Slightly confused with the installation

Ive done everything that the install said to do so far and its right here where i get a tad lost:

"2 Reboot into Clockwork Mod Recovery

3 Flash Serendipity_x.x.zip

4 Following installation, reboot the phone."

I do the whole 3 button combo to get into CWM Recovery and how would I "flash" serendipity? Am i not seeing anything in the menu? or am i suppose to do it through Odin? Cause odin aint reading zip files for me. Been struggling with this for most of the day lol.

You're in CWM Recovery? Select Install Zip File, navigate to it , select it, and install it. You move around via the volume buttons, the power button makes the selection.

Oh yea i kno that part, when i try to install it, its saying:

'''Installing update...

Could that be a bad download of the Serendipity file?

Bug in 2.1, Fixed w/ 2.2official, back in Serendipity 6.2???

Summary

ISSUE is flickering "home" and/or "back" capacitive buttons along with inability to access other buttons or menus due to the phone constantly returning to home screen as soon as I click on anything. issue comes and goes but happens at least every 1-2 hours of using the phone.

Hello! Long-time reader first time poster here with an ATT Samsung Captivate build 1007, currently running 6.2 serendipity with default modem and kernel.

Took me a while to get from official froyo 2.2 to custom-ROM-land but I finally made it with the AIO tool 3.0 on a 64-bit Windows 7 box.

1. upgraded from 2.1 to 2.1.? via the OTA Samsung update menu shortly after I unboxed.

2. waited patiently for official 2.2 froyo then flashed it on the day it dropped via KIES MINI, 100% success.

3. Having been unsatisfied by official 2.2, decided to flash Serendipity 6.2, using the AIO tool. After installing all the drivers I used AIO to return to stock (not sure if that was necessary, does it "return" to the version when I unboxed or when I flashed with KIES Mini?)

Success. Then used the flash custom rom button and after a bunch of recovery menus that I was guided through I was running the ROM!

4. Now the issue is I was having the weird return to homescreen/force close bug on the stock 2.1 and 2.1 point release before 2.2 official came out and miraculously fixed it. I figured it was software related to 2.1 and didn't think much of it until it came back with a vengeance in 6.2 Serendipity, breaking my heart.

Can anyone help me find the root of this problem and get rid of it? If I have to go to another ROM i will, but I really like Serendipity. I've heard it could have something to do with BLN? Guess thats the backlights on the capacitive buttons. Thanks Guys for any help is really appreciated!

So I just installed Serendipity and I love it, especially after waiting for the 2.2 update from AT&T for months. I do have some issues though: when the phone boots and starts loading everything, it says, "Google Talk authentication failed" with my email address under it in the notification window. I opened gmail and it seemed to be working, so I'm not really sure what this means. The other issue is that I can't download anything from the Market. I've tried to do it with Wifi on and off but still no luck. I was however able to download from 4shared. Any thoughts?

I'm a noob, and it's 1am where I'm at, so I apologize if this has already been covered here and I just haven't found it.

This is my first attempt at flashing a custom rom, and I'm getting stuck with Odin not recognizing my phone when I get into download mode via the sdk prompt. I'll type the command adb reboot download from a powered on phone in debugging mode. Odin will lose the phone but it won't pick it back up, as shown in the MobleTechVideo about flashing with Odin.

I have stock 2.2 right now. I used odin before to flash the official leaked froyo the day before it came out over Kies and had no problems, I didn't even have to use sdk tools. I was using a different version of Odin though. I guess that one was meant for 2.1? I can usually find my way around a computer, but this has me stumped, especially since there is endless ways to do or not do things it seems.

FYI, I have a 1012 build with three button combo. I've tried being in download mode first with Odin running, but it doesn't pick up the phone. Once I get into download mode from having the phone on and plugged in, it loses the phone. :confused:

Then I checked by going into service mode by pressing *#0011# and confirming that the "WCDMA" line was on 850 Band 5. Just in case someone else happens to have this same issue in the future.

[Q] Troubles With Seredipity 6.2 - Cannot Receive Incoming Calls and GPS crashes!

Hey all,

I recently flashed Serendipity 6.2 onto my Captivate (I had been using Cognition 2.3b8 (I believe)). (I used Odin to go back to 2.1 and then flashed it)

Everything seemed to work well and I was pretty happy with it until, I someone tried to call me: when this happen the Dialer crashed and my phone went from full signal to 0 - and the call goes straight to voice mail. (I even tried using google voice and the same thing happened)

What is weird is that I can call out ok and receive/send emails and texts ok, but I just cannot receive incoming calls.

Also, another problem - though I do not know if it is related but my GPS will not lock anymore with Serendipity - and other people have not reported it.

Any help with the receiving calls issue would great cause that is major problem.

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay1390:
Maskdmirag just had the same problem. It was due to restoring call settings with Titanium Backup that were from an incompatible rom. Just have to clear out the settings (not exactly sure how, short of a hard reset).

As for the GPS issue, it's a known issue with our phones, there's a number of GPS fixes out there. I haven't had any issues with my GPS so I haven't used any of the fixes and don't know if any one is better than the rest.

You know, it just occurred to me, I wonder if those who have had no luck with the GPS on Serendipity 6.2 restored all their settings, data, etc. when they flashed - and there's something in those settings that is screwing up their GPS.

Hello atm search is down so i am just gonna post this as is.

I had serendipity 5.8 and i used handcent just fine but now when flashed back to original and then flashed 6.2 and try to use handcent it seems to keep restarting itself. I will go into handcent and set up all my themes and everything and it will work for awhile then all of a sudden it reverts back to as if i just installed the program even pops up with the quick little readme thing when you first install it and run handcent.

Also one more problem maybe i am doing it wrong but when i use the rotary unlock and use the silence part of it my phone always turns off everything including vibrate even though in my options i have checked to always vibrate. If i switch to the normal android unlock and try that one it works just fine without changing any other options.

I've used TV Out and worked just fine for me. Did you have the NTSC/PAL setting correct for your TV? The only other thing I could suggest is making sure you have the correct cable. As I've stated in a previous post (see it here) there's two major styles of cables. Try swapping the red and yellow plugs to see if that works. If that doesn't work, you may have one of the other less popular style of cable were the ground goes to something other than the 3rd ring.
