[Q] Rooting Problem on Samsung Captivate Android 2.2 I987UCJI6 with Recovery <3e>
Hi ALL,
Here's the problem I have been having. I just bought and Samsung Captivate that had android 2.1 I987UCJH7 which I was able to root with no problem with OCLF App from the market. After upgrading to android 2.2 I987UCJI6 I tried it again and it would not work. I looked at app and it says it only works on Recovery <2e> for android 2.1 & 2.2. This made me curious so I looked at my recovery and it updated to Recovery <3e>. So I looked around and tried a couple of the different root updates that are on different threads on this site and non of them work. So question is, What is the right way to root android 2.2 I987UCJI6 with Recovery <3e> on it? If you can provide me with the correct download files and instructions that would be great! Please and Thank You!
Thanks I.I.
You can't. You need 2e recovery as far as I know, or at least until the source is released. You've upgraded to a leaked ROM that doesn't have everything set up perfectly yet.
That said, you can swap out the 3e kernel for a 2e one, then root, then swap back in your stock kernel (3e).
DesignGears's wiki on Ponack explains it.
Or you can just install Cognition like the rest of with a rooted captivate ROM less work....

Ok. so it says " This .zip file has everything needed" blah blah.. where is this .zip file???
#1 I would recommend ditching the oclf (ryans). Plus that app has lost its ability to root you due to terms and conditions of the market....i used one click super root to root my cappy. Have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Thank you! That program worked. I had to do the Shell root first, though, otherwise it goes into that loop error. But after click the shell root button, it passed, then I clicked the root button, all good. Finally hit the allow non market apps button, and installed my first non market ap.. that app just doesnt work..
But thank you! i'm all set now.
no prob! enjoy
<3e> problem?
I flashed 2.2 ji6 no problem, also rooted no problem with super 1 click. Problem I have now is trying to flash pheonix 3.5. ROM Manager wont install from sd. It goes into downloading mode but fails to install. Is this because of the <3e> recovery? How do I fix it?
Help would be much appreciated, thanks!
hey all,
im having some issues with unrooting my I9000
i had a rooted 2.1 eclair device wich i updated to 2.2 now i cant root or unroot it anymore. tried aplying the update.zip wich gave me signature verification error and the one click root/unroot doenst even do anything (unless startup then)
do i need to reset the original firmware back again or is there a solution ?

Did you root it again after you get 2.2? that's why you wanna unroot?? My understanding is that once you flash the firmware, the root is gone too.
nope my phone was rooted when i updated it but after the update apps said that it wasnt rooted anymore, so i tried rooting it again, that didnt work and the kernel version says root so that why i want to unroot, i want root 2.2
solved
installed SuperOneClick root and it worked thanks anyways
Hey everyone,
I rooted my nexus one when it was 2.2, now im trying to update to 2.2.1. However the OTA update wasnt taking, it failed and the installation aborted everytime. I search forums and found one saying to factory reset my phone, which i did. Saved everything with titanium backup. Now im stuck with:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Kernal version:2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 android-build apa26#1
Build nuumber: EPE76
One problem is i do not get an OTA update to upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1. Also i did a manual update with signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip and it fails and installation aborts. How can i get back to at least 2.2, but preferably 2.2.1.
Also when trying to restore my apps from titanium backup, it tells me my phone is not rooted, but I still see the little "padlock" unlocked when i boot my phone.
Thanks, hope someone can help
John
What recovery are you using?
fastboot, then recovery, used a zip i downloaded from another forum that gave me build epe76. just renamed it to undate.zip and let the phone do the work.
What recovery are you using? Stock? Clockworkmod? Amon_RA?
i guess just stock, all i do is fastboot the phone and hit recovery
Have you tried ROM Manager?
yes but i am getting an error that my phone is not rooted. Although it is, the padlock is open when i boot the phone. If I root it again will i be able to install 2.2?

There you go.
Unlocking the phone is one thing. Rooting is another. You need to root it over again, but it should be easier this time since you do not need to unlock your bootloader.
ok i will try but before i do should i upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1 first then root it again? Because that was my problem originally, i rooted it when it was 2.2 and could not get do the OTA update to 2.2.1 to work the installation aborted with an error every time.
No, root the phone first. Then you can put whatever the hell ROM you want.
It's like putting your pants on first, then your shoes.
Yeah root first cuz most of the custom rom already jumps to 2.2.1

Also, if you root first, you can make a full backup before doing anything else...

Hi guys, i've searched the forum, but i've mainly see people suggesting the z4 method.
Heres my problem; my phone (unrooted) was working fine up until yesterday, but when i tried booting it up today, it just goes straight to the boot loader. This phone has never been rooted before and after searching the forums, i've been suggested that rooting the phone could possibly help. I need a root method that can be rooted from bootloader. Obviously z4 is not an option since the phone will not boot up. Please advise.
Phone is currently running 2.2 froyo
Thanks in advance for your assistance,

Droid or Milestone? If you are on the Milestone, use RSD Lite to flash the vulnerable recovery from android.doshaska.net/rootable and install Androidiani Open Recovery from the sticky in Milestone Development section, root through AOR.

It's for the droid.
I was able to root using this method: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html
and then i installed the [ROM] SimpleROM v1.0 [ Froyo w/ Sense Styling + Working Flash 10.1 ].
THe rom installed successfully but when i reboot, i'm having the same issues.
It goes straight to bootloader.
and suggestions?
I have a verizon cdma sgt rooted stock rom. And there is an update that keeps popping up and everytime I try to do the update it fails half way through. Anyone have some advice or point me in the right direction on how to do it manually? Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanx guys and gals

if you're running the rooted stock dj11, then you have to unroot, apply the update, and then use superoneclick to re-root the new stock ec02 rom. alternately, you can hit the dev section, and snag a rooted ec02, which is flashable via heimdall. but your updates won't ever work with root. so you always have to unroot, and then apply the update, and then reroot.
also, if you used z4root to root, trust me when i say, it won't work for ec02. you have to use superoneclick, and you have to make sure you have the right drivers installed on the computer, or it stalls out.
I've tryed to unroot with superoneclick and it says its not rooted but never works. Is there a step iam missing?
