You need to flash updated Google apps, do a search and you will find instructions and links for your issue

You are having a problem because you are on Froyo trying to run apps designed for Gingerbread and above.
Use qkster's Heimdall thread, post 1 will get you GB and post 2 will restore root. Here is the thread, many thanks to qkster: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081

You might want to look at editing your build.prop file. Not sure if that is your problem though

I wouldnt know where to begin on that one.
I can flash CWM/ODIN and some basic troubleshooting. that's my extent of fixing this.
Try this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/
That is a guide on how to get Netflix to work and it may be helpful with your problem. Otherwise try clearing data on the Market and uninstalling updates to the Market. If you uninstall the updates to the Market it will automatically update to the newest version again.

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 have had my Captivate for a while but just recently, a lot of my apps have been force closing and I get the error stating that the process has been stopped unexpectedly. I'm on a stock GB 2.3.5 and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting the data and cache, but it doesn't help. Can anyone help me on this?

Reflash to stock KK4 (The latest and last stock that is released by Samsung, which I'm using now, and having no issues at all), then if still persist, try to flash a custom ROM like Legend 5 to test if the issue is still there.
Refer to this page to DL One click KK4 stock.

You can try to flash this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1541942
The force close issue is usually linked to a full /datadata partition, and this script fixes that.
I've only tried this on CM7/9 though, so proceed with caution.

i have 2.2.2 on my phoenix
Go on the market or your browser and search for an application called 'z4root'. If you're running 2.2.2, it should work like a charm. If it doesn't, also try GingerBreak. These are both great one-click applicatoins that are almost fool-proof rooting tools. GingerBreak (not sure about z4root) also includes a feature to unroot your device as well. Best of luck.
I have the Infuse and I just upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using kies mini and the update from samsung. Upon downloading it and using it for a few days I absoutely hate it and would like to go back to Froyo 2.2.1. I have searched and searched through thread after thread and I have found no solution to this problem due to the fact that you can not root the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 and seems like this is a common problem with no real answer. I have an idea and im no expert but thats why I am here for the help. My girl also has an Infuse and she is still running the Froyo. My question to all of you is there a way to use her phone with the original Froyo OS and transfer it to My Infuse with Gingerbread OS or does anyone know of a solution to the rooting problem with 2.3.6? Thanks for your time.
Read this thread and choose the method best suited for you. Personally, I have always found that Odin is easier to use.

Thanks so much for the help I kind of feel dumb now. I figured out the reason Odin couldn't recognize my device was because of the USB cable. I switched the cable and bam it worked... thanks for taking the time to guide me in the right direction.

How do you not like gingerbread? Copy and paste. Smoother. More options. More apps work. Etc...
If you hate gingerbread don't go to jellybean they really rearrange the buttons on top of the new features.
Gingerbread made my lock screen not work properly and some of the features I didn't like so I'm running 4.0.4 and so far I love it.
