Hey everyone, I've searched and searched for a stock 2.1 rom for my captivate. Everything says to just use ODIN. Well, I have a mac, so that's not an option. Can someone please please point me to a download to a stock 2.1 rom that I can flash from Rom manager? I'd be VERY appreciative of it.
Thanks!
Search heimdall it us not as user friendly as odin, but if you get it working it will flash stock

I am not certain that you should of been trying to reparation. Flashing stock does not require this as far as I was informed by the dev who created heimdall

Odin one click does not fail. It is more likely user error.

im thinking odin 3 will work if i have the right kernel and stock rom
I have read that Odin fails for some trying to flash stock from CM7, maybe has to do with the drivers and the fact CM7 doesn't use Samsung code. Use Heimdall to flash back.
Also as someone has posted you need Gapps in order to use any of the Google apps. It's in the OP for the CM7 installation instructions. I think you can install Gapps through ROM Manager, I don’t use CM7 myself so I am not 100% sure about how you install Gapps.

At the bottom of the odin one click op there is 2 stock firmware packages. Try either of those...
They include rom and kernel.
And since you're on cm7 you might have to install google drivers.

k so my phone i9000m was recently running a mod version of gingerbread which made it a i9000. I wanted to get the real version which is out for bell. anyway long story short stuck in download mode and need a file to plug into odin and have my phone working running any bell issued firmware.

If you want to go to the stock, go to the thread by ramad mentionned above and flash UGKG3, it's the latest and greatest stock bell firmware, as well as being rooted and deodexed. I'm running it now, works great.

Ok ill take a look at that too. How long have you been running that on your phone? Will I be able to update my phone in the future via kies if I wanted to?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can update using kies, it's detected and read by the kies client. I've been running it for a few weeks, never a single problem. It has busybox 1.19 installed in the bin folder, but you can just install an older one to sbin or xbin if you really need to. I really recommend it, I had a lot of trouble trying to root the stock 2.2.3 on my own.

Even if you follow the threads linked above, you arent going to get very far with ROM Manager. they havent supported the captivate since it was on 2.1 eclair I believe. Learn to use ODIN.

-_- OMG I tried to be nice. You don't ODIN CWM. You ODIN a kernel that contains CWM injected into the kernel itself. I recommend CORN kernel and KK4 custom or stock ROM

Hey guys, my friend has a i900 running 2.2.1 froyo. He hates how it is always freezing and wants me to root it and put CM9 on it. I swapped sim cards with him and did a nandroid on mine so i can restore after. So i have his phone
I was wondering is the process to get Cm9 running is the same as coming from gingerbread.(thats what my phone came with 2.3.4)
On mine i:
Flashed CF root with ODIN,
Booted into recovery and flashes Cm9 and an approprite kernel.
Just wondering if i can follow the same procedure as before. Help is appreciated, i dont want to mess this up.
Thanks.
Just upgrade to gingerbread using Odin...root with appropriate kernel using Odin...flash latest cm9 nightly in cwm...check out slim 4.1 as well.

Whats the point in going to gingerbread if i am going to ics?
All i need is recovery mode anyway.
Just wondering

I don't believe you can go to Cm9 from froyo...you maybe right but all the info you need is in the links I provided. I'm sure you'll find you're answer in the cm9 thread.
I gave it a quick look and it doesn't mention gingerbread. But if it were me I would since it might be more difficult to dig up a kernel for froyo

I don't actually need the kernel to boot though. I just a recovery to flash the Rom. Would that work?

You need gb bootloader to get onto cm9, as far as I'm aware, hence the need

I see you have an i9000m and on Virgin - franchisee of Bell.
Follow these instructions
[HOWTO] Flashing CWRecovery to i9000m & upgrade to ICS AOSP 4.x ROM from any version
Branch off to whatever ICS rom you want.
You'll definitely need to be using the cm7-kg3 modem for any ICS rom going forward. That means after every new ROM flash you'll have to flash the KG3 modem. Once you are upgrading within a ROM, you won't have to re-flash the modem each time.
If you use a firmware from the first link I gave you there are firmware. with bootloaders.
The links contain everything you need...firmware....kernel to get cwm....Cm9....and radio zip
×Slim Rom×
Thanks guys, im going for it pretty soon here. You guys are awesome.
For the first time in my life, kies just connected to a phone. I cant handle it. I think im gonna pass out in disbelieve.
Anyway... lol.
Can i just update to gingerbread kg3 from kies?
Yes, but you may have a difficult time finding a kernel with cwm for kg3.
×Slim Rom×
and now i cant get into recovery mode. Just download mode. I downloaded the stock firmware from samfirmware, and was gonna flash it with odin, but which file to i put it under? Its just a single tar ball
EDIT: For some reason i have to use power volume up AND down and home. Wierd.
I always use firmware from the link I gave you...just flash jw5 from link with 512 pit....then root with semaphore 2.7.4.tar from second link....easy.
×Slim Rom×
I will try that now. Cause im bootlooping with CF root.
After that you can flash cm9 in cwm...additionally slim 4.1...then slim common....then the Kg3 modem zip in cwm as well.

Hi. Im pretty new to all this and was just looking for some guidance. I got the Captivate about under 2 years ago and have never updated it? I tried to using Kies but it never worked. Always said that the device wasnt recognised or something. So my question is, what is the latest stock firmware for the Captivate and how can i flash it?
Thanks!
latest official supported version is 2.3.5, KK4 -gingerbread.
you can find links to stock roms and tools for flashing in the stickies at the top in the captivate android development forum.
