No rooting method is working

Obviously possible but I am trying to root my buddies CAptivate and NOTHING is working. What am I missing. TRied z4, cant use because AT&T blocks 3rd arty installs, tried superone click and does nothing, tried the other one click and it sits on the little blue screen saying my phone should be rebooting but my phone just sits there ? Tried the "update.zip" method and tells me "bad E-siganture"
can someone please HELP!!!
Pc has current drivers installed and has degugging checked

1: search for esignature problems, there is a way around this. (simple)
2: use sideload wonder machine from android central to load z4root.
3:use z4root

Thank you. I finally got this to work as far as I have the Super User app installed on the phone. I thought if I had this then the phone is def rooted yet when I try to delete ATT bloat ware it still won't let me.
Is this only because its still running the factory 2.2 froyo. Will the full SU benefits be there one I flash whatever ROM he wants on Monday ?
And what is the best rom for the cap ? I have the Eris running a GB rom that I love but I'm sure this phone is different

go to the market, download titanium backup. use that to uninstall, unwanted bloat...you cannot use the native package installer/uninstaller to remove system apps.

Tried using Astro and E Strongs both and niether worked and they are non native. I'll give TBU a try.

Tbu is the most popular app users use to remove apps. And it worked for me do I hope it can work for you

TB did the job.
What ROM do most cap users seem to like these days that stable and quick.

stable and quick
stick with froyo based roms. especially if you have to ask
besides that,,, research research.
there is no best.

My personal preference... Firefly.
The Gingerbread ROMs are still Beta.

ok i have to agree... firefly...

Thanks all. I don't think it's going to matter since when I reboot into recovery I do not have the option to "flash zip from sd card". I got it rooted, installed rom manager and flashed clockwork but to no avail. This all seemed to go so smoothly when I did our eris phones.
I have his "wireless tether" working and was able to delete a ton of ATT bloatware but I think he's going to stuck with the stock ATT 2.2 ota rom.

As you have already been told in this thread you need to make sure you have modified your 3e recovery to allow cwm to work.

Check out TRusello's signature "3e recovery fix" also after you boot into recovery from rom manager you have to "reinstall packages" twice, then you will see all the options...

you need to reinstall packages in recovery twice.
also you need the to fix 3e recovery before you can flash the cwm .zip.
look @ the stickies in the general section. there is a thread on working around 3e recovery. it contains a link to a batch script that'll fix it
there is also odin(tethered) that can replace the kernel with one that has cwm baked in
and sgs kernel flasher in the market that can do the same from the phone as long as it's rooted.

bit.ly is great...
3e fix in my sig 100 hits to-date (dirty version)
3e fix in the 3e thread 1 hit (cleaner version)

New to Nook.

Just got my Nook today, and am interested in rooting it. I'm looking for the best method to do so.
I have rooted my HTC Inspire using Bubby's one click method, so I'm not completely unfamiliar with the process, but want to make sure of the preferred method for the Nook before I started.
Any and all insight would be appreciated.

This is what I and many, many others have used. As far as I am concerned this is the best guide for installing cm7 on the nook color.

OK, great thank you. I know have CM7 running on my Nook. What version of Google apps do I need to get the Market installed?

I just use the version room manager has.
There's a post for the new market here in the nook forums, but I can send you the apk if you can't find it.

That would be appreciated, things I'm wanting to do:
- Market (I've got various items I paid for, that I would like to try).
- Fix ROM Manager, when trying to download, I get "Must upgrade...", then a force close. I'm assuming this is because I don't have the paid version installed, which I can download from Market (since I purchased it)
- Install Amazon Kindle (for the irony factor).
Any insight would be great, since I'm obviously new at this (I've owned my Nook for about 15 hours)

I used the method described in Cyanogen's wiki and had the same issue. I ended up having to install through recovery instead of ROM Manager.

So is rom manager not working for you?
I'm sure there's about a million download links for this, but il make our ready for you

OK, I am now officially pissing myself. I am now able to get into Clockwork Recovery, I've wiped Factory/Cache/Dalvik, applied CM, and after a system reboot, it just goes back into recovery.
Help!

I am not having any luck whatsoever, and am afraid I bricked my device.
I've attempted to do a CM install (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide), but after putting the image on, and rebooting, it goes to black, but never comes back up.
Not sure what to try at this point.

OK, something new, I was able to return back to 1.0.1, but when I get to step 5 of setup, it indicates there is a problem, and to call B&N. It reports that the serial number, model number, and Mac address ing as "MISSING", and it is at version 1.0.1.
I do have a blue dot on the box.

Can I root with a flashable zip?

I have nook ver 1.3 stock. I have also made a bootable Clockwork recovery SD card. Is there a way to use this sd card to root the device and install CM7 to the emmc?
I assume I need to root the device. New to the nook.

You don't need to root to install CM7 from a clockworkmod micro SD.

I suspected that. So the new ROM and CWM recovery will be installed to emmc? It seems like this maybe the easiest way and best way to go back and forth between roms/stock, rather than rooting it and doing it internally. Agree?
I love this device. I may pick a second one up from ebay (B&N refurbished).

CWM won't be installed, but you can install that with ROM manager once CM7 is installed.

Thanks. I assume this can also be done with CM7 variations, ie, phiremod and miui, right?

Yes but once CM7 is installed (which is rooted by default) it's much easier to just flash new roms using ROM Manager. I recommend getting the premium version if you want to install nightlies.

got you. I already have the premium RM. Thanks

one more question, booting from the sd card and the CWR on it, I format data, cache, emmc, boot and system andthen flashed phiremod rom. somehow my wifi settings and wallpaper were saved. I thought I would get a setup screen. Is it because these roms are not rooted and it's just being installed over stock?

I thought those settings were saved in /data. Hmm.
In the future, I wouldn't recommend formatting anything other than system when you flash a new ROM unless it specifically states to (which it shouldn't if it's a well written rom ).
It sounds like you didn't actually format those, which would definitely be a good thing, especially for EMMC.

[Q] Super One Click

I have rooted my captivate with super one click then i clicked "allow non market apps" and it runs but it does not change anything on my phone and i can not install non market apps. My phone is on 2.1.

Damn dude, that version of Android is ancient. Just update it to kb2 (the last official 2.2) or kk4 the official 2.3 update. Both allow this option in settings without the need to even root. Not to mention the performance boost you'll get from a newer version of Android.

I know its old but its stock so I thought I would flash it to cm7. But I need to install a few non market apps. Any help?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

What? Why do you need a any apps BEFORE you flash to cm7? Those will be erased when you flash a rom. So You're just spinning your wheels

I want to get rom manager free. I can only get the paid version in market. I bought the paid version and wants me to install the free version.
Sent from my LGL55C using xda premium

no need for rom manager at all that app really isnt very useful on galaxy devices, when it installs cwm all it does is download the attached update.zip and flashes it. everything else such as backing up and such can be done from within recovery itself.
grab this zip put it on the root of the sdcard and boot into recovery, go to reinstall packages twice and that will boot you into cwm. wherein you can flash cm7

Just update....
Download kies: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I897ZKAATT
will update you to kk4 2.3.5
then flash a custom kernel with odin... Then you can install cm7 or 9 or anything else you want

So I guess I wasted $6 buying the app.

You probably only bought the paid version license key...which still requires the core program(free). A lot of apps are like that such as Titanium Backup.

Studacris I did what u told me but I get this error
"E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

Is it in the main directory of /sdcard? Don't put it in any folders.

[Q] Nook HD+ Rooting and Romming Help

Ok I'm not entirely sure where to start with rooting and flashing a new rom onto one of these fancy tablets and i'm used to dealing with phones where there are a bunch of sticky posts leading to wikis and such not of how to do this yet i see no such sticky posts so i was curious if someone could point me in the proper direction of where to get started with rooting one of these and then flashing cyanogenmod onto it.
Also a side question from the owner/user of this tablet, is there a way to install the stock rom onto a bootable microSD card to be able to keep the stock apps and stuff or should i just be able to make backups of the stock apps, namely officesuite, with titanium backup once the device is rooted?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Thanks for all the info leapinlar. A couple more questions. I haven't checked with root checker yet, but is the nook rooted by default?
Also i notice that when you go about installing cyanogenmod, that you make a back up of the stock rom, which is standard in any romming. However, I can't remember, is there a way to install certain apps from the stock rom backup once you've gotten into CM and got it running? I only ask because I'd like to be able to install office suite that comes with the stock B&N rom onto CM.

Just manually put back the apps you want after you do it.... Pretty painless. Also, after root you have the option to install apk's from anywhere so no probs
Also i remember my first root and while this sit is very helpful and the people are great i was still nervous to do it until i watched a few youtube vids on the process, i guess i am a more visual learner when it comes to things. Anyways though, watching the videos of the proicess helped me tons
Good luck
