Do a google search for "Heimdall"
EDIT: Look here for Heimdall http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/samsung-captivate/

I used dd on my linux box to write the cwm image to my device and then flashed the rooted system.img without tripping the flash counter. I believe that DA G (our kernel guru) mentioned where to write the recovery (mmcblk___). I unfortunately can't look atm, but the info is buried somewhere in our great dev section

Couldn't you use WINE and run the windows applications or try using a virtual desktop?
Orrrrrr just use splashtop to get your windows on your phone
"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
To use Heimdall just download and install it then watch some videos on youtube of people showing how to root other Samsung devices with Heimdall. The process is the same just use files made for rooting the Note.
EDIT: Apparently the Galaxy Note is not compatible with Heimdall. I have searched for the past couple hours and can confirm Heimdall isn't compatible with the Note. It may be in the future but for now I guess ODIN and Windows is your only option for rooting. If I were you I would install windows in VirtualBox and use odin to flash a rooted kernel.
This problem is frustrating, and I hope that I can find *and share a recipe with commands and all* to answer the original question.

Hi,
I'm in China and have a genuine S5830. However, typical of foreign firmware, it's all designed and geared to Chinese.
What I want:
English apps and the phone recognized as English, not Chinese, as the default install language. (I have the English language option, but most apps assume I'm Chinese. Also, there's no Android Market in China.)
I'm guessing that my IP address is sometimes to blame, but I'd like an English firmware to reduce the problem. I'm hoping a full-blown English-market firmware will install more in English.
What I've tried:
Downloaded this file: S5830XWKS3_S5830XWKS2_S5830VIRKP1_HOME.tar.md5
from http://www.samfirmware.com/ as a UK 2.3.5 single-file install
Opened ODIN Odin3 v1.85 and followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But it sticks on 'setupconnection'.
I've searched elsewhere and tried changing USB ports and re-checked the sequence; as well as being quick with the process.
The phone is always on "Downloading" but no progress bar.
Odin reports various COM numbers - highlighted yellow - depending on the USB ports I try.
But nothing happens. I can close ODIN, or just pull the USB and the phone is unharmed - nothing has happened.
Any ideas? Is there a better flash program now?
Will an English firmware solve the all-Chinese apps on the Samsung Apps and Android Market (when I get it)?
I plan to try a windows 7 32-bit machine tomorrow. Currently on Win7 64.
Thanks in advance for any help.
David.
A letter to newbies.
You have a s5830, so please stick to the guides here on XDA specially made for it, than everything should be fine.
=> [TUTORIAL] How to upgrade, root, flash ... by hubix
As you can see: The ODIN version 4.38 is the recommended one to flash Samsung stock roms.
There you can even watch the video how to accomplish the task.
Next you should read and try to understand this:
=> A Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Ace by EmoBoiix3
Those are pinned threads in their subforums. It's always a good starting point to read up this threads first. That's the reason, why they're stickies in the first place.
If you can't understand everything after the first time going through the guides, than things will be clearer on the second or third round. Try to google the informations you need more clarifications on. Maybe you can help other new members and add some missing or more clear instructions.
If you're at the end of your research and can't find any solution on your own, than other XDA members surely will help to solve the problem you've encountered by posting a new relevant thread.

Already did. Over 2 hours spent searching and your forum link in the first post was the best I found, and ODIN was mentioned in many forums. A search for ODIN on google gave me a forum that linked to the latest Odin as this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamacid/files/fb/flash/Odin3 v1.85.zip/download?use_mirror=tenet and as it was sourceforge, I assumed it was the latest.

I understand you get many new people on here who never search. Your forum is massive. I made the mistake of not looking specifically in "development" as you look like an app developer site. Developers get heavily involved in stuff I know nothing about and, as I said, I usually find firmware updates in a modding/rooting forum.
I'll look at the details here, which seems to have links to files and be exactly what I'm looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
However, the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=570045&d=1302939745 to the Odin multidownloader is only 257 bytes and doesn't work.
Please bear in mind I'm in China and although my proxy can get Facebook, Youtube and most other sites to work, we cannot use multiupload/megaupload on any browser with any proxy.
Thank you for your help.
David.
Edit: So far all links searching for Odin 4.38 are on multiupload.com and I cannot access them. Frustrating!

Thanks SGA. I want to follow the instructions on the link Tossan gave (C. Flashing the newest firmware, but I can't download Odin. For some reason it is <300 bytes in size; although reporting as a .rar file, nothing can open it.
The Odin I downloaded from sourcefourge (v1.85) is 417KB and opens/runs properly.
I have the firmware; checksum verified.
Where can I find the other files, not on mega/multiupload?
David.
The Odin you want is 4.38. Searching "Odin Multi 4.38" on Google you should find it. It's 444kb in size, and often an rar file extension. You'll need cooper_v1.ops too.

If you've managed to download the rom from samfirmware.com, than you should also try to download Odin directly from there (-> Flashprograms / Flashguides).
You should report to hubix in his thread about the Odin file attachement problem, to give him a chance to correct it and other users to benefit from your discovery.

Sorry, I couldn't download from there, I looked at the file ID and searched online; finally found it on Hotfile.

Edit: I learned I needed "Odin Multi Downloader v4.38" for the S5830, and as I had a one package install I had to:
1) On ODIN click the OPS button and load the Cooper_v1.0.ops file on it that I downloaded.
2) Click on the One Package button then select and load the Single S5830XWKS3_S5830XWKS2_S5830VIRKP1_HOME.tar.md5 file.
3) Click start and let it do it's magic.
Planning on picking up a note next week, I've looked at the dev page for root instructions but I can't really make heads or tails of them and all of the videos I view seems to be the international version. Can anyone confirm of root or is is a work in progress and I should just wait.

Just rooted mine using the steps from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
Coming from a Dell Streak this was a whole different process but it was really easy.
Now, seems the rooting/unrooting of the European version does not makes your rom count go up (please excuse my lack of proper terminology) therefore you can return your phone to stock (ex. for a warranty claim) without Samsung knowing you have mess with the rom. Is that the same for this version and if not is that in the works? How about unrooting the phone?
Thanks.
I have yet to hear one single actual case where Samsung denied a hardware claim because of the counter. People are going root counter crazy around here. C'MON ITS XDA! This is why we are all here, right??

You have to download the file. There are links to everything you need in Da_G's root threads in the dev section. Download, extract, then browse to the file via Odin, just like you tried above.
Edit: Actually with this one you don't even need to extract it. Its already a .tar file.

Hi
I'm sure you get this a lot, but I really suck at this. Its my third week surfing these forums and I still can't put a step by step guide in my head on how to root it. A lot of the phrases are out of my understanding, so I'm going to ask and hope someone replies
Here's what I got : Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100. Android 4.0.3 , Kernel 3.0.15-I9100XXLPS-CL294511, Build number IML74K.XXLPS
The question is this : Can I root it with 1 click? Truly, without searching for some drivers and stuff I'm not sure I'll find.
Please be aware that I really suck at this, and that I'm basically rooting my phone for Market Enabler and to remove that thing that pops when you double tap center key, the voice command thing, drives me nuts.
Thank you and have a great day!

Use the XX_OXA_LPS CF-Root kernel to root. (find it by doing a "find on page" on the thread) Follow the instructions in post 1.
You will need Kies installed, but not running, for drivers. (or the standalone Samsung USB drivers) Both or either can be found easily with a Google search.
Hey,
Thank you for your quick reply! I do have Kies, as it came on the phones SD card
I will give this a go right now, thank you again for saving me moar weeks of search <3

I didn't download it to check, but just watching the video, (at 3:02) the command window that pops up clearly says "Easy rooting toolkit (v2.0) created by DooMLoRD" up at the top, followed by "Modified by Max Lee @ GalaxyS2Root.com". (I believe Max Lee is zedomax, but I don't know for sure)
I don't know what this Max Lee fellow changed, but I'm willing to bet that the actual exploit used to gain root is exactly the same, yes.

Hi,
Im new to the rooting, and i have been searching google, youtube, this forum and probably everywhere to find answers to my questions, but im having a hard time to find out what will work with my verson. I have found ALOT of "how to" guides on root, but i feel they all go to quick and say install this and this and do that.. But im sitting and wondering WHAT is all this files, what do they do, and is this the correct way for my verson?
Im very confused
Info on my SGS2:
Android-verson: 4.0.3
Baseband verson: I9100XXLPQ
Kernalverson: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505
What im interested to try is put a clean verson if ICS on my phone.
I also tried to follow a guide i found on galaxy2root for the ICS, but after unzipped the kernal file, i should have a .tar file but i just get a zImage.file. This will not open in Odin 1.85.
I had an iphone 4 that i got "jailbroken" and got that to work very good. So i can do things like this, but i really like to know what im doing before i start.
I hope i dont get fried for probably asking this for the 100000000 time, but as i said, i tried to search everywhere, but im just so confused, so if anyone could point me in the correct direction i would be very happy.

Hi again,
I got the phone rooted, and working fine.
But having some problems with installing the custom rom.
I follow the guide, and do everything it says, after its finish installing (that takes ca one minute, and it should take more then five?) it says everything is good. And i restart, get the yello triangle and the screen goes black, now its supposed to boot, but it stays black.
Cant understand what i did wrong
I got the phone restored, so it works now but i really want to try the pure ics rom

my friend you wont get support for such ROMs which are not from XDA..
there are plenty of ROM on XDA developers site : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204
select any of them and follow the instruction....
How can i know thats a different "place" ?
As you probably understod a long time ago, im a newbe noob.
You cant expect me to know all this, thats why im here in the first place.
I understand that it anoying when people like me come here and ask questions thats been asked before, im active in a bmw forum and know all about stupid questions, but you guys are the experts at this, im not.
I was not sure if i wanted to ask on xda at all, after seeing the video. It made it sound like its not legal to come here and ask stupid questions.
But, thanks for the info, i will check the roms on xda.

Maybe you guys can answer a question, i have now installed a rom from the XDA forum, and its called F1-Galaxy Nexus (i think), its a clean ICS rom.
But im missing the Notes and the file manager, and i think there are som other apps thats missing to. The description said this should be exactly like the Nexus, but i would think the Nexus also have the Notes app?
Other than that, it works great!

Hi guys!
I'm seeking for a good root file to apply on my device (Galaxy SII GT I9100). I already have a 4.1.2 jelly bean installed on device.
Anyone knows where can I get it? I've seen many sources on goolgle, but I don't know which source is safest to download the file.
Can you guys help me with that, please? I appreciate it!
Thanks a lot!
What do you mean with 'root file'? If you search for guides, for example here on xda, you can just follow the steps.

What do you mean with 'root file'? If you search for guides, for example here on xda, you can just follow the steps.

I just want to root my phone. I am looking for a "kernel zip file" to flash it into to my phone and get the phone rooted.
Do you know where can I get this "zip file"?
Thanks!
To flash via Odin? Or CWM / TWRP?

You can flash a custom kernel with Odin (or even find other methods). If you search and read a bit, I think it shouldn't be that hard to figure out which ones and where you can find them. No offence, but this has been covered for so many times by now, so the answers are already out here.
To the person above me: I think his phone isn't rooted yet

No dude, I didn't think it was an offence. I already tried to find this zip file here on xda, but I coun't find it yet! I'll keep trying to find that here. If I need help, I'll come back here to say something, cool!
Thanks anyway!
