I rooted my at&t samsung captivate about a week ago. I have no idea how to install ROMs. I have ROM Manager. I want to get cognition 2.2 but when my computer doesn't recognize my phone when i plug it in, so i can't install ROMs from the computer. Can you install cognition by a QR code or what? Is there something better that cognition that i should install? Please help.

Do you have USB debugging enabled? Check and see and if not, go to USB settings and check mass storage. Move the downloaded ROM to your SD card and open up Rom Manager. Make sure you install Clockwork Recovery Mod First and then select install ROM from sd card. It will reboot your phone into recovery mode, then use the volume buttons and power button to select re-install packages, this will send you into Clockwork recovery mode. Select install ROM from SD card, and choose the .zip ROM and install. MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR PHONE USING MYBACKUP OR TITANIUM BACKUP!
I also have a ROM that I am using on my phone that I think is better than Cognition. It's called Dorian's UGJK3 2.2 Gingerbread Edition and it's basically a gingerbread theme over 2.2. You would also install this over 2.1 with ROM manager.

I suggest you do some more reading before installing roms, if you can't even copy a file to the phone i can't even imagine what you're going to do if something goes wrong and you need to flash the phone with odin.
Head to the captivate dev section and read the stickies.

Hello, please let me know what I'm doing wrong, I've looked exhaustively for a solution to my problem on my own but I can't seem to find one:
1.) Rooted my G2x
2.) Installed Clockwork ROM Manager
3.) Copied two separate Gingerbread ROMs, Cyanogen 7, and Modaco into Root Folder (no sd card, just phone storage)
4.) Tried flashing both Roms multiple times with Rom Manager by both rebooting into recovery and installing from .zip (this option won't display either of the ROMs, just the log file folder.) I have tried installing .zip from SD in ROM Manager, and the phone just reboots as if nothing has happened.
*I believe ROM Manager does have difficulty mounting the phone storage, as it takes a full twenty count before attempting to flash the ROM.
**I don't know if this helps, but I have not received the OTA Gingerbread update from T-Mobile (even when my phone was unrooted), and when I prompt for the OTA update, I receive a "connection error" message. The LG Updater Tool indicates that my phone is "up to date" when it clearly, is Froyo 2.2.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated with this issue guys, I usually scour forums for answers to my questions or fumble my way through it myself, but this has really sucked out lots of hours from my life.
No external sd card
You have to have a external to flash roms if im not mistaken
when you install recovery there are 2 choices external storage and internal storage if you dont have an sdcard reinstall clockwork using the internal option. that should do the trick for you.

I am going to try with an external SD card. Also, I am unsure of how to flash it to use internal storage, I checked the settings through ROM manager and couldn't find out how to do it. Is this something I access during Recovery mode? Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, I'll definitely post with results.

I can't quite tell if you used rom manager to flash CWM, but if you did then make sure to use nvflash. I don't know if it could cause things not to work, but it's the only way to guarantee you can always get into recovery. As people have said above, try to use external, although I hadn't read anything about problems with using internal to flash roms, at least if nvflash has been used.
I'll assume you've already heard of wiping/factory reset and all that since you joined a few years back, but make sure to do it when going to a new rom. As for the update issues, I would say just restore stock froyo, maybe from the nandroid tgagunman created if something is wrong with yours, factory reset it just to be careful, unroot using superoneclick, flash stock recovery using tgagunman's one click recovery flasher, and make sure usb drivers are up to date.
If you really can't get the new baseband and roms working after all that... tell t-mobile you can't get the update and ask for a new one haha.
Thanks Guys...
Danish, Eagle, Water, thanks a lot to all of you guys. I was able to flash a new ROM using an External SD card, I'm still having problems finding a ROM that is stable and is compatible with all of the apps I want to use (I'm currently having difficulty installing Tooyoou on the Bionix ROM I downloaded, which is otherwise AWESOME). I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but I'd like to get my extra $2.50 a month from the program.
Oh and NV Flash...
NV Flash helped me when I messed up my G2x's ability to boot into recovery with a Cyanogenmod 7 ROM build. Here's a link to a guide that helped immensely for anyone who finds themselves in this thread with a similar issue:

I've been using CM7 on my Unlocked i9023 Nexus S for the last 2 months but for some reason it keeps rebooting once in 3-5 days for no aparent reason.
I've seen that ICS officially started rolling out for my phone model yesterday. Do I have to revert to stock rom before upgrading to ICS? How do I do that?
Incase I don't have to roll back, how would I install ICS?
Turning this thread into a place for other people who have a custom rom installed and no clue about how to install anything else would be mighty helpful...

mmm well i expect u know how to Flash ... as u already have installed CM7 b4 ... just install Rom manager and go to download Rom and go to the last one and download stock ICS or install the 2.3.3 update =] then install update as follows it might take a few days for it to get pushed to ur device
I actually have no memory of how I installed CM7 because I used some guide. It's like driving with a GPS; it gets you to places but when you try to get there again, you have no idea how you drove there in the first place. :/
ok so heres what you do if you want to get to the official ics 4.0.3
1.open rom manager and find download roms from there go down to stock roms.
2. find 2.3.3 and download it
3.when its done choose the last 2 boxes when prompted.
4. phone will flash back to 2.3.3
5 skip the setup and connect to wifi and go to menu settings about phone software updates
6.it will download the stock 2.3.6 which has to be flashed so flash that
7.rename ur ics file i assume u have to update.zip (if u name it update.zip it will show up as update.zip.zip so just name it update)
8 ok now 2.3.6 is up and runnig plug in and transfer the update to the root of ur sd card
9. unplug and power down
10. volume up and power to enter bootloader. choose recovery and push power
11. triangle with android so push volume up and power to enter stock recovery
12. install update.zip find it and push power
13. enjoy ics
I have a Nexus S 4G that was running Gingerbread 2.3.7, I installed ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 and aokp_crespo4g_build-27.zip & gapps-ics-20120212-signed.zip.
Everything worked fine for a few days then I started having errors so I panicked and decided to revert back to gingerbread. The only build I could find,(my 'backup' turned out to be bad), was one_click_stock.zip from "[SCRIPT] [NS4G] [UPDATED] One Click Return to stock V2.0". Not exactly sure what I did wrong but it bombed out while I was attempting to install it.
I can still talk to the phone via the usb cable and "mount USB storage" selection in the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0. However, Run.bat in 'return to stock' can't find the phone, when I try to run it.
I know I was a dumbshxx for playing with something I didn't really understand, but if there is anyway to restore my phone to the stock OS, I will do whatever is needed. I am more than willing to mail it in if someone is willing to see if they can repair my screw-up.
Thanks, Richard B.
so you wanna to go back to stock unrooted or just flash a rom
and you can get to recovery right if so just flash a rom
Thanks, I got it figured out!
I just got a replacement G2X through phone insurance. The new phone froze every 5 or 10 minutes and required a battery pull to get it up and running again. I had heard this was a software problem so I flashed clockwork mod, rooted it and installed Eagle's Blood ota gingerbread 2.3.7 in the hopes that it would solve the issue. I thought gapps were included but this turned out not to be the case. I installed the USB drivers for the G2x but now when I plug it in I get the installing USB drivers message. At least one of the installations fails every time. As a result, I can't mount the phone and place gapps on it via USB nor can I download gapps directly to the phone because I get an endless loop on the browser when I click the link on goo inside me. The good news is that flashing the custom ROM seems to have solved the freezing problem. The bad news... You already read it. Of course I forgot to do a nandroid backup so I can't flash back to the buggy ROM that my computer played well with.
Anyone have any suggestions?
You don't have to use the link provided, just Google a link instead. Or type in "gapps versions" and click at the CM7 wiki link.
Or use this link. http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

Thanks! I had to find a micro SD card before it would download but it worked. Once I installed gapps it resolved the issue with computer connectivity as well. Who knew gapps were THAT important?
I'm looking to root and flash JB onto a friend's Infuse. He's still on GB and has no idea about roms and stuff. So I need to pick a good stable rom with reasonable speed. I'm not sure whether 4.2.1 roms work well or if its safer to remain with 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 roms? Please suggest a rom for basic everyday use, not a power user. Thanks to the active community!
Good solid rom

Make sure you do all the right stuff (Wipe data, cache, partition), then install. It is by far the most trouble free all-in-one I have used.

Thanks guys, after a lot of forum surfing I've found the following method: SuperOneClick Root-> e3 recovery -> CWM -> Now should I install an ICS rom and then go to a JB rom as suggested in the sticky?
I also saw
Method B:
1. Run this One-Click ICS Recovery
2. Boot into Download Mode, and Flash
3. Phone will hang; hold vol+, vol- & power, andrelease power when you see the samsung logo to enter recovery.
Once it boots into ICS, turn off and remove your external sdcard before you move on to flashing JB .At which stage of the process does this happen? Have I understood it all right?
P.S. The phone is on stock GB.

Once you get it into download mode, you can flash the package here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523&highlight=odin+packages. Option D has everything. Let Odin finish and let your phone go through boot. It takes a while for Odin to program, and you will hear it "talk" to you while it is programming. Finish that, and do all the preliminary stuff (google account, etc...if you want), then reboot it in recovery mode (just hit the power off button and recovery boot will be an option). Go get an ICS rom, put it on your phone. I went through windows and made a folder called roms. Just plug phone in, and select the usb "on" button. It is a usb icon at top, swipe it down and you will see it. After that you can see it in My Computer. If you can't it means that you have no usb drivers. Look for them or install Samsung Kies. If you can see it, put that rom you downloaded into the folder you made or chose.In CWM (the red menu in GB, and blue in ICS and JB), choose Wipe data/factory, and then wipe cache partition, and then advanced-wipe dalvik. Then back at main menu, choose install from zip. Find your rom and then install it. Pay attention if the rom needs gapps. Remics has it built in. That is one reason I picked that one. Good Luck
