I got it rooted fine.
But when I go to remove the Bloatware I get this.
adb shell
su
Permission Denied
I'm getting the same message. I have busybox installed, and I'm rooted, have the drivers and everything.
Some help would be much appreciated.
how did you root?
The One-Click Root for Mac.
And now I'm using Windows for everything. Is that my problem?
Say Reinbeau; I've been stuck on the cmd prompt route...can't even get adb shell, says cmd not found, installed sdk a few itmes and Im in tools dir, but no cmds are working.Can I suggest an even easier way of editing and manipulating the settings.db file? I used a combination of Root Explorer, SQLite Editor and Dropbox, modified from this link. You zip and copy settings.db from your Captivate to Dropbox, then you can edit it in Firefox, zip it, copy it back, and manipulate it from there - or I found I could copy the file to another folder I created (modified market), edit the file in there with SQLite, save the file and then copy it back to the original folder following their directions. The one thing you have to be careful of is making sure you're mounted R/W instead of R/O in Root Explorer or you'll get errors, something like 'permission denied'.
The Sideload Wonder Machine is nice, but I'm not always at my computer when I find something I want to try, this method made sideloading totally contained on the Captivate. Works a charm
I was asking cause you may have done a temporary root....but thats not the case, why dont you try to reroot, something caused you to lose it. you cant get any other apps that need root to work right?
OK please don't get frustrated with me as I have read and read and tried the Swm. There was also this cmd method that I have tried. I've downloaded lots of things. I do have my phone rooted. Also busybox and a few other things but I'm just having a terrible time. I need a way without having to use my computer if possible. Also while I'm asking questions, what is the fastest web browser for the captivate? Would changing my rom help me do anything? I'm so lost. Please help me.
Well maybe I'm just not doing it right. I down load one thing then it tells m I need another thing and my phone says it will not download anymore BC there isn't enough storage and idk why that would b. I thought I had everything so I tried and the Cmd kept telling me that it could not locate the file or some sort of msg like that.
Tried rooting... the install seems to work at first... but then it errors out as it tries to "Install from SDcard....
it finds it
opens it
verifying update package....
then errors that reads... "E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted".
Any thoughts?
I dismounted the SD card totally and tried again... but to the same effect.
Thanks for your help
BTW, my Captivate is upgraded to 2.2 frodo; if that makes a difference on the root file.
