And you probably need to do a lot more reading before flashing. And before you end up hard bricking your phone.
Read all of the Sticky Threads in the General, Guides in the Q&A, and Stickies in the Development Forums. They are Stickied View attachment 843842 for a reason.
do you think you could give me a little help?
i'm kinda new at all this flashing stuff. :/

Take the advice I previously posted and follow it. There is a great amount of helpful info contained in these Captivate Forums, you just gotta take some time to read and glean what you need.

Hey,
First of all, I tried to find the answer tot he problem in the forums before posting but I was unsuccessful.
I am having some trouble rooting my Bell i9000M. It came with Froyo when I recieved it. I tried androot, z4root, and SuperOneClick but they all failed. In my forum research I came across some comment that said z4root does notwork with the UGJK4 version.
I am restricted to 2 computers, a Mac and a laptop running Ubuntu Linux, so it'd be difficult for me to use Kies for anything.
What is my next step in rooting the phone?
I also tried to flash a kernel, which I read I can do without root access usining heimdall but this error occured: unknown required load command 0x80000022.
My phone is able to do into 3-button recovery and download modes.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Alex.

Upgrade to Jl2 use superoneclick it works.

have done a lot of reading over the last week trying to work out how to root my SGS i9000M, checking both these forums as well as android & phandroid, as well as googling the issue and trying the Market. I've also checked out many youtube videos on this topic but they seem out of date now. I note the most recent thread on here by liv4air (march 2011) but it doesn't really help with my query.
I am a total noob with regard to this - only heard about rooting a couple of weeks ago but I definitely like the idea. My 1st handset had to be replaced due to a sound issue (it had 2.2 Froyo) - was replaced with a handset sourced for Canadian market (linked to Bell - has lots of stock apps from them that are useless to me). I'd like to get rid of them to start with, but this handset is running Eclair 2.1 - didn't realise this for awhile after it was replaced and didn't actually understand the differences between the builds and firmware.
So now i've got GT-i9000M, Eclair.UGJH2
kernel [email protected] #2, firmware version 2.1-update1 (updated via Kies).
I have tried the one click root download which put the 'update.zip' file on my SD but when I tried to install this in the recovery mode (have discovered that I have the download and recovery mode buttons - also totally new to me!) there was a red error message:
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Have seen the Ryan ZA OCLF in Market too, but understand that the 'rooting' ability has been removed from that app.
Have downloaded the Odin3 program to maybe try to root it via this method but am confused about how to get kernels/which ones to get...or even if that's what I have to do! can find various kernels etc at SamFirmware but not really sure how to use them.
Am I even close to working out how to root this phone!?
Please help!
Flash EZbase : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792 with odin. All the instructions you need are over there.
It's a complete, stock rom except for a few modifications (such as root and cwm recovery), you can choose to download froyo or gingerbread depending on what you want to flash next, if you do.
(Froyo is the 2.2 android OS that has more stable custom roms/kernels while Gingerbread is the new 2.3.3)
Also since you're on a i9000m, you may want to flash a "i9000m" modem (with the 850mhz band) found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391 after flashing, but it's not necessary.
Thanks for that link - it looks promising so i'll read through it properly and give it a go soon. I can't query to that forum as it's a development thread but a couple more queries...just want to make sure i don't do anything stupid!
The instructions state: Download all the EZOdin, EZbase CSC, PDA, PHONE and PIT if you do not have Samsung Kies installed, The Samsung USB Drivers will be required to.
Do you know if this means to download ALL those things if I don't have Kies installed, or just PIT if I don't have Kies installed? I do have Kies installed so not sure which of the above I require.
And on the Kies topic, it also states: If Samsung Kies is used please make sure you kill all Samsung Kies related services that are running (kies, tray agent, etc.)
sorry if i'm making you smack your head in disbelief at my ignorance, but does this mean I can use Kies to flash a kernel to my phone (and hence not need the above)...or that when using EZOdin to flash my phone, I need to make sure I have Kies completely shut down during the process?
And I assume by having Kies on my PC, I do not need to download the samsung USB drivers.
Thanks!
What the first sentence means is that you will need the usb drivers if Kies is not installed. There's a period missing I guess.
For the second one, it means you need to close Kies completely before flashing.
Thanks!
Got EZOdin, and the PDA/PHONE/CSC files, but when I click on the EZBase pit file this is all that's written on the page it opens:
v˜4
Edit: don't know why the rest of my post wouldn't complete above, but no luck in downloading the EZOdin.pit file, either at home (or now here at work).
Any thoughts? Reiterating my noob knowledge (or lack thereof) - I assume the .pit file is crucial to the process? Is there anywhere else I get this file, or another .pit file that will suffice?
Maybe i'll do some reading on PIT....
Rooted successfully!
been a bit of a task over the last fortnight trying to work out the ins & outs of rooting, the ways to go about it and to find a method that worked, which i've finally done.
this is really just a post in case anyone in a similar position and feeling as lost as i was along the road to discovery might benefit from how i managed it.
(and this assumes you've already read the many disclaimers out there about bricking your phone, & making sure you do a lot of reading of the threads on this topic)
i ended up using shortfuse superoneclick. got the program from shortfuse.org - v1.9. i downloaded it and ran it with my anitvirus turned off. It worked fine as per the instructions on the website (shortfuse.org) or in the thread here.

Now rooted and have gone and obtained TiB, Terminal Emulator, Wireless Tether and Root Explorer.
Had the speedmod kernel downloaded and was going to try to flash it to my phone via Odin as per the link you provided but wasn't sure if the kernel itself would root my phone and didn't get replies for my query about that.
So...now that i'm rooted you would still recommend flashing the speedmod kernel? I would assume mainly for the benefits of the kernel itself? Any likelihood of problems arising, having already rooted with SuperOneClick?
Thanks for your advice - the speedmod does sound good and have heard many happy reports from users.
yes it would have rooted you hence my suggestions for using it: sorry to have not been more clear
yes the speedmod kernel would be an upgrade over the stock one but my signature indicates what I use now: very fast and outstanding, not available on xda
I was never able to get oneclick to work as it was blocked on my pc, so my solution stemmed from having to find an alternate answer to a problem like yours
its fun once you get started: lots of help, even more opinion!
Hello all. So I've had a Captivate for a while and I want to install Froyo and root my phone. I'm only a little familiar with these processes and I'm curious about which one I should do first. Any advice? Can anyone direct me to a good set of instructions for either? There are just SO MANY out there. Thanks!
there are plenty of 'how to' documents and information about what to do. You might want to browse this section for more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=706
this thread contains some install information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
this thread was created for an easier way to root and install a rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418
There are plenty of rom's to choose from in that section, so pick one that appeals to you and try it.
please read the sticky posts in the general, q&a, devs sections.
I read through some of the Stickies and and I'm okay with the rooting process and installing Froyo... I can just can't find anything about which to do first since I want to do both at the same time.

which rom are you going to install? most of cases, you do not need to root your phone to install rom by using CWM.
if you install a custom rom from any dev threads, your phone is already rooted after the installation.
Probably Cognition. Is the current version based on 2.2 or do I update to Froyo separately?
Yeah, I'm going to go with Cognition but I guess I understand this less than I thought.... is there a version that is 2.2 based? Also (sorry if this question should be somewhere else) in the Cognition thread, the installation instructions say to use ODIN if using version 6.X below. I downloaded what seemed to be the most current ROM, but its 3.04. And under the ODIN instructions, it says "Download link will say “Download Cognition v2.2 BETA X.X.X ODIN”. " Are these referring to two different things?
Thanks!
Hello
I have captivate from at&T ( I897). I upgraded last year from eclair to froyo UCJI6 from some site.
Please can some one guide me step by step how to get latest gingerbread. I never had gingerbread on my phone. Upgrading from UCJI6 scares me.
Your help would mean a lot to me.
Thanks
Dillon

I looked at your post but it was confusing for me as i dont know much.
There were two download links..one was boot loader free ..other was different one.
Can you please send me the the right steps and link for downloading
thanks
Another resource is
MobileTechVideos <- good video guides.
That being said, modifiying your phone can lead to hard bricks. So above all read and understand everything. Most of the danger is flashing bootloaders (that's why you see packages with and without bootloaders, to limit the danger). If you corrupt one of the bootloaders or flash 2 different (none matching) bootloaders you need a Jtag or UnbrickableMod service. When flashing Gingerbread you NEED gingerbread bootloaders. Once flashed you are golden and don't have flash those ever again.

i checked above forum where u helped the guy with upgrading UCJI6 to GB.
He had issues while upgrading but eventually he was succesfull.
I could not find which method he used ..
please help me if possible
Read up on how to get in Download mode and how to use ODIN (or Heimdall if you are running a none windows machine). Download a Stock gingerbread rom with bootloaders and flash. The latest is KK4, but i've never used that specific package (though it should have bootloaders) I can speak for KJ3 on that thread.
Basics.
Open ODIN (1 click or not) as admind
Get in download mode (press vol up+voldown+connect to computer
If normal ODIN use the PDA slot and select the .rar.md5 package
Hit start
Let it finish and bootup
???
profit
I'm not responsible if anytthing should go wrong. If odin gets stuck or you do something wrong you will soft brick or possibly hardbrick your phone.
i am giving up.
Can not find any links and steps which are of great help for Upgrading to GB from UCJI6.
Some are going back to 2.1 before upgarding some not.
Dont know what to do
Going back to stock is-was only used for cwm flashes. You will use ODIN. 2 way different things. Follow my steps. Or read through the tons of threads here. It isn't that hard.

Really? the guy just asked a question and i can understand he doesnt want to ruin his investmet. we were all noobs once!!! no need to be rude i mean really how much did it cost you to answer his question?

he gave up because he couldnt find EXACT instructions on going from one particular FROYO build....because if he had done any actual research, he would know that it doesnt matter what version of FROYO he is on, he will need to flash the ODIN package with the bootloaders....its all covered in the vast damn posts that already cover this extensively. there was ZERO reason to fire up a new thread.
he has been linked to good info and has refused to take heed. reading and UNDERSTANDING is more important than holding hands around here.
Yes we were all noobs once and yes, you need to do your research but he's obviously nervous and not understanding what he's reading right now. Hopefully he'll calm down and understand the information he's been given. We're done here.
Ok, Guys my first post here in XDA, Forgive me For any Liable Mistakes I do!
So, here's the story , There's this friend of mine Who has A Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 , OS version Was Froyo 2.2. So he wanted get all the glory by upgrading it to 2.3.3 gingerbread, And He screwed it up. I dunno to what extent , he used odin to upgrade. . and the problem here is he did it more than 6 or 7 times, now it doesn't even boot up, white screen while switching it on , and yes it is able to go to the download mode so i guess its a softbrick. .and now him getting all scared he asked me to Get it all back to normal, so i used odin 1.7 saw the How to's here at XDA followed every procedure to upgrade it to 2.3.3. And it was a Big PASS. but when it rebooted it always loops at the boot where Samsung logo appears.
now we both do not know the exact version of the PDA files to download from Sammobile firmwares as the thing is bricked! from the first place!
now , all i wanna do is either just get it back to stock 2.2 and then Follow every step correctly to upgrade it to 2.3.3 or better or Directly go to a Newer version!
without any hassle. Please do let me know if a similar thread is Availaible , cause i searched a few and i couldn't find one which legitimizes with my problem
Help is delightfully Appreciated!
Thanks In Advance Guys
My recommendation, since you can still reach Download mode.
restock using Overcome Method:
Go to overcome site
Http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try ICS AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.
priyana!
I will follow that. And Update about it Alright!
And thanks a Ton For the help!
Hello All,
Just thought I'd put a quick post about my weekend experience, I learned a lesson that I must read the whole page before trying something.
My journey started out trying to update my GT-P1000 to ICS, I read an androidauthority article on how to do it (pretty much first Google page)
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-p1000-clockworkmod-recovery-118602/
I back tracked seeing I have to install Clockworkmod-recovery, I done what it said in the guide - then got to a bit when it got stuck at the Samsung Logo - this is where I start to panic and read the post a bit more. I then read in the comments - don't do this at home as it doesn't work.... Frantically I search the Internet and found a way to get a bit further but still not good enough as it now gets passed the Samsung logo but now it reboots itself.
I then came onto here and followed the link below from priyana and I could feel at ease once again, I followed the overcome GB stock safe v5 with odin and I was happy again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2053070
I really will learn my lesson from this I hope and read further.
Does anyone have a good link on xda-developers to take it from 2.3.3 to a version of ICS given that I've just used the GB stock safe?
Regards,
Dave.
Hi there.
Since you have seen the guide and use overcome restock method.
Just follow the same guide, with a little bit of difference.
Follow the link again in my signature, download overcome kernel 4.0 tar, it gives cwm 5.
Also download ICS ( cm9 or aokp ICS your pick). Download gapps-ics.
Place Rom file and gapps-ics in sdcard.
Flash overcome kernel tar using Odin, exactly as per the pdf guide.
One difference from the guide.
After flashing complete don't bother to wait for robotic voice. Just force tab off. Then immediately boot to cwm recovery ( this come with overcome kernel you flashed).
Use cwm to flash ICS, then when done, flash gapps-ics, only then reboot.

Can I just say thank you for your useful post about GB stock....
I thought I'd bricked my device and was bricking itself
I'll follow your guide in this thread as well.
