Could try downloading them from Samsung and seeing if that works. There is also the option of flashing through clockworkmod.

Kies Mini can install the needed drivers. Try uninstalling the ones you have then select "Install Drivers" from the menu.
If you don't want to try that route but want the stock 2.3.6 from Samsung (which is what Kies would install), then you can use ODIN. RaverX3X has an ODINable version of it here.

A rooted stock KB5/KC1/KD1 will work. If you're using a custom version of any of those roms you won't be able to upgrade.

I've been cruising around this forum for a couple hours and I see roms to flash via ODIN and deodexed and rooted stock, but no plain-jane out of the box ODIN.
Am I missing something? In the Captivate forum it was easy to find.
ODIN isnt a rom its simply a program/tool used to flash kernels, I recommend you use whitwhawxk's stock kd1 but it is rooted and deodexed (which are good things anyway)

Don't worry I do know that, lol. Not a complete noob.
I'm more concerned with UNROOTING to out of the box state for warranty or resale scenarios or to update via kies mini.
In the Captivate forum the plain Jane Odin was easy to find.
Thanks for your response.

So is that the official unroot method so far? Flash the rooted stock and use SOC to unroot?
Will that result in a perfect out of the box state?
Also haven't been able to find kies on the samsung website. Do I have to register before they'll let me download it?

Again, do not use ROM Manager. It does not work correctly with our phones. Whatever you need to flash, use ODIN or CWM. I'm not sure about UOT Kitchen though.
you flash UOT files though CWM, it works fine and I've done it many times.
Don't use Rom Manager.

sounds like you don't have the correct boot loaders on your phone, and you didn't flash gingerbread properly the first time around.
follow FB's directions to get your phone on a correct gingerbread build with the right boot loaders:

keep it tho honestly because this is the only real device that sucks with rom manger and u wont always have that phone
Raver has a great app on his ROM for CWM access..it's called Quick Boot..get it from market. Remember with GB I'd use kj1 from drhonk. Only use Bali 2.3 with froyo.

Do you guys think that if I do a 2.3.5 kernal by Dr Honks that I wont have to factory rest my phone? Cuz I finally have my phone all organized and the way I like it most and that take forever.

If u do that through CWM recovery then no u won't.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Kj1 would work best.. DL it through the phone if u want, move it to sd from the download folder (could be tapatalk folder depending on which browser u use) and flash through CWM . Should be pain free.

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.
Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

I did not do it, cache, all my data was safe. I suggest you to read what is your specific rom if you have one. They say this sammobile works with all roms.

Are you using CWM or ROM Manager? If the answer is CWM, did you use ROM Manager or NVflash?
Also, have you tried a different ROM, or just the same one?

Basically what the first reply was, but wanted to add in so you know,
If you used ROM Manager to do basically anything, you need to NVFlash CWM and than always use CWM to flash anything. ROM Manager does whats called a fake flash of CWM.
And than yes, which ROM(s)?

Search the G2x development forum for Batch Cleanup Tool. Run that, then flash a stock ROM. Boot that ROM once, then try a custom ROM.

Also which CWM are you using? if you're using touch, rev ert back to an older version
