So before the newest update I was running the Darth stalker rom, arter7 kernel and philz touch recovery. I tried to update my phone with the newest Darth stalker rom and bricked my phone. After a lot of head ache I manged to get my phone back to stock all around. So I was wondering if you could point me into the direction of a rooted kernel that works on all stock system. I'm not looking for custom rom at the moment just want root.

Okay, I'm relatively new to Android phones in general, but recently purchased a captivate and absolutely love it. I upgraded to the unofficial leaked version of froyo and am now wanting to try out a custom rom. The issue I'm having is as follows:
I've read that before flashing a custom rom, it is recommended to flash back to the stock rom first. When I tried that, I flashed back to the stock rom (pre OTA update that fixed the 3 buttom recovery mode issue) and was not able to get into recovery mode. I then tried to do the ota update and it kept failing. I then flashed back to the leaked froyo rom via download mode and am basically stuck here. My question is two fold. Does anyone have a link to the stock rom file that has the latest update (I forget the version number) or can I just flash to a new custom rom from the leaked froyo build? Would that build be considered stock?

Don't flash back to stock unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it's pointless and just creates additional opportunities for things to mess up and brick your phone. Wiping your data and cache partitions with CWM recovery should be sufficient for a clean ROM install.
As for the stock ROM you're looking for, it depends on your Captivate. If your phone came with JF6 and working button combos, and is an older build (1009 or older), this should work fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
If your button combos were disabled, either use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439 -OR- the first link followed by installing the OTA update (be careful, as an incomplete OTA update can perma-brick your phone).
If your phone is a build 1010 or came with JH7, the stock ROM you need is JH2. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
I'm not a noob to phone flashing as I had a G1 from day 1 and have had numerous other HTC android devices since etc, just very new to tablet and with what im reading here, it's more complicated to flash roms on a tablet (or any samsung device for that matter) then on a phone. With a phone you just root, flash s-off or a new recovery, slap a rom on the SD card and flash it from clockworkmod or amon ra and blam, you are done. (hate the whole rom manager thing). Basically what im asking is what are the steps to get the tab ready to flash a rom. is it similar to a phone Root, recovery, rom? or is it different for each rom.
So far I've rooted using the noob root guide. I'm still on the original T-mobile stock firmware. I'm looking to get clockworkmod recovery flashed so i can start playing with all the wonderful rom's here. From what I have gathered...

Is this the only way to accomplish this as of right now?
I've checked to make sure im unlocked. im on stock 2.2. If I flash this using the odin instructions will it achieve what i'm looking for?
The rom I want to flash is the new 2.3.4 rom and the upcoming honeycomb rom. I might even try out overcome as well.
Thanks for any help in clarifying the process!
Hey all
going to be a bit of a db one, but I pretty much just want either links to guides, or a list of processes to get my note onto Cyanogen Mod 10.1, I don't want any custom kernals or anything, just a custom recovery and a custom rom on my phone before I go on
I flashed before using odin to sort out a update problem after my 4.0 ota screwed
I also flashed clockwork mod onto my galaxy s + back in the day so I am custom to software like this
Phone details
Vodafone N 7000 running 4.1.2
never touched anything before modding wise minus the stock reflash after 4.0 ota screw up
sooo pretty much, is it just a case of flash clockwork mod in odin then flash rom, or do I need anything else?
HI Just wanted some advice. Im on 6.01 Overdrive rooted but would like to go back to stock as I feel I'm not using any rooted featured and also I'm getting problems with Oculus etc.
My Question is what's the best Firmware to flash in Odin that if I decide to go rooted again it won't block me or upgrade my bootloader. I'm on Baseband PE3 at present.
Do I need to wipe anything? Or is an Odin Flash enough. Thanks
I use epg2. You can flash the dev base for that. I pulled the boot.img from it and flashed over to remove root. The 910t had guides to get you back to lp from anything before pj2. Haven't bothered upgrading past that point.
