Is it still possible to root the captivate if i flash to the new build? I just got this phone and I really want to do both of these..lol. Please someone let me know. I already downloaded the guide from this site. So I just want to know if I get the new build, is it possible to follow the same root instructions that are for 2.1? Thanks in advanced.

Yes it's still possible to root, but with a different ( more complicated ) method as of now. It's not the same as rooting on 2.1. You can find couple of threads regarding rooting froyo in development section.
Hi Guys
This is a good day since I got the inspire. I have been rooting phones for more then a year. Nexus one and Captivate
All I need is to understand what am I doing.
q. What is s-off?
q. why do I need to downgrade and what is that in general?
q. what is the gold card?
q, what is the best way to root my phone.
I know that this is a really annoying noob questions but I will really appreciated some info.
Thank you guys
Q: What is s-off?
A: S-OFF is a trigger in Android that tells your phone you can mess with it. It allows you to flash ROMs and kernels and whatever else you would like. You have to have it to root.
Q: Why do I need to downgrade and what is that in general?
A: You need to downgrade to get S-OFF. Downgrading is installing another rom that let's you get S-OFF.
Q: What is the gold card?
A: A gold card lets you downgrade.
Q: What is the best way to root my phone.
A: Almost ready for a release.
Mmmmm
What is the best way again
I dont see a download link for the easy root. Can u help?
Coming soon.
Ok. What do i do right now?
Look for attn post on hacking the inspire and getting root etc.. follow those directions and you'll be fine. In the future searching can help you answer your questions as well.

the only way to root your phone is to follow the instructions in attn1s hack kit. it comes with all the tools necessary for rooting/installing a custom rom onto your phone. there are detailed instructions, and if you need any help, visit the link in my sig.
I've read some guides and what not for rooting my Transformer, and I'm still lost.
I just need the stuff that came in the OTA update that was pulled, and I'd like root access.
Can someone write an idiots guide to doing all this....
I'm not sure why this was moved, seems it would be better in the devlopment section, but whatever.
Still, anyone?

It's because there shouldn't be questions in the dev section. Also the posted guide in the dev section from apache14 is as detailed as it ever could be (every step is explained in detail), what more are you looking for?
Rooting methods involving adb can look intimidating, but if you read carefully and follow the directions its really not that difficult. I haven't rooted my asus yet but I recently rooted my thunderbolt and xoom. The asus method looks no more complicated.

I have a droid charge and I rooted it. I want to unroot it and re root it so is there a way to do this? I've found a few threads that have links to guides but none of them have worked so far. Can anyone give me a working link to a guide to unroot my droid charge?
Thanks
Why would you want to unroot and then reroot?

This has always worked for me, the bad thing is that you fall back to factory defaults,
Go to this thread from I nuts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
Now download the PIT file and choose what version you want ep4 obviously being the latest, now flash using Odin, i usually take out the SIM and the SD card.
You now have a completely stock non rooted phone
Now to root it it depends what version you got;
if ep4 then simply flash the latest CWM(clockwork mod) found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
and then install a repacked kernel like imoseyon 4.0 and also a superuser.zip found here on post#2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20723064
and then you will be rooted again

He's not posting just to get his post count up. If you read through these forums, you will see kvswim provides a lot of help with his posts. Asking why you would want to unroot, then reroot is a logical question since it doesn't make sense to unroot then reroot. And I wouldn't call asking that question flaming. If he called you a moron for wanting to unroot then reroot, that would be flaming. I could list the step by step process of unrooting and rerooting for you, but the attitude you displayed in your response makes you undeserving of the help IMO. When you start a thread asking for help with as little information as you provided in your first post, you are going to get follow up questions. Are you stock or are you running a custom ROM? What process did you use to root in the first place? What is your end goal for this process? The more info you provide without attitude, the better people can help you and answer your question and the more likely you are to get help and get your question answered.

It doesn't matter, I got help from someone who didn't ask stupid questions. Why I want to do it is irrelevant! I asked so I could get information not so I could explain why I want the information. If you won't help me unless I explain why I want to do it, then frankly I don't want your help! So you don't have to help me. I want to do what I want to do whether it makes sense or not! So yes I consider it flaming because the question is irrelevant to the original question. I didn't explain why I wanted to because I don't feel the need to explain myself to everyone who wants to know! Yes I did post very vaguely and I apologize for that, and if those had been his questions "Are you stock or are you running a custom ROM? What process did you use to root in the first place? What is your end goal for this process?" then I wouldn't have had the attitude, but my reasons behind wanting to do this is none of your business, and again if you need to know my business before wanting to help, then don't bother posting! So there is your reason behind my "attitude". Yes my response was out of line, so I apologize, but I did feel the need to explain why I answered why I did! So again I apologize to KVSwim for answering the way I did!

Out of curiosity, can you explain your setup and method of rooting and un-rooting? It is kindof funny that I haven't put with thought to un-rooting other than flashing to to bone stock. I figure you could delete Superuser but I think you'd also have to flash the stock kernel (I haven't noticed a seperate file for that though.)

Yes, but it's a much better idea to learn how to do it manually. That way, you have a much better knowledge base.
When things inevitably go wrong, you will understand the process and know how to fix it.
Toolkits serve a purpose, but they breed laziness and you don't learn anything. You'll be back here posting "OMG, I brocked my phone, what do I do".
Read the stickies, learn what you're doing, then do it properly.
Please use the QUESTION and ANSWER section to ask QUESTIONS you want ANSWERED
Thread moved
Like others, I must advise against using toolkits. If something were to happen and your phone gets screwed up, you will have no idea how to fix it and surely XDA will see yet another "ZOMG such and such toolkit bricked my phone please helpppp!!!" thread. Doing stuff manually isn't nearly as difficult as it seems, and the knowledge you gain is indispensable. Try it, OP. You might surprise yourself with how easy it truly is.
