How do you Root Froyo on the Captivate the Easiest way?

I have the one click root on my computer. I was able to root stock 2.1 but not Froyo. I cant seem to get a normal Update.zip to reinstall to root it. Can anyone help me out with this? Thank you

Have you used adb before? Its easy. Just need to get the sdk dev kit. Then go here.

If you're comfortable with flashing Froyo using adb shouldn't be a problem.

I sent smokestack a PM to see if he can help me out on how to do it. I just flashed the phone with Froyo following the directions here. I wasnt to sure about what I was doing but I did everything and it all eventually worked out well, with a couple scares lol. Im new to the rooting scene. I mean Im pretty savy when it comes to certain stuff and I was easy to install beta leaks and builds with BlackBerrys for 3 years. Im new to Android since the Captivate came out, so Im slowly trying to learn the tricks of the trade

Sent you a reply as well.

I was wondering if someone was also willing to help me, the instructions on the link are kinda of vague I think

we are working on it

Seems that adb does not like Win7. Anyone else see issues?

The instructions seemed clear as day to me. Put the phone in debug mode, use adb to push the files, execute a shell script, use sqlite3 to allow side loading, change permissions on the files you pushed, and reboot.

I think what they are looking for is where to put the files that they download. I know in the rooting tread, it was missing. I also think some people do it differently, so it may help just to let them know how you find it easiest to navigate to them, etc.
Personally, I take the files that were downloaded and extract them all. Then make sure you have downloaded the android SDK program and put it on the root of your computers hard drive such as drive C:. Then add those files you downloaded to the "Tools" file within sdk.
To navigate to them with command prompt, it would look like: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run the commands as listed in the tread.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for, but if you are comfortable flashing roms, flash Cognition 2.2 (its already rooted).
Good luck

I'm running W7 and am having issues with adb. I'm a noob to android but I'm learning. Anyway, I tried your suggestion of adding the files to the tools directory but when I enter "su" the system returns "su: not found". Any help?

Need Help guys. No Media Center after Root

Hello. I rooted my Atrix and have had no problems. I deleted most of the bloatware. I also put the settings in for the apn and access wifi hotspot via this forum.
Just a couple minutes ago, I plugged in the HDMI cable to show my mother some stuff on the phone and how the Media Center is but it wouldnt come up. It came up before I did all the root. But now, when plugged in it would pop up on my screen asking what to select and then it would go away. Can someone help me on what possibly might have happened? I would really appreciate this. Thank you so much.
Nick

sounds like you deleted something when you were removing the bloatware.
as advised in other threads, don't remove it, freeze it with titamium backup.
do a factory reset and pray it comes back.

It wont come back after a factory reset so....what you have to do is get the retail motoblur dump file and push the apks to the phone using ADB. Remember to push them to the sytem not /data.
Thank desigegears for telling me this.

Yes I did a factory reset and it didnt come back. I just read the thread that talked about that uptop after I did this. I feel so bad. I screwed up. How do I get the Retail Motoblur dump file? And pushing the APKs to the phone using ADB. I havent done this in a while. Please any help I would really appreciate it.

One of the devs posted it on the forum, not sure where. MAybe on page two? just scroll down. To push them to adb, designgears posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966405 which shows how to push files. Just push the mediacenter one.

Thank you for the info. Im downloading a file where the dump said Blur_Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US.tar.gz is that correct? It was in this forum. But the fileformat I dont know what to open that up with. Its like 145MB. I had to PM Designgears because I really dont know how to do this. I would just need the 1 file? I do have the phone rooted with Root Explorer. Anyway I can get the file on the phone and cut and paste it in the right path?

Ok that was the right file. I do have the mediacenter.apk file now. Anyway I can put this on there with the phone rooted? I have root Explorer and can paste that apk in there.

Use 7 zip to open the file. Got to the app folder and find the one named media center. Push that file or paste it into /system

I used psneuter for the root method inside s1c (should be default). I heard prior to using s1c that gingerbreak wasn't working on this phone.

Well after breaking the command prompt on my laptop(vista...) I got it on my old desktop. Problem was computer sucked. So if anyone has a crappy computer. When it freezes. On your phone endebug. Wait about twenty seconds. It'll freeze again. Debug it. It'll freeze again. Undebug again. Itll process about half of the information. Then this time it wont freeze but it'll wait for you to debug it again. Then it'll install superuser and test it. So Gingerbreak. Freeze. Undebug. Freeze. Debug. Freeze. Undebug. Ask for root. Debug.
Hey not everyone has good computers now

The original was not a real zip, it's a rar. Rename it to .rar and open it with 7-zip. If not, re-download it. Preferably here: http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2. Supposedly that one's a bonafied zip.

I'll put the link up on the original post, so these will get windows to stop asking for drivers even after they are installed via boostrap already?

Yeah, this is the complete set of drivers for this device (nothing omitted). It will go through the process of setting up the drivers one more time, and then never again (it should find everything).

Ok so I used the drivers from that page and when I use S1C it gets to running psnsuter (or gingerbreak both do the same thing) it never gets any further.. I even waited like 15mins.. I have usb debug on and internet connection mode. I tried the manual adv method and when I run the. rage command in adb shell adb restarts but my phone never shows back online doing the adb devices command... I am at a loss.... have used both win 7 and win XP.

[TOOL] 1Click_CWR

I have made a small utility that will install CWR on the LG thrill. Untested on the optimus 3D....
Thanks to designgears for outlining the original procedure in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257588
WARNING:
Your warranty is now void.
I take no responsibility for bricked, dead, or unresponsive phones. If you are uncomfortable using this tool, then DON'T. Furthermore, I created this utility for my phone, and decided to share it with the community.
This utility was coded in c# in a windows 7 environment. I can only speak to this working on windows 7. If it works on XP, great; but I only tested it on my windows 7 system. Confirmed working in XP by: gentzleon
Before you begin:
Phone must be rooted!!! Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251663
Must have an SD card in the phone.(This is used for the storage of the recovery backup)
Drivers MUST be installed! ( Direct Link: Here)
Instructions:
1). Plug phone into computer via USB cable.
2). Turn on USB Debugging mode
3). Launch 1click_CRW with admin privilages (right click->run as Administrator)
4). Enjoy
Notice
Because people have different computer speeds and the fact I wrote this in 10 minutes, there is a pause between each command. Just click 'ok' when the popup messages says waiting.....Its fool proof.
ALSO: I did not put any error checking in it because I did not feel the need. I created this for fun and decided to share it.
If you see an error from ADB like no devices found, make sure your drivers are installed and restart the computer.

Sure no prob at all.

This installed cwr just fine but when i try to make a backup or install a new rom it says error cannot mount sd card does anyone know y this would happen

Freaking sweet. I was hoping to find something easier to do this with that having to go through the other method to flash GB Roms. That is what this is for right?

All those having problems installing, make sure all your permissions to /data are checked-(all 9) if not you will not be able to install recovery...
To set permissions you must;
Have root explorer or the free app ES file explorer.
---Navigate to /data and press and hold
---Select properties
---you will see at the bottome where it says permissions an option to change
--- Select change and make sure all are checked.,
---click out, reboot phone and it should all work..
There have been instances where the folder will change back permissions or not save the new permissions so just perform it again... Enjoy the 1 click CWM Now If this could be included in the script it will make it fool proof.....

I think I may change this app and create it in a windows form...I will have a button that follows the same procedure as it does now, and a second button to fix permissions..However, should I have it apply the permission change to the entire /data? Seems unsafe to me, but I'm paranoid.
Also, work has been long, and my wife and I are in the final process of buying a new house. So that is why I haven't been on much.

[Q] Rooting my HTC one running 4.3 Android

Hey guys, I am very frustrated right now because I have been trying to root my phone for over 5 hours and have not gotten anywhere. This is my first time rooting, and I really would appreciate your guys knowledge and help. I have windows, and I have been reading and watching videos and downloading all kinds of things. I tried following the steps in htconeroot.com and I watched the whole video tutorial, and I couldn't even get the htc one root zip downloaded to my computer... Can someone please help me, I am completely lost. I feel like I have just been reading and trying things that are outdated and/or the links do not work anymore. Thank you very much, as I am in need right now and I would really like to get my phone rooted as soon as possible.
Thanks again!

Hey, thank you very much for helping out BD,
I am just learning all this stuff so sorry if I may not know what to do on very basic steps.
My first question is,
on step 5 on htcdev bootloader, it tells me to type in a command. I typed it and I got this, "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
Sorry man, if you get me through this lol I promise I will get you some fine Costa Rican coffee! I want to get it done, I hope you can be here guiding me and I am very thankful!

Howdy,
You need to download all the drivers and add bundle. Which OS do you use on your computer? For the adb get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474956
If you need any further assistance just tell and I can make a quick video for you.

Open the cmd window from the folder with all the files that you downloaded

Download and install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 and check the desktop shortcut in the setup. Run the new desktop shortcut and type commands there. Put the unlock token bin in the install folder. You can do this by right clicking the shortcut and clicking open file location and drag the token there.

All the files are under download, I went to the cmd window and typed download. Man, I have no idea how to do any of this stuff. I am completely new to all of this. I downloaded the files but then I don't even know if I am suppose to do anything with them...
I will restart again, as if I have not downloaded anything at all...
My first steps should be following the bootloader instructions on HTCdev, and at step 4 I download the files and then extract them to another folder. Then I should go hit start, type cmd. Click cmd, and type that stuff? That is what I did, where did I go wrong?

If you can wait for a bit I can make a video guide, if you wish? Just tell, cheers

I really appreciate you guys on not giving up on me, BD should I download the root files before doing anything else?
Also, since I feel like an idiot about this stuff. Because everyone seems to have no problems and I can't even unzip a file or open a command. I had to google to even know what unzipping a file meant.
Is there any files I should have on my computer prior to attempting to download anything else in the guide? Also, should I just make a folder and name it something like androidroot, and then whenever I download a file, copy it to the desktop and try to open it?

It askes me to use a program to open the file with, the guy on the video is able to just save it with no problem on his desktop then move it to the root file. Whenever it gives me options to manually select the program I can choose to open the bin and I click the root folder, the options of programs it gives me are th HTC driver, fastboot, cmd, another folder saying stock recovery and boot images, and adb?
I have no clue, it doesn't give me an option to just save it to the desktop like how the guy in the vid did. Plus it says windows can't open the file and it asks me to search the web for a program to open the file or to just open the file with an already installed program, I just dont know what program to choose.
Thanks for sticking with me, really appreciate it.

I have no clue, it doesn't give me an option to just save it to the desktop like how the guy in the vid did. Plus it says windows can't open the file and it asks me to search the web for a program to open the file or to just open the file with an already installed program, I just dont know what program to choose.
Thanks for sticking with me, really appreciate it.

Are you right clicking the .bin?
If you left click it will try to open.

Yeah I did both, the problem is it doesn't give me an option to save as because its on my email (gmail.) I'm using firefox webbrowser, the only options I have is to hit the download arrow or show in drive. If I right click it, the options are
back, forward, bookmark this page or save page as, background image. Just the regular options.

Haha I am so happy right now, that worked. Thank you, now to root it and do the recovery part

OKay, ran into another problem just now.
Whenever I open the cmd on the root folder, and type in adb reboot boot loader, it gave me a message saying device offline?
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device offline
thats exactly what happened

Ok go into setting/about/software/more and tap the build number 7 times it will enable developer options
then go to settings/dev options and UNcheck then re-check USB Debugging you will now get a popup on your phone with an RSA number check the box that says always allow from this PC and hit OK.
Your device should show as device rather then offline
