So I have a Samsung galaxy captivate and I have searched constantly for a fix. What the problem is I have gingerbread 2.3.5 and it's just not working when I flash roms. I think I have the wrong cmw recovery. When I try and flash cmw recovery it doesn't give me the captivate option I am rooted. Whenever I try to install rom from sd card I can never find the file and I only have this update.zip so when I try and flash I get the E failed to verify whole-file signature and the the other e: fail thing. Please help! Thanks!

ROM Manager works fine for 2.1, but not for anything else. You need to download any 2.3 kernel that already has CWM baked into it and flash it with Odin or Heimdall. What I would do is go into the development thread and pick any gingerbread-based ROM that is already packaged for Odin or Heimdall and flash that. Then you'll have CWM and you can go from there.
But when I try and flash roms I always get an error!

You're getting errors because you're trying to flash from recovery but you don't have CWM. You can't flash anything from recovery until you have it. Like I said, you need an Odin or Heimdall package, not a CWM package.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406877
Download the Odin One Click Package. Do some research and teach yourself how to use Odin and the risks involved, then flash it. This will give you CWM and you can then flash anything you want from there.
i already have the heimdall suite but i have no idea what to do with it or how to get cmw on my phone!
Sir refer to this and this and this. Read the stickies for newbs and understand before you flash ANYTHING. You might end up with a nice hard brick...

jayRokk posted a quote with a brief tutorial and I gave you a link with a one click flasher, both of which will put CWM on your phone.
You need to peruse the stickies in the development section to learn the ropes before you start flashing with Odin or Heimdall. There are risks involved that you need to fully understand and the process for how to do it safely has been covered many, many times in there.
Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858765
Learn the terminology, the risks, and what to do when something goes wrong, and then go to town.
Seriously just follow that first step i posted to my link and youll be able to flash
ANY
rom you wish!
lol

thnx
Ok will do. I just flashed.
Now whenever I try and flash mosaic 9 it keeps getting stuck on replacing stock recovery with clockwork mod recovery. And when I open rom manager it doesn't even show galaxy captivate
DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT
use RomManager
when flashing place a rom on sd card
boot up to recovery (pressing Vol+ Vol- and Power)
flash from there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DONT i repeat
DONT!!!!!!!!!
use RomManager or any RomManager recovery!!
Ok well how else do I do it?

Did you not read my guide or my last comment?!?!?!?

None of your links ever work
I know you're frustrated...
But do you really think you'll get more help by name-calling? All of the links posted in the thread above take you to useful tutorials on how to flash ROMs using methods other than ROMManager. I've not used ROMManager for, well, anything since the Eclair-based ROMS.
Breathe deep, put the phone down for a bit, and read the links. You'll get a successfull ODIN or Heimdall flash following the methods described therein. I promise!
None of the downloads work though man!
Yes they do... I just checked all of them...
Dude...in the mosaic thread, the second post has an Odin package of the ROM.
Just .tar in pda slot, when it's done it'll boot into cwm, from there just wipe data/factory reset and reboot. Bingo bango you're on mosaic
Thank you so much I'll do it now. It works with 2.3.5 gingerbread correct?
Hi, i've used this rom via Cwm like this post was written, and i flash ok, but when i'm restarting the phone it always reboot. Can u tell me what ive did wrong?
Now i only can conect to pc via sdcard i put the basic root signed.zip and it didnt recognize.
Can annyone help me? i can copy the link of you tube here to help.
Thankss
Please be a bit more detailed the next time you describe a problem. You should at least give some exact information about what rom you have flashed and how you did it...
I suggest you to read the following and then do a clean flash via odin when you have gained some basic knowledge:
[9001][GUIDE][NOOBFRIENDLY]Starter-Guide
[GUIDE] [Flashing ROMs] Step-by-step
Hi sorry for my late answer. I read all posts for noobs and ive discovered that my phone was boot looping. I flashed the original firmware with odin. Then the basic recovery mod all with odin. After that ive rooted the phone and flashed the New twrp touch recovery mod. Then I flashed a kernel compatible with 4.4.2. And the New rom. O only Can flash the mokee 4.42 and not others I dont know why. But phone is runnig well. Ive even installed the Galaxy w drivers compatible with our phone.

ok so here is a nice problem for some reason my device (ICSsgs rom 4.2) lost the abillity to enter into recovery it worked fine last time I checked but now it isn't, so I tried downloading rom manager and using it to reflashCWM recovery but still can't access the recovery.
I do have access to download mod, any suggestion as to how I could gain access to the recovery as I want to falsh a new rom.
EDIT:
OK managed to go to CM9 at last, I will write a short guide in this thread when I"ll comeback home so if anyone gets stuck in this kind of situation could have a quick refrence.
checkout hdtechvideo forum or on tube if you need a video guide ,if not go through odin some roms are already rooted ie darky resurection 10.2 good luck

Just flash stock gingerbread version via Odin
ok so I flashed a gingerbread and then used the CM wiki to get CWM recovery, but I have a slight problem, no matter what rom I try to flash I get this error message:
E:Can't open /mnt/sdcard/romfile.zip (bad) installation aborted.
I tried flashing several roms, CM7,CM9,AOKP build 36 and dark knight 5.5 all give the same message.
I also tried downloading the latest CWM from the CWM site and this time it started installing but it's stuck on replacing stock recovery with Clockworkmod reovery...
any ideas how could I flash a new rom? I don't have access to Odin just Heimdall (linux user) and I have no idea how to make it accept Odin packages.

Actually he has to use multi-file firmware instead of a single file downloaded from samfirmware (All explained in many posts in 5830i General and Development section).
Also... agreed, this post should have been posted in the General Section
[TUTORIAL] Unbrick/Firmware restore | Flash GUIDE | ROM List & REVIEWS [22/9/2012]
Second post clears says "[Tutorial]unbrick"..... Should have read before putting a new post.

Please:
1- write detail instructions or link to a post so i can follow & learn what to do
2- Appreciate to put a link to any needed tools
Thank you
Rom manager is horrible. And useless.
If you can enter download mode, just Odin flash a stock firmware and redo the steps to get recovery. You should only create rom backups via recovery, Rom manager does not seem to support the Note 1

All these questions are answered in the forum.
Odin flashing
If you read your first post, it says 'CWM recovery.' Look through everything here to get a clearer picture.
