Help ::: samsung cappy custom flash - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just get replacement phone from Samsung
FW : 2.2
Baseband I897UCKB2
Build # : froyo.uckb2
I use Heimdall to restore back, noticed that is ROOTED e
install ROM MANAGER, and flush it with samsung captivate.
Now when I do the recovery and choose reinstall, to get to cwm menu, it is failing with some kind of signature error message.
please help

Easiest way is get sgs kernel flasher from market. Download a kernel with it baked in and flash it via kernel flasher. I use one of existz's kernel. Most modified kernels fix the 3e error.

that screen is becuase that is a gingerbread kernel, so gingerbread bootloaders are required for cwm to function.
either use heimdall to flash gingerbread boots, or flash a froyo kernel like speedmod...

[Q] Can't flash JV1

Odin gets stuck when trying to flash JV1....
Gladly I can still use download mode so I'm able to restore my galaxy s....
But I really want to install gingerbread... any ideas on how to install it?
I uploaded an image of the part where the flashing gets stuck... in the image iim using pit 512 but I have also tried with 803 and I get the same result... after odin fails I can disconnect my galaxy s... and boot into download mode again
Have you tried to download odin 1.3 maybe this one is corrupted. Try to restart pc, run odin, put all files, connect the device.

I 've had the same problem. Flash with Odin 1.3 should work.
I tried with odin 1.3 too...
And it didn't work either =/
I was also stuck and i flashed darky's odin rom. Than i have flashed stock gingerbread, flashed 2.2 speedmod kernel and finally i have flashed ultibread via cwm.......so try flashing other rom

Sadly that didn't work either... D:
I'm downloading the JV1 rom directly from samfirmware and if ir doesn't work again I'll try flashing from another computer =)
Well now that JVK has been released I tried flashing that too...
And I can't
It's really weird the bootloaders just don't seem to want to get into my phone x3
I tried using odin and heimdall using the version with the safe bootloaders and it never flashed completely.
Gladly my phone hasn't been bricked... maybe it's because odin and heimdall don't ever get close to flashing the bootloader?
Anyway... I have a mexican galaxy s... I think the name of the model is I9000T
Can someone help?

Putting Permanent CWM and Roms on tab?

Hello,
I just bought and received a tmobile 16 gb tab today off of ebay. Im not new to android. I have a droid pro and tmobile g2x. Both have cwm and able to replace factory recovery with cwm.
The tab is already rooted via superoneclick, chainfire's patch been applied.
I tried searching for cwm permanent for the tab but seem to not find a clear cut process to get a cwm recovery. Can anyone please point me in the right direction. My tab is currently running 2.2 foyo. I already know since the tab has different version and is available for many carriers, that roms are very different

If you have a gsm version, you can flash the overcome rom, it has cwm built in. Look at the overcome site or thread for instruction.
Yeah I just read through it.
So I can go ahead and load overcome via odin? Wheres stock 2.2 firmware just incase it soft bricks?
Its a gsm tab but I only use it over wifi
And should download jupiter nowipe or wipe version?

thank you very much, im downloading the stock safe v5 gingerbread from their site
what happens if i want to flash the cm7 testing rom or another rom in the forum? would cwm disappear?
or is it in essence perm. cwm even if i switch roms
so i followed instructions to the T and odin tool saying fail so i guess it has been bricked
im re-trying again
do i select re-partition?? because odin tool is doing nothing after retrying
have you checked your bootloader as tell in the tutorial ?
It fails at which step ? Is your bootloader locked or unlocked ? Did you put it in download mode ?
Thanks for the concerns, i ended up fixing the issue
Let it die and tested to see if it even charged when i connected it to power outlet. With stroke of luck, got it back to dl mode and now running overcome
If i flash a different rom will overcome kernel will still be on my tab? So i can keep cmw on it?
Sent from Galaxy Tab 7" W/ Overcome Rom
If you flash via cwm, you will still have cwm.
Cool thanks. So it will keep the kernel unless I flash a new one via odin
Ima try flash cm7 build via cwm
Sent from Galaxy Tab 7" W/ Overcome Rom
Beware not all zip files are flashable with cwm. If it's not specified, don't do it or you will brick your tab.

If you are going to try cm7 its best to flash stock safe gingerbread again, and flash cm7 through hiedmal rather than cwm

[Q] How to root stock gingerbread

I tried flashing a gb boot loader from ics and it didn't work so I flashed back to stock gingerbread 2.3.4. I tried rooting my phone like I did when I was on froyo but it didn't work..I can't find any other methods.. any links that could help?
You have to use a kernel swap method, our flash Boogs kernel which has a root option in cwm.
You flash the fugu root mod with Odin, which is a kernel.
Then flash the stock kernel with Odin.
You could also install the Corn Kernel and use the CWM options to install root. From there you can choose whether you want to keep running the Corn Kernel or flash back to stock.
If you're just going to go back to ICS, you don't need root
Sent from my ICS Samsung Captivate
I use Odin one click first then. Odin 1.7 to flash speed kernel use CMW from it to Flash GB or ICS ROMs.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
Or better yet, Odin to KK4, let boot until your passed the 3G screen, Odin the Talon kernel, boot to CWM recovery, and then flash your selected ICS ROM... (don't flash the ICS kernel first... it will cause problems... I found out the hard way)
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
if you don't want to do kernel swap or any flashing you can install superoneclick on you PC and then connect your mobile and click on root button on superoneclick and your crappy will get rooted
I rooted mine crappy running gb with soc about 3 months ago

Know I screwed up but how do I fix This please someone help
all my screen has is a black screen with a white phone and computer with a yellow sign with an ! on it followed the direction to try and root herehttp://www.dkszone.net/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-running-android-2.3.3-gingerbread-xxjvk
Nothing to worry, just go in download mode and flash value pack or any stock rom using odin.

where
well I downloaded and flashed CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS.tar using odin now it seemes to be stuck on the Galaxy S boot animation
Btw what you were doing when you got that screen.
-----Sent using RemICS-i9000-----
you need to first flash stock rom, try searching for value pack i9000 in google and you will get the links
-----Sent using RemICS-i9000-----
Reinstall stock ROM.
If you want to root, make sure you flash right kernel. i.e., for a jvq ROM, flash jvq kernel.
Also, dont flash cwm kernels via odin!

[Q] How to install CWM recovery of Captivate?

I have tried to flash speedmod kernel and use CWM from there but when i try to flash a rom it doesnt work and when i try to reboot it gets stuck at the boot animation. is there a way you can install CWM recovery that actually works? also if you can find an app like SGS kernel flasher except that flashes roms instead? i have tried using ROM Manager to flash CWM but all that happens is it says successfully flashed CWM recovery then when i boot into recovery it goes into android recovery 3e.
Rooted Samsung Captivate i897
use one click back to stock
Hello, what I do every time im stuck is go back to stock KK4 using one click odin.
from there then I use Odin 1.85 to flash Korn kernel.
Korn kernel include cwm, from there you can install other Roms or kernels, or just root.
regards.

In addition to what Zestar suggested I would recommend the KK4 with boot loaders.

Would help to know what is your goal (flash rom, kernel, modem or simply having cwm recovery). There is a well written guide in the Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
But Zestar pretty much explained it. You'll need Odin 1.85 (which you will find in the guide) and a custom kernel (doesn't matter much which one as long as it supports cwm recovery). You have a lot of reading to do before jumping into this and I highly suggest it! I also bricked once outta being hasty, won't happen again
