How do you Root Froyo on the Captivate the Easiest way?

I have the one click root on my computer. I was able to root stock 2.1 but not Froyo. I cant seem to get a normal Update.zip to reinstall to root it. Can anyone help me out with this? Thank you

Have you used adb before? Its easy. Just need to get the sdk dev kit. Then go here.

If you're comfortable with flashing Froyo using adb shouldn't be a problem.

I sent smokestack a PM to see if he can help me out on how to do it. I just flashed the phone with Froyo following the directions here. I wasnt to sure about what I was doing but I did everything and it all eventually worked out well, with a couple scares lol. Im new to the rooting scene. I mean Im pretty savy when it comes to certain stuff and I was easy to install beta leaks and builds with BlackBerrys for 3 years. Im new to Android since the Captivate came out, so Im slowly trying to learn the tricks of the trade

I was wondering if someone was also willing to help me, the instructions on the link are kinda of vague I think

we are working on it

Seems that adb does not like Win7. Anyone else see issues?

The instructions seemed clear as day to me. Put the phone in debug mode, use adb to push the files, execute a shell script, use sqlite3 to allow side loading, change permissions on the files you pushed, and reboot.

I think what they are looking for is where to put the files that they download. I know in the rooting tread, it was missing. I also think some people do it differently, so it may help just to let them know how you find it easiest to navigate to them, etc.
Personally, I take the files that were downloaded and extract them all. Then make sure you have downloaded the android SDK program and put it on the root of your computers hard drive such as drive C:. Then add those files you downloaded to the "Tools" file within sdk.
To navigate to them with command prompt, it would look like: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run the commands as listed in the tread.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for, but if you are comfortable flashing roms, flash Cognition 2.2 (its already rooted).
Good luck

I'm running W7 and am having issues with adb. I'm a noob to android but I'm learning. Anyway, I tried your suggestion of adding the files to the tools directory but when I enter "su" the system returns "su: not found". Any help?

[Q] Where's the fixflash download link?

I checked the thread for it and i saw the direct download link and i clicked on it but it loaded a page with words about the process but no actual download occurred. Is fixflash still functioning?

read it again, and follow the instructions, for the love of god.
quoted from THAT thread:
FixFlash is very easy to use, and only requires that you do the following:
1. Copy FixFlash.sh to the root of your sdcard
2. Extract the zip of the ROM you want to flash to your phone on your computer. This is necessary for the verification process.
3. Copy both the original .zip file and the extracted folder of the .zip to the root of your sdcard
4. Boot into recovery and follow your normal flash procedure.
5. Once the flash has finished, but before doing anything else in Recovery, run this command from your computer's terminal/command prompt:
adb shell sh /sdcard/FixFlash.sh
You should see output in your terminal/command prompt indicating if there were any corrupted files encountered, and whether or not they were repaired. The whole process is fairly quick, and should only take a minute or so, depending on your sdcard speed.
6. Reboot your phone and enjoy!
At this point you can remove the extracted copy of the zip from your sdcard, its job is done!

I used psneuter for the root method inside s1c (should be default). I heard prior to using s1c that gingerbreak wasn't working on this phone.

Well after breaking the command prompt on my laptop(vista...) I got it on my old desktop. Problem was computer sucked. So if anyone has a crappy computer. When it freezes. On your phone endebug. Wait about twenty seconds. It'll freeze again. Debug it. It'll freeze again. Undebug again. Itll process about half of the information. Then this time it wont freeze but it'll wait for you to debug it again. Then it'll install superuser and test it. So Gingerbreak. Freeze. Undebug. Freeze. Debug. Freeze. Undebug. Ask for root. Debug.

The original was not a real zip, it's a rar. Rename it to .rar and open it with 7-zip. If not, re-download it. Preferably here: http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2. Supposedly that one's a bonafied zip.

Yeah, this is the complete set of drivers for this device (nothing omitted). It will go through the process of setting up the drivers one more time, and then never again (it should find everything).

Ok so I used the drivers from that page and when I use S1C it gets to running psnsuter (or gingerbreak both do the same thing) it never gets any further.. I even waited like 15mins.. I have usb debug on and internet connection mode. I tried the manual adv method and when I run the. rage command in adb shell adb restarts but my phone never shows back online doing the adb devices command... I am at a loss.... have used both win 7 and win XP.

[TOOL] 1Click_CWR

I have made a small utility that will install CWR on the LG thrill. Untested on the optimus 3D....
Thanks to designgears for outlining the original procedure in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257588
WARNING:
Your warranty is now void.
I take no responsibility for bricked, dead, or unresponsive phones. If you are uncomfortable using this tool, then DON'T. Furthermore, I created this utility for my phone, and decided to share it with the community.
This utility was coded in c# in a windows 7 environment. I can only speak to this working on windows 7. If it works on XP, great; but I only tested it on my windows 7 system. Confirmed working in XP by: gentzleon
Before you begin:
Phone must be rooted!!! Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251663
Must have an SD card in the phone.(This is used for the storage of the recovery backup)
Drivers MUST be installed! ( Direct Link: Here)
Instructions:
1). Plug phone into computer via USB cable.
2). Turn on USB Debugging mode
3). Launch 1click_CRW with admin privilages (right click->run as Administrator)
4). Enjoy
Notice
Because people have different computer speeds and the fact I wrote this in 10 minutes, there is a pause between each command. Just click 'ok' when the popup messages says waiting.....Its fool proof.
ALSO: I did not put any error checking in it because I did not feel the need. I created this for fun and decided to share it.
If you see an error from ADB like no devices found, make sure your drivers are installed and restart the computer.

Sure no prob at all.

This installed cwr just fine but when i try to make a backup or install a new rom it says error cannot mount sd card does anyone know y this would happen

Freaking sweet. I was hoping to find something easier to do this with that having to go through the other method to flash GB Roms. That is what this is for right?

All those having problems installing, make sure all your permissions to /data are checked-(all 9) if not you will not be able to install recovery...
To set permissions you must;
Have root explorer or the free app ES file explorer.
---Navigate to /data and press and hold
---Select properties
---you will see at the bottome where it says permissions an option to change
--- Select change and make sure all are checked.,
---click out, reboot phone and it should all work..
There have been instances where the folder will change back permissions or not save the new permissions so just perform it again... Enjoy the 1 click CWM Now If this could be included in the script it will make it fool proof.....

I think I may change this app and create it in a windows form...I will have a button that follows the same procedure as it does now, and a second button to fix permissions..However, should I have it apply the permission change to the entire /data? Seems unsafe to me, but I'm paranoid.
Also, work has been long, and my wife and I are in the final process of buying a new house. So that is why I haven't been on much.

Phone unusable/help me find the bad app

Well to get a long story short,im not a complete noob in the rooting,optimising,flashing bussiness.
So dont tell me flash this kernel or this stock rom,or this or that.
The problem after hours of searching is a bad app.
I have bought over 500 apps cause i want to support the community.
So,when i restore all my apps,when the phone starts,after the home screen loads AT THE MOMENT WHERE IN TOUCHWIZ OR ADW OR WHATEVER THE APPS ARE FINALLY LOADED
REBOOT,hot reboot most of the times...
I tried everything...startup managers to block everything and i mean everything...
Rescan media root app to stop scanning of sdcard...
Everything,no matter if it froyo,ginger,ics,stock,rooted or WHATEVER.
Of course i can install one app at a time an reboot,to see what happens but that will take ages and also maybe one app 'hit' with another...
So help me find the bad app...
I am no noob but i am no pro either...
So how do i take a logcat? Will that help either way?
Do i have to use adb?
help....

You are kidding right? You have 500 apps installed at the same time? Why on Earth? I think you are lucky the phone even tries to boot...
On to your problem at hand - no one here will be able to help you with the info you provided.

I thought their was like a 30 app limit to android?
Adb is your best bet.

Well you certainly need apps 2 SD ... but you probably already have that.
To use adb, download it firstly. Its in the Google developer tools.
Once downloaded open terminal. Alt+ctrl+t. Use CD to change to the directory that contains adb in the platform tools. Once your in the folder containing adb, type "./adb logcat" without the quotes. This is for a computer running Ubuntu Linux also

i have set adb succesfully and i see the logcat on my cmd window running like hell most of the time.
i read that you can use some commands like -w -e etc to narrow the results to important messages? is that correct?
if yes,how you can do that? i mean the full command adb logcat....etc

Unfortunately I have very little adb experience...
Maybe try something like the same command you used
"./adb logcat"
I guess going by what you're saying you could try something like
"./adb logcat -w" try that then maybe replace the w with e..
Keep in mind these are just guesses because I do not know for certain

Another way would be using ddms - connect your phone in debug and run ddms (it's included in the SDK Tools). It provides an interface to browse your device's logs and filter them according to your needs. I think you'll be able to locate that one which explains why your phone is crashing.
On second thought however - is it possible for you to turn the debug on?

it must be a bad app because i used to have many apps since froyo times and no problem.
like 500...and the phone was fast.
i really want to find that bad app and kill it

================================
wow,ddms is a dream! thats what i was looking for!!!
thank you

Sorry for the double post but i thought it needed a single post.
Well,the problem is fixed with the help of you guys!!!
I was getting a hell lot of warnings about watchdog_n and stuff.
I googled it and appeared that a whole bunch of people had the same problem especially with nexus s etc.
They said it was due to some crappy app wanting to auto-sync.
So i did a wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache,fix fc and then when the phone rebooted i disabled the auto-sync.
Guess what,no more loops and soft reboots!!!
I still dont know what app is causing all the problems and propably never will,if you thing that the same apps in my tablet dont cause a thing,but after the auto-sync off the problem is gone.
Good thing though i dont need auto-sync cause its not the best solution...
