sorry for posting thiss but i cannot find an answer anywhere guys. Okay this might be a dumb question but my fascinate came stock with 2.1, and i have updated to 2.2 and then now running 2.3 do i have to flash it all the way back to 2.1 for roms? or is there a way i can root with my un-stock 2.3?
You don't need to root to flash roms.
The only reason you would root at this point, is ONLY if you where going to stay with the stock ROM and wanted to remove software that came pre-installed.
Flash whatever ROM you want, you can flash no matter what version you are on, 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3. Just make sure you do your homework, and learn about what you are flashing first, and if there are any other necessary steps to flash.
ooohh okay so if i root thats only if im going to 2.1 and going to stay there?
thnx alot answered a question that no one else has for me
All custom roms will come pre-rooted. So all you need to do is flash the appropriate recovery, and flash a rom. Your phone will be rooted.

I'm new to this rom stuff guys i read around and still can't seem to find the answer...
since the Vibrant stock fw is 2.1-Update 1
DO i have to download a rom that's 2.1?
or can i just go to 2.2.1 or 2.2?
so your on 2.1update-1 thing?
and want to get a 2.2 or 2.2.1?
Just root your phone, get rom manager, flash clockwork recovery, then flash roms. there's guides on this, their stickied.
Find em' im on phone
what I'm trying to say is do i need to be on firmware 2.2 to run roms 2.2 etc.
No. Root/rom manager/clockwork/pick your rom/flash per devs instructions. Literally that simple and almost as fast as you reading this.
The rom will wipe and flash over any existing firmware you have no matter what.
Oh ok thanks <3!
i haven't got the machine yet, i dont find the tutorials available are noob-friendly and something about upgrading & downgrading are not clearly mentioned, maybe it's just because i am a little bit retarded.
if im not mistaken to install custom froyo rom from the stock 2.1:
stock 2.1->root->recovery->install rom, right?
So how do i get back to stock 2.1?
Is it useful to backup stock 2.1 using the recovery?
When i want to get back to 2.1 from froyo can i just restore my backup through recovery or i need any flashtool?
PLease help me
I dont know why you moving to 2.1 ROM when you can get amazing future on custom rom.
But you if decided then search for stock ROM 2.1 in forum it will be in .zip format (I got once but forgot link) OR go to SE web site choose your device & follow instation process with the help of SE PC suite.
Hope this is useful.
I did try to search but can't find the answer. I am about to root my new replacement TB. My old phone was rooted and running the stock rom from the original rooting thread. So my question is in the last flash of rooting do you have to use the rom in the thread or can you go straight to bamf or whatever? Thanks
Once your rooted you can go to any Rom you want. Some want you to use a certain radio though.
ROM
Im using Eaton ROM 1.5.3 with MR2.5 radio...check it out it is a great build...
Hey,
I have recently flashed and installed a custom CM7 rom to my Galaxy 5 but i am not happy with the results and i wish to go back to Stock 2.2- i stupidly didnt create a backup, so can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get back to stock, i am completely new to this kind of stuff so please try and keep it simple!
Thanks
ok, what method did you use to flash this rom?
You may have to use a different way to flash back to 2.2.
This post : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/samsung-galaxy-5(gt-i5500)-rom-archive/ : has all the roms for our phone, so if you scroll down, after the third black line, you will see Official Roms's.
Look under that and you will see different regions 2.2 roms.
If you need any help with the flashing, just ask here
Thanks a bunch.
I flashed my rom using Odin to install Clockworkmod v4 then installed CM7 vis Clockworkmod.
Il have a read of that thread now but im pretty new to this so i may need some help
Im new to all this flashing and messing with mobiles and am a little lost so i need some help. I have a SGS2 running Checkrom V4 which im very happy with i have CWM installed and my rom backed up but i would like to upgrade to ICS. My issue is after doing loads of reading im not sure that its done through recovery and when you do have ICS on your device you don't have CWM so no easy way as far as i can tell to go back to gingerbread. I have odin on my PC that's setup and mobile Odin on the phone i just need someone to give some idiots instructions, what worrys me the most is no recovery. Is it worth waiting for a official ICS to come out that's stable with CWM or some other easy way to change roms, as i understand it some country is due it officially today.
Does someone have a idiot guide they can do for me of a decent stable Rom and how to install it and how the recovery works, i would really appreciate it, as all the threads have multiple parts that need flashing not just a simple rom there's add this and that. That doesn't worry me but i worry about becoming stuck on a ICS rom that's a load of ****, ideally i would like just a standard stock official UK rom that updates itself OTA or is stock with root and CWM but iknow we could be waiting a while for that.
thanks
Stickies...
Those are about the only thing i hdnt read.
cheers
