clockwork mod
Did you figure your problem out yet? You have to flash a kernel w/cwm; Other than that, in my opinion clockwork mod is racist towards i897 (captivate) If your still struggling; let me know and I'll walk you through from start to finish! I'm newbie so I know how things may get frustrating at times. Oh and don't worry about me being a newbie; I learn quickly!

Yes I finally got it but it was a pain. I did what the link told me to and bricked my phone. Then I had to use Odin to bring it back to stock and my phone would not update from elcair. I then went to Samsung's website and downloaded the updates and tried to follow what the link above said and it worked. I am now on JB with no issues.
I bought this phone from craigslist and I think I bricked it because the phone was running eclair and I was trying to go straight to ICS.

Have you downloaded an official ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
not yet, im not sure where to get it from! lol
i only had the phone like a month or 2, and i broke it but got it replaced under the warrenty lol
so where can i get a offical rom from?
There are lot of ROMs on samfirmware.com and guides on how to flash them. You need an account though.
Have you even flashed a ROM before?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i have flashed rom on a HTC Hero before, which was my old phone, but not on this phone, dunno how different its gonna be!

Check samfirmware.com, it will help you (a lot).
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
thanks muchly, i will check back soon when i have attempted to flash it!
madkid21
BTW, you could also check Doc's ROM if you want to use custom rom. I personally use it and its great. It has also some good guides compiled on the first post. I strongly suggest you read the Doc-Froyo.pdf guide in that thread.
Good luck!

DO NOT use ROM manager, it was created with the best of intentions but ultimately causes more problems than it helps with.

whoah.....this is false!
ROM manager has been around a lot longer than the captivate has.....and it works great on other android devices that ARENT samsung
rom manager is PERFECT for stock roms.
rom manager is bad when you have ClockworkMod built into the kernel already.!
ridethelight is on a bad roll today.
So how do i know if its built in?
Perfect 3g..little to no edge.. live in edge area.. bought the phone from a craigslist user needless to say in a 3g area.
About phone :
2.1 js5/I900 zsjpg
Kernel version- 2.6.32.9

Build#phoenix 6.0 js5..
Any suggestions ?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
you would check out the page for your kernel but yes it does have it.
and looking at your rom... ect. you have already flashed a rom/kernel/modem (all in one) package.
so ya go back to post 3 instructions. also to get into recovery just long press the powerbutton then press 'recovery' it is easier than the button method in post 3.
Ok thanks alot. U all have been a big help !

Hey guys...
I am a newbie who successfully rooted & installed cognition
everything seemed fine until I flashed a theme called
"CirclesMod_SGS2_Cognition_107blue-signed"
When I turn on my phone, AT&T, cognition, and Galaxy S show up
and then the screen goes black and phone just vibrates once or twice in a while...
My phone DOES go into Downloading... screen
I am not sure what my situation is... I could not find anything like this in this forum.
Help this newbie solve the problem..?
Ok so im the only one this late...bear with me kus im on my phone and i cant refer you to links...first of all...if you CAN go into download there is nothing to worry about...search on xda for "odin one click" download the package once you find it. After run the application and plug in your phone in download mode..you will see that the computer has recognized your phone when in the app thre is a little yellow box in the top left corner...after that hit start in the app and wait for a while until it reboots back to stock..hope it helps

Ooh that is a faaaaail
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
If you can get in to recovery you can just reflash that rom (assuming you have the .zip on your SD). Also its usually a good idea to have a stock them for your phone on your SD when you are trying out themes. Something in the framework isn't compatible, but if it really is a SGS II theme dosen't suprise me.
sigh.. i passed out and just fixed it
thanks guys!
going into recovery mode and reflashing the rom did it!
A friend tried messin around with his tab when he doesnt even know how to jailbreak an iphone 3g... The tab wouldnt even boot past the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, but it was able to get to download mode... I used a guide to update it to gingerbread using odin, and everything went well! I opened odin, selected PIT and chose the P1_add_hidden.pit file, then i selected PDA and chose the P1000NVFJP6_P1000NUBJP3_P1000NUUBJPB_HOME.tar.md5 file, and i made sure i checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time, Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update.. everything went well, but on recovery it was unable to update the systemfile.. but everything else on recovery updated and installed fine! as it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootanimation in the part it says Samsung glowing.. did i do something wrong? how can i fix this? I am still able to get to recovery and download mode fine..
Use overcome method like described here

Btw, you should not have checked Clear Efs.
The replace bootloader too.
And best to use Odin 1.7 included in the gb stock safe in that link I give you.

Why do some people think its rational to use absolutely ridiculous titles like "hlp plz" etc etc??
Please use common sense and use descriptive titles, ie a short title that describes your topic for people browsing the forum. "help plz" does not describe your topic in absolutely any way other then somebody using a completely generic title.

You a describing your friend to be a noob. Why are you yourself a developer? And do you even know the hard work required to develop a jailbreak for the first time? So don't talk about others' ignorance.

Do a factory reset, install the standard rom and check if that fixes the problem. Calling a kernel crap with no justification is not going to help you get some help from the community.
If you dont like the development done by some of these developers who are basically providing a service literally free, you acknowledge, try and move on if you dont like. Dont throw things you cannot pick up.
It appears to me you screwed up your mobile flashing rom's and Kernel with no real intelligence on identifying the problem or fixing the same.
Try resetting your mobile to your standard set up and that should fix your radio issues.
so what kernel are u on now?

Hopefully Philz kernel will sort out the problem. Its is pure stock with only brickbug removed (+advanced recovery) so there wont be any bugs that are sometimes found in custom kernels. Needless to say, it is 100% safe for wiping and flashing:thumbup:
