Now for a dummy question. Since I rooted, I cannot seem to connect to the AT&T server. That has continued now that I am unrooted. Is this normal if there is no update available or do I still have a problem?

Thanks

One Click Root and Captivate?

Post 201 is my situation too. I cannot find anyone replying to that post.

I get the "One Click banner" with "One Click Root" & "One Click Unroot" depicted.

Activating the "Root" button and I get the "Unhandled exception....................JIT debugging etc. "Debug" is checked on my I897 Samsung Captivate (eclair, UCJH7) , also "Mass Storage" checked.

My Captivate simply is not going into the next step...................

Rooting will not erase your installed apps and widget. Flashing to an alternative ROM will.

There are many factors. Can you specify the steps you did?

I was able follow the instructions (along with watching the video) without issue all the way thru to connecting my phone (Captivate) to the USB cable. When I did, my phone prompted me saying "USB connected: Select to copy files to/from your computer." I did that and a window pops up on my phone asking me to select "Mount" if you want to copy files, blah, blah, blah. I select "Mount" then the phone tells me to "Turn off USB Storage". I click on the "Turn Off" button and then it just repeats itself like I didn't do anything. Any ideas???
[Captivate Android Development] Picard_8525:
You are NOT to mount when rooting. You phone should be in the USB debugging mode with the red triangle on the status bar and that's it.

Very Frustrated

All,

I've read this entire thread front to back and I still can't get my Captivate rooted. I'm having the same problem as almost everyone in this thread regarding the message that appears after the One Click Button is pushed. It says the file couldn't be opened in the /sd folder.

I just purchased my Captivate and it's running Firmware 2.1-update1 and is a Baseband Version I897UCJH7.

Is there ANYONE that knows for sure what the problem is? It appears there are a bunch of us having the same problem with no answers.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. :(

ETA: NM, got it...I went in to the batch file and ran the adb commands from the cmd prompt and it went fine. Not sure why it wouldn't work from the .EXE.

This isn't working for me....

I'm on Win 7 and I have installed the Samsung drivers and Net 4.0.

I have a Captivate 1007.

I run the one-click update, I get the command window, and the phone does nothing.

The phone is in USB debugging.

I have reviewed several procedures, and none of them work.

Any ideas?

Are you, or are you not supposed to copy root.zip to the phone and rename to update.zip? I've seen procedures that do it both ways.

Are you supposed to have the storage mounted or not? Again, I've seen both ways.

Thanks for any help
[Captivate Android Development] KristopherRiv:
For some reason this will not copy the file to my SDCard and i have it mounted and everything can anyone help ?
[Captivate Android Development] msinkovich:
OK...this is what I did..

I was able to have the program reboot the phone but I got the update.zip not found...

I renamed the root.zip to update.zip and put that is the main folder of the phone's files. I went through and had the program reboot the phone into recovery and followed the directions from there.

I am going to assume that the same is true for un-rooting Just rename the unroot.zip to update.zip.
[Captivate Android Development] Picard_8525:
If you are using the one-click program, you don't need to mount. Just set the phone to USB debugging.

fails to load update.zip file error

this is the first time ive used a one click and i get an error that no files are copied? I tried using the 2.1 2.2 version and I get an exception error. .net 4 is loaded on my x64 windows box any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
This is exactly what I did, it worked perfectly.

You do have to mount the SD card. Here's the procedure:

Be sure you're in USB Debugging mode.

Attach USB cable.

Slide down the notifications bar and select "select to copy files to/from your computer".

Then select "Mount USB"

Via Explorer, drag root.zip to internal sd card and rename it to update.zip (the program is supposed to do this step when you click One Click Root, try that first - but it didn't work for me, thus the manual drag and rename)

Click on Galaxy_One_Click_Root.exe, then 'one click root'

Phone will be rebooted into Recovery mode

Scroll down to highlight "Reinstall packages"

Click the power button to select and perform that action

Phone will root

[Captivate Android Development] robert_maples:
Does this Delete all the stuff on your phone? ie apps, pics, contacts, and such
[Captivate Android Development] DumIam:
No, it doesn't delete those things. Once you've rooted your phone, download an app like Titanium Backup (one of many available) to quickly back up and restore your apps. I personally sync all my contacts thru Google so after I flash a new rom my contacts with pics are all restored once I sign back in to my Google account.

what about us Linux users? Is there a manual procedure to do what that one click does? I don't have money to buy Microsoft license to run Windows and I hate apple.

So, what choice am I left with?
[Captivate Android Development] devsk:
Never mind! I just looked at the rootme.bat and am on my way.

There is nothing much to it. You just need to push the root.zip as /sdcard/update.zip using latest adb and reboot to recovery, and flash the update.zip by selecting "reinstall packages".

I used Odin to flash back to stock and installed the new stock Froyo from AT&T. Mistake. For some reason I cannot re-root as I used the Galaxy S One Click and when going to Reinstall Packages an error comes up about an unsigned file or something. I have searched but didn't find anything.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] scottyjchef:
I don't think that's it. The error is: Signature verification failed, installation aborted. In fact, I can't even boot into recovery with any combination of buttons, but it will do fine through one click but I get the error message.

[Captivate Android Development] p1gnone:
Helping a friend with a refurb I hit the same barrier: rejected signature in the update.zip[root]. So AT&T has added an impediment to the process..

Resolution: Use "adb reboot download" to get into download mode if buttons resist this, or buy the amazing jig.

Odin3 1.3 one click back to stock. That's right flashing from stock 2.1 to stock 2.1.. The flashed rom 2,1 version did not have the blockage..

[Captivate Android Development] Caebron:
I guess I kinda jumped the gun in my previous post... although the phone IS rooted, I still can't flash any ROMs - I am still getting the same error message. The reason i know it is rooted is because Titanium backup and ROM manager work fine now.

"adb reboot download"? "amazing jig"?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Just because you are rooted doesnt mean you can flash custom roms. Read up on adb. The jig is a tool to force dl mode. I would really do some research before going any further. From your post it doesn't seem like you know excatly what your doing and you should before attempting to mod your phone which could lead you to a brick and needing to buy a new one.
[Captivate Android Development] p1gnone:
So does the phone go into the "Download Mode"?

"adb reboot download"

When connected to a PC, and have enabled USB debugging mode [in Settings, Applications, Development] then connect by USB, and in a command window type the adb command. If you do not have the adb.exe command then look around here. There are multiple threads with it linked for this tiny file and a couple of supporting dll's.

"jig"

MobileTechVideos product for sale. He has youtube videos showing its use and on a similarly named website you can order one.

I spent a nervous weekend "soft bricked" waiting for mine to arrive by mail. As it was my first time I thought I had ruined my phone. "amazing"? Because it works so well. Made ODIN flashes, ROMs, and kernels easy.
[Captivate Android Development] Caebron:
You are absolutely correct... Thanks for the advice, I will do some further research before continuing.

Hello, I recently rooted, ROM'd, and overclocked my Sidekick 4g and got great results. I'm trying to root my friends Captivate, but seem to come across the same E: Signature Verification Failed problem that I've seen in previous posts.

I've searched this forum for different ways to root this phone, but since I used OneClickRoot for my SK4G, I would like to use it for this phone too. The instructions in this thread don't say anything about putting an update.zip on the SD card, is that necessary? If so, where do I get it? Or if not, what problem is preventing me to OneClickRoot this device? Thanks.

I'm having problems flashing my phone. This is my 3rd phone, and rooting/flashing my previous 2 phone has always been very easy. I've rooted the phone and installed ROM manager, but I can't get to the recovery screen by holding the power button. When I hold power, it just gives me the normal options. Is there any other ways to get to the red recovery screen so I can flash a new ROM?

I tried to get to the red recovery thru ROM Manager, but it takes me to a different recovery screen.

When I was on the official Froyo 2.2 i897UCKB1 (I see ur on KB2), the only way I was able to get Root was through this...View attachment SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse.zip

Download/ extract the file/ open file/ right click and run as adminstrator the "SuperOneClick"/ go to phone Settings/ Applications/ Usb settings/ and select Mass storage/ back out of that and then select Development/ and put a check in the box of USB debugging/ Home/and then connect ur phone to the computer and then tap ROOT.

flash a kernel with odin

Do I do download odin to my pc or on the captivate? What does flash a kernel mean? Will odin have this cwm? Thank you.:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] dawgdoc:
Odin is a program used from your PC, it only works with Windows.

If you have a Linux laptop or a Mac, Heimdall will perform the same functions.

Flashing a kernel is using Odin to load/install it into your phone. Flashing also refers to to loading special types of zip files from custom recoveries.

Odin does not have CWM, which is a type of custom recovery. You use Odin to flash a kernel that has CWM Recovery built into the it.
