I have installed Android 2.3.4 Stock after factory reset now I want to use Titanium backup to restore my 100s of apps but for that my device needs to be root which method of root works has anybody tested yet ??

Thanks .
It has been mentioned on a few 2.3.4 dev threads that Fugu root method for KF1 works. Only after flashing the fugu root you flash the KH3 kernel not the KF1

^ Thanks. And I noticed on the app settings, that I didn't have the "Enable BBCode" checked.
And back on topic... I used FuguRoot. It only took a few minutes and is super easy.

Fugu not working

For some reason, this happens when I try to use fugu:

I flash fugu onto the phone, phone reboots, and I get the fugufish image. Horrifying, by the way.

I flash the stock 2.3.4 kernel onto the phone, and I get the fugu fish image still... ODIN is saying it is working perfectly fine, yet it's obviously not. The only way I can get 2.3.4 to work on my cappy is when I use the md5 2.3.4 file to get GB onto the phone, but that overwrites junk (and it doesn't keep root).

Odd thing is I flashed over to 2.3.4 from a rooted 2.2 kernel and I lost root (guessing that's normal). Any ideas on how to fix this problem (like, do I actually have to close ODIN in between flashing the 2 kernels)?

Thanks in advance!

2.3.3 kernel would load onto the phone, but then the phone would boot into 2.3.3, and then phone would get locked up... not asking for a password, it would just freeze. I was able to verify it was rooted though. Other than that, no clue. flashing with the 2.3.4 md5 I have now. Something isn't right.

2.3.3 kernel will probably give u issues on kh3
Yeah it did. On the site there's a KH3 (2.3.4) stock kernel listed. I flashed that one. That's the one that's for some reason not overwriting fugu. I'm beginning to wonder if the 2.3.4 kernel listed on the other page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17471081&postcount=289) is screwed up :( I'll just sit tight with not rooted phone for now. Other option I guess is drop back to KH1?
