Hey guys, im sorry to start a thread. Ive looked everywhere for a solution but i cant find one. I rooted my phone yesterday and even managed to install some new roms. One of those rooms seems to have disabled my market completely. I was not happy with the recovery program i initially installed, so i unrooted back to 1.5 again. I did not think that my market would be disabled after the sapp.nbh, but it is. I want to re-root it, but i can not download a manager off the market. Is there anything I can do? or am i stuck with 1.5 forever. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
that definitely should not have happened
must have been a problem with the rom
I've been running rooted roms since last summer without any problems
What message is the market giving you when you try to open it up? Maybe there is something wrong with the sign in. One thing that you can try though is a different sappimg file to unroot it back to 1.5.
Hope this helps!
I tried searching and did not really find any answers that worked so I am asking for assistance.
I recently used Odin to move to 2.2 (/showthread.php?t=797282) and that went well. The only issue now is that I am trying to root, and cannot get that to work. I would like to use Cognition with all the nice tweaks.
I have tried to use the one click root /showthread.php?t=761751) which is what I used when I first got my captivate. Each time that I run this it gives me a error about a esignature failure and so it will not allow the fix to happen.
I then tried to use Odin 2.1 stock recovery (/showthread.php?t=731989) but I cannot get it to boot into the same recovery that I used to get it to 2.2. I hold the volume keys (up and down like before) and no pure recovery. I hold the volume+power and I get the option to reinstall as when I am rooting, and get the same errors.
I have tried to follow the directions here:/showthread.php?t=734163 to go back to stock, but I am sure that I am missing something.
I have tried removing the update.zip from the internal card (using Root Explorer) file from the device, rebooting, and then running the root attempt again.
I have Clockwork Rom Premium but cannot use it as it will not work without root.
I am at a loss, and would really appreciate the communities support. I am sorry if I missed something one searching, and feel free to point me to a thread I missed. I really just want to get the phone back to 2.1 and I can root and then put Cognition on it, or just 2.1 and I can root it and wait for ATT for the OTA to 2.2.
Thank you in advance for assistance.
ps.. sorry for the /showthread= links. System would not let me post full urls.
RESOLVED!
UPDATE:::
I was able to get the 2.1 stock Odin to work and now I am on 2.1 with Root again.
Just so you know, at the moment clockwork recovery doesnt work wit 2.2. If you wanted to get to clockwork while using a 2.2 rom you have to make sure the clockwork update.zip is on your sdcard then use odin to flash a 2.1 kernel. Kind of a pain but it works.

Just so you know the issue with using the update.zip or clockworkmod is the phone, when in 2.2, requires a signed update.zip; the old update.zip and the one that clockworkmod uses is not signed for 2.2; so you cannot root or modify with any of the update.zip methods. There is a longer process to root a 2.2, but if you are going to cog 2.2, you don't need to worry about it.
I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I have yet to find a solution.
I recently rooted my Infuse with SuperOneClick. I flashed the Serendipity 7 ROM. I decided I wanted to unroot my device because my phone began to not be able to receive calls. SuperOneClick does not support 2.3 software, so I tried to flash a Froyo rom so I could use the program. My phone is now stuck in reboot. I can't even get it into recovery mode, no matter how many times I try. I have no idea what to do, I need my phone to work. Does anyone know any way to fix this? Thank you in advance.

I purchased a Galaxy Exhilarate last weekend. This phone was just released by AT&T a few days before that. After playing around with the phone, and doing some reading, I can admit, they've done a decent job. Of course, it comes with all the standard "bloat" that all the phones have, but it also has a few nice things too.
For one, reading using the Barnes & Noble Nook App is not bad, esp. since I own a Nook. To read the same books I'm reading on my nook, just tell the nook app the same account you use for your nook, and all your purchased content (including games) will be available. Of course, my Nook is hacked with Android, and I can do far more than just read books on it. Anyway, I'm off topic here.
After toying around with the phone, I decided it was time to delve deeper into it, and look at rooting it. I did a quick search, and, well, there's NOTHING out there on how to root it!
I also wasn't sure how to get into the Android Restore mode.
After looking into it, I figured it out on my own
1) Power down the phone
2) Push & hold both the UP and DOWN volume buttons and then push and hold the Power button.
3) "Samsung" will come up, and then disappear. AS SOON as it disappears, release all the buttons
The phone will now boot into the Android System Recovery mode.
As I'm just getting started, I'll post more when I get to that point!
To play around (if you just happen to own this phone), you should read the entire post. You can also go straight to my guide on how to root using a workaround I developed with Shaggypenquin and j3r3goss. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29566997
If you are an XDA Admin, would like to see this get it's own forum with the other Samsung phones! Thanks!
Rooting the Galaxy Exhilarate
Hello , I'm new to the forum , but I also purchased the Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate recently. I'm sad to say that although you SHOULD be able to "root the phone using a standard technique for Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.7 Gingerbread" , I cannot. I follow the procedure for rooting Androids 2.3.3 to 2.3.7 Gingerbread (using the attached file that you provided), and it gave me a message stating "E:failed to verify whole-file signature. (new line) E:signature verification failed". I'm a noob when it comes to Androids to know what this message means, however I'm hoping you can provide me with some much needed assistance
P.S. I've tried to research around, very thoroughly in my opinion, so this is a last resort of sorts haha
-Thank you in advance!
DaveeG: I too have run into the issue you are talking about. I haven't had time to try to figure out the workaround yet. Check back in early July... Maybe I'll figure something out, or someone else will, and they'll post here.

Alright , thanks. Somebody help me pleasee ,
anyway you could do a system dump? If so, I could probably get a solution for everyone.
Excuse my ignorance , but what exactly do you mean by a system dump? sounds like a reset of some kind,

gicuenitro: I'll see if I can get one done. It may be a few days. Next week I start vacation, so I plan to spend a day just messing around w/ this.
You cant apply unofficial updates through the stock recovery as it will check to see if it is signed by samsung. Either patch the recovery or find another way to root.

It would be alot easier to get around the e-signature if CWM Recovery Was Flashed to the phone. I will be looking for the CWM Recovery Version That will best suit this situation. I used CWM Recovery to flash Custom ROMS to my SGH-i717 (AT&T Galaxy Note) As Soon as i Find that version I will post it. be patient Rome wasnt built in a day and i would hate for your phone to become one expensive paper weight lol:good:

I have used CWM before. I look forward to your solution. I think the Exhilarate is similar to another AT&T phone that may already be rooted, but I don't know if one phone's hack/root will apply to another, similar phone.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
Made several unsuccessful attempts to root this device with SuperOneClick v2.3.3 and DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT for Skyrocket (i727). On a side note, rebooting restores all uninstalled at&t bloatware.
I got one of these by chance and was wondering if anyone has tried Odin to push cwm? Has anyone found anything on this? I can help....just need to know where to start.

Flash a kernel with a patched recovery then install the su files from the recovery.
That's how antsm did it for the galaxy ace 2, try give him a message and see if he'll whip up a quick kernel for you. I would give it a go but I don't have a Linux machine right now. Remember to ask him politely though.

I haven't tried yet. This is my first Sammy phone so I've just been reading rooting guides for similar phones.

If someone could get a system dump I would greatly appreciate it. I somehow manage to screw up the stock recovery and now my capacitive buttons only respond once or twice after booting and then they appear to lock up. Attempted to do a full restore through Kies with no success. Chatted with samsung and they say at this time there is no way to do a full reinstall.
Still unable to root/sysdump
Ok, been trying to get root access and/or do a system dump on the phone.
So far, no luck.
However, I have been able to get the phone to dump its system properties...
Here they are (hopefully, this can be used as a start?):
<Rest of post deleted here due to size/length of post (and not needed)>
I used the ADB to get shell access to the phone. When I type the command "su dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs" I get "su: permission denied".
So, assuming "su" is superuser, how do I get that if my phone isn't rooted???
Thanks for any help you can give.

Ok, I've got my phone to boot into "ODIN Mode". I downloaded ODIN3 1.85. I've opened it up. Not sure I want to push something to the phone just yet (sure as hell don't want to brick it). ...
Suggestions...?

I pushed the skyrocket cwm and my phone did not like it. I think cwm is actually trying to come up but it's ugly and not usable. The phone still boots but the capacitive buttons are locking up. I have since pushed the s3 stock att recovery and the s3 cwm with no success. I'm using my htc aria because the phone is mostly useless without the buttons. I'm up to custom binary flash count 3 now. I will probably get a chance to play more this weekend but i just started a 5 wk probability and statistics class and a history class that are eating all my time during the week.

I think you may have gone the wrong way about this - however, I am working on a manual root for the phone - and I think I may have something soon!
If/when I get rooted, I'll make sure I post the original img so you can at least recover your phone back to stock.

I was originally trying to root to be able to install cwn through rom manager, but since that didn'tr work I was trying to push CWM thru Odin so I could do a a nadroid and then try to flash superuser and busybox through cwm. I admit I don't know much about it.This is only my second android phone and the first time I've had a backup if I mess something up
I rooted my evo about two years ago and now I am giving the phone to my mother to use, so I am trying to unroot it, but I can't seem to get in unrooted! I've been using the Complete unroot option on the SuperSU app, but it never seems to get it done. When I open it up, it says that the binary needs to be updated, but I can't seem to be able to do that either! HELP! I need the phone unrooted asap.
Hi,
You likely need to flash a RUU for your model to get back to stock. But for other ideas or help on that, you can ask here,
