Just got me an old Samsung GT i9000 Galaxy S and I was wondering if there is a way to check if the phone is already rooted?
BTW it's running on FROYO.BOJPB 2.2 on T-Mobile

Open a terminal emulator, type "SU" in it. If you get no errors you then have a rooted ROM.
Another way to know is if you have an app called superuser.

Just installed Terminal and tried the "su" command and it replied "not found".
I suppose it means that it's not rooted...

Download "root checker" from the market. IMO it does the job well...

just root your phone if you want, it's easy tho. and you can have a lot of improvements after rooting.

I've never heard of this bug nor had any problems with MMS
If you're having problems with mms try clearing out the telephony database
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm /data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases/telephony.db
adb reboot
Can u give me a little step by step please? I really just know the basics on this phone thanks

Acutally seeing as the majority of rooted people probably just use the 'one click' apps it'd be easier to do this via Terminal Emulator.
Download Termial Emulator if you don't already have it on your phone
Open up terminal emulator
Then type out the following code box (at the end of each line you press 'Enter')
Code:
su
rm /data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases/telephony.db
reboot

The location should exist...unless it was typed incorrectly or you have an incomplete flash /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ should definitely be there.
If you have root explorer or estrongs files explorer with root access you can navigate to that location and delete using those apps too. Rebooting will rebuild the telephony.db file after its deleted.
If you still are having problems trying to find the database file send me a PM and I'll help you out when I can on gtalk.
Edit: Do this, open up terminal emulator and enter these lines in
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases
ls
You should get a return line saying
Code:
mmssms.db telephony.db
And then reboot phone?

If you're referring to my previous post where you navigate to the directory and enter "ls" to list the files in that directory, then no. Thats just to see if the files are indeed there.
If they are, then you should do that "rm" command I posted before where you delete the telephony.db
If they both weren't there, even after a reboot, then as I said before - either the command wasn't typed in correctly, or the flash was incomplete.
Post what the 'ls' command returned to you after entering it in (ie. mmssms.db and/or telephony.db)
Its telling me not found after I enter "telephony databases"
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well I got that command to work that deletes the telephony DB but I still cant download certain mms it says download was unsuccessful
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Am I the only 1 who can't download mms on this phone?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Certain mms types will not work unless you're on a stock based rom. I believe it is the slideshows that are the problem.

Ok no problem just open up terminal emulator. First type su and enter. Next you type this flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-heroc.img then enter. BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THIS MAKE SURE YOUR RECOVERY IS ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SDCARD.

I seem to be having a problem. Terminal emulator simply says that it cannot find the recovery image. the image is on the root of my sd card. Do I need to already have android 2.3 to be able to do this? or can I just go from android 2.2 (CM 6.1)?
The img file is not just 3.0.0.5-heroc.img or whatever, it includes a string of numbers and dates tacked on to the end. Try using a file manager to rename it and then try again with Terminal Emulator.

Hey Guys,
Is there any way I can downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2.1 ? I accidentally upgraded to 2.3.3 and lost my rooting. I'd like to install rVoix in my Nexus One but it seems like it doesn't work unless you downgrade to 2.2.1 and root it again.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Thanks

I used SuperOneClick to root my device and it says successfully rooted. However when I checked using Root checker downloaded from Market place, it says "You dont have root access".
I can run su command from within adb shell which means I should be on a rooted phone I guess. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I installed rVoix.apk on the device however I couldn't find the folder /dev/voc. The instruction says do "adb shell chmod 666 '/dev/voc*' " but I am not able to find that folder.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I bought one samsung captivate SGH-I897, But after i got it i looked on it and found there is no option to install out of market apps. Everytime.i try to install somthing from outside market it says " for security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from android market".
I somehow manage to root to using oneclick root but still there is no option to install outside apps and it stil says same thing.

On the oneclickroot program there's an option to " allow non market apps" to unlock your phone you'll need to SEARCH xda or Google/xda on the one click unlocker for captivate. Some captivates it works others are to new. + galaxy s unlocker in the market has proven to work for some.

This isn't working for me and I'm not sure why. Also, the captivate isn't showing that USB Debugging is connected, even though it's on and ADB via SuperOneClick and detect the phone. Drivers from samsung's webpage are installed as well.

It depends which firmware your Cappy is on.
