[Q] Need stock 2.1 rom without ODIN, please!

Hey everyone, I've searched and searched for a stock 2.1 rom for my captivate. Everything says to just use ODIN. Well, I have a mac, so that's not an option. Can someone please please point me to a download to a stock 2.1 rom that I can flash from Rom manager? I'd be VERY appreciative of it.
Thanks!

Search heimdall it us not as user friendly as odin, but if you get it working it will flash stock

I am not certain that you should of been trying to reparation. Flashing stock does not require this as far as I was informed by the dev who created heimdall

Odin one click does not fail. It is more likely user error.

im thinking odin 3 will work if i have the right kernel and stock rom

I have read that Odin fails for some trying to flash stock from CM7, maybe has to do with the drivers and the fact CM7 doesn't use Samsung code. Use Heimdall to flash back.
Also as someone has posted you need Gapps in order to use any of the Google apps. It's in the OP for the CM7 installation instructions. I think you can install Gapps through ROM Manager, I don’t use CM7 myself so I am not 100% sure about how you install Gapps.

At the bottom of the odin one click op there is 2 stock firmware packages. Try either of those...
They include rom and kernel.
And since you're on cm7 you might have to install google drivers.

[Q] Easiest way to CWM v3 -> v5

Hello everyone,
I had a quick search but couldn't find the answer so I do appologise if I missed it.
My current S has CWM v3 on it and I would like to upgrade it to v5.
What is the best way to do this? Thank you.

Flash a kernel with the CWM you want.

I see so it is that easy
Any urls to exactly which one I need and the way to do it - Really do not want to mess this phone up Thank you for your reply.

Well, assuming you are on Cyanogenmod 7.2, a gingerbread kernel would do.
[KERNEL] Semaphore 2.7.4 (CF-Root + Voodoo Snd v10 + OC/UV + BLN)
It comes with CWM v5.0.2.7

I am on stockginger bread rooted with cmw v3. Just got the phone. Does the fact I am not on CM 7.2 mean I need a different methoe? Thank you.

Is your phone a Galaxy Ace (s5850) or a Galaxy S (i9000)?
This is important because I've been giving you a link for i9000.

i9000 I still need to update my signature sorry

Just flash another kernel using odin. Devil is a good one to use. All the latest ones use cwm 5 but it doesn't reallty do anything the older one doesn't. I would stick to chainfire on Stock rom mate.

You have an i9000 with stock gingerbread.
Which version of GB?
Since you are on stock you'll be using ODIN to flash the kernel. Are you familiar with ODIN?

yes I have already gone this but the kernal was cwm v3 I need to find one with v5. And thank you for your replies and help
Sent from my M1001 using XDA

Well then, if you've flashed a kernel via ODIN before, then grab the kernel as suggested and flash it.
Check if CF-Root has cwm 5, I think it only goes to v3.

Please help- Urgent!

Hey guys, my friend has a i900 running 2.2.1 froyo. He hates how it is always freezing and wants me to root it and put CM9 on it. I swapped sim cards with him and did a nandroid on mine so i can restore after. So i have his phone
I was wondering is the process to get Cm9 running is the same as coming from gingerbread.(thats what my phone came with 2.3.4)
On mine i:
Flashed CF root with ODIN,
Booted into recovery and flashes Cm9 and an approprite kernel.
Just wondering if i can follow the same procedure as before. Help is appreciated, i dont want to mess this up.
Thanks.

Just upgrade to gingerbread using Odin...root with appropriate kernel using Odin...flash latest cm9 nightly in cwm...check out slim 4.1 as well.

All i need is recovery mode anyway.

I don't believe you can go to Cm9 from froyo...you maybe right but all the info you need is in the links I provided. I'm sure you'll find you're answer in the cm9 thread.
I gave it a quick look and it doesn't mention gingerbread. But if it were me I would since it might be more difficult to dig up a kernel for froyo

I don't actually need the kernel to boot though. I just a recovery to flash the Rom. Would that work?

You need gb bootloader to get onto cm9, as far as I'm aware, hence the need

I see you have an i9000m and on Virgin - franchisee of Bell.
Follow these instructions
[HOWTO] Flashing CWRecovery to i9000m & upgrade to ICS AOSP 4.x ROM from any version
Branch off to whatever ICS rom you want.
You'll definitely need to be using the cm7-kg3 modem for any ICS rom going forward. That means after every new ROM flash you'll have to flash the KG3 modem. Once you are upgrading within a ROM, you won't have to re-flash the modem each time.

If you use a firmware from the first link I gave you there are firmware. with bootloaders.
The links contain everything you need...firmware....kernel to get cwm....Cm9....and radio zip
×Slim Rom×

Thanks guys, im going for it pretty soon here. You guys are awesome.

For the first time in my life, kies just connected to a phone. I cant handle it. I think im gonna pass out in disbelieve.
Anyway... lol.
Can i just update to gingerbread kg3 from kies?

Yes, but you may have a difficult time finding a kernel with cwm for kg3.
×Slim Rom×

and now i cant get into recovery mode. Just download mode. I downloaded the stock firmware from samfirmware, and was gonna flash it with odin, but which file to i put it under? Its just a single tar ball
EDIT: For some reason i have to use power volume up AND down and home. Wierd.

I always use firmware from the link I gave you...just flash jw5 from link with 512 pit....then root with semaphore 2.7.4.tar from second link....easy.
×Slim Rom×

I will try that now. Cause im bootlooping with CF root.

After that you can flash cm9 in cwm...additionally slim 4.1...then slim common....then the Kg3 modem zip in cwm as well.

[Q] Need help rooting Samsung Captivate running GB

Hi,
I need help rooting my Samsung Captivate running Gingerbread 2.3.3 I896UXKH2

Now I tried to root it again using SuperOneClick 2.3.3, but it doesn't seems to be working.
Any ideas?

You could flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 for both root and cwm
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

Hey martin.y,
If u r just wanting to flash a Developer's Rom in the end...then just use TRussello's guide in the Q & A Forum. It is a stickied thread. Or simply do as BWolf56 stated above---Flash the KK4 Corn Kernel (.tar file version) through Odin3 v1.85 or similar (the kernel.tar goes in the PDA slot). Of course u should know that u r flashing that kernel from Download mode. Takes less than a couple minutes for the whole process. Reboot into the CWM Recovery that is included in the Corn Kernel and select to install ur Rom of choice that u should already have copied onto ur phone's internal sdcard. And prest-o change-o ! New Rom.
Or as BWolf56 stated above also, u can simply get Root through the CWM advanced menu options of the Corn Kernel. :good:
