I have to ask, because it really is in front of your eyes... what the heck did you search for?
When I searched for Captivate JI6 2.2 root I got this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797397
Which is exactly what I knew I would get. Try searching a little harder and using the correct terms. I promise you that you'll find your answer. Good luck with your rooting!

I did but I didn't understand it and I have the leaked 2.2 for captivate and some tell me how to root in a easier easy so I can understand

That is your easiest method on the leak 2. 2. Start reading, this will be a good learning experience. I would suggest searching odin and flashing back to stock Rom. then flash a 2. 2 Rom that is already rooted like cognition.
Either way do not do anymore unless you have read enough to understand where you will end up

I also have to ask... Did you read the thread? The top of the FIRST post has a link to a ONE-CLICK-ROOT. (this is a link, you click on this with your mouse.)
It does not get any easier then that.

I have Rooted 2.2 I used super one click I believe its called. Try googleing that.

[Q] rooting

Hello all,
I've been reading and downloading from xda for over a year now (sgs- darky's rom mainly), and this is my FIRST POST!
I know i can find my answer just by looking but i really wanted to post for the first time so here's my question- My tab is in the post (got it from ebay as i'm a pauper and can't afford it new, or the 8.9 or 10.1) and obviously want to root it straight away. I've seen that some are using z4 root but my sgs won't accept this method, can i be sure it'll work?
take care fellow "tabbers"
PS the doorbell just rang and it's here! *wets pants and logs off*

What firmware version is it on? Please post complete information from *#1234#

it's 2.2 froyo build number FROYO.XWJJ7
baseband P1000XXJK5
KERNEL 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
PDA- P1000XWJJ7
PHONE- P1000XXJK5
CSC- P1000CPWJJ5
I need to get gingerbread (at least) on this thing straight away! Or any cool roms you can recommend?
How do i find out if it's GSM or CDMA? i'm in the UK... That is probably a really stupid question, but i'm a stupid guy... A stupid guy who loves android and wants to learn more!
Any links to the right places would be really appreciated

First you're not stupid. You're just new and learning.
Second your tab judging by its firmware is gsm european tab.
Third you can root using superoneclick root.
Fourth. Head to the development section and you will find alot of great roms (or click on my sig if you're interested in overcome). JUST BE SURE TO READ ENTIRE GUIDES AND STUDY THEM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING.

So many people get themselves into trouble by not reading instructions or skipping ahead.
Easy to get yourself into trouble, can be VERY hard getting out...

Thank you for all the help, most kind I'm at work now so will try some bits tomorrow, managed to get rooted before leaving tho

Your tab is rooted already. Look at the kernal version. In your apps you will see something called Superuser. Tap it. If its there and opens you are rooted.

That's what really confused me, the kernel said root on it, but no super user was there and none of my purchased root apps could aquire root.... so I used super one click as advised and hey presto! Still confused as to why it said that on my kernel tho...

Someone tried to return the tab to stock. The busybox was probably there too. Anyway, you are good now. What's next?

Thanks all, I installed the overcome gold rom last night and all is well
Just out of interest as i'm un-learned, how can you tell if the bootloader is signed? (As far as I can tell) it hasn't affected the rom installation... could it?
Thanks all for the support!

[Q] How to use Captivate on T mobile?

Alright I did some searching around and havent found a definitive answer. I'm trying to get my friends Captivate to work on T mobile. This is possible, correct?
Also... Do you have to be rooted and on a rom to do this? If so, what is the EASIEST most updated way to do that? My friend is on stock and I would assume on the latest OTA. If you could help I would greatly appreciate it. I can always help anyone that needs help with the Samsung Epic!

The data won't work on t mobile.the best he can get will be edge. All you have to do is root and unlock. There are one click root programs and tons of guides. After that you can unlock it with apps in the market

Unrooting a P1010

Because the P1010 is the unloved orphan of the Tab world, I take all general Tab technical instructions that I read with a grain of salt when it comes to actually using them on this version of the box. While I used SuperOneClick to successfully root it with no problems, and I see that big fat Unroot button sitting there, I would just like to hear from anyone who has successfully unrooted their P1010 using SOC. Anyone have any caveats at all on this?

Update: For the faint of heart like me, just a note that SOC Unroot does indeed work for the P1010.

Bump, I followed the tutorial for rooting from here and would like to unroot it since I don't think it was rooted properly. Rooted apps like SuperUser give errors. I upgraded to Gingerbread and then rooted using this method and not SuperOneClick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520859
Just wondering how it gets unrooted using that same method since SuperOneClick seems to not work on my device.

I rooted mine without any problems at all using a different tutorial. I'll see if I can find the link when I next get back to my PC.
The 1010 does seem to be Samsung's dirty little secret but there are still some members who have it. I know a lot more about modding than when I got it so I'm about to try to do some clever stuff with it.
If it works, and if there's enough interest, I'll just have to share it here.

[Q] Rooting or Flashing 2.3.3

Hello,
I would like to try flashing my rogers captivate to ICS. Nothing fancy just a astable bug free ICS. However I am on 2.3.3. I updated through KIES a while back and now I have no idea how to root my phone or install roms. I am afraid the last time I looked into this everything was very different. I have read the forums but am still a little anxious.
Is it possible to root and then install CWM or something to install roms from my current 2.3.3 version? If so how may I do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Christopher

By reading all the stickies and reading some more info, you will be a genius at this stuff by the time you're done...

Yeah thats what I am kinda trying to avoid. I have to hack and read so much already it gets really tiring having to keep up with it all. Add to this work and school and its like info overload. I was hoping there might be an easier way than earning another mini phone phD. Thus far I have determined I have to change my kernel... I think? My phone is unrooted. Stock 2.1 to 2.3.3 KIES.

This Site is mentioned for developing. That being said for the rest of us, we are supposed to learn. The reason it's important to read and understand is you can potentially kill your phone.
