So simply I just seem not to grasp or figure out how to get Cog 2.2 on my Froyo leak...
I have to root to use RomManager and Clockwork Recovery...I don't know if TheBeast Root will work, I know OCLF won't allow me to try...
I just don't want to flash back to stock if I try the beast update zip and do everything over...
Anyone help with steps from leaked froyo to Cog 2.2? I have looked at their site, and Wiki for step by step...I am just dumb as hell I guess...
Thank you

I am sorry. I guess I was not clear. I did falsh to stock, now I am flashed to the Froyo leak. Wondering how to get Cog 2.2 beta on froyo. I really want lag fix for it.
If I was in your situation I would flash back to stock 2.1 with odin and then root and install clockwork and then flash 2.2BETAx
Here is how you do it.
Grab the Odin that flashes you back to STOCK firmware.
Flash it back to stock.
Download RyanZA's program and root the phone.
Install Clockwork.
Put the Cognition Zip on the SD card, and select it from Rom Manager/Clockwork.
Flash the phone.
Once you have Cognition 2.2 installed, then you can use the EXT2 lagfix in RyanZA's program.
Thank you SeriousBizznass
I have everything I need.
any body having problems with not been able to get back in to clockwork..?
i've done the steps multiple times even master cleared and started stock stock..but once im back at THE AWESOME rom from cognition 2.2 beta3 but when i reboot it said bad signature or something like that in red .....
I can't get 1.7 nor 2.2 to install properly....awesome.
1. you cannot go from 2.2 to another 2.2 without going to stock first (you at least need the kernel, so its easiest just to odin one click it). clockworkmod/rom manager DOES NOT WORK with 2.2. that is just the way it is for now.
2. it is always good to copy everything from your sdcard over to your computer for a backup and do a master clear or reset to factory format.
3. root it. there are one click methods, there are update.zip methods, and as mentioned you can just dl ryanZA's OCLF (DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT TO ADD THE LAGFIX, as it will all be overwritten anyway, dont waste your time)
4. install ROM MANAGER, open it, and click on FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY. select captivate
5. put cog.zip file on sdcard (NOT THE EXTERNAL SDCARD, the 13gb one that shows up on your PC)
6. reboot into recovery mode (use adb reboot download, or an app called quickboot, or use the rom manager and click on REBOOT RECOVERY MODE)
7. if green clockwork screen does not come up right away, and you are on a blue text screen, click on reinstall packages, it should boot into clockwork (sometimes this takes a second 'reinstall packages')
8. once in clockwork recovery, select install zip from sdcard, point it to your cog.zip file and bam!
9. profit
Omg...Pirateghost...THANK YOU! Right now it is installing Cog 2.2 beta...THANK YOU!!!
It worked, now I am running Cog 2.2 Beta! SWEET!
Thanks again pirateghost!
I just followed the guide for the current Cognition 2.2 Beta and it seemed to go successful. The Cognition wallpaper is there and everything, but I keep getting this error..and no cell signal.....I also noticed that when I go into reinstall packages and to choose the Cog zip, there are other old applicaition folders/files listed in there along with it. I did do a ODIN restore to factory...shouldnt these be gone and back to stock?
the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly
Can anybody help?

No Odin will not wipe everything. You need to Master Clear to get rid of anything left over from previous flashes. You need to do a factory reset and you should have signal, remove your SIM before resetting, just to be safe, backup any files you want to keep onto your pc because factory reset will wipe everything and you can't get it back. Power your phone on after you remove your SIM card and do the factory reset. If that dosen't work you may need to flash a modem to get back signal. Which version of Cognition are you running?

I'm terribly sorry to ask this, as it probably has been answered previously, but I've looked all over the internet on how to back up my Captivate, with no success. So I dreadfully ask, how do I back up my data so I can upgrade to JI6 afterward?
Thank you.

lol...just 5 mins back i was searching for the same thing and i rooted to cognition 2.2beta7........well u must be rooted....u can backup everything by titanum backup(go to backup/restore and there u can backup all/selected stuff)....also download rom manager and then click on flash clockwordmod......
Root your device.
Install ClockworkMod, then go into CWM and download the recovery ROM for your device.
Click back up current ROM.
Be aware, both of you, that CWM is currently unable to extract boot.img so if you upgrade from Eclair to the leaked Froyo, you will need Windows/Odin to restore your device. Make sure you have in your hand Odin AND the correct Captivate factory Eclair image before you attempt to upgrade to the leaked Froyo.

You will need Odin that you have to flash back to stock JF6. If you want to use your backup from Clockwork of your current setup you must be running 2.2 with the 2e kernel. Clockwork backs up your ROM not your kernel.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Sorry if this is a repeat, im very new to Android and a little confused on backups.
I rooted and then did this after downloading clockwork/rom manager:
How to Install ClockWork Recovery:
1. On the menu there should be an option labeled “FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.”
Press it.
2. Once a popup says that it has been succesful press “BACKUP CURRENT ROM”
3. Your phone will now restart and backup your ROM
4. If your phone does not start backing up and instead boots into a blue menu use the volume
keys to select reboot now and then press the power button. Try to do all the steps again.
5. Wait for it to finish and then it should restart.
Is this considered a Nandroid backup? Is there anything else I need to do as far as backups or is this the best method?
This will allow me to go back to my stock Rom at any point , is that correct?
Then I should use Titanium Backup for data/apps/settings?
I am on a Mac and I was able to follow the site instructions to flash from 2.1 to the Cognition v2.3b8 using CWM. I am very happy and very thankful with DG. Now I want to go to 3.04, there is a consensus in the site that I need to go back to stock.
1) Can I flash 3.04 and then Firebird 2 with CWM over 2.3b8?
2) If 1) is not possible, how I go back to stock when my phone came with the upgrade of eclair, not JH6?
Thank you in advance

Yes
You can flash from rom to rom although it is not recommended. I have personally done this many times (cog to precep and vise versa). I would however wipe data and cache (assuming you are using Rom Manager).
Thank you LarryLars. I do have rom manager, which data and cache are you referring to? I sync the phone with my gmail account and I use the the external sd card for data, meaning that in the sdcard of the phone I have programs and their preferences.
he means when you save the new rom to your SD card, and then you go to rom manager, and select the option to install a new rom, after you click that, there will be a box coming up that says backup, then it will say wipe cache and data.
So make sure you select the BACKUP otion to backup rom first, then go back and sleected wipe data and cache.
I have flashed about 5 roms using clockwork mod ( ROM MANAGER) And I didnt have any problems until I tryed to go from COGnition to stock. other then that everything is fine.
Just make sure your backed up.
Wipe data and cache are options presented to you in rom manager when you select a rom to flash. The additional option rom manager gives you is to backup your current rom, which is probably a good idea.
Thank you JJ133169 and wbcollins. My approach was to boot into CWM to do the change, and did not see the backup and wipe as a single step option.
I already did my backup with TiBu, later on the day I will flash the rom via Rom Manager, to do the upgrade without going back to original, and later add firebird 2.
I will report back on the results.
Thank you!!
Update - Update. Success!! Rom Manager did it nicely with the rom and CWM with the Kernel. Will test to see if I would need to update the modem or not.
Thank you all again!!

Since my last update. I flash the rom a couple of times with CWM too and I am still trying to find the best combination between the Cog rom, kernel and modem. Right now I removed firebird and I am using I897 kernel (Cog 3 Kernel) and modem (jj4). Seems I got my cappy back to the way I wanted to be when I updated my Cog 2.3b8 to Cog 3.04, still need to tested for the next 24 to 48 hours to be sure.

Hey all. I hope my experience trying to get ROM Manager and CWM working under AT&T's official FROYO 2.2 update will keep someone from throwing their Captivate against the wall.
Here is the sequence I used. I admit it is kinda convoluted, but it did finally work and I can get to the CWM boot menu. This assumes you follow the instructions associated with each individual step.
1. Blast the phone back to 2.1 with [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY
2. Run the Kies Mini update from Samsung/AT&T to get the Official FROYO build.
3. Only run Shell Root with [APP]SuperOneClick v1.7 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App)
4. Run the recovery 3e modified to work like recovery 2e - Updated 01/23/2011
(You know this worked if when you boot to Recovery mode you see a line that says, checksum confirmation need_checksum[0], shows up.)
5. Reboot!!!
6. Run the SuperOneClick v1.7 and choose Root then Enable Non-Market Apps. Use the psneuter radio button.
7. Reboot!!!
8. Delete any update.zip on the internal SD.
9. Go to the Market and install ROM Manager.
10. Run ROM Manager, let it d/l and install CWM. It should ask for SU permissions. If it doesn't you probably forgot to reboot.
11. Use ROM Manager to Reboot into Recovery.
12. Choose reinstall packages from the BLUE recovery menu. You will have to do this TWICE and then the GREEN CWM Recovery menu should appear.
Now you can use ROM Manager/CWM to do full backups which was the reason why I wanted to get it to work as I'm still leary about how well Titanium Backup works and coming from the IT world I love imaging.
UPDATE
OK I just installed [KERNEL] stock+Voodoo stable 5.x for Captivate and it worked fine. Bobapunk's steps should work fine but I haven't followed his steps.
UPDATE 2
Well it seemed to work fine, but it gave errors reading cache files and I could no longer install apps off the Market. Doing a Master Clear atm and will try Boba's order.
UPDATE 3
Seems to have been an error with partitioning. Back to 2.1, Kies to 2.2, Odin3 1.81 to PDA the Kernel, then repartition and format ALL partitions (had to do this to format BOOT). Then back to 2.1, Kies to 2.2, OneClick to root, Odin3 1.81 to PDA kernel. Now I can have fun getting rid of the bloatware and I might install plumbBob's GPS fix.
UPDATE 4
Everything is working fine now. Did [FIX] PlumbBob GPS Fix 1.0 [UPDATE 3/10/2011] and the GPS locks on in about 5 seconds in LBSTestMode, but Google Maps/Navigation still seems to lose lock often. Using Captivate SGS Tools and recommend it highly.
UPDATE 5
Works beautifully except for Messaging does an FC on boot. Doesn't seem to matter and I'm not a big texter and it does work afterward. One of the system apps I uninstalled with TB must be tied in to it. Not sure which one and my week at home is up. Disable media scanning in SGS Tools doesn't work, but Rescan Media ROOT (search the Market) does.
As Always Use At Your Own Risk!!!
I am glad that you got this figured out. I accomplished this a little differently.
I had AT&T 2.1 rooted
I upgraded to 2.2 via Kies
I rooted with Super One Click
I flashed Supercurio's Kb1+ Voodoo Kernel
I flashed CWM Recovery with ROM Manager
This worked fine on my 1009 build captivare. It seems simpler than your process and you get Voodoo along with CWM Recovery.
Well I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible. Next step will be to use TB to get rid of the AT&T bloatware. I haven't decided if I will use the Voodoo lagfix or not as it makes a radical filesystem change and some posts have warned about flashing new ROMS to it's FS and ending up with expensive paperweights.
BTW didn't you have to go back to the stock (i.e. unrooted) ROM to get Kies to perform the update?

I used Kies mini to upgrade to 2.2, then rooted, installed Rom Manager, and Titanium Backup, TB works well, but Rom Manager wont reboot in recovery and go to green...always stays in blue...error messages when I reinstall pkgs..so...reading your fix, if I was to be able to flash Supercurio Kb1+ Voodoo Kernel, should I be able to get to the green in Rom Manager?...what is CWM Recovery?...and what about that update file in my sd...delete?..or keep it?
Thanks in advance for any help....been 6 weeks now and cant get the green to happen in Rom Manager...so other than Tit. Bac. nothing else works...where to get the Supercurio Kb1?....and how to flash CWM?...thanks...any steps to install supercurio would be appreciated...thanks..

Thanks in advance
I've never flashed a rom before. I currently have stock froyo with the paragon kernel i flashed using the app sgs kernel flasher. I have clockwork mod rom manager, I created a backup of my current rom. So then I tried installing the serendipity rom from the sd card but i get an error message. I read on the sticky on how to flash a custom ROM you need to use ODIN and flash back to stock 2.1 then do a master wipe and re root it and stuff.
Their link to download ODIN is broken so I don't know how to get it. And is there really no other way to flash it besides doing a master wipe and using ODIN?
flash to stock and master clear is not needed. what IS needed are specifics on WHAT error message you get when trying to flash the rom you want
The error message is
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E: signature verification failed"
"Installation aborted"
Then it brings be to the blue menu so i just select reboot system now
bad download, re-download rom.
May be completely off, but it doesn't sound like you're actually in clockwork mod recovery, but rather stock recovery.
But here's the post with the one click odin with mirrors and I personally would suggest useing it since I generally like to stick to as clean a flash as I can:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Second, I don't know if you've ever seen MobileTechVids tutorial on how to flash custom roms, but I suggest you watch the full series first if you haven't already.
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsafJ-9uRqk
I watch the series and try and stick as close to the tut as I can when I'm unsure (or the one provided by the Rom maker as they know what's best for their rom)...
One suggestion, when flashing Serendipity disconnect your phone from cable right before the actual flashing (gave me a glitch in which I couldn't mount storage via usb). Other than that, read read read. I feel it's all I do when it comes to this stuff, but proper research is indispensible.

Ok I got the stock rom flashed back and rooted it using one click. Now for some reason I can't reboot into clockwork recovery mode. I flashed it successfully. So i click on reboot into recovery and nothing happens. I try clicking on install room from sd card and that doesnt work either
Power off, hold 3 buttons att screen will come on. Keep holding. Screen will go off. Keep holding. Screen comes on again let off the power button but keep the volumes held, this will boot you into stock recovery, since you said you flashed cwm already I'm assuming you mean with rom manager, so the update.zip should be on your sdcard, so just reinstall packages twice and you should boot into cwm.

On serendipities main "download" page they have instructions to install. In those instructions is a link to a file you can download. Place that file along with the serendipity 6.3.zip file in the root of your sd card. Use the " 3 button" technique or Rom managers "reboot to recovery" option to get into stock recovery. Hit "reinstall packages" once/possibly twice. That will put you into clockwork mod recovery. Select install zip from sd card, find the serendipity6.3.zip and click power to flash. Confirm. And after it does some stuff it will ask you to reboot. Upon reboot it will as if you want to enable lagfix. Hit plain "Yes". Watch it do its thing and viola...
You have the "dirty" way of how to flash serendipity... But first I please ask you to spend atleast a day reading this forum or others and understanding these instructions and the reasons behind them.
followed instructions off the website and still doesn't work
I was running 2.2 and have done a lot of reading a video watching (thanks Mobile Tech videos) and finally conjured the guts to flash serendipity.
I flashed stock using odin...that went great. Copied the update.zip to sd card. Installed zip twice in 2e recovery. Copied Serendipity.zip file to sd card. started in recovery mode, selected "install from sdcard" selected serendipity.zip file and it seemed to go through that process rather quickly. Then I selected reboot and then everything just started FCing all over the place. Can't even load the stock that I had on there. I don't know what to do. Help please. I can get it back into recovery mode. Tried doing the wipe data/factory reset. That did help either. Help please. I really want to try serendipity. Thanks again in advanced.
Did you run a restore using TiBu at all? Or was it just a straight flash from stock to Serendipity?
Plus, were you running a phone that came with 2.2 out of the box? Or did you upgrade to stock Froyo yourself?

I did run TB and I had originally flashed up to froyo (took me all night one night) and then went through the process I explained and hit the dead end. I finally was able to get odin to read the phone and flash back to stock. It was a learning process. I realized that I needed not only the Serendipity_6.3.zip file but ALSO the kitchen file to included with it. That wasn't in the directions I don't think. Finally got it all on there. I love it now. I appreciate everyone's help. Any word on a how-to for Bluedipity?
Hey guys, so I had MIUI since it came out and kept updating it every friday like I'm sure everyone else does that has it, but today I wanted to try out a Gingerbread ROM other than MIUI or CM7 so I went and tried to install Mosaic IV. I followed the tutorial on MobileTechVideos for installing it and when I got to the part where I had to install the zip from the sd card I did it and it got stuck at formatting partitions. So I waited a while, about ten minutes, then took out the battery and tried starting over from stock again. Then I realized that I was supposed to use a different kernel for Mosaic IV then the one Josh used in the video. So I downloaded that kernel and used that one instead of the one he used in the tutorial. And I couldn't get into recovery mode with it. So I flashed to stock again and redid the whole thing, this time I got into recovery and flashed it but it still got stuck at formatting partitions. So at this point I was like crap I have to get a different ROM. So I tried flashing Serendipity and that wouldn't install either. Then I tried MIUI again to at least get back to what I had earlier today, and I got an error while flashing the captivate-efsbackup zip in recovery. I have no idea what to do, all I want is to just get off of the stock firmware which im stuck with for now since I have to go to work in a little bit. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
I had a similar problem, and the ultimate fix for me was this:
Flash back to eclair stock (which you did)
Master Clear (aka format internal sd - make sure to back up your stuff first!)
Install CWM (may have to go manually - renaming to update.zip and reinstalling packages)
Wipe dalvik cache and cache partition, as well as user data
Install a stable Froyo ROM (take your pick, preferably a full-wipe with no bootloaders)
Reboot to CWM and do a second dalvik/cache/user data cleaning
(If you're going GB)
reboot to download mode
flash stock GB (WATCH OUT FOR BOOTLOADERS!)
boot it up, let it settle, reboot to CWM
flash your GB rom.
(If not)
Go where you would go from a stable Froyo Rom.
That's how I got back from a messed up phone with GB bootloaders to a working Mosaic installation. I can't say it will definitely work for you, but it may give you some ideas.
+1 get clockwork recovery...you need to make sure the rom you are flashing is compatible with the version of CWR you are using.
For example a rom that needs to be installed with CWR3 you will need to install the zip presumably from CWR2. Pull the battery and reboot back to recovery - you should now be in the updated version of CWR. Then for safety sake - re install your zip.
Reboot and you should be all set.
I had lots of trouble going from 2.2 to 2.3. Flashing between 2.3 roms is very easy comparatively

so your saying that you went to a gingerbread rom straight from MIUI? if that's true it failed because you didn't have the gingerbread bootloaders before you installed the rom

I flashed the gingerbread stock rom and have it rooted with xcal's kernel, but when i flashed mosaic IV it got stuck at formatting partitions and i pulled the battery after about 15 minutes and then restarted my phone to find it stuck in a bootloop. So i had to start from stock again and now im back to gingerbread stock with root. I'm kinda scared to try again because it takes me like 30 minutes to get back to gingerbread stock with root. I think ill just stick with stock for a little bit
