I will see what I can do. I don't have a Captivate. I have a Vibrant. But I have sent a request to kirbo20 to send me his file. If I get it I will add it to the app.
[Captivate Android Development] decepticon:
I will pull mine and post it here in a few
[Captivate Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
is your file the original?
[Captivate Android Development] decepticon:
It's edited to enable non-market apps
[Captivate Android Development] wakeupkeo:
This is awesome, I have been waiting for this!

I am having a problem though, I have gotten to the "press the One Root Button" step. The green shell screen says it can't load the update onto my sd card, so when I re-install packages, it can't find the zip file. It does reboot the phone though and it is set on debug, is there a step I missed? I do have another 8g speed6 sd card I put in the empty slot, could that be messing it up?
[Captivate Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Well sounds like your drivers maybe not set up right. go to start then run and open up prompt by typing cmd and see if "adb devices" runs and sees your device.
[Captivate Android Development] wakeupkeo:
Ah, I just did it manually. Easy. Thanks for the motivation though.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Awesome work. I'll probably wait for the updated version with the "Unroot" option, but very cool nonetheless!

Here is my settings.db file. Some have speculated that it varies some from phone to phone so may need some testing.

One Click Root/UnRoot won't work with on I897UCJI6 - FROYO

Used One Click Root to root my Captivate when It had Android 2.1 Eclair.

Worked Great!

Just updated Rom to: I897UCJI6 - FROYO and now One Click Root won't work.

I get an error:

Finding update package...

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Any Ideas?

Backups

Not sure if this was discussed but, how do i go about backing up my stock rom?

i am a noob when it comes to rooting.

thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] laxwillsch:
Hey what process did you use to root i am on a mac so odin is out and i have been messing with abd on the mac for like twenty hours and still have no idea what I am doing i cant even connect adb to my device
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
you are still running stock ROM, just rooted. If you want to go back to original just use unroot...and ur back to original. you don't need to back up ur rom unless you are flashing new one.
[Captivate Android Development] killer23d:
This doesn't work on 2.2. Either you use Cognition or do a kernel swap with jf6
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
It depends what you mean regarding the backup. If you just want the ROM back after flashing other roms - there is the one-click Odin3. If you want to configure all your stuff and then make a backup (think of a system image at that day and time) then use Rom manager.

If you go the Froyo route and want to go back, you would still have to do a one-click odin3 restore to get 2.1 back on your phone, install Rom manager, then re-install your backed-up ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] techbeck:

Question about unroot

I have my samsung captivate rooted, just using the normal, drag the update.zip file on to phone reinstall packages method, I am looking to unroot, and it says that i should not unroot if my rom has links to busybox. How would i check, i do not believe I have flashed any roms on my phone. Is it okay to go ahead with the unroot? Thank you, and sorry for the noob question.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
if you have rooted your stock 2.1 eclair and haven't flashed any of the custom ROM then you are safe. As ONLY rooting stock will not create links to busybox.

Still if you are unsure...then use ODIN to go back to stock. But remember ODIN will wipe out all your data so back up!

I'm a bit confused. How can we get back to stock un-rooted using Clockwork Recovery/ROM Manager when the ROM you back up is ALWAYS a rooted one (if the ROM you are running is not rooted, then how can you install Clockwork Recovery?). I'm not talking about going back to stock using ODIN 3. I'm talking about the last line above!
[Captivate Android Development] captiv8er:
Use rom manager to return to stock rooted, then oclf to unroot

Not Working On Latest Captivate

I just exchanged my old Captivate for a new one this evening and One Click Root is not working. The phone does not reboot after running "AT&T Captivate One-Click Root.exe" and clicking "One-click root". USB Is in debug mode.

Please advise.
[Captivate Android Development] unexpectedly:
I just got my Captivate this evening and the three button recovery mode didn't work for me either. This one-click tool literally was one click. FAR easier than when I jailbroke my ipown. Now to get all my contacts........

[Captivate Android Development] Skullpuck:
I've tried for over 2 hours now and this will not work for me.

It will not push the update.zip to my phone and my phone does not restart.

I have followed the instructions in the OP to a T.

I am using a Samsung Vibrant so I cross-referenced the instructions found on the Unlockr site. Same instructions just using the Vibrant One Click. (Tried the Galaxy S one click with the same results.)

I've turned on USB Debugging. I plug my USB cable in. I run the application.

I click on One-Click Root and the shell runs. It says my phone should be rebooting but nothing happens on my phone. Nothing gets copied and the phone does not reboot.

I have noticed that every time I plug in my USB cable my phone defaults to mounting the SD card. I have to turn that off manually. It's never done that before. However, even after turning off mounting it still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I looked in this thread more and people have been posting about ADB. I've checked this in my Device Manager and I have "ADB Interface" listed there with no ! on it. It says it's working properly.
[Captivate Android Development] unexpectedly:
You have to go into settings / applications / develop and select usb debugging mode.

Not working for the Rogers version of the captivate. I just got mine today and tried to update and kept getting the error 7. I suspect its looking for the i897 and Rogers version is an i896. Any advice?
[Captivate Android Development] :
This one worked like a charm for my brand new Captivate!!!

However I noticed that after rooted my phone, my Internal phone storage memory is cut by half!!! After I unrooted my phone, it went back to normal.

So my question is if this is normal, because about 800mb is lost and my phone did not have enough memory for lag fix and other apps.

Thanks for answering. :D

Good day.

Captivate root

Hey guys... I found a great way to root my captivate without even having to use the computer! :)

I used the "OCLF" (one click lag fix) app from the market... you don't actually have to do the lag fix, but it comes with a root in it... it really was a one click, just had to select my phone from the Galaxy S models, and then rooted. Piece of cake.

Not sure if it will work on the Rogers Captivate.. but I'm not sure why it wouldn't...
[Captivate Android Development] :
I wish it was this easy

I get an error message saying something something I897

my phone is with rogers and it's I896

maybe that's the thing which is restricting me rooting :( :(

One Click w/Froyo?

Does this work w/Froyo? I did the "leaked" update last week. When I try the "one-click root", I see something like "finding update.zip.....opening update.zip....verifying update.zip"...... then a message saying that it "failed" - something about an 'invalid e-signature" (or something to that effect).

any ideas??

please heeeeelp

I have upgraded my captivate to I9000_Model_Froyo_version22 using Odin3_v1.3.2 and the update done well .

A Had orientation problems so I downloaded reorientation root from ([kernel] I9000 Eclair kernel reoriented v1.3 09.21.2010) post and used GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Models to enter recovery mode with this update.zip.

But now I can't go out recovery mode volume up and down works to select elements but power button not firing any event so I can't even reboot the device in a normal working mode .

I have removed the battery and returned it but it returns to recovery mode .

Please heeeeeeeeeeelp.
[Captivate Android Development] laxwillsch:
I have heard of people having this problem. What I would do is get your phone into download mode, the mode where the screen shows the shoveling droid, using either the pull the battery, sim and external sd then putting your battery back in and holding volume up and down at the same time and plug in usb while continuing to hold volume buttons method or adb method. You may need to hold just volume down(because it is a 1900 rom). Then use the odin one click to go back to stock. It sounds like you are having a kernal problem. If you want to reflash read up on the proper way especially if you are trying to use the i1900 roms.

Hope this helps

Driver troubles

Okay, I want to restart. How can I remove all of the drivers I could have installed already? I can't the drivers to work correctly, phone doesn't connect properly to PC.
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Thank you for this. Worked flawlessly on JH7.

I downloaded the 64-bit drivers from Odin's thread, turned on USB debugging, plugged it into the computer, then manually browsed to the Samsung drivers folder and it worked a treat. One click unroot and now I just backed up my phone with Titanium and I'm going to do a Clockwork Mod backup just in case as well and start playing with ROMs.

I have to say... coming from the Evo... this phone is a dream... Battery on STOCK went 1 day, 2 hours, and that included 3 hours worth of phone calls. My Evo NEVER did that.

The pentile display is annoying though. My Evo looks much crisper at the same resolution on a bigger screen... but the frame rate of this thing on STOCK ... Quadrant... *drool* Holy ****. Now if I can figure out why the Droid X and even the Nexus One 2.2 post higher scores... I'm cancelling my Sprint tomorrow - then tossing them in my bankruptcy.'

Plus I dropped the phone twice today and there isn't a scratch on it... Samsung really went all out with this phone. I just wish the camera had a flash.

[Captivate Android Development] mkhopper:
Didn't see any other post about this.

I don't know if this was truly an issue, but I had quite a few issues rooting a friend's Captivate using the one-click method using a Mac.

Downloaded the app and ran it, it would say that it was transferring update.zip to the phone, but upon an error after rebooting, we would find that the file really hadn't been copied over.

Using adb, I did confirm that the Mac could "see" the device, so that seemed ok. After trying a few times and almost giving up, we decided to try placing the rooting app into the same directory as the adb program. Then it worked perfectly.

I don't know for sure if that had anything to do with it, but there you go.

quick question about rooting -- if I root my captivate, and at&t pushes out the froyo update, how does my phone respond? I've heard that it will see me as ineligible. would rooting make me ineligible, or would flashing a different rom (other than stock) make me ineligible? and if i can't update when they push it out, can i unroot and be fine, or did i miss the boat?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] markmensch:
This skull-n-crossbones is fine. It works for me. When i installed UnleashTheBeastV0.2, it overwrote with the ninja icon (newer version SU?) AND it stopped working.

[Captivate Android Development] markmensch:
I hope someone more informed than me replies to you, but even if you DO miss the boat, I assume there will be a newer FROYO for Galaxy/Captivate leak, and we can use that. or better yet, someone WAY more informed than me can re-releases ATTs Galaxy Froyo with all the ATT garbage pulled out.

Seriously, ATT gums up their smart phones (both WinMo and Android) with so much garbage, they're useless until you clean it all out. For all my friends and relatives unwilling to root/hack/update custom ROMs, I'm recommending they DON"T BUY A SmartPhone FROM ATT!

No Superuser Permission App

Hi,

So I followed the instructions for the One Click Root/UnRoot. Everything seems to work fine, in terms of booting into the recovery mode and selecting the update file. After the phone reboots, however, I do not see the Superuser Permissions app with ninja icon in my Applications area. If I browse my internal SD card in System/Apps, I do see a SuperUser.apk file. However, clicking on that shows me the message "Install blocked: For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market." So it appears that rooting worked, but I don't have permission to execute SU. If I use the Terminal Emulator and type "su", the prompt sits there for 10 seconds and says "permission denied". Any ideas on what could be preventing me from gaining superuser access?
[Captivate Android Development] benji1304:

I just got my captivate and wanted to load some applications not in the Captivate marketplace, and I also wanted to Tether.

I was told by a "phone guru" that to do this I would need to root the phone. Instead of doing research as I should have done, I rooted the phone, then I found out that between the Android side-load program and Easy-tether there is no need to root to do what I want to so.

Is there a way to un root the phone and get it back to stock as everything I want to do I can do without it being rooted?

I cannot include links to the process till I have 8 posts but if anyone wishes to PM me I will provide as much information as I have
