GB to ICS - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys. my friend has a rogers samsung captivate I896 running stock 2.3.3 . since he saw how i installed custom rom on my xperia play i thought i would install ics for him. i found this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592141 . i am just wondering if i have to flash a ics kernel like how i have to do with my fone. or can i just follow the exact instructions in the link.
i might sound like a noob its just because im not used to samsungs and i recently softbricked my phone because somebody who posted a rom for my fone never mentioned having to flash a kernel, and i dont want that to happen with his
thx in advance guys

yup, root with super one click and install CWM through Rom manager app in the Play store.
You may run into recovery 3e problems, where your install of update.zip gets denied because of signature verification failure; where, in that case you will need to use Odin to flash a kernel with CWM included.
let me know if you have any problems.

so first i try to flash without kernel? and if it gets denied i use odin and flash kernel then go back to CWM flash zip?

Why not just use TRusselo's Guide ?? ---- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19425513&postcount=1

[Q] clockwork and voodoo kernel issue

Hello.
So i've got a problem with my I9000.
I've upgraded it to froyo, official release, so i'm stuck with the 3e recovery.I recently flashed the voodoo lagfix kernel via Odin. I would like to get clockwork recovery to replace 3e, but I understand i have to flash it via Odin, too. My question is : Is clockwork's kernel going to replace voodoo? If so, how can i have them both?
Thanks a lot in advance.
if you upgrade offical froyo then u must first do a root..the root files can be find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108...download correct root for your firmwire phone...then flash it tru odin..when u done with that u must download a rom manager from market...and install it to get clockwork mode =)
I wouldn't follow the previous poster's advice.
If you're going to use cwm, why do you want stock firmware? Try flashing speedmod kernel to get cwm, which has built in root and lagfix accesable from recovery. Or just go to a custom fw like docrom kitchen.
Best procedure for going custom with the sgs is a single flash of speedmod w/ cwm from odin, and then flash anything else via cwm.

how to root and install cwm

guys i really think i tried it all, CF-ROOT doesnt have the files for me (I have JIJVG)
and i also tried flashing using update.zip through stock recovery but it is <3e> recovery meaning I cant install zip files.... wtf can I do? I have another SGS which has ICS on it because i rooted it like a year ago but now I cant find a way for this new phone.... thx in advance
So... this is a I9000 with GB firmware? Just flash a GB kernel using Odin.

(Q) Quick Guide on CM9 installation process

sup xda!?
I was trying to ask for this in the General Thread for CM9 but only found trouble..
After looking through the thread for over an hour, I still couldn't find a comprehensive guide on how to install CM9 on my device..
I know that you need PC-Odin for it, you need gapps and of course the zip of the ROM, but I just can't figure out what to flash, what Kernel to flash and how to..
As I saw many people asking about this, I think it would be greatly appreciated if one of you pros could spare the -minutes- it takes to give us noobs some info..
I am currently on the latest Stunner build and on the LP6-Kernel..
thanks for any help! peace
EDIT:
ok, copperdawgnc sent me to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and told me:
"This will show you how to use PC ODIN & has GB roms to download"
so it seems that we need to use PC-Odin, as expected, and install a GB Rom first..
I know how to use Odin a bit but I still don't know what to install..
what Kernel, which ROM, any ROM? and do I really have to flash an unrooted stock and re-root..? why is that necessary?
p
Maybe this can be of some help:

thanks!
so, it should go like this:
1 get ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000XXLC1 (Europe) or ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000DXLC2 (Malaysia)
2 install via PC-Odin
2.1 get PIT file and choose the 3 (?) files mentioned in the screenshot
3 after it's done: download Mobile ODIN
2. download CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5.zip
3. load CF-Root kernel using Mobile Odin
4. get back into recovery
5. wipe data
6. install cm9 and gapps
7. wipe
8. done?
seriously?
wouldn't it work if we only install the CF-Root-Kernel LC1 (?) and flash CM9 from there through Odin?
LC1 or some other Kernel?
thx
Thanks for posting this question, MrKancho. I can't help, but have the exact same situation myself, with imilka's CM9 rom. Just want to confirm that the installation method you outlined works without any problems before trying it myself.
Thx

You want to flash CM9 through Odin?
And how do you propose to flash a zip file using Odin?
:facepalm:
You flash CM9 and Gapps using CWMR.

[Q] How to install CWM recovery of Captivate?

I have tried to flash speedmod kernel and use CWM from there but when i try to flash a rom it doesnt work and when i try to reboot it gets stuck at the boot animation. is there a way you can install CWM recovery that actually works? also if you can find an app like SGS kernel flasher except that flashes roms instead? i have tried using ROM Manager to flash CWM but all that happens is it says successfully flashed CWM recovery then when i boot into recovery it goes into android recovery 3e.
Rooted Samsung Captivate i897
use one click back to stock
Hello, what I do every time im stuck is go back to stock KK4 using one click odin.
from there then I use Odin 1.85 to flash Korn kernel.
Korn kernel include cwm, from there you can install other Roms or kernels, or just root.
regards.

In addition to what Zestar suggested I would recommend the KK4 with boot loaders.

Would help to know what is your goal (flash rom, kernel, modem or simply having cwm recovery). There is a well written guide in the Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
But Zestar pretty much explained it. You'll need Odin 1.85 (which you will find in the guide) and a custom kernel (doesn't matter much which one as long as it supports cwm recovery). You have a lot of reading to do before jumping into this and I highly suggest it! I also bricked once outta being hasty, won't happen again
