Root [TOOL/ROM] Unleash The Beast V0.1 EASIEST WAY TO ROOT & MORE

[picklesNICKLES]

All I have done so far to my phone is rooted it. I am about to flash this, but if something goes wrong will I be able to go back to how the phone was before?

you can use odin to flash it back to what it came like when you first opened the box if anything goes wrong

When I open terminal and type "su"...it says superuser has to force close. Then on the blue terminal screen, it says permission denied. Any suggestions?

EDIT:

Nvm, downloaded the most up to date version of Superuser off the market and it works perfectly . On a sidenote, the wireless tethering app doesn't work for me either. I installed rom manager and checked "fix permissions". All that did is allow it to open up, but as soon as I try to start it, it force closes.

Interesting. I'll definitely check this out. Those ATT bloatware are really annoying.

 

[rickygotskills]

OK, Kidz. I just ran Unleash the beast. Phone is rebooting.............Sweeeet! No more AT&T junk. And, all my own loaded software is still installed. Plus! Now I've got superuser, wireless tether, market access! YAY!

Kudos to Mr. Alfonso! Time to donate...

You have to get the new one from the market....

Superuser is the whole root access part. It's vital to having a rooted phone. It sets the permissions and allows the phone to do those things a rooted phone does. Examples being...installing a custom rom, being able to access the system part of the phone, you know, the part that you normally can't get to, in order to remove the bloatware, change ringtones, as well as the boot animation.

Terminal emulator is used just to run scripts. When someone makes a custom rom, they can input scripts, like keeping 50MB of ram space free, or manually pushing or pulling apps from the system part of the phone. A lot can be done with scripts, which is where terminal emulator comes in. You need it to input scripts...

Well thanks for the info.

Is there a way to put it back to factory settings? I'm send it back to AT&T and get another captivate or different phone >,<

The best way is to use Odin and a stock rom. You can find both of these from either links on this website or on XDA. I would link them myself but don't have them handy. If you can't find it on XDA or here for some reason, just Google Odin Captivate Stock rom or some combination of those and you should be fine.

I was wondering. Is there a stock rom like update.zip file i can drop and reboot etc etc. Instead of [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers - xda-developers ??

 

[bword]

Can I use rom manager to install this zip file if I copy it onto the root folder ?

 

[bword]

Just did this and its noticeably faster..im just having a hard time uninstalling the wireless tether app!

 

[bword]

You can delete the app by using the file manager Root Explorer..... you'd go into the system/apps folder and delete it.

Is there anything out there thats free instead of using Root Explorer to uninstall the broken tethering app??

 

[codyrapol]

I'm not sure what place to put the update.zip in. I made a directory called "sdcard" on the main memory, but it is not working

No you need to put the zip file in the main folder. So if you click on the drive from my computer just drag it in there.

 

[toawkanavngthded]

ahhh for some reason i cannot get into recovery mode!!! can someone please help me??

edit: i did the one click root mac and wanna do utb... do i just dl the file rename to update.zip and replace the existing update.zip on my internal sd? if so i did that and tried getting into recovery mode but no go... if i have my usb plugged into my mac and power off and then hold power, up, down, nothing happens... it shows my battery charging... no recovery mode.... any suggestions??? just bought my captivate a couple hours ago

I messed up my Market Acess apk when I did a TI backup after installing the UTB.

How can I uninstall the Market Access apk?

I have a fresh copy of the apk on my PC and can sideload it. I have tried several times but the Side Load Wonder machine says it is already there and fails to overwrite it.

Any ideas?

What does it say exactly in the cmd prompt window?

What does it say exactly in the cmd prompt window?

pkg: /data/local/tmp/to_install.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]

I don't see Market Access or Market in manage applications. So I can't clear the cache nor can I uninstall them.

 

[skeepon]

i renamed the folder, put it in the sd card(internal) and put my captivate into recovery mode, hit reinstall, and it starts installing, then says "installation aborted". any solutions for this?

 

[gnick4]

I am trying to reinstall packages and it keeps coming up with an error 7 message. Any thoughts?

 

[gnick4]

Never mind it was antivirus that was causing the error.
