rooting captivate 2.2

how do u root with z4root with out being able in install any 3rd party apps

!!
please help!!!!

Do alittle more research on the whole root process. 2.2 is a little weird but instructions are out there. I would not use any app to root Basically you need to find the right zip and install that with the button recovery.
Also don't expect an immediate response. Just because no one respond in 5 minutes does not mean they won't

I had to use a side loading app to get z4root installed on my phone and then rooted it from there.
Google "captivate side loading" and you should be able to find the app you need the name escapes me at the moment.

Sideload Wonder Machine from Android Central worked great for me.

Watch this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFHLVF1aA0Q
If you can get an app to load and work on your machine to side load the apps you are ready to go. If not, i.e. Vista 64bit is an issue for DroidExplorer, you can use simple adb commands.
Like the video says... assuming you have the SDK and drivers installed. This is also assuming a computer running windows, if you are running Linux well... if you are running Linux you should be able to translate
1. Open a command prompt
2. change directories to the platform-tools directory where ever you installed the 3. SDK. i.e. C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
4. Turn usb debuging On via the phone Settings->Applications->Development and check Usb debuging
5. connect your phone to the PC with the usb cable
6. type adb devices
If you then see something like this you are ok to continue, if not you need to figure out what is wrong with either your SDK install or your driver install
List of devices attached

7. type adb install <location of your z4root.apk file> i.e. adb install c:\apks\z4root.apk
8. You will see adb copy the file and install to the phone. (If it fails start reading more in the dev section here. All the answers are there)
9. Disconnect your phone and open up z4Root on the phone and root it.
That should help. All of the steps above and A LOT more are in the dev section here, as posted above search and read and ye shall have all the fun you want.

Follow the rooting guide on youtube from mobiletechvideo(?), he has a bunch of videos, one is how to flash cognition based rom onto your phone (but the first step is rooting, so you could skip the rest if you didn't want to flash a rom).
Hope it helps

A quick tutorial to ROOT Micromax A50 Ninja

Please charge your phone atleast 50% or above before you follow the guide.
I am not providing any screenshots.
Steps:
1. Download all the attached files to this post.
2. Unzip mt65x3 usb vcom drivers.7z and install the drivers.
3. Create a folder in C drive or anywhere you like and unzip SP Flash Tool v2.1134.00.7z.
4. Copy the files MT6573_Android_scatter.txt and boot.img to the folder you created and unzipped the SP Flash Tool v2.1134.00.7z.
5. Open the folder where you extracted SP Flash Tool v2.1134.00.7z and right click on the Flash_tool.exe and run as Administrator.
6. In the Flash tool window, click on File and Open Scatter-loading File and on the pop-up window, select the file MT6573_Android_scatter.txt and click Open
7. A pop-up might appear, click OK and if you see any kind of error, ignore it.
8. A list on the bottom pane should appear of the flash tool window. Uncheck all excet BOOTIMG and click or double click on the BOOTIMG. On the pop-up window, select the boot.img file that you copied earlier and Open.
9. Click on Options of the Flash tool and click USB Mode if not selected.
10. Now you are ready to flash your phone.
11. Switch off your phone and take out the battery. Put your battery back on the phone. Do not switch on. Connect it to your PC with the USB cable without pressing any button on the phone. Now windows should find the drivers and install it. After drivers are installed, unplug the cable from your phone. Take out the battery from the phone and put it back again. Do not switch on.
12. Now on the Flash Tool window click on the Download button. A message will appear on the bottom right of the window 'Please insert USB cable in 14 seconds', with the counter running. While its running, connect your phone to the PC. If you fail to do it, repeat Step 12.
13. When connected properly, you will see a yellow progress bar, after finishing 100% a pop up window will appear saying BOOTIMG downloaded. You are done.
14. Now unplug your phone, take the battery out, put it back and start the phone normally as you do. Let it fully boot. (Nothing should be wrong, cuz nothing happened to mine. I tested it first. Ashik Anwar second.)
15. Enable USB Debugging on your phone and and connect it to the PC.
16. Installing USB ADB Drivers or USB Debugging Drivers:
Unzip usb_driver.zip.
Open 'Device Manager'.
Right click on 'Micromax A50' and click 'Update Driver Software'.
On the new window, click 'Browse my computer for driver software', then click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.
Click 'Have Disk'.
On the new Pop-up window, click 'Browse' and go to the folder where you previously unzipped the drivers and open the folder usb_driver.
Now select from the list of files 'android_winusb.inf' and click 'Open', then click 'OK'.
Now from the list of 3 options, select 'Android ADB Interface' and click 'Next'.
An 'Update Driver Warning' will appear, click 'Yes'.
Another Warning will appear asking 'Would you like to install this device software.
Click Install.
Now the drivers should be installed.
17. Now unzip unlockroot23.zip and install the unlockroot23.exe and run the program.
18. Now time to root. On the UnlockRoot window, click ROOT and the program will root it. When finished, it will ask you to restart your phone. So switch it off and switch it on again.
19. Now after you have switched on your phone, browse through the Apps Drawer. You should find an application called Superuser.
You are ROOTED!!!
Still check it by installing an app that needs root permissions, like Root Explorer.
Install BusyBox from PlayStore cuz some programs need it for root access.
Thanx to Varun for providing the modified boot.img and thanx to all the developers for their hard work in cracking and hacking Android for the benefit of the people.
To overclock, Install MTK CPU-Control test from PlayStore. Doesnt need root.
You can overclock upto 806MHz. Enable Set on boot.
Overclock To 754MHz for stability issues.
Enjoy folks!!!
EDIT:
If you are getting error while flashing, repeat the steps.
If you are unable to boot, please flash the original_boot.img
Remember to run the Flash Tool as Administrator
Also the UnlockRoot program as Administrator
I am not responsible for the death of your phone

So sorry
Been busy
Read this whole website for anything related to Mediatek processors for flashing.
http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.in/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html
You need to have a linux machine, Ubuntu, to unpack the boot.img, making unsecure to 1 and the repack it. Flash it back.
I dont have a linux machine anymore.
Searh the net for tutorials.
Bootloader unsecure.
I dont have the time and also aint using the A50 anymore.
Dont mind
Goodluck.

You can find the drivers here.
The ADB tool is installed as part of the Android SDK.

It's always good to see new aspiring developers!
The answers you seek are here, here and here - as well as on the individual manufacturers websites of the specific devices and other android resources online.
What you want to do requires a level of technical knowledge and learning that will take time, patience and more then a little frustration. Wizardry, they used to call it.
There is no 5 minute solution, your best bet would be to install the android sdk and java jdk, start learning how to use them, and install and learn linux if you aren't already using it.
What you want is what most of us want, and what we are here learning to do - welcome to the journey, it's certainly an exciting one!

Why don't you copy your apk to your sd card then use appinstaller from googleplay to install them? You can manually take out your sd card, plug into your pc, copy then plug sd card back to your phone OR download "Myphoneexplorer client" from googleplay to your phone, also download it to your pc, now you can transfer files wirelessly from your computer to your phone.

[Q] need to update to stock image - i think?

Hello,
I bought a used galaxy nexus S that is on version 2.3.6.
It does not seem to be reading any sim cards and the baseband version is listed as unknown.
I think it may be on a custom rom because of this. I want to flash it back to a stock rom but have no idea where to start. I downloaded 4.1.1
the google site. which I can`t link to because I am new here..
my nexus s is I9020A so i downloaded that version of jellybean but have no idea where to go from here.
Are there any easy to follow guides? And am I even on the right track here?

Thank you. I am already confused at step 5 of installing the SDK though. which is:
5 - Once you're finished go to your SDK installation "extras\google\usb_driver" dir
Where exactly is the folder extras?

i will make a couple of screen captures to show you how to set it up the foloders and commands. wait a couple of minutes

Cool thanks!
I still don't understand what SNS stands for?
Google says social networking services... but step 8 is: Make sure the SNS is connected to the PC via the USB cable
So I doubt that..

here they are
read carefully the last image (i wrote some tips in the command window)

looks like SNS just means the phone somehow..

That would be extremely helpful!
Thanks so much.

-put phone on fastboot mode (turn off, vol+ and power)
-plug to pc
-put your nexussrootnew folder in root of your driver (mine is: local disk(C: ) ) and in there put the images downloaded from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images (be carefull to download the right image for your phone!!!!!!)
-unzip one time (in that unzip folder u should have a radio file, a bootloader file, a zip folder,and 2 more files that u dont need)
- put the unzip folder on: (C: ) / nexusstooneew
-open a command prompt (click "windows key+r" then type "cmd")
-check the pics and the commands
help understanding pics:
1: win+r and type cmd
2: "cd.." means go back in the previous folder and "cd" means open folder, hit enter to make the command work
now type:
-fastboot oem unlock (will erase all your data) to get your bootloader unlocked and the nexts steps working
- fastboot flash bootloader (drag and drop bootloader.img file)
-fastboot reboot-bootloader (wait 5 secs)
-fastboot flash radio (drag and drop radio.img)
-fastboot reboot-bootloader
-fastboot -w update (drag and drop the zip file wich is in the main folder of the android image that u downloaded) (see 4 pic, the file is hightlighted) ("-w" means full wipe = clean install)

Please, how can i flash cwm 6.0.19 manually?

Hello, please be patient with me. I need to install a cwm to change a korean rom, but when i go to the market and install the rom manager, when i click, says that my phone is not on the list. My phone is a korean vega 5 im-t100k and i've found a download web for this phone http://mizal.net:82/pantech/NO.5. And i've found this CWM_6.0.19_For_T100K.zip to download. ok, when i decompress, it appears a directory with 6 files: adb.exe, fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, installer.bat and recovery.img. Well, i've rooted my phone with unlock root and superuser works ok. I've installed adb in my windows 8 and i have access to my vega 5. Ok, I connect windows 8 with my phone in debuggin mode and transfer files with no problem. Ok, i've opened the directory with the 6 files and clicked on installer, it appears the terminal and says is looking for device, but nothing else. Please i've been looking information all around the web but it's all a mess. Please someone would be so kind to tell me how to do it step by step?. Thank you very much in advance, i'm desperated.

You need to have the phone's drivers installed on your computer. Try connecting the phone in USB Debugging mode and install the drivers. You can check the device manager in control panel to see if you have working drivers or not.
Let me know if it didn't work.
