I am running 2.2 and I have tried One Click Root and Z4root and a few others but when I try to Reinstall the Packages I keep getting an error. On one blog almost all the comments were from people experiencing the same problem but no one would give them an answer. I am not new to rooting Android phones because I started back when the G1 came out and I have rooted other peoples phones over the years but this phone is pissing me off.
Here is the blog that I was talking about: http://www.intomobile.com/2011/02/02/root-samsung-galaxy-s-captivate-and-vibrant/
EDIT: I finally got it rooted. I want to thank everyone who helped me. I installed the Clockwork Recovery and CM7 + Gapps.
If you don't have important stuff on there I would just Odin a pre-rooted stock ROM

I have the Astro file manager.
Place this file in your internal sd.
http://db.tt/er5nBa0B
Hold your vol up /down and power buttons. When vibrant screen comes up, release the power button but keep holding the vol buttons this will put you in recovery. Hit reinstall packages and it should take you to Red recovery screen, this means all text will be red. It may take a couple of times but once you turn red, you will be rooted.
As always, I am not responsible if you brick your phone and don't forget to hit the thanks button.
Edit : make sure the name of the file is Update.zip no other variations will work. You can change the name to read that in case it reads Update.zip.zip . DO NOT UNZIP.

Probably another stupid error on my part, but my Android keyboard has disappeared. Apparently I am one of only a few that doesn't like the Swype keyboard.
So I rooted my phone, and also am running LauncherPro. It wasn't until I installed LP that I discovered that my Android keyboard disappeared. When I long hold in a text input box, the keyboard prompt comes up.....but Swype is the only selectable option.
Fwiw, I hadn't touched any apps at all after rooting......when I noticed this. Shortly after, I started disabling some apps (never deleted any)....by changing the file names from APK to BAK. I wonder if maybe I just didn't notice until later.....and possibly have disabled whatever file the Android keyboard is in?
Suggestions? Fwiw, when I go to Setting>keyboards......Swype is the only thing there as well. I have also uninstalled LP and reinstalled, for ****s and giggles.
Help!!!! I hate Swype!!!
Thanks to anyone that gives this a shot.
I'm in the same boat. Also tried flashing from rom manager, with no success. Running dj05/.9 superclean/stupidfast 1.54.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
You can reload the Rom if it was there to begin with.
Also, why rename BAK?
In the original thread of rooting over at androidcentral it was recommended to rename them with a .old at the end and not change the APK. This way the file stays but no longer shows in the dock.
Also, if you have the files on your computer to restore your phone you can just nuke the stuff you don't want as long as it doesn't have a necessary purpose for the OS.
I am still new to the hacking stuff. I am halfway wondering if I lost my Android keyboard when I rooted. I followed the AndroidCentral thread for the one click root....and was successful. Fwiw, I cannot successfully install ROM manager either.....so I couldn't fix an earlier problem by running my backup from Clockwork.
Should I remove the root, and install another? Again, I am green to all of this stuff.....so the easier stuff is worded or instructions are given, the better. I guess I'm old.

Remove your battery, hold the volume down button and plug in while still holding the button down. The screen should come up with a yellow android guy and ODIN should show "COM" something or another in the top left box. This is how you get in to Download.

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
Hi Everyone,
I'm a total noob at this stuff so thank you in advance for your patience. A while back I installed the 1-click clockwork mod to root my phone. This morning I got the system notification about the EC05 update. I clicked the button to begin the install and walked away. When I returned I saw the following message:
E:Error in /cache/5f372cb40834.update-SPH-D700_DI18ToEC05.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
My phone appears to be frozen there. It doesn't do anything when I hold the power button down, I hope I didn't brick this thing.
I've seen mention of using Odin to flash back to stock. That's something I'll be looking into but if anyone could chime in to help speed up my recovery I'd appreciate it. Is there any chance that I'll be able to retain my contacts list at this stage?
If you had your contacts backed up on a Gmail account, they'll resync once you sign in again.
I'm rooted on clockwork 2.5.1 and my oTA failed. Everything else is stock. I tried a manual update and it failed also.

Not sure if I've done that or not. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Looking at ODIN it appears I have to start with my phone powered down. It's not doing anything when I hold the power button. Should I just pull the battery?
If you saved your contacts to Google then yes they are saved. If you don't know then go online to your gmail acct and when tmyiu log in to your email you'll see all your contacts to the left. So when you get your phone up and runnunig when you log into your gmail acct it will sync all your contacts to your phone. As far as Odin if your phone is locked up then that's the best bet. Trust me its easy. Since their isn't a tar file yet to ec05 your best bet is to Odin a fresh install of di18 and then you can accept the update or do it yourself. I can't post links using tapatalk that I'm on but look in the development section for Odin. You will need Odin and the di18 tar file. If someone comes thru here maybe they can post it. Anymore questions just ask or you can pm me. Good luck.

I think that one click root removed the Asphalt 5 Demo apk, which may have caused your problem. If you cannot get the phone to boot, your going to have to wipe it, and start over. If you can, then reinstall the Asphalt 5 and try again. Hopefully your contacts were saved to Google, you can log into your Gmail account and look for them there. There should be a warning when you add a contact on your phone that states what the repercussion are if you add to the phone instead of Google. I have my contacts & calendar backed up on Outlook , Gmail, and even my Ipad (Ipads are crap BTW). Good luck.

Okay, I have successfully rebooted my phone. It's still running DI18. But since I'm having issues I'm going to hold off on the update until I get home from work to try and figure everything out.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
What happens when you pull the battery and place it back in? Does it go to the same spot? I think I read somewhere that some people were successfully using Odin with the battery removed. I guess you could remove the battery, plug in the USB, hold 1 and hit the power button and give it a try.

That's what I did, and it worked as you described. My phone is working again (just like it was before I initiated the OTA update) so I'm going to wait and try this again after work when I have more time.
I'm glad you at least have your phone. When you used the one click root it removed a stock app and put clockwork recovery on your phobe. That's why its not taking it. Your best bet is sometime yo Odin a fresh di18 and then it will take it fine. Or wait a little bit and there will be a tar file to ec05 that you can put in Odin to flash directly there. If you.need anything you can.pm me.

There's a very easy manual Odin + Froyo + root + no.kill.data procedure out there on the webz (first came across it on another forum, which thanks a dev here on XDA) and I must say that it was very very straightforward. PM me if you want the link, but before you do anything make sure you:
- download and execute the correct samsung drivers
- make sure you check the box at: Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging
- read a bit about the process first
- download and open the ZIP or RAR files (from the procedure I mentioned) so that they are ready to go - make suer you put them all on your desktop
- follow directions precisely
- be patient
This was my first time zapping an Android phone (moved from WinMo about a month ago) and it was very worry-free. Remember, computers are dumb - you have to do things in the right sequence or have the proper switches toggled correctly. Luckily, humans have sussed out the process for us!

Try doing a factory reset on the phone. Get into the bootloader by holding the volume down button and then holding down the power button simultaneously. Use the volume up/down button to highlight factory reset, then to select press the power button
I did it and 3 android dudes with skate boards are on the screen for like 3 hours no exactution

If you can't get the factory reset, I will give the stock rom . Do update using hboot.

Given you are on the .85 or .86 hBoot.
Download THIS FILE . leave it zipped up, and store it on the root of your SDcard.
power down the phone, pull the battery if needed. Then power on the phone holding down the power button and the volume down rocker. Once it boot select "bootloader". It will scan the SdCard for the file then prompt you to update the file.
But when I start up the phone and enter the prompte screen it scans the SD card automatically is that suppose to happen?

edit... Pull the battery on your phone and put it back in. Hold up vol, home button and Power till you see the little words in the top left corner. It should say booting recovery really small. at that point take your finger off of the power button only and it will boot into Recovery.
If you have CWM recovery or TWRP you are golden...
Or else... see below
Find your phone in it's section you should be able to find a method using Odin to flash it back to stock and then you can read up and find the way to do everything you want.
Just do your research and look through the forum for your phone type/carrier and you should be able to find all of the information that you are looking for.
Search and you shall succeed!

why do you guys make things so complicated? the guy wants his phone back to stock.
The only thing you have to do is to go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares. Then put your phone number i9100 in the search box and choose any of the roms below. They are all stock, 2.3/4.x.x etc. The rom is in a zip file, however, you have to extract the tar file inside it.
Power off your phone then, while holding vol down, press and hold power.
Open odin in your pc then connect the phone to pc while being in download mode. press the pda button in odin and insert the .tar rom whoch you have just extracted. press start and you are done.

Sorry, I didn't look at the date, but that would have been a good fix.

Well returning to stock is just as easy as finding a stock ROM in his phones thread and flashing it, it'll be better in the long run that way as well because maybe he'll learn something.
