I want to know if anyone out there knows how to port a rom from the Samsung vibrant. The rom is called simply galaxy v2.7.2, it is a very fast rom. Here is the link:http://www.multiupload.com/PJIZ8D3PT6
Please reply back ASAP and thank you in advance

not sure if its the same rom or not but there already is a simply galaxy for the captivate, you would have to see who makes each rom
Its not to difficult to get one to work but it breaks a few features between the two phones i think
Thank you but I don't think the rom your talking about is completely stable. Plus the rom that I posted was constantly updated. Please if you can port, then let me know. Or can you find someone who can.

why dont you port it?
coming from a vibrant, all you need is to swap the kernel and the modem.....and edit the build.prop
easy stuff
I really don't know how to port it, can you just please do it.

'porting' it would require you to download the rom zip
open rom zip with 7zip (do not extract)
open up a kernel zip that you want to use (must match 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 to corresponding rom version)
drag n drop zImage from the kernel zip into the updates folder in the rom zip
do the same thing with modem.bin file from a modem zip
if you want the phone to be recognized as an sgh-i897 you need to open up /system/build.prop with notepad (i use notepad++ for everything on windows boxes) and make all references to T959 say i897

ever wanted to flash back to froyo but didnt want to use the almighty odin? well here is a simple solution that should let u install froyo on a gb build without any errors
1.open the 2.2 rom you want to flash on the file explorer on your computer then click into the META-INF folder then com, google, android, and u will see the file updater script, delete that file (if u have problems getting that to delete use a program like winrar)
2.put the updater script u downloaded in replace of the old one (if winrar or any other program made u unzip the file and didnt zip it back up automaticlly make sure its done then place the file back to your phone and flash away
dont forget about the thanks button

This is helpful, but you have to know why first. The difference is the difference in the install scripts. In CWM versions before CWM3, we used amend scripting. Amend scripting is no longer supported in CWM3 and above, it now uses edify scripting.
Kernels that contain recovery prior to CWM3, you can flash the old scripts just fine. For example, cmenards latest JVQ based kernel supports both amend and edify scripting, and is based off CWM 2.5.x.x.
Its all in knowing what you are running, and what's compatible.
I wont get too preachy on this, but Odin is your friend, nothing to be scared or wary of, and with regular use to actually set you back to stock, will create a much better running environment for your Vibrant experience. Shortcuts around it will eventually cause all kinds of issues.

Wondering
Has this worked for anyone?
The OP missed some key points in this "guide".
If your zip file is using is using the old amend scripting, then there will be one file called update-script (not updater).
The newer scripts, edify scripting, uses two files, update-binary and updater-script, and you need both files if your kernel or recovery method is cwm3 or later, edify scripting only.
Or you could save a dev a future headache, and just use Odin.

You're talking about his last deadhorse kernel. That one, if memory serves me, even has a pre-kernel flash that you did through sgs kernel flasher, then the rom and full kernel. Coming from that one friend, I do believe Odin is your only option.

I sure wish you would elaborate. I've got Frito 2.2, rooted with clockwork and titanium backup.
For the life of me, with all the updates, lingo and quick replies I can't determine what zip or tar or modded bootloaders etc to use.
It'd be nice for a quick how-to for what KI2 IF offering.
Get the I897 GB bootloaders(KF1)
Download mode, then flash those.
Next you will boot into recovery, delete all user data.
Then download the tar file(KI2) and extract using the password
sampro.pl
Put what's in the folder into the Odin PDA slot and flash.
I will help you root when you get that far.
Elaborate enough?

I just ODINed back to I897UCJF6 2.1update1 eclair on my captivate and I want to flash some custome roms again. I have flashed multiple roms for example (Firefly,Cognition) but now I cant seem to find the Rom Manger Free app in the market?
I have tried the following:
Market Enablers
Appbrain Market
Sideloading apk (this works but cant connect to clockwork server error)
The only thing i am able to download is the premium rom manager which is just a license.
Any help?
Im running out of ideas here thanks!
Don't waste your time with Rom Manager. Flash a kernel with cwm or load the update.zip with cwm and go from there. Not sure where the update.zip is anywhere but should be somewhere.
Rom manager is completely unnecessary for the captivate
this is the file you need
How do you get Clockworkmod recovery installed with out Rom Manager? I can't see it i the market either.
Wow just wow..... Sticky guide I usually say use the search button, but geezuz christ it would be a good idea to read the stickies on dev, Q&A and General.....

Thanks for the guide. Using Rom Manager is the easy way to get CWM installed, but if you totally mess up your cappy like I did, that guide helped me out a lot.
Flashing ODIN 1 click stock, and then following the guide. I had to use Heimdal to get it on but now that I have all the necessary files i can break and rebuild a cappy in 10 minutes. (got a jig also, miracle device, just Ebay'ed Captivate Jig)
Hey guys. I'm sorry to ask. I'm traveling and don't have allot of time. I'm an experienced HTC user my buddy has a rooted cappy but no cwm. I know very little about Samsung. Can I just flash that update zip? The phones on 2.1 and I want to put gingerbread on it. Thanks in advance.

You can use that update zip, but you need new bootloaders for GB. Flash one of the odin/heimdall packages found here. After that just flash a kernel with cwm baked in with odin/heimdall and flash w/e rom you want. Reminder flashing bootloaders can hard brick the phone if connection is lost at the wrong moment or you mismatch bootloaders. Just flash a package that includes them and you should be good. Make sure your cable is good and so forth.. Good luck

You shouldn't need ADB. It should run on 86 and 64 bit OS. Odin is windows only, heimdall is multi platform.

No we can't. Rom manager was never very good with our Galaxy S phones and its gotten worst. +3e recovery its just trash in general. Easier to flash a kernel with it baked in.

Googled, searched, prayed, sacrificed a feature phone...no luck.
I have CWM4xxx on the Tab with RandomROM.
I want to install CM10 (p1c), but the install in CWM barfs basically saying it cant figure out that I have a SPH-P100 (error7)
I'm thinking the issue is that I need CWM5 to install CM10, but I can't find CWM5 anywhere for this tab.
yes? no? i'm an idiot?

Ok here's what you do get a zip program on ur computer I prefer winrar. Open up the ROM zip DO NOT EXTRACT IT, navigate to /META-INF/com/Google/android and open up the updater script in notepad. Start from the beginning and delete the first line up until the first semi colon you see (delete the first semi colon too ) and save and close the the zip and flash

to return to CM9 from CM10 you need to restock to GB because of the incompatible MTD partitioning.
Yea...which makes it a huge PITA to do it that way. So much stuff all over the place it makes it real hard to figure it out
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
what is the real issue? backup and restore?
Buy titanium backup pro.
Or is it hard to get stock ROM for CDMA tab?
The process of Odin/Heimdall restock is less than 5 minutes.
I did it many times (uncountable by now) on my P1000.
The actual step is where the pit file is loaded, making the partition "stock" again.
i am having the same problem can someone show me exactly what to delete?
i figured it out .
