All Things Froyo

I studied many of those (of course, for the Captivate), and what I found over on XDA - I'd post links but I'm on my phone. Everything you need is readily available, and there are all sorts of helpful people here to help you. Just get over your butterflies and do it. You'll be thrilled with the outcome :)

I still say, the moral support is here the nitty-gritty details are there (XDA).

Welcome to the forums!

I'd recommend you repost that in this thread - http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/257453-class-action-lawsuit-against-samsung-over-froyo.html

... if you feel that strongly about it. Others can join you there for that related topic, in my opinion.

Or, if you'd like to keep this thought in the Captivate area, this is another good thread for that - http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/240114-maybe-why-samsung-doesnt-give.html

If the others want this thread to become political along with you, that's the group's affair, I won't stop that - if not, those seem like good options to me.

As always, kindly respond to your friendly neighborhood mod by private message (PM) - and not here - I don't like me cluttering your threads any more than you do.

Unless you have the official version of Froyo, I don't think it is possible to upgrade to Froyo without rooting your phone. Before you use ODIN, you have to root your phone so it has access to what it needs.

Possible that whatever method they used also rooted the phone as part of the process.

You have to root in order to load a ROM. I don't believe there's any way around that. Then, once the ROM is loaded, you usually have root still as a feature of the ROM.

Official upgrades do the process seamlessly, without the user ever seeing the 'root' process. The difference is, once the new ROM is in place, the exit process unroots the phone.
 
So, you are aware of every method used to place custom ROMs on the Captivate? You know for a fact that there isn't a "one click" (for lack of better words) method for loading custom ROMS which roots the phone as part of the process? 'Cause that's all I am suggesting could be happening.

As to whether these phones remain rooted AFTER this process, well I didn't read anything about that in the individuals post - only that they weren't rooted prior.
 
Yes, I do know that for a fact - because you have to have root before you can perform root processes. Look over on XDA - every ROM there needs to be loaded on a rooted phone, the ROM installation process includes rooting. Really.
 
FYI.....when you do a custom rom, the root is part of it. So your not rooting, but you are. Clockwork only works on root access.
 
I learned from that video and now, I can flash without thinking what I should do. I flashed about 20 times this month alone.
 
I just flashed the leaked froyo. Now what is the best way to root it. I tried super one click but it kept failing. I saw another method but I don't know what adb is. I really need to root fast to get my titanium backup to restore all my app data. Thanks in advance.
 
Ok althought I have NEVER rooted yet (Notice the "yet") but should the guy in the above post....Shouldn't you have rooted BEFORE you flashed the rom ????? Just saying ... not in a bad way :)
 
yea i had to root to flash it but the method i used prior didnt let me root the froyo leak. Thanks for your concearn but that was the first thing i had tried. I ended up finding a fix for it and now im rooted via superoneclick
 
All you do is place the update.zip on the internal sd card and boot into recovery. No ned to root unless you use rom manager. Root is always built into a custom rom.
