two things:
1) there isn't a CWM available for GB yet
2) do you *really* think development was the place to post this? as it is a question and we have a section labeled "questions and answers"

Wasnt sure as there isn't a q&a for gb, but was directly rom related. I have no problem with mods moving. I actually wish they would help decide this for future posters.

Thanks for quick response.

i think its totally funny seeing smartass replies from supposed "senior" members. there no reason for it at all. i'm pretty sure some people just have really, really low self esteem and not many friends. Mommy doesn't count either. if you ever need any advice man just pm me and you won't have to deal with the bs. XDA is all about helping. thats exactly the point of it. good luck.

I appreciate that. I may end up doing that before I finally up on a GB rom.
I'm not upset about ^^. I understand his pov. I just ask he understands mine. It's kind of a grey area until a Q&A sticky is made for GB, or we start having roms appear in dev. However he did answer my question, to which I expressed my thanks, as I do to you.

Trusselo, how much stuff are you going to put in your sig? If your sig gets any bigger, xda may cut you off.

Try the new Continuim 5. It comes with CWM installed. So far it is my favorite.

Please, do not suggest a beta 2.3 to someone new - It's too easy to screw up on the way and brick your phone.

He was asking about GB ROM. We all flash at our own risk. I thought it was easier to flash Continum than when I first tried CM7. Thank goodness I bought a JIG. I have to admit that since I have the GB bootloaders now, I am slightly nervous to one click back to stock.

1)Not that new, just asking questions.
2) I've already flashed JVB, Juwe's, and finally C5 (b1,b2 and b3).
3) I, as do everyone else here, appreciate your help. However, please don't assume you know someones ability level, without asking. I realise I am not able to develop a rom our kernel. But I have read and experienced enough through this website to know that 20 questions before is better then "oh crap I bricked my phone now what".

Just pick a rom, flash it, then repeat until you like it. Nobody is going to be able to tell you what you like. That's up to you to decide.

It's unbelievable or maybe I'm not the norm... I actually read the sticked even before I got my SGS making sure I understand the process of rooting.

HELP ME!!!!

I just bought my Samsung Captivate about 3 weeks ago and my friend updated it to froyo 2.2. Loved it nothing wrong with it untill last night. I pressed the unlock button on the side and when i went to slide it to unlock it it would not work. I took the battery out and tried again and it did nothing. I looked it up and i think my best bet is too download odin3 and restore it to stock. I absolutely no nothing about phones. Please help me! I need my phone to help tune my truck.
Thanks, Abel
This goes in the Q & A section, not android development. And to answer your question thoroughly more information is needed about what your running.
Oh Boy where does one begin.........
Sorry. I am new to this. But as far as i know it is a samsung captivate. lol. But now all it does is go to the "AT&T screen and it says world phone" and does nothing else.

If its just stuck in a boot loop then you def need to flash back to stock. Check out this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Bad thing is i have mac ( and its pissing me off becaus i cant use it. I am going to have to wait for tonight i guess.
Wait, you use a Mac, you know nothing about phones, and you let someone else update your phone to a totally unsupported operating system? I'm not sure if you realize this, but in doing that, you just let your friend void your warranty.
Friend, here is how forums work: you spend 99% of your time reading and if you don't understand something then you ask. As silverslotcar so kindly pointed out, you should start by reading this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and all of the other stickies in this Captivate Android Development forum. THEN you let your friend mod your phone so at least you have some idea of what is going on.
Good luck reading the forums!

If you're only wanting to go to Android 2.2 (Froyo), your only option in that thread is AdamOutler's UCKB2 Froyo 2.2 Heimdall One-click.
(By the way, if you're wanting to learn what these terms mean, look at the XDA and Android Terms and Acronyms post in my signature. It should help to give you an idea of what all this stuff means.)

There is no such thing... only root and no root. This is because Heimdall requires one flash without BLs then you can reflash with BLs, no reason to have two different ones...

hye,im just flashing my tab yesterday with overcome rom.then i started with odin after it finished odin shows FAILED! then my phone turned off automatically leave the screen blanked.now i can't do anything to the phone even if want to enter the downloading mode.there is nothing i can do and just leave the screen blank.is there any help for me?i'm seriously pissed off.please help me.
sorry but 50 viewers and still no help?
Did you do a backup beforehand? If so, restore it. If not, i would get another Rom and try again.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA Premium App
no i didnt have any backup.what do u mean by getting another rom?im stuck with the blank screen and can't do nothing now.
Try shuttig it off, charging the battery, put in download mode (even if you only see a black screen some people have reported they can flash) and install your stock or another rom. If this doesn't work, you're screwed...
If you didn't check and see if you had locked bootloaders then this may have caused the fail in ODIN...

There is plenty of help if you look for it. People tend to get sick of repeating themselves so its best to read the topics that have already been created on this exact issue.
Using search function and searching topic titles for "bricked" will give you plenty of help.

That is the problem. You want to do things that you don't fully understand. Anytime you try to flash something there is a chance it will brick a device, no matter how many others haven't had that problem.
Read up on it and if you feel comfortable then do it.

How about this... since you seem to be unable to read and search and learn for yourself, just box up your phone, send it to someone like Gotroot, Koush, or any of the other devs and ask them to do it for you...
OR.... you could bop over to the development section and freaking READ FOR YOURSELF and find out what is available.....
