Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?

that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...
which odin one click?
Maybe he just did that...

So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

You using CWMR to restore the stock rom ? Or using the Abyss 4.2 Touch Kernel having Redpill recovery ?
well i dont exactly know the name but its the blue menu thing which you boot in
cwm based recovery version 5.0.2.7 it says

Here is the deal since you already started the restore in normal CWM recovery: Reboot your phone in recovery using the three button combo (volume up+power+home) keep pressing on them for more than 10 seconds..
You're either lucky and get to reboot back to recovery or your phone get bricked..
Though I think you'll boot back to recovery, seems like the first case of restoring backup when the first try restores the boot.img but when you reboot to recovery and try again the restore will go through this time because you already restores the kernel..
Wish yourself luck..
well i am in clockwork mod recovery v5.8.1.5 now what should i do now? recover using the backup i made ?

So the reboot worked! Good
Now try again to restore your backup you tried to restore earlier, it should restore normally this time..
heey yeah thanks man!!! it worked, i was so scared i would have bricked my device.
can you tell me what i did wrong? so i can prevent this mistake next time?
Don't attempt a restore on ICS repack kernels again. You were lucky this time

You did nothing wrong apart from restoring with the CWM recovery. Its based on leaked ICS kernels and hence we suggest to flash the Abyss 4.2 touch kernel with redpill recovery (which is a GB kernel) and rebooting recovery and doing all the restoring through that to bypass the shaky nature of the CWM recovery that comes in the ICS roms.
@Mat...thanks bro for pitching in the right time. Meeting is boring...so back here again lol
A friend of mine suggested that I try Cyanogenmod, so I decided to flash my Galaxy Mini. The first problem was the bootloop, and no matter how many times I wiped the phone, it was always stuck at the Android text. So I decided to try the Honeycomb mod. Same happened. So I decided to flash it with Android 2.3.6 from sammobile.com. At last, it started working. However, Google Play still sees every application as "installed" (but of course they aren't), and when I try to delete from GP, nothing happens. After trying to install other applications, I realized that I cannot install anything from the market. Any idea how I could solve this problem? I would be very grateful.

Yes I did. I used CWM 5.0.2.6. The funny part is that after being turned off 3 times, Google Play started working But if there's a solution to the bootloop problem I would love to hear it. I searched this forum and the internet and nothing, even though I followed a cyanogenmod wiki's guide.
did you wipe two times before and after flashing cyanogenmod rom
How old is your sd card? because same happened to me. I needed to format my sd card.

Anyway, tour problem is the CWM you used, didnt u see the DONT USE sign in the version 5.0.2.6 thread? 5.0.2.8 would avoided those errors in flashing custom ROMs

My SD card is as old as my phone, about 9 months old.
No, I didn't see the sign, and to be honest, I didn't even know that there was a 5.0.2.8 version. Do you think it would work with that?

So I downloaded the new recovery, flashed it via Odin, and now nothing works. When I enter recovery it says that it can't mount /cache/log and /cache/recovery (I think it says these two). I looked around and found that it could be stuck in a bootloop, but luckily Android loads. However, I can't root my phone due to several errors, so I can't install Cyanogen mod. I think I'll give up now But thanks for all the help!

This happens because you are in stock ROM, this errors are normal.If you want ONLY to root your phone you should use stock recovery. Otherwise you can proceed.

Thanks very much Here is what I did step by step:
I returned to the stock recovery by installing the stock firmware. I rooted the phone with stock recovery. Then I installed CWM recovery 5.2.0.8, but I still get the same error in CWM: it can't mount a few things. I still tried installing Cyanogen without wiping, and of course it's stuck at the boot screen with the Android text (I had a feeling that it wouldn't work if the recovery is not fully operational, so I did not want to lose every contact for nothing again). I read that this problem can be solved by formatting the SDCard, so I tried formatting it with PC and the phone also, but nothing. So now I'm back to the stock firmware and recovery with my phone rooted and no idea how to solve any of the problems.

Flasging CyanogenMod without wipes? Seriously? Thats exactly why it never worked!! CWM cant mount somethings because you were in stock ROM
Use some backup program to backup contacts, apps, whatever and flash cyanogenmod wiping data and cache before and after.

This was just a trial run due to the new CWM recovery. If you read back, I already wrote that I tried wiping both data and cache before and after flashing Cyanogen mod. This "mounting" problem only came up with the new CWM recovery, 5.2.0.8.
The basic Google Apps were all there, since I used a rom from sammobile.com, downloaded programs like poweramp were the ones that did not work.

And you tried wipes using 5.2.0.8 version? The mounting problem happened with me only in this recovery too, maybe because it is updated, different or whatever but I flashed and everything was good. Anyway, stay with stock, it seems better for you.

I have a BIG PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
I rooted my Dell Streak 7 from T-Mobile it has the sim card slot so I guess it's not the wifi only one. i installed rom manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.0 everything was working fine. Then I downloaded a rom an boot into recovery when i went to install zip from sd card i clicked on it and said no files found. Wherever I click says that. I dont know what t do anymore!!!!
Also, my friend sold it to me because it freezes a lot out of nowhere. I thought that maybe upgrading the firmware or installing a kernel could fix it but I cant even flash a rom. I have a optimus one and it never gives me any trouble.
I tried googling for answers and looked all over xda but couldn't find a solution.
Please help me!!!!! Thank you in advance!!!

LOL, you didn't need to flash CWR to upgrade to honeycomb. Just download the correct update.pkg and using the stock recovery, flash the package.

Look for links here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official and then fastboot the stock recovery. Once you have the stock recovery, you can install the HC Update.pkg.
I have a bigger problem now, the ds7 everytime i turn it on now it shows cwm recovery mode, i did a android backup and i restore it, reboot and still shows recovery after reboot. What do I do?

You may want to NVflash back to Froyo with this: http://d-h.st/iXc and then from that stock recovery install the HC Update.pkg. From there you can Fast boot CWM or TRWP.

I tried to go back to 2.2, but the orginal problem is still there (stuck in boot loop shows the dell logo and does nothing else) I know it isn't bricked can get into fastboot and nvflash. (it is a dell streak 7 4g (t-mobile)). I know there is something I am doing wrong I just haven't figured out what it is. Any advice would be great. This is a different device than the other dell streak I asked about earlier...

Keep in mind that the included recoveries in that tool kit are outdated and therefore won't be able of flashing KitKat ROMs. If you plan on using it, you must download the latest recovery you want to use yourself and replace it in the tool's sources.
