How to install from unknown sources on Eclair? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed to stock on my captivate, and this version doesn't appear to have the option to install from unknown sources (unlike in froyo and above). I need this in order to install clockwork mod. Can anyone help me? (I cannot access the free version on my version of stock market)

Why not upgrade to GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4 ? (see the Master Collection of Stock Rom One Clicks stickied thread in the Dev Forum)
Or if u r just tryin to flash a Dev Rom, see TRusselo's flashing Guide that is a stickied thread in the Q & A Forum.

Any ROM you get from this forum will have installation instructions. This is the best place to start.
Gingerbread has not been officially released yet so I doubt you will find any ROMs based on it. Most custom ROMs are based on JPU and JPY (both FroYo), but they do have some Gingerbread elements installed.

Nice to see galaxy have recovery and 3 button mode.
Both are working on my galaxy.
Very easy to install custom rom.
But Xperia x10 need to root then install recovery and then custom rom.

Best root method

Want to root this phone for my bro. Anyone here know a one click. I was browsing here and it said it was for froyo not gingerbread. He's on stock gingerbread and I want root so I can install ROM manager. Thanks in advance.

Even if you follow the threads linked above, you arent going to get very far with ROM Manager. they havent supported the captivate since it was on 2.1 eclair I believe. Learn to use ODIN.

I know how to use Odin I just couldn't find a thread to Odin cwm

-_- OMG I tried to be nice. You don't ODIN CWM. You ODIN a kernel that contains CWM injected into the kernel itself. I recommend CORN kernel and KK4 custom or stock ROM

I recommend you do a lot more reading of the resources available throughout the Captivate section before flashing anything, with ODIN or without.

[Q] Easiest way to CWM v3 -> v5

Hello everyone,
I had a quick search but couldn't find the answer so I do appologise if I missed it.
My current S has CWM v3 on it and I would like to upgrade it to v5.
What is the best way to do this? Thank you.
Flash a kernel with the CWM you want.
I see so it is that easy
Any urls to exactly which one I need and the way to do it - Really do not want to mess this phone up Thank you for your reply.
Well, assuming you are on Cyanogenmod 7.2, a gingerbread kernel would do.
[KERNEL] Semaphore 2.7.4 (CF-Root + Voodoo Snd v10 + OC/UV + BLN)
It comes with CWM v5.0.2.7
I am on stockginger bread rooted with cmw v3. Just got the phone. Does the fact I am not on CM 7.2 mean I need a different methoe? Thank you.

Is your phone a Galaxy Ace (s5850) or a Galaxy S (i9000)?
This is important because I've been giving you a link for i9000.

Just flash another kernel using odin. Devil is a good one to use. All the latest ones use cwm 5 but it doesn't reallty do anything the older one doesn't. I would stick to chainfire on Stock rom mate.
You have an i9000 with stock gingerbread.
Which version of GB?
Since you are on stock you'll be using ODIN to flash the kernel. Are you familiar with ODIN?
yes I have already gone this but the kernal was cwm v3 I need to find one with v5. And thank you for your replies and help
Sent from my M1001 using XDA
Well then, if you've flashed a kernel via ODIN before, then grab the kernel as suggested and flash it.
Check if CF-Root has cwm 5, I think it only goes to v3.

[Q] Rooting question

I have a stock GT-P1000, locked to Vodafone Portugal, with firmware 2.3.6, baseband P1000BUJQ1, kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 and the compilation number is GINGERBREAD.BUJQ3, can i root with CF-Root from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734) ? which file should i choose ? if not, how can i root this device ?
still can't find any rooting method compatible with my setup, been searching google and xda, and everyday i have more doubts about this ... any ideas ?
if you want to consider an alternative that most people use: overcome method.
the links are in my signature.
It is a two step process and will wipe your tab;
Download from the links 4 things:
-Gb-stock-safe-v5
-the guide (PDF)
- overcome kernel tar
Jump to guide page 7
Follow the picture to flash GB-stock-safe rom
after that, follow the picture to flash overcome kernel tar
and you will have CWM recovery.
You won't have root yet, but using cwm you can flash ICS or JB roms.

thanks for you suggestion, i've already seen overcome kernel and some of your posts, but i think this kernel isn't the most adequate for me, because it has too many mods. i want a kernel that is as close to the original as possible, like CF-Root kernel. Besides, i still don't know if i can flash the overcome kernel on top of what i have ...
Can't help you much, sorry.
I don't even know how the kernel mods in overcome affect me when I was using it.
I just use it it a while before moving to red pill kernel.
Again, I don't know what mods were in that, just like the stability, speed, and battery consumption.

Go to Here to read and find your answers. If you're still stuck, then ask again. Even though there a few custom roms that can be flashed through Odin, I suggest you avoid using it unless you want to flash stock firmwares.

Why would u choose 4.0 with all the emmc brick bug threat presents? Search the forum or google with the keyword "how to upgrade my N7000 from Gingerbread to Jellybean/ICS" n see what turns out.

Hello. Firstly, I'm sorry to say that I don't have much experience as mine came directly from ICS. I can suggest a long roundabout way which is to update your android vers. from GB To JB through Odin procedure first, then just flash philz safe kernel. and then flash any roms u want. Or if you just want stock JB, then u can download stock JB firmware n flash it through odin.
Edit : Go Here And watch the video and read. The link for the kernel provided includes CWM. After Installing CWM, you can directly flash philz safe kernel, reboot to recovery, do a clean wipe and formats (Follow OP of the rom you want to install)
