It's called Easy Root. It supposedly uses some new BlueTooth Exploit.
Apparently this is a full milestone root that allows overclocking tethering and stuff, I will get back when I try it and confirm it works.
In the mean time, has anyone tried it?
I think it will work. I used universal androot and everything worked fine with it.
I use it, it works fine.
i dont see whats so hard about swapping .sbf files and dropping an update...
are people really too lazy to get things done anymore?
..everyone seems to just want an "easy button"
Personally I don't think things should be too easy...sometimes people do things without fully understanding what they're doing, then show up for warranty service/tech support and are kicked out of the room

This has nothing to do with the simplicity, and everyone to do with Donny's OS. He's exclusively a Mac user, which means there's suddenly a lot of things that are so hard about swapping .sbf files, seeing as Motorola decides that the third largest computer producer in North America doesn't need RSD Lite. He's looking for a one-click root on recommendation from another thread in this forum.
You should consider all possibilities before judging someone for their methods.

Thanks a lot man, it's true thoughh! I am actually pretty tech savy, I used to have an iPhone and decided to switch to android because I got bored. I just didn't realize there was little Mac compatibility. I am still just trying to figure this whole thing out
Is this supposed to be a full root? as in the milestone kernel?
Regards, PK
I have no idea what you mean by "as in the milestone kernel" as I'm sure you know, we cannot touch the Kernel.
As by full root, I believe this is "Level 1" root (?) - though I maybe corrected on this.
Sounds like you know exactly what I am talking about. Yes I was talking about what you refer to as "level 1" root. Long-shot & wishful thinking but a fair question don't you think? "Root" on every other phone I have means just that.
Overwhelming yes, but "never"? Know how many times the frigging pentagon gets compromised everyday? This is a frigging cell phone, nasty encryption yes but there's more than one way to skin a cat...who knows.
Anyway the points moot, if the chattering class is on target the milestone "kernal" is already out there being fiddled with...supposedly on it's way.

It works - easy peasy.

Very true , sadly there was no big interest from dev/ hackers to succeed at doing this , now this phone is already considered an old phone ( 11 months old) so chances are 'cat' will be out of the bag and nobody will care anymore ..
I like the device enough to consider the XT720 if the fastboot trick would allow us to boot custom kernel ... sadly I will probably be on the hunt for another TRUE DEV phone this time .

..i boot from fully off, to fully loaded in about 9 to 12 seconds... restart only takes about 34 seconds to complete the cycle. Not sure why everyone is flipping-shiz about this fast-boot thing. Just look around and try some roms and edit them up some.
The TelusLite v5 rom boots around 15 seconds by default. You can lower it by adding in mem-hack and overclocking it.
I understand that there is a locked bootloader issue. I'm not much on software and programming but i do understand that some devices share locks with the battery.
The Sony PSP had a bootlock through the battery. The only way to unlock it so you could hack it would be by opening the battery and forcing the battery to put the device into service mode so it can unlock the PSP bootloader.
Using the same idea, there may be possibility that the bootloader can be locked by means of hardware. You're still seeing this in some modern devices that people hack.
Just an idea for developers if they would like to try it..i know this would mean sacrificing a battery ($40 or so). But Motorola was known to do weird **** when they were working with apple.
This... should be in general section...
well this post is for development reasons.
I think you're wrong, only because t0bld (sorry if I spelled the name wrong) has been hard at work, and relatively close to finding something.

the battery has a small eeprom which can be overwritten with proper hardware access, in the case of the psp I believe that setting it to a certain sequence (or maybe it was all zeros, i dont remember) made it read the update off the memory stick.
I don't think we're looking at a similar case here, there isnt any sign of a hardware based lock, we've seen lots of software based keys, and I dont think that this would be the ONLY tegra 2 device to have a battery hack possible, as hardware across the board with other devices is similar.
Furthermore, the reason this is irrelevant is that on the PSP we were trying to bypass the update's signature to write our own files, after which there was no more security. That isn't the case here, we can write files, but without proper signing, the device will brick instead of booting unless we can disable the signature check or sign our own files.
And no, I dont have an atrix, nor will I be developing for it (as far as I know)

just thought of bringing an idea out since so far its been failed attempts...these new batteries run sequencings for the specified device, just thought since most attempts have been a fail, maybe Motorola locked the bootloader through methods of hardware and if so the battery would be the first place to look in...just an idea.
My Reasoning:
When booting, the device searches for its drivers...battery syncing with phone then managing the in/out sequencing to turn on microphone, speakers, antenna, etc..very similar to a computer. My point of the battery being possible is that when booting if a specific surge in a string of the chip may cause the device to fault in service mode...thats what the pandora battery did to the psp..it forced a certain amount of voltage to the cpu to cause service mode...people do a similar method with a regular tower to force the CPU to activate the SSE3 string for installation of Mac OS X....using the same principle it may be possible.
I'm going to give this idea a try, i'm going to order a BH5X battery to save some money, the BH5X and 6X architecturally built the same...i'll post back what happens with this method.
Don't waste your time unless your that interested. You will have to read out the data on the battery and all it is a current voltage and temperture data reading at that point in time you read it. Oh it uses i2c btw. Let us know what other data lurks on the chip.

Pandora Battery
Here's a link on how to make a Pandora Battery for those interested.
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/620243
I'm a bit skeptical on this to work, the chip should only work as a way to read amperage, voltage and temperature data.
As I know it is done by software calculations because into the battery there isn't any hardware temperature sensor.
Anyway, if anyone can disassemble the battery and make a good photo on the connector circuitry I can search the chip reference and see what kind of integrated it is, an eeprom that has data on it or a simple sensor so that we'll be able to say if this is theoretically possible or not.
And note that if there's an eeprom it wouldn't imply that modifying its data will let us go into a special flashing mode: all the bootloader functions and ALL the software mode are accessible on the device simply pressing a sequence of buttons. The only thing you can hope is that if it is containing data you can crash something while booting, skipping the signature check functions, but this is nearly impossible: the PSP bootloader has got a function that detects a Pandora battery. If it detects it then skips the signature checking process. If not, that won't be skipped.
All this, while Moto's RSD BL probably hasn't got any function to do this.
My only experience in signature skipping is on HTC bootloaders: if it's detecting a goldcard (SDCARD with a calculated code) or an HTC MEGASIM (containing some data) it'll skip the sig check and behave as SUPERCID. But Moto is a whole new story compared to HTC's easily crackable bootloaders.
But hey, as we know, anything could work. The "battery method" hasn't been tested and I think noone looked at it... even in Sholes family.
We'll see.
Pretty sure that Motorola wouldn't let us have it so easy, but there are battery monitor chips that have a little bit of nonvolatile memory that would make sense to be in this battery pack, like this one.
I don't care of what hypotetically CAN be in the battery.
I care of what there actually IS.
...and you too should care only of what actually is in there...
So, waiting for a photo
Amazing in the developers meeting they just skirted around the bootloader unlock question and posted to put it on the forum. Unbelievable

Send me a battery and I'll tear it down for you. I'll even hook it up to my Bus Pirate to probe the controller. I don't have an Atrix anymore, just following the battle at this point.

Again....pandora battery was not a volt mod or anything else, the battery had an eeprom that was read and checked, and I'm relatively sure that we know that there is no such string on the atrix batteries.
P.S.-I'm referring to softmodding the memory on the batteries, the hardmod seems unnecessarily time consuming (and leaves you with a battery that cant operate as a normal one anymore) unless you were in a jam.
Hi,
I own a Captivate on Rogers (Canada).
I had the ROM Firefly 2.6 (or 2.4) and decided to change to something quicker or at least different.
I decided to put Cyanogen 7 on it, because many people told me to.
I succeeded in installing Cyanogen and it worked great, easy to use, fast, ultra fast reboot, nice looking... but not all the software I was looking for.
So I decided to change again to a JVQ SIMPLY.
Put it on the SD, move it to sdcard via Astro under Cyanogen and reboot in recovery mode to install update from sdcard.
It wrote that it was ok, and needed to reboot.
Now the only thing I have is "booting" from
- the very first screen with Galaxy S I9000 on it to
- a second one with Galaxy S Cyanogen(mod)
I can access the screen with the little android guy in the public works sign, yellow, with Downloading... and Do not turn off Target!!! (did it trying hard reset).
I couldn't reboot with 3 buttons (tested many methods), the one with Odin, I never ever succeeded with that one, and it continues changing from a screen to another without stopping but if I remove the battery of course.
What can I do from there?
Thank you for your help... again...
Just for clarification, did you do the Odin One-Click to stock? If you can get to the download screen (the yellow sign / "Do not turn off target" screen), you should be able to flash back to stock.
I tried the Odin 1-click, but I think that it won't work right now because I can't access the administrator rights (from work).
I must try from home tonight.
Will it remove everything like the fact it is root?
Thank you for your answer by the way.
The lack of admin rights is very possibly why it won't work. There's also the chance that without admin rights, you're not able to install the samsung drivers. Either way, waiting until you get home sounds like a good idea.
You might be able to do the Heimdall one-click without admin rights, but it would probably be wise to read up on that one first as it's in Beta right now.
The one-click to stock will put your phone in the state it came out of the box, but leave all your personal files on the phone. You will have Eclair 2.1, unrooted, straight as it came from (in your case) Rogers. Any pictures, music, etc you saved on your internal sd card (not the microSD) will still be there, but you'll have to re-root and reinstall any rom you want.
Ok, so I tried different Odin (one click) I found here, and the last one, from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126704&highlight=odin
I flashed the PIT only, because I didnùt know what to put where... bad idea, now my phone doesn't switch on.

Sorry to have to tell you this, but it looks like you might have fully bricked yourself.
If you are still under warranty, you can try to send it in for warranty service. If not, or if you aren't comfortable taking that route, look for a member named connexion2005 (or mobiletechvideos on google), who can do JTAG service for you for $50.
The JTAG thing is the special cable made from special resistor, right?
Or do you mean it is hard break and only expert can do something?
Thank you very much for your help and your support.

You're thinking of a Jig, which is a set of resistors that kicks the phone into download mode.
Unfortunately, you need JTAG, which is a special service that rewrites the bootloaders to the phone so that it can boot normally. That's something that you either need to be fairly knowledgeable about electronics to do yourself, or something you'll need to send in (to Samsung or mobiletechvideos) to have fixed.
Yeah I thought of a jig...
Ok, I will try the warranty, perhaps it is so much messed up, they won't find anything...
I will let you know.
See you.

Good luck - hopefully your next time around with custom Roms will go better.
I did many, many things with WInMo and never encountered any brick (sometimes I was close to the cliff, but never fell).
Since I have this Captivate, I not sure to really like it, I am fond of android either, and I don't take enough time to read carefully each post...
I think it is time for me to take an iphone...
Although you could do that, I think you'll find if you give yourself a little time with Android you'll come to really like it.
Don't get me wrong - the iPhone is a well made product. But it is one thing, and only one thing. Android devices can really be anything you want.
But that's my opnion. Do with it what you will.
People like you are gold, taking time to help newbie with the always same questions, don't selling android is the best (other are selling ios is the best), ...

Thank you. I'm just trying to repay the many favors everyone else here on the board has done for me in the past.
Definitely look around - if the Captivate isn't working for you, there's plenty of Android phones that are every bit as good. I've also had good luck with HTC phones in the past, and Motorola's not bad, either.
And yes, Apple is expensive. Can't argue with you on that one.
This might be stupid question but, is your battery charged ?
Hi,
aww.W.T.F, I hope so yes... it was on the usb for hours... you put me a doubt... I need to check now!!
I asked Rogers for warranty, they charge $35 for an exchange, and 5 days to wait, I think this is a little bit too much. But I will do it.
What I discussed with a guy is that I will finish my current subscription with Rogers and take the HTC Sensation with Virgin... Another try with android, to follow jmtheiss.
I will continue to let you know about how it goes.
If my profile is closed tonight, this will be because I will be too ashamed because I had an empty battery...
P.S. Ok it is not the battery... I'm waiting for my new one and will send this one to warranty (I'll see what they can find or not...).
i hard bricked my captivate and i took it to a lab near my house that fixing smartphones.
i dont really understand what the explained me but they said they can fix the phone but there is 50% chance that the procssesor will be locked and then the phone is will be completly dead.
i forget to ask them what method they going to use but this is sound normal?
i read few things about those methods but i never saw some one the talking about that 50% chance .
there is really a chance that my phone will be locked? or they just dont know how to fix that adn they are preparing me for the worst O=
Jtag requires to solder 6 very small spots. It is possible to damage it. To be honest Try to get Unbrickable Mod since it wont ever hard brick again. At any rate contact Adam (one of the devs in Unbrickable mod) or Josh (mobiletecvideos.com) and get them to do it. I know Josh had something like 99% success rate on Jtag. Unbrickable mod is easier to get as well.
No offense to that shop but if they are giving you a 50% chance they are not experienced with advanced recovery on Galaxy S phones. As mentioned UBMOD or JTAG are great recovery methods for a bricked Galaxy S phone. Both achieve the same goal and UBMOD adds the benefit of recovery via USB if you re-hard-brick it and are familiar with using Linux to use the Team Hummingbird resurrector. Contact my self about either recovery or Adam about UBMOD. Also the above statement is correct literally 99 out of 100 Captivates are repairable when hard bricked. They have the highest rate of success in my opinion as the hardware is very solid and typically doesn't fail...
the problem is that im from israel and the shipping will cost alot.
i try to take it to another store.
thanks.
Ok well good luck. Once again though, I'd check to ensure they are familiar with the model and either procedure.
Okay, obviously I was rooted. Everything was great. I went into CWM, when I was going to flash a simple script mod (which every phone can use) well I accidently clicked off into my SGII files (which of course was stupid of me) and it installed fluxii kernel for SGH-i777. (intern flashes a custom recovery for the xx tweaker that that particular kernel uses. Of course, I didn't even realize I had done it, just went to Reboot Now. Now, I've got no Download mode, no bootloader, no anything, just blackness, I feel as if there is a simple key process or way to somehow get it fixed so I can flash it back via ODIN, but with all the confusing button combo's and ideas I've found so far, and all the ' types of bricks ' I dont know the best route about doing this, whomever helps me get my phone unbricked/unsoftbricked/superbricked/cute bricked, which ever version (assuming its possible) I swear on my life I will mail them a 32GB HP touchpad.
(I have 3 and only need 2) so, I hope this in some way will get me an answer soon.
I cantbelieve I pulled a n00b. No more not moving data from SD cards for me ever again...

It might be worth a go man. I would reccomend having it plugged into a computer and keep trying to turn it on even if the screen doesn't turn on and see if Odin picks anything up. Its not going to hurt your device anymore :/ you could always go to a hardware store and buy a mini USB and a 300k resistor and trying to make a jig yourself if that unbrick doesn't work (which I don't think it will)

Fixed. I'll write up a XDA guide, and no I didnt use that silly guide. I used a trick the stupid guy at samsung tech support told me about something on the back of the phone will write up in a bit.
it involves a paperclip, and a hidden compartment behind somewhere where most would never dare stick anything, its rather a hidden reset button or something I wouldnt recommend it to anyone however...if someone finds themself in a bind id gladly help, but its that way or shipping it back if done wrong basically I just got lucky.
so CLOSE THREAD PLEASE THANKS
