Hi, first time poster although I've been lurking around xda for years. Anyway I rooted my htc one and generally it works well. I have encountered a few problems though and would be extremely greatful for any assistance. Googling hasn't given me any proper solutions yet. So here we go
1. After rooting I no longer have access to MTP so I can't transfer files
2. Busybox does not seem to want to install. It either resets my phone or says it hasn't been installed
3. I tried to uninstall the drivers for my phone but when I do my device manager becomes non responsive

Hello, i just got my first smartphone, i have AT&T and i didnt want an iphone and was more drawn toward andriod, so i got a captivate. I would really like to do alot of the things in the "Pimp my captivate" guide but i have some questions first.
1.) If i root the phone, and take off the bloatware, will i still get updates if i go to the check for updates in settings? (ex. like the gps fix and froyo update someday).
2.) Its not going to subtract any features from the phone is it ? (ex. the google syncing and everything will still work? Basically is the rooting process and or bloatware removal going to change the way the phone works besides the programs those being gone?
Ill admit i'm an andriod phone hacking noob, but i do know computers well and programming and have altered other devices in the past.

Since no updates have come down yet, I don't think anyone is sure of the answer to this. Keep in mind that it's a good idea to make backups of the app APKs on your sdcard before you remove them (just in case you want to reinstall them).

Removing AT&T's crappy apps won't affect the phone negatively at all. They simply won't be there, so you can't use them (if you find them useful). The only app that I can think of you may want to keep is the AT&T Hot Spots app so you phone can use free AT&T wifi at locations such as Starbucks.
Yes, you will still get updates as long as you do not install a custom ROM. (Rooting is ok).
The only functionality that will be removed will be that of the apps you delete
Thank you so much this clears up alot of the things I've been wondering.

Rooting issues
I have tried everything I have found online. The superuser icon is there. I have downloaded several apps that require the device to be rooted. I turned on usb debugging, and turned it off. I've downloaded update.zip several times.
I'm not entirely a noob when it comes to tweaking phones. I flashed roms on windows mobile and performed all sorts of modifications I got off this site.
I have the superuser icon. I downloaded titanium. Titanium says it installed busybox. I downloaded the separate busybox app from the market. That app has a popup saying that a nand unlock is necessary for the app to work. When I run it in spite of the popup, it says the device is rooted, but can't find busybox. A whoami command in adb will indicate that I'm not. I went though adb to reinstall busybox. But whenever I try to run any significant commands (eg su) it gives me a permission denied error. Googling permission denied gives me a myraid of possible causes, but it seems I'm getting far afield. I just want to get rid of the bloatware for now.
Is there another program to root this thing? Did I just miss something incredibly obvious?

You shouldn't ever need to unless you are installing a ROM that requires it. the Dalvik Cache is the Java VM that Android Runs on and it does a very good job of keeping itself cleared. It does lots of Garbage collection on its own.
gotcha! thank you
I just tried running the one click method. I had USB debugging enabled, upgraded to the latest drivers, and ran the exe. Everything said it was successful, I rebooted again, and installed Titanium Backup, and it's telling me it was unable to access root. What gives?
Do you see Superuser on your phone? Doesn't sound like the one click was successful, did you use a Mac? The one click was broken earlier for Macs, seems to work now though.

I would manually type the root method into adb, then use the one click app to automatically push su and stuff to the phone. That seemed to work really well for me.

Thanks for both of your suggestions. For whatever reason, doing a second reboot on the phone seemed to work. I noticed SU was indeed installed, but TB wasn't finding root. After the 2nd reboot poof TB found root and all is well. Admin can close/lock this thread or I guess keep it open if others happen to have issues with One-Click to consolidate some threads. From what I've been reading one click is damn near bulletproof though.
Hey All !
I have a HTC One and I'm fairly a fanatic about conserving battery life so much so I used to be quite happy when I got 2 days out of it when it was first purchased, after the Android 4.2 update it went down although after scouring the internet I managed to bring it up with some good tips and tricks. I've recently looked into rooting and I took the plunge after I was convinced by the benefits although I would seem to have run into a problem of a weird sort !
I followed a video which showed me how to unlocked the bootloader and root the HTC One and It worked with the SU application showing my phone was rooted, I took the liberty of downloading a custom ROM and after downloading a few root applications, I've been getting notifications from some saying my phone has to be rooted and the app seizes to work. I've downloaded arious root checking apps and out of 5 apps which were downloaded, only 1 said my phone was rooted. I'm quite confused as I downloaded an app called "Greenify" when my phone wasn't rooted and it wouldn't work and now I downloaded it and it actually works ! I downloaded Titanium Backup and that wouldn't work along with a host of others asking for root permission.
I was wondering if anyone could be kind enough to tell me what to in order to remedy this, if not can someone advise on how to delete the ROM so I'm working with just a stock version of sense WITH root capabilities (before ROM installation)
Thanks !
Hi all, I have an AT&T galaxy tab SGH-I987 with froyo 2.2. I have managed to root the device using super one click root. However, now I am trying to follow the Overcome installation guide. I downloaded all the files from the forums here. When I try to install the bootloader patch apk , I get the message install blocked, (your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from android market). I have tried apk installers, but none seem to work, i have gone to settings and checked the developer mode option, but it does not have an option to allow installation of unknown files. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading forums for days trying to find a working solution to this. Thanks in advance
fixed
sorry for the wasted forum space, I finally overcame this problem using the super wonder machine program to install the app, worked great
Hello. I found a Polaris office 5 link which will work with rooted devices http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611723. Installed as a systems app. I'm rooted, locked BL. After flashing in TWRP it will be there. Trying to open it gives the unfortunately app has stopped message. Looking to clear data in apps it shows no data at all. I go to root explorer find the apk, run in, install new and whamo - works great, no watermark, nothing. However, this is where the problem is, once I restart phone it is back to being uninstalled. It's still in system apps and libs are still there, permission are set. I'm not sure if I missed something. Followed the directions. Searched all over. Is this something to do with being rooted but still having a locked BL? If anyone knows the reason I know where the thank you button is.
