Try this App created by a forum member in the dev section (Download the ROGERS version):

It should automate a lot of your needs as far as root and ROM flashing. Make sure to read through the help Wiki located in the captivate dev section before flashing.

so this is not for rooting? im looking for that update.zip file that i can put on my sd and root it that way

it has that zip and a bunch of others. also check out the stock rom in my sig use it with AIO toolkit instead of the file he includes for flashing to stock. you will need it eventually.
also if you are on 2.2 already you will need the 3e "signiature verifacation" fix.

and why dont you want to use superoneclick root? veresion 1.7 works great.

thanks that helped me 2

for me I couldn't get the AIO toolkit to work for me. So I had to use SuperOneClick, and it worked flawlessly. Less than 2 minutes to root.
However I use AIO for everything else, as it makes everything else so much easier (especially flashing). although for master clears I had to dl odin one-click, but that's trivial.
make sure to see which version of AIO you are downloading- bay_wolf has noted that version 2.6 is for rogers, and the most stable atm version to use for rogers.

Inspire 4G and the cyanogenmod (questions)

Im new to the android community and phones. I bought an Inspire with gingerbread (2.3.3) and would like to add cyanogenmod to it but the tutorials look so "harmfull" they scare me away so i have some question.
Can i downgrade from 2.3 to android v1?
Have anyone here rooted and flashed the same phone I have?
What is "radio? Can I change it to another one? how can I tell if it will work with my carrier?

please, please, please. READ
these questions you are asking concern me
1. you dont downgrade to v1....because it doesnt exist
2. we all have the same phone as you, otherwise we wouldnt have an inspire section
3. there is an entire thread dedicated to this very subject....look in the dev section.
there are easy to follow guides, tutorials, and walkthroughs here, but you have to READ...there is ZERO excuse for not reading and comprehending this stuff. if it is too much for you, you should NOT be doing any of it, and leave your phone stock

This is why I said..im NEW with this... none of what you helped in some way.

ALL the information you seek is already here, but you have to READ
Sorry if all you want is someone to hold your hand and spoonfeed information to you
NEW or not, it doesnt matter. I was NEW to this phone when i got it. I READ, the same way i have done with all my other phones. I READ to understand what i am doing and how to do it.

this question has come up several times in the last month. yes it works just fine

Hi, i just rotted the unit and everything was fine
So i decided to use, cyanogenmod, it installed
now i can make calls but it does not connect to the data network portion.
Any ideas?
I noticed the radio baseband is slighly different than the original. could it be?

Sorry. was quick. i entered the APN settings and it is now connecting.. just Edge....before (stock rom) i had "H" (guessing is 3G). Now it only connects to E (edge i assume).
The weird thing is that before whenever i was in an area with only edge It would not allow me to browse but now I can.
any idea jedi master?

you can try a different radio. look at the radio thread in the dev section

Sorry to bother you so much. I was able to solve the radio issue. Now, since the market app wasn't included i followed the guide on how to install gapps but after doing so i can't get pass the boot screen "touch the android to begin".
I try to wipe and reflash but still does not let me do it. Any ideas?

did you touch the android to begin?

Yes, sir. But it will still restart.
i try to wipe data and restart the process but same thing happens.
Tried taping the four corners and an still happening.
Someone said the the gapps file might be corrupted.
Right now cyanogenmod is a pain. is there a way to install another room or the stock one through recovery?
Thanks for all your help!

no. this will leave you an unrooted stock rom
why dont you browse the dev forum here and look at all the ROM offerings?

I think i will just go with the stock one and the do the same procedure (using the hack kit and just leave it stock rooted....
would that be ok?

[Q] How to put latest version of android on SGS4G

Sorry about the numerous posts, I have now successfully rooted my phone (I know its not impressive...). Now I have a few questions:
1. How do I put the latest stock android on my SGS4G? Or the latest "good" version of android on my SGS4G?
2. Since the phone is default on tmobile, I was wondering, will I still be able to do wifi calls? What I mean by that is, when I got the phone, it had a wifi calling app that turned off cell phone connections whenever I had wifi.
3. Will I be able to tether without tmobile charging me for tethering? I do have a data plan.
4. I know rooting is basically like gaining administrator access, but what are the biggest advantages of rooting? Just a personal question to you guys.
5. Last, will I be able to restore my phone as if I had just bought it from tmobile, if I install the latest, or best android version onto it?
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP GUYS. It really helps.

If you are on gingerbread 2.3.6 you have the latest stock rom.

Play around and find out. Go to the market and look for apps that require root.

Okay look, its not that I'm too lazy to look for these posts, I don't understand which they are. Like I said, I'm just starting to learn about android so I don't know what deodexed is, so that's why I'm asking people to help me find a stock 2.3.6. with no modifications.

Stock 2.3.6? You can either upgrade via Samsung's official Kies Mini software or you can grab RaverX3X's ROM-ODIN-2.3.6-Gingerbread Offical. It's based on the Kies files downloaded from Samsung just repackaged for ODIN for people having issues using Kies.

Reread above.
Edit: Stephen beat me to it. I put a CWM flashable stock link above. He posted the odin version. If you become familiar with flashing in CWM you can flash any rom... at least that has been my experience so far.
Edit 2: Here is another helpful set of instructions with files included: GB Ext4 Starter Pack

Okay I am seriously confused right now. Can we just start over fresh?
Basically this is what happened:
1. I succesfully rooted my phone using superoneclick
2. I was going through the tutorial found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16600185
But then Stephen mentioned that I could just using kies through samsung.
3. I tried Kies, but it didn't work
4. I talked to samsung representatives for like an hour with no success
5. I tried to put stock gingerbread from RaverX3X.
6. I almost bricked my phone since it just nonstopped restarted while displaying a bunch of dots on the screen
7. I restored my phone to factory settings
Right now it says I have 2.3.4 (Gingerbread I believe), but I have no idea how... So what I'm looking to do is to put RaverX3X's official gingerbread on my phone. My phone is not rooted, and doesn't have anything on it I believe. No USB drivers either. Where should I start?
And again thank you guys for sticking with me and helping me, I am so confused so if you can just either give me step-by-step instructions, or link me to a topic that has them. THANK YOU

Please forum question /w some others.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Alright what I want to do is make a copy, clone, or back-up of my stock rom and if its at all possible to unroot the phone. Why? because if anything happened to my phone example I droped it and something like the 4g stoped working I would still like the use my insurance to replace it.
Now I've looked all over the forums not just on this site but others to see if this was a possibility. I was able to find a Recovery thread on the wiki but it says FROYO ONLY! Let me give you a little info about my phone it might help you, help me. Firmware 2.3.6, Kernel 2.6.35.7, Build Gingerbread, model SGH-T959V and I rooted it with the newest superoneclick. I'am really good with computer junk and with tutorials a simple link to lead me in the right direction should be all I need.
Another thing I was looking at was Valhalla Final T959V I seen a tutorial somewhere on that but lost it. A link to that would be really sweet.
Sorry if I'am being a pain in the butt but I do really appreciate your help. Thanks

That thread also has a "back-to-stock" flasher in case you need to return or service your phone.

You two are gentlemen and a scalars. I'll give them a shot when I get out of work. Thanks!

Help , pls android install

Neeed help pls, cant install stock android 2.1 whit odin, my captivate its only accept from android 2.2 and further.

Just out of curiousity, is there some specific reason you need 2.1? If you're just wanting to go back to it for nostalgic reasons, I think that the one-clicks in Development section are the only way to go right now.
If you're just trying to go back to stock for warranty purposes, I believe that AT&T officially pushed out the Gingerbread update, so you could flash that one and take it in.

If you're only going to be going to a Jellybean rom, you could also just download a Gingerbread-based stock one-click from the development section (with bootloaders) and flash that. It would get rid of the 3e error, and give you the bootloaders you'll need to flash anything else as well.
As always, be careful when flashing bootloaders, though. Make sure you have a good connection to you computer.
