Anyone able to get rom manager working on leaked 2.2 for captivate? When i try to boot into recovery or backup my current rom, it stalls out and says signature file not found and is unable to continue... not in those exact words...

What rom are you on? Stock 2.2 has 3e recovery andthat did not work with 2.2. There is an Odin fix in the Dev forum and thenyou will be good.
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
I'm on leaked froyo. Please advise

I don't think all is lost .
See if you can get into download mode by Holding Volume Down + Pluging in USB
or by using the android sdk and writing "adb reboot download".
When your phone is in downloadmode you should be able to flash a stock rom again.
If you need more help we need more information. Which Rom before? What Rom now? What happens on boot?
Thank you so much for the info. So far I have not been able to get it into download mode or even get to manual mode. I am running stock android 2.1 and was trying to flash it back cause for some reason the phone just quiet working. But instead i flashed 2.1 for a different carrier. Any digestions?

Don't use the CWM from the ROM Manager.. just use the CWM posted in Krylons thread.
Thank you. Just did as instructed..

You have to go a little deeper. you have a clockworkmod folder u need to delete... I manually replaced the recovery file, as well.

I just picked up a G2X off Craigslist which was already rooted and running what looked to be a modified version of CM7 with some proprietary apps integrated. I knew I wanted to run stock CM7, so I was planning a full wipe, and I was thankful that he had already rooted the phone for me.
I have some kind of issue with CWMR, though. The one installed on the phone is a 4.0.x derivative, which for whatever reason was incapable of flashing the latest CM7 nightlies. Luckily I was able to boot into the existing OS install and flash the latest CWMR (5.x), which got the job done and installed the latest nightly properly.
Here's the thing, though; I can't seem to *keep* CWMR installed. After flashing the latest CM7 nightly, I found myself staring down the old 4.x version instead. On my other devices I just flash CWMR and I'm good to go. How come it's reverting with this device?
Did you flash with NVFlash or thru Rom Manager? NVFlash is the way to go. Link for it can be found in the CM7 thread.

I used rom manager, since that has always worked on other phones. I looked into nvflash, but it appears to be windows only; is there any option that can be performed directly on the device, or that works in linux?

Look in the dev section again there's also a way for Mac/Linux.

There's also a link in the CM7 nightly thread. The G2X requires nvflash method, the flash thru rom manager is considered a "fake"flash.

Excellent, even though the instructions assume Windows, I see that there's a Linux nvflash binary included in the zip which got me up to date. Thanks!

Even though the flash through Rom Manager is a "fake flash" it still requires root to flash as it flashes CWM to the cache directory. In order to root the phone you must install CWM at least the first time using the NVFlash method and then run the root zip. Once you have done that you can use the ROM Manager one but you must reboot into recovery using ROM Manager to run that version of CWM. I personally don't recommend Rom Manager for the G2X, but I must say, it does work great on some other devices. For many devices, including the Nexus One, Koush is doing the so-called "fake flash" (he and Cyanogen Steve don't consider it fake) to keep the ROM untouched to not interfer with OTA updates, etc. Once the phone is running recovery, whether from the actual recovery partition or from the cache parition where Koush's Rom Manger puts it, whatever it can do is the same and functions the same as recovery is simply an image loaded into phone memory and then run from RAM. One it is loaded and running the image in the ROM is not accessed again during that recovery session.
can any one give a link to a stock rom for the galaxy s 4g with no root
are you asking for stock Froyo (like from the factory) or is a stock leaked (not yet official) Gingerbread ROM?
I think I just read that Samsung is releasing Gingerbread for our phone today vie Kies Mini.

So i recently got an galaxy s2 skyrocket and performed my first android root using the skyrocket easy root zergrush app.
I am running stock 2.3.5 and am on ATT . The only things i have done is install the COM, froze the tether, and un installed a few bloatware items
My question is...
How would i restore this to stock? Un root and all?
Also how would i install 2.3.6?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
2.3.6 got pulled, so you'd have to install a custom rom.

If you rooted using DoomLord's method, then use this.

For 2.3.6 I would flash Silver's zip for the rom. You will need CWM.

Fellow noob
So I'm fairly new to android as well, I would highly suggest taking a look this thread goes over rooting, kernals roms and going back to unroot...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268
Then a couple of the apps that have really helped me out are Titanium Back up and Rom Manager. Makes flashing roms very easy, between easily flashing CWM and rebooting into CWM with just a click. Then TB with it's auto backup's and being able to quickly restore when you've flashed that new rom. (I paid for both of these apps, so I'm not sure what features the free versions have)
I flashed to Silvers rom to get to 2.3.6 and it's working great, was very easy to do!
Anyways, hope this helps!
