Got the same problem went back to 2.1 and then installed the update.zip and worked perfectly . I think you need to Odin back to stock and root the phone probable u won't able to root in 2.2 as far as I know

I have used z4root and got root access. I wanted to know if I need to keep z4root installed or if I can remove it.

Once you gain root I'm sure you can delete it. And for future reference you may want to post questions in the general section to avoid getting flamed. Happy flashing :-D

Thanks I hope to hear some more responses, as I want to be 100% sure.
Yes you can delete it once you are rooted. I've used Z4root several times now and have removed the app every time.

You can delete it if you want but it isnt in the Market anymore. Google told those guys (also Ryans OCLF dont have the root part in it any longer) take them down.
But you can get the .apk HERE or HERE
I also found the update.zip root on the cyanogenmod wiki web site under vibrant. So if u ever need to reroot and can't find anything u can use that method.

That will only work with the 2e and modified 3e recovery, but not the real 3e. You will need the Super One Click root application for that.

I am having Samsung Vibrant with 2.1. Tried to upgrade to 2.2 using Kies Mini but gave error 'Unregistered Device' and I am using XP 32 bit.
Any solution??
I want to try using ODIN. Where can I get files required for ODIN to upgrade to 2.2.
Please reply.
all the information you need is in the android development section, most of it is easily accessible and categorized through the sticky thread "vibrant dictionary (bible)" your problem with the upgrade sounds driver related

I'm having a difficult time finding out which of these is the latest updates to 2.2
KA7 - Samsung
KA5 - Samsung
JK6 - Samsung
JI6 - Samsung
JI2 - Samsung
JFD - Samsung
can someone help me out ?
thanks
Thanks... where can I get drivers? I have already installed the drivers.
I have reflash using ODIN to 2.1. I tried to upgrade to 2.2 using Kies Mini but still getting same error... Unregistered device...
Need help.
Any solution for Unregistered device?
Is there any method to upgrade other than Mini Kies?
I have also installed KIes but it doesnt show Samsung Vibrant.
Might try wiping your internal sd storage (after backing up of course). Has solved the problem for me in the past.

Yes there is a solution, just install the drivers using this Program here.
And yes there's another way other than kies and it's called Odin but try Kies first if you only want to upgrade to Froyo, its much simpler but if it didn't work for you (after trying ofcourse) give Odin a shot.
I have upgraded 2.2 using ODIN. But Market and GMail apps are not working.
getting error.
The app market (processcom.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. button Force close
You forgot KA6
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I didnt get you. Its showing me KA6 now..
Audio Postcard and Gmail was not working but after clearing cache its working now..
any solution for Market?
After 2.2 upgrade I can see Samsungapps in my app list but does see shortcut on screen.
Does anyone help this?
Also any solution for Market apps not working?
I just recently updated to Froyo 2.2 (KA6) using Kies Mini. I have searched around on how to root the 2.2, but to no avail. I have tried using SuperOneClick v1.7 and it seems to not work when I try it.
Could anyone please refer me to a link on how to successfully root my phone or you can just show me how to do it here? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm not familiar with Odin. Where can i download it and where to look for instructions for it?
You can use a pc app called super one click, i used it to root my vibrant after updating through kies. You can find it in the vibrant app and themes section.

I've tried using SuperOneClick but every time i run it, it says no space is available when it's trying to copy some files like busybox. Any idea on how to go about with this?

I've finally got my phone rooted. Thanks for the response guys!
Now on to finding a rom/kernel that has a long battery life, smooth, and gps works. Any recommendations?
Great. Sorry for the late reply but I just saw your pm, anyway glad you got it up and running.
I recommend trigger or the new 2.2.1 Bi-Winning Rom. I've used both of them and TBH the latter is simply the best Rom I've ever ran on my vibrant. Extremely snappy and very smooth.
I never had a problem rooting before but now I cant get super one click to work. I have all drivers installed but when I try to get shell root to get 3e recovery super one click freezes at waiting for device. I rooted using the update.zip format.
SuperOneClick v1.5 worked for me. Froyo 2.2, KA5.
Okay XDA- Developers team , I have a samsung vibrant from T- Mobile. The first vibrant i should say. SGH T959 , i had some issues to i had to odin back to stock , i rooted on "Eclair" but i just updated to 2.2 froyo and i realized i lost my root access. Any methods i can use to get my root back. Just post links below that would be great. Im going to try all till i gain my root access back.

Superuser does not root your phone . In fact your phone must be rooted to install Superuser from the market . Just download Z4root and put the Z4root.apk on your phone then install it .
