I had 2.2 when 2.3 OTA came out, but I had recently rooted my phone so I ended up getting cyanogen 7.
After a few weeks my phone started glitching about so I put the update.zip file on my SD card to put 2.3.3 on my N1.
Last night I tried to root my phone to get the new cyanogen release candidate, and once I rooted through superboot, my phone started to reboot and would never load past the Nexus rainbow. I fixed it with the PASSIMG method, but I'd still like to root and get custom roms.
What happened why can't I root? I tried it a second time and I got the same pproblem so I reverted back to 2.2

Hey guys,
I got a google g1, and I have loved it on its stock 1.6. However I wanted to root it and get it. up to android 2.0 using various roms around here. Anyways, so I followed the how to thread and it got me downgraded to rc 29, but everytime I try to boot into recovery mode and apply the hardspl update from my sdcard, I get an error that it says it is not verified, and that the update failed...any way around this?
Thanks!

The bar has not filled up...What to do? Quit and try again?
USed Clockwork mod to find and install OTA'JH7.zip
Searched for it
found it
Installing hangup and nothing in the bar indicating anything is being done
Did you have any lagfixes installed prior to trying to update?

My history is as follows:
Stock to Root
Back to stock
Installed JH7 via mini Kies
BAck to stock
(Learned how to use adb to get into download mode)
Loaded Froyo "Officical beta"
Wanted to try the Clockwork mod so I went back to stock using ODIN
Installed the Zip files in proceeded to install Clockwork then searched for and found the OTA file
There are two files out there. JH7_OTA.zip and JTA_OTA_STOCK.zip
The latter did not work and hung up on install..I loaded the former and it installed.
Now a few questions regarding Clockwork
I dropped the Cognition 2.2 5 in my root directory..Can I load that in the same way? Then go back to the JH7 when the Official 2.2 froyo comes out? Whether rooted or not?
If I want to root the phone I will have two update.zips in the root directory (Clockwork and the root upadate.zip)...Must I remove Clockwork? IS it loaded or does it execute from the zip every time? Can I rename the Root update.zip to something else now that I can "find" it with Clickwork?
I like the clockworkmod and will definitely pay for it if it allows me to change ROMS I place on the SD on the fly rooted or unrooted (would never need to go back to JH6 and deal with adb if so)
Final question,,,Shoudl I use clockwork to "reset the battery?"
I do not intend to do any lagfixing beyond whatever is in Cognition since that seems to be more of a problem than it may be worth
Thanks...Its been two weeks since i became an Andriod fan and i have learned alot.....and still am
Read the Cog wiki, there have been so many versions I can't remember all of them and the install instructions, some you needed to flash through Clockwork. Cog 2.2 5 Is Froyo whicj means you can not use Clockwork to flash anything with Froyo running because Froyo is not an official release and is BETA it is not signed, Koush hasn't found a way to sign it in order for Clockwork to work with it yet. Clockwork is worth having the paid version yes. You must be rooted to use ROM Manager so unrooting you loose access.
If you are using JH7 that you flashed check if you have SuperUser in your apps drawer, if so you are rooted. Get used to Odin if you are going to mod your phone you will use it more than you think and it becomes less scarey the more you use it.
You've already modded your phone so OTA updates will not work for you, mini kies will so go ahead and flash away, you will eventually have to flash with Odin to update with mini kies so go have fun. Also, those guys on the dev section will have the official up as soon as it comes out. We had JH7 within a few hours, none of us could do the OTA and AT&T bricked a lot of phones so I will only use stuff from Samsung anyways.

Yeah I have two phones and one is the guinea pig. I have my main phone on the pre release of Froyo. I am practicing getting the second phone eventually from Cognition2.2 5 to Samsung's official release. I have used ODIN probably 10 times to get back to JH6 where I have to use the adb SDK to get into recovery/Download modes.
The OTA updates did not work for either phone which is why I began modding and learning, Mini Kies was the only way to get JH7 until now with Clockwork.
I am new to android
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
i was running rooted stock. Did forever root, flashed update 893, flashed liberty 3 rom. I noticed that the version went back to 886 so i did oneclick instead of backup to try again. While running oneclick i got INFOPreinstallation error on the boot.img write. Everything else flashed then i tried to root and it gave me an error as well. My phone is running fine but i cant root. Is my phone done or can o root again?
think you may have turned yours into a bastard hybrid
it can be fixed, just have to find the fix, it's linked in one of the .893 threads
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!
