Also try VISIONary from the Market and let us know if that works on the N1 2.2.1. I have a hunch it might, but I'm already rooted.

No. SuperOneClick, or one of the other options...

I just confirmed myself, VISIONary from the Market roots 2.2.1 on-device. Have fun!
Is root with VISIONary permanent, or do you have to run it every time the phone is rebooted?
Try it, and report back...

Seems like r10 VISIONary (currently on the market) perm-roots the N1. At least I get "already rooted" whenever I run it even after storage wipe and reboot. I personally wanted only temp-root.
Please don't spam threads. There is already a Superuser zip file from ChainsDD which is quite well-used and well-documented. And this thread was from over a year ago and was about a completely different topic.
Hi guys.
I have my captivate running froyo. that's about all I know, though. I was hoping someone could tell me what rom I am running or distro I am running, because I am clueless. I have heard cognition is good, and if I can update to it without losing all my settings I will (assuming I dont have it now. I could, like i said, clueless.). Here is what my phone says in the about phone section:
Firmware version: 2.2
Model number SAMGSUNG-SGH-I897
Baseband version: I897UCJI6
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee(at)sep-11 #1 (sorry for wording it this way, i could not post the topic with the at symbol because it thought it was an outside link)
Build Number: FROYO.UCJI6
ok, that's everything I think. Now, if someone can help me root this version, that's just dandy. If not, I would be willing to update to one that has a viable root availible for it already. I had eclair rooted before updating to froyo, and I miss my wifi tethering and backups.
Thank you in advance to anyone who offers help, I greatly appreciate it.
Hey I'm sorry I can't really help you, but I'm running the eclair rooted and I've been trying to get wifi tethering working but it just force closes everytime. If you could let me know how you were able to do it or point me in the right direction I'd be forever grateful.

You are on the original leak of froyo. I am not sure how to root it. If I were you I would back up all my apps using titanium backup, flash stock with odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Then look at flashing a 2.2 rom that us pre rooted
You can not flash a rom from the leaked version you are on

no offense taken, my reason for making a new thread was because I did not what version I was using, and therefore could not sort out what information was applicable. But, either way, thanks!
With a triumphant thrusting of both fists in to the air, losing my balance in my chair and falling to the ground upon seeing the little "superuser permissions" app after reboot, you have my eternal gratitude. Thank you so much!
Edit: oh crap... now my menu, home, back and search buttons do not work! any idea what I can do to fix this?
Not a problem. I am happy it worked out
edit. Try reboot. If that don't work an odin flash will do it but you will lose apps and settings

dernit. It did not work. well, at least i got it rooted, it's a good start. maybe i can figure it out
What did you do. it will suck but if you take your time you can get through. I would work toward getting titanium downloaded. You nasty have to reboot a couple of times.
I would get off of ever leaked froyo either way, if you are ever going to move to something else you will have to flash stock

im thinking I'm just going to go back to eclair, and root. I could do everything i wanted to on that, except for having flashplayer. so yeah. I guess, since all my contacts are synced with my gmail account, it's no big deal. i can re-do my home page and reinstall my apps thanks to appbrain. I mean, after all, it's just a phone.
That is correct. It is just a phone. If you are at all unfamiliar with odin our ned help getting back to 2.1 on me

before I start counting my chickens, let me wait for them to hatch. I've been following the directions for flashing back to 2.1, so i'll let you know how it goes.
Edit: It worked, now I just have to set up everything and re-install my apps. Thank you for your help, I'm just taking the "patience is a virtue" approach from now on haha. only thing I will really miss is the little arrow thing that makes it easier to pick a spot in a body of text. oh well
There is a basic no frills froyo rom in the developement section. I believe its ji6 optimized or something like that. It comes with 2e recovery and root access built in. Sorry I just log off my computer otherwise I would post you links. But backup with tibu. And take a look at that rom in the developement section. You will need rom manager from the market. But after downloading ji6 optimized,copy to your internal sd card. Then open rom manager and select install rom from zip. Select the froyo rom and follow instructions. You will then have a rooted froyo minus att bloat with flash.
I would give more detail but I have thumb cramps now lol. But tomorrow I can help if u need it.

I have saved on my computer Ryan's z4root.apk from 2-3 weeks ago, that will still Root won't it if I ever need on Stock 2.1.1?
I'd suppose it would - he just had to take out the root feature for some reason. The application wasn't defective.
Since upgrading to Gingerbread 2.3.3, I've lost the root access I had on Froyo. I used the RageAgainstTheCage method before and found that worked well. I could easily re-root after each update to Froyo, but it doesn't work now that I have updated to Gingerbread.
Is there a 1-Click Root or something fairly simple, similar to RageAgainstTheCage perhaps, that I can use to root my device without unlocking the bootloader??
I've heard some people mention Ginger Break?
Thanks, Steve.
No.
Whatever 'Gingerbreak' is is unreleased yet, apparently the dev wants a few more devices in the wild first.
Simple? Sure...
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
So if my bootloader is unlocked what else do I have to do at that point, push a custom recovery? I was under the impression that none had been updated for 2.3 on the nexus one yet.

Recovery is version independent. Flash one, then use it to flash ChainsDD's su files.
Yup, flash a new recovery, then use the recovery to flash on the su update file
Alright cool thanks, didn't want to come off as ignorant on the matter but to be honest sometimes it feels like getting detailed information is kinda tough with all the threads that get created on the same subject and how large some of them get.

Reports I've read indicate that the rageagainstthecage exploit doesn't work for 2.3.3.
If the soft-root exploits don't work on 2.3.3, simply downgrade to a 2.2 version, soft-root it, install a custom recovery and then flash a root 2.3.3 ROM...
I'm not completely certain, but I don't think you can downgrade either. At least I've not heard of anyone succeeding with the passimg approach yet...

Anyone need help????
but if i downgrade to 2.2.2 and root the n1 while its in 2.2.2. Wont it come out of root when I put the stock 2.3.3 on. Atleast for me the whole reason I went to 2.2.2 is so i can get the stock verison of gingerbread. I do want to root my phone but I dont wanna use a different rom as of now I wanna keep the stock verison of gingerbrad that I got from google. I guess my real question is without the ramble, Once I downgrade and root the Phone wont I lose root once I put the stock 2.3.3
Just install a pre-rooted stock 2.3.3...

On the oneclickroot program there's an option to " allow non market apps" to unlock your phone you'll need to SEARCH xda or Google/xda on the one click unlocker for captivate. Some captivates it works others are to new. + galaxy s unlocker in the market has proven to work for some.
