[GUIDE] Rooting the Samsung Captivate Glide i927/i927r

[chrisyjwai]

I having the same problem as Shad0wguy.

How'd you get it working by the way?

 

[MrX4000]

Can someone please provide a link to the Rogers flash? The Rapidshare one is gone ... Please and Thank you

I found this file ... SGH-I927R_insecure_bootimg .... will this work?

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.

link dead

the link for the rogers rooted rom is dead. I already rooted my i927 with the att rogers rom, but now I can NOT select 4G as my default mobile network mode. Back when my phone was not rooted with the rogers stock rom I was able to select 4G instead of 3G as my default network mode, but now after rooting with the att variant that option is gone and the phone is only conecting through edge, which is painfully low in my country. Can some please provide the rogers rooted rom or tell if the rogers rooted one has that option disabled too. thanks

try the att

Roberto you can try the ATT Stock rooted ROM. Once you have your phone rooted, you can download an app called GalaxSim Unlock, someone from the XDA forum is the developer and has the link in the post reggarding his app. With that app you can unlock your phone.

I tell you that app works, because my Captivate Glide got unlocked suddenly (from Rogers, I'm using it from Colombia) and that approach worked.
1. Download the ATT rooted ROM
2. Flash it with ODIN
3. Download GalaxSim Unlock (the one from this forum, the Google Play version is priced)
4. Use root permission to unlock the phone (the app handles the backup of the /efs partition where the IMEI info and radios reside)
5. Voila! the phone is unlocked again
6. If you want you can flash the Rogers Stock ROM (the phone will not get locked, flashing a ROM doesn't touch the /efs partition)

I doscovered that last part by myself, because nobody told me that flashing a ROM doesn't touch the /efs partition

Now that I have my phone unlocked again, I'm using the ICS Stock rooted ROM, removed all the ATT apps and the phone is runing Android 4.0.4 smoothly.

PD: Seems that ATT removed the option to chose the Network Mode from their ROMS, because in ICS I don't have that option either. Anyway I don't have a data plan, I always use the phone with wifi, from time to time I buy a data package and the phone switches from EDGE to HSDPA+ which causes some slowness when using a data connection.

Hope that helps

Lol, I don't know too many of the smaller players, im about to start on Straight Talk, debating if I should root my phone or not.

Im only kidding lol... rooting your phone is a good idea if you need access to everything and changing your ROM etc... if you don't feel you need this or too difficult... downloading something like Go Launcher, Nova Launcher, etc can also change the look of your phone without rooting

Eyes-free method of phone rooting

Hello,

Is this guide still valid? Reading it looks like a lot of you rooted gb phones.

My phone started out as AT&T gb, then I went to AT&T ICS last November, which is where it is at now.

I am wanting to root my phone then flash a custom rom on to it, in this case a dev named Spyke555's Cm 10.1 rom.

I've read the original posting and have read all other postings in this forum and am confused, the original post seems a multistep process while I've read others who say flash the LiteKernel 1.0 through CWMR.

I am running the Captivate Glide SGH-i927 - AT&T as I said now running Ics.

I am blind so am wondering if there's an eyes free method to root and flash my phone, perhaps through adb? I've also got physical Windows xp/7 boxes as well as virtual Linux Ubuntu 12.04 machines if I can flash from there. If anyone knows how to flash from Linux in particular I would appreciate knowing about it.

I have looked everywhere but can't find the AT&T stock kernel. Does anyone have a link?

I am interested in having all stock files saved to my computer in case I have to return to factory settings (warranty purposes), or if I need to recover my phone if I brick it.

I'd appreciate any assistance.

Thanks.

Roberto, download Es File Explorer, enable the "Root Settings" so that you can browse up to root, if you can view /system and /efs from within es file explorer then your phone is rooted.

If not, then something might be wrong with that rom and I have another that might work.

in fact now when I open play store it says no conection though I'm conected to wifi, so I'm not able to install Es file explorer, anyway... before that happens I installed Root checker, and it says the phone is not rooted.

Finally, the Captivate Glide is successfully rooted.
Credit:
[*]Download the rooted ROM (AT&T based ROM)
or the Rogers rooted based rom (Unzip with WinRAR not 7zip)


Can either of these ROMs be used to root an unlocked AT&T Captivate Glide??
Or will the phone end up getting locked to AT&T again??

I don't think it matters at all if the phone is unlocked, the only concern might be that it re-locks it
