Tried SuperOneClick using both methods and it didn't work. Any suggestions?
I also would like to know this before I update.

I couldn't get it to work either... had to revert back to 2.2 and root using Super One Click from there to restore back to my CM7 backup.
I would suggest waiting for superoneclick to be updated to support gingerbread.
Yep, that's what I was going to do but was hoping someone had a way beforehand so I could my backups going again
Install the Gingerbread update using a custom recovery, then install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 BEFORE rebooting.
Or if you want to root manually, follow the instructions for rageagainsthecage in my signature.

Tried to root manually with your instructions w/ rageagainstthecage but its not cooperating... Once I run rageagainstthecage, it will exit out of shell, then USB bugging dissapears on the N1 notification bar, and can't get it back without rebooting the N1, also it won't show up in windows device manager until N1 is rebooted...
Did you use this method to root your phone with 2.3.3 or did you flash the update then flash the other update to get root?
Thanks,
How did you revert back to 2.2? What Passimg.zip did you use? Or are you unlocked?

I flashed the update then flashed then flashed the other file I linked to. If rageagainstthecage doesn't work, try the newer exploit (psneuter).

No need to unlock the bootloader. Just download the file, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader. It will scan the file for a minute or so and then ask if you want to flash it. Just hit the up volume button to flash.
I've got what appears to be temp root with rage ($ changes to #), but I can't get the system to mount as rw, which is wierd...

It comes up with the message "Main Version is Older!" "Update Fail!"
My phone is not rooted and on official 2.3.3 flashed through stock recovery via update.zip
EDIT: Used first method, reflashed with passimg.zip (frg33) then updated one by one back to fgr83g, rooted (superoneclick) installed amon_ra, recovery via rom manager, put 2.3.3 gingerbread update on SD as update.zip, also put the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip on SD.
Flashed 2.3.3 update via amon_ra recovery (had to turn off signature verification), once it reset (not rebooted) back to recovery picked to flash zip, picked su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip, (had to turn off signature verification again), rebooted, and now have root!! Now i can finally restore my apps
Worked great!! Thanks efrant!!!

Hi, I currently have a rooted Captivate and I'm running stock firmware on my phone. I have several questions if some could help me out that would be great.
Is it is possible to get the official Froyo update if your phone is rooted?
Also if it isn't possible, if I do a factory reset will it unroot my phone?
My friend was the who rooted my phone for me and I don't recall what he used to root it. So IF I can't get the update while rooted and doing a factory reset doesn't remove the root, how can I unroot my phone and do I need to know the specific way my friend rooted it?
I dont think, root with do anything against upgrading your phone using Keis mini....formatting or deleting any chache wont unroot your phone...
but to be on safer side
Use this to unroot...just put ur phone on debugging by going to settings>>applications>>development>>uSB debugging on

download the software as per ur computer (Mac or Windows) Extract it...an plug the phone with computer...and just click unroot...it will do the rest...

When you unroot you should not have the option to go into cwr, seeing how you need root permissions to do so.

no. Clockworkrecovery is simply an update.zip on your sdcard and does NOT require root at all, just reboot to recovery and reinstall packages....that will boot you into clockwork

absolutely. clockwork recovery is done without being in the OS....so it does NOT require root access
when you install rom manager on a samsung galaxy s phone, and click on the flash clockwork mod, it puts the update.zip file on the sdcard. once you reboot to regular recovery (3 button), just click reinstall packages, it will reboot back into stock recovery. click reinstall packages again and it will kick you right into clockwork recovery.....has nothing to do with root

though i have read that it is included in some kernels? and i did flash serendipity, could that be the reason that i can't get into stock recovery?

thats exactly why...its included with the custom kernel you are running....
and here i thought recovery was part of the bootloader and something that does not (usually) get replaced. if you could explain how these things are separated (i have my theories but i'd love to know how it actually works ) that would be great, otherwise i'm simply relieved that i am still able to have my phone repaired on warranty if i ever have to

im also rooting but grj22 build, what do i need to download to my sd before i unlock my boot loader?
To unlock your bootloader, you don't need anything on the sdcard. To continue with rooting, you would need to have a custom recovery on your computer and use fastboot to install it after you unlock it, then flash the zip that was mentioned above (which would need to be on the sdcard) to actually root your phone from the custom recovery.

If you're going to flash cm7 or ANY pre-rooted rom you do not need to bother with the su.zip. Just flash the rom from custom recovery.
i keep getting the no img wrong img message in fastboot when i try to hboot?
Fastboot is used to flash the custom recovery. The recovery flashes the rom.

Well now im having problems running my gallery or music player or camera? seems like im missing something again? is it cause im rooted> i think i rooted?hmmm uh help. thanks
nevermind got it worked out downloaded a root version and wipe wiped flashed and Blam! im back.
Ok, I'm a noob and I tried to root my phone. However, I messed it up and I'm not sure how.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader.
I then flashed the recovery with Amon_RA's image. All is still good.
I attempted to root installing from zip using this step "Use trackball -> "Flash zip from from sdcard" -> nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip"
I then rebooted and now I'm stuck at X. It won't boot past that.
I can access the bootloader and all that other crap. I'm a noob so type slow and in small words to I can fix this. Until I see a reply, i'll play around with it to see if I can return the image to stock.

If you want to go back to stock search for passimg.zip or you can use any ROM you like.
my adb isn't recognizing my device. Fastboot is but not adb. This is why I can't push anything to the phone at the moment. This is getting frustrating.
take the sd card out and put the passimg.zip file on it
I did that and nothing happened. Is there something special I need to do in order for it to take?
It was working just fine until I installed the google addon zip described above from the sdcard. Is there any way to uninstall the addon from recovery?
The PASSIMG.zip method doesn't work for me. It briefly says it can't find image or something like that. It flashes on the screen very fast so I can't get the details. Any other suggestions for me to try? Like I said, I can boot to recovery just fine. I can even install from zip through recovery. I should have backed up that image before I started messing around with it. I'm learning as I go though.
Phew!!! Back in business with the passimg method. My mistake was adding another .zip when I renamed the file. so to the phone it looked like PASSIMG.zip.zip and wasn't recognizing it. Once I got that fixed it updated just fine. I'm booted now. I'll update then try and root once again.

If that is the root method you used, you do not have cwm recovery yet. You either need to run the newest version i posted earlier (yes it is ok to run the root.bat even if you already have root!), use RevoToolkit, or install manually. Then you can install the rom.
Ok I'm going to go do that now . I'm going to use the revotoolkit. So basically what that tool kit does is allow you to install custom roms? I hope that ginger volt can speed my phones processes up. I really don't want to ask for another htc device and my only two choices to swap for was the charge and this phone. Ugh I'm so frustrated...
ok so used revtoolkit and installed it and then downloaded the gingervlt zip file to my sd card. i rebooted the phone while pressing the power and vol down key an it came up w a screen asking if i wanted to erase everything. i watched a youtube vid that said to proceed with that and nothing would be erased and it did erase everything. how do i get into that screen to exract that zip file?

The root method you used is out dated and does not remove the files to make clockwork stick. Reuse revotoolkit to reinstall cwm, after confirmed to have worked, while still in revotoolkit press menu and hit reboot recovery.

I had the same problem, look for the "PH39IMG" and "VIVID_CMW_ROOT_VER2.zip" on the super guide for HTC Vivid. After unlocking with the HTCdev's site, flashing CWM (PH39IMG) by placing it in the root directory of the SD card, take out the battery, wait 5 seconds, put battery back in and boot into HBOOT by holding the down volume button and power button, the update will flash itself after a few seconds, reboot phone.
Delete the PH39IMG file with any file manager then place the VIVID_CMW_ROOT_VER2.zip on the root directory of the SD card again, boot on recovery and flash it with the "install file from sdcard" then choose the file and hit power button to run. Verify root after rebooting with Titanium Back up.
It worked just fine for me, after many unsuccessful attempts with flashing roms that broke something every time I did, WIFI or DATA or Bluetooth.
Let me know how it goes.
