[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
Hi there,

When you help your friend, make sure he does all the Flashing and stuff, otherwise he will bug you if he gets any error. << Just Friendly suggestion.

About Superclean, you are absolutely right, it is one of the top choice for Fascinate users, if not the best.

BEFORE DOING ANY OF THESE STEPS, MAKE SURE TO BACK UP EVERYTHING. Contacts w/e u need after installing ROM.

Best Backup App is Titanium Back-Up. (It's 5bucs, but worth every penny)

This is my guide for those who have issues/errors with Fascinate, but can be used for the Rooting/Rom/Theme/Kernel.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001064

Must Do before all the steps

1. Download and Install Samsung Drivers

64bit:

http://www.wikifilez.com/root file...alaxyS_x64.zip

or

32bit:

http://www.wikifilez.com/root file...Phones_x86.exe

2. Go to Settings > Applications > Development > Enable Debugging then plug in your phone

Step 1: Download Z4Root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

put it into sdcard, click "my files", then install it. After that, click Permanent Root. If its done, the Phone should reboot.

Step 2: Now you have successfully rooted your phone, you can Download CWM, but before you do that, you need Odin.

Download Odin here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832827

Then Download CWM: I uploaded this link by myself, couldn't find decent one.

http://www.4shared.com/file/08yRO9cs/cwm-recovery-ALL.html

Step 3: To flash CWM, you have to turn your phone to "Download Mode"

It can be done simply by taking battery out and Holding down button + home key, then plug it to USB.

Step 4: Now you are ready to flash CWM. Open the Odin, if your phone is connected, the message box should say "Added!!" Then, you are good to go.

After that, click "PDA" and click the CWM.tar file and press Start.

Don't unplug until the message @ bottom shows up!

When the process is done the message box should say

" Removed!!

Completed..

All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)"

Step 5: When its done, put the battery back on. When it starts, it should go in to 2.5.1.x Red CWM. Its perfectly fine, now just click reboot now.

Volume Down > Down

Volume Up> Up

Menu > Back

Back Button > Forward

Step 6: Download SC Rom here:

I suggest NV, until he gets familiar with Fascinate.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983395

Then put it into SD Card.

Step 7: Turn off your phone, then Start the Phone by pressing BOTH of Volume key > Power button.

It should take you back to CWM.

When you are in CWM

Wipe DATA/Cache

Wipe Dalvik (click Advance)

Step 8: Click "Install zip from SDCARD"

Then click the Archive you've saved the ROM.

Then Apply it, it might take a while to Copy files.

When its done, click "Reboot System Now"

Rebooting might take 2~5 mins or more.

Your phone is rooted/Rom'd

You can choose theme that is SuperClean friendly.

Let me know if there's any problem....

If this helped you.

Press THANKS button !!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziggy484:
The steps above absolutely will work, but theres an easier way. Look over at droidforums for the "eb01 odin package" thread... there are way less steps, and it will set you up with root, froyo, and whatever version of superclean you want, its like 3 steps, if you follow the directions you wont screw anything up.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
Fixed. Thx for pointing out.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
I got a couple of questions.. how do i 'open' Odin and can't i just flash cwm from rom manager? Or does that create problems? Why NV? I read that voodoo gives a lot more performance and that's what he really wants..

Btw are these steps for Linux? I only have windows

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
1. Odin is for .tar/.tar.md5 files.

You CWM is for Zip files. Nowadays, Developers use Zip. Ex:Theme/Kernel/ROM.

Then you can Flash JT's new EC10 Kernel(Got Sound << BEST, Color << someone said it would only work if the Brightness is 100%; no Auto Brightness, BLN << Can download via APP)

Refer to

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010102

for further information.

2. You can Flash Voodoo ROM over NV. (Just Wipe DATA/caches/Dalvik).

When you flash Voodoo and restart, female voice will come up. Don't Panic, its suppose to come up, it might take while. Just wait.

3. Its for Windows.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
if it is on 1.5 then probably not

one of the main reasons people root is to install 1.6+
[Droid X General] mikejs78:
TBH is in the process of right now releasing a leaked Moto build of Gingerbread 2.3.3. As of right now, they have been unable to root it, as all known root methods appear to no longer work. Anyone want to tackle it?
[Droid X General] smyers1012:
obviously not gonna be easy....if TBH can't do it.. I doubt anyone can
[Droid X General] mikejs78:
Don't think anything is impossible. They just got the release yesterday. It sometimes takes a collaboration of several devs to get root.
[Droid X General] DroidTh3ory:
If my download ever finishes I gonna try like hello and throw everything I have at it. Lol.
[Droid X General] luigi90210:
i have an idea about getting root but im not sure if it will work or not but pretty much instead of rebooting after installing 2.3.3 you install the su.zip file found somewhere on xda and you should have root but im not 100% sure
[Droid X General] JinxtPhoto:
That will soft-brick the phone and you'll have to SBF from RSDLite. You can't install any other zips directly after installing a ROM or it won't pass the signature verification on reboot.
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
I'll be waiting in hopes you all find root!!!
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
Anyone try the SuperUser app in the market... says it worked flawlessly in GB for N1..?
[Droid X General] db306:
Which app is it?
[Droid X General] Jewremy:
Doesn't the Nexus S on 2.3.3 have root?

Edit: nevermind. Locked bootloader.
[Droid X General] rocko73:
Locked bootloader and root access are two different things.
[Droid X General] ram130:
tried SuperOneClick(special), same process for 3.4.2 blur..no go.
[Droid X General] wmedina1991:
has anyone tried z4root?
[Droid X General] ram130:
Yes, failed too..
[Droid X General] db306:
Several times. no luck
[Droid X General] luigi90210:
well the nexus s/one use a method which requires the bootloader to be unlocked in order to obtain root so technically speaking they are the same in this case

so far though i have been reading about a gingerbreak exploit from the same guy who released rageinthecage exploit

maybe if we contacted him he might release gingerbreak so we can have root access
[Droid X General] wmedina1991:
that sucks
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
Search the market for "Superuser" and there is an app that has comments stating it worked for GB on N1.

I downloaded it and ran it and it seemed to have done the first part of what it needed to do fine... but now the next step is flash this .zip update that is on the memory card through recovery...... I don't want to be the genea pig as I need my phone atm...

EDIT: Just read luigi's post.. not sure now...
[Droid X General] mikejs78:
Where did you see this?

Also, I wonder if the below Kernel exploit could be used..

http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2010/Dec/85

I may play around with this when I get home tonight. If anyone else wants to in the meantime, feel free.
[Droid X General] drewlamo1:
looks promising, says in his quote he didnt want to release till more 2.3 devices were out ( so they couldnt fix his exploit ) but hopefully he will release it soon ish
[Droid X General] mikejs78:
I am curious about the full-nelson exploit and see if it might work for Android. The file itself likely won't as I doubt that either Google or Moto included econet in their Kernels, but the primary exploit may work if we can find another exploit that will allow the clone exploit to work.

This is going to be a beast. We are charting new territory here. This is the first real copy of Gingerbread on a locked device and there really is no path to follow other than looking at the Linux Kernel and for vulnerabilities within that Kernel. All of the existing vulnerabilities (rageagainstthecage, psneuter, etc.) appear to have been patched.

I have tried to download SuperOneClick v1.7

At first mcafee wasn't even allowing me to download the file. I seem to have downloaded it though and ran it.. btw I also get this error ... Android Platform sooner single ADB interface failed to load driver. it said it cannot load on this computer being that it was not signed properly... I'm not sure that, that line in driver software is even reffering to SuperOneClick but it seemed to be. Anyways when i do get SOC up and running it it says

killing ADB server

OK

Deamon not running. starting now on port 5037

deamon starting successfully

OK

waiting for devise

Then it just hangs ... if i try clicking or mving the software SOC it just freezes and i always get a not responding .. I let it sit for like 20 minutes ithought any change ... any help would be appreciated...

Usually AV software will recognize it as a threat and will remove parts of the file. I would recommend disabling your AV software when you download it and run the program.

yeah,

I've turned of my McAfee .. at least the scan and firewall [thats' all i could find to turn off]. I even tried SuperOneCLick v1.5.5 and i said something different but basically hung in the same spot ..

Anyways same problem ... oh yeah im tying to do this to a virgin mobile optimus v

[Captivate General] bnevets27:
Is it possible to map the bottom Capacitive Buttons to launch apps? It would nice to be able to change what they do and add functionality.

ie. long press on home launches "active apps" instead of task manager, long press on menu launches voice actions.

I know how to map the search key to camera but that is very easy/simple.
[Captivate General] sailerboy:
You can do this with Cyanogenmod. IDK what else though.
[Captivate General] ahurley:
How do you map the camera to the search key? Is it on long press or regular?
[Captivate General] bnevets27:
file located at:

/system/usr/keylayout/melfas-touch.kl

Key 107 SEARCH

change to

Key 107 CAMERA

save

I did it all with root explorer.

It changes the search button to be a camera button, launches and takes pictures. You lose search but long press on menu brings up search.

Anyone have anymore info on this?
[Captivate General] ahurley:
when i make those changes in root explorer, i hit save but when i open the file again it is back to search. any tips?
[Captivate General] bnevets27:

[Captivate General] iFalcon:
Hi -

I just purchased a new Captivate...mint condition. It's still on 2.1.

I'm interested to just getting it updated to the official 2.2 software release. However, at the same time I plan to spend several days studying how to root and installing custom roms.

My question is if I install the official 2.2 update then would I still be able to apply custom roms. I learned the hard way that once 2.2 was applied to the HTC Aria, rooting was out of the question.

Anyway, thanks everyone. By the way, I came from the 3GS. Captivate is really a nice change.

Thanks.
[Captivate General] jjtitus098:
The search function is your friend. Use it.
[Captivate General] iFalcon:
Okay. Sorry to have asked.
[Captivate General] jjtitus098:
Don't be sorry. I understand, but there are a ton of threads that show how to do everything.
[Captivate General] LNJ:
Don't update to the stock 2.2 cause it will give you the new 3e recovery issue.

Just flash to a custom 2.2 custom rom.
[Captivate General] iFalcon:
Thanks all. I used Android about 1 year ago, but then jumped to the dark side. Trying to pick up a few things again.

A wealth of active information over here. Great to see!
[Captivate General] thekurrgan:
Stock 2.2 is no problem to root / whatever you want to do.

Go to the Developer section of these forums and you'll find all the info you want.

Basically the general idea is this:

The program that can flash these phones directly is available (Odin 1.3)

Therefore you can always do what you want. the 2e recovery is technically easier to root, but gaining this back is as simple as downloading a 6mb kernel and flashing with Odin, and poof you are in Clockwork mod and can do what you want.

Basically, upgrade away, you're never stuck with a captivate provided you dont screw up the boot or sbl. (Search those for explanation)
[Captivate General] matt868686:
if you definitely plan on installing a custom rom, i'd stay on stock eclair. I recently installed Serendipity 6.2 (my first custom rom), and it required an ODIN back to stock 2.1 (unfortunately i had updated to stock froyo). i'm not sure if all roms require this, but it certainly would have saved a few steps if i was on stock eclair. nothing really exciting in stock froyo, especially if you plan on going the custom rom route anyway.

also, i highly recommend Serendipity (now 6.3)
[Captivate General] iFalcon:
Thanks for the replies.

I was able to root cand flash a custom rom - firefly last night. It's really fun to be back in the game again. Can't say I miss the iPhone so far, but we'll see.

Thanks.
[Captivate General] bornjamerican:
I was disappointed with official the froyo update. Custom roms are much better than stock. You'll also gain a deeper appreciation for what the devs do.

It'll probably work, but... why??? You already have a perfectly functional Ubuntu running on your phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deleted member 2488575:
Well to access that I will need some output monitor. I would like to have Ubuntu on the screen itself.

What is the worst that can happen to the phone if I tried it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
The worst? Who knows? ;)

Sure, you could set up a VNC server under the Ubuntu and then run VNC from either your device (Android) or from an external client. That's what the linked method is doing, so there's nothing inherently better about it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deleted member 2488575:
Well I don't know much but do you think that method at the source will work?

It doesn't seem to dive into the phone too much. It seems like an app. Also does anyone know of a way to get rid of it after I install it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
Me? No idea. I'm not sure how much magic is happening behind the scenes, and I'm currently involved in, well, making sure that the Ubuntu that Motorola ships works well to look too deeply into this. Sorry. :(

[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
Yes... For starters... Get rid of ROM Manager. it doesn't work very well on the gTab. ClockworkMod (Bekit's .8 version) is best if you must have a menu driven recovery. Roebeet has updated TnT Lite to offer both stock and CWM recovery methods as needed so you might want to take a look at that.
