Also, I am not responsible if anything goes wrong, obviously you have a choice to install this ROM. Finally, I am not a dev, I wish I was though. If I have crossed some boundaries, please let me know, I'm sorry this is my first major post. So help me, to help you!
Here is how to install and also get 3G working, don't complain, I tried.
If there are any questions, again, ask.
First, get this ODIN one click, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 , thank you DG, you are a stud. Download the latest Nightly ,http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=captivatemtd , (I used 181). Grab the attached update.zip as well, this will be your CWM, to access it, use the 3 button method to get to recovery (press volume up and down, plus the power. release the power button when you see the ATT logo). Lastly, download Alpha 6, along with the Enable 3g zip and the superuser zip. Put nightly 181, the Alpha 6.zip, superuser.zip, update.zip, and the Enable 3g. zip on your sdcard.
Basic Outline of what needs to be done for original Alpha 6:
Download all the .zip's and the odin. Install drivers, and open up the ODIN.
Put the 4 zip's (Nightly 181, Alpha 6, Enable 3g, and update) on the root of your SDcard.
Open ODIN, and enter download mode on your phone. Connect your phone to your computer.
Press start on ODIN, and let it work.
Once the phone reboots, enter recovery mode. Choose reintsall packages, or install update.zip, whichever is there.
The phone will come back to that same recovery, choose reinstall packages or install update.zip again.
Choose install zip from SDcard, then choose zip form SDcard, and pick the cm7 nightly 181. Let that install.
Once CM7 is intalled, go back to recovery. Choose install zip from SDcard, then choose zip from sdcard, and install Alpha 6. You may have to repeat this step.
Go back into recovery, select install zip from SDcard, choose zip form SDcard, install the superuser.zip. Reboot the phone.
Once booted, log into you Google account, and download Script Manager.
Press the Menu soft key, System Settings, More..., Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, Menu soft key, New APN, Select Name and enter ATT WAP, then select APN and enter wap.cingular, Menu soft key and select save.
Reboot into recovery, install zip from SDcard, choose zip from SDcard, select the Enable 3g.zip, install.
Reboot the phone, open Script Manager.
Select the folder ".." twice (it should be the top folder), your now at the root folder, select etc, then init.d, select 99enable3g. Make sure "Run as root", "Run at boot", and "Run on net.change" are selected. Press save.
Reboot and it should work! Questions? Concerns? Let me know!
Basic Outline of what needs to be done for the Alpha 6 with Hardware Acceleration:
This is optional, but I went back to stock. You need the JF6 like before as well as the update.zip and the Alpha 6HW2D.zip on the SDcard.
Flash back to stock.*
Once finished going back to stock, go into recovery and reinstall packages. Let it reboot and select reinstall packages again.
First, do delete all user data and cache. It works.
Select install zip from SDcard, then choose zip from SDcard.
Select Alpha 6HW2D.zip. Let it complete. Then go back into recovery and repeat. It must be flashed twice.
TADA! let it boot and you should be good to go!
I will be adding more to this, but it will take some time. Thank you.

Thank you for the links! I might need help with those instructions, Ill try to look them up. Ill add more to this later, Im gonna be busy for the next couple hours with some house work. Ill be adding the video and clean up the OP. with CM7, ill see how that goes, I just added that in there cause thats how i did it. Ill see if theres a better way. thank you very much for your help!
Just to ask the question - why is the JF6 with bootloaders necessary? Is the current state of the ICS port not compatible with GB bootloaders? Or is it just to have CWM available for flashing?
I'm just asking because if it's just a matter of being on a stock scenario, it would be safer to come from a non-bootloader stock package.
Combined patch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19596674&postcount=2081
I also did not go from CM7.
Went from KK2 rom --> recovery, clear data, flash ROM -> recovery, clear data, flash ROM --> flash ROM (just for good measure, since I was in endless boot animation) --> flash superuser zip and enable3gv2 zip --> scriptmanager, set script settings --> reboot
Good to go with 3g working. other fixes can be applied too. I think the above package contains all of them.

You can go with the GB bootloaders, I guess its personal preference. And I did it as a precaution. I like going back to COMPLETE stock to make sure I start from scratch.

I dont think it is, I like to make sure I have a known good baseline for testing, so I almost always go to JF6 and MC when I install ROM's like this
Here - I've whipped up a pack with all the fixes (and directions) except the A6 file (as that's pretty big). Enjoy.

Wow. Thats amazing. I might do that with all the files! Thanks
FYI, Running A6 with the Cappy kernel. I'm testing the battery now, and hit 100% last night before bed, unplugged, and overnight, dropped to 43%. Limited use since 9am PST, now down to 16%. Something interesting, Screen use is 45%, Phone Idle 20%, Android OS 9%
Device not going to sleep?

Thats what i think too. Im checking voltage control every once in a while, and the unused state is sleep. 100Mhz is at like 43%+.

Rumor has it that onecosmic is going to release A7 soon. I'll hold on to A6 until then and reflash then. See if that changes anything
I'm getting 65% in deep sleep and 20% in 100mhz...
Sent from ICS captivate. Be jello.
Captivate install instruction for A6
So we start off, of course we need some files & requirements:
Make sure you have a WiFi connection available

I put all of them in a folder called ICS, you name it whatever you want
First of all we need to make sure you do not have simlock enabled.
To disable:
1. Go to settings
2. Go to the security tab
3. Click on sim card lock, and disable it.
You do NOT have to be on any particular ROM to install ICS. I prefer to start from JF6 and Master Clear.
If you are on a custom ROM:
Make sure to disable any lagfix if you have one enabled
Copy folder with your downloads onto your devices SD
If you want to make a backup of your current ROM, now would be the time to do that
Once that is done, power off, and just for safety sake, I remove my Ext SD and SIM
Now we need to wipe the phone.
1. In the recovery menu select “wipe data/factory reset”
2. Go ahead and go to the “advanced” option
3. In there select “wipe Dalvik Cache”
4. Go back to the menu you were before.
5. In the recovery menu navigate to “install zip from sdcard” and press your selection key
6. Now choose the option “choose zip from sdcard”
7. Navigate to the ICS Folder
8. Select the ROM
9. Now navigate to the option “Yes – ROM NAME HERE”
It will now flash the rom.
Once this is done, go back and install the ROM one more time
Once we have done this, go ahead and hit the “reboot system now” option.
Wait for the phone to boot, if it does not go past the boot screen after a few min, pop out the battery, re-install the battery, re-boot into recovery and start at step #1 again
Reboot in recovery.
1. In the recovery menu navigate to “install zip from sdcard” and press your selection key
2. Now choose the option “choose zip from sdcard”
3. Navigate to the ICS folder
4. In there select “Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip”
5. Now navigate to the option “Yes – install Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip”
Once it’s done, “reboot system now”
Once you’ve restarted. You’ll need to install script manager. For this you must have a WiFi connection, the device will not have a data connection yet. Open up the market and search in for “script manager”, and download & install Script Manager FREE.
When it’s done installing, we are going to add YOUR APN.
1. Open the settings app
2. Click on “more…”
3. Now press “Mobile networks”
4. Then click “Access Point Names”
5. And hit the menu button, then press “new APN”
For AT&T, I have been successful with:
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: Not Set
MMS Proxy: Not Set
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: Not Set
APN Type: Not Set
When you have put these in, hit menu and save
Reboot into Recovery:
1. Navigate to “install zip from sdcard” and press your selection key
2. Now choose the option “choose zip from sdcard”
3. Navigate to the ICS folder
4. Select “enable3gv2.zip”
5. Now navigate to the option “Yes – install enable3gv2.zip”
When it’s done flashing hit the “reboot system now” option.
Thank you to WarDrake in the i9000 threads who simplified this fix. I’m using his instructions and all credits go to him
1. Open script manager and go navigate to : /etc/init.d
2. In here select the script named 99enable3g and open it as a script
3. Now select run as root, run at boot, run on network change (DO NOT RUN IT)
4. Hit the “save” button.
5. Exit script manager
Reboot into Recovery:
1. In the recovery menu navigate to “install zip from sdcard” and press your selection key
2. Now choose the option “choose zip from sdcard”
3. Navigate to the ICS folder
4. Select “ICS_VoiceSearchFix.zip”
5. Now navigate to the option “Yes – install ICS_VoiceSearchFix.zip”
1. Select “choose zip from sdcard”
3. Navigate to the ICS folder
4. Select “CalendarFix.zip”
5. Now navigate to the option “Yes – install CalendarFix.zip”
Reboot, and you should be running ICS.
If you cannot send SMS(Thanks to Thanks Twicebak3d)
Open Dialer *#*#4636#*#*
Click: phone info
Press refresh next to smsc and see if the number is 07913121139418f0

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Google Nexus 7 2012 stock to Android 7.1
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Google Nexus 7 2012 3G/tilapia or wifi-only/grouper to Android 7.1 Nougat / LineageOS 14.1
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Google Nexus 7 (3G or wifi) with Android 5 to a powerful one with Android 7.1 Nougat.
Don't expect stable Android 8 or 9 on this tab, but 7.1 is already perfect ;-)
### I'll make a few notes using this style: PLEASE READ THEM.
Before going further, make sure you have the correct model.
Go to Settings > About tablet > Model number: Nexus 7
And on tablet's back cover: Nexus is written horizontally (vertically on 2013 model)
### See here if not clear: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/58273/how-to-distinguish-nexus-7-2012-and-nexus-7-2013
And if you have a SIM card slot on the side, it is a 3G model (codename tilapia), if not, Wifi only alias grouper.
Make sure you have latest official updates.
Connect tab to Wifi network.
Go to Settings > About > Update. Download if update is available.

Relaunch Play Store, Netflix and Disney+ will be available in SD.
10) OTHER APPS
- You can use GPS Status & Toolbox for faster GPS fix.

Hi,
it seems you didn't read well the WindowsClub tutorial.
3 choices:
From within the /flash folder, enter "cmd" in the address bar and hit ENTER. It will open the CMD in the /flash context.
Copy path of folder from Windows Explorer address bar and enter following command in CMD:
cd /d (CTRL + V TO PASTE THE PATH)
Move to the parent directory (/djibe). Select /flash folder, then hold SHIFT and right click Open command here.
Command will open on the /flash context.

F2FS is the fastest filesystem for read and write partitions on flash memories. Compared to EXT4, gain is from 15 to 280 %.
No need to format the /System partition because it is Read only and Ext4 is still faster.
Now go Wipe > Advanced Wipe.
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and Swipe to Wipe.
Tap on Back button (to Advanced Wipe Menu).
Select /cache partition > Repair or Change File System > Change File System > F2FS, Swipe.
Go Back and back to Advanced Wipe Menu.
Select /data partition > Repair or Change File System > Change File System > F2FS, Swipe.
Tap on Home button > Reboot > Recovery > Swipe to Reboot
6) FLASH ANDROID + OPENGAPPS + MAGISK
On restart, check Never show this screen during boot again and Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Back to Mount.
Copy ROM + GAPPS + gapps-config-tilapia.txt + Magisk + Magisk Manager.

Everything is going great until this point - the storage is not mounted (can't see them in Explorer). Any ideas?

Hi,
try to reboot recovery,
go to Mount and play with bottom right button Enable/disable MTP.
If it doesnt work, go over Windows Start Menu icon > right click > Device management and make sure the Tab is well detected.
The bottom right button Enable/disable MTP didn't do much - the laptop made the noise like a USB device was being disconnected (not connected) and in the system tray, the option to eject Nexus 7 was present. I can't check Device Manager at the moment because the tablet is currently completely unresponsive. I think the battery may be flat because I left it all day and overnight before being able to come back to work on it.
I appreciate your help and would really like to get this 7.1 ROM working.
Nothing appears to be working, the tablet can be seen in adb-devices in recovery mode, but not in Device Manager or Windows Explorer.
The tablet now has no OS on it so as it currently stands is useless - do you have any ideas how to get this going again?
Hi,
install USB drivers from my pack on another PC.
Then connect tab.
And tell me what happened

I renamed the folder to have no spaces in the name and used adb push to get the files on to the tablet. Next problem is there isn't enough storage to install the gapps package.

Well, sorry, I'm confused with Nexus 7 2013.
Wipe all partitions.
Copy ROM + GAPPS + the file gapps-config-tilapia.txt. Without this GApps are oversized

Hi, you don't need to repartition for Android 7.1.
You need both Opengapps + gapps-config-tilapia.txt when falshing GApps.

Ok. But there isn't the space to install them despite wiping everything, so I will need to look elsewhere I think.

Tutorial updated for Netflix and Disney+
Hi, updated for Android 11
Hey thanks for the relly good description. I have only one Problem. Iam not able to use the phone with Gapps. Installation works and the phone starts. but after config some essentials like time an wirelesslan i see the big cycle from google. I waited all night long but it stucks. Installation without gapps works perfect (with lineageos first start routine). Have any ideas? Or ist at possible to get a backapp to load it with TWRP restore?
Update: i tried bitgapps and now it works.
