make sure you have usb debugging enabled.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I followed the instructions correctly. It finds the zip and starts installing then reboots and nothing changed. I'm currently at work. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? So when I get home I can jump right into rooting my phone

Did I say to use it for lagfix?....no but even someone who can't read well can use it to root....literally rooting for dummies
You were having trouble so I tried pointing you I'm the direction for easiest root method...heck you don't even have to know how to follow directions to use it
It's funny you talk down on somebody without even doing your research. If you did you would know that the app doesn't root your phone anymore. Thanks for the help tho I do appreciate it

I have saved on my computer Ryan's z4root.apk from 2-3 weeks ago, that will still Root won't it if I ever need on Stock 2.1.1?
I'd suppose it would - he just had to take out the root feature for some reason. The application wasn't defective.

Not sure how but this topic keeps getting missed in the failed update mayhem. One thing seems obvious bloatware are needed for update to succeed. TB cannot restore these. Is it possible for someone to share them so we can install. Wothout flashong ising oden

Just use Odin.
Odin will delete everything though. Was hoping not to do that.

Also it seems ppl who used odin are the ones having problems updating. Does anyone have the att apk files and how can they be installed.

Look at the survey in general you have been pointed to in other posts. You don't need bloat to have a successful update. Designgears has made an update. You can get the apk's off a system dump in dev.
Please look around and read. I'm not trying to come down on you, but all the questions and concerns you have, all legitimate, have been addressed.

Hi guys.
I have my captivate running froyo. that's about all I know, though. I was hoping someone could tell me what rom I am running or distro I am running, because I am clueless. I have heard cognition is good, and if I can update to it without losing all my settings I will (assuming I dont have it now. I could, like i said, clueless.). Here is what my phone says in the about phone section:
Firmware version: 2.2
Model number SAMGSUNG-SGH-I897
Baseband version: I897UCJI6
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee(at)sep-11 #1 (sorry for wording it this way, i could not post the topic with the at symbol because it thought it was an outside link)
Build Number: FROYO.UCJI6
ok, that's everything I think. Now, if someone can help me root this version, that's just dandy. If not, I would be willing to update to one that has a viable root availible for it already. I had eclair rooted before updating to froyo, and I miss my wifi tethering and backups.
Thank you in advance to anyone who offers help, I greatly appreciate it.
Hey I'm sorry I can't really help you, but I'm running the eclair rooted and I've been trying to get wifi tethering working but it just force closes everytime. If you could let me know how you were able to do it or point me in the right direction I'd be forever grateful.

You are on the original leak of froyo. I am not sure how to root it. If I were you I would back up all my apps using titanium backup, flash stock with odin

no offense taken, my reason for making a new thread was because I did not what version I was using, and therefore could not sort out what information was applicable. But, either way, thanks!
With a triumphant thrusting of both fists in to the air, losing my balance in my chair and falling to the ground upon seeing the little "superuser permissions" app after reboot, you have my eternal gratitude. Thank you so much!
Edit: oh crap... now my menu, home, back and search buttons do not work! any idea what I can do to fix this?
Not a problem. I am happy it worked out
edit. Try reboot. If that don't work an odin flash will do it but you will lose apps and settings

dernit. It did not work. well, at least i got it rooted, it's a good start. maybe i can figure it out
What did you do. it will suck but if you take your time you can get through. I would work toward getting titanium downloaded. You nasty have to reboot a couple of times.
I would get off of ever leaked froyo either way, if you are ever going to move to something else you will have to flash stock

im thinking I'm just going to go back to eclair, and root. I could do everything i wanted to on that, except for having flashplayer. so yeah. I guess, since all my contacts are synced with my gmail account, it's no big deal. i can re-do my home page and reinstall my apps thanks to appbrain. I mean, after all, it's just a phone.
That is correct. It is just a phone. If you are at all unfamiliar with odin our ned help getting back to 2.1 on me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
before I start counting my chickens, let me wait for them to hatch. I've been following the directions for flashing back to 2.1, so i'll let you know how it goes.
Edit: It worked, now I just have to set up everything and re-install my apps. Thank you for your help, I'm just taking the "patience is a virtue" approach from now on haha. only thing I will really miss is the little arrow thing that makes it easier to pick a spot in a body of text. oh well
There is a basic no frills froyo rom in the developement section. I believe its ji6 optimized or something like that. It comes with 2e recovery and root access built in. Sorry I just log off my computer otherwise I would post you links. But backup with tibu. And take a look at that rom in the developement section. You will need rom manager from the market. But after downloading ji6 optimized,copy to your internal sd card. Then open rom manager and select install rom from zip. Select the froyo rom and follow instructions. You will then have a rooted froyo minus att bloat with flash.
I would give more detail but I have thumb cramps now lol. But tomorrow I can help if u need it.
Has anyone found out how to root the official release from ATT without having to flash? Before I upgraded I had my phone rooted by simply dropping a ZIP file in the sd file root and reinstalling all packages thus installing it. Is there a way similar to this for the new release?

My mom has a captivate running stock android 2.1.
I only enabled lagfix on her phone and nothing else.
After the official froyo came out I was thinking about updating it.
I have a few questions about it. Please answer as many as you can...
1. Will all apps disappear?
2. If yes for #1 do I need to get titanium backup?
3. Do I disable lagfix?
Please help.. thank you
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Here's your answer, search the forums. You will find it.
1. All apps will dissapear! Be warned
2. You should use titanium backup thats a good idea but the kb1 must be rooted and sideloading enable to get them all back (use super one click) also put the titanium backup folder on external sd or on computer just in case
3. YES DISABLE THE LAGFIX VERY IMPORTANT

Thanks for the reply!. Would have caused a great trouble if I didn't question this...
Anyway just wondering, if I just had the captivate and did not know anything about root/flash/etc I would have just updated and gotten everything deleted right?
Did Samsung mention the fact that all my apps would have disappeared?. I just think its unfair to some people....

With normal android devices this would not have been an issue as the apps reinstall when you light into your Google account but that feature is missing from the Galaxy line

Yea, you should take all the important folders off your internal sd card like the titanium backup folder and put them spmewhere on you computer, that's what I did and once I updated I got all my files back, I still needed to root/enable sideloading to get my apps from TiBu back

On the oneclickroot program there's an option to " allow non market apps" to unlock your phone you'll need to SEARCH xda or Google/xda on the one click unlocker for captivate. Some captivates it works others are to new. + galaxy s unlocker in the market has proven to work for some.
