z4root doesn't work on 2.3.5, and neither does gingerbreak.apk, just as a heads up. If you need to root without USB, you can try what I did.
Download 0 click mizu m9 root (google it, I forget the actual apk name it's kind of annoying to find).
Open the apk and click get r00t, this will take about 5 seconds and you'll get temp root privileges, however if you leave the apk on and reboot it will just auto root on start up.
Then you can download Mobile Odin and flash away

...lol.
If you have USB though, definitely go with the kk4 option posted above, much safer lol.
Interesting this meizu m9 root thingy is......

Perfect until woodoo lag fix zip, now it start with world phone infinitely and no access to recovery that after installed the speedmod I think was great.
What can I do please now possibly without the pc?
Big difficulties to locate m9r00t.apk because removed, if no issue for Meizu I will upload here.
I forgotten to mention that after rooting and installing the special recovery, I changed the rfs in ext4 not sure, thinking that was going to work better!......

You'll have to connect to a PC and use Odin KK4 (without bootloaders) to recover.
From there, you can flash Corn kernel to get custom recovery and root.
Without a working USB though, I'm not so sure how to recover from it.

It helps you get in download mode to then use Odin to flash KK4 without bootloaders.
You need to connect to your PC though.

You can also use the custom CwM that is included with the Corn kernel to install SU and busybox.
See Corn 7 thread in cap devel forum. You do this via odin, after flashing stock kk4.

So what exactly is wrong with your phone right now? is it up and running and you just want to get 2e installed?? or is your phone dead? anyways, easiest way to do it is grab a copy of Odin, then grab a copy of hardcore's speedmod kernel, open odin, put your phone into download mode, plug your phone in, make sure odin finds it, click the pda button, locate the speedmod kernel.tar file and click ok, then click start, it will be very fast and it will flash a new kerel on your phone.
ive been needing to flash 2e recovery too. is it ok to just flash the pda?

Download either hardcores kernel or chainfires cf root kernel flash using odin by putting kernel in pda.
sounds nice and simple. ill do the odin way. op, you can also try the sgs kernal flasher app found in this forum and never touch a computer
1. install sgs kernal flasher
2. flash a kernal which includes 2e
3. ????
4. profit!

still couldnt get odin to work for some reason, its recognised the phone etc but wouldnt do what i wanted it to do, tried doing the sgs kernel app n that worked a treat n ive managed to flash speedmod kernel which has given me the new recovery screen just waiting for the phone to reboot now which is taking a while :/
right now i have a different problem. i have tried to instal darkys and it starts the instal then fails at line 96 any ideas on this at all? thanks for the help its really appreciated
all sorted now cheers guys n thanks alex as your sgs kernel app fixed my issues i was having and ive now installed darkys succesfully n now have a super fast phone again
Well I've found bits on how to use it but no complete guide and I'm having issues. I need to figure out how to use this I'm dying to flash cm7 but not untilled I know what I'm doing at this step. Thank you for all of ur support this site is a life saver
What do you know
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App
Not a whole lot I've done all of my flashing through clockwork, one click Odin and one click root. I saw a video using .tar with PDA but It failed when I tried to flash a kernel as a test. giving me "phone..!..computer" got that figured out but I'm scared to do anything else without some help.
For the purposes of cm7 it is real easy. You open odin. Make sure repartition and autoboot are NOT checked. This is important. Not checked, no repartition no autoboot. You save the kernel tar to your desktop, our wherever you want. Click pda, select kernel. Enter download mode click start. Since auto boot is not checked phone will stay in dl mode. Give out a minute to be safe. Then while in dl mode three button combo to recovery.
If you are on a custom rom already do not flash stock prior to starting. Custom roms have kernels with clockwork so you can skip first step.
That is the jist of it, but please do not attempt flash if you are unsure. The steps are easy but your phone is expensive

well first you need to download the correct ODIN... Here it is:

This Odin will give you the option to input new PDA, PHONE, and others that I believe is necessary to flash CM7.
mcord11758 had good instructions from what I have read on the CM7 thread.
There is a video tutorial on the OP of the CM7... I have not watched it but I'm guessing it is pretty good if they put it in there. Here that is:

Hm seems to be what I did I'm going to hold off on trying again for a little while til its a little more stableanyway thanks.
Are their any Once -Click root programs that would work to root captivate gingerbread kf1?
Not that i know. But use this thread's root method. Don't know if there is an easier one but that one works fine.

to clarify. I put phone in download mode-flash "zImage.tar." unplug phone let it reboot- turn off again-put it in download mode and flash "kernal kf1.tar" wait to reboot- then done?
Download mode. Flash z image. Your phone will bootloop the fugu fish, pull out battery then download mode again and flash KF1 kernel. That should give you root stock KF1.

ive tried so many of all of your roms and cant find the answer for this. i just came back from being on a gingerbread rom (simply honey) and i tried going to toxic music but tokic got stuck for 20 minutes on the bali kernel screen. now i cant get into the recovery option (reinstall packages) so i can root. it wont let me. it says no such file or directory. ive done this about 60 times and never came across this problem. i cant get root access to add other roms. can someone please point me in the right direction...PLEASE!
Wrong place! But gb roms have a diff method for getting into download mode

Yep. This certainly will occur after coming from gingerbread. Load up Odin and flash back to stock, reroot your phone as you normally would. Flash a 2.2 kernel and a 2.2 modem and try to flash. Its seems like you might have some Ginger Ghost left from gingerbread rom and its causing conflict coming back to 2.2 or 2.2.1. Are you able to get in download mode? If so you'll be ok.

go into download mode and odin to stock

you will use same files but different key combination to get into download mode...
That key combination is vol up+power for download mode...at least I'm pretty sure.

that is the problem though. I can get to download mode. I can go back to stock. I can download the root file. I can go to recovery . ....but I can not load it. red typing comea up when I try to reinstall packages and it says It cant install from sd. how can I obtain root if I cant load it from recovery? Can I use odin for your music rom? I just need root. Killing myself trying to figure this out.
Did you put the update.zip on the root of your SD. or in some other file.?
That is also my suspicion. You probably don't have the update.zip in the main directory of your phone's sd card. If its not there, you can simply transfer it back in via usb...
that was it. i had a file called rootupdate.zip and i thought that was the one but i guess it wasnt because nothing was happening. so i looked again in my external sd and still had the original update.zip file, transferred it and it worked. happily rooted again! thank you guys for your help. maby i should delete this thread now.
Instead of rooting JFD and flashing CWM just flash a voodoo+stock kernel. you'll have cwm faster than rooting then getting cwm

cant flash without root
Whenever I tried to install CF - Root (For JVT Firmware) or Speedmod through Odin, it installs but quickly says fail which then leads to the
Phone.....!.... Computer image. For me to fix the issue, I have to re-flash the ROM.
Is there anyway to install Kernels without having Odin to say fail?
I heard on one website that they say it may be Bootloaders that are causing the issues.

I agree on that since I try the connections on my computer and Odin doesn't pick up on COM 1 untill I plug one in a specific USB port it works....
Funny thing is, the connections I haven't had a problem for flashing either JVT through One Click Hemindall or manually on Odin but for Kernel, it always fails.
try that... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899.
You can put kernel on sdcard and flash it this way.

Another question,
Could this be a simpler way to flash the root files or Kernel in?
Go to my Android 3e Recovery and flash them via SD card?
Or is CWM really neeeded to do this?
Again, mentioned by me soft contains CWM ...

Sorry, couldn't understand what you were saying in the last post.
By software you mean CF-Root or the custom kernels?
Sorry for being a noob here....
But those softwares can't be installed VIA Odin, because it pops up FAIL.
