Download Odin 1.85 or 1.87 and the kernel Speedmod.
Use Odin to flash the kernel;
Put your phone in download mode.
Put the kernel file in the PDA slot.
Flash and let it reboot.

That's why XDA has a search function.
Before you go any further, I highly suggest you read and understand what you're doing to avoid anything going wrong.
EDIT: Actually I did the search for you (yay for google). Here's your answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8532790&postcount=1

Hi everyone,
I have the Samsung Galaxy s Captivate and I want to upgrade it from 2.1 to froyo 2.2. I understand that ATT has not release it. However, I found this thread and froyo is leaked for everyone.
Here is the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282
I was wondering if I need to be rooted in order to do this. If so, what is the most easy and most efficient way of doing it? I also want to get rid of all the ATT bloatware, I hear there is a great rom that gets rid of it.
Thanks for listening I can’t wait for your replies.
Michael.
Hello Michael,
The answer to all of your questions and more are in the thread you linked, including difficulties other people have had and sometimes their resolutions.
Good luck!
You found the thread you need to read. Go through it, even if it does take you about an hour to do. You need to read that way you know where information is on how to fix your phone if anything goes wrong. Everything you do on your phone is at your own risk.
Basically just flash using the one click ODIN for the JI6 build.
One important note is to remove the USB as soon as it reboots because otherwise you can face issues with it becoming stuck in airplane mode. I don't know why exactly but it happened to me and to others.
If you haven't flashed using Odin yet, search for the Odin3 thread. That will give you the steps to use the one click Odin.

Well, I only link the download and flash for it. The link provides no explanation on how to flash or install froyo.

I don't see where the reading is. Only the download mirrors.

Sorry guys, its been ages since i root android devices. I do not understand why samsung android need to use odin. Quite confusing.
Can anyone be that kind to teach me how to root and flash clockworks recovery to my GT?
Where to download cwm recovery?
Currently i have odin3 v1.3 and v1.8. And i have adb too. Pls help me. Thanks.

Sorry dude. Start reading the stickies. Get used to the idea that you need to figure out the simple things by actually reading stuff. After some personal input, people are of course prepared to answer any questions you have might have.

First off, this thread is in the wrong section. This is not development related.
Second, since its been asked anyway, you could start off by searching and reading stickes as suggested by androidsjonnie
And my suggestion is to decide on a custom ROM to use and follow the install instructions provided for that ROM. AFAIK, by default samsung rom's, cannot be flashed using clockwork recovery. you will have to rely on odin for them.
And if you just need clockwork recovery, you start by downloading ROM Manager.
**** Topic name !
Read Stickys and learn to use the Search Function !
don't be hard on the iPhone user! we all know how they are..
If you've read the info on ClockWork recovery.. It needs a compatible Kernel to work.. so checkout the kernels at the dev't section..

You could use that above.
I've rooted it, yes.
never encountered so many problems as I have trying to get a ROM or update on this tablet. I went to older threads and the links are either broken or dead.
Is there ANY current guide on what I need to do to successfully flash a custom ROM on this?
I installed CWM but it doesn't boot into that either. ODIN recognizes it just fine, but I can't upgrade/patch the BL
help please!
After a quick search I found your answers. You should do the same.
you're right

Firstly I wasnt been a douche and I WAS helping you out. The best way to learn is to do research, search and read as you pick up allot along the way. I havent got a T849 and didnt even know what it was until I did a quick look.
For GB just go to the Overcome thread then read and follow the PDF guide to flash kernel/rom etc.
For ICS follow the Overcome Guide and then put the latest CM9 nightly or other ICS based rom on your SD card along with gapps and flash them both (rom first) with recovery mode.

If you have search the word T849 you will find so many posts.
Including those that I replied to, that has point blank answer.

Indeed. User obviously didnt search/search properly as I found the answer in seconds by simply using that keyword.
Hello XDA,
I have a SGS I9000. I want to root it and I've been searching all day for a guide that isn't a one click root.
But I have a few questions about what everyone is talking about when they say JP2, JP3, etc.
Also, I'm running Froyo 2.2 and there doesn't seem to be much for it. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
if there is information about the phone that can help find where to go, just ask.
Thanks XDA.

You should 1st flash to 2.3 using odin (https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...i9000-flashing-to-original-rom-using-odin.46/), then root (https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-i9000-rooting-gt-i9000-2-3-3-india-ddjv9.47/) and then you can proceed installation with ICS (https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...dwich-4-0-4-on-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000.125/) or JB (https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/installing-jelly-bean-4-1-on-galaxy-s-gt-i9000.131/)

I didn't think it was that complicated.
In that case, could you suggest a oneclick application?

Right guys
I am getting fed up on trying to root this phone using ODIN and the various CF-ROOTS but every time I do it some of them will just not flash some do flash but then the mobile does the reboot loop!
My mobile details are :
FIRMWARE - 2.3.3
BASEBAND - I9000BWJV2
KERNEL VERSION - [email protected] #2
BUILD NUMBER - GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
I honestly have tried lots of CF-ROOTS using the ODIN process but they just don't seem to work.
If somebody could just point me to the CF i need and the files i would appreciate it so much, it's getting really annoying now
Thanks all appreciate it :victory:
