Sorry, noob here. I googled how to root my Captivate. I found the wiki, which points to the thread in the dev forum here. However, the download link gives 404 and the thread is closed. Help!
Also, would appreciate pointers to info on:
- the best way to back up my phone before installing SRE,
- how to tell which firmware I have.

The thread was closed by OP request. Keep an eye out for his new thread and updated rom. as far as the info goes I would read the stickies in the Development forum. I can answer the firmware info. Go into settings...about phone and it will tell you at the bottom.
so close, yet so far away! did you dive head first into tinkering with your new found love?

Best way to backup is titanium backup- pay the $4 donation to obtain a license! You can perform a "batch" (one button) backup/re-installation with the full version.
I try to keep my phone pretty basic as I'm tinkering with it.. makes it so much quicker to get back up and running!
I still have and am currently using the 1.3.1c update if you'd like me to send it to you

Thanks for the info everyone. I have had my Captivate for two months now and decided it is time to root it. SRE looks like it has most of what I want to do with it bundled in. Bad timing I guess, but I can wait a few more days.
no need for 1.31

Nice, thanks.
However I will let some guinea pigs try out v2 for a few days to shake out the worst bugs.
I do like having a phone that I can make calls on, you know.

there are a ton of guinea pigs....a lot of us have been running it since friday....
its working great...and it now has HSUPA in it...
*#1234# from the phone will show you the firmware versions.
I updated the Wiki to reflect all this info as well.
If you still have this version i would love a copy. Tried Cognition and had bugs - 1.2.2 was perfect and from what i understand 1.3.1 was very good too.
I have 1.3.1c on my harddrive (along with 8GB of Android related stuff), if you really want it.
If you still have SRE 1.3.1 on your HD I would love to have it. I still have use of Eclair and this rooter sounds the best.

wow! this is an old thread. if you are gonna root and mod the phone why not upgrade to 2.2? i understand wanting to stay stock but why 2.1 stock with an antiquated mod that is not likely available because noone has requested it in 6 months or more. there are kernels with color fix and voodoo sound and roms galore? if you want a good stock style rom i would root and backup the apps and install andromeda. it still has a few samsung apps and a stock look but has all the features you could want.

Yeah, I hear ya. I wish I could be in a 2.2 ROM. I've gone through most of the popular ones, Darkys, Cognition, Serendipity, Dragon, Paragon, Andromedia.... My issue is that all 2.2 ROMs seem to cause tons of FCs and after a lot of troubleshooting and debugging have come to the conclusion that its due to something in the RAM that is being triggered by 2.2. That there is some sort of memory leak (which I figured I would have read about by know) or faulty hardware.
I originally thought it was the VooDoo lag-fix, but removed that and still have the FCs. I am fighting with AT&T/Samsung to get a replacement but since I got the Cappy the first week it was offered by AT&T (and therefore had months and months of usage before being able to get 2.2 on it, and the related FCs) there is an issue of warranty. I am pretty much refusing to pay any fees.
Soooo, until this is ironed out I still want my phone to partially make me happy so I was using UTC 0.2 and was wondering how SRE would work.
Hi all,
sorry for my noob question but i would like to know, as a first time flasher, what ROM i should flash?
I have a P1000 Australian tab, rooted but thats it.
I would like something that runs faster, smoother and with as few bugs as possible.
With so many options out there i was wondering if people could post there experiences with the different ROMS available through this forum to help me decide which one to try first.
I have some experience in jailbreaking (iphones) hacking the motorola Razor and a few other phones over the years.
Thanks all for your input.
I have a Aussie telatra tab. I'm using overcome, its the best rom at the moment. Give it a try
swyped from a galaxy far far away...
Thanks for the fast reply! just checked out the overcome video, looks great bout to give it a crack.
Please post in the proper section.
Thanks.

Any Euro ROM will work on Aussie shipped Tabs. I have an Aussie Optus Tab and use Roto JMIv2, love it.

how can i flash Tablet
Please help any one I have GT-P1000 ver P1000DDJJ1 build FROYO.DDJK3
please help how do i flash to CM7 Gingerbread
Hiya
Have been rummaging the forums for a while and there doesnt seem to be a definitive or recent answer on this?
Interested in the Overcome rom for example, but would it work on my P1010?
Many thanks
+1 any comments anyone?
dont think there is one for us
i've kinda bricked my one so i need a custom rom in zip format to be able to install via recovery but i've had no luck either finding one.
There is none at the moment but check the development thread over the next week or so there may be a start on one then but as of right now there is not.... and be very careful flashing anything on the device otherwise it ain't much use... we may have honecomb soon though pm me and will tell ya when and if its ready
i am also interested as froyo is slowing this tab quite a lot... it could be much quicker with at least gingerbread, but honeycomb... that can be interesting..
but can't find an answer.... is it doable? Also, what other mods can I do to it? I wish XDA had a section for each version of the tab, I have a huge headache from trying to find my answer.... thanks guys
bump..... Please guys, help me out. I tried rooting last night but failed, guess I tried the root from a different tab... so please help me out... I'm getting ready to smash this thing
Really, no one can help me out? ... maybe another forum has more courteous members.

Do you think that bumping your post two hours after posting it is courteous?
I just got a Galaxy Tab WiFi myself, but I did my research *before* I bought it. No Gingerbread is available, that I know of. There are not many alternative ROMs for the WiFi only model.
What did you use in your rooting attempt? The only two ways I know are with a Windows app or with z4root, an Android app. I haven't tried either one, here is a link to z4root on this forum.

SuperOneClick should be able to help you root your Tab.
Here's the Noob Rooting Guide with links and downloads.
Always do your research. The Development forums will be one of your best resources for your Tab.

No offense but if you're going to criticize you might as well not even comment to avoid any frustrations or arguments as a result. Thank you for the link, I was able to find z4 and lag fix yesterday.... applied both but i might roll back on the lag fix since I have no haptic feedback now unless anyone knows of a fix? I wasn't able to find anything on Google... wifi only tab and p1010 aren't too popular searches.

*sigh* waiting for this too..
****ty Samsung , is it so hard to just make an official Gb for this little tab considering the workforce they have at their disposal.
At one point I had heard that the Sprint stock GB (2.3.4) update worked on the Wifi only tabs, but I don't have a wifi only to test with.
I haven't heard of any alternative roms for the wifi only version.

Check with Kies, see if you have a firmware update. I only have a P1000, but maybe it's similar.
oh yeah, give time for people to reply your thread. Don't be a spoiled kid.

EDIT: from other answers here the Sprint GB 2.3.4 ROM stock or rooted sounds the way to go, so it looks like this should work for you as it did for me on my Verizon CDMA tab.
It's hard to say for sure, experimentation is part of the fun, but killing the tab isn't. I didn't find any definitive answers on flashing a Sprint CDMA ROM on to a Verizon CDMA Galaxy Tab (for example), so I decided to try for myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255339
I suspect doing a FULL ROM flash would be a *very* bad idea (it seems doing that with a GSM ROM on other (non-GSM) tabs KILLS it). However, the technique I used was only to apply the kernel and filesystems, so I would *think* if you had a backup from before (always best to have a backup anyway, right?) you could always revert. You may want to look around and check to see if stock WIFI images are out there (I don't know for sure) but the Voodoo or CwM (ClockworkMod) recovery backups should be fine either way.
Then if you apply the filesystem and kernel files from 2.3.4 and they don't work you should be able to revert (I would assume, I can certainly flash back and forth on mine). I would *think* the kernel supports vanilla hardware + CDMA additionally (i.e. you don't need it, but it doesn't hurt), but may be fine.
But again, unless you're prepared to take the risk, I cannot say for sure, you can wait and see if anyone else chimes in, but that's my take.

Lol thanks... I guess if someone has the time and patience to try it and it works then please let the rest of us p1010 owners know
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I have the P1010 also and from what I've heard, the two models (P1010 and P1000) have different hardware which makes the latter model possible for the ginger update while ours likely will never get it.
Enjoy it for what it is. That's all I can say.

No offence but you are the one who was rude by bumping your topic after 2 hours and also accusing people who didnt answer as not courteous, so obviously you are going to get criticism.
Your problem is that you cant be bothered to go read or search and expect people to jump on your topic and bring all the info to you. This is XDA-developers, not tech support, try and at least help yourself first before demanding answers.
If anyone tests the spring gingerbread method and it works, please say so. xD Im too much of a coward to risk my tab.

You can save a flashable ROM in the sdcard. Then if the tab got bricked, you can insert the sdcard in and reflash again. But i don't recommend doing this because me myself never flashed my tab, only my nexus one.
