It is captivate with cynogen 7 mod but if you don't know what it is I'm guessing you don't have it (not to be rude) . So just get the regular captivate cwm update.zip .. Hope this answered what you need to know.

Ya, once you flash another rom it will depending on the rom replace the one from rom manger. Do if you want to keep that cwm recovery just copy the "update.zip" file from the root of the sd card. If your not rooted let me know and I will post it for you.

Yah, I'm rooted and everything, but here's my latest issue. If i hit reinstall packages in the samsung recovery thing, i get E: (insert whatever error it is here). And I can't go back to stock with Odin3 because it never reads my phone in download mode on my laptop. Thanks again!

I'm trying to figure out how to upload the zip from my phone, but if you look for "3e recovery" with search you can get fix fit that.

It did come with FroYo and Odin will only register my phone when it's on, as soon as i go into download mode it ddoesn't register any more. Everybody says try the USB on the back of the computer but I'm kinda on a laptop lol.

Yah, I've tried that, but it will read my phone when on and will have the yellow 0[COM:4] (5 or something like that) and as soon as I turn off my phone to go into download mode it goes away, saying "removed", and the yellow box disappears and doesn't come back until I reboot into regular phone.

While it is plugged in turn it off and then try adb download
Ithink it is; "adb shell" then "su" then "reboot download"..... Hopefully that should help

Well close odin, then (just to make shore correct on getting to download mode) remove your simcard and battery and external sd card. Next open odin (with phone un plugged) next put in battery and hold down volume keys, and plug in to computer and see if that works, because odin has to be open before you go to download mode

i did try that and it seems like its trying so i dont believe its one of the models that dont have that button combo also some things i forgot to mention is i was using clockwork recovery, and do have the original rom backed up on my external sd and also have back ups of verything titanium will back up if that helps narrow down a solution

Nope, not a brick. You probably have a working button combination, but the recovery simply isn't there. You need to boot into download mode and flash a kernel.

thanks that fixed it. my phone is now awesome.

Is my Nexus completely dead?

Long post but can't really shorten it.
32GB wifi Nexus, rooted and was running Liquid Smooth ROM and Motley kernel, went to update the ROM to rc9 version ,anytime I updated previously I never done full wipe unless using different ROM, anyway flashed the ROM and the gaaps with it and rebooted, immediately and prompted to me to use either apex or Holo HD I choose Holo HD got error saying system ui not responding, tried apex and got the same.
I was on the main screen but couldn't access it, yet I could pull down and enter into settings, everything else looked to be ok, so rebooted back to recovery and tried fixing permission, rebooted and got the same so I though I'll be just restore my nandroid backup, to my astonishment all the data had been wiped, I didn't do a wipe at all so I'm baffled how this happened.
Anyway I done a factory reset and rebooted and went through the setup, got the same system ui not responding, went to settings which could still access, apps and un installed both Apex and Holo HD noticed that Liquid Smooth rc9 had installed but instead of showing the cm kernel it still showed motley kernel.
Back to recovery, factory reset twice, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, went through set up process, same system ui error again, went to settings, erased all data, tablet rebooted, set up process same again, system ui, so I'm getting worried so back to recovery and this time I selected format system, data and sd, card and now I think I've completely fuc#ed it up as it just hangs at the Google screen and has stayed like that for over 30 minutes.
Previously asides from the occasional force close issue in the 2 months I've had the Nexus not really had a problem with it and whilst I'm no developer or techy geek I'm certainly no noob when it comes to this type of thing but I'm very concerned now and hoping someone can be of assistance as I sold laptop and primary just use my Nexus (and Galaxy S3)
Thanks

Strange.. But I didn't understand well, after wiping /system, did you flash the ROM back ?
I think you should flash 4.2.1 factory image using toolkit or whatever, then root etc..again

No all the data had been wiped this is what is baffling me, I didn't do a factory reset I just flashed the ROM and gaaps, as I said initially it was the system ui error I was getting but I think I've fucjed it up by formatting the system, data and sd card as all I can see now is the Google screen at boot, I can still get into clock work mod recovery but I've exhausted all avenues as it were, is there any hope I can get it back working again?

Yes ! Really easy to use. You'll just have to put the tab into fastboot mode give it a try I'm pretty sure it will solve everything and you'll start back with good bases as it is full stock !

Cheers but I don't see anything in clockwork mod recovery for fastboot mode, I'll go to an Internet cafe tomorrow and do it if I could just get specific instructions.
Thanks again folks for your assistance

First Download and install the fastboot drivers...Download the stock Image here:-
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
then hold volume-(Down) Button and while holding the Button power on the device..it will take you into the bootloader. Now conne4ct the nexus to your PC...Now extract the file you downloaded (the Stock image)..keep extracting the files till you get the system.img file.Use fastboot to flash that(the command):
fastboot flash system system.img

Boot into fast boot, push a stock image. Ta da. Easy stuff. The basics.

Bricked or not

i found my year old galaxy mini s5570 a few weeks ago..it was running the good old froyo 2.2.1...i rooted it and updated it to 2.3.6 and rooted it again...after the update my computer started giving me error "USB Device not recognised" whenever i connected my phone. I tried booting it in download mode and recovery but the computer says the same error. My device is unable to get into recovery but download mode is accessible....i have tried the usb fix which involves a gentle lifting of the toungue of the micro-usb port........i was trying again and again to reach recovery and suddenly i was able to access it (Stock recovery).i did a wipe data and a wipe cache and since then my phone is stuck at the screen where it says "Samsung" and underneath it "www.samsungmobile.com"....thats all i seei cant get past it and now again i am unable to access the recovery.....IS IT BRICKED AND WHAT IS THE SOLUTION..
SORRY FOR SUCH A HUGE POST BUT I THOUGHT DESCRIBING ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED MIGHT HELP......
i have the proper device drivers and the cable is also fine (Tried switching cables and it did not help).

Windows 8? And as long as you have download mode try reflashing stock GB and avoid windows 8 with flashing.

[Q] Possibly Unbrickable - UNBRICKED! (Solved)

[Q] Possibly Unbrickable
I just recently rooted my LG Thrill 4G with ICS 4.0.4.
When I was trying to install Clockwork Mode Recovery I used a program that had two options. (Looking for the program name now.)
It had "Install" and "Recovery Install" The recovery install was for another phone I believe. I accidentally clicked the latter. Now I start my phone
and I see the LG logo for 1 second before reboot. It's not even enough time to get to adb etc. Is there anything I can do to unbrick it? A hardware unbrick or do I have to send it away and get a new phone?
Thanks.
I believe I was using LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher when it happened if that's of any help.

Ok so I installed the OMAP driver amd started start_fastboot.bat
With holding down the VOL+ Windows makes the sound of a device connecting and doesn't do the disconnecting sound.
Which is good. Without holding the VOL+ it plays the connecting and then 3 low beeps (Unrecognized Device).
But here's the thing. I can't find the OMAP drive in the device manager when I hold VOL+. And the program says it's
waiting for the OMAP device. Any ideas from here?
Here's my problem.
When I start my phone I see the LG Logo for 1 second before it shuts down. I can't access the factory reset or download mode.
My computer doesn't have enough time to connect to the waiting for OMAP device on the fastboot program.
Thanks for your help. It's been very quiet in here.

OMG!
OMG I fixed it! WIth your help!
Though I didn't use the guide, it did provide me with the key piece of information I needed!
Here's how I did it:
1. Install OMAP Drivers.
2. Hold down the VOL+ button and plug in the USB. The OMAP driver doesn't need to appear in the device manager. Just the COM Port.
3. Let the LG Mobile Support tool reinstall the firmware.
And that's it!
Thanks a million! :laugh:
Now just to be sure I need to test my phone calls etc!

You're welcome
