I searched the forum and got this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179585
Like they say here, i tried to install Siyah via Odin, but when it gets to "zImagem" it stucks and don't do anything. That happened with Speedmod kernel too.
Anyone here can help me? Maybe the proper version of CF-Root to install, or a secure way to root?

There is no secure or fool proof method of rooting via Odin. Problems are bound to happen!
Install latest kies.
Use a good quality cable.
And try different USB ports.
Use different Odin versions. Run Odin as administrator too.
Disable any antivirus.
Try turning USB debugging ON.
And oh yeah,

You have much more chance of odin working without kies interfering all over the place. He did actually say to uninstall kies in a round about sort of a way, it is in his signature picture, look carefully - it says 'kill kies' lol :laugh:

did you read the link to @hooper8 thread about odin?
Not sure what you think chatON has to do with usb debugging - its not an app, it is a setting in your rom ~ settings/developer settings/usb debugging (check this on)

i've have told you that i've done this before .. and i asked you if the CSC can be the problem because it doesnt match with the other (phone, pda )
and when you check usb debugging lower it says to use a debugger..
Maybe should i try another kernel that is not official?

I think it has already been said a few times by a few of us but: Read @hooper8 excellent tutorial on flashing with odin, read it again and again and do all the things that he suggests - ALL OF THEM - over and over and then some more!
Good luck my friend

Did you do everything in @Hopper8 s tutorial - its good that your looking eles where:good: sometimes the solution is as simple as 'switch it off and switch it back on again'
Heres what I do to get the correct drivers - install kies from samsung - go to programs and uninstall, when I get the message asking if /i want to keep the drivers I click yes, then uninstall kies - get rid of it - Kies effs up odin. Simple as.
I think you really need to do as I and others did now when we got stuck - read the reams of solutions that are already on xda ! And keep trying.
Good luck
