this is odd

solved!!!!

You lost root when you rolled back to rc 29. You'll need to redo the process.

Yep just like he said. When you reload RC29 you lose root.

Yes I know I lost root not worried about that. My phone will not let me install in apk. From the market or the internet. I can down load them but not install them

any ideas
let me clear stuff up. i know i lost root im not trying to flash anything to my phone. ( i have rooted 3 different g1s several times and a couple of different ways i have good idea how this works i think)
i cant install any application on my phone!
i am getting a installation unsuccessful error with all .apks on rc 29.
also this mean i can not get root back do the fact i cant telnet or run any third party app.
so my phone i stuck in original stock hell.

The problem is that rc29 is based on Android 1.0 and currently the telnet app in the market is made for Android 1.5... that's why that, or any other of your 1.5 apps, fail to install.
Try to find a copy fo the 1.0 release of telnetd and try again

sorry thought you were providing a link to one click root thread sorry its been a long night.

ok i think i had a swap partition still on my sd card. and when i flashed back it some how read that as internal memory so i used another card. and it worked like magic. lol gosh im dumb!!! if you ever need anything feel free to ask me i would give some money but im broke college kid. and im about to test and see if get the same results and if i do i would like the word out. because i think one click root app will be short lived (which kind of sucks).

****, do I need to go back to 2.1 to root then? Or am I good to do rooting straight from 2.2?

The basic steps are the same. Flash the recovery image as instructed in that guide, and then flash a pre-rooted kernel like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686627
That's gonna be the easiest method for you I think.

Hmm I did it the way I remembered with the oem unlock, recovery image flash, then the addon zip and it seems to have worked fine. Bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted, still running Froyo, but now am missing my keyboard...
Ah screw it I'm going to go with the FRF50 and see if that pans out and if not there is always a CM'd 2.1 to fall back to.

Try it with the kernel I linked to? It's optimized for FroYo.

And that, right there, is one of my favorite things about this platform. You're free to break the rules and try new things. When something doesn't work, you're not stuck - you can find a way to fix it or work your way around it. I love it

Yup couldn't agree more and 99% of the time all it takes is a wipe of everything and start over, and I love that I can do that. Like I screwed up the root and the OS was booting into landscape mode, for everything. Thank god the files downloaded fast and its back to normal!
By the way, with the root on 2.2, all the applications and what not should still work right? Like marketenabler and setcpu? Speaking of setcpu am I still safe to use the UV and OC kernal with 2.2 or should I avoid that?

I'm running the 2.6.34 OC/UV kernel that I linked you to - clocked to 1113MHz with SetCPU - works flawlessly. No issues here so far, and I've been running that setup since Sunday.

How would I do that then, my Froyo is already rooted, can I just reflash that and be all good or how else do I get that kernal?

If you've got an aftermarket recovery image installed, you can just download the zip file that is linked in that other thread, put it on your microSD card, and flash it from recovery.

Very awesome and it worked fine.
I'm going to guess I am missing a nice chunk of Marketplace apps because this is 2.2, notably some of the ones I bought, but its no biggie; marketplace enabler isn't installing but once again its a small trade off for what I am getting.

Glad it worked for you.
On the Market stuff, look around - I believe there are several threads discussing the issues and possible fixes/workarounds. I'm roaming in the middle of the desert so no Market to be found here or else I'd be able to help more.
Good luck!

questions about rooting captivate

i have been thinking abour rooting my phone for awhile but i have a couple of questions.
1. is there any prep i need to do before i root.
2. will i loose anything if i root.
3. do i need to save my stuff on the computer like pics contacts videos etc.
4. what will happen with my apps settings and all.
5. how do i choose which rom to choose and how do i tell the difference between them.
i think thats all for now thanks in adavance

I had these same questions just three days ago. I was able to root my device with one of the guides here on the forums. Rooting is pretty straight forward and for this portion you wont have to do anything crazy except backing up pictures and essential files should you mess something up.
As for roms, I used the cognition 2.3b8 that can be found on these forums. That and because you can install it using rom manager. Good luck and read the guide. Also check youtube.

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

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".

Just download z4root ..search the forums..its an EASY app that let's you root your phone from the phone...just run the app and click root ...it will reboot and that's it
Sent from my Captivate

The Captivate FAQ site should answer all your questions, and has instructions:

Cheers...

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?

and z4root wont let me do it cause it says my phone blocks apps not in the market place.

I'd run the one found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
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.
Please explain your comment on z4 root. What are you doing that gets you to that comment.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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

thats the one i used and i rooted it i downloaded ti-bu fixen to get ready to back it up. i was trying to do the z4root and i guess i was sideloading it from the page on here and it said that cause i couldnt find it on the market place.

ok so i rooted my phone using the one click root for a mac i did the titanium back up now im looking for custom rom to do not sure what i should do next or how to do it im looking at how to load a custom rom on a captivate from unlockr.com and he is using rom manager and im wondering if i need to go that way or what?

You only have a mac? Do you have a windows pc at your house or near by?
Rom manager is what you are going to use

nope mac only no pc at all is that gonna be a problem? mcord11758 i just wanna say thanks for all the help u have given me since i got this phone. and do i need odin?

HELP lol

i wanted to flash my first rom so i was watching the cognition youtube video. I was rooted previously and didnt do anything but install clockwork.
when i used odin3 to revert to stock, then tried to root again instead of reinstalling the root it brought me to clockwork recovery.
how do i continue to root from there?
app sdcard:update.zip? or install zip from sdcard?

do you have the update.zip to root on ur sd, if so then apply update from sd.

It just brought me back to the manual recovery screen. I guess im destined to not have root access anymore?

If you have clock work then don't need to root. Just flash the rom from there.

Makes sense. How will I obtain superuser permissions in the future then?

My guess is the the update.zip you have has cwm in it not root. After you flash any rom it will be rooted.
no real reason to ever be on stock. it's awful.

Dude it worked! I knew someone knew what they were doing lol.
Thanks so much man! I would donate but im poor atm lol. [email protected] email where i can in the future though!

One quick question...
When I redownloaded rom manager it asked to install the recovery again. Should I install it again even though I can seem to get to it already?
Will it hurt the phone to download it even though I can get into it anyway?

Rom manager is useless...clockwork is baked into all custom kernels. No need for it st all once your off stock.

Won't reinstall packages 2.2

Hey ya'll got a question. I'm trying to put CM7 on my buddies vibrant (2.2 stock) but running into an issue. We got it rooted but when it goes into 3e recovery it keeps giving me the error that it can't reinstall packages even when I put in on the internal memory renamed to Update.zip.
Is there any way to flash CWM through Odin? Or do I need to go back to stock (2.1) and try it that way. From searching it seems like people aren't really having this problem. I can't be the only one.
Any help appreciated
thanks!

have you tried more than just one cwm?
i have several - yellow, green(froyo), blue, purple.
just search for them on the forums they are here.
i think you need green one.
hope this helps.

you need to flash it through clockword recovery (install rom manager and then you can install it through there) and not through stock recovery.

I used this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 to root it.
Option A was the one I used. Option B has the CWR in it but you'll need to have a ROM ready to flash.
IIRC the one (RM) I downloaded from the market was green.

Not really seeing option A or B. IS this option A:
1 – Return to stock JFD (2.1). This is what the Vibrant shipped with. You do this using ODIN.
This is a program for your PC that allows you to flash the stock firmware. Those on a Mac (it's cross-platform too) need Heimdall which I do not use/support.
Wait I see it now. Which one do you recommend I do?

Couldn't resist quoting myself on this one. Sorry and not to be a smartass but...

That is to root it but Option B has CWR in it and then most ROMS will have 3e recovery included. Leaving for the day but I suggest looking in the Q&A section before you get flamed for this over here in the Dev section.

^ yes, thank you.
Not everyone gets my two options... I tried to make it easy. B is MUCH easier and faster in my opinion.

Sorry about that guys I swore I posted this is the Q&A. Thanks for the help as soon as my buddy brings the phone back over we'll try this.
thanks!

Worked like a charm! Thanks guys!
