Can someone please give me detailed instructions how to install quake 3 on the samsung captivate
You have to be able to sideload applications and/or install non market apps. There are multiple threads on how to do this, which typically also include rooting. Anyway I would
1. Root the phone
2. Install the Phones drivers on PC
3. Download Qwaak3 Arena for your device
4. Unpack the rar file to somewhere on your PC
5. Copy the quake3 folder to sdcard/ (this is the internal SD card NOT the external sdcard/sd)
6. Put your phone in Debug Mode (Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging)
7. Fire up Droid Explorer and load the APK file (Tools > Manage Packages > Install Package)
I cant install it using a powermac.
I download the apk
I cant open on my mac
I tried to install the apk onto my sd card
The file is there but when i install it and try to open it the game force closes.
Im a noob so I figure Im doing something wrong. I have some experience with installing files like this onto mobiles but new to android. any ideas?
*EDIT: This is for vanilla kwaak3. Not the kwaak3 arena that was pasted in the Captivate Apps forum*
I just got it working on my Captivate. I'm using Win7 64 bit though. You do not need to root to install and play Kwaak3.
Download adb - I got it through the Android SDK (you would only need to install the tools, nothing else unless you were going to develop). Then use adb to install Kwaak3.
List devices:
Code:
adb devices
If you don't have any Android emulators running, it should be the only thing that shows up. It'll be a bunch of letters and numbers followed by the word "device".
Then use adb to install the kwaak3.apk file. The '-s' flag designates which device to use - if you have multiple Android devices plugged in or emulators running.
Code:
adb -s <put your device ID here. It's the string of letters and numbers from above without the brackets> install kwaak3.apk
Then use adb to push each individual .pk3 file onto the sdcard. Use pak0.pk3 from the quake3 demo or from your cd if you own it. Take pak1-pak8 from the Quake3 1.32 point release.
You have to do it individually for each .pk3, for example, pak0.pk3...
Code:
adb -s <device> push <full path to pak0.pk3 without brackets> /sdcard/quake3/baseq3/
Once all .pk3's are in that folder, you're good to go.
Hope that helps.

One Click Root Version for Linux and Works for Mac, too!
This is still a work in progress! Gonna call it 3.3 (I went through 3 previous versions). It takes the 2.2.1 version and adds a user interface. Nice, easy, clean. In order to run this script, you need to chmod (change permission) of the .sh file, and then execute it.
Download the file here: http://kimete.com/droid/beta/dorootv3.sh
It is good for both Linux and Mac. All you have to do is execute it and the script will download all the appropriate files for you!
How to run this in Ubuntu/Linux
How-to video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvlB3e_UE8I
Note: General idea. You no longer need to update android-sdk, though.
1. Download the file.
2. Right-click the file, choose properties, choose the permission tab, and check executing file as program, close window
3. Double-click the file, choose Run in Terminal, and it'll start.
4. Choose 1 for install and root. Choose 2 for root process only. Only good if you've rooted using this method before, or you need to reroot your phone. Choose 3 to unroot. Choose 4 for credits/donation information. Choose 5 to exit. Choosing other numbers...
How-to for Mac
How-to video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7s8dtfYyHI
Note: General idea. You no longer need to download and install android-sdk anymore.
1. Download dorootv3.sh. Best to put it on your desktop.
2. Open a terminal. Go to the magnifying glass and type in terminal, and then select it.
3. Next, you need to change permissions. Type in the terminal chmod 0755 followed with a single space. Then drag the dorootv3.sh into terminal.
You should see something like this chmod 0755 /user/(file path)/dorootv3.sh. Press enter.
4. Now run your file by dragging the file into the terminal again and pressing enter!
5. Now choose and option...
New version of rooting for Linux and Mac! Version 2.2.1!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my anti-virus tell me that the files contain Trojan's?
The files are exploits and hack your phone. Don't worry, they are clean. However, to be safe, do not download from any other source than the ones linked in this post.
I've gotten countless hate mail and comments on Youtube users about rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin being detected as a trojan. It is an EXPLOIT. If you are scared that the files I hosted are going to give your computer a virus. Look else where, like Z4Root, though, my understanding is that Z4Root also uses rage.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853704
What is do these files/programs/scripts do?
These scripts will root your Droid 2 or Droid X phone with the least amount of user input as possible.
Why should we use this method and not another method?
All the methods are based off the same process/procedure. If you feel like doing MORE work, we can't stop you. The reason why we wrote all these scripts is to expedite the process, make the procedure easier, and to reduce human input which reduces the chance of human error.
Is there anything I need to know in order to successfully root my phone?
Yes. READ THE DIRECTIONS. Read the directions first. A lot of people make errors because they don't read the directions. I've also provided links to my video and another video which outlines the root process. Both are only a few minutes long.
Root failed! What do I do?
Run the script again! Most people succeed on the first or second try. Usually the rest by the third try.
Do I have to install Android SDK and update it?
It depends. The new Linux/Mac version does not require you to. The windows one, we are still working on.
Does this work on other phones?
I can't answer that. I know it works for Droid 2 and Droid X.
Wait a minute, this isn't really one-click! What's the deal?
Deal with it. Don't like it, try the 25+ step process.
When I open up the Superuser app, I get a blank screen.
That is NORMAL. Superuser lists the processes/applications that you've allowed superuser access to. If you haven't allowed anything, then it will be blank.
How do I test if I have root or not?
Try downloading an app like Wireless Tether (published by Google), and running it.
What USB connection mode do I set my phone to?
PC Mode or Charge Only. Choose the one that comes up with USB Debugging.
I am not very good with computers. Is this something I can do?
Oh yes! The key to success is following the directions.
How do I update Android SDK?
On Windows, you just need to double click the SDK Manager.exe. On Linux/Mac, you need to go into terminal, navigate to the tools folder in the android sdk folder, and run this command ./android update sdk. More information can be found in the SDK Readme text file. On Windows, double-click and run the SDK Manager.
I am getting stuck at the "daemon not found/daemon is starting" part. What do I do?
You need to fumble with the settings on your phone. You don't need to close the terminal. Change between PC Mode and Charge Only mode until it starts to continue. If that still doesn't work, also try disabling then enabling USB debugging for each mode.

Reporting an Error or a Problem
You can report errors right here in this thread. Make sure you give us as much information as possible. List what operating system you are on, what phone you have, at what part of the script you had errors, and anything else you may have tried or done. The more information you provide us, the better we understand situations. Posting up pics or logs of the terminal is extremely helpful.

Appreciate my work and/or help, feel free to send donations my way! Poor college student here who just got a speeding ticket! Doh!
This is outdated information and should be used as a reference only! All updated versions have moved to POST #1.
Hi all. Made it to the front page of XDA Developers.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easy-rooting-method-for-droid-2/
I just want to make sure credit is given where due. First of all, the original procedure was produced Sebastian Krahmer. From there I wrote an indepth tutorial to root the Droid 2. I took a vague instruction set and help it grown into something that the average person could understand. Understanding the need to simplify the process, I decided to write scripts to further streamline the process. What started out as a 3 part script that involved 8 or 9 commands eventually became a two part script that involved 3 or 4 commands. I have no programming background, by the way. Having trouble getting the process down into one part, facelessuser volunteered to take my work, and put a bunch of neat things into it to get it to work as one thing with error checking! So, with that said, I'd like to thank everyone that had a part in the project, especially facelessuser for his dark magic arts that made the script run, matt4542 for constantly testing my various scripts, and everyone who directly or indirectly ran the scripts!
We are moving forward!

Hi all.
We (me), facelessuser, and a few others are working furiously to get an easy one step program out for you guys. In the mean-time, I have a pretty safe, and clean, and easy 2 step method for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I am still cleaning stuff up, but for the most part, it all runs well.
What you need:
Android-SDK for your operating system which can be found here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Motorola Drivers (if you are using Windows) which can be found here:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
And the files/scripts/programs to root for your OS:
Want to try the one step process, go down to post #2!

Mac/Linux [1.0]: http://www.kimete.com/droid/DORootforD2Linux.zip
Instruction for Windows:
GO DOWN TO POST #2 AND DOWNLOAD THE ONE STEP
1. Extract and Update Android SDK package to your computer. The file comes in a zip file. Just open it up and drag and drop the android-sdk-windows folder to your C drive. Next, extract the files from the DORoot zip file to the tools folder of Android SDK. You should be moving 7 or 8 files into the tools folder.
2. Install Motorola Drivers
(Tip, to stop the launching of the Verizon/Motorola site, go to the MotoConnect icon in the bottom right, right click, when phone connects, nothing.)
3. Make sure you phone is in PC Mode with USB Debugging enabled
PC Mode: Notification blind -> USB connection -> PC Mode
USB Debugging: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
You need USB debugging icon showing in notifications. Try Charge Only if you can't get PC Mode to show USB debugging.
4. Double-click and run doroot1.bat
5. Follow the instructions. You will enter into the shell and be prompted with a $.
6. enter [./data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin] and let it run. Can take up to 15 minutes before it boots you out.
6a. To check if rageagainstthecage worked it's magic, enter the shell with adb shell. You should see a # sign. If you don't, you need to run rageagainstthecage again by entering the command from step six.
6b. If you see the #, exit the shell by typing exit.
7. After being booted from shell and back to DOS, enter or double click doroot2.bat
8. That's it, you are done.
Instruction for Linux and Mac:
GO DOWN TO POST #2 AND DOWNLOAD THE 1-STEP!
1. Extract and Update Android SDK package to your computer. The file comes in a .tar.gz file. Just open it up and drag and drop the android-sdk-linux folder to your home directory or desktop. Next, extract the files from the DORoot zip file to the tools folder of Android SDK. You should be moving 7 or 8 files into the tools folder.
2. Make sure you phone is in PC Mode with USB Debugging enabled
PC Mode: Notification blind -> USB connection -> PC Mode
USB Debugging: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
You need USB debugging icon showing in notifications. Try Charge Only if you can't get PC Mode to show USB debugging.
3. Navigate to the tools folder of your android-sdk
[cd /android-sdk-linux_x86/tools]
4. enter [chmod 0755 doroot1.sh] then run it [./doroot1.sh]
5. Follow the instructions. You will enter into the shell and be prompted with a $.

6b. If you see the #, exit the shell by typing exit.
7. After being booted from shell and back to command prompt, [./doroot2.sh]
8. That's it, you are done.
Enjoy my works? Want to show your gratitude? Just want to help a poor college student out, donate via PayPal to: [email protected]. All donations are greatly appreciated. Money will be spent on escorts, food, adult beverages, higher education and its bs fees, paying off my phone, and the wonderful speeding ticket I got this week!
Hey Thanks alot for writing this! I just tried it out and ran until completion.
A few things I found.
In the dos prompt, part2 the program asks user to input a few commands. Commands 2 and 3 should end in .sh. The program dosent mention this.
Thanks again
Typo in the 3rd step. You forgot to add '.sh'.

Problem
Everytime i type: $ ./doroot2.sh
i get:
./doroot2.sh
./doroot2.sh: not found
thank for the help!
The " ./ " before doroot.sh tells linux to look in the current directory for the file to run. Make sure you in the tools directory of the sdk and that the script is there as well.

Should turn this in to a one click root app for D2. Couldn't you essentially do some modifications and run it from the phone?

I am working on it. Hahaha. I don't have any programming background. So I am learning on the fly, but progress is being made.
Though, I have to say that the process is much much much easier than what it originally began as. So... moving in the right direction.
I'm not much of a programmer. I'm on Windows. Do I need to chmod the files, and if so, how would I do that?

Just follow the instructions. Launch the doroot1.bat file. The .bat file will launch you into ADB shell. chmod the doroot2.sh file, then run it. adb shell again. chmod the doroot3.sh file and run that. Hope that helps. I am on google talk if you need help.
I'm stuck on the second step. Attempting to contact you through Google Talk...
Thanks, by the way.
please help!
i rooted manually and when i try to open superuser permissions icon i get a black screen...should i follow your steps to root now and will that work ??

You are okay. Superuser lists the program you've allowed superuser access to. You haven't given any apps access, therefore blank!
