Im having some issues...

I had to restore to the base image .. again after trying out the i9000 ROM, and now when I run your update.zip from here it only roots the phone.

Nothing else is done.

I have tried running this twice in a row. Let me know what I am doing wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] Berserk87:
pretty cool. :)
[Captivate Android Development] rsohne:
One thing to note is if you are running the lagfix or intend to it will not work with the newest version of busybox. You will have to revert back to 1.17.
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
Awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing some buglessbeast on our Captivate!!

You might want to see if you can get this update.zip added to ROM Manager

Good job, flashing now to see if it effects anything else on my phone
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
One comment. Busybox 1.18 removes a lot of commands, and those of us that want to use the ext2 lagfix have to revert to the more capable 1.17.1. I'd recommmend that you include 1.17.1 in this file instead of 1.18, until a better version of busybox is released.
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
Update:

Just Flashed Via ClockworkMod Recovery, After Reboot the ATT Startup animation, and sound were still there.

It also did not remove My Files or Google maps, leading me to believe it didn't work.

in clockwork it ran through the updatezip and had said it install successfully

Update2:

Ran through it again, and it said it successfully but did not apply any changes to my current ROM

Update:

Ran in normal recovery and it has seemed to work fine.. I wonder if this is a problem with your update.zip or with clockworkmod recovery
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
x2 on the ext2 fix

I am watching this thread with much anticipation...

Also, since you can remove the AT&T startup screen, does that mean we can put in a custom startup screen? :think:
[Captivate Android Development] bigfan2232:
I have a silly question. Will this update erase any of my settings ,applications (apps not listed in the first post), and internal memory?

Thanks Guys!
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
Just out of curiosity, what blocks the ads within the browser and apps? Is it just a host file with blacklisted sites? (kind of like adblock). I've already done much of what Unleash The Beast will do except for the ad blocker.

@Bigfan - I would not expect this to erase any of your settings or other applications because it just applies the root and removes bloatware, but like everyone always warns... there is the potential for it messing something up or erasing data.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I'm going to be following this thread with much anticipation. Keep up the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
No not yet. I may be able to create a script to do so. I will look into it.

I'm on it captain, thanks for the tip :D

Nope, no settings will be lost.

Only one way to find out, ill give it a go when I get a moment.

Correct, just replaces a hosts file. You can still run it with no ill effect even if you have done most of it already.
[Captivate Android Development] nathon.fuller:
Thanks for this. I really like being able to easily get rid of all the att crap that is on my phone.

It would be real nice to have it enable side loading apps as well. but thats still an easy fix.
[Captivate Android Development] BuglessPete:
Anyone have a download link to busybox v1.17.1? I seem to have lost it :(
[Captivate Android Development] startngate:
Awesome work. Will try it tonight.

One quick question. Does it allow you to select which of the listed items it removes? If not, would be a good feature to add. The restore tool will be great too, just in case someone needs to return their phone.
[Captivate Android Development] kzakaria:
It did the job even on the new I897UCJH2 rom. Excellent work! Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Sanduneboi:
this thing seems to have sped up my phone. Love it. Only issue I'm having is the tether app isn't working.

Any way to get the wireless tethering to work?
[Captivate Android Development] Uppsala9496:
There are some posts in this thread about how to get tethering working. I posted about it earlier. Works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] razerbeans:
Worked like a charm on an already rooted Captivate. :D

EDIT: Only one caveat, though. When trying to use super user permissions, su would freeze and require a force quit. Fixed it by downloading it off the market.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
Can't see wifi tether

Hi, I'm really new to this and I can't figure out how to use wifi tether.

I got the wifi tether to work and it starts to tether but no devices pick up on it.

anyway to make it work?
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
This is exactly what mine is doing also. Is there a way to fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] Uppsala9496:
What type of device are you using? What method (bluetooth or usb)?

I use bluetooth to connect to my netbook with no issues.

See posts ~142 for details.

"I also ran into the tether issue people noted before. Simply followed the advice of others and went to code.google.com / p/ android-wifi-tether /wiki /FAQ

to grab the wireless_tehter_2_0_5-pre8.apk file. Used the QR code since it made life a little easier."

Once I have bluetooth on both devices (tethering turned on - netbook is a windows XP machine), I right click on wireless networks -> view available.

This now shows "Android Tether" as a network. I simply click "Connect".

Windows then connects.

I do leave my wireless antenna 'on' on my netbook even though I am connecting via bluetooth.

EDIT: Under the settings in wireless tethering, I DO NOT have "use bluetooth (bluetooth PAN tether instead of wifi)" enabled. I have no idea why I have to do this, but it works even when I am far from any available wireless networks.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
Thanks. I'm using laptops and desktops to try to set up tether. my captivate won't connect via bluetooth to any comps either just says "paired but not connected"

Sry for being so noob.

EDIT:I downloaded and installed the latest version from dev site and it's working out. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:

Q: What is the name of the APK for AT&T Mobile TV?

I installed UTB, but I'd like (only) AT&T Mobile TV.

Hi:

I read in the one click uninstall tool that you CAN use it to unroot even if you use another method to root.

Hope this helps.

[Captivate Android Development] mindfrost82:
Yes it does.
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
Please remove the following lines from the updater script:

ui_print("Removing My Files App...");

delete_recursive("/system/app/MyFiles.apk");

delete_recursive("/system/app/MyFiles.odex");

removing myfiles causes the email app to FC when attaching a file.

Just installed. Nice work, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] toawkanavngthded:
i did the one click root mac and wanna do utb... do i just dl the file rename to update.zip and replace the existing update.zip on my internal sd? if so i did that and tried getting into recovery mode but no go... if i have my usb plugged into my mac and power off and then hold power, up, down, nothing happens... it shows my battery charging... no recovery mode.... any suggestions??? just bought my captivate a couple hours ago
[Captivate Android Development] Uppsala9496:
UNplug from your computer before you attempt to go into recovery mode.

Yes - you just rename UTB to update.zip as noted in the instructions in the original post.

Installation Instructions:

1. Download unleashthebeastv0.2.zip

2. Rename to update.zip

3. Place on sdcard (the built in card, not the removable)

4. Boot into recovery mode

(shut off phone, then hold power, volume up, & volume down at the same time)

5. Select "Reinstall Packages"

6. Enjoy, you have now Unleashed The Beast!

Side-loading Instructions:

1. Open a terminal (you can download "Android Terminal Emulator" in the market)

2. Type in: su

3. Type in: sideloading

4. Your phone will reboot and sideloading will be enabled!
[Captivate Android Development] toawkanavngthded:
thank u for ur response! So I need to do it in that exact order? I mean I was doing it that order but had my phone plugged in and no go. I was wondering if I had to do it in that exact order cuz. I woke up an just wanted to try again. Since I have the zip file already I just tried it from waking up. I shut down and then pressed and held power up and down and then att world phone pops up and keeps flashing when I hold the 3 buttons together. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I need to follow the exact steps. I am rooted cuz I do see super user exreme or whatever in my applications menu. Ahhh I'm frustrated cuz I've been reading everything and when I finally got my captivate no go... =( am I just stupid? LOL
[Captivate Android Development] Uppsala9496:
Do it in that exact order. Make sure you only have 1 update.zip on your internal sd card (phone). If you already have one there, rename it to something like oldupdate.zip.

I would suggest you install clockwork recovery first and run a backup to be safe.

Then follow everything in order - make sure your phone is NOT connected to your computer.
[Captivate Android Development] toawkanavngthded:
thank you for ur response! i believe though i have a bad lemon cuz i am unable to boot into recovery mode.... ive tried everyway and no go. and i read about shutting down phone and holding the vol up and down and plugging in usb and i should get an android icon holding a shovel or something but i get the battery icon. so i dont think my handset can do recovery mode. does that sound right? im planning to go to at&t and swapping out for a new one. but what can i say so that they can switch my phone to make sure i can boot into recovery mode? i guess tell them that all phones should do so? or that im a dev and need this option? if so i will make sure when i walk out of the at&t store that it will be able to boot into recovery mode :D

[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
Hi:

I couldn't find the answer to this question in the thread. I too was wondering what will happen when Froyo comes out. Will UTB still work? If not, will it be updated to work with 2.2?

Thanks so much!
[Captivate Android Development] toawkanavngthded:
is it possible to boot into recovery mode via rom manager? cuz i am unable to do 3 button combo. i tried doing it but i still get an error saying cannot find sd card or whatever... am i doing something wrong??

Help

I applied this to my friends captivate and all went well, except now her phone has random reboots. Not sure what wrong. Is there a way to revert this back to stock without odin? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I am honestly surprised people are still loading this as it is outdated, and the OP has not even been on the site since middle of August.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Well, it still works!
[Captivate Android Development] alme1304:
So I.tried flashing jh7 and then the sre mod, for some reason that didn't work and flashed back to stock and ran UTB, and now for some reason google reader and google mobile don't work right, any chance that the host file could if blocked the wrong connection?

Also, when I checked the mobile version of google it said somewhere "unknown-android"

Any clues?

Hi let me ask something.. I'm using Unleash The Beast V0.2. I want to increase quadrant score. what should I do.. I mean.. Is there any other command of terminal emulator?, you know.. like side-loading instructor upthere

[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
Well, my question had been about what would happen in regards to UTB now that the AT&T JH7 update has been released. Well, I found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788606&page=5 that people with UTB (and other root methods) seem to be unable to install the upgrade. They seem to be having a ton of problems.

For now I am going to wait until someone smarter than me figures out how to do it lol.
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
Do you know if UTB is actually the one causing the update issues? Or is it just root access (which is known to cause issues).

I'm kinda in the same boat, I'm running UTB on top of stock firmware and I'm wondering if I would even be successful with the OTA update.
[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
Well, I can tell you I too am running stock firmware with UTB, and the update failed for me. I was able to download it, but when I installed it, it said Install Failed :-(
[Captivate Android Development] wstahlhut:
I never had it installed (but I am looking at it now) and I had the failed installs also. About 20 total.

Hi:

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am new to Android and rooting :o .

When (if I'm ever able to) I installe the JH7 update, will that erase rooting? If so, will UTB still work on JH7?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
so far im inclined to say it wont

i installed UTB over an install of the OTA JH7 rom that was ALREADY rooted (its located in another thread on this forum) and while it removed the att bloatware....the superuser program itself force-closed evey time
[Captivate Android Development] bogle35:
i was rooted, using utb and ryanza one click lag fix and my phone is still working after the update yesterday and my gps is now working like its suppose to...
[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
Hi:

did your phone remain rooted?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
Thanks for your reply. I'm so confused lol. I am worried that it will unroot my phone, and I NEED wi-fi tether.

Were you able to root using another method?

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] BuckWylde:
I ran the UTB update after rooting with TGA_Gunnman one click root. UTB removed the AT&T crap, installed it's apps, but the Superuser would FC whenever you tried to open it or whenever anything requested root. I installed Droidwall firewall, and it would fail at launch because it could not get root. To fix I re-applied the one click root and everything seems OK so far.

Haven't tried sideloading yet.

Buck
[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
Hi buck.

Thanks so much for the update!

Please let me know how sideloading goes for you, and how you enabled it.

Thanks again!!
[Captivate Android Development] Denoh:
I had a captivate that was rooted, sim unlocked, running UTB and a lag fix and I updated to JH7 using the zip file contained in another post here. That JH7 is already rooted. I installed it using clockwork recovery without first reverting back to stock rom. It installed successfull, and after the install I reinstalled all my apps using AppBrain, enabled sideloading using Terminal Emulator, reinstalled the battery mod and evo black bar, resim unlocked it and have had no problems. I have yet to reinstall a lag fix because I have not used the phone much to see if it lags. Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
Hi:

Thanks so much for the info. It is really a huge help to know what steps are working for those smarter than me :)

Is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790080&page=2 the update you used?

Also, sorry for the dumb question, but how did you enable sideloading? Is it the same as the steps recommended when you install UTB:

(Side-loading Instructions:

1. Open a terminal (you can download "Android Terminal Emulator" in the market)

2. Type in: su

3. Type in: sideloading

4. Your phone will reboot and sideloading will be enabled!)?

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] Denoh:
Yes. I used the http://xdaforums.com/show...=790080&page=2 update file.

You cannot install this update using the 3 button recovery method.

Once you have the zip file saved in the root of your internal sd card, rename it to update.zip. Make sure you have busybox installed, then launch ROM manager and select reboot into recovery. This will bring you to the recovery screen and select update from SD card.

You are correct on the sideloading instructions.

PS cincy1020: Remember to sync/back up your installed apps with either or both AppBrain and Titanium back up for easy reinstallation. Titanium back up has the option of emailing you a list of all the apps you have installed. As a general rule when using Titanium back up, is is advisable not back up your system data, only back up your app data.
[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
Thank you so much! I have seriously been nervous about doing it, but your help has made me way more confident about it :)
[Captivate Android Development] cincy1020:
FWIW:

I was NOT able to enable sideloading on JH7 update with the sideloading instructions in this post. I assume it only works when you install all of UTB. I did try to install UTB, but it failed.

I have tried ALL the methods I have found, but none of them seem to work for me. I had to use Droid Explorer to install apps, but am still searching for a way to enable sideloading on my phone :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
Has anyone gotten this to work with JH7? If so how? I run it, but it appears that it does nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
It seems like the version of superuser in unleash does not work properly in JH7, after running unleash I had to unroot the phone using the one click root tool then I ran the root function of one click lag fix (which also has a different superuser program or version?) then went back to the terminal emulator to do the sideloading and everything worked fine.

There might be an easier way to do this and accomplish the same thing but I was installing the OCLF anyway so it all worked out.
[Captivate Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
Thanks for the info. Were your AT&T apps removed? Mine seem to stay.
[Captivate Android Development] himmelhauk:
Seems easy enough, we appreciate this. I was skeptical about installing this with the JH7 update but now it looks like a quick fix.

EDIT: thanks a heap typ, it worked just as you said. On a sidenote, people should NOT use ClockworkMod to install, as I tried that and did nothing. Always best to follow instructions, install using normal recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] kylelipp:
Hey I just checked for updates and got "Congratulations T-Mobile has an update available for your device." Any ideas? Should I update( probably not)? Is it the GPS fix?

[Captivate Android Development] smooky45:
Hi well i have some questions. but first of all sorry for my english is horrible :P.

1. does this work with the vibrant? 2. someone in here should do a post of "how/what apps they have" in there androids. since i am new and i dont know what programs to download and how. just a request ><
[Captivate Android Development] himmelhauk:
Make sure to install using the normal recovery method. Sounds like you used ClockworkMod, which doesn't install it properly.
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
yes all of my AT&T apps were removed along with the stock file browser, basically everything that is in the list on the main page. Also the start up and shut down sounds were removed. If that stuff is still on your phone I am guessing that something went wrong, might want to run it again and see what happens.

BTW I used the normal recovery method when I did mine so as others are pointing out, that might be your problem. I have done that button combination so many times now that I think I can do it faster than using clockwork :)
[Captivate Android Development] toawkanavngthded:
maybe thats why i cant get this to work lol. ive tried so many times to boot into recovery mode using the 3 button combo but my phone is unable to do so.... so i thought i can boot into recovery using rom manager but it boots into clockwork recovery. so the only way to install this tool is u HAVE to boot into recovery mode via 3 button combo???? yea cuz when ive done it through clockwork recovery it shows it installing and when it reboots i have all the at&t crap still installed.... really want this to remove the bloatware and have wireless tethering =)
[Captivate Android Development] rogerkent:
Android noob here with a couple questions about this:

I unleashed the beast AFTER receiving the latest OTA update from att. The update had fixed my gps issues, but after unleashing the beast, the gps is back to its old, unreliable, inaccurate self.

Looking at my "about phone"details, I see I have baseband version ucjh7, but the build # is the bugless beast ucjf6.

I guess what I'm asking is, did unleashing the beast essentially undo the OTA update? I tried to check software update to see if it offered me the update again, but it says there is an error and it cannot communicate with the att server.

All I really want at this point is for my gps to work again. Aside from that, unleash the beast has been awesome.

Thanks for any help you guys can give...
