Hi
I looked around and saw a few ppl having trouble while rooting vibrant.
I've put update.zip on /sdcard, and when i reboot my phone in recovery mode it says something about my package not being signed.
So i googled and did this:
java -classpath "/home/ohai/Downloads/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/sign/testsign.jar" testsign update.zip file-signed.zip
(don't worry, i'm not that stupid, i DO have the sdk and the testsign installed here)
then renamed file-signed.zip to update.zip and replaced it on /sdcard, but still got the same message.
Does anyone have a link to a actually working update.zip to vibrant's froyo?
i'm using froyo.UVJL4, downloaded from samfirmware.com.
Thx in advance
?

Everyone's update.zip is usually different is what i'd think.
try getting titanium backup, click menu and click menu, and then CREATE update.zip
that might help you out.
Go to dec section and look for the jl4 rom from geodude(cant remember exact name...) His rom, odex or deodex both come prerooted with the 3e recovery fix as well. Flash that. KTB.

If you are comfortable using the voodoo lagfix you can flash the new voodoo 5 kernels. They come with the SU binary and clockworkmod recovery built in. Then download busybox and superuser from the market. You'd have to flash via ODIN though.
Thx for the tips, but i was not thinking about using modified roms... all i want is to root my default rom from samsung, is it possible?
You need the correct key to sign the zip file. My understanding is this key was not released by Samsung so you will not be able to sign your update.zip files to work with the 3e recovery.
The 2e recovery accepted a "test key" which is why we're able to use update.zip to root and use CWM.
The RATC method still works for rooting in the 2.2 Firmware. You can use SuperOneClick to root, and then replace the stock 3e recovery with the one from here. This is a modified 3e recovery which removes the signature checking.
How about trying the ALT METHOD in the Noob Guide (my signature)... then flash a stock rom with root?

personally, you are hurting yourself by not running a rom like Nero v3 or Eugenes Ginger Clones.
Rooting T-Mobile Vibrant Froyo 2.2 JL5
I have the T-mobile Vibrant US Phone. I upgraded to JL5 and have rooted my phone with a program from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Get the latest version and you might have to run the program 2 or 3 times for it to finish. Note on my phone these were the steps I took.
1. Put phone in USB Debugging Mode.
2. Plug usb cable to computer.
3. Run the rooting program above with windows administrator rights.
4. It will run then probably hang half way through and indicate WAITING FOR
DEVICE.
5. Shut windows program down.
6. Reboot phone (Turn Off then On).
7. Reconnect to usb.
8. Restart the Rooting Program and Root.
9. It should finish and ask if you want to test SU say yes.
10. That's It you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.

You still can't get rooted & you want FroYo?
I attached cwm update.zip so just use that to get into CWM Recovery (Reinstall Packages, You may need to do it twice) and then just flash the following ROM

me too,
im desperately looking to root my vibrant from Bell canada. i just updated to JL2 using the kies pc software. i just got this phone for xmas so im quite new to it.
im hoping to find an app or website that can do most of the steps for me. or a youtube video with detailed step by step.
ive tried using the guide that s15274n wrote (btw, thanks for the awesome writeup) but i have the same problem of the update.zip file not passign the signature verifaction.
i would like to stay with a stock ROM for at least another couple weeks because of the super high chance of this phone bricking itself
my phone has a build date of 11.10
any thoughts?
thank you VERY much for any help
EDIT:
I have managed to root my phone! hurray!
heres how i did it:

Hi all,
I was installing custom roms back in the xda 2 days but eventually moved over to iphone and now im swtiching to android. (I love the new site by the way!)I have an (o2) streak arriving tomorrow and would like to get the best out of my device.
I have tried my best to do my research over the past few days before making my first post and now I have some questions if I may...
To flash a rom I need to:
1. Install fastboot
2. Root device using androot or superboot
3. Install clockworkmod recovery
4. Download rom and flash to device
If my device comes with 1.6 I need to update to 2.1 first.
Roms...
The ROMs I have come across so far:
- O2 2.2
- Custom Streakdroid by Djsteve http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=26
All others that I have seen seem to be in alpha.
So am I right in thinking that streakdroid is the most advanced but stable rom so far?
Is there any backup tools / failsafes that I can use before starting all this?
Do I need to worry about baseband? Do I follow this?...
"IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE TO THE BELOW BASEBAND FOR 1.5.1+"
If somebody let me know if I've understood the above correctly and if I'm ok to proceed with flashing tomorrow?
Any help is greatly appreciated and it's good to be back!
Just update to stock 351, I find that to be very fast and super stable.

Thanks for the reply,
I have done some searches and it seems stock 351 is the latest non-custom rom. Is this what I will recieve from o2 in the OTA upgrade? Am I not missing out on a load of extra features if I use this instead of a custom rom?
Thanks
Go for steves rom i am on o2 uk flashed the 351 a bit slow 4 me went back to the streak savier u will love 190

read the FAQ in the second post : http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=9694
Thanks that answers question 2 but what about 1 and 3?
Regards
I carried out all previous steps and now this is what I've done:
1. copied update-1.6.1.zip to the root of sd card. It said I needed to copy a .pkg but the streakdroid package comes in a zip so i copied that on instead.
2. Installed the recovery image
3. Booted into recovery menu and selected update via update.pkg on sd card.
Now the streak has the Dell logo with an ! exclamation mark and it's just sitting there. Have I done it correctly? It says it takes 10 minutes but I'm a bit worried because there is no progress meter there.
Some one please let me know if I've done the right thing as I'm too scared to touch it now in case I brick it!
Thanks
Ok i figured i had to press the power button to get the menu but now i cant get the menu back! Every time I select the option it tales me to: android system recovery utility
When I try to do a recovery it says verification failed...any pointers?
It depends on what you have done so far. You are best starting with the latest official update for your phone using system update, then installing the fastboot drivers on your pc, installing new recovery, either streakmod or clockworkmod and then installing djsteves over that if you want a custom rom.
Instructions for each step are evident in forums, but If you require further assistance, just ask

Thanks for the reply. I flashed the recovery again and it allowed me into the advanced menu again which enabled me to flash. It's all working now but I have just noitved 1 thing....
I flashed with update-1.6.1.zip from http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15 but have just found update-1.9.0.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003525
Am I right in thinking that I have just flashed with an older version? If so, I will do it again.
Another question...if I flash with a new rom I must lose all my data?
When it's on the dell exclamation screen you press the power button to bring up the recovery screen.

Hi. I was following this guide here wiki.cyanogenmod.<(SPACE)>com/wiki/Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide
(REMOVE <(SPACE)>)
I chose to install the 'update' to internal memory. Upon rebooting while holding the volume up and power buttons, "booting recovery kernel image" is seen but it doesn't progress beyond that point. After pressing the power button the tablet boots normally. I am stuck at Step 3 of the 2nd Method in the guide I had posted. I read somewhere that ROM Manager softbricks the device or something so I avoided it. How can I finish installing Cyanongen or perhaps switch to vegan? I would appreciate any responses

Err. Tap UI says 1.2-4349.
I'm having the exact same problem. Just got the tablet and starting from the beginning with CWM. I've tried internalsd, externalsd and nvflash and all three methods result in the same thing. Stuck on the booting recovery kernal image.
I may nvflash the stock recovery and try it again.

Follow the instructions to download the stock rom with CWM pre-installed. This did the trick for me! Hope it helps.

This means your on bootloader 1.2. Cm7 is made around bl 1.1 so it wont install correctly. You can install a modified version of cm7 that was packaged to run on bl 1.2. There is a thread in development by zyhong that has links to the modified cm7.
Here is the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123836
There are 2 options for kernels. The roms on the linked thread come pre packaged with either pershoots or clemsyns 1.2 compatible kernel.

Okay, thanks. I followed this completely without any errors...how do I know if Cyanogen is installed? Everything looks the same, has the same settings, nothing was wiped (same apps in same places and still have flash). Nothing says cyanogen in the settings. Thanks!
You guys flashed (installed) the wrong cwm for your branch. You're on 1.2 but you flashed in cwm for 1.1.

You can't uninstall it. And no you didn't follow my guide. The fact that you put in the wrong cwm says this.
Go to my start here page and impliment code yellow. Make sure you look ahead at the rom page to know which rom you want and what branch its on.

1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please)
2. do i need to root my phone ?
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places)
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ?
5. do i need the rom manager ?
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ?
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ?
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ?
Please excuse my noobish questions but i'm completely new at this and terrified of damaging my phone, thanks for your time and attention.

1. Install 'clockworkmod recovery'
2. Yes
3. Did that for me, but pressing the root button again, before shutting app, worked
4. No, you can install clockworkmod through the app 'ROM Manager' found in the market, be sure to click our phone model though!
5. For installing clockworkmod, and if you get premium, downloading the latest version of cyanogen
6. Through premium app 'ROM Manager', or go to the rom manager website and find the files on there.
7. You have that option when you are booted into recovery mode (used for installing roms)
8. If I understood your question right, cyanogen rom is gingerbread 2.3.7 so installing that is all you have to do
I was exactly the same as you when I first did it, kept asking questions and was nervous, but if you follow the instructions, you can't go wrong

Do you have the latest version of it? Or,
have you tried any other apps? E.g 'z4root' or 'superoneclickroot'
4. When did you try it? Its only recently been added. And I would root first, just to make sure that's not stopping it
6. I havnt personally used it, but id ask that in the dedicated cyanogen port thread in development, they'll be able to help you more
7. Through rom manager, after you have installed the clockworkmod

4. I tried it a few hours ago, but i guess i'll try again if i can get it to root.
6. found em, thx anyway
Alright, its there for me so if you root and its not there just tell me and ill try help from there. Good luck!

1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please) Root your phone using Universal Androot- might take a few tries- just keep trying, flash your phone with Clockwork Mod v4 via Odin (or Rom Manager), put the 3 latest CM7 files on your devices SD card, go into recovery mode on your device, then install the files in the specific order (Follow the simple instructions on the official I5500 CM7 thread located under the Development section of our phones forum)
2. do i need to root my phone ? Yes
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places) Just keep trying, it'll work eventually.
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ? I used Odin to flash Clockworkmod on my phone but I think you can do it via Rom Manager now, not too sure but the ODIN method was pretty simple, plug your phone into computer, put your phone into download mode and follow the 'One Package' method and then start the process.
5. do i need the rom manager ? I didn't need Rom Manager when I flashed CM7 to my phone, but CM7 automatically puts RomManager on your device.
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ? Check out the official CM7 I5500 thread.
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ? Go into recovery mode and click wipe data.
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ? CM7 installs 2.3.7 Gingerbread to your device.

If your phone is loaded with Froyo 2.2.2 you will have to downgrade to 2.2.1 as the exploit used by superoneclick ect to allow root access was fixed in the latest Froyo release. Just follow the threads for upgrading. Good luck!

I've downloaded and tried to install Cyanogen and HyDrOG3N-ICS, but everythime I try to install them via CWM, it just installs the original 'stock' ICS back on the handset
TIA

Just read and follow all instructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419102 and you`ll be fine. Don`t forget the bootloader part http://t.co/mhbp7q8Z.
It sounds like the installation is being aborted due to a bootloader or cwm problem.

That has helped
Thanks allot. I followed the links and I've managed to get CyanogenMOD installed via ODIN.
Well I decided I didn't like Cyanogen, and I went for Omega.
That installed perfectly and I LOVE IT
