[Problem] Root Isn't working(?) Target: Backup current state + update to offical 2.2 - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

Hey all,
I'm trying to backup product key + rom and then update to offical 2.2 froyo (prefer offical but not branded one without software of movistar and everything) + hebrew keyboard.
I followed this guide on how to root my SGS I9000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Installed SGS Toolbox, but then i run it and it says:
system remount not supported on this device. error code: 109
Check product key,reboot, and reboot into recovery are red and i cannot click on them.
I tried installing Rom manager, and i got this message:
You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function.
Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su".
Use google search on your computer to find instruction to root your phone.
I must say that iv'e rooted my device with this guide, i have Superuser icon on my device. when i click on it, on apps, its written no apps in list.
My device details are:
CSC: XEC - Spain (Movistar) BRANDED
Kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Baseband version I9000BGJF1
Build Number ECLAIR.BGJF4
Model number GT-I9000
What do i need to do ? Thanks in advance!

That is what my phone looked to.
Could not find a solution on that firmware.
What i did was upgrading to jm1 with keis.
Then all things worked.

Right now its jm1 on the kies server.
You will get the right firmware.
Do all backup you can.
Then root.
Do the backup more this time.
Now you can do what you want.
If you want to unlock the phone its the time Now.
You can't in froyo.
A funny this is that i want that firmware you use now.
Then moving to froyo is easy.

Hey,
JM1 is 2.1 Andorid or 2.2? You got more details on it?
What do you mean its time now and i can't root it in froyo? Can you please explain?
And why would you want the same firmware (stock) that i have now?

Jm1 is 2.1 and not froyo.
When 2.2 froyo comes out you don't have the choose to get older firmware from keis.
If you want to unlock the simcard its only working on 2.1 and on original firmware.
When you do upgrading to froyo later that option is gone.
Thats why i want the stock branded firmware back.
I can't find it on samfirmware.

So what users that has movistar branded i900 will do? that doesn't make any sense... If you use offical unlock code.
Anyone else can join this thread?
By the way - i already entered the unlock code at the first time i turned the I9000 on.

Well i guess they have a new system/ code for froyo. But froyo is not officials yet so they will not give out that code.
So that's why you need to unlock it on 2.1 on a officials firmware.

How do you know it ?
And what i will do if i will update to Froyo? It will not be simfree? i don't get you.
If i unlock it now, on stock rom, it will also stay simfree when i'll upgrade it to 2.2 with ODIN?!

Well i have the code from 2.1 but that don't work.
No program that can get the code works object froyo.
If you look in the file that the code should be its not there in froyo.
People say if you have unlocked it in 2.1 it will stay unlocked when you upgrade. But i can't confirm that. I have not done that myself.

OTA update Question

Hi there
I just recently signed a contract with orange for the Desire.
Last Night I got rid of there crappy firmware and installed the stock Bravo firmware.
My question is, if an over the air update is released for froyo 2.2 what will happen? Will my phone download the Orange firmware 2.2, Bravo 2.2?
Or will it not work now and i will have to manually update using a downloaded firmware.
Thanks
Dion.
is it really an issue for you ??

Well yeah of course it is. I dont want to download the update over the air if its going to be Orange firmware. But if it uses HTC Generic Firmware then I will download over the air.
What happened to the help in this forum?
if you flashed a generic non branded rom ill guess you get a generic non branded froyo

Possible root for official 2.1... (Confirmed not Working)

EDIT: It doesn't work, let's move on.
Just saw this now, apparently it works for all HTC 2.1 devices using the 'fake ota' method.
I will rewrite the guide here once someone has confirmed it works.
I can not and will not test this as I wasn't stupid enough to flash the official 2.1 RUU.

Once you get to clockwork mod recovery you should be able to flash a custom rom!

Reports on the guide website suggest that this will NOT work for HTC Hero users or in fact any phone which did not originally ship with v2.1 of Android.
I'd love someone to prove this wrong so keep trying but don't get your hopes up.

And does anyone know, how fast we will get rooted GMS EU 2.1 after it is released? Fast thing to do?
Also first part of OTA (YouTube update), i hope it didn't take ability to root from me?

There is no known way, yet.
There are already rooted GSM custom rom's based upon the 2.1 releases which have happened so far. It takes dev's a few hours from release usually to get them into the public domain.

If you installed the latest ota just downgrade & root.
For rooting the europe 2.1 I aim to be as fast as last time but it depends on when it is released.

Well then IMO you have to add to your guide.
"First, you need to downgrade your ROM to 2.73.xxx.x"
Like: "Also downgrade 2.73.405.93, even if it starts with 2.73...".
Btw: If I would flash Part 2 OTA update, 2.1 andoird, would it be as easy as now, to downgrade?

You can't downgrade once you flash part 2 as the version will change from 2.73.xxx.xx

Offering Money to Fix Phone 2.2

Hello,
I am willing to offer someone 20USD if they can tell me how to fix my HTC desire. I was running on a Asia ROM which was upgraded to a Euro one so i could update. Upon updating to 2.2 I have no wifi, or SD and "process system" keeps crashing
The details of the phone are:
Model A8181
OS: 2.2 (from OTA)
Baseband: 32.36.00.28U_406.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build is 2.09.405.8
Please Help Me.
You need to flash the newest radio, should fix all your problems.
You're using a radio from eclair (2.1).
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
With the 2.2 ota, im not sure if there is a way to downgrade, as I read one of the devs accidentally upgraded to an OTA release. This is due to the bootloader being updated to one that hasnt been hacked yet.
My 2 cents is hold tight and hope one of the devs figures a way to downgrade, that way you could install a custom 2.2 which doesnt have these issues.
Good luck, sorry i couldnt be of much use :/
EDIT- i completely missed that flakz0r lol, can it still be flashed through recovery if he used a 2.2 OTA update? if so http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
you still have the older 2.6.29 kernel too
flash the radio to the latest and flash one of the 101 roms people are releasing based on the new ota 2.2 as that should update your kernel

Did you download the ota update, or have you got root and installed one of roms on this forum? If it's ota I dont see how your radio can be the one you've stated. If it's a rom from the forum flash the new radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
I dont know, but it should be possible. Also, the official OTA update comes with the new radio, so i dont understand how he was able to update the rom but not the radio. That is assuming he isnt rooted, of course.

Yeah, you just need the radio. Put it on your sdcard and flash it like you flashed the rom. Dont touch your phone, let it work, takes a while.
so....who got the 20 dollars?
lol i think it should be falkz0r he was the first to provide a solution...
btw...he managed to go from asian to european version through goldcard and the RUU file. Done that to my previous Hero too.

Yes, you can root the phone, but since you have 1.84 FW, you need to downgrade.
Once you downgrade, you can then install CWM recovery and flash different ROMs

[Q] 2.42.415.1 not rooted yet ..!!

Hi all,

Thanks man i just wanted to know if it will work on my 2.42.... .
Hello,
I think it should works. This is using the Goldcard method. The goldcard is a general method which should not be dependent on the phone version !
With goldcard you can install other OFFICIAL stock roms.
In the field of Android custom ROMs, what a Gold Card does is letting you install ROMs on your Android device that aren’t intended for your carrier. For example, if you have a T-Mobile USA HTC Desire, you can install an official ROM intended for the O2 UK HTC Desire, or even a generic ROM that isn’t locked to a carrier. It does so by disabling the CID (Carrier ID) check that the device does when installing a ROM.

Using the goldcard doesn't need any root permissions. It is a htc way to use other official stock roms. First you try to downgrade to official stock rom 1.32.405.6 then try to root this version.

It will be great if we downgrade this week itself..........
I have lost almost 1 month for rooting my fone.....
now no way......
thanks all for reply ..
The waiting answer is not enough for me and the others , unless some one tell us if they works on it to figure out how to solve the root issue
thanks to all members in this forum specially the supportive peoples who give us that hope.
Am Still waiting since along time.. for a hope
i agree with you ,knowing someone is working on it is good and hopefull.
