recovery 3e to 2e - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey i have restored my Captivate to 2.3.3 Stock and now i have Recovery E3 instead 2E and i cant install roms [im trying install MIUI ROM]
how do i restore my recovery to 2e?
thanks

Look to the "Captivate Sticky Rollup Thread" in the General section and u will find the answer that u seek...(although u sought very little)
And don't u have to have Eclair/ Froyo Bootloaders for MIUI ?? If so just Odin back to JF6.

If you are looking at a froyo rom this will allow you to get into clockwork recovery. If you do not know what that means do not flash any rom till you search and read more. I am a noob as well, read 5 times flash once
Captivate
Cog 2.2
only difference is that gdanko is building us an AOSP rom....

Rom manager doesn't recognize my unlocked captivate

I just bought a captivate. I rooted and unlocked it ( now t- mobile) . When I go to rom manager to make a recovery it doesn't recognize my device. Only gives option for i9000, epic, fascinate. What do I need to do to make a backup/ recovery?

Unfortunately there isn't an official clockworkmod recovery for the captivate. You'll need to either flash a kernel with cwm already embedded, or manually load up cwm on your SD card. What stock ROM are you on atm?

Sorry you sorta wrong on some things. There isn't official CWM for GB or Froyo. But there is for Eclair. Sounds like he is on GB at the moment. You are correct about having to flash a kernel with CWM in it.
I stand corrected...but yes unless your still on eclair or restore back to eclair, there isn't an official cwm

Yea, I am on GB 2.3.5 baseband UCKK4. I also have a vibrant.I am really surprised at how different the two phones are. I would like to put a custom rom on the cappy. What rom would you suggest? Kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Suggesting ROMs ins't allow because you will most likely get arguing. Flash Corn Kernel and try out some custom stock ROMs if you don't know what you're doing. If you have an idea. I suggest ANY of the ICS ROMs
I would like a stable ICS rom. PM me with any suggestions.

Going through files in root browser I found a clockwork mod file. Also a zip vcremoveboot-CWM.zip. Not sure what it is? Ideas....

vcremoveboot is the revert zip for voltage control, in case you have unstable settings applied at boot.

Thanks 4-2,
Second question......Do I need to go back to stock gingerbread before flashing 4.0.4 - ICS - AoCP CP 2.1 - The Collective or can I flash over top after wiping davlik and cache , partitions???
Im running Mosiac XI now
U should be able to just follow the install instructions in the OP of the ICS 4.0.4 AoCP CP 2.1 Rom and be good to go. (This is an excellent ICS Rom by the Collective, btw.)
...U could flash back to Stock KK4 if u want the i897 GB Bootloaders...since u may have i9000 GB Bootloaders being on Mosaic IX ?? Up to u though.

Again many Thanks 4-2, I figured Id give the collective first shot with ICS since Mosaic was one of the best Roms Ive flashed.
Guess I'll be flashing it tomorrow.
Good call !! :thumbup:

Ok , flash failed....Status 7 error. Any Ideas???
^
Not sure why u got that error. No one has reported that in the AoCP CP 2.1 ICS 4.0.4 thread.
From reading around, it has something to do with the updater script etc.
Anyway, i suggest u do two things. Get into the cwm recovery u have now and then mount usb and copy a fresh download of the Rom to ur phone. Then copy this kernel.zip that is just the kernel from CP 2.1 release...posted here--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30523384 . Install that kernel through ur current cwm 1st. Then reboot to that cwm recovery and flash the rom again. Be sure to do the wipes etc. that r posted in that Roms OP.
And be sure to eject ur phone from the pc the correct way...see this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29998391.
edit: search "status 7 error" in the Search This Forum tab of this Q & A Forum...search Show Posts. There u will find a lot of helpful info.

Ok, downloaded the new kernel and redid the wipes and flashed the rom again , then reflashed just for good measure. Rebooted and it went right back to revovery and does every time I rebooted. Tried flashing back to Mosaic but that flash failed Staus 0 message. So after playing with it a while I decided to flash another Rom. Again , did all the wipes and flashed HellyBean ....Rebooted right back to recovery again , I'm at a loss...Anyone??? And yes I thought about using odin and going back to stock but Odin won't recognize my phone...Windows does , ADB does but not Odin
When initially going to an ICS Rom from a Stock Rom u will have to flash it twice. First from the cwm that u had from where u started and then second from the next cwm recovery that loads. ---- So when the recovery boots back, just select to install the Rom again. ---- It should load the Rom on that second install.

[Q] Need help rooting Samsung Captivate running GB

Hi,
I need help rooting my Samsung Captivate running Gingerbread 2.3.3 I896UXKH2
I did before, but then I went overseas, and I need to unlock the phone. For me to unlock it, I need to put it back on stock, and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133 method and it works.
Now I tried to root it again using SuperOneClick 2.3.3, but it doesn't seems to be working.
Any ideas?
Thank you

You could flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 for both root and cwm
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Hey martin.y,
If u r just wanting to flash a Developer's Rom in the end...then just use TRussello's guide in the Q & A Forum. It is a stickied thread. Or simply do as BWolf56 stated above---Flash the KK4 Corn Kernel (.tar file version) through Odin3 v1.85 or similar (the kernel.tar goes in the PDA slot). Of course u should know that u r flashing that kernel from Download mode. Takes less than a couple minutes for the whole process. Reboot into the CWM Recovery that is included in the Corn Kernel and select to install ur Rom of choice that u should already have copied onto ur phone's internal sdcard. And prest-o change-o ! New Rom.
Or as BWolf56 stated above also, u can simply get Root through the CWM advanced menu options of the Corn Kernel. :good:
