1. yes i have tried searching for my answer
2. while this may be an easy answer im a noob and dont know some of the terms so plz break it down for me
ok now for my question i have a samsung captivate with froyo 2.2 uckb2 and i want to get root access on my phone the only computer i have access to has linux mint which is the main problem if i had windows i would have already oneclicked this and been done with it but my main question is i have seen heimdall and im still really confused if thats what i need or not second do i need the drivers if i have linux i remember somewhere saying i didnt need the drivers if im on linux (might have misread)
feel free to post links im not afraid to read up on something but i have been looking for a while and cant get a clear cut answer and thus i posted another thread feel free to delte this but at least let me get an answer first plz
Simple search on Google.
Rooting Captivate on linux
No clue if that will work on mind, but still.
yea thats def the first thing i did but all of the ones that come up just leave me even more confused than i already am like what is abd and everything else like i said i have already looked around and im just confused as to what i need
also tried the link there but that gives me a head ache even trying to think about that i mean if someone could break down some of the terms he uses there i would gladly stop dirtying up the thread with my nooby questions
Basically you are going to do everything the 1 click does in the terminal. Just follow the steps its literraly broken in to simple command steps.
And learn how to use a period. Holy run on sentence batman. You're entire first post is one rambling, jumbled, **** storm of a sentence. If you want help you at least need to type in a way that people can understand it.

i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.
if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.
youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.

If you want to overclock or mess with your phone and know nothing read nothing and learn nothing before you start be prepared to throw a dead phone in the bin .
So take your time and read up first .

Hi, I have no 3BR either but I found an app that gives you the 3BR, it's called Quick Boot and is available in the market, hope that helps.
brian.
That app just goes to force shut down all the time
Jj i understand that you can brick your phone. Ive messed with a psp and that took days of reading. Just need to get this 3 button working and then go from there

I restored download mode on my phone using this guide, you need to read it very carefully though, as I bricked my phone on the first time trying (used odin v1 instead of 1.3), luckily if you do brick then you can use the download mode jig.
got it going ha ha now try to find out how to clock this baby
is anyone can help me with that would be great.

better get the reading glasses out. thanks for that
from what guides ive read through they all seem to be for people who know what there doing.
dont get me wrong i build my own computers (not exactly rocket science) and ive flished my gpu and ive flash WII's and psp's although i did have to do alot of reading on them there were many noob guides or at least semi noob guides
all seem to be going over my head a little
OP updated with another question. dont want to keep opening new threads. so if someone could help i would be grateful thank you
of reading on them there were many noob guides or at least semi noob guides
No all you can do is read whats posted first ..
Noob guides are of no use 99% of noobs dont read guides .
Overclocking most definitely advanced users .
User must be able to recover from bad flash and no how to flash via Odin via CPW update get into download mode and use a recovery jig .

Google shows: http://tech.ruimaninfo.com/?p=43
(after a link back to this post)
I use debian not ubuntu but the idea is install the java5 package from the older version (keeping your java6 package) then use the alternatives command to switch between them.
If you primarily use java6 and don't want to be constantly switching the alternatives you can always in part of your build setup (just before running '. build/envsetup' add the java6 bin directory to the beginning of your path. (That or take a moment to allow java6 to work with froyo.. I'm not sure exactly what needs to happen but it ought not be that bad [edit: seems the same person has some instructions for java6: http://tech.ruimaninfo.com/?p=49 ])

Hello Everybody!
So, the thing is that I bought a brand new DS7 from ebay recently, and it has Honeycomb in it, but about a week ago things went wrong -actually I'm not sure if it was good before. The tablet does not work on the proper way. First of all, I tried to install iGO on it, but it didn't let me to do it. So I can't install apps. And there are times when I can't connect it to the computer...and etc. I was wondering if it has a proper Honeycomb in it...so the point is that I decided to delete everything from it and reinstall the Honeycomb myself. I'm not very into these things, so it's a big effort for me to do this.
I have been searching for tutorials for 2 days. I think I found the right one somewhere here on this website. I've closed it unfortunately and it was opened yesterday and I cleared yesterday's history for some other reasons...so I can't open it again.
So the last time everything was ready, so was I, to do the installing. But, the comp. was searching for some APX files, probably drivers, but it didn't find it. So I couldn't continue the installation.
I've been looking for these drivers for hours, but haven't found anything. So I decided to register to this site, ask you, experts where to seek and what to do.
I lost so much time on this that I shouldn't have...
Thanks for your help in advance!
(Sorry for my English if it isn't understandable everywhere, I'm a non-native-speaker. Cheers! )
Now I'm about to restore the whole device following this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011654) tutorial. Hope it'll solve some of the problems.

Dude, try not to dobblepost. Its quite better when you edit the first one.
(By the way im not a native english speaker to but i hope you understand what i mean)
Could you write down how far you come. At which step do you stop? And if the drivers are a problem, please post your Computer OS, like Windows or Linux or Mac.
I have solved the problem. Should I delete this thread somehow?

No, you should post your solution in this thread. If someone has the same problem they may do a search and find this thread, and they can learn from you. Or if the solution was in another thread, post a link to that thread.
hah, okay The reason I didn't want to is because I think it's not a big deal. I have pushed the volume + and the Turn Off button then Factory Reset, and waited. Now everything's fine. The problem was, actually that I'd been doing...rather trying the reseting in a wrong way. I thought I should do it in the Settings/Privacy menu. But no. So It solved my problems. I didn't need to re-install Honeycomb as I'd thought the time I started this thread. I believed that the problem is in my HC, but fortunately no, so I'm going to sleep. Minden jót, srácok!
Hi all, I have searched and searched on here for what I need but just cant seem to find it. my GT-S5830 will go into dload mode but when i reboot it gives me the exclemation phone to pc sign. I have dloaded the "S5830XWKTR_S5830H3GKT4_S5830NEKT2_HOME.tar.md5" file and numerous versions of odin of which I now believe that "odin Multi_Downloader_v4.43" is the correct one for me. I think I am missing other files but am not sure. When I press start I get the message "unamed file not found" and in corner i get "killer timer"
I know this forum is designed for new users to learn for themselves and must use the search facility's etc to gain knowledge however I am an OLD new user and was wondering if anyone could help me sort this phone out. I recently rooted it (or at least I think i did) then tried to put new rom on it previous to getting the exclemation symbol. I now am trying to restore it to factory settings unrooted with my 3 carrier. maybe so that I can then root it and install new rom.... thats if I dont find getting my phone back to working condition to complicated..
Thanks in advance for any help and I am sorry admin if I am posting unhelpfully, I dont wish to clog the forum.
