[Q] Rooting Problem on Samsung Captivate Android 2.2 I987UCJI6 with Recovery <3e>

[Q] Rooting Problem on Samsung Captivate Android 2.2 I987UCJI6 with Recovery <3e>
Hi ALL,
Here's the problem I have been having. I just bought and Samsung Captivate that had android 2.1 I987UCJH7 which I was able to root with no problem with OCLF App from the market. After upgrading to android 2.2 I987UCJI6 I tried it again and it would not work. I looked at app and it says it only works on Recovery <2e> for android 2.1 & 2.2. This made me curious so I looked at my recovery and it updated to Recovery <3e>. So I looked around and tried a couple of the different root updates that are on different threads on this site and non of them work. So question is, What is the right way to root android 2.2 I987UCJI6 with Recovery <3e> on it? If you can provide me with the correct download files and instructions that would be great! Please and Thank You!
Thanks I.I.

You can't. You need 2e recovery as far as I know, or at least until the source is released. You've upgraded to a leaked ROM that doesn't have everything set up perfectly yet.
That said, you can swap out the 3e kernel for a 2e one, then root, then swap back in your stock kernel (3e).
DesignGears's wiki on Ponack explains it.
Or you can just install Cognition like the rest of with a rooted captivate ROM less work....

Ok. so it says " This .zip file has everything needed" blah blah.. where is this .zip file???

#1 I would recommend ditching the oclf (ryans). Plus that app has lost its ability to root you due to terms and conditions of the market....i used one click super root to root my cappy. Have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Thank you! That program worked. I had to do the Shell root first, though, otherwise it goes into that loop error. But after click the shell root button, it passed, then I clicked the root button, all good. Finally hit the allow non market apps button, and installed my first non market ap.. that app just doesnt work..
But thank you! i'm all set now.

no prob! enjoy

<3e> problem?
I flashed 2.2 ji6 no problem, also rooted no problem with super 1 click. Problem I have now is trying to flash pheonix 3.5. ROM Manager wont install from sd. It goes into downloading mode but fails to install. Is this because of the <3e> recovery? How do I fix it?
Help would be much appreciated, thanks!

[Q] How to root Tab running vanilla Gingerbread?

Ok, so this really seems to be a school-boy question, but I'm stuck.
I've flashed vanilla Gingerbread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854) onto my Tab (P1000 UK model) using the non-bootloader version, all working fine. Now I want to root it so that I can grab a copy of the kernel and crack on with some Meego development.
I've tried two methods: SuperOneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) with the Gingerbreak method selected, it all runs (after messing about to get rid of the 7 cdcs driver using the *#7284# pda selection screen) and sits there saying "Gingerbreak running" (or words to that effect) but never stops or reboots.
I've also tried running Gingerbreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) directly from the "Start menu" after moving it across to and installing on the device with ADBD and again it just sits there and doesn't seem to do anything (after 30min or more).
I've tried this both with an SD card mounted and with it un-mounted (running Gingerbreak on the device asks for it to be mounted, running SuperOneClick asks for it to be un-mounted.) In both cases I have usb debugging turned on (presumably that is required so that ADBD is running in the background - this is obviously working ok as otherwise SuperOneClick wouldn't get as far as running Gingerbreak.
So I'm just about out of ideas as to what is wrong. Has anyone else successfully used either SuperOneClick 1.9.1 or Gingerbreak?
Next step is to grab all the necessary files (Superuser, su, etc) and try running the original Gingerbreak exploit over the ADBD shell to see if the exploit is at fault and then just install them manually.
Any other ideas?

Hmm, more reading and apparently this loophole has been closed.
Perhaps time to flash a pre-rooted kernel then, drat, was hoping to avoid messing about with Odin any more.

if you just read what the Dev said in the 1st link you pointed probably you are rooted now , and i'm not replying you with 1 eye open ...

one of chainfire steps ( EDIT#2: CF-Root v3.2 for JQ1 / Gingerbread has arrived: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=176 )after u open this link hit the 1st post with red color ,
download this CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip ..
put your tab into download mode , put the zip in odin PDA . without pressing anything or adding anything , just hit the start button on odin , 2seconds your tab will reboot , with CWM & ROOT ... good nigt

For now only CF root of chainfire can root GB

The tail end of the Gingerbreak threads on this forum say that the loophole has been closed afaict.
As I couldn't get it to work after a fair bit of trying, I assumed that was indeed the case and flashed Chainfire's pre-rooted kernel (CF-root).
Does anyone have a vanilla zImage backup they could post a link to for me, I don't want the CWM stuff in the CF-root kernel anyway and am also having troubles extracting the initramfs from it.
I'm going to alter the init binary and get back to Meego porting with the new kernel (which should now be easier to use with Meego's multitouch).
Thanks.

[Q] Why no Simple Root for Latest Gingerbread?

I am on the latest gingerbread DXJPE. As most of you know Z4Root and Superoneclickroot and Gingerbreak don't work on this firmware.
We have available CF-root by Chainfire, DiP7 kernel, and Overcome which have root in addition to other features.
Myself and others that don't want OC/UV or CWM or Voodoo but want to use Titanium backup,etc want a simple root application or a patch to our firmware.
I cannot understand why can't a straightforward root cannot be done unless you have CWM or OC/UV....
So I am pleading/begging you expert coders/programmers in XDA-PLEASE PROVIDE A SIMPLE ROOT APP/PATCH FOR THE LATEST GINGERBREAD.
THANKS!

May I ask what you used to root?
Update/edit: You have a sprint tab....
I agree, I have tried CF-root,DiP7 kernel and Overcome Gold. I have also posted my problems re: CWM but there seems to be nobody interested. I even asked Chainfire the author of CF-root for a way to root without the "extras" but he said it is not possible.
Maybe I will just be content on what is available?....

DXJPE. I have already tried rooting successfully- it's just that I wanted to have root with the following:
1. Stock boot animation with sound.
2. use of the default recovery instead of CWM.
3. be able to change CSC with no errors
All of the above can be done when I rooted using Z4root or superoneclick but not CF-root or Dip7 or more so not with overcome.

the stock bootanimations its already in the stock and it will only work in the stok !!!
if you rooted with superoneclick or Z4root how come you get CWM ? it only suppose to flash ROOT (superuser and busy box) thats all
to change the CSC ,tbh , its sucks way to do so , so ignore it and don't worry about it i also wanna try update via kies but never had

I think the person who posted the original question has a GSM tab and the guy who replied has the cdma sprint tab. The flash for cdma/sprint won't work for GSM. I might be wrong but if you try to flash with the wrong thing, there's an excellent chance you're going to bork your GSM tab. Same thing applies with the other android device I'm dealing with, the nexus s 4g. The GSM and cdma for ns4g and ns are different. The software and hardware under the Hood are different. Not drastically different but enough to make it so that development for the two types must be separate and aren't interchangeable.

to root a phone it doesn't matter if its CDMA or GSM , what is matter if you flashed rom is not for your tab ,
root only contains SUPERUSER and BUSYBOX and nothing else , what chainfire posted is a Kernel and not Root , but kernel contain both , CWM and Root access , and the kernels are for specific tabs.
my point is to root , it doesn't matter if you are GSM or CDMA , then how Z4root work or Superoneclick ? they just push the busybox and superuser to the system. so basically Root tools aren't that harm to your phone or tab

Are you sure that by only editing the dat file you will also reset the settings to the CSC that you choose? Example are language,frequency settings,applications for the region,etc?
What I know is that the CSC should match a nv_data.bak file for your particular firmware. If there is no match then it will be pointless to change CSC but just changing to any value.
BTW,hacking the cache file and installing the hacked file via CWM also solves the missing PDA and CSC ....

The advantage of android is that non market apps can be installed even without root. IOS in idevices do not allow non appstore apps to be installed unless jailbroken.
Also apps which require root are available for android on the market while you will find similar apps only thru cydia.

Our firmware is DXJPE, w/c is the asian region... I think there is an option for gingerbreak on superoneclick but I personally have not tried it out... Maybe bongski can try it out and see if it works...
@bongski: There is an option on superoneclick for "gingerbreak", just take a look at the available option, it may work for you... I don't have superoneclick on my laptop so I cannot tell you where exactly is that option... Try it out and see if it works...
I don't root my TAB, only on froyo when I want to flash other ROMS, so I can't be of much help here...

Both gingerbreak under superoneclick and the gingerbreak.apk don't work on the JPE firmware. I think the exploit in which gingerbreak is based is already closed by samsung.

the root you are able to achieve is through the rom not the kernel or recovery or any of that. that is not a horrible issue especially since there are only a hand full of roms. what has happened in the epic 4g forum is that some roms rely on kernel root and others rely on rom root, like what we have. rom root is fine for average root users cause you can get into the root directory and install or remove stuff at your whim. the issue will arise when the recovery is in place and roms are being developed. if you have a kernel thats not rooted and you flash a rom that isnt baked with root then you lose root. its kind of a chicken and the egg discussion on the surface. i imagine that kernel and recovery devs can argue the preferred method, but for most end users its moot. from what ive learned devices have a recovery kernel and a "rom" kernel. one gets you up and going and allows recovery to boot and the other will control how the rom runs. people have had some issues when they flash what that think is substantial kernel and use an app like quick boot only to find out they dont have a custom recovery like cwm. however when using 3 finger boot or in our case vol up +power they find the custom recovery. a rooted and properly flagged recovery kernel will boot into the custom recovery from the app or from the hardware induced recovery boot. if you read through oldmacnut's thread he eludes to partial root issues. again when our root comes through an odin of a rom thats got root baked in, you dont get to access all the innards of the device and the possibilities that other devices are seeing.
thats my interpretation of the situation

[Q] Official Rogers Gingerbread 2.3.3 root?

Well today I flashed back to stock 2.2 and updated Through Kies trying to get my GPS working, to my surprise I ended up with UXKH2 Gingerbread 2.3.3. I Haven't heard that Rogers/Samsung pushed the update for Captivate yet. I Tried rooting with Superoneclick but was unable to. So i tried Designgears auto root for UCKF1 but that didn't work either and soft bricked me, so now I'm back on stock Froyo. Any ideas how to root Gingerbread 2.3.3? I'm a CM7 user but would like to stay on the official Gingerbread bootloaders for easy testing .

Fugumod, its a kernel swap method, but you will need to somehow back up the kernel you have now, do that street rooting you can flash back to it.

Issue: Fugu Root Mod + GB 2.3.5 KK4

Hey guys, so I just recently updated my Cappy from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 KK4 using a couple of the forums found here on XDA. Question, though:
I attempted to apply the Fugu Root Mod before flashing to 2.3.5. When flashed, it showed the red Fugu fish, and then bootlooped on me until I pulled the battery. After that, I flashed the 2.3.5 update. Apparently, Fugu has failed on part of my own error, because I don't have SU, BusyBox, or any of the Fugu mods, and the kernel in the phones "About" section shows "2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489."
The question: I don't really care to give rooting another go, and I've discovered the "fugumod" folder in my SD's directory. Of course, the file tells me not to delete it, but is it safe to do so being that the root was not applied?
Thanks in advance!

Try installing SU app? At any rate I believe Corn kernel and samurai kernel have SU installer on cwm. I could be wrong but check it out

Installed the SU app from the market, but Root Check Basic still reports that my phone isn't rooted. Is it safe to just delete the "fugumod" folder in my SD directory, or is it worth a shot at reflashing Fugu? I pretty much manually restored my phones contacts, apps, etc before I noticed root was missing (I wasn't rooted before) and don't want to risk losing all my data.
Like I said, I don't mind not having root, I just figured I'd throw Fugu in there since I was wiping and updating my phone anyway.

You can try it. Odd it didn't work first go. But like I said there are 2 KK4 kernels that offer (or might) SU installer with CWM and tweaks.

Any risk in bricking if I delete the "fugumod" folder? It's telling me within the file that my phone won't reboot if deleted...but I'm not even Fugu rooted in the first place!
EDIT: Hmm...I didn't notice a KK4 with an SU installer. Could you point me in the right direction?

I honestly don't know never deleted that folder... like ever lol.

Hahaha that's what I was trying to find out in the first place, though! If I don't need the folder, I don't want it on my phone.

Searching would have found your answer, but here it is.
After flashing the fugumod kernel, you did the right thing pulling the battery. That kernel isn't designed to boot completely, just give you root. Where you were wrong was flashing the whole update. You should have flashed just the kk4 kernel. Once rebooted, you have the stock, rooted ROM.

Ahh, I see, thanks! So flashing the update removes the root, correct?
EDIT: Went ahead and just deleted the fugumod folder. No problems whatsoever, since I'm not rooted, of course.

Yeah, reflashing the update will wipe out the root, as well a factory reset.
