Looking for anyone who would be able to help me root this since the ZVC upgrade, I've been over at the other android forums and following the step by step rooting guide and running into problems on both a Vista operating system and Windows 7. I'm looking for someone I can bounce a few questions off of as I have spent the last day and a half trying to get this thing downgraded and rooted. I'm willing to try anything!!! My patience is wearing thin... Thanks in advance!
I'm in the same boat, but I have patience.

I don't have a Marquee but I'll be happy to answer any questions you have though.
A quick google showed me there is quite a few ways to root it. What methods did you try? (I don't know which methods will work on the newer software)
I've tried them all and none work.

1) Have you tried this : link
It should work regardless of what firmware you are using now. Since it will downgrade you to a firmware that can be rooted using security flaws.
2)If you want to keep the newer firmware and not use a custom ROM it's more complicated.
Get your firmware like so : link
Extract it to bin and fls like and inject CWM like so : link
Install it using SFT like so : link
Use the bin and fls files from the above step and NOT the one posted in the thread
Then you'll boot into recovery make wipe in data and cache and in advanced wipe dalvik.
If you are unsure of anything in method 2 don't use it. It can brick your phone ( I can be unbricked but that unnecessary hassle ) Use the first method. ROMs for P970 will not work on the Marquee. (If it does boot then it's lucky don't take the chance thou)
blackjack includes a marquee root process. since I never got feedback for it, I don't know if it works....

Hey guys,
Trying to help a buddy at work unlock his driod1 - he updated to FFRG22D - now any of the single click root methods do not work..
My phone is a nexus1 and did not have these issues: As I am not a Droid owner / user I am hoping people in the forums here help to get him rooted.
I would like to get him on to ClockWork - so we can flash CM6 on his droid.
Can someone point me to a good guide to rooting this?
Cheers,
hey if he is OTA FRG22D can you please post his build.prop file for me to take a look at, it can be found under /system on phone memory, i am working out a market fix for rooted frg01b users like my self, i wont update until after frg22d is rooted for real but i can spoof the version and fingerprint if i have that file contents
i found what i was looking for after a while, thanks.

Have you had any luck? My buddy had his phone replaced and the new one has this update, but he would like me to root it again for him.
can you not just download the old froyo, put it in the sd as update.zip, flash that then root?
FRG22D hotspot app
I have the OTA FRG22D stock unrooted. In-order to root it, I used the following procedure, from droidforums:
"Root Droid 1 - regardless of OS version". After installing the custom recovery:
"MC1_A855_1282081087_Recovery-Only_SPRecovery_0.99.3b.sbf", I was then successful installing a wifi hotspot app

The one click root apps do not work with FRG22D. The exploit those apps used was patched with this release.
The FRG01B & FRG22B stock/odex/deodex only work for devices that are already rooted. Meaning that if you do manage to imstall them you will not have root.
You need to do a *sbf* back to 2.1 or2.01.

It doesn't.
The method that RodNoc_eR just mentioned above just worked for me. Here's the link again: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html
for those of you who are doing this the complicated way, THERE IS a ONE-CLICK METHOD, since I cant post links, Google SuperOneClick, download and find instructions, its pretty much as easy as downloading the .zip, extracting it to where ever you want, right click on SuperOneClick application and Run as Administrator, make sure USB debugging is checked, DO NOT mount as USB storage device, click root button on the program, let it do its thing, and wa-la!
You have acheived root! Be sure to download the Custom Recovery of your choice, which is as easy as DLing Rom Manager from the Market and flashing ClockworkMod, I just did this and am now happy I spent time searching and not typing commands into the SDK, super easy and it works for the DROID 1 FRG22d, I just did it.
Enjoy!
Is there a easier way to Root your captivate, I have tried several one click or different ways and have had no luck. Anybody can help me with this or point me in the right direction that works? the one click app don't work I really want to add and run other apps.
And also the KIES software does not work it never did. I really don't like the software even after trying the lite version. I like Droid Explorer. Oh yea this is on a 2.2 Froy OS

Have you considered joining the party and flashing a custom ROM? They all come prerooted to make your lives easier. At least I know my ROMS, MikeyMikes and anything by designgears does. I have not tried the rest yet.
I would definitely follow adam's advice and just flash a new rom. here is a good tutorial to help you get started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Adam's roms are great as well as DG's. Give one of them a try and realize how good of a phone the captivate really is.
Paragon is pre rooted also.

OP said one click doesn't work for him lol but op have you enabled usb debugging before trying out one click? Just asking to make sure. Although I recommend going the custom rom route as well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
If you are that stuck on rooting only, and one click really doesnt work for you (thats a first).
Google root captivate. A root update.zip should be very easy to find, put it on your internal sd card, reboot into recovery mode and select reinstall packages.
Id post one, but i am on my phone...
^ not going to be able to root on stock froyo at the recovery 3e wont let you install unsigned zips. The one workaround to this would be flashing a custom kernel via ODIN and then using that custom recovery to root.
Doh! I missed that.
Maybe odin to 2.1, and install a custom rom / kernel package...
Not to familier with the rev, but i need to fix this for a friend, i tried searching so sorry if this has been answered before, but my friend deleted autorun in tibu and now the phone wont connect to a pc. she deleted a bunch of other nessisary apps as well, so i wasnt sure if a factory reset would help. shes on the V6 2.2 update, stock rooted. i assume clockwork is installed so does anyone have a link to a v6 rom that i could flash in clockwork. or the autorun apk or any better ideas?

V6 was never really rooted so a ROM wasn't made for it. I would say just update the phone to the latest update and then root and flash Broken out.

Unfortunately the software won't update without all of the stock applications that are built in to the phone. You'll need to flash the v6.tot file found here.

Ok, idk if this will work but it should. Try flashing the v8.tot from emergency download mode. (pull the bat then connect to your PC with the LG software running) flash the tot then use the test mode fix tool and you should be back to square one.
I would post links but I'm on my mobile and I'm not that coordinated.

Are you sure it was a root.rar because that doesn't exist for the t679 and cant be flashed in recovery. Check to make sure you have the t679 not t759 and if you do, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G to return to stock, but make sure to read before doing anything.
Edit: to elaborate on the .rar .tar can be flashed with Odin, but that is NOT for the exhibit 2 the exhibit has .zip made by jocala, .rar i don't think can be flashed any way

Thanks so much. That helped!! It was the T679. The root was a .zip file but as Im not very root suave I must have made a mistake some where in the steps. I think Ill reframe from trying to root my phone in the future. Too many confusing steps.
Now I thought this phone was the easiest to root compared to the G1 and the HTC Espresso. The latter being worse. This is just two steps, flash root, flash recovery. Done unless you want a custom rom, then flash rom & gapps.

Well I have never done a root before and I was really overwhelmed with all the information for rooting it. The forum I was on that provided the root info seemed to be more then just two steps.

That is because there were multiple methods although now only one works after the update to android 2.3.6 this is the easiest phone i have ever rooted although the nexus 7 was also easy. HTC phones are a bit harder to root and much harder to flash anything to.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It doesn't help that with HTC phones to get true root you need to achieve s-off. The locked bootloaders are a pain. I was kind of glad I didn't gave to deal with that with this phone. Although the lack of fast boot means less custom splash screens.

So I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A with Odin but it went wrong somewhere along the way and now the phone won't start up. When I try to start up, the screen says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" But when I tried to recover in Kies, it always gets to the end and then says that the PC can't recognize my mobile device. I can still access download mode but that's about it. I have tried looking EVERYWHERE and there is no solution! someone please help! D:
Also, I found something online that says that I can recover through Odin and I went through the whole process but when I start flashing, it says FAIL so that didn't work for me either
Did you use RDLV on MJ5 to root? If so, that's probably what bricked you.

That just showed off why your phone got bricked. Rooting a phone got some responsibility. Let this be a lesson for you and read before you root. You will need to download the stock firmware and flash this through Odin. I guess you still can enter Download mode?
Wi-Fi Issues
I also need some help here... I did successfully root my note 3, however whenever I install a custom rom such as knoxraid or azure, my wi-fi will not work at all.
The wi-fi will be on from a clean flash, but once I try to connect to any network (I've only tried those with passwords), the wi-fi grays out and I can no longer turn it on or off. I haven't encountered anyone else with the same problem, and I have tried deleting the rom partitions and recreating them.
Disclaimer: I don't have enough posts to post in the dev forums, so that's why I'm posting here. Sorry about that.
Dearest Becky, im so sorry girl..
butchya may be fuct for a lil while let me tell ya why..
This same thing happened to me!!
I looked everywhere for an easy solution BUT THERE IS NONE !! Yet.
The reason why is because there are no easy "Odin back to stock files" yet is because at&t is a fn a-hole and locked the bootloader !!
I brikt my shıt about 4 days after I brought it home from costco.
I combed through the interwebs for the 48 hrs straight like a mad tweaker!! because of course this is our 800 dollar babies we're talking about !!
I kept getting the same error message as you are mentioning about the kies update connect your pc blah and so I tool it back to costco and played dumb and said that I got a notification to update and clicked ok and it did some stuff and "now its stuck on this screen with some error??" .. the lady at the kiosk looked it up and down and said someone else had come in last week with the same error message . LoL !!
I walked out of there with a brand new baby !!
Maybe you can do the same thing? Just hoping you are within your return timeframe.
your last but definitely not last worst case scenerio option is to stick your sim card in another phone and wait till someone from our awesome family here finds away around/through that damn bootloader and drops the beautiful Odin+files to give new birth to your 5.7 beast of an angel !!
Hope this helped in any sort of way. Good luck dear Sister!!
Please let us know how it goes. I think there are many brothers and sisters desperate as F and in ypur same predicament.
This is your best bet.

For anyone Reading this thread for similar issues
What probably happened is she attempted to root de LA Vega method while she was on firmware mj5 rdlv method is based on mi9 and die to this it will soft brick your device.
Unfortunately att diff not release an Odin file for mj5 or even put it on kies.
One of or members figured out how to fiddle with the files we have access to to flash a hybrid of mi9 and mj5
Making it possible to more or less recover from an mj5 brick.
Follow his steps completely and you will wind up with a stock rooted os.
But since this is such an odd way to recover I chose to use kingo to root.
Xda doesn't support kingo dir to hour closed they are in their methods and the fact it is not apparent how they are funding themselves. so you'll have to Google it. It was one of the easiest root methods I've done on a device it installs chainfires su. It is completely removable and I personally believe it is the lest chance of a brick method.
