In the early days of Vibrant, you could easily root via update.zip. Then that stopped working, I think because of the 3e recovery. Anyway, I just use one of the already rooted ROMS like the deodexed and rooted KB5 found in the development section.
But update.zip should still work for you if you are running an older stock vibrant rom.
Do you know what odin is?
This is what I did.
Odin to jfd
use update.zip to root JFD
Install clockworkmod recovery or it's update.zip
Then apply your ROM of choice... I run deodexed/rooted KB5. I'm a fan of stock.
just read everything in that link above it explains the different ways to root ur phone.
my fav method.
Check usb debugging and unknown sources in settings
Go to 4shared.com and dl z4root.
Root.
Simple.

A few things u should check for right away because some sgs are hardware locked.
1-see if u can get into recovery mode via the 3 button mode
--a.turn off phone
--b.pull out the battery
--c.press the volume up + volume + power button down and keep holding
--d.insert battery
--e.**deleted my bad got ahead of myself
--f.wait for it to to turn on at this point u can let go of the power button - keep holding the volume buttons
--g.once u see the yellow text u can let go of all the buttons and it'll put u into recovery mode
2-see if u can get into download mode via the usb cable method
--a.power off phone
--b.remove battery
--c.plug in the micro usb cable into a computer that is on
--d.press and hold the volume up and down buttons
--d.plug in phone to micro usb while holding the volume buttons
--e.insert your battery while holding volume buttons
--f.wait for a few seconds then viola you should see the android dude with a shovel digging

z4root doesn't work on the ota froyo rom from kies - you have to use the modded 3e update, SuperOneClick, or aio vibrant toolbox - least not when i last tried it anyways...
easiest way to root from 2.2 is to go back to 2.1 from odin and use the update package root method. If u cant root with the 2.1 method of installing the update package, i cant help u.....no need to be on 2.2 stock as ur gonna put on a rom anyway so it doesnt matter wht stock u have on.

Update.zip did not work. I have a Samsung Vibrant purchased in 2010 w/Froyo. I am a newbie and am trying to root the phone in order to back it up using Titanium and then do a factory reset because the phone has slowly become unusable. I still don't know how to root the darn phone. Still reading forum after forum. Anyway, my two cents was that file doesn't work.

I followed the guide on Pathik Shah to put Froyo on Galaxy S phones. I assumed since I the Vibrant was a Galaxy S phone it would work. Now I'm stuck in the recovery screen. I can't select anything or get to downloader mode because there's no OK button to do the combination with.
What do I do? How can I possibly get any Vibrant FW back on my phone?
You can use adb to reboot when in recovery. I'm not sure what version of froyo you installed so I can't guarantee how to safely reflash original firmware--a few months ago a bunch of people messed up their phones by installing a European firmware then trying to reinstall our firmware.

In development section go to the bible and download the froyo rom that does not brick and continue from there.
Hey Gang! I did some searching and couldn't find my answer so I need some help please. I have the Vibrant (tmo). I did the one click root and then installed Ginger clone final R2. All worked well but then I noticed I could not get back into Clockwork recovery to try another ROM. So... I found the thread explaining how to get back to factory firmware. I did that. Now when I try to Odin, Im no longer able to get the phone to the download screen. I was able to re root with the One Click Root and that worked but I still can not access Clockwork recover or the Download mode or anything to get a ROM on. I guess Im just not doing something or Im a noob idiot. That being said... call my an idiot and walk me through to fix this mess.
Thank you in advance
To get back to download mode try to
1.take off battery
2.run odin as administrator
3.plug in usb cable
4.hold the volume keys and while you are holding them plug back the battery

From any screen hold pwr button and vol up and vol down....keep holding untill you see the vibrant boot screen then release all at the same time. That will rake you to recovery if the reinstall pkgs option is there just click it. You may have to do this twice in order to get into clockwork recovery. Do this with the phone unplugged. hope this helps

First questions in question section. Second when on the blue screen go to reinstall packages that will take you to the green recovery screen. You may have to click reinstall a second time. Third the easiest way to download is to make sure your phone is off. Plug usb into phone only. Press and hold both volume buttons while still holding them plug other end of usb into computer.

The way I get to recovery is with the phone off I
1.hold down volume up and down also the power button
2.when you see the vibrant screen keep holding all thee
3.you will c the vibrant screen one more time when you do stop holding power but keep holding the volume keys
4.then hit reinstall packages...you might have to hit it more than once

OK.... I downloaded terminal. Then reboot download. That worked, so I loaded up Odin, loaded the files and it failed. Then I just rebooted the phone and now I have a black screen with an icon in the middle of a cellphone and computer with an orange explaination mark in between them. Am I hosed?

Easiest way, after you have odin'd back to stock and rooted your phone.
Download the app Rom Manager for the market.
The first thing you need to do once Rom Manger is installed is copy the rom you want to flash to your internal SD card.
Then Start Rom Manger.
The first time you use Rom Manager is select the top menu item "Flash ColockworkMod Recover" and select your phone in this case I am assuming "Samsung Vibrant"
After the flash completes select "Install Rom from SD card".
It is fairly self explanatory from there.
Good luck.
Ok first, as stated before questions go in QA section no development.
to access CWM Recovery you may have to keep the update.zip file in internal SD card root
Odin is different
power off the phone, pressing volume up+down at the same time (don't touch power or you will keep going into recovery) until you get on download mode. (different than recovery).
Plug USB, ready to odin
When ODIN back to original, be SURE to check Re Partition and load the pit and phone files.

Thank you Dave! I was using Rom Manager with failed attempt, however Im game for another try. As soon as I get back to stock, I will give it another go. Cross your digits!
I do not know why this is so difficult now. I got back to an unwanted factory rom. I rooted the phone, put the new rom on the internal mem card. Downloaded Rom Manager. Installed Clockwork. Selected Install ROM from sdcard. Selected the rom and it rebooted to the original recovery (blue and yellow). No signs of Clockwork recovery (green). Now I have a rooted phone with an umwanted fatory rom and can install any other rom on it.
This sounds like a problem I was having for awhile. After installing clockwork mod it would only reboot to the standard recovery screen. I had to install update.zip again from this screen several times and eventually it stopped asking me for this step and started to boot clockwork mod properly.

Just keep your CWM update.zip file in the root of the internal SD Card
Now if you installed Froyo leaked rom stock, and the Recovery now on top says 3einstead of 2e, then you need to fix that, look for the thread to convert 3e to 2e otherwise CWM won't work anymore. you need to be rooted and have root explorer or know how to use either adb or terminal

Download ClockWork's Rom Manager from the market "Rom Manager" and install their recovery from inside the app - hope this helps.
You can try to do the ROM manager flash CwMRecovery, boot into blue recovery choose "reinstall packages" and that should give you green recovery.
The above process may need to be repeated multiple times. Once you access green recovery choose "apply sdcard:update.zip" then choose "advanced" and "reboot recovery"
I personally don't think you should not be using any one click root app to aquire ROOT. I would suggest you uninstall any said app and ROOT your phone properly, you can use the GUIDE sticky and it should be fairly straight thru and easy. Good luck!

I did this method and it is back to stock and has lost it's root. I need to root it again. can you point me in the right direction for a good root process? I am new to the Vibrant. Knew everything about the myTouch 4G and now have to switch my thinking. It's quite different. I would appreciate it. Thanks
install rom manager and then do a clockwork recovery from thereonce u have that done. Then u get the update package and do the 3 button combo and u will be on a blue screen and then install packages u will have to do this twice. after that it will turn green and ur there and rooted.
Ok, it's just not reinstalling packages for me again. I used Odin to get back to stock, and I lost root and was back on 2.1 Eclaire. I used Super one click to get root back. Flashed Rom Manager. Went into recovery with volume up and down and power. I was able to install packages and it worked and got me to green CWM. Then I installed the 2.2 update using Keis, flashed Rom Manager. I went back into recovery, I got the blue screen again. Tried to reinstall packages and it aborted again with signature error, tried multiple times and no go. What is up! I just can't get it to work. I certainly do not want to stay on 2.1 Eclair.

I honestly think the signature issue is due to kies update or the one click root option. (prob the kies update but not sure)
- This is the method I use to ROOT and would suggest everyone use as well:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479. Once in green recovery I would recommend making a nandroid backup before moving on.
- I would not recommend using kies to update to 2.2.
If you just want stock 2.2 I would suggest try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193. I would suggest you use the CwM version opposed to the ODIN version for reasons stated by OP there.
- Honestly I would search the Vibrant Android Development thread and take a look at some other custom ROMs you might like. You might like Bionix1.3.1 its 2.2 firmware and the theme and mod option support is out of this world. There are alot of 2.2.1 ROMs available as well you might like.

You need to install a stock recovery replacement that doesn't check the signature. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423 tells how. Or just Odin back to a firmware from before signature checking in the recovery screen was activated, but then you may have to re-root your phone.
The version of 2.2 that Kies installs has the signature checking recovery, so if you're running with that, you'll have to replace your recovery. Anything earlier, and you should be fine without.
I just want to say thank you to everyone for being so helpful. TMO is sending me a replacement because I was having freezing issues and email notifications not working. I will definitely root it the correct way and use all your helpful links. I think my next phone is going to be the SGS II. Can't wait for the US release

Are you saying that all Rom's run on 2.1? I tried Darky's 9.5 Rom and it fc'sd everything and threw my phone into constent ringing.
I think the BIG issue is just NOT to do the samsung kies update thats what borks things up. Its easier to root everything from 2.1 and then if you want 2.2 or 2.2.1 or 2.3 just flash custom ROMs. If you want to do the official samsung kies update I would suggest not to ROOT at all. Just get your new phone and update it. Good luck!
I definitely want to root it. I changed Rom's all the time on my myTouch 4G. I'll get it worked out
Awesome! I'm sure you'll get it just the way you want it, personalized to fit your tastes. Just keep in mind to stick with custom ROMs after you ROOT and not to do the samsung kies update. There are a number of GREAT 2.2 and 2.2.1 custom ROMs available for our device with little or no bugs at all thanks to the hard werk of multiple Devs and Dev teams with unlimited theme and modification options, hope you find exactly what your looking for. Good luck!
need help. i flashed 2.3.3 and it wont go into recovery now. tried both 3 button combo and rom manger into recovery. just reboots my phone
After you flash the update.zip and get root. You dont have to do the kies update in order to flash other roms. Just root and dont do the kies update. Remember after you flashed a custom rom wait 10 minutes n reboot. Theres alot of guides in here . Check the stickies. I would recommend trigger 3.2 with bullet

Hi
My Vibrant has a 3 button problem. No matter which rooting mechanism i try, in the end i have to select the package with power button, but due to the 3 button problem my power button does not function in the recovery menu.
Presently i am using 2.3.3 Gingerbread stock ROM for I9000. I was using Bonix and CM7 before it. I would like to go back and try more ROMs, but I can only use Odin as power button will not select which-ever ROM i upload to phone. Can anyone please post/share me the link for a preRooted Odin ROM for Vibrant.

Do you want to root and stay stock or do you want to flash a custom rom as well? And are you familiar with odin and how to use it?
Have never used odin. I would like to flash a nice clean rom of some sort eventually when i figure out what all the diffrences are. Also have not installed Clockworkmod.
Here is a quick guide to rooting if you are still running ED01:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046855
As for a stable and clean rom, I would suggest the Community rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108991
and if you are not on ED01 and don't mind losing installed apps, you can skip the rooting process and install the commmunity rom zip from clockwork mod just by flashing over clockwork recovery. Make a backup in clockwork recovery before you install any rom though, this will save you a very large headache of going back to stock and having to update all over again should anything go wrong.
there is one major thing to always pay attention to:
ONLY use the PDA button in Odin, NEVER use the Phone button (this will brick your phone)
Also not afriad to do the research and learn to use odin . Especially if this is considred to be the best method for rooting and installing roms and kernels. Does the fact that I have used ADB method affect usining odin. Do I need to Unroot my device and start fresh? and anything special I should know about Clockworkmod?

Well, here is Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?429fcpdtpckkcea download and install on your PC. Once you have done that, download this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/06al8prkgj29gps/cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar to your PC and remember where you put it.
I suggest community rom for you but you are welcome to choose something else. Download this and put it on the root or base of your SD card. Here is the link: http://www1021.megaupload.com/files/2f6ba494eabf66de4d3888ed8fcd3f20/UKB_2_pbj50_fixed.zip This has a slightly undervolted kernel so it will give you better battery life.
Once you have done all of that, power off your phone and take the battery out. Hold the volume down button and at the same time plug your phone into your PC. This should put you into download mode on the phone. Open odin on the PC and Hit the "PDA" button. ONLY THE PDA BUTTON FOR THIS!!! Then find the cwm 3-30-fix all tar and select it. Then hit start. When it finishes you will see a green "PASS", unplug the phone and put battery in. Hold down the volume up and down buttons and the power buttons ALL at the same time and hold them until you see the samsung symbol. Then navigate to wipe data/factory reset and hit the power button. This will wipe your data. Make sure to save your phone numbers first. Then go to install zip from SD card and then choose zip from SD card and then find community rom and then hit the power button. Let it flash and then hit the menu button and you will go back to the main cwm recovery menu. Select "reboot now". The phone will boot and you will be running rooted community rom with an undervolted kernel. ENJOY
Ok cool . so im still wondering if the method I used should be reversed . Was it a bad method ? Just trying to learn and understand as much about rooting as possible.

Don't even know what method you used but if you are rooted then no need to unroot. Just Odin cwm recovery and then boot immediately into the recovery and wipe and then flash whatever rom you have already put on your SD card.

No differences really. Just different methods of pushing the necessary files to your phone to give you root access. If you do in fact have root access, then you don't need to unroot. One method is just as good as another. Start doing some research on custom roms and kernels. You change those via clockworkmod recovery.
