    Default [How-to] Root Froyo Official Release for Samsung Captivate

    Download

    Unzip the .zip file, and open the SuperOneClick program.

    Plug in your phone (with USB debugging enabled). Click "Root"

    Click Yes/OK on all the windows that pop up.

    If the test passes, you're now rooted!

    TO INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY

    Because the recovery on Froyo has changed, you have to downgrade to Eclair to install Clockwork. After doing that, you can use the Eclair root/clockwork methods to install clockwork.

    If you really want clockwork with stock Froyo, check out .

    If TI doesn't get SU permission you simply need to shut off and re-start your phone, update SU and get Busybox.

    Same here. After installing and running SuperOneClick it passes the tests, although it failed reading the unlock code. Then can't install Busybox, after uninstalling and reinstalling busybox a couple of times. When installings, gets error message saying "The application failed, either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount." I can't believe I was running a great 2.2.1 ROM and decided to try the official release.

    *Try redownloading the file.* Twice,installed,uninstall.....3 times same error

    *If TI doesn't get SU permission you simply need to shut off and re-start your phone, update SU and get Busybox* 3 times, even Dl'd the PRO version and got the following error *The application failed, either because your device is not nand unlocked....*

    Yes, and I can see the "debugging mode" icon in ribbon,BTW I am a "1010" build, not sure if that matters but I seem to recall in some thread somewhere,something about the "1010" builds, Everything else, GPS,bluetooth,SMS,phone audio, LauncherPro,3d screens everything runs fast smooth, except installing TiBu

    Update-Success! after a battery pull and plenty of cursing,the following worked;
    1. root with super one click- reboot phone
    2. download install TiBu- reboot phone
    3. start TiBu, select problems button (after seeing denial of root) install busy box, allow su permission- Success, deleting bloat now

    - Thanks to everyone who responded, and yes rereading every post twice does help, thanks again

    1010 build only matters for Odin, not rooting. Glad you worked it out!

    The unlock code thing might not work on 2.2. What is your issue with the rooting part?

    Ok I finally got it even though I have XP for some reason I had to run it has Administrator. First time I had to do that but it finally worked and I have super user rights.
    The thing is I just got home from the Middle East and a run to Africa and all I did was hook my phone up to update files. I see a update available and before reading anything I did it. My phone was rooted with Z4 root and when it was done all I had was a blank screen. So I went and started from a fresh phone removing all my data. I didn't even realize it was a Froyo Update until I started reading the threads. Finally got it hope it works ok. Need to catch up on the talk about what is going on.

    Running 2.2 official update. I read in another blog to do the "shell root" first, so I did that, which went through fine, then did the "root" command. I rebooted, but did not get su status, so tried a hard reboot, removing the battery, etc. Booted back up with root! Just now used One Click Lag Fix and increased Quadrant benchmark from 835 to 1900. True.

    EDIT: Used Win7 x64 for the root process.

    Reinstall, try another computer, make sure USB Debugging is on.

    Hi, I just tried to root my phone and it said successful but
    when I open Tibu it says NOT rooted. What am I doing wrong? When I use SuperOneClick should I first got to the Captivate tab and hit unlock code? Then go to Universal and hit root??
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Try rebooting. Unlock code doesn't have to do with rooting.

    Try unrooting it and running it again.

    Maybe uninstall and reinstall TiBu.
