(TIPS) Rooting! - Samsung Captivate Glide

Hey guys, I just wanted to post something that might help out some people, in case perhaps their USB Drivers don't work, or they can't get odin to recognize their device.
Note: I do not claim these to be definite answers. These are just things I have discovered to work.
1.) My computer won't recognize my phone! What do I do?
A.) Try this. Download the USB drivers from (possibly) another post here on XDA, or install the Samsung Kies application.
Then, get an application to extract the driver software, such as uniextract.
Extract the installer to a directory of your choice: (For simplicity, I say Desktop)

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, go into Control Panel>Device Manager
Go to your device; It might be listed as "Unknown" and right click it.
Go to "Update Driver Software" and then click "Browse my computer"
Locate the Directory you extracted the installer to, and then click "Next"
wait for it to finish, then you're done!
Note! If it does this again, your device may show up as a modem. If so, just recreate the steps, and it will work.
2.) Odin doesn't show my device!
A.) If you just got done doing the steps above, you need to restart your computer. If not, check to make sure your phone is in Download mode. If still it does not recognize it, make sure you have "USB debugging" enabled in developer settings.
ATM, these were the only things I kept getting stuck at; if you have any more info on how we could help out some of the noobs (like me),
please reply!
Thanks!

NOTE! I forgot to mention, taht if you had previously installed drivers, YOU HAVE TO UNINSTALL THOSE! Otherwise, it will not work.

Can't get my phone to come up in Windows....

Okay, I actually have an older HTC Evo and there is no support on that forum anymore....
So forced to post here, hoping someone can help.
Anyways, I am just trying to re-flash the ROM, and want to put an old SENSE HTC install back on it, but cannot get my Windows 7 computer to recognize the phone. Fails to load the device driver.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Install HTC Sync to your computer. It will download and install the latest drivers to your PC. Also make sure your SDK is up to date. Lastly, make sure you have USB debugging enabled on your phone. If you continue to have problems, you may have an issue with your USB port on your computer or you may need to try a different USB cable.

I installed SYNC manager on my computer as well as the Android SDK pack and installed the Google USB Driver there too.
It's like it sees the phone as a drive, but it's like it doesn't think there is an SD card there (see below). I wonder if somehow the SD card is not "mounted"? I don't know. Any help appreciated. I can see the SD card just fine from the Restore menus on the phone.

I'm not 100% sure right now but I think you have to right click on it and update it.

go to a YouTube tutorial about fastboot. The driver you are missing you have to update it and look for it on your computer. I'm not sure how you get the driver but I think you get it when setting up sdk. Anyways look at some tutorials and you'll find out where that stupid driver is located

How to disable System Update notifications

Hey guys,
Big thanks to @autoprime for mentioning this info on this in the general G4 forum. Figured I'd sum up the steps and repost in our sub-forum for anybody who may be struggling.
If you're like me, you're waiting on root and don't want to accidentally take that new OTA update that was pushed out about a week ago. This OTA has been found to prevent rolling back to previous versions of android, and may also block some/many of the root methods that the developers are preparing to release to us.
If System Update is constantly bugging you to update, follow the directions below:
1) Enable USB Debugging
-Go to About phone and tap on Build number 10 times to enable Dev Options
-Enter Developer Options and enable USB Debugging
2) Download and Install the Debloater tool (this happens on your computer)
-Windows http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Gates/DeBloater/Debloater-setup-v3.85.exe
-OSX http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Gates/DeBloater/Debloater.v.3.85.dmg
3) Connect your phone via USB. Make sure to install any drivers needed
4) Watch for pop up requesting ADB Access on your phone
5) Launch the Debloater tool
6) Select OK on the popup

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7) Click the top left button
8) Find LGDMSClient.apk and put a checkmark next to it. Then select Apply at the top
Congratulations! You no longer have to worry about pocket-updating your G4 and not being able to root down the road!

Broken contacts app

So I got this used HTC One m8 from my friend and there's a weird glitch that happened after I factory reset the phone. The app has the default icon, package name and won't respond when I try to open it. Here is a picture of it.

It's the Android app. Is it because there's no sim card in?
I'd love some help
Android version 6.0, not rooted.
Bump I asked here because no one can answer me.
