Hi, who has rooted a Galaxy S with Android 2.2 ?
Because I´ve found a guide on xda-developer how to root Android 2.2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400

this guide seems to be a little bit complicated compared with this tool:
http://gorumors.com/samsung-galaxy-s-rooting-guide-i9000/2754159

which is really easy, and worked at least with android 2.1.

Any suggestion what´s the best/correct/easiest way to do it?

If you want to root the phone all you have to do is only:
- CLOSE KIES!!!
- Extract and copy update.zip to /sd of phone
- Run Odin with Auto Reboot UN-checked, loading the i9000_Kernel.tar as PDA
- Put the phone into download mode and flash the i9000 Kernel.
- Pull the battery. reboot into recovery mode and flash the update.zip you put in the root folder of your sdcard.
- Pull the battery again, reboot into download mode again.
- Run Odin with Auto Reboot checked, loading the I9000XXJPC_KERNEL.tar as PDA
- Reboot

Recovery mode is the one that you get by pressing volumeUP + home + power

One click software does exactly what is explained in the guide but as a macro and *obviously*, one click is less than three. This doesn't mean that the operation is difficult or, god save us, dangerous.
