Just Decided To Root My Droid Charge.
Cant Figure This Out Anywhere! I Need A Good "How To" or "Walkthrough"
Specs Are:
Hardware Version: i510.06
Firmware Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: i510.06 V.EE4
SCH-I510.EE1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
se.infraSEI-07 #1
Build Number: SCH-I510.EE4
Really Want To Root This The Easiest And Fastest Way Possible. Rooted My Samsung Captivate In 15 Minutes But This Droid Charge Root Stuff Is Confusing.
Also I Am Not In A 4G Area. I Live In Rhode Island If Anyone Knows Where That Is.
Easiest way possible.

Download the AlteredBeast (the one with the Burning DOWNLOAD)
This is ED2
Then get the second download of the rom. ( THE ONE WITH THE SPINNING FLOPPY DISK. NOT THE BURNING DOWNLOAD)
The second version is EE4 to be flashed in CWM.
Pull battery, plug OEM Cable into phone. Hold Vol Dn button and plug into PC. Replace battery. Open ODIN3. You will see a yellow box show up on your Odin showing you are connected and in Download mode.
Using the AlteredBeast download you just grabbed.
Click PDA. Browse to the .tar file. click ok (MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON PDA)
click start and let ODIN do it's thing.
Should get Passed 6:30 (or something around there) when done.
From here you have CWM+ROOT+VOODOO
Now you can flash any "FROYO" rom you want.
I would suggest staying away from the Gingerbread Roms from now as we are still testing them.
*Thanks to Grim and Philly for catching that I left out a step.*
more Charge root questions from a noob
I have the same question, but am an absolute noob...
- where can I find an overview of the rooting process and terminology? I do not exactly understand what happens when I root, what is flashing, what are CWM, VOODOO etc.
- Where can I find a walkthrough for the rest of the process:
>From here you have CWM+ROOT+VOODOO

I do not know where to find any FROYO, which one to pick, and how to flash 'em... I do not even understand what is that EE4 thing , and whether after downloading it - whether it has the operating system or not...
- Any backup and other precautions I need to take before starting the process?
- If I would like to go back to the version supplied by Verizon sometime in the future, how could I do that? I have exactly the same build, firmware etc. as in the first post of this thread.

Isn't the second one a .zip not a .tar........
Don't you need the .tar for Odin?

Yeah, he was mistaken and should probably fix his post before someone does something crappy.
If you're flashing the Altered Beast ROM he posted using Odin, you'll need to download the first file (the one on fire), the second file (spinning floppy) will not work with Odin because it's to be flashed with Clockwork Recovery.

Dragonstalker, when I get to that point in the process: Do I have the Altered Beast ROM installed, or am I still in / do I use the Stock EE4 ROM ?
... I am looking to get root access, but keep stability and functionality of the Charge as I bought it - I am not a hacker. So my questions are:
1. How do I do that?
2. What is the downside ?

What is the best Rom for the charge to date????

You can probably track down a version for whatever OTA build you desire.

Guys please forgive the newb question but I need to know the easiest way to do this without bricking my fathers phone.
Last week I flashed his stock Froyo phone to the leaked Gingerbread 2.3.6 version for his SG4G. He is not happy at all with the wifi and wanted to go back to the stock TMobile Froyo. I didnt want to attempt that, but now see that Samsung/TMob have the KJ6 Official release available. I want to know how can I flash this rom to his phone? Will mini Kies see his phone when I plug it in and recognize there is an upgrade available? Or is there a way to use Odin and load the official version of the rom to the phone? I really appreciate any direction you guys can provide me.
Thx
Ken

Ken,
* You would have to flash back to KD1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696) to get Kies to see the phone as a registered device. Thanks to Whitehawkx for that.
* ODIN can be used, too, thanks to RaverX3X. He created a version of stock KJ6 for ODIN for people having issues with Kies (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176)
Hope that helps.
First of all, I would like to apologize for the following flame and trolling. Why, why won't people FU**ING READ!? It ain't that hard! They teach you how to do that since Kindergarten! WTF?!?!?!?! OMFG!!! This has been answered only 100 times per day since source release and 2092189348093284323932873478893221 times since Raver made an Odin version. Now.........................
Go to Raver 2.3.6 KJ6 Odin in dev section. DL and flash through Odin (simple, put phone in dl mode, plug in computer, open odin, load rom file in pda after you extract it from zip, flash... done!). If you want cwm, flash KJ1 kernel from drhonk. Put zipped .tar file in pda section too... well, you gotta' know how Odin works. Same as I explained above, but with different file. Now you have official KJ6, which is same as leaked, with KJ1 (root, cwm). Not responsible for any bricks. This is what I did and worked.
Theres also a CWM version so if you prefer you can use the cwm method. Download rom zip, put in sd card, go to cwm, flash, wait, done. But I think you will have to flash Kj1 kernel to have root and remember to disable voodoo/etx4.
*Before flashing kj6, disable voodoo/ext4.

Well Chris, I wish we all were as smart as you with these phones. When I see a Q/A section in a Forum, I see it as just that. I dont care if the same question gets asked 5000000 times and you shouldnt either as long as its asked in the correct area in the forum, so flame away. Im not a developer, so I stay away from that area unless directed. FYI, just prior to your response I saw Stephens response and ventured into the developer area and found the Odin ver. of KJ6 to which I thank RaverX for and Stephen for pointing a "newb" in the right direction.
Sorry I put you out Chris for asking a question in the Q/A section of the forums....
Thanks to all for your support.
no the cwm version is pre rooted just the kernel is not ...
I'm not smart. Ask, Raver. Although the flame, I apologized and helped. Got it working?

LOL. Not yet, but he will be over tomorrow expecting me to fix my mistake (installing the non official release of 2.3.6). All i hear is how crappy the wifi is and how he cant use his wifi calling, LOL. Old timers....
Thanks again!
Chris calm down. Holy crap.
Desert, let me know if you have any more questions. Be sure to do a quick search prior to creating a new thread, but since this one is already created, that point is moot. Pm me if i don't respond. I've been super busy. Also i won't have an sgs4g for a while...I'm on a vibrant right now.

The hard way is usually what new owners of the Captivate learn, and fast, like I did over the past week or so. I ended up:
- getting the i897uckk4 Odin One Click - Stock ROM and flashing that so it was fully updated (at least as far as the AT&T stock stuff is concerned)
- located the Odin3 v1.85 flasher
- flashed the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar onto the Captivate (it's the stock KK4 kernel with CWM 5 ready to go)
- then used CWM to update/upgrade from a bunch of ROMs, currently using Doc's Master beta v9, but I've tried about 10 ROMs in the past few days, this one is working fine at the moment aside from some ROM Control FC issues, but it's beta obviously
That should get you going. Found all the files here by searching, use the names I just mentioned above to locate them as I didn't save individual links, sorry.
Hope this helps...
Thank U Very Much

Thank U Very Much, Your guild is awesome worked the 1st time, I been trying for 3 days NOW, THANK U SO Much.
Clockwork mod is a recovery kernel replacement which allows flashing of unsigned zip files. You flash or "reinstall packages" as an update.zip from the original recovery. This roots the phone and installs Clockwork recovery.
Flashing roms without knowing the three button method to get into recovery or the button combo to get into download mode could spell trouble for people who are just learning about rom flashing.
It takes a few months of reading threads until a level of understanding is reached where you can flash roms and get out of trouble on your own.

Soooo sorry to bother, but I'm at my wits end trying to root and remod my new captivate. The last one crapped out on me, so I was able to get a replacement, but I don't remember flashing it being this hard 6 months ago...lol! Anyway, here's my current stats and what I'm looking for:
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband: I897UCKK4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489
Build: Gingerbread.UCKK4
I can if need be flash it back to 2.1 with Odin, but I followed your instructions, and now I'm stuck. I can't for the life of me find the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel file anywhere, on here or elsewhere. I don't even think the phone is rooted now, which is very strange because I was able to flash it, but anyway...any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
I can't upload the Odin One Click ROM, it's too much for my current situation, but here's the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19019338/captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar
MD5: 8464e7cee89c7364d62b760c28a4ca73
File size: 6,359,040 bytes
and here's Odin v1.85 if you don't have it:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19019338/Odin3_v1.85.zip
MD5: 9a81990a61454402e8714f494bb4eb68
File size: 204,173 bytes
Now, the basics are thus so pay attention:
Since Samsung is never going to release a proper ICS build for us, from what I understand - let me repeat that: from what I understand everything is working with Gingerbread bootloaders, so that's the important aspect. Before you go flashing anything, you'll need to get the Captivate OFF Froyo of any version if you're still using it. So, update that thing using Samsung Kies to the latest version which is that KK4 ROM - that's all that's required.
Once you're done that, and you're "stock" then you would flash the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar kernel using Odin (run Odin with Admin privilege, put the Captivate in download mode, connect it, when detected, click the PDA button in Odin to load that captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar file, then Start to flash it). Once that's done you have the same kernel for KK4 but with CWM ready to go when you are with a proper GB bootloader and you're set.
The only reason I mentioned the Odin One Click above was because I did a few things that "pooched" my Captivate and soft-bricked it at one point but recovered it with Odin and the One Click when Kies couldn't do anything at all. There's a thread around here with all the Odin One Click ROMs, that's where I got mine from.
tl;dr version:
- if you're running any Froyo anything, use Kies to do the upgrade to Gingerbread, NOT the Odin One Click. Kies will update the bootloader from Froyo to GB as required (the Odin One Click was part of what caused my soft-brick, so I learned from the experience)
- if you're already running any Gingerbread ROM, you already have the GB bootloader, so you can use the Odin One Click to go to a pure stock AT&T basic clean ROM as mentioned above
- once you're "stock" use Odin v1.85 to flash the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar so you get the same stock kernel but CWM as well
- use CWM to install whatever ROM you want from that point on making sure the ROM archive(s) and any updates or whatever are copied to the internal storage
Personal suggestion: remove the microSD card from the Captivate before doing any flashing at all. Yes it's possible to read from that device (called the external SD in CWM), I simply don't recommend it, ever.
That's about it. The Odin One Click KK4 is not rooted, iirc, I can't say for certain at this moment either way. I only used it a few times to "save" me from the soft-brick. Now that CWM is in there, I've jumped from ROM to ROM over the past week or so but Doc's Master v8 is my fall back stable one so far. Obviously when you load a ROM, look at the Apps and if you don't see SU or SuperUser, it's not rooted.

Can't say on that respect, mine is not even being used as a phone, actually - it's basically a DAP/PMP/PocketPC for me.
Still can't find a service provider with a decent plan that I'd be willing to fork over some money for so, until I find one (if I ever do), this Captivate of mine won't even have a SIM in it.
You won't loose network unlock ever unless your EFS gets modified in anyway...

Thank you SO much for the links and all the time you put in to the explanation. I followed your suggestions, and now I'm running ICS Cyanogenmod 9 in dazzling full color!! You've made what could potentially be a very complicated process extremely easy...I wish I could thank your post 10-fold!! How is your ROM on battery life, btw? I was running CM 7 on my other Captivate, and it wasn't all that great on the battery...waiting to see how 9 works, but my girlfriend still insists it was because I had "too much junk" on the phone...lol! Thanks again!!
Battery life using Doc's Master v8 is as expected, didn't do any extended testing with the CM9 nightly, but then again I'm on the original Samsung stock battery too so, it doesn't hold a full charge anymore like a brand new one would.
I'm hoping to get some cash together soon to get that Anker 2-pack w/charger on Amazon (the 1800 mAh batteries that everyone raves about). I thought about getting the 3500 mAh monster extended on off eBay but, as I'm still trying to locate that Trident Cyclops case (which you just sent me 2 PMs about, thanks), I figure having 2 batteries instead of one would still be a more efficient solution while still being able to keep the Captivate in a nice protective case.
Maybe I need to do some guides for people and put up a donate button to get me some batteries and that case, who knows.
Glad the instructions proved useful.

Maybe I need to do some guides for people and put up a donate button to get me some batteries and that case, who knows.
Glad the instructions proved useful.

Bottom of the list, and apparently a new nightly was just posted a short time ago (20120412) so... time for a backup and a flash to see what's changed.
And also remember to get the latest Gapps from that site as well when flashing CM (which is 20120317)
