acs easy root does not work. i ran the root.bat it did its thing said you should have root i did not. i tried it 2 times no root. so i used the method i posted above

Seems much more simple to root when your at 2.3.5 (with stock recovery) then OTA update and you will keep root. I think it MIGHT work even if you have CWM but have not tested.

INope doesnt work if u have cwm i tested and so did a few others. But yes thats correct thats easier but i posted this for those who took the update and were not rooted

I'm rooted rite now...2.3.5. Will I lose my root if I update.. are can I even update while rooted? sorry..I'm still new to android

People are reporting that they didn't loose root when updating. However, not sure if they had stock recovery or not installed at the time. I didn't risk it and flashed back to stock then confirmed SuperOneClick did not work. Used the method described above and rooted.

Yes they had stock recovery. You cant take the ota unless you have stock recovery. And correct if you are rooted with stock recovery u will not loose root

Coming from Captivate and have had flashed HTC phones in the past, I kind of feel like anything Odin IS the easy method. It's like we had a OneClickMethod and a TwoClickMethod.

Correct odin is very easy if you read and follow all directions.

Link to stock recovery
Anybody have a link to the stock recovery for the skyrocket. I want to avoid having to flash completely back to stock before updating to 2.3.6.

Ok, maybe I am missing something here...
WHY are we going to the OTA update if many are reporting poor 4g performance after the update. I don't want my 4g to run slower just so I can say I have 2.3.6

My 4G speeds (pings, downloads, uploads) have improved since the OTA 2.3.6 update. Also, GPS finds and locks more satellites faster as well.

I'm not aware of a non-rooted stock KD1. I think people are trying to get one built for those that want stock Froyo.
Given that you're sending it in for a repair, I'd suggest installing the stock 2.3.6 (KJ6) as it's a Samsung official release. Once you get it back you can go back to KD1 with root.

Thank you.

Try this:
[ROM][CWM] T959VUVKD1 - Deodexed FIXED [6/9/2011]
Modems [KB5,KC1,KD1,KF1,KF2]
EDIT: You can unroot using SuperOneClick -- Though I have not tried it myself.
Here is another thread: Flashing back to KD1 with good information in it.

I didn't realize you could unroot with it. Good info; thanks

I don't think you can unroot ROMs that were made.pre-rooted by just using SOC. I tried it before on a ROM (can't remember which) and it failed.
EDIT: If you didn't flash that file for root and instead rooted it with SOC previously, you can still unroot it.
If someone could be so kind to upload a Odin Stock KD1 without root, it would help solve some of these Froyo questions

This link I posted above - [ROM][STOCK UVKD1 - FLASHABLE] T959VUVKD1 Zip File - is the same file and was taken off of the samfirmware.com website.
Samfirmware.com doesn't have the files on their site anymore. They are SamMobile.com now.

The only stock ODIN currently available for the SR is I727UCKJ2, which is 2.3.5. If you flash that the phone should OTA to 2.3.6 within a few days.

at&t users ICS update thread

OK guys since there is a large number of users getting update fever im gonna make this as a means to keep the repeats down hopefully you will all read it and understand.
first off if you are on 2.3.5 you will have an update ota to 2.3.6
if you are on 2.3.6 currently there is no update (i will update the op if this changes)
rules you must be on 2.3.6 stock with stock recovery as well no apps frozen or debloated to get the update (op will change if i am wrong)
on 2.3.6 there is a glitch saying that you have an update available it is wrong you will try it may attempt a dl even but you will not get all the way.
so heres what we need if you take an update and meet all these criteria and it downloads and installs and you see in the about phone section that its 4.0.whatever then you can post i will ask whever takes it gets a stock nand preferably unrooted and rooted this will cut down on the number of posts and help the mods ok thank you for your time

2.3.5 must have the glitch also as that's what i have and I get the same messages. It wont even update to 2.3.6 as I believe AT&T is getting their system ready to put out the 4.0 whatever. Whatever the actual case maybe it can not be to far off now.

I was just tired of the same thread 500 times so I decided to try this

Did I Brick It??

I tried using Odin to install a version of 4.1.2 on my s3.. It failed on odin.. I apparently had the wrong file now I cant get into download or recovery mode.. It starts for a second saying loading recovery with the samsung logo then all goes black .. Has some vibrations to it but cant turn in on or connect or even show battery charge on the screen.. Any help to get into any screen would help...

It sounds like a download mode jig should work if you go out and buy one. I'm probably not the 100% best source though.
And that may be a misspell, but there are no 4.1.2 ROMs available to flash in Odin.

No you will just have to wait for the OTA which will be a while. Scratch that there a few custom ROMS runing 4.1.2 you will have to check the forums for them.

As long as he can at least get to download mode his phone can fix it. Odin can also unbrick phones as long as download mode is functioning. Jtag is just unbricking via hardware and it should only be used as a last resort(hard brick). Download jig should only be used if Odin doesn't work. Even samsung has a tutorial on how to unbrick your phone via hardware.

I think you're confused. Flash an international ROM in recovery and see how that turns out (JTAG). So it would stand to reason had the Odin of an international ROM succeeded you would get same results. So then it failing would seem to be why it's only soft bricked.
