Easy root.... NOT 1 CLICK!!! - Captivate General

I did not write these. I simply extracted the appropriate files from the 1 click rooter. Donate to or thank them if these files help you.
The guides seem to all want you have have a 1 click that pushes the files to your computer. I always have problems with them.
Adb has issues on my pc, so it's easier to bluetooth or drag and drop these files to the root of my phone (/sdcard), and rename to update.zip. Reboot into recovery mode and choose REINSTALL PACKAGES. After you run them and reboot, delete them.

Easiest way to upload boot screen/animations

So i was looking around at other boot aanimation forums and stumbled across one over at android forums about a super easy way to get boot animations loaded....I was shocked when i decided to be the test puppet myself and it worked.
1. Download PutYourBootHERE.zip from http://rghost.net/1680923
2. Unzip the folder to what ever directory you want "c:\PutYourBootHERE". It should contain an adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, and a RunME file.
3. Place what ever bootanimation.zip in the same folder that you just unzipped.
4. Click on RunMe.
5. It will give you some "press Y to continue at your own risk or N for No" prompt. press Y and hit enter.
6. You will see now that you have options to reboot, reboot in recovery, copy boot to phone, and exit. Choose option 3-copy boot to phone
7. Your going to go through checklist to make sure your phone is plugged in, in debug, you put bootanimation.zip in the folder, and you have a copy. Press any key to continue.
8. It will ask you if you want to reboot your phone after the process is complete. I do just to make sure everything copied properly.
CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND PREY SHE WORKED.
Good luck to everyone

Just try it and it worked. Although this will not upload your sound animation. It will do the boot alone . Perhaps a tiny tune for that part will make the batch perfect

I like how I tried this method, and it did change my boot screen, but it also ****ed with my boot sound and it also pushes it to a different folder...

It just got rid of my boot sound all together(which is fine with me).
Also what folder do you look in? I find it in the /system/media folder.

well the thing posted above pushes it to the data local folder or whatever
I had to delete the stuff out of there because I was using the evos stock location of /system/customize/resource
so does this method work with custom ROMS or it will place the zip in the wrong location ... can u just copy the ZIP to the correct folder in root explorer?
No offense to the OP because at that time it was the easiest way but now with NAND unlocked.
Launch root explorer..copy the bootanimation.zip and audio file if it has one and then go into the correct folder and delete the old and paste the new in.
Done..i dont see how it can get easier then that.

this is true .. just need to know which folder to send it to ... for example in the fresh ROM
first you want to check /system/customize/resource/ because thats where the default one is at..fresh probably got rid of it already..
as long as its gone from there start using /system/media/ for the location.
thank you .. its in system/media !!
what if i dont have that folder?? Im running the newest edition of Fresh

OBSOLETE.

In the event something happens to your phone, -I'm- not responsible for the damages to it, you are. The end. I've personally tested this method and it works flawlessly.
This tutorial entails gaining full root access on your Evo. That means we -will- be unlocking NAND. But most importantly, we'll be doing it all without the use of a computer. Needless to say, this is going to take a while, especially if you don't have access to a wifi signal. The PC36IMG.zip files are rather hefty and are going to take at least 30 minutes to download. So I suggest you start downloading both of them now.​
Prerequisites: Download Astro File Manager from the market. Open it up, hit the menu key on your phone, select more, select preferences, then scroll down and make sure Enable Browser Download is checked.
This is a template for you guys that'll explain to you how to move a file to the root of your SD card using Astro File Manager.
The files that you've downloaded from the links below are going to be located in the Downloads folder that is on the root of your SD card.
Unless you're using a browser like Xscope or Dolphin, then you'd have to navigate to the particular browser's folder that you're using, open it up and find the downloads folder in there.
When you first open the Astro File Manager app, you're going to be staring at what is the actual root of your SD card. Remember that.
Code:
When I tell you to move something to the root of your SD card, you're going to:
Locate and open the appropriate download folder that contains the file I am referring to.
Long press on the file.
Select Edit.
Select Move.
Press the Back key on your phone 'til you've reached the root of your SD card in Astro File Manager.
Click the Menu key on your phone.
Select Edit.
Select Paste.
When I tell you to rename a file you're going to:
Long press on the file.
Select Edit.
Select Rename.
Rename it accordingly and select done.
Step 1. Download this file http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip and move it to the root of your SD card.
Step 2. Power down your phone.
Step 3. Hold down the Volume Down and Power key simultaneously and keep holding it down until you've reached a white screen with 3 android dudes on skateboards.
Step 4. It's going to give you some options, whether or not to install the PC36IMG.zip, select yes (volume up is yes) for any prompt you get.
Step 5. Once you've rebooted you will officially have root access. Just not full root access, we still need to unlock NAND.
Step 6. Navigate to the root of your sd card and rename the PC36IMG.zip file whatever you want, doesn't matter. Just don't name it update. You can even delete it if you want.
Step 7. Download the mtd-eng.zip file here. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342668&d=1276481802 And the flash_image.zip file here. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342667&d=1276481776
Step 8. Navigate to the root of your SD card and locate both of the .zip files you just downloaded. Open them, and long press on the files inside of them, then select Edit, then Copy, navigate back to the root of your SD card, press menu, select Edit, and then paste. Do the same thing for both files.
Step 9. Open up the Android Market and download the terminal emulator app by Jack Palevick, it's free.
Step 10. Open the terminal emulator app and type in these commands exactly as they are written. If you get an error, try again.
Note: After each line is completed, hit enter. A # sign means you've run the commands successfully.
Code:
[B]su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img[/B]
Step 11. Download the new PC36IMG.zip file here -http://sdx-downloads.com/sdx/evo/troot/eng-PC36IMG.zipand move it to the root of your SD card, then rename it to "PC36IMG.zip" because the is named eng-PC36IMG.zip, which is wrong. Then power down your phone.
Step 12.
Hold volume down and power to boot into hboot.
- It should now find and verify the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard. It'll show a blue status bar on the top right of the screen.
- After a minute or so it will ask u if u wanna flash Select YES.
- After it flashes the PC36IMG.zip it will ask if you wanna reboot. Select YES.

Click to collapse
Step 13. Once your phone has rebooted, download the recovery.img file here - http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-evo-v1.7.0.1.img Then move it to the root of your SD card and rename it "recovery.img"
Step 14. Still know how to use terminal emulator? Open it up and type in these commands.
Code:
[B]su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img[/B]
You now have full root access as well as a legit recovery.
If you want to flash a ROM or the newest radio and you don't know how to do that, there's already guides for that. So I won't include that in my tutorial, just click here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710513

Great Work!!
Wow, great work!! Seems easy enough to me. I have a quick question as i haven't rooted yet and don't know all it entails.
First, you say after this method that we have a "legit recovery"...does that mean if i hard reboot, that there is a rooted, nand unlocked image you put there already that will flash with a hard reset? And if so, what image did you use? (or is it exactly the same as stock but rooted)
Second, some of the other quides state we need to root, then unlock, then flash a custom recovery...it looks as if you have all 3 steps included right?
Finally, is there anything else you recommend i do after i complete root using your method?? I am looking forward to maximizing this phone!!
Thanks for this guide!!! Can't wait to try it out.

Legit, as in the most legit recovery on the scene, that being Amon_RA's.
Yup, got all three covered in that order.
Here's a link that shows you an in-depth guide on how to flash ROM's and what-have-you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710513
No problem, man. Let me know how it goes for ya'.
Does this method still work with the latest OTA patch on 6/28/10?
Aren't you supposed to have Superuser Permissions after flashing the first ROM?
and you do get super permissions after you flash a CUSTOM rom....
what's your definition of 'CUSTOM'? This isn't my first time rooting, I unrooted lastnight and decided to try this method to see if it would work. I know for a fact that during the original rooting process the first PC36IMG you flash, you have Superuser permissions. And the second one that is flashed is the ROM to unlock NAND. However, doing this method, after flashing the first PC36IMG, I do not have Superuser permissions
However, it does seem that this method works. So I'm happy. It's good to know that I don't have to rely on a computer to root my phone now. Now the only thing I need to do, is figure out how to UNroot my phone without a computer.
Android believer, did you update to the ota update yesterday? Do you know if this works with the ota v1.47.651.1?

I would assume it doesn't, as this is still toastcfh's method of rooting except it's done without a computer.
@ neckface
Hope you're not tired of hearing from me. First, thanks mass for this.
You say this is Toasts method without computer. I'm on the orig stock ROM, no 1.47 update. I WANT to do the update (for better battery mainly). I want to do whitslacks method. He says you need eng hboot 76.2000. He says use Toasts part 2 to get that.
Should I : use this to get eng hboot, then go to whitslacks for the 1.47 update? You seem to have a pretty good grip on this, so I thought I'd ask your opinion.
(if this is still Toastcfhs method, are these links to the same files he has posted? Meaning, will this get me eng-Hboot 76.2000? )
Thanks a lot.
anybody
Really interested in this. Anyone have success with this from 1.32 SW, and does it give you hboot 76.2000 ?
Thanks in advance.

OK i must be the dumb one
I have already used the "Unrevoked method" so I thought I could just skip to the Nand unlock. Now the phone(EVO) will not allow me access to my sdCard...and..will not read when I plug it up to my USB PC(windows) instead of it coming up as android like it use to it comes up as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM(new found hardware wizard)....and the phone can only charge when the phone is powered off. Its like the usb is not responding and I can not have access to the SD card via teh device..i need advice
Thank you
Thank you,
I don't know if it was the wrong recovery.img or what, but I could not do a nand unlock. This worked great and did it all off the phone..... Awsome

Getting files onto the root of the drive

I'm trying to install cyanogenmod on my G Tablet, but I can't figure out how to get files onto the root of the drive, specifically the update.zip and recovery folder.
I've successfully rooted it using z4root, thinking that would give me root access to the files - but not so...
So, I'm at an impasse. I can't move files from the sdcard folder, nor the sdcard2 folder into the root folder.
How can I get the needed files there?
Thanks!
they need to be in sdcard not root. at least it is where mine go
edit not sure with cyanogen. you may need a different file manager to place them in the root directory
try using ghost commander, it lets me move files around. otherwise plug it into a pc and move the files that way?

Ghost Commander is giving me the error, "File not accessible" when trying to copy it from sdcard to / (I assume this is the same as the linux filesystem?)
Edit: I've gotten it to give me root access, I'm just having trouble getting files to transfer now. It tells me that things transfer, but I'm not seeing them in the file system. I'll keep messing with it though.

You only need to put the update zip file on the main directory ( /sdcard ) not the root directory which is just ( / )
Then flash the update zip via recovery mode.
Be sure to wipe data and cache first if you are flashing over another rom, which it sounds like you are.

I just figured that out And this is my very first flash, so I'm entirely inexperienced with this.
I've just done the update.zip portion, now I'm moving onto the next step as detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I was originally just going to flash with ROM Manager, but it force closes when I open it now, so I'll just follow this guide.

[Guide] Extracting .apk files from your Installed Apps

Ok, so the story behind this mini-tutorial is that I upgrade their phones periodically, as part of the upgrade process I have to wipe the phones and a nandroid backup doesn't always work.
Titanium Back Up is another option, But sometime i really would like to extract the .apk files from the Apps downloaded from Market.
Hence, I had to figure out a way to extract the .apk files from my phone so I could install them on theirs.
Here's how it's done:
There are two ways of extracting .apk files from your device:
Using a file manager like "EStrongs File Manager" or "ASTRO File Manger" (downloadable from the Market), or
Manually extracting .apk files through the Android SDK.
Method #1 - Using a file manager​Prerequisite: Rooted device
Using ES File Manager
1) Open ES File Manager
2) Click on the menu button of your device
3) Click on "Manager"
4) Click on "App Manager"
5) Long press on app you want to extract
6) Click on "backup"
7) Extracted .apk files will be placed on the "backups" directory of your sd card
Using ASTRO
1) Open ASTRO File Manager
2) Click on the menu button of your device
3) Click on "tools"
4) Click on "Application Manager/Backup"
5) Choose apps to backup and click on "backup" to finish
6) Extracted .apk files will be placed on the "backups" directory of your sd card
Method #2 - Using the Android SDK​
Prerequisites:
- Rooted phone
- Android SDK
- Android USB driver
To extract a .apk file from your device using the Android SDK:
1) Plug your “Rooted” Android device into your computer via the included USB cable.
2) From your adb command line (usually C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\) type “adb shell“ and press enter
3) Switch to root user, type “su“ and press enter
4) type “cd data/app“ and press enter
5) List all the installed apk files, type “ls“ and press enter (find the one you want to extract)
In another command window, pull one of the files on to your computer by typing:
“adb pull /data/app/application.apk name.apk” and press enter
Example:
“adb pull data/app/com.mauri.aplikeishon.apk aplikeishon.apk”
You can find the extracted .apk files in the /tools/ directory of your SDK (usually C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\)
Man the Sensation General forum is on fire with good post right now, this is the third one I have read in 45 minutes. I would have hit the thanks button but I am out of thanks right now. I just hope people do not use this for piracy.
That will be really useful for me, but wouldn't it be easier to use App2zip?

Easier Method
Why not just use a root file manager and navigate to the file and copy it?
root>data>app
- tom
or just use Titanium Backup... haha
Some backup apps like Android Assistant also allows to create .apk from installed apps
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5hZHZhbmNlZHByb2Nlc3NtYW5hZ2VyIl0.
tnx dude
it was helpful for unrooted phones.
"Share apps" also do this
Mobogenie
Well years have passed and android has now embarked on the L journey but I recently saw this post and remembered i too had the need to backup the apps on my phone so I used a function of the desktop version of the mobogenie software.:good:
You can use my this tool to extract apk file
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andatsoft.myapk.fwa
Its very light and fast.
How to extract apk files in Android
Here's how I extract apk files in android:
1. Download and install APK Extractor in your device. It is free, and is compatible in almost all of the Android devices. Another plus point is it does not even require root or anything to work.
2. After you have it installed, launch it. There you will see a list of apps which are in your device, which include the apps you’ve installed later, along with the system apps. Long press any app you want to extract (you can select multiple or all apps at once), and click on the extract option you see in the top. You will also have the option to share via Bluetooth or messaging.
3. You’re done, you will see the extracted apps as AppName_AppPackage_AppVersionName_AppVersionCode.apk, which will be saved in the path /sdcard/ExtractedApks/ by default.

First Port to the Cube T7 Phablet.

After trying and trying and failing, I have finally figured out a way to port a rom to the Cube T7.
This has proven the only method (in my experience) to work. All the standard methods have failed
each time.
WARNING!!!!! THIS COULD BRICK OR DAMAGE YOUR PHONE
YOU ARE TRYING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE!!!!
Things you need.
latest Spftool
and the Rom package
NOTE:You need to know that you can't just flash the package I put together. You will
need to use the TWRP recovery that comes in the package to transfer file from your external sd to
the system folder and so forth. Also the proper permission to set.
Step 1: Flashing the images.
I've already pulled the correct img from each folder and put it together for you.
The only thing that you will need to do is extract the folder and use the spf tool to
install the firmware.
Note** In order to keep the 3.97 app storage, I've had to make sure to use the
Spf tool to do a full format except for the bootloader.
Step 2: Repairing the Rom
In the rar package, I included all the files need to fix the rom so
it will work smoothly on your phone. The files can be located in
the "system" folder which will need to be copied to your external sdcard
At this point you will already have flash the images and turn on the phone.
You will notice that the after you turn it on, you will get a warning that says "Cpu overheating"
or at least to that affect. This is not true by the way, this is from the fact the tp settings are off
from the original rom. Either way the warning will force boot your phone which again is fine.
Once this happens you will need to go to recovery.
Once in recovery make sure that you go ahead and mount your
system partition.
With this done you will be able to go to /system/etc/.tp
This folder contains the files that control the thermal manager for
the rom. You want to delete this folder. YES DETELE IT!!!
Once deleted, go to the system folder that you should have copied to your
external Sdcard. You need to copy /system/etc/tp to the exact location that you
just deleted the original.
Once you've done this you will need to set the permissions for the folder and the
files contained. The folder needs to be set to 0755 and the files inside need to be set to 0644.
Once done its best to go ahead and use the recovery to flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip to root your device before
restarting. Once restarted you will need to use root explorer or es explorer root function to
copy all the files to there correct locations and set their permissions. Each file is in its corresponding
folder as it should be in the system partition. All you will need to do is copy and past from the folder on the external and
paste to the same folder in the system partition. For those that may not know, all files will be set to 0644/rw--r--r-- and folders that you copy over will be 0755/rwxr-xr-x (if your using root explorer, just un check the group and others on the "Write" permissions.
Whats not working?
I can't figure out how to get the camera to working.
I've used standard tuts to try and copy the right files or libs
but not luck as of yet. If anyone figures out a way please share!!!
Also, if you have the fold case, the screen does not come on when you
open the fold. Also when double tapping the screen, this does not take it out of sleep
mode. From what I've seen those are the only things that dont work. If you see something
else, please report it to this thread.
Also in the package you will find the Carliv 3.3 recovery version for our phone.
Thanks to kushyree from needrom.com for building it for us.
He also has been assisting me in trying to port other roms to our phone. We owe him a lot of thanks.
Let me know if you guys need any help with this. I will do the best I can to try and help out. Enjoy.
