One-Click Root for Kf1? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are their any Once -Click root programs that would work to root captivate gingerbread kf1?

Not that i know. But use this thread's root method. Don't know if there is an easier one but that one works fine.

to clarify. I put phone in download mode-flash "zImage.tar." unplug phone let it reboot- turn off again-put it in download mode and flash "kernal kf1.tar" wait to reboot- then done?

Download mode. Flash z image. Your phone will bootloop the fugu fish, pull out battery then download mode again and flash KF1 kernel. That should give you root stock KF1.

Yep. This certainly will occur after coming from gingerbread. Load up Odin and flash back to stock, reroot your phone as you normally would. Flash a 2.2 kernel and a 2.2 modem and try to flash. Its seems like you might have some Ginger Ghost left from gingerbread rom and its causing conflict coming back to 2.2 or 2.2.1. Are you able to get in download mode? If so you'll be ok.

you will use same files but different key combination to get into download mode...
That key combination is vol up+power for download mode...at least I'm pretty sure.

that is the problem though. I can get to download mode. I can go back to stock. I can download the root file. I can go to recovery . ....but I can not load it. red typing comea up when I try to reinstall packages and it says It cant install from sd. how can I obtain root if I cant load it from recovery? Can I use odin for your music rom? I just need root. Killing myself trying to figure this out.
Did you put the update.zip on the root of your SD. or in some other file.?
That is also my suspicion. You probably don't have the update.zip in the main directory of your phone's sd card. If its not there, you can simply transfer it back in via usb...
that was it. i had a file called rootupdate.zip and i thought that was the one but i guess it wasnt because nothing was happening. so i looked again in my external sd and still had the original update.zip file, transferred it and it worked. happily rooted again! thank you guys for your help. maby i should delete this thread now.

Use Odin with Fugu, wait for red fish, then reflash the original UCKH3 kernel. Put the root.tar in the pda slot and click start then put the original.tar in the pda slot and click start.

Yes, flash over the stock KH3.
Root method:
1. Extract and open Odin3 v1.81.zip and place the zImage-root.tar file in the pda slot.
2. Connect your phone to your PC.
3. Put your phone into download mode (Same as eclair/froyo 3-button combo or adb reboot download)
4. Phone will boot and show the fugu fish.
5. Power off and put your phone into download mode.
6. Place the zImage-original.tar file in the pda slot and hit start. Phone will reboot.
7. You are now rooted with Stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread.

GB bootloaders with root

What Odin/One click package should i download to get root with GB bootloaders with CWM and flash zip file roms only? So i can flash roms like Fasty III and others? Which one is suggested for great battery life? Experts please
First off you don't need root to flash a rom. as for bootloaders use either a leak 2.3.5 i897 rom with bootloader or just the bootloader package. They are stickied in Dev section.
Can you please send me a link im new at all this but im learning i have Odin 3 v 1.81 and Odin v 1.81 ATT GB bootloaders extracted. I just want to be able to use download mode jig and plug in USB and go.
I have UCK H3 one click is that good enough to get started? Could i flash a rom in rom manager like fasty III im looking for fast and grt battery life.
KH3 1 click should be good. Don't use Rom Manager. Here you can find everything you will need. Just flash KH3 or any other GB leak, let it boot up normally, flash (with ODIN or SGS kernel flasher(app)) the boog's kernel that has CWM, let it boot up normally. Boot up in recovery and flash the rom.
Yea ive seen this which one should i pick and with or w/o bootloaders. 2.3 or 2.4.5 not sure? Just want the best one for speed and battery life and i like launcher pro.
I don't use launcher pro so can't say. But IMO KH3 or KJ3 would be my best (I still use KH3 modem). You need bootloaders so you can flash one with bootloaders.

SGS kernel flasher requires root. Which rooting involves a kernel swap with Odin anyway, so for this purpose its pretty useless.
I just flashed UCK H3 and while in process i checked flash bootloaders now im soft bricked. Will the download mode jig help? I have one i dont know what to do. It doesnt work. What can i do am i screwed? I have the soft brick symbols on my phone now.
Reboot pc, swap usb Ports (make sure its one on the back of the PC), right click Odin and ruin as admin, put .tar in pda slot, Pull battery, replace, use jig, ignore screen that appears, connect to PC if Odin recognizes it hit start.
Grt thanks ok i got the fish now what do i reboot or what and add kernel next? I still have Odin opened and USB plugged in
Disconnect, close Odin. Pull battery, replace, use jig, flash boog's kernel the same edu you flashed the fugu kernel.
Im getting a screen that looks like a TV screen all lines what the heck is that? Its boots to ATT logo then TV screen all colors and lines. I did the kernel it passed but not sure whats going on now. It keeps rebooting ATT screen and TV looking screen
... That sounds like you didn't flash correct bootloaders. Correct me if Im wrong. On a side note ya Studa I had a brain fart on SGS kernel flasher.
I can still get in download mod with jig. Cant i try a diffrent package in Odin?
Did you use KH3 with bootloaders?
Not sure what to do im trying the AIO toolbar and im enabled for root phone but seems like nothing is happeneing im still in download mode
that is froyo boots on a gingerbread ROM.
op flash this package
That will flash the gingerbread bootloaders which will get rid of those lines and make it possible to boot into recovery.
DO NOT USE AIO TOOLBOX AFTER THIS PACKAGE IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. might as well just delete that for safe measure.
Ok i was in recovery in rebooted phone now im at ATT screen logo no lines now. What do i do now is there a rom to flash or am i even rooted? Can i go into download mode and flash a kernel
Im staying at recovery till i hear back from someone lol. Where do i go from here?

Forever stuck on Eclair

I received the Captivate from a friend of mine who complained that AT&T kept bricking his device through Kies and OTA updates. He never was able to update his device to Froyo. I unlocked the device to work on my carrier and then I tried Kies on 3 different computers (running XP and 7), and my device was stuck on the AT&T screen. Using odin oneclick, I got my firmware back to UCJF6 (stock Eclair). Since then, I've tried nearly every one click available (that hasn't been deleted off the internet), I've tried updating bootloaders and installing a separate kernel before flashing a rom in CWM:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266)
However, the device would not boot into recovery mode after following these steps:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?=1953930).
Anyone have any suggestions? Never have I had such a frustrating phone, and that has some merit after owning a Motorola XT720.
Have u tried this one With Bootloaders http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912.
Then use the regular Odin to flash the .tar file version of the KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A that will give u CWM Recovery and u could proceed from there to a Dev's Rom.

The link you posted contained a good 7 different ROMS. I already had the Designgears Odin one click (Eclair stock with BL) downloaded and that's what I used before flashing anything else on that page. That ROM works and gets me back to stock 2.1 however that's the only ROM that has worked for me.

I flashed using Odin with BL, then i flashed KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A. Now I try restarting my device and booting it into recovery mode, and it doesn't work..? Recovery mode has never worked on this device unless I run an ADB command in CMD or using an app with root access.
I've been holding down all 3 buttons for 3-5 seconds and releasing, tried using the up button too the same way.
If I leave the device running, it stays stuck on the AT&T screen.

Try reflashing corn kernel. And with gb bootloaders, it will always be the 3 buttons combo to get in recovery.

Okay, I must be missing something here, because none of the oneclicks work except for designgears stock 2.1 ROM (I897UCJF6).
I'm going to start over and i hope someone here can guide me in the right direction:
I'm running stock 2.1 ROM, might as well be straight out of the box. I want to upgrade to 2.3 with GB BL so that I can flash whatever ROM i wish in the future. Kies Mini doesn't work, so that's out of the picture.
The One Clicks that 4-2ndtwin post a link to (both IlluminatedOne's and his own) do not work, meaning that I get stuck at the AT&T screen and it just pauses there. I have no problem getting into Download Mode or Recovery Mode while using the WORKING 2.1 I897UCJF6 ROM, however if I run ANY of the oneclicks other than I897UCJF6, i cannot boot into Recovery Mode.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, I have the 64bit drivers installed. I have tried Windows XP as well.
Sorry for the double post, but what in the world do I do?
Ok. Go here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30840818
This is the full firmware for i897ucKF1 GB 2.3.3 with Bootloaders included. This is not a One Click. U will use the regular Odin and load the files in their cooresponding tabs of Odin. PDA file in PDA slot of Odin. CSC file in CSC slot. MODEM file in MODEM slot. Pit file in pit, etc. Connect in Download mode. Start. After this u can flash Corn Kernel and proceed.
Some of the Captivates don't like One Clicks. So maybe that is the deal with ur phone.

it says this:
**Once u have the i897 Gingerbread Bootloaders, it is not necessary to flash bootloaders again. The i897 Gingerbread Bootloaders are backwards compatible, therefore you can flash Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, CyanogenMod, and MIUI Firmware/Roms without the bootloaders included, per the proper install instructions.**
Maybe your boot conflict is because you're trying to load the GB bootloaders again and there are 2 boot files or a glitched boot file. I'm no expert but I tend to go back to the simplest reason when I'm troubleshooting something that should work. Though it seems like a complete wipe and re-partition would delete bootloaders, maybe it doesn't from the sound of the above.
Try the package without bootloaders from here:

It loads the rom and the kernal with CWM all at once with a full wipe and repartition.
I always remove the Sim and external sd card before flashing and disable my anti-virus when I'm in Winblows.

Thanks for the tips, however I'm flashing the stock 2.1 ROM with the BL, so even if I had the GB BL's flashed, wouldn't they be overwritten when I flash a the stock ROM? Nonetheless, I tried flashing without the BL, and it still froze at the AT&T screen..
What happens to ur phone doesnt make sense...idk. Honestly dont get it...
The only thing u can run is stock eclair... and no other plain stock will boot and run ?
Wish i could be of more help.

Have you tried getting into recovery when its stuck at the att screen and clear the cache or whatever other clearing you can do? Maybe CWM will be loaded. If it re-boots while holding the three button recovery method, that may be a good sign. Then at the re-boot, let go of the power button at the next att screen.
Does Odin give it a pass?
Are the roms your flashing rooted before you flash? In other words is Eclair rooted and then all others?
Pull the battery at the att screen?
Or go back into download mode and re-flash if that doesn't work.
I'm just guessing and the last 2 suggestions could be dangerous.......................I don't know.

I've found that when applying the stock Eclair ROM, it never says "pass", it says reset--however it works and reboots into 2.1update1. My phone isn't rooted, it has been though. I've realized that some oneclicks say "Re-partition, Full Wipe". My experience is that my phone never enters recovery mode so my phone never wipes anything like the oneclick intends to do. I have not been able to enter recovery mode once I have flashed 2.2 or even 2.3 with or without bootloaders. Do you guys think that's the problem? And if it is, how would I enter recovery if the button combo doesn't work...?

Pulling the battery is not a great idea, it's only when it's "needed".
OP, I'm must say I'm quite confused myself, none of it makes sense.. Although, did you try flashing a 2.2 custom ROM?
I'm thinking you have some either bad or corrupted files/hardware keeping you from flashing but if you're able to flash a custom ROM, then there might be hope.
Also, a JTAG/box might work. They now flash stock GB and could *maybe* overwrite w/e in your phone that is messing with all your flashing.
BTW, it sounds like you are doing the wrong thing to get into recovery. Hold both volume keys, and then press the power button as you would to turn the phone on normally/until the screen turns on. Then, keep holding the volume buttons until you see recovery.
And which at&t screen are you stuck on? The very first one or the boot animation?

That's the strange thing, it will NOT boot into recovery when I flash say KK4. I hold the volume buttons for over 30 seconds, and it just stays at the AT&T screen. It gets stuck before the boot animation, I never see it when I try to flash anything 2.1+. I have booted into recovery mode before, so I know that I am doing the button combo properly.

z4root doesn't work on 2.3.5, and neither does gingerbreak.apk, just as a heads up. If you need to root without USB, you can try what I did.
Download 0 click mizu m9 root (google it, I forget the actual apk name it's kind of annoying to find).
Open the apk and click get r00t, this will take about 5 seconds and you'll get temp root privileges, however if you leave the apk on and reboot it will just auto root on start up.
Then you can download Mobile Odin and flash away

You'll have to connect to a PC and use Odin KK4 (without bootloaders) to recover.
From there, you can flash Corn kernel to get custom recovery and root.
Without a working USB though, I'm not so sure how to recover from it.

It helps you get in download mode to then use Odin to flash KK4 without bootloaders.
You need to connect to your PC though.

You can also use the custom CwM that is included with the Corn kernel to install SU and busybox.
See Corn 7 thread in cap devel forum. You do this via odin, after flashing stock kk4.

Oh you!
P.S.: Some typos in your post
rfs files converted in ext4.
I forgotten to mention that after rooting and installing the special recovery, I changed the rfs in ext4 not sure, thinking that was going to work better!......

z4root doesn't work on 2.3.5, and neither does gingerbreak.apk, just as a heads up. If you need to root without USB, you can try what I did.
Download 0 click mizu m9 root (google it, I forget the actual apk name it's kind of annoying to find).
Open the apk and click get r00t, this will take about 5 seconds and you'll get temp root privileges, however if you leave the apk on and reboot it will just auto root on start up.
Then you can download Mobile Odin and flash away

...lol.
If you have USB though, definitely go with the kk4 option posted above, much safer lol.
