hello all, I have a relatively new Samsung Captivate that is now running Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM. I bought it from someone who had put Gingerbread on it for me.
I want to get it rooted but I have no idea what I'm doing so I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKH3-CL461307
baseband version: I897UCKH3
I hope I have not made a redundant post, I've seen other posts but none of them seem to pertain to a Captivate with 2.3.4 Gingerbread.

Hey kbolt,
have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723116
Good luck,

Thank you for the quick reply, Bushido. I realised that the latest post in the link is from last year, and after skimming through it (i'll do a proper read through when i have time) I don't know if it's speaking directly to my problem. Or have I missed something?

Would this process work for my situation?
I'm not yet allowed to post links so could you just look at the following website please:

Of course, I'm asking for all this help because I am so very afraid of bricking this phone.

Hey kbolt,
you are right - the Samsung Captivate officially got Gingerbread 2.3.4 in the end of august 2011. All the root-versions I found are only approved with froyo. Have a look at this page and the links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I897
One thing you could do is flash a custom rom, which is already rooted i.e.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238551
When something should go wrong, you can flash back the stock rom:

Hello,
I haven't flashed since my first smart phone (HTC WING).. now Sensation 4g. So what I have done so far after much research:
S-off
CWM installed
Backup of stock made (and used..)
No firmware update (probable issue)
I have read and im inferring from the posts that since im on Gingerbread I need to do a firmware update to ICS. I would like to know however to use the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM is there yet another Firmware update I will need to install or is it not necessary at all.
I am assuming its firmware most likely but id rather not assume.
I get stuck at the splash screen advises me to pick a language and reboots constantly.
Thanks in advance.
Just bumping to ensure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
Its a kernel you'll need to run it ... go to the ROM forum your trying to install and ask or look youll find it ...

Hi, does anyone know if the connectivity issues affecting P6800 users running the latest version of the Paranoid Android ROM (2.53) also affect the WiFi only model (P6810)? I see a lot of people posting about it, but all of them are using the P6800.
Ordinarily, I would just download the stable 2.50, but goo.im says the link is bad...
Also, is the ROM pre-rooted, or do I need to root it myself in CWM?
(I'm posting here because for some reason, I can't post in the development forum where the thread is).
Thread moved to Q & A section.
I'm using my own build pa v2.55 on my p6800. The wifi and gps issues seems fixed. p6810 and p6800 is almost identical in the device tree content. I think the same thing may apply to p6810.
I think Androguide's v2.55rom is coming very soon. Try it...
---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------
one more question forgot to answer.
The pa rom is already rooted. You don't have to do it in CWM.
hi, could someone please point me towards a thread where it is explained how to use odin to flash the kernel on the galaxy 3?
i'm trying to follow the instructions for flashing CyanogenMod 7.2 (Alpha9 - MTD) as found on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309390
i already have CyanogenMod 7.2 Alpha9 on my phone. i just can't figure out how to use odin to flash the kernel so i can then update to the MTD version. everything i've tried either does nothing or ends up with a bricked phone and i have to start over again. what version of odin should i be using? should i be using PDA or one package mode? should i be using the OPS file?
please direct me to a thread and not just an area of the site. i know what bits to look in, and i can't find the information i need. i can't ask in the CyanogenMod 7.2 (Alpha9 - MTD) thread because my post count isn't high enough to post in that bit of the forum.
Hi!
Normally we only link members to threads here....but before I worry about that, I should simply tell you that kernels from the development sections generally get flashed from your custom recovery. Not with Odin.
If I understand what you are saying, that's your problem.
---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------
In other words....please carefully read the opening posts of anything you want to flash. Instructions for flashing are almost always listed there.
---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------
OK, I see it does have a Odin flashable kernel. My mistake.
I also see you already asked about it in the Q&A section....which is exactly what I was about to advise you to do.
You will have to patient and wait for an answer there.
Also, you can look around and comment or ask questions ....making constructive posts. After 10 posts, you can post in the ROM thread also.
Good luck!
thanks, didn't mean to be impatient, but i thought maybe my original post was asking people to recover old ground, and that a request to be directed to the relevant thread would be more appropriate.
if there's a version of this kernel that is flashable from recovery, a link to that would be better yet, as i'm getting along fine with CWM recovery, whereas i'm finding odin to be confusing and temperamental.
I'm afraid I can't help further. You've found where to look and post , and that is what we do here on Assist. Nothing more I'm afraid. ?
cool, thanks for your help!
i've realised that the problem i had all along was that the zip archive containing the cyanogenmod 7 MTD version update was corrupt. i've re-downloaded that and now have the MTD version running.

Gnabo rom v7 flash errore MD5 file not found (TWRP)

I use the TWRP recovery to install the ROM, but the tablet writes me that can not find the file MD5? how should I do? odin can not use it because I have the 4.4.2 German protected by knox. For version 6.5 I used the TWRP.

MD5?? sounds like a bad download I might be wrong though, try downloading the ROM again if you still have the problem change your recovery to CWM
make sure the rom size u downloaded is correct 700MB++, my first download is just around 500MB, and i need to use diff link to download again.
I don't want to update my bootloader to kitkat, still is 4.1.2. (with ARHD).
If I flash Gnabo ROM and Boeffla-Kernel, will Wifi work?

Do you guys think there will ever be a working version of lollypop for our divides?
Appologies, i know its of topic. But this is probably the busiest n80xx thread going, and who's going to have a better opinion than us =)

BlueTooth Tethering is connected but no internet
Hello,
I just moved over to this ROM V7 on my n-8013, and it's fantastic. I have an issue with Bluetooth tethering going thru my phone, the setting show it as connected (paired and connected to device for internet access) however there is no internet. The Browser prompts with " Wi-Fi connection required. Connect to Wi-Fi network and try again".
Note that WiFI tethering works fine. I prefer Bluetooth to help mask the tethering from the carrier.
Previous to Gnabo i was on another 4.4.4 based ROM where this BT tethering did work(other things did not)..
Any Ideas? I have seen dome references to a possible KK issue but it's not clear.
Thank You.
Update: if I do not flash the RPS bluetooth tethering works fine. I tried flashing be of RPS, but still had the tetherING issue.
Where is the Tab-4 Messaging App
Thanks for the new ROM- Much appreciated!
The change log talked about a Tab-4 Messaging App., but I cant find it. Is there something I need to do to activate it? I have a GT-N8013.
BTW, I did a dirty flash from Gnabo 6.5 and also lost root an WIFI on flash. Reflashing Boeffla fixed both problems...

For those who have troubles using screen mirroring with custom kernels add "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable" in your build.prop and restart. Screen mirroring should work fine now, even with custom kernel.

Finding the download for boeffla is a little confusing. From the op in his thread follow the link to his site. From there you see listed all the versions he supports. But you can't download from that list. Go to the top of the page left column and you will see the download option. That will take you to all the various downloads. Then just pick the one you need.
