We can have an ezroot kernel if we either set the /system partition. As rw (read/write) instead of read only or set in the default.prop the following: ro.secure=0 & persist.service.adb.enable=1, then there's root in "adb shell" to remount the system partition as rw.

Is it a boot.img or initram packed zImage we're dealing with?

Your question is so technical. For the overclock kernel, I use the boot.img approach. So, the ro.secure=0 could be easily set :D

The kernel in the OP is a boot.img. I unpacked it last night before I went to bed so I didn't really get a chance to mess with it.

So the boot2.zip that is 3.9MB in size that was in the old post yesterday is compatible with at&t? If so what is the difference between that and the I927UCKI3_STOCK_ROOTED.tar.bz2 file that is 292.8 MB in size that was posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364740
I just don't know which one to use. Thanks in advance you guys are great!

Check the first post; I've been updating as I make progress. Unfortunately no one gets notifications when I do. :)

I've received reports that you can use the Rogers (CIQ-free) kernel (secure or insecure) against the AT&T rom.

EDIT Argh. Getting threads confused. Sorry, check the first post of:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364740

^^ that thread.

It's an ongoing technical thread about rooting / rom development, where this thread is intended to be a detailed guide with the latest (safe) information.

I'm still getting the write error/Fail when trying to follow the instructions as I posted earlier: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20023701&postcount=5

Do I need to do anything else?
I have Odin v1.85, Do I need a newer/updated PIT file [Is there such a thing]?
So i need to boot into e3 and clear cache?

Lambgx02 mentions a boot.img file. How does one use that to flash the rom?

Pls advise.

Like described in the OP the rom and the kernel are two different things.
if you just want to be rooted, just flash the rom if you want be carrierIQ free, then the kernel is also necessary

Hey Carpe,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am aware of the differences. I only need to do the ROM as I already have the Rogers Kernel. But I get the error when I click start after selecting the Rogers Tar file provided by lambgx02. Before I click start I also ensure that windows is picking up the device as well when in download mode.

Just out of curiosity what slot are you putting the tar file in?

1. Tried all usb ports + on my work PC which I also have admin access to
2. USB Debugging was already enabled.
3. Already made sure of this.
4. Tried Heimdall, but after it opens the tar file, i get a msg saying it's missing the firmware.xml file.

Q: in ODIN, when you attach your device, is the box that shows the USB port you're connected to suppose to be highlighted yellow?

    Finally, the Captivate Glide is successfully rooted.
    Credit:

    • lambgx02 who provided the Carrier IQ free kernel (by Rogers) and the insecure kernel and the Rogers rooted ROM!!!
    • ardatdat who provided the rooted ROM and the overclocked kernel
    • samsfirware.com that provided the firmware without which nothing would have been possible
    • myself, crazy tester who bricked his device
    Very easy steps:
    If you are on Rogers, no need to flash the kernel, it is already CarrierIQ free
    ​

    1. Download Odin 1.85
    2. Download the CarrierIQ FREE kernel (zip file) or the overClocked version of it.
    3. Download the rooted ROM (AT&T based ROM)
      or the Rogers rooted based rom (Unzip with WinRAR not 7zip)
    4. Unzip the file and keep the .tar, that the file you are going to push to your device
    5. Put your phone in Download Mode:
      • Turn off the phone
      • Press volume UP and keeping the button pressed, press the power button
      • a screen should ask you if you wanna continue - press volume up to confirm
    6. Launch Odin
    7. in PDA, select the first kernel downloaded (tar file you just unzipped)
    8. DON'T SELECTor UNSELECT ANYTHING ELSE
    9. Press the start button
    10. Wait for your phone to reboot
    11. This kernel will remove any traces of CarrierIQ, and you are now free from AT&T Spyware
      • IF AND ONLY IF this flashing fails, try the exact same steps with the insecure kernel
    12. Reboot your device into download mode again (steps above)
    13. Flash the rooted rom
    14. Go to the market and make sure you have the latest version of superuser
    15. go to superuser, check you have "su" updated

    You're now rooted!

    For any other questions, watch this first PLEASE:

    I don't use the Captivate Glide as my daily anymore, but I do NOT recommend using any of the methods in this thread to root your phone because they are for Gingerbread. The newer ICS roms do work on Rogers. Rooting with ICS is as simple as flashing CWM with Odin and then flashing superuser.

    I don't think it needs locked, they need their own subforum. We can put up with them here till they get it, they need a space to develop, too.

    And congrats on getting root into the kernel rom!

    Hey, wait a minute.. I provided the rooted rom.. :D

    But in all honesty, that's the easy part. Those nagging Samsung, the testers risking their devices, and of course, the OP who finally found the stock firmware images deserve the credit. Not to mention sammobile.com / samfirmware.com.

    I have found that the faster new way to root the phone is to flash CWM first and then flash the rooted kernel from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468626 via CWM. Took me a few minutes to do.

    indeed but you still need ODIN to flash the recovery
    once you have CWM any custom rom have root included ;)
