Go to the "rooted" link in my signature, and take the Eclair/Froyo version

Isnt the Su file in your signature for froyo? And isnt 2.3.3 gingerbread? or it works?
Thanks.

The file in the thread that you want is: su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip It works for Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread.

Great, thanks alot for the help

im also rooting but grj22 build, what do i need to download to my sd before i unlock my boot loader?

To unlock your bootloader, you don't need anything on the sdcard. To continue with rooting, you would need to have a custom recovery on your computer and use fastboot to install it after you unlock it, then flash the zip that was mentioned above (which would need to be on the sdcard) to actually root your phone from the custom recovery.

Install recovery, boot into recovery, mount the SD from recovery, then move the file over to the SD using windows...

ok col, now heres the kicker...i flashed recovery-RA-nexus-v2.1.1.img as my recovery , and im pretty sure i put cryogen 7 on the sd so i fudged it up pretty good.whats the best recovery to flash i, if had gingerbread 2.3.4 which came ota au natural? also im finding the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip file either, anyone have a proper link to it?

If you're going to flash cm7 or ANY pre-rooted rom you do not need to bother with the su.zip. Just flash the rom from custom recovery.

i keep getting the no img wrong img message in fastboot when i try to hboot?

Fastboot is used to flash the custom recovery. The recovery flashes the rom.
I can't understand your post in the first place so I dont know what is your actual issue.
But read the wiki.

[Q] CWM internal SD card, cant restore

HI guys!
I want to flash cm7 to my new p990 but for some reason the SD card I used in my old phone wont mount. "Alright no problem, ill just use the INTERNAL sd card." Probably not the best idea.
Phone is rooted, installed rom manager and flashed CWM 5.0.2.0.
I tried to back up my stock image to the SD card but CWM wont mount the SD card, and I cant choose internal. I managed to do a nandroid back in CWM, but I had to choose where to put it in ROM MANAGER. All went well. Flashed CM to the phone. Now im on CM and got a hold of ROM MANAGER again and I want to flash the stock rom back.
The thing is, this time rom manager doesn't recognize my internal SD card either, and neither will CWM. Any way to flash the new CWM 5.0.2.3 through CWM?
CWM 5.0.2.3 supposedly fixes my issue but I have a feeling i cant do it that way.
Any help would be appreciated

You don't need anything fancy to install 5.0.2.3 (which I suppose you meant to write.) Just download the latest here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745 and choose which version you want to install, external or internal, which in your case seems to be internal.
That should put you right where you want to restore the backup from your internal card.
EDIT: Oh, and remember to turn the phone completely off instead of just rebooting, to get your sdcard mounted again (could be that's all you need to do.)
EDIT2: I've never used ROM Manager to backup, but if it gives you the opportunity to put backups somewhere else than the root of the card (your post seems to imply this), use a file manager to move the backup to the root of the card before rebooting into CWM.

Thats what I want to do. But I need a way of installing it. CWM cant flash over itself, cant it? And I cant get rom manager to do it either.
EDIT: LOL, im a RETARD!!
All the files I need to flash it through ADB are all there in the download...
Thx again man!!

You don't have access to a computer? You need a computer to install another version of CWM. (Well, there are other ways, but it's much easier from a PC.)

5.0.2.0 is compatible with 5.0.2.3 right?
After restoring it wont boot. Restoring again now.
Satser på det går bra
EDIT: sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext.
Does it matter?

You may have to convert your partitions back to ext3 before restoring with this CWM-installable script http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=720818&d=1316120010. (CWM 5.0.2.3 should in theory do it for you, but I've never gotten it to work.). Mount your sdcard from within CWM, copy it from PC to card, then install it.
No, the sd-ext message does not matter.

Does this format my entire phone with backups and all or does it just convert it?
Did my filesystem go over to ext4 when i installed CM7?

It formats the /system, /data and /cache partitions, but doesn't touch your sd-cards, so your backup is safe.
Yes, the latest versions of CM7 use ext4 for /system

hmmm, excuse my language but... YOU ARE SUCH A ****ING BAWS!!!

It depends on what I'm doing. Right now I'm on MCR GR3. I frequently flash back to stock 2.2.2 to check if the app I'm currently making works as expected, and sometimes I flash CM7 to test some specific features there.
If you're asking what I'd recommend I'd say go with MCR GR3 when the prebake comes out, or Topogigi 1.8 which will be based on said prebake.

Hmmm. okay, thanks
I kinda like the stock rom but I would like the overclocking and possibly undervolting that aditional roms have. The battery time I had on cm7 was SICK. I fear I wont get that on the stock rom. Im having a try at topogigi v1.7, but I having some problems. Like, can I use ur baseband switcher app to change the baseband I have, and is it necessary? tried flashing it without flashing new baseband (cuz I dont know how ) and then it just bootlooped.
Ill check out MCR GR3

Slight misunderstanding here, it's not a baseband-switcher, for that you need to go through the whole smartflash-dance again. It allows you to install a different ril, that's all.

Topogigi 1.7 works fine without a new baseband, but not all phones can boot with the undervolt of the default kernel. (He has an optional kernel with stock voltages available which probably will fix the bootloop for you.)
Ill check out MCR GR3

The prebaked version isn't ready yet, but will likely be very soon. I expect Topogigi to release 1.8 not long after that.

have same issue. thanks for ideas.

[Solved] Recovery 5.0.2.6 samurai..........

Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.

Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD

So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.

ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.

Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.

seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.

The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?

So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium

Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.

Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.

yeah thats a must do.

So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.

When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.

from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7

Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

[Q] Install BCM ICS RC4.0 Update 0

Hey guys,
I'm trying to install BCM ICS but constantly stuck on checking partition screen at the beginning of the install. I searched extensively on the forums and found that it's maybe the sd card.
My question: do I need an ext-4 partition on my sd-card to get the rom working?
What I did:
-Installed Blackrose
-Got the partition layout 220-16-200
-Flashed CWM recovery again via fastboot, just in case I lost the recovery
-Rebooted in recovery en wiped everything
-Install BCM 4 ICS
-Stuck on check partition screen
Thanks

For BCM you must have 4ext recovery

Edit: Wifi now working after reboot.

Tried a sd card of a housemate of mine and that one is working. So will buy a new one tomorrow.
BTW this rom in incredible fast! Faster than gingerbread in my opinion.

Hold on! If you originally formatted the SD card with CWM and didn't fully reformat with 4ext then try that first. CWM is known to screw up formats. Worth a shot anyhow.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA

I haven't formatted the sd-card with CWM. With CWM I couldn't install the rom. When the damage message appeared, I threw the card in my pc and formatted it.
I tried different format styles but nothing worked. Now the card isn't even recognized by my pc.
But thanks for the suggestion.

thank you,i flash it success

i can't install 4EXT after i setup Blackrose.
My devices was brick? (

^ That sucks!

Im confused Hboot fastboot blackrose etc

I know my post count doesn't look like a noob. I am a noob at nexus one.
I got an old nexus one on stock from my friend yestarday.
I was looking at the roms seeing what to flash. I got really excited for some of them.
I looked at the instructions... mindblown... never so confused
I come from the LG Optimus One and all I had to do there was just go into TWRP/CWM/Amonra was just clear data, system, cache, dalvik cache and then flash new rom+gapps
Here, it seems it is way more complicated. I tried searching around. no avail
Can anyone try to explain to me how to flash custom roms. I think I know how but I don't want to make any mistakes...
please?
for example, on texasice's JB rom it mentioned
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
can't i just do that in recovery?
and what exactly is HBoot. is like a bootloader?
and since i come froma device that took relatively little effort to flash things... can anyone tell me stuff to avoid so i don't brick my phone?
help a member out... everyone has their firsts

Only thing different is that you *need* BlackRose bootloader (HBOOT) for larger ROMs. All is explained it the BlackRose thread. Don't give up too soon, it's all in there.
You also might want to repartition your µSD for apps2SD (m2sd is a very good one, also has a dedicated thread), as the internal memory is not very large.
As for recovery, go for 4EXT recovery (also has an own thread) and indeed, fastboot erase is an alternative for wiping in recovery.
I wish you good luck, and don't forget forum rule number 1.

I already partitioned my sd card with CWM on my Optimus One. Do i need to repartition it? I plan on using either s2e or link2sd. I use an 8 gb sd card and i already have 1 gb of space paritioned for my sd-ext.

Partitioning with CWM has lead to many corrupt µSD cards in this Nexus One forum, so ditch it and install 4EXT Amon Ra recovery is 2nd choice. But CWM is definitely a no-go.
I was only suggesting m2sd as I read many people love it, but feel free to use your own A2SD!
