Is there anyone working on a root method for the v6 update?
My understanding is that fast boot doesn't work with froyo on this phone, and it's needed for rooting v6. also, that fastboot should work with gingerbread, and that root is expected to shortly follow any gingerbread release. (And also allow TheCubed to finish his CM7 port more easily.)

Anyone have it working wanna shre the procedure
Does not work at the moment. DG is updating Cog from eclair to froyo 2.2, so just wait and see if he has plans for it. He's working out the kinks in Cog 2.2, so stability first, flashyness second
Yeah I want stock lock for Froyo and the battery meter with percentage.

Thank you
I've been trying to do this myself following this thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779803
However getting stuck in a soft boot loop.
I do not receive any errors during the process. I have tried both manually completing all the steps, and using the bat file script provided later in that thread. Both yield same results.
I also tried the vibrant 1-click method, by replacing the included files with captivate specific ones. Same result as well.
Any suggestions?
The changes may be different in the 2.2 frameworks, unfortunately.
I wish that Samsung would release the proper source code to build a complete and working AOSP for their phones. *dreams*
I searched but as usual I suck at searching this site so if there's already a thread please point me there and a mod can close this question down.
I've been running gingerbread ROMs for about the last month or so. It's been fun and I like the work the devs have done so far but I'm just not satisfied with the performance yet (mostly battery drainage stuff, some lockups and other minor issues).
I want to go back to a froyo ROM. Anything I need to do special for this? do I need to flash the old bootloaders? I'm not sure what is required but I'm sure it's simple.
Thanks.

On this page, just a few threads down.
Your answer is yes, GB bootloaders are backwards-compatible; just don't flash a Froyo ROM that includes secondary Froyo/Eclair bootloader or your phone is not going to be very happy.

Hi all, I'm hopelessly looking for Apps2sd for my device
I have it for two days now, installed a bit more then 10 apps and its already complaining
Since there are no custom roms available yet, it would really help me out if I can get apps2sd working.
I tried flashing the latest version of darktremor's apps2sd script but it produces an error that amended scripting is not working or something similar.
Anyone an idea if I can get this working on my brand new device?
Thanks!!
Stock kernel doesn't support ext4 and init.d - not possible to use any a2sd. You need a custom kernel. Second - wrong section!
Thanks for the response and sorry for posting in the wrong section !
So lets wait for a custom kernel then..
Mods, please remove this thread. thanks!
Questions should be posted in Q&A section!

Hello Forum,
I am very new to rooting devices and installing custom ROMs.
I have a few questions I would like to ask, I searched the forum and couldn't find appropriate answers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 (This being one of the threads)
I was going through the sticky thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397
Which says, "WARNING: Do NOT use CM9, Asylum CM9 or AniDroid kernels as drivers on ANY CM10 based Rom - and vice-versa!"
I had recently flashed CM9.1 on my galaxy note GT-N7000, by following the instructions mentioned on their wiki page.
Just installed clock work recovery, entered the recovery mode, did a WIPE & installed CM9.1 & google apps.
After a few days I followed the same procedure and flashed CM10's latest preview. It went well and everything seems to be working, except that
the phone is a tad bit laggy and doesn't really deliver what JB is supposed to deliver. Sometime the power button won't wake the screen up.
This can be because CM10 is still in preview stage and the stable release is not out. But now that thread I mentioned before kind of bothers me.
Do I need to update the kernel while switching from CM9 to CM10? Downloads are available in the same thread. Or does the kernel update on its own while flashing CM10? And if I have to update the kernel do I need to have CF-Root? Does the fact that I have clock work recovery on my device mean that I have CF-Root?
Sorry if my question is too noob-ish, I just wan't to know a little theory behind what I'm doing so I don't screw my device. None of the threads that I found in the search explain things simply. I would be really glad if anyone of you could help me just understand things. I really appreciate this community for having put up so much information, thanks in advance!
Hi all,
First of all, sorry if my questions been asked million times, I did try search and read through the forum for days, still not sure.
I had my cappy since 2009, flashed couple times to custom roms with some experts assistant here. Was using HTC EVO 3D for half a year..... and dont like it, and i gave it to my wife, coming back to cappy. l like the captivate community here. a lot more developers and good roms for cappy.
I have done couple days reading on the captivate Q&A, Development, and general section, also, search through youtub and google. no tutorial for flashing from custom rom to JB. I cannot be sure which is the correct flashing procedures for me. Since I was missing half a year time following the captivate thread.
My cappy is using,
FireFly 3.0
Baseband version: I9000UGJK4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected]
1) In order to flash to Jelly bean, what would be the safest way to flash?
2) if flashing CyanogenMod 10, I have read the procedure for flashing CyanogenMod 10, sounds like no Odin needed, just flash from internal SD?
Any help would be highly appreciated

I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL. YOU VETO THE RIGHT TO SUE ME
Steps to get you to CM9 (i personally am having trouble going to cm10)
I take things one step at a time to not mess up anything.
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
a) make sure you have ATT Gingerbread bootloaders
b) install CWM via the kernel
c) if fails odin back to stock(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843) and repeat (should work)
2) download cm7 from ( http://get.cm/?device=captivatemtd )
a) mount storage and place inside
b) from CWMRecovery follow instructions for flashing (look on internet) to wipe everything and install from zip (itll reboot)
3) download Glitch kernel for cm9 (maybe you might need to do this if you experience boot loops, or error)
4) flash cm9 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592141&highlight=kernel)
5)....
Hey bro,
Dont worry, I understand the risk of bricking. I really appreciate your detailed info. I am gonna follow your instruction to flash tonight when I get home.
Some more things tho, I have a rogers cappy means I896, should I get rogers bootloader instead? And what if I flash some ROM which is not CM based, would the procedure any different? Cuz heard ppm saying after flashing CM based ROM is harder to get back normal ROMs because of different file system structure.
By reading some threads, there ppl saying ICS can understand any boot loader, so I don't have the flash it? Cuz I heard flashing that is most risky.
Lastly, I would like to thank you by at least clicking your thanks meter, but is not on your signature. Or could u tell me to click that.
Again, I really appreciate your help
Jack
