[Q] Need help rooting Samsung Captivate running GB - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I need help rooting my Samsung Captivate running Gingerbread 2.3.3 I896UXKH2
I did before, but then I went overseas, and I need to unlock the phone. For me to unlock it, I need to put it back on stock, and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133 method and it works.
Now I tried to root it again using SuperOneClick 2.3.3, but it doesn't seems to be working.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Is it easier if I'm running stock or Froyo?

After that, I will need to install superuser and cwm seperately?

You could flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 for both root and cwm

Hey martin.y,
If u r just wanting to flash a Developer's Rom in the end...then just use TRussello's guide in the Q & A Forum. It is a stickied thread. Or simply do as BWolf56 stated above---Flash the KK4 Corn Kernel (.tar file version) through Odin3 v1.85 or similar (the kernel.tar goes in the PDA slot). Of course u should know that u r flashing that kernel from Download mode. Takes less than a couple minutes for the whole process. Reboot into the CWM Recovery that is included in the Corn Kernel and select to install ur Rom of choice that u should already have copied onto ur phone's internal sdcard. And prest-o change-o ! New Rom.
Or as BWolf56 stated above also, u can simply get Root through the CWM advanced menu options of the Corn Kernel. :good:

OCLF for 2.2

Does anyone know if the dev of this app is working on an update to make it compatible with 2.2?
I have found this the easiest way to root and lag fix my phone without going through odin and would prefer to use the app rather than any other method.
it works on 2.2 . install the EXT2 tools first then restart the app and select root 2.2
worked on my SGS using tayatumas 2.2 build ( typo?)

All buttons are red except for "Check available memory"

Have you rooted your phone? What version of the 2.2 firmware are you running? OCLF worked for me on ZUJP2 and XXJPM builds of froyo.
Im in the same boat, I can't seem to root ethier, anyone know of an easy root method without using odin?

Oclf can only root 2.2 if the kernel has recovery 2. With you have to use an custom kernel/Rom.

No I'm not rooted yet. I was hoping to use oclf as its easier to unroot if needed. I'm running official jpm 2.2

No its in kernel 2 or dome custom kernel.
You need to flash a kernel with recovery 2 in it.

Or after rooting, you could also just grab it from the market by searching for "ryanza".
Odin is really easy to use if you just follow the instructions.

It work!
Thank you very much!
For others 'n00b' that want to install only a custom kernel...
Use Odin, flash kernel (a .tar file with inside "zImage") use PDA.
After reboot, wait a long.

Best root method

Want to root this phone for my bro. Anyone here know a one click. I was browsing here and it said it was for froyo not gingerbread. He's on stock gingerbread and I want root so I can install ROM manager. Thanks in advance.

Even if you follow the threads linked above, you arent going to get very far with ROM Manager. they havent supported the captivate since it was on 2.1 eclair I believe. Learn to use ODIN.

I know how to use Odin I just couldn't find a thread to Odin cwm

-_- OMG I tried to be nice. You don't ODIN CWM. You ODIN a kernel that contains CWM injected into the kernel itself. I recommend CORN kernel and KK4 custom or stock ROM

I recommend you do a lot more reading of the resources available throughout the Captivate section before flashing anything, with ODIN or without.

Installing cwm running 2.3.6

Hi all, Bit of a noob regarding the note...Struggling to find an easy way to install clockwork mod on a gingerbread note...have already managed it on ics but lost wifi and decided to revert back to gb....tried searching on the forums and even tried dr ketan's method flashing the cf kernel and thought i'd bricked it(squeaky bum time!!!) but managed to get it back using pc odin(phew)
I am rooted on baseband xxla4 with kernel xxla6. your help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd recommend you flash throught mobile odin the k2 speedmod kernel. You can use the tar file for that. Its good kernel on gb, very battery efficient and has cwm in it.
You can also flash cf kernel, just unzip it first with mobile odin.
You can also use ktool to flash tar files
note: in cwm on speedmod I think internal and external sd could be switched. Other then that its awesome

Great stuff, used to have a desire, great phone for flashing. Since getting this note I'm walking on eggshells trying not to brick it. Again cheers

Find link on my signature for 'pre rooted' ROM
And flash that rom with odin, at end you will have gb rom + root +cwm
Later you can update any gb rom using cwm

Thanks 4-2,
Second question......Do I need to go back to stock gingerbread before flashing 4.0.4 - ICS - AoCP CP 2.1 - The Collective or can I flash over top after wiping davlik and cache , partitions???
Im running Mosiac XI now
U should be able to just follow the install instructions in the OP of the ICS 4.0.4 AoCP CP 2.1 Rom and be good to go. (This is an excellent ICS Rom by the Collective, btw.)
...U could flash back to Stock KK4 if u want the i897 GB Bootloaders...since u may have i9000 GB Bootloaders being on Mosaic IX ?? Up to u though.

Again many Thanks 4-2, I figured Id give the collective first shot with ICS since Mosaic was one of the best Roms Ive flashed.
Guess I'll be flashing it tomorrow.
Good call !! :thumbup:

Ok , flash failed....Status 7 error. Any Ideas???
^
Not sure why u got that error. No one has reported that in the AoCP CP 2.1 ICS 4.0.4 thread.
From reading around, it has something to do with the updater script etc.
Anyway, i suggest u do two things. Get into the cwm recovery u have now and then mount usb and copy a fresh download of the Rom to ur phone. Then copy this kernel.zip that is just the kernel from CP 2.1 release...posted here--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30523384 . Install that kernel through ur current cwm 1st. Then reboot to that cwm recovery and flash the rom again. Be sure to do the wipes etc. that r posted in that Roms OP.
And be sure to eject ur phone from the pc the correct way...see this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29998391.
edit: search "status 7 error" in the Search This Forum tab of this Q & A Forum...search Show Posts. There u will find a lot of helpful info.

Ok, downloaded the new kernel and redid the wipes and flashed the rom again , then reflashed just for good measure. Rebooted and it went right back to revovery and does every time I rebooted. Tried flashing back to Mosaic but that flash failed Staus 0 message. So after playing with it a while I decided to flash another Rom. Again , did all the wipes and flashed HellyBean ....Rebooted right back to recovery again , I'm at a loss...Anyone??? And yes I thought about using odin and going back to stock but Odin won't recognize my phone...Windows does , ADB does but not Odin
When initially going to an ICS Rom from a Stock Rom u will have to flash it twice. First from the cwm that u had from where u started and then second from the next cwm recovery that loads. ---- So when the recovery boots back, just select to install the Rom again. ---- It should load the Rom on that second install.
