(Sorry if I have mistakes in writing but I´m doing my best )
Well, here I go again... Few days ago I rooted my Captivate (At least I think I did it ) I flash it with Odin 1.85, I put it:
Kernel.- boog kj3 kernel3
Firmware.- I897UCKJ3_withBL
Ir runs with Gingerbread 2.3.5
So everything was fine until i tried to instal Titanium Backup, the first time I tried there was a legend that said: "Sorry, I can not log in as root. This app ... bla bla bla ... Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again"
After that I went to the Play Store and dowloaded Busybox but... Guess what? I couldn´t instal it , there was an error , it said something like: "I am unable to verify whether or not certain utilities needed for this application to run are present and functional on your device.
This problem could be cause by a device that is not properly rooted or by superuser settings that are misconfigured."
So the next step was install SuperUser app to "Give them" (To Busybox and Titanium) the necessary tools for their correctly instalation BUT..! I Still can´t instal anything I was looking for a thread or topic in the forum but nothing found, so please I don´t know what else to do , obviously something is missing but WHAT IS IT ? I really going to appreciate your help with this problem... Thanks

It's confusing because I have the ClockworkMod and I can perform some tasks like wipe Dalvik cache, It is assumed that you can only do this if you´re SuperUser or root, right? Thanks for responding!!!
U just have a kernel that has cwm recovery baked in by the dev. U do not have root though. And yep, this is possible.
And u don't even need Root if u r trying to flash a dev rom. See TRusselo's Guide that is a stickied thread in the Q & A forum for more info on flashing.

Damn! This is really confused , I thought that I had rooted my phone!!! Lol :laugh: ... But ok give me a hand here, like a noob that I am :silly: I just start to understand how this works, first of all, can you put the link of TRusselo's Guide please? (Thanks about that)
Second thing, You mean that the only thing I have won is have the CWM Thats a good thing right? Because now I can do a backup and restore the phone if something go wrong, or thats another bad idea that I have? I´ll appreciate that link, I have to many questions and I hope answer some of them with that thread... Once again thanks for responding!!! :good:

There are no long steps. Most of the roms keep you root after installing them, but just in case if you dont have root after installing a rom, just use Universal Androot because it's very easy and it's one click root(happens very fast).
I've already rooted using universal androot

All of the AOSP based ROMs (like CM) give you root automatically.
The issue you have is that you need a custom recovery in order to install the ROMs. These custom recoveries (OpenRecovery and drivatives) will allow you to do all sorts of neat stuff.
So, no...you don't need to re-root once you install CM7.
Actually, how do you lose root?
It's happened a couple of times that I run Titanium backup and it tells me that I'm not rooted.
It's an easy fix. I just goto AOR and do it again.
But I'm just curious as to how I can get unrooted like that.
But do we need to root for open recovery to install?

No root is necessary on a milestone (may be different on droid).
You just need to flash the vulnerable recovery and the install OR.

On most phone, root is necessary to install custom or vulnerable recoveries.
On milestone, there is no need to do this as this step is taken care of by the SBF flashing in RSD.

That link doesn't work.
Anyway, I remember that I did not have to root the phone.
The first step was applying the vulnerable sbf.
Then I was able to load androidiani openrecovery.
Once in open recovery, I could apply a ROM without root.
Heck, I think root is just an afterthought during this process.
Root is just another menu item in AOR.... the hard part was getting into AOR in the first place.
For whatever mysterious reason, I lost root a couple of times over the last couple of weeks.
CM6 didn't stop working. Titanium backup did stop working but it was nice enough to tell me that I was no longer rooted.
No big deal. I just went into AOR and rooted again.
Edit: No wonder I had deja vu... I kinda mentioned that last bit on page 1 already...
Yeah for some strange reason the link isn't working I'll try and fix it if possible

I just ODINed back to I897UCJF6 2.1update1 eclair on my captivate and I want to flash some custome roms again. I have flashed multiple roms for example (Firefly,Cognition) but now I cant seem to find the Rom Manger Free app in the market?
I have tried the following:
Market Enablers
Appbrain Market
Sideloading apk (this works but cant connect to clockwork server error)
The only thing i am able to download is the premium rom manager which is just a license.
Any help?
Im running out of ideas here thanks!
Don't waste your time with Rom Manager. Flash a kernel with cwm or load the update.zip with cwm and go from there. Not sure where the update.zip is anywhere but should be somewhere.
Rom manager is completely unnecessary for the captivate
this is the file you need
How do you get Clockworkmod recovery installed with out Rom Manager? I can't see it i the market either.
Wow just wow..... Sticky guide I usually say use the search button, but geezuz christ it would be a good idea to read the stickies on dev, Q&A and General.....

Thanks for the guide. Using Rom Manager is the easy way to get CWM installed, but if you totally mess up your cappy like I did, that guide helped me out a lot.
Flashing ODIN 1 click stock, and then following the guide. I had to use Heimdal to get it on but now that I have all the necessary files i can break and rebuild a cappy in 10 minutes. (got a jig also, miracle device, just Ebay'ed Captivate Jig)
Hey guys. I'm sorry to ask. I'm traveling and don't have allot of time. I'm an experienced HTC user my buddy has a rooted cappy but no cwm. I know very little about Samsung. Can I just flash that update zip? The phones on 2.1 and I want to put gingerbread on it. Thanks in advance.

You can use that update zip, but you need new bootloaders for GB. Flash one of the odin/heimdall packages found here. After that just flash a kernel with cwm baked in with odin/heimdall and flash w/e rom you want. Reminder flashing bootloaders can hard brick the phone if connection is lost at the wrong moment or you mismatch bootloaders. Just flash a package that includes them and you should be good. Make sure your cable is good and so forth.. Good luck

You shouldn't need ADB. It should run on 86 and 64 bit OS. Odin is windows only, heimdall is multi platform.

No we can't. Rom manager was never very good with our Galaxy S phones and its gotten worst. +3e recovery its just trash in general. Easier to flash a kernel with it baked in.

Can someone please help me out. I flashed back to Odin 2.1 and now I can't get Rom Manager back. It's in my titanium backup, but it wont let me reinstall it. Does anyone know of an APK for RM or have a link to a good kernal with it in it? I want to put a good rom in it but I'm having trouble without RM. I've seen warnings about Bootloading too, so I'm leery of doing it that way.
Can someone help me out please. Thanks in advance.

Try to please post in q&a.
Get root. Install apk from market. Apply update. Flash a 2.2 rom. Easy and simple. GOOGLE.
If you mean install the App itself, RM is no longer available for the Captivate. Only RM Pro and its just a activation code. RM won't even show up on the market with the Cappy. It does for my SGS2.

Depends on what version of android. Just look for kernels for that specific version and you will have CWM. Doesn't really have to match but better that way if you mess up. Get the kernel with cwm and flash with ODIN.
rom manager only works with captivate 2.1 android (eclair)
you do not even need to search to find all the info you need. stickies are at the top of each forums first page for a reason. read them all... in each captivate section... q&a, general, development (read dont post)
And with that

A friend tried messin around with his tab when he doesnt even know how to jailbreak an iphone 3g... The tab wouldnt even boot past the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, but it was able to get to download mode... I used a guide to update it to gingerbread using odin, and everything went well! I opened odin, selected PIT and chose the P1_add_hidden.pit file, then i selected PDA and chose the P1000NVFJP6_P1000NUBJP3_P1000NUUBJPB_HOME.tar.md5 file, and i made sure i checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time, Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update.. everything went well, but on recovery it was unable to update the systemfile.. but everything else on recovery updated and installed fine! as it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootanimation in the part it says Samsung glowing.. did i do something wrong? how can i fix this? I am still able to get to recovery and download mode fine..

Why do some people think its rational to use absolutely ridiculous titles like "hlp plz" etc etc??
Please use common sense and use descriptive titles, ie a short title that describes your topic for people browsing the forum. "help plz" does not describe your topic in absolutely any way other then somebody using a completely generic title.

Yes, there is a lot of reading to do, if you want to study it all.
I dont think SuperOneClick is meant for ICS, I will recommend you to look at this:

And then I would suggest you try option 2 in "How to get root". You dont need to download ICS, you already have it.
