Ive got an EVO cousin just got the Captivate. Help with Root please

So..
I have an EVO all decked out, rooted, Romed and so on..
Cousin just got the captivate and I want to help him root it and put the Phoenix rom 4.03
I'm downloading the rom now and would like someone to point me to the right spot to see how to properly root this phone.. Can I use the 1 click root (says its for 2.1)
Thanks guys!

There is a thread in the development forum the shows how and even has video.
Sent from my Captivate running Cezar's blazing fast Continuum v1.3 with SpeedMod k12p.

You don't even need to root unless you want to back up Apps with titanium backup or such. Just go to the phoenix thread, grab the clockwork update zip and rom from the op/faq. Put them on the internal as card, Use three buttons to boot into recovery, reinstall packages twice, and you will be in familar territory from there.
Edit......... don't spend too much time looking at his screen, you will get jealous, especially with scrolling and dark backgrounds

I will admit I'm jealous of the screen.. But he can't figure out why when he takes a picture of me in this dim light room, IM BLACK!! oh yea, NO FLASH.. LOL
Also, something with his quadrant results.. It was a little on the low side
Thanks though.. I'm already rooted, I can still install the phoenix right?
THANKS

Not to confuse with the different opinions but you would want to backup certain things on your phone before flash. Like your android id. I do not think you need root in order to do so
Android id changer app from market
Click save id

I did a clockwork backup first and just installed Phoenix.. So far things are working AWESOME!!
I'm really impressed with this little phone
Are there any other tips or tricks I should do before he leaves??
I tried installing swype but it will not work for some reason??
THANKS GUYS!!

[Q] Inspire 4g issues

Ok I first for a little info on me as this will be my first post. I recently switched to the inspire 4g from a JB Iphone. Just yesterday I Used Bubby's one click RC2. Everything went very smooth and ended up being far easier than I had anticipated, for that I would like to say thank you!
After using the phone for the last day and installing a few necessary apps I noticed that my flash player is not working. I downloaded Flash 10.2 I believe is the latest version. Still isn't working. For example prior to the root I was able to click on any video on facebook and it would play (while in the full browser, I dont like the app) Now after root it says flash player isnt supported when I click on a video.
Also I picked up Setpcu and after install found it will not allow any adjustments. Now my main question is do I need to find a suitable rom? Is there something I can look at on the phone that that would allow you guys to possibly identify the possible cause? Here is a picture of what software is currently on my phone.

The root is good as I have super user, romeditor titanium backup and a few other 3rd party apps installed and running and have restarted the phone to make sure everything worked and did not vanish from the phone. Any help and or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I will start with set cpu. The stock rooted rom, doesn't com with a custom kernel. You are going to need a rom that has a custom kernel, or a custom kernel in general (compatibility matters) to over clock, undervolt, and have different options for how your cpu performs.
As far as flash player it sounds like a problem with the app it self. Though flashing a rom that has it installed and updated already wouldn't hurt.

I see, I guess I need to research installing a rom and what exactly is behind it. I mean it took me a month to finally root it as I was pretty skeptical after reading hundreds of pages of people having issuses haha. correct me if I am wrong, which is likely, the rom is what the device is reading to function and the kernel is what allows apps to function on the device? Is the installation of these two things two separate processes?

If you need help with flashing check out my guide she is sticked at the top.
The best way I have heard it put is, the rom is what you see, and the kernel is what makes it happen.
Each app has its own programing (framework), which is why it reacts differently on different devices and roms.
It could be that flash player just didn't install correctly on your phone.

awesome, it was a bad install I deleted the update and reinstalled flash. Thanks for the simple tip, definitely going through the sticky tomorrow. Thanks!

Just rooted my G2X

Ok so today I took the leap and rooted my g2x, now my question is what can I do with a rooted phone? Im new to android just coming from apple land. so I have been reading and reading and still not sure as what to do on my rooted phone. I have installed titanium and froze some apps but thats about it, So my question is how do I find out everything I can do to my phone.

Try installing a custom rom and different kernel. You phone will will get a huge speed boost. Read the threads in the development section for more details.

There isn't much in the way of flashy stuff as far as root apps go, it's mostly simple, deep, and very, VERY useful.
Like Titanium Backup. Also, Root Explorer, the best file manager available for Android. Complete control over the filesystem; nothing is off limits. SetCPU is another wonderful thing, you can underclock your CPU to save battery (and overclock if you use a compatible kernel). Ad Away and AdFree both do the same thing: block ads. Advertisements won't load, not in the browser and not in any application. They're not perfect though; some do get through. I've found Ad Away to be slightly more effective. Keyboard Manager isn't as popular as the rest I've talked about but it's a personal favorite; it lets you automatically switch between two different keyboards when you're in landscape/portrait orientation. I use Swype on portrait and Swiftkey X on landscape, and the switch happens completely automatically.
Also, this isn't a root app but it's in the same general philosophy and I can't pimp this enough, Tasker. It's an extremely powerful tool that basically lets you tweak the behavior of your phone in any way you can think of. It's hard to describe; I keep my GPS off to save battery but every time I start an app that I want to have it, GPS automatically comes on. I use a gameboy emulator but I hate that it vibrates on every button press, so every time the app starts, haptic feedback turns off. It's an automation tool.
But there's one enormous thing I haven't mentioned, because it's not an application at all: custom roms and kernels. You'll need to do some further work to get this, but search XDA for NVFlash. It will let you put Clockworkmod Recovery on your phone, overwriting the default recovery mode and letting you modify the system itself. Custom roms (operating systems) are the heart and soul of XDA, and a source of near-infinite joy in trying out new ones. The G2X has a fairly good repertoire, including the two biggest names in Android roms: Cyanogenmod and MIUI. As for kernels, they can let you overclock the phone to improve performance or undervolt it to save battery life. Discussion of the different roms/kernels and the merits thereof have been done ad infinitum, so a search of the forums should yield all you should need.

Thanks I already have clock recovery installed. So roms and kernels have to be installed together. What's kernel?

You don't have to install custom kernels together with custom roms since custom roms have a stock kernel that will suffice. The type of custom kernel will be determined by the type of custom rom you choose. I am currently on cm7 (rom) and running faux 0.4.2 (kernel).

Now that's a great answer and completely agree with that post. I gotta check out keyboard manager, even tho I only really use smaftkeyboard pro.

+1 for Tasker. I'm new to the G2X but have been with Andriod since the beginning and Tasker is a must have. Control anything and everything that your phone does based off any kind of trigger. LOVE IT.
I just got my G2X from corporate and my Seidio case and am amazed with the speed. Haven't rooted it yet but have noticed several things that have made me want to. Resisting is futile.

Rooting gives you full access to your file system. Its similar to having an administrator account in Windows. The benefits of rooting come from what you can do with that access, not necessarily from rooting itself. You can make tweaks to your system that give you better battery life and better performance. You can completely change the theme of your phone. You can delete apps that the carrier installed that you wouldn't be able to delete otherwise. And most of that has been made much easier by developers releasing apps that do it all for you. A lot of them are in the Market.
An even greater benefit of the G2X is that it has an unlocked bootloader. This makes it very easy and hassle-free to install any custom OS (rom) that you want to ... assuming its compatible with the G2X. Its like having a completely new phone each time you install a new rom.

Lastnite after reading a lot I installed eaglesblood rom. So far so good. So if I want to install a different kernel what difference will that make?

It works with Froyo and Gingerbread.

Rooting isnt much fun. You don't really need root at all on the G2x unless you want to use a few special apps like Titanium backup or Root Explorer.
With most phones, rooting is required to begin the process of flashing a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod. With the G2x we don't need root to flash a recovery.
So root is useless more or less. At least dont expect magical and wonderful things to start happening.
All you need is to download a custom rom, nvflash CWM, reboot into CWM, and flash it. Roms is where the magic happen.

Yea I have noticed a lot of people are confused about what exactly root is needed for. Like you said, you don't need root to install recovery and flash a rom.
That said, root is very useful even with an otherwise stock installation. It allows you maximum flexibility over what can be done with your phone. And not everyone wants to flash a custom rom and start completely over setting up their system.

I have CM nightly 179 on mine and boot time is around 15-20 seconds.

if you installed "rom manger/clockwork recovery" via the market i would recommend actually flashing clockwork recovery via nvflash (nv as in nvidia). i say "actual" flashing, meaning that it replaces the stock android recovery w/ clockwork recovery. you'll need this to put new "roms" or operating systems (though all android based) onto your mobile. see my procedure (for desktops/laptops running linux only; if using windows/mac, please look elsewhere) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259852
i also recommend cyanogenmod v7.1.0.1 stable for a rom

Rooted my lg g2x
I rooted my lg g2x, but I can't get new roms. Rom Manger will not download and install. When I go to cwm I can't find the rom. so can anyone help me with this, I really want to put cm7 on my phone. And all the ones I downloaded of my laptop was bad.

Downloaded rom would be on SD card in cwm.

Followed video tut for rooting, now i'm lost. What's a ROM, and where do I start?

Hello, XDA! and, even though we haven't met yet, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE STUFF ON MY PHONE!!!!!! This is my first, and dreaded post.
I'm new to smartphones. My first was an iSUCK 3g. Now, I have the SGS4G! I'm totally new to this wprld, and every day, I'm being blown away by something new. Anyways, I have read two guides on this site already, but I'm still suffering from a little confusion. I think my problem comes from when I first rooted my phone. I was in a hurry to root it, because I needed to unlock the carrier permissions, so I could use my ATT sim. I hadn't found this site yet, sadly. I had tried a few things, to no avail, until I came across a you-tube video with some kid showing me how it's done, and other littler kids screaming in the background. Following the video step, by step, got it done, but he failed to go over, and explain what we were actually doing. Now, I don't know what ROM I have, or what kernel. It's not a big issue, because this phone now totally blows me away, especially the launchers.
I really enjoy this phone over the iSucks, becuase I like computers, and I'm more tech savvy than most. Perhaps that's where more of my confusion comes from... the terminology. So, on to the issue:
My RAM seems to run unusually high! with the GOtskmanager, it's always clocking between %72 - %79. I got RAM Manager Pro, which sometimes brings me down to %65 - %69, but it usually doesn't last long. I think I have it nailed down. I think it comes from certain apps that seem to run themselves. I have auto sync off, and I've DONE MY RESEARCH (some of which, I've yet to comprehend) I know not to use a task killer to routinely kill apps, and I know how the OS works, and allocates its RAM. So, I won't even worry about it if someone says these levels are normal.
Any tips on what I should do with my new phone? I saw a video that I can't find again, where this guy had his homescreen set up in such away, that the apps made this 3d cube of tiny boxes (apps) that moved like a rubik's cube. HOW DO I DO THAT!? It's not in any of the launchers I've tried. Anyways, thank you once again, XDA, you guys are awesome. I'm just a newb. Thank you to the users who made the guides!!
Ram is at 84% right now, NOT DOING ANYTHING!

Look at my guide that i have linked in my sig and read through the second post to find a custom rom that you like (i suggest Valhalla Black) and my guide tells you how to flash it. If you have questions, feel free to ask in the guide thread or pm me
And I believe the 3d cubes are part of SPB Shell launcher

Thank you Julz! I have read your guide thoroughly. I know to search, and research before asking questions. Like I said, I'm just slightly still confused. Did I not put a custom ROM on my phone when I rooted it?
Do I have to factory restore, or uninstall the current ROM in some way before getting another?
Also, I think I fixed the RAM issue. What is normal levels for my device? I can't find normal RAM levels listed anywhere on the net for my device.

Read the first link in my signature as an addition to Juls' guide. After rooting GB you need a custom kernel. Look for SGS Kernel Flasher in either guide to take your next step.

I think you should research more. But to help you a bit...
How you rooted your phone? You know about ClockWorkMod Recovery? Know about Odin or Heimdall?
Also, there is a section in Setting that tells a lot of your phone that is called About Phone.

Firmware: 2.3.6

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-sms-kj6-vo.1.0+

I used Heimdall to do this, as per the video guide I followed. I just downloaded Odin, for future tasks. I love the Norse theme to this stuff, I know the Eddas practically by heart, as well as the elder Futhark, and actual history of the ancient Scandanavian Vikings.

Be sure to keep your ODIN and Heimdall ports seperate. You can get by with CWM for custom ROM's now except to recover or clean your phone up. Read the Gremlin Remover thread to consider using after a custom ROM flash or two. Your other option is KJ6 Heimdall One-Click.

I've read the guides, the only thing I don't understand about that process, is that, will I need to set up all my apps again, am I starting my phone from scratch? Which ROM would you personally suggest?
When I'm using a custom ROM, am I restricted in any way? Can I still use the market?

Did you read the guide in the first link in my signature as suggested above?
It is best to start fresh when flashing a new ROM. A lot of apps have back up features within the app for settings and such (i.e. GoLauncher).
I recommend Valhalla Black. But all the 2.3.6 ROM's are great.
No restrictions. Except maybe watching movies in the market on rooted devices.

Read it.

One more thing. You say start from scratch... Factory Reset? So I will need to root again? Also, I had to unlock the phone to use with ATT. Will I have to do that again?

I mean with your apps. Factory reset won't unroot you. It isn't a bad idea to do a factory reset between flashings as a precautionary measure.
You shouldn't have to unlock again either.

My brother, thank you so very much for the info! I have been reading the guide you mentioned, and now I know why. 2 guides in there! I can't thank you enough, I've hit thanks on all your replies here, because little by little, you're really helping my understanding of it all. It must be frustrating trying to help people like myself! Thanks for trying to push this stuff through my thick head! However, I've encountered another problem, following your guide:
Trying to back up my efs folder, using Astro File Manager... says it cannot do it! I guess this means I need something that requests superuser permissions?
Any program you would recommend? or can I just do it manually with my computer, like save it on my comp or something?

I recommend starting where it talks about SGS Kernel Flasher. Then once you have the custom kernel with CWM - do and nandroid back up and save the nandroid back up on your computer for safe keeping. That will have your efs folder within it. And I recommended Super Manager

And flash this kernel -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25115050&postcount=1

I guess the kernel I have, doesn't have CWM. So, if I flash a new one, do I need to delete the one I have first or anything? Or just go about flashing a new one, like I never did one in the first place? I can try to find the video guide I followed if you think it will help.

[Q] Want To Root my Samsung Infuse I997 - NOOB Here.

Want to get my Infuse rooted and upgraded to either ICS or Jelly Bean.
I got the official GB update because phone was lagging. Some improvements but still lagging.
So I'm doing my research to find out, that it seems, I can't root GB and then upgrade to ICS/JB. That I would have to downgrade to froyo first.
So I've downloaded the Odin zip file and everything is ready, I'm just a few clicks away from doing the process I got from this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
Then I do some more research and notice this Hemdaill version.
Anyway bottom line, I want to avoid bricking my phone or any other catastrophe.
So my questions are(sorry for the wait):-
- Should I just go ahead with the instructions in the above link to go back to froyo before thinking about flashing a ROM for ICS/JB?
- If I go ahead with the above, can I go straight from froyo to ICS/JB or do I have to get GB first?
- Is there are a superoneclick root for GB on Infuse, and if so would I be able to upgrade to ICS/JB?
- I'll take any tips or recommendations. That's basically all I have to ask.

Yeah this is exactly what I used about 4 months ago. It was the first time I've ever tried something like this. It was SUPER easy, just follow the directions and then flash whatever you want.

Back to stock BUT with a few problems
Since I'm new I can't comment on the original's page where I got the process from.
Problems:
- I used the rooted version that was listed in the download. I have the SuperUser app icon. It opens. But I cannot delete apps that came with the phone. Will do a bit more research.
- Wifi is not working. Won't even try to connect. Maybe the SuperUser needs an internet connection, I don't know, research will ensue.
- At the risk of sounding even more like a noob, I will go do some more research but please responses are welcome.

If the above Odin worked. It should have installed a stock Gingerbread experience... WiFi/data/gps etc... Should work just fine.
Superuser only allows apps to gain special permissions to access new features... One app for example that is useful is Rom Manager that can install CWM recovery thus allowing you to flash ICS, then JB... Another useful app is Titanium Backup which will allow you to uninstall /backup/restore any app...
The easiest way from here is to read the OP for cm10. It has a link for a Odin recovery process (which has instructions for getting CWM using SGS kernel flasher), then a link for ICS. Then you can get Jelly Bean...
Remember that three finger method to get into CWM (hold vol +/- and power)
Edit: theoretically all you need is ICS CWM recovery to flash JB... Once you have that. You're good to go. Read EVERYTHING before doing something silly.

- Wifi is not working. Won't even try to connect. Maybe the SuperUser needs an internet connection, I don't know, research will ensue.
- At the risk of sounding even more like a noob, I will go do some more research but please responses are welcome.

Thanks for the tips.
I flashed again but **** before it did not auto reboot like it says it would and it was also checked in Odin to do that.
Anyway what I did was through the recovery mode I basicalky factoryvreset the phone, all the data all the cache and reinstalled the packages that was an option as well. Hell I chose everything. But it's working now, and it's a bit late.
Don't know if I want to try flashing to ICS while ai'm a bit groggy.
But thanks everybody for the tips and to the OP developer.
Xda always a big help.
