i was running rooted stock. Did forever root, flashed update 893, flashed liberty 3 rom. I noticed that the version went back to 886 so i did oneclick instead of backup to try again. While running oneclick i got INFOPreinstallation error on the boot.img write. Everything else flashed then i tried to root and it gave me an error as well. My phone is running fine but i cant root. Is my phone done or can o root again?
think you may have turned yours into a bastard hybrid
it can be fixed, just have to find the fix, it's linked in one of the .893 threads

I am new to android
Since the official 2.2 upgrade is released, I updated through Samsung kies mini without unrooting my stock rom 2.1
then I found the superuser icon vanished
I google it and tried Super One Click

...it said rooted but when i download rom manager...the first thing i did is to backup current rom...when i clicked ok for backup...it did nothing...then i tried to download some apps required root to see if it works...every apps required root (super manager, rom manager(appeared not responding for every options), root exploer, etc.) forced close...
i tried one click root for for all models as well...

but i cant even launch the app by using window 7 32 bit...
i tried the alternative way suggest by other ppl by only double click the root 2.2.bat..it pushed an update.zip file to my phone but when i tried to reinstalll package..it failed and say E signature verification failure!?...
I even tried it on mac..but failed as well (i connected my phone and the software said it pushed the update.zip and boot into recovery mode but in fact nothing happening on my phone)
I did a factory reset and wondering how to root AT&T Captivate official 2.2
I'm having the same problem. I don't think any of those one click apps will work with 2.2 official, since they're all for 2.1. I tried all of them, and none of them worked. I'm getting the Atrix soon anyway, so I'm not gonna bother trying to root my Captivate anymore
Have you tried using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418
i tested the KB1 froyo update and rooting via superoneclick just to see how it works. I had to reboot after rooting it though. Superuser was there but it didnt appear rooted. After rebooting, everything worked fine.
I'm back with Phoenix 5.2, which I recommend over the stock froyo update anyway.
Rooting 2.2
I had the same problem. What I found from searching around is that the recovery console in 2.2 is 3e. 3e fixed the loophole most of the rooting software goes after, so , no 2.2 won't root, at least not the same way 2.1 would.
I also upgraded to the leaked Froyo, but later on downgraded to 2.1 so that I could use the normal upgrade methods.
Enjoy !
Is it mean that AIO Captivate Toolbox is not working too?
If it is..then I wont try
been worried to make another factory reset
these threads are so common now.
use SuperOneClick. it works, but you cant use the PSNeuter method, you have to use the RAGE method.....look to the right of the buttons when you load it up, you will see what i am talking about
tried to restore stock with one click and it wont flash the boot.img . Said something like INFOPreinstallaton error. Cant root either. What to do?
Well, first off, your question is in the wrong thread...it will most likely be moved soon...
second....did you update to .893?
Edit: if so and your bootlooped.... this is the one you want http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7801-roo...v10-linuxwindows-get-root-after-893-ota-oops/

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when you flashed liberty, you flashed .886 system, but the .893 kernel and radio remained. not sure which one click you used to lose root, are you sure you lost root? if, so.... this is just my opinion and what i would do....I would run th3orys and dhackers fix above and flash 2.1 when it comes out.
i will try that. Thanks for the info.
I'm stuck on .901 without root. I cant get back to stock. I have tried RSD and 4EVER root and no dice. Can someone help?
i just used pathsaver thismorning to go back so i could do some beta testing for someones script and it works everytime i use it. just make sure after you reinstall 893 you check and make sure you are forever rooted not just rooted. if you are rooted but not forever rooted you will loose root when you install 901 again
I recently rooted my bionic, then, thanks to crobbs, flashed ics .232 onto it. during this whole process i safe-strapped a recovery to my sd-ext. i then heard that ics should come out no latter than Sept. 30th.(if Motorola and Verizon come through) so i decided id go back to the stock version so i could get the ota update whenever it came out. i went back to stock using the fxz tools and im back to .905 GB stock un rooted. (or so i hope, not to sure how to tell if im on the ota)
***My main question.....since i still have my very first original safestrap recovery saved....if i was to root right now and use that original safestrap recovery, would i get everything i had from my old phone back just the way i had it when i first safe-strapped?
I was running DynamicKat 2.1 and somehow lost SS recovery reboot. In the process of trying to restore it I wiped my phone and had to revert back to MJ5. It is up and running fine but I can't get it to root. I have been to this point a few times but the rldv.zip method from, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715 , I used before isn't working or Klingo Root, which I also used the first time I rooted my Note 3 isn't detecting phone. I just did this a few days ago to get root but for some reason now it isn't working. I need to get root back so I can boot into SS and get back to DynamicKat. Any tips or advice on something i am possibly overlooking this time would be great. Thanks in advance.
Try deleting your current USB drivers, plug in your phone, let Windows reinstall them, and try again. This always worked for me after reverting to MJ5 and Kingo wasn't detecting my phone.
