STUPID ME!

Do not Flash using Odin.

1. Place Zip on SD

2. Reboot to CWM Recovery

3. Install Zip from SD

Works Flawless

Using JK4

No issue (so far)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Yep. It is cwm flashable. Sorry you didn't know that. Well at least you got it figured out. When in doubt on anything check for it first in xda. I would hate to see a brick flashing things incorrectly.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kedakari:
after playing with JK4 it seems a little weak on cm7 #20

wifi is glitchy. After disconnecting and reconnecting the issue seems to be gone.

Where I used to get full WiFi signal I now get 50% signal. It was the same with the original modem, but at least I have service now.

Moving onto JV0 to check it out.

Edit: Jv0 = No Signal

WiFi works.

Sticking to JK4

Everything works fine. Flash Speedmod Kernel Before Flashing to CM7.

Smooth.

I had problems with JV0. It could only see T-Mobile's network for some reason, and not AT&T. I went to JV6 and have had no problems.

I've searched both threads with no results, but is anyone else having problems with animated gifs in the gallery? Since switching to CM7, they no longer play the animation for me.

Wanting to flash CM7 but having some issues...

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I last flashed a ROM on my phone...

I'm currently on Serendipity 5.12, but I'm wanting to give CM7 a try.

I've attempted following the instructions listed on the first post, but when I reboot my phone within ROM Manager after I set CWM to Captivate (MTD), it gets to an installation and I get a failure screen

E:failed to verify while-file signature
E:signature verification failed

Android System Recovery <3e> then comes up, but I can't reboot the phone without taking out the battery.

After I put the battery back in and power up the phone, "CWM 2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK" boots up and I can reboot the phone and everything is back to normal.

Am I doing something incorrect? Seems strange that I'd have issues during the first couple steps of the entire process..

Total n00b question, but I'm assuming that if I'm running an older version of Serendipity that I don't have to worry about running Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Did the cyanogenmod #21 or whatever you downloaded actually download? You can use root explorer and go to sdcard, clockworkmod, download,download.cyanogenmod.com, get

If it is there just long press on it and copy it to your sdcard (easier to find it that way). Then maybe download the speedmod kernel and flash it via Odin with it set to NOT autoreboot. Once it is done pull the battery and then go into recovery and flash the cyanogenmod #? that you downloaded. See if that will work for you. Or once you have just the CM7 update on your sdcard try flashing it from there without the speedmod kernel. Should be able to work one of those ways for you.

You should be fine with the bootloaders you have. CM7 ONLY needs the froyo bootloaders to install itself. CM7 uses a different boot kind of once it is installed called MTD. Basically a different boot partition but it will NOT touch the froyo/Eclair bootloaders. The ONLY time you need to worry about bootloaders is if you did the gingerbread bootloaders at some point. If so then you need to go back to stock with a safe method and then start over with the install.

I never actually got to downloading CM7 through ROM Manager... I just got to Flash CWM and then reboot into recovery using ROM Manager. After I did that, what I posted earlier was displayed.

I can reboot into CWM using the Reboot into Recovery option in Serendipity

I just copied the CM7 zip to my SD card along with the gapps.zip, so I'll just try and do it manually.

*fingers crossed*

You are running <3e> recovery which is Samsung's recovery with the signature check - which implies you're on Froyo. You need to be running something with either 2e recovery (Eclair) or something that has a working CWM on it already before you flash CM7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
please don't spread information you are not knowledgeable about. CM7 does not install or create any new bootloaders. we have only ever used eclair/froyo bootloaders, and we will most likely never transition to the gingerbread bootloaders (as there are not equivalent ones for every device). MTD is not a bootloader type, it is a partition layout and that is all. Everything from boot.bin, Sbl.bin, and param.lfs have not and will never be touched by CM for SGS and those behave exactly like they would on a samsung ROM.

but yes, the only time you have to worry about bootloaders is if you *ever* installed a samsung gingerbread ROM (aka perception, mosiac, continuum v5+), in which case you must revert to a stock eclair or froyo ROM before installing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Sorry. The way you explained it is what I was trying to say. I basically was trying to explain the CM7 doesn't touch the bootloaders and he should be okay flashing from the froyo rom he is on AS LONG as he didn't EVER run the gingerbread bootloaders. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I had to do it too. They say rooting with the 'rageinthecage' method fixes it, but I've always had to boot manually to CWM. It works just fine as long as you know where your zip files are.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdhommert:
cant get cm7 to acttually install on my captivate.

Following these instructions from XDA

Start with a rooted Eclair/Froyo running Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders (do not ask us how to do this).

Install ROMManager Premium.

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Captivate (MTD) (ignore the warning about not having an official, pick ClockworkMod 2.x).

Make sure you can reboot into ClockworkMod recovery from ROMManager. Reboot and get back into ROMManager Premium.

Choose download ROMs.

Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.

Check the Google Apps addon.

Check Backup current ROM!

Check wipe data, cache, dalvik cache.

Let ROMManager finish the installation.

boots into recovery and i get this..

Wow... I seem to have sorted the battery problem (For me anyway)

I've used CM7 ver 11-19 and ALL have had crap battery for me. It would die with moderate use by 3pm. So only last 7-8 hrs

I'm currently on nightly # 19 and installed Juice Defender 'just to see if it helps'.

Well, the phones been up for 7.41 hours and is at 65%. Cool!!!!!!!!

Same yesterday. I got till 11pm and plugged her in with 16% left.

Normally its dead by 3-5pm.

I will remover it for tomorrow and see what happens.

:)

PS. Can anyone help with a problem I have with a buddies Galaxy S?

It is running 2.2 and I have rooted it. I've loaded ROM Manager and CWM. But when I try to reboot into recovery it says 'recovery', but it is NOt a recovery menu like on the captivate, and it doesnt allow me to run the CWM recovery.

I wanted to install CM7. So downloaded Galaxy (MTD) (His phone is a GalaxyS) and chose cwm 2x.

In other words... he cant reboot into ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager.

Any ideas???

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uncle Irish:
I asked before but can't seem to get a good fix really

When playing certain games, the video performance is spotty. It lags and stutters. I have tried OC to 1.2, different kernels, etc, but it seems to remain spotty. Mainly it is Homerun Battle 3D. Dungeon Defenders stutters on occasion, but HRB3D is constant. The game supports up to OS 3.1, so 2.3.4 should be no problem. On Froyo it runs great, and also the i9000 Ginger ROMs. Just wondering if it is because the driver support is not yet there all the way in CM? Not sure if there are any tweaks that I can do to game performance with CM, but any suggestions are appreciated.

What would happen if I were to manually add Swype into the apps directory of CM7 and then flashed it? My gut feeling is that it would not work, but I'm wondering if anyone's tried it or knows in detail why it will or will not work. I've seen vague references to it needing something from the Samsung framework, but that's it. I know that the ROMs with the GB bootloaders have it, and I suspect that the reason lies in that direction.

I'm loving CM7, but I do miss Swype.

I'm very sorry if these things have been asked before (I'm sure it has), but the search button is not coming up with anything.

How do you get into download mode from CM7? For some reason I thought you could get there from clockwork recovery, but maybe not. And the [volume up] + [volume down] + plug in usb is not working either, it's just boots up the phone.

My second question is about space. All my apps install fine from TiBu, but then when I try to update some of the larger apps, it gives me the 'Sorry there is not enough space to install this'. Is there a fix for this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Download mode is holding V- + V+ and plugging in the USB cord and don't let go till you see it. Works for me everytime.

The general fix is don't use Titanium Backup - just download apps again. (i know i know :()

GPS works for me - it's always been hit or miss with any device. Some people using one build will say yes while others say no so it all depends. There is no definitive anything with nightly builds.

I get a lock very quickly. However I don't find it to be as accurate as my garmin. But for apps such as weather widgets or anything else that requires GPS, it works pretty well. Google picks up location with no problem:)

No issues with bluetooth.. don't use it often, but check to make sure it's working with my updates and such.

Download Speed?

So I just got my Captivate replaced, the new one is a 1008 batch. I just finished installing CM7 again and setting it all back up, my download speed is terrible. only getting .04mb down using the jk4 modem, I used to get 4mb down. Any suggestions? I'm on the latest nightly #23

Edit: tried a few modems with the same results, maybe i will have to flash back to stock and try again.

Edit #2: Ok I flashed back to nightly #20 and my download speed is back to 4mb, must be something in nightly #23 that my phone doesn't like.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Make sure if you flash any modems to choose the newer style modems (in case you didn't) or you will have unknown baseband issues.

Sadly, me becoming more normal is the problem. I no longer have much time to devote to fun things like hacking. Besides, CM7 is the first ROM I ever flashed that didn't have Swype pre-installed, so I never heard of the beta program. Fortunately, upgrading this one takes almost no time at all with premium rom manager. Thanks for the heads up though.

I can't be the only person who is having problems with animated gifs in the gallery. They used to play normally in stock 2.1. Then in 2.2 ROMS they tended to slow down a bit. Now in 2.3 they don't appear to play at all, admittedly only on one ROM (though 8 different versions).

Thanks for the response, but neither of these things work for me.

1. I cannot enter download mode using the above combo or any other (have tried many times). I have also tried adb, but I guess this doesn't work in cm7. Is there any other way?

2. My problem with my apps is that for the apps I currently have, some of them give me the 'sorry there is not enough space...' when I try to update them (through market). Any ideas here?

Because your on Samsung Gingerbread (GR-12) Read this link http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24171-faq-cm7-on-the-samsung-captivate/

Q: Do I really need to be on Froyo to install this ROM?

Q: I'm already on Gingerbread from Samsung, why do I have to downgrade before installing?

A: Samsung included new bootloaders in the Gingerbread updates that are incompatible with CyanogenMod 7. They break a number of things including, but not limited to, graphical distortion at boot time and broken external SD card. To fix this would require reworking the entire kernel to be based off of Samsung's code drop instead of the far more open (and better written) Nexus S source code. If you don't like it, complain to Samsung for introducing new bootloaders.

I recommend reading the FAQ before you try anything. Need to go back to stock Froyo first

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Ha e you tried a jig to get you into download mode? Maybe your only bet if none of the other ways will work for you. And I have never used adb but I believe it does work with CM7 if you have the right drivers.

#2 As far as apps go how many do you have? Are they on the sdcard? Are they in the internal?

I have about 223 apps installed and no issues. I use titanium backup to move all apps to internal since it gets rid of my having to force close launcher pro on every reboot.

Can you get into recovery with the extended power button? If so try a factory reset which should wipe out all your user apps and user data. Then once it is all working try adding on APPS ONLY without data one at a time. Then if no issues are present restore data only for the apps. Or maybe better but would take you longer is redownload the apps one by one from the market after the factory reset. Then you are basically starting fresh.

I am not too sure of all your issues but just trying to throw out what I would do in your case.

Another option is flash the 3 button fix found in xda. It may get you back to working buttons. DONT DO THIS IF YOU HAVE THE GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADER INSTALLED. IF YOU EVER DID FLASH THE GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADERS IT IS PROBABLY THE ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING YOUR TROUBLES.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Just download the Escapist Kernel or the original initial kernel and flash it with Odin. NO NEED to go back to stock. This will put the correct cwm version back on your phone. You can either then go into recovery and restore a backup of #24. Or you can download #25 or #26 and flash it via rom manager or cwm. NO NEED to go back to stock unless you want to.

Here is a link to the initial kernel from 0318 just unzip it and put it in the PDA slot in Odin and flash it. Then restore your nightly #23 or older. Then you will be back to normal and then can safely flash #25 or #26 without the issue of #24
