Is there one that would work for this phone yet? I don't think many people have it yet. I wonder if root methods for Galaxy S would work for this as well, but I hate being a guinea pig.

Root Root method?
- Thread starter clockwork58
- Start date
Which method do you guys recommend? I'm coming over from the x10 community where there were a lot of roms and rooting methods available.
I'm not caught up on the what people are using on the Captivate/Galaxy S series.

Agreed. It sure makes me appreciate how honest and forthcoming Nokia was with the n900 (in retrospect).
I put in a request with the Samsung Open Source Release Center for (at least) the kernel source. Getting impatient though.

I am hoping there will be a European model soon, and fully unlocked..
Otherwise I will have to hope for an unlock/root method to be discovered so I can buy an ex ATT one off eBay.

Go for it. I did my first root last night and custom ROM and it was a breeze. Today I rooted my GIO and my kid's Captive. Make sure your read the thread before doing anything. I got cocky rooting my kid's phone and downloaded a bad zip. I was able to fix, but I learned a hard lesson.
Good Luck.
