I have been downloading stock roms for this phone all morning and I have had no luck in getting them to install. It comes up with the same error saying the rom is not signed. I know I have tried one or 2 of these stock roms before and they worked fine.
Can someone please tell me where to get one from. I dont want custom roms as they never auto notify me for any emails and I have missed quite a few important ones now.
-Edit-
Scrap that, I was being a total noob and forgot stock roms have to be extracted first and then install via the dload folder.

So I want to do the new sw update but can't because I deleted some stock apps so the checksum wouldn't match and a hard reset won't restore them I guess so I would flash a stock rom but am I right thinking there isn't one yet? So how can I get to an original rom and then update or maybe make the new update work?
D2G stock rom
I don't know if the update will be compatible or not but from my understanding this is pretty much the stock rom that Motorola handed Verizon to put all their bloatware on then release the phone. I did load this rom on my d2g and it works flawlessly. Might be worth a try, not a direct link but will get you headed in the right direction. The rom manager gives you the opportunity to load the barebones stock google rom or the Vanilla based version, it just downloads and flashes, works perfect I didn't even have to re-activate. It is already pre-rooted so maybe the update won't work but I just wanted to make you aware of it. I work at verizon and did the update to the floor model and my dad's stock d2g also and didn't notice any difference really. I think vzw is just fixing some of the bugs that they created anyway so having the stock rom may end up with the same result, a rom that functions perfectly, good luck!.......droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/106629-rom-fission-2-4-droidx-vanilla-generic-android-aosp-like-fission-rom-manager.html
@evil yeah im kind of in the same boat, let me know if srensber solution works for you.
I froze a bunch of apps with Titanium Backup and renamed some stuff with Root Explorer. I recently just re-named everything i changed back to the factory stuff (bak -> apk) but it still doesnt seem to do any good.
I did create a number of back ups using Rom manager but i cant seem to find out where they are located and how to restore them. hmm. Not sure what to do.
Ah i realize what ive done wrong ... i didnt know you had to have bootstrap installed along with clockwork recoveryy in order to make a backup hmm. Going to need a rom of stock d2g lol.
clockwork recovery installs a boot hijack, which might be the culpirt

I cant seem to find the download link anywhere... and after you loaded this rom did you try to update to 2.4.3 ?
If anyone else has any input about this please help!
I just purchase ROM Manager Pro after getting my Captivate all ready to go for a custom ROM however I wanted to obtain it from ROM Manager but everytime I try to see what ROMS there are it says "error occurred while processing the ROM list!". I have tried uninstalling and cache clears. It just says it over and over.
Anyone know whats going on? Is it just me?
It's been broken for a long time.
I don't think there are any ROM's available in it's OTA for Captivate. But it still is very nice for flashing new ROM's just need to put them as a .zip in the SD card first. I preloaded all the latest ROM's and now just flash a new one every couple of days whenever I want something new...
There are no Roms for the Captivate in Rom manager at all. It has been brought up many times and no captivate Dev has been willing to go through the trouble up using it. It has gotten to the point where I dont even download it anymore lol. Just say the update zip for the custom recovery and your good to go.
I've been searching the forums and I've seen people replace their respective stock mms.apk. I just got my 4g slide, coming from the g2 and im not used to this sense mms stuff. I liked the stock mms in the g2 way better. I tried handcent/chomp/go sms...neither was my thing. I'm rooted so if I had to mod anything, thats good...I just need instructions. I just want the regular android 2.3 stock mms i was using in my g2. Is there anyway to accomplish this? Really appreciate it
If you post up the .apk you want to use in this thread, i'll take a look at flashing it to my phone when I get home from work this afternoon. I'm going to run through all the ROMs I have in sequence testing the custom kernel in the dev section, but right now at this moment my phone has it's stock ROM running.
I can write the update and flash it to see if it works before I go about erasing everything on the phone - just an fyi though, i've never actually done any text messaging on the phone so I can't tell you how well it will work, just if it installs and opens fine.
If it does, i'll post the flashable update i'll end up making so you can run with it...unless someone else gets to it before I get back here today.

...but they report problems with mms not working. maybe u can download either mms.apk package and see what u come up with?
Please help me get my phone back to the standard stock rom.
I'm in the UK and on 3 Network.
Last night i installed the ics 4.0.3 with XXKP8, this was the first time i have ever tried this and it worked first time, but i keep losing my icons on the screen and have to restart the phone. So i want to to return it back.
Ive checked the flash counter and its still at NO
Ive been on these forums and google reading and trying to fix this all day and ive got so far and now im stuck.
I think i need to install the XWKI4 kernal. I have downloaded it along with the other download that was linked to it but the file extensions or names seems to be of the wrong name.
When i was doing it last night the file extensions were MD5 & tar
but everything im downloading today is image file & vlc ???
Bought this for my daughter.
Rooted it, did a nandroid, then forgot to copy my nandroid to PC before I wiped the sd card for ext..
So, after looking all over the net, I have found Modded stock roms, but none with the update profile feature.
I rooted and flashed a rom before activating, so now I seem to be hosed....
Nothin for cricket seems to work as far as "back to stock". I tried these just in hopes that they might work.. Even if they didnt, Im no worse off. Seems ST is the oddball of the carriers, since you cant get into adb with it, only recovery.
If you have a copy of this rom, or know where to get one, please post. Again, I need Straight Talk Ascend II (M865c) STOCK rom with UPDATE PROFILE option.
Or, if you know a workaround on how to activate while running a modded or custom rom.
Thanks in advance.
