Before you go flashing bootloaders, make sure that in the root of your SDCARD (Built-In, Non-removable card), there is a folder called "external_sd". If it's not there, just create it, reboot, and try it again.

Flash stock firmware using odin3 one click thn flash miui

Sent from my Cappy with Glitch V11 LL at 1.6GHz stable, Juwe's RAM script, V6 script, V8 kickass kernel tweaks, and 3G booster script using XDA Premium App
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
OK, Handcent is driving me nuts. I can receive messages with no problem. I cannot send them. Everything shows sent, but no one has received anything I sent. Any ideas or fixes?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I got for the most part the same battery life using Galnet, Prototype, or MIUI US versions. I think the Galnet version may, and I mean may, manage standby drain a bit better. When in actual use there is no improvement. The stock kernel that comes with it feels like it is set to conservative while screen is on. It is not as smooth as other MIUI kernels so you will give up performance if you stick with the stock kernel.

If you want to try something there is no harm in trying it out but I would not expect anything over the top regarding battery improvement

I am running MIUI Us with Platypus 15 and some v6 tweaks (probably a different version by tonight cause I am a loser ;) ) I have been off cahrge for 6 hours and I am at 74%. Moderate use. That is enough battery for me
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
maybe check your super user app. Click on log, and see if maybe it is being denied permision. If persist try to clear app data or uninstall reinstall. I do not use third party mms, so I am just guessing.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Why use something other than what MIUI comes with? I find it much better than what Samsung ROMs come with
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
It keeps acting like a rogue app. Won't clear from memory while its consuming system resources, which is always. You can't kill it unless you go into Manage Applications and force stop it. Then it respawns almost automatically. When it does this it heats my phone up and drains the battery like crazy. I froze it with TiBu, but now I realized Handcent doesn't work.

So, I am starting over from JF6. This time I am keeping the eclair/froyo bootloaders to see if that fixes the messaging problem. If not, then I probably will go back to a Samsung ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
In a day, I usually have about 40% left over by night time.

Right now, my phones been unplugged for an 4h 16m.

I'm currently at 75% battery with:

wi-if being on for 2h 53m

Display on for 1h 43m

The screen is what drained all my battery so far. There's small stuff like checking email and Facebook but that barely took any power.

I had to use my phone as a pdf viewer for an hour to do a lab so that used up a lot
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
you know I have wondered about the impact of the Captivate GB bootloaders on my battery. I do think it is possible that there has been an increased battery drain since I started using them, but nothing too significant.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Out if curiosity, what is the reason for running the v6 script and juwes script too? Don't they do the same things?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
yes Juwes script sets your mine fields for ram management and so does the V6 script. For advanced users the V6 script is best. you can try different configurations that are set options or set your own. So in the end if you like Juwes configuration better you can always set those values through V6
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I had weird issues while on captivate GB bootloaders with MIUI. I flashed back to stock, master cleared, then reflashed MIUI on the eclair/froyo bootloaders and have had 0 issues since.

edit: I don't have those strange messaging issues you're reporting either.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Well, my inability to send messages with Handcent is an ATT problem. Coincides with my wife's Captivate (bone stock JH7) dropping calls every 2 minutes. Apparently att has a semi-borked network in my area.

As for the original mesaging problem, I intend to start from JF6 redo everything, keeping the e/f bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] xtracrispy69:
just wondering if anyone has noticed android os eating up most of their battery in this build. Any ideas on how to fix this or find out exactly what it is? Usually display kills the most.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
1. dont see point in talking about a ROM on another ROM thread

2. if you need to know why the word deodexed has been highlighted I will be glad to help.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Well, I finally got it. It was the SMS center number. Now I can send texts again.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I have these system apps frozen using Titanium Backup and disable data if the phone will be idle. Battery life has improved.

Sent from the miui matrix SGH-i897
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
The only thing in that list I am hesitant about is email and market updater. Email because I thought it had something to do with the camera, and updater because I like to update my apps.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
My messaging app is always running. It always uses memory under manage resources. No heat ups.....So I don't know.

Did you restore messages?
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
The lack of install instructions (checked the site, terrible instructions) is beyond frustrating. Seriously, the WORST non-user-friendly "instructions" I've come across yet. I had to good a video to help me install this ****, pathetic...
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
WTF?! the instructions on the website are perfect. they're one of the BEST user friendly instructions I've come across yet
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Not very hard.... install eclair/froyo bootloaders if not install already.

install onix for cwm

flash rom
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Flashed to stock, booted into recovery, no option to do step #3. No mention of needing to connect the phone to your computer, or how or where to put MIUI for installing. No mention of using AIO/Odin on that page...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I too got tripped up by the complex process of

Download rom

Place on internal sd

Format system and cache

Install zip

Select rom

If only it could be easier, like a 1-800 number that sends a person to my house to do it for me
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
you have got to be trolling...
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Do I need to uncheck auto-reboot in Odin? What about Phone EFS Clear?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Ok in all seriousness what are you running, have you started the flash
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Understand that I'm use to using AIO, 1 clicking, selecting the ROM, and AIO flashes it. I was told you can't do that with this ROM and here I am staring at instructions that are absolutely useless for a first-time installer. I've flashed to stock and am in Odin (3-button)...auto reboot unchecked. Now what.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Come from JF6 Stock

If you have 3 button, that saves a step

Root

sideload ROM Manager and Download CWM

Copy/Paste Miui Rom into your SD

Reboot into recovery

select install zip

Choose zip

install

No need for Odin or any thing else unless you need it to get to JF6

You're over thinking it
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
http://www.miuicaptivate.info/instructions.html

Click the ?'s
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You no longer use odin to flash this

You did not see option 3 because you went to stock and did not have

Clock work recovery installed

Do you have the update zip for clockwork, or am I speaking gibberish to you

Take a breath. This is easy. Just give me an idea of what you know

please!!! how can install the stock camera for captivate 2.3, i dislike the miui default camera.

any people can help me with this, miui camera is super slow and the quality is very down.

someone has solved this, install another camera rom
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Guess he is gone :(

Seamed like a nice guy
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
He probably figured it out. :):p
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Actually I ignored everything on the website and just do what I normally do with AIO when i flash a new ROM. I apologize if I was rude, but the equally smart-ass comments didn't help either ;)

Note: a lot of the other ROMs state whether you can use AIO or CWM to flash...all I was finding were references to needing speed kernel this, or uncheck auto reboot that, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You can not use the stock captivate camera as it needs the tw framework which is not present in this rom

You can use the asop camera used in cm7 I believe but you will likely not like that one either
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Works great for me... I don't notice a difference from a sammy rom
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Be careful with AIO and other gingerbread roms. This one does not flash boot loaders so you are kosher. The stock flash I believe is the version with the three button fix. That only contains the sbl or secondary boot loader. If you do flash boot loaders you do not want to flash stock via that method if you want a phone that turns on.

Are you flashed or in need of help
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Currently sitting on the AT&T World Phone screen for about 5 minutes now.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Not a positive sign

So you flashed via aio. My guess is you will need to flash stock again

Aio is a nice tool but is dangerous if you use it as a crutch instead of understanding what you are doing. I am not saying that to be a ****, just being honest
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
You'll find that both Miui and CM7 are done differently than all of the other GB ROMS(Miui is built off of CM7). You don't need to flash any bootloaders, so I guess I get why this can be over thought. It is literally as simple as I posted
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Pulled the battery, turned on, still stuck on A&T World Phone screen...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
If you are going to be helped here you may want to start listening to what people are saying.

Can you get into recovery and or download mode
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
Can you get into download mode?
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Tried Vol ^v + Power, stuck on screen. Tried Vol ^v + USB plugging in, stuck on screen. Brick?

EDIT: Got back into download mode. *phew*
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Pull the battery, wait for 1-2 min. Put the battery back in and try Download mode

Edit *** Nevermind you got into DL
[Captivate Android Development] LuckyX2:
Ahhh, there's my misunderstanding. I thought I needed a gingerbread bootloader to run a gingerbread rom like miui. I was having one hell of a time finding a captivate gb bootloader haha but now I realize it was the eclair/froyo one you were talking about.

I'll flash to JF6 and then miui tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Is the ROM still on your SD?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No brick, soft brick

Ok so

With phone off if you hold volume up and down and power the at&t screen comes on, you let go and it stays there, correct?

Also with power off holding volume up and down then plugging your usb in, nothing happens, correct?

Edit: flash stock from download mode
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I pulled the SD and SIM.
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
Hope this works out for ya man. Everyone was new to this at some point. :cool:

1. Flash back to stock eclair/froyo

2. Flash the file attached via Odin 1.7/1.8 (place in PDA, uncheck repartition and auto reboot)

3. Boot into Recovery, go to mounts and storage, then mount usb

4. Place MIUI zip on root of SD card

5. install zip and your good to go
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Only way to get the phone to respond is to hold Vol.^v and insert USB until I get to the download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
he means internal sd
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
He got it into DL
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
That is old school and not needed at this stage
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
No, not on there currently.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
How many xda junkies does it take to flash a rom
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
Use Odin to get back to stock 2.1 with download mode

/ put update.zip (I can upload if you need it, though I'm sure its already uploaded somewhere) and root (3 button combo > recovery > reinstall packages (may have to do twice)

/ put rom on phone and flash
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Won't get into Recovery?

Edit** If you cant get into Recovery, personally, I'd go back to stock like mirrored says, and try again. But mccord may know of another method I dont(he is a god of course;))
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
he's soft bricked I think, he can get into dl and thats all that matters
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
1-Click or 3 Button? I tried 1-Click and it does nothing...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Does nothing? Does it recognize your phone? We can not see your phone/pc please provide details
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Clicking 1-Click doesn't see my phone (no COMs), click 3 Button brings up Odin and it sees 0:[COM8]. That's the screen that has PIT, auto reboot, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:

what is ur cappy's build number? Over 1010?

[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
Is Odin 1 Click open first, then your phone is already in dl mode and then plugged in with Odin already open?
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I really appreciate all the help, but I'm getting 3 different suggestions from 3 different posts...I'm currently on Odin via 3 Button and 0:[COM8] is shown as "added".
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Random that one odin will see your phone and the other silk not. I like the one click because it handles all. Try another usb port.

You can use the full version as long as you know how to and you select repartition
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
No...use 1 click
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Never used it...can I get a quick settings so I can possibly get back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I said I can't...1-Click doesn't show my phone at all.
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:

Someone just posted the link to the one click

Do you know your build number, or have you safely flashed Jf6 before
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
OK, should Odin be open first, then I go into DL mode, or reverse?

EDIT: Flashing stock (via 1-Click). This phone hates me...
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
Open Odin First

Put Phone Into DL Mode

Plug Phone In
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Open one click

Get into dl mode
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Easiest imo
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I go update zip

reinstall packages twice

Format system, cache

Install zip
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
thanks clicked ;)

Alright well now we should set up a race...:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
OK, back to stock. Can I get the instructions (all of them) in one post with the necessary files? I honestly appreciate all the help, though having 3-4 people telling me different things all at once made it a bit more confusing...but again, your help IS appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Its on *****

And I say that in a loving way
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Checking out, one less person to muddy waters. Will someone post complete instructions for our friend
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
oh, so you still have to format system and cache. Figured, but when you said new way I didn't know how far I was behind
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
Download the update.zip (do not rename it) and put it on your sd card.

http://cl.ly/1u032f3b3e1l1U2B3d3f

Turn off phone.

3 button into stock recovery.

Select "reinstall packages".

Repeat step #4 again.

You will be now booted into ClockworkMod Recovery.

Reboot Phone

Download Rom

http://www.mediafire.com/?hhkbpd0o0ji3yt8

Put on root of INTERNAL sd card

Reboot into recovery with 3 button combo

Select wipe data/factory reset.

Wipe cache partition.

Flash the Rom
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
The way you listed was the original method. Nothing wrong with it. Not sure if odin kernel flashes was easiest for the one in need
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Very Easy

1. Make sure you have 3 button Recovery

2. Root

3. Put CWM and Miui ROM onto your SD(internal)

4. Reboot into Recovery

EDIT**4.5 Select "reinstall packages" (forgot this one)

5. Select wipe data/factory reset

6. Reboot into Recovery From IN recovery

7. Select Install zip

8. Choose zip

9. Install Miui

we've already established thats a no go lol
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Apparently not although to his point if you have used aio as a primary flashing tool I guess it is confusing
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Probably, but it's a step I got use to doing. Creature of habit I guess
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
We are a bunch of women bickering over flashing techniques.

Mine is faster

Isn't that redundant
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Install miui rom on your sdcard.

Using odin... Flash onix or equivalent froyo kernel. (unchecked reboot, re partition, efs etc..)

Pull battery, re install battery.

hold volume ^v press power until the screen lights up then release power only.

Once in perform data/reset then format /system under mounts and storage.

Then install rom from the location you saved it on the sdcard.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:

Installing...finally. Appears this is a modified version of CyanogenMOD?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
lol

I think just copy update.zip and then flash miui.zip is the fastest and easiest way from stock if yor recovery doesn't do a signature check.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
its based off CM7
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
That's how I flash every rom.

Froyo kernel gives you cwm but using odin gives a deeper flash meaning it flashes two blocks. I can't remember the names again but existz explained it to me. (I think it's bml7 and bml8. Whereas cwm only flashes bml8) Then data reset formats /data, /datadata, /cache.

Then I format /system separate. Then flash the rom. Really its stupid as the flash script in the rom should format them all so there is no need to do manually.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Well Hell then! I say his way IS the Best!!!:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
Seriously, they all work and it looks like you got it. Welcome to the MIUI experience. :D

Yes and No, this is a completely different experience then CM7. Play around and see.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
One of the features I like the most is the ability to change/mix and match the themes on the fly
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
I'm not trying to be a prick here but you sound like someone who is fresh and new to flashing ROMs, and that's fine. We all start somewhere. However, I think you should start with a different ROM or a few different ROMs before jumping to MIUI. I only say that because when you finally do get MIUI on your phone, you'll be back complaining about battery life, FCs, etc.

This is not the first time someone has jumped into this thread complaining how difficult it is to flash, or how pathetic it is, yadda, yadda, when they've never flashed another ROM prior. Had they flashed several ROMs prior, the instructions on the first page of the thread would be gravy. You should have seen the original instructions for getting this installed. It would blow your mind.

For future reference, try starting your post with: "Sorry guys but I am very frustrated trying to get this ROM installed. I'm new here and here are the steps I've taken so far." Your post will be taken more seriously that way.
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
+1 the MAIN reason I always come back
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Again, can't reiterate how much I appreciate the help. This was a COMPLETELY different flashing experience, compared to previous ROMs. I've tried Cog, Andromeda, Firefly, Serendipity, and I believe CM7 when it first came out of beta(?) a few months ago...but man this gave me a run for my money.

Thanks for the help guys! Looks amazing :D
[Captivate Android Development] splitnail:
You'll know soon that you needed to play catch up :D

But, yea, it defiantly has gotten a lot easier then it used to be.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:

[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
It's a great ROM, and like all of them, has it's own set of problems/bugs or things you don't care for. But as far as all of the other GB Rom's go, this one is the easiest to flash, and the easiest to theme
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
I stand partially corrected. I didn't want to waste time reading an entire page of people explaining how to use Odin. :D

That's good he's flashed other ROMs previously. I just hope every time he has an issue with a ROM he doesn't start screaming hatred about it. People work hard, day in and day out bringing these to the community and it should be respected.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Last question before bed, any recommended settings to get the best battery life from this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
