i've looked around this forum for hours..there is a tooon of info on here and im just tired of trying to sort through this.
first off, i recently updated my captivate to froyo 2.2 and lost everything i had on my previous rooted 2.1. before i did the froyo update i made a complete backup with titanium backup. My question is, can I recover that back up on 2.2 if i reroot my phone and run titanium?
if so, whats the best way to root the captivate on froyo 2.2?
sorry for the noooob questions, but all the information on here is a little overwhelming. so i appreciate any information you guys can give me with as little flaming as possilbe
thanks
I think all ROMs (2.2) are rooted since they are all custom made by devs. just install titanium backup and restore
I dont see any superuser permissions (or whatever its called) in my app drawer. And when i try to run titanium backup it wont work

Did you load a rom or just flash 2.2? If you loaded a rom made by a dev it would be rooted. As far as getting your stuff back all you need to do is use a one click root and run tibu. Or find any 2.2 rom and flash through cwm and run tibu.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
I just flashed the leaked version of 2.2. Do you happen to have a link to the one click root for 2,2. I found a couple threads on here. Thanks in advance

You can try z4 root from the market or try that gunmans thread for one click root in the dev section. Im in my phone so its not easy to give links.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Thanks man. I will do some looking. I appreciate the help

My opinion is go back to stock research custom roms
Use the Z4 from the market. Much less messy.

Here give this a shot. No promises though as I have only used 2.2 custom roms. Rename to update.zip, Copy to phone and reboot into recovery and reinstall packages

You can also use the Sideload Wonder Machine to install non-Market apps and rooting isn't necessary before hand.

Check the development section. There are plenty of threads on this. You will need to download a NANDROID of the 2.3.3 OTA, and restore to stock recovery using nVflash.
what is a nanadroid and where do I get it? I know how to use NvFlash...can you please provide some steps?
How did you even root? Lol
A NANDROID is a restore image, and nVflash is a program to flash recovery.

Ok...so can I get a Nandroid from NvFlash? I've used NvFlash..... BTW im using a rooted stock ROM from Xboarder...so how do I unroot it so I'll be able to send it back to T-Mobile and keep my warranty.

Thanks SO much.....the video really helps. I haven't done it yet though because that has the 2.2 firmware. Is there a 2.3 stock nandroid recovery?
This is pretty close. Thanks to Jboxer...

You got it. Be sure to give Jboxer a thanks. The guy lives in Thailand is up to his ass in water from the floods. Not sure how he finds the time to do all the stuff he does.
Ok. I did it, and I don't see superuser anymore. Thanks. So this is all? I can receive OTA updates and send it in to T-Mobile?
Anyone know of a non-destructive root method for ICS? My wife and I are swapping phones. Mine is rooted and all but hers isn't and I want to make a Titanium backup of all her stuff.
So far the only method I know of to root is via OEM unlock and flashing clockwork recovery. Then installing su via CWR. The OEM unlock erases everything.

I believe you can root it without unlocking the boot loader using SuperOneClick but I could be wrong. Either way worth a try

Move the TitaniumBackup folder to your PC before starting. Don't forget your pictures folder too!
just copy your entire SDcard to your computer , and then after unlocked bootloader copy it back
Thanks guys, but that doesn't restore any apps or their data.
I'll try the superoneclick.

My understanding is that you can unroot as needed, so I wouldn't consider rooting the S "destructive". There are instructions to be found easily that explain how to unroot your phone.
Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant -- disregard the above.
Can't you back up most stuff using MyBackup?

I think he means the wipe accompanying a bootloader unlock as being destructive.

Did superoneclick work for you? I'm also looking for a way to root my phone without wiping it with the possibility of unrooting it again after.

Actually I found another program that works even better (imo). It's called RootUnlocker and it worked for both the Nexus S running 4.0.3 and the LG Optimus 2x running 2.2. However, it didn't work for my Acer a500 but there's currently no method to root 3.2 on it. You need to down grade first.

Edit: Correction, it's not called root unlocker, but rather Unlock Root (http://www.unlockroot.com).

Due to the type of root available. Only a Odin pre rooted tar, there is not much to do. There is no clockwork recovery so an nandroid back up is not possible. The root is going to require a fresh install because you are basically replacing the entire os with a new rooted copy. If anything happens and u want to go back just reflash. My backup pro or titanium seems to be the only way to save and carryover data.
Hey.
My phone: Htc One X is rooted, and a software update just arrived, if i update, will i loose the root?
Or will it in worst chase get bricked?
I regulary update over the air.
Will this remove the root? and must i unlock bootloader and all that stuff i messed with over again if i need to root again?
I wouldn't do that if I were you, you could loss root and have to start all over, and maybe brick your phone, I would wait and see if a dev for this phone could make the update into a Rom, that would be the safe way to go

Ok, but if i want to unroot, and i manage to unroot it, would it then be able to update? or will it then brick?
Cause i like to have my devices up to date.

Ok, what is the most simple way to unroot?
Is it just to delete SU folders and root folders? or must i do alot of CMD flashing?
Superone click, or flash a ruu wich is a completly stock Rom with stock recovery

So wait...let me get this straight. You got a $600 phone and decided to root it. You had no clue what you can and can't do with root up to and including an update. And you rooted your phone without knowing how to get back to stock. I am guessing you don't know how to get back to stock because you used a one click root method. WTF would you root $600 phone for if you had no clue what you were doing, and obviously incapable of reading how to reverse what you have done? This is the problem with one click root methods. You get no understanding of the Android system at all. Can I ask, what was the reason you decided to root??
i did not use oneclickroot, but the tool that xda has as an all in one tool for one x.
I rooted to get the fraps smiliar app screencast but it does not have support for tegra 3...
So yes, if i get it back to its original state, i will not attend any more root anymore.
So please, help me get it back to stock painless

Ok, so to get it back to the state when i got the phone and to be able to update painlessly, i have to flash it with a backup stock ROM?
Bump.
