I897UCKB1 - rooting & lagfixing

I used to run custom ROM serendipity 5.11. Decided to give the official stock froyo a try. So, I flashed it to JF6 and installed I897UCKB1 on my captivate. Now, I miss the root privileges and also the stock ROM is still not smooth. There is a big improvement from 2.1 but not there if I compare with serendipity. So, is there any way I can root and install lagfix on my stock I897UCKB1 2.2 captivate? Please help

There are many many threads going on here that covers this. Either get a custom ROM from Cog4 or Torch 1.5. If not then use SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870760 for lagfix

Same Here
I tried rooting the phone the traditional way and it tells me the update.zip is not e_signatured (or some thing like that) verified. How do we root the NEW Froyo Stock ROM??
Greatly appreciate any assistance on this!!!

The assistance was in the post right above your own.
The reason the old update.zip method does not work is because Froyo uses 3e recovery, which requires the update.zip files to be signed. The SuperOneClick root bypasses that and directly gives you root. After this you can install CWM, and flash the supercurio voodoo kernel, which gets you the lagfix, and rids you of 3e recovery, all at the same time.

You can install the voodoo kernel via odin, but that can't be done straight from the phone. It is also packaged as a CWM flashable update.zip, so you could do it that way, but you still need a computer to root it first. Without root, you can't get into a non 3e recovery, and without that, you can't flash the package straight from the phone.

Prior to the current stock 2.2, i used serendipity custom rom on my phone. i used AIO toolbox for captivate to flash serendipity custom rom. can i use the same tool to root my 2.2 phone? i am very new to this whole stuff. i see that this particular voodoo kernel provided significant performance improvement on the stock I897UCKB1 captivate. If you can provide step by step guidance that would be great. thanks

I'm rooted and have the 3e problem....i go into recovery with CWM but update fails...tried the 3e patch that accepts unsigned but sbin recovery is read only won't let me delete/overwrite....tried an emu to chmod but says permission denied lol....i must be missing something.... I'm familiar with os but can't seem to figure this. Only thing stopping me from voodoo lagfix is damn recovery file not being deleted

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you just trying to get it into recovery? If so, do you have the Android software developer kit (SDK) installed? The SDK includes the adb binary. Download it, install it, then open a command prompt, cd to the 'platform-tools' directory where the SDK installed, insure your phone is on & plugged in via USB, and issues the command: adb reboot recovery.
If I'm off-base with what you're trying to accomplish, my apologies.

Don't use a KFx rom, the KF1 and KF2 versions of Gingerbread were really buggy and will give you more trouble than they're worth. You're better off flashing Octane, Valhalla or ICBINB which get updated frequently.

Which also means that you need to flash a KG4 leak or newer for the proper GB bootloaders. If not, you'll get a rainbow screen.

Similar Problem
Hey Guys,
I had a similar problem. I am using Fire Expert to overwrite the new recovery to the \system\bin folder. However, I realized my mistake was that I did not mount as r/w. After I did that though and I held the volume up, down and power, I stay stuck at the initial splash screen and can't go into the stock recovery screen. I can't boot regularly either; I have to Odin recover. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Overwriting the old recovery and putting the update.zip file on the sdcard for CWM Final was for Froyo ROMs only, not Gingerbread (GB) ones. What ROM are you currently on?
In order to get into recovery since flashing the GB boot loaders I have to:
Power off the phone
Hold down Volume Up, Volume Down, and the Power button
When the Galaxy S screen comes on, wait a second, it'll get a tad bit brighter. When that happens let go of only the Power button
Wait a few seconds and you should be in recovery
Sounds like you might be a bit goofed at this point, though. If you were on GB before I'd suggest using one of the ROMs in bhundven's The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection. The last one in the list will also give you root, CWM, and voodoo lagfix.

Weird. All you should have to do is put the updated recovery in /system/bin & put the update.zip on the root of the sdcard.
What is the current state of the phone? I know in the previous post you said you would have to use ODIN to recover. Did you do that?

Yes I did use Odin to recover. I did it following the link provided in the sgs4g 10 commandments. This is the second time I recovered. After I recovered he first time, I tried the process again and the same thing happened: stuck at the initial splash screen.

I've not used it but if it allows you to mount /system read/write, then it should work fine as long as you're putting the 'recovery' file in /system/bin & the update.zip on the root of the sdcard.
If you try it again then reboot into recovery, what happens?

Newbie Help

Ok just got this phone and have decided to go with Phoenix Blood rom, but how do i start? I have to be on froyo to root? Im coming from samsung epic on sprint that i flashed so im not completely retarded. Thanks for any help

Use superoneclick to root on froyo.
If your on 2.3.3 gb there's a flashable. Zip in development section to root.
Also you will want to use tgagunnmans nvflash method to install clockworkmod recovery in dev section.
Phoenix blood is a great choice btw, enjoy!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

You're still on Froyo? To my understanding it's a good idea to flash the OTA GB first so that you'll get the up to date baseband. Once that's done just go ahead and flash PB.

no im on gb jsut thought i had to go back to froyo to root, so i just flash clockwork mod then pb and thats it?

Yes, but make sure you're using NVFlash to get CWM. Don't use Rom Manager.

Easiest way is using the tool unlockroot. It supports gb on the G2X. Or you can use nvflash, whichever you prefer.

From that thread:
Flashing the custom recovery using NvFlash is the only way to ensure that in the case your phone will not boot up, you will be able to get into recovery to fix the issue / flash a ROM / restore from nandroid backup. That is what this app will do for you.
If you flashed the ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager it does not flash the recovery to your phone, it fake flashed it. The only way you can gain access to ClockworkMod recovery is through ROM Manager at that point. Using this method is the only way to flash recovery so it is persistent and accessible booting to recovery.
If you have already flashed through ROM Manager you can still proceed with this method. Flash Away!
(You can use both ROM Manager CWM and have the nvflashed version working together. You just access either or one at a time, having the nvflashed one means you can boot to CWM. Welcome to Tegra2)

Follow the link. This is a must for tegra 2 based phones. It is always better to be safe than sorry and it also allows you to do a ton of other things, such as making backups and flashing roms. Let us know if you need help. The phone is pretty much unbrickable after you do this. It gives you the ability to recover from any major mistake.

Its in the dev thread, it low level flashes clockworkmod recovery to our phones internal memory partition. You need to install apx drivers first in order for the g2x to be nvflashed.

thanks for the help guys got it all set up

Just to add in, nvflash allows u to boot into cwm recovery whenever u want and u don't need to be next to a computer. I think that is how it worked for Samsung phones and Odin, where u needed a computer, but haven't used a Samsung phone so I could be wrong. Remember always make a back up of everything and play around with the different roms, not every rom works for everyone
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Actually Odin is just like nvflash. It is used to put cwm on you phone and to put the stock recovery back on.
Once you have cwm you can flash what ever rom or kernel without the need for root. Just back up your stock unrooted stock rom before flashing anything else.
If you do that you will have your own stock backup with no need of finding it in the forums if you need to go back to stock.

Rooting Questions

Im new to this phone. I have it unlocked to run on att. It's running stock 2.3.6. My question is how do I go about rooting it and adding a recovery. And since it's unlocked, does that effect anything? Thank you.

Check out the development section and look for antonx kernel..that will give you cwm recovery and aa lot of neat feature .
Though you might need to flash it with heimdall or use superoneclick to root then flash with sgs kernel flasher

There is also the blastoff kernel. eollie has made a oneclick for it in my signature under oneclicks on the second post of that thread.
The recovery is rooted, but the stock rom is not. So you can install a rooted rom after the heimdall flash.
If you are on froyo, don't forget to flash the oneclick a second time to flash bootloaders.

I rooted with zergrush then just used sgs kernel flasher to flash antonx kernel. Very simple.

See, this is what confuses me. On other phones I've had, you would root, flash a recovery, then your rom and or kernel. It's not the same on this one?

I believe that for this phone (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the recovery comes with your kernel. To get a custom recovery, you must flash a kernel that has a custom recovery.

[Q] Re-Rooting?

I know the title may sound odd, but let me explain. I rooted my phone a while back and have flashed plenty of ROM's. I think that there is something wrong and would basically like to take it back to the starting point....that point you get right after you have rooted it for the first time. What would be the best way? I ask because I do not want to return it to stock as in this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253)
Do I act as if I have never rooted it and run it through the ODIN process?
If so, what method as lately I have seen more than one.
Thanks all.

Whats the difference between the time after you first rooted your phone vs it being rooted now? Idk maybe use supersu built in options for restoring root?

There isn't any way to do it for now only computers can do that.

Odin flash a rooted VRBLK3 image from mrRobinson thread in the dev section. Use the /sdcard wipe tar. You'll then need to unlock the bootloader if you intend to flash kernels or roms again.

This is a great guide but is written for rooting a phone for the first time. What Slim was suggesting was to install a pre-rooted image onto your phone after cleaning it properly. If you want to do it this was since it is familiar to you, I would return to stock using the guide in the stickies and then using the guide that you referenced to root and unlock. Make sure that you back everything up including the IMEI. Good luck!

All you need is download the "full wipe" version from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234355 then:
First, use Titanium to backup all your apps.
1. Remove your micro sdcard (it will wipe your card if you don't remove)
2. Boot into download mode (volume down + home + power buttons)
3. Use Odin to flash that image and remember only select PDA.
Once you boot up you will have a like factory setp with root. Do your normal setup then use Titanium to restore all your apps. That's it.
