JPU,JPX,JPY

Howzit RyanZA,

Thanks china.From one South African to another,I really "smaak"

the work you´ve been doing.Used your lagfix and root apps before and they were very "lekker".

Listen boet, I just wanted to know if z4mod works on STOCK JPU,JPX and JPY on my I9000 SGS?

I´d like a little feedback before I test.

Z4mod work on all froyo.
But you need to be rooted and you need to gave the latest busybox.
Then it should not have any problem.

hey DamianGto, i'm not too sure what i'm doing wrong but if you could help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

I have JL1 (FROYO.UXJL1 Captivate) and i didn't use the site to patch (also because I don't know how to find my kernel/flash though I should probably read about it), but I used the app to see if it would patch. The patch doesn't work and I do have the latest BusyBox version (1.17.1). I'm fairly new at touching kernels etc., so if you could help me then that would be great. What can I do next?

You can download the firmware and extract the zimage and use it on the site.
Then you flash it.
I don't have a captivate so i can test it myself.
But i advice you to read more about flashing. When you get use to it you don't think about it. You just choose the thinks you like.
That makes the phone much better.

Problem with undoing the lagfix

hi DamianGto

I had installed Z4mod and it ran pretty smooth for a few months now on my SGS Stock Froyo ZSJPE

. But recently I want to learn some flashing and try out some other roms and was trying to undo the lagfix, i.e. converting it back to rfs. It won't allow me to do so and it says it needs at least 3MB in the /system folder for the operation and I have only 2.6MB. It suggests me to remove some files in the /system folder. But as it is the system folder, I am not really sure what could be removed. Should I be uninstalling some apps? Or clearing the cache or other things? Please kindly give me some hint. Many thanks.

Hi. Try the media folder and remove some ringtunes you don't use.
You need a file program that use root.
You also need to make it read/ write .

Well the source if free and it only take one dev to fix it.
My plan was to only use Z4mod for i did like the concept. But 2 of the mail developer is gone so its standing still.
So its kind of dead abduction i dont have time to continue with it.

Samsung galaxy S - no longer works

No longer works on my Samsung Galaxy S

Had z4Root and z4Mod on my Galaxy S:

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

Stock Froyo:

PDA is I9000XWJPA
MODEM is I9000XXJPP
CSC is I9000XEFJP3

worked fine.

THEN converted BACK to rfs and unrooted, and installed the new stock froyo from Samsung:

PDA is I9000XWJPI
MODEM is I9000XXJPP
CSC is I9000XEFJP4

then tried to re-root - z4root got stuck and then died "Aquiring root shell" (and sucked the life out of my battery while doing so doing somethine that caused 100%CPU usage until I rebooted).

No amount of rebooting and tweaking helped

Sad, but, then again, the new firmware seems to be very slick! (just need to find a viable rooter now!)

More on the latest Samsung stock firmware to get onto my phone:

PDA is I9000XWJPI
MODEM is I9000XXJPP
CSC is I9000XEFJP4

So, z4Root no longer worked - so I used SuperOneClick - worked perfectly.

So THEN I tried z4Mod - and received a message from the server that said the kernel could not be patched. It seems from the development threads that this may be because there is no initramfs? Maybe the latest Samsung firmware simply contains things designed to break z4... activity!!

One other thing: all these threads say that z4Mod has been abandones and is unsupported? Is this true? (of course that may be like asking a dead man to confirm that he is dead - if he IS dead, then no response will be forthcoming!)

Reverting to RFS necessary for other ROM's / kernels?

I have used the z4mod app to convert to ext2.

Would it be necessary to revert to RFS before installing a ROM or kernel?

I have tried reverting with the app, but it doesn't seem to do anything other than rebooting.

Mount still reports /data mounted as ext2:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data ext2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,nobh 0 0

The creator of the mod also provides update.zips, but the bootloader on my phone doesn't like them (refuses unsigned stuff).

From the phone's information screen:
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000XXJPP
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 root@sep-35 #1
Build number: FROYO.XXJPO

HTC Incredible Help

I'm having a very hard time on my stock HTC incredible. It sits at "attempting to apply root" and it only got that far AFTER i rebooted 3 times. Maybe im missing something?

This is an AWESOME IDEA though so keep going!

Thanks!
