Pretty straight forward since they have the one click root/indoors for our phones...google one click root for captivate or on here and if u need more help you tube it up...good luck
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cozmo1:
1) No

2) No

3) No

4) Nothing

5) Nobody can really answer this for you. Check out the different ROM threads and decide which one you'd like the most. I can tell you that I've used most posted here and my favorite, though highly modified by me, is Assonance. For installing a new ROM then numbers 3 and 4 will change to yes and unless you don't mind losing it, don't expect anything will be saved, but back things up beforehand. Always.

Before loading a ROM download and get used to "Titanium Backup" and "Rom Manager".

ok last question i think. i have launcher pro plus and ive changed my icons to how i like them will i need to redo everything after i root and install a rom or will it stay the same and just change the internal stuff?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjballar41:
and z4root wont let me do it cause it says my phone blocks apps not in the market place.

Very simple to root your phone doing it this way. And worse comes to worse you could just copy the update.zip into your SDCard and run it under your recovery menu on your phone.

You will not lose your setting or icons in launcher pro by rooting.

I have custom icons for my LP+ and I don't need to do them over as long as I use Titanium Backup and backup LP+ and data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Does rooting do anything to the market ID? I basically want to root so I can eliminate the pre-loaded bloat, install non-Market apps, and do full backups. Will this interfere with getting any AT$T updates, especially Froyo when it eventually is released?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod777:
device Id will probably change, but all you have to do is while on the stock rom download android id changer from market and save your stock device id. Then after rom is flashed install android id changer and load your id and change it back to the original.

You will likely have to be at stock in order to use at&t ota updates.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Like I said, I only want to gain access to other apps and controls. I do NOT want to flash a custom ROM. Does rooting alone change the Market ID or is that only a consequence of ROM flashing? Also, all the instructions direct you to put the phone into USB debugging mode, b ut they don't say whether to turn this off when done rooting. Is that done automatically?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
No rooting does not effect your id. Rooting is easy and safe. It is what you do after youroot that can get sticky

I give you a week or two tops, then you will be asking what is the best custom rom ;)

So it sounds like lots of us use car mounts and such for navigation, music, etc. I purchased REAL HDMI which allows for full (true) HDMI out to an external device, just wondering if anyone has found a car screen (touch or non, preferrably >7-10") for movies and vids and such? I just started researching screens (without the deck as it's not necessary, my device is my player) and not finding any with HDMI inputs.

Anyone else ever thought of this or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] superas:
Good question.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BigWilly11:
Found this:

"Do not use the "Update Library" function in Windows Media Player on your Windows Mobile Device. This will add all sorts of audio files and sound effects to your media library from both your main device and storage card."

and this:

"Mobile Windows Media Player, when launched, defaults to showing the "My Device" library. You probably want it to open the "Storage Card" library by default. You can remove the "My Device" library listing option completely by deleting the following file: "Mobile Device\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\XMEMediaLibrary.mlb." This way, only the files in your Storage Card library will show up in Windows Media Player Mobile."

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakashi_s1:
Here's my scenerio.

I just upgraded my sd card from 8GB to 16GB.

3 Partitions: 15.5 GB main, 512 MB ext3, 32 MB linux-swap

Flashed Vaelek 2.3a ROM, didn't like it.

Formatted data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache x2

Flashed MikFroyo ROM, liked it.

PROBLEM: Apps from Vaelek rom still installed on new rom.

Uninstalled Vaelek's apps manually.

Installed new apps (MIUI music player, Chase App, Wordfeud)

Installed AOSP Phone.apk dialer.

****ed up my Dialer somehow...

Formatted data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache x2

Flashed MikFroyo ROM

PROBLEM: User installed apps still installed.

so...

QUESTION.... How do I stop this from happening???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakashi_s1:
UPDATE:

Re-formatted SD card with same 3 partitions.

used Calk's FORMAT ALL zip.

Flashed a ROM.

Installed User Apps.

Formatted data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache x2

Flashed a new ROM.

Installed User Apps found again in new ROM.

Interesting tidbit: Some apps only transfer over. For example, Chase app would be on any rom but Titanium Backup wouldn't, or WordFeud would be on any new ROMs flashed.

Maybe it's ROM specific? Anyone else having this problem before?

[Droid X General] m3n00b:
It seems I can't backup my ROM. When I click "Backup current ROM" my DX just reboots.
[Droid X General] bobenhaus:
I had the same problem and how I fixed it was used koush bootrap and after that I was able to use ROM Manager. Thanks
[Droid X General] m3n00b:
Ok, so I got koush's bootstrapper, launched it and phone has reboooted and started to backup. I can't tell if it's using the clockwork or koush to backup though.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
It uses clockwork to backup and koush to hijack the boot init process
[Droid X General] z06mike:
To use the backup feature in ROM Manager: Go to koush's bootsrap 1st and bootstrap recovery, then go to ROM Manager and select "Backup Current ROM." It will then reboot in recovery and start the backup process.
[Droid X General] canyoufindben:
Couple things. Koush = Koushik Dutta, Developer of Clockworkmod Recovery, Rom Manager, and DX/D2 BootStrapper.

If you try to only use Rom Manager it WILL ONLY REBOOT. That's because you have to use the BootStrapper to "hijack" the boot. It creates "/data/.recovery_mode" and prevents "/system" from mounting and running on reboot. Only then should it go into recovery when you reboot. After you are done, and are rebooted back in to the GUI, the BootStrapper app looks for "/data/.recovery_mode" and deletes it, if it exists. That way when you turn off or reboot the phone, you don't go back into recovery every time. This is also why you have to Bootstrap Recovery every time you want to do something with the Clockworkmod Recovery, e.i. nandroid, install new ROM, or restore a backup.
[Droid X General] ImAjay:
Will bootstrap work for Motorola Bravo?

Used Superoneclick to root the device and downloaded ClockworkMod...I get the reboot at Backup current rom, too. I see that I need to install Bootstrapper but wonder if it'll work for Bravo.
[Droid X General] opinhasi:
Koush might be great...

But theres something a little devious about the fact that i already paid for his ROM Manager which has an option to backup, but doesnt actually back anything up, until you pay

more

money for a bootstrap utility to accompany the cwm app you already paid for!!

that's a li'l shady in my opinion!
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
It's not shady, it's not the developers fault, the locked bootloader forces a hijack process hat the boostrap application puts in place. There's plenty of places that you can get the boostrap app for free; also, I believe that in the ROM Manager description it states that you must use one of the bootstrap applications.
[Desire General] nicometal:
I am French so sorry for that broken English. My desire has a problem, it is root with the Roma and the theme LEEDROID v2.3b LeeDrOiD Bios bootanimation by scar45. After installation, the phone works after a reboot, the phone hangs and restarts constantly android logo without ever starting. In addition, the fastboot is stable but access to recovery is blocked on a black screen. I had to make a blunder, because I did not Goldcard nandroid or backup. I tried everything and nothing worked, so out of pity, HELP ME!
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Did you create an ext partition with your SD card?

Install the android sdk and extract it to c:\android-sdk-windows, then put your phone in fastboot usb mode, open the command prompt, change path to the tools directory of the android sdk, type:

cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools, then press enter.

fastboot erase cache, then press enter.

fastboot reboot, then press enter.

See if that helps.

You could also revert back to stock rom using the PB99IMG method in fastboot, but this requires access to your SD card and you would need a Gold Card also. Do you have a card reader?
[Desire General] nicometal:
No, it does not work, I do not see how Goldcard but if we create an ext partition? I think I did but I'm not sure.
[Desire General] nicometal:
Whenever I try to install a recovery, the cmd gives me this:

"c:\android-sdk-windows\android\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img

sending 'recovery' (3936 KB)... OKAY [ 0.602s]

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 1.018s"
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Where are you placing the recovery image, in the android sdk tools folder?

I think if you had some way of placing the recovery image to the root of your sd card (i.e. using another phone or a card reader), then before executing the fastboot command to flash the recovery image, type:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 (to find and mount the sd card, where the recovery image resides).
[Desire General] nicometal:
When I do this command: fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 winth the recovery in the repertory fastboot.exe and in the sd card.

This is: ...INFO[ERR] Command error!!!
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Hi again,

so are you saying that you are able to mount and place files onto your sd card?
[Desire General] nicometal:
yes, exactly.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Ok, since you can gain access to your sd card, then why not try the PB99IMG method - this involves you downloading your stock RUU, extracting the rom.zip from it when it is run in Windows, you then rename it to PB99IMG.zip, place to the root of your SD card, enter fastboot USB and let it run. By doing this, you will be unrooted and revert back to stock ROM, but at least then, you will be able to re-root using unrEVOked and you will have your standard recovry back and intact. You could also flash a custom recovery aswell afterwards.

EDIT: You will need a Gold Card though :(
[Desire General] nicometal:
But I can not have Goldcard because I need my phone is connected yet it turns over. So if you have a solution how to create a Goldcard without having to switch on.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Your phone should have come with a MicroSD card adapter, which looks like a normal sized SD Card, with a slot at the back to insert your MicroSD into. So you take out your MicroSD card from the phone (or use a spare MicroSD card), slide it into the small slot on the adapter, and slide the adapter into your SD Card reader slot on your laptop/desktop. If you dont have an SD Card reader slot you'll need to get a USB SD or MicroSD card reader.

Once you plug it in it'll automatically detect the card as a disk drive in My Computer. Then you can follow the steps in this guide here: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/

Good luck.
[Desire General] nicometal:
Goldcard tool 0.0.5 failed to get CID for MMC1 and MMC0. I don't understand the problem.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Hmm... do you have Lthe latest HTC Sync software and at least .Net Framework 2.0 installed, are you also running on a 64-bit system?
[Desire General] nicometal:
I have windows 7 64 bits but i retry because .Net Framework 2.0 was not install
[Desire General] MasDroid:
If you still have difficulty with that, you could also try it from fastboot mode in ADB:

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
[Desire General] nicometal:
yes i try too and: device not found

and all drivers are installed.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
With your SD card in your SD adapter connected into the laptop / USB card reader, does it not work with the Gold Card tool after installing .NET Framework 2.0?
[Desire General] nicometal:
.Net framework 2.0 doesn't install. Maybe because i have windows 7 64 bits
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Ahh.. just noticed that it is already incorporated into Windows 7 (i think latest .NET Framework 3.5.1 version), but it has to be enabled.

Try this:

Go to Start > Programs > Control Panel. In the Control Panel, select Programs. On the left hand side you will see "Turn windows features on or off". Open that and scroll down to Microsoft net framework 3.5.1 and tick the relevant boxes next to it. Then your computer will install this for you.

[Galaxy Tab General] theexx123:
Hello.

I just updated Kies to version 1.5.3.10103_102, and the Tabs firmware is JJ3. This seems to be a problem, cause the previous version of Kies connected to the tab with out problems - but not this one. My phone (Galaxy S) is able to connect to the newest version, so I assume it's narrowed down to a problem between the tabs firmware version and the Kies version. Searches done in this forum gave no results as far as I could see, but I doubt no one else has experienced this?

Is there a known fix? And what is the newest official firmware released through Kies for the Galaxy Tab? I couldn't get an upgrade when I tried, but experience tells me I wouldn't get it anyways since i didn't run the latest version of Kies. I live in Norway, if it makes any difference.

I'm very sorry if I missed a similar thread,

Thanks alot in advance for any help/input.

Edit: I should add that I actually tried connecting the tab to an older version of Kies on another computer, wich worked. When I updated this computer as well, it wouldn't connect. Just to make sure that this was actually a Kies problem.
[Galaxy Tab General] gabell:
I had the same issue, had to reboot the galaxy tab after updating Kies and it then worked ok.

On the same firmware as you also JJ3, and been looking around for best firmware to update. A lot of discussions on JMD, JMC and JMA but all appear to be based around ATT and T-Mobile devices, so I am a little cautious to do anything myself yet.

p.s. Also on same Kies as you, reports already on latest firmware
[Galaxy Tab General] theexx123:
A reboot doesn't seem to fix it here, unfortunatly :mad: Wonder why Samsung sticks to Kies, must be the worst piece of software I have ever been "forced" to use, and that includes Itunes :p

But if JJ3 is the newest firmware (I could have sworn someone was writing about a version called JJ7?) I can just wait and see what happens.

Personally I'm also sceptical of flashing any unofficial firmware as of now, doesn't seem to be all that safe? Just to afraid to end up with a 7" brick :D

[Galaxy Tab General] IP IHI II IL:

OK, just to clarify, I'm on a Sprint Galaxy Tab, SCH-P100...

After reading a TON of different forum's posts with no help at all, I started playing around with some settings, and after tapping and tapping, I MAY (I repeat) MAY have figured it out.

It seems as though all you need to do is set your Tab to USB debugging selected before you plug it into your machine to try and get Kies to read it.

Settings~> Applications~>Developement~>Select USB debugging

Plug your Tab in, and see what happens!

My result was a bit dissapointing, as it FINALLY connected, but says I have no updates available...lol Don't know if there's another setting that needs some tap action, but at least it's now connected, right?

Best wishes for at LEAST a connection between Kies and your Tab!
