[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatonjb:
ok... i am a little confused to what "adb" is and how to get "su" (superuser) via a Terminal app that i downloaded for my phone.

I type "su" and and I get "su: not found" same with "adb"

what am i not understanding?

trying to follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797397 but the commands are not working..

i am a little new to my captivate here, so help me out. I install 2.2 and i would like to root it..

thanks in advance, and forgive my ignorance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
ADB is the Android Debug Bridge. You can read what it is here Android Debug Bridge

To use this you must first install the Android Software Development Kit found here Download the Android SDK

Read up a bit on those and search the forums to find more help. Good luck.

I was / am in the same boat.

I spent 4 hours last night getting it figured out, I sure wish I could find an Android for dummies book.

Anyway, here is what cha do....

once you dowload the adb package unzip it to the root of your c drive, you may want to rename it to some thing shorter, I just called it android.

next download the root package from the root thread here and unzip the files and copy or cut them into the tools folder of the ADB folder you placed on the root of C:

navigate to the tools folder and copy adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll to the system32 directory in windows, you will need to reboot. This will allow you to use the windows cmd line.

now I am on window 7 64 so I ran the commond line as administrator to be safe. to do this click start all prograns accessorires right click cmd and select run as admin.

change directory to the tools folder, for me "cd c:\android\tools"

Connect phone be sure usb debugging is on in the phone, (settings, application, development. it will install drivers. (I manually installed the samsung 64 bit drivers I had downloaded from samsung)

from the command promt type adb devices and hope fully it will see your phone and return with the serial number and them you are good to go with following the instructions to root from there.

I hope this helps...

Cappy

the information on how to use this is really not in one place, I spent 4 hours last night searching all over to figure it out, just so I would not ask and be belittled because there is NOT good information.

I have even been searching for any books I can find on Android so I can understand how this system works, but have found no good ones yet.

I need a nice Android for dummies type thing.

I spent an hour just to figure out it still won't run right unless you change directory to the tools folder where everything is at. ( it's been like 15 years since I messed with dos).

Some where in the wiki or bibles or all the other how toos being posted we really need better information on how to use the tools and what they are.

Cheers

thanks.. i think i got that far,.. I copied the files into the tools folder and I still get

$ su,busybox,sqlite3
su,busybox,sqlite3
su,busybox,sqlite3: not found
$

i even copied the files to the android, and ran it from that folder.. still no luck

what am i doing wrong?!? gosh.. i never felt soo dumb about things like this before
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PersonOfKnownOrigin:
OK. took me a little while to figure this out, too. Not sure of your level of knowledge of the terminal. If I over-simplified please forgive me.

"Extract RootPack zip file" Did you do this? I think you did from you post. Make sure you've copied the files to your "tools" subfolder in the android sdk folder.

Click the start button, click run, type "cmd", press enter.

When that window opens type "cd.." and press Enter. Keep typing "cd.." and pressing Enter until the only thing you see at the prompt is "c:\"

Now navigate to the Tools folder where ever it is you put the android sdk.

I put mine at "c:\android_sdk" so I would type "cd c:\android_sdk\tools"

Plug your phone into your computer.

Go to home screen>menu>settings>applications>development and select "USB debugging".

At the command prompt type "adb devices" and your phone should return a value (the serial number).

If that works you should be able to follow the directions below.

It's been mention that you should be able to copy the commands from the web page and right click the terminal window and select "Paste". Makes everything faster, easier and more accurate. One other thing to mention: after you perform these steps and you want to do something else through adb where you're instructed to type "su" you'll need to open the SuperUser application on your phone and press "approve" after typing "su".

adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

(wait for you to get kicked from adb)

adb shell

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

exit

adb push su /system/bin/su

adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox

adb push sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3

adb push superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.apk

adb shell

cd /system/bin

chmod 4755 su

chmod 4755 busybox

chmod 4755 sqlite3

reboot
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
those arent even commands. just random words you put into the terminal....

follow the instructions exactly like PersonOfKnownOrigin has posted. it works
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
I too was having trouble, turns out the files were extracted and were in a sub folder in the Tools folder so I copied and pasted them directly into the tools folder one by one, that worked great for me. Also, I find it easier to open command shell and use the Android Tools by holding the shift key and right clicking on the Tools folder and choose open command window here. I hope this helps.

I have a stupid path becaue my laptop messed up when I first got it and I haven't been able to fix it because DOS is difficult to me. It works fine but I am too lazy to type such a long path and if you are off at all it dosen't work.

just copy and paste the commands so you don't get them wrong, worked for me. The command is su then hit enter then enter the next command line and hit enter, works like a charm.

It's amazing how very few people seem to care about the new sense roms, their is almost no interest at all, i think everyone is waiting for the official one from htc because of the fewer bugs? I think what leedroid said about the the roms not being the final builds has also got alot to do with the fact that very few devs are working on getting the camera sorted, maybe we should remind everyone how long the official froyo update took! :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furma:
there have been conflicting reports about this

but from what can be read in HTC statements, they most likely wont port it to Desire or older HTC models

considering all of those mobiles have lower memory, even HTC would need to struggle to port those large ROMs to older devices (and i doubt they would release ROM which required to be installed on SD card and not on the internal phone memory..)

[Desire General] MKuiter:
I've rooted my weeks old HTC Desire with the latest Unrevoked and I partitioned my SD card for use with A2SD; everything went fine. In ClockWorkMod recovery I installed A2SD from SDcard and that went fine too (had to toggle signature verification though). But the subsequent reboot got me stuck at the white screen with green HTC letters.

I used fastboot from the SDK to see if I was bricked because of the A2SD and it told me I wasn't. I can get into Fastboot, HBoot and the ClockWorkMod recovery (v2.5.0.7). What can I do now to get past the white screen?
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
You can try re-flashing a ROM that has A2SD by default(So that in future you won't risk it again). Do a complete wipe(data/factory reset, cache), format every partition in ClockworkMod Recovery and mount it into USB. Copy the ROM's file and then flash it. Do a reboot and you should be good to go again.
[Desire General] MKuiter:
Thanks, flashing a ROM with A2SD did the trick. I'm trying out the MIUI ROM which looks nice.

Hi,

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000. I already rooted the phone but unfortunately all the cappy Samsung Apps are still there. Primarily, I wanted to get rid

of these (Aldiko eBook, AllShare, Layar, ... you name it). So I figure I have to flash a non-original ROM right? Now here's the question: Which ROM to use? I would like to see Android 2.2 on this phone and no Apps in ROM. I already checked --some link in this boad I may not post-- and found a link that leads to several ROMs. But I figure my firmware does not find a match there:

PDA: I9000XXJM1

PHONE: I9000XXJM1

CSC: I9000XAJM1

So which ROM can you recommend?

cu

mathiase
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
I recommend you stay the hell away from Froyo Betas as all they bring is problem and heartache! SERIOUSLY. Go ahead and install them but don't jump on here for quick fixes. I recommend you install JM8 and Tatyuma 1.1 Lite! here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774950

The reason for lite edition is that its fast, and doesn't use the Voodoo lag fix as voodoo has a few battery draining problems. Once you have installed Tatyuma you can install Titanium Backup and set on chuck norris mode and uninstall more junk you don't want. just be hell careful. Also install OCLF 2.0 from market and install lag fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mathiase:
Hi,

thanks for you reply. Assuming I decide to stick with Android 2.1 - what would be a good choice and where do I get the ROM from?

cu

mathiase
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
I surely recommend the Tatyuma rom modification + JM8 rom over Froyo betas as well.

However, I also recommend the Voodoo lag fix. Not sure what it's really all about with the battery as I don't seem to experience any real diff in battery life (or it's too small for me to notice). I however do notice that it's so much faster than OCLF :P

In any case, any of the Tatyuma JM8 roms are the best i've used so far. For Flash websites, I use Skyfire.

Man, I came from 2.1 with Voodoo and have nothing but praise for JPK...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mathiase:
Hi,

I am pushing this thread a little - sry. I still have a few unsolved questions:

1) What is "tatyuma"? According to google it does not exist - which is weird - because its google ;)

2) My current firmware is PDA: I9000XXJM1, PHONE: I9000XXJM1, CSC: I9000XAJM1. To update to the JM8 firmware, do I really have to use Odin? I am 100% Linux user and Odin appears to be a Windows application ;)

3) The MoDaCo ROM says I need the JG5 firmware. I figure this JG5 firmware is older that my JM1, so do I have to downgrade my firmware for this ROM to use?

Hope you can help!

Hi ,

Normaly when the phone goes in sleeping mode when phone is not used in 30 sec and you puch the button on top it wakes up but since a few day's now it doesn't wake up even when i press the button for a long time but when i connect the prone to the pc and let it go in sleepingmode and i press the button the all works fine.

I even did a hard reset because i thought it was a software problem.

Battery indicates as ok.

Could this be helped with a new battery or is the phone broke ?
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
since you went so far to try a hard reset, you can try task 29 and flashing another rom as well. that way you can for sure determine, whether your problem is software- or hardware related.

does anyone have an idea on what the problem could be ?

ps: the phone works fine aslong as you don't let it go in sleepingmode longer than 5 minits
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
your issue is very strange. since through task 29 and another rom software is not the problem, the battery is not the problem and the problem persists, the only thing that comes to mind is getting it back to stock status, (rom, radio, spl) and send it to htc to get it repaired/replaced. assuming they don't find clues of you unlocking the phone and you did not destroy the hardware on purpose, they should fix it for free on the warranty.
