These instructions should work from almost any ROM when flashing Apex 9.x, but I felt specific instructions were needed for CM7. If coming from something other than CM7, you should make sure that your filesystems are RFS before messing around with Odin.

1. Starting with CM7nightly84 (on official 2.2 boot-loaders acquired from Kies Mini (pre-CM7 install)), I used DG's OCD Odin JF6 (NOT the 3-button-fix version) to get back to stock. CLOSE the OCD window after stock flash is done. I then placed Apex_9.1_JVR.zip on my internal sd card.
2. Then, I rooted 2.1 with Super One Click and restored my /EFS folder from the backup file using ADB. After restoring /EFS, I immediately reboot in download mode and reflash to stock again using the same Odin OCD (make sure you close the one you used to flash in step one and open a new instance of it and unplug and replugin usb between every flash or you might end up a saaad panda). This makes it as close to an "Out of Box" state as possible. I'm sure this step can be skipped if a backup isn't available. This is just something I always do between flashes.
3. I downloaded Cezar's KF1 boot-loaders OCD and followed the instructions provided in the thread about how to flash them. This had me end up with KF1 boot-loaders on an otherwise completely stock, unrooted, JF6. The KF1 boot-loaders should not affect 2.1 or 2.2 normal functioning.
4. Then, I extracted the Apex pre-flash package (Apex Flasher.zip) and followed the instructions as if the boot-loaders were already flashed. This got me on Dark Core 3 - JVR_C. Watsa confirms that the KF1 boot-loaders in the Apex Flasher.zip are the same as Cezar's that are in the forum listed above. The only reason I didn't use them is because flashed them on my own.
5. Ater all that is done, reboot to the white AT&T screen. I would recommend a battery pull or recovery key combo (vol+, vol-, & power) as soon as you see it because the DC3 kernel will try to apply Voodoo ext conversions with stock 2.1 still on there. Upon arrival at the recovery screen, chose the option to install zip and find Apex_9.1_JVR.zip .
All done. When it reboots, you'll hear that beautiful robotic voice of the lady converting your partitions. Sounds almost dirty, doesn't it?
If you don't hear anything, reboot into recovery and enable the options under the "voodoo" menu.

I setup this guide for anyone who wanted to use the KF1 boot-loaders specifically. Starting at CM7 nightly #78, emmc is now supported on gingerbread boot-loaders for the captivate. This means that after loading these you shouldn't have to change boot-loaders again if you wanted to go back to CM7 or switch to a new ROM. All of the I9000 based GB ROMs I have seen have reported no issues using KF1 booties. Some devs even recommend them to ensure hardware compatibility. They seem to work great with Froyo as well.
Ok..I always try to figure it out by searching the forums...could not get there this time. I had Humbles rom on the phone...then I realized I should update my Baseband...so the mission starts.. I started on Basband ep3 on both the first and second lines..after reading it sounded like I needed to flash back to stock to get the update to ee4....I first deactivated voodo by adding the file directly ...reset phone then waited while the sexy voice said it was deactivated... then I flashed the stock rom...when I powered up the the phone on stock ...it did download the update...while installing the update it crashes and does not install correctly...so after messing around I re-flashed the stock rom and then downloaded the update again.....same thing happened.....then after reading some more I thought maybe my partitions where jacked so I flashed charge.pit ...now my phone wouldn't even show signs of life...stressing a bit ....I was able to flash Hummble 4.0 which brought my phone back to life...happy that it is working I'm now back where I originally started but now I'm on Ep1...even worse than before I started..lol
Does anyone have any ideas why it would not update? any help would be great!
Ep3 is the newest radio version. Ep1 is the second newest. And ee4 is the oldest. So you were really trying to unupdate. You are fine with the ep1 modems. But if you want to upgrade flash the ep3h radios through Odin.
Sent from my Gummy Charged GBE 2.1 using XDA App
Yep
I'm confused....thanks for the clarification.... I thought I had to go to stock to get any updates...whats with all the posts talking about that?
any quick link to where I could download the ep3 for odin? much appreciated

Here ya go - EP3 Modem
The only reason you ever need to go back to stock is if you want to "unroot" your phone or to fix soft bricks. The baseband version corrosponds to the type of radios your phone is running (how you get your signal). And the radios are always independent of your ROM. Here's a short overview of the different radios from beginning to present.
ED1: Original charge modem. (sucked).
ED2: still sucks.
EE4: Latest official update for the droid charge. This is the radio that most Froyo Roms are based off of.
<I'm going to skip over a few because they are kind of non-existant now>
EP1Q: A leaked Gingerbread Radio. Significant improvements in signal strength.
EP1W: Improves upon EP1Q radio by handling data switching better. (A lot of Gingerbread ROMS are based off of this radio).
EP3H: The newest radio and probably the best. Some small improvements in data switching and got rid of occasional "popping" sounds from EP1W radio. Most of the newest ROMS use this radio as a base (Meaning they are optimized to use this radio).
Long story short, use the latest Radios. They always bring improvements. =)

For app conflict resolution.
Wipe cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache
Fix Permissions
If that doesn't do it,
Use titanium backup.
Batch backup all your user apps.
Wipe data and factory reset your current rom.
Verify the problem exists before re installing your personal apps (don't use the market app untill the end of this process).
If the problem exists, I would sbf back to stock and start over from scatch.
If the problem goes away, start restoring your user apps/data one at a time in titanium backup to try to replicate the problem. It could be just one or more apps conflicting with each other.
If you can identify which app(s) are causing the problem, uninstall the app(s) and download them again from the market (or other source) to install them fresh.
This may solve your problem. If not, then either try using other apps or doing without the problem apps (assuming you can identify the offending apps).
After this go ahead and enter the market app for your other/paid apps
As always, every device is different (even the same model, running the same rom, with the same apps installed) and sometimes there are unusual problems for individual phones.

Question posed by ME
I have been seeing this on multiple threads so I want a clarification. Please.
Cm7 comes with cm recovery baked in (froyo & gb?). Rom Manager won't work with out flashing cwr. For that flash droidx 2nd init.
1) If you are not going to use rom manager, do you need to flash this?
2) bootstrap recovery conflicts with cm7 and MIUI. How do you get to cwr if everything fracks up? When you bootstrap you can get to cwr by doing battery pulls.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer from bikedude880 @ rootzwiki
It is highly recommended to install cwm via Rom Manager as CM7 /removes/ bootstrap entirely on install. Newer version can restore older, but not the other way around. Battery pulls are still applicable.

I have a couple questions.
#1 can I flash a nandroid of a different device to recover this one if things go wrong?
#2 when updating the cm7gb revnumbers kang, do we have to factory reset and wipe data/cache?
#3 can you reflash on top of the current rom to reset the system software/settings etc. (To get rid of scripts and mods and be fresh) without factory reset and wipe data/cache? So as not to loose apps and settings etc...

There are no non-US D2Gs. Use the stock 4.5.608 (or 4.5.629 if it was somehow updated to 4.5.629).
Either try ezSBF or RSDLite the proper official 4.5.608

Naturally, on CM7, the device cannot be unlocked.

Edit: saving this space...
most stable rom?
This is a great collection, thanks for the legwork.
Noob Question, if I may: I'm currently on Hexen/Froyo and wanting to upgrade to GB. Is there a general opinion on the question of "Most Stable GB Rom", currently? Or some sort of high-level pros/cons discussion? Searching the forums doesn't really yield good results - mostly it's people with problems, or folks who don't know how to sbf. I'm basically interested in finding out which one crashes the least, or conversely, the one that "you just like, even w/ the occasional reboot".
I reckon the following are on the table: Apex, Liberty, MIUI, & CM7; not sure if either Venus, or the VZ stock GB are even worth considering...? (What's the skinny on Venus? I read it's garbage/banned, and then I read elsewhere that it's just fine... big wtf there.)
Thanks in advance; long time reader, 1st-time poster. Have a good one out there.
Stock Gingerbread is very stable. Unlike stock Froyo, it's not as slow as well; the Gingerbread version of Blur is a lesser resource hog.
Stock 2.3 will also give you the best battery life so far, according to my research. (I get up to 36 hours on a single charge with GPS and WiFi on 24/7.) Just root it, and freeze some bloatware. You can also use a 3rd party launcher instead of the stock Blur one.
Random reboots happen with the stock ROM, however not quite often. For example, my phone usually reboots itself after 400-450 hours of uptime.
MIUI and CM7 are only stable for CDMA users. On GSM, there are numerous issues with WiFi and mobile data.
I honestly only have experience with Hexen(froyo) which was great and CM4D2G-GB (CM7).
CM7 has lots of great features but imo is not quite as polished as hexen yet. Stable for the most part on cdma but some users complain of bluetooth issues(think its the bt devices not the phone or rom. There are sooooo many different kinds out there it is hard to build for all.) Also remember we are still in nightlies for cm7-GB. It will get better...
Still both are better than blurstock.
Follow the links I provided if you want a more in depth look at the roms...
Droid2 Global CM4D2G-GB-20111217 ***CM7 RevNumbers Kang***
Thread stuck
Ran through 'em all quickly
So just a quick report - I decided to get really friendly with RSD Lite today. Overall results:
- no CM7 (what's this 2nd-init business? Maybe I missed something here)
- Apex installed fine
- Liberty installed fine
- MIUI looks kinda freaking AWESOME, but it wouldn't reboot for me, after I'd tried to install Droid 2 Bootstrapper.
I performed the following sequence many times, except when switching from Apex to Liberty, that was the only rom switch that went gracefully. All others required:
- SBF to Froyo .330
- apply upgrade.zip (.607)
- Rooted w/Droid 3 one-click
- Installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper
- - Bootstrapped recovery
- - Rebooted recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik
- install rom from zip.
Let me know if you think I missed something in that process, w/r/t CM7 or MIUI. Tired of flashing though, probably just gonna settle on a coin-toss between Apex & Liberty.
One more step. After all that and maybee after you get your base of personal apps going, fix permissions.
I am not sure if it makes a difference if you do it in recovery or through rom manager(or another app).
_______________________________________________________________________
Once you flash cm7-GB you no longer should use bootstrap recovery. There is a conflict of some kind. Get around this by installing ROM Manager and flashing ClockworkMod Recovery (droid X 2nd init). After that you are good to go. I have had no problems. If you want more info on this, follow the link to the cm7-gb thread and read, read, read.... it is in there or the dev thread (which is linked to in the OP of the users thread)

You must not install Droid 2 Bootstrap on MIUI. MIUI includes CWM. CM7 also includes CWM.
And CM7 installs like every other ROM.
Not sure why would you flash the SBF image every time. You only need to flash it in case you are unable to enter CWM.

that was the case, i was unable to get into CWR at all. For example with CM7, I did all that, rebooted, and it just hung at the red "M" logo, and I could only get back into the "Android Recovery <e3>" area. i tried a few different ways of re-installing the O.G. gingerbread update.zip (.607) file, but nothing would work, so I just wound up SBF'ing then running update.zip, then re-rooting, then re-installi.... you get the point.
But again, this is only the 3rd rom I've ever tried, and the first 2 were on Froyo and both ran perfectly fine. Thanks for the tip on not installing Droid 2 Bootstrap onto MIUI... hah, "duh" says me.
On ICS MIUI, press Volume Down when you see the LED light up (blue) while the red Motorola logo is still displayed.
This will take you to the boot menu, and from there you can access CWM.

Hi Gasai,
I am also a GSM user... but I suffer from terrible battery life possibly because of the number of apps I have installed. Do you have very few apps installed ?
Also I understand that our only real option is stock blur minus bloat . Or is there anything else ?
I run stock because it's the most stable 2.3 ROM I know as of this moment. Neither MIUI nor CM7 developers care about GSM anyway.
Battery life varies for me from 18 to 32 hours, but I rarely use my phone for more than 1-2 hours a day.

Samsung Galaxy S 4G
My phone came with Froyo 2.2.1 when I bought it. Later on I updated it to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using kies mini. After updating to 2.3.6 I tried flashing back to froyo using odin but then my phone got bricked but i fixed it. After fixing it my phone went to Gingerbread 2.3.5 then I used odin again to go to GB 2.3.6. Now I want to go back to 2.2.1 Froyo the way how my phone came like. I want to go back to froyo because the wifi is weak now that I have gingerbread. So is there any way that I can go back to Froyo 2.2.1 if i currently have gingerbread 2.3.6? If its possible can please someone post a easy tutorial to do because I would like to go back.

The WiFi issue is a placebo effect t. It has been proven Samsung used some witchcraft to make it appear stronger. I still connect to my routers for the same range I just don't see them if they are just out of range. The WiFi radio on the his device is not the greatest.

You need to register then search t959v. You wanna DL KD1. Then look for a guide to using ODIN and flash.
Ok I went on the website and Im downloading the PDA: T959VUVKD1 ## and CSC: T959VTMBKD1. Would I just need the Modem and thats it? Could i get the Froyo KD1 modem from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480418 and put each thing in its place in ODIN and which things do I put a check next to on ODIN? Could this brick my phone? Can anyone tell me a guide how to do this?
Can he just Keis back to Froyo, or has it been so long that anyone was trying to flash Froyo that it is Gingerbread only?

Please someone help!
It's been a long time since anyone wanted to be on Froyo. As I recall, Gingerbread flashes a new bootloader, so it is likely non-trivial to go back.
The binaries for Froyo may also be hard to come by here as many were hosted in sites since shuttered by the FBI.
If you really want to go back, you should have some patience or dig through the archives here to see if you can find anything.
You might want to flash one of the recent custom builds of GB while you wait to see if you prefer them to stock. I didn't much like the stock bloat but enjoyed Valhalla Black when I was on GB. FB's version is in my sig. There are a couple other versions of GB that have been more recently updated as well.
