I went under settings, applications, and I do not have an option anywhere under any of the menus including development menu to allow applications to install from unknown sources. I have done everything in the Captivate User guide(rooting,backup,recovery).
I am trying to install market enabler.
Phone is Rooted.
Go to the development section and look at the sticky called enable sideloading. Or you can load the stock rom and use sre and it will enable it for you.

I am not exactly a power user yet. That was a whole lot of impossible for me.
Yes you found the right thread. You are going to have to get very comfortable with terms in threads like that if you plan to flash or modify your phone

SRE! I think it is suggested to un-root first. Check the sre thread, its a rom and kernel that roots, overclocks, removes bloatware if you want, unlocks tethering, installs busy box, installs app to fool the market so it thinks you're on another network and opens the ability to install unknown sources all in one update.zip.
Flash to stock with the odin one click and rename the sre file to update.zip and reboot into recovery and reinstall packages you'll have everything you ever want in a phone. For now.

I know all too well about that feeling after having my HTC Blackstone, From Winmo 6.1 - 6.5.5 and TF3D-Sense.
If you are having problems have a look at unleash the beast. It has an easy way to add sideloading. It also adds many other useful features.

No you can be rooted as long as your on the stock rom. I've flashed back and forth from sre to another rom a few times and as long as your on the stock firmware its fine if your rooted. Matter of fact I would recommend rooting stock, then clockwork mod recovery nandroid backup of stock rom before moving on to another invade there are problems. If you use Odin beforehand, I'm pretty sure it will wipe your backups making them useless. ymmv
I am having the same issue. When I try to install an app it says "Install blocked for security, your phone is set to block installation of application not sourced in Android Market". As a safty feature it will not let me install any file/app that was not downloaded from the market place. How did you get it to work? My friend has the same phone but thru verizon, he said all he had to do was go into settings/applications and uncheck some security feature. Please help.

I just want to take this moment and point something out to everyone else who has never used ADB or the command prompt before who is reading this thread:
It looks more intimidating then it actually is. Once you get in there and start fooling around, it's not as hard as you originally thought. I'm telling you all, take the plunge, and try it out. I promise it's not that hard, and if you run into trouble, there are literally thousands of people on XDA at any given point in time. Somebody will answer your question if they haven't already.

Hey,
I'm just wondering if there is a way to test if my phone is rooted or not? When I had Eclair on there, I did a lag fix, and rooted it. Later down the track I flashed a Froyo ROM onto my phone, didn't like that, so flashed back to stock Eclair. Tried another Froyo ROM, didn't like that either, so went back to stock Eclair again. I have recently flashed the stock Froyo rom that is on samfirmware.com, and I want to root it.
Under Kernel Version in About Phone, it says:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #7
Does this mean my phone is already rooted? I don't have the superuser app, nor do I have the root explorer app, so I am very confused as to the state of my phone at the moment..
Can someone please help?
P.S. The reason I want to root is I want it done before I apply [KERNEL] SpeedMod Froyo 339MB RAM XXJPX-Compatible, and I thought it would be best to have the phone rooted first...
Thanks
Denno
U could try terminal and just tipp su or try root explorer

where can I get the free root explorer? The one in the market is like 3 bucks...
Good question i found it extremely helpfull so 3 bucks was ok for me.try terminal or perhaps u can find it out with androzip but i dunno how
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can try the app found in the market called z4root. It is able to check your phone whether it has root, and if your phone has not been rooted, you can apply root from that app too.
Cheers

Thanks mate. I searched the market but couldn't find it? there is no results for z4root?
Z4root isn't in the market anymore i think search it on this forum
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If your phone is rooted you should have a app called SuperUser
Just found z4root in the forums, and put it on the phone.
I just opened it and pressed Permanent Root..
I know about having the superuser app, but my kernel version said root in it, so I was confused..
My phone has just restarted, and i now have the Superuser app, so I'm guessing that it's worked. Again, I don't know how to test it, but I think I can now safely a.... well as I was writting this, something popped up asking for super user rights, so I'm very confident that my phone is now rooted.
Thanks for the help all!

Hello, i have a Nexus One, Android 2.2.1, build FRG83D.
I bought a 2nd hand one, it has installed te Superuser permission but seems not rooted, i mean i tried several tools like titanium backup, that need root acces and they didn't get it.
I tried get root acces with universal androot, it says that its already rooted, i try to root it again, it fails.
Im wondering what can I do, I was thinking in flashing to a original rom, not cooked, but im not sure if i need root acces to do that.
How can I delete Superuser permissions and root the phone properly?
I'm new in android and I'm getting a little lost here.
Thanks in advance.
Now I'm just a noob myself with this stuff too. It sounds like u got it 2nd hand if so I would find an ruu or what ever is required to get ur phone back to original out of the box state. Then try again. But make sure to get one that is rootable because I have seen ones that aren't.

Since you're on FRG83D, you can root with this method:

You probably are rooted. However, some root apps (like Titanium Backup) require busybox to be installed as well as being rooted (otherwise those apps will give you an error saying you are not rooted, even though you are). Just install busybox from the market, and you should be fine.

You don't need to flash a cooked ROM if you don't want. Just flash a pre-rooted stock ROM, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396

I suspect it was rooted, but got an OTA update at some point, losing root, but keeping the Superuser apk and possibly even su and busybox, but without the necessary privileges...

Then you are not rooted. You just have the Superuser application installed on your phone (does not give root access). Re-root like danger-rat indicated.
EDIT: danger-rat beat me to it!
Just Rooted my phone, following the method danger-rat posted here.
Thanks a looot!

Maybe you refuse access to root and you remember your choice.
Try to go in superUser application and give TB root access.

Sure, read the threads buddy. Check the stickies first, and the general app section.
Learn how to root first.
Then learn whatever you want to do with your phone.

rooting by two methods
to root galaxy mini the easiest way is doing this by an update.zip or using superoneclick by shortfuse.org
For gt-s5570i and gt-s5570 here is the update.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576202 here you can get the update.zip
download update.zip and copy it to the root of your folder
1. switch off your phone press the home button and while pressing home button start the phone you will get to the recovery mode
2. in the recovery mode choose the 2nd option stated approximately as install sdcard/update.zip it will install the update
3. choose the first option reboot system now you mobile will restart if you find superuser app in you app drawer then your mobile is rooted
how to use superoneclick
1. download and install superoneclick on your pc
2. connect your device to your pc via data cable
3.start the usb debugging in your phone you can find usb debugging in setting--->application--->development--->usb debugging
4. when pc complete the driver installation open superoneclick which you installed earlier after oppening restart you pc
5. after restarting connect your device again open superoneclick and click on root in about 2 minutes your mobile will get root
6. superoneclick will ask for a test run it it will send su command on your device you will have to tap on yes to complete the test some time a toast message will appear showing that app has granted superuser permission it means your mobile has been rooted [rooting gingerbread with superoneclick will take more time than froyo]
Are you sure that SuperOneClick can only root 2.2 devices ?
Ive read that the latest SuperOneClcik can also root the Gingerbread versions.

I think superoneclick is only for rooting phones.
You should use Odin to update to a new Android, thus flashing a newer Android.

how you get rid of stock apps through odin
Okay i used the update.zip to root and after restarting I found the super user app. But when I open it says no " no apps in list" basically I can navigate through the app, i just dont see it do anything, I still can't figure out how to remove stock apps, what am I missing?

Hmmmm so after some pondering I decided to try something different. I installed ES file explorer and in the settings menu activated both root settings available, doing so led the all powerful superuser flash screen granting superuser powers to the es file explorer. now using the explorer I have tried deleting the preinstalled apps that came with the phone but imagine they still refuse to uninstall!! What is it gonna take to get rid of em. The operA mini 5 and quick office are annoying me everytime i see them oh oh and the useless samsung apps app that always wants to download a huge update whenever I try using it keeps taunting me. They need to go.

my stock froyo had too many useless apps already installed that i couldnt remove...........so i guess when i flashed GB, those apps simply vanished.
i didnt do anything special with odin to get that result......

i also faced the same problem so i just removed it.
Now that I am certain I have rooted what next? I was under the impression that rooting would give me powers such as changing app permissions that were installed and those that are to be installed such as whether to allow or deny internet access, deny unnecessary permissions that some apps demand etc. instead I am disappointed to realize it only grants superuser powers to only apps that demand such powers. Meaning it only gives apps with demand for more power the licence to roam free unprohibited instead of offering me the power to curb the powers of some apps that I consider have too much permissions already, am I right?
So now that am root compliant what next? What apps do you lot consider to be essential utilities in a rooted phone that previously I could not install?
