Hello captivate guys. I couldn't help but notice my wife captivate has superuser but no root. I downloaded titanium backup it couldnt find a root. So my question is why. Is there a permaroot for the captivate. Or can you download SU without a root. She isn't the first owner of this phone. However shortly after buying the phone I did a factory reset on it. I've never seen this before on her phone. I've seen it on mine because I flash coystom rims on my inspire. Any thought would be great thanks.

It seems as if it needs to be rooted again. You can "loose" root.

In that case, if you want it done the completely official way, then use Samsung Kies to connect your phone to PC and update firmware from there directly.
Ah right, there is no ota way of doing it?

I think there is something called kies air in the samsung apps folder that will let you do it over the air

Hey guys I sold my captivate to a friend that lives in NY, and before I shipped it to him it got signal fine, but it won't work for him. He's flashed other roms and modems. Does anyone have any idea

It might be worth letting us know what rom/kernel he's on, as well as what modems he has tried. The more info you can give, the better.
Well he when I sent him the phone he was running the continuum gingerbread with the modem in that version,and the reoriented kernal. The dev section has a lot of new stuff since I had my captivate. I'll get with him and get all the correct info

Have him flash the phone to stock and verify that it works.
Could be the sim card as well.

From looking at the attached thread, it should still be possible to edit the files successfully without an existing backup.

It is the best rooting-tool for firmware up to 1.3*.
Just google it.
It is easy to find and use.
Firmware, do you mean hboot?

Ok, download apk, installed on my wife's desire. Turned on debug and unknown sources. Hit temp root. Get visionary logo and trying to root then screen gose black with notification bar still visible after long time still like this.

This is meant for the desire hd with software version below 1.7xxx. It won't work on the desire at all or the hd if your software is 1.7xxx or above.

You haven't offended anyone here.
You could take a look the guides that allow you to root your device.
That's all. We are all piece of cake.

I have a few questions before I unlock bootloader and install a recovery. The first question is: will unlocking the bootloader erase anything off the phone? Also, will rooting through WCX Recovery.erase anything off the phone? I know that flashing a ROM will erase everything, but I'm just curious. I really don't want to lose anything until I've made a backup with recovery.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Yes for security purposes unlocking the boot loader formats user data. Rooting does not, but in order to flash the recovery you would need an unlocked boot loader.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll see if I can find a way to backup my apps. Any suggestions?

Since you're unrooted, you're probably going to have to rely on Google's cloud backup, which is inconsistent at best.
I don't remember whether MyBackup (Pro?) supports backing up without root or not, but that could be another option.
Think I'll just end up making a list of the apps. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Try appmonster pro.

Appmonster did the trick. I'll probably unlock the bootloader and root on Friday. Thanks guys!

I have one last question. Once I've unlocked the bootloader, and rooted, I don't need to flash a ROM? Probably a dumb question but I want to be safe.

Thats up to you some people like stock others like pre customized ones.
Can you recommend some? I want to try RumFloat or the De-Sensed ROM.

Where we are now in ROM development, I can safely say that if you want Sense, Telstra stock is more than good enough (as it includes WiFi tethering out of the box, no modification, and can have DSPManager put on it). I've heard good things about WCX Generic, but I've never been a huge fan of WC's ROMs. If you don't like Sense, try DeSensed.
I'm running 4.0.3ics stock with kozmikkernel .I'm just waiting for s-off.

I like sense enough to stick with it for a while, but I'm on AT&T. Will the Telstra stock still work?

I will try. First of all if you have plans on installing custom ROMs on the HTC One you will need to read guides and tutorials. I said that because I owned a Xperia Z and I found that it's a lot easier to modify. HTC needs to have a unlocked bootloader before you can root it or flash any custom ROM.
You can start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2119 in that section you will find guides and tutorials. This one a very very handy guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
If there's anything more specific you like to know just ask away and a lot forum members will be glad to help and voice their opinion.
I advice to stay stock, and when you've read and learn guide and how to mod the one, you can change rom, flash rom and other
I'm not a big fan of unlocking boot loader I thought I would stick to stock are there any problems or bugs one should be aware of?

Without root is nice, with root and custom rom/kernel, is awesome.
