[Q] Unrooting Captivate (Gingerbread 2.3.3) - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey everyone
i've got a problem here ><" researched all day but couldn't find the answer..
i updated my phone today to gingerbread 2.3.3 KF1 using Odin and then rooted it using the Rooted Kernel and Odin so i could uninstall all those stock apps which i didn't want. now im done uninstalling them, how do i unroot my phone ? ...

You should be able to use SuperOneClick (works every time for me) to unroot your phone. Just make sure it is in usb debug mode (settings>applications>debugging).

Install z4 root app on your cappy,it is the easiest method to root and unroot.....!
Just one click in the app and your unrooted and another click your rooted.....
Easy right?
z4 root:http://www.filecrop.com/z4-root-apk.html
if the above link dies just google it !

Cognition ROM / rooted .... want to go back to stock???

I rooted and flashed to the Cognition ROM. I want to go back to stock and so I can get the Samsung over the air updates (2.2) when it comes out.
How can I do this? I tried the Odin one click unroot and when back to the stock software via Clockworky recovery/Rom manager....
Software updates fail though when the captivate restarts....
Nevermind I get ya now. The stock rom Odin one click isn't supposed to be flashed through clockwork. You need to read more.
PS, Questions belong in Q & A section.
Search for odin3 one-click downloader by designgears. I never worry about unrooting it. Odin does it for me.
Btw, Wrong section. Should be in q&a

There may be something comparable, but the odin for the Captivate only has the Captivate software.

[Q] [Help] Problems with rooting my sgs i9000

hello,
well, i never rooted a phone before and already did some research,
already tried to root with the superoneclick root program, stucked at step #7 waiting for device.
got odin3 installed but dont got files and no idea where to get from and no idea what order to do the stuff, my firmware and stuff is completely standard from the factory settings.
any help perhaps? :$
Find a root package for your phone and flash it with stock Android recovery. The best way.
thnx
[Firmwares]Official I9000/I9000M Firmwares collection [Latest: XWJW6, XWJW5, XXJW4]
And get a kernel with integrated cwm recovery such as CF-Root
Just remember that SuperOneClick was meant for Froyo and not Gingerbread...

I had the same problem (using Windows XP).
Once I removed Microsoft .net Framework 4.0 and installed 2.0 instead, Superoneclick worked perfectly for me.
Here this is a very simple guide with everything you meed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108

Flash cf-root kernel via. Odin.

i have the i9000
Okay, then as i already said.
Get cf-root kernel, flash it via odin and baaam. There you got your root xP
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
but i dont know how to root it ive tried to search at google for a way to root BUJVI but i found nothing
Okay. Look for the cf-root kernel thread. Chainfire prepared a pre-rooted kernel for (almost? ) every firmware.
Look for the right one.
You know how to flash a kernel with odin?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
i dont know the way plz tell me
plz tell me all the steps cause im new at android
Download Odin. You should find it somewhere here on xda or google.
Download the cf-root kernel.
I think its a ".tar"-file.
Open odin.
If you have installed KIES, close both KIES-processes in the taskmanager.
Reboot phone into downloadmode. (Vol down + home + power)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc. A little box in odin should appear now and should say something like "Added".
Now press on the "pda"-button and browse to the cf-root kernel. Click start and if everything is done correctly, xour phone should reboot automatically. Now you should see the app "Superuser".
Hope this helps.
Anyway, im not responsible for any errors or damages to your phone

plz give me a link to download the compatible version for my galaxy s thank you very much i know that i bothered you
Okay.
Firt of all, here is the direct link to the CF-Root-Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Theres a step-by-step guide by chainfire too.
Download this kernel from his site:
http://download.chainfire.eu/123/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XW_DBT_JVI-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip
And flash it as mentioned in his thread with odin
Hope this will help you out
im i obliged to use that chanefire ??
No. You could use any other kernel from chainfire. Or you can use Semaphore, Galaxian, Talon, Speedmod or any other Gingerbread-Kernel.
You can either try the 1-Click-Rooting Tool. You should find it on google and somewhere here on xda.
i cant find in one click root my device :crying: or i didnt dee it can you plz go and search for me thank you very much
One more question.
Do you want to root, to do a backup of your apps?
Or do you want to get a Nandroid-backup?
Nandroid-Backup is something like an image of your pc.
EDIT:
Anyway.
The easiest and safest way is to flash the cf-root kernel with Odin.
Follow the instructions in the cf-root kernel and you should be good to go.
Its pretty easy.

[Q] Root-Problems after Firmware Update to 2.3.6

Hey, perhaps somebody can heIp me.
Updated my Galaxy Tab 7 today from Firmware 2.3.6 (other details I don't know) to
Firmware 2.3.6
Kernel-Version 2.6.35.7
Buildnummer GINGERBREAD.BOJU3
over Samsung Kies.
The Tablet was rooted, but after i confirmed the Firmware Update the Root wasn't there anymore.
Tried to re-root the Tablet with SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse & DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su_1_
but both didn't work.
Anyone got any Idea how to re-root or fix this. Got no Backup so resetting is the last option.
DooMLoRDs Tool said that he can't wright the SU File true no Write-Rights.
Superuser 3.3 is still installed and can't be uninstalled true no root rights.
SuperOneClick will not finish the Root and stops mostly on Part 7 of the procedure.
Tried to rooted with debugging and tablet on.
Thank You
maRul
Start by telling US which model is your galaxy tab 7.
There are many variants.

ahh sorry ; PT1000
Try chainfire root 3.3
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
I used CF-Root V3.3 from chainfire. It works for me.
You must flash this via Odin in Phone slot.
Uploaded for you
Good luck
Greeting from Thailand
thank you for the answers, i will try this solution.
but before one question.
what will happen to my installed apps; do i need to reinstall everything after kernel update or will hopefully nothing happen with the installed software. like i said i have no backup atm.

No, kernel is just the kernel it doesnt affect your installed apps.
Anyway, I wouldnt bother with stock GB, I would recommend Overcom rom if you want GB and not ICS/JB.
thanks 4 helping. Installed a new Kernel with Odin3 8.5.
System is now rooted.
Perhaps I will update to ICS or JB later.

[Q] [i9000] Attempted to root froyo using heimdall, stuck in d/l mode

Hi guys,
Sorry if this has already been solved, I've been reading and attempting fixes for a day now with no success.
My i9000 is on froyo. I am running Ubuntu 12.10 so obviously my options to use odin are limited.
My goal is to root it and upgrade to Jelly Bean.
After much reading (not enough?) I decided to give heimdall a shot using this TUT
and info gathered from here amongst other places.
I managed to finally get my device to show in Heimdall. I then flashed it. I think using files found in either of those places.
Now I have a semi-bricked Galaxy S which I can get it into Download mode.
This morning I grabbed my GF's Windows Netbook and installed Kies and Odin hoping to follow a more orthodox route to getting this phone to a functional state.
Kies hangs at connecting. Odin recognized the phone though it FAILED anytime I tried flashing it with stock firmware.
I can provide error messages if you need them.
At present I must restore firmware back to stock -> then root stock firmware -> then upgrade to Jelly Bean is that correct?
If it is can anyone point me in the right direction to restoring the stock firmware?
The best thing for you to do would be to search this forum for the update and root tutorial for the 2.3.6 value pack then flash 4.2.2 there should be tutorials for heimdal and Odin
