Problem with Rooting - Captivate General

Sorry I am a n00b and I am having so much trouble rooting my Captivate. I have tried at least three different methods of rooting it, the one click rooter, the Lagfix, and the adb way with multiple update.zips all to no avail. Finally I did used unleashthebeastv0.2.zip and it almost worked but now it always says "The application Superuser Permissions (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." everytime I try to use an app that requires rooting. My phone is in USB debugging mode or whatever too so I don't know what the problem is. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

Can't Root G2x - SuperOneClick Freezes

Hello, I can't seem to root my G2x. Whenever I run SuperOneClick it freezes on the step "Pushing psneuter..."
I installed the LG Drivers and I have Debugging Mode enabled. ADB works fine, I can do "adb devices" and it shows up.
Any help? Thanks
Did you disable your firewall and antivirus? I've been able to do it 4 times with no problems. I'm always pretty impressed with myself LOL
I just tried it again after disabling firewall and antivirus. Still freezes at "Pushing psneuter..."
::EDIT:: I decided to try it on my laptop and I got it working. I don't know what could have caused the problem with my desktop... Oh well, thanks for the help

[Q] Superoneclick freeze problem!!!!

Someone please Help ME!!!
I recently downloaded superoneclick onto my computer and it seems to be running fine, i have no problems with the waiting for device part (most of the time) but then i get to root step #6 and all of a sudden it just stays on the "Getting Mount Path" part, it hasnt moved for several minutes. is there something wrong with the phone and/or application and is it safe for me to unplug my phone?

Charge won't connect to computer

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times and I have made sure my computer is set to automatically download drives for new devices. But despite all this I can not get my computer to recognize my Droid Charge. Every time my computer tries to instal the drivers for the phone it either stops with out doing any thing or it ends with an error. It keeps saying that the device has malfunctioned and Windows can't recognize it.
I'm also getting a code 10 error - Windows says the device cannot start
Try the basic troubleshooting methods..
Try different cables, Try different computers/laptop, Try different drivers (i realized i had the wrong drivers the whole time)
Eliminate possible causes of the problem.

I tried two different cables and three different USB ports and two different drivers and none of that helped.
I don't know what the problem was but it finally fixed itself. I booted into download mode and inserted the USB cable for about the 9000th time and it suddenly started working again.
No it started doing the same thing this morning. I tried connecting my Captivate & it's doing the same thing but my mp3 player connects fine. I think I might reinstall Windows and see if that fixes the problem.
I think you can only use the OEM USB to Odin the phone. I would also suggest using a USB port that is in the back of the computer. Make sure it's one of the motherboard mounted ones. Not an add on USB.
Also make sure the phone is in USB debugging mode. [settings/applications/development--usb debugging]
Also try installing the drivers as admin.
Sometimes virus scanner might interfere with software operation. Although I've never had to do this, try temporarily disabling it when trying to install drivers. Also when running Odin.
But what about download mode? Does Odin see it on a com port if you connect it?
Besides drivers did you install everything like the samsung utility? Did you check in device manager of windows to see if an error there appears and maybe a fix? Ive heard someone else post about this. Did you disable usb debug on the phone and make sure mass storage is set?
Instead of doing your computer it would be easier to do a factory reset on your phone or revert back to stock in recovery.

OK and one last thing to try as it is easier than re installing windows. Wipe cache and dalvik, fix permissions. re start.
I have used different cables besides the samsung and it worked. Also my phone isnt working all of a sudden. In cwm I went and mounted system . wiped all cache, fixed permission. Re started and it worked.
LOL after typing all this I see it does it for all devices. Could you try and restore windows to a previous date that worked then re install the drivers and see if it works?

It was just working a few days ago and I was using a different cable.
I tried using one of the back USB ports and it worked once & then when I tried it again it had quit working again.
The phone's in USB debugging mode.
I install everything in administrator mode
I'm running without a virus scan app right now (Yeah I know I know...)
I was using Bit Defender but the piece of garbage deleted a few files that were completely harmless like one of the files to root the Epic 4G.
The one really strange thing is that every time I plug the phone into the computer it has to look for ,download ,and reinstall the drivers for the phone and most of the time it fails with an error. I'm not sure why it's doing this but I really think that's where the problem is. If I unplug my printer or scanner Windows doesn't have to reinstall the drivers for them when I plug them back in.
My Cowon mp3 player works perfectly fine using the same ports so the ports are working...

Nope it isn't seen in download mode either

Haven't tried that yet
Did you check in device manager of windows to see if an error there appears and maybe a fix?
There's an exclamation mark in the device manager. I've tried telling it to update the drivers from there but Windows keeps telling me that the best driver is already installed
Ive heard someone else post about this. Did you disable usb debug on the phone and make sure mass storage is set?
I've tried disabling and re-enabling USB debugging more times than I can remember

I'll try that one & report back

I would rather not.That would delete some of the apps I just installed. If I'm gonna have to reinstall them any way I'd might as well just reinstall Windows. Also I might revert to a time when I still had Bit Defender installed and I would rather reinstall Windows than deal with that over paranoid crapware

***********************************************************
Tried wiping dalvic cache battery stats & fixed permissions and it still isn't working. I tried uninstalling it in device manager and scanned for hardware changes and it still comes up as an "unknown device"
The only thing that happened was that Microsoft offered to install the software for my mouse that I had never bothered to install.
I'm really thinking that there is some kind of problem with my Windows installation.Something has become corrupted or broken.
I don't usually use Windows update and I have been using it extensively this go-round. Maybe Windows Update broke something (Wouldn't be the first time!).
Ok one last idea and might be crazy. Didnt see if you tried it or not. Cant hurt but do phone as factory reset of the phone and wipe the cache. Could something be installed on the phone that makes it not be recognized for some reason? Really just throwing stuff out there as it is easier than installing windows again.
That or like you said virus scanner or something is screwing with your computer.

Nah didn't work. Looks like I get to reinstall Windows. I hope that fixes whatever it is cause I am fresh out of ideas.
Yeah all out of ideas. Atleast everybody tried.
This is almost related. I spent ten days trying to figure out how to make the AllShare app work. I finally got it done, but I tinkered with my computer so much that when I finished, I could no longer restore to a previous version.
I had never used that feature on this computer, but I figured that I could undo all the crap I did and start over from the day I started tinkering if I restored to the day I started. Every restore point failed!
I went to this forum and asked why restore did not work.

I was ready, like you, to re-install Windows, but someone walked me through how to get it working correctly. I thought the phone was complicated, but Windows 7 leaves the phone in the dust when it comes to complicated.
Maybe if you go on there and post a thread about a device not being recognized you will get some help. Tons of good tutorials there too.

I feel the exact opposite. Most of Windows 7 is like an open book to me.In fact this is the first problem I've ever had with Windows 7 that I couldn't fix on my own

Dealing with rooting & installing ROMs on the Charge on the other hand had me shaking in my boots. Nowhere nearly as easy or simple as it is on the Epic 4G!
