[Q] Explanation of Compatibility of Custom ROM's

Hey guys, if you know me on DroidForums, I was one guy who would flash all the ROMs in the Custom ROM section. With the Captivate, I'm confused with all the bootloaders, since I never needed to worry about that stuff with the Droid. So can someone explain to me how to flash bootloaders, and how to know which bootloaders I need? (btw I'm on mac)

Lol,
How to flash bootloaders is actually stickied.

Ok, thanks, but what about compatibility between a Gingerbread ROM and a Froyo ROM? This never happened to me because on the Droid, you could just flash the hell out of the phone and didn't have to worry about bootloaders, all you could do is wipe and install, and you were done.

Please search before opening a new thread, let alone a new thread in the wrong section. Do your research.

Updating to latest firmware

Hi. Im pretty new to all this and was just looking for some guidance. I got the Captivate about under 2 years ago and have never updated it? I tried to using Kies but it never worked. Always said that the device wasnt recognised or something. So my question is, what is the latest stock firmware for the Captivate and how can i flash it?
Thanks!

latest official supported version is 2.3.5, KK4 -gingerbread.
you can find links to stock roms and tools for flashing in the stickies at the top in the captivate android development forum.

Stock ROM for Galaxy Note

Hello XDA'ers!
As you may have seen my previous thread (I am suffering from the No Sim error) I have successfully managed to learn how to root my phone but the Titanium Backup Pro app failed in helping my phone recognise my SIM again.
My next option is to install the Gingerbread (Original ROM) and from there upgrade back to Jelly Bean and see if this fixes my issue - a lot of people have said that this works for them.
My phone is from Carphone Warehouse so could someone point me to the right direction please? My baseband version ends in "LT9". :fingers-crossed:

Look in Dr. K's thread in stickies of original development, it's listed there. Cpw is the code for car phone warehouse.

Thank you very much!
My phone still cannot recognise my SIM so I was wondering if the thing from this thread is what I need?
I downloaded the LT3 which matches my phone, but can this damage my phone in any way? Where can I find instructions to flash a radio rom?

You could try a new modem, but most gb roms were 3 part roms which included modem, and some later roms included modem upgrades also.

Support for 2.245

Hi.
I have got my so rooted and unlocked and have wanted to put a custom ROM on.
But every single one says just support for 2.254 firmware not my 2.245 firmware.

Happy flashing

Is that possible as 2.245 is my only available software to update too

2.245
Dear Freind
Roms like pureness 1 and Honamiutreized are strictly firmware specific that is why, i think those developers specifically state do not flash this over other firmware variants that will cause problems and this is because those developers have heavily modded the latest firmware to add more tweaks to give advanced user experience hence that ROM may not be compatible on older firmwares.
But probably you can find Custom Roms (Like Cleaned and Tweaked Rom, JBXSP Rom, Project AOSP Rom) based on 2.245, just go to respective threads and check, you will find that the most of the ROMs' version 2 or 3 should be based on 2.245 firmware.
Try and enjoy customs roms. :laugh:
No if you check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964 you can find many FTF for 2.254 which can be flashed using Flashtool and have latest firmware and flash latest ROMs based on 2.254 without any problem.

Hey buddy,
Don't cross flash .254 FW over .245 FW.
Just use flashtool to flash the .254 FW. It is easy, and there are many guides to do it. Once you know how to use flashtool, your phone also automatically becomes unbrickable as you know how to flash back the stock FW even if you somehow softbricked your phone.
Also, don't post questions in the development section. This is for ROMs and Kernels and stuff, there's no place for questions here. Go to the Q&A section instead next time.
Happy flashing (ROMs and kernels, not anything else )
