You have to discover by yourself what suits your needs.

the new user guide (that i wrote) teaches about stickies! and where to find them!
find the stickies in the captivate general, q&a and dev forums they have all the answers you are looking for and way more.
go. read. learn.
this is really basic stuff. At&t does not like you installing apps not from the market "its called side loading" you need to be rooted to fix it and there are pleanty of guides "one click root has an option to enable non market apps" to get a different rom go to the dev sectoin chose a rom and follow the simple directions or for a guide for the entire process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Assuming what you meant was that you want ATT's crap taken off and a new ROM...
Why would you not want your device rooted? If voiding your warranty is a concern it's fine, there are plenty of methods to return back to stock Eclair/Froyo. And there really isn't a ROM out there that's head and shoulders over the rest, you're going to have to play around and see which one you like the feel of the best. Try out a different ROM every couple of days and see how you like it.

If you are asking someone to help you build a rom well... I don't think that will happen. You can go to samfirmwares.com and download a stock i9000 rom, but without root you, and if you don't know how to build to incorporate the home button and haptic feedback fixes, your phone won't work right. My suggestion is to go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
They are all stock i9000 roms with only busybox and root installed. I'm using the stock jvh on my captivate, at the moment, and it works great. You will have to deal with root. It's better to be rooted anyway.

Only replying to that small part of your post, and correcting you by saying no, you don't need to be rooted to sideload applications. SWM (Sideload Wonder Machine) can do it so long as you have the drivers installed and USB Debugging on. I installed several applications as soon as I got the phone, long before I ever rooted my phone, much less installed a custom ROM on it.

Why didn't you use google? There are plenty of places that explain how to root that aren't on this site, which is more an "advanced" place anyways(I use that term loosely, but I get the idea that people here assume you know a little about your phone).
Check out MobileTechVideos, the guy who does those had a three-part, in-depth ROM flash set of videos that explain exactly how to use One-Click to Root.
Edit:
Christ dude, use some decent punctuation and at least attempt to be succinct in your requests. Freaking out isn't going to get you anywhere.

i like the fact that the OP thinks superoneclick doesnt work with i9000
it works with damn near EVERYTHING, nearly EVERY PHONE
I like the fact that this should be in the i9000 section..
Is this a i9000, or a Captivate? If it's an i9000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=748
The i9000 is not a captivate. It's a GalaxyS. The captivate is a type of GalaxyS, just like the i9000. They're different phones with different ROMs, with different kernels with different hardware with different drivers. They are GalaxyS's but a i9000 is NOT a captivate.
Adam...i believe he may have flashed I9000 gingerbread on his captivate. (perhaps a froyo I9000 firmware who the hell can tell at this point.) Notice he said auto rotation doesn't work, and he's asking for stock rogers firmware so it's definitely a cappy.

yeah. he has a captivate, but has flashed an i9000 rom with i9000 kernel. he didnt read everything he was told to read, or he would have understood that he needed a reoriented kernel. he also wouldnt be making threads like this.
I read but trying to decipher what is old what isn't what works and what won't yea I flashed gt i9000 ,in the other read I had a different issue so I didn't post this problem there cause I didn't think I would be seen, my buddy put g.bread cm7nightly on my phone it didn't work, so I desperate and short on time(screaming kids all weekend) used odin and put gti 9000 onto my captivate please send me the info I need, before I throw this phone against a brick wall

First, GT-I9000 is a cousin of captivate. Flashing GT-I9000 ROM is not a huge problem if you have proper kernel to support it. Infact all the GB roms in captivate dev section are derived from GT-I9000 ROM.
Second, why is that u dont want to ODIN back to eclair first if u really want to be on stock?
I think you need to calm down first and do a bit of study before doing anything crazy with ur phone
Edit: And i am guessing you have flashed GB bootloaders so to get into recovery try Power + Volume UP
I don't know where to get the Rogers firmware, but if you want a captivate 2.2 ROM...
Here.... http://files.teamkomin.com/Andromeda/Tools/Andromeda3-HeimdallPackage.zip
Use the Andromeda3 heimdall package. Its simple enough to figure out and everything you need is included. Just put your phone into download mode and flash it.
edit: if you have flashed 2.3 bootloaders, you are on your own. I will not recommend flashing bootloaders. You will need to find a 2.2 bootloader for your phone.
Thanks for the link,odin makes sense to me now so i understand the multiple files needed,we (me and the guy who owns the mobile solutions store tried for 4 hours to boot into recovery and dl mode,followed connexion 2005 3 finger fix to a tee,got the file onto phone,cannot root either because apparently phone thinks its a i9000,we tried old one click root and when it puts phone into recovery mode power button will not allow selection also re-inst packages opt is not there,maybe next a jig? thinking of grabbing 3 100k ohm resistors and trying that method im all out here..am i stuck with a 500$ paper weight or what???
jeez....read. read.... and read some more
SUPERONECLICK will root your fkn phone. it doesnt matter if the computer thinks its an i9000 or not!

I assume you've got the i9100 model.
The first thing you want to do, is get to the correct forum. General discussion isn't going to be much help for a model-specific question.
The thread you're looking for can be found here.
If you want more information, try searching google for 'samsung galaxy s2 how to return to stock'... or check the 'stickies' in the parent forum to the thread above (stickies = useful threads that have been bookmarked by mods which will always appear at the top of the list of threads in a forum).
The stickies are marked sticky, because they're the FAQs of the forums. I actually have better things to do than hold your hand and guide you through the process. Sorry if I sound like a ****, I really hope this helped, but you've gotta read and research the topic like the rest of us.
what you need to do is flash a stock from back on your device and optionally a rooting kernel ( if you want it rooted of course. if not you can just skip this part).
there's a dedicated thread for this although I'm unsure as to which sub forum it lies. look for 'carrier-branded firmware for odin' and pick the one for o2.
Wrong forum...
Have you tried doing a factory reset? Usually fixes things like this.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Showcase on Straight Talk, I've been trying to find a thread on how to get it rooted but haven't had any luck so far. It's running

if anyone could lead me in the right direction or has the information on hand I would be very grateful with assistance, and so would everyone else with the same phone. It is a sub-par phone stock, and I would like it to run a bit better.

I successfully rooted a Samsung Galaxy S Showcase on Straight Talk using the method in this link, but be warned there is no support and no custom roms that can be flashed to this phone. It works great if you just want to root it, but if you are wanting to root so that you can install a custom rom, then I wouldn't waste my time.
I cannot post outside links unfortunately, but google search "rooting samsung galaxy showcase" and there is a guide on rootzwiki

Hello Glory,
here is a guide for how to flash a new firmware to your device.
In this Q&A section of your device you can post your question about the wifi tethering issue.
Maybe it will be fixed by flashing a new firmware automatically.
General information:
For wifi tethering your phone needs to be connected with the internet via your mobile carrier ... so your mobile contract must cover this mobile data option.
My tapatalk signature:
Phone: SGS5 (SM-G900F)
ROM: Stock G900FXXU1ANE2
Kernel: CF-Auto-Rooted stock G900FXXU1ANE2
Recovery: PhilZ-touch
If you have any question about or any issue with your SGS2, just ask in the New members friendly Q&A thread.
If you need general help/assistence, please go to XDA-Assist.
