Hi, I posted a similar question about this under the OneRoot thread, but I don't see a lot of activity there anymore, so I was hoping to get more responses in a separate thread. I've scoured this forum and everywhere else on the Net and I haven't seen anyone experience this same issue. Hopefully someone will understand the problem and have some idea how to rectify it.
So, I have an AT&T Samgsung Captivate with the stock 2.1 Android "Eclair" build on it. I do believe there was an AT&T issued OTA update for it not long ago that put the build number up to UCJH7. I followed the instructions for TGA_Gunnman's One Click Root/UnRoot method documented here. Everything seems to work fine, in terms of booting into the recovery mode and selecting the update file. After the phone reboots, however, I do not see the Superuser Permissions app with ninja icon in my Applications area. If I browse the directory tree in my internal SD card in /system/apps, I do see a SuperUser.apk file. However, clicking on that shows me the message "Install blocked: For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market." So it appears that rooting procedure worked, all the necessary parts were installed, but I don't have permission to execute su. I see that the xbin folder has been created, and it does contain busybox, su and something called ipctool. Also, a link does exist in /system/bin between su and /syste/xbin/su. If I use the Terminal Emulator and type "su", the prompt sits there for 10 seconds and says "permission denied".
Any ideas on what could be preventing me from gaining superuser access here?
Thanks for your help,
Mike
Download and install "SuperUser" from the Android market
OK, so here is another strange thing about this. This doesn't seem like it'd be related to my original su permission problem, but you never know. I decided to try to un-root using the one click method. Now, during the un-root script, I see the adb daemon start, but it fails on the push command writing unroot.zip to update.zip in the /sdcard folder; it says that permission is denied!. Of course, after booting into recovery, applying the update file fails, as it wasn't found in /sdcard. I'm not sure how this could have happened, as the root script was able to push the root.zip to sdcard just fine initially. Now, after I open a shell against my phone using adb, I check the permissions for the sdcard folder, and this yields rwxrwxr-x. I'm not sure, but I believe there should be another w flag set for other on sdcard. How the heck could that have been cleared?
It does look like I can copy the update.zip to sdcard manually through Windows Explorer and just manually boot into recovery using volume up + down + power, so I'm not completely dead in the water. Yet, I'd like to fix the permissions for sdcard, or else I can no longer use the one-click method.

Thanks for advice. I will definitely try this, but I did not see this step listed in the oneclick root method? I do see an .apk file for SuperUser in /system/apps, so it seems like the app is already resident. The problem is that it doesn't show up in my main application area on the phone, and I can't run the app; it says it is blocked.
Even if there was a superuser app in the market, wouldn't I need to enable sideloading to get it (which AFAIK need root access)?
Again, thanks for the advice, I appreciate you taking the time to help.

Its blocked BC u are trying to install it, not run it. Read that error message again.
What happens if you open ROM manager and try to flash clockwork recovery? Or load titanium backup?
End points are HIGHLY important, and if you read your post carefully, you have not yet demonstrated that superuser access is broken, only the icon from which you inferred it is broken. Let me know then we can go from there

Yeah, you're right, now that I see that error message, I guess it is trying to install it. That's odd, because I thought that the oneclick method would have already installed this app during the recovery boot load?
Regarding ROM manager, funny you should ask, that was the entire genesis of why I'm trying to root, so I can backup my phone and install the custom ROMs. After I installed ROM manager and tried to run it was where I initially noticed I must not have root access. When I try to flash clockwork recovery, the app hangs for (oddly enough) around 10 seconds. I never see any prompt for granting root access to clockwork recovery, nor does it boot into the recovery mode.
Okay I have another idea.
If your goal is to simply make a backup to flash a ROM, try this:
1. Download Cog 2.3b6. Other ROMs may have the file I'm looking for but I know it is here. Also you may be able to search and find this file directly but I'm too lazy to find the link for you lol
2. Open the zip file on your computer and extract /sdcard/update.zip
3. Adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
4. Reboot recovery, reinstall packages, you are in clockwork recovery and can back up your ROM.

I'd like to try that, except that it appears there is some type of permission snafu on /sdcard. I believe the permissions on that folder *should* be 777, but it is 775 (other has no write access) for some odd reason, and I have no clue how that happened. Hence, when adb tries to push the update.zip to the internal SD folder, it gets permission denied. As I mentioned, not sure if this is related to not being able to execute su, but it is strange nonetheless.
Guys, please disregard what I mentioned earlier about adb and not being able to push the root/unroot.zip to /sdcard. I'm a moron, and I had left the internal SD card mounted to Windows after connecting the phone via USB. Clearly for adb to push/pull off of /sdcard, the internal SD card must *not* be mounted by Windows. My mistake, sorry for the confusion.
The original theme of the thread is still unanswered though, which is how the one-click root could have worked and not installed the SuperUser app onto my phone.
I will try the recommendation earlier in the thread, to download and install the SuperUser app from Android Market to see if that fixes things.
OK, so I downloaded and installed the SuperUser app from the Market, and for whatever reason, this seems to have addressed the issue. I am now prompted to allow applications root privileges. I'm not sure why this was necessary or how it fixed things, perhaps because it overwrote the version of su that was on my phone with a newer one. In any case, it's working.

ok i just updated to CM 5. and well none of my apps are there, now im trying
this following :
sh /sdcard/installapk.sh /sdcard/theapp.apk
and no luck i think i can b doing it wrong.
cant DL the app cause i dont have the market app ether
Download DroidExplorer and you can do a bulk install of all your apps straight to the sdcard. Works everytime!!!
Link is in my sig
yea but i have no market on the phone and i dont have adb set up on my pc is it possible trew terminal to install astro so i can go on from there?
If your market is not there then you failed to flash the gapps.
You need to flash those AFTER CM5 or BEFORE. I've heard it works different for some people. First time I flashed it, it was before. Now it's after. Before and after won't hurt.
i figured that but the link on CM page for gapps is not working for me
I'm not really sure what having the market working has to do with anything. Clearly you didn't even take the time to click the link in my sig and go to the DroidExplorer thread.
it seems like that is for computers 64bit and up i have 32

Are you talking about DroidExplorer? I have it installed on my 10 year old Dell and it is definitely a 32 bit machine. I'm assuming you are talking about something else.
You can use busybox if you have the latest CM ROM installed which you do. Busybox is included in the ROM so you can run busybox commands from terminal.
Put the apps you want to install on the root of your sdcard just to make them easy to find. Once in terminal, su so you have a # symbol
Then
Code:
busybox install /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app
great now i am F*** i tried installing the debug phone ota file that was required for CM 4.x and now i have no recovery it comes out the phone with exclamation mark
trying the droid explorer now
no luck droidexplorer seems to view the device but nothing else

Well that makes sense considering Droid Explorer requires root...According to your post on the first page, you are seeing an exclamation point when booting into recovery which means you lost root access by flashing whatever it is you flashed. Time to start all over again.
There is an updated rooting post for the Dream over at theunlockr.com
ok now my thing is i cant have the phone on cause it will keep getting FC and after a few it reboots
im trying to set up ADB on my pc now will that help me fix this? the phone boots up and the it reboots on its owne
It seems pretty clear that you don't really know what you are doing when it comes to modding your G1, and it is also pretty clear that you aren't willing to listen to directions.
I told you that you could batch install applications through Droid Explorer and you blatantly ignored my directions then said that it wouldn't work because you have a 32 bit computer.
I then gave you directions on how to use busybox to install the application that you wanted and never got a response regarding whether you even tried it or not.
You responded further into the thread saying that now you are getting an exclamation point when booting into recovery which MEANS THAT YOU DON"T HAVE ROOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Installing adb and getting it working isn't going to do anything for you as far as installing applications because you lost root access which means you don't have the correct permissions to do anything anymore.
I gave you the link to an updated post on rooting so either do that or update this thread with where you stand exactly. Can you get into recovery? Is it an exclamation point? Can you launch the terminal app? When you type "su" do you get a # or an $? Does it say permission denied? ETC ETC ETC

My whole point with the no market is if he would have flashed the gapps or found another way to get them he could have installed a file manager then installed the app off his sdcard.
This was a 1 - 2 minute procedure that he has not made an hour/s procedure.
I agree with droidexplorer, I use it quite constantly. However, if he would have correctly installed CM5 this issue would have never arisen.
As for OP, I strongly advise that you unroot and stick to stock. If you cannot successfully do this, there is a high chance you are going to brick and it's just not worth it.
this is not the first time i try this i have a understanding of what i am doing, for some reason i decided to try another sdcard and it magically booted fine, now the gapps link doesn't work for me, so i am trying to install astro threw terminal emulator (astro is on the root of the sdcard) so i can just install the rest of my apps
thank you busybox worked thank you so much
funny after all the stuff i tried i decided to try a diff sdcard and it booted fine and then changed back to the old sdcard and it works fine

Ignore the installation commands, you need to boot in to recovery and push the hosts file to /system/etc/ on the phone.
Adfree works fine. The reason it doesn't work on slide has nothing to do with the app. The hosts file goes in /system/etc/ and since we don't have r/w access to /system, the app can't do what's its supposed to do. It works great I used it the whole time I had a G1, its just cus your phone isn't PROPERLY rooted. Neither is anyone elses til we get that SPL...
Til then you gotta adb push the file thru recovery...
I dunno if you know this, but adfree temporarily d/l's the hosts file to your sdcard, then deletes it when its done. But since it couldn't replace the file on my slide, it left it on the sdcard! All you gotta do is run the app and wait for it to error out, then go get the file and put it on your pc and adb push to /system/etc...

Actually, its rooted just fine (you can run anything you want as uid 0). The SPL security has nothing to do with root.
It is like saying you don't have the proper key to a door just because after you open it there is a guard standing there not letting you in to the next room.
Just being picky...
i think what he meant is that with all the other phones most of us have had we had an SPL to flash once we had done the original tweaks(or before on some phones) so as of right now i agree that the phone is not rooted properly yet as i don't have full control over the phone whenever i want, i want to be able to mv stuff to system partition from android terminal
just being picky...
could anyone please post the actual commands? im new to adb and wold really appreciate the help adfree is the entire reason i even rooted
among others but it was the number one

it said this

same thing happened to me. but as falken mentioned before, you have to make sure the system is mounted before running the command. so..
boot into recovery.
go to 'partitions'.
select 'mount /system'.
run adb command "adb push hosts /system/etc".
reboot system.
*you might wanna might wanna be sure the comp sees the device in recovery before running the command via "adb devices". i do this before i do any adb'ing.
*be sure the hosts file is in the root of your sdk directory, otherwise your command will vary.

I've root the mobile with SuperOneClickRoot and everythings goes fine, I have the icon in the launcher and I have the phone rooted...
I've tried to flash the recovery of amon Ra with the terminal app, and it said that flash_image not found...
So I've tried the ROM Manager and I've installed clockwork...when the yellow status bar finisch it gave me and error that some command cannot be executed with high privileges (or without high privileges I didn't remember the error was in italian language)...

Interesting.. It's not found? Did you also where did you put the file and what was the command you did? Also.. what instructions did you follow? I'm assuming you typed in "su" as well right?
Try either fixing permissions via ROM Manager, or installing busybox through the Titanium problems menu...
Maybe it's because I've root the phone without installing the SDK but only the driver for nexus?
when I root I see that all adroid driver for windows was installed except the one of nexus...
Can I install SDK and then root again?
Of course it won't allow you to use flash_image - you don't have the executable on your phone.
Please read the proper manual in Wiki under "Installing Recovery image" (link in my signature), and follow the manual step by step.
Just because you have superuser in the app draw does not mean you're rooted.

New question
I've found out that the problem was that ROM Manager doesn't have the root privileges -.-
So I've installed amonra and cyanogen...
everything is good but I have a really BIG problem
The phone sometimes goes to "only emergency call" also if there are strong signal, maybe it's the Radio? can I re-install it? or can be the sim-card?
Sometime it happen when the phone is for long time stand-by some time random...it's pretty annoying
I've installed Cyanogen mod, the phone is already rooted?
how can I import windows contact to android?
There is a way to config the app I want that can notify me?
Can I install app directly on SD instead of trasfert it after they are installed on the phone memory?
Thanks in advace
1. It's not a radio.
2. Yes.
3. Google can answer that with 1000 guides.
4. Only in the app itself. There is no external control over notifications.
5. There's an option for that in CM. I don't suggest using it or transferring apps to SD that weren't meant to go to SD - since the next question you'll come with would most probably be "Why are my apps/widgets disappearing".
ahahah LOL
thanks, but I didn't understand well the point 5 about the app to sd (why some peole talk about App2SD???)
And if it is not the radio what is it???
There are several options for moving apps to SD. In CM7 they use the default option, existing since Froyo days. This default option has several limitations that you need to know before using it - I wrote them.
The other way is partitioning the SD card, adding another partition to it, and running a special set of system scripts that moves all the apps by default to that partition.
Please read FAQ, question 13, and the thread that it links to.
If it's not radio - it can be your SIM, it can be your signal, it can be your phone, or anything else. The radio is just a SW build, and it works.
Hello All,
I have been in and out of every Dev and General forum about installing the CWM on Z8. Unfortunately I have yet to find a solid solution to the below errors when using MTM's ZV8CWMRecovery bat. I would be posting in related thread on the dev site, but I don't have enough posts to post in there. So far I have seen multiple users with this problem:

I have only seen a couple answers to this that actually address the error messages. One being to manually copy the local.prop into the data folder. I have tried taking the local.prop file and moving it to /data but when I do I get the error message on my phone saying java.io.filenotfoundexception:/data/local.prop (permission denied).
I feel that this has something to do with Superuser mainly because when I have tried to use other methods like using quick boot or Rom Manager to boot into recovery, I get messages saying that Super User has denied access.
1) Is anyone else having similar Super User problems when they get the CWM installation error above?
2) Can anyone think of a correlation bewtween the super User error and the CWM installation errors?
3) Can anyone give any usefull insight into what these mean?

Sounds like the phone did not root properly. I had that problem before where i had superuser but no root access to anything. My solution was starting over from scratch, im not sure how to do it w/o starting over. If you have everything on the computer already then starting over should only take 15 mins or so.

After you unzip that file, download the CWM 6.0.0.0 img file and rename it cwmrecovery.img and replace the one in /files. Then run the Run Me.bat and select option 2 - it says Root and CWM 5.5.0.4, but since you replaced the img file it'll push the one you want. Make sure your phone is in Internet Connection more and turn on USB Debugging. I hope that works!

After you unzip that file, download the CWM 6.0.0.0 img file and rename it cwmrecovery.img and replace the one in /files. Then run the Run Me.bat and select option 2 - it says Root and CWM 5.5.0.4, but since you replaced the img file it'll push the one you want. Make sure your phone is in Internet Connection more and turn on USB Debugging. I hope that works!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The same exact way I've done it. Numerous times with no success. It said it pushed but reboot back into 5.5.0.4
Anyone else have this problem? How can I achieve this with adb or file explorer... the method posted just isn't pushing the image...
To do it from within the phone... (Insert the usual disclaimers here about messing your phone up here. It's all you from here on out)
You can open up the .bat batch file of one of the rooting tools that have CWM install scripting.
Copy the commands they perform in preparation for the procedure. Remove adb shell and push from the commands as you will be doing this from inside the phone, not via adb. I think you might have to remove some open/close quotation marks too, unnecessary from the terminal prompt.
Rename the new CWM file to match the command prompt change the command to match the new CWM filename.
Move that file to the expected location (/local/tmp if I recall correctly).
Use app Terminal Emulator to create a terminal windows and type su and Press enter. That will get superuser access.
Then, issue the commands you took note of from the batch file.
Reboot to Recovery to test if successful.
I used this basic process to get CWM on after rooting stock ZV9 a few weeks ago. Combing through a couple different batch scripts, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to bork my phone. The adb remount command doesn't seem to work after rooting for some reason. That seems to be the cause of adb failure to update CWM.
If you get into trouble, I can't help you much there as I'm not that advanced. Good luck.
Anyone else with tips please chime in and help the chap :beer:

Didnt work.. iam hoping that resetting back to stock and using that image from the start will work
Weird. I was expecting to hear good news since that's how I got CWM onto my phone. Good job trying!
