I flashed stock 2.3.6 via Odin and then downloaded the newest OneClickRoot which I believe is 2.2 and ran it and I got root. I proceeded to remove all the bloatware afterwards. Just thought I'd give people a heads up that this method definitely works.

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?

Hey guys,
GPS Isn't working, and I need LBSTestMode, since I don't have it right now after upgrading to 2.3.4.
Where or which firmware do I download from here:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm
or wherever else that is 2.2.1 and will work on the Galaxy S 4G.
I'm in Canada on the Bell network.
Thanks!
Check out the bible in the dev section. It has links to every rom we have for the sgs4g. There are odin versions and cwm. If your looking for it you can,most likely find it there.

Well it doesn't have 2.2.1
I'm looking for the official Stock Firmware which I'm just going to root later on.
Isn't kd1 2.2.1? Or flash kb5 then use mini kies to update it to stock

I was rooted....then I did the LG update and flashed Stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread. I wanna go back to Weapon, but RomManager is not opening. Did the update unroot my phone??

LG and almost every other phone manufacturer or service provide don't send out rooted updates. So yes, your phone is no longer rooted.

Ok, thanks. I know what I'll be doing when I get home from work later.

Superoneclick doesn't work on Gingerbread, I believe. Try flashing a custom recovery from NVFlash.

Is it possible for LG to know if the phone was rooted?

I've been doing a little bit of reading, and I keep seeing that the G2x Gingerbread 2.3.3 can't be rooted yet? Is this true?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
No that's false. Nvflash clockwork and flash the root zip. It will root gingerbread

I just rooted a GB G2X. Just do what the Guy above me said.

Use NVflash to flash cwm then install weapon. ROM Manager is useless on the g2x

Has anybody tried using SuperOneClick v2.2 with the new T-Mobile Galaxy S4G update (2.3.6) ? If so, did it work ? Did it brick your device or what ?
Others have reported it working, but in my opinion you are better off flashing one of drhonks kernels over the update, so that you'll have root and clockwork. This is being discussed in the development section, check it out.

KJ1 should do the job just fine. SuperOnClick should be fine also if all you want is root.
You. Will. Obey. XDA Premium
SOC 2.2 works fine.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
If you really want to stick to KJ6 kernel, I say use SOC 2.2. First time it will hang, but second time it will root. Or wait for dr.honk KJ6 modded kernel since there is not one yet.
Whats the easiest way to root a samsung captivate?

Google "super one click"
Very easy.

with super on click it gets stuck
I installed corn kernel 7.0A. It's similar to stock kernel but has voodoo sound, ext4, and rooting capabilities. All accessible from the recovery reboot menu. Very easy.
The kernel is flashed with odin.

really dnt think there is a super one click for captivates running 2.3.5... yet.
SuperOneClickv2.3.1-ShortFuse does work for kk4, i can personally testify. it takes quite a long while to complete though, some number of minutes. i usually take a break at that point and go read some random article or something like that to pass time, but when i check back on it later its done and i have su fully working.
