WOW

After weeks of trying and I even tried a SuperOneClick before.

This one finally worked and my phone is rooted! I can't hit the thank you button enough!!!!

Now titanium backup is telling me "Your system settings will prevent you from restoring apps. To correct this, go to Apps and check the 'Unknown Sources' checkbox." Only problem is, that setting is not on the new Captivates.

Thanks again I can't tell you how many different things I tried!
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Good deal...glad this worked for u... :D
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
yeah the OLD versions of superone click wouldnt complete process on 2.2.

super one click 1.6 and UP works!

thats why i gave you a link to 1.8 last page!~

Super one click will also has the feature "enable non market apps" open it again and look. ATT captivates have that option removed from stock. Rogers and others dont.

so after rooting try

to switch to the root user. You'll be prompted by the SuperUser app, then you can execute the mount command
[Captivate Android Development] nevitablestudd:
instructions

the instructions are not clear...I'm getting an error saying can not mount...do i have to be rooted to do this
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
yes. you have to root to mount system, that is WHY YOU ROOT.

root with super one click root 1.8

and the post above you said " so after rooting ".....

A new member:

ultrabasura (cant post in dev)

He (she) wants to share an alternate method for replacing the 3e

I'll post for him....

this method is adb commands ONLY

I thought this was really cool.....
[Captivate Android Development] Pudrow:
I used this method and it seemed to work for me... So I thought.

But now I cannot reboot into recovery. I had just booted it into recovery right before trying this method to make sure I was still having the 3e issue. But after I ran these adb commands it wont go into recovery no matter what combo of buttons I use.

Yes I'm holding vol-up/vol-down+power I've booted into recovery a million times before and now when I let go it just goes to a normal boot. If I keep holding the buttons down it just gets into a cycle between the ATT World Phone and a black screen.

Occasionally it will get stuck on the white ATT world phone screen for no matter how long I leave it and I have to pull the battery

Anyone know whats wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] rayburne:
Sounds like you are in a boot loop.

Can you get into download mode (hold Vol. Up and Vol. Down while plugging in the USB cable)?

If yes, you may need to just use Odin and flash to stock.

See the last few posts in this thread.

I was in a boot loop last week and this is how I recovered.

Also leopic has some links to threads with other info that can help.

Let us know how it goes....

Says your in SLC....I'm right up over Parleys in Jeremy Ranch. Small world....
[Captivate Android Development] Pudrow:
Boot loop stock flash

It is a small world :)

Update: Bootloop gone, rerooted and flashed!

I followed your link and ended up getting an Odin3 method from leopic

Rooted and I'm giving Firefly a try

Thanks!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] rayburne:
Glad to hear to recovered!

Did you get both 2 button and 3 button combos back after the odin flash?

Fire Fly (like all Team Phoenix Roms) is awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] Pudrow:
You know I haven't tried to use either one. I read how you got stuck in another boot loop and didn't want to mess with it. I'm guessing I got both back I was able to go to recovery via power menu

Rooting new Captivate (Froyo 2.2 stock) or flashing back to Cognition?

I have been reading here on how to root the new Captivates. I had to replace my old Captivate ( due to data connection issues) that came with 2.1 stock. I upgraded to android 2.2 thru flashing Cognition. However when I got the new Captivate it had froyo 2.2 stock, froyo.uckb1, kernel 2.6.32.9 on it. I was thinking of rooting it and re downloading all my apps from the market place. But I ran into the same rooting issues as others did with their new Captivates. It seems like this has been solved. However so I was wondering instead of going thru all the processes others had to to root their new Captivates maybe I should just flash back to Cognition which was much easier to root. This might make more sense since all my old programs on the Cognition OS are backed up with Titanium. So it might be more compatible this way instead of restoring all the programs to the Froyo OS. Does anyone have an opinion whether is should root the new phone or go back to Cogniton?
[Captivate Android Development] rayburne:
I didn’t have any troubles rooting 2.1 or 2.2.

For 2.2 I used the method seen here, and the rooting process was flawless.

For me, my troubles started after flashing back to stock JF6 with Odin OneClick.

Odin read successful but on reboot was in a boot loop.

After these steps in this thread, I was able to get into Recovery mode and flashed Phoenix. After the flash the phone will boot normally and works properly. The only problem is I lost both 2 and 3 button combos (I know for 100% both worked before flashing with Odin). From what others have said it could just be a bad flash (even though Odin said successful).

I personally would root and go back to a custom Rom. There are plenty of 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms out that destroy both stock releases for the cappy. If you’re concerned, go ahead and by a USB jig ($8 shipped) so if you have any troubles you can always (well 9 times out of 10 depending on what system files you are flashing, such as boot loaders) get into download mode and recover with Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] Pudrow:
I've had two Samsung Vibrants that rooted in the past no problem. Then when I switched to ATT Samsung Captivate it gave me hell! I tried so many different ways to root, that I eventually bricked or put my phone in boot loop. Luckily I could still go into download mode and was able to use Odin3 to flash an older stock rom. Now this older stock rom didn't have the 3e verification so it was easy to root and flash.

I didn't see that video that rayburne posted when I was trying to root so it might work perfectly.

But if I had to start all over again I would have flashed JH7 with Odin3 following the directions here they are really easy and clear.

Just don't flash JF6 since it caused so many issues for rayburne

Good luck!

I am not shure the procedure will work for the new gingerbread I897UCKF1 rom. the rom dose use 3e however "recovery" is not located in the bin directory. It seems to be in the root.
[Captivate Android Development] TigerEnigma:
I've tried replacing the root recovery, no good it gets replaced on boot, and there is also one in the in the sbin. Not sure if the recovery.rc has anything to do with it...maybe this needs to be modified?
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
FYI: I dont use the gingerleak.

I know another way of getting past 3e (on 2.2 atleast) is to flash an alternate kernel with CWM in it. Have you tried that?

If you are rooted, can you use the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery in Rom Manager (or the update.zip) to get CWM?

Sorry if it doesn't help. But I thought i could throw in some advice.
[Captivate Android Development] TigerEnigma:
I modified the script file in TRusselos 3e Fix from the below link to replace the recovery at / and sbin. It works to replace the image, but does not hold through reboot. I'm sure someone will get it soon:)

[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
GB

Would this work on the leaked GB, since its still a 3e recovery system?
[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
Use download mode and Odin to flash a compatible custom kernel (.tar) on the phone and you can skip this step altogether.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Not a custom kernel for KF1 tht i know of

[Captivate Android Development] KonaZXIII:
Did you install it more than once (i.e., try again)?

I've had a kernel bootloop only to start working after immediately flashing it again.
[Captivate Android Development] orrorin:
Well, I broke it.

Ok, so I followed the instructions, replaced the recovery, and rebooted. The phone would not boot, so I flashed with Odin One click.

Now my phone is in a boot loop. With the USB cable inserted, it only goes to the charge screen for a moment, then reboots. Without, it shows the AT&T splash screen and reboots after a second or two.

3 button combo doesn't work. Actually, nothing seems to work getting my phone into download mode.

I have a suspicion that my phone may be bricked, so what are my options?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
pull the battery, plug one end of your usb cable into pc (not into phone yet), put battery in, hold vol + and vol - and plug cable into phone. download mode should start.

I would flash safe jf6, or something without bootloaders. from there you should be able to flash a kernel, or cwm to flash any rom you want.
[Captivate Android Development] orrorin:
Unfortunately, no button combination (I have tried every one I can find) will get me into download mode. Is the UnBrickable mod my only option?
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
Have you tried "adb reboot download" or a jig?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Wow, I have never had the method I mentioned fail. If you see something on the screen, it isn't hard bricked. A jig may be in order.
[Captivate Android Development] gramme66:
Hi,

I have been having a problem rooting my cappy running GB 2.3.5. SuperOneClick gives me that message "/dev/block/stl9 /system" and when I try to do a root via update.zip I get the e signature verification failed.

After reading your post I am pretty sure this is my problem but to do what you say it sounds like I have to be rooted? What can I do to correct this problem so I can root?

Thanks

gramme

UPDATE

I tried to put this fix on but it hung up on "running rageagainstthecage"

any advise?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Those exploits were closed in gingerbread. You will need to flash (with odin) a kernel with cwm, then flash root from there.
[Captivate Android Development] drake495:
Can this be added to the OP?

I could have saved 2 days of trial and lots of error with no luck trying the various methods listed to mod 3e on gingerbread 2.3.5 stock.

Just trying to help save other noobs time.

Looks like I'm off to find a kernel so I can get CWM installed and start flashing.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] loonieryan:
+1 I just spent hours trying to replace the stock recovery on 2.3.3 only to discover that this method is now deprecated.

This thread should have a disclaimer in the first post that this exploit DOES NOT WORK with Gingerbread!
[Captivate Android Development] quixotic_elixer:
So is there another method out there that will enable me to get clockworkmod properly installed on my captivate?

I've rooted my phone, but can't get CWM installed >=(

and this learning process has been very confusing to say the least.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
there are dozens

follow the instructions in the OP to fix 3e, then use LOL rom manager to install CWM.

rom manager hasent supported the captivate since 2.1, signature verifacation has been standard since 2.2

there is also a different 3e fix in my sig.

if you are trying to flash a whole rom, there is a sticky for that in Q&A where noobs shoud read. (i wrote the how to flash roms guide) it skips this crap.

depending on what stock rom you have now you could just odin flash a kernel that has cwm built in.

see? lots of ways. go read more. reading newer things would help newer problems.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Yes. Flash a kernel compatible with your current ROM. Make sure you choose a kernel that has CWM baked into it as most of them do. If you are on Gingerbread I would suggest flashing Corn 7.0A.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
SHHH!!! hes not ready yet.
[Captivate Android Development] quixotic_elixer:
Appreciate the sentiments.

It's confusing going through all these threads with contradicting information and trying to filtering which info is new and which are outdated.

The post above stated that they spent hours just to realize that it doesn't work on GB. Which I found relevant to me, thus my question.

in the OP it stays "2)Use a terminal emulator or ADB shell and type.. (or you can use Root Explorer or SGSTools to mount system RW)

Code:

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

This means nothing to me, particularly because this stuff is above and beyond what I know. Granted you may know all this stuff, the ins and outs, and its great that your here to answer questions and try to lead ppl int he right direction. But it sure as **** isn't common knowledge to the average user.

Anyways, here's my situation from what I gather:

-Used the fugumod+odin method in order to root my phone which apparently does not have CWM baked into the kernal. (Superoneclick didn't work for me)

-Tried flashing CWM through ROM manager with no avail running into this issue with 3e.

Came to this OP, don't understand the instructions, and read the last few posts to discover that it 'should' not work for my 2.3.3 GB

What i'd like to get to is eventually be able to back up everything and to start flashing roms.

What my actual questions are:

How do I reverse my root using fugumod method and flash a kernal with CWM?

Since superoneclick isn't working for me, I'd prefer to stick with using ODIN if possible.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
why would you want to reverse root? are you sending it back to samsung? oh! you dont know what you are doing! got it.

if you dont want to read and research, then dont flash your phone. PERIOD.

a year ago i knew less than you, when i first got my android. I READ AND LEARNED MYSELF. i am no "developing god", that has just always known this stuff. I read it and absorbed the information myself. ALL OF US DID. there are however hundreds of lucky individuals that have been walked through every little step, and had their hand held through every thing that you are trying to do. and guess what? its all still posted in the forums. follow someone elses hand holding session if you dont want to learn, and want to randomly screw up your phone because you didnt understand what you were doing, you just follow some random instructions... but hey its your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] quixotic_elixer:
Back on point. Tried the e3 fix on Trusselo's sig since it seems like the most elegant solution with no luck.

It times out when checking for temporary root. There's a 98% chance that it's my fault for putting in USB debug mode, and plugging it in, turning off my anitvirus, and hitting any key

Is my next best alternative to try and flash a kernel with CW baked into it?
[Captivate Android Development] gr8fldanielle:
helllllppp!

I would really love some clarification on how to do this. I upgraded my GT-P6800 to ICS and now I don't have wifi, it shuts down.

I am trying to use a fix that comes in the form of a zip file, but they are not Samsung digitally signed.

I can't root my phone, all the root files are zipped and not Samsung signed either. So I'm trying to do this "unsign" thing.

I downloaded Terminal Emulator and typed in the code int he box, and it 'took' (I don't know if that's good or bad)

I unzipped the zip file and copied the recovery but I can't paste it into system/bin, nor do I see a recovery file already in there.

What am I doing wrong? I need my wifi, and I would love a rooted tablet as well, but I really need the wifi.

Feel free to email me if necessary, walk me through it on Skype, whatever it takes, thanks!

I'm running Dexter's mod. When the A7 goes to sleep, it loses its wifi connection at wake up.

I have to go into "Wireless and network settings" to turn wireless on, and then the A7 gets stuck in the "scanning..." mode, even though I have a real good, strong wifi signal.

I toggle the on/off wifi several times (about 2-3 minutes of playing), and eventually the A7 sees all the available signals and connects immediately to my home network...

I really want to stop trying tablets, but the A7 is really testing my resolve.

This has happened to most everyone that flashes Dexter's mod. It has to do with wpa_supplicant though honestly I don't know the root of it.

I'm running 1.0b and haven't had the issue since I flashed it.
