hold down vol down, up and power until you see the att screen.. let go and that will boot ya into recovery. (if that's what you were asking:p)

..you have to manually do it. Whether you use ROMManager or CWM.. you have to choose whether you want to update or not.

Unable to Install from Stock ROM

Hello everybody,

I bought a used Samsung Captivate which runs stock ROM Android 2.2 (Build number: FROYO.UCKB1 , Baseband I897UCKB1)

I wanted to install the CM7 so I followed the official guide:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Captivate:_Rooting

I installed the Hardcore's SpeedMod Kernel so I entered in clockworkmod recovery (speedmod) and I ROOTED the phone.

Then I booted the phone and I installed the Rom Manager Premium and did the following steps:

1.	Select Captivate (MTD).

2.	Select Yes.

3.	Select ClockworkMod 2.x

4.	Select OK.

And a message came up:

“Rom manager has been set up to use existing recovery installation” is this Right?

I tried to restart to recovery through ROM Manager and instead of clockworkmod recovery , Android system recovery (3e) came up ! with the following error message:

E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)

E:signature verification failed

So I cannot do anything. I have to note that if I poweroff the phone then I am able to enter to clockworkmod recovery but not in MTD. I am entering to speedmod recovery which was used to root the phone. Can I use this recovery to flash Cyanogenmod? (I don’t thing so but I am just asking)

Does anybody have a solution for this? I want badly to install CM7 !

thanks

I think I might of encountered the same problem when doing this on a friends phone with stock froyo and using the update.zip that worked on eclair. Try going into recovery, most likely green if I remember and install the update.zip again that should make it the right orange, from there install the rom from your sd and if it bootloops hold down the volume buttons to restart recovery and get back to where you were, reinstall the zip, shouldn't bootloop from there. See how that goes.

(-edit hopefully you know the button method to restart recovery, just to clarify, don't want anyone to mess up lol.)
[Captivate Android Development] koukobin:
That means i will have to downgrade to Eclair? Do you have a link for this zip file? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
Install aio captivate tool box, a user here has a cool little program called 3-e t recovery installer, his name is 'trussel' make sure debugging mode is enabled, use the 3-e installer, then, reboot into recovery mode, try again, if it still wont work you may need to place clockwork recovery as a update.zip file on your sd card , then go into 3e recovery and install.zip. You have to do it twice, hope this helped, may be abit complicated I wrote it on my phone, if you neef more help tell me, I can give you links to all this when I get home
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Don't have to downgrade, give me one sec to copy cm recovery from my phone to an update.zip, I'll put on dropbox and post a link.

Use the Odin oneclick program and that will flash you back to stock JF6.. 2.1 eclair
[Captivate Android Development] koukobin:
Yes but

"This guide assumes the Samsung Captivate already has Android 2.2 build UCKB1"

so i don't thing i want to do that. I am not an expert i am just trying to follow the guide.

Thanks problem solved.

I place the zip you gave me and the rom (RC1) into sd card. I booted the phone into speedmod clockwork and the applied the zip file twice. Then the Clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 came up (if i remember correct). Finally i flashed the rom and the phone is running CN7 !!!

Thank you all

How come sometimes the 3G/H and bars are green, and sometimes white?

What does that signify?

...connected to GOOGLE ;)
[Captivate Android Development] koukobin:
Connection or no to Google servers i think

green means its connected to google's servers, white means its not, but you will still have data signal

Thanks Atnim for the response but I was hoping for a bit more clarification regarding ADW Launcher...

I mean, sure, its up to me which version to install, my question is, do I benefit / loose anything by installing the paid version vs using the one included in CM?

And I was hoping for some clear documentation with regards to how the CM development process works. Not meaning to put anyone out, Im just really fascinated with the whole process and I didnt see any infos on the wiki about it (admittedly I didnt look very hard, been busy the last couple of days but rest assured, if its in the wiki, I will look closer and find it).

If its internal documentation not made available to the public, Id love to have a read thru of it. Like I said, from a software development & management point of view, Im fascinated.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
ADW Launcher - we use the open source part, the paid app has more stuff, but I don't know the details. I actually use Launcher Pro or GO Launcher depending on my mood.

The documentation for CM development:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_from_source

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Gerrit

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Use_the_Issue_Tracker

You'll also need to know about "repo", "git" and the Android SDK - all of which are documented extensively on the web.

Basically any developer, anywhere, builds from source, add/modifies code to fix a bug, add a feature, and submits to Gerrit (http://review.cyanogenmod.com - you can look at that site to see currently pending submissions, things that have been merged, etc) for review. If the submission is accepted, the person accepting it (usually one of a very small number of people on the CyanogenMod team) marks it as accepted and it automatically gets merged into the github repositories. The next nightly will incorporate the change, and life goes on by moving to the next issue on issue tracker (or wherever the mood takes you).
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, I'm a little confused here. I'm trying to make sure I have everything right before I flash up to 42. I know I've been hearing from some people that you are supposed to flash to 41 before flashing to RC1, but according to the changelog page, RC1 was released prior to 41. So, what is the correct way of flashing this? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Upgrade whenever you want. I went from 35 to RC1. Unless I missed something I don't know why you would need yo flash 41 before RC1.. the updates are still cumulative so when you upgrade.. you get the old plus the new stuff. No need to go to 41 first.

*edit* ..actually I lied. I did flash #40 for a hot second.. but wasn't long before I flashed RC1.
[Captivate Android Development] MZeora:
Hi, ladies and gents... I might have done something wrong, but then again I have no clue, but it might be an issue and I hope there is a resolution.

I jumped the shark a bit and went from something around low 30s to nightly 42... I did the normal "upgrade" procedure and the initial looked good, so I go to reboot the phone and I get a "SD cannot mount" error and then it just loops until I pull the battery out.

This also has disabled my Recovery and Download combos, and ADB can't pick it up so I can't even use that to jump back into Recovery or Download. Oh and to make the matters worse, if the USB and Battery are in at the same time, it does the infinite attempt to boot process without giving me a chance to do anything ODIN related.

I know I tossed the Warranty out the window, and then burned many bridges with such a jump, but I hope I didn't just brick my phone beyond all reproach, but I'm not going to lie to myself: prognosis looks grim.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Sorry, aside from flashing back to stock, I don't have any great suggestions. However, you did not burn any bridges from flashing from 30 to 42. One of the great things about CM nightlies are that they are cumulative, you do not have to flash each one in order.

I just flashed from nightly 20 to RC1. For me, each time I was about to update to a new nightly, there was a new bug with a large impact (such as the bluetooth bug) that caused me to stay on the nightly 20 build (plus I was on vacation for 11 days and didn't flash during that time). I flashed directly to RC1 yesterday and the only problem I had was that I had to flash twice to get it to take and reflash g apps, both of which are known issues in new builds.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You might need to make or buy a jig to force it to download mode, then you can flash back to stock and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] MZeora:
Yeah, I would flash back to stock if I could get into Download mode, the time from boot screen to the split second where I MIGHT have access to reboot to download mode through ADB goes by faster than the system can process...

And the combos don't work either... I'm quite dead in the water without some additional knowledge...

3 button Combo into Recovery - Fail.

Gingerbread Combo into Recovery - Fail.

3 button Combo into Download - Fail.

Gingerbread Combo into Download - Fail.

ADB - Fail.

as I said... prognosis looks grim.

a Jig... might work... any way I could just use the USB to do the same deal? or it doesn't work that way?
[Captivate Android Development] techjeep:
When you say "3 button combo for Download" do you mean holding vol up+down and plugging in the USB from a powered off state? That usually always works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
The gingerbread combos wont work as they are for the new bootloaders I think. But have you tried taking your batt out and holding down volume up/down and plugging in to USB to the phone?.. its another method to get o to DL mode..
[Captivate Android Development] MZeora:
Yes, I know of no other in the 3-Button to get to Download Mode. - so far the CM7 Kernel's wish to turn on has kept it from working - at least that's what it feels like at this moment...

At your suggestion I gave it a run, but it doesn't work, no response from the phone at all. I think that is due to the fact that the CM7 Kernel at the moment doesn't support Low-Power Modes for charging or Download Mode yet. I'm sure they will get to it in the future, but at this moment, it looks like I'm spending some money and waiting for the Jig to arrive... *sighs*
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
download mode stuff happens in Sbl.bin... which all takes place WAY before the CM kernel even loads. there's no possible way for it to affect 3 button combination. blaming the kernel is equivalent (and just as likely) as blaming the modem for not being able to get into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I went from #34 to RC1 with no problems. Didn't even have to reflash gapps.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Same here 35 to RC1 and all good. Checking the new nightlies to see if I want to upgrade now :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, I'm currently running 42 and I'm curious if anyone is getting increased fc's? I actually had to battery pop my phone because phone fc looped. Should I try a reflash or just downgrade?
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Might want to wipe data if its a reoccurring theme, no fcs at all for me with heavy use atm.

[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Try these methods to see if you can get it to work:

http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode

My Samsung awhile back went into infinite reboot mode and a jig was the only thing that worked.

If your screen is coming on, the jig will work. The only time the jig will not work is if you changed your bootloaders (and you should know if you did this!!) so that they are either mismatched (i9000 bootloader mixed with i897 bootloader - this usually happens if you flashed an i9000 GB based rom and then try to use the 3-click recovery instead of the one click recovery) or incorrect altogether.

If you 'think' you currently have GB based bootloaders, make sure that you use the Odin-1 click, NOT the 3 click Odin (the 3 click Odin is the one where you pick the pit and tar files...the 1 click Odin has only two buttons, flash or master clear and you have no choices on what files to flash).

The Odin 1 click will flash BOTH sbl.bin and boot.bin correctly and put you back on Eclari/Froyo bootloaders (the 3 click will only flash sbl.bin for Eclair / Froyo and thus, if you have GB based bootloaders will permabrick your phone because you will have the Eclair / Froyo sbl.bin and the i9000 GB based boot.bin).

So, if you are unsure of what you have, MAKE SURE YOU USE 1 CLICK!!

Trust me, Ive made this mistake.

[Captivate Android Development] xtop:
was having this problem with 41 actually. trying 42 and hoping that fixes the problem.

also, forgive me if there's a fix for it/i'm stupid..but it seems like i need to flash twice to get it to stick. the first time i wipe, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot. and then it loops and goes through what looks to be a recovery menu (goes through it really fast) and then restarts..and just keeps doing this until i pull the battery and i force it into recovery to reflash. 2nd time goes without a hitch
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Not having that problem with the latest Neo, but battery is kinda so, so. I think I will flash back to Glitch once I get home
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
You don't have to pull the battery. You can use the three button combo anytime to get to recovery, even when in a bootloop.

As far as the bootloop itself goes, it is a common problem with some of the newer releases. The solution is to flash 2x (as you did).

So hopefully the double flashing issues are gone, which is good, that was the only thing holding me back from upgrading. Like some other people I am still in the low 20s for nightlies.

One thing I was wondering about the upgrade process: If I am using Rom Manager (premium) to upgrade to nightly 42 (or RC1, i haven't decided yet) can I just click on the rom I want and install straight from Rom Manager? How does this work if I need to double flash something?

Also in case things go bad for me, the main thing I need is to make sure I can three button into download mode? Thank you!

Double flashing should be gone now. You may have to do it once more to get to the latest by double flashing, but from then on you should not need to as the bug has been fixed.
