1. If you already have a custom recovery (CWM/TWRP) installed, then to reboot into it: Power off, hold Volume"-" and Power keys, when Samsung logo appears, let go of Power but hold down Volume"-" for long enough.

If you haven't even installed a custom recovery yet, check the root/recovery threads to learn to use Odin.

2. "Flashing" via recovery (Recovery mode is different from Download mode, be advised) consists of putting the file on SD card or internal memory, getting into recovery, selecting the aforementioned file and a cup of coffee to ease your unnecessary nervousness :)

3. Why do you want to access SD card in download mode? Download mode means you want to use Odin, so you should have Odin and the recovery file ready on your PC, instead of doing any operation to your phone storage. No worries, flashing a recovery won't touch the internal storage.

Root 4.2.2

Hi guys,

I recently got my Captivate Glide and directly wanted to root + flash the unofficial CM 10.1. Somehow root via Odin got me stuck in the "pre-boot" screen where it says "Samsung" (I "installed" the "CarrierIQ FREE kernel" [boot.tar]). After that I installed "CWMR 6.0.1.2" via Odin and formatted everything on the device. Then I installed CM 10.1, gapps and the "Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip". I didn't realize that this superuser isn't working with Android higher than 4.1.. So now I am there with CM 10.1 (Android 4.2.2) working very fine, but my device isn't rooted at all! I can't use root explorer, etc. and when I want to force update the superuser app it doesn't work, because i don't have root acces. I tried multiple ways to finally root it, e.g. SRS Root, but none of them worked.

TL;DR: How can I root my CM 10.1 (Android 4.2.2) Samsung Captivate Glide AT&T (CWMR installed)?

Greetings ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AndyYan:
Uh. On CM and many other custom ROMs, root is there by default. Just start Root Explorer and it'll ask you for permission (if not, press the Mount R/W button up top). Don't install anything unless you don't get root out of the box. Custom ROMs are born to avoid the hassles (e.g. rooting) of stock ROMs.

last help

Thanks for your post. Unfortunatelly I've looking for an hour what you say (custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). You need an Odin-flashable tar) and found nothing. Kindly, I request to be more specific. (I'm sorry I'm not that geek)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bbqbrisket:
the moon is full tonight and something is not right.

I pulled the battery, waited a good amount of time. Reinserted the battery and did a combo of power plus volume, released the power when icon appeared only to get Download mode request again.

What is different in the way Download mode is and Recovery procedure?

thanks
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AndyYan:
In the Download mode procedure, the Volume "+" is needed instead of Volume "-". I just verified this on my own Glide.

Question: when Samsung logo appears, does a line of word "Booting Android recovery..." also appear on top of the screen? You have to loose Power key after that line appears.

It's specific enough, you just didn't look hard enough at the Development subforum. :) In BIG CAPITALIZED letters, this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34479219 is a CWM recovery in Odin-flashable format - the download link attached even gives you a copy of Odin itself. Hope you're on the right way afterwards.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] bbqbrisket:
Well, an interesting turn of events occurred. In the process of trying to make this work for me, I was able to connect with Kies and able to upgrade from Ginger 2.3 to Android 4.0. After completed, I powered up and then powered down. In powering down, the screen not only showed the "power off" confirmation but it also had now a a new feature labeled "Restart". When I pushed "Restart" on the screen, I only held down the volume button and "recovery" did come up.

So, now that I can get into "recovery mode" , it's time to get back to the what I was suppose to do. Root.

So, with 4.0 what do I need to download now and what steps do I take?

Thanks again.:good:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] freshp:
Now you can download any ROM of your choice (meant for the captivate glide)

BACK UP YOUR EFS FOLDER FIRST!!!

place the downloaded rom either in the internal or external SD card,boot into CWM choose install from SD card then then navigate to the ROM you downloaded(using vol up and down keys),use the power button to select the ROM the process should begin.wait for it to finish then reboot the phone.you are done.

A couple of months ago, I was in your same position my man... totally worried about my phone wanting it to be the best... I finally did it, everything is in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1890125

To me this is the best ICS Rom available, it runs smooth, battery life is great, everything is working awesome, I wanted to try recently a JB Rom, but they all seem to be quite unstable. I will stick with LiteRom until a full working JBROM arrives. Hope this helps... Just follow the guide STEP BY STEP, and take your time :victory::good:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] freshp:
True the light ROM is quite stable...its been my driver for like a week now...I did try the paranoid JB ROM and it wiped my efs partition(thank God I had a backup),I had to go back to literom
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lasuazo:
I actually tried backing up the EFS folder, but the windows program for that, which i found in the android development forum, never worked. It kept on giving me an error message, therefore never was able to back it up. But ive noticed that whenever i do a Nandroid backup it shows that it backs up the EFS... By any chance does anybody knows if that will work?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] freshp:
No it will not..but look for an older version of the tool..v1.9 I think it worked for me...kudos to the developer...its really a life saver.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lasuazo:
I just installed CM 10.1 ROM supported by Spyke555 on my captivate glide, been testing it for a couple of days now, everything in this ROM so far has been great, I really like it, amazing experience, apparently very good battery life, still not able to test BT issues or skype audio, but will do over the weekend. Just a little mention regarding the rom itself for other users out there who want to try it out: I installed everything from my titanium backup, did NOT have problems with my EFS, IMEI remains the same. The only issue ive encountered so far was when i tried to Overclock with the system performance built in developer option, or with NoFrillsCPU... tried with both of them, and kept having reebots everytime i tried to unlock the phone pressing the power button, disabled dev options & uninstalled Nofrillscpu, problem solved

Just wanted to share a little for everybody who wants to try out CM 10.1. I loved LiteRom, but it was ICS4.0, and i had a problem with the toggles activating themselves by their own, other that that awesome rom... Soooooooooooo many many thanks to Thegreatergood & Spyke555 keep up the good work guys you did an awesome job with those ROMS!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] freshp:
Good I guess I could try paranoid ROM through titanium back up...,because each time I tried it through CWM my efs gets messed up and it becomes impossible to restore through the efs tool.

Thanks for the tips.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
For a discontinued phone, it sure seems to have a lot of life in it. Also for a discontinued phone, you can get one fairly easily: ebay has GOBS of these phones, new, and for less than $150. I still want to get the Relay 4G, but at that price, why not get them both, and the Captivate Glide first? I'm starting to see you should always have two phones. You just never know.

When I get one, though, I'll root it, but that's it. No custom ROMs, just whatever the latest and official Android OS is. For this I guess its Ice Cream Sandwich, which seems similar enough to Jelly Bean that I'll be fine. Why? Ever since losing Bluetooth functionality (I can only receive files, and only from other phones, can't send anything), I never realized how much I actually used Bluetooth. Plus battery life.

So I'm glad this thread is staying active. Looks like when I get one I'll get the AT&T version (the Rogers version is a little more expensive, oddly enough).

Hi,

I need some help with rooting this phone. It's my first attempt to root any android device.

Phone is currently on Android 2.3.6. I want to root it so I can make EFS backup, and then upgrade to ICS. Can I install CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY 6.0.1.2 on this Android version? Does it matter which Android version phone is running in order to install CWMR 6.0.1.2? Thanks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] freshp:
You can install cwm 6.0.12 ..no problems.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
Thanks. I managed to root, flash ICS, root again and flash LiteKernel 4. It improved my wireless and wake issue is little better but not completely fixed.

Pretend I am new to this......cause I am!!!

Thank you for any help you can give!

Step by step or links would be useful!:D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AndyYan:
I'm on a phone so pretty much can't do much for now, but here's a post of mine in case these info help. I'll go into details maybe later on my PC.

If you don't know Odin is, then get some lessons first, it's really fundamental and easy to use.

Sent from Samsung Captivate Glide @ CM10.1.2
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ll81702:
THANK YOU!

I used Odin to perform the rooted process the OP posted, so I know how to use it as far as that, I will follow your post and update thank you!

?? Can I install the overclocked boot image, without having to reintall the firmware??

I loaded your file --- is this just the clockwork application?Odin says passed but i dont see the app on my phone.

I also see alot of other poster with links to things like a version CM10.1 - 4.2.2

And Gapps -- I will have to look into this, not sure what it is for, yet!

My current goal is to .......find a better kernel.....I am sure the OP's is outdated.....

AND.....a Rooted ROM......that will work with my phone.

Or, did loading your CWM6.0.1.2 do all that? -- I know it's not rooted but did it update the kernel?

The other ROM's I am finding do not come with a image like yours did....Do they need to be unzipped and then compiled as a tar or md5 to use?

Do I need clockworkrom manager app or TWRP - then put the zip file on my phone? Update from there?

Ok, so I need to manually add a clockwork recovery TWRP.......then I can use ROM manager, only if i am rooted?!?

Which brings me back full circle gotta have an image that will work with Odin that is already rooted in order to install any other ROM via clockwork or TWRP.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AndyYan:
Okay, so you now know how to use Odin, and you supposedly know how to load CWM 6.0.1.2. Now, custom ROMs are available in zip format, but they are intended to be flashed inside CWM/TWRP, not unzipped. Just go ahead (but make damn sure you're originally on stock 4.0) - if you want stock but rooted experience, install the "Stock UCLJ3" found in the dev section and you'll have a rooted but otherwise untouched stock ICS. Or if you long for speed and don't mind occasional hiccups, flash CM10.1 and optionally flash the gapps zip package. Gapps are "Google Apps" which brings you the ability to log into Google Accounts, use Play Store and other Google services - these abilities are there by default in stock ROMs but not in those CM/PAC ROMs.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] ll81702:
Current issue.......I did load your file BUT,was it the CWM app? If so I cant find it on my phone. ---FOUND IT its loaded at boot by pressing volume down.

I tried to load up TWRP but it just hangs when I open it and clockworkmod app tells me i need root.

I downloaded the STOCK UCLJ3 zip file.

Sorry to be such a noob but I really am reading all i can about doing this stuff but it's just a little outside of my comfort zone but thats what makes it fun!

Thank you for working with me and being so kind!

Also, found out you cant load anew boot img after loading the ROM, so......learned what not to do there!

So, now to reload the OP ROM and then i can load the stock uclj3 rooted rom to the sd card and useing CWM, you provided, reload!......hopefully!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ll81702:
My Plan!

1. Get my phone bootable again - done -- OP's Rooted ROM --

2. Load Rooted - UCALJ3 - Stock to the root of my SD Card

3. Load it using CWM6 - provided by AndyYan

........this should work....right?

All is well pulling everything in from google backup and running great with the overclock kernel!

I am rooted using literom on android 4.0.4

first double check the instructions, wipe data, dalvik cache, mount & partitions /system, wipe data, install cm10 ROM, reeboot phone, when you get to the setup screen, turn of the phone go to recovery mode again, flash the gapps version it states in the OP of the CM10 ROM, reeboot phone, wait for it to load and ready:good:

Load the zipped ROM to your SD card and boot into cwm6 and load it. That's it should update just fine. The boot up process could take a long time without a clean wipe of your phone.

I finally did it so if anyone new to flashing and have cm6 do this: 1 get your ROM (in this case I used cm 10.1 because I thought it was the most stable) and gapps,2put it on your SD card 3 wipe phone wipe cache 4 install

Wow these instructions are so old, and screwed up my Glide. PLEASE REMOVE

Others have posted here about problems, I think stemming from trying to root this way when you're already upgraded to 4.0. Others have posted "newer", simpler instructions, so I'm not sure why this is stickied.

You end up stuck with a little green android guy and a message about google frameworks, and the fix is to wipe all your user data. Well that's great for people who saved their user data, but generally you need root access to do this stuff, and people told me "Don't worry, you can do a simple root BEFORE backing up your data, and BEFORE backing up your EFS"

So, yeah, I think this is bad advice, and it leaves you with android 2.3 or whatever :p

But it's what I did, and then I installed CWRM and flashed Bubors CM10.2

Now I'm having problems. My battery will run fine until it gets to 80%, and then just plummet till it's dead. I get a total of 5 hrs of use now. I also have the blue triangle with exclamation point on startup. Everything else seems to work as advertised.

Is it necessary to have 4.0 or a newer "base/stock" rom before flashing a custom rom? I don't understand why. Will that solve my problem?

I would love to post this to the developers but I don't have permission : p
