I don't know anything about what would/would not work on other phones, and they would likely require very different methods to get CM up and running on them. Rooting every phone is different; some are easier than others.

I'd suggest heading over to the XDA forums for the Atrix and asking there. I'm sure someone over there could help you out.

Updating to New Market

Hello All,

I am using CM7 and am currently running the old android market. Will CM& users' android market update itself to the new version, or must we download the new market apk ourselves?

Thank you.

Nightly Build 167 had this in the release notes.

Is this supposed to let me listen to music through speakers via the audio connection in the Samsung Dock?

This is the one feature I miss, from using CM7.

When I go into Settings > Dock > Audio is still greyed out. I trying the audio redirection app in the market too, but it doesn't work with this kernel.

Hello all,

I have noticed a weird thing about CM7 and am curious if anyone else is experiencing the same issues. My wifi signal indicator and the "H" mobile data symbol are sometimes displayed in the color grey, and sometimes in the gingerbread classic green color.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I recently flashed the newest version of cm7, but now, I get an error every time I try to add an account to my phone. I also had to download the .apk file for the market, because it's not included with the rom. Has anyone else experience this and found a solution? I can't access the market at all from my phone unless I add an account.

CM7 doesn't include any Google apps in the install package for legal reasons, including the Market. If you want them, you have to either flash the gapps package after installation out manually download them after you reboot.

I'm having trouble keeping this rom running stable for a full 24 hours. I don't do anything major, just text, web browsing and a few light games such as chess. At first boot it runs extremely well and smooth however before the end of the day often times it would randomly freeze up, no force closes and I have to pull the battery. Sometimes when it freezes it would do a soft reboot (go directly to the CM7 spinning boot screen) and when it boots back it runs fine for about another 18 hours or so. Right now I'm on nightly 165 but I've also tried CM 7.1 stable on both the stock kernel and glitch kernel (I thought it fixed a day after I flashed glitch but it started happening a few hours later).

I've never had this problem when CM7 for the captivate was pretty early in its stages (Before it got officially merged).

Edit: Forgot to mention several sleep deaths - haven't had a charge death but I would randomly get a sleep death. I would use the phone and 2 minutes later try to go back and do something but it won't turn on.

Edit2: How should I go about getting a log or what other information would prove useful?

Hi everyone, I am trying to install the Cyanogenmod 7 rom from stock Froyo 2.2 on my Captivate (rooted using Super One Click).

When trying to reboot into the installed Clockwork Recovery from Rom Manager Premium, it just takes me to the Samsung S3 Recovery screen. From what I've read, Clockwork Recovery will not work with S3, but will work after installing a kernel using Odin that uses S2. Which kernel should I flash? My Froyo build number is UCKB1. I'm looking into CF-root kernel, but there is no KB1 kernel listed in the downloads.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

Is there a simpler way to do this? I am a little scared of flashing a kernel because so many people have reported in comments that they are left unbeatable after installing a kernel to their Galaxy S phones. I'm surprised that none of the Captivate Rom Manager guides mention anything about "make sure you have Samsung S2 recovery."

Thanks in advance for any comments.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
I don't know of a way to do it without flashing another kernel (or back to Eclair, but you're flashing either way). While it is always possible that a bad flash could leave you unbootable, it's almost always recoverable and looks much scarier than it actually is.

CM7's official instructions for coming from 2.2 are here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide

It includes good directions and all of the links to get up and running. Make sure you follow all of the instructions exactly as written and you'll be fine. If you get stuck, there are always people here willing to help you out.

Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJareBear:
Big Problem!

So I've been running CM7 since the day I bought my Captivate. I finally decided to try a MIUI rom. I got MIUI up and running but the devs and other users suggested flashing the Glitch kernel for better use. It went into a boot loop after flashing Glitch. So I figured oh well, I'll just use CM7 again. Because I don't have the 3 button fix and it was in a boot loop I just used Odin to flash back to stock. (I use Odin whenever i get into a bootloop. Sounds like a lot but I'm used to it.) Anyways I root and everything but when I go to install CM7, the phone won't. That has never happened before in the hundreds of times I've flashed CM7. It'll boot to the ATT/World Phone screen, then the CM/SGS/kernel screen the go into recovery for a split second and do this over and over again. It goes soooo fast you can't read what is says while in recovery. (I've included a video to show what happens.) That was after trying to install with ROM Manager. many say you shouldn't use that so I used Odin again, rooted and everything to try again, but this time boot into recovery and install manually. That resulted in the same. So I'm stuck on Eclair... What do I do? :| I may not have included all details (I just wrote this in frustration) so ask me questions if you need more info. Thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
I gave my "better" way of upgrading a couple of pages ago. Links here and here. The first link is instructions using Odin, the second is for using Heimdall. Take your pick; both work.

The reason I think my way is "better" is simply because I've never had any success EVER flashing CM7 from Froyo/Eclair recovery. Every time I've tried it, it's always bootlooped exactly the way TheJareBear indicated, so this is for you too. Going from a Gingerbread custom kernel with CWM recovery built in...never had a problem.

As far as kernel flashing goes...it's no big deal. You're not going to hard brick your phone unless you flash bootloaders and there's a screw up specifically in the middle of writing the bootloaders. Even when flashing bootloaders, the chances of a hard brick are really, really low (like 1 in 10,000, if even that high). Flash the Captivate Gingerbread bootloaders once, then never flash bootloaders again. If you flash a kernel and it won't boot, you should still be able to get to CWM recovery, so just flash it again. If that fails, you should be able to get to download mode. From there, you can flash anything stock and get your phone back in working order right quick. Then just try again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJareBear:
So would the gingerbread bootloaders give you the 3 button combo? I used to have them but ever since I used Odin the first time it went away.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
I believe it does, but I'm not certain. If I remember right, the whole 3 button combo problem was an issue with early Froyo bootloaders. I've heard that the Gingerbread bootloaders do not have that problem. I don't know for certain because I've never had the problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJareBear:
Ok, thanks anyways :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
I do not have a working 3 button combo on eclair or froyo, but I can confirm that they work as expected after upgrading to Gingerbread bootloaders. Once you are on GB, only flash bootloader-free packages and you won't have to worry about losing your button combo again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un1x3384:
Thanks very much for the link! I'm running CM7 now after flashing that kernel with a breeze. Now I know where to look when installing CM in the future.

Thank you for the good info. I followed the link apbthe posted before reading your post and was extremely lucky to not be left unbootable. I did end up stuck in a boot loop after flashing, but just held (Volume Up, Power, Home) to find a new CM7 version of CWM recovery. I flashed again and everything went smoothly... no boot loop. Strange, but I'm so happy to finally ditch stock 2.2. Thanks again for your help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJareBear:
So I found this...

An Odin One-Click package for I897UCKI2 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. It says it includes the Gingerbread bootloaders. I'm going to go ahead and give it a try since I just couldn't find the GB bootloaders by themselves.

EDIT: I used that and it works GREAT! Now I can try CM7 again :)

EDIT2: So even after being of Samsung Stock Gingerbread with the GB Bootloaders, I'm still getting the same problem I had before flashing CM7
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
That was the Odin package I linked to in my first post. ;)

FYI, in my second post there's a link to a bootloaders only package.

I would also advise grabbing the no bootloaders version of that package. Once you're on the GB bootloaders you should never flash them again. The no bootloaders version can be your fallback "need to flash stock for some reason" package.

Stuck in boot loop after flashing gapp.zip

I recently flashed cm 7 with no issue but failed to backup the google apps. I searched the internet and found a gapp.zip file and flashed that on my phone. Now im stuck in a boot loop with no foreseeable way of getting out of it. I tried clearing the cashe, dalvik cashe and even wiping the system completely. I also tried re flashing cm7, and the gapp.zip file several times to no avail. I would greatly appreciate any advice that you all could give me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I don't know where you got your gapps version, but you may want to try the Cyanogen 7.1 / gapps combo found here. Might solve your issues.

thank you so much jmtheiss, but could you help me with this boot loop situation. Its very frustrating. Thanks again!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Depending on where you started (Gingerbread or Froyo bootloaders), I would suggest flashing back to complete stock (without flashing bootloaders), and then try again to install CM7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarken07:
I had froyo. Also i have no clue how to flash back to stock with or without using bootloaders. If you could tell me how or direct me somewhere where i could learn how I would greatly appreciate it. Sorry for being a "noob", im just very frustraded by this situation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Not a problem. As you didn't flash bootloaders, you've got some choices:

1. Flash a Froyo no-bootloader package and stay in the CM7 world. This is the safer route, as you won't be touching the one thing that can really, truly mess up your phone: the bootloaders. Downside is that you can't flash Gingerbread roms from this.

2. Flash a Gingerbread stock package with bootloaders. You'll be able to flash pretty much any rom you want, Gingerbread or Froyo. Downside is that you're touching the bootloaders, and no matter how small of a risk it is, there is a very real risk of hard bricking your phone.

That being said, go to this page. There is a one-click Eclair JF6 rom without bootloaders. Use that for option 1. There is also a UCKI2 Gingerbread with bootloaders and CWM (it will be in the second post of the thread that the page I put up links to). Use that for option 2.

Once you've flashed one of those, you should be in good shape to go back to CM7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
You sais wiped system? Did you mean or try getting into recovery, Going to wipe data/factory reset? This WILL wipe out the gapps and all you user apps. So hopefully you have them backed up with titanium backup.

So got to recovery

Wipe data/factory reset

Install zip from SD card

Choose zip from SD card

(Go to where you have the newest nightly saved, whetber it is on you SD card or in SD card, clockworkmod, download cyanogenmod, get, CHOOSE newest nightly.

THIS WILL PUT YOU BACK ON TO STOCK CM7.

THEN BEFORE you exit cwm recovery go to install zip from SD card, choose zip from sdcard, GO TO WHERE YOU HAVE THE CM7 GAPPS (NOT THE ONE YOU HAD ISSUES WITH) and flash the gapps. If you do NOT have the correct gapps installed just don't worry about it yet. Reboot phone and see if it boots up.

Then once it is booted up go here to get the correct GAPPS ZIP

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

and put it onto hour sdcard. Go back out to recovery from the power button menu, installed front sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, pick the gapps you just placed there and flash it. Now you should be golden.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I'd say to try RockRatt's idea first. If that won't work, you should be able to go to download mode and flash from Odin.

To get to DL mode, you should just need to (from a powered-off state), hold Vol+ and Vol-, then insert the USB cable.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you can't get out of the bootloops, you may need to flash back to stock using the directions above.

If that isn't something you're comfortable with, you could take a completely different route and try flashing MIUI. It uses the same BML/MTD setup as CM7 - I actually went that way once to get out of a bizarre CM7 setup. At the very least, it will get you somewhere where you can see the files on your phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Okay try this before you use Odin. Go back to recovery and again wipe data/factory reset. Next flash CM7. Once it is done and while you are still in cwm recovery flash CM7 a second time. Do NOT reflash gapps as doing it this way in cwm will not get rid of gapps for you.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If Odin is being problematic, try these two things:

1. Reset your computer, and turn off your phone. Let the computer settle. Start Odin on your computer, and let it settle. Plug your USB cable into a different port (like the back of your computer). Start your phone into download mode, and let it settle. Then plug your phone into the USB cable. See if Odin sees it then.

2. Try a Heimdall-based flashing package. Sometimes Heimdall works more effectively than Odin.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I don't know which OS you're using, but if you're on Windows Vista or 7, you will need to try right-clicking on either ODIN or Heimdall and choosing the "run as administrator" option (if you haven't done that already).

You may also need to uninstall any samsung drivers and reinstall them, as sometimes that will help to clear up issues.

I know this process is really frustrating, but keep pushing forward with it - eventually the phone will cave in to your will. :)

Grab the heimdall packages here (look for the debian packages).

In Ubuntu, there is a software manager (I forget its name) that will allow you to install Java - make sure that's in place.

Beyond that, I don't know how much I can help. I don't have Linux available to point you in the right direction. I would suggest either contacting BenjaminDobell (the developer of Heimdall), or perhaps one of the other XDA members who knows how to use Heimdall on Linux would be willing to chime in with information.
