[Q] Captivate 2.3 or 2.2 with a rom? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am a new user on the xda forums (although I have read countless threads). I am a little confused as to what I should do with my captivate. I am debating between flashing 2.3 (to which I see only one drawback: there are not many stable roms out there and flashing them can be a struggle as my recovery image is not very functional in 2.3), or sticking to 2.2 and finding a nice rom that I enjoy (only drawback: it's 2.2 and not 2.3! ) So can anyone advise what to do? Thanks in advance!

My opinion: If you're new to flashing, flash a 2.2 rom. There's less chance of things going truly wrong (less true brick chances). Then, once you feel comfortable flashing (and know a little more), make the jump to 2.3.

I'd say go with 2.2, unless you are feeling brave. CM7 and MIUI (both 2.3) have pretty short battery life. Some people talk about having good battery life, but I think those people are in the minority.

thanks for the quick responses. Well I have flashed roms before (not really new to it), it's just that I haven't done it through the clockwork mod recovery because I am not able perform functions in recovery mode when running 2.3 (which is what I am currently running). Is there a stable 2.3 recovery image for the captivate out there? (none of the options in rom manager seem to work for me...) Have others been able to successfully use rom manager on a Captivate running 2.3?? If so, could someone please provide detailed instructions on how to do so?

What are you NOT able to do in recovery mode for 2.3 that you CAN do in 2.2? I mean I have been from 2.1>2.2> 2.3.4>2.3.3>2.3.4 via clockworkmod without any issues.
What exactly are you trying/wanting to do? If you are just trying to change roms? A little more info might be helpful.

well yea basically I can't use rom manager to flash a clockwork mod recovery that is functional on my captivate. This hampers me from flashing roms through recovery. Could someone just walk me through the installation of rom manager on a 2.3 stock captivate and then the flshing of a recovery image (chosing the proper model etc.)? (I think the issue may have something to do with unsigned packages or something like that?)

pretty sure there is a ton of info on here about that exact error.......in fact there is a freakin sticky on it.
you cant use ROM manager to flash recovery on 2.2 or 2.3....without getting around that error
hint: that error makes a really good search

okay well I found a method a while back involving the replacement of the recovery in the system/bin folder with a moded 3e recovery.... (not to change topic) but would you recommend soing that and then using cwm, or should i try this new bootloader stuff with Odin (or whatever is needed to flash roms through odin)?

you have some reading to do.
pick a rom that you want, flash it
2.2 and 2.3 will come with android recovery 3e. to get around signature verification error, you need to replace the recovery as you indicated
if you are flashing from 2.1/2.2 to 2.3 (excluding CM7 and MIUI) you will be required to flash bootloaders first before you can flash the 2.3 rom
aside from going from 2.1/2.2 to 2.3, there is no reason to flash bootloaders....
if you stick with 2.2 roms, as long as you take care of the 3e recovery, you use CWM....always
if you go to 2.3 roms, flash the bootloaders ONE TIME, then you can flash as often as you want,

Ohhhh I see.... I don't think I clarified this, but I am currently on stock 2.3 using this method mentioined by: nakedninja42
I personally always remove my external memory and sim card before using odin. It is not needed as people will post but neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.
1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm
2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.
3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image in post link for reference) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=75
4) Flash fugu kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 Look for the step two that says download odin or heimdall, select the ODIN (well the version your going to use).
5) Flash stock kernel (see post link) credit to lownox for helping me on that http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=116
6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)
7) Install busybox from market
8) ENJOY!

So from here, do I need to do anything additional with bootladers in order to flash other roms - how exactly do I flash roms from this point? Thanks!

if you are already on 2.3, then you already have the bootloaders. you dont need to do anything with odin or bootloaders to get a new rom on. bypass 3e recovery and use CWM... NOT ROM MANAGER, to flash your rom

Sorry to sound extremely noobish... but I thought cwm was through rom-manager?? How do I go about flashing solely through cwm?

on the samsung galaxy s line, cwm is an update.zip file. all rom manager does is put an update.zip of itself on the /sdcard/
you dont need rom manager, just that update.zip. if you have bypassed 3e recovery, it will work.

o okay, that makes sense. I did see that update.zip file when using rom manager. So as I think you have said I already bypassed the 3e recovery because I am now on 2.3? So just find that update.zip file and everything will work through my recovery?

no. any time you use 'official' firmware and not a custom rom, you will get 3e recovery back to defaults. you will need to bypass it again

Do you just want to get CWM recovery somehow? If you already have GB BL flash a custom kernel using ODIN which has CWM. For how to flash GB try to see installation instructions from Apex

ROM Manager 3.0.0.7 not backing up my Rogers Stock ROM Help

Hello,
ROM manager is not backing up my stock rogers rom 2.2 using Kies. Everytime I click on backup it'll reboot my phone and then take me to recovery screen.
When I get there i only see four options it doesn't even boot onto clockwork mod with all those options
Some applications sometimes don't even recognize that my device is rooted
I rooted it using superone click windows.
Frikking Titanium backup isn't working either what should i do ?
Please help me out with what could I be doing wrong ?
i believe its because of the 3e recovery used in the 2.2 rom i suggest trying to find the odin flashable version of voodoo, which will work

[Q] downgrade to 2e recovery help.

Hi,
basically, i want to install darky's rom onto my sgs, but one of the pre-requirements is for me to have 2e recovery. i am currently running speedmods k12i kernal and have got 3e recovery (which is the problem).
i have found this guide on darkys site:
How to install Recovery 2e manually?
* Download Recovery 2e files from here - Download
* Open Root explorer or ES File Explorer
* Remount system with -rw
* Copy recovery file to /system/bin (replace if asked)
* Copy xbin folder contents to /system/xbin/ (replace if asked)
* Done, you've Recovery 2e on your device now.
but dont fully understand it, especially the 3rd point.
alsoone more thing, i made a backup by booting into recovery and going to backup/restore and backing up from there, it contained these files,
cache.img
data.img
dbdata.img
efs.img
nandroid.md5
system.img
are these the correct files for the backed up version of my rom? and if it is how do i go about reflashing it all?
thanks
oliver
p.s - i never thought id be this needy for information, there is just soething about it i cant wrap my head around without a little bit of guidance.
thanks again....
if i was you i would leave darkys roms alone and stay with it stock darkys roms are supose to be stable why bring 3 versions out in one day i installed 9.0 from 8.1 and it broke my phone so had to reinstall everything if you cant install Recovery 2e if any thing goes wrong with your phone you will be stuck

Firstly Darkyy's rom IS stable. If you had a problem with it then thats just unlucky. if 10,000 people install the rom and only one ruins there phone i would say thats stable. Even kies can crash peoples phones.
Ok now on to the OP.
I went from stock JPY to Darkyy's rom literally in 10 minutes.
Install a kernel such as speedmod or voodoo 5.2 which is compatible with JPx ( presuming thats what your running ) as these have CWM in the kernel via Odin.
Then just get darkyy's rom and put it on your SD card. Boot into CWM recovery and flash the zip from your SD card.
In root explorer, you have a small button on the upper center of the screen. It says Mount R/W

Or you can just go to www.samfirmware.com and flash any old Eclair rom. That would be safest route in my opinion because it will completely remove any trace of you from the phone - meaning that the phone will be as good as new (at least in terms of software).

i am running speedmod k12i 500hz, and my firmware is JPB. this speedmod has CWM, but it doesent say anything about 2e recovery...
but i am going to try and put 2e recovery mon it using that guide now i know...
also, are the files i posted right for a backup of the rom?
EDIT! i have succesfully made the 2e recovery, CWM running from rom manager works perfectly now, (it dint before)

so it wouldnt have root or anything like that? i would then do what with it? flash cf-root and then just install darkys?
cheers for your helps guys, darkys v 9.0.2 is on and running smooth =D
Just for clarification - the 2e recovery is to allow flashing unsigned .zip files.
ClockworkMod will do exactly the same thing, its a more 'full featured' 2e recovery, if you want to call it that.
Eh, im not too fussed now really, it put my mind at rest knowing I had the 2e recovery...

Running 2.1 i think eclair stock rom... Basically how do i install 2e recovery?
[ROM] Spike Speedy Edition v2.1 site says "Download clockworkmod recovery"
Do i need 2e recovery in this case? Or can i use superoneclick?
well, if you are running eclaie stock, you should already have 2e recovery. are you rooted? if not, do it. i beleive you can with superoneclick (i think) but yeah. just follow the instructions for flashing with that rom and enjoy =]
out of interest how do i downgrade to 2e from 3e on 2.2? im trying to use run voodo lag fix for samsung galaxy s and when I try to run update.zip from (by pressing vol up, home and power) it says "E:Signature verification failed..Installation aborted", which im told is because I have 3e on my Samsung Galaxy S instead of 2e?

Thank you.
That because you're on 3 recovery(samsung's own) u need 2'recovery there 2 ways to get it.
1.flash cf-root kernel with Odin.then your phone is also rooted.
2.root your phone(eg.oneclickroot).when your phone is rooted, download rom manager from market and follow instructions.
Yay.that the right kernel in your link.but u need to flash it from ODIN.

[Q] Clockwork Recovery "failed to verify whole-file signature"

Well, i've been looking at themes to put on my official 2.2 Captivate and they all are saying to create a NAND backup first before doing anything. So i did some research and from what I can tell, you do this with CWM. My phone is rooted. I downloaded ROM manager, i flashed it, then i go and click "Make backup", the phone reboots and the blue system recovery menu comes up(3e, i'm not sure if that makes a difference) and I click "reinstall packages". It goes through finding update package, opening, verifying, and then it says:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

I'm then right back at the recovery menu.

It's because 2.2 uses 3e recovery which is not compatible with CWM. If you wish, you could theme 2.1 stock I guess, but a better solution is a custom ROM with themes

Alright. Thanks.
Is there currently a solution being worked on to make CWM work on 2.2? Or, is there another option to make a NAND backup on 2.2 other than CWM.
I'd rather not go back down to 2.1. I saw that some ROMs are already made for 2.2 like Cog 4 and Serendipity(But, you also should make a backup before flashing, lol. Which leads back into my earlier question in this post if there are any other solutions than CWM for 2.2). I probably will end up putting a custom ROM on my Captivate, but if it's just a matter of waiting a little while until development for 2.2 Captivate gets going, then i'll just wait.

I have Recovery 3e on it right now and by the sounds of it, this is not going to work to get it into rom recovery mode... so i downloaded the rom explorer and got a file that was supposed to replace 3e with 2e or something of that matter so i can get it in the right recovery mode to upload ics onto my phone. I moved the file to system/bin and renamed the old recovery file recovery.bak i than moved the other recovery file to the same place and changed the permissions! i rebooted my phone and still nothing! Any help would be greatly apreciatted... and dumb it down a bit so i can understand!

Simple way: Download the Heimdall one click in my signature. Backup the stuff on your phone. Go into download mode. Run the one-click. Install the drivers that come with it (it will tell you how). Click the big "flash" button. You will have CWM when it's done, and can flash from there.
^Or you could just flash a kernel with CWM build into it.
The ideal platform for flashing an ICS Rom has to be CWM + Root + Stock GB ROM ( kk4 leak ).
If you got some patience, do it in order.
1. Root your phone.
2. Install CWM recovery.
3. Optional :Flash any GB Rom ( Preferably any one of those captivate leaked roms) using CWM.
4. Download ICS ROM (teamhacksung seems to be stable) and Flash TWICE through CWM
Enjoy

so then you know that it doesnt matter if you have root or not when you are in CWM, since you arent in an OS....?
therefore, ROOTING is not necessary to flash a new rom..
I also am on rogers and what I did was to use an heimdall 1-click package that flashed CWM for me then I used CWM to flash an ICS build.

[Experimental] Stock Recovery For Gingerbread 2.3.6

Introduction
Many new users flash Clockwork Mod recovery on thier stock Gingerbread 2.3 roms and then suddenly they realize that they need to root their phone and want to root it. But, when they give it a try they find that they need to have stock recovery to root the device.
And, you shall then need to go through the tedious process of flashing stock firmware just to get back to stock recovery. You will lose all your settings, data, configuration and there are many other drawbacks. But, no more of flashing to stock rom from now on.
With this flashable tar file for stock recovery, you can now be able to revert (or go back) to stock recovery even if you flash CWM recovery with the necessity or going through flashing the whole firmware.
Use it at your own risk!!!
Experimental.... Recommended Testers : Users with stock Gingerbread DDKQ7 firmware

See, next post for instructions on installing or using it.
Instructions on Flashing Stock Recovery!
So, let's begin.
Download Odin Multidownloader v4.38 for GTS5570, Tass_v1.ops and stock GB Recovery if you do not have them already. You can download them from here.
Run Odin Multi downloader v4.38 and select the Tass_v1.ops by clicking OPS button.
Select One Package Option and Click One Package button and select the stock recovery file name (stock-recovery-gt-s5570-yagya.tar.md5) file you downloaded.
Leave other settings to default (i.e. don’t change any other options/settings)
When you are done reboot your phone in download mode (Press Volume Down + Home + Power button to go to download mode)
Connect your phone in download mode to your computer via USB Cable.
When Odin detects your phone (If you see a com port number written in yellow background at the top left, then your phone is detected. View image.), click Start button.
Wait till Odin finishes the job (approx. 3-5 minutes) and when it reports ‘PASS’, you can disconnect your phone.
That's all. You have flashed back to stock recovery without having to flash a whole new firmware on your device.
Now, reboot to recovery mode (press Home + Power button) and see if your recovery changed to stock or not. Don't forget to share the result with us at the post below.

AS you can read here http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/12/rooting-samsung-galaxy-pop-with.html those who doesn't want to install custom rom need stock recovery to root their device since the rooting scripts written till now, only work with stock one.
So, those who flashed CWM recovery but now wants to return to stock recovery since they are not going to flash any custom rom will use this to return to stock GB recovery.

Sorry . No offence dude.
I didn't mean to be rude. I was just a little off that time.
I was just saying that there would be very little or negligible percentage of people that would go back to stock recovery.
And also if they have flashed GB they would themselves get stock recovery. And I think no CM or custom rom user would prefer stock recovery.
I guess it would be really very helpful in case if phone has any hardware problem and in warranty, so may be flashing stock recovery and then sending it back would help.
It is helpful.

Well not a problem.
No read carefully what you have written and what I am telling below. Yes, they will get stock recovery after flashing GB. But, the aim/focus here is to get stock recovery with out flashing GB firmware.
If you can get it, then all right. Otherwise, I would suggest us to stop this and leave it here only.
I wanted to share this since I got few request for this, and it's here now and those who want can use and those who doesn't can simply ignore it.
there is a typo in the first post.
I dont understand, if u want to reduce the tediousness then just make a flashable zip of the recovery. Why odin? They are using a custom recovery after all.
Hold it. There a ppl using cwm on stock roms!! What are they using it for without rfs support?

Well, I understand flashing it in CWM is a good idea. So, I will update provide an zip soon.
There's no need to hold it . LOL! New users are not learned like you are, so they flash it. Later they want to revert back but find that they will need to flash whole rom , that will erase all data and apps. But, with this they can only change the recovery to stock.
mount system?
is it able to mount system on stock firmware 2.3.6 XWKTN?
