Thanks mate, I checked my drivers and it turns out that the adb was not being used properly. I fixed that, and my phone is now successfully rooted. Thanks!

Hey guys I am new to rooting and I want to find out some info. I want to try this method but I want to know if once I backup my stock rom and I were to use say Unleash The Beast after that, would I be able to reverse the process if I need to for any reason whatsoever? Thanks in advance guys. Also any good roms that you can recommend?

deleted update.zip

noob question.. I successfully rooted my phone using this method and after everything was completed, I deleted the update.zip file from my internal sdcard. Will this cause any issues if I want to play with ROMs later? My phone works just fine.

I installed ROM Manager and did a successful backup as well. But if I want to do a restore for some reason, I get no option to select now since update.zip is deleted. Can someone help me understand if this is an issue?
[Captivate Android Development] Lunged:
Where can I download the update.zip file? Thats all I want, people! I can't find it even after a few forum searches...

Thanks.

For the record, I had to revert to the stock firmware, so I am trying to get back up and running. The one-click won't copy the file to my phone, like some others.

I can't even get the Mac version to open. Back to the standard style of rooting.
[Captivate Android Development] 69Pwned:
Was too easy, Thanks ....... :D
[Captivate Android Development] Kanzeon:
Didn't work either

I get the superuser app. Nothing that requires rooting will recognize the device as rooted. This is the third method I've tried, with the same result.:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
@kanzeon - Do you have mac or windows? What I did was open the contaning folder (I have a mac) and removed the root2.1.zip file, and just did it manually since the program wouldn't work for me.

What isn't working for you?
[Captivate Android Development] taltal13:
Also problem w mac

so I downloaded the Mac one click

plugged in phone - Debugging is on....mounted th sd card, ejected both drives (named NONAME) then turned off the SD card

double clicked on one click root - it says select update.zip and select w power button. Phone goes into system recovery. I don't see update.zip so I just hit reinstall packages and it says it doesnt find update.zip

Please help!!!

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
Make sure debugging is on, then don't even mount the drives. try running the program then. If that doesn't work, I have something else for you try.
[Captivate Android Development] Kanzeon:
I've used this method, and placed update.zip directly on the root. I get the superuser app, with the little ninja (I've seen two different versions of the app on my phone now). However, if I run any program that requires root, the program will try to acquire root access, and fail. I have usb debugging on.
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
Did you change the 2.1 to update.zip? Make sure it is the 2.1 and not the 2.2

I sounds like it didn't fully install. I'd delete super user and try it again.
[Captivate Android Development] Kanzeon:
I've installed the superuser program from the pimp my captivate thread and the one click rooting thread - both at least three times.

The one from the pimp thread crashes when I click on it. The other version will allow me to go to settings, but will crash when I click on log.

UPDATE: Somehow one of these versions was corrupted. I cleared the cache, unrooted the device with one-click, and rerooted it. FINALLY. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] slay3r85:
Worked like a charm with my Bell Canadian Vibrant (GT-I9000M)! Thanks you!

Just a side note, on my phone i had to press Home button instead of power button to apply the update.zip.
[Captivate Android Development] chanceitup:
Not sure if I'm oblivious to this or what...

I'm using the One Click for Mac with the Samsung Captivate

I make sure debugging is checked.

I plug my phone in, nothing comes up though for drives, I then mount them in the notifications area of the phone. The drives then come up on my computer, I eject them.

I go to the notifications area and turn USB off.

I click root 2.1 and it goes through its thing, the meanwhile, my phone just sits there doing nothing.

Help?

How to unroot if it doesnt send or automate the process when clicking on the option?

I have droid explorer can install apks and I can mount the phone to the pc.

The issue I'm having is that now I can not unroot.

Was reading another forum and they mentioned that I would just have to the delete the su app, busybox app and pretty much anything else rooting installed and that's it.

Can anyone please chime in?

Rooting my Captivate

I'm trying to root my Captivate and I'm not sure where I've gone wrong.

I installed the correct Samsung drivers, switched it to debugging mode, downloaded and extracted the One-Click and now I'm at the point where I click the 'One Click Root' button.

I click it and it brings up the blue Command Prompt box that tells me my device is now rebooting into Recovery Mode, but my Captivate isn't doing anything of the sort.

I have the red triangle exclamation mark at the top of the screen letting me know I'm in debugging mode but aside from that everything is the same.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

**edit:** I wanted to mention I did see the earlier post where somebody had the same situation where there Captivate wasn't responding, but I have checked my device manager and ADB Interface lists my SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface fine without any exclamation marks.

NOOBE to Captivate rooting

Hello All,

Tomorrow I will be getting my new phone Captivate (AT&T) and I would like to root it, I have read the whole thread and one other one, I have read that there is two different ways to do this it seams, one is copying update.zip to internal sdcard/ (root of phone) and the other is using this program one-click-to-root/unroot. I would love to use the simplest way to do this, I am usingt ubuntu and don't know which app or what to do on Ubuntu to root the phone.

If connecting the phone and telling phone to act like storage device is best way in linux then I will do so but is there a new update.zip with the latest tools inside that I would hold the power and u/d volums and then let go of the power once I see the start screen???

Thanks for your assacctance!

God Bless,

Chrisotpher

I rooted my phone on Mac on Sat. Long story short I am unrooted now again but will be rerooting soon. Is it recommended to delete the one click program I have and install the newer version? What is different in the new version that I should be aware of?
[Captivate Android Development] Irish01:
im using the mac version with 10.6.4

im tryng to root it and it says push complete and that my phone is now in recovery mode, which it is but when i click reinstall packages i get an error saying that the sdcard/update.zip cannot be found or opened

i can put the update.zip into the root folder on my own but then i cant seem to get it to boot into recovery mode using the push volume buttons and power button method it just reboots as normal constantly. when i use the one click app it will go to recovery mode but it says the file cant be found

any ideas?

Help.

I rooted my Samsung Captivate and it worked perfectly, but now I am not able to access my phone SD cards from my computer. I mount the phone and it shows as connected, but the SD cards do not show as storage drives on my computer. I even tried to unroot the Captivate and it still does not work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] iRetard:
I don't have the Captivate yet, but I plan on it in a week or two. I was wondering if I could root my captivate, delete bloatware, and then unroot it? I don't really want to root my phone, however i'm starting to wonder how bad my OCD is going to be when I see all of the useless ATT bloatware on the shiny new toy :/
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Go to Settings --Applications--USB Settings and make sure your phone is set to mass storage not Samsung Kies, then in the same menu make sure your still in debugging mode. Now when you plug your phone into the usb cable and to your computer you should here a sound from your pc letting you know it is connected. Then pull down the tab from the top of the screen and click on the notification that your phone is conected to your pc, click on that and mount to your computer. You should be able to then click on the start tab of your pc and then click on computer and your device should show as two drives if you have and external sd card inserted, one if you do not.

Try powering your phone off for about 5 seconds and start it back up. Then proceed with my suggestion above. This usually works for me. Maybe your drivers need to reinstall when you plug your phone in it should detect it and search for the drivers, if your pc does this wait for it to finish installing the drivers before you proceed.

Good Luck.

[SOLVED]

Tried this on my SGS i9000 with jp3 rom but...

1. My phone rebooted into the "Android system recovery <3e>" console and everything went well up to "install default apk-files finished", but then I couldn't find the option to "reinstall packages";

2. When I tried applying option "apply sdcard:update.zip" it scrolled the following lines:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

When I rebooted, phone stuck at the initial big S, vibrating every now and then until I removed the battery.

What did I do wrong? Did I misunderstand the instructions and this wasn't fit for my kind of phone? Any help appreciated. :confused:

EDIT: After finding people here => _

here at the forum where it is said that "This has been tested on stock Android 2.1 Eclair and 2.2 Froyo JP2 not JP3"... Still stuck though. :(

EDIT: Solved by a) entering recovery mode (boot with Vol. Up+Home+Power buttons) and b) doing a factory reset that erased everything on the phone. Then and since I had a clean phone, decided to flash to JPC using the info on this thread => _

Question, please help

I have my Samsung Captivate rooted, and i am looking for a unroot, and this seems simple enough, but i am not sure what it means when it says that you should not do this if you have a rom with links to busybox. I do not have any custom roms on my phone, the only root application i have is titanuim backup. Can someone please advise me on weather or not it is safe to go ahead with the unroot?
[Captivate Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
you said it yourself. you don't have a rom installed. so yes you're safe to run unroot.

I am looking to root just to delete the ATT bloatware and then unroot it. I just got the phone yesterday and I just wanted to make sure.

I had a previous phone and flashed the SRE rom when i got the captivate and it worked great for about a few hours then started on looped rebooting, and then just froze every time media checker finished running on wakeup. I was lucky and ATT replaced the phone with a new one and i don't want to mess this one up.

and

Build Number:

Now after I unrooted it I did a Factory Data Reset.. So the Rom Manager that I downloaded was gone.. How do I get rid of the Kernel Version and Build Number under Settings>About Phone

Help with Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root

So I tried running Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root and I keep getting to the verifying update package:

E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I'm running

OSX 10.6.4

Connected the USB cable to the phone

Mounted phone

Ran Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root

Tried selecting "apply sdcard:update.zip"

then got the error that the file was not found.

Is there any way to manually copying that update.zip file to the phone and reboot it? Where can I get the update file?

Thanks

I'm getting the exact same results. There is a green window that pops up before the blue window (the one that says it's pushing the file) and I can see that it says it failed to push the file but it flashes by too fast and I can't read why it can't push the file.

I did the OTA update last night (i have never been rooted). Could that have something to do with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I'm running Windows Vista by the way.
