hi sifu, i am gonna rooooooot my phone coz wanna remove bloatware and prolly some other stuff like set CPU..
a few questions from a noob 1st time android root/flash.

1. there are 2 ways to root as i understand from 1st post.
doomLordRootKit VS flash a rooted kernel way.
- how do i choose between this 2?
from the modded "runmet.bat" for I9100G, 2 changes are
a. remove line @files\adb wait-for-device. may i know why?
b. and then later on, we are adding this line @files\adb pull /data/local/tmp/crashlog files. how do we benefit from this crashlog file?

2. i am a bit confuse between ROM vs kernel vs firmware after reading and suffocated with so much great info. is it right to say, we can individually each of this ROM, kernel, firmware? or usually a cooked ROM will come together with kernel, firmware??

3. the CWM recovery. it's pre-loaded to our I9100G right? how is this CWM compare to the odin method when we reboot phone using the 3 button combos?

thanks in advance.

hi guys, both of you G version come with stock 2.3.6 and DZKJ2 and use doomLord method working cool rite?
gonna try my hand on that

allow me to off topic a bit.
this is 1 true geek and technologies advocate respect respect!

hey guys, help needed.
i just rooted my stock 2.3.6 with the doomLord toolkit V4 (modded batch file) and it went successful with the pirate droid icon.

then i wanted to get CWM, so i follow the instruction HERE.
basically it's
1. download ROM manager
2. select 1st option - flash ClockworkModRecovery - then it download and installed succesfully.
3. then choose 2nd option in ROM manager - reboot into Recovery
4. phone reboot into the linux page, but after few line, there was error "signature not signed..."

any idea?

for rooted phone, can we still use KIES to upgrade to KL3?
if not, what are the other way to achieve that?

i am using the doomLord V4 to root. - done successfully
then i download ktool, and flash superatmos 2.0 kernel - done successfully (kernel in phone become 2.6.35.7 root@ubuntu#1

but weird thing is.. i don't see the triangle thingy in boot screen. and in download mode also i don't see any counter??
i tot if we flash firmware will expect to see yellow triangle ?

thats what i am doing flashed kernel superatmos 2.0 only for now.
it will NOT wipe anything.

regarding flashing ROM, according to superRom theard, it mentioned flash the kernel 1st then flash the ROM with CWM.

FYI. after i did the battery calibration thingy using batterycalibration app, i noticed that the battery 100% status is more stable now. it wont drop to 99% or 97% the next minute i unplug charger.

oh? superatmos 2.0 right? using ktool flash the zImage deom /sdcard right?
i did that, done, boot from recovery using ktool and got the CWM there. no?

i am on superatmos 2.0, trying to use other bootanimation.
downloaded the file with name bootanimation.zip, placed it at /system/media per instruct. restart, still the ori bootscreen from superatmos... any idea?

there are a few files with extension .zip and .qmg under /system/media
i thinkit is the one ODEAnim.zip

i have installed some apps and configured nicely. currently i am on superatmos 2.0 kernel.
if i am going for superrom 2.0, what is the best way to do that and still can keep my apps working after flash to superrom?

ok, gonna try that.
but before that, just to be safe, in case anything gone wrong and i want to get back to the stock ROM. can i get it back from CWM as i did my backup there already?

err.. wait wait... you remind me something.

so the CWM backup is backup ROM? or backup kernel?
when we flash new ROM, if shits happened, kernel will not be screwed right?
so we can always use CWM to restore?

and where does the efs comes into picture?
i did efs backup using ktool. but looks like it's backup to /sdcard
when flash new ROM, if we did all the wipe thingy (including wipe cache/dalvik), wont that remove the content in /sdcard?

and to flash back to stock ROM, somewhere i read can and ONLY can be done using ODIN?

sorry for the noob and confusing question

you can go https://market.android.com/ to download free aps then install to your SG2 or transfer to your phone and install.

i tried V4 with the edited tips from crelizard and it works for me.

i have a question regarding back up apps with titanum pro. so i am about to flash superRom 2.0, wanna make sure the apps install currently will be working later after flash to superRom. so i just restore from the titanum pro?

need android to associate? i tot a gmail a/c will do?

#eddie2020, where is titanum backup the things? wanna kia su a bit put those backup out of phone in external SD or PC

oh man... xda also joined the SOPA bandwagon, it's now blackout
http://www.xda-developers.com/sopa/

guess the only way to reset counter is using the USB jig?

me too skip earlier version and went straight to superRom 2.0
no problem so far, all existing apps are there working well. new features like the toggle, and more.. (refer xda)

now i am no superatmos kernel, superRom.
but basedband still DZKJ2, what is this actually some radio ROM?
i tot in PC terms, kernel is like BIOS, ROM is like OS. then how about baseband?

superRom 2.0, dont have media player? can't play any .wmv, or video file..
