB cable, I get error message to the effect that the computer can't recognize the hardware ID of the device, so can't back-up the files on the phone or the SD card. I have all the latest Samsung USB drivers, and the computer recognizes that a Samsung device is connected, but the USB connection fails anyway.
How do I un-root the phone - do I have to boot up in download mode and use ODIN? Will this wipe my data, or just go back to the unrooted ROM and keep my data intact?

Oops, sorry. Forgot the part of your reply that said you've installed all the drivers. What do you mean by it can't recognize it? Does the SGH-T699 still show up on your My Computer?
If you want to unroot, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166242
Just follow the steps and no, it won't wipe out all your data (Well, it didn't wipe mine, but I'm sure it won't.)

When I connect the USB cable, Windows has a popup message that says:
" Hardware ID missing
Windows cannot identify the device plugged into the Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device.
For assistance, contact the hardware manufacturer"
Sometimes it tries - and fails - to install the MTP device driver.
However, when I go into Windows Device Manage, it does list SAMSUNG Android Phone | SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface, and when trying to update its drivers, it says I have the most up to date ones installed.
- What does "Hardware ID missing" mean? How do I get the phone to communicate with the computer using USB?
I thought it might have to do with Android Ice Cream Sandwich and the media device (MTP) protocol for USB, but, I had no problems getting the computer to recognize my son's (unrooted) Galaxy S 3, which also has ICS and is pretty similar to the Galaxy S Relay 4G. That's why I suspect the problem is with my rooted version.
Is there anything else I should try before un-rooting the phone?

Install kies or the USB driver directly from samsung.com. Try the USB driver first, then kies if it doesn't work.

Already tried both. USB driver is OK, the problem is with MTP. Kies only works via WiFi; does not recognize device with USB. I also tried Samsung tech support's suggestions, none of which changed the situation

Have you tried downloading the SDK Manager from "http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html"? Open the big file that you just downloaded and open up SDK Manager. Install the Google USB Driver and as well as the Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform-tools. Once downloaded, go back to the android-sdk-windows folder and go to the "platform-tools" folder inside and hold Shift and right click on "adb" and select "Open Command Window Here" of something like that. The command prompt will open. Type in "adb devices" and tell me what comes up. If you see your device(It should be a bunch on numbers and letters) on there, it means it is recognizable. This might not solve your problem as I do not know what "Hardware ID missing" exactly is. But I will do some research.
I did as you suggested, and was able to see my phone when I ran "adb devices" from the command prompt. And, Windows, recognizes it too, because when I click on the button to remove attached USB devices, it lists SAMSUNG_Android_SGH-T699. But, I still get the hardware ID missing message whenever I connect the USB cable. Frustrating! But, thanks for trying to help me - you seem very knowledgeable.
What you can try and do to fix the USB hardware error is go to control panel then go to "uninstall a program" and uninstall the samsung driver once you uninstalled it reconnect your phone and let it reinstal the files and i believe it should fix your problem
Samsung Noob here with a question.
Ok, I know this is gonna sound kinda noobish, but I come from HTC phones, and this is my first Samsung. Do I need to flash ClockworkMod Recovery on this, or do I flash a rom to the 4G Relay using Odin? If I use Odin, can someone give a quick overview on how?

you'll need to install a recovery as you did on HTC as ROMs usually come as recovery-flashable zips.
there's a cwm recovery available here which can flashed using Odin. If you don't like the cwm on the relay you can flash TWRP from cwm over it. TWRP comes with more options and the touchscreen-control you might be used to.
from (any) recovery you can just install update zip-files just as you used to on your HTC.
I had used the "howto root the Galaxy S Relay" thread, and then realized, I should just SU and reboot recovery. :victory:

If anybody else got this error do the following:
- uninstall all samsung drivers / software
- connect your phone to the pc
- the driver installation should 'fail', but you can access the storage
- install the samsung drivers now while phone is plugged in
After the installation the phone will be recognized and everything is fine - this worked twice for me now, so I guess it should do it.
