dont use one click lagfix for anything.

I never had a one click lag fix for anything, it was a one click root. The lag fix was an update.zip file

I ended up reverting to Eclair and flashing Cognition4 for the time being. It's as close to bone stock Official Froyo from Samsung as it gets. That and I didn't check back and see your post before I had begun flashing Cognition4... lol.
Was anyone else successful? Original poster, how'd it go, did the above mentioned OneClicker work for ya?

Yeah, i one click rooted my 2.2 Captivate earlier today. No problems at all.

Cool...
I wonder why just placing the Update.zip on the Internal SD, booting into recovery <3e>, and reinstalling the update doesn't work??
I had tried that method as well and still got the signature error stop.
Oh well...

You can use this modded recovery to install things with 3e, or enable the use of CWM.
Worked for me.

Keep getting 2.2.1 updates after root. How can this be stopped?

Keep getting 2.2.1 updates after root. How can this be stopped? Its annoying to keep rooting only to get the system updates again and again. I'm rooting with a signed fr91 file. Any way to stop this?

Upgrade to 2.2.1 frg83 then use the one click super root to root 2.2.1 you won't get the update any more u can find it in nexus wiki
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Download 'Quick Boot' from the market and use it to reboot the phone. Then, clear the update notification from the notification menu. The update message should go away for a while (mine lasted a week before it came back).
I'm still somewhat hesitant to upgrade to FRG83 and use SuperOneClick since some people in the thread are reporting problems. I love my phone how it is right now!

Are you and Memnoch30 referring to the post you laid out in another thread? I'm pretty sure you wrote detailed instructions on how to do the manual rage root using adb. Will this method work fine if all I want is to run stock 2.2.1 with root-requiring apps like setcpu and move2sd enabler? Sorry for being such a noob

Why don't you install a custom rom and be done with it.

I just installed 2.2.1 and used the SuperOneClick method to root the phone again. I had to turn the phone off, run the program, and then boot the phone for it to work. I suggest you try this method. It couldn't be much simpler.
Now i keep getting the new firmware update message and i cant seem to turn it off even with the quickboot. Any ideas?
Install the update, root again. Now really, this "idea" is 1 message above yours - what made you post?
Hm i tried to update but failed, could be due to tampering of the build number that I did previously but after that it didn't bug me anymore, at least not for now. Will try the superoneclick one next time. Thanks.
It might be back in several days, but if you've tampered with the system and advanced the build number - it shouldn't appear anymore.
yeah i sure hope so. will know in a few days

[Q][H] 2.2.1 FRFG83D Help

Hey All,
First I would like to start of by saying sorry if there is a thread on this and I have not found it from hours of searching for an answer.
So let me tell you the problem/point I am at with my Nexus One and need help.
So I rooted my phone a while back and for some time I was running the
CyanogenMod and then used Rom Manager to return to the stock image FRF91 from there updated to FRFG83D. I now want to get back into the rooted world and Amon_Ra's Recovery. Each time I try to enter into recovery mod I get the droid with a big '!'
I have tried to use SuperOneClick and it keep sitting on
Running rageagainstthecage...
ROOTED
Getting mount path...
tried 1-click does not work also.
Please help
Anyone help please

You only need to ask once. Asking multiple times is not going to get anyone to help you any faster... All you'll do is annoy people.
The "droid with the big !" as you put it is the stock recovery. When you flash a stock ROM, it re-installs the stock recovery, unless you delete two files.
Anyway, you need to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p and then flash a custom recovery. You obviously need root to delete those two files.
See attachments for how to root and flash a custom recovery, without unlocking your bootloader.
Thanx and do not wish to be a pain, I thought I got my nexus to a point were I could not do a think.
Will try it out and let you know.
Thanks

I did this like 2 days ago too. Super one click root does work. I confirmed. You just only need to set up your driver and your adb right.

[Q] Rooting my Captivate

Is there a easier way to Root your captivate, I have tried several one click or different ways and have had no luck. Anybody can help me with this or point me in the right direction that works? the one click app don't work I really want to add and run other apps.
And also the KIES software does not work it never did. I really don't like the software even after trying the lite version. I like Droid Explorer. Oh yea this is on a 2.2 Froy OS

Have you considered joining the party and flashing a custom ROM? They all come prerooted to make your lives easier. At least I know my ROMS, MikeyMikes and anything by designgears does. I have not tried the rest yet.
I would definitely follow adam's advice and just flash a new rom. here is a good tutorial to help you get started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Adam's roms are great as well as DG's. Give one of them a try and realize how good of a phone the captivate really is.
Paragon is pre rooted also.

OP said one click doesn't work for him lol but op have you enabled usb debugging before trying out one click? Just asking to make sure. Although I recommend going the custom rom route as well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
If you are that stuck on rooting only, and one click really doesnt work for you (thats a first).
Google root captivate. A root update.zip should be very easy to find, put it on your internal sd card, reboot into recovery mode and select reinstall packages.
Id post one, but i am on my phone...
^ not going to be able to root on stock froyo at the recovery 3e wont let you install unsigned zips. The one workaround to this would be flashing a custom kernel via ODIN and then using that custom recovery to root.
Doh! I missed that.
Maybe odin to 2.1, and install a custom rom / kernel package...

[One Click]Updated!!! LG Revo All in One Pkg for Root, CWM 5.0.2.7, and Unroot

This is an All-in-One package to Root and install CWM Recovery or to UnRoot and install the stock recovery. I have spent many hours trying to modify this to be as easy as possible for all to accomplish their goals whether by modding or returning to stock.
What is This?
This is an exploit built by the Revolutionary team, that was ported to the Esteem by djrbliss, then I was able to fix permissions and install su and superuser. The exploit is not built by me, rather by the Revolutionary guys. This zip contains the proper drivers for the Revolution, all root files, and the Root&Recovery.bat file. The .bat has been modified to fix ANY of the problems people are having with root, and will make it so that CWM will stick through reboot. It installs the newest versions of the su binary and Superuser.apk. It will also install ClockWorkMod Recovery also (no need to run RevoToolkit anymore). The unroott will uninstall and delete the su binary and remove Superuser.apk. It will also remove CWM and install the stock ZV7 recovery.img. If there are any problems, just let me know.

How Do I Root and Install CWM?:
1) Download zip and extract
2) Install drivers if not already installed
3) Click Root&RecoveryAIO.bat
4) Select what you would like to do

Guys I'm trying to get back to 100% to get Gingerbread. I was able to get follow the steps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326347
I got the stock ROM and recovery back, I was able to search and download the first update, but I cannot find the gingerbread update.
And I still have Root and none of the programs seem to work to unroot it, they always get stuck at psneuter or whatever.
I ran this program and it removed root but during the process it showed a lot of "Failed"s
Still cannot find the Gingerbread update under "about phone---->software update---->check new. Says no update available. Anyone help me out?

I just wanted to see what i might be doing wrong...
I can't get the root.bat to recognize the device, I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled, but still am not able to see device ( I can see drives if I set to mass storage, so I know I am connected)
The Revo is brand new out of the box from VZW and froyo ver 2.2.2. Do I need to be on a different OS ver. to get this to work ?
Thanks in advance.

There is no stock RUU released yet. and my One has root and works fine, so I don't think it can be the root method.

I'd say just use one of the roms, sideload apps you use daily and wait it out. nandroiding to a different device is bad news, my friend.
I also am having the same issue with not being able to install to sdcard, you're not alone.

Same here. Luckily my TiBackup seems to be installing everything fine, just have to wait out a fix and sideload in the meantime.
Edited... Always read the entire ROM thread before posting... quick fix is listed in there.
I've been having the problem since I installed ViperROM last night. Viper is working on finding a fix. For now, I copied my TiBu files over from my Evo LTE and restored them that way.
Same problem
