I'm currently using teamhacksung's ICS, but I want to go back to GB now. Some people are telling me to flash stock WITHOUT bootloaders and some are saying
flash WITH bootloaders >.> so.. with or without? that is the questions
also, I can just cwm right? I don't really like odin
I don't think you need boot loaders but you need Odin or heimdall as cm roms use a different partitioning system than regular roms

No you can't just use cwm while you have mtd partitions to flash a touch wiz rom. You need Odin. Of you already have gingerbread boot loaders there its no point I'm flashing them again.
Edit: got ninja'd by a teammate
guys I tried to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285616

having a wierd problem, as the title says i am unalbe to change roms and have it boot.ever since i flashed the ROGERS 2.3.3 (containing i896 ROGERS bootloaders)
no big surprise i didnt like it.
while reading this keep in mind i have alot of experience flashing, and yes lagfix was disabled!
odin flashed a CWM kernel (one was using before rogers)
restored Nandroid. (of before ROGERS)
stuck at kernel screen
Flashed different kernel compatible with rom.
stuck at kernel screen
Loaded CWM to flash a custom rom.zip
flashed OK
reboot stuck at kernel screen
Odin flashed i9000 gingerbread (with i9000 GB bootloaders) from few months ago
stuck at kernel
Odin flashed ROGERS 2.1 eclair stock.
stuck at kernel
Odin flashed ATT one click
SUCCESS!!
Odin flahsed Rogers 2.1 eclair
SUCCESS!!
ODIN flashed i897 ATT GB bootloaders
ODIN flashed CWM kernel CWM flash ROM
Restore NANDROID
SUCCESS!!
finally back to normal...**never flashing rogers 2,3,3 again!
or so i thought.
got bored and went to flash a different ROM
STUCK AT KERNEL
had to repeat all above steps!! ALL before it was back to *normal* again
any thoughts to what got permanently messed up????
Did you try reformatting system and cache before flashing a new ROM in cwm? (i'm just guessing here)
yes and the Odin one click re-partitions - wiping everything known.but still the problem exists after flashing my 1st custom rom i am unable to boot into a second ANY rom (stock or custom)
and this is VERY frustrating as i just finnished my own custom ROM and am unable to quickly flash test versions.!!
I don't know. Odin one click should have fixed everything. Did you master clear/reformat the internal Sd?
no not the internal sd.
also i remembered at one point right after being on ROGERS stock 2.3.3
the first rom i tried flashing was a custom build I made with a kitchen tool using cygwin.
anyways after flashing and failing, i noticed the update script i created flashed the zimage to 2 different dev/bml blocks!! one i never seen before.
i stopped using that kitchen tool but is it possible it flashed something to a dev block that odin one click isnt clearing? but it repartitions. that should clear EVERYTHING!
still my problem presists...
flashing issues. cracked screen. might be time to buy a new phone.....
You could use Heimdall to dump your partitions and find out.
Heimdall print-pit...in case u didn't know

Hey all, just revived my old captivate, was going to put ICS on it, was attempting to root, but the one click root program wasn't working, was hanging while rooting.
I tried factory wipe, and now I get stuck in a boot loop, it will boot the i896 bootscreen, the the Rogers screen, then reboot.
I've tried from there connecting to Kies, but it won't recognize it. I tried flashing stock Eclair to it using Odin, still bootloops, tried one click odin, still boot loops.
Any thoughts? Am I missing some obvious noob step? I don't have CWM or anything on it, just a stock 2.1 that won't boot.
Just tried flashing the AT&T firmware, same deal. Get past the ATT bootscreen, then the Galaxy S screen then it reboots.
Flashed Froyo, and it boots! But I can't root If I flash back to 2.1, back to bootloop.
Try to search around the forum for the stock recovery without signature checks. Once you have that, you can flash a rom. And most custom roms comes pre-rooted. You can also flash a kernel with Clockworkmod recovery built in, and flash the rom via CWM. Just read the Rom thread about installing.

Thanks, looking for that now, any idea where it might be to narrow my search? Hopefully this helps.
I think it should be in android development forum, in this captivate section. If your on a computer, you can search for it using the search box at the top.

If you're on Froyo, look for the speedmod kernel. If you can flash that via Odin/Heimdall, you should have root and CWM on your Froyo build.
The other option would be to flash a stock Gingerbread rom with CWM baked in - I believe that 4-2ndtwin has a KK4-based one-click with CWM and Gingerbread bootloaders in the Stock Roms Collection thread.

Flashed the Kernel through Odin, but on reboot there was no sound and the touchscreen didn't work. Managed to get into CWM, so I'll see how things go.
The kernel worked, got to CWM and flashed CM9, thanks for the help!
Hi guys, so I tried flashing Paranoid Android onto my phone using cwm 5.5, the phone was on stock ICS, now that Ive flashed it i simply cannot get past the "galaxy note" screen it does nothing, I have tried erasing all data een with superwipe, and tried a flash of stock gingerbread, stock ics and other roms to no avail.
Anyone who can help me?
I think you have not read the forums thoroughly, Never flash CM9 based roms from a Stock ICS kernels, you will be superbricked, try pc odin to get back to GB rom if it hangs at particular point then you have emmc bad partitions, send it to Samsung service or try to revive you gnote with altered pit file.
Damn, I have not read the warnings because I have rooted and rommed so many phones that I just treated this as a normal phone and did not know about problems like that.
I tried flashing stock Gingerbread and stock ICS by ODIN this has got the samsung screen now but no further.
It has reset the binary, do you think Samsung will repair for free?

OMG, I had CM7 on it for about a year now, it's been great. Now I tried to flash a different (corn) kernel recovery to it and it's flippin out. I can't get it into recovery mode anymore, the 3 buttons or anything else I do just puts it into download mode. I've flash it back to a stock rom UCKK4 using a 1 click program and it'll boot up but I get all these weird colors on the screen before and after the AT&T logo, like the boot partition is corrupted. Oh man, I just wanted to put the corn recovery on it with cm9, plzzzz help. p.s. I really spent ALL day yesterday reading and trying to figure this out, hoping there was an easy fix.
Don't worry, it is an easy fix.
1. You can't use corn with CM, corn kernel is based off stock KK4 gingerbread.
2. The garbled screen you are getting means that you are trying to boot a gingerbread kernel without having gingerbread bootloaders. You need to flash a stock gingerbread package that includes them.

They meant gingerbread boot loaders because they are backwards compatible with froyo and eclair stock ROMs. Just download a one click stock gingerbread ROM with boot loaders and flash. I'd go for UCKK4 package provided by 4-2ndtwin with boot loaders and repartition

I have tried to flash speedmod kernel and use CWM from there but when i try to flash a rom it doesnt work and when i try to reboot it gets stuck at the boot animation. is there a way you can install CWM recovery that actually works? also if you can find an app like SGS kernel flasher except that flashes roms instead? i have tried using ROM Manager to flash CWM but all that happens is it says successfully flashed CWM recovery then when i boot into recovery it goes into android recovery 3e.
Rooted Samsung Captivate i897
use one click back to stock
Hello, what I do every time im stuck is go back to stock KK4 using one click odin.
from there then I use Odin 1.85 to flash Korn kernel.
Korn kernel include cwm, from there you can install other Roms or kernels, or just root.
regards.

In addition to what Zestar suggested I would recommend the KK4 with boot loaders.

Would help to know what is your goal (flash rom, kernel, modem or simply having cwm recovery). There is a well written guide in the Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
But Zestar pretty much explained it. You'll need Odin 1.85 (which you will find in the guide) and a custom kernel (doesn't matter much which one as long as it supports cwm recovery). You have a lot of reading to do before jumping into this and I highly suggest it! I also bricked once outta being hasty, won't happen again
