This is a a new one from what I have seen, after several random restarts I flashed back to stock and was able to install the jh7 update. I rooted with z4root. I wanted to enable sideloading and used a guide that allowed you to change the settings.db file in sqlite and reinstall to the settings folder under dbdata. The instructions were to delete the file and so I did, but to my horror I was not able to past the new file into the directory using root explorer. Knowing that something bad was going to happend I restarted anyway and low and behold, the phone no longer boots past the S screen. The screen goes black and the buttons on the bottom turn on but thats all you get. I tried the hold volume buttons and plug in. I also tried hold volume buttons and power. I tried to make my own jig using three 100 ohm resistors as shown on youtubne and nothing gets me into download or recover modes. I have ordered a jig from a guy over and androidforums hoping for user error in my jig attempt. Anyone have any suggestions, my build is 1009 rev .04. My computer does recognize the the partitions when I plug it, but of course I can not mount. Is there a way in either windows or linux to force a mount, and to get into the file system to restore the back up I made. Without this settings.db file will I even be able to enter recovery or download mode? Thanks for any help you can give.

Can't you get into download mode through vol up + vol down + usb cord? That's used by sbl.bin, which shouldn't be affected.

A) this is not a brick, your phone still powers on
B) if you were rooting, you should have enabled USB debugging before attempting to do so, so when you turn your phone on, plug the USB in and use adb from the android sdk to get into download mode. "adb reboot download"

Might as well be a brick. The root went fine, everything was good till I deleting the settings file. What I am hoping for is a way to force mount the internal memory if possible and cut and paste the back up copy in.
you just need to go through the various methods to get into download mode.
pull battery -> Pull sim card -> Insert battery -> hold power up and down while plugging in the USB with Odin already open
adb should work in recovery and likely where the phone is hanging during boot as well.

if you have the setting.db file saved on your computer you can do an adb push.
I am not really sure of adb, I downloaded the android development kit, and it told me I needed the Java SDK, so I downloaded and installed that. But the development kit tells me Java is not installed.

I am assuming that you are on a 64bit windows.
the android sdk installer is looking for the 32bit version of java, so go download and install the java jdk/sdk for 32bit windows.
I am not able to put my phone into debug mode will adb still work?
Also do you have to be in debug mode for Odin if so then I guess I am really screwed.
You do not need to have it in debug for odin and adb is enabled in recovery regardless of debug setting.
Well that is very good to hear, now if I could only get into recovery mode.
Well good news, I followed this dude's tutorial and am back. Thanks for all the replies guys.

I have downloaded the one click and samsung drivers. The program opens fine. But I have read some people getting phones messed up from rooting with this program?
Should I remove the SD card first before rooting?
Does this program work with 2.2 one click for Galaxy?
Thanks!
Hey
the version i used is 1.7 and no problem here ....
I have read somewhere that you should unmount your sd card , well i didnt and still got phone rooted..
i dont see much of problem with it ..... it will take around 5 mins so just be patient.....dont forget to install samsung drivers .... and put phone into developer mode
Can not get it to work.
Yes I did download Samsung drivers succesfuly.
Yes I enabled Debugging mode succesfully
Tried using both One click 1.7 in Rage mode. Tries to work but just cursor flashing and does nothing.
Then used the other One click program that comes up with BLUE SAMSUNG I9000 and has choice to One click 2.1, 2.2 or remove root.
I choose 2.2 and then phone resets like when I used Clockwork on my old HD2.
I chose correctly to install the files.
PHone loads files but then get error code and wont install them. Reads Signiture Verification Failed!
I read others having same issue of phone not letting files install.
Anyhelp!
I know its not rooted as Titanium Backup is not getting root permission..

Down root check fron the market. Just because Titainium is not getting root permission does not mean it's not rooted. It’s not that difficult to root the SGS 4G Phone. The first thing you need to do is make sure your phone is communicating with your computer. Install the Samsung USB drivers.(make sure you have the right drivers for your O.S. either 32bit or 64bit) In your phone go into Settings/Applications/Development and make sure you check “USB debugging”. Connect your Tethering cable to your phone. On your home screen you should see “USB Connected” popup on top of your screen. You should be able to press USB connected button from the drop-down menu on the home screen and see the external SD card on the computer now. If that works then Turn off USB storage. (leave “USB debugging” checked) Then Download SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse, expand the file and go to SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse Directory. Run the SuperOneClick App. When it opens don’t change anything and just click “Root” and let it run. It should say rooted when done. Then go to the Market on your phone and get Titanium Backup and install it. It will ask for SuperUser permission and accept that on your phone. If that fails press “Problems” button, Then “Get Busybox”. Install the new Busybox. You may have to close and reopen Titanium Backup again. BTW this post should be in general.
yeah, i dont suggest you use rage. it took forever for me to root the phone that way. i left it on psneuter and it rooted in about 5 minutes

Thanks guys! Yes Rage was the issue. I followed his instructions and left in pnuueter and it worked perfectly! Now my Titanium is rooted and working.
Now if we could just get a good Apsd to let us format the SD card to ext 4 that would be a perfect world!
Thank you.
Moved to proper forum.

Rooted my SGS4G using Superoneclick.
2 things I noticed. Your AV will think that Rage is a virus. NOD32 kept quarantining it. I turned off both AV and FW.
Also, after you install the Samsung USB driver, reboot your computer. I had that "waiting for device" message until I rebooted computer. Then it flew. The driver doesn't offer to reboot, or tell you to.

I've tried the drivers from Samsung, Keis, ODIN one click. None of them worked on 4 different machines, Windows 7 both x64 and x86(which was a fresh install), and two Windows XP machines. I tried it on Ubuntu(10.04 LTS) and that recognized the captivate.
Anyone know how to get one of those to correctly recognize my Captivate so I don't stuck on Samsung's/AT&T's 2.2
uninstall all of the driver that you downloaded. uninstall kies. then go to samsung.com search for the captivate, choose you phone, click the 'i own this' button. then go to get downloads, software. click on the .zip file icon next to usb drivers. if that didnt work uninstall them then download kies again. if it still doesn't install them, open kies, click menu, reinstall drivers
What is it that you're trying to do?

If it is coming up unknown device try another port. You may want to try another microusb cable as well.

I've always had luck with the drivers in the captivate aio toolbox. Even on a fresh win7 64bit when I replaced my boot drive with a ssd a month ago.
Samsung really failed at the USB drivers for the Captivate. I would expect to be able to install the drivers from their website. Plug in my phone, and have it working.

Tried my friends brand new microUSB cable. It worked.
I have tried 4 known good cables know, 4 different computers and every USB port available on all 4 of the PCs I tried. Only once did it identify the device and install the drivers and I was able to root it but I still can't sideload because after the reboot after rooting it is back to device not recognized/unknown device. This has been a total pain. Any suggestions? I'm not with AT&T any more so I am out of luck for just bringing it into a store and asking them to take care of it.
Edit: Sorry for bumping an older post but I did it instead of starting a new thread.

If you're just trying to transfer apk files to it for sideloading, you can use a wifi transfer app. I use Wifi File Explorer and it's great. You can connect to your phone via web browser and upload/download anything on the SD card.
Another option is to use an external SD card that you can remove and plug into your computer, transfer the files to it, then insert it back into the phone.
This won't work for connecting to PC apps like Odin, Heimdall, or Kies, but for simple file transfers it works like a charm.
Additionally, regarding other usb cables, you didn't mention what types of cables you used, so I'll throw in another thought. The cables that come with the Captivate don't work on some PCs (like my new iMac). Third-party, generic usb cables might not work, either (I tried some and got a whole lot of fail). The only cable that works for me is the one that came with my wife's Motorola phone. If you haven't tried one yet, I would recommend getting your hands on a Motorola cable and testing it out. You'll immediately notice the cable is much thicker. I don't know if that has anything to do with why it works when others don't, but there's something about that cable that others don't have.
Bad Phone?
Could it be the phone port is having issues?
I've had the same problem and it seems that the port on the Captivate is shot which may be your issue. it will always charge; but tends to cause a lot of profanity when trying to get a PC connection to transfer files or flash it. It will be seen, then immediately play the 'unplugged' sound from windows. I've sat there and had it play the tones of plugged in and un plugged over and over again just by tilting the phone from side to side. No matter what cables I use (tried several but they are all samsung due to the recessed port). If it establishes the connection; I have to be very still with it or it'll lose it. If it loses it; I get unknown device messages or not functioning messages on that port until I reboot the PC.
Trying to flash anything via ODIN takes a lot of patience.
Those same cables / USB ports are used on my wife's Focus without ever having a problem. I wrote it off as too much flashing / overclocking of my phone but am not sure.
hi i was having this issue as well. i solved it by:
1. download a good & stable miui rom, rename it to update.zip and place it into your sd card. i took the sd card out of the phone and used a adapter to connect the sd card to my PC since i can't access my sd card through the usb port.
2. put the sd card back into my phone, turn off my phone. press and hold volume up and down buttons, then press n hold the power button till the screen shows something.
3. select install from sd. wait until the installation finishes and select reboot the phone.
4. when you're in your new miui rom, try to connect your phone to the pc via usb port again.
this worked like charm for me.
about the miui rom, i suggest you to use the one from miuiandroid.com (the UK version)
after flashing the rom im able to connect via usb and use mass storage.
hope this helps
Also, when you uninstall drivers, don't forget to look in the program files for anything that may have been left behind and delete it.
From the description it sounds strongly like you are actually experiencing a port failure which is common on the Galaxy S devices. PM me if you need this repaired...
Only try another usb cable, i bricked my cappy with a bad contact cable on odin, unknown device too, new cable=i897 device on windows notifications
try and feedback!
strange, this only happened to my when i soft bricked my phone. try connecting it to your computer in download mode
I had this issue once before. Here is what I did which resolved the problem. I was using a windows 7 PC
1. Download the ADB kit and extract it to C drive.
2. Connect your mobile to the PC on USB port
3. Wait for the drivers to be installed automatically (it might give you a failed to install message)
4. Never mind that message. Open Device Manager
5. In Device Manager, if you expand the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers", you'll see a device that has yellow question mark against it. This is your phone and since drivers are not installed properly, it has the question mark.
6. Right click that device, and select "Update Driver".
7. IN the window that comes up, select "I'll select a driver".
8. Browse to the folder where you have extracted the ADB kit on C drive
9. Check include subfolders and click Next.
10. The drivers should be be installed and your device should be identified by the computer.
Let me know if it works for you.
Hi all you wizards,
I had this now brick rooted and jiggling around it with uninstalling some preinstalled apps, but when I attempted to replace some fonts which was my main goal, it turned out that it was not really rooted!!! probably the rooting method and app was malicious. Then none of the apps could fully root it. Z4root followed by Superoneclick and Universalandroot have been tried, no chance but slow and unstable device. finally I decided to master reset. After this, a strange virus like fake warning sticks to the screen saying the battery cover is open and asking to restart! when I really open the cover another warning comes up that battery cover removed. phone is working in background. It responds to USB connection, even detects an update of ROM I copied to solve the problem but no chance.
Has anybody any idea to get it back to life by using PC as there is no direct interactions with the phone coz of the virus?
basically I prefer to get rid of the virus through SDK and ADB if possible although I am a mushroom and Dono how.
Is it possible to wipe off some infected data or I have to wash out all the ROM and install a new one?
I have another phone handy exactly the same thing, should I copy all data from other one to this one or the update version of original ROM would work?
it is Garmin Asus A50 nuvifone with built in full GPS and navigator; 256 ROM, 256 RAM, 600 MHtz CPU, ARMv6, android 2.1 update 1
Thanks so much in advance for any participation even your experiences without useful result
here is some more information about the matter;
I needed to install some fonts for other languages which are not supported by android
So I tried to use information and files to get my device rooted and replace some fonts in system/fonts directory and some files in system/lib directory to use other languages in my android.
1- I started with Z4root , I downloaded through device and installed it, and I uninstalled my antivirus as it always said it is not safe, so I activated USB debugging and then permanent root and I had the super user. I installed some apps and used them to uninstall some preinstalled app and similar issues. When I tried to replace fonts and files, my file explorer with root ability, it said I don’t have enough authorization or something to access the file, I tried more root file explorer but same result, even a root checker said my device is not rooted!
2- Then I tried UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. Again I downloaded it through my device browser but it could not help as it said fails! I thought it is because of Z4root so I uninstalled Z4root but failed to root again.
3- I wanted to use pc method and root my phone by PC, even though this method was for android ginger bread and not my brand but as much as tried, my device did not show a recovery mode in start up by pressing power button and volume key but when I pressed middle key of arrow keys went to safe mode. so I ignored it.
4- Finally I downloaded the oneclick app through my device from the net. It was a zip file with so many files and super user, I just installed superuser but not helpful to replace font, then uninstalled.
5- Again installed Z4root but my phone was freezing and unstable so decided to master reset to factory setting. I did it once but after reset, nothing changed so I did it again. This time a warning sticks on the screen says;
” close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first time set up.”
and asks for restart.
There should be something wrong as when I really open the battery cover, another warning comes up and says; battery cover removed!
Phone is working in background, even I copied a factory update of my ROM and its been detected but the crazy warning does not let to do anything but restart!
Now I need help to show me how I can use my PC to reset my device as upon a usb connection it asks for interaction and lets me to work via usb cable, and then how I can go to recovery mode in start up?
Otherwise it is a brick, lol
it does not let me to do any interaction cause of the crazy warning. it asks for restart, thats all I can do, or other warnings like asking to do update or usb connection option or battery cover removed, but no more. it means I can not activate usb debugging if needed or follow update process through mobile UI. besides in this kind of phone there is no recovery mode but just something like "USB polling mode" and "safe mode." the warning is in safe mode too and I dono how to use "USB polling mode".
however the only option is ADB, and I do not have an backup of the rom but another simillar phone to make copy or the update file, if possible to copy them via ADB which I am dono how; like which commands and where to copy them?

found this but dont know how to adb .
but for sure on giving a missed call and following the idea in link u can use the phone but annoying error wont go away
I have the same problem but I cannot receive calls
Hello
A couple days ago I got a Garminfone from a friend, I use it mostly as a GPS only, because T-Mobile does not have any coverage in my country and I don't have the unlock code.
Yesterday I wanted to make a hard reset to start over, holding the D-pad left while powering on the phone, **WIPE USERDATA** appeared on the screen.
Everything was fine until it restarted, after the restart it showed the following warning: "Close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first-time setup", the battery cover is closed and it does not let me do anything, the official ROM update does not install and If I do another hard reset the error persist and the phone does not make or receive calls.
Before this issue I got it rooted using z4root
Is it there anyway to update the device without using the update launcher from the phone?, or reinstall the 2.1 update using the usb cable via command prompt or any tool?.
I just want to get rid of this error and keep using the device as a regular GPS
Anyone can help?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Just wondering what is the best method to root a Samsung replenish. Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I'm wondering the same. I've tried using rageagainstthecage, gingerbreak and psneuter. The first makes the phone vibrate alot. The second just sits there and the third looks like it runs comlpetely but still no #. Anyone tried anything else?
Edit: z4root causes the constand vibrate. rageagainstthecage kills adb and adb will not recognize my device until I reboot the phone.
have you guys figuered out how to root the replinish yet??
I'm still trying. I don't think anything out there right now is going to work without doing some coding and I'm not a coder. Anyone know what irc channels I can hit up for some tips on the android exploits used for rooting?
This may help or not get closer to root.
To boot into Android Recovery Hold U down while powering on....or do 'adb reboot recovery' (requires android sdk tools)
If you hold down Q while powering on you get some verbose output instead of the first www.samsungmobile.com screen.
If you power down then hold Q while you plug in you charger you'll get some verbose output on right below the battery icon.
Bootloader appears to be Little Kernel based. Anyone have experience with that?
you guys think Gingerbreak might work?

KMS will root this phone, run the bat and follow the directions, after you unmount the sdcard and enable usb debugging its best to reboot the phone. seems to have teh highest success

I'm new to this, so let me see if I have this process down:
I hookup my Replenish to the PC without the SD card.
I transfer PrevailToExistence.bat to the device (where/which folder)?
I run the file within the device.
Is there anything else that needs to be done to root the device that most people would have already assumed to do?

Unfortunately this did not work at all for me. I have the drivers correctly installed because if I put an SD card in, I can read/write to the sd card from my wife's replenish. I did remove the SD Card before trying this & USB Debugging was enabled. This is the screenshot of what came up. Also why is it that this says its for the Samsung Prevail? Does this batch file also work for the replenish? Anyway take a look at the screenshot & tell me what I did wrong because I followed the above instructions with no success.
UPDATE*** I ran the batch file & rebooted the phone when the batch file said "waiting for phone to reconnect" while it was rebooting, the batch file continued to run and failed........BUT, after it rebooted, I ran the batch file again never disconnecting the phone and I finally had success. Thank you for this method but more detailed instructions would have made this as easy as it really is. Thanks.

I just tried your method, and was unsuccessful, I had my card unmounted, usb was in debug mode. maybe there was something else you had to do?
update: I pressed space to continue as I powered on my phone, and it worked fine, many thanks to everyone!
Worked on a coworkers Replenish, here's what I did to make it work:
0. Did not install drivers (I already have samsung captivate drivers and samsung transform drivers from rooting previous phones, so the phone was already recognized)
1.Unzipped KMS.zip on my computer.
2. Put phone into USB Debug mode. Plugged in USB cable.
3. (Phone is currently on) Removed SD card.
4. Ran bat file.
5. Received errors identical to those screencap'd by PRBajista above.
6. Powered phone off (left it plugged in).
7. Powered phone back on.
8. After the boot logo, but before the lock screen came up, I ran the bat file again.
9. Bat file ran sucessfully, phone rebooted by itself and was rooted.
I'm guessing the correct process for rooting this phone is to do exactly what I did (install drivers for step 0 if you don't have already), except skip step 4 and 5.
seems very coordinated... what if I have bad reflexes? (in other words, no other way to root?)

Its pretty easy push the power button in thenphone and hit the spacebar about 5-10 seconds later

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I agree....I wont do a root until I know there is an unroot method that works. Anyone know of one?
