This... 【Guide】How To flash ANY Captivate ROM from Stock (including ICS)

Okay well to put it simply, just flash a GB kernel like speedmod through ODIN, download the stock KK4 at&t rom (I think there's a full dump of it in the previous post), and flash it through CWM once both of those steps are done. If you want your kernel to be back to stock, then find the stock KK4 kernel and flash that .tar file through ODIN as well after you've done the last two steps outlined. An alternative to that would be Heimdall one-click to stock KK4 package which would totally put it back to stock.

Ok so if i flash back to stock and i want to flash apex or pinnacle i need to be on gb bootloaders, which one? Links... And i need to flash the correct kernal? Boogs kh3 can someone advise me. I watch youtube clips from mobile tech and the process is flash the BL first then kernal then flash the zip from CWM. Some of the rom threads seem vague on the steps in flashing bootloaders and kernals. I have flashed cm7 and im on cognition now but i want to try some other GB roms for my i897 after i use odin to flash back to jf6.

does not matter what kernel you flash after you flash the bootloaders. it is temporary and just used for cwm. any rom you flash after the kernel will have its own compatible kernel included.
the I897 GB bootloaders are just a click away
Hello all,
I am on DARKYROM JVR and would like to install DGs KJ3 ROM
What should I do?
Install the one with bootloader or one without?
Is there any steps to don before installing the stock?
Please help
Yes. Be mindful that JVR is an i9000 rom and KJ3 is an I897 rom. Mixing kernels can be hazardous to your phones health.
Cognition is no longer supported. There are other good KJ3 roms that are supported. Try one of those instead.

Thanks for your quick reply
Actually I am willing to install one of DG Stock in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843&highlight=bootloader&page=11
So what should I do? go ahead and flash the KJ3 directly?
I am not sure if u can directly go to i897 bootloader...might wait for someone more experience
but to make sure i dont mess anything I normally flash back to JF6...and then flash one click I897UCKJ3 with bootlaoder then Boog's kernal for Kj3...and then just flash rom.zip through CWM...
If you're using Odin to flash an entire firmware it doesn't matter what is on your phone before the flash.
If Odin will overwrite your current set up to flash jf6 why wouldn't do the same for a different firmware?
I tried flashing a gb boot loader from ics and it didn't work so I flashed back to stock gingerbread 2.3.4. I tried rooting my phone like I did when I was on froyo but it didn't work..I can't find any other methods.. any links that could help?
You have to use a kernel swap method, our flash Boogs kernel which has a root option in cwm.
You flash the fugu root mod with Odin, which is a kernel.
Then flash the stock kernel with Odin.
You could also install the Corn Kernel and use the CWM options to install root. From there you can choose whether you want to keep running the Corn Kernel or flash back to stock.
If you're just going to go back to ICS, you don't need root

I use Odin one click first then. Odin 1.7 to flash speed kernel use CMW from it to Flash GB or ICS ROMs.

Or better yet, Odin to KK4, let boot until your passed the 3G screen, Odin the Talon kernel, boot to CWM recovery, and then flash your selected ICS ROM... (don't flash the ICS kernel first... it will cause problems... I found out the hard way)

if you don't want to do kernel swap or any flashing you can install superoneclick on you PC and then connect your mobile and click on root button on superoneclick and your crappy will get rooted
I rooted mine crappy running gb with soc about 3 months ago

I started out trying to go from some 2.x rom (May have been Serendipity) to the CM10 v4 (JB), which worked fine. I stayed on the v4 for a few days, then v6 came out and I tried to update to that. I got Status 7 errors no matter what I did (redownloaded rom several times, did everything I could think of and everything suggested in other threads), so I gave up on that and decided to just go back to GB. All stock roms I've flashed through Odin have worked just fine.
So, I flash UCKJ3 (stock GB 2.3.5) with bootloaders using Odin, but the recovery on that version doesn't let me switch over to CWM for some reason, so I use Odin to go back to UCJF6 (stock Eclair 2.1) without bootloaders and use the recovery there to switch to CWM. Now I'm in CWM and trying to flash KK4 Legend 5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391192), and it all goes fine. I reboot and get the Corn Kernel loading screen, the loading bar fills... and then it freezes on that screen.
I then flash back to stocks using the same process and flash the MPD version of KK4 Legend 5, same problem. I also tried flashing Corn Kernel 7.0A, rather than 7.06 which comes with the rom. Some people said that helped, but it didn't.
Okay, I'll just use a different rom. I figured since I was using Serendipity before, I'll try that. I download 6.4, and flash back to stock UCJF6, like the instructions say to, then install Serendipity through CWM. It "boots" to a black screen with the bottom four buttons lit up.
Am I doing something wrong that is causing these roms to fail?
Edit: I am now using Odin to flash UCKJ3 (stock GB 2.3.5) with bootloaders, then using Odin to flash the kernel with CWM. When I install KK4 Legend 5 from that CWM, it bootloops when the loading bar gets to the middle.
Perplexing.
That kj3 Odin package must not be Re-partitioning...
Try using one of the i897ucKK4 One Clicks in my post here... Stock i897ucKK4, Odin or Heimdall, Full Wipe, Re-partition, with or without GB Bootloaders .
This should get u takin care of. No need to flash the ones with gb bootloaders if u already have them installed. Once u r on kk4, then Odin flash the KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A and go from there to install Dev Rom.

From what I rember that kj3 package does not do a repartition. Its great if you don't need the repartition cause it has a cwm kernel baked in. But coming from an ICS ROM you will need the repartition found in the one click previously mentioned because ICS uses a different partition table.
Ok so using Odin oneclick to unbrick my semibrick samsung captivate its all set and good, but then i root it. Thats successful as well, but then i try to use odin 3.07 to install the GB Kernel after installing the rooted MUGU into it and when my phone boots it INSTANTLY glitches and i have to go back to Odin oneclick to bring it back to 2.1 which i believe is Eclair.
Any help would be appreciative and thank you
I believe ur problem is that u r trying to flash a GB kernel on Eclair firmware. So...
Update to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread here...Stock GB i897ucKK4
You will need to use a one click with the GB Bootloaders. Heed all warnings about flashing BLs. U do not want to break the connection during the few seconds that the bootloaders are being flashed, i.e. power, usb/micro usb cable. And once u have flashed the Stock GB KK4 one click with bootloaders, there is no need for u to flash back to stock eclair with its bootloaders. If u ever need to flash back to a Stock firmware to fix something or whatever, just use one of the KK4 one clicks without the bootloaders included.
Get Root and/or KK4 Corn Kernel that has CWM Recovery included so that u can move on to flashing Dev Roms here...[Utility] KK4 Easy Root. See post 4 in this thread for a working download link.
Read carefully. Read some more. Understand what ur doing and the risks involved. Proceed. Enjoy. Be sure to at least hit the Dev's thanks buttons because they have worked hard and spent a lot of time doing what they do.
Ok so if i remember correctly(i am not on my comouter right now) odin 3.07 has a BL slot and the PDA slot. If i input the GB BL into the BL slot and the KK4 into the kernel slot would i be able to run them under the same odin setup or would i have to run the BL restart my phone into download mode and THEN run it again? Sorry im a huge noob when it comes to flashing, i onlt found out about it from my stepdad who put Darkstar on his Note
