Would an i9000 rom work on a captivate?

Would an i9000 rom work on a captivate without any modifications?
I found a rom with right to left language support, but it is made for the i9000. Could I just flash it?

yes but you need to flash the captivate kernal.

yes you can just flash the i9000 rom you want, but after it boots up at least once, you'll have to flash a reoriented kernel to fix certain problems, including the incorrect screen orientation. there are a few of such clearly labeled kernels in the development forum, so take your pick. simple instructions: one-click flash the stock rom, boot normally, flash clockwordmod recovery, factory reset within clockwordmod recovery, flash your i9000 rom of choice, allow the phone to boot completely and establish a data connection, boot to recovery, flash a reoriented kernel of your choosing, boot normally and enjoy. hope this helps!

There are several kernels in the dev section, I would suggest either xcal , hardcore, or glitterball. Which is best is a matter of preference. How to install, there are several ways, replace zimage in rom package, odin, clockwork flash. What rom do you want to flash

I am trying to Flash PilotROM for I-9000.. It is a hebrew rom developed and posted here http://sgsil.mobi/showthread.php?t=3&p=4&viewfull=1
I have the .zip package to install via clockwork however. I'd like to switch out the kernel in the ZIP Package...
How do I do that?

Download the kernel you want. For example xcal's. Open zip and find the zimage. Copy it. Download rom you want. Find the zimage and replace it with the copy you made. Rezip rom package. You should be good to go

I'm all set. Thanks!. Worked flawlessly with the Zimage file swap.

OK... Step 2... I customized the ROM now how can I repackage it to a .zip CW installation file?

Should just compress to zip then move to sd of phone. What compression program are you using
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

I have winRAR. But when I say to make it flashable I am talking about the files of the ROM currently on my phone...

You have me a bit confused. You changed the zimage in the rom to a captivate kernel. Where did you do this, on phone or on pc

[Q] I think I'm half bricked.. Help

Hello,
I own a I-897 Captivate model, and I had a custom 2.3.4 gignerbread rom recently..
Latley I tried to move to cognition becuase the other rom did problems for me..
So I followed the guide, and when I first flashed the kernel I wasn't using any pit file..
So it's just stuck on odin with nothing happening, so I closed odin and rebooted my phone.
Then the phone showed me a logo with phone and computer with X between them.
So I flashed again using the pit then I got to the recovery, where I tried to install the cognition 5.2 without succes, it finished the install, but when I rebooted it just kept switching between the boot screen of AT&T and Galaxy S GT I9000..
So I tried to use my Nandroid backup, but it just won't work, I tried to install it manually and still it isn't working..
So I tried to instal my previous rom and succeeded, but now when I reboot it it just loading the Talon logo, finishes it and stuck on the end of the loading without any action...
So, I can use the download mode and odin.
What should I do?
Thank you very much.

What build number is your phone

I have read tons of time,
I tried to install Cyanogenmod, but it seems when I get to the recovery it doesn't work..
I flashed the recovery through CWM, but its very limited and blue not bright green or yellow as always.
I only got 4 options:
Reboot
Re-Install packges
Wipe user data
Wipe cahce
How do I get my recovery work properly?

That's not CMW that's the regular 3e recovery. You'll need to flash a kernel with CMW built in or one with an alternate recovery (I usually use an Onix kernel)

I've flashed a full gingerbread stock rom, with boot loaders and it works fine,
but now I can't get to the download mode, so I cant flash the rooted kernel..
I'm stucked unrooted, How can I root it?
It's Gingerbread 2.3.3 UCKF1 Build stock rom.

Pull out your battery, Sim, and SD card. Plug your usb cable into a usb port on the back of your computer then plug it into your phone. Hold volume up and down then reinsert your battery, should boot into download mode.

[Q][HELP!!!]How can I bring my phone back to life if it only accesses download mode?

There's a problem that I've came on while downgrading to stock 2.3.3 from MIUI 1.11.11 2.3.7 with CWM. I've wiped partillion chache and dalvik chache, installed rom XWJVH (it went correctly) rebooted, it stuck on booting screen. Restarted into download mode tried to install another kernel (cf-root 3.2 because it worked in past) and got fail in Odin.
Is my phone fully bricked? 'Cuz I can't get into CWM anymore.
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

If u can get into download mode, you will be fine. Just flash a full stock rom with odin.
If u still have no joy, flash eclair jm9 (from samfirmware.com), it will resurrect most fxxk ups.

Ok, let's try but on other combinations Odin said connecting after starting a process (tried 1.3, 1.7, 1.8 versions to flash 2.3.3 and 2.3.5, none worked) but whar if it will not work? What next, because on recovery it gives "black screen of death" as said in this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
But at least download mode works.
P.S. I get modem and code files in jm9 download, which to put in pda? csc?

Is odin detecting your phone, yellow light?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

yes it detected.
AND YES its going now, I've put pit file in and it is working now!!!!!!!

PASSED in odin, booting up........ boot logo......... please boot up!

something wrong, boot logo loop.

flashed cf-root 4.3 and I hope for the best.
P.S. nooooooooo, boot loop again
P.P.S. thank you anyway, at least boot loop is easier to work on.

Have you tried jm9 yet?

I am a little bit confused, and you too...
To bring back to life your phone you have flashed jm9, eclaire....ok.
But why have you flashed a CF-root 4.3?
It's for JVS gingerbread rom.
Edit: If your 3 keys combo still works, try to flash a stock 2.3.x

If the problems happen while using MIUI, better you select eclair rom first. Then you can upgrade to GB that have bootloader.
From MIUI directly to gingerbread will have fuzzy screen problem.

Galaxy S wont boot

Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas

Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.

2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.

Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!

How can i flash Stock Froyo/Gingerbread trough Odin? Can`t find anything usefull @ google
btw i can reach Recovery Mode (CWM / Speedmonk something)
(Kinda experienced by flashing around with my N1 for around 2 years now, but never heard about this Odin Program)

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379853

Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !

Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!

[Q] How to install CWM recovery of Captivate?

I have tried to flash speedmod kernel and use CWM from there but when i try to flash a rom it doesnt work and when i try to reboot it gets stuck at the boot animation. is there a way you can install CWM recovery that actually works? also if you can find an app like SGS kernel flasher except that flashes roms instead? i have tried using ROM Manager to flash CWM but all that happens is it says successfully flashed CWM recovery then when i boot into recovery it goes into android recovery 3e.
Rooted Samsung Captivate i897

use one click back to stock
Hello, what I do every time im stuck is go back to stock KK4 using one click odin.
from there then I use Odin 1.85 to flash Korn kernel.
Korn kernel include cwm, from there you can install other Roms or kernels, or just root.
regards.

Would help to know what is your goal (flash rom, kernel, modem or simply having cwm recovery). There is a well written guide in the Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
But Zestar pretty much explained it. You'll need Odin 1.85 (which you will find in the guide) and a custom kernel (doesn't matter much which one as long as it supports cwm recovery). You have a lot of reading to do before jumping into this and I highly suggest it! I also bricked once outta being hasty, won't happen again
