Hello Guys Hopefully somebody will be able to help me out. I have recently updated my Captivate to Froyo and re-rooted it with no issues. I have sense attempted to make a backup from cwm recovery and I am not able to get to it only just the stock recovery mode. I reinstalled cw recovery and that didn't work so I reinstalled rom manager and reinstalled cw recovery to no avail couldn't get into it. So i rolled back to 2.1 thinking it may be an issues with 2.2 even though I was sure how it was possible and im back to square one. I am still unable to get into cw recovery. yes the phone is fully rooted and i have also did a fix permissions and it completed sucessfully and tried to reinstall and it still doesnt work. Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks
You either have to switch kernel our flash back to stock then load a custom rom.
You should be able to swap kernels using
Sgs kernel flasher app from market, or odin. You would have to figure or which kernel you want to use

I need ROM to flash with Odin. Clockwork thing is not working for me and all the modded rom's are clockwork oriented. I am actually dying to install cynogen. Off late they stopped releasing odin versions. Somebody please suggest some rom better than the stock Froyo which is flashable using odin.
My phone is rooted and unlocked.

Exactly i am in leaked froyo ji6. I rooted it.
You have two options. Swap in a kernel that has 2e recovery or flash back to stock and then flash the rom of your choice.

What he said. I would use odin to flash stock

The version you are on had a recovery that prevents you from using clockwork

I installed the vzw boot strapper from the market which installed a different kernel. is it possible using the backup it made to restore the kernel I had before? there is just too much broken in this one so I woukd like to go back to the stock vzw + update so I can get bluetooth working again.
thanks.

*EDIT: I'm guessing no, since clockwork did the filesystem conversion? So I guess I need to return to stock
I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find an answer to this as it seems no one else has the issue. For starters this only happens when I don't have a custom kernel with cwm installed so maybe that's the problem but I want to clarify this for myself. When I'm in a stock froyo rom without cwm installed and go into recovery mode using the button combo I get into android recovery 2e. And once I'm.in that I can highlight different options but I can not select anything at all! Its as if the power button doesn't work at all. OK so fine lets pull battery out n reboot. When I try that, it boots back into recovery. Or if I do the button combo to go into download mode I can do that. But that's all I can get the phone to do. If I'm on stock gingerbread with 3e recovery and go into recovery I can select things at least but not in 2e. And the only way I can get cwm to replace android recovery is with a custom kernel installed. Cwm works fine. Any help or anything would be appreciated.
No one have any ideas?
?? Maybe Odin back to Eclair 2.1, then use Kies to update to the official Froyo 2.2
Idk, just suggesting that may fix whatever the issue is...

OK tried this but problem still exists. Any other suggestions?
Hey guys. So I found my old captivate last night and I decided to mod it finally. I started by trying to install the cwm recovery and I had froyo so I used odin 3 one click and it set me down to eclair at 2.1-update. Then from there I downloaded the update.zip and put it on my phone. Now here is where it messes up. I try to go into recovery mode using the 3 buttons and it keeps booting like normal. Then I try to at least go into download and that does the same thing. Okay so after those two fail I try using adb shell to reboot into recovery and that says that it can't find the adb. Any ideas of what I should do now? Oh and ROM Manager didn't work either. I couldn't find it on the market and it wouldn't let me install the apk. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
1. ROM manager doesn't work for cappy.
2. did you try to reflash with odin a second time?

Go here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912 and use the one click With Bootloaders to upgrade to Stock Android 2.3.5 Gingerberead i897ucKK4. That will fix ur button combo problems. Then use the Utility KK4 Easy Root by Red_81 to get Root and KK4 Corn Kernel that has CWM Recovery included so that u can flash ur Rom of choice. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26710533

Hi
I'm having a few problems with my trusty Galaxy S.
I tried to update to Cyanogen 10, got it installed through Clockwork mod no probs. I had a few problems with it , thought I'd try 9 as my friend gets on great with that.
It hasn't successfully flashed though. It's stuck in a loop where it enters Clockwork, then crashes back to the loading screen. I haven't done much of this for ages so guess I got careless and made an error somewhere.
I assume I need to flash through Odin now as I can still get to download mode, but not recovery. I don't know which kernel to get and use though? no idea what will work and don't want to brick my phone. I'd just like a working kernel that so I can put Cyanogen on again. Any advice is appreciated thanks.

Thanks that worked just fine. Nearly bricked the phone using someone's restore to stock guide. But now this kernel has installed fine.
Unfortunately I am trying to flash cm10, it installs fine, but it just loads back up into recovery mode, and wont boot properly.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get out of this CWM recovery boot-loop I'm stuck in?
The Semaphore Kernel is just stuck for me.
