I'm new to the captivate. But not to the Galaxy S series. But I'm running mine on a rooted 2.1. And ROM Manager doesn't like work. I've tried everything. Trying to get CM7 on this beast but can't get no recovery. Even tried on 2.2. Still nothing. is there a .zip recovery that goes by update.zip and I'm back to stock 2.1. Help

Hi all. I was trying to find a guide to return my AT&T Nexus One to fully stock. Right now I have Clockwork Mod Recovery and CM7 installed. I would like to return it back to stock recovery and stock froyo then update to gingerbread. Can someone help me or is there a guide posted somewhere to do this. I am still a newb at this so I would appreciate some clear instruction if possible. Thanks!

Thanks. Should I use fastboot method or PASSIMG? How do I know if I have AMOLED or SLCD screen?

Will this also restore the stock recovery?
Everything.
I am planning to do the same as the OP but what I would like to know is it possible to keep Clockwork Recovery while running stock Gingerbread and if so is there any advantage to this?

You would have to at least
Root the stock gingerbread for it to be any use at all.

Alright I am really lost.
It seems there are several paths to restoring my N1 from CM7 RC1 to hopefully stock Gingerbread
Fastboot Method
PASSIMG Method
And because I have ClockworkMod Recovery using the backup and restore feature?
I wouldn't mind the last one as it seems fairly simple (I have a copy of the backup on my desktop, just need to figure out where it goes, path etc...) and should restore everything to how it was pre CM7 RC1.
I am worried that because apparently the newer version of CWM Recovery doesn't work with Froyo (2.2.2 which is was I would be restoring to, then factory reset, upgrade to Gingerbread). Also the HBOOTs are different between Froyo and Gingerbread correct? Would CWM Recovery restore the older HBOOT?
Or can I simply use the PASSIMG method with a Gingerbread Stock ROM?
Thanks in advance for putting up with my n00b questions
For some reason i get an error when trying to install CWM through the manager.
Any clues as to what i do to make it work?
Got the same issue. Error during the flash of the recovery.

Well for Cog 5 you will need to flash GB bootloaders. BUT the 3 steps on the OP will work. There some risk when flashing bootloaders, but read up on how to use ODIN and they key combinations, nothing to it =)
I dont know...i looked back on the dev page but i cant download anything since i dont have unknown sources. Ill dig around for a video or something.

I would suggest Flashing Cognition 4.5.3. Its a Froyo based rom but its alot easier to get running runs great easily OC/UV to 1.2ghz I've gotten my phone to 1.4ghz stable (that may vary on your phone)

If its stock, then its just getting CWM on that phone and flashing it. To get CWM theres a few ways to do that, simplest would be get a 1 click root from dev (AIO toolkit is very useful) and install Rom Manager from the market install CWM. Move the Cog zip file to your phones Internal SD reboot in recovery (Rom manager has the feature to do that) and flash from SD, look for the cog file.
I have a galaxy tab rooted with stock rom. ( i used superoneclick) and my tab has been getting really f'd up. Anyone out there have any info on a stock unrooted rom. And also how i would do it. Im a noob with samsung and just need some pointers please..

You will have to flash your stock rom. It's available here on xda. I recommend using a windows 7 pc and a program called odin3 1.7. Don't worry too much, there's lots of insructions. Read everything twice.

Yes, I suggest you find a guide that one of your modorators has put their time into to help people like you. Please next time look a little harder and read.

Of course. Rooting is the first step to make any modifications to your phone. What stock version are you currently on?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I can't say you need to be rooted, but it is needed for certain backup utilities like Titanium Backup. Otherwise, all you need is CWM
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
I suppose I misspoke. Root is not required, but is greatly helpful, and I'd suggest obtaining it first.
Sent from my glitched ICS Captivate using XDA App
I would say , root is highly recommended. But I think I seen a tutorial somewhere about flashing clockworkmod recovery on a stock unrooted captivate, or flashing a modded 3e Recovery to flash unsigned zip packages. I will try to find the link for you. But to backup all your apps and data, you will need root.

There are methods to root gingerbread, but they tend to be more involved then earlier versions of android. I correct my earlier statement that root is necessary. I'd highly suggest it if you want to back up apps etc, but it isn't required. I'd suggest downgrading to 2.1 or 2.2 and use the superoneclick utility. Supposedly this tool works on gingerbread but I haven't had any luck with it.

The easiest way is probably to flash Corn kernel, because you get the option to root in CWM. And you will have corn kernel, so it will also be easy to flash from there
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
If you want to flash a custom roms, flash back to stock, then flash a custom kernel via Odin, reboot to system, put the rom on root of sd card, reboot to cwm, do a nandroid backup, wipe data/factory reset, then flash zip from sd card. That's the basic of flashing. Search around in the captivate section and you will find your answers. There are so many topics about flashing roms. Most of the time the rom dev, posts detailed instructions on flashing his/hers rom from start to finish.
Almost every custom rom comes pre-rooted. No need to root once you flash the custom rom.
Also, if you want to save your contacts, you should do so before you flash back to stock, or before you flash the custom rom. If you want to backup all of your apps, then you will need to be rooted, and have titanium backup installed from the market.
