Something is seriously b0rked in your system, so I'd advise you to go
back to rooted stock like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
You'll have full root after that, and your CWMR will be fully functional.

For now my phone is useable, everything works but not cwmr.... Should i still need to get a new stock rom?
From what i read in the topic you link to me...
Does it del away my kernel and etc....?

[Q] Captivate won't enter download mode...

First time posting on Xda, but i've been browsing for awhile, nothing helped my scenario so I'm gonna post about it;
So recently I got a used Captivate I896 on ROGERS from my friend as he wasn't using it. Nothing was wrong with it, worked fine and I got the captivate when it had 2.2 stock FROYO. Through a bit of research and a different friend informing me, I figured out I could update it to stock 2.3.3 on rogers through Kies which I did. Everything was going well, phone did everything I needed it to on Gingerbread. Then... The same friend who told me about updating to 2.3.3, started talking to me about roms and rooting, this is when I found out about Xda. So for awhile I was looking into roms and trying to find a decent ICS rom to put on to my cappy as I saw countless videos on youtube and threads here on Xda of people running ICS with few problems. So... with my friend's help I took the bull by the horns and successfully rooted my cappy on 2.3.3. Downloaded Rom manager.. and then we figured out it wasnt supported for the captivate so I flashed the CornKernel which got me the correct version of CWM. This is where everything started to go downhill... We found TeamHacksung's ICS rom for the cappy on youtube. I downloaded the files onto my device, made a backup, and booted into CWM. Everything was going smooth, we wiped the phone, did everything correctly from the video instructions and then went for the reboot. It booted but... Soon after it started to bootloop. At this point I was panicking as it was my current phone I was using. I managed to get it back into CWM and we tried the files again... Same result in a bootloop. Oh, might i mention, the Backup file didn't work for some reason. Maybe I did something wrong? But anyways, at this point I thought I was bricked as the phone would only Bootloop. Talking to my friend on skype, he linked me "Odin" I had heard about it at the time but I was unaware of what it could do. He then linked me "How to get Samsung Captivate into Download mode" which i followed the steps and got my device into download mode and restored it using Odin. It was a successful restore, it worked... but... As I mentioned before, had the rogers boot screens and it WAS an I896.. but when i rebooted the phone it was now running 2.1 Eclair with At&t boot screens and it now thinks its a I897. At this point I was like, I'll just use it for awhile and hopefully we can try this again soon as it was getting late and I needed my phone the next day. After about a week of using Eclair, I was ABSOLUTELY sick of it, everything felt outdated and old. So I looked into flashing my phone back to either stock 2.2 or stock 2.3.3 OR even all the way to ICS. Then bad things started happening again... Whatever my friend linked me to restore my phone using Odin it left me with this:
Model number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 <---(Was I896)
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: I897UCJF6
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number: ECLAIR
None of this seemed right to me, which now, I THINK it's not right. I tried all button combos to get it back into download mode to possibly flash 2.2 or 2.3.3 again... But NOTHING, download mode won't work after all that, which it did in the past otherwise I wouldn't have this problem right now. So I decided to Root my phone again, which I successfully did through a OneClick method (Forget which one I used). I decided maybe I could download ROM manager on the market, seeing as my phone is outdated and I can't use Google Play. Soon I found out Rom manager (Atleast the free version) doesn't exist on the Market. I tried 3rd party websites like 4shared to download it but Eclair has no options to allow untrusted sources. ALSO, I tried settling for Kies and Kies Mini, both of which recognize my phone as a "unregistered device" even though I used Kies in the first place. I feel i've dug myself into quite the hole now, so sick of this phone at this point
P.S. I've debated making a Jig to force it into Download mode... but would this be the solution? And if so, what could i use to flash back to stock? AND sorry about the long post, I wanted to include as much info as I possibly knew about my phone.
I feel I should mention again, the phone DOES work, but I'm sick of Eclair and I would like to get back to stock. Please help, anything would be great at this point.
Thanks

You really shouldn't flash back to eclair for that reason. You should update to gingerbread with bootloaders. To get download mode, you will need either a jig or adb reboot download.

Okay, I'll go buy resistors to make a jig sometime this week. But if I did, what should I use to flash 2.3.3 gingerbread? And which stock rom should I use?

Well, depends what you're looking for. If you want to be on the latest, and not the greatest, I would choose any of the ICS roms. The Collective has some good stuff, and so does Cyanogen. CM10 is updated "daily" where I'm not sure what the Collective's release schedule is. You'll find that both of those are "laggy" though, as that's been my experience. I had CM9 ICS on my Captivate and it was certainly a good "daily driver".

I was looking into Jellybean.. But I'm not sure. Is CM9 a good choice? Cause I've been look at it, and considering it? Can you link me to CM9?

Honestly, you could go either way. Generally, I felt like CM10 ran a bit slower, but that may have changed with the recent partition change. If you want the latest and most up to date, go with CM10. CM9 may perform better but it won't get new features. It's up to you to decide which you like better. You can find nightly threads for both in the development section.

In the development section, is the thread by illuminatedone the correct thread? Cause it's the only stock rom thread I could find. And can I ask what Nightly means?

The fourth post in that thread links to the Rogers one.
Nightly builds are built almost everyday by the buildbot, and they contain all the latest changes. They are generally considered to be less stable than the stable releases.

Hello again everyone in the Q/A cappy forums. I know ive had the questions i needed answered in this thread but... I've yet to flash my cappy back to stock 2.3.3 rogers cause ive been reading about bootloaders and ive just been scared to do it. How do i find out about the bootloaders on my phone and are they nessessary? Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

U have bootloaders on ur phone regardless.
If u r running eclair/froyo, then u have those bootloaders. If u r running gingerbread, then u have those gb bootloaders. Simple as that.
If u try to run a gb firmware on ur phone and u have a really bad pixelated screen when it boots up then u r trying to run a gb firmware with eclair/froyo bootloders. U need gb boots to run gb firmware.
If u have a running gb firmware on ur phone then u have gb bootloaders... Also they are backwards compatible and u don't need to flash bootloaders again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium

Im currently running eclair, but i was on stock gingerbread before this whole mess. Does that mean i still have gb bootloaders or what...?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

That depends on whether the eclair firmware that u used contained bootloaders or not...

It wan't send u any notification cause you'r rooted and u have -#su shell active so nothing official untill u flash stock ICS kernel and wait for update.

So you are saying that while rooted i will jpt get any official samsung updates? If i want official updates i must unroot is tuat correct? Or can i still update through kies. Getting confused now. Please help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

for the pass rooted phone still able to update via kies.
now not sure ！still waiting for official 4.1.2 then will know the result.

Ok thanks. I guess its a waiting game as i heard n7000 get the 4.2.1 update sometime march.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

even though the phone is rooted or even a custom kernel is installed, kies detects the firmware and check if there is an update or not.. so it will let us know.. nothing to do with su shell and all.
kies will let you update as well.. but OTA wont work on rooted and custom recovery installed devices.

Ok great thanks. I shall have to wait which is something im not good at.

3 days ago I flashed ICS 4.0.3, rooted it with Philz kernel and attacked it to PC, opened keis, keis not only detected my phone, but also asked if I want to install new updates I accepted the offer, keis then upgraded my ROM to ICS 4.0.4, but I lost root. Super Su was there but Philz CWMR was replaced by stock recovery and Titanium backup told me to get out as my phone was not rooted. So I flashed Philz Rooted kernel again and got root access once again.
So, Yes keis will ask you to update firmware if one is there, but you "may" lose root.

Thank you that is very useful info. I'm already on 4.0.4 so will await the next update. Been informed that note n7000 users will get 4.2.1 sometime in March.

Hi another daft question. Phone was rooted when bought. I have installed rom tool manager from market and am using to alter my status bar. I have installed the ones I want and now assume I have to flash them to get them to take effect. When I go to do this its asking me what name my recovery mode is. How do I find this out. Thanks in advance.

It is for the p925 thrill. It can be updated straight from lg. It's official. Not sure on the root. Hopefully there are still a couple devs around to at least root, deodex and zipalign the official.

The same All in Ones still work to flash the bootloaders and recovery.

Guys,
I'm on xbsa vx3d (custom ROM based on v30b).
I have a quick question for people with official ROM:
Do you have fancy 4G symbol all the time? I.e. before I used to have 3G when I was on 3G and H for HDSA (or whatever it's called). Now I have 4G all the time....
I remember long time ago, when we just got gingerbread some guy made a patch to show actual speed - 3G or H. That was nice...
Thanks!

Flash wkpark's bootloader from the o3d threads. From there, flash recovery, and then flash a superuser zip.
If no one beats me to it, I can upload a deodexed stock ROM this weekend.

YES, the bootloaders you will flash are unlocked, making it able to have the custom recovery installed. Installed the new 4.0.4 on my Thrill last night but did not try to root. Will be rooting tonight, I'll let you know how it goes.

I did use his tool. It was a little easier to understand than the original. When it says wait five seconds, count to five then put your battery back in. If you do it correctly it will vibrate when you insert it. If not, then re start the procedure. From here you can install the WKparks bootloaders and custom recovery. I installed the TWRP recovery manager, I like it way better than CWM. Easier to use IMO. After you install the recovery boot into it and make a backup. Install the Su_Bbox zip file on your SD card then boot back into recovery and install the zip. Voila! You are now rooted. Or save yourself a step and put it on your SD card before that. Lol. I am now rooted. I hope this helps ya.
