If I want to install a new rom, must I use Odin to go back to stock, then flash? Or can I simply just put the new rom in my sd card and just flash? (I'm hoping its the latter)
As long as you not going 2.2 to 2.3 or the other way around. You should be ok. make sure factory reset before flash

I'd recommend also reading up in the first few posts of whatever rom you're flashing to see what they recommend. Some roms suggest going back to stock to avoid issues, and if you're moving between roms, a clean flash can't hurt.
And the previous poster is right about the GB/froyo transfer - read a lot if you're thinking of doing that.
I always flash back to stock when flashing anything new, even if it's not needed. It takes a few minutes, but ensures you go through the whole process correctly. As others have said though, flashing to a 2.3 ROM is a completely different process. You'll get a boot loop if you try and do it without flashing GB bootloaders and a kernel with Odin 1.7 first.
Really? So I can go from a 2.2 based rom (like Teamwhiskeys Bionix-v) to a 2.2.1 based rom (like Toxic 7) just by placing the new rom in my sd card and reflashing?
Why do people stress the use of Odin?

Thanks for answering my questions bro. And to answer yours, because my girlfriend has a captivate and I'm doing some research on some roms for heron this board. And I on the other hand have a Vibrant and had that question to ask so I did on this board since I was already on it.....that is all.

There's a pretty big selection of 2.3 ROMS here, but they're not as "complete" as the 2.2 ROMS, typically in battery life and a few other minor things. Although it always comes down to personal taste, I'd probably suggest Andromeda3.

I'm coming from the Vibrant forums, and am looking for the best rom to flash onto my friends Captivate. Which rom in your opinion is the best for day to day use? Also are there any roms that still utilize the Touchwiz launcher?
Assonance is the best.
Sent using smoke signals.
Do you know of any roms that contain the Touchwiz launcher?
I'm pretty sure DG has kept a modified version of the TW Launcher in his latest Perception build. And considering it's a DesignGears Rom, you know it's pretty solid.
I'm personally using Auxura at the moment. My next step is going Phoenix (same dev) or Perception.
Alright thanks for the reply. Do you know if Odining back to stock is absolutely necessary? In the Vibrant forums it's totally optional and only precautionary, but it seems like nearly every Dev has it listed as a MUST DO in this forum.
Follow the more rational conventional wisdom

It's paranoid and unnecessary unless you know/suspect that the ROMs use kernels with conflicting filesystems. Just wipe /data and /cache.
Ok guys we all know that best rom threads dont work, Best bet is to try them each over time and make your own mind up.
since there seems to be so much confusion about this update for those of us that are on stock 2.3.3 rom and are rooted and s off revolutionary , i would like to request a rooted stock version of 2.3.4 since i don't know what would happen if i try to apply this ota update with my situation. thanks

I agree. And those people pushing us to use custom roms must think that they're cool just cause they're using custom roms. Funny, when you go to the custom rom threads that they're pushing us to use, they have tons of issues and problems too! A lot more than the stock rom ones. And yet they tell you to install custom roms when you post having issues with the stock one, like they don't already have their own. I myself use custom roms every once in a while, I admit. But for reliability on the gps, camera, MMS size etc., I always go back to my nandroid backup. Custom roms are just for aesthetics and not too reliable as some of these fanatics are claiming. Also, my nandroid sensation with bloat removed is just as fast or even faster than most of these custom rom ones. And more reliable.

Welcome to a new and sick, twisted world
Ever wish you could take one of those nice shiny GalaxyS (i9000) ROMs and flash it to your lovely Infuse? Well now you CAN! Yes, I say GO AHEAD and flash away. With LinuxBozo's magic Hellraiser, you can raise a little hell with any JVQ based i9000 ROM on your Infuse.
How's it work?
Select any JVQ based ROM for the i9000. If you don't know what this is, then this is not for you.
Push your selected ROM to your /sdcard
Download Hellraiser below
Push Hellraiser to your /sdcard
Reboot into Recovery (RED RECOVERY PREFERRED)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Flash your chosen JVQ ROM
Flash Hellraiser immediately after
Reboot and enjoy your JVQ ROM goodness
PLEASE NOTE: I am not responsible if something goes wrong. Seriously. If you don't flash Hellraiser correctly, you can be left with a phone that needs to be returned to stock with Odin or Heimdall. If you don't know how to do this, this is not for you.
FAQ:
Do I need to disable Voodoo Lagfix?
Nope.
Can I flash JVO/JVR/JVP ROMs as well?
You should be able to, but I only tested with JVQ. So you are on your own there.
Can I flash i9000 Kernels with this?
NO
Can I flash other Infuse Kernels, like Infusion to get OC/UV?
YES. Neat, huh?
Can I flash i9000 CM7 or MIUI with this?
NO. This will only work with Samsung based ROMs
Can I flash Samsung based Captivate ROMs as well?
Has been successfully done by at least one person. Make sure you use a Samsung based Gingerbread ROM.
Which ROM do you recommend?
Which one you choose really is a matter of preference. However, I tested with Sensation from Crysis21: http://is.gd/D5LJm6
How does this work behind the scenes? How is this even possible?
What Hellraiser does is flash in appropriate hardware libraries and userspace applications, and the Infuse specific modem (UCKE3) and kernel. This allows the existing i9000 ROM to work on the Infuse all while still thinking it's an i9000, but addressing the Infuse hardware.

What is Hellraiser? Any links?
I figure it allows you to put i9000 roms on it, but only certain kinds?
Does this allow me to put a fully functional GB rom on my Infuse? If so, how's this different than your work with porting over CM7?
Nice to see another dev is using a Q&A thread. stickied.
Hey man, Great Work!
I was wondering, does HellRaiser works with 100% of the Infuse's hardware?
I'm asking because I am aware you've been fixing the Bluetooth/GPS modules to bring that functionality to CM7.
So, is hellraiser a 100% hardware thing or does it have the same issues with bluetooth and voodoo sound driver than the unofficial CM7?
Thanks in advance and apologies if this question has been addressed somewhere else.

There's more detail in development. Read there, ask here.
Define "fully functional"? With the exception of HDMI and data speed issues in some areas, ROMs derived from the Rogers Gingerbread release were fully functional.
Since the low-level video/audio/etc stuff from Hellraiser is derived from that same ROM, the same limitations apply.
But it lets you take any i9000 ROM based on the Samsung Gingerbread release (tested with an XXJVQ-based ROM) and use it on the Infuse.
It will NOT work for getting anything CM7-based from the i9000 to work. CM7 has a very different low-level architecture than Samsung ROMs (which is, for example, why Bluetooth still isn't working in CM7 on the Infuse.)
I'm sure LB will still be working CM7, but every once in a while you need to take a break and do something else. LB, gtg, and Mikey have been working this off and on for a few weeks. CM7 was getting more focus, but there's only so much bashing your head against the CG2900 driver that a man can take before you go do something else for a bit. Hellraiser is the result of LB taking a break from Bluetooth.
It works AMAZING. It opens up a world of i9000 and Captivate roms for us to flash.
So far Blockbuster, Mosaic, and Darky's worked perfect.
Hellraiser
would somebody mind posting the full mediafire link for hellraiser please ... for some reason the is.gd link isn't working for me. Ty.

Yes. It's quite a bit easier to go from Samsung ROM to Samsung ROM than it is switching over to something that's completely open source like CM7. Samsung uses many closed source drivers, which we can drop into other Samsung ROMs based around the original GalaxyS platform, like the i9000 and the Captivate.

Would love to hear feedback from people on why they like the ROM they have chosen.
Right now Infused 2.0.2 has been my ROM of choice because it's fast and I can't find a single thing wrong with it but if there's a compelling reason to check out some of the i9000 ROMs I might do so!
Also kudos to LB this is a really clever idea

I am running the one LB was running, Sensation. I gotta say its soo much smoother than 2.0.x.... I was on 2.0.1 through 4... and they just didnt seem to be right.. gtg knows his stuff but until GB is official on our phones this is the next best thing right now. battery life is awesome also, been unplugged since 3am its 1pm now, with calls, bt, wifi im at 75%
Infused is one of the best roms that I've ever used, fast, great battery life. But, I had a Captivate before that. And just seeing those Cappy roms on our big screen is neat. Nothing life-changing, just neat. If you're a tinkerer and enjoy playing around with roms, this is a must.

Hi Everyone. I am trying to larn all this rooting and flashing thing! I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G. The Rom I am using is MIUI android 2.3.5 the kernel is 2.6.35.13-cyanogenmod. First off I need to know if this is the right rom to be using, I have a couple issues. One is that i dont have 4g anymore. Two is that my phone no longer works with my bluetooth in my car. Before it was rooted my phone hooked up to the car with no issues.
Most important like i said im tryng to learn, I had my phone rooted by someone else and have no idea how to flash a new rom or what I need to do so. So if someone could help me answer these questions and maybe direct me to where ever I need to go to learn, like flashing new rom for dummies! Thanks!!!
The reason your 4G isn't working is because it's not supported on MIUI. The ROM may be causing your bluetooth issue as well.
I can't really say if it's the right or wrong ROM, it's all about personal preference. You should probably look through the development section and see what ROM would best fit you. Also, there's several other threads on this section with people giving reviews/opinions of different ROMs..

idk too much about miui because I dont use it.
MIUI does not support 4G as of yet (and may not ever) thats just something you lose.
As for the other issues I really don't know and can't help you with
To flash a new ROM you have to do these steps.
Download the ROM of choice
Put it on your SD Card (anywhere)
On your phone turn it completley off and hold down the "Volume Down & Power" at the same time
*From this point you use the volume keys to scroll up and down and power to select options*
Go to recovery and select it
once in recovery (you will be able to tell) go down to factory/data reset and click ok
Once that is finished go to wipe cache and select it
Once that is finished go to -advanced- then wipe dalvik cache and select it
once that is done go to "install zip from sd card"
then go to "choose zip from sd card"
find the ROM you downloaded and select it and flash.
Depending on the ROM it will take from 1-5 minutes to complete flashing. Once done just go to reboot at the top
It is also recommended to do the "wiping" steps 2-3 times (steps 7-9)

MikShifted G v1.6 is fully functioning. Everything works, 4G, Bluetooth, WiFi, WiFi Tethering, USB Tethering, everything works. Plus it has a lot of extras. One thing I will say it cannot at the present time be OC'd. No you do not need to flash a different kernel with it. Believe me when I tell you it does not need it.

Everything should be working with MikShifted ROMs, as far as I know. Also, there's no custom kernels for Gingerbread Sense ROMs until htc releases the source code.

Oc'd is just short for overclocked. Basically, until htc releases the source you can't use any overclocked kernels so you'll have to run at 800mhz, but MikG is surprisingly quick for running stock

I recently flashed the mik rom v1.6 and loved it everything went smoothly until i realized I am not getting any text messages. and before i go back to the miui rom I was using i figured I would ask if anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
I did switch the rom and still have the same issue any suggestions?
My personal preference for ROM is CyanogenMod (CM). It has everything a person can need and more, but its not noob friendly by any means (I learned that the hard way! Muchos thanks to Root Master Crump for taking me off the straight and narrow!). I've tried a few other ROMs and its really all about personal preference, as others have said. I like being able to customize out the wazzoo, but if you're looking for speed/performance and ease of use, Mik is very solid.

You could try updating your prl and see if that helps.I think it's probably an issue with Sprint and not the ROM though. Maybe post something in the MikG thread and see if others are having issues.
I have talked to sprint and its not on their end. I have doing alot of reading and not on answer on how to get my texting back. I tried going back to mIui and still not texts coming in. Im lost any ideas out there?
You need to update your PRL and Profile. Then reboot the phone, but you have to be on Sense to do that. Also, as soon as you finish the flashing process. Send yourself an SMS/MMS. Before you start loading things onto the phone. That way it will help you narrow down the issue. So your sure it's not something your loading on the phone causing the issue.
Hello, Im actually a inc2 user, and used to be a fascinate user. A friend of mine saw my phone and is tired of having his slow stock 2.1 ,mesmerize, so i opted to help.
As said, he was on 2.1. I odined to 2.2.1, now up to 2.3....Now I am trying to get a custom rom for him. In the sticky im finding both a cwr 4.0 and 2.5... One is blue and one is red.
My question... is if im trying to get a cm7 or miui for him... what recovery do I use.
I heard you need to be on 2.2 to go to cm7, and to use cwr 4.0 to flash.. however... when I do that... it goes instantly into a samsung bootloop and never flashes. When i try flashing with 2.5 cwr red version, it aborts.
basically my question is now that im on 2.3 what version cwr do I use, and how do i get to either cm7 or miui?
thanks!

If you're trying to goto CM7 or MIUI, then you'll need cmr 4.0 before hand. Red is the custom recovery only used for custom roms running gingerbread or bellow. I definitely suggest checking out ICS on rootzwiki though, it's the best mes/sc/fas rom I've used so far! ^.^

Instructions is in the mes post(http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13774-rom-jts-ics-build-edited-for-mesmerize-showcase-build-6/), not working list is in the fasc post that the mez version is based on.(http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16630-romicsiml74k-teamhacksungs-ics-port-for-fascinate-build-61-0201/)
I'm not sure why your recovery flash isn't working. There's a tutorial here (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10728-guideinstalling-a-romcwm-recoveryrootor-going-back-to-stock/).
You need to flash the file named "CWM4 FIXED FOR CM7" if you are flashing mtd rom to mez. "CWM-RECOVERY-ALL-3-30-FIX" for tw roms
You might find more help at rootzwiki, this forum died months ago during developer exodus... they all went there

That is not true, this phone was never one that got much attention, there are plenty of developers here with a vibrant user community....just not for this phone, unfortunately.

You're mistaken. This formally was the main forum for the mesmerize and showcase; however, disagreements between some of the developers and xda's admin caused many people to move to rootzwiki. We still are and have been a fairly active community.

Ah, my mistake, I thought you meant XDA in general. That dispute predates my time here as moderator.
