[Q] ICS (or any other rom) won't install on my Samsung Captivate!

Hello. Well i have a big problem with my Captivate. All custom roms that i have tried (Cyanogen, MIUI, Cognition, Serendipity, and the ICS rom by teamhacksung) won't bother to install. I always flash back to stock 2.1 via Odin-1-Click, root it via Samsung Galaxy S 1 Click Root, and install the Hardcore Speedmod Kernel for Clockwork mod. I follow all the directions completely and with Cyanogen i always get a boot loop, and with all the others clockwork mod freezes while it is installing the rom. I thought it was taking it's time so i left it overnight to complete. About 8 hours later it was still at the same screen where it said "Installing Update." Can anyone help?

Does it boot to 2.1 ok? Have you Master Cleared?
Edit.... Why are you installing speedmods kernel? that is probably your problem right there

What do you recommend to install the roms? Odin restores the captivate back to stock perfectly without any problems.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Here's what I would do:
Odin1Click to stock
Master Clear
When the phone reboots, copy this and the ROM you want to flash to your SD card
Reboot into recovery, and select "install from zip"
Select the update.zip you just downloaded
It will cycle thru once, do it one more time, you'll then boot into CWM
Select to install from zip again, this time select your ROM
and you should be good to go

Flashing the kernel was getting you in bootloops.

Which ROM do you want to run? CM7/Miui/ICS are VERY simple, GB is a LITTLE bit more complicated, you have to flash the boot loaders first(and has a bit more risk of bricking too). With GB, just make sure you read very well, and fully understand what you need to do BEFORE you do it

I want to install the ics rom and thank you I will try to do this tomorrow and see if my problem is resolved

Make sure to do a Master Clear first. Save everything you want to keep on a ext SD, and back everything up. Master Clear will return the phone just like you got it from AT&T. It erases EVERYTHING
Also, I remove my SIM and ext SD before I M/C just to be safe

If you have any issues with the teamhacksung installation, go to the link in my signature to the Q&A thread, and you should be able to get help there.
Make sure you read the ROM thread OP well first.
It's a great ROM!

OK! Got any other tips so that I wont turn this into a 500$ paperweight?

Don't hit it with a brick?
When you are using Odin1Click make sure you don't disconnect your USB, or knock the battery out, make sure your battery is more than 50%(100 is best).
If you look under your battery, is there a tag with numbers like, 10.06, 10.07, 10.08 and so on there? If there is, what is yours?

It just says when the phone was built. Not to worry too much, if you've already Odin'ed back to stock you're probably good to go

I have a quick question regarding upgrading to ICS from GB. I'm running KK4. If I were to CWM to ICSSGS or TeamHacksungs ROM, could I just do an Odin oneclick back to KK4 if I don't like them (without problem of bricking)? I know the basics of flashing , just wanna make sure coming back to my stable ROM will be as easy as a 1click. Thanks!

I don't believe there is an Odin-one-Click for KK4 although i know there is a leaked Odin flashable version of KH3

There is a Heimdall One click to KK4 that I made.

Umm which one should i download? There is one with and the other without bootloaders!? I'm a noob to this....

I am the noob, IDK why I made two since Heimdall gives you the choice to flash bootloaders. Either is OK, short answer! I would do the Bootloader one just because if you ever need it, then you can flash BL's. If not then just uncheck the "Flash BL's box

[Fastboot Files] Droid 4 ICS (Blur_Version.6.16.217)

You can download Blur_Version.6.16.217.XT894.Verizon.en.US Droid 4 ICS firmware from here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/list.php
It will recover your phone if you soft-brick it on ICS.
BE AWARE THAT AFTER YOU FLASH ICS (either using OTA or FASTBOOT) THEN YOU CANNOT FLASH BACK GINGERBREAD (the phone will not boot until you flash back ICS)!!!
"FIRMWARE TEAM"

Well that was quick

Woow amazing my brother, Firmware TEAM

quick question, could we use this to move back to the upgrade path if running a leak? Could we fastboot (and how) to the official ICS if we are on a different leak
does it even matter if we are on the latest leak?

Leak .217 is the official version so if you are on that you don't have to do anything. Still on the upgrade path.
this "should" allow you to flash .217 no matter what version you are on....GB .215 or .219 or ICS .200-.217 though no one has tried it as far as I know...
While you can't flash the old GB fastboot files over ICS with success....you should be able to flash the ICS fastboot files over anything.

I ran this already on my D4, it was running .217 before, didn't lose any data, just had to re-root.
I wanted to make sure I had everything completely since I was going leak to leak before and didn't want my recovery partition or something else to be buggered in the future.

Anyone mind explaining how to flash stuff via fastboot on the droid 4? I've used fastboot on a kindle fire and droid incredible, but never on the D4. I'd hate to mess it up.
---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------
ok so I got the fastboot .exe. Do I just use the
Code:
moto-fastboot update <UPDATE-FILE-NAME>
command with the file linked to in the OP?

That's what I did. I didn't upgrade to 217 it self but used the kernel from 215 and 217 to see if they were any better, which I got better life from 217 for sure. I used moto-fastboot flash boot "Kernel.IMG" I think. I'm still running the 208 rom it self though, which I've had no problems out. Has anyone seen a notice in 217 over 208 BTW?

Ok sorry for the noob question but can someone explain to me how to flash this on my gf stock droid 4 she keeps asking me when she is going to get ics so I would like to flash this tonight if possible.
Can I use RSD Lite or does this only work with fast boot?

These are files that can be used to truly factory restore your phone. If you had a custom rom installed, this would put you back to stock.
You use Motorola's RSD Lite program to flash to your phone while it is in AP Fastboot mode.
This will work on locked bootloaders because they are signed files from Motorola meant for flashing in this way.
EDIT: As Pzyduck says above, these are official firmware not leaks

Don't flash AT&T on Bell or vice versa, you may get trapped because of secure versions.
(btw. I know, it's codenamed qinara, and not dinara, but meh, too lazy to fix it )

On 2 accounts we wouldn't be able to do this.
1) The phone will only take signed images for system in AP Fastboot. There are sig checks on flashing and on boot (we can assume this, we can test more obviously since we have FXZ backups).
I didn't want to test flashing a rooted system dd'd out before because we had no FXZ's to test. Now that we have them it might be worth it to try it out. Worst case use these FXZ.
Rooted system.img: you can get the entire partitions here which includes it: http://crackflasher.com/dev/mattlgroff/MB886.ATT.en.US/AtrixHdPartitions.zip
Be extra careful flashing things you do not have backups for...
2) The system.img.ext4 file inside of these are not only compressed, but appear to be encrypted as well.

Note 4 SM-N910T that keeps getting stuck in a boot loop

So i purchased a Note 4 SM-N910T about a year ago. It worked fine but last month shortly after the 5.1.1 update I did it started randomly restarting for no reason. First i taught it was Snapchat because I red somewhere that there are camera problems, so I stopped using it. But it kept restarting even after that. From then I have made a factory and a master reset, rooted the phone and even installed CM 12. No mater what i do it keeps on restarting. The only way to get it out of the boot loop is to connect it to a charger that is not a fast charger. Then it starts charging and works normally and you can do everything normally. After you remove it from the charger it works as long as you do not use it. When you start using it and want to do something with it it starts restarting again. I hope somebody can help me fix this issue. I have noticed that connecting it to WIFI makes it 100% sure that it will restart any moment. If you leave it without WIFI as long as you do not do anything big it will not restart. For example I watched series on my phone I downloaded beforehand. I was able to go to the CM 12 file manager and change series for the duration of my bus drive and it has not reset yet and it has not been connected to a charger for around 12 hours already.
My last resort is to wait 3 hours for the stupid free 5.0.1 official firmware and flash it using the TWRP Recovery or Odin. If that does not work I would have t give it to a service. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Also a link to where I can download the 5.0.1 official firmware for free in normal speed will be of greatly appreciated as well!
Merry Christmas!

That's odd, I recommend odin flashing the stock ROM and everything. (Modem + bootloader) the latest one is DOK2 for T-Mobile

To revive the thread I tried flashing the N910TUVU2DOK2_N910TTMB2DOK2_N910TUVU2DOK2_HOME.tar via Odin. It all went fine and after starting the phone it went on to the step where its optimizing apps. It got stuck there and it went back to the boot loop. I had reflash the CM 12 and TWRP Recovery and now I am back at 0. So my question is how should I flash the stock rom. Go to TWRP do a factory reset than turn the phone off and flash the stock rom via Odin? Should I also flash TWRP ans SuperSu after flashing the stock rom?
Thank you for your help!

I've been having the same problem for about a week and a half; it's super annoying. I was running Dynamic Pop on COG2 then yesterday I updated to DOK2 and flashed Maximum Overdrive... no improvement. It rarely even fully boots before freezing or rebooting.
My best guess as to what the problem is that it may be overheating because it tends to actually boot if I put it in the freezer while booting, but then it freezes soon after taking it out. I suppose it could also be internal memory corruption.
Either way, I'm getting ready to do a warranty exchange.

First focus on getting a clean stock firmware booted. Do what you mentioned above but don't flash TWRP or superSu until the stock ROM is stable. We need to narrow down the issues so do as few modifications as possible.

You may have messed up the partitions. There is a thread about the pit file you should check out.

I actually downloaded 2 stock roms for my Note 4. One was the COG2 and the other one was the completely stock firmware. I tried flashing them but Odin failed (Auth) whatever that means. The only stock rom I was able to flash was 5.1.1 but it wouldn't boot up so I had to install CM 12 again! I have no idea how to fix the phone. All I want is to return to 5.0.1 and delete any changes. The phone has no apps on it so i have nothing to loose but I do not know how to do it..

You cannot use 5.0.1 ROMs on DOK2 they will never boot and no down grading. You have to use 5.1.1 ROMs for now on.

This is exactly what is happening to my T-Mobile Note 4 (SM-N910T) and the thing that you did to your Canadian Note 4 is exactly what I want to do. But can I use the firmware you provided at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/ref-stock-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2920452
or must I use the T-Mobile ones and if I have to use the N910T firmware where can I get it so I can do what you did? A link or a thread would be amazing cause I really miss using my phone as normal!
