[Q] Official Rogers Gingerbread 2.3.3 root? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

I'm setup to dump and create my own odin tars to dump my kernel, but I need root to do it. Maybe I'm missing something here. I've only been modding android for a few weeks now.

Damn Swype. After rooting. The fugu kernel won't actually let the phone completely boot up. You need a kernel to flash afterward.

Try pm'ing Nerz. He may be able to help you with a partition dump without being rooted.

Well if we get root and rip 2.3.3 you'll have another to add to the collection.
Anyone know how to dump a stock kernel? or do we need to jtag?

Welp, I really should've checked if root was available for this new version before diving in and installing it.
Sigh.

Hey guys has anyone been able to root Rogers 2.3.3?? I've tried SuperOneClick and it failed at step#6.

Fugu not working
For some reason, this happens when I try to use fugu:
I flash fugu onto the phone, phone reboots, and I get the fugufish image. Horrifying, by the way.
I flash the stock 2.3.4 kernel onto the phone, and I get the fugu fish image still... ODIN is saying it is working perfectly fine, yet it's obviously not. The only way I can get 2.3.4 to work on my cappy is when I use the md5 2.3.4 file to get GB onto the phone, but that overwrites junk (and it doesn't keep root).
Odd thing is I flashed over to 2.3.4 from a rooted 2.2 kernel and I lost root (guessing that's normal). Any ideas on how to fix this problem (like, do I actually have to close ODIN in between flashing the 2 kernels)?
Thanks in advance!
[email protected]
You are mixing something up. It should work. Try another stock or cwm kernel.
Ok I'll try the 2.3.3 kernel and see if that works....
2.3.3 kernel will probably give u issues on kh3
2.3.3 kernel would load onto the phone, but then the phone would boot into 2.3.3, and then phone would get locked up... not asking for a password, it would just freeze. I was able to verify it was rooted though. Other than that, no clue. flashing with the 2.3.4 md5 I have now. Something isn't right.

Yeah it did. On the site there's a KH3 (2.3.4) stock kernel listed. I flashed that one. That's the one that's for some reason not overwriting fugu. I'm beginning to wonder if the 2.3.4 kernel listed on the other page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17471081&postcount=289) is screwed up I'll just sit tight with not rooted phone for now. Other option I guess is drop back to KH1?
Here
Boog's KH3 kernel
Red Nebula
Both should work hell I think Boog's has a root scrip on it (never used it).
Or...flash a damn custom ROM that's already rooted and ready to fuggin go!
^ That too, I just assumed dude wanted stock.
goal was to keep stock... Though that one that was suggested (boog KH3) seems close enough.....
Also thinking going cyanogen7... *shrug*
the new super one click should do it. it does for kk4
since when has SuperOneClick worked on stock Samsung GB ROMS?

[Q] Stock UGKG3 With root ( How To)

Hey Guys.. I'm looking for a "how to Root " on Bell's Stock UGKG3.
It seems in order to get root you must use CWM 2.5 and higher but KG3 overwrites with 3e Recovery. If I flash CF-roomt 1.3 through 4.1 I get looping boot screens.
Many searches later.. I'm here.
Can anyone help me out?
I9000M with UGKG3 flashed via ODin (I9000UGKG3-homebinary.tar) with stock 3e recovery BMC CSC.

Odin 1.82: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1IKLKDPB
Just open Odin, put the tar file as PDA, put the phone in download mode, plug it in, wait for the box under ID:COM to go yellow and the 'added!' message and hit start. It will be done in a few seconds. Install superuser and busybox from the market to see if it works.
Like I said earlier it didn't work right away for me, superuser just FC'd on the first boot. Not sure if it was reflashing or rebooting that fixed it. Just a warning that some tinkering might be required.

Sorry to bump an older thread, but I just have something else to add that might help someone else out.
I re-flashed stock UGKG3 to an i9000M, then grabbed the rooted kernel you linked to root. However, I had to manually download superuser and busybox installer from the Android Market - something I thought would happen automatically.
Hope this helps someone else!
hi brahmy
were you able to root your i9000 on this firmware?
managed to grab the file. thanks.
just wonder if you were successful after flashing this kernel
just lookin for some reassurances
Yes you do need to superuser and busybox from the market.
I'm seeing over 900 downloads of that kernel from megaupload, I didn't make it but I'm glad my instructions and download link helped so many.

thanks for the link.. going to try rooting now.
Am not getting root ... UPDATE: have root, but not busybox
So I re-installed the stock Bell UGKG3 kernel which worked great.
Then I installed this rooted one, more than once between reboots. I also got Busybox and TiShell from Market but I have no root
What might be going wrong?
Before I put the stock kernel back on, I was playing around with various kernels and with one of these kernels, I also updated the CSC and MODEM. Will this cause issues with this rooted KG3? I seem to not have problems with the stock KG3 that I re-installed using Kies.
Please help! No idea why everybody seems to be getting root with this kernel except me.
EDIT:
Ooooops looks like I may have had an out-of-date/dysfunctional Superuser app that was there from an old kernel update. I deleted it, re-installed from Market, and now I have root!!!
Now I have another problem: Looks like my busybox is also out-of-date. D/l'd busybox installer, it asked me if I wanted to install the latest, I said yes, but then it said I still have a version hanging around and I couldn't install.
So I opened my terminal and found one in /system/xbin. Did:
su
rm busybox
... but says the it's a read-only filesystem
How can I remove my old one that apparently exists somewhere and won't let the newly-downloaded busybox installer install a new one??
Stock ugkg3
I had the same problems with rooting my ugkg3, I used Darkyrom 10.2 Re. It rooted, put voodoo lagfix in, busybox, superuser. I didn't have to add any of those apps. I used odin to put it in. The only thing you have to do is reconfig your apn settings. Here is the link for darkyrom http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/, here is the link for the original stock firmware http://www.samfirmware.com/, and here is the link for the apn settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799559, enjoy.

No, you'll still need to use a computer-based Odin/Heimdall to flash bootloaders.

well i have tried this it's flashing to jf6 using cezar flash like a breeze but problem flashing to jf6 the market cant find the mobile odin. and even you dl it on sd card it wont let you install on jf6 stock so i have tried installing the stock leak of kk4 while i was on a i9000 base rom now if you purchase this on market it allows you to automaticaly download the kernel needed to flash now problem here is if your build prop is not tweak to samsung-sgh-i897 build prop it will download the i9000 base kernel which will mess up your flashing and end up on a bootloop going to stock kk4 so still kinda fresh its a go and miss some times it work sometimes end a bootloop this also it does not flash the bootloader from the stock rom so i suggest before you go to stock gb rom flash a captivate base gb loader but got to admit chainfire is really a beast to make an odin on a phone so purchase the app to support him

GO READ THE FRIGGIN THREAD!
Good work Devs
Do you have a direct link or mirror for v1.20? Tried the version on the market and still getting not compatible.
link in the first post, links to his thread, and it has links to the app. also I think it checks compatibility by reading the build.prop, what's wrong are you running and have you messed with your build.prop
Running MIUI. No, not edited build.prop.
well miui is probably the answer, might want to let the Dev know so he can fix that, if possible.
Ok, will do. Thanks
Not compatible with teamhacksung ICS build 6 either.

team hacksung's ICS port uses the CM7 partitioning table, and Mobile odin doesnt support re-partitioning. so ya. of course it dont and wont ever work.

[Q] Flashing to Stock Question

I am wondering if it is possible to flash back to a stock rom without hooking up to a computer, is there a stock rom that can be installed right from CWM using a zip on the SD Card?
Only one i remember is a kb1 rom by ou812bkewl.
Thanks, I found that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963403. This isn't true stock as it was modified but hopefully it does enough to serve it's purpose.
Yeah, but all true"stock"packages are going to be for a flash utility (Odin/Heimdall for the captivate).
check out MOBILE ODIN
Mobile ODIN sounds super promising! That old rom originally suggested did not pan out, won't flash with the newer versions of CWM.

Dude, totally forgot about that. Is there an emoticon for "duh?"
Mobile Odin's saying my device is not supported.....I'm going to jump off a cliff lol. What I'm trying to do is flash any other ROM than what I have now. I flashed the RC1.0.1 Captivate ROM and now whenever I try to flash a different ROM it fails assertions. I'm guessing this is the same reason mobile ODIN is saying my device is not supported. I'm not going to be around a computer that I have set-up for ODIN for a few days, looks like I'm waiting. Thanks for trying to help me out folks
Mobile Odin requires you to be Rooted. And this flashes the firmware files, not cwm.zips files. (Not sure what u tried and why it said u weren't supported.)
I believe he's talking about the ICSSGS RC 1.0.1. From demonwave(which is rooted). If so, he's stuck if he doesn't have a computer. I had this on my Dev captivate and i couldn't flash from ics to cm7.
I think part of the not supported problem is the screen density, part is the build.prop. Just my $.02.

Did you flash a I9000 ROM? If so, you need the I9000 bootloaders.
Also to downgrade android version, you have to use Odin (i suggest kk4 without bootloaders if you already have the gb ones, which can be found in the stickies).
Make sure you follow the full instructions next time to avoid issues like that.

Ahhh, fello Canadian i see!
You may be correct thinking i have I9000 "JB"? bootloaders!, in the original
thread : Aceofspades replied to a member question stating: "Port means that this
rom is originally made for i9000 and made it to work for captivate."
Should I assume I've flashed an I9000 Rom? and now have JB bootloader?
Thinking back, I did not wipe before going back and using recovery! Not sure that was the problem
but it was on reboot after restoring CWM/system. data. cache etc that the phone rebooted and ended up
in a continual cycling of the ATT logo screen!
Big question now is how do I do to remedy my situation!!
NOTE...I have made a JIG and can get into "download Mode" now
From this point on I'll document my every move in order to be able to provide
the exact procedure I went through... might be more helpful !!
I know I know... NOOB! Lol

First thing: don't use kies at all!
There are no JB bootloaders for the cappy, just eclair, froyo and GB. If the ROM is a port, you'll most likely have to flash the I9000 gb bootloaders but I'd suggest finding another ROM to start with (like CM). Playing with bootloaders is the only thing that will make your phone a paper weight if something goes wrong.
Also, bootloaders aren't included in roms for safety measures. That being said, you can run ICS and JB roms just fine with the GB bootloaders.
As for what comes next. Perhaps use Odin to flash stock kk4 without bootloaders, from there flash corn kernel (once again with Odin) and give CM a whirl following their full flashing instructions. (Which can be found both in their thread and website)

Understood... NO KIES
Sorry but a little confused still...
Do I Odin flash KK4 w/o bootloaders first -> flash corn kernal with Odin -> then flash a CM ROM using their procedure?
Where in the sequence is "flash I9000 bootloaders?
* No luck finding Odin w/o bootloaders yet, outdated download sites. Will search through xda again.
Noted! "There are no JB bootloaders for the cappy, just eclair, froyo and GB." (I was originally ATT captivate on FROYO 2.2)

I might be a little hazy on the order of your suggestions so thanks for the patience!
GREATLY APPRECIATING YOUR EFFORTS!!

For now, forget about the I9000 bootloaders.
Here's KK4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
During your flashing, did you ever flash the GB bootloaders? If not, get the version with bootloaders and make the the flashing isnt't interrupted.
And yeah, from there you got it right, corn kernel; and follow their full flashing instructions.

--------------------------------------------------
* I haven't knowingly flashed GB bootloaders.
* I've been all over the link you provided... no working downloads.
Hmmm, I did try "Odin" a couple of times to get the GingerBread update...After doing that my phone now
boots to the AT&T logo, goes black for a sec and a screen like a bad tv signal comes up! Also, the phone
is now charging and showing the big battery icon! I seem to recall reading somewhere that if that happens
it may be wrong bootloaders? Can't remember exactly what it said but am I correct thinking it was one of
your own replies to another member?
Anyway, done for the night Grrrr
Thanks so much!
Here is a post with a pic about the screen u r seeing. Pixelated screen means u don't have the GB bootloaders... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33227557&postcount=2
And i am currently in the process of uploading my Odin and Heimdall Stock KK4 One Clicks. Gonna be using MediaFire. Will post when all uploads are done and new links attached to my post #3 in the Stock Rom stickied thread in the Development forum...

Appreciate you taking the time to reply! The images you displayed are exactly what I am seeing..
Links aren't good forever, i realize that just hard to believe I hadn't found them ANYWHERE yet! Lol
PS ************
* Have since got GB Bootloaders and added thru Odin3 v1.70.. PDA.tar.md5
* Now able to get into recovery mode by 3-button, shows 3e recovery, have ability to install from sdcard,
wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.
* I have an "update.zip" on there but can't remember what it's for so I didn't do it...
but still no UI coming up, just the AT&T logo which cycles ON/OFF
Am I still in the same boat... needing KK4 Odin flash, after doing that will i be able to copy
a KK4 ROM zip to my phone thru PC and flash from the phone?

KK4 is a one click Odin.
From there, you'll have to use Odin 1.85 or 1.87 to flash Corn kernel to be able to flash your way up to CM.

Hey there!
* 4-2ndtwin chimed in and said he would post when he uploaded them.
Been looking in the meantime.
* I have both Odin versions, now understand that I can use Odin to flash any file I choose, such as the Corn kernal, not just files it may come with.
* I downloaded a "Stocki897uckk4-zImage.tar, unzipping shows "zImage" file but I
haven't touched it.
Just hanging in for a working link for the Odin KK4 One-Click I guess...
Question!!!
For clarification..Odin KK4 One-Click is just bootloaders, kernal and maybe modem, right? It's not going to give me a working ROM...OR, is it ALSO an alternative way to flash a ROM when I can't add a ROM zip to my phone thru my PC to flash?
Lol... I'll get a handle on this, more of a visual type
As usual, appreciate the help!
Stock KK4 Links up.

Still browsing ROMS...
Should I be bothered rooting yet? Not sure if I'll just have to do it again after a ROM switch?
Any suggestions for a root utility?

I suggest you start with CM.
As for rooting, you can get it directly on the store now (was recently made legal). I believe it's by chainfire. But do you need it atm?
Also, all custom roms come pre-rooted.
