!!!!!!!!SOLVED!!!!!!!!
So a few months back I decided to so what all the hype was about and got root and JF 1.51. Everything went smoothly until I saw JF quit and no one was making themes for his stuff. I waited a while but decided to reflash with cyanogen because of the nice themes but low and behold I lost root. I tried the one click thing and it always says failed. So I went back to RC29 and did the whole spiel again... the first time I almost couldn't use the thing. Wiped and all went well until I tried to mod a little more in the terminal. I hit su, got a force close from superuser permissions, and it told me permission denied. I have hardspl, the radio with the long number recommended in every post, and cyanogen's recovery. I figured maybe it got corrupted somehow so I tried again from RC29 on up. It worked for 2 days. Superuser permissions worked like a charm until it just stopped working. I flashed again and the same thing. 2 days good and then boom... permission denied. I tried reinstalling superperms but it told me I can't. Is there something I can do wihout having to reflash every 2 days?
Bump?? Not quite a priority but have been working on this for about 3 weeks now and since I've found nothing googling and only similar problems here I was hoping for any kind of response.
Cyanogen has root..

Hopefully that solves your question...
Yeah... I know. It's a patch to keep the security flaw open. I get that part. What I'm saying is that when I use an app to gain root (ie terminal with su, backup for root, or cache to sd and so forth) I get an error saying that superuser permissions needs to close and permission is denied. I want to use su in the terminal emulator. I can't and have never been able to with cyanogen. Worked wonderfully in JF 1.51. Can I reinstall superuser permissions app somehow or bypass it somehow to I can get root? I know the OS has access but I want to have access too.
try this, remove the .zip extension from the file. put it on the root of your sdcard, go to the recovery console and type this
Code:
mount system
mount sdcard
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
(or use [B]mv[/B] if [B]cp[/B] doesn't work)
reboot
Thank you so very much David1171. That did the trick perfectly. You are a god among men. Not only did you solve my problem but you also gave me some insight on the system structure. Thanks a million.

i think that is taking it way to far man but yeah anytime you see a command to move something to /system/app/appname.apk with adb that will work for doing it in the recovery console. also i always do it in the recovery console because it is easier to type mount system then it is to type the command to mount system in the terminal emulator.

I am not sure what rom you ended up on, but with the hardspl and cyanogen recovery image it is nearly impossible to lose root unless you specifically want to.
So if you were on rc29 whenever you took the advice and got "su" working, flash a newer rom, like cyanogen 4.0.4. Dont just use rc29 with the super use whitelist app working because it is outdated and there will be problems for you.

he's on 4.0.4 (from what i ascertain), his superuser.apk got corrupted somehow and wouldn't let him use his root access.

I wrote this basic little application to help out those who are either afraid of the command prompt or simply just don't want to deal with it. Drop it in the same folder as adb and run it.
Feel free to leave feedback or contact me with any questions/comments.

If people decide they like this, I will continue development and add some new features to it.

Thank you, I had rooted mine before using the command prompt, your application save me time on taking off the battery and waiting for reboot. Thanks again.

Thanks for your work, it doesn't go unappreciated =).
Glad to see people are finding it useful. Expect a CityID removal button in the near future.
where exactly do we drop this? what's the path?
As the OP stated, place this program in the same folder as adb, so depending on where your sdk is located it might go in C:\sdk\tools\
what's the adb?
Please bare with me...

Nice App.
Thanks!
What does the app do? Will it help get people into the adb shell? That seems to be the real problem.
When will option be avail to remove cityid? that is big reason for me to root.
also please explain more on where to find adb folder?
thanks for this app cant wait to try it.

well I'm stuck. tried several cards tried all the methods and still no go. It goes to the screen with the red triangle and dead ends. and after that it just says cant open cache recovery command guess im screwed oh well thanx for posting all the steps you guys went through effen pisses me off though
Has anyone used this and has it worked. I've tried every method on every site and nothing, I'm going to try this when I get home from work.
Hey guys, sorry if there's been any confusion.
This app will not make ADB start up in recovery. That's still something that we still have to achieve to get any of this to work.
Peronally I used the Kingston 4GB Class 4 card and it works pretty much almost every single time I just do a simple adb reboot.
This application was designed to make the rooting process a quick and painless command prompt-less process after you achieve adb running in recovery mode. I used this on my friend's Incredible and the rooting process took me literally 30 seconds to complete.

Does the red triangle with the exclaimation point mean it has failed, or do you wait further?
Thanks,

I used a SanDisk 2GB works everytime.
After your in recovery mode and have clicked the Step 3: button "Check for ADB In Recovery".
If you get the "sorry adb not running" message try this:
Unplug your usb cord from the device and remove your battery.
Replace your battery and hold down the volume- key and press the power button.
Highlight Recovery as soon as possible.
Plug the usb cord back in and press the power button at the same time.
Note: If you hear a noise when you plugged in the usb cord before you see the black Recovery screen you did it wrong.
Click the Step 3: button one to five times.
If it doesn't work try it again or try a different SD card.
Touch thanks for all the help Bro. My incredible is just a stubborn ***** LOL Great job on the windows app

[GUIDE] One Click How to Root the Wildfire with Unrevoked 3.21
Hi all,
As posted the other day, I have managed to get a temporary software-only root solution that will allow you to run some applications that require su. I am currently in discussion with some of the unrEVOked team to take this a step further and get the NAND protection defeated, clockworkmod etc. For now, though, I present an extremely simple, low risk, software root. Yes, it's not quite 1-click (it's 1-click once you've done the initial steps), but it's pretty easy.
Prerequisites:
You must have adb working.
Root instructions:
Step 1: Download and install Superuser.apk from the Market. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 )
Step 2: Download my SoftRoot package ( http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/SoftRoot.apk )
Step 3: Execute from a command prompt in the directory where you downloaded SoftRoot.apk:
Windows:
adb install SoftRoot.apk
Linux:
adb install ./SoftRoot.apk
Step 4: Run the SoftRoot application that is now installed.
The application will now crash. Wait 2 seconds, close it and you are rooted.
You will need to re-perform stage 4, only, each time you reboot.
Source code (all GPL):
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/DoRoot.java
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/R.java
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/rootshell
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/exploid.c
To compile Java app, you will need to create a project that has su, rootshell and compiled exploid inside the resources/raw folder.
Works great. Thank you.
Now I have access to paid apps easily via Market Enabler (v3.0.8). I've missed them.
Now I just hope Spotify will fix their playback issues og Wildfire (and Hero). THEN life will be good again.

Hey Martin Awesome dude .. also where did u find contact info of unrevoked team.. I think Koush is here on xda.. it would be really nice if you can PM me ..
Thanks
Hi, Martin awesome work.. its working superb on my
0.802, 1.14.405.2, VodafoneCZ
thx man!
Excellent work, thanks Martin! So this means I don't have to follow anything in your other thread, I can just use this? Found it difficult to understand all that stuff!
Also, when downloading the Android SDK, as I'm about to, do I need to get the 2.1 component package as well, being as the Wildfire comes with 2.1 on it? Very new to the world of Android, so your help would be much appreciated!
normally you just need the adb not the whole SDK.
Simple to use :
download SDK :http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
extract the zip(or tgz if Linux) where you want
go to tools
copy the SoftRoot.apk in this dir
open a cmd prompt
type adb install ./SoftRoot.apk
Install the SuperUser.apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828) or QR code :

all the best my friend, YOU ARE THE MAN
what's the method you are going to try to bypass the protection >> I'm interested in knowing the mechanism of the NAND protection, how it's work
Well, from the fact I was told to make a clockworkmod recovery image, it seems that the route is going to be to get a custom recovery image booting which will allow full access to the system and then flash from that.
TBH, this is where it starts to get risky ;/ If people wanted to start pooling together a disaster fund should the Bricking Gods not smile favourably on me, I'd be a lot happier! Haha!

When you say "the system aborts", I think you are referring to the fact the application crashes.
Which was in my original post.
It should still be rooted, despite the crash.

Go to a terminal and type:
su
If the phone then prompts you to allow root, allow it and then type:
id
if it says uid=0 then you are root.
Let me know and I'll make a post in the Legend forum too.
So I thought I had rooted my phone (following instructions from - free download blog (How to Root Motorola Milestone on Android 2.1 thread) only difference was that rather than pressing the x button and power button (it didn't work for me) I pressed the camera and power. Then it installed the update.zip package, and rebooted.
Then I proceeded to download Milestone Overclock.. and it tells me I'm NOT rooted. Is there a way to check? Have I majorly messed up something?
Please do help. I'd really like to know what this bootloader and root access difference is. If I download an app and want to put it on my phone, which one do I need?
Thanks in advance!
Ok, change of question. I managed to get it rooted with that 1 click root thing. It worked brilliantly.
My question is with Milestone overclock. How do I get the module for it so it will work? It won't let me move the bar at all right now, and it is rooted now.
1.fist make sure you have the su command installed on you phone
-get an application called terminal emulator

}
-type su on it
-you should get a # as a response
-congrats you have su
2. you must have a good app to manage root on your phone
-check of you have an app to manage your su
-if you don't or yours is not working i recommend you use this one http://www.appbrain.com/app/superuser/com.noshufou.android.su
-now this app will manage winch apps get super users rights.
3.your device should be ready to be overclocked
-go to your milestone overclock app click on load module
-you should be prompted by the super user app if you want to give this app permision to change the system.
-select allow.
-some super user aps might need you to close and re open the app before it works properly, so i recommend you close and open the app again.
-after going to the app menu use the load module option you should see the apply and the bar will become usable.
-select the frequency and and press apply (i recommend no more than 1ghz)
-you are done ♪
4. the milestone overclock app goes back to its previous state after the phone as been rebooted (turned off and on)
I will tell you how to set the app to start with the phone so you don't have to do it manually after i get back from work
ohh yeah i also forgo if your device fails to show # when you use the su command then its not properly rooted try this app
http://blog.23corner.com/2010/08/30/universal-androot-1-6-2-beta-5/#more-407

Thanks for all your info mate!
Basically I used androot to 1 click root my phone. Then when I loaded the module, so allowed it to access super user, it restarted my phone. So it didn't really allow me to OC the phone...

It doesn't need to restart your phone. Something's wrong.
I got that emualtor thing and got a # as a response. But everytime I load superuser it restarts the phone automatically.
Even after the restart it doesn't allow me to move the slider. And if I try to reload the module, it restarts again.
*bump* guys.. but I really need someone to help me out just in case I've done something terribly wrong. Why should loading the superuser module keep restarting my phone? And once it does restart, why does it keep restarting the phone if I try to do the same thing, and why is the slider not movable yet?
Phone is rooted because I ahve been able to install apk files from the sd card (copying from computer).

ok in case you have done something wrong i highly recommend yo do this
1. restore your milestone back to the original rom (just in case the su binary is broken)
here is the how to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
-I highly recommend you use appbrain to save the apps you have installed
-I highly recommend you use Firefox and a plugin called downthemall because you can put the MD5 check sum on it and make sure your file downloaded properly
2. use the root tool i told you on the previous post and root the phone
that should have your phone properly rooted and updated
and yes not restart is needed for the root permission to be granted
Remove Milestone overclock
Unroot
Reset
Root
Install SetCPU
Install Milestone overclock
Load module
Set at 800
Also, I don't mean to sound rude but you have no idea what you are doing nor what Root is.
I highly recommend that you do not Root your phone until you read up and understand what you are doing.
Overclocking your phone too much could kill it. You could be playing about in the terminal and remove something you shouldn't and end up bricking your phone.
Phone is rooted because I ahve been able to install apk files from the sd card (copying from computer).
You can do that without Root...
Nah I think I'll push it to 1.33ghz so I fry my phone lol
Either way it works now, put it to 800mhz, might do a bit of testing. Thanks for your help guys!
So i know im rooted, through Terminal Emulator, cause it gives me a #
but when ever i type adb shell in abd i get $..
My device is recognized and i can push and pull.. i think but whenever accessing the shell, i cant..
help?
You're typing su?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
typed su in TE = #
but in ADB, adb shell = $
which i think is the same thing just different commands.
im goona run the ruu and see if that helps, cause thats really weird to me
ran the latest ruu and got the classy 140 error, yay =]
i hate phones sometimes lol
I'm pretty sure that adb shell should just give you the $. When you open terminal emulator you start there already because you're on the device. If you want root after getting in the shell you type su. Maybe I'm mistaken.

When I rooted the phone I used for my screenshot I used z4root as well, so I dunno why it's automatic for mine and not yours :/
You do have a custom recovery flashed correct?
Sidenote
On my phone I get error 140 as well, but it's because of the s-off bootloader so I'm not worried about it - If I need to unroot, I do so through the bootloader using a HERCIMG.zip of the stock sprint RUU.

This may or may not help.
Are you using the latest update from sprint?
if so you will actually lose root on reboot. Try an earlier ruu and do not apply the update. That's what I did when I had the same thing happen to me.
Hope it helps.
just fixed it, regaws methos doesnt install a busy box, so i downloaded one off the market and i was set. but i also looked in to your method and that helped as well, thanks =]
Cool glad you got it sorted. It's been ages since I have used adb.
[dpeeps74]
i use it, to install apps directly, and if something goes screwy, its your saving grace. thats only why i wanted it haha
Dav I suggest unlocking S-OFF as well from my understanding that would almost make our phones brick-proof aside from screwing things up when flashing the radio...

one click root simply does not work - saying e-signature verify failed.
copied the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin into sdcard.
supposedly that should open the terminal emulator in super user mode so that i can mount the /dev/block/st19 into /system as a RW mode, which enables me to copy the other files such as superuser.apk into /system/app folder.
Howeer rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin does not seem to do the job. instruction says after 'spawn child' message restart the terminal emulator which should have turned into # command prompt rather than $.

This is probably because rageagainstthecage as well as droiddream are trojans that are labeled as malicious. They probably did something to block these with the newer captivates. Just plug up and click Root under the Universal tab.

You can try to flash a kernel that roots automaticaly, like fugu, via Odin. Or you can flash a kernel via Odin that have CWM integrated, and then install an update.zip root file via CWM.

or better than that, you can flash some custom ROM that already is rooted. One that I remember that has 1 Click .EXE Install is AtomicFusion 1.0, I think it will be the simplier. And after this you can flash basicaly any other rom on top of it via CWM.
OKAY, i WILL try these you guys mentioned and get back. One thing is that I also would like to be reversible to be in unrooted state. Thanks,
At the time that I was on the official Froyo KB1, the only thing that worked for me was Super One Click version 1.6.5

Before you try a 1 click I recommend you use one without bootloaders to make sure your phone likes 1 clicks...
Super one click is not the same as Odin one click bro.
And The only issue with one clicks I've seen is with the one click to jf6 causing bootloops.

As if its just JF6 or not My point is before you go using 1 click with bootloaders try one with out them.

Jfs one click will softbrick newer build models. Mine is 1103 and not only did it brick me but it disabled the 3 button combos forcing me to make a jig.
And yeah i root froyo with superoneclickroot using psnueuter exploit. For gb i just do the fugu kernel.swap method with odin.

This is probably because rageagainstthecage as well as droiddream are trojans that are labeled as malicious. They probably did something to block these with the newer captivates. Just plug up and click Root under the Universal tab.
Thank you, this worked.

Having said that, i still think even the newer model still sux. Gps is markedly better but phone response to screen touch is excessively sluggish, i feel like working on 20yr old 386 pc, touch the keyboard and wait for seconds for the letter to appear on screen. Now i dw-d installed 30-40 apps since new it is running at a speed of a tortoise.
Considering what would be best performance alternative to captivate.
