De-Captivated
I created this root and unlock combo modeled after the old iPhone jailbreaks which allowed you to unlock. Technically speaking this is not one click, but it is the single fastest way to do both. Right now it is only Mac, but it could come to PC eventually if I have time and find a tester. Remember, that if this application works I would really appreciate it if you donate.
It does the following:
Roots
Unlocks
Installs android-wifi-tether
Installs Market enabler
Sideloads
Required:
Mac
Samsung Captivate
Other carrier SIM card
How to use:
Just download the file from the link below or in the attachments:
Newest version
Now mount the DMG file and you should see this:
Drag the folder to the hard drive picture BUT NOTHING ELSE. Once the folder finishes copying just double click on the icon with the lock and run the program (it opens in a terminal window). It is VERY self explanatory from there and it includes step by step directions. I hope this program helps.
If you tried unlocking too many times:
It will then ask you for another code. Enter the unfreeze code that it gives you on the very last screen of the program. Enter that.
Donate:
This program took a long time to make and I would really appreciate it if you donate. Your donations will help me keep this program up-to-date. Currently I only accept PayPal donations at:

Another great post Nbs! You certainly are a team player
I don't have access to a OS X system to test this, but when you have a Windows solution set-up, let me know for testing.

I don't get it, when I try to load this on my PC it doesn't do anything? J/k ;-P looks cool man, I hope it works as great as it looks! (I'm sure it is)

Haha I thought you were serious for a minute. Yeah. Well for now its Mac only because PC's do not really handle shell scripts well. I will probably convert it later with the help of someone else but until then its mac only (and if you have linux you can get it to work if u change a few things)

I have added sideloading functionality to the app.

Platform independent solution!!

Sorry, I just got home from work.
I'm now looking at the files you sent me, you talking about the files inside the other folder (not the mac os one) right?

I am assuming that is it. If there is a weird folder with basically nothing in it that is probably a folder that Mac OSX adds to everything that is hidden but shows up on windows.

What are the paths you want incorporated?

[PROGRAM] Infiniflash v1.2 ~ It makes life easier.

The purpose of this program is to make my life easier when developing on the Android Platform. At he same time it may also make your life easier. I would like to keep this project totally open source and I include all of the source files withing the .zip that it comes in. What does this program do? It will allow you to flash custom ROMs straight from your computer, fast and hassle-free.
In this new version, I have done a ton of error/big fixes, rewrote quite a lot, and finally added wiping functionality. Enjoy!
Infiniflash REQUIRES that your device has ClockworkMod Recovery or any recovery that supports /cache/recovery/extendedcommand.
By the way, if you can think of a better name/icon for this program, please, please, please tell me.

I have a DHD as well and had the same issue. You must install the driver for it to work on your device.
1) Visit this link to download and install HTC Sync (which contains the driver): http://goo.gl/P3ZP1
2) After installation plug your device in.
3) To verify you have the driver, open the Infiniflash folder, hold the shift key and right click on the tools folder. Click open command prompt.
4) Now type in the command: adb devices
5) If your device showed up, it worked! Otherwise, try restarting or syncing your phone in HTC Sync, it should start working eventually.
6) Now that you have the driver, Infiniflash will *hopefully* work from now on.
Best of luck
Cheers.

This looks awesome, and I would use it but is there a different button for wiping to ext 4 and 3? All the roms I seem to switch between use different formats.
Thanks

By wiping to ext3 & ext4 do you mean formatting the /system partition to one of those formats? If so I might be able to implement it or make an add-on . By the way, which device requires you to do that? I've never heard of that before... are you sure it's a requirement?

Oops Double Post.

Has anyone successfully used this program?

even tho i cannot use this app as i am on linux i will salute your development as this app is a great idea. thank you for your contribution. wish i knew more about programming and could help port this over to linux but alas...

Thank you very much! I think I'll port it over soon, but the only bad part about that is that I have no idea how to make GUI's in Linux so it would be command line only .
It's funny that you mention that though because I'm a Linux user myself and never really thought about it.

[Q] Multiple roms in one Defy??

I have been wondering if we could install multiple ROMs in our phones at once and switch between them as we would wish. Thereby skipping the pain of making contacts and app backups.
After a bit of Googling, i came across an app named "Boot Manager",which allows you to install 5 ROMs at once, but alas, it doesn't support our defy...
It would be great if i could have MIUI in my phone besides CM7,
Afaik, Technically it IS possible...
The ROMs would be installed in our SD Card and the phone will then be able to boot images of the desired rom, we wish to switch to.
If anyone has any information, then please share.
This is a video of the app running in HTC Sensation. Do check it out.

Guys, we have to make this Awesome thing run in our defy...!! Anyhow..!!

Good question dude.
I've been wondering if I can have cyanogenmod installed and if I can switch back to stock incase I'm not satisfied with CMod.

Some good news,
The boot manager app can be used in Defy as well by configuring it manually using the adb shell.
Gonna try it in a day or two.

Exciting...that will certainly be great as changing ROM comes with the added hassel of redoing necessary housekeeping all over again...will keep watching!

Alright friends, so it actually is possible for us to use the boot manager app.
All we got to do is to manually configure the settings.
Here is what we need to configure:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have read in the help manual that the settings can be configured using adb.
But i dont have a pc with me these days.
So either if someone who knows how to use adb can find out the sizes of the folder and share here, or we will have to find a way to find out the size of the root folders using terminal emulator.
Further questions are welcomed.

we should type the total size of data system and cache or the used space

Someone test this ?
It's quite interesting, but what about applications, data etc, i think so one rom should be primary (in phone memory)

we should type the total size of data system and cache or the used space

The Total size that is allocated to these folders, not the used space.

The settings need to be configured for which the size of the folders has to be known, and that can be done via adb.

sd card block:/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

data size:1200

How did you find the following values?? Using adb?
Next when i configured my boot manager with the settings provided by you and tried to install a ROM into the SD card it first asked me to choose b/w Ext2 or Ext4.
Then on selecting any of the above an error popped up saying "Error making img" - Error making img to hold filesystem.Please try again.

Yes using adb....u try out for your phone maybe our settings are different

"Missing operating system"

Hi,
Booting on windows 8, I got the message "Missing operating system", and my computer won't boot !
Please I don't know what to do !!
Thanks in advance !!
PS : Why F8 or Shift+F8 don't show Advanced boot options ?

Did you do anything that could mess up your bootloader or insert another bootable hard drive? Did you try to o mess with the boot settings?
I would try to put the dvd in the computer and do a repair install. That should replace the system files on your computer and make it boot again, kind of like flashing a rom in Android without wiping data to make it usable. If it is buggy or unstable I would suggest backing everything up and installing windows from scratch again.

I have found the problem : I used wintoflash to create a bootable usb drive with win7 on it (for an other computer), and when I boot now I have this message. Maybe wintoflash thought I would install win7 on the same computer and modified something...
The problem is I can't access Advanced boot options or even System Repair cause I'm on win8.
Thanks for you answer !

Try to boot from the USB then, and if it works then do a repair install.

The windows installation has been copied in a wrong way I think : cmd displays X:/ instead of C:/ in the repair system and the installation can't go on.

No clue what's going on there. I'm assuming you're posting this from another computer, any chance you could burn a windows installation DVD from it?

I'm posting from my iPhone.
Someone told me to use Toutou Rescue, a mod of Toutou Linux, did u know that one ?

No, I don't know linux, only windows.

I don't understand it either...
The least u can do is enter the bootmenu...can u enter BIOS??
If yes, change the boot priority to USB/DVD and keep either of it connected...
Make sure the DVD is bootable...

Yes I can do that, but on which cd/dvd ?

Ok can you get access to another computer and a cd? If so, burn an Ubuntu live cd, boot your computer into it, don't install, and burn a Windows 8 dvd from there.

dude... you literally have no idea what you are doing and didn't even look up anything. boot into the USB drive you put the windows 8 install on and let it run the automatic repair...

Did this, got error...
I solved the trouble myself :
I booted on Toutou Linux (google it if you don't know it), then used gParted to uncheck "Boot" from an unvalid partition and checked "Boot" on my internal HDD. It all worked. Now tell me again I don't know what I'm doing cause I found the solution while you didn't.
