Hey guys I sold my captivate to a friend that lives in NY, and before I shipped it to him it got signal fine, but it won't work for him. He's flashed other roms and modems. Does anyone have any idea

It might be worth letting us know what rom/kernel he's on, as well as what modems he has tried. The more info you can give, the better.
Well he when I sent him the phone he was running the continuum gingerbread with the modem in that version,and the reoriented kernal. The dev section has a lot of new stuff since I had my captivate. I'll get with him and get all the correct info

Have him flash the phone to stock and verify that it works.
Could be the sim card as well.

Sorry,but bump

From looking at the attached thread, it should still be possible to edit the files successfully without an existing backup.
do we know if the motooneclickroot program will be able to root the update coming?
Yes

Hello captivate guys. I couldn't help but notice my wife captivate has superuser but no root. I downloaded titanium backup it couldnt find a root. So my question is why. Is there a permaroot for the captivate. Or can you download SU without a root. She isn't the first owner of this phone. However shortly after buying the phone I did a factory reset on it. I've never seen this before on her phone. I've seen it on mine because I flash coystom rims on my inspire. Any thought would be great thanks.

It seems as if it needs to be rooted again. You can "loose" root.
I just recovered my N7000 from a soft brick
Now i can't find the superuser app so i don't know whether I'm still rooted or no
I also don't understand the rom I'm on or the kernel.... To be honest i just want to unroot to be under warranty again
Can anyone help?

So now I'm getting notification of software update.... I'm scared to accept it and brick my phone.... Is it safe to accept the software or no?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app
I wouldn't ever flash an ota update. If you want to update just download rom from sammobile and update with pc odin.
