Help with rooting using SuperOneClick v1.7 - Captivate General

first off, let me start by saying I AM A COMPLETE n00b at ALL things root.
with that being said, I have a question-
So yesterday i decided to upgrade to official 2.2 update via kies mini.
so far, so good.
As I sat there playing with different Launchers, I figured i would take the plunge and Root my captivate so i could use custom ROMS as i heard they are EXCELLENT.
So I downloaded SuperOneClick v1.7-unmounted SD card-Turned on USB debugging...basically all the steps That i have read, and watched videos about.
When I click the "root" button I get an error message that reads
"Unhandled exception has occured in your application. if you click to continue, the aplication will ignore this error and attempt to continue, if you click quit, the aplication will close immediatley"
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I have absolutley no idea what to do, I would greatly appreciate any help...thanks!

Are you looking to just flash rom, or are you looking to backup all your apps first
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App

im not too sure what it is your asking..like i said, im new haha so forgive me
im looking to root it so i can use ROMS and stuff.. ive read around that installin drivers is a must...also having issues with that..

Someone help me here....check your .net framework version. You must be outdated. just Google it.
or click here: http://www.microsoft.com/net/download.aspx
that should do it.

Take your time.
1) you do not need to root to flash a rom
2) if you want to back up all your apps you need to root
3) having drivers installed, I would not flash till you figure this out, what have you done? Windows pc correct?
4) know what build your phone is, located under battery, white sticker, left side, something like 1008.

thank you for the .net link, I downloaded that and everything went okay.
the build number is 1007. when im installing the samsung android drivers it downloads and says its working fine.
but if i try to do anything else like install the pdanet client, it says the samsung ADB driver isnt working..
MAN is this stuff confusing haha
I appreciate you guys help
idk if it helps, but im running 64 bit windows 7

....so do you still get the JIT error when you run SuperOneClick? did the .net update fix that?
Ensure you are in debugging mode if you need to be.
perhaps you had issues on driver install. Try uninstalling drivers for the device and reinstalling. Maybe you got a bad download.
Uninstall the "USB Composite Device" via the device manager. then reinstall.
I use to have to uninstall my phone, then plug it in and let it automatically reinstall drivers everytime I plugged in my phone (can't remember for the life of me what I did to fix it though....I think it was just a set of bad driver I downloaded.....)

Things you should research
Odin
Three button combo to recovery
Download mode
clockwork recovery
With the drivers, can you mount your phone to your pc and transfer
Take your time, the roms are not going anywhere
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App

yes i still get the error. I just uninstalled, and reinstalled composite device, and now about to uninstall drivers for phone and reinstall. thanks for the tip
so if i wanted to use Cognition or any of those fancy roms, a Root is in order, yes?

Depends on the ROM. Many require Clockwork installed, which I believe requires root, but there are a few that don't, but it doesn't matter if you can't get the drivers to play nice. That should be step one. You might try searching for different drivers. Search either this forum or Samsung.com. Either one should provide the correct drivers. I seem to remember having a few hang ups with Win7 64bit here as well.....wish I would have remembered or even documented my process.....damn alcohol.....

Drivers
You can get the Win 7 x64 drivers on softpedia's website. I tried to post a link but the forum wouldn't let me since I'm a new poster Just google it.
I'd start there.
Good Luck!

No, first fix your driver issue, then flash back to stock jf6, then install clockwork mod, then install your rom through clockwork mod. Everything is outlined here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364 skip step 2 since root isn't needed, the rom is already rooted.
If you wouldn't of installed 2.2 this would of been much easier by simply installing cwm and then installing a rom.

Can not get Android 64 bit USB driver to instal

I am running vista ulimate 64 bit. I have the Samsung moment with Android 1.5. I can not get the usb driver to install on my computer.
I downloaded the android 64 bit usb driver from the sdk developer site, as well as an alternate download I found from one of the threads in this forum.
Followed these steps:
1) Type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" at an admin command prompt
2) Reboot
I have test mode in the corners...
When I point windows to the proper directory, it is not able to install the driver with the following:
Problem Event Name: PnPDriverNotFound
Architecture: x64
Hardware Id: USB\VID_04E8&PID_681C&REV_0222
OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
HELP!!???
What do you mean by the first step, I have never seen that before in any adb guide? Just go to device manager, uninstall the current driver under adb interface and install the 64 bit driver.
are these the drivers you tried to install for your phone?
What are you trying to do on your phone, just see the SD Card?
I've tried several times to get these drivers to upload here and couldn't so use this link
Couldn't link either, good gosh
He said something about the SDK so I assumed he was talking about ADB...
@elephant007:
Hi,
My Windows7 is not detecting following drivers:
CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM)
CDC ACM Data
XDA
I am trying to connect my DIAM100 (Running 2.2 Froyo) as a USB Storage.
If you have the drivers can u email them to me?

[Q] Not able to install the SDK packages, coz SDK blinks for a sec and then closes.

So, I am sorry, if this is a stupid question, I am novice here. I am trying to run SDK manager on windows 7, 32-bit os. It's already installed. Whenever I try running SDK manager, It flashes for a sec and disappears. When I tried executing android.bat from tools, what I got was :
C:\Program Files\Android\tools>android

And yes, I am having eclipse 3.2 already installed on my system. PLzz help................................., somebody......................, anybody.
General tip
If you double click some techie program on Windows and see it just appear and disappear like that, it usually means that this program is meant to be run in a command line window.
So go to All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and open that
Then go to wherever that program is installed and run it from there.
Oh, and note that Android development needs the JDK, not the JRE version of Java, The JDK contains all the extra parts needed for Java software development in general, including key parts needed by the Android SDK.
While the JRE can be downloaded from www java com , the JDK is only available from java.sun.com .
P.S.
Sorry for not making proper links, but I have not made enough posts to allow them yet.

[Q] Restore broken USB debugging on Xperia Neo 2.3.4?

I've tinkered with Android development a few months ago. I used the Android SDK v12 in Eclipse. Stuff worked then, on two separate machines. One Debian Squeeze/AMD64, one Ubuntu 10.04/i386. I did not reinstall/wipe/"repair"/mess up anything on these two PCs, promise.
I was offered an OTA firmware upgrade for my Xperia Neo (MT15i) a month or so ago. I accepted and got Android version 2.3.4 now (build number 4.0.1.A.0.283).
Now when I plug it in, the phone immediately pops up the "USB Debugging connected" notification, as it should be. Because that's certainly enabled.
But I can't select the phone for running my in-development apps from within Eclipse anymore. The phone does show up in the device chooser, but it's all question marks and N/A and I can't select it as a target. Picture attached.
Console says
Code:
07:53:20 E/DDMS: insufficient permissions for device
com.android.ddmlib.AdbCommandRejectedException: insufficient permissions for device
at com.android.ddmlib.AdbHelper.setDevice(AdbHelper.java:736)
Things I've tried after discovering this problem include rebooting my phone a dozen times with different USB Debugging settings, rebooting it while plugged into the development machine, rebooting the development machine, toggling the option while plugged in, ending processes on the phone I thought might interfere (SE LiveWare helper, SE USB extensions ...), running 'android update adb', upgrading to the Android SDK r13, redownloading all the SDK platforms and platform tools and so on and so forth. Nothing changed. The DDMS keeps looking as pictured, and the error message stayed the same, too.
What to try next? I really don't want to have to root my phone. USB debugging is supposed to (and did) work on stock firmware. Even if I wanted to root, it does seem complicated and risky with this model/OS version.
PS: Yeah, I've tried to post this to Xperia Neo=>Android Development but the forum software wouldn't let me.
Solved it.
Had to do this:
Code:
cd andorid-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools
sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
sudo ./adb devices
DDMS and Eclipse deployment now work again, running either as normal user (no root privileges).

USB GPS On Tablet

Hi,
I’ve been working on trying to connect my USB GPS dongle (Chipset: Ublox 6) to my tablet through USB OTG Cable. Since my tablet isn’t popular (Can’t find on the forum’s list), I had to do it myself.
(My knowledge about Linux isn’t that good (I’m a high school student who is on summer vacation), please forgive me if I made a mistake )
1.Ublox said the driver for Linux is cdc-acm, so I downloaded from a website and tried to install the kernel module (cdc-acm.ko) through insmod, but a vermagic error came up, said that the module’s version is 3.0.8 and mine is 3.0.8+, I tried using insmod –f , still no good luck.
2.Then I tried to modify the module’s vermagic with a HexEditor, install it again, but I got a “Segmentation falut” error.
3.Then I tried to use “busybox modprobe cdc-acm”, but it says “cannot parse modules.dep”, so I tried to create the folder “/lib/modules/3.0.8+” manually (I know this could be silly), then “busybox depmod”, finally run “busybox modprobe cdc-acm” again, but still the same error.
4.Then I remember that when I plug in the device, dmesg said
“usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using….”
“usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1546, idProduct=01a6”
Then nothing happened.
5.At last, I found out that I have “usb_modeswitch.d” in /etc
And my device profile isn’t listed there, but how could I know my device’s profile?
I know the vendor, the product, but how about the “MessageContent”?
By the way, what’s the difference between “DefaultVendor” and “TargetVendor”, “DefaultProduct” and “TargetProduct”
I know the post may be too long,
But to sum up, Is it possibly going to work if I create my Device Profile and everything will work out?
I still doesn’t have “cdc-acm.ko” install yet. (Though I already put it in /system/lib/modules)
By the way, I don’t have the folder /dev/ttyusb0 /dev/usb/tty0
I only have /dev/bus/usb/001 with nothing in it.
Sorry again for my bad Linux knowledge.
Thanks A Lot!!!

[Q] Rooting Chinese Spreadtrum Phone w/ Android 4.0.3

So,
I've bought an Samsung Galaxy S3 replica (read: fake, and i want only to root it no flash it):
Model number: S930
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: DM_BASE_12A_W12.28_P1|sc8810_modem|07-13-2012 16:42:35
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #3
Software version: T300_JYYS930_C3BOM_MLB_V6.6.5_20121105
Hardware version: 1.1.0
CPU: Spreadtrum
When I first plugged it my notebook (Win7 32bit) I've got in the device manager:
Other Devices
- Spreadtrum Phone
- Spreadtrum Phone
- Spreadtrum Phone
I'm trying to root it so I started my research, afts thousands of tests, I discoverd that
Other Devices
- Spreadtrum Phone >> Android Composite ADB Interface (driver instaled with Android SDK)
- Spreadtrum Phone >> SCI General U2S(AT) (COM3) (Google Search: Spreadtrum Drivers)
- Spreadtrum Phone >> SCI Vendor U2S(DIAG) (COM4) (Google Search: Spreadtrum Drivers)
So after all the yellow marks disappeard i've tried almost everything to root it:
- QQPhoneManeger for Android (which recognise the device like: Sprd S930 - allow me to access my "device root" but I can't change anything there, not even copy from it)
- UnlockRoot (which worked in my previous phone MTP65XX also an android replica)
- Odin
- PDA Net
- SparkyRoot
- Z4Root
- Poot-debug + Ministro II
- Instant-root
- Gingerbreak
- OneClickRoot
- SuperOneClick
And recently i've tried the DooMLoRD ROOT v18 - And I've only got:
adb is out of date. killing...
*daemon estarted succefully*
and nothing more, so i've went to search some more, and I've learned how to verify if adb recognise the device.
I added the C:\android-sdk\plataform-tools to my system path and tried the commands
adb devices
my answer was:
*daemon not runing. startin it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully*
List of devices attached:
....
Nothing, so i've tried
adb shell
my answer was:
error: device not found
So I re-checked all the drivers, unistalled and re-installed.
tried again same thing...
So now i'm stuck, all the solutions that i've fonund for the problem is now coverd
Is there any way to solve it? Or any way to root my device that isn't listed? Or any driver that's better for my device than the one in Android SDK?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the english.
UPDATE!!

What I don't get is, if the windows system recognise my Android Composite ADB Interface, why the adb don't?
SOLVED!!!
I've made it. *so ****ing happy right now*

Hi everyone, I'm having the same problem with a similar phone, a S3 replica:
Model number: Z15A
Android version: 4.0
Baseband version: DM_BASE_12A_W12.28_P1|sc8810_modem|07-13-2012 16:42:35
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #3
Software version: T300_JYYS930_C3BOM_MLB_V6.6.5_20121105
Hardware version: 1.1.0
CPU: Spreadtrum
It appears in the Device Manager (Win7 64bit) as:
Other Devices
- Spreadtrum Phone
- Spreadtrum Phone
- Spreadtrum Phone
I tried installing the USB driver that comes with the Android SDK ( sdk\extras\google\usb_driver ) using "Update driver..." but it only says that Windows could not find a driver there ( maybe because of the 64bit OS? ).
I think i will try and install a Win7 32 bit somewhere just in case, but nevertheless, could you elaborate a bit the solution you found please? (mostly the driver part, as I cannot find how to get the device recognized by Windows)
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I, don't know if the trouble is because you have win 7 64bit, but I will say how i've made it.
Windows has already intalled the device as Spreadtrum with generic drives, so any other driver that you try to install tha isn't compatible with the ones windows associated with your device will be avaliated by the system as "no compatible with your device", so what you got to do is, uninstall this generics drivers so the "spreadtrum"s will be displayed with the yellow mark, and under the "other devices" section in the device manager, then, you install manually the spreadtrum drivers that you can find in searches in two of the "spreadtrum" devices (in the drivers i've found in google searches I've got 3 different drivers General, Vendor and Modem, but i've only used General and Vendor as the other "spreadtrum" device was an ADB interface and not a modem) and the other you also install manually but with the driver in the folder "usb_driver" in "android-sdk/extras/google".
Also, when you use "update driver" follow: Search in my computer> pick in a list> have a disc , then you search in the folders of android-sdk and of the spreadtrum drivers that you downloaded.
Hope it helps.
Just one more thing, i've made it with the root access but now my Play Store don't open... it opens loads a little and then close with (the com.android.vending stopped unexpectedly...
I've tried re-instal the native apk, factory reset, everything, bout nothing works :/
I had to re install all my aps via computer with the "adb install xxxx.apk. And every other aps work normally.
Happy holidays everyone.
If anyone have a clue of what to do, i'd like to try it

I got to get the drivers installed. I've got:
- Android Composite ADB Interface
- SCI General U2S(AT) (COM4)
- SCI Vendor U2S(DIAG) (COM3)
I tried some of the rooting methods you list (z4root, OneClickRoot, SuperOneClick,...) and finally DooMLoRD ROOT v18, but the problem is that my /system directory is Read-Only, so no way is anything working.
I don't kno how to proceed now (noob here ), but I'll keep you posted if I find any solution.
Happy holidays, and good luck!

Hi!
I'm trying to do this myself, but I can't seem to install the drivers properly. Did you use 64-bit windows 7? And which drivers did you use?
Cause I used "SPREADTRUM SCI-USB2Serial-version-1.5.6.1" which I found via Google search, and none of the drivers I found are not digitally signed. That means they won't install properly in win 64-bit.
I only get: SCI USB2Serial (COM3) and SciCmpst Diaog (COM4), and they are both still with the yellow exclamation mark.
Anyone got a good tip for me?
Thanks in advance

I've managed to install them on a 32-bit windows 7. Everything I tried on 64-bit just showed the yellow mark, although they where the x64 version drivers.
Regarding the rooting process, I followed this method (As I cannot post outside links yet, just Google: "Root Android 4.0 (Novo método) Atualizado x3") and it worked at last. It's written in portuguese but it's not too difficult to follow looking at the video.
I hope it helps a bit.
Now I was trying to install a custom CWM recovery, prior to install a custom ROM, but I really don't know which one should I use (nor CWM recovery nor ROM)
If someone can point me in any directions on how to continue, it would be great.

Hello,
I, don't know if the trouble is because you have win 7 64bit, but I will say how i've made it.
Windows has already intalled the device as Spreadtrum with generic drives, so any other driver that you try to install tha isn't compatible with the ones windows associated with your device will be avaliated by the system as "no compatible with your device", so what you got to do is, uninstall this generics drivers so the "spreadtrum"s will be displayed with the yellow mark, and under the "other devices" section in the device manager, then, you install manually the spreadtrum drivers that you can find in searches in two of the "spreadtrum" devices (in the drivers i've found in google searches I've got 3 different drivers General, Vendor and Modem, but i've only used General and Vendor as the other "spreadtrum" device was an ADB interface and not a modem) and the other you also install manually but with the driver in the folder "usb_driver" in "android-sdk/extras/google".
Also, when you use "update driver" follow: Search in my computer> pick in a list> have a disc , then you search in the folders of android-sdk and of the spreadtrum drivers that you downloaded.
Hope it helps.
Just one more thing, i've made it with the root access but now my Play Store don't open... it opens loads a little and then close with (the com.android.vending stopped unexpectedly...
I've tried re-instal the native apk, factory reset, everything, bout nothing works :/
I had to re install all my aps via computer with the "adb install xxxx.apk. And every other aps work normally.
Happy holidays everyone.
If anyone have a clue of what to do, i'd like to try it

I guess it won't be the same, but I was having problems with my Play Store also. It did not loaded anything, just giving "Unable to connect" problems, and it was solved (momentarily) uninstalling all updates. That's going back to Android Market, though it updates itself afterwards to Play Store again. You can do it in Applicatins > Manage Applications > Google Play Store, and push the button "Uninstall updates".
As I said, i think it's not the same issue, but I just wanted to share it, just in case.
Where to find the drivers?

Hi, Everyone!
I also have a Spreadtrum S930 phone. My problem is I can't even locate the SCI general and the SCI vendor drivers... Can somebody post a link or tell me where to find these drivers? Sorry... absolute noob here. Thanks.

You can find a them here for example ge.tt/8hWh71S/v/0 (it's a 7zip file).
Cheers.

Is this how you added your drivers in the .ini file? Also did you have problems loading the drivers because when I installed it (win 7 64bit) it says its unsigned and said something about having a problem installing it. so that when i installed it, it looks like the picture below. would be great if you could post a pic tutorial. btw i can run my adb anywhere since i configured it for fastboot but i still cant find my device. bummer.

In my case, at last I got a win 7 32bit, because I wasn't able to make it work on my 64bit.
I followed this tutorial (Google: "Root Android 4.0 (Novo método) Atualizado x3") to root it, which points to the drivers ( ge.tt/8hWh71S/v/0 ). Though this zip file has 64bit drivers, in my case they didn't work properly, I saw the same screen you post.
Regarding the .ini file, you should put only (I have that myself):
0x1782
In brief, I got the drivers, installed them on a win 7 32bit, and followed the tutorial above. Don't know which could be the problem with my 64bit system
I hope it helps.
Anyway, now I'm stuck with my system rooted. I don't know how to flash a CWM recovery image, nor how to flash a new ROM, because every app I tried to do it ( Mobile Odin, ROM Customizer, ROM Manager,... ) does not detect the phone, so it is unsupported and does not let me flash it .
If someone could help it would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks Sergimas. I havent tried with a 32 bit yet. I guess I'll borrow my friend's laptop for this and see if it works. BTW... with the .ini file, when you said i should only put "0x1782", that does mean that's the only hex code i need to place on the file and delete the rest? Appreciate much for your reply.
EDIT: So i finally got my adb recognize the device and was able to list the device id however when i used the doomlord and/or he portugese root, it said it wasnt able to root it.
EDIT: Lol so yeah. I dont know what I did but i was able to root my phone using the x64 files that sergimas gave and get this, I still have the yellow icons on both spreadtrum coms (general and vendor)! I mean its freakin yellow!
(If you right click on prorperties it still would show this error) " The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
Driver is not intended for this platform.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."
I think what I did was, rather than update the first spreadtrum line with google's own file via sdk, I used the composite device that came from "jungo". Then I loaded Doomlord and viola it granted me superuser access! And just when I was about to give up. Lmao.

Thanks but as you said yourself, it's not the same issue :/
I've made some discoveries regarding the problem.
After i've got the root access i removed some system apps that i wouldn't use or that i wanted update the system app.
These are the removed apps:
- Download Provider UI
- Email
- ES File Explorer
- My Favorites
- Playtalk
- Water Locker
- Sprd Note
After that the phone bricked, i've made a forced reboot via adb, and when it came back the screen didn't stop blinking, so i've put everything back and started removing one by one, it turned out that the "Playtalk" was the one that couldn't be removed.
With the issue solved, i discoverd that my market/play store didn't work, and that i could'nt realize any download from the browser, so I re-installed everything again and did a factory reset, but it didn't work to solve the problem, after searching a lot, I noted that in my system apps there is no "dowload provider.apk" only the "download provider ui.apk" that i removed in the beginning, and i'm thinking thats the problem with browser, but I don't know if it is the same problem of the market/play store because it don't even open, when i tap the icon, the screen shows: Loading, then it closes, with the "the application stopped unexpectedly" but it don't even "wait" for me to force stop, I just get back to the app laucher screen.
So, If anyone has anything for me to try to solve the issue, it will be awesome 'cause i'm trying to solve it more than 2 weeks.
PS. I already tried to install the "download provider.apk" but every version I try i get the same two problems:
- Incompatible Shared User
or
- Older SDK.
Ps 2. Regarding the market/play store issue, i already tried to clear the data/cache and neither of them work.
