yes, been getting a lot of calls about this today, not specific to just the captivate, multiple Galaxy S phones from multiple carriers, does your IMEI end in 6400000?

After you flash the ics rom there is a rooting procedure their. Follow the instructions carefully, the picture their must match the picture in your pc. If you follow the instructions you will be ok. You look in youtube for visual intructions. Study it untill you are sure. If not, just take your device to samsung they will install it for you.

WARNING. If your on ics do not factory reset or recovery data wipe, DANGEROUS.

Hey guys! I'm on flaps ROM and I tried to flash the kernel r2 with cwm touch. When I do it says that it succeeded. Then when I reboot, I go check the kernel version it's still at 3.0.8 (something like that). Is there something I'm missing? I was also on black star and tried to flash the same way and it wouldn't. Thanks for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VoluntaryMan:
What is the date listed in the kernel info? Afaik if it's Sun Jul 15 you should be good. I may be totally wrong though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] idanoclo:
I thought the same thing. Ive used setcpu to overclock and it works fine. Newest update was fix on capacitive buttons staying on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
Thanks for the replies. The kernel info says 3.0.8 and that's all. What I'm trying to explain is that it says that it was a successful flash in cwm touch recovery, but it doesn't show up in about phone in settings once I reboot from cwm touch recovery. Hope I'm explaining it well. Basically I flash it, reboot, then go check the version and it still says 3.0.8. Every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VoluntaryMan:
This is what mine says (I should be on r2)

This is what it looks like before and after I flash it (r2).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Might sound stupid...but are you ONLY flashing the kernal? If you flash the rom again, it will overwrite the kernal. That's honestly the only thing I can think of. That, or a bad download
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] liftedzuki:
If you have fj rom you must delete a file and rename another. Then switch to cpu master free over set cpu. I
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
I simply deleted both files. That doesn't solve his problem of the kernal not even showing up in about phone tho. The deletion of FJs files has to do with clock speed and settings sticking and horrid lag...not the kernal installing.

And IIRC, that only pertains to the FJmod. He has a stock base too minus the mod. Similar to electrons build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
Thanks again for the replies. Correct, just the kernel file only. It's the second r2 file I've tried doing. When I was on h0tw1r3s ROM, I was able to flash and update the kernel to r2. I wonder if I should try a different recovery like tarp or maybe it has to do with a mounting issue or something. By the way, I'm not saying anything about overclocking, just installing the kernel itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
That's weird! Report back with a solution if you figure one out. Maybe it will help someone else out.

And yeah, I got ya on just wanting the kernal installed. I personally am not OCing with the kernal. I REALLY wanted it for BLN support and tweaks.

i am new to this so if you can bare with me. I recently Unlocked and rooted my G2 and i also installed a custom recovery (ClockworkMod). I have been trying to install a custom but have been having problems with this. what happens is i use recovery to install rom from sdcard and it looks like it installs, i mean it says it is successful but when i reboot it gets stuck on HTC boot screen. I do not know what else to do, please help. oh and i also have tried to do this with a few diffirent ROM's.
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
Just a guess, but it sounds like you didn't wipe before installing a rom. From the main recovery menu, choose factory reset/wipe data and cache. When that is done, you can install whatever ROM you'd like. If you're installing an AOSP rom, don't forget to flash the google apps (gapps) after the ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] biohazrd51:
What ROM are you attempting to install. If it is newer sense based you may need the desire z boot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
As someone else said, looks like yo didn't bother to factory-reset/wipe via recovery before attempting to apply a brand new rom.

Flashing the rom doesn't wipe everything for you before hand, it would be like trying to install Windows 7 on top of Windows XP without bothering to remove windows XP and you end up with this mixed up mess of the two that doesn't work.

I like how 4EXT Recovery can let you check the md5sum of any file on the SD card before you decide to flash it, so you can compare to the source.

[G2 and Desire Z General] pkb6212003:
HTC G2

What do you mean? What could be wrong with the radio?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Which roms? did you verify that you meet all the requirements? (for example some newer roms, particularly some ICS attempts, need the newer *.19 radio).

For example I couldn't get EliteMod ICS booting until I upgraded my radio to 26.13.04.19 from the old *.26 one (also the T-Mobile Wifi Calling app requires the new radio too).

PS: It's generally more helpful if you list out all your specs, i.e.: your Phone's Hboot (hboot version, SHIP vs ENG, S-OFF vs S-ON, Radio Version), Recovery type/version, and what roms you are trying.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yogi2010:
Hi, are you simply unlocked using the HTC bootloader unlocker? If so, another thing to consider is you may need to flash the boot.img thru fastboot along with installing the ROM thru recovery. I don't think HTC unlock lets you flash to the boot partition in recovery, so if the ROM you flash uses a custom kernel, it won't boot until you flash that seperately thru fastboot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] desirez_pete:
I flashed a new rom and got stuck on the white HTC screen too but after taking the battery out for about 30s it just booted right up. Happened a few times now so it could be that.

I have had that same problem doing a full wipe and also wiping the cache and dalvik before I install a new rom works for me, I have had the same situation AFTER a time and as desirez_pete stated removing the battery for 30 seconds and rebooting did the trick.

yeah you will be much happier with true soff, nipqer has a guide to do all this in the developers section, just search a bit

pretty much you need to relock the bootloader, downgrade, exploit

1) You have neglected to perform a complete wipe. You may wish to use this :

edited to add:

I forgot to say, you may wish to try *formatting* your system and data partitions before installing a new ROM, rather than just *wiping* them. This has resolved issues for me in the past.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HeaT420:
I am currently using ILWT CM7 and love it. No big problems whatsoever. If your looking for a good AOSP rom, I recommend G-Lite. If you want Features, go with ILWT CM7. If you want the Latest and Greatest, I recommend Slim Bean or CM 10.1 by Flinny. If you want a good balance between Performance and Newer Android Platform, I say Mimicry.

HBoot: G2

Be sure to do Full Wipe before flashing new roms.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donald.b.pratt:
IMEI is wrong

I had the same problem today. I was accused of having a stolen phone (same captivate I have had for 2 years, bought from AT&T store). Then I was told that someone reported my phone stolen. Then I was told that I put my SIM in an iPhone. Then I was told that I was using a stolen pre-pay phone. Finally, I was told that there was some mistake, and my phone might be fixed within 24 hours. Total call time was over 3 hours. Still not working. When I try to make a call, I get "sorry, this device has been blocked". AT&T's crack team is on it though.

I believe it is from the "generic" IMEI that my ROM is reporting (IMEI ends in 640000). I have been looking for ways to restore my IMEI to the correct one, but all I am finding is information about how it is a class C felony in the US to change an IMEI number.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick0703:
Did you flash an ICS ROM? If you did, you might want to check your internal SD and look for a folder named "backup". It contains a backup copy of your "efs" folder. Copy everything from that folder and paste everything to your "/efs" folder. Reboot your phone, fix permission and you should be good.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalseth:
So I was on the the phone with at&t and couldn't figure it out. about 3 hours later i got a text on my wife's phone that it was restored. So all is good now. They also thought it was an Iphone and stolen.

AT&T Captivate with DarkNight 5.5 ICS

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Same story I was getting. This will happen to you again (I have been through it twice). The IMEI ending in 640000 is not a valid IMEI, and it is on the blacklist. AT&T is not the only carrier now disabling access for having IMEI's that are reported as stolen.

To restore your IMEI, follow the instructions from Nick0703.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwalseth:
I can't seem to find a backup folder or /efs folder. is it inside another folder i am not seeing?

It may be in the /mnt/sdcard depending on the app you are using for file explorer.
