Dont know what to do at this point...any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Here is what all i have done so far. Late 2010 i downloaded OCLF from android market and rooted 2.1 Eclair had consistant Quad score from 2300-2450. Phone started acting glitchy and slow so i used app to unroot and root back. Worked great for a little while then same problems repeated. So i thought i'll update 2.2 then reroot. Waited on 2.2 through Samsung Kies to release and updated. 1st attempt phone rooted but when booted up it didnt recognize sim or memory card and about 5 force close screens appeared when on home screen. Also, wifi stopped working completely so i bought a new router and it worked again(tried on other wifi locations to test issue before and after). Samsung Kies wouldnt allow another update so i used Odin and it seemed to force everything through. Tried downloading SuperOneClick on WinXP went to root error stated i needed .net 2.0 file, so i downloaded .net v3.5. Went to root again and same error missing 2.0 file. Tried using One Click Root and copied files to memory card clicked 2.2 root phone reboots and i get the "signature verification failed error" a majority seem to be receiving(both done on WinXP and Mac 10.6.6-on Mac phone reboots fine but there is no root in place). Ive also tried other methods i've read about such as OneClickLagFix and z4root, downloading to computer placing on memory card using "MyFiles" that comes stock on device and "Astro Manager" from android market. When i extract files i get a security error that At&t has wonderfully put in place. Also tried rebooting into recovery mode to apply update.zip file and there is no option to install specific file only option to reinstall packages and when i reinstall i get signature verification error. THEN i used Odin to go back to 2.1 tried using SuperOneClick and One Click Root same problems repeat. Used Samsung Kies to go back to 2.2 to make a little faster since i cant seem to root either way and now i have no 3 button recovery mode or download mode. Purchased 3 ohm resistors for a Jig in case i EVER need download mode since my phone seems to be all sorts of messed up(or maybe its just user error). Ive tried many other ways and methods but this post is already too long to list. Phone seems to be running decent Quad score between 1000-1050 but i would appreciate ANY advice to root on either 2.1 or 2.2. I'm running Windows XP and Macbook w/ v. 10.6.6 and i feel as though i had exhausted all options!! PLEASE HELP!?!?

New tried Super One Click Root with 2.1 but always flawless for me with 2.2. You said you tried it with 2.1 but have you retried Super One Click since updating to 2.2?
If that doesn't work try odin back to 2.1 then use galaxy s one click. Only instead of running the program that places the update zip on your phone try manually putting the file i have attached on your phone.
The file attachment labeled Root.zip is the root update file from Galaxy One Click Root from. Just rename it as Update.zip. Put it on internal SD. Goto recovery mode and Reinstall packages (this is for 2.1).

if yo can go into download mode try odin back to stock as what bames said if still no button combos install the leaked froyo from designgears rev02 it will bring back your button combos and you can messed up anything again once settled you did't diasble oclf and file ext2 before flashing something that's your caveat there.. your phone will bounce back and forth with that

Since the official 2.2 upgrade is released, I updated through Samsung kies mini without unrooting my stock rom 2.1
then I found the superuser icon vanished
I google it and tried Super One Click

...it said rooted but when i download rom manager...the first thing i did is to backup current rom...when i clicked ok for backup...it did nothing...then i tried to download some apps required root to see if it works...every apps required root (super manager, rom manager(appeared not responding for every options), root exploer, etc.) forced close...
i tried one click root for for all models as well...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742403
but i cant even launch the app by using window 7 32 bit...
i tried the alternative way suggest by other ppl by only double click the root 2.2.bat..it pushed an update.zip file to my phone but when i tried to reinstalll package..it failed and say E signature verification failure!?...
I even tried it on mac..but failed as well (i connected my phone and the software said it pushed the update.zip and boot into recovery mode but in fact nothing happening on my phone)
I did a factory reset and wondering how to root AT&T Captivate official 2.2
I'm having the same problem. I don't think any of those one click apps will work with 2.2 official, since they're all for 2.1. I tried all of them, and none of them worked. I'm getting the Atrix soon anyway, so I'm not gonna bother trying to root my Captivate anymore
Have you tried using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418
i tested the KB1 froyo update and rooting via superoneclick just to see how it works. I had to reboot after rooting it though. Superuser was there but it didnt appear rooted. After rebooting, everything worked fine.
I'm back with Phoenix 5.2, which I recommend over the stock froyo update anyway.
Rooting 2.2
I had the same problem. What I found from searching around is that the recovery console in 2.2 is 3e. 3e fixed the loophole most of the rooting software goes after, so , no 2.2 won't root, at least not the same way 2.1 would.
I also upgraded to the leaked Froyo, but later on downgraded to 2.1 so that I could use the normal upgrade methods.
Enjoy !
Is it mean that AIO Captivate Toolbox is not working too?
If it is..then I wont try
been worried to make another factory reset
these threads are so common now.
use SuperOneClick. it works, but you cant use the PSNeuter method, you have to use the RAGE method.....look to the right of the buttons when you load it up, you will see what i am talking about

First of all. DO NOT PANIC. In order to solve your problem, first thing you need to do is leave everything as it is right now and head for the closest Starbucks, drink your coffee slowly and read the paper.
After you calm down, come back and do the following:
1) Read complete this posting and watch all three videos
2) Using one click ODIN flash back to JF6. If you don't have the three button combo use the DG ODIN that has the three button fix.
3) Do a master clear
4) In this point you have your phone like a brand new captivate on JF6. You can either use Kies or install CWM and install a new ROM.
5) I would recommend a new ROM that you like. Try one that you can flash directly with CWM because it is easier.
Best of lucks

I'm starting a new thread on my exploits with my Captivate as I've been trying to get it to work well since updating to the official Samsung Froyo release when it came out (actually since getting the phone last fall). Any tips to get me past the problems that I'm having would be appreciated. I've tried searching the forums and googling the problems I've had, but this has been tedious to say the least, and really hasn't gotten me any further.
When I originally got my Captivate, I tried connecting it to Samsung Kies and I was never able to get Kies to actually recognize the phone and let me use it to move media about and such, so I gave that up. When the Froyo update was released, I installed it per the instructions and kept hitting a dead end until I uninstalled IE9 (I think it was the RC at the time). Then I was able to update my phone, but the update failed and I had to use some sort of recovery console within the Kies update (I'm sorry I don't remember the exact details). This updated my phone to Froyo, at least according to the Settings:About Phone (Firmware version 2.2 Build number FROYO.UCKB1). However, since then the phone has actually seemed slower than before the update and I thought the new JIT was supposed to make it faster. It often freezes on me requiring me to remove the battery to restart it. Also, the data connection will fail at times (the "3G" icon disappears or only shows uploading data despite having 5 bars) and when I reboot the phone I will have voicemail waiting despite having no missed calls. Anyway, I decided I've had enough of this and I wanted to root the phone and install Cyanogenmod. (I'd been thinking of this anyway.)
I tried using the 1-click root as described http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304. This failed as when I clicked on "reinstall packages", it says "E:signature verification failed Installation aborted."
I searched around for this and found information on getting an unsigned update.zip which was supposed to prevent this error. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213) However, I was not able to follow the mount instructions through the terminal emulator as I got this error for that command: "mount: Operation not permitted". My prompt is $ and I'm told it is supposed to be #. I found instructions that this is supposed to change by typing su for superuser, however when I do that it says, "su: not found".
I then found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8985854 which I have been trying to follow the step-by-step to root Captivate posted by clawsthatscratch. (I have an AT&T Captivate and they seem to be referring to Rogers Captivate, but I thought it should work anyway.) These instructions say to open a command prompt from the tools directory, but it seems that you actually have to open from platform-tools instead as the ADB had changed locations. I went through this step-by-step to the command "./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" This did not "kick my out of adb" the first time that I did it, but I've done it again now while typing this post and it seems to be going further and I'm actually seeing a # prompt instead of just the $ prompt.

OK. I think I may have root access. Everything worked up until the "no startup sounds" and "remove bloat" steps. When I try to run these commands, I get a "Read-only file system" error. I'm going to try to install Cyanogen. I'll repost when I see how that goes. Please (oh please, oh please) give me whatever help you can as to why I'm having so many problems running the simpler methods and even the step-by-step method.
From not being able to figure or how to change tot 3e recovery to flashing cm7? Take a step back and think about this

Did you try super one click? It worked fine for me, as well as enabling non market apps..which also worked, as I was able to download the amazon app market and install apps from there
You need to flash back to the stock 2.1 build using odin one click then root then flash your rom. Please use a guide your first time so you don't brick it.
The 3e security found on the 2.2 build gives the failed error so flashing back to stock fixes that by changing back to the old security.

Use super one click or something to get root, then download rom manager from market, download and install clockwork recovery from within rom manager. This will give u the 2e recovery u need. if u cant get into 2e from within rom manager, turn off ur phone, and instead of using the 3 button combo (vol up and down, and power), use 4 button - vol up and down, home button (softkey) and power button. This should put u into 2e recovery, thus eliminating your signature validation problems. Then flash away at will!
Hope this helps.

So Ive rooted many times switching back and forth and updating various roms. I always use "unleash the Beast" for rooting. This morning I decided to try out the Serendipity 7 so I cleared everything with Odin and when I placed the "Unleash" file on my phone (as update.zip) it will not install? There used to be a re-install packages file on my phone and Id just hit that and id be rooted, that wasnt there and just selecting the actual file from re-boot mode doesnt work either. When I Odin'd this time did I somehow get a newer version of a stock Rom or something? I'll Odin again and see if I did something different, just posting this in the mean time.
dont mind me. Looks like I used a different version of Odin than normal and it gave me a 2.3 Droid which didnt have the re-install packages included.
cant get captivate into download mode now, but I have in the past.? weird to say the least. This phone actually even had cyanogenmod 7 on it at one time but it was a nightly and lots of things were glitchy so I took it back to stock rom with ODIN one click. I finally got it rooted with one click root again yesterday that I found on youtube but couldnt install rom manager due to parsing issue incompatibilities with my version of the android market and 2.1 eclair. Rom manager was not on my version of android market so I'm pretty lost as to how to get this phone back in order. I have the ODIN one click program and was going to go back to stock but now I cant get it into download mode for some reason. I have tried holding every button and removing battery and connecting USB while standing on my head, LOL.??!! is there something you can do while trying to root a phone that can disable the ability to get into download mode? Have I broke it for good?What I'm trying to do is root and install recovery like clockworkmod and maybe one of cyanogenmods stable roms. or some type Jelly bean rom. I am currently still at 2.1 (update-1) android. Tried Kies and it would never connect with my phone on my windows 7 PC so I couldnt update to 2.3.5. and tried to do an OTA update to 2.3.5 and it said and I quote that I had used all my attempts to update and had to wait 24 hrs and try again!?
I have found several good tutorials on how to root and install CWM from android 2.3.5 but havent found alot of tutorials that give instructions on how to go from 2.1 android. There is sooooo much out there online on these phones that it's confusing and I'm stuck and all I want to do is wipe the phone out completely, root, clockworkmod and install a stable rom. Phone is now stuck saying twlauncher has stopped unexpectedly not working I'm stuck please help if you can. HOT MESS HERE!
