Hi, I currently have a rooted Captivate and I'm running stock firmware on my phone. I have several questions if some could help me out that would be great.
Is it is possible to get the official Froyo update if your phone is rooted?
Also if it isn't possible, if I do a factory reset will it unroot my phone?
My friend was the who rooted my phone for me and I don't recall what he used to root it. So IF I can't get the update while rooted and doing a factory reset doesn't remove the root, how can I unroot my phone and do I need to know the specific way my friend rooted it?
I dont think, root with do anything against upgrading your phone using Keis mini....formatting or deleting any chache wont unroot your phone...
but to be on safer side
Use this to unroot...just put ur phone on debugging by going to settings>>applications>>development>>uSB debugging on
click on the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
download the software as per ur computer (Mac or Windows) Extract it...an plug the phone with computer...and just click unroot...it will do the rest...
i tested with one of my captivates when 2.2 was released.
i rooted and unlocked the phone
then i updated to 2.2 through kies
no problems at all

Will unrooting also remove the custom Clockwork Recovery? If not, does anyone know how to remove it? Thanks!

What do you mean by unlock 2.2? Like a custom Rom?

When you unroot you should not have the option to go into cwr, seeing how you need root permissions to do so.

no. Clockworkrecovery is simply an update.zip on your sdcard and does NOT require root at all, just reboot to recovery and reinstall packages....that will boot you into clockwork

absolutely. clockwork recovery is done without being in the OS....so it does NOT require root access
when you install rom manager on a samsung galaxy s phone, and click on the flash clockwork mod, it puts the update.zip file on the sdcard. once you reboot to regular recovery (3 button), just click reinstall packages, it will reboot back into stock recovery. click reinstall packages again and it will kick you right into clockwork recovery.....has nothing to do with root

but if that is the case then why does my phone always boot into clockwork recovery, even after deleting update.zip? i did flashed it exactly as you said - that option in rom manager and then two times from the stock recovery. but now i can't seem to get rid of it any more.
though i have read that it is included in some kernels? and i did flash serendipity, could that be the reason that i can't get into stock recovery?

thats exactly why...its included with the custom kernel you are running....
and here i thought recovery was part of the bootloader and something that does not (usually) get replaced. if you could explain how these things are separated (i have my theories but i'd love to know how it actually works ) that would be great, otherwise i'm simply relieved that i am still able to have my phone repaired on warranty if i ever have to
I recently got a Incredible S and was considering rooting it. So I went through the topics here and people kept mentioning the option you see on the main menu to "install zip from SD Card".
Just to ensure that I knew everything before I went ahead and rooted, I went to the HBoot screen(volume down and power). My phone was locked(S-ON) and on the screen I could not see any option to "install zip from SD Card". Am I missing something? I am posting a picture of my Hboot screen.
Also something I noticed was that the screen would refresh and automatically run a check to see if any images were present on the sd card. Is this normal?
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but I am confused and just wanted to be sure.
To be able to see that option you require to root, then flash clockwork mod recovery.
Then you will have the modified recovery with that option to flash roms.
1. Root with Revolutionary
2. Flash ClockwordMod Recovery (To find out how to do this go HERE)
Thanks neo, that helps a lot.

Hi Markj338,
You installed the ICS-4.0.3 (incredible S)?
What team?
This version you have installed, has any bug?
thanks.
No? What are you talking about?
I downgraded, s-offed, rooted, and installed recovery, then I flashed a few different roms, before flashing trinity sensation XL as my daily rom
I was going through the [guide] root in development section. Wanted to know what is the difference between the recovery_menu_v1-2.0.0.2 image and CWM Recovery image and why cannot I use the CWM recovery to root device with stock rom.
Thanks

If you are running 2.3.3, then you should be able to use the procedure at Revolutionary.io to gain S-Off and install CWM so you can then flash SuperSU or install a custom rooted ROM

S-Off means you have full access to your phone and can flash custom recoveries and ROMs.
If you don't understand something then I suggest you start searching and reading to gain knowledge and understanding instead of simply asking for links.

Then your phone already has S-Off so all you need to do is check to see if you have a custom recovery. If so, then you are all set to install a custom, rooted ROM.

all right so i have an s off and i dont see any cutom recoveries like (cwm or twrk ) and i cant seem to find any guides on how to install the cwm without a fastboot and an adb shell . is there a way to use odin to install cwm ?
i cant use adb i have tried it before for a few times and it never worked. ....

No you cannot use Odin on a HTC. In order to get adb to work, you need to have the HTC drivers installed which is probably your issue.
There is a way to flash a custom recovery from the Bootloader using a PGIMG32.zip file on the sd card so that is an option that you could search for.

So here you go if at all you have been thru basics -- see if this works (Of Course this is with the fastboot) if you want it this way on second thoughts...
Install HTC Sync, then uninstall it ( you would only want the drivers)
Download Super User - downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Download Clockwork Recovery - download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img
- On your C: drive, create an Android folder
- copy ClockWorkMod recovery and put it in C:/Android
- Put Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip at the root of your SD card
- Put the ADB (fastboot) files in C:/Android
- your files should be as
1 adb.exe
2 AdbWinApi.dll
3 fastboot.exe
Open cmd on your pc/laptop - bring it to C:/Android
You can now type just after the C:/android :
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
Now here it is -
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img
Now install your supeuser - If its required (hope not in your case)
From the bootloader screen, highlight "recovery" and press the power button. The HTC screen comes up for a while, then you're on the ClockWorkMod Interface.
- Volume down to select "install zip from sdcard".
- "choose zip from sdcard"
- Select the SuperUser zip you put on your SD (Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip)
- Reboot your phone.
Check if the above suffice..

fastboot a kernel which has cwm.
what I did is after installing the JyROM, I flashed(it is mentioned in the steps if I want to get root) the flashable version of SuperSU v1.91(I just guessed this version of supersu because it is not mentioned in the steps what version to use, hehe, but luckily, it is fine after rebooting).
then I installed again CWM.
