uh oh....trying to put in a rom

Ive been flashing roms for some time, though this is my first attempt on the captivate.
Followed the instructions np.
Using rom manager backed up my stock rom.
made sure it saved to sd.
used titanium made sure all apps were backed up.
downloaded cogs newest version.
opened rom manager selected flash for captivate.
turned phone off.
rebooted into rom manager
wiped phone via directions.
selected cog via sd card
now Ive been sitting at the installing update window for roughly 20 minutes without the progress bar moving at all...
any advice?
I did just do a battery pull and it seems that im back to att stock. No rom.

ive just tried running it again and I just sit at installing update...
I did have ryan zas oclf on prior and I dont know if I removed. however since Im back to stock now shouldnt it be gone?
Wouldnt be able to prevent it now would it?

Been there done that
Usb debugging, enable it
Simple mistake man, no big deal
From a phone

Well turning on usb debug wasnt it but i did reinstall oclf and it shows its still active batteries just to low to remow waiting...

Ok any othet ideas? Oclf says its not inthe one running its a different one. Guess ill try to reflash agafin and install anyone else got an idea?

Finding
opening
installing
then it just sits forever
anyone?

Try to download the file again, it may have been corrupted during download
Edit...not clear are you booting into recovery, selecting the rom zip file, etc or actually rebooting phone and going into rom manager?
You need to boot into recovery and select the zip there if you are not doing it that way

Correct im in recovery and selecting it.

Download the stock ODIN 1 click and flash that then re-root and install ROM manager and then flash COG

sadly ive done this also.
used odin one click last night went back to stock then rooted again and tried and it still just sat at the installing line for an hour.
something is not working and I cannot figure it out.

1. make sure you move the zip (as you downloaded it, don't unzip) to the root of your sdcard.
2. open rom manager, flash CWM if you haven't already.
3. using rom manager, backup your current stuff under a name you'll recognize
4. turn off phone. boot into recovery
5. if it shows the 2e or 3e recovery, choose the 2nd option: "install update.zip", this should open up CWM recovery
6. from CWM recovery, go down to "install zip from sdcard"
7. then: "choose zip from sdcard"
8. then you select the zip that you moved to your sdcard in STEP 1.
that should do it.

every step done. Even a odin flash to stock prior. Locks up every time at installing update, it will sit there all night.

Thought I was reading on Cog's latest build a few people having issues installing using the latest ROM Manager and CWM.
I think this is the older version of the update.zip and maybe it will install Cog.
Also you can bypass the whole rooting/dowloading ROM Manager prior to flashing if you use this update.zip.
Odin 1-Click back to stock.
Put in the update.zip to your SDCard
Reboot into recovery.
Run the update.zip under recovery.
It will do a short reboot back to the screen.
Run it once more and you should be in Clockwork Recovery advanced menu.
Attempt to install the Cog.zip again and see if it works.
Unfort I'm running Assonance's latest build and didn't run into any issues.

Going to try it in a bit.

Check out the wiki thread for adam's Axura ROM. The process should be the same, just use the ROM of your choice. I'd try another download/different ROM, there may be an issue with your download, or a bug in the ROM possibly?

I screwed up before by forgetting to move the zip to the root of my sdcard. I don't quite understand why this is necessary, but I can confirm that it is.

Two suggestions - not sure if you've already attempted these.
1. Have you tried flashing an older version of Cognition? Possible that there is just something silly about your setup that is preventing you from flashing this specific version.
2. Along the same lines, have you tried flashing to Cognition using one of the Odin flashable ROMs? I'm personally a bit mystified by these, but I'm just a wimpy Mac user.
Older versions of Cognition here.

The version of CWM rom manager downloads should be okay. A master clear and stock fhlash should help

[I9020T][ROM][STOCK]Nexus S Android 2.3, Build GRH55 Factory Firmware

Please read this post in its entirety before downloading and flashing.
THIS IS FOR I9020T ONLY! IF YOU DECIDE TO GET BRAVE AND TRY THIS ON AN I9020A, I9023 OR D720, MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO ANY PHONE BY USING THIS ROM.
YOU MUST FLASH THIS ROM USING CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY. THIS WILL NOT FLASH USING THE STOCK ANDROID 3E RECOVERY AS THE ZIP FILE IS NOT SIGNED. I HAVE NOT TESTED IT ON OTHER RECOVERIES.
This is probably more for posterity now than anything else, however I have created a CWM-flashable full on ROM for the original Nexus S Gingerbread firmware, version 2.3, build GRH55. This is built exactly the same way that the full OTA ROM packages for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 were built.
Some notes:
1. Since GRH55 did not include the script that automatically overwrites alternate recovery images with the stock one (this was introduced in GRH78/2.3.1), flashing this ZIP will flash the stock Android 3e recovery that came with GRH55. This means that ClockworkMod Recovery will go away after flashing this ZIP and you will need to re-flash it manually if you want it back.
2. Flashing this ZIP will overwrite your bootloader and radio, restoring them to I9020XXJK1 and I9020XXJK8 respectively. These are the versions that came stock with GRH55.
3. GRH55 is receiving OTA updates. As of this writing, the latest version of Android is 2.3.4, and Google is pushing an OTA update for 2.3 to 2.3.4.
4. This ZIP will NOT clear your user data or cache. For users running a stock ROM, I would highly suggest clearing your data and cache manually as sometimes downgrading without clearing data and cache can cause problems. If you are coming from a non-stock ROM, you are required to clear your data and cache or the ROM will not boot.
5. The market app works just fine but does not update to the current style and look. The market app that comes with GRH55 is version 2.12, which is the look that's now 2 generations old. For whatever reason, Google no longer allows version 2.12 to update to newer versions. That said, if you install a later version of the Android Market (3.0.27 as of this writing) manually, it will update to future versions automatically.
6. Since writing NFC tags wasn't introduced until GRI40/2.3.3, the Tags app is read-only.
7. There is no video chatting through Google Talk. This feature was not introduced until GRJ22/2.3.4.
Instructions:
1. Download the Stock GRH55 ROM package here.
2. Copy it to the root of your USB storage.
3. Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (or flash it).
4. Select "Install ZIP From SD Card"
5. Select "Choose ZIP"
6. Find the ZIP file and select it.
7. Wait for it to finish.
8. Wipe data and cache (optional but HIGHLY recommended for stock ROM users and REQUIRED for non-stock ROM users)
9. Reboot and have fun.

Reserved...just in case.

You can install a later market version manually, but if you do, you'll have to re-install it every time you reboot as the market updater will remove it and restore it back to 2.12. For whatever reason, Google forces GRH55 to stay with 2.12. You may be able to root the ROM and then upload a newer version into /system/app and overwrite 2.12 entirely, but do so at your own risk. If you want the latest version of the market (2.3.6 as of this writing), you can get it here.

NEWBIE HERE. Just to be clear, my phone has to be rooted to do this, right?

Not necessarily. You just need to have ClockworkMod recovery installed. That is independent from having root.

Isn't that related to ROM Manager? ROM Manager is saying my phone has to be rooted to use it.

Again, it can be. Or you can unlock your bootloader (you can find threads on how to do that, it's very simple) and then flash clockworkmod manually. Basically, you need ClockworkMod in order to root, but the two are not synonymous.

Problem. Unlocking the bootloader deletes USB storage. Kinda don't want that. Not being able to access my USB data is the reason I'm here in the first place. I know there's software to back up internal storage but what about SD storage? Of course on this phone there's no SD card to remove.

I would just plug the phone into your computer via USB and copy everything to your computer, then once you unlock the bootloader, copy it back. That'll take care of your USB storage.

Like I said I lost USB connectivity, from the manual 2.3.4 install, which is why I'm trying to go back to an older version in the first place. No SD card on the NS. Do you know of another way?

try to install a program named websharing.
and you will be able to ftp your phone with you pc.
after that will be easy to transfer your SD data to your PC.

That sounds like a great idea. After I back them up I don't care if the SD gets wiped. Thanks for that.

1. Flashing this ZIP will remove ClockworkMod Recovery on first boot.

Aw come on man.......you gotta read! Can you get into recovery?

Yes I know, I'm a dumb ass.
I have only access to fastboot (via Terminal only).

Try flashing Clockwork Mod Recovery with fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery.img

I did but I even don't know if I can boot into the recovery because the screen stay off.

Can you get to the bootloader? If you don't even see the bootloader screen, you may have bricked it.

I managed to fix it using ODIN.
Thanks.

Congrats Glad you got it working.

installing clockworkmod = no more OTA update?

hi, i have installed clockworkmod and used it to push in superuser.apk to achieve root. some time later, i noticed that there was an OTA update, and i tried to install it, download went fine, after rebooting into recovery(which is CWM now), the OTA update failed with unknown command. is there another way for me to install this update, by flashing update.zip using CWM maybe?

Flashing the update.zip should work yes. Additionally, you may want to familiarize yourself with Odin

Ya once u install custom kernel, u cant get it. You just find out original kernel zimage file, n push it back like with initial root flasher. Then u can update with ota.
OR
Download full firmware n flash it with odin. You hav to root + cwm again in either of method

[Q] Installing CWM

So I somehow I accidentally flashed a wrong recovery image on my Note when trying to fix my internal storage not mounting. I have lost the ability to flash .zip files since this build of clockworkmod is 4.x.x. or something. Is there a way to revert back to 5.x.x. Is there a recovery.img I can download somewhere ? Thanks

Get CF root kernel, it will push latest version of CWM
find it from first link on my signature

perfect! Thanks
