ok so i have rooted my device today, now im trying to install darky's official port rom on my captivate, how do i install it from the recovery mode without hurting and bricking my phone in anyway. I saw a bunch of youtube videos which said to make a backup then wipe data and then installl the zip from sd.
Is this way correct or do i have to do something with odin3 with this rom?

If your phone is rooted and you have CWM on your phone just get to recovery and select install zip from sd card. Select where you put the ROM zip and select it. Simple as that. You can make a backup prior to installing the ROM from ROM manager if you want to do so. I personally do not do it anymore because I change so much and there are issues for restoring if you are not on the same kernel from the backup.
that failed
i tried that twice, installation aborted both times
It shouldn't have. You didn't rename the file to update.zip did you? Are you only rooted with no previous rom?
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
problemmmmm
ok by mistake i touched some touch buttons and it rebooted my phone and is stuck on recovery, everytime i restart/reboot in recovery.
should i pull the battery?
i can get
i can get into download mode
I would use odin one click to flash to 2.1. Then get into recovery mode and flash the rom.
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
can you

Sorry I had to get some sleep. What process did you do to fix your issue? And yes the video was what I was meaning for flashing using odin one click. Glad you got it fixed.

Hi all,
My dad has a galaxy s. Since the stock samsung firmware is pretty bad, I installed darky's ultimate rom v10.2 on his phone, about a week ago. I have a galaxy s2, running miui, and my dad liked the interface.. so he asked me: can I have that too?
So I said, sure! I wiped his phone with clockworkmod, and flashed the miui zip. (After backing up darky's firmware offcourse)
But.. after about 1 hour of usage, he didn't like miui anymore, so he asked me if I could restore to darky's rom... so.. I went to clockworkmod, and hit the restore button. Unfortunately, it gave an error, saying something about "can't restore boot"
I tried it again.. same error.
Luckilly, I had another backup, of the stock rom, before i flashed darky. So I tried to restore that backup..
I don't know what happened, but clockworkmod doesn't work anymore. Everytime i try to do something, it keeps giving errors about unable to mount this, unable to mount that, bla bla bla.
And the phone wont boot..
However, i'm still able to access download mode.
So i think it's possible to restore it completely, but can you guys give me some advice? What should I flash with odin, and can you provide a link?
I'm really hoping for a quick respond because my dad is not happy with his phone being "dead".
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure Miui is not based on something other then samsung? Maybe you should try and flash a stock firmware (e.g. 2.3.4), then root for CWM, and restore that way?
Ok, you have to know:
For MIUI you just need a GB-bootloader as base and you can easily flash MIUI through CWM. But MIUI (and CM7 too) don't use the RFS-filesystem as Samsung-based ROMs (they use MTD/yaffs2 as the Nexus). So you can't restore Darky easily.
But you can do this:
- Reboot into download mode (3-button-combo)
- Flash any Samsung-based stock-FW with Odin
- Flash any kernel which fits your GB-firmware and which includes CWM
- Restore your Darky-backup through CWM
For stock go to http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
Download and follow the steps in the thread, voila, recovery done
If u wanna go back to Darky's u can check Darky's ROM 10.2 Resurrection. But just for a clean install i would flash a stock JVQ first and then install Darky's.
Thanks for the reply's everyone, gonna try it this evening, when i'm home

My Galaxy S won't boot.
When I boot into recovery it says exactly what it says on blupmans galaxy s.
I am n00b in things like this.
Can someone write a step by step guide how to restore this phone on stock firmware?
When I put phone into download mode and connect it to odin3 1.82 it wont recognioze my phone.
Please HELP!!!
I will give you thanks
Phone is locked at Croatia- Vip
EDIT: Solved!
Hey guys! First of all-sorry for being one of those people who post a question on thier first post.
I've been happily using TEAMHACKSUNG's ICS Build 15 for a couple of months with zero problem.
Restarted the phone a few hours ago in Recovery mode and cleared Cache+Dlavik Cache and after that, the phone couldn't boot. The Samsung screen shows first, then the CYANOGEN MOD screen, and Smasung again..in a loop.
Tried getting to Recovery mode, and nothing...same problem..
Download mode worked.
Please help me fix this situation. Hopfully without a full system wipe...\=
Thanks in advance! [=
Please help....I'm smartphone-less \=
Try flashing the rom again

I've flashed the stock CM7 Kernel and know I can get to recovery.
unfortunately, I don't have the rom's zip file on the internal card to flash it. I've managed to put the rom on the external sd card, but as it seems, there is no way to flash it through the external card.
I did a backup of my system thru CWM [don't have another one]. Thought of maybe flashing stock GB in odin, then CM7, then Teamhacksung's build 15, and then restore the backup I've just did.
Will it work or maybe there's a better idea?
Thanks!

I've flashed CM9 build 15 through all the instructions, with a couple of wipes in between...
Then, restored the nandroid backup and when all done-a weird colorful stripes appeared and nothing. So I installed Build 15 again and the phone booted!
Only problem now is for some reason, Messages aren't working, aswell as Facebook. And all my contacts gone [not a problem, but still-they were supposed to restore after the nandroid..]
Did I do something wrong? Can I fix the messages problem somehow?
Thanks in advance!

every thing without leaving the recovery mode...
sounds long and annoying but it could work for you too...
Dude, download it http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble/FixRecovery.tar.md5 and flash it via odin at PDA , than go to recovery snd flash kernel again. And remember if u making a wipe at ics base rom, flash again kernel, its normal..

I've already managed to restore my rom with the nandroid backup. It's the messages that aren't working...
Well, I think I'll backup all of my stuff and try the Onecosmics rom...

Hi all, I could really really use some help.
Today I decided to try and flash CM9 RC2 and I seem to have messed up big time.
I startred by rooting, using Dr Ketan's guide. That all went smoothly, and root was working.
I put the CM9 zip file on the SD card, turned off my phone, got back into CWM recovery, and most tutorials recommended, selected full data wipe... this is where something seemed to go wrong. While perfoming the data wipe, it seemed to freeze. I let it sit for a while, hoping it would sort itself out, but it didn't, and then it rebooted itself and went into a boot loop.
I can't get back into recovery mode, but I can get into download mode. So I thought the best thing to do would be to flash a stock firmware using odin.
I downloaded the latest german LRG firmware (which I was on before I started) from Sammobile, connected my phone to odin, selected the MD5 file, and pushed start. Again, this is where I got stuck. It just hangs on Nand write start. I've tried this twice now, and it gets stuck at the same stage (about 90% finished)
I have no idea what to do now and really need help. I'm not a total n00b, or at least I thought I wasn't, but I seem to have gotten in way over my head. What should I do?
Edit: see you tried already...

This is classical case of super brick.
You should not hav to wipe on ics. I think u must be on stock kernel. Every corner you may see warning, wiping and reset on ics can brick device, but its unfortunate you didn't notice it.
Anyway check your flash counter is zero and send it to service.centre to claim ur warranty.
If u running out of warranty, fing.a link for 'how to revice bricked note from my signature. And try it.
Edit : i wud like to know, as you said u went to cwm recovery, so at the time of wiping you wr on which kernel?

Hi Bud,
From your predicament, first let me tell you what you have done wrong.... You mentioned you're in LRG Rom already and you wanted to flash CM9 after that.... right?
Well, I guess the process you did was totally wrong. You have to download stock GB N7000(from Dr. Ketan's thread) and using that stock GB Rom, that is the time you can install AbysNote kernel to root and install CWM on your phone. Now after that, download mobile ODIN (from google playstore) and flash the CM9 from there.
THAT's the one you should have done before. Remember, there are no easy way of jumping ROMS especially if your already in ICS... IF YOU WANT TO FLASH TO ANOTHER ICS ROM.
My rule of law would be to downgrade first to STOCK GB and from there, ROOT, install CWM and mobile ODIN and that'll be the time you can flash already to the new ICS ROM of your choice.
So here's what your going to do. Since your still able to boot in download mode, Download any stock GB ROM and flash it using PC ODIN. After that, seee if you can bootup your Note already to STOCK GB ROM. If and If you are able to already, then download a clean kernel preferably Abyss Kernel and flash it with your STOCK GB so that you can gain root and have CWM installed. From there, download Mobile Odin pro and flash the CM9 (that you ultimately want to be installed on your Note)
Hope everything's going to be fine and Good luck bud! :fingers-crossed:
Cheers!
Hello, I know its been several days, but I just wanted to update on the situation.
Thank you SO much to Dr.Ketan for pointing me in the right direction. A combination of these 2 guides (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661590&page=2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886) has managed to help me repartition my internal memory and get up and running again. I've got a stock gingerbread rom running, and all seems to be well.
I realise I was very stupid to do a wipe on an ICS kernal. I read about the problem for 1 particular Kernal back in may, and hadn't read the updates since, and so didn't realise it effected EVERY ICS kernal since then. It's my own stupid fault for not re-reading the warnings. Let this be a lesson kiddies, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Again, thank you so much for the help, to all involved, you are an asset to the community!
Hi guys, I'm having trouble with new ROM installation. I've been using Gingercruzt ROM since last spring with stock kernel. Bootloader is not unlocked, I've only rooted the phone. It's been working fine until I decided that I want to try something new today. I downloaded the GingerDX rom and installed it with CWM. Everything went fine and I rebooted the system. The phone didn't start, it got stuck on the SE logo. I couldn't enter CWM or xRecovery anymore. It bricked. Using SEUS I brought back the stock rom. I rooted the phone again, installed newer version of CWM from the toolkit, etc. I downloaded the zip again, installed it again - it bricked the phone the same way. Then I tried with two different roms - FroyoPro and Free Dom experience with full wipes on everything before installing - same thing, doesn't start. I was able to enter xRecovery with FroyoPro but no CWM and it get stuck at rom's loading screen.
Help please, what happened to my phone Why doesn't it load a ROM like it did yesterday?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I cleared all the possible caches, system and other folders. I even formated my sd card, just in case...
I downloaded all the right roms for stock kernel, all three of them. As I said, I've done this before and it worked from first try.

You should not format /system, cause you are actually removing recovery+rom
& are you sure that froyopro supports stock kernel?

try to redownload the rom. flash it again after a full wipe, then reboot.
signature under repair
I cleared the system folder before flashing a new ROM just to make sure I have deleted the stock ROM.
I tried with three different new ROMs, none of them started. Strange thing... everything goes well with the install and then it just won't turn on.
Do you think it's going to be different If I try to unlock the bootloader and flash nAa's kernel? I don't really want to do that but the phone is manufactured before the 29th week so it's capable.
are you sure it doesnt turn on?,first boot may take some minutes...
Yeah, I know, I've left it for more than 15 minutes with any of the tried roms.
I think I should write down the steps I'm taking after the flash back to stock rom with SEUS.
1. Activating debugging mode and unknown applications.
2. I already have the Android SDK, adb server and drivers from before so I open SuperOneClick and root the phone. Busybox is installed and Superuser is on. Everything goes smoothly during the process.
3. Using x8toolkit I install xRecovery and CWM via Dualrecovery.
4. Reset and entering CWM. Full wipe, install from zip, installation goes without problems and says - Go on buddy, restart and start using
5. Reset, Sony Ericsson logo and that's it. Nothing more happens. With GingerDX and Free Dom experience I can't enter recovery any more. FroyoPro's starting screen shows up after the SE logo but that's all it does - it never goes any further. I can enter xRecovery but no CWM.
I tried installing roms with both xRecovery and CWM - all the same. Could it be some physical damage even though the stock rom runs perfectly well? I don't know, I'm a bit desperate as the battery lasts half a day with the stock rom.
Just to end this thread, nothing worked for me so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed nAa's kernel and got a new ROM compatible with it - it works like a charm now. Thanks for your support guys!
