im running version 2.3.6 or v8 i did the root and upgrade from v7 reinstalled cwm and everything went great now im trying to install gingervolt 2.0 this is my first custom rom flash and i hope im missing something small but everything installs it asks for my language then it gives me a error for the sim card not installed i did wipe all data before installing. any help would be greatly appreciated so i don't have to miss out on all the fun. i know the sim is good if i reflash back to the stock rooted rom it works fine.
On V8 you need to flash broken out 1.1, not gingervolt. Gingervolt was for v7.
thanks i wasnt fast enough to get rid of this i just had to take a break from my reading and come back to it and i realized my stupid mistake thanks again

I'm posting here because I don't know what else to do, my phone freezes using any froyo rom. It happens randomly and sometimes will not happen until I reboot the phone, but it makes my phone pretty much unusable. I've tried the leaked froyo rom, BB, CM 6 1&2 and countless others. I've tried wiping data / cache and formating the SD card (worked until i put my music back on), and I'm about to just try stock 2.2 and exchange it for a new one if it wont work.
Anyone else have this problem that could help me?
One thing I didn't see you do...
Have you at all root your phone to install the desired froyo rom for your phone?
Yes I am rooted, I'm currently on CM 5.0.8 and very happy but I would really like to get froyo working.
Alright. This is what I've done to get Froyo working on my Droid: I rooted my phone, downloaded BB v4 and changed the name of the file to update, installed Rom Manager on my phone(then found out I can download the roms from here as well), reboot into recovery through rom manager, wiped data & cache, selected install zip, then selected reboot phone. It took a bit to register but it converted over with BB v4.
I think I've found my problem
droidforums.net/forum/tech-issues-bug-reports-suggestions/67526-music-sd-card-causes-bb-4-freeze.html
this sounds like my exact problem, I'm going to look through my library and see if there is a corrupt file then try again
Hopefully that is the source of the issue and that'll be solved quickly. Good luck to ya
Hi, my first post..
so i read some and rooted my captivate, flashed it to Cognition 2.3b7 and since then my wifi stopped working...
I am guessing I can flash with another ROM ?
and don't have to go back to stock build??
if so which rom should I go with? I like the Gingerbread look and feel but open to try others...this phone is new and I don't have to worry about files/information yet.
thanks for your help
First, welcome to XDA, but...wrong section, this belongs in Q&A not development.
Mods please move.
You want to flash stock using odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Don't try to flash another rom directly on top, you will compound the problem.
Have you tried reboot on your phone
If you are lost you can pm me

You should have an update zip on your sd from rom manager/clockwork. Take this fille, and save it to your pc, our external sd. When you are on stock put it back on your internal sd, boot into recovery, reinstall packages twice, you will have clockwork recovery. Youcan flash roms from here without root.
I am not sure your problem was from cognition, maybe a bad flash. I am using assonance, so far so good but I have not been on it for long, axura is nice as well.
I would also suggest that you do a master clear after odin, make sure you are not keeping any troubled files. Make sure you backup anything you do not want erased to your oc or external sd
Remove sim and external sd before odin, master clear, or rom flash. Suggested not to flash roms with usb plugged in. always best to flash with full bat

Well, If you are going to flash trough CWM then no, you dont need to root again because you dont need to root to use CWM. Just make sure you keep the CWM update.zip on your sdcard boot into recovery and choose reinstall packages and you will boot into CWM.
And about the ROM. Well, you could try Cognition2.3b6, Perception8 or Assonance. I heard Cog has better battery life than Perc but Perc is faster, also the main diference is that Perc is based on i9000 ROM and Cog is based on Captivate ROM. I really dont know anything about Assonance escept that people say it's good.
If you are looking for another ROM, consider Assonance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856877

Hi guys. First post so hope I don't look like an idiot!
Flashed Cognition v2.3b6 2 weeks ago but had to go back to stock 2.1 jh6 reason being while @ home I can connect to my protected wifi network with no problem but if I try to
use an open wifi network say at Denny's or an AT&T hotspot my wifi just loops and no hook up! {N/G} Have to switch back to 3G to get to on the net. After flash back to stock no wifi problems anywhere. Yesterday, 12/22/2010, flash to new Cognition v2.3b8. After flash went to Denny's and wifi N/G! Am I alone here or is anyone else having this problem? Flashed back to stock and today did Kies mini update to jh7, AOK! Went back to Denny's and had no problems connecting to wifi??????????????????
I have been reading the forum but am a basic noob and am confused. Basically I have a used Revo that already has ZV7 on it that I rooted, everything fine there. The question is can I install GingerVolt 1.3 on here without backing down to a stock rom. I know I have to delete data & cache just want to make sure that if I install GingerVolt on top of the current Rom I don't brick the phone.
Thanks
If you have not put gingervolt on yet you are on the stock V7 gingerbread. All you need to do is get gingervolt on the sd card make a backup in cwm then wipe data, cache, and dalvik flash the rom then wipe cache and dalvik and reboot. All you need to do is read the gingervolt thread all answers to flash are in there.
GINGERVOLTED!
Thanks
Thanks Indyred99, that is basically what I did. I had a Droid Inc before this and I was romming it on a regular basis but some of the post on here confused me a little with the wording and I wanted to make sure I did it correct.
Gave you a Big THANKS . I am now GINGERVOLTED and customizing it now....
One last question what is a good safe Kernal to put on
There is only the one kernel. Blitzkreig.
GINGERVOLTED!
THANKS Again;
I will look that up tonight when I get home.

hello
im on 2.3.6 now and fancy a change because when i click phone or messages it keeps closing and its starting to do my head in.
which rom should i go for?
could you guys point me in the direction of a good guide were i can flash with odin.
iv flashed both my phones a few times but im still a noob
thanks guys/girls
CyanogenMod (7) was fairly simple to flash and it was my first rom on the phone. I'm currently on Team ICSSGS' rom -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
The latest release was pulled pending wifi fixes, but I'm using it and it's working great for me.
Just need to be rooted and running CWM to flash it.
was looking at that before
ill wait till they fix it and put it back up
how do i flash it.
i dont have a clue i only know how to use odin. and to be honest i think my 3 year old son could work it lol
does anyone know a good rom that i can flash with odin no messingvaround that looks something like this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460786&highlight=2+3+6
just looking for something a little different but stalble as well
I think for the majority of the roms now you need to be rooted and have CWM installed. CM7 is a very nice rom, and not hard to install. It runs 2.3.7 iirc, and worked great for me.
Wiki for installing:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
i flashed my phone with another rom but didnt like it so i flashed it back to the value pack 2.3.6 jvu and then rooted it with this http://www.androidauthority.com/root-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-android-2-3-6-xxjvu-48441/
but i cant uninstall all the stock apps with super manager app. last time i flashed it i could do it. but didnt use that guild and cant find it now.
so as its not rooted i cant flash with the one you have mentioned
is jvz better?
I never ran 2.3.6, I went right from a stock update at 2.3.1 (iirc) to the 2.3.7 in CM7. You should just install CWM using Odin, do a full backup using Titanium Backup and a Nandroid backup in CWM. Then flash anything you want to try.
Also, for backing up contacts, I've read not to use Titanium, use an SMS/Contacts Backup... Titanium has worked for me though.
Not bothered about backing my stuff up. only need my contacts there on kies
might try a flash with clocks recovery when i get home.
i like the rom im on but i doont have full root access as i cant delete atock apps like i could before. i need to delete them to change file format to exr4. says i dont have room if i don't delete them
I all ready have cwm so do.i.just download the cm7 zip file and extract it on my internal memory card then reboot into cwm and flash
Oops double post
Flashed it but it runs really really skow looks good tho.
search continues ha ha
Kies still connects to your phone with custom roms and such? I was lucky if it worked with the stock firmwares.
Did you do a full data wipe? CM7 ran pretty quick on my phone. Maybe try SetCPU to speed things up a little.
Titanium with root access can remove stock apps too.
ye i did a full wipe.
i tried clocking it to 1200 and still ran slow.
ICS ran a little slow as well.
flashed a few now with cwm getting quite addictive.
would like to try a few more but mega uploads comes up with some security thing saying its been removed blah blah blah
MegaUpload was shut down a little while ago now. Should be lots of Roms listed in the forums here, with active downloads I would hope.
so i noticed CM7 randomly restarted my phone twice and the second time it wont boot. i managed to get 2.2 stock on the phone but i cant install CWM to reflash. i rooted it and enabled nonmarket but idk what to do now. Rom manager is on now.
help is appreciated! Also does anyone know why this happened?
Thanks.
rom manager doesn't work for 2.2 on the captivate. You will want to flash a kernel with odin or heimdall that already has clockwork recovery baked into it. If you look through the sticky threads you will find the info you need.
Thanks, ill keep looking through the stickies. ive used cwm on my 2.2 when i had it stock the first time.
Of you manage to get cwm on your device, you should check out docs Master ROM. It's legit! The swype keyboard is freaking cool!

lets forget to tell him that half the drivers dont work in docs build..... he hasnt had enough time to iron out all the bugs yet.
Thanks for helping guys, I had backups of my SD cards from the past so i used an older update.zip with CWM on it and it worked! i was able to get my phone back to normal and its on the same cyanogen7.1. hopefully it wont happen again, this build is supposed to be stable!!! lol
