Typical of every thing I try to do... yet another problem (not being able to do a backup on a stock phone was the first issue--unresolved):

AIO is installed. Drivers installed (!! 25 minutes !!) I conclude that I need to root the phone in order to solve first problem above. I follow the steps. I enable debugging. I click to test it. Says it is not enabled. Dang it; yes, it is.

"Copy root file and reboot into recovery" It works half way--did the install (well. it did SOMETHING) and rebooted phone, but phone never showed the menu a second time so that I could "scroll to restart phone, press power" as instructed.

So, I assume I am rooted but don't know yet. Things didn't flow as was indicated. So I decide to connect phone as a device, try to find the vcd (vcf?) file of my contacts I made on there somewhere, and copy it to the PC.

Nope. Let's make this scary and hard. I get an E and F drive when I plug it in (great), but when you try to open the folder, both say "Insert a disk into removable disk ___(E/F)" .

Great. I somehow knew this would not go smooth. I can't even get out of the starting gate.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Drivers are known to take long on some computer because I had them packaged up with 7zip so it takes time to decompress them. You can always download and install drivers from elsewhere on the forums but I know the program works with mine. Also, if you install drivers it normally is known to leave the device unplugged until after you have drivers installed... I thought that part was pretty common knowledge with all equipment not just phones.

Either way, to do a backup you must be rooted! It says so in the title of the Titanium backup program.

When you rooted your phone, you should be able to see the super user app in your app drawer. If not the repeat the step again. Also, try using a different USB port if it doesn't work correctly (trust me it does make a difference for some users).

The disk drive issue is honestly something I have never heard of on this forum. When you connect the phone and turn on mass storage it should just show up like a memory card.

Also, (just a general curious question not dealing with the problems you are having) why don't you just use google to backup your contacts?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
The drives showing up but not accessible means that you have debugging on but are not in mass storage mode.

You should be able to go to your notification bar and click on the "USB connected" notification and enable mass storage mode; even says "click here to copy file to/from your computer"; which will show the contents of your internal sd card (not the root directories though) and external sd card (if you have one) when the usb cable is connected.

So something is working on the driver end, you just need to read more info or get a better set of instructions.

Also, you can go to contacts, menu, import/export, and export your contacts to your sd card if you don't want to sync with google. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Thanks for this as I didn't know about the external sd card showing up as a drive. Also, I wasn't suggesting to use google to sync. I was just wondering why he didn't use it that's all.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
This program is setup extremely well and easy to use. If you don't like it use the old way. If a step requires you to be plugged in it tells you.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
Thanks for those ideas. Things are better.

It did root even though the process did not do all the steps that were displayed as "what was to be done" (never had to scroll to "restart phone" and press power).

Also, I got Titanium Backup back on the phone by just reinstalling the free version. Their support (titanium.android@gmail.com) responded and advised that the PRO version you install is not actually a version at all--you are really only installing a key to make the free version work as the Pro version. So, you have to leave BOTH on the phone. I don't know if the key was retained when I deleted the free version--and BOTH disappeared...will have to see later. Ran TiBu and it did do a backup.

I don't use google as backup because I have never been able to get my contacts, which were all entered on the phone, to flow UP to google--only get things to come DOWN from google. I have exported the vcf file of contacts to sdcard and have it in dropbox. Requires manual operation to keep up to date though.

Connecting: still big issue. I do have the Settings>Applications> USB set to mass storage (did all along). So I still cannot connect to the phone sdcard as a device to see files and save them off to PC.

"go to your your notification bar and click on the "USB connected" notification "

no such notification is there--either in the very top skinny bar or in the notification pull down. Which place did you mean?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
No probs man, I was just throwing other ideas out there. :) :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
New info on connection as mass storage...

with debugging on, I =do= get the message previously cited in the notifications pulldown, and now can see the sdcard files.

What is contained in the update.zip that is sitting in there? Was that what did the rooting?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Version 2.1 is live on the first page.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post.
[Captivate Android Development] MaverickCoast:
Yeah, realize it's impossible to send commands before you're able to connect via debugging :(

Wish I could remember the error wording verbatim. Seems like it indicated the file was bad. Since then, though, I haven't had any problems.

Don't mean to be nit-picky re. the instructions. Just thought it might make it a little easier for those who are not that familiar with installing ROMs.

Thanks again for your work.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I agree with the instructions. It's just been about a week since I did it and forgot a few of the minor steps so I'm glad you posted it. And I honestly can't think of a way to enable debugging mode without user interaction. If that error comes up again let me know and I'll try to correct it.

EDIT: STICKIED!!! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] nbs11:
Would anyone be interested in me creating a linux/Mac version of this?
[Captivate Android Development] apbamaman:
That would be awesome :D
[Captivate Android Development] wonner:
I just used this (2.0) today. Everything went smoothly and I'll be using this everytime I reflash. Nice work bay_wolf!
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Does anyone know if this works on 1010 and later models? I know the odin 1-click would cause problems on these phones. I think it had to do with them coming preinstalled with jh7
[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
Yes, I've never flashed back to stock because I have version 1012 and dont have an unbrick dongle yet. I'm assuming this will still brick newer versions since it runs existing utilities that have not been changed. right or wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I've heard that the one click ODIN will cause problems for newer versions. In my experience, I have a model 1012 and oneclick worked perfect for me but who knows. And this program uses the OneClick Odin version (for now, I'm hoping to update this to have a few different Odin versions) so if that doesn't work on your phone don't use that part of the program as it's based off of the one click ODIN.

EDIT: Hope that made sense.
[Captivate Android Development] qynt:
Wow looks like a great tool.

I just flashed my first ROM so I'm no expert but was wondering if the step after installing the drivers should be to root the phone then the next step install Titanium Backup and backup user apps and data.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
For my program to work: after installing the drivers you need to continue to step 2 and select the ROM you want to install (my program needs this done at this step to be ready for the later steps). If you are already on the stock firmware (Android 2.1) then you can skip step 3 but it should not hurt your phone to do it. For Titanium Backup, do that before even starting up this program (or just before starting the steps). Check here for using Titanium Backup and when to use it.

EDIT: You can use Step 4 (Root your Phone) at any point while running Android 2.1 and it'll root your phone. So, if you want to backup using Titanium Backup you should root your phone before using it.
[Captivate Android Development] qynt:
I see your point. I just thought it would be nice to use your app to root the phone and then install TiBu that way everything required by a noob would be in one D/L.

Nice work!
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
It's kind of difficult to include those instructions also as it is already quite long. I've added a comment above the download link discussing using Titanium Backup with this program. Basically, use this programs step 4 to root your device then install and use Titanium backup then start from the top of my program and continue until the end.

EDIT: I'll try and implement this in the next release but that may be a week or so as I've got a lot of work for the remainder of this week.
[Captivate Android Development] xionide:
Thanks for the good work. One suggestion though. You should upload this as a torrent.
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
I see where you are coming from dg but there is a lot of hair splitting in the DEV forum in regards to threads and categories. I've had this happen to me myself. The i9000 Boot Screen text thread that was a mixture of confusing info is STILL floating around in the DEV section but as soon as I actually DEVELOPED a batch script and some automation with a video on how to do it, it got canned over to the General section. It can be confusing sometimes so don't be to hard on him... ;)
[Captivate Android Development] NeonMonkey:
This is an amazing sounding program, downloading now.
[Captivate Android Development] NeonMonkey:
Everything except for the root worked for me, thankfully rooting is the easiest step so no big deal. Thank you for this awesome program!
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Can you let me know what partof the rooting didn't work?
[Captivate Android Development] ferman:
Hey bay_wolf I can throw this up on the teamkomin site if you need anymore mirrors.

This is a great tool! Tell everyone who has problems installing stuff to just this.

Good work. :)
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
If you'd like to mirror it on the teamkomin site that'd be great. Just send me the link to the mirror in a PM (I'd prefer not to have it posted in the thread as I'd rather have all download links in the original post for easier access) and I'll put it in the original post.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Delete............
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
It's the clockwork recovery update zip.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
As said, it's the clockwork recovery file, don't delete it though, save it to a directory on your internal and external storage. You can use it whenever you flash to stock to skip the whole download and install Rom Manager for clockwork step. It maybe useful if a flash ever goes awry too, or has in my case before.

Glad you got somewhere too man. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Thats true...however it could also be the Root.zip file that was renamed to "update" :D
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
^ Yep, it depends on the last step the person selected.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
True true, could be, guess only he can see the time stamp and file size, we're in the dark otherwise, lol. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
I rooted the very first thing so that I could get TiBu to work, so that must be the CWM file.

But this brings an interesting question to the table: what files should we keep on the sdcard for 'emergency' purposes. And they can't all be named update.zip; so, if an emergency flash of something is needed, can you rename the one you need from xxx to update.zip? Or do you even have to rename them--doesn't CWM let you scroll to whatever zip of any name you need?

Wait. This isn't AIO specific. Don't answer so thread is not hijacked, or PM me if you wish to answer it (not a critical question anyway).
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
bay_wolf I have a version 2.6 AIO downloaded a couple of months ago, I want to use it, has anything changed with any updates to it? Should I download again?

BTW got the jig and it works perfectly!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] FroztIkon:
bay_wolf,

AIO 2.5 is simply perfect. No need to change anything on it. Thank you for your work.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
FroztIkon 2.6 version is the Rogers version and 2.5 is the AT&T version as a FYI to you......
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Nice work. This saved me. Replacement phone showed up in mail yesterday. It had 2.2 pre-installed, but it was choppy as hell. Just wanted to do a little testing before I chose to keep it. checked 3 button and dl mode, and all was well, or so I thought. Flashed to 2.1 with Odin one click. Good to go, booted fine, and the choppiness was gone. So at that point, I decided to install CM7. Turned phone off and was ready to go into DL mode. Pressed the volume buttons, plugged it in, only for it to show the charging animation. Tried it a couple different ways and still wouldn't go into DL mode. Tried three button recovery and that was gone as well.

Put my sim back in my old cappy, boxed up the new one, and was just planning on telling them it showed up with 2.1 vs the 2.2 like he said it would. A few hours later, I decided to give it another go and tried this program. Now I'm back on CM and couldn't be happier.

One question, though. My original cappy is a 1006 build #. No issues with 3 button or anything like that. My "new" one is a 1008. With this program, I *SHOULD* be ok and not have any issues as long as I use 3 button fix whenever I go to stock, right? The only reason I'm exchanging my phone is pretty much cosmetic reasons.
[Captivate Android Development] yahooserious:
The DL link is for toolbox 2.5..Where is the updated file?
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
That is correct. I currently have the 1008 Batch Model and I can honestly tell you that since i used the Stock Rom with 3-buttons enabled, I have NEVER (knock on wood) have had to use a Jig. Nor do i intend to. The ONLY reason why i couldn't save my phone when i first "soft-bricked" it was because the resolution to the 3 button was not available at the time, nor was the Jig. I happened to flash a few Roms here and there, and yes i did manage to soft brick yet again, but was relieved to find that i could Still go into Download Mode. Use his package or c3po's package and you will be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
2.5 is the current at&t version. 2.6 is for Rogers.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
Yes, baywolf, you might want to make this clear in the changelog in post 2. It

is

confusing for us neophytes.

Just add "(ATT)" to the existing 2.5 line and make an entry for "2.6 (Rogers)".

Just a suggestion.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
Bay_Wolf how do I update the apps ClockWorkMod Recovery to 3.0.1.0?

Thanks,

Chad

Oh, and the USB download Dongle I bought frm you saved me twice.... Worked like a charm!
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Umm... I think for CWM 3.0.x.x you need a gingerbread kernel. But I don't honestly know.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
I thought it was incorporated into your app.... I read that it covers ALL ROMS now with the new version but I'm not sure..... Remember I'm still a newbie at this stuff. AIO still works great (For me) just didn't know if it needed updated. Thanks for the reply...

AIO Video

I just tried to view the AIO Captivate Toolbox Video and I got a message stating "This is a private video". What's gives?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I'm not even sure where you got the video link from but anyway connexion got mad at me for selling USB Jigs and removed the video. Also, we aren't allowed to post his videos anyway since it's against the xda rules.

You don't need the video as it's mostly self explanatory.

If you need any help with the program just PM me or post in here (I answer PMs quicker).

Cog4

Just finished flashing to Cog4 using AIO Toolbox and everything installed ok BUT, I noticed that I have lost the 3g data symbol at the top and acquired a "H" symbol. Has anyone else encountered this and if so, what was your fit?
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
You do realize H stands for HSPA (HSDPA) and is faster than 3G, correct? In other words, it should say H if you are on AT&T as AT&T is 3.5G HSPA.
[Captivate Android Development] Shacho:
I know now, just finished researching the "H" status and to be honesty withl you, I don't really notice a different in speed. I will leave as is for now. Thanks for the info.
[Captivate Android Development] Seanbest:
Malwarebytes just popped up saying Trojan detected, AIO Captivate Toolbox was trying to start, I wasn't even near my PC at the time.

Odd?

Assuming false positive, but why would it be starting and trying to run when I'm not even near my PC?

Root

I rooted my Samsung Vibrant(I had it unlocked for ATT) ages ago and have loved it. I broke my Vibrant three weeks ago.

I bought a new Captivate from the ATT store and have been trying to root it for

TWO

weeks! I have tried so many different ways of rooting and have read that most don't work because my phone came with 2.2 Froyo stock.

Will this work for rooting my phone? Even though its brand new and comes with 2.2 Froyo stock??

I'm getting desperate I've tried to many ways!
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
There is a way to Root Froyo (stock) phones. Just search through...its ALL OVER here. Heck, even Youtube has good tips...lol.

As far as AIO, it gives you the option to root to Stock Eclair (JF6) as well, so your not really limited to JUST the Froyo that came with your phone. Then that way you can "root" normally with Eclair. Of course.....you can always go back and Flash Froyo (stock) anyways, but who prefers stock over Modified these days...?

Word of advice: Assuming.....that ONE of the reasons why you are wanting to root is to try other Roms (99% why people do)....the roms that are built these days come "pre-rooted" (trust me, ive had my fair share of discussions and heated arguements with other guys who "think they know it all) A few of my Favorites Roms:

1) FF (as you can see my sig) Its Bad@$$

2) Cognition

3) Serendipity my Mikey/ Chance

4) SUpernova by Nun <--- funny guy

In conclusion, flashing new roms these days takes care of the Rooting process. Even if you dont find that you have "superuser" abilities....you can always reboot into recovery and "root" through CWM anyways. Life is Grand! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Pudrow:
So I tried to root with AIO as well and it was unsuccessful. I'm guessing ATT or Samsung figured out a way to block it. I've read dozens of forums and watched videos to no avail. They all get block and halfway through the rooting process say "E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted" or "Busybox failed: installation aborted"

I just wanted superuser control and have the same access as I did on my Vibrant.

But AIO did work when I used it to sideload apps so I'll try to flash a rom with it and have to be satisfied :/
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
HOLY F###ING CRAP!! - biggest issue this week!

search "captivate signature verification" you would find your fix.

your fix is also in my SIG because no-one ever searches for it!

its called the 3e fix in my sig.
[Captivate Android Development] Pudrow:
Well I tried the 3e fix as well... Then ran into the problem with the emulator code not working stating 'mount: Operation not permitted'
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Where are you starting from when you get the error message? Eclair or Froyo? I didnt know if you stuck with the Froyo (that came with your phone) or went to JF^ with AIO.

Also, what exactly are you doing...Rooting or trying to install CWM? I have gotten that same message before, then i realized i missed a few steps. Maybe i can try and guide you back.
[Captivate Android Development] Pudrow:
Thanks

I was just trying to root my phone.

And it is finally done! Thanks Spartan and TRusselo.

Turns out the version of SuperOneClick I had doesn't work for the 2.2 Froyo. Someone gave me the SuperOneClickv1.6.5 and said that it worked for his.

I tried it and WHAM! Rooted and had a button to allow third party!

Thanks again

Now its time to experiment with roms. I'll be trying FF first :)

[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Looks like you are trying to use the 3.0 version....it is still beta.

I recommend that you use the 2.5 version....it works. But be sure to uninstall the 3.0 and its associated drivers (don't forget to

reboot your computer

after this) before installing the 2.5 and its drivers. Should work for you after that.

The c++ drivers were for the 3.0 Heimdall version that was in beta.

yes i did. use flash stock with 3button that will load oldin 3 and place tar in pda spot.

I don't know what happen, i click start and it's not running:(
[Captivate Android Development] loonieryan:
I tried the root using AIO 2.6 and it failed because 3e recovery wouldn't apply the unsigned zip. Then I modified 3e recovery and solved that, but the update failed because of a failed assert for "ro.product.device" not matching.

I modified the update script in root.zip to add support for SGH-I896 and it now fails with "status 6".

Any ideas how to root a Rogers stock 2.2 phone with AIO?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Don't know how to do it through AIO Tool. But I rooted when I had the official 2.2 Froyo with this ---> View attachment SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse.zip
