dont open new threads when(at the time of this threads creation) the one you have open in the q&a sub forum has already answered this exact question TWICE.
And now since i answered it again(before I saw this thread) the link is there 4 TIMES!!!!

i like the fact that the OP thinks superoneclick doesnt work with i9000
it works with damn near EVERYTHING, nearly EVERY PHONE

I like the fact that this should be in the i9000 section..
Is this a i9000, or a Captivate? If it's an i9000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=748
The i9000 is not a captivate. It's a GalaxyS. The captivate is a type of GalaxyS, just like the i9000. They're different phones with different ROMs, with different kernels with different hardware with different drivers. They are GalaxyS's but a i9000 is NOT a captivate.

Adam...i believe he may have flashed I9000 gingerbread on his captivate. (perhaps a froyo I9000 firmware who the hell can tell at this point.) Notice he said auto rotation doesn't work, and he's asking for stock rogers firmware so it's definitely a cappy.

yeah. he has a captivate, but has flashed an i9000 rom with i9000 kernel. he didnt read everything he was told to read, or he would have understood that he needed a reoriented kernel. he also wouldnt be making threads like this.

I read but trying to decipher what is old what isn't what works and what won't yea I flashed gt i9000 ,in the other read I had a different issue so I didn't post this problem there cause I didn't think I would be seen, my buddy put g.bread cm7nightly on my phone it didn't work, so I desperate and short on time(screaming kids all weekend) used odin and put gti 9000 onto my captivate please send me the info I need, before I throw this phone against a brick wall

First, GT-I9000 is a cousin of captivate. Flashing GT-I9000 ROM is not a huge problem if you have proper kernel to support it. Infact all the GB roms in captivate dev section are derived from GT-I9000 ROM.
Second, why is that u dont want to ODIN back to eclair first if u really want to be on stock?
I think you need to calm down first and do a bit of study before doing anything crazy with ur phone
Edit: And i am guessing you have flashed GB bootloaders so to get into recovery try Power + Volume UP

I don't know where to get the Rogers firmware, but if you want a captivate 2.2 ROM...
Here.... http://files.teamkomin.com/Andromeda/Tools/Andromeda3-HeimdallPackage.zip
Use the Andromeda3 heimdall package. Its simple enough to figure out and everything you need is included. Just put your phone into download mode and flash it.
edit: if you have flashed 2.3 bootloaders, you are on your own. I will not recommend flashing bootloaders. You will need to find a 2.2 bootloader for your phone.

Thanks for the link,odin makes sense to me now so i understand the multiple files needed,we (me and the guy who owns the mobile solutions store tried for 4 hours to boot into recovery and dl mode,followed connexion 2005 3 finger fix to a tee,got the file onto phone,cannot root either because apparently phone thinks its a i9000,we tried old one click root and when it puts phone into recovery mode power button will not allow selection also re-inst packages opt is not there,maybe next a jig? thinking of grabbing 3 100k ohm resistors and trying that method im all out here..am i stuck with a 500$ paper weight or what???

jeez....read. read.... and read some more
SUPERONECLICK will root your fkn phone. it doesnt matter if the computer thinks its an i9000 or not!

Help please!! samsung i897 captivate

Hi guys i'm nes on this forum, i'm italian and i have a samsung captivate i897, i also take this opportunity to introduce myself...
Now i expose you the problem:
i have a i897 captivate marked AT&T for this i have a problem to fix the GPS and to install applications outside the market, I would like you to help me to make clean OS from the applications AT & T and put in i897 a i9000 ROM not rooted...please guys help me, and thanks in advance
1. Read the new owners guide.
2. This forum is about learning things by yourself. Don't expect to be spoonfed.
3. Custom ROM always =Rooted mind you.

I read the guide but i'm desperate,do you recommend something? can u post the link of the better rom and kernel that i can use? im noob in android world
I can't recommend anything man. Everything is good.
You have to discover by yourself what suits your needs.

the new user guide (that i wrote) teaches about stickies! and where to find them!
find the stickies in the captivate general, q&a and dev forums they have all the answers you are looking for and way more.
go. read. learn.
this is really basic stuff. At&t does not like you installing apps not from the market "its called side loading" you need to be rooted to fix it and there are pleanty of guides "one click root has an option to enable non market apps" to get a different rom go to the dev sectoin chose a rom and follow the simple directions or for a guide for the entire process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Assuming what you meant was that you want ATT's crap taken off and a new ROM...
Why would you not want your device rooted? If voiding your warranty is a concern it's fine, there are plenty of methods to return back to stock Eclair/Froyo. And there really isn't a ROM out there that's head and shoulders over the rest, you're going to have to play around and see which one you like the feel of the best. Try out a different ROM every couple of days and see how you like it.

If you are asking someone to help you build a rom well... I don't think that will happen. You can go to samfirmwares.com and download a stock i9000 rom, but without root you, and if you don't know how to build to incorporate the home button and haptic feedback fixes, your phone won't work right. My suggestion is to go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
They are all stock i9000 roms with only busybox and root installed. I'm using the stock jvh on my captivate, at the moment, and it works great. You will have to deal with root. It's better to be rooted anyway.

U wont need to use kies. Any update released by Samsung will b atleast 1-2 months late than the ones in this forum. And neways,once u load custom rom, kies wont recognise ur fone. Don't worry v all hate kies,u really don't need it in the least bit.

Only replying to that small part of your post, and correcting you by saying no, you don't need to be rooted to sideload applications. SWM (Sideload Wonder Machine) can do it so long as you have the drivers installed and USB Debugging on. I installed several applications as soon as I got the phone, long before I ever rooted my phone, much less installed a custom ROM on it.

Why didn't you use google? There are plenty of places that explain how to root that aren't on this site, which is more an "advanced" place anyways(I use that term loosely, but I get the idea that people here assume you know a little about your phone).
Check out MobileTechVideos, the guy who does those had a three-part, in-depth ROM flash set of videos that explain exactly how to use One-Click to Root.
Edit:
Christ dude, use some decent punctuation and at least attempt to be succinct in your requests. Freaking out isn't going to get you anywhere.

New-ish Skyrocket owner Saying Hi

Since i hadnt already,i wanted to post and say hi to all the I727 owners here.Had phone for two months about,now.Great thread to have thanks for having me.Im going to try to use the search function as much as i can now.There are so many posts here,i cant beleive it..Pretty much every question that can be asked is here..
About me. Im a computer guy,just starting to get into mobile devices.
Rooted my first Android only about a year and a half ago using easy methods.
Now have a Skyrocket and of course i love it.A member here helped me flash ics,but for a couple reasons (mainly noob reasons) i flashed back to 2.3.5
Just experimenting with cwm for the first time.Made a recovery.
All i have is stock 2.3.5 rooted with SPB 3d which im sure to alot of you guys here is lame, but i really think its awesome and my fiance loves it..
If i were to ask for help,i guess i would ask what the most efficient way to take what i have backed up, with spb and 2.3.5 and upgrade to 2.3.6 unless its not really worth it..Ive heard there are many differences between .5 and .6 tho...
Or just directions to the 2.3.6 update thread Im really confused by what all the stuff means..Im still reading some begginners stuff a guy sent me.
Anyways,thank you for having me

I believe this is one of the last few links we have for 2.3.6 in a stock form that is cwm flash able. I am sure there is another link somewhere but it is buried under two and a half months of roms in the dev section. Besides its your phone. Put whatever apps or launchers you want on it.

Possibly the worst first post ever. We should have a "best of" list somewhere on this site. Kinda like Craigslist does.

Hi TX
how did you brick your phone?
Did you odin it a Vibrant ROM instead of SGS 4G?
We really need more info.
See if you can get into download mode (yellow triangle) by pressing both volume keys as you plug phone to computer (you will need to install Samsung drivers first)

Is your phone really a GALAXY S 4G or do you have an EPIC 4G like the other guy or an GALAXY S, or any of the other models that people think are this phone and then flash the wrong stuff to it.
together orienh
Its a Samsung Galaxy 4g by tmobile. i flashed the vibrant stuff on there which when i download the tom it did not say it was for vibrant,.
I used Odin to do it with.
i been trying to get it into down load mode since i done bricked it. looks like i might end up buying one of those usb jig to force it.
I ave flashed phone in the past but mostly blackberry's to different carriers.
so as a noob i F**cked up on my personal phone which i have a back up which is not a big deal. all i wanted to do was upgrade from fryo to ice-cream or something better.
Sucks that as of now not given the opertunity to up date software.

"What time is it?"
I typically run something close to Team Acid's CM9. Recently it has been with Hefe Kernel of Darkness, the auto-brightness mods, and I build with TWRP (since I have come to prefer it over Clockwork recovery). I like AOKP for some of its features as well, and find the two perform similarly for me.
Right now I'm running CM9 mainly because of the work on the Aries kernel I'm doing. Team Acid needs to get it running on one ROM solidly before seeing if there are ROM-related things that also need to be resolved.

WOW REALLY? That "unhelpful" link is Samsungs stock firmware repository. Click link, Register, click firmware, search device number, DL firmware for ODIN. How does it feel having your hand held like a little kid?
you know, it snot-nosed stuck-up kids like you that make us not want to help people. first, you post this thread with absolutely no helpful information on what you did to your phone. second, it's obvious you didn't search before you posted, otherwise you wouldn't have posted this thread. third, when people were being helpful and i mean very helpful (most would just point and laugh or flame at you for posting this thread), you don't even thank them. and finally after someone basically held your hand and gave you probably the most helpful link in regards to which rom to flash with odin, you go and disrespect him. but i can also see that maybe there is a little sense in your head cause you actually did use the search feature of this forum and found something helpful also. but that's only "one thing positive for you. hopefully you will learn something from this though. and now i'm going to quote something from someone you may know...

Good evening everyone,
Ok i wanted to clear something up for one.
I did research out my wazoo before posting this.
i posted plain and simple what my phone was doing.
Did not think you had say hey i have a zebra phone. My phone got bricked. yes my fault. i did more research found nothing that's why i posted the basic info thinking someone would say try this.
Ok for the ones who tried to help me thanks but i have gotten one rude person who replied originally. after i posted.
to the guy who posted the link for sammobile now all you did was posted a link thanks but on your side you could have told me register first to get what i need. but you did not so when i went to that link it looked like a place for viriusis, my Virus scanner went off so i posted what i posted, after i seen your post after i post i did what you said and ok some reason all was good. now before anyone replied back, i still did me research and found someone with something helpful not using Odin the link i posted and i said thanks to that person on there thread. I have never flashed an android phone before. i have done blackberries from carrier to carrier sprint to cricket.
For those who were helpful and not rude to me Thank you.
And report me go ahead fine. i am just now getting home from work to reply back to this and say thanks for who have helped.
Have a great day.
That is all.
I don't see anything in this thread worthy of reporting.....what's so horrible here?
What I see is some reading to deeply into things....but nothing said or done againsts any xda rules....other than some non vulgar name calling which was actually done by someone who is doing the reporting.
Sorry but this is sad.
Way to treat a new Guy!.....
@OP
The guy who posted the link for Sammobile is the same guy who "rudely" replied to you. That guy is me. If you think that reply was rude so be it. You provided ZERO useful info. Still haven't. I'm glad you got your phone back up and running. Please stay on stock until you decide to take the time and learn a few things.
OK first off, you need a new virus scanner. That website literally how we got gingerbread on this phone until it was official October last year.
Or you have a bad site open in another tab.
You should have at least looked around the website.
2. One of the first stickies in the general section is the DON'T FLASH ANY VIBRANT ROM thread. It is NOT the same phone.
3. This phone is called the SGH- T959V for future reference.
4. Next time you post, don't blame the guy that helps you.
@hechoen. Just for reference. The website only has leaked firmware up to KI1. You have to go to sampro.pl for KJ6. (It is in polish, and you need an account.(use google chrome for a translator))

[Q] Installing Custom ROM on Infuse

Hey guys, I know your not supposed to install other phones ROM's onto your phone. But I know that the i9100 is very similar to the Infuse, so I was wondering if it's OK to flash an i9100 ROM onto the Infuse?
I couldn't find any similar threads to this question, but I know CM has nightlies for the i9100 and nothing for the Infuse, just wondering if it would work, I don't want to take a chance and brick my phone either
Thanks!

The I9000 is similar, but the kernel and other key things are different. If you are wanting to run a ROM from the I9000, I would suggest checking out one of the porting guides here in the infuse section. It isn't a hard process, and it will ensure that the ROM will work. I do not think a standard I9000 will work on the infuse without modifications. I am on my phone right now, but I'll get the link in a sec for the guide I followed to bring an I9000 ROM to my infuse.
*Edit* here is the awesome guide I used. Pretty simple to follow and takes about 10 minutes once you've done it a few times.

All credit goes to the OP, this guide does work.
