Can I install CM10 to samsung captivate without rooting the phone first.?? my daughter phone is not rooted.
Thanks
Yep.
See TRusselo's Flashing Guide that is a Stickied thread in the Q & A Forum. And b sure to follow any install instructions in the cm10 thread.
There is no need to get Root in order to flash a Dev Rom. U may need i897 GB Bootloaders though...check with cm10.

Hi all,
I own a Galaxy Tab P1000 bought in UK and not sim locked.
I bought it in Carphone Warehouse.
Now I wonder if I can install ICS on my Tab.
I know nothing about kernels in general so please do not come up with install this kernel, that kernel.
I have a stock 2.3.3 ROM updated via Kies and I rooted it.
I just want to keep all my features working on my Tab (camera, data, voice and so on) after the upgrade so I am not interested if some stuff is not working.
If these requirements are met I wish you could come up with an upgrade procedure for dummies with the link to all files needed.
Again I know nothing about kernels so please try to explain what I am gonna do.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Federico.
Well, too bad.
Samsung won't make ICS for this tab, so no L
kies update for you.
And yeah, we all will tell you to install a kernel+cwm to flash it.
And no spoon feeding either...
Go to overcome site

Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.

Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.
Links are easy to find in their individual thread.
Come back here after you have overcome rom, come back here and I am willing to guide you further.

The 2 roms you are talking about have all features working?

Camera, data, voice call
Yes, both cm9 and AOKP can do that.

I am reading some information. It looks like there are stability problems with custom roms. Endless loops with one. Wifi disconnecting on the other. When I was using a sony ericsson x10 I used to install custom roms. Just all had bugs and I always went back to stock. Thing is that the tab is more complicated and I am not willing to brick it either.

P.S. Cwm is already installed on my tab. Just not the kernel.

You need cwm 5.x to be successful I think.
Btw, gtab is quite hard to brick, as long as you didn't screw up the boot loader.

Steps should be to:
- Install GB-stock-safe-v5.zip (Odin) (I have 1.85 is that ok?)
- Install Overcome 4.0.0 Kernel (Odin) (I have 1.85 is that ok?)
- Install Overcome 4.1 ROM wipe (via CWM, should I use wipe or no wipe?)
Once I am done with that I can use CWM to install an ICS ROM if I wish.
I think I got this correctly didn't I?
Ok, I am now lost about which specific ROM to try. CM seems more stable but is there any specific release (more stable) that I should be looking for? Could anyone please link a post to a stable ICS CM release for my tab?
this is my first post in this section ..........I have rooted my cappy using this method forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680048 and everything is fine and it installed corn kernel and there is an option to revert back to stock but it is not working anyway I can live with it ........and I will flash jb roms after some time my question is I have a corn kernel along cwm is this normal? am I good to go and flash other rom directly by placing zip in SD card?
Yep. U r good to flash per the Rom that u choose OP's install instructions.
And yep. Corn Kernel has the CWM Recovery "baked in". That is the norm.
Also there is a Guide for flashing by TRusselo that is a stickied thread in this q & a forum that may prove helpful to ya.

Hi I have P1000XXPJZ with 2.3.6root, and I want to flash CM9/10 what kernel/cwm would you recommend me to flash?
You mean you have root but you don't have cwm recovery?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
yes, I have root on this stock 2.3.6 and now i want to flash CWM and then CM9 or CM10
Please read the stickied threads like this one before posting in the wrong section as they're there to give you guidance. Questions belong in the Q&A sub-forum.
Thanks

oh sorry, i forget it.
The best method is still using overcome method.
link is in my signature.
Read the PDF.
Restock using GB stock safe v5 first, then flash overcome kernel.
That gives you cwm.

first of all thanks to all xda has always helped me
my captivate had installed CM 10 something happened and I had to flash with odin and return to a 2.3.3 rom now I want to go back to CM but I need help, I honestly do not know which I have bootloaders (sorry if this is a dumb question) is not as back to have CM on my phone please someone to tell me the link to a guide or tell me the steps.
If you were on CM10 before then you should already have the correct boot loaders. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266 this is a good tutorial that has all the steps needed.

You flashed Gingerbread, therefore you must have gingerbread bootloaders.

guys i need help, are there any risks downgrading from ics to gb? i could use odin anytime but as i am new to p1000 i need more information risk free before i proceed . ive heard this tab is prone to hard brick when downgrading.
Not true.
I did it a few dozen times.
If P1000, safest is to use overcome method.
Follow my signature, download gb-stock-safe-v5 and PDF guide, and overcome kernel.
Turn to page 7 and follow that to restock to GB first.
Then follow the guide to flash overcome kernel to get CWM.
then use cwm to flash ICS or restore old nandroid backup.
