I hate to ask a newb question, but thats what I am when it comes to things like this. Will rooting using this method factory reset the phone as well?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Nope; it only flashes /system. Your data partition stays in-tact.

Of course, any time you mess with the device internals, there's a risk, so I'd highly recommend backing up anyway.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bedwa:
We can have an ezroot kernel if we either set the /system partition. As rw (read/write) instead of read only or set in the default.prop the following: ro.secure=0 & persist.service.adb.enable=1, then there's root in "adb shell" to remount the system partition as rw.

Is it a boot.img or initram packed zImage we're dealing with?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jayjayjoker2:
Are you using a USB that is a direct connection to the motherboard? usually that can cause issues, if your not on a connection to the motherboard it won't work.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] xqme:
vjkiller, mine hung at boot animation like the next two posters after you, until I changed to cwm from tkrp and did what I said, total factory wipe(data, cache, /system aka factoryfs.img, then heimdalling hidden.img and modem.bin (don't know if necessary), then unzipping a rom from /external_sd while in cwm recovery.

After that I think you could just dirty flash between thegreatergood's aokp, litekernel, literom, rootbox, vanillarootbox(flash over rootbox and probably any of the others to swap /sdcard with /external_sd at a low level via void.fstab booting mounts).

Flashing other roms would not be a good idea without wiping cache and dalvik, but maybe data could survive.

If you Titanium Backup you can bring back selected user data after thorough wipe. ROM Manager is pretty good but I'm having problems with it because it doesn't respect thegreatergood's cwm despite the official Stanley Kubrick logo.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Droid8Apple:
Tell me in a PM what your exact steps ere, i can try to help. Not on here every minute of the day but i will check back often for you.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] aznemesis:
I am having the same problem. Can I PM, as well? I can't get beyond this screen now, so the phone is unusable at this point.

EDIT: I think I know what the problem is. The first phone I got from AT&T was running Gingerbread. There were some problems with that phone, and I requested a warranty replacement. It appears that the replacement they sent me was upgraded to ICS. To use this rooting guide, I did a hard reset. This downgraded the OS back to Gingerbread. So, I was going to give this another shot. However, during the process, ODIN decided to hang. There was literally no way to get it to return my phone to me. Which means that the firmware ended up screwed. Now, I'm being told I need to do an emergency repair of the firmware. Problem? KIES won't make a connection with the phone, so I can't repair the firmware. So, now I'm even more hosed than I was before. The phone does not go beyond the Samsung screen. Any ideas?

EDIT 2: I was able to find the firmware at samfirmware.com, and use ODIN to flash it. Phone is fixed. Yay!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Droid8Apple:
didnt see this before replying to your PM lol, that's awesome that you searched and found all that to get it working again. are you going to give the root process another go? i was going to say that is you get to samsung it's not going into download mode. i have a JIG i bought for $8 that unbricked my original captivate i897- it was fun to do wahtever limit pushing you could think of and not haveto worry about it being bricked.

I'm A Noob

I know i probably sound dumb at the moment, but I've only rooted a g2x and that was years ago with super one click. Now I'm trying to root my captivate glide. It's a at&t and factory unlocked. How do i kno if it's a rogers version. i've searched the forums and i came up short. I'f anyone can give me a answer i would greatly apreciate
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
Not sure I understand the relevance of the question here... I have a Rogers phone and I've only briefly used it on rogers... You can network unlock the phone for free with certain apps (galaxsim i believe works).. Rooting the phone doesn't matter at all, flash with CWM using Odin, then apply superuser ..

To directly answer your question, pull the battery .. if it's rogers your phone model number will be i927R ..

[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
I don't use the Captivate Glide as my daily anymore, but I do NOT recommend using any of the methods in this thread to root your phone because they are for Gingerbread. The newer ICS roms do work on Rogers. Rooting with ICS is as simple as flashing CWM with Odin and then flashing superuser.

link dead

the link for the rogers rooted rom is dead. I already rooted my i927 with the att rogers rom, but now I can NOT select 4G as my default mobile network mode. Back when my phone was not rooted with the rogers stock rom I was able to select 4G instead of 3G as my default network mode, but now after rooting with the att variant that option is gone and the phone is only conecting through edge, which is painfully low in my country. Can some please provide the rogers rooted rom or tell if the rogers rooted one has that option disabled too. thanks
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roberto9992012:
Have you found it yet? I need it it's the only way I can unlock my rogers phone.... Please someone help me find the rooted rom
[Samsung Captivate Glide] leaffan99:
Ive tried looking too, anybody have a link please
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vjkiller:
try the att

Roberto you can try the ATT Stock rooted ROM. Once you have your phone rooted, you can download an app called GalaxSim Unlock, someone from the XDA forum is the developer and has the link in the post reggarding his app. With that app you can unlock your phone.

I tell you that app works, because my Captivate Glide got unlocked suddenly (from Rogers, I'm using it from Colombia) and that approach worked.

1. Download the ATT rooted ROM

2. Flash it with ODIN

3. Download GalaxSim Unlock (the one from this forum, the Google Play version is priced)

4. Use root permission to unlock the phone (the app handles the backup of the /efs partition where the IMEI info and radios reside)

5. Voila! the phone is unlocked again :)

6. If you want you can flash the Rogers Stock ROM (the phone will not get locked, flashing a ROM doesn't touch the /efs partition)

I doscovered that last part by myself, because nobody told me that flashing a ROM doesn't touch the /efs partition

Now that I have my phone unlocked again, I'm using the ICS Stock rooted ROM, removed all the ATT apps and the phone is runing Android 4.0.4 smoothly.

PD: Seems that ATT removed the option to chose the Network Mode from their ROMS, because in ICS I don't have that option either. Anyway I don't have a data plan, I always use the phone with wifi, from time to time I buy a data package and the phone switches from EDGE to HSDPA+ which causes some slowness when using a data connection.

Hope that helps

[Samsung Captivate Glide] leaffan99:
Im only kidding lol... rooting your phone is a good idea if you need access to everything and changing your ROM etc... if you don't feel you need this or too difficult... downloading something like Go Launcher, Nova Launcher, etc can also change the look of your phone without rooting:)

Eyes-free method of phone rooting

Hello,

Is this guide still valid? Reading it looks like a lot of you rooted gb phones.

My phone started out as AT&T gb, then I went to AT&T ICS last November, which is where it is at now.

I am wanting to root my phone then flash a custom rom on to it, in this case a dev named Spyke555's Cm 10.1 rom.

I've read the original posting and have read all other postings in this forum and am confused, the original post seems a multistep process while I've read others who say flash the LiteKernel 1.0 through CWMR.

I am running the Captivate Glide SGH-i927 - AT&T as I said now running Ics.

I am blind so am wondering if there's an eyes free method to root and flash my phone, perhaps through adb? I've also got physical Windows xp/7 boxes as well as virtual Linux Ubuntu 12.04 machines if I can flash from there. If anyone knows how to flash from Linux in particular I would appreciate knowing about it.

I have looked everywhere but can't find the AT&T stock kernel. Does anyone have a link?

I am interested in having all stock files saved to my computer in case I have to return to factory settings (warranty purposes), or if I need to recover my phone if I brick it.

I'd appreciate any assistance.

Thanks.

Help can't root rogers

Hello Everybody..

First of all I want to thank yohan4ws for sharing the I927R (rogers) rooted room with me...

I followed the instructions to root my phone(odin and stuff), but I haven't been able, when I open SUperSU it says that I need to update, I choose to do it but it sends an error message. Tried a couple of times but it's not working, can somebody help me please? the phone can't be unlocked by mep codes, my only hope is to root it so I can unlock it without codes...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
Roberto, download Es File Explorer, enable the "Root Settings" so that you can browse up to root, if you can view /system and /efs from within es file explorer then your phone is rooted.

If not, then something might be wrong with that rom and I have another that might work.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roberto9992012:
:(

in fact now when I open play store it says no conection though I'm conected to wifi, so I'm not able to install Es file explorer, anyway... before that happens I installed Root checker, and it says the phone is not rooted.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] oppman29:
if someone can upload the i927_factoryfs_rooted_img.tar ( ATT ROM) file and PM me.. it would be great, the link is dead... not sure if this is the latest way to root the phone..searched all over and everything seems to point here.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vjkiller:
doubts or concerns

to those who are having doubts or concerns about rooting the phone, let me tell you:

rooting the phone does not touche the /efs partition where all the info about the imei and radios is stored, so NO, rooting the phone will not lock your phone.

Now if your phone got locked after a while (it happened to me) you can root your phone and install an application that uses root permissions, to unlock your phone again (and believe me it works like a charm).

Once you get used to the process of flashing a different ROM, changing the kernel or that stuff you will find the process really easy.

In every Android phone there is something called recovery mode, what CWMR (ClockWork Mode Recovery) does is that boost your recovery mode so you can flash a ROM or make a a backup for example.

Odin is a software you can use FROM Windows (sadly I haven't found a Linux equivalent) to flash things to your phone too.

With Odin you can Flash ROMs or you can flash CWMR and be ready to go. Just follow the instructions and wonder what everything means and you will find the process really simple.

There is the ATT stock ROM rooted (both GB and ICS) and now someone else uploaded the Rogers stock ROM rooted (GB) so you can choose the android version you want.

Plus you can also download from the internet all the stock ROMs for the captivate in case you don't like root permissions.

just try it and have fun

pd: wish someone else had made that explanation to me before, when I was just starting this :')

Rooted, but not working

I have rooted using the steps outlined in page 1 of this thread, using Odin, and the AT&T pre-rooted .tar ... everything seems fine, except when the phone auto-rebooted, to AT&T Splash, but on setup menu, I got this: "Google Services Framework process.com.google.process.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly, android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly ...Calender Storage ...process.android.providers.calendar has stopped working ..." I can change language, and was even able to check my voice mail from the status bar, and also see the correct time from my provider and the signal strength. Touching the Android icon only brings up the error message again. I did re-install twice this with the same results using Odin, which had said I used one Custom Binary Download, and current binary is Samsung Official. It is in Secure Mode according to Odin, also.

Google process force close

I, too, followed the directions and ended up with the little android guy saying touch him to continue, which I did, and waited quite awhile, and nothing happened. I rebooted and then got the google process force close thing several people mentioned.

My husband is taking the phone to Best Buy to have the factory software reloaded. :(

I really didn't want to root it in the first place, but after a lengthy discussion with tech support at Samsung, it was the only way to remove the new Google apps that Google includes in the build. There are three or four of them, and one is quite insidious as well as takes up quite a bit of RAM. I can't run the apps I want to run because it keeps restarting itself, and if I uninstall the apps, they reinstall themselves after rebooting.

I'm not sure where I went wrong with the instructions. I'm sure I have the right Android OS version 4.04, and I followed the instructions to the letter.

Should I have installed SU first? This article doesn't talk about doing that first, but another topic on this system does: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833579 and the process is different.

Advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I used to be a techie, but it was a very long time ago. I'm sure I must have misunderstood some part of the process.

Need help w/ my Samsung Captivate Glide (AT&T)

First of all, congratulations on your guide, pretty simple step by step guide. Im new around here, and the reason of this post is because i found this little guide, and followed it to root my captivate glide, followed step by step, it loaded the rooted file in odin just fine, said success, phone reeboted, and......... Boom... never started up, it froze on the Samsung logo, left it there like for 10 mins. never started up... Fortunately i did the entire proccess again using overClocked version of it (kernel) that has a link in the guide and saved my phone. Problem is now im under 2.3.5 when my phone had 4.0 (ICS). Is there any way so i can go back to a 4.0 version? Or is there a Custom rom available somewhere with 4.0? Please help me guys... thanks in advance. :good:

Well I hope someone is reading this. Finallly I did it. Thanks for your guide. Unfortunatelly, this all started because I couldn't use tethering. I thought to erase that app and install a new one (as they said in other forum).

No my cel is working with a exclamation sign at the start. Then I go to management apps I found out I the option to unistall app is not working. I install superuser app and changed it to superuser and....nothing.

what did I do wrong?

Well I just found out I downgrade the OS from 4.0.4 to 2.? Is there something newer?

Thanks again;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Adam77Root:
That is because you flashed an insecure kernel. I've just taken a look at the OP and I'm shocked! This is a very outdated process! How can this still be stickied? Flashing insecure kernels increases the download count and displays the yellow triangle at boot.

Normal rooting procedure without messing with binary counter would be the following:

Get Odin v1.85 or v3.07 and flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). You need an Odin-flashable tar package of the recovery.

Reboot into recovery and flash Superuser or SuperSU.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] bbqbrisket:
Great!.. I will start working on it right now.

When you mean boot into recovery, are you talking about just doing a restart of the unit or something different.

On my older phone, I used a combo of power plus "t". this does not seem to work that way.

Also, when you say "flash" are you talking about moving it onto the sd card?

And last, related to previous, I notice when I go into download mode, while the sd card shows up, it does not allow me to open it. Is that how it's suppose to work?

Hope that's not too many questions.

Thanks for you help
