Okay.
Recently I felt like rooting my phone.
I have previously rooted 3 different Samsung Captivates with no problems at all.
They all took approximately 5 minutes.
Today, I tried rooting the device via SuperOneClick, which did not work for some reason. So I browsed around looking for and trying different methods of rooting.
I found this guide on these forums:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-all-things-root/483646-guide-root-official-2-3-5-guide.html
I followed exact instructions and had absolutely no problems. I completed the first half, which involved "I897UCKF1-AutoRoot-DesignGears.tar"
Before finishing with the second half involving "KK4_stock_kernel.tar", I tried updating Superuser on my phone using Wi-Fi as it told me to. However, when i tapped the Wi-Fi turn on button, it went faded green, then bright green as if it were on, then approximately 20 seconds later it shut off. (Wi-Fi connection NEVER ACTUALLY TURNED ON though).
So I never went ahead and finished the stock kernel step as I was worried about what it would do, and what already happened.
But my main issue is the Wi-Fi. How do I fix this?
EDIT: I just thought, would my phone reset when i did the "KK4_stock_kernel" part? Or what would happen?
