Ok...here it goes.....
I have a AT&T, USA Captivate and i want to install the leaked froyo 2.2 on it, get all the bloatware off of it and "maybe" overclock it to 1.2 or so!!!
This is the prob.... The more I read threads on here, the more confused I get.
My wife is an IT person, so I have some back up on that end, but.....
I guess I need to know what to do, in what steps and how to do each step.
I will gladly donate funds to someone that could give me a step-by-step and what programs i need in order to accomplish each step.
FYI: I'm working off of a loptop, running windows 7........ And "NO", I have no clue what the lingo means on here.....
Some one please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
First you post in the wrong forums. you should've post in Q&A.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819105
every roms you can download on here will have instructions on how to go from there.
Wrong section. This belongs in Q&A not development.
Go in the ROM's thread. There's almost always a step by step there.
If you can't follow those directions, then im sorry, but chances are you shouldn't be flashing anything. You're going to brick something.
The Axura thread has good step by step directions. Try there first.
EDIT: Ninja'd.

Step 1: root it, find 1-click root somewhere in this forum.
Step 2: download titanium backup and rom manager from the market
Step 3: run a batch backup of your apps and info.
Step 4: put desired rom on sdcard
Step 5: install rom via rom manager.
There are some small steps I skipped, though I trust that you're smart enough to figure it out.
We were all there guys.....

Can you give me a super noob step-by-step tutorial about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902323
I'm in Asia so i think that it will benefit me if i do this. But the problem is I have no clue on how. It's just my 2nd week of having an android so i don't know anything about them. But I really need the voice as well as the 3g and HSDPA function of the tab.
Can anyone help me with this one? I will gladly appreciate it and will hit your thank you button in the process.
Go to the developement forum, find overcome rom, doesn't matter which one then you will find, at the bottom of the 1st post, a link to the overcome site that has the guide to flashing to gingerbread through ODIN. It also has links to all the files needed.
BEFORE FLASHING HOWEVER, GO HERE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 AND USE THE BOOTLOADER CHECK APK. It could be the difference between a brick and a successful flash...
One bit of advice, if you don't understand something, ask a question in the QA forum, NEVER in developement forum, You will be flamed and possibly reported. Make sure you read and follow steps EXACTLY or you may end up with a brick...
Cheers....
if I follow this, would i be able to have HSDPA on my galaxy tab tmobile here in asia?

Oh. There is bunches of tutorials, don't be so lazy and next time use the damn search button on the top of the page! There you'll find step-by-step tutorials!
instead of telling him search by typing long mesg u can simple provide him the thread link !!!
Before you send me a link to Dr. Ketan's guide, I'd just like to say that his instructions are incomprehensible for me. I understand English isn't his main language, so I will not follow his guide in fear of bricking my device.
So I request for someone (preferably someone whose main language is English) to provide comprehensive instructions on how to root my device which can't be rooted using the traditional method (I have one of the newer kernels). Instructions on what to do next to install a custom ROM would also be appreciated. Ultimately, I hope I can install the Rocket ROM without bricking my device.
By no means am I trying to insult Dr. Ketan. I'm just saying that instructions should be given in clear, comprehensive English to avoid a misunderstanding. Dr. Ketan put in effort in that guide, that I can wholeheartedly agree.
It's just a shame many of XDA's professionals don't reside in an English-speaking country.

I must apologize. I mean no disrespect to non-English speakers. I should have worded my last sentence better.
I have no qualms about having non-English speakers in the community. They're vital to promoting the website to other people.
I wouldn't mind his (Dr. Ketan) guide so much except for the fact that we're dabbling in things that could potentially brick our phones. To some people, bricking is totally alright with them as they have the income to simply replace their phones. However, to people like me, breaking or bricking a phone basically means having no phone for the next few years.
As such, it shouldn't be selfish of me to ask for a guide that addresses any issues I might have in clear, comprehensive English.
Once again I mean no disrespect to Dr. Ketan and other non-English speakers here. I'm just very concerned about my device and the risk I'm taking in rooting my phone. I was very harsh with my words, calling the guide incomprehensible when really, only a handful of sentences were misleading.
Now, with that out of the way, I'll go back on topic. When I mentioned his guide, I specifically meant this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Which part do I follow to get root and CWM on my phone?
Chances of bricking samsung phones are extremely low. If you are afraid to bricke yours. Try and understand ketan's guide.
It is in my opinion comprehensible.
But i will do my best to simplify it.
Download stock firmware kk9.
Download cfroot kernel kk9.
Download odin.
All from ketans thread.
Switch off phone. Turn on phone holding vol down. Power and home. And then ignore the warning and continue.
Open up odin click on pda and open stock firmware kk9. And start.
After reboot. Go to setting application. Enable usb debug and unknown sources.
In cfroot kernel folder. Click on not rooted yet. . Done.

I can't help it if I don't fully understand his guide. That's why I made this thread, asking for clarification.
Um i added my simplified explanation.

Thank you. One question however:
Shouldn't I download the ROM that applies to my carrier? I'm from Singapore and none of the Singapore ROMs are KK9.
Simply i would like to say Sorry, cudn't help you guy.

Please, don't be sorry. Clearly I'm the simple-minded one since I'm the only one having issues reading your guide. You spent a lot of time on it, so I'm the one who should be sorry for thrashing it.
OK, I'll try to help you, although I'm also not a native English speaker.
1. go to this thread and download N7000XXKK9 rom. Unzip it (password: samfirmware.com) and you'll get a .tar.md5 file and a .dll file.
2. download PC Odin from here.
3. read and follow this carefully - it's very comprehensive and has a picture guide to PC Odin flashing.
4. now you'll have an old GB rom. If you get stuck in bootloop after flashing is done, don't panic. Pull out your battery, wait apprx. 30 secs, put it back in. Press volume up + home + power button and your phone will boot into stock recovery. Do 'wipe cache' followed by 'wipe user data/factory reset'. Reboot your phone.
5. download the zip attachment. Unzip it and start not-rooted-yet.bat. Follow the instructions to the letter.
6. if all goes well, you'll have a rooted KK9 rom at this point, and can flash anything you like from its CWM Recovery.
I hope my pidgin English is good enough.

Now I feel incredibly stupid. Even though English isn't your main language, you gave solid and specific instructions. Thank you for the help.
I truly am sorry if I insulted any non-English speakers. Please forgive me.

I have a carrier locked Note, yet I have flashed everything under the sun with no problems whatsoever.
New problem: I can't download from Hotfile. Does anyone have a direct link? I tried googling it and all I found was Multiupload links that wouldn't load on my browser and Hotfile links which download at 5kb/s.
Try downloading from here:
http://samsung-updates.com/gt-n7000-galaxy-note/
They have both direct downloads and torrents.

Look for Manual Nooter 5.08.20 in the development thread and follow directions.
