Please help!!! My charger port broke and I need to unroot to take it to Cellular South to see if they can fix it. I am running CM 6.1 and I rooted with Z4root. I saved it on my phone with Titanium Backup. When I click on it all it says is root. Well i figured if I try to reroot it, it will recognize that I am already rooted and then give me the option to unroot but all it does is reboots and reinstalls the current ROM. When I go back to Z4root it says the same thing, root. I also was going to get the original RUU from Cell South but I can't hook my phone up to the computer to finish the process cause of my charger port is broken. Please help me!!! If I failed to give you all the info you need, let me know and I will give you the missing info. Thanks in advance!!!
have your tried running the ruu through adb using adb wireless?
How do you do that?
I downloaded the RUU from Cell South and tried to install it from recovery mode but it just went back to the current ROM again.
there is a progam called adb wireless.... havent done any of this myself but i would guess its the same as running the ruu in adb connected through usb.
check here for ruu commands in adb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688820 the app is in market i do believe
hope i not confusing you or leading you down the wrong path but is just an idea you can try

You don't run an RUU from recovery, or from the phone at all.
Do you have fast boot working??? If so there's a zip you can flash from h boot to return to stock.

I downloaded the adb wireless but not sure what to do with it.

Isn't fast boot where I press and hold power button and volume up? If so then yes it works but not sure how to use it. The only thing I use it for is when is says (menu) Recovery. I use it to send me to recovery mode sometimes.

What is this androidsdk I keep hearing about? I actually got help rooting with the good folks from phandroid forums. Maybe y'all use this androidsdk in your rooting method and Phandroid does not and I'm missing that and that us why I can't figure out what y'all are talking about. Just thinking...

Give me a sec to boot up I'll post you some links on how to get the android sdk. Adb wireless wont work without it. I've never used that app so not sure on how it works. And fast boot is when you have s-off. When you hold your volume down and power before you hit the button for recovery it will say in the top left hand corner or right, if you have s-off or s-on. To use fast boot you have to have s-off.

I just checked and it says S-on.

If you mean the sdk just install it on your computer. Just click on it and choose run. If that's not the one then which one are you refering to
Install the ask on the computer and use the adb wireless to connect, right?

reboot into recovery (yet again search on how)
flash zip you downloaded in dev section
reboot
you have root

trust me.. all the information you need to do every single one of those steps is in this forum.. either in the dev section or here.. I dont know why it's taking you two days when I was just able to locate everything(even though I laid out within minutes from just the clockwork mod thread in the dev section.
it tells you 1. How to boot your streak into fast boot
2. tells you how to flash recovery and what commands to issue
3. tells you how to enter clockwork recovery
4. flashing the zip is self explanatory
So i have a rooted htc vivid and today my battery died today and now my phone will not boot up at all. I can plug in the charger and the charge light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off.. It did this once last night and came back on after pulling the battery. Died today and cant get it back on...help me out please someone..
We followed Slapshot30's Superguide by doing the following:
HTC Dev Unlock - confirmed
Followed step 2 but got an error trying to update recovery
Used the Supertool Method and confirmed root with Titanium Backup
Tried Flashing a couple different versions of CWM to no avail.
Now we are at the current situation, unable to even boot into hboot by pulling battery and using power/vol down method.
At a standstill now
Edit: Oh and I helped him root this phone. I've rooted both my OG Evo and my E3D.
Edit #2 - Got it to boot into hboot and now the phone is booting up normally. Anyone know why it would do that? Also, does anyone know where I can find a download for CWM that I can flash through the bootloader? When we try to go to the recovery now it just goes the the screen with the red exclamation.
Are you able to flash the PH39IMG from the superguide? It's really easy, just put that file on the internal or external memory and boot into hboot and the phone will automatically update to the newest recovery.
If that doesn't work you cab flash the recovery using the other guide in the superguide, the one involving flashimagegui app.

When he puts the image on the sd card it doesn't update when booting into hboot...it goes through the steps but says no image.. I've done this a million times on my evo 3d but this phone is about to drive me crazy! We tried the other method but the app says his phone isn't compatible.

How about going to the thread for the new recovery (thecubed is the dev that made it). There is another method posted there, just a little more confusing. It involves a line or two of code in the command prompt.

why not send it back to stock first using the instructions in the superguide, and start from scratch?
Is that a possibility?

I'm a big noob in this community. Well, yesterday I flashed a custom rom and got my captive in a loop. No biggie. I flashed it back to stock and now running elcair 2.1. I've tried hooking it up to lies mini but it seems two drivers fail to install correctly everytime. Downloaded the drivers from Samsung and other places. Contacted Samsung through live chat (never again). Ive tried factory resetting. I also need to mention I can't go into download mode or recovery. I need the 3 button mod but I've read that rom manager doesn't support eclair. Am I screwed and stuck on this firmware?

First, forget Rom Manager. It has almost nothing for the Captivate. Second, check out my signature for an ADB Utility to help you get into download/recovery. Also, you may want to completely uninstall the drivers for the captivate, reboot, and then reinstall them again before plugging your phone back in.
ADB utility would help me go into download mode?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
If the drivers are working correctly, yes.

My drivers ARENT working correctly. I dont know what seems to b e the problem.
As Red_81 mentioned, if you can't get into download or recovery mode, try using ADB to force it to get there. You can get it with the utility in Red_81's signature. Once you have the phone hooked up and ADB installed, just open a command prompt, navigate to where you have ADB installed, and type "adb reboot download" or "adb reboot recovery".
If the Samsung drivers aren't cutting it for you, you might want to try flashing a stock Gingerbread ROM (with bootloaders) from Heimdall. Heimdall will install its own USB driver (lib-usb), which might bypass your issue.
If you're still having driver issues, take a look at the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread in my signature. At least one of those solutions should (hopefully) work for you.

Just looking to see if anyone else got this issue.
Tried live usb, live cd, and hdd install of ubuntu 32 bit 12.04.
Tried different roms and made sure fastboot was off, debugging check on and no lock code.
It will reboot to bootloader but the ADB part fails.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem and this worked for me, might not for you. My problem is caused by easy tether client installed on my laptop so when I plug in my phone I have to do this
1. Turn off development settings
2. Turn it back on
3. Check the use debugging box
4. Run adb from command prompt

With the other method it does break hot reboot, I don't use it so it doesn't matter to me, also the method can be done right from terminal emulator, just follow the same command but instead of typing just revone you need to type revone.bin

My initial problem with device and moonshine was resolved by flashing stock rooted Rom, then everything worked fine. Completed and restored from backup. Think the issue with phone being seen and flashing was noted on the site somewhere that stock kernel was recommended or required.

I used the newest live cd 13 I think, the more stable and without all media crop version had bad wife drivers for me. I downloaded file, copied over only adb and fastboot to folder, though they would not see device, also don't think needed, then continued. Made sure debugging was turned on, also updated to latest. 35 supersu (don't think this had anything to do with it) only other difference would be computer hardware. It pissed me off for a while until I loaded vipers stock deodexed.
Good luck :sly:

I was getting the same ADP error. I talked to support on IRC, they said viper 1.1.0 is not supported for moonshine. Suggested doing RUU to go back to stock. In which case you would have to nandroid your rom, backup contents to computer. Relock phone, RUU, unlock phone again, moonshine, flash recovery, restore nandroid. I might wait till next release of viper rom to s-off.
