[Q] Help with root

[rtgould]

Today I decided to root my captivate and was unsuccessful with the super one click. I then decided to do it manually with the update.zip. After I finished rebooting with recovery mode I saw the su app. I then tried to use titanium backup and it said that it could not get root permission. Could someone please help me figure out what went wrong and help me get a successful root so I can enable normally apps.

Did you enable USB Debugging for the one click method? Is your captivate I896? More info please.

What ROM are you running?

Titanuim Backup probably wasn't given su permissions.

1. Have you tried rebooting it. Sometimes all it needs is a simple reboot and when you start TB, it will ask for su permissions.

2. Go to superuser. If you see titanium backup, click on it, forget, and reboot.

Just oneclickstock, load your ROM, and root again.

Maybe it's an app that's getting in the way?

Odin worked but I'm trying to use Super One Click, I get to where it says "running rageagainstthecage" and then it loops I have tried doing what it says in the OP and it has not worked. How do I fix this.

Ok so I put it into download mode and tried to use Odin. It said it was done, but nothing was changed on the Captivate. Any ideas?

did you follow the directions to a T?

ODIN must be open before you connect phone in download mode

I used a different one click root and it worked thanks for the help.
