Thank you for your prompt reply. I'm running froyo on my Captivate. The problem that I'm having is that I cannot flash any ROM on neither ClockwordMod or Android Explorer. This is what I'm doing: I pass the ROM that I want to my SD card, then I goto Clockword and select flash from sd card, then what happens is that instead of landing on Clockwork recovery, I ALWAYS end up on Android Recovery mode...

About the Stock ROM of designgears check for yourself that although the link is there, when I click it, it will take you to an unavailable page.
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
I already started the download. BTW, what I'm dowloading?
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
I just passed you a donation (I'm Patrick Aleman). Consider it an "advance"...lol...for motivational purposes..lol

Please lend a hand.
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Hey thanks so much for your donation. It means a lot and will be used for web hosting for my website.

Have you tried to follow the step by step rom video? I prefer to never flash the rom from the GUI in Android but rather reboot to CWM recovery and then install it from the main recovery instead. You can see this in the video. Verify if you have watched or not and I'll get back with you on another way to enter clockwork mod recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Check this page of my website:

http://mobiletechvideos.com/CWM___Other_Flashable_Pa.html

I uploaded the Clock Work Mode Recovery zip package. Mount your phone to the PC and delete any file currently named update.zip on your phone's internal storage. Then, move the cwmupdate.zip file (the one you downloaded from my website) to the phone and rename it to update.zip. Now, go into the Clock Work Mod app on the phone and select, reboot into recovery. The phone will reboot. Using the volume buttons, select reinstall packages then press power to select. It will either go straight into the CWM recovery or reboot one more time to the same stock recovery screen. If it reboots to stock recovery, select reinstall packages one more time and THEN it should go to CWM recovery. Now you can install the zip you want and select your ROM.

Let me know how it goes...
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
Ok. Please advice of what did you post for download...(I already downloaded it)..
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Sorry I don't understand this post. Are you saying you just tried to recommendation above?
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
what did you "reuploaded"?
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Your original statement was the ODIN download link was broken. After I noted that, I reuploaded the ODIN file and provided you with the link. Following that post you stated a new issue you were having was getting into CWM recovery so I also uploaded another file to help you with that step. To better understand which point you are on and where you are trying to go, answer me the following questions:

1) Are you trying to get to a custom ROM?

2) What step are you currently on regarding my videos?
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
1) Yes I'm trying to flash a ROM to my Cap; it's called Perception build and I already have it on my SD card. I already have FROYO on it and clockworkMod. However when I try to flash with clockword it will not go to clockword recovery mode instead it will fall in "Android recovery mode".

2)I'm currently ready to download to the Cap the Odin that you provided.
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Ok. First as you said, use the ODIN 1 Click to restore the original JF6 firmware that shipped on the phone. Then proceed to install ROM Manager and use the cwmupdate.zip file I added to the website.

Be sure you watch the whole video and have made backups of your apps and or texts if you would like to have them for the new rom.
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
I'm trying to install the Captivate USB drivers for my captivate and they don't seem to install right. I have a HP with a Windows 7 64 bit. Seems like the drivers available in the Samsung site are not doing the job. Can you please point me in the right direction?
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Use the drivers in the more info section of the Samsung Kies Tethering Video on my youtube channel.
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
I hate to keep bothering you... I'm in your you tube channel on the Samsung Kies Tethering Video; where is the more info section? There is a section right after the video which provides a link to megaupload which takes me to a Kies Flies link...
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Yes that package has the drivers in it.
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
Ok. I'll keep you posted... thanx again..

any sugestions?
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
You have to perform those steps in the exact order as described or ODIN will hang like that. Unplug the phone and close ODIN. Start ODIN and remove and reinsert your batter. Now, holding both volume up and volume down, plug the phone back and continue holding them. When it goes into download mode, release. Now ODIN should say added. Now click start.
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
Thanx for your input. I did that all night. Seems that Odin did not like Windows 7. I thought I bricked the phone!! It was black screen... I came this morning to my office where I have Windows XP and everything when very well!
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Definitely a driver issue but trust me Windows 7 and ODIN work fine together I use them daily... :)
[Captivate Android Development] paleman27:
Could you please provide me with working link to the Cognition ROM from designgears? Seems like the one on xda forum is "error 404 page not found".

ROM Manager is not available in the store ? paid or free version ?

ok so idk what going on but i see it on my computer in the play store but cant see it for download from the market on my friends captivate

and just to mention i got to the end of second vid with this cappy its stock rooted but cant install the rom manager apk
[Captivate Android Development] keller.jeff:
Download it from the cwm website. It will not install cwm as there's no official release. Add I mentioned in the other post, install cm 10.2 and you will get custom recovery. Or try installing a custom kernel with a kernel flasher (not sure if Rom manager does that, I don't use it. )
[Captivate Android Development] trevor.bman:
well jeff thanks for your help on both posts.. but i obviously needed to do more reading lol so after a little more reading i discovered my friend bought the cappy with power fail recall so she needs to swap it out again Thanks for your help Jeff

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
Could be a corrupt download so I would try to redownload the rom and then reinstall. But what hardware version and hboot do you have?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firmbiz94:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frettfreak:
definitely need s-off, but have you tried to DL it again?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firmbiz94:
yea i thought it might be on the wrong forum so i reposted it there after, i apologize. how do i get the s off. Im not very good at this.. im interested in alt his stuff but not very good yet..i thought when i rooted it would turn s off..and yea ive tried installing it several time with no luck and same error
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firmbiz94:
in another thread someone told me that its not working bc im still s-on..how do i turn that off.. hardware version 0003
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
First, you need to verify whether s is on or off. To do this, power down your phone, and hold the volume down button while you power it back on. It will boot into a white screen with 3 Androids on skateboards at the bottom. The very first line at the top of the screen will indicate if s is off or on.

If you rooted with Unrevoked, s should be off. However, I believe that before you can flash custom roms, you need to unlock NAND by flashing the engineering SPL onto your phone. On the same screen where you see if s is on or off, it needs to say Hboot: 0.76.2000 on the second line. If it has any other version of the hboot, you will not be able to flash custom roms.

This is what I did 1 week ago when I rooted my girl's Evo (also a 0003):

1) Ran Unrevoked for root.

2) Installed ROM Manager to flash recoveries & TI for back-ups.

3) Put Myn's RLS 4 on root of SD, and tried to flash via recovery; got errors similar to yours.

4) Downloaded engineering spl and placed on root of SD

5) Went back into recovery and flashed the eng. spl (at this point, I tried to boot it and the phone had no rom and would loop at the white HTC EVO 4G screen).

6) Got the phone back in recovery by doing a battery pull, powering on while holding volume down, and selected recovery.

7) From the recovery, I flashed Myn's RLS 4, my favorite kernel, a custom boot screen, and then rebooted.

8) Opened a beer and relaxed.

Don't forget to wipe everything twice! Also, before you flash the eng. spl, make sure you go into ROM manager and use the option to "flash an alternate recovery" so you do everything with Amon recovery which does a better job wiping. However, with Amon you cannot navigate through all the folders on your SD card to find what you want to flash. All flashable files MUST be placed in a .zip format in the root of your SD card (meaning out in the open and NOT inside any folders)

I hate using ADB, and if you follow these steps precisely, you will not need it.

Good luck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firmbiz94:
i will try what you say to do..im just nervous bc that sounds complicated with my limited computer skills..i just dont understand why s-on is still there..isnt that the point of rooting.. can i unroot and run unrevoked forever?..is there any difference ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:


Check your hboot version, and see what it is. If it is hboot 2.02, that is your problem. Unrevoked doesn't work (yet)with that hboot version. Currently, the only way to root that hboot version is the "boss" method. Can be found in the development section. You can check by doing the same thing the guy before mentioned, hold vol down, and power button together. Then you will see the version, at the bottom I think. When did you get your Evo? What hardware version are you? ( settings, about phone, hardware info) software info the same way, see if your build 3.29 or 3.30.

Edit: looks like the thread is now "like a pinecone" rather than "like a boss"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
OP: Rooting does not turn s off. Root allows you to run programs that require root access. With root, you can run wireless tether, ROM Manager, Titanium back up, Shootme app for screen shots, etc.

However, to flash custom roms, you need to have NAND access and that is done by flashing the engineering hboot. You can find the engineering hboot here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342668&d=1276481802

Like k2buckley, if you have the 2.02 hboot, you need to follow this root guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

It requires lots of ADB and this is for more advanced users. If you are going to try it, make sure your battery is completely charged before you start messing with it. I HIGHLY recommend you search YouTube for video tutorias on the root method you need to use and watch it from beginning to end (twice if you need to) to make sure this is something you feel you can do before you dive in.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
I was curious to see a "native theme" and to see if it asked for any Permissions when I went to install it.

It installed and I am able to select the theme and it even applied (pretty nice, even the icons are sans-backgrounds) but it's been showing as "Installing..." the entire time...

I did a Restart to see if that would kill the ongoing "Installing..." progress and that took care of it. I'll email the Developer and I figured I'd post my experience here, in case anyone ran into the same *issue.

It's a pretty slick looking theme, although the circuit board image is a bit too much for me. I like the clear icons and the Android-green throughout. I'll ditch the circuit board lock image, but it persists throughout (e.g. in the App Tray).

Some screen shots...

I'm one of the few that actually likes the mySense/TMO twist on Sense and while I've tried LP and ADW, I'm quite happy with stock. Standard issue just feels better sometimes.

I also realized some might not like the images posted inline, but I'm a fan of not having to click to open an image (unless it's got a thickbox wrapper).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wes342:
I talked to the developer of this theme also (really nice guy)

He did an amazing job on it.

but the green is not my thing so i have been talking to him about how he was able to make it. (only one i have seen)

he said it has to be done by source so im looking into that.

i would love to start making themes for the my touch 4g.

i dont have the phone im just working on a port for the incredible and would like to make some themes for all the people using the port and would post them here also.

I'm not using the Captivate, I'm using the Bell Vibrant, unlocked on Rogers. So I can't go to Bell to get it fixed (can I?!) if it happens! And, I'm not like, super rich, so I can't just drop $$$ on the Nexus S as much as I want to (besides, no microSD!! wtf?!?!)

I've been following all the threads about people's I9000M's dying after installing 2.2 roms, so I've avoided all of them as well as all lagfixes, etc. I just ASSUMED that a 2.2 update from Bell would be absolutely safe, since ROMS are hacked together by people who don't get paid to work with the code, while the people that get paid to work with the code (i.e. Bell employees) should be able to just put this together absolutely correctly.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniflight:
Well once the internal sd card exploded, you can't even open the phone so they probably can't find out if your phone is unlocked. You just need to like ask a friend or a family member that uses Bell to go with you and take the phone over to a Bell store and see if they will repair it. Dont tell them you unlocked it lol. Just let say that your friend or a family member that upgraded the phone and the internal sd exploded etc

I don't think it really matters how you flash it, or even if you don't flash it at all. I've seen people with bad sd cards on stock 2.1, flash with odin, flash with cwm, flash with kies. Mine went bad just last week. It was running docs rom flashed on jh2 with recovery. Fortunately, the Bell store I took it to took it in for repairs even though I'm on Rogers.

There's clearly a hardware problem. Maybe it's the MoviNand. If that were the case, maybe that's why the Nexus S is using an iNAND instead of the MoviNand.

BTW, this is the 2nd i9000M I had this problem with.
