I think he's talking about running the loop.bat file. It loops the 'adb devices' command. You might remember it from the original root method written by Eugene.

For the question: Did you 'cd' to the sdk tools directory? If you want to know about that look in the "slide rom bible" (search xda for it) and find the original slide rooting method written by Eugene. Read it, watch the vids, and you'll learn all this stuff. You can't use his method now since your slide has the tmobile update.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Personguy96:
yeah i was doing it watching the video too and yeah i cded by doing CD C:\android-sdk-windows\tools and like i did loop then went into the fastboot thing and did recovery and instead of saying offline devices it just saud "List of Devices Attatched" and under it its supposed to say offline device cuz i saw it from the video but its just a blank spot
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueltherocker:
The loop method NO LONGER WORKS AFTER THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE. If you got your slide after August 13, you have the new software update. The ONLY working method with the software update is nbetcher's.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random228:
I have an issue with my PC not recognizing my Captivate. When I plug in the USB cable to my PC, I can choose to activate USB mode and it prompts me to mount the drive, I say yes but nothing shows up in My Computer. I was able to do all this fine just a few days ago.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers. I installed Samsung Kies and it doesn't recognize the phone. I tried my phone on another PC and it won't show up there either. I've factory wiped the phone twice now.

Is it a problem with the phone or is there something I can do to get this to work?

Did u try enabling "debug mode" and seeing if the PC recognizes it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajuntigerbait:
The main issue is usually your USB cable. I had the same issue. You need to find an OEM mini usb cable for it to work properly. The one that came with my phone works fine, but when i went to ATT and bought one for my work, it only lets you charge the phone and does not put your phone into USB connection mode.

The ones from MonoPrice work for me and they were like $1.50

Diablo: Been in debugging mode most of the time trying to get it to work. Main issue is getting my personal MB Pro to recognize, so I won't be able to check/tinker much until after work tonight.

After closing the Copilot, the standby batteryg does not go below 58 mAh. (so not really into sleep mode).

Only sollution is to reboot Android.

Any one with a sollution ?

With older builds like shubcraft, gps stays stuck open after usage. Newer sense android builds and kernels turn off gps properly (so you don't need to manually disable after usage)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonboyuk:
Dude, the answer is simple. You need to be using something much newer. You could always just try using Hastarin's R7.5 kernel which is the best right now.

Or just use a new build completely unless you love the Shubcraft style that much!

On Darkstone's latest build with R7.5 non-overclocked I'm getting approx 7 hours for each 10% of the battery.

I have a T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.

I followed a guide here:

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1

I can get into the recovery menu and I can see the option to reinstall packages. However when I press a power button to reinstall packages it seems like something is happening and it takes about 3 seconds and then the phone reboots.

I tried to use titanium Backup and I get a message it can't get access to root. I am assuming that am still not rooted.

I tried rooting with this method two times and it seems the result is the same.

Anyone has any idea?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Ignore some of the idiots above me :)

But that is normally how long it takes.. It doesn't take long at all for it to work. Just go to apps on your phone, and look for an application called "SuperUser"

If it is there then you are rooted, and for apps that require root, there will be a little box that pops up asking for permission :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarzanman:
Why are you going to flame him? None of the stickys have been updated with any information regarding root information for JI6.

Some people have issues, while other people do not.

I visit this forum everyday and still haven't found any definitive information about rooting on JI6...just people saying "hey try this" or "try that".

Goofing around without knowing what you're doing is the easiest way to jack up your phone. If he messed it up just following a thread by 'Billy-bob-Joe' then you would probably be the first one to flame him for not asking for help before he tried anything.

Cut the guy some slack.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orochi77:
Master thank you for responding.

I had the superuser application even before I was trying any rooting.

I also just tried another tutorial for one click root and another tutorial where a rooting is done from a apk file from within the phone but nothing seems to work.

Some people have the same problem at the one click root thread but there is no answer to that. :(

Thanks Tarzanman :)

I am assuming JI6 is a firmware that I have.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarzanman:
As of this post JI6 is the latest firmware for the Samsung Vibrant.

T-mobile is sending it out over their network ("OTA"), but you can also obtain the update via Samsung's (very buggy) Kies or Kies Mini software (assuming you get the software to recognize your phone properly).

It is called JI6 because if you go to Settings|About Phone|Baseband Version

then phones running this firmware will read "T959UVJI6"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orochi77:
Tarzanman thanks for your explanation.

On my phone is actually reads as: T959UVJFD.

Can this firmware be rooted?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I7oobie:
Yes, JFD is the stock ROM. You might as well get JI6 loaded on to it, as loading it on after will reset your root priviledges anyways.

Best way to check if you have root is to download Terminal Emulator, open it, and type in SU...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orochi77:
Thanks :)

Terminal Emulator gave me a message "Permission Denied"

I am assuming that i am not rooted.

What am i doing wrong then? :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocobo15:
you followed the steps on this guide?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1

make sure you DL the file on that thread, and follow its steps!

1) make sure you rename the dl'd file "update.zip"

2) make sure you have the file in the internal memory of the phone, not the SD card

Try it again, and let us know!

I have never had a root problem, though I do find it strange that you had "superuser" prior to rooting.

You have a brand new phone? or did you buy it off the internet somewhere? There's no way new phones have "superuser" on it already.

If you've already tried to many methods, i'm guessing one of those ways you tried installed superuser on the phone without granting you root access (which is weird too)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
From the General Sticky (and it works regardless of JFD or JI6):

HOW TO ROOT

justadude had a great post on how to root. Please read his post. I have used this method about 10 times and it always works flawlessly and it's just so incredibly easy.

Be sure you are placing the file on the root of your internal memory (sdcard/). This is possibly the easiest phone ever to root.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orochi77:
I did :(. I just tried now again and the same thing happened.

It seems like the process went fine. Now I tried to type su in terminal emulator and again it says permission denied.

The phone was bought from second hands. It was locked to T-Mobile. The guy who i bought it from unlocked it and claimed that he only used it for one week.

The phone came with superuser app. It is part of the phone and not a 3rd party application. I cannot remove it. I thought it was part of the stock apps that come with the phone. :confused:

s15274n, yep did that at least three times now with no luck.

Just to confirm. I am putting the update.zip file on the root of the drive that has internal memory of the phone, not the SD card. I am guessing if I was putting it elsewhere then the recovery menu will not see it as install packages option.

I am lost. Perhaps the dude that sold me the phone messed something up somehow and now because of that I can't root. :(

Thank you for helping me guys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orochi77:
s15274n

Can you tell me something?

When you select install packages how long does the process take before the phone reboots?

For me it takes about three seconds.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
It really does not take long at all.... several seconds sounds about right.

Are you renaming the file on your phone, or the pc?

My concern is you are renaming it update.zip.zip (because your pc is hiding the file extension).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orochi77:
I am renaming the file on the PC via total commander.

I am pretty sure it is not zip.zip issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Download the file to your phone directly from the thread I linked.

On your phone, go to the filed (sdcard/download).

Long press and rename it using Astro or Root Explorer, etc.

just start to the left of update.zip and delete the name so it's now just update.zip

long press and move this file to sdcard/

go to stock recovery and flash it.

Do all of these steps and tell me it doesn't work....

i noticed i wasn't hearing any commentary on some youtube videos, so I looked up this surround sound test on youtube.

I'm not able to post outside links yet, so if you type into youtube

"surround sound stereo test" its the first link that pops up.

When I go through that test, the left, right, and center are all very clearly defined, but the surround channel is nonexistent/faintly glitchy sounding. When I plug in headphones to the Evo the surround channel is fine. I also had a friend who just flashed to RLS 2 try this test and his Evo doesn't register anything from the "right" channel, but actually does the surround channel correctly. I just flashed myn's warm rls 2 with kings kernel #11, and I haven't really noticed this problem until now.

I thought Kings #11 might be a culprit so I flashed netarchy 4.1.9 cfs, but its the same problem. does anyone know of any internal settings to get surround sound? if you guys check the test on your evos you can see if you get all channels to play correctly(maybe its not just me?). any help appreciated, thanks

Hello everyone!

Isn't the point of having and 8gb sd slot that is expandable to 32 gb is so you can put a whole lot of apps on your phone? I know the storage space is great for media but I've gone through 2 storage cards trying to install apps on them. The first time it was on the 8gb card that came with the phone and after so many apps the phone just stopped being able to access the card. So I paid $30 to upgrade to a 16gb from buy.com and everything was working fine until I got about 530 mb of apps installed on to it and the phone just stopped reading it. I can still read the cards with my SD card reader on my laptop but the phone just cant access it. I'm starting to think its the phone which is now rooted so now my warranty is void. Anyone have any info on this? Please educate the masses! :)
