I have been using stock SGS for almost half a year now. Wanted to try rooting but discovered my phone is unable to go into recovery/download mode.
Even when trying the 3-button fix, I am unable to complete the steps. After I type in adb reboot download, it prompts the following:
*daemon not running. starting it now*
*daemon started successfully*
error: device not found
i'm not sure why i am getting the 'device not found' msg. I have turned on usb debugging and usually have no problem connecting to kies.
can anyone help me with this? am rather eager to try lagfix and darky's.
anyone?
bump..
Nevermind. Problem solved

please share how you solved it, the thread is open so it may help another person with the same issue,
And put (SOLVED) at the beginning of the title
Hi azzledazzle, thanks for the advise.
Although I had USB Debugging turned-on, I was unable to complete the 'ADB reboot download' step as it gave me a 'error:device not found' msg.
What I found out was I needed to turn off the "Stay Awake" option as well to rectify the error as I had mine on all the time as I like to plug my phone in to keep it awake and read stuff.

Hi Everyone, after i read a lot about rooting i'm trying to do so...
I Downgraded my legend from 2.05 to 1.31, then I followed modaco instruction, installing adb, creating a goldcard, doing step 1.
All works perfect...
After step1-windows.bat, the Legend return to the fastboot screen. I changed my SDcard(the Goldcard) with another one (Not Goldcard)and rebooting the phone in fastboot mode. Here i entered the Bootloader, and using vol down i entered recovery mode (The screen with the black phone with a triangle and a !). then i run step2-windows.bat but i'm stuck with a lot of errors... and still remaining on the recovery mode without the wipe selection (i tried the optic trackball but nothin happens still no wipe selection)... What can possibly be? I use Windows 7 64 bit, maybe is this the problem?
the problem is daemon not running (with consequence trying to restart it), and daemon still not runningerror:cannot connect to daemon....
if needed i can post the windows terminal...
Thxs a lot in advance
Had the same problem in win7x64 when I rooted my legend. I eventually did step2 in linux running in virtualbox (you could use a linux liveCD too). I suspect some driver issues, but never investigated further.
Probably driver issues, Installing HTC Sync might fix the problem.
Hi
i got same broblem then i used the "recovery-clockwork-legend"
it will do the same thing as without connecting to the USB
it is being explained under topic "Fake-flash by Koush, launching recovery without a PC" in this forum
please follow the same step in this topic
" forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698404 "
"please make sure that u have save the both the rom that u want to flash it and the update.zip files to ur micro SD card"
Thanks and best of luck
Try to go into taskmanager and kill htcUPC, and then try step2 again, that worked for me
Solved using linux ubuntu 10.10 althought i think i can solved too with buusing suggestion... i thought too that it was a conflict on some HTC driver part but didn't know what to kill...
Howewer strange things continue to happen... recovery-linux.sh (or recovery-windows.bat) didn't work... so i managed to relaunch step2 to install the new ROM... all works accordingly then... and now i have azure on my legend...
Thank you Everyone! I Mean IT!
to solve this problem, between step 1 and 2, type on a console "adb kill-server" and then write step2-windows or step2-linux, etc.
ive been trying to root my captivate for awhile now. ive done every root method out there but none have worked. when using the update.zip and reboot phone into recovery mode and reinstall packages it keeps saying error. when using the z4root it says install blocked and wont let me install anything from the market.
firmware version: 2.1-update1
baseband version: I897UCJH7
kernel version: 2.6.29
biuld: ECLAIR.UCJH7
im new to the whole thing but i understand the processes. if i can get some help ill greatly appreciate it. thx
Have you tried CLShortFuse's One-Click app?
Also - sounds strange but do you have USB Debugging on?
And what is the exact error your getting when you attempt to root your phone?
e:error in /sdcard/update.zip
(status 7)
installation aborted
Finally got it using the one click!

Yup.. its a nifty app. If you plan on flashing a new ROM over your Rooted phone - no need to allow side loading of third party apps.
Enjoy
Looping Issue
SuperOneClick keeps looping and telling me to turn on USB Debugging. Does nothing. Any suggestions?
Are there any settings to be aware of besides USB Debugging that could be causing the issue?

I can't connect my Captivate to my Windows PC or Ubuntu through the USB cable that came with the device. I think it's the cable that's short circuited resulting in no connection so I will get a cable asap. My temp solution was an 8GB microSD but the problem is that the zip file always returns:
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
What can I do? I really want to unleash the potential of my phone but I'm stuck here with nothing.
Thanks for your time.
Ok so i was on 2.2 Firefly and tried to flash stock GB. Did a reset and wiped the dalvik. Put the phone in DL and Windows (Vista 32b) is not detecting the phone, it spits a usb unknown device. Had to pull and plug the usb a few times until it finally get a good detection in Odin.
Now the real fun begins.. Started the flash and got stuck at "Do not turn of target" for more then 5 minutes. No activity, no bars going up.. nothing. I unplug the usb and replug..No more detection. Remove the batt and try DL again...Bingo black screen of death ! and can't go in DL anymore.
I got a usb jib and it works.. hooray or so i thought. Plug in the device and now windows is still not detecting the phone and install a "unknown device" under usb section. I uninstalled all the drivers i had and reinstalled... same issue.
Downloaded heimdall and that's were the revelation came... My device is f*** up real bad. My USB\VID and PID are now both 0000 (VID_0000&PID_0000) and not "VID_04E8&PID_681C". Windows driver can't recognize the device because of it. Tried putting a entry with 0000 in the driver .inf but it still can't detect the phone. I only have a "Samsung USB Composite device" with a error code 10 (cannot start device) under device manager.
SO..Is there a magic solution to bring this thing alive with Odin or heimdall or is jtag recovery the only solution left ?
EDIT: FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!! After 3 days of driver install and port switching i found a way to get Odin to detect my soft brick phone in DL. I used my usb hub (yes you read that correctly) to plug in my phone and Odin detected a com8 connection. I flashed via the usb hub and i'm now back on track !!!
Stuck with this same problem...
I can get it into Download Mode ONLY with a jig...
other than that anything i do (turning it on, plugging it in) makes a weird screen appear that has the following:
[cell phone] .. [caution symbol] .. [computer]
both windows and ODIN will not detect phone both on this screen and in download mode
got ODIN to detect phone twice after multiple attempts and it says that it starts the flash but that is as far as it gets... second time i left it all night connected with ODIN running in a feeble attempt to get to flash back to stock
trying different USB ports, i do not currently own a USB hub like the author of this thread used to finally get it working...
quite frustrated...

Have you tried flaking with odin one click or the drivers from designgears thread in dev section? Also try uninstall drivers and go to advanced and install those drivers manually. Let met know if helps if not we can try something else.

Try a diff USB cable too.
Mine did the USB not recognized thing due to a faulty cable.
This happened to me a while back. There was only one way I was able to get to download mode. See if it works for you -
1. pull battery, count to 10
2. reinsert battery, DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS exept to follow the next step
3. When I would hold down the vol Up and vol Down together for several seconds, the screen would blink. When the screen blinked I inserted the USB cable. Bam - download mode.
Hope it helps.
edit: well, this is coming from the "phone ! computer" screen. sorry
Able to get unto download mode... I will try the different cable idea in the morning... well... it is morning so in like 6 hours lol... thanks I'll let you know...

When connecting to Odin. Odin should be open and running prior to putting your phone into download mode and attaching to usb.
It was at the time...
...but I just got it working =] can't believe I went a month and a half without my Captivate and finally bought another just because of a bad cable =\
Any clue as to hat might have made the cable bad? It still charges phone and looks fine =\
Thanks 41LY45 for the cable suggestion and everyone else too for everything... now to root this new phone... (wont be easy this time Rogers and I guess its NAND locked or something)
Thanks again!

How I solved USB soft brick.
I had something similar, and have been searching for hours to find the following sollution:
Source: http://android.modaco.com/topic/309961-usb-brickrickrolledb0rked-fixed/
...
Also, SD card functionality has to work. For this, do 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode.
Steps involved:
1. Find out your CID. Go into fastboot mode, and do 'fastboot oem boot'.
The log will say something like the following:
Code:
#INFOTAG:Ramdisk OK
#INFOTAG:smi ok, size = 0
#INFOTAG:hwid 0x0
#INFOTAG:skuid 0x21F04
#INFOTAG:hero panel = 0x0
#INFOTAG:engineerid = 0x0
#INFOMCP dual-die
#INFOMCP dual-die
#INFOTAG:mono-die = 0x0
#INFODevice CID is not super CID
#INFOCID is HTC__E11
In this specific case, the CID is HTC__E11.
2. Get the following mtd0.img from here or from here: mirror provided by SgtDavePwnage.
Edit this image to the CID you found above with a hex editor.
3. Get flash_image from here or from here: mirror provided by SgtDavePwnage.
Move this to /data/ , and flash the modified image using:
"/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img"
You can move both mtd0.img and flash_image by putting it on your sdcard, and issueing the following command in a terminal emulator:
'cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image'
'cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img'
You might have to do 'chmod u+x /data/flash_image' before you run the commands (or chmod 755 /data/flash_image)
4. Repeat step 3 a couple of times if it doesn't seem to work well.
5. All done! Reboot, you should have normal usb connectivity. Post your 'fastboot oem boot' log and intermediate steps if it fails.

After that I followed the r4-legend-root Step 1 and skipped step two by placing Clockworkmod as update.zip on the SD.
Recovery Vol up + power. And I was back in the game. { I lost that other game while typing this }
It took me a while to learn all this. In 24 Hours 5 hours of actual work and frustration. But I'm There.
I hope this helps you as it did me.
I'm working on HTC Legend for a friend.
edit And I seem to have gotten the forum wrong.
I followed a suggestion for Similar threads... Nice feature
Hope it still helps

1. The option on mine is simply 'USB Debugging' and it should be checked to be enabled. Ensure this is set properly.
2. ADB drivers installed? Kies is shut down? Also make sure that you are not connecting to transfer files in the notification that pops up.
3. Try a different USB port.
Those are my suggestions.

zerg r runnning i did not checked the box "usb debugging"
now its running but i failed to root.. i got the same error from dr.kre post #9

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
i tried twice n it still failed..
i downgrade rom using pc odin from LA1 to KL3..
gosh i m going bonkers =(
how do i know if my hp was rooted if just by looking at kernel ver? ie, [email protected] ?
Hello all..
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, but I can't connect my problem to anything similar..
I've been removing system apps on my phone and, unfortunately I selected Lg Home in a group, and without noticing I deleted it.
I did restart it after it.. and the problems started.
I was able to select the custom Home by LG somehow, but I'm enable to go into settings (getting "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.")
After that, I noticed that I cannot do really anything on the phone.. my PC no longer recognize my device, usb debugging is disabled.
In addition, I cannot get into fastboot (boot loop, when I'm holding the keys),
I cannot go into recovery too.
I could only get to the LG hard reset page, did reset the phone.. with no success at getting anything back.
I have terminal emulator and SuperSU on my phone (it's rooted).
Is there anything I can do with the terminal? Like send LG drivers to my PC, or restarting in fastboot/recovery?
I even tried to flash the original ROM with LG Flesh Tool.
With that program I cannot get phone information, and when I try to flash I get a message saying that Upgrade stopped due to an error.
It asked me to restart and bla bla.. still same
I did try it from download mode, but my phone did not got recognized on the PC again, so nothing there too.
Whenever I connect the device to the PC, windows is searching for drivers for MTP Usb Driver (and fails everytime). Note: I did have those installed before I messed up the phone.
I have ADB and I'm working with cordova, so I tried to install another andorid on my pc, and it got recognized right away (every driver was installed without doing anything, and I can shell it).
Any advice?
Thanks.
Sorry for spamming..
But, nothing really??
