I have followed Tiger013 in development on how to go back to stock ROM.
I am having no luck, and searching. I have played with 2 ROMs, so far, but have had no success getting back to stock.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or possibly step by step on how to achieve this.
I am really wanting swype back, ha.
Thank you for replies.
you don't have recovery?
you didn't backup your system before flash it?

a few weeks back i got an update from t-mobile i think it was 2.2.1. i was running a custom rom by evil, I think it was sense. it never fully installed as it came up with a black scrren with a exclamation mark and a little android guy. every time i go into recovery now, i get the same thing. this also converted the phone back to stock rom.
im sorry, but i am a newbie when it comes to flashing new recovery images. do you think this is what needs to be done? i had clockworkmod's on there before, had a buddy do it for me.. and he didnt explain to me how to fix install it lol. i do install roms etc.
any way i should go with this?
You guessed right, you need to reflash the recovery, and possibly re-root before that.
You can follow the guides in Wiki, found in my signature.
did it, having a problem installing roms now :| gonna post in that roms thread.
Guys,
I really appreciate the wealth of good information here about the Captivate. I do have a quick, specific question I haven't seen answered but perhaps I missed so apologies in advance if I did.
I am on a rooted factory 2.1 phone right now and would like to flash a new ROM (undecided but will probably try a few). I have seen a few mentions that it is advisable (necessary?) to revert to stock before doing this and I am curious if it matters if I revert back to 2.1 or if I can 'revert' to 2.2 and would that be any advantage/disadvantage since it seems to be a temporary thing anyway.
I see both files on mobiletechvideo's site among other places. Would really love to know if there is any difference and if, in fact, I do need to do this step at all.
Thanks.

The only step you'd need to take is to backup your things, and to do a Master Clear. It shouldn't really matter too much actually, so if you can't be bothered, feel free to flash away!
Thanks, venomio.
To follow up, I ended up flashing to 2.1 but using a version that had the 3-button fix (for getting into recovery mode I believe, which my phone could not do). Everything worked pretty much flawlessly getting back to 2.1 and 3-button fix was successful.
Then I flashed to Cognition 4.2.2 and again, everything went perfectly.
So if anyone stumbles across this in their research, go for it.
I would like to ask for a stupid proof way to restore my NC to stock.
I NC and then installed CWM's rom manager. It is currently running CWM 4.1.0.0 and would like to uninstall it, take it off as to revert back to stock NC.
I have read several threads as to take off the CWM and am still not sure as to how to uninstall it.
If anyone could give me a walk through.....step by step. It would help me greatly.
I'm not stupid, but not always great with directions.
Thank you in advance.

Hi hopefully someone could maybe help me and point me in the right direction as im still very new to android and cant quite grasp what i need to do? and scared ill brick my shiney new phone!!
ok so i have put rowmow ics 4.0.3v1 on my phone but last night i wanted to try and put another rom on but every time i go into cwm it starts to install rom but will not pass setting permissions i am unsure as to what i need to do next
i have cf kernel 3.0.15-19220zclp1-cl131270
superuser and root checker says im rooted?
driving me mad as to what i have done or i am doing wrong
ive read different things here and there and some saying to flash to a kl3 but unsure what that is or if it even right ?
sorry 4 the noobish questions but i guess we have all had to start some where and this is me starting and hopefully soon grasp what i need to do?
many thanks 4 reading this and hopefully pointing me to what i need to do next!!
Looks like you do not have full root.
If you are Noob then you should read all the instructions properly otherwise you would brick your phone.
It is not a good idea to mess with ICS chinese leak, be careful.
i did read all instructions properly and as stated in op thread is was supposed to have full root
now your answer was not what i was really looking for some help or advice would be better rather than stating be careful!!
how can i rectify the problem to get full root back? so i can try different rom
i appreciate that you took time out to read my post but you was not very helpful
you need to provide more info..
if you're trying to go from a ICS rom to a GB ROM then you first need to flash a gingerbread kernel and then reboot recovery and flash the GB ROM from there.
its sorted i worked it out i was going to another ics rom i installed abys 3.9 installed new rom and flashed cf kernel and new rom working fine
probably an easier way to do it but that was the only way i could get past the permission problem

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
You just said "another ICS rom" and mentioned you are a noob, so with so much of unclear things I just wanted to let you know that something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526852 could happen.
anyway, I am glad you could sort it out.
cheers
About two years ago when I had my own S I9000 I was able to flash a rom no problems..
But now.. man I am just so lost in all the information.
I have completely forgotten how to flash. I've read several things here and there but none seem to point me into a guide that makes sense..
I just can't get the info I need to know how to flash.

This guide makes sense..
but I haven't got recovery..
I need to install the Clockwork Recovery mod but I have no idea.
TL;DR
can someone please provide a step by step guide on how to get a custom rom onto an I9000 device?
1. recovery
2. root
3. rom
right?
but how? please help me in the right direction.
