Clockwork Recovery Rogers 2.3.3

I have Rogers 2.3.3 Official installed and rooted, but every time I go to install Clockwork Recovery from Rom Manager, the Captivate is not listed as a device, I only get Galaxy S i9000, Galaxy S i9000 (MTD), Nexus S, Nexus S 4G. Is there another way to install it? or Did i do something to make the Captivate not show up? Thanks!

there is no CWM update.zip for gingerbread (CWM3) for the captivate.

So how are people getting it on there Captivates then? or do they flash all roms through odin?

If you're gonna flash a ROM, flash a kernel that has cwm included already with Odin, it's probably not going to boot all the way to Android with a different kernel, but just button combo into recovery and flash the ROM.

I tired flashing a kernel that has cwm from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127578 but everytime I go in recovery it says "E:/can't mount /cache" etc..... Had to flash back to Rogers 2.3.3 kernel.

That's a beta kernel, just try an xcal kernel, talon, or darkcore. Hell even a froyo kernel should work for just getting cwm, and will be flashed over with the kernel included in the ROM.

Thank you so much for the crystal clear answers! so now that I have GB Bootloaders, can I pretty much flash whatever i897 or i896 rom I want?

yup. if you were to downgrade to a froyo rom, most of those use amend scripting (for cwm 2.5 and under) whereas the ginger roms now use cwm 3 which uses edify, so you would have to flash a froyo kernel wirt odin, or sgs kernel flasher app, button combo into recovery so that you have cwm 2.5.

I just try them all and they don't work! I'm getting bootloop! And now when I flashed back to Rogers Kernel, I'm also getting bootloop, I had to go in recovery and clear cache and userdata to fix it.

How to flash latest stock rom

I currently have a rooted phone with custom 2.2.1 based rom.
CWM recovery is also installed.
I'd like to know if I can flash a stock rom via recovery.

You need Odin/heimdall to flash a stock ROM. Look in the development section stickies, or do an official update
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate

So if I downloaded I897UCKJ2.rar I can only flash it via ODIN ?

You are on Froyo bootloader...with froyo rom...for GB roms u have to flash GB bootloader...there is a whole thread in Dev section with different options to flash GB...I would suggest flash KK4 with bootloader and then Kernel with CWM built in...and u will be good...NOTE: Falshing bootloader might brick your phone...but u just have to do it once...

If you just want the latest "stock" gingerbread you can just use the samsung kies mini to get kk4 and it will give you bootloaders and the stock rom

custom ics to custom gb

hello guys ... i need a help to flash this rom ... but situation is.....
first i am with stock 2.3.6 and then ota updated to ics ... then rooted and by mobile odin i used to flash speedmood kernal ...
so i am with ics ...then i flashed a ics custom rom by using abyss kernal...
now i am with custom ics firmware... so can i flash this gb custom rom ???
if yes how ??? like again using abyss kernal...full wipe and flash any custom gb rom ?
switcing from custom ics to gb will give problem

Which ICS custom ROM are you on?
You can use PC Odin to go back to Gingerbread and then root it and flash a custom GB rom.
Or you can flash Abyss and then reboot recovery and flash a gingerbread custom rom. If you aren't on a stock ICS rom, you can probably just flash gingerbread rom from CWM (like if you are using CM9, franco kernel, or speedmod kernel).

This rom uses an unsafe kernel but for now there is no evidence that a kernel flash can hardbrick the phone. However, I think it's safer flash a secure one (like last speedmod or franco's which should be safe) with odin or mobile odin (extract the .zip until you have te zimage, then flash it), then flash a GB rom.
Otherwise, you can still flash a GB stock rom DIRECTLY ROOTABLE with odin (or MO), then obtain root + cwm and finally flash a gb custom rom with cwm safely.

Gingerbread custom ROMs
Hello Friends, I have asked this question before in another thread but unfortunately there have been no responses.
What are the various Gingerbread custom ROMs available for the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000? CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread but unfortunately the Galaxy Note is not officially supported.
I am presently on stock Gingerbread and I will be rooting my device in the coming few days. Having played around with stock Gingerbread, I would like to do the same with custom Gingerbread firmwares.
One more query, considering my current Android version is 2.3.6, am I subjected to using a custom ROM which is 2.3.6 or am I free to use any 2.3.x based?
I humbly request you all to respond to these queries of mine. Awaiting your apt replies.

Yes..Hydracore is safe..you can also flash abyss kernel..

the phone won't boot if u install hydracore. why do you want to flash a kernel? to go to stock you need to use pc odin.

Rocketrom comes with philz kernel and it is brickfree..So you can directly flash gb rom using pc odin
Hydracore doesnt work with leaked jb roms

when using pc odin, it doesn't require you to be on a safe kernel

its possible to returen to ics stock from jb? i looked and the guide says that you have to be on gb and from there flash ics

pc odin can flash stock rom on the phone no matter what rom you are on.

are you sure?the guide says the you have to be on gb first,so just to put the tar file in pda?
?

You can flash ics directly from jb..but i guess you will get a bootloop
You can flash a safe kernel,then do a factory reset and it boots up successfully

iam confused ...so now flash the hydra 7 do wipe data and flash from odin?

Use PC Odin to flash stock ICS directly. No intermediate steps, like flashing a custom kernel or going back to GB, are needed.

I guess he gets a bootloop after he flash ics..and he need to flash a safe kernel to do wipes..isnt it??

May be, but that's a step after flashing ics. I don't know why op wants to flash hydracore before using pc odin

too many ideas.i afraid to try it.

there are not many ideas.
All comes to one. Don't confuse yourself
put phone in download mode
connect to pc
open odin and select the rom file in the pda tab
flash
once done, don't do any wipes till you install a safe kernel

What kernel do you have? by the way there is official JB now
You can use PC odin to install ICS stock.. but will beed wipes before that so make sure you have safe kernel ..

I have philz kernel. So can i just flash stock ICS rom over jb rom?

if you have philz kernel.. first boot into recovery and .. then Philz settings > clean before new rom install...
once done.. choose advanced and reboot download
this will put the phone in download mode.. connect to pc and flash rom using odin

Ok thanks i will try

Ok.. by the way there is official JB now.. why you going to ICS?

Maybe I'm or i just I don't know something but you say I can just flash official firmware over leaked version yes?

yes. but its recommended to perform wipes
