Should tell you what you need. I believe sideload wonder works only if you have installed the android sdk which you can just google and download it. Put the android sdk in the root of your c: drive of your computer. I think you need to place the sideload wonder in the tools section of the android sdk too. Afterwards, I had problems getting the phone to be recognized by my computer. I got mine to work by installing SEUS on my computer and preparing it for update. It will install the necessary drivers for your phone to work. (There is also an update for AT&T rom if you want to install it, but I haven't seen any difference after the update.)
FYI - I never got sideload wonder to work on my computer, but I did learn how to use the adb method of sideloading apps. Sideload wonder is just a "pretty" version of the adb method, so I would just learn how to do it via that way. You can check out this thread called adb for noobs.

PM me if you have any questions but replying on the first thread I posted will probably get you better results, but of course read up first!
Good Luck.

I had a lot of problems trying to root my phone after I upgraded my firmware to 2.2 using the SuperOneClick application however, I did manage to come up with a fix that worked for me.
(Please note: that I can not be held responsible for any damage this may cause to your phone)
When I first tried using the SuperOneClick I notice that the applicaiton would hang "waiting for device". I received the following advice but it didn't work:
When the application gets to the "Waiting for device" prompt complete the following.
-Unplug usb from phone
-Uncheck usb debugging
-Replug usb cable
-Unplug usb cable
-Recheck usb debugging
-Replug usb cable.
Rince and repeat until successful rooting.
If you have tried this and it didn't work then try the following:
Google JuneFabrics PdaNet Andriod and download / install the PdaNet for Android.
During the installation you will be prompted to install new USB drivers so that your phone can connect to your PC. However, if you have ever connected your phone to Kies or for file transfer then say no to the install.
Once you have the program installed go back to SuperOneClick and run as administrator.
Happy Rooting...
It worked for me on my second try without having to download PdaNet, but I know it can be a pain in the a$$
SuperOneClick worked for me on first try on Captivate 2.2!
Also worked first try on my friend's Bell Galaxy S.

No z4root is not working. The exploit it use only works on 2.1 not 2.2. The app will FC / freeze or just close.
Also just a note on the SOC. Please don't start thread saying the usb unplug/replug method worked or didn't for you. This IS the way it works. If it worked on your first try, well good for you go buy a lottery ticket cause it's your lucky day.
The success rate is 100% but the number of tries is random. Could work on your 5th attemp like it can on your 1st or 2th.
Sorry guys for my silly question
but what is super one click and where can i get it ?
Thanks

Normal 3e clockwork recovery has signature verification which prevents a lot of the files here from being flashed on your phone (because they are not officially verified/signed). There's a modified 3e clockwork file that you can put on your phone. When I first installed it for my own rooted phone, I used untermensch's 3e_recovery_installer.zip which was easy and didn't require any terminal stuff.
hook up your phone to a computer with the galaxy s drivers (using PDAnet works great). then run the script. the script is kinda wonky so it took a few tries to work.
let us know how that goes

I found that to actually flash this ROM, you need to do the steps I mentioned, above.
with 2.2 jp3 or jp2 , u don't need do root it so far . use Odin3 downgrade it to 2.1 and use oneclickroot .......... ( use adb to enter download mode with some model can't use 3 button . "fastboot reboot download"
this superoneclick does not work
I have tried this method multiple times, all seems to go right, i get superuser showing up in my app drawer, yet when i use clockworks recovery to flash a new recovery I get the "failed to verify whole-file signature" followed by the next line "signature verification failed Installation aborted"...
I have the rogers captivate, it has been updated to android 2.2, Android system recovery <3e>.
I have also tried the adb version of rooting with the same result. Not sure if anyone has actually gotten theirs to work on rogers, they really should make a video or a more detailed list. Im not new to rooting or anything, but the instructions versus the results are not adding up. Hope there are others with success stories that they would like to share.
WOW you know you have 3e recovery. Search info on it.
you will find that 3e has signature verification... thats why your zips fail!!!
you will also find the 3e recovery FIX..

Make sure you've got the Samsung USB Drivers installed
Make sure you check allow usb dev in settings
open up super one click
connect your phone and you should be good to go...you probably don't have the mobile drivers isntalled
Heres the 64 bit drivers

My PC is windows 7 64bit and kies works fine + windows 7 is brilliant for drivers. Try flashing using Odin with stock 2.2 can be found easily with detailed instructions, just Google it. Then try rooting from there. Wouldn't worry about warranty, your making your phone work better. Have fun.

try reinstalling kies then running the link I sent you, it should work fine. I'm running 64bit windows and everythings works great for me.

Here's the question I have. If I completely uninstall everything, drivers, keis, etc. and then re-install Keis - I get thet MTP failed drivers error with windows.
So then I was told to install the Windows Samsung x64 bit drivers (which I do) -- but this doesn't work either.
Then I try to "reinstall drivers" from Keis - but this does nothing either.
Any and all combinations of the above has been tested and failed -- it just sits there "trying to connect" to device - but nothing ever happens, ever.
Keis is by far the stupidest program I've ever come across - how can it possibly not work right out of the box ? I have seem hundreds of people in my case - there is no excuse for such ****ty software.
Heres the thing - I want to flash, but I want to back up all my apps and stuff first, which I can't do without ROOT
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to flash away, but not until I back up all my apps - Titanium requires ROOT which is why I am here... i need to figure out a way to root so I can back up my stuff (i have like 160 apps I don't want to re-download)
Any ideas on how to back up apps WITHOUT needing to root ?

If you flash clockwork mod recovery or a kernel that incorporates it then you can backup and restore your apps in /data from there
Hope this helps!

Ok well forget using keis and just try flashing with Odin. Make sure keis isn't open when you do this though. You will have to put the phone in to download mode to flash it with Odin. Or if you don't want to mess about with Odin make sure USB debugging is off and try using the other USB setting like mass storage then it wont go through keis when you connect it. Hope this helps

Okay first of all, let me start by saying this is my first post and I AM a noob, so be patient.
Okay, my problem is that I can't root my Sprint Samsung Intercept. I've tried SuperOneClick, Z4Root, Universal Androot, and some other one. NOTHING has worked. The SuperOneClick somewhat worked, it installed SuperUser but when I downloaded apps that require a root, they said my device isn't rooted.
I'm with Sprint and running 2.2.1.
Pease help because this is driving me crazy!!
i dont know how this stuff works either but my brother has that phone. it could be your usb isn't reading. or rather, your computer isn't recognizing the device. google samsung intercept usb and you'll see a lot of issues. this may not be your problem but its better to tell you just in case. so far for his cell phone, because he wants to tether it to his computer, so far nothing works. not downloading the right drivers. loading without debugging. mounting the sd card. thats one big solution that hasn't worked. i have high hopes for this other fix, to load samsung pc studio. New_PC_Studio_1.4.0.IL2_4.exe is the file. you can google and find it.
this site has some info. if it works and i remember to, ill repost and let you know.
en.kioskea (take out space, insert a dot)net/forum/affich-240949-samsung-sgh-f480-usb-driver-problem
hope this helps. if not then good luck. and heck if anyone else knows why exactly it does this and a real fix other than the whole disable usb debugger issue. then let me know. i even thought about trying to load the sdk for android to see if that would create some sort of connection with the phone and computer. thanks and take care
hope this helps
sdx-developers is the best place for intercept developement

follow the first step to get SWUpgrade setup (the rest is instructions for eclaire [pretty sure])
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...-2-2-(easy-root-via-swupgrade)-(battery-mod)/
flash this kernal with SWUpgrade and youll be rooted.
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...important-features-working!)-(updated-11311)/
i assume youll be wanting a recovery as well i recommend cm01 get the tar and flash it just like the kernal
intercept doesnt have many custom roms but there is tons of mods you can apply to the stock rom
I tried SWUpgrade and I bricked my last phone but it didn't matter because it was already defective.
Sent from my SPH-M910 using XDA App
did you patch SWUpgrade? delete everything in the binary folder except the file you were trying to flash?
ive never had a problem with it. it even saved me from quite a few softbricks in the short time ive had my intercept.
I did everything the videos and forums said to do. When I did that I got a different kernal but I couldn't get any service, my phone would restart every 2-5 minutes, and it would randomly vibrate. Until I got another one. I finally got SuperOneClick to get passed the "waiting for device" stage and I supposedy rooted my phone, when I tried to install apps that required root access they said my device is not rooted.

My friend has the samsung intercept and I was going to help him root it. I have tried Z4root and gingerbreak but they didn't work.
Does anyone have a site on how to root? Or instructions?
I am a very experienced android user and I am very comfortable with ADB if it is needed.
Anybody know?
Let's try again. Does anyone here know?
S.D.X. Everything you need to know for the intercept
Yes I found that method as well. We tried that about twenty times along with another 1 click at xda, z4, and gingerbreak. Is there an Adb method? Also, would rageagainstthecage work?

S.D.X. is a website S.D.X. developers They have several guides to rooting.I rooted mine with a programed called sw updater with my pc but now ther are easier ways.
Ok thank you I will check it out
You're going to need to run one (or several) of the root exploits (until they 'take') and then edit some files manually via adb to make it permanent. See the SDX Developers website as previously noted.
It won't let me post a link but Google this...
how-to-install-custom-kernelrom-on-your-intercept-using-cm01-recovery
I did it with SWUpgrade Tool, but...
1) Even though I could connect and swap files between my phone and my computer over USB, SWUpgrade for some reason would not recognize my USB connection on Windows XP SP 3. This page along with the Samsung driver link on the same page saved my ass...
Google this - Troubleshoot driver error June Fabrics android
2) With the SWUpgrade you have to be really quick and unplug the USB and take out the battery when he says to, or you will not get the custom recovery installed. It took me about 4 tries before I was able to get the custom recovery in my phone.
I previously did the rageagainstthecage method, and while it worked, at one point I stupidly took out the battery when it froze before I had put in a custom recovery and done a backup and I very nearly bricked my phone. It would not bootup after that no matter what. Fortunately I was able to boot into the Virgin Mobile recovery and start from scratch wiping and resetting my phone, but I had to re-download all my apps from the Market all over again which fortunately the Market kept a record of.
I used the first link for the kernel and I am very happy. Just take it slow, be careful, and follow the instructions exactly.
