right now i'm running cm7.1 on my captivate and I was wondering if i tried to flash MIUI.us via rom manager if it would work..
Don't use rom manager. Just use cwm. Always a good idea to follow MIUI's instructions.
thanks a lot

Hi,
This is my second time flashing a rom. I own a rogers captivate and I rooted and flashed to Darky's v7.0 (2.2 Froyo) NO WIPE.
I want to change the rom to Doc's ROM JPY V6.2 CE.
All i know is that I have to copy the .zip folder in sd card folder and flash it using rom manager. Do I have to do the same to flash with this one?
I have read all over the forum and I read that I am supposed to flash back to stock 2.1 and then flash again to a different rom(any other rom). Someone also told me that if I have a NO WIPE version of rom installed then I don't need to flash back to 2.1. Is this true? Can someone please confirm this?
1. Should i just download the rom and just flash through rom manager(if yes, then skip q#2) or change to stock 2.1 first?
2. If i have to change back to stock 2.1, i think I have to use something called ODIN. Can someone explain me the process please? and I dont know where to get stock rogers 2.1 rom. I looked all over the forum.
3. I do not want to overclock my phone cpu. The main post on DOC's rom says that I have to flash a kernel through CWM after first boot. I dont know what CWM means or how to use it. Any instructions?
4. Should I install the Wipe version or the NON-wipe version? and what is the difference? I like changing roms once in a while and I might change it again but I dont know which one I should use.
5. Is this a 2.1 eclair rom or 2.2 froyo? How do i figure it out without installing?
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these questions.
Thanks a lot.
I have always just booted into recovery mode with CWM and flash the zip that way as it works for any rom i have tried so far. I have rom manager but never used it to load a rom since CWM works flawlessly everytime for me.
The simple answer is if your changing ROMs (i.e. Cognition to Perception) - should flash back to stock then load the new ROM.
If your just updating an existing ROM and it has the "no-wipe" version? Then you should be able to run the *.zip provided following the instructions given (most likely through ROM Manager/CWM)
im currently running Supernova 2.0.5 and my wifi/3g is not working i wanted to know if i could get serendipidity and flash a new kernel and what not. im a noob so i want to know for sure if i can do that.

I am a little unsure exactly what you are asking but....you can flash different kernals to different roms using recovery. Put the kernal on your sd card. In recovery pick install zip from sd, choose zip, click on kendal you want installed, then click yes.
You can also download SGS kernal falsher which you use to select the kernal on your sd card and it will install it for you and the reboot your phone automatically.
Thx
ok to clear this up im going to install di11picKle kernel to firefly 2.1 or to other ROMs im just going to try out alot of ROMs because idk how to make them so ill be trying & testing on FULL DAY use of my phone to see which one i like...

THX!!!
im going to try flashing di11picKle kernel to firefly 2.1 via SGS Kernel flasher since everyone says its safe and easy thx alot
Hi. I wanted to get a quick taste of Gingerbread a month or so ago, and tried the RC release of Darky's 10 version rom (I flashed RC3, and haven't installed anything newer after that).
Since then, lots of progress has been made on CM7/MIUI front. I want to try them. Thing is, all of the tutorials (both for CM7 and MIUI) say something like "make sure You have Froyo bootloaders" or something similar. And I have Android 2.3.3 right now. Do I need to downgrade to some kind of Froyo rom first? I am scared of doing this alone unguided - I almost bricked my phone once when flashing Darky's v10 through Odin.
Help appreciated!
PS The process looks generally the same for both MIUI and CM7, right? That's why I put them both in this thread.
PPS I don't care about my data - it can all get wiped.
Yeah you need to flash a froyo with FROYO BOOTLOADERS Make sure you do this. Go to samfirmware and get I think it was JPU or whichever has the bootloaders. After that flash speedmod froyo kernel. Then make a backup.
Once you do that, get ROM manager in the market and select CM7. If you don't want to buy Rom manager (you should though because it will make updating to the nightlies very easy) go to CWM and flash normally
Easy wasn't it
Easiset way to make sure that you have Froyo bootlaoders installed:
Flash EZBase - this can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792&highlight=Ezbase
Then simply download the files required and forllow the relevant instructions for that particular rom.
I flashed my phone with CM7 successfully with the help of EZBase! Thanks!
OK, this will be the last question(s) from a noob.
Here's the thing. I recently rooted my X8, installed xRecovery, and also installed Busybox.
I want to install a new custom rom onto my phone and I have searched everywhere for an answer (of which there are many. But very contradictive of each other).
Here are my questions:
Do I have to go back to 1.6 to get the new rom, or can I stay on my current 2.1?
Do I have to install Clockwork Mod Recovery to install the custom rom (which is CM6)?
If the above is true, then how do I put it on my phone after I have already have xRecovery?
How do I get the rom installed on my phone using xRecovery?
And finally. The intended roms zip file says something along the line of update-froyobread.zip. Do I have to install the original CM6 rom on first and then put the intended rom on after? Or can I just install the rom by itself?
I know this question is very noobish but I hope you can be patient and help me...
Thanks in advance.
first you din´t need to go back to 1.6
second you not need cwm recovery
and about the rom you need to follow the instructions in the post of the rom
and you need baseband finished in 15
Thank you I'll give it a go!
guys, can you please give any idea/methods on how to:
1. root
2. install CWM (stock rom)
3. enable the VPN
i read diff posts but still confused. currently im using samsung phone which im familiar with.
regarding rooting, ive read about blackjack and upgrade kit methods and about CWM, still confused as nova rom needed before flashing CWM. Also, i did'nt found thread regarding VPN which is my main priority. hope guys you can guide me and if possible any links stated above.
1. already posted before,search for it
2. download ROM Manager and a CWM install, flash through RM, then you're good
3. there's no vpn in stock rom,unless you flashed CM7
