I have searched the forum, and google about this error message, and have found a few other people who have gotten it but no one has responded to them. So if there is a fix out there, I'm sorry, I was not able to find it before posting. Thanks for helping me out!
This is my phone information, out of the box:
Firmware version: 2.1-update 1
Baseband version: I897UCJH7
Kernel version: 2.6.29
[email protected] #2
Build number: ECLAIR.UCJH7
I tried the One-Click Root in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304.
It gave me the Superuser permissions app (with a android skull-and-crossbones icon). I could open this app, there were no apps listed within it, and I could access the settings, but if I tried to access the log screen it gave me the following message:
"Sorry! The application Superuser Permissions (process com.noshufou.android,su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again [Force close]".
I unrooted it with the same One-Click method, and it removed the Superuser App. Then I tried the method listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736491#. this method gave me the Superuser permissions app (with a ninja icon), but this time I can't even open the app. It gives me the same error listed above as soon as I open it.
I then tried to unroot again, using the One-Click method that worked before, but it did not remove the Superuser App.
So where am I now? I'm not exactly sure what has happened to my phone at this point.
have u checked at any time if u had superuser rights??? I've rooted my cappy several times and had not opened once the super user app
download terminal emulator from the market and type "su" (without "") and see if it gets permission...

I downloaded the android terminal emulator, and typed su as directed, and got the same error message as listed in my OP.
Use the one click method again. Download something harmless like drocap2 which us an app that requires root to take screen shots. Open app. If you are rooted the app will ask if you want to grant super user permission.

Excuse me? I thought the whole point of rooting is to get superuser permission. That is, like an administrator in Windows. With superuser permission, you can use apps that are otherwise blocked, such as titanium backup. And you can use custom recoveries to flash other custom roms.
When I rooted my phone, I got superuser app with the skull and cross. Anytime I use an app that requires superuser permission, it will record so in the superuser app.
I think you already had root the first time. Now, I don't know what you have done to stop the phone from being rooted again.
Did the One-Click root again, this time it said it couldn't find the update.zip. I really don't understand what's going on.
Edited to add: When I go to Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications - Superuser is not listed there. It is on the main applications page, but I cannot open it - it gives that error message.
Tried to do the one-click root again, for the I-don't-know-how-manyieth time. I watched the green dos screen very closely, and it said something about not being able to update root... then it quickly went to the blue screen that said I was rooted and the phone would be rebooted, select reinstall packages, etc.
Hoping the more information I can give will be helpful.
Why don't you test the phone. Go to market and try to get an app that only works if you have root (i.e. with superuser status). I would suggest getting Titanium backup. If you can get it and can get it to work, then you have root.
Edit: Just read your last message. I think you did not do the last step: Get the phone in recovery mode (holding updown volume switch and on switch at the same time). It should lead you to blue screen and then you have to select update.
I did get to the recovery mode. The one click program reboots the phone directly into recovery mode, but I also used the volume and power key method to get it to recovery mode when I tried the manual copy of the update.zip method.

But on recovery move (blue color), did you use vol down to move the highligted line to "reinstall packages" and then use power key to select it? Otherwise, I am at lost as to what you did.

I was worried I might have to restore to stock. Thankfully I haven't made too many customizations...
A few questions:
I have purchased one application from the market - will it let me re-download this application after restoring?
Also, what difference would flashing an older version than I originally had, and then updating back up to my original version make? Sorry if that's a noob question, I just would like to understand why I can't or shouldn't just restore to stock and then try rooting again from there. I ask this because I just got done reading the "How to: Samsung Kies Program" thread, and it seems there are no end to the problems people have encountered using that program, so I would like to avoid having to use the program if possible.
Thanks so much, everyone, for your help!

Ok, I tried to install the drivers for Windows 64bit and it says it was "not successfully installed". I downloaded some drivers recently from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929 when I originally did the one-click root. Could it be "not successfully installing" because the driver was already installed? I didn't pay enough attention the first time I installed them to notice if it wasn't successfully installed that time either. I don't want to mess up my phone by not having everything right.

Close Odin. Run Odin as administrator and plug your phone into a rear usb port, you need to plug into a usb port that is close to the motherboard because Odin needs a lot of juice, it won't work for most from any other ports. Put your phone in download mode and try it again.

MY Phone Condition:
My phone was previously install with voodoo rom and use clockwork recovery to restore to my stock rom that i backup and it crash half way.
My phone was hardware lock this mean no matter how i press the volume and power button , i will never get into download mode. non of the method posted work !
My phone cannot use "adb reboot download" because there is no OS and it was stuck in the recovery loop.
It does not have clockwork recovery because i formatted my internal sdcard
If i do have clockwork recovery and i use restore image or install new from zip , i still stuck in the recovery mode after reboot several times.
My phone does not mount to internal sdcard because i don't even know what i did on this part.
I believe i screw up my partition of the phone.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You need the Samsung USB driver and you can get it from Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
First Part
1. Download update.zip from the link below. This was post by another member.
The post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804305
2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command
3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>
4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.
6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.
7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission
8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.
9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.
10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.
If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom. Go to the Second Part
Second Part:
If you get black screen with only 4 light on the bottom after flashing from Odin.
Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
There should be T959-PDA.tar,T959-CSC.tar and T959-Phone.tar within the package.
Check "Re-Partition" , "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" check box. Use the PIT 0512 version. Use "PDA", "PHONE" and "CSC" from the link above.
After flashing with Odin, you will loose the download mode. repeat the first part and you are good to go.
Here is the link on rooting the phone

You figure it out after all. I already stated the condition of my phone ! My phone was pretty bricked at that point. There is way for me to push any files into the phone because i don't have permission and my phone will not go to download mode by using the volume button. It just stuck at recovery mode.
There are guide out there teach you to use "adb push download". This method only work if you are in your phone and you turn on debug mode. My phone crash at the clockwork recovery bootloader. Then i formated my internal sdcard that hold the clockwork. next i push a stock update.zip that does not have su and busybox so i lost the capability to push anything into the phone.
no download mode , no permission, no sdcard --> You tell me how can i use the method that post few week ago ?

unfortunately, i was one of those careless people to brick my phone via Voodoo.
Firstly, i tried to "FLASH" the disable_voodoo zip file via Clockwork, i put it in root, and never created any folders. i knew i had to disable voodoo before flashing but my steps were wrong.
sadly enough, my phone was also HW locked, so i got it exchanged. now im not using voodoo YET and i my new vibrant can handle OC and has the recovery/download mode via buttons.

i use shell to create the file that disable voodoo. after disable voodoo , i was able to do restore and install new rom unfortunately after restore or install new rom , it still reboot into recovery.
I also forgot to disable voodoo, and this was before there were fix instructions posted. So i basically effed up my phone to the point of being stuck in the samsung recovery loop, no hardware download mode, no clockwork recovery, no update.zp, no adb download.
I really thought I had completely bricked my phone, I tried this just out of desperation and what do you know, push update.zip over and over and click and it goes through, which allowed me to get into download mode.

nice , you just have to re-root and install the new rom again , if it brick again , just use this method and you are good again.many of us forgot to disable the voodoo before we restore or install new rom and this crashes the phone.
Need some help really bad
Ok so I have a similar situation as you did (OP), only mine is a bit worse... In my irrational "in the moment" fear of the situation, I used adb reboot recovery to get into recovery mode (HW locked phone) and I did the option that deletes all the **** on the phone and restores the phone to its original format (I think it reinstalled the OS or something, because it looks brand new). So now, whenever I boot up, it does the annoying black screen with the 4 glowing buttons thing for a while, and then eventually the OS actually shows up on the screen. Then it does "scanning media" thing over and over again, but thats not the main problem. I figured, hey this isnt so bad atleast I found your thread and would be able to use your method to help restore my phone... the problem is that somehow my "settings" button is totally gone from the app menu, and I cant get it into debug mode, so I cant use either adb or your method or ANYTHING!! My phone is practically bricked as I cant do anything because its constantly laggy and turns back to the black screen thing, and then when it is showing the homescreen I cant do **** because even swiping to another screen takes like 5 minutes to do cause its so laggy. So basically I ****ed up, and I really need some help.. Im kinda a noob at this whole thing and im really outa options as far as I can tell.. does anyone know what I can do to repair my phone? Thanks!
Any help you are willing to give is greatly appreciated.
Ok so I rooted my phone and deleted the bloatware on my samsung captivate. I only delete the apps i did not want, but i am not an experienced android hacker so i might have done something stupid. My issue is when i try to download an app in the market this message pops up.
"The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_202012092328_android_process_media.l og has been saved. Use *39900# to copy out log"
I have tried force closing the market but it does not work. un rooted my phone and it doesnt work. deleted the app that i used to delete the bloatware thinking it could be the app interfereing and that doesnt work either. I have done a factory reset and id did not work, attempted to use ODIN but i cannot understand how to use it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989.
At the moment i am trying to use rom manager and a rogers stock but it wont flash the new rom. its the clsoest i have gotten to fixing my mess but using the rogers stock it stays on installing and using any other one it doesnt find it.
I am so sad and helpless. I would greatly appreciate any help you would be willing to provide.
it definately looks like you deleted something you shouldn't have, but I have no idea what. although getting back to stock is quite easy with odin.
-first download the odin one click provided by designgears in that thread you linked.
-open it up and connect your usb cable to your computer, but not the phone yet.
-turn off your phone and enter download mode by holding both volume keys down and plugging the usb cable in. hold the volume keys down until you see the yellow triangle with the android digging or whatever. see below if this method did not work for you.
-click start on the odin one click window on your computer and wait until it finishes; your phone will reboot automatically.
if the above method of entering download mode did not work for you, you will need to download another version of odin one click to stock posted in the captivate development forum that has the button fix; it should only be a few pages in. flashing this will fix the button combinations and allow you to use the button combinations to enter either download or recovery mode. however in order to flash this, you obviously need to enter download mode. this is easily done by using adb of which there is a guide posted somewhere on this forum or using the terminal emulator app that I will attach to this post, if you reply saying the above button method did not work, since your problem is that you can't install it from the market yourself. (mods, i hope this is okay since it is a free app. if not I apologize and please remove it) copy this file to somewhere on your sd card and using the my files application, select it to install it. then open it up and type reboot download without having the usb cable connected. after you see the yellow triangle, plug in the cable and click start on odin. using the above command requires your phone to be rooted. (i think?) hope this helps.
unfortunately i do not see the terminal emulator app that you attached to the post?
If I had to take a guess at it you deleted gtalk. Did the same thing a while back.
Do you have loading enabled?
Have you ever heard of or used odin?
Good news is you will recover. You are going to have to learn a couple if things.
What do you know? What type of computer do you have?

That is fine if you have the superuser app show up, that means it's rooted. You won't see anything in there until an app needs superuser permission. Download titanium backup when you first boot it you well be prompted for superuser access click allow then next time you go into superuser app you will draw titanium backup in the list.

I cant get my captivate into recovery through 3-button boot, and ROM manager is completely unresponsive. When I click "reboot into recovery" it just does nothing. Same with installing a rom, or restoring a back-up. Any ideas?
Hmmm... It sounds like you might need to reflash the phone...
Can you try this alternate method to put your phone into Download Mode?
1. Turn off your phone, pull out the battery.
2. Hold both volume UP and DOWN buttoms (and keep holding them until the end).
3. Put in your battery.
4. Plug in the USB. (You won't need to ever press the power button using this method).
If that doesn't work, you might need to get a USB Jig somewhere (either buying one or making one yourself).

If you are not bricked (means phone-!-computer screen) then you can use ADB method to go into recovery then just reinstall CWM.zip folder...that works for me....see the link for youtube video tutorial. if u need Clockworkrecovery.zip..just hollar

Not really sure if it would work, but I guess it depends on if he can get the phone's USB Debugging menu to turn on.

It's the "non market app" part that's concerning me. If he gets an error with that, you can't say for sure that he won't get another error with USB Debugging.

I was on Continuum and decided to flash back to stock. Of course Odin would freeze, forcing me to break out my jig.
I finally got it into download mode and flashed back to stock
I used SuperOneClick (like I have so many times before) to root and enable non-market installations
Well, it rooted just fine, but I couldn't enable the non-market stuff, it says "reloc_library[1251]: 2738 cannot locate '_ZNK7android6Parcel15setDataPositionEj'... CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
I cant get my captivate into recovery through 3-button boot, and ROM manager is completely unresponsive. When I click "reboot into recovery" it just does nothing. Same with installing a rom, or restoring a back-up. Any ideas?

well if you're on stock you can't enable non market app it's not included in the package plain and simple. but if you can push update zip into your internal sd and flash cwm recovery you maybe able to flash an app apk's there. the problem is you have unresponsive button combos. solve the button combos first. you will likely need a jig or if you can get into download mode try installing the leaked froyo maybe it will solve your unresponsive buttons.
How do you get Odin to recognize your phone. I can't get it to load on odin. Please help.
or is there any way that someone can make a video or something over the whole process of getting back to stock, I'm a little of a noob with odin.
Thanks in advance!:good:

Power off phone. Hold down: volume down+home button then press the power key until it vibrates then release.

I know how to do that that's download mode. I installed the correct samsung drivers(using an .exe I found on XDA, I start Odin then put my phone in download mode but it won't recognize my phone on odin.
You know those squares at the top nothing shows up in other words.
Thanks for your reply though.

R u putting the phone in download mode b4 u connect it to the PC? Open Odin> put phone in download mode> plug phone to PC> pretty sure u know the rest from here
Sent from my CM10.1 SGH-T599
I was trying to find the right version of CM. I see u have 10.1. Once I straighten my problem I will try that. So with that, when I try to install any type or mod and flash it into CWM I enter into a flash loop. Does CWM file need to be actually on my phone? I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I used ROM Manager to try and install Cerberus. When I clicked 'flash recovery' it went to recovery screen and installed the app. Then I clicked 'reboot now' and it went back to recovery screen, constantly. So I went back to stock then reflased CWM with Odin and now I'm back to square one. I need to know what I need to do to flash ROMs and avoid this looping.

O.K. Is there anybody that has this phone and has the correct drivers installed? Is there any way somebody can give me the drivers they used in order to put their phone back to stock or whatever. I think their is something wrong with the drivers I have installed.

The drivers should have installed automatically, you mentioned that you installed drivers that you found on XDA? Could you point me towards them?
I don't recall needing to install drivers on Windows 8, so try going to device manager, and uninstalling those drivers, and letting windows 8 automatically install them. Go to device manager, plug your phone in, you should see samsung usb drivers or something along those line pop up, right click on it and uninstall the drivers, then restart pc and phone and this time let windows install the drivers. Put your phone on downlad mode (can be done by pressing volume down, home and the power on button simultaneously).

If I recally correctly, ROM Manager is made by CyanogenMod, right? If so, then it's only useful on the phones it's officially supported on, (our phone is not on officially supported, otherwise we would've definitely seen 4.4 ). The looping probably occurs because it's installing some other software that is not supported on our phone, so your best bet would to flash ROMS found in the "T599x General Discussion Thread", a list of working roms are provided there. Remember to install the necessary GAPPS as well.

Can anyone assist me with a solution to get my SHGH-T599N to power on. It will not turn on and I've tried everything I know; which isn't much, to get it to turn on.

Try new battery, but it's probably hard-bricked which means it needs to be JTAG'd, which means you have to go to a repair shop.
