Click on my signature below and from there use the Guide link. Or look here if looking using the XDA app... 【Guide】How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock (inc. Gingerbread ROMs)
And in the future a simple search before starting a thread would suffice.

I think it's also the very top link ^ in the Q&A forum here. You can see the how-to guides up there.. and if you look on the youtoobs you can find guides there too.

In fact go to the dev section. Look for thread called something like overcome beta 2.
In that thread in the first original post in the zip called the overcome guides. Thats the one.

I've checked out that tutorial, but it says to download the GB-STOCK-SAFE.ZIP. Is this what you did ? and isnt that download for Gingerbread ? as i wanted to go back to 2.2 Froyo. And is your tabs Rom now recognised by Kies ?
Did you figure out how to revert back to 2.2? I'm wanting to do the same, since my language (Norwegian) was not an option in the 2.3.3 I'm currently on, rendering my keyboard-dock pretty much useless. So I wanted to try going back to stock and wait for the official update.
He is wrong.
What you need to do is to go to the Overcome v1 thread and use THAT guide. It has teh link to the froyo stock rom etc.
The Overcome v2 is GB not froyo.

Updating to latest firmware

Hi. Im pretty new to all this and was just looking for some guidance. I got the Captivate about under 2 years ago and have never updated it? I tried to using Kies but it never worked. Always said that the device wasnt recognised or something. So my question is, what is the latest stock firmware for the Captivate and how can i flash it?
Thanks!
latest official supported version is 2.3.5, KK4 -gingerbread.
you can find links to stock roms and tools for flashing in the stickies at the top in the captivate android development forum.

[Q] Help with GSM EURO P1000

Hi I have P1000XXPJZ with 2.3.6root, and I want to flash CM9/10 what kernel/cwm would you recommend me to flash?
You mean you have root but you don't have cwm recovery?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
yes, I have root on this stock 2.3.6 and now i want to flash CWM and then CM9 or CM10
Please read the stickied threads like this one before posting in the wrong section as they're there to give you guidance. Questions belong in the Q&A sub-forum.
Thanks

oh sorry, i forget it.
The best method is still using overcome method.
link is in my signature.
Read the PDF.
Restock using GB stock safe v5 first, then flash overcome kernel.
That gives you cwm.

[Q] Help to update firmware for my gt-p1000

Hello, I have been reading for a long time now on threads all over this forum and there is simply too much for me to take in. So I thought maybe I could ask for help and one of you clever people could help me.
I would like to update the firmware on my tesco samsung tab gt-p1000 wifi and 3g to anything 4.+ oh and suitable for the uk. I'd like to still be able to make calls, use gps text and wifi general stuff. If some one in the know could suggest all the downloads I would need and point me towards a guide that suits those I would be very greatfull. p.s I think the tablet has been messed about with before as it has no serial number but I don't know.
Please don't just post ''read this thread'' I'm asking for some one how knows this information and just say ''use the modem LINK, this rom LINK, this software LINK and follow this guide LINK or similar.
From my research there are other people looking for the same build. If there is already one out there. link me up please.
I maybe looking for a complete odin build !
currently firmware is 2.2, baseband version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 , FROYO.XWJJ3
There won't be an odin build of any custom rom for p1000

Thanks for letting me know that.
So how will I do it?
You can follow my signature to overcome method.
Your have froyo, so you must root your ROM to enable you to check if you have protected bootloader.
And if you do, then to patch it.
Gingerbread doesn't have such issue.
But all that is in overcome PDF guide.
Once you have overcome kernel, it gave you cwm recovery.
With that you flash custom ROM.
