Hi all,

I used Z4 root (1.1.0) to root my Samsung Galaxy I9000, and proceed to use OCLF from RyanZa. this worked fine and I got the Superuser icon.

Yesterday, having heard rumor that KIES already release 2.3, I undo the lag fix and without removing the EXT2 tools, I tried to get a firmware update through KIES. It did update my phone but the version is still 2.2

this is what it looks like after the firmware update

Model Number
GT-I9000

Firmware Version
2.2

Baseband version
I9000DXJPB

Kernel Version
2.6.32.9
root@SE-S604#1

Build Number
Froyo.DXJPE

PDA I9000DXJPE

CSC I9000OLBJPA

PHONE I9000DXJPB

Build Info: 2010. 12

I then tried to root it again, because I can't stand the lag. I've tried these methods:

Z4 Root ([APP] z4root - xda-developers) doesn't work

One Click Root (How to root unroot Samsung Galaxy S i9000 easiest way one click Tool) doesn't work as well

Copy an update zip (Detailed guide on rooting the Galaxy S - Samsung Galaxy S Forums - Galaxy S II Forum) doesn't work as well.

For method 2 and 3, I got a message that verification failed.

Any advice on this will be much appreciated!
