After flashing GingerVolt 1.3 I soon get a notification asking to update Swype. Should we be going ahead and installing any Swype updates that are prompted?

So I understand how to use CWR to get back to stock 1.0.1 but from there how do I load a STOCK 1.1 version, not the pre-rooted version I keep running into here on XDA? Normally I would go to the B&N website and grab the latest software that use to be 1.1 but is now 1.2. Do I even need to go through 1.1 from 1.0.1 to get to 1.2?
Thanks,
Tim

Solved it myself. Did the hardware method to clear the system and data and then was left with a fresh 1.0.0 version. Then applied the 1.2 which updated fine.

So I flashed a keyboard from here and it is sweet...just one problem, it is tiny! Probably something simple I overlooked but since it says it replaces a file, do I need to reflash gingervolt to get rid of it? Thanks!!

Supercharged GingerVolt
My GF bought the Revolution when it first came out. Shortly after, I rooted it and installed CWM so she could use the wireless tether app. Some time later, her phone wanted to update but I saw there wasn't a root yet, so I renamed the libdme_main.so file to block the update.
So now I want to update her phone to Gingerbread, but I've hit a brick wall at every turn.
I tried doing a system update through the About Phone, but I get a message every time that the update failed.
I tried just flashing a Gingerbread ROM through CWM. It would work, but then I couldn't activate the phone and it would reboot every couple of minutes.
I used RevoToolKit to put the stock recovery back on and then try again for the system update, but it still fails.
I've tried to use the LGAllInOnePkg to unroot her phone, but it doesn't work. It reboots and says done, but SU is still on there and working.
Any help? I'm out of ideas and very frustrated. Thanks!
So you tried to flash Gingervolt while still on revolt?
That's a big mistake as it'll screw up your phone
Do you have a cwm backup that you can flash back to?
Do you have LGNST installed to you pc/mac?
Try to flash the v7 tot with LGNST to upgrade to gingerbread that'll return your phone to complete stock

No, I was just on the stock froyo ROM. I already restored back to that ROM. Can't find a way to get to Gingerbread. I'll look into that LGNST thing tomorrow. I'm not familiar with it. Thanks.
Here's the link to what you'll need
Follow it step by step and reboot pc/mac when you install new drivers or when its prompt

Don't disconnect the phone until it's complete
It'll take about 15mins
You can also do it when you're in cwm just make sure the phone is set with debug on and internet connection
Good luck

Not only was I able to update her phone to Gingerbread, but it didn't even wipe her apps or settings in the process. I told her she'd have to set her phone back up. She's going to be so happy. And now we can Voice Chat with each other. The future is now!
Thanks again. You really saved my bacon!

im running version 2.3.6 or v8 i did the root and upgrade from v7 reinstalled cwm and everything went great now im trying to install gingervolt 2.0 this is my first custom rom flash and i hope im missing something small but everything installs it asks for my language then it gives me a error for the sim card not installed i did wipe all data before installing. any help would be greatly appreciated so i don't have to miss out on all the fun. i know the sim is good if i reflash back to the stock rooted rom it works fine.
On V8 you need to flash broken out 1.1, not gingervolt. Gingervolt was for v7.
thanks i wasnt fast enough to get rid of this i just had to take a break from my reading and come back to it and i realized my stupid mistake thanks again
I installed Cyanogenmod 10 stable (jelly Bean) on to my Captivate. Now I don't like the Cyanogen keyboard, and would like to restore the Samsung keyboard (2.3.5) that was on my Gingerbread stock ROM, which I'd backed up using Titanium Backup.
When I try to restore, it Titanium keeps on forever - i.e. hangs
Also, I've tried to restore the stock Swype 2.9 that came with the Captivate. Can restore it, but it never works - keep getting messages that it stops.
With Swype, at least I have the option of a decent Beta (v 1.3) that I can install.
How do I get the stock keyboard to work on 4.1? And the licensed Swype if possible.
Thanks

Pretty sure you can't get that keyboard to work... but if you want Swype, all you need is beta.swype.com
