I update my Captivate to 2.2 Froyo a few weeks ago. Since then it has taken away my Superuser Permission and.completely unrooted the phone. Every "One click root" hasnt worked... I really just want to be avle to sideload unknown applications. Any help would be appreciated.

stock froyo is not rooted, theres many ways to do it search the forums. Or you can load up COgnitions Rom that is rooted. Go to android dev for the thread on he's rom.

Two quick questions. First, what was the most recent software update that my phone wanted to install? It wouldn't work on my phone, and I was wondering if it was important. Second, does it matter if my phone is rooted and has the one click lag fix?
Thanks

The most recent update was JH7 which has quite a bit of fixes. The most likely reason why you couldn't install it was because you're rooted with one click lag fix.
The best/easiest way to get the update would be to just install cognition 2.1.6
It has the JH7 firmware along with voodoo lagfix.
id recommend going over to froyo( cog 2.2 beta 8) its much better than eclair....i dont face any laggs whatsoever.....do a masterclean first....
any1 have any luck rooting their D1 running the new FRG83D OTA from Motorola?

is there a version of this that we can apply without loosing root?
just want a stock version w/ root
I am at android version 2.2 build FRG22D rooted
and just want to get the FRG83D update
similar to what Pete does
http://www.peteralfonso.com/p/downloads.html
after looking at the update list I would only be interested in the new twitter app, new gmail app, and news/weather widget. It seems it might just be easier to find these apk's individually and install on FRG22D rather than deal with the upgrade.
Unless there's something else worthwhile in the upgrade that I'm missing...
I didn't notice anything different after upgrading.

Honestly...I still do it the old fashioned way, and it hasn't served me wrong.
Good old RSD Lite lol.
RSDLite still works.
I know that for the X, z4 still works too. I'd imagine it does the D1 too.
Nope, z4root doesn't work anymore on D1

Did you use the small FRG83D-from-FRG22D file (under the OTA section) or the full FRG83 DeOdexed?
Or is that smaller file just what Verizon sent out?
I successfully rooted my Droid1 using SuperOneClick tonight.Downloaded it from XDA tonight.It reverts back to frg83.I am a complete dummy but the instructions were simple.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
ok, not knowing what was added in Peter's build, I used a rooted stock build posted by metiCkOne (link below) that included busybox and superuser.
I didn't even wipe data, updated on my rooted FRG22D with SPRecovery.
After that I just re-installed my preferred kernel update to get a higher overclock setting.

hi,i used the latest download from peteralfonso.com website -its for stock roms -a star is beside it to let you know its the latest version....just click on deodexed(i used this version*)-it will download to rom manager-flash using clockwork mod recovery-this worked for me -i was rooted on 2.2 before i flashed this and didn't lose root afterwards....hope i answered your question,i'm still new at using android os(coming from apple os)
ps:use your xda app on your android phone-much easier to apply downloads
To everybody trying to root just factory reset and then use a one click rooting method
No ever since i got froyo second update FRF22 i never being able to get 1 click root solution.

Not only does z4 not work on the new OTA 2.2.1, downloading apk files does not work for me as well. Anyone else have major issues with the 2.2.1?
superone on D1 2.2.1
followed the instructions: downloaded and opened on windows, hit run root, 10" later I was on the net on my ipad, laptop, and wii. awesome>
I updated to the latest OS Froyo 2.2 on my Captivate using the ODIN3 One Click Downloader.
How do I properly root my phone so I dont have to go back to 2.1 and then reupdate to 2.2?
Any help?
I was going to use the one click root for the galaxy s phones available on this site.
but it said it was only tested on 2.1 Eclair..
Does that matter or can I use it?
Okay scratch this.. i figured it out thanks to you all at XDA
I rooted my phone finally and now it has a lag super bad. Especially when texting..
Will Voodoo lagfix fix that?
Voodoo will help with overall performance of your phone (faster r/w access)
But.. um usually Rooting your phone doesn't cause Lag...
If your using the stock 2.2 update you would've needed to re-root your phone as it would wipe the phone.
Most custom ROM's already come "pre-rooted".
Alright i got it fixed.. im not sure what happened then cuz i updated it to froyo 2.2 using the odin one click downloader. Then rooted it using software from another post. Then it lagged super bad. I used oclf and its working great now. I couldnt figure out how to install voodoo so i just used that instead.

Verizon software update wants to update from froyo to gingerbread on my gtab, will the root survive and will verizon b able to see the root? If so, can i disable update, it reminds me every 30 mins.
You will lose your root. I don't think vzw can see that you are rooted. I had no problems with my update with my rooted tab. Too get root back you have flash a pre-rooted rom. Right now I'm using "Galaxy Cuded" from the dev section, very stable.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
I too am running the ROM from the Dev section. It comes pre-rooted, thank goodness. Haven't had any issues with it so far either. Very stable.
I've looked around and i cant find any answers. All help is appreciated.
Thanks
I'm in the same boat. Can somebody brilliant help us out?
Have you guys tried superoneclick? It worked on the last update and I'm pretty sure motorola only added 2 minor changes to this update
I've tried it many times with no success but I got it to work with an older version. Now I need to find a good rom lol.

I was having issues with root not working properly with newer versions of Superoneclick last night and got around it by using Superoneclick 1.7 which has the rageagainstthecage method (removed after version 1.7).
Anyone know any good roms for 2.2.3?

Since 2.2.3 is an antiquated version of Android, there are no ROMs based on it. All Droid developers have put their efforts into maintaining Gingerbread (2.3.x) on the phone.
Ok but does anyone why my phone is showing the triangle and exclamation point tin g when I try to reboot into cwmz?

I just sucessfully rooted my wife's original Verizon Moto Droid using superoneclick. It came from the one click thread found here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
The key was to go go the bottom of the page and download the 2.2 version and not the 2.3
Hope this helps
I just got a droid a couple days ago and had this problem. What i did to fix it was used rsdlite to downgrade using the .sbf file for android version 2.2.2. Once at stock android 2.2.2 i rooted(search for tutorials its pretty easy). Once your rooted download rom manager. If you go into rom manager, flask clockworkmod recovery, then browse the downloable roms on rom manager you can find Peter Alfonso's roms. He has a rooted stock 2.2.3 rom. It is a long process but it works for me after not being able to find a way to root 2.2.3. Hope this long explanation helps.

You need to rename a file on your /system partition that overwrites clockwork.
http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...k-custom-recovery-wont-stick.html#post1448841
You will need to remount /system as read-write to do this.
Can you provide more detail? Where did you find the 2.2.2 .sbf file?

Where did you find the 2.2.2 .sbf file? I can't find it anywhere... Are there any other steps? or simply push the 2.2.2 file to phone from rsdlite? Thanks in advance...
I figured it out. I'm running rooted 2.2.1 with a custom rom.
