I've been reading through the forums, but I can't find how to update my rooted Captivate with 2.2 to jellybean. I haven't use kies because I'm afraid of bricking because it is rooted.
Is there a link to upgrade to jellybean and then root it? Or a step by step on what to do from here to ??
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for a noob question

You could progress from that by installing ROM Manager, installing CWM, then installing what ever ROM you like. Odining back to stock isn't required, but you can do it if you want. Personally:
Odin back to a GB rom with Bootloader from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Grab Corn Kernel or something for that version with CWM, Odin that.
Boot into CWM, flash whatever ROM you like.

Hi,
I recently upgraded my Galaxy S to Android 2.2 via Kies... Now the Baseband Version is DDJP2... Is there anyway through which I can update it to 2.2.1 using KIES ?
I have not rooted my phone till now (and no idea on how to do that)... and no idea on Flashing the ROM as well...
Should I root my Phone and Flash the ROM? In that case, what will happen to existing data in the phone and apps ?
Also, need step by step guide to Root and Flash the ROM....
Which one is the most stable ROM for 2.2.1 ?
Any suggestions and thoughts?
P.S: I have been Symbian user for years... This is my first android phone... These questions may be basic...Pardon my ignorance...
Thanks,
Guru

Hi all.
Finally got a Note and love it, but while I wait for official ICS here in the UK, I'd like to keep stock 2.3.6 GB but safely root it.
There's so much info here, it makes me a bit nervous in-case I pick the wrong method.
I have this:

and would like to know what method I should use to root.
Thanks

Use Dr. Ketan's method!
Go here and follow the instruction for your Rom.
Edit: Just saw your picture, you have LA4 not LA6 on your device, that means that you can flash a Direct Rootable Rom!
Thanks for the reply but I'm a bit confused, my Note shows Build: GINGERBREAD XXLA6 as does the Kernel, so are you saying that it's the Baseband version : N7000XXLA4 that I should be paying attention to?
Also according to Kies it's PDA:LA6 / PHONE LA4 / CSC LA1 (XEU)
yes la4 is the rom version you are using, you will need to downgrade to be able to root
which rom do you suggest I downgrade to and still allow update via Kies?
Will the downgrade via Odin up my flash counter and give me the triangle?

go look at the root thread, there is a link for kj1, which is non wipe rom so all your settings will stay in tact
no it wont give you the triangle because it is a stock rom

I bought the Galaxy Note N7000 yesterday and I have exactly the same android-, baseband-, kernel version and build number. The only difference is I'm from the Netherlands and using Vodafone.
Now I've been looking for a way to root it, but I also wondered which XXLA# I should use for it.. I saw the reply of the downgrade (ofcourse) but I am wondering: those r for Poland and Germany... Or doesn't that matter and I can root it anyway w/o bricking the phone?
Post november roms are difficult to root, best optuon is to go to pre december 2011 rom
Or go to ICS and use cwm. Zip and superuser. Zip method

Well yeah, I get that point, but the thing is: I'm kinda noob with this. To be honest: my roommates rooted my galaxy s for me, but they did it so fast that I didn't get half of what they did..
My eventual goal is to learn how to root a smartphone and upgrade mine to android ics. My current android version is an unrooted stock 2.3.6 and I wanna go for a rooted ICS, but I already start to wonder now if I can upgrade my phone to rooted ICS immediately from the 2.3.6... Could u guide me a little in this?
By the way: sorry if I ask some pretty obvious questions that might have already been answered elsewhere on the forum, but I have been looking all over the forum and just don't know which info I should use from which posts anymore..
If you want ics then it is very easy.
First flash ics and then root it., ics is directly rootable.
I recommend first hard reset on gb rom for clean installation.
All informatikn regarding ics update n root, u can find on first link on my signature.

Well, I thought the safest way to get me ICS on the phone was through updating with Samsung Kies. After this I was planning to put CWM in the folder sdcard/external_sd and Busybox on the internal sd, but...
I got it updated now, but I lost the folder external_sd.. I can't create a new folder with this name either.. I don't actually have an external SD card, but if I remember it well, I didn't need it either. I have seen the folder external_sd for sure in there..
Edit: Bought an external sd card and did the root like u said, but without flashing back to GB. It worked! Thanks alot for the clear walkthrough! Hail dr. Ketan!

Problem is you are still running Eclair?, Update your ROM to Gingerbread for it to function better with latest apps
but IF you must have only Eclair and want to root it, you can try various rooting tools found at Collections for Android link on my signature

Im on Eclair, but I dont want it anymore, I want to have the new Jelly bean, but cant have acess to root, neither rom manager neither CWM, so cant install nothing by that way... as I tried severals updated.zip and no one can work...
I was thinking, only if I flashed some ROM through ODIN3, like for example:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326416 as that is possible to flash over odin, and then i can flash some ROM with Jelly Bean through Clockworkmod...
Is that the best way?
It would work if I flash that ROM using ODIN, on top of Eclair 2.1?
Need some help here ^^
EDIT: Just saw that on your sig and in your post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11113557&postcount=1
If I do all those steps, can I install that Rom without any problems?
Even I haven´t root yet? =\

Yes, you need to use ODIN3 to Flash the ROM, since your goal is Jelly Bean, you need to be on Original Gingerbread First, to do that go here and select the Firmware according to your location http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 ..Follow Flashing guide to the dot
Than go here and install a semaphore kernel, which will give you root and CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
after that you need to visit the Jelly Bean Developers thread of your choosing and follow their guide to install Jelly Bean ( BUT be aware Jelly Bean is NOT fully Stable yet)
Darky's Resurrection ROM is for those who are having problems , yours is Just a Normal upgrade, so best use latest Original Firmware, First

Yes, you don't need root for flashing, kernel are flashed same way as flashing ROM's, put the kernel in PDA ( don't tick anything) and press start in odin

You should look under Europe, the latest is JW7 but the CSC is only one, so better use JW5, with Multi CSC

I'm not a Captivate User. My friend uses it & want my help to flash it. I've flash roms before. So I've some preliminary knowledge. He's in 2.3.6 (upgraded from OTA).
Now I need a link how to flash ClockWorkMod on Captivate 2.3.6 the easy way.. Any guide?
Once I install CWM I'll be able to install the ROM (I guess). Any guide how to install CWM on gingerbread? (The phone is not rooted)
HELP appreciated!

Depends upon what do you want to do next after installing 2.3.5.
Everybody Starts from scratch so don't hesitate in asking.
Read this: (this is what I did)
1. Install 2.3.5 using Kies update.
2. Install corn kernel using kk4 easy root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20710788&postcount=6 Don't forget to thank him.
3. Now first recommended installation is always Stable CM Rom can be CM 10.0 along with gapps, (But then you can not come back to GB normally you will have to flash it using Odin. and then the whole cycle again.)
4. After installing CM, install any JB ROM you like.
