Hey everyone, I just recently got a Samsung Captivate with Rogers, which is the i896.
I've been hearing a lot about rooting lately and i'm starting to understand a little more about what it is exactly. I'm interested in the idea that it can help speed up the phone and allow for more apps, but I have a few questions.
1) Where can I find the most recent way to root a ROGERS Captivate? I was reading around and read that the "One click fix" does not work anymore
2) Will rooting my phone change the interface of the phone?
3) If something goes wrong and my phone doesn't root, can I go back to the default settings easily?
I might have more questions later on but thats it for now. I'd just also like to hear your opinions on rooting and what exactly YOU have been able to do with your phone by rooting.
Thanks!
welcome ill answer your qs first then ill give you some links to help you out
A)rooting and flashing roms (2 diff things) are easiest done from STOCK 2.1 (which you should have) if you plan on flashing custom roms DONT do the rogers/samsung keis firmware update. it changes the recovery to 3e. (ink below if needed)
B) rooting does not change the interface. ROMS DO
C) if you cant successfully root, nothing has changed. you should be able to tho. and you can UNROOT, and wipe to factory too. for warranty repairs and they will never know.
OPPINION:
custom roms are the way to go, more current, full featured complete and on time, cutomizable, fun, and brain-power using than stock roms.
MY ADVICE: DO IT but TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ. I READ FOR 3 or 4 days before i touched a thing!! and still had very minor issues and things that had to be ironed out. dont let that scare you. its a learning experience. hopefully with the links i give you you will have less SEARCHING TO DO. but you my freind, are in the right fourm and right section, too! i have a good feeling about you already!
YOU CAN DO IT WATERBOY!!!

oh and it took me forever to learn that there is an ODIN one-click, and an Odin3 1.7, both flashing programs but DIFFERENT, we can use ODIN one-click but not recomended it flashes AT&T stock back. ALSO not to be confused with one-click ROOT,,,
Typically its best to read around but you can use the following for rooting and unrooting
It doesn't change the interface

I used it, no issues and now with a new ROM as well - you will stumble on many thing but this site has everything but u need to read a bit
Hey there, the rogers captivate is the same as the at&t captivate. I found a rogers phone in the snow, wiped, rooted and unlocked it. Installed at&t firmware and then flashed serendipity. I'm using it on telus no problem. Everything in this captivate forum will work great.

First of all, thank you guys so much for giving me real replies instead of a bunch of "Go read for yourself" or "try the search button" lol... I've been doing some reading but I needed to ask a few direct questions.
@Trusselo, i'm not too ignorant to computers. I know my way around a computer and used to do some web design and basic coding so i'm somewhat okay.
My only concern is that once i've rooted my phone, I have to use some sort of unix/linux commands to work around my phone and do things? Is this true? Also, I read that the rooted version has a different keyboard? I still have a hard time getting used to this touchscreen board.
SIDE QUESTION ABOUT CAPTIVATE AND WIFI: This is my biggest problem right now, its actually a small problem but it gets annoying. Basically, my WiFi stays connected when i'm at home but sometimes it seems like it slows done or the connection lags or even stops working. I can usually tell if this is happening because pages don't load fast enough in the browser or don't load at all. While this is happening, my wifi connection still says "Connected" though. I always have to go back, disconnect, re-type my password, connect again. Then I go back and it works fine. Is there any way to fix this?

Just rooting the phone does not change the interface at all. Rooting just allows you access to the locked system files so you can change them.
Also you won't have to use terminal commands to do hardly anything, but it would be a good practice to learn how to use it.
From there you can change your keyboard if you like. There are a few keyboards out there that are better than the stock keyboard is, as far a functionality.
Be warned once you get onto flashing and modding your phone, its like an addiction, and you probably wont be able to stop.

Ya, but no one called the phone. The screen was locked and I couldn't get into the phone. I think it was outside for a while, reported lost and deactivated.

i really hope that you didnt think i was accusing you of not being good with computers or being patronizing, i was just trying to provide you (or anyone else that reads this) with as much info as i could, while not doing the work for you.
terminal commands: ive never had to use them, no adb shell, no terminal emulator on phone, although it wouldnt be outside of my skill, i just prefer to do it without learning something i dont need to. (yet.. still thinking about learning some apping)
keyboard: rooting does not change any part of the UI at all, all rooting does is allow you to access (read / write / copy /delete) protected system files. And you can only do those scary things with use of other root apps after rooting your phone.
wifi: this is why some people flash new modems, if you still have issues and really want to send it back for warranty, dont worry, you can have it back good as new in no time!
Not too sure what you mean by flash new modems... ? And I wasn't accusing you of anything lol. Just letting you know that i'm not 100% dumb when it comes to computer but even then I don't know if I would be ready to use typed commands and stuff to use my phone.

The modem is simply what the phone uses for connectivity. It is a separate piece of the firmware that can be flashed on its own. It is a topic that is a little beyond the scope of this post. However, there is a stickied thread in the Captivate development forum called 'the modem thread' that outlines a lot of the information. The main reason many people do this change is that some experience better connectivity, lower battery consumption, and some other benefits. Again modems are beyond the scope of this post, so I encourage you to read that sticky, as there can be some pitfalls to changing modems. Best of luck and enjoy the great phone!
Oh okay thank you. I thought you meant I would have to take my phone back and get a new one. The WiFi works fine, its just that I have to disconnect, enter my wifi password, then reconnect sometimes for it to work properly.
Do you mean that the WiFi is something that can be changed after the phone is rooted to work better?
Can't say for sure, but it's always worth rooting anyway.

Since Thursday morning I have been having issues with my Droid Bionic after Verizon did the OTA update to Android 4.0.4 System version 6.7.246.
The initial problem was that after the OTA installed my phone was bricked. After many attempts to bring it back and my bosses being rather unhappy that I no longer had a phone I went through the warranty/insurance and they sent me a new phone the next day. Now I of course need to root it. I have tried all the Razor's Edge based roots I could find on both a 32 and 64 bit Win 7 system with the latest drivers as found on the Motorola website. The Razor's Edge systems (ADB.exe specifically) don't seem to find my device so they don't move forward (Figured that out by copying out the individual commands from the Batch file to see where it stops). I just tried downloading and using the Motofail on these forums and after downloading it says that it won't run on my system.
Has anyone else been having these kind of issues when you updated OTA or have been trying to root? I do know when I talked to Verizon the rep had said she had already covered two calls about odd behavior after the update. I find it very funny though that I haven't had such issues when I upgraded my Nook Color to ICS.

Ok I just want to make sure I am on the right page. The House of Bionic method will push out an update to 246 which already includes root access? Rereading my previous post I realize I may not have made it clear that with the replacement phone the OTA update did work so I am on 246.
I could not get Razor's Edge to work on my new laptop(W7 64bit) but Motofail worked perfectly. Have you tried it?

Not yet. I know I had issues downloading it and when I tried to run it I was informed that it wouldn't run on my computer but that was only on the 32 bit computer so I have yet to head back home and try on a 64bit. Also I am not 100% sure of a good download location, I seem to remember hitting a lot of incorrect ones including one from the developer that said it was a defunct method.
As I said for this rooting my luck has been a whole lot of bad.
I downloaded from the Motofail thread.

This worked great for me. Had to update the moto drivers first then downloaded and ran the motofail-ics. I have been searching the forums here and other areas. Never realized how much I was spoiled with root until the ics ota took it from me! =( lol. Thank you all for the postings, comments, and feed back. It help to make re-rooting loads easier for me!¡!¡ :thumbup:

Bionic after updates goes back to previous owners account
Hello, not sure if I'm posting in the correct place but I need some help. I purchased my bionic on ebay about a year ago. My service is through pageplus. After receiving updates the phone reverts back to the previous owners info and will not work for me. I then have to have it flashed, which has been done 4 times now. Last night was the most recent. Everything is working for me fine but when I look at about phone and status its still showing the previous owners phone no. and min. but when dial the program codes it shows my no and min. Can I fix this and how can I get it to stop reverting back..

I am so sorry to read that this is happening. I am not 100% sure but it sounds to me like the phone was never de-registered after it was activated with your current service. I would think that doing a system restore back to stock and then going through the motions of re-registering the phone to your account and service provider may work. The only other thing I am able to think of is that it may have been rooted to the original owner and they never un-rooted it and de-registered prior to selling it.
Hope this gives a better idea or maybe some one else whom knows more then I will respond.
Gl,

Hi,
:crying: unfortunately, I have lost my S3 yesterday, and am trying desperately to find it.
before it was lost, I have already enabled in the phone remote access, so I was able to track it via find my device in Samsung website, I was also able to find it via android device manager. But since it was gone, I regularly try to find it but it says it's offline. the strarange thing is that a friend of mine have observed that someone has accessed to my Whatsapp account today, but after that when I have checked samsung website to locate it, it steal offline.
any thing that I can do please ?

No no no.
go to play store, and remotely install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb
I can't seem to find a fix anywhere for this. There have been issues with older phones having this problem, and there's usually a wifi module you can flash that fixes it, or a terminal command.
I have an 802.1x network (hidden SSID) at work that I was able to connect to until last week. I talked to IT about it, and naturally, the iPhones don't have any issues connecting, so it "works". For me, it just says "Connecting", then quits. It'll loop a few times and nothing. The server isn't even generating an event that I'm trying to connect at all, so it seems to be a problem even getting a handshake with the AP.
Anyone have this problem with the Note 4 and know how to fix it?

No, it started happening after using an older version of the ROM for several months with no issues. I did a complete wipe and installed the new version to see if that would fix it, but it didn't.
Only thing I can say is try flashing a stock rom and see if issue goes away. U can also ask the Dev if he mod anything to affect that. Also make sure smart switching is off
BAD ASS NOTE 4
I remember having this happen once on my home network. Wasn't with the note 4 as this was maybe a few years ago. Regardless, the issue was with the network and a complete power cycle of all my network devices cleared the issue for short periods. A complete reset up of the network was needed. Not sure what changed with everything locked down, but reused the same SSID and no trouble. All same setting as before.
I remember the same frustration as I had an Xbox, ps3, windows and Mac computers and other users with iPhone/ipads with no trouble. Was just my samsung
android device.
I am not sure why, but my android phones from Samsung have always been picky as can be with WiFi. They always have far worse signal than almost any other device I own and do some weird stuff sometimes. I've had the SIII, Note 2, 3, and 4.
I've had more generations of apple phones than Samsung phones and never the same amount of WiFi issues from apple. Not sure what the deal is, just something I've come to take for granted.

Ok, where do I start?
My last phone was a Galaxy IIIs. Rooted it and installed "The Peoples Rom". Had very few problems with it and used it like that for 4+ years.
So finally I get a new phone, Note 4, Rooted it and have kept it stock. I have had so many problems with this phone. Its just HORRIBLE. I dont know if its the stock rom that sucks, or the phone. I used Apex launcher pro, maybe its that. IDK.
When I bought this note, I bought 2 others, one for my son and one for my daughter. have left them alone, no mods. They dont seem to have the problems I do either. My WiFi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, which really pisses me off because I constantly use the phone to control my chromecast. I will be watching something, doesnt matter if its Youtube, Netflix, Videostream, whatever, when I grab my phone again to click "play next episode" or whatever reason, the wifi has disconnected and reconnected but it screws up my chromecast connection and I have to try to reconnect to it, which usually screws up the queue, or play next episode, just whatever the hell it is, I have to force close, reconnect, and go through so much BS its ridiculous. It will also just turn off by itself and I have to turn it back on, even though I have it set to NEVER turn off, sleeping or whatever.. Uhg. When it turns off, its usually in the morning when I first grab it, I notice its off, and have to toggle it on. And sometimes I notice it has turned off when I get home from running around town.
I have data turned off. I dont use cell data AT ALL, ever. I also have WiFi settings set to never sleep, choose best signal unchecked, etc.. I have 2 routers in my house, one at each end. Doesnt matter what router I am connected to or what channel, security, and so on, the phone acts the same. keeps disconnecting and immediately reconnecting. I have also set it up for Static IP, which didnt change anything either. I have it set to connect to just ONE router and have had it "forget" all others.
Yes, I searched google and have tried all of the tips that were relevant.. I even tried Tasker to see if there was some way to force WiFi to stay connected. It's NOT a matter of signal strength, I get full bars and only 1 bar missing when I am outside. So I dont think its a problem with my antanna. I dont know what to do now. Maybe try a new ROM? Throw it against the wall? Seems like my device is defective becuase the kids say they dont have any problems with the wifi, but they dont use it as much or in the means that I do. And trying to get your teenage kid to hand over their phone so you can test it for a while, is like, well you know. lol
I know this is more of a rant than anything else but if someone has any ideas please let me know.
List of what I have done so far.
Rooted the phone with N910T3UVU1DOK2 Stock Rooted Odex / DeOdex for N910T3. I chose Odex. I used the phone for several months like this.
Then I had a problem with T-Mobile blocking my phone (bought on ebay). I contacted the seller asking him WTF and they sell so many phones that he couldnt find my information so he sent me to an EMEI place that he paid for. The EMEI website says its supposed to take about 10-15 minutes. But SEVERAL hours later and 3 different stock ROM installs later, they finally got my EMEI changed. So now I am on N910T3UVUIDOG1. Then the EMEI guy rooted it with CF root or something...
Doesnt matter which of the stock roms I have used, I have the wifi problem. Like I said, I dont think its my antanna because when I am connected, I have a really good connection, well, I think its good. Its the same as I get with a cat5 cable on my pc. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/2032861983

Have a great day people.

Well there are no WiFi issues with the Note 4 at all.
However there are several things to comment on with what you wrote.
For one the first and most obvious is the fact that you bought it on eBay. Was it used? Doesn't really matter because crooked eBay sellers often sell things as NEW even when they are not.
So who knows the history of the phone, that leaves a huge variable in the mix.
Judging by the fact that the IMEI was blacklisted its either stolen or in the best case scenario it was a phone bought with EIP, sold, and then not paid on.
Again questionable history.
So I'm guessing its a damaged or defective phone. Unfortunately because the first IMEI has beek black listed and the 2nd one is not for that phone you cannot use anything like PHP insurance. You might (big might) be able to get a warranty support through Samsung but I'm guessing you would have to change the IMEI back as they are not going to honor any device with a different IMEI. That's also a huge might because you also need proof of purchase etc.
Big lessons learned here. For one this is the risk now a days from buying on eBay or Craigslist type places.
Also these issues definitely do not represent the device etc. So far the Note 4 has been one of the best Sammy devices ever.
I would find out why its black listed. If you bought it less then 3 - 6 months you might be able to file a claim with your bank as its possibly fraud type situation (stolen phone).
I truly hope there is a happy ending for you some how.
Good luck!
I have bought 2 note 4s and they act exactly like you describe. Cannot stay connected to my Google fiber. My nexus 5 always stayed connected with no issues. My wife's moto x? Acts just like the note 4s losing connection all the time.

Strange. My wife also has one too and we both have no problems on 300 Mbit cable.
Also we have at least 2 or 3 exchanges over the past 2 years so that is a total of 5 Note 4(s) with no Wifi issues.
Perhaps both of your issues are unrelated but have similar symptoms.
Just a thought but to those having problems do you have Smart Network Switch enabled in WiFi settings? I was trying to connect my Chromecast a few days ago and my wifi kept cutting out. It would happen everytime I tried to "set up" the Chromecast on my TV. Once I turned the Smart Network Switch off I had no problems.

I've never actually turned it on. Have used the note on 4.4.4 (stock and firekat), 5.0.1 briefly, 5.1.1 (stock and poprocks), cm12.1, and now 6.0.1. Always rooted, sometimes with xposed.
Wife's moto x has always been stock and still the same issues.

Well in your case if this is happening with devices of different brands perhaps its some issue or settings with your access point / router.
