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

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...
Obviously possible but I am trying to root my buddies CAptivate and NOTHING is working. What am I missing. TRied z4, cant use because AT&T blocks 3rd arty installs, tried superone click and does nothing, tried the other one click and it sits on the little blue screen saying my phone should be rebooting but my phone just sits there ? Tried the "update.zip" method and tells me "bad E-siganture"
can someone please HELP!!!

Thank you. I finally got this to work as far as I have the Super User app installed on the phone. I thought if I had this then the phone is def rooted yet when I try to delete ATT bloat ware it still won't let me.
Is this only because its still running the factory 2.2 froyo. Will the full SU benefits be there one I flash whatever ROM he wants on Monday ?
And what is the best rom for the cap ? I have the Eris running a GB rom that I love but I'm sure this phone is different
go to the market, download titanium backup. use that to uninstall, unwanted bloat...you cannot use the native package installer/uninstaller to remove system apps.

My personal preference... Firefly.
The Gingerbread ROMs are still Beta.
ok i have to agree... firefly...
Thanks all. I don't think it's going to matter since when I reboot into recovery I do not have the option to "flash zip from sd card". I got it rooted, installed rom manager and flashed clockwork but to no avail. This all seemed to go so smoothly when I did our eris phones.
I have his "wireless tether" working and was able to delete a ton of ATT bloatware but I think he's going to stuck with the stock ATT 2.2 ota rom.

As you have already been told in this thread you need to make sure you have modified your 3e recovery to allow cwm to work.

Check out TRusello's signature "3e recovery fix" also after you boot into recovery from rom manager you have to "reinstall packages" twice, then you will see all the options...

you need to reinstall packages in recovery twice.
also you need the to fix 3e recovery before you can flash the cwm .zip.
look @ the stickies in the general section. there is a thread on working around 3e recovery. it contains a link to a batch script that'll fix it
there is also odin(tethered) that can replace the kernel with one that has cwm baked in
and sgs kernel flasher in the market that can do the same from the phone as long as it's rooted.

Hi all,
Sorry if i sound stupid, but I am new to all of this. I am trying to flash a gingerbread ROM onto my Rogers branded captivate. Currently I am running Rogers stock Froyo.
I have rooted and unlocked my phone using one click root, and the SGS unlock tool from the android market. I have also applied Ryans OCLF. I have busybox installed and the lasted version of Rom Manager.
However, every time i go to backup my stock rom using rom manager, nothing happens. I try to first flash the Clockwork Mod recovery, select the Captivate file and let the phone reboot, black screen with a yellow exclamation point in a white triangle with a Droid device laying under it. It will sit there forever until I manually restart the phone, at which point it acts fine.
I have backed up using titanium backup but cannot do it thru ROM manager. I have read countless forums, but it havent found a solution that works.
So i decided to proceed without a backup. I tryed to put the phone in download mode using the buttons so that I can flash it using ODIN but it doesnt go into download mode using any of the buttom press methods. I have tried to reinstall the packages from the boot menu, but i then get an error saying "e: failed to verify whole signature...."
I have also put a copy of the recently leaked gingerbread rom on my SD card and tried to install the ROM using rom managers install ROM from SD card, but i get the same black screen with yellow exclamation point and nothing happens until i maually start the phone.
I have no clue what I am missing? How to fix this? I have read and watched so many tutorials, followed all the steps. THey seem so easy on paper, but nothing that is supposed to happen, happens for me. Anyone have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
Please help!!
You need to follow installation instructions in the thread for whatever GB rom you are installing TO THE LETTER.
Which one are you trying?
You need to search for fixing the 3e recovery. 3e won't let you install custom roms. Also rom manager is just a gui interface for clockwork mod so in. wouldn't use it

I was trying to install the Official Gingerbread 2.3.3 for Captivate that was just leaked for the ATT captivate. I beleive the build number is I897UCKF1.
I do remember seeing the 3e recovery in the boot menu. Thanks alot, I will try to find a recovery fix and try that, then post the update.
Thanks alot for the suggestions so far. Its greatly appreciated!

Your absolutely right, I did ALOT of reading, been doing so alot over a few weeks. Unfortunately, (or perhaps, I did not do enough digging) none of the tutorials, even the ones for beginners that i found on this forum mentioned anything about finding a fix for the 3e recovery. No one mentioned that the 3e Recovery bundled with the Rogers version of Froyo did not allow the install of custom roms, it also did not allow backups. Thanks to Crystalhand for letting me know this.
Anyway i found this link which helped:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
I am FINALLY able to make a full backup image of my stock ROM and apps using CWM. This puts me more at ease now knowing i can also revert to stock if i install a rom that is not working properly for me.
The backup is completing as I type this. I will update again once I am able to install the gingerbread Rom I wanted to install.
Thanks again to all of you for the help!
that backup is not to restore the stock rom directly from whatever you flash. that is an imaage of your set up on stock rom. so you have to use odin to flash back to that stock rom you are on then restore that backup and it will be like you never flashed anything at all. if you just restore that backup onto the custom rom you flash it will not work properly.
the app backup your making with titanium backup will restore your apps on whatever you flash, but the rom backup doesnt work like that.
I would suggest using designgears odin 1 click, becuase no offence but you seen new and that would be least likely way for you to hard brick going to gb... Good luck

Flashing is usually easy and safe (for the most part). But if something happends and it gets bricked u could always make/buy jigs. Easiest way to make I've seen is

Or you can buy them for about $8 maybe more depending your location (making em can cost less). The only thing I haven't tested the jig with is messed up bootloaders, example flashing gb bootloaders and flash froyo secundaries, everything else the jig works (atleast my experience)

Okay, I have no idea why, but my phone doesn't seem to like any ROM except for the stock. Every ROM, every update I've tried, has just gone and bricked my phone. I'm a newbie as far as development goes, but I do know my way around flashing, applying updates from SD and stuff. And I'm careful not to mess with files designed for the other ace. I also follow instructions to the letter. I'm as scared of bricks as anyone else.
So I was wondering whether any of you could help me out here. Do tell me if it's better to stick with the stock ROM though. Awaiting a reply.
Cheers

Well firstly ask why yourself why you want to flash a particular custom ROM? Does it have features you need etc? If not then stock is fine and there are many ways alter the appearance of your phone without flashing a new custom ROM via apps in the play store.
As always prior to flashing a custom ROM make sure you have all the tools and knowledge to flash back to stock if anything goes wrong. OK so by the sounds of it you have installed RB,s kernel but have not installed IDroid ROM, tell us how you tried to flash and that will give us more of an idea where you are going wrong.

Why the custom ROM: I was told by a friend (who uses a Galaxy Y) to use one, so as to make the phone less laggy. And I like to have my devices looking a little different from what everyone uses. Pardon me
EDIT: And yes, I do have the firmware required to flash back, as well as Odin. I've flashed before, so you could say I'm not a total waste there And I seem to have trouble understanding the difference between ROM and kernel.... could you please explain it to me? At least I'll know where I'm going wrong.

The standard procedure I follow:
1. Download the flashable zip to my phone SD card.
2. Reboot into stock recovery, enter clockworkmod through its zip file
3. Backup just in case, install the zip through cwm or stock recovery, whichever the dev advises
4. Reboot
Update: managed to get RazoDroid working. Firmware XXLD2, Rafael Baugis kernel (obviously, duh ) and no problems so far!
Just because you're probably not following the instructions correctly doesn't mean it's the developer's fault, and that you should be 'disappointed'.
True. I do my best to follow instructions, but I may have overlooked something somewhere. And no, I'm not blaming any devs, not intentionally anyway, because I don't have any rights to.... At the end of the day, I did manage to make something work, and now I'm happy with it, so all I can say is peace out

The I9000UKG3 is your modem(baseband), not your ROM (firmware), so don't worry about that. As long as you have signal, you're fine.
Before flashing a Jb ROM, do you factory reset, clear cache/dalvik? Is the screen problem right at the start? Do you restore your apps?
Do you have the I9000 bootloaders or the I897 bootloaders?

Ok, We'll start from the beginning then, You can get in download mode right?
Grab Odin KK4 without bootloaders, Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and put the ROM (and Gapps) you wanna flash in the root of your internal SD. Flash KK4, boot up and make sure everything is fine. Once that's done, get back in download and flash Corn kernel.
From there, you can flash the ROM and the Gapps that go with it.
I believe you went through those steps already but hopefully we can find what's wrong by re-trying/reproducing the problem. Oh and don't restore any apps before trying it.
If that doesn't work, I'm thinking you might have the wrong Gapps or wrong bootloaders but first time I hear of a screen that doesn't work on JB but does on GB.
EDIT:
I just went through the thread to see that you already have KK4 and Corn on your phone. You don't need DesignGear to root, you can go in Corn's recovery to root your phone. Now, after re-reading, you said that sometimes it's iresponsive, what exactly do you mean by that? it takes a while to register your touch? locks up and you get no response for a few seconds?
Usually that's from lack of free ram. So a app sucking it all up. Have you tried JB (with the right Gapps) without restoring your apps?
PS.: You shouldn't restore your app with TiBu coming from GB, you can restore their data but should fresh download the apps from the market.

Grab Odin KK4 without bootloaders, Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and put the ROM (and Gapps) you wanna flash in the root of your internal SD. Flash KK4, boot up and make sure everything is fine. Once that's done, get back in download and flash Corn kernel.
From there, you can flash the ROM and the Gapps that go with it.
I believe you went through those steps already but hopefully we can find what's wrong by re-trying/reproducing the problem. Oh and don't restore any apps before trying it.
If that doesn't work, I'm thinking you might have the wrong Gapps or wrong bootloaders but first time I hear of a screen that doesn't work on JB but does on GB.
EDIT:
I just went through the thread to see that you already have KK4 and Corn on your phone. You don't need DesignGear to root, you can go in Corn's recovery to root your phone. Now, after re-reading, you said that sometimes it's iresponsive, what exactly do you mean by that? it takes a while to register your touch? locks up and you get no response for a few seconds?
Usually that's from lack of free ram. So a app sucking it all up. Have you tried JB (with the right Gapps) without restoring your apps?
PS.: You shouldn't restore your app with TiBu coming from GB, you can restore their data but should fresh download the apps from the market.

All right, im gonna flash aokp_captivatemtd_jb_milestone-1.zip with gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip, so, Turn off phone, enter cwm, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, flash aokp, flash gapps, fix permission and thats it right?
EDIT: I dont want to restore apps, i just want jb or ics, without that screen fail, the problem is that when i touch, it doesnt respond at all, but then 5 min later its works and then fail again, but just with the left side of the sceern....

Sounds good. Quite often you don't need to fix permission, I never had to do it.
If screen fails again, I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue.

Usually when you boot the phone, it shows SGH-897 but it doesn't matter, I could be wrong.
As for the hardware issue, just like some Sleep of Death (SoD) issue, it's something that a software can't fix, it's something broken within the phone (hardware). I don't know if it's the case here but it's always a possibility, especially if the phone was dropped before, the screen connector might need to be pushed back into place.

You can get Odin KK4 with bootloaders. There's a risk of bricking your phone when you flash bootloaders though. There are needed to be on ROMs that are GB and up but I think you already have them.
As for the hardware thing, like I mentioned before, it could be like SoDs, where the phone will randomly shut off when you're using a ISC/JB ROM.
