[Q] Need tester for one click root for galaxys no computer needed
Hey,
I just wrote this up.
Thanks to jcase for the information and his root for eris: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228
This will root your phone with no button pressing. No need for a PC.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptkbiyt99bws3ft/Galaxysrooter_Final.apk
NOTE: The auto-reboot will not work. it seems only system apps can reboot the phone. So for now.
Here is the work around
Code:
Just power off... Reboot into recovery...
Hold vol + and vol -
Hold power
Wait for vibrant
Release power
Reinstall packages
Mirror thanks to jphilpot
Confirmed working! Thanks to themykel.
Thanks to all for bug testing. This should be the final version. No need to use astro or anything to move files.
Thanks!
If you like this app and it helped you. Please donate. http://bit.ly/crSq3B THANKS!

if this is confirmed working, i can put this up in my market account for users to easily download / install / use. let me know.

You didn't test this yourself before posting this, or did you? Can you confirm this works before I try it?

I can confirm the MD5 sums are perfect and the files copy to the correct place.
It should be fine.

No. It's just the basic root + unroot. Made it simple for my first root app
easy to pop the new busyboxy via market. More will follow for other phones.

Confirmed working on my vibrant. I odin'ed back to stock and re-rooted with this (figrued why not, I still have 4 days left on my free return! )

Thanks my friend you rock.
I just didnt want to test the unroot process. Because i have too much stuff on my phone and only one unit
Very very Much appreciated.
I will update the alert for unroot.

your link is bad

Its down for me as well
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

It's not down, it's a copy paste error.

Tested and does work (first time rooting my phone)... however for some reason my phone some times does not wake up from sleep (had to do a battery pull), the screen wont light up/wake up. I didnt have such a problem before using your root app, weird!!!

Tried it 3 times before giving up and rooting the old fashioned way..with the update.zip
For some reason it kept putting the files on the sd card instead of internal.

did not work for me could not open zip files on sd card

I had that issue, simply move the update zip to where it needs to be, I used Astro

Koush is going to add the root method to clockwork in the extras folder. It would be awesome if koush added a root option for as many phones as possible. That would make clockwork the ultimate android app.

[Q] Rooting my Captivate

Is there a easier way to Root your captivate, I have tried several one click or different ways and have had no luck. Anybody can help me with this or point me in the right direction that works? the one click app don't work I really want to add and run other apps.
And also the KIES software does not work it never did. I really don't like the software even after trying the lite version. I like Droid Explorer. Oh yea this is on a 2.2 Froy OS

Have you considered joining the party and flashing a custom ROM? They all come prerooted to make your lives easier. At least I know my ROMS, MikeyMikes and anything by designgears does. I have not tried the rest yet.

I would definitely follow adam's advice and just flash a new rom. here is a good tutorial to help you get started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Adam's roms are great as well as DG's. Give one of them a try and realize how good of a phone the captivate really is.

Paragon is pre rooted also.

OP said one click doesn't work for him lol but op have you enabled usb debugging before trying out one click? Just asking to make sure. Although I recommend going the custom rom route as well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

If you are that stuck on rooting only, and one click really doesnt work for you (thats a first).
Google root captivate. A root update.zip should be very easy to find, put it on your internal sd card, reboot into recovery mode and select reinstall packages.
Id post one, but i am on my phone...

^ not going to be able to root on stock froyo at the recovery 3e wont let you install unsigned zips. The one workaround to this would be flashing a custom kernel via ODIN and then using that custom recovery to root.

Doh! I missed that.
Maybe odin to 2.1, and install a custom rom / kernel package...

New method found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19390207#post19390207

If you run this and it doesn't root you try wiping data from Setting>privacy and wipe the internal storage as well. I did that and it worked for me. Granted I didn't try this method without wiping my internal. If nothing else it cleans it up for you.

Were do I click run.bat?

The newest root method. I know there are several right now, but this puts it all in one place! This should take care of those with the file already exists errors.

Ok, so whatever changes you made ... it seems to work better in a virtual windows environment
Before it would get stuck at "daemon started succesfully"
now it goes through to "Installing Root Tools..."
but then I get a string of error messeages
either "device offline" or "device not found"
then "cleaning up" ... device not found
then "rebooting" ...device not found
then it freezes
when I unplug my device or toggle debugging mode it continues to say "root complete"
.... so close.

So If I'm rooted on Z4? then I still need to unroot and upgrade to Z6 for this to work?

Thanks a lot man for such this easy one-click-root tool.

Thanks mt! Worked great first time! You are the savior of the LG Revolution.
Does this mean I have to start donating 10% of my pay??

Just unzip the zip file, go into the new folder, click run.bat and follow what it says on the screen.

You just click the Run.bat in mt's zip folder. It runs in cmd.

AND IT WORKED .... I'M ROOTED AGAIN!!!!!!

I am sure I should know this answer, but what mode do I need to set the phone in when I connect to the computer? I'm assuming mass storage mode is not going to fly.

i updated to v7... ran this..it keeps telling me root is successful it cleans up n then reboots.. i see superuser i try and update it n it fails when trying to gain root access.. also opened titanium backup and cannot gain root... any suggestions?

I need a tester!!!

Hello all, it's me again!!! I need someone to test a new method for root and install of clockwork to eliminate the need of revotoolkit and hopefully eliminate all of these problems of fastboot. I have run it on my phone and it appears to have worked, but I want to take a phone that is not rooted at all, and completely stock and test it on. Please let me know if you can help!!! Thanks!
Ps. This can then be written into a return to stock script for replacing with the stock recovery!!!!

Will flashing the .tot replace the CWM to stock? I'm pretty sure it does. I could make a backup right now, flash the .tot and try this if the .tot will replace CWM to stock

Sending you a pm with the link! Thanks!!!

It rooted, installed CWM, and Revotoolkit successfully. No more errors in Revotoolkit, it knew which CWM version was installed.
Maybe change the filename so people don't mix them up with the other root methods? That's the only thing I could think of

Awesome! I am going to remove revotoolkit and make an all-in-one download tonight that will include the root and unroot files. That way to root it is one click and to put to stock is one click. Thanks for testing this out for me!

Hopefully we can kill those fastboot bricks finally!

Unbricked phone, is it still rooted?

Not sure how to check this but I semi bricked my phone last week, and thanks to you guys here for helping me getting it back up and running.
But how can I check if it is still rooted?
Some of my programs are not working anymore
Thanks

Download root checker from play store. That app will simply tell you whether you are rooted or not.

If you don't know if your phone is rooted it means you don't use apps which requires root which in turn means you have no need to root your phone!

I have not re installed them yet ok, and as you can see from the previous post I have already determined it is not so why you felt the need to make a snide comment is beyond me.

Root very quickly. Upload the official ICS ROM with PC Odin. Then upload the stock recovery using the kernel from this thread. I've done everything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

Hi there, can you flash the SuperSU.zip from Recovery? I've lost root numerous times (after flashing certain kernels) and SuperSU works fine for me.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Still have Odin on my phone, will that need to be removed if I am adding ICS with it already attached?
Also my kernal version has changed like 2x today from all of the updates (LRK currently) will have to find a new way to root vs the way I did it when I was on KKA or whatever it was
