In the forum search look fo "z4root". I used it to root my epic . It took a few uninstall-reinstall-reboot-run-repeat cycles but I am successfully rooted and didn't even need a PC
Epic is as Epic does
Thanks ill try that.

I used one click lag fix to root mine

I tried the z4root and another one click root I found on the forums nneither of them worked. Probably because im running 2.2. I found a one click root using a computer so I think that will be my next attempt

Hi all. I'm new to this. I'm looking for a fool proof way to root my hero. Not sure if it has been rooted before since I bought it used. I would like to know the best and easier root method out there plus the easiest way to load roms.

It has not been activated yet. Does it have to be activated to root it? This is my first official post here as well.

Hi,
I am using a Captivate not rooted. If something goes wrong with it and I use a market backup app for NOT rooted phones...
1) When I restore the apps will they appear in the Market under "My Apps" and will it detect updates when available?
2) Will it preserve the settings in each of my apps?
I have so many apps on my Captivate but just scared that something might go wrong and it'll be a pain to restore everything from scratch.
Thank you.

Which app backups apps without root again?
Which app would you use for non rooted phone?
I know of only two good ways to keep everything and they are only good for root users.
As far as keeping your settings... again the only way to do that would be titanium backup which needs root (but does sync to dropbox)
I have deal with building my phone from the ground up with out TB or App backup....
If you find anything that works for you with out rooting I would love to know.
Rooting for the most part is easy and safe (if you not trying to do coustom ROMS) and very easy to unroot if you ever need to return the phone to at&t. I have dealt with it a few times... if you have any questions feel free to ask..
I'm not all about the ROMs but being able to backup and also install non market apps... like the amazon appstore... with out a computer is very nice
Good Luck
PM me & let me know how it goes

Yeah you guys are absolutely right it seems like TB and others all require root. I was thinking of using apps like ES Explorer or Astro which has an app backup feature. I guess those don't work the same?
My Captivate is working like a beast right now and it scares me to think if something goes wrong then I'll have to spend hours setting up everything again.

I would recommend rooting the phone, then you can use any backup method you want.

Alright I am going to use z4root to root my Captivate on Rogers then use TB to backup.
Z4root seems to be easiest. Am I missing any steps?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using XDA Premium App
Z4root does not work for the Captivate. If you have a PC the best and easiest way to root is from XDA called Super One Click. I ahec used it to root and un root more than my fair share of time. It is simply and easy to use. And with just one more click it lets you do the off market app install thay I was talking about before. Which you would have to sideload the z4root anyway.
Good Luck

Thank you for all your help. I will check out SuperOneClick.
I was reading the z4root thread and it said it works for all variants of Galaxy S so I thought that would apply to the Captivate.
I never had any trouble installing non market apps maybe because Rogers in Canada is different from AT&T.
Thanks again.

Lucky for you to have Rogers... but just wondering how everything went?

you can backup without root using "mybackup" its free and its in the market, and you can select to backup the app and the data, but if you want to root the "superoneclick" is the best!!

Have not had time to root yet but soon hopefully.
Thanks, maybe I'll try MyBackup first before root.

Just tried Z4Root and it didn't work on my Captivate. Used it cuz it seemed like the simplest.
Going to use MyBackup but too bad it doesn't restore market links unless you are rooted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using XDA Premium App
Yeah... I had the same thing happen to me... the super one click works great... all you need is a pc and be able to follpw simple directions... so I think you're good on that one
Good Luck

As the title suggests,
I'm after the apk for the on board Ebook app from the galaxy tab.
I recently sold mine and forgot to try and extract it for my new device.
Would anyone be kind enough to supply it for me?
Obviously if this breaches any kind of copyright then smack my hands and tell me no!
If you can, there's a big thank-you in it for you.
TIA.

Try using root explorer and copying the APK to the system/app/ with permissions rw-r--r--
otherwise from that i don't know!
ebook from titanium backup
maybe, you could use my backup files from my titaniumbackup directory. just extract it into you device and try to restore... im not sure, but i think it is a way.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Im away from home until Friday, I will try the methods youve suggested as soon as im back.

I have been looking for a way to root my droid pro since i got it. I am having problems on other forums.
Is there a wiki or a thread that somebody can direct me to that will show me how to downgrade to another android version and root my phone upgrade the version and keep root?
I am not asking for a one click method or anything lazy like that i will spend 3 hours typing commands into terminal on unix if that is what it takes to root my phone.
Even if the guaranteed method you point me to has a 95% chance of bricking my phone i will still try it i am determined to get this thing rooted.
Thanks for all help in advance.
