[Q] Samsung Captivate ROM/Rooting Help!

My phone originally came with 2.1 Éclair and I upgraded it with Kies Mini the official AT&T way. Then I rooted it with Shortfuse's SuperOneClick method. I was not satisfied though and I wanted to get Cognition 4.3.1 but later found out that you needed to have 2.1 to do that. So I used Odin to go back to 2.1 and then I rooted my phone again with the same method as before. Then I installed Cognition 4.3.1 with Rom Manager FREE version. When my phone booted up, it had Cognition on it but it was not rooted anymore. I still had SuperUser on it but when I opened apps that needed root like TitaniumBackup Pro, it wouldn't allow me saying I wasn't rooted. So then I tried to root my phone with SuperOneClick again and it would work. It said it was successful but it still wouldn't work. I tried to root it with the OneClick and SuperOneClick and both wouldn’t work. After countless times of failing, I tried using my phone to call someone and it wouldn't let me and would start vibrating every 1-2 seconds. So now, what I did was put it in download mode and used Odin again to go back to my original 2.1 and did a master clear with Odin and a factory reset through my phone, and cognition was gone and all I was left with was 2.1 stock firmware, non-rooted, and I was mad.
Now my question is:
Can your phone be rooted and be running Cognition 4.3.1 at the same time? Is that possible or can I just have Cognition 4.3.1 only and not rooted? Is there a possible way to have both?
If there is a way, can you please give me some step by step instructions on how I can do it?
I understand how to root my phone and install Cognition on my phone but when I installed Cognition, the root was lost. Any ideas would be appreciated please.

Samsung Captivate Cognition 4.1.3. w/ Odin 3 flash
Hey Daniel. I had the same problem & trust me they happen. I went to the tube & found a
3 part vid on cognition install with Odin flash & at first it didnt work for me. So I reflashed to
2.1 stock with Odin & followed everything to a t.....having patience watching the vids. I kinda
enjoyed it & was able to effectively flash my Samsung Captivate to Cognition 4.3.1 that is based
off of froyo 2.2 (by the way). Cog is smooth & fast & works great with home launchers!
Enter Samsung captivate rom & look for the mobile tech vid of Cognition. (older firmware used
in vid but all works the same). My phone is way faster than 2.2 stock and I grabbed a ADW from
the market to change the home launcher and all my buds want me 2 do there phones now!
Just be patient,its worth it. You will glad you were when your phone is better than new.

[Q] Galaxy Showcase *Help*

Hello ! I Have C*Spire galaxy S that was running EB11, could not update to 2.3 with kies, so i used a friends galaxy to obtain tar file I500 _CS _EI20 _GB _REL_ KIES.tar, however upon trying to load with Odin became stuck in recovery loop. possibly because i didn't have proper pit file(not sure). At any rate currently totally OOS(out of Service) if anyone can get me the stock files or an active link to them so i may roll back to stock 2.2 or offer any insight as i am at my wits end , it would be greatly appreciated Thanks!!

I had this issue after loading CM7.1 on my Showcase. I tried reloading GB from my laptop and my buddy tried it on his laptop... it remained stuck in the boot loop. I flashed it back to 2.2, I forget what build version, and it had so many FC's. I had to end up sending it into Samsung under warranty.

[Q] Superoneclick issues samsung infuse

Ive had my samsung infuse rooted and something happened? had to reboot back to stock... superoneclick seems to get stuck and not root my phone!! does it not work anymore? even when i download it from shortfuse... Ive dissabled usb debug....ive enabled usb debug....nothing works help

yeah I had the same issue with super one click on stock stock from GTG's unbrick
you may want to update to UCKE5/one or two builds above the stock build.

thanks how do i get this? from where? I cannot seem to get my cwm to open in the red!

you could probably just run this in odin to get back to UCKE3 which was stock in North America if you bought the phone a month after it came out. (Was stock for my phone when I bought it a month after it came out anyway).

This has the bonus of already being rooted btw.
Anyway, UCKD5 is the rom that doesn't work with superoneclick properly from what I can tell which was stock when it came out and is GTG's ultimate unbricker's rom.
Don't use the pit because you most likely won't need it (your phone boots and all that stuff, right. If so, don't bother with repartitioning)
From here you're rooted and can setup modified 3E with root explorer and CWM with whatever you wanna use to set it up.

I used "[ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e)" (from Super Thread) to get to stock.
Then went to market and loaded SGS Kernel Flasher.
Then I downloaded Infused GB Core A2 kernel.
After I flashed the kernel, I had red CWM and went from there. Worked really well!

issues still
Download? How? Multiupload no good! mega no good either

They've been mirrored. I think. Not near pc.. No mirrors from me.

[Q] SGS4G Problem PLEASE HELP!

I have been working on this issue for about 18 hours now and I cannot seem to find a fix. I have searched as many forum posts as I could, aswell as googled more things then I care to explain.
The justs -
Samsung Galaxy S 4G (Was SGH-i997r)
I rooted the phone no problem, went to flash Valhalla - BlackEdition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404863&page=3) and it worked the first time. However. It changed my phone ID to Samsung Galaxy S 4G (T959V). I had to un-install the rom because it wouldn't allow me to transfer files from my computer to my phone, as well as not allowing me to turn on my wifi.
I used Oden3 to install a new gingerbread kernel. and it took me too the Clockworkmod recovery.
I forgot to backup the original OS before I installed Valhalla - BlackEdition
So the only OS/Mod I have is the Valhalla - BlackEdition on the SD card.
Now for some reason when I go to ROM the Valhalla - Black-Edition it flashes just fine, but soft bricks on the load screen after reset.
What do I do in order to make my phone functional again? PLEASE HELP.
