Today I decided to root my captivate and was unsuccessful with the super one click. I then decided to do it manually with the update.zip. After I finished rebooting with recovery mode I saw the su app. I then tried to use titanium backup and it said that it could not get root permission. Could someone please help me figure out what went wrong and help me get a successful root so I can enable normally apps.

Did you enable USB Debugging for the one click method? Is your captivate I896? More info please.
I did enable usb debugging and my model number is I897

Should I flash back to stock with odin and then try to root

What ROM are you running?
Titanuim Backup probably wasn't given su permissions.
1. Have you tried rebooting it. Sometimes all it needs is a simple reboot and when you start TB, it will ask for su permissions.
2. Go to superuser. If you see titanium backup, click on it, forget, and reboot.
Just oneclickstock, load your ROM, and root again.
Maybe it's an app that's getting in the way?

root is root. as long as you have root and CWM you can flash Gingervolt no problem.

If that is the root method you used, you do not have cwm recovery yet. You either need to run the newest version i posted earlier (yes it is ok to run the root.bat even if you already have root!), use RevoToolkit, or install manually. Then you can install the rom.
Ok I'm going to go do that now . I'm going to use the revotoolkit. So basically what that tool kit does is allow you to install custom roms? I hope that ginger volt can speed my phones processes up. I really don't want to ask for another htc device and my only two choices to swap for was the charge and this phone. Ugh I'm so frustrated...
ok so used revtoolkit and installed it and then downloaded the gingervlt zip file to my sd card. i rebooted the phone while pressing the power and vol down key an it came up w a screen asking if i wanted to erase everything. i watched a youtube vid that said to proceed with that and nothing would be erased and it did erase everything. how do i get into that screen to exract that zip file?

The root method you used is out dated and does not remove the files to make clockwork stick. Reuse revotoolkit to reinstall cwm, after confirmed to have worked, while still in revotoolkit press menu and hit reboot recovery.

ok i reinstalled the cwm and when i click on the reboot option the screen on the phone is on but blank. am i missing something?

I rooted my phone and installed CWM.
However rooting and installing roms are not for me. So I want to go back to my warranty.
How can I unroot and remove CWM and go back to my warranty, I still have 21 months of warranty period and I dont want to burn it
I found how to unroot, installing unroot file and setuping it like rooting but how to remove CWM.
Thx a lot
Taha
if you have a stock rom then flash it with Odin
else for unrooting first remove superuser app then busybox and sqlite3 then su and you will be unrooted
for going to stock recovery you will need its img and have to flash with odin
weird thing I only had superuser. after putting unroot.zip into my sdcard.
I turn off my device and go to the recovery - tadaaa CWM is gone.
What can cause this?
How I install CWM? Put the cwm into sd card and installed it via recovery menu.
Thx a lot

I found this file in this forum and looks like it did the job. I check with root checker and it says I'm not rooted.
But I'm confused about CWM. How it deleted itself. It deleted itself before unrooting process.
I don't have the answer
I guess flashing a stock firmware gives you the stock recovery. So its obvious that you'll lose CWM.

Google Search it. Go to your phone's settings>about>baseband version. Then Google search the baseband version and look for a download or a guide. Afterwards download the file and flash it with Odin.

Correct, there is currently no known exploits in Android 4.1.2, nor any SGS3 specific exploits.

Good morning all!
Im looking for a way to root my i9305 on the run.
I do not have any PC nearby and also no odin to use.
I know that with my old i9100 there was a "portable" cwm zip which i could install with my stock
Recovery.
After that i was able to install su with this cwm.
And for all that i didnt use any pc or odin,
So my question is if theres any solution for me?

Use heimdall, flash cwm, then flash superuser (I used Koush's). I just did it on 4.1.2.
1) install heimdall
2) Boot phone into download/odin mode (home+power+vol DOWN)
3) Flash cwm: heimdall flash --recovery recovery-clockwork....img --no-reboot
4) Unplug USB when the bar is full blue on phone.
5a) Some people say you need to remove the battery for 10 seconds. This is so that the phone is completely off so you can reboot into recovery. I think you can just do the key combo from the previous screen though, try it and let us know.
5b) Reboot into recovery (home+power+vol UP)
6) Boot normally and transfer your prefered superuser image to sdcard
7) Re-reboot into recovery and flash your superuser
The important part to note is the --no-reboot for heimdall. The removing battery bit may not be necessary. I think once the flash is done (full blue bar), just unplug the usb cable, and boot into recovery (home+power+vol UP) should work. The idea is that if you don't boot into recovery straight away, it'll get overwritten.

Just install the framaroot app, it is a one click root.
In addition, you can one click unroot also with this app.
Ok, after you root,if you want to install cwm recovery, you just install another app called ROM manager (from cwm), you can install the cwm recovery from that app.
Everything is so easy and no risk.

Correct, and if you want to do it another way/app:
Download Mobile Odin from Store and flash via it the recovery you want (cwm 6.0.3.2)
And from mobile odin you can also flash custom roms
And to relate to OP, NO COMPUTERS!.

Hey, my friends of the L90 Discussion Forums.
I know there was already a previously made text guide for this, but since some people like visuals, I made a quick video tutorial for it.
All the instructions and download links are in the description of the video. I'll paste them here just if you are too lazy to get the YouTube video open from the YouTube site.
Here's the video:
(Sorry for any wording mess-ups I made. I'm a better script/speech writer than I am a presenter.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaGM-TtlRbM

I did not originally come up with how to get the bootloader. Credit to Quarx from XDA and his friends at 4pda.ru.
Ok, So, here are the instructions if you did not find it clear enough from the video, and got your **** stuck in a ceiling fan:
Requirements:
1. Root (Use Towelroot)
2. Terminal app (I used an app called Android Tuner Pro. Remember to enable SU when installing Recovery and rebooting or it may not work)
3. twrp.img - http://bit.ly/1IZ2BRn - download from google drive
Instructions:
1. Ensure that your phone is rooted.
2. Download and move twrp.img to internal sdcard (/sdcard)
3. Open up terminal app, ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SU ENABLED, and type in this command:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
3.5. If the command works, it should take a few seconds and it will say "11 MB has been transferred in so and so seconds"
4. After that, type in:
reboot recovery
It should then reboot into the newly installed TWRP recovery. Wait now, Why isn't anything working when I touch it? Well, TWRP has a small error that doesn't recognize touches the first time around, so wait till the screen times out after 60 seconds, turn the screen back on, and unlock. Then it should be usable. Remember to change the screen timeout to 15 if you don't want to wait.
There you go, that should be about it.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not take responsibility for damage done to your phone. You do this at your own risk.

Can I flash CM11 using TWRP after installing TWRP using this method, ? Is there a way to access TWRP Recovery by pressing a combination of buttons when the phone is rebooting?

I have not tried flashing any ROMs or anything yet on it.
Also, I found a key combination, which is exactly the one you said. Problem is, the guide I read it from said you need to go through with the Erase Phone and whatever, and then it will load your recovery, but I'm not risking what I've done so far just to try to get into Recovery.
Instead, I made a small app that uses the Shell and Root to simply perform a reboot into Recovery by the press of a button.

There's just a button in the middle of the screen that says "Boot into Recovery".
It requests Superuser so that it can run the shell command "reboot recovery".

Is it safe to flash CM11 once you have recovery? Would that take erase towel root and root access somehow and then TWRP along with it? Or would TWRP recovery survive?
I am unsure. I am the kind of guy that enjoys Stock so I've never bothered to flash anything. Best off asking someone who is a heavy flasher and active user.

Towel root is only used for the rooting process, it can be deleted once you install supersu and busybox, or like you want flash a custom rom, any thing is safe oto do once you have a custom recovery as long as you follow op's directions on flashing their rom. Always read directions and as much info as can first. Recovery will always be safe unless you flash a kdz with lg flash tool which is used to completely return to stock, recovery, system and all. Also always back up while in recovery before flashing. Its always good to have back up stock rom, or any roms you like in case you decide to switch back or between them.

What does busybox do? I installed it and every time I open the app it says "Smart Install is loading ...You may go ahead and install Busybox or wait for Smart Install to finish loading". There are boxes to tick under "Smart Install" that can only be used in the PRO edition. The boxes are: "Enable Smart Install", "Replace All (Symlinks all)", and "Clean Mode". I don't know what these options do, but from the reviews I've read the PRO edition can break WIFI and even break the phone. If I do buy the PRO edition, and I flash CM11, it would wipe out the app. Would I have to buy it all over again from the play store?

Just open the app and click install once rooted and supersu binarys are install. Rooted apps use the commands and things busy box installs to run. Never had an issue with it, like said just hit install and leave the app on the phone for updates. When you install a custom rom they're s already built in, really only use for rooting the stock rom.
