I just bought a captivate. I rooted and unlocked it ( now t- mobile) . When I go to rom manager to make a recovery it doesn't recognize my device. Only gives option for i9000, epic, fascinate. What do I need to do to make a backup/ recovery?

Unfortunately there isn't an official clockworkmod recovery for the captivate. You'll need to either flash a kernel with cwm already embedded, or manually load up cwm on your SD card. What stock ROM are you on atm?

Sorry you sorta wrong on some things. There isn't official CWM for GB or Froyo. But there is for Eclair. Sounds like he is on GB at the moment. You are correct about having to flash a kernel with CWM in it.
I stand corrected...but yes unless your still on eclair or restore back to eclair, there isn't an official cwm

Yea, I am on GB 2.3.5 baseband UCKK4. I also have a vibrant.I am really surprised at how different the two phones are. I would like to put a custom rom on the cappy. What rom would you suggest? Kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Suggesting ROMs ins't allow because you will most likely get arguing. Flash Corn Kernel and try out some custom stock ROMs if you don't know what you're doing. If you have an idea. I suggest ANY of the ICS ROMs
I would like a stable ICS rom. PM me with any suggestions.

vcremoveboot is the revert zip for voltage control, in case you have unstable settings applied at boot.

I definately dont wanna stay on stock touchwiz cause i dont like the interface. What do you think about the 4.0.4 roms? Does all the hardware work or is it in alpha/beta? What about ICS Kernels? Should i flash ICS or flash a Gingerbread rom (CM7, etc)? Sorry about all the questions but there are so many roms/kernels that I just have no clue which one to use.
You could try latest CM9 nightly with Semaphore 1.2.2 or latest mnics or Devil kernel.
After 3 or 4 circle battery charges I'd think it will offer to you good performance and good battery life, but I'm supposing it.
Try them and after that tell us about
I hope it helps you!
I m using ics333 no bugs, good ram management, good battery life my first rom after buying galaxy S

Flash the ROM with.pit, let it reboot then boot back to download, flash the root kernel, let it reboot and you are on rooted ROM, copy nightly, base, essentials and gapps to sd card, then follow instructions for flashing sequence, after, if you want semaphore download and flash that, make sure you use the s version as slim has the large ram patch

Cwm recovery is cwm in recovery mode..

yes, u can use LRK for ur LR1..
Notecore had been erase emmc bug n had been patched..
CF just stock kernel which has given root access..
Notecore V.10.2 is recommended choice..

By flashing a safe kernel like Goku, Speedmod or Notecore for your stock TW ICS you'll get a safe cwm...it is up to you which one you prefer, just try them out...
As I know Speedmod is very stable (no oc/uv but battery friendly), Goku is undervolted/not oc'ed (don't know the voltage table) with a 100MHz frequency, but it makes no sence 'cause 100MHz use the same voltage as 200MHz...and finally there is Notecore with an eye more on performance than battery life (but it is good as well regarding battery)...if you decide for Notecore, flash the STD-version first (not every Note can handle the oc'ed version).
To switch from TW ROM to CM9/CM10 it is recommended to go back to GB via PC Odin to do a fullwipe from there to safely switch over to CM9/CM10. Other's only flash Abyss (a GB-kernel) without going back to GB to do the full wipe, but I read something about that there COULD be some problems at the end...you'd NEVER flash CM9/CM10 directly from TW ICS stock or custom ROM!!!
Ok, so happy flashing for you :laugh:
thanks for your rich info advices bro, a few questions.
1. custom kernel will render from official ota updates?
2. will mess up my current app, data? like notecore will reverse sd n ext sd
3. needs to restore backup after flashing?

1.-> I don't think that OTA is possible for rooted devices, but via Kies (yes, this buggy software) you'll get official updates if rooted I've read...I always flash my FW via Mobile Odin. You can get the stock FW's on sammobile f.e.!
2.-> No, Notecore overwrites only the stock kernel...your apps'n'data should be safe! The built-in CWM of Notecore kernel shows the correct paths for internal and external sd!
3.-> Before flashing anything you'd allways backup your apps with TB f.e.! And before flashing the kernel, you'd wipe cache/dalvik cache (not DATA!) or use the jbroid kernel cleaning script (this wipes cache, dalvik and fragments of old kernel for a clean flash)! After a kernel flash there is no need for a restore backup if all went as it should.
When on Speedmod, Goku or Notecore you can also do a nandroid backup before flashing any other kernel (I allways do).
And just to clear things before you'll try to flash...You have a rooted device already???
ok thank you :thumbup:that clears my doubts, yes im already rooted with mobile odin but no cwm injected well m ready to try out..

Okay, here we go...:fingers-crossed:
If you stick with Notecore ( I think so, 'cause this kernel is amazing), you have to flash often 'cause Gavin (g.lewarne) allways is cooking a new creation of his outstanding kernel.:laugh:

Second question......Do I need to go back to stock gingerbread before flashing 4.0.4 - ICS - AoCP CP 2.1 - The Collective or can I flash over top after wiping davlik and cache , partitions???
Im running Mosiac XI now
U should be able to just follow the install instructions in the OP of the ICS 4.0.4 AoCP CP 2.1 Rom and be good to go. (This is an excellent ICS Rom by the Collective, btw.)
...U could flash back to Stock KK4 if u want the i897 GB Bootloaders...since u may have i9000 GB Bootloaders being on Mosaic IX ?? Up to u though.

Not sure why u got that error. No one has reported that in the AoCP CP 2.1 ICS 4.0.4 thread.
From reading around, it has something to do with the updater script etc.
Anyway, i suggest u do two things. Get into the cwm recovery u have now and then mount usb and copy a fresh download of the Rom to ur phone. Then copy this kernel.zip that is just the kernel from CP 2.1 release...posted here--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30523384 . Install that kernel through ur current cwm 1st. Then reboot to that cwm recovery and flash the rom again. Be sure to do the wipes etc. that r posted in that Roms OP.
And be sure to eject ur phone from the pc the correct way...see this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29998391.
edit: search "status 7 error" in the Search This Forum tab of this Q & A Forum...search Show Posts. There u will find a lot of helpful info.

Ok, downloaded the new kernel and redid the wipes and flashed the rom again , then reflashed just for good measure. Rebooted and it went right back to revovery and does every time I rebooted. Tried flashing back to Mosaic but that flash failed Staus 0 message. So after playing with it a while I decided to flash another Rom. Again , did all the wipes and flashed HellyBean ....Rebooted right back to recovery again , I'm at a loss...Anyone??? And yes I thought about using odin and going back to stock but Odin won't recognize my phone...Windows does , ADB does but not Odin
When initially going to an ICS Rom from a Stock Rom u will have to flash it twice. First from the cwm that u had from where u started and then second from the next cwm recovery that loads. ---- So when the recovery boots back, just select to install the Rom again. ---- It should load the Rom on that second install.

You could flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 for both root and cwm
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Hey martin.y,
If u r just wanting to flash a Developer's Rom in the end...then just use TRussello's guide in the Q & A Forum. It is a stickied thread. Or simply do as BWolf56 stated above---Flash the KK4 Corn Kernel (.tar file version) through Odin3 v1.85 or similar (the kernel.tar goes in the PDA slot). Of course u should know that u r flashing that kernel from Download mode. Takes less than a couple minutes for the whole process. Reboot into the CWM Recovery that is included in the Corn Kernel and select to install ur Rom of choice that u should already have copied onto ur phone's internal sdcard. And prest-o change-o ! New Rom.
Or as BWolf56 stated above also, u can simply get Root through the CWM advanced menu options of the Corn Kernel. :good:
