[Q] Problem rooting Stock froyo captivate - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I just purchased my Captivate yesterday from Costco (Expecting to still get the 2.4 Eclair) but unfortunately I got the Froyo 2.2 on my new captivate.
I tried rooting it using superoneClick and it just gets stuck on "Waiting for Device". I have drivers properly installed on my windows 7 64 bit machine (because I can use the phone and access its internal SD card).
Can anyone have suggestion or faced similar problems?
I have tried disabling/re-enabling usb debgging while it says "Waiting for the device"

Search the forum. There are a few threads floating around on different ways to root the stock froyo build. I don't know why the superoneclick wont work in your case but a search will turn up some info for you.

thanks. I will search the the threads and will post my results here in this thread for someone like me struggling with the same problem.

If you were planning on flashing a custom ROM after rooting anyway, you could use Odin one-click from download mode to flash 2.1 eclair, and then go from there.

Are you sure you are enabling debugging? I just used superoneclick on my phone last night after I flashe dback to stock.
First thing I do is change the phone in settings to - Ask on Connection, then I enable debugging.
Also you could try a different USB port on your computer and also make sure you have all of your necessary drivers installed.
I hope you get it figured out!

PeteSeiler2010: I haven't tried different USB port yet. I will try tonight and see if it goes through.
For usb debugging, I tried that as I mentioned. Let me just conform what I did. When it says "Waiting for device" for several seconds, I disconnected USB cable from either phone or computer (because it says that if you are stuck on "waiting for device", disable and re-enable usb debugging) because without disconnecting the cable, phone didn't let me disable the USB debugging..
So looks like I am missing something here??

want a much easier method? install speedmod kernel using odin, reboot into recovery, advanced features (not the CWM version), and choose the option that says something like "root phone" and choose the "simple" option. congratulations, you are now rooted and running a custom kernel with CWM that can install a custom ROM.
next time, please do not post this in development as this has NOTHING to do with development. Q&A or general next time, please.

How did someone with no posts, post a question in this section? I thought you had to have a minimum of 10 posts to post in here.

I am sorry if I have missed that rule for the new posting but I am new (just two days old) into the android world and for the xda forums as well..

Problem making pc to recognize phone.

Hello ppls.
I've read some similar threads about this problem, tried some solutions, didn't worked and they didin't really had my situation.
So lets begin. My phone isn't recognized by my computer of anysort. When i plug the device i get this error: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) .Tried solutions for the error with no succes.
I run Windows 7 64 bit,4gb Ram, Intel Quad Core 2,2 Ghz. I downloaded the drivers for the device from samsung, bummer when i manually try to update the drivers and set the path to where the drivers are it says The device is already up to date,even with online search.
What i've tried so far:
1. Tried in normal condition with KIES. Debugging off.
2. Debuggind on. Same
3. Different PC with windows 7 32 bits, same error, same solutions that don't work
4. Updating .Net framework
5. Installing a program that automaticly detects drivers. It didnt even see it.
6. Checking the cable for corrosion or anything else faulty. Cleaned it even.
7. Yelling are the stupid phone !!
Thank you.

Have you tried with a different USB cable?
No because i connected succesfully my friends galaxy fit with it, so the cable is not the problem.
thry manualy installing galaxy s drivers on pc?
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
Try different drivers.
Make sure you're using a Samsung wrong with the Samsung drivers.
Use a different PC.
Keep trying!
I gave up...I tried everything.Spent hours of searching forums and applying solution, nothing works... Tried On 3 different pc's. 1 with win 7 64bit, and the rest win 7 32 bit. I can't manually install the drivers either. Says there are already up to date when i set a location for the drivers to detect...I can't even use it as mass storage.

To try using different drivers you would need to uninstall the current driver.
And just to be sure, you didn't flash to CM7/MIUI recently, not realizing Samsung drivers won't recognize your phone anymore, right? Nexus S drivers for those ROMs.
Its on the original ROM i think. Recently bought it second hand, 1 year old.
I couldn't find different drivers...except 32 bit and 64bit, but they all are the same version. Maybe post a link or something. Mine are 1.4.4.
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version i9000XXJVO
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-i9000xwjvh - CL184813 [email protected] #Dark_core_2.4 Mon May 16 15:02:38 EEST 2011
Build Number: DarkyRom JVH v10.1
SOLVED. The problem was from the ROM Darky 10.2. I went to a service did a resoft donno how they do it, installed me the original gingerbread 2.3.4 and now works like a charm!

Just for future reference, this site is filled with tutorials on how to do just that. In fact, that is what this site is all about—new ROMs, new ideas, and how to get them onto your device. Look around next time.

Dude i'm not the kinda of guy that doesn't research first. Like i mentioned i tried everything i found with no effect. The thing is, the problem reappeared after a day, with the new rom. Took it back to the service, said its a virus from some apps i installed...Is it possible? Thing is, it worked even after i restored all my apps.
I couldn't change the rom either because neither Odin or Heimdall saw my phone, if that is what you reffered to. If you know how to resoft a phone without the pc recognizing it (not even as a composite USB device in download mode or debugmode) and just Showing in Odin or Heimdall "Unknown Device" and failed at installing ClockworkMod, be my guest and redirect me to the tutorial, or tell me how to do it.
Thx

How can i use Mobile Odin if i can't root it?

Throw it against the wall then. You ask us for help, disregard all of it, and then update us on what the service desk told you. If you will only listen to them, then don't ask us, kay? Appreciated.
Hi, there.
Actully, the rahbert's question is not bad. How can i use Mobile Odin if i can't root the device?
Or, how can I root without PC? Is it possible? I have exactly the same problem:
Nexus S (I9020), ICS 4.0.4(stock). When I plug the device: the error is reported(Code 43).
Should I try wipe data/factory reset? I really don't want to do this, because there is another good question: How can I fully backup my data(Titanium and so on) without root access? Can you suggest me something? Thanks.

[Q] computer can't see Galaxy S

my samsung galaxy s is not recognized by my computer no matter what i do!
don't know why, i've done some research, no results.
i've installed Kies, which i assume already installs the drivers, but when i connect, the computer shows no sign of connection (it says that i need to update drivers in device manager??) i tried different USB ports, toggled USB debugging on/off, NOTHING WORKS
the reason i want my computer to recognize the galaxy is because i want to update it to android 2.3.5 via odin. but when i enter download mode, the computer doesn't recognize it. when i'm in the system, the computer STILL doesn't recognize it...???
please somebody help, it's rooted, running a different MIUI version (not the ones in xda dev section), i'm not sure where i got it from, but it's called an ENG_MIUI?
CM7 (and subsequently MIUI) is built from the Nexus S source code, so find the proprer drivers for it. "CM7 drivers" should be a sufficient google search. Also, Kies sometimes interferes while using the other drivers. If you run into any problems, uninstall Kies.

To get your phone recognized you need nexus s drivers. But that won't help you get it recognized by kies.
You need stock firmware on your phone to get it updated through kies.

I have same problem previously. But it solved after I do this: while Kies open, select Tools then press Install driver.
thanks guys, but how would i go about doing that? the directions i found don't make any sense?

Just to clarify, this won't help you. Samsung uses Samsung drivers. Since you do not currently have Samsung firmware on your phone, this won't do you any good. As previously stated by two very informative posters, you will need the Nexus S drivers to recognize your phone.
And, also as previously stated by just an absolutely wonderfully helpful poster, if you do a simple google search you'll find exactly what you need. Try either Nexus S Driver, CM7 Driver, Nexus S CM7 Driver, or really anything else similar. You could also check the CM7 Wiki, as I'm sure there would be a link for them there. And finally, if you simply search XDA Developers, I'm sure you'd find plenty of posts with what you need.
Hopefully that helps.
thanks
now my computer can see it when it's in android, but why does it STILL not see my Galaxy S in download mode???
do i need another set of drivers? (it said driver not found)
BTW THANKS GUYS!!! sorry if i'm being annoying
hello??
anybody??
Well did you install the Nexus S drivers yet?

yes, the nexus s drivers are installed, but i STILL can't connect through download mode...
try different computer, install samsung driver then connect your phone

Well, it seems to be a driver issue!
Try these (32-bit windows) but make sure that you are having a fresh win7 installed just in any case that your reg got corrupted with drivers (Ime ).
Still not working,then try on another pc..!

Well, CM7 drivers won't help SGS to get recognized on PC on DLD mode, you need another set of drivers and not those Nexus S's. I had the above ones installed on my PC (Google's your Best friend ) .
I had to install the drivers manually,
Right click on computer, click manage -> device something -> find your device in the list, select to update driver, search manually and enter the path to your android sdk and search.
Worked like a charm to me

hi
i had same problem, but computer recognize the device as "unknown device"
in all modes, developed, storage etc...
i am close to think thats is problem of internal usb driver of the rom
want to downgrade from de device, whitout usb, but i dont know how do it, because i am not root, and its no possible in 2.3.4 whituot usb.
thanks
I had a lot of similar issues with my I9000, too.
Tried everything on ROM and driver side also on different computers.
Finally it turned out that my Micro USB connector was corroded.
I have around 30 people in our company that have the same phone, and 5 of them had similar issues. I guess it's a common problem with this device.
I took a toothpick and cleaned the contact of the connector by sliding it up and down for a couple of million times. This also did the trick for my colleagues.
I think it's at least worth to try it.
Good luck
i try to clean the contact, but still cant connect to the computer.
I wonder if a method of degrading the system with a signed rom from the recovery, without using the USB cable or ODIN.
i have a same problem. Any new solution?

Computer doesn't detect P990 through USB

Ok guys I'm a noob around here. I've had my P990 for about 7 months and I'm ready to throw it against the wall:crying: I've been searching for info on this type of fault and I read that it happens pretty often. I really didn't have the need to plug my phone to my computer, so I never did, until about two days ago I decided I was bored with my stock phone and decided to install the latest version of android, so I downloaded the LG IV suite. Installed it, I'm following the directions, connect my phone and bam, NOTHING I kept getting an error on the LG suite, can't find phone, check connection and try again. At this time I also notices that my phone was charging through the USB cable. So my basic troubleshooting techniques kicked in, and performed the basic steps:
-Made sure Mass storage only box is checked
-Switched USB cable
-Re-installed the driver
-Downloaded the latest driver from LG website
-Downloaded drivers recommended by XDA
-Tried two other computers with two different OS
So none of this worked:crying:
After monkeying around for a couple of hours with my phone, I read somewhere on this forum to take out the battery, connect to USB cable to your computer, hold down the power and volume down buttons at the same time, this would put my phone in some mode, I don't know what that mode is, but decided to do it. My phone powers up, then I see the green android little man with a white box and an arrow coming out of the box. Ok, finish doing it's thing and then it reboots. I go into my phone and find that everything has been erased and the phone was back to it's original state when I received it over the mail.
Since my phone is back to stock, I decided to go the root road. Downloaded SuperOneClick, installed it connect my phone via USB and I'm back to step one. I get nothing!!! So then I decide to go the root flash road. So I downloaded the z4root adk file and put in the flash, pop the flash in my phone and nothing. Can't see my flash card on my phone (never used an SD card on my phone and decided to buy one for this instance). Kept reading on-line and found that I need a file manager application, so I installed Linda Manager on phone, opened the z4root adk file and installed on my phone. So now I'm getting very excited and I'm giggling like a school girl because I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. So I run the z4root application and go with permanent selection, the application start the root, then BAMMMMMMM. The application just stops and my phone takes me to my home page. I decide to restart the z4root application and I can't get the app to run. I re-booted my phone, restarted the app, and keep getting stuck. The app stops and I can't never successfully get a root. I'm out of ideas, I've going at it with my phone for two day and reading on the net.
The two thing I want to accomplish is to be able to use my phone via the USB cable and to root my phone. Can you guys point me in the right direction. At this point I'm willing to try anything on my phone since everything got erased.
by the way here's is what stock I'm running on my phone:
Android version: 2.2.2
Baseband version: 1035.21_20110725
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Built number: FRG83G
LGE version: LGP990-V10d
My computer is running Windows Vista, I also tried a Window 7 and a Windows XP computer and still nothing for the USB.
I would appreciate any help guys, throw me a bone over here:laugh:
Same thing happened to my friend. No USB detection (the phone was charging through usb but nothing showed up on the pc). He tried everything then he called me (I have o2x too) , i tried everything you did too. His pc detected my o2x , but when he connected his (on the same cable) ... nothing .
Finally he remembered the phone had warranty and took it to tech suppport. First they reflashed it , but when he tried it home ... nothing . He took it to support again , they kept it for about 10 days and told him they had to change the motherboard.
Phone works now.
He was on stock froyo too , Vodafone Romania version.

Sorry for the bump, but I got some update.
when dialing the above mentioned 1809#*990# in the Port menu, switching from default AP USB to AP/CP UART gave me life signs.
After switching to AP UART I linked the Unknown device driver to lgusbdiag.inf located in C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/LG United Mobile Driver.
Suddenly it started installing it and is now recognized as: LGE Platform Android USB Device.
Once disconnected I lose USB again, I'm able to recreate the first steps though even in default AP USB mode by now.
The only thing I need USB for is for flashing a custom recovery but the only thing I don't have is ADB somehow : / Clockwork telling me: device not found.
Any help on this one?

Well I'm pretty tired of monkeying around with this phone, but I really like phone and really don't want to change model. So I decided to order a brand new one:laugh:
I should be getting it within the next two week, hopefully that doesn't give me the same problem
I'll keep you guys updated.
Help??
A very good friend of us noobs toying with our O2x's are Paul O'Brien.
I could not get any other flashing tool to root my O2X other than his. Here is link to his guide:
modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/#entry1645587
He also has the tool to completely restore your O2X back to factory standards, and in the O2X forum here you will find all the different stock roms, you need to get your phone back to these factory standards and restore your warranty.
After you flashed your phone and get ready to try all the marvellous ROMs, waiting on the other side, I can only recommend to purchase the PRO version of Clock Work Mod, it really brings out the fun in rooting your phone.
Seeing your description of your troubles, I think you have softwareproblems, more than hardware problems, so a complete flash and maybe restore, will likely solve many if not all of your problems.
Best regards
Mike
And dont forget to show your support to the developers, they do a marvellous job for us!!!
Thanks mike,
I followed the link you provided and did a lot of reading. So decided to try that method. No luck with that, my computer doesn't detect APX mode while holding down both volume keys. I tried it like 10 times every time holding the keys at different intervals. I even tried it on my wife's laptop running windows 7, didn't work either.
I did find a lot of good info on the link you posted.
Thanks, just waiting on my new O2x to come in the mail.
Possible solution
Some days ago, I also had a problem connecting my LG Optimus 2X to my PC (Windows 7).
I solved my problem using this instructions I found in the G2X forum, by conspirator_boff user (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15899923&postcount=10)
Similar issue. This worked for me on Win 7.
Uninstall the LG Drivers and reinstall the G2x 2.2 package from LG.COM /us/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp (I can't post links)
Plug the phone in and go to Device Manager. There should be a USB Composite Device that is not properly installed. Right click it and select Update Driver Software.
Select 'Browse my computer', then 'Let me pick'. Choose have disk, and browse to where the LG Drivers are installed. Likely C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LG United Mobile Driver\ and select lgbus9x.inf.
Then pick LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device from the list of drivers. Should be the top option. Hit next.
I let it sit for a minute while the drivers installed. Some things registered in device manager right away, the LGE USB Modem for one. But, the drives didn't. Unplugged the phone, plugged it back in, and the drives popped up under Portable Devices.

I think it's an issue from the newest LG Drivers because when I first tried to connect it a year ago I had no problems.
Hope it helps.

Good luck and I hope your new phone will behave properly.
Remember Paul also has tools for bringing your phone back to factory standards, so you keep your warranty.:good:
Enough said, good luck and remember our O2X is probably one of the easiest phones to try out different ROMs at and I have never enjoyed this little gadget as much as after I flashed it!!:

Fixed
Sorry guys for the late update.
I received my new P990 about two weeks ago. As soon I pluged the phone into my computer it started installing the drivers and I was able to use my phone via the USB cable. Another thing I noticed, on this new phone when I pluged the USB cable, I noticed it went in nice and firm, on my old phone the cable seemed to be a little loose. Anyway it was definately a hardware issue with my phone. I'm pretty happy with 2x.

Upgrade from custom ICS to official

I would like to upgrade my 2X from Nova HD Rebuild v1.1.0 to Official V30A.
Problem is that I can not install drivers for PC because my custom ROM does not support PC connection,
Then I tried to downgrade it to stock rom, but I forgot to do backup in CWM when I moved from to stock to custom ROM. Thats way I have nothing to come back to. Now I am stucked without any ideas.
Can you please give me some advice?
Thanks

1.put youre phone into sw mode (Remove batteri Hold in volume up & down , when putting in usb cable.)
2.Install drivers
3.flash the file miw link to in smartflash.
how easy are´nt that?
dafoxen, I tried removing the battery and Holding downvolume up & down , when booting, but in that case phone wont start.
It only boots when volume down is pressed and then it goes to sw upgrading mode. After connecting to PC nothing happens, no driver installing, no nothing.
I also tried with dubuging mode on and off before booting but its the same

cmahendra is right, the post doesn't belong in the Dev section, if the mods see it I am sure they will move it.
If you HAD to post in the Dev section then maybe you could have posted in the Nova thread?
But.. why don't you just put another rom on your SD card (surely you can take out your SD card and connect it to your PC? Buy an adapter if you need to they cost pennies) and flash it from CWM? Then you can connect to your PC.
Right now I`m searching for stock rom in zip format to try it load with cwm

You are so proud that you are member of XDA for 5.5 years but don't know the rules about creating topic in development section. You should be ashamed.

I have almost exact same problem, but mine has been already update to ICS using smathflash. But for some reason I cannot install Homero's rooted V30a, becuase apparently the opti tool keep saying: USB device not found. I already try LG drivers, switching USB ports, restarting computer, poor device by now I'm sure it feels that has been raped after so many plug in's and off's.
How do I do and how do I know that the computer recognize it in APX mode?

Exactly, you've been here for over 5 years, you should know that questions go in Q&A. And don't try to blame this on cmahendra, he's kinda right. The development section is for Roms, kernels etc. Not questions.
I am not blaming anyone. Everyone has its own opinion and that is great, it only makes this community better.
But still I cant solve my problem
hectormcesar is having one also.
Come on people, we count on you :good:
He probably got the point, I'm a wise guy, we all are, anyway time, to update officially downgrade at least the baseband which is what LG check, I've done it with gb, but ics from topo was denied probably because bb was 28g.......

I'm having the same issue as you, it seems. Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981359
You might find an answer there, it gave me some life signs:
I flashed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1617458
To get some sort of life signs, I switched to CP UART, because switching to AP UART didn't change anything. Anyway, I hear the sound that plays when you plug a device in a couple of times, but it shows as an unknown device in the device manager. I also get a little icon in the system tray that says "an unknown device has been plugged in". A couple of seconds later, it disappears, the "disconnect" sound plays and the "unknown device" is no longer shown in the device manager...

Question threads do not belong in Development, you only post threads in there when you've got developments to share. Moved to Q&A where all question threads should be posted.
Please be civil to each other please as you should be helping not criticising each other. Also reason Golub can post in Development is because he's been a member since before the 10 post rule was ever implemented.
Thanks

are you sure that usb is enabled , and Debogage USB is enabled ......

Note 5 (N920I) USB/OTG Issue [No computer will recognise the device]

Ok ladies and gents,
I've been on a mission to root my Note 5 N920I for months now.
My problem is no computer will read/recognise the device. The Mac's seem to not even recognise it's plugged in, with Windows, no matter which driver I install it keeps telling me the "device descriptor failed blah blah blah". I managed to root my S4 very easily on Mac with Jodin3 so I know that it ain't no user error.
I've Googled and Googled ways to root without a computer or installing a custom recovery without root, but from what I understand I can't flash TWRP as recovery without a computer and therefore cannot root without a custom recovery.
I've Googled ways to fix the USB issue by making the xml file and putting it into the correct folder, but for that I need to be rooted. Right?
When she's plugged into a computer with USB debugging on or off nothing comes up in my notifications except for charging. I tried using the toolbox which I found on here (sorry can't remember the name) though it seemed like I was getting close, I couldn't get close enough before my temper got the better off me.
If my memory serves me correctly the OTG function worked when i first got the phone but didn't after the first update. My mate's Note 5 also has the same issue. I Googled it and seemed it was common issue on these phones.
I've tried to learn some Terminal/Command Prompt to see if I can fix it that way through Debian or whatever, only got as far as understanding it, kind of. Big ups to all you coders/programmers out there it really is an artform.
So PLZ PLZ can y'all help me, there has to be a way aside from setting this thing alight and getting a new phone.
My next mission, which I only embarked on a couple nights ago is unbricking my dad's Note 4 (N910G) that just hit the **** one day after spazzing out for a few days then would not turn on. I'm getting close though I haven't put much effort into that yet.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. ?
Anyone??

1)First of all have you enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking options enabled from developers options?
2)Install latest usb drivers for your model no on pc, use original usb cable to connect your phone
3) Try different usb hub-ports on your pc, it is recommended to use main-usb port to connect device properly which is mostly located backside of cpu cabinet
4)Does odin recognises ur device? If yes then you can flash twrp and cf autoroot both ( Sometimes Kies or smartswtich like programmes enforces device not be reognised, so uninstall them before trying to connect and flashing thorugh odin)
5)Try to update device drivers manually from Pc's administration
6) Try to connect your phone on another pc running windows and see if it recognises your device or not
I've tried all of that, i have a 09 Macbook Pro hand me down running Yosemite with Windows 8.1 Pro n just put Ubuntu on her today through Parallels. None of which recognise the phone being there.
I've plugged it into 2 HP PC's and both just keep telling "device descriptor failed". They're both kinda old too.
Unless someone has a specific driver they've made or found or could make me?? Clearly I'm a noob.
Closest I've found is https://github.com/452/USBHIDTerminal/wiki/How-to-enable-USB-host-API-support but still need root or system mounted as rw.
Any other ideas? Any ADB codes anyone could help me with ?
