Hi!

I'am on 2.2.1, now.

In 2.2, i used z4root+z4mod+ one of DamianGto's (excellent) kernel.

I tried to use it the same way like in 2.2, but no success on 2.2.1 :(

1. z4root does not worked

2. with rooted kernel, z4mod said: can't patch kernel

Is it possible to use all of these on 2.2.1 (and what order), or am i doing something wrong?

(sorry for my very basic english)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
You need to root with oneclickroot.

Z4root don't work with this new firmware.

Then you install busybox from market. You may need to remove some ringtunes to make some room on the system.

Then you can use one of my kernel and use z4mod to convert to ext2.

Then you get a fast system again:-)

Hi DamianGto and all, have you got any idea if I do factory reset after apply z4mod, am I still able to unpatch the kernel and back to my original kernel? Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
I would change first before i did the factory reset.

It does remove all user data.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
thx a lot for the reply. means now my original kernel is gone. may i ask am i still able to apply the 3 button recovery fix posted in this forum, and then still able to flash other firmware when i am with z4mod's kernel patch ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] victorct:
I don't know if anyone's asked this before but... is it possible to uninstall z4root and z4mod apps if i don't want to use them anymore without loosing root and lagfix?

Nice work indeed! :)

Hi all! I've just updated last night to official 2.2 in NZ (Vodafone), now i can't find z4mod in the market and the version (was the latest) I had on 2.1 just makes the phone vibrate a few times then sits at "attempting to apply root".

Any ideas? really miss how much the device flew on 2.1, quadrant score halved to now about 950 :(

Just patched my kernal on my i9000 international (official 2.2 with recovery 2e) and now have the option to convert the file system to EXT2 (I thought id get options for EXT3, EXT4 and JFS too??)

What are my options if something goes wrong as far as getting back to stock or if I want to revert to get an official update?

I had my phone rooted with 2.1 but, once I upgraded to this version of 2.2 I get verification failed when i try to apply the update. I have read about the 3e recovery and know I have to go back to 2e ,just unsure of how I go about this. My version is

Hi.

I've uploaded kernel from XXJPX to Your site (sgscompilebox), with full option checked (Install z4mod, ClockworkMod Recovery, root, busybox).

Looks good, kernel works, but z4mod say: Current Filesystem: :RET=0. Dropdown list have only one option: "Unknown" and thats all...

I've try yesterday converting to ext2fs with DamianGTOs-kernel, but without success. What can I do now?

On jpu/jpx it's important that the root is done right.

You need a good superuser and a full busybox. Right now its a mess with root program and i hope ryanza shall fix the z4root app soon..

Hi DamianGto and others, I have root with z4root and lagfix with z4mod. However I did a factory reset after that and now I am not able to unpatch my kernel back to original stock rom. Am I still able to flash other rom/firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] iqbalbaskara:
Hello, reading this thread I see that there's quite some people who made this mistake, including me. You should do the factory reset AFTER you revert back to RFS and unpatch your kernel. otherwise you're stuck like you are now. You can't unpatch it, and you cant convert to EXT2 either.

The only thing I know you could do is to flash a fresh stock froyo with Odin.

RyanZA, just my opinion, but I think in the next version this should be made clear on the app screen :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lifeisjustgreat:
Hi iqbalbaskara, thx for the reply. I would like to flash with odin3 but at the moment my 3 button recovery is not working. And I read the thread which teach us to fix 3 button, it say we much remove our lagfix first, which I can't as I am not able to unpatch my kernel now. Any idea what should I do to proceed to flash other rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Orillian:
OK, I have an SGS GT-I9000M that I got back from SD card failure repair from Bell 2 weeks ago. It came back with JK4 installed on it.

I rooted with Super One Click 1.5.5

I then installed BusyBox 1.17.1

And lastly installed z4mod

It ran and installed a new kernel for me and everything seems to be working fine.

When it was done patching I only had ext2 as a filesystem option in the little drop down in z4Mod. Is that normal? I could have swore I read there were ext3, ext4 and more that could be used?

Either way IO has jumped in quadrant, but I'm noticing a MUCH slower response time for database benchmark, number 4/4 in the IO benchmarks then with OCLF.

Real world performance is nice and smooth though! Made the new market snappy, compared to the nasty lag and stuttering prior to the z4mod. My twidroyd is also pushing 250 post dumps and scrolling like a champ. overall the phone is win.

O.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
Its normal.

You will only se the filesystem that the kernel has support for.

Stock dont support ext3 and ext4.

But ext2 is the fastest.

You cant compare quadrant score with OCLF.

The big and fast score you se in OCLF is not true.

it dont do the writes in the timeframe that the test is going on. but it will sooner or later.

Thats why it is still laggy
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thisoneguy:
Another satisfied docomo Japan customer. But I have a question, or rather, a feature request. From what I understand, this backs up the stock kernell, uploads itt it to a server, patches it, and and download it and flashes it.

Would it be possible to add in some other patches? Primarily the net filter stuff that wired tether needs. So far I haven't found any compatible kernels with the docomo galaxy.

Just a thought/ idea. Would be great to know if it was possible. Thanks for your hard work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
If its in initramfs then it should not be any problem. You must know what to use.

And its already supported if you go to the web site;-)

How to restore stock kernel JP6 froyo India

Hi Ryanza

Your app works great on my device it has increased the speed to incredible levels.

Just exploring my options to remove the app and also oclf. I'm still seeing that my kernel says 2.6.32.9 root@SE-S605-1

how can i find the original kernel version and how to restore it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thisoneguy:
what does this error mean?

I backed up my stock Kernel via neldar's sgs kernel flasher app... opened it, extrated the zimage and then uploaded to the online patcher....

Any Ideas...?

Also the full backup from the flasher app attached...

I have one very simple question to ask. Can i still apply the z4mod when i have applied the oclf 2.3.0?

Btw im new. So thx a bunch! =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
You can use a patched kernel. But you must convert back to rts before you can use it.

So my advise is to change back with oclf then flash a patched kernel.

Then you can use z4mod app and change file system to ext2.

Do a backup first...

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] blackfoot:
not working for me...

Hi Ryanza,

Have a X10i passed on to me from my younger brother after his recent free upgrade on O2.

Your Z4 app was happily running on the phone until the recent 2.1 update 1, which my brother did in preparation for me getting the phone (+factory reset etc etc) He gave me copious instructions which I have followed, but even after dl'ing your latest version, I am unable to root the X10i.

I run the app, it offers me Temporary and Permanent Root buttons, runs for approx 2 minutes then reverts back to the Home Screen, no messages, no reboot, nothing -- regardless of which button I select.

Being a long time WinMo/XDA Dev user, but Android is very new to me, so not sure which way to go now, any suggestions would be appreciated.

My initial feeling is that the recent update (3 days ago) has installed something that prevents your app from working.

Currently, the X10i has no extra apps installed other than OI File Manager and your app.

Info from the About phone screen is as follows (in case it's relevant) FW version 2.1-update 1, Baseband version 2.0.49, Kernel version 2.6.29 and Build Number 2.0.2.A.0.24

TIA

***EDIT: The ROM is straight from O2 and installed a week or so ago. Just realised (age!) I'm in the wrong device thread, oh well, back to search again....

Hi Ryanza

I've a Galaxy S which is a UK stock sim free. I've used One Click Lag Fix a number of times with different firmware updates. However, this time I'm now on JPY but I can't seem to get any of your excellent rooting software to work with JPY.

Is this work in progress? If so, any idea when it will be ready? If not, what am I doing wrong? Using OCLF the only green option that I can get is to check my memory card size.

Look forward to your or any other techies assistance.

Kind regards

PS Before anyone suggests using Odin or other connect to the PC rooting methods, I would prefer to use someting like z4root or OCLF only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
Right now you can't root without your pc. Z4root only work with pre 2.2.1 froyo.

Thanks for that.

I'd spent quiet a while trawling through the net looking for that info. I'd more or less come to that conclusion but nice to have it confirmed. Hoperfully it won't be too long in the waiting before OCLF or z4root come out with a hack.:confused:

Thanks for all your hard work, guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Orillian:
Well just in case people need to know this mod works and it works great with the following roms on I9000M Bell Vibrant.

Stock JK4 and JL2.

Note: My JK4 rom crashed and took the SD card with it 4 days after I ran z4mod, but after doing a lot of reading about JK4, I have the impression that JK4 was prone to crunch SD cards with or without z4mod.

Been using with JL2 for a week now. No slowdowns yet, no lag, and just sweet all around.

Quick How-I-Did-It.

1)Root with Super One Click.

a)Set phone to USB Debug Mode

b)Connect to PC

c)Run SuperOneClick

d)Click Root Button wait for it to finish.

e)The SU test command does not seem to work, but unplug phone and reboot it and you should be done.

2)Install BusyBox Installer from market & update BusyBox

3)Update Superuser as needed.

4)Run z4mod. Follow instructions.

Works like a charm! :)

is there a way to install Z4mod without internet access?

like download the extra stuff that it needs to get?

i think what it does is that it sends the file out to the server, patches it, then sends it back to be replaced

is there any ways to accomplish that locally on the phone without internet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
patch the kernel before

Hi,

if you want to use z4mod/z4control you have to patch the kernel before. Use odin (PDA) to flash the patched kernel and everything works like a charm.

edit: for patching you can extract the zImage from JPY_JPY_JPY.tar with 7zip.

For some reason, I still have recovery 3e although z4mod downloaded a kernal patch automatically and installed it. I thought all the kernal patches will have recovery 2e. I also changed to EXT2 filesystem. Am I missing anything here? Also, is the lagfix applied automatically without the need to install an "update.zip" (downloaded from the z4mod website)? The application only allows me to change the file system. With OCLF, we had to change the filesystem and then apply the lagfix.

Please help clarify that and especially the recovery 3e which is very very weird??!!

Alright, so I got the kernel without "root" and "busybox" from the z4mod and patched that on the phone (while unrooted). Now I got clockworkmod recovery (thank God!!) and I am about to test with rooting and applying the lagfix. Hopefully all will work fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ash_arani:
So my phone is rooted but now when I go to z4mod to change the filesystem, it is not changing it. It goes through the traditional routine of mount read/write and then it says complete. Then it reboots but the filesystem is still RFS and not ext2.

I tried the update.zip from the website. But I still cannot get it to change the filesystem. I do not know what the problem is. It worked before but it is not working now. I wonder why!!!

Any suggestions?

After you did patch the kernel do install busybox from the market.

Sitting on "Backing up data ..." message

Galaxy S I9000, Virgin France (so no operator crap onto top of it).

Stock Froyo:

PDA is I9000XWJPA

MODEM is I9000XXJPP

CSC is I9000XEFJP3

It all went so smoothly - z4root, then z4mod, then convert filesystem - and then on the reboot it's at the message "Backing up data on /data to /sdcard/data.z4mod.tar" and has been for a long while.

I'll leave it there for as long as I can, but if it doesn't move what are my options? (I'm assuming that because its stuck at the backup, nothing REALLY nasty has happened and just getting a stock PDA and flashing with ODIN should do the trick - if that's the case can someone point me to where such my PDA might be found?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bassmanitram:
Ahahaa - well, after two hours I DID give up. I pressed the off button for 5 seconds and it switched off. I then thought "what the heck" and pushed it again - the phone booted, went into the same data-conversion routine - but THIS time completed, completed the boot and ... looks fine at the moment! z4mod reports the fs as ext2 - and Quadrant has jumped from 900-odd pre-mod to over 1700! We'll see what the real "feel" change is over the next few days.

So, in the end fairly painless!! Thanks guys
