ok, so I picked up the Cappy tonight, did alot of reading,
PLEASE NOTE, I have a Rogers Galaxy S Captivate SGH-I896, On Froyo 2.2
I successfully rooted the device with superoneclick,
downloaded Rom Manager, Flashed Clockwork recovery for Galaxy S Captivate
Reboot to recovery, select re-install packages, FAILED Signature...and aborts,
What am I doing wrong here?
Is there a better method? Every guide I read said to do it with rom manager...do I need to flash the stock rogers GB with bootloaders? then retry clockwork again?
/Lost
soooooo.....
you didnt actually SEARCH for the ACTUAL ERROR MESSAGE that you got?

Rom Manager isn't needed anymore. Not once have I installed Rom Manager on my phone.
This should help you out.

Thanks thats exactly what i needed, i now have cm7 loaded up.
one question tho, while cm7 would install fine i initially tried to flash the ICS port by teamhacksung and it resulted in a bootloop, is there some step im missing? are someupdates only installable from internal sdcard?
You must be on a mtd based rom, which cm7 is, (touch wiz roms are bml based) before flashing to ics. U should be able to flash ics with no problem now.

ok will give it another shot!
Enjoy, it's quite different
Well, ics successfully flashed this time.
Only difference from my last attempt was I flashed a cm7 nightly instead of stable, also once on cm7 I flashed a newer radio as well as the glitch kernel. Dunno what had affected it before but its now running nicely on ics build 9.
Thanks for the help guys, I guess where I got hung up is where cwm resides in the kernel on this device? Where on all my htc's we simply flash cwm over the stock recovery. Anyways thanks again!

The glitch kernel is not compatible with ics, as of yet. It was over written when u flashed ics I'm pretty sure.
Well being completly new to this device was a lot of learning, I still have no idea what I did wrong initially to get stuck in bootloops, but I somehow managed to get cm7 working and then up onto ics so all is well as far as I can see now. Its a backup device for us so I'm pretty sure I will only be flashing ics as it matures. Must say the ics on the cappy is pretty far ahead in terms of usability compared to the desire z, great work here from your devs! And thanks for the pointers guys!

I want to go back to GB as I'm not satisfied with the ICS ROMs I've tried (only had this phone a few weeks). Dev board is flooded with ICS, any GB suggestions?

I highly reccomend Oxygen, only problem I ever had with it was sending and recieving mms. Other than that I say it is lightening fast and stable.
Were you able to fix the mms issue?

Try .CIBERGR-MOD 's GB version. It's a fast rom. Although, I'm not sure if he has a NS4G version.

Peter Alfonso's GPA19 ROM is the most stable one that I tried. Look for Peter Alfonso's site and click the Downloads link for crespo. I would post a link here, but XDA's nonsense won't allow it.
Download the 12-07-11 one to get the latest GB version. There aren't a lot of customizations like CM, Oxygen, MIUI, etc., but it's stable as hell. The latest Oxygen (2.3.2) has a REALLY obnoxious, and largely ignored, backlight notification bug where you have to reboot to get the lights to go out... only way I've ever found to fix it is to install another kernel. However, Peter Alfonso's got one of those too... just go to his site and it should be on the second page of the "blog."
I know you said you didn't like ICS, and I didn't either at first, but Pete's ICS ROMs are also great and very stable. The latest is 01-30-12, and you can get it from the same crespo download page.
question.
hey man i got a question, could i use peter alfonso's rooted stock rom for gingerbread (right?) when downgrading, right? instead of re rooting it.

Loaded up the 01-30-12 ICS this morning since that would be the easiest transition. Using Apex and so far, so good. Thanks!

I'm currently running Euroskank CM7 kangs.
Wow, really. I don't have any ICS envy seeing how sweet those kangs are. They're smooth as butter and stable too! Checking my phone, my current uptime is 132 hours (5.5 days) since my last reboot, which was to flash the latest kang back then.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Both of his ROMs are pre-rooted, so no, you won't have to re-/root anything. But since you're going from ICS to GB you'll have to wipe everything, so there's no real "downgrade" path.
From a rooting perspective, the only difference I've noticed, that's kind of annoying, is that his GB ROM contains busybox and his ICS ROM doesn't. It's not a deal-breaker since there are Market apps to add it in, but it's kind of annoying that the binary has to be re-linked after each update/flash.

Im asking that if i can reverted back to gingerbread version without loosing root, may i install his pre-rooted stock without loosing root. Thats all, but since you mentioned it, im relived to revert it back. but i couldnt find his link could you provide me one? Also is it regular to flash it back to gb or is there a special method to do it?
I can't post links yet because our fine friends at XDA say that I need to post more for the privilege. Pfft.
You should be able to type peter alfonso downloads crespo and get to the page. 12-07-11 is the latest GB version (GPA19).
There's no "special" method for flashing, just do what you would do when going from one incompatible ROM to another... wipe data/factory reset, format cache partition, format /system, wipe dalvik cache. There are probably a million different combinations that different people will give you for the proper install, but that's what I normally do.
Tryout CyberGR's CM7 MOD and you won't go back:

Just read the feedback in the thread and you'll understand.
perfect, and uh before i do that it could be any rooted gb rom right? just curious, that's all.
Don't mean to hijack the thread but what if I wanted to put a custom GB ROM on top of stock GB rom. I'm curious if you can just flash without wiping? Or should I do titanium backup instead?

I have a small question I tried almost all popular roms on this site. And in every roms I had an issue.
Here a description:
*MIUI Link: Worked like a charme but Bluetooth didn't work, and battery couldn't handle it. I also tested the ported one, but it was worst.
*Zeus: android system was always crashing on network (4g and wifi)
*catyroms: couldn't mount my external Sd, and crashes sometimes
*BIonix: could access my rogers network, even for the phone
*CM7 the kang version: seems to work so far.
I'm a noob, but I saw that the base of the rom are ATT versions, and most of the time the kernel was UCKL2. Is it really a big deal for a rogers infuse phone to have that kind of kernel on it. Maybe that's why I had so many issues with the roms.
If for example I install Zeus and with sgs flasher I flash the zeus kernel with a UXKG3 or last entropy's kernel, would it solve my problems?
Thanks for your answers and explanation
Try Infused ROMs. They are based off Rogers ROM.
How
How do I know when a rom is based on roger rom?
When the kernel is UXKG3?

Thanks, but if you go to the superthread only one thread is mention rogers only.
In custom rom section nowhere it's mention also
I also check the 7 pages in Samsung Infuse > 4GInfuse 4G Android Development> Forum anywhere roger is mention in the title
Does it mean it's not fully compatible? and it only works for ATT?
And what about that:

I used it for months since I got my Infuse, and was on until I switched to Zeus. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.
Edit: If you want Froyo, try out Infused 1.5.x ROMs.

I'm a little bit disapointed but I will wait with infused until a better miui Bluetooth working and battery life.
Thanks
I'm using Zeus on an infuse w/rogers and its working fine for me.
Originally the AT&T bloatware turned me off but dman managed to get rid of it.
Did you wipe before flashing ZEUS?
*edit*
also i may be wrong on this but i believe zeus uses the same kernel as infused, which is rogers-based.
Yep I flash data cache and devilsk.
After I install the rom even during google setup it crash. So Idon't why.
I'm on zeus on Rogers as well. This thing has been rock solid for me. One force close after initial flash, then all has been fine. Kl2 is the modem not the kernel if I'm not mistaken

It worked for me as well.
along the same discussion I'd like to ask another question about the new 3.0 kernel.
I'm a weekly ROM changer and usually run IceColdSandwich. Once I switch back to ICS and want to reflash JT to check out the latest improvements/updates, do I have to re-flash the GizRoot_v_2 with the 3.0 kernel then flash JellyTime? Would it work If I did a backup of JellyTime and tried to restore it when a new update comes out or does it become non flashable once I've returned to the older ICS kernel?
In other words, can I flash between ICS and JT without having to go through all the steps to reload the 3.0 kernel?
Thanks in advance to a great community!

Nope. You only need to flash the stock once; after that, flash back and forth to your heart's content.

IceColdSandwich runs on a 2.6.5 kernel, and will not work with a 3.0 kernel. Jellytime runs on a 3.0 kernel and will not work with a 2.6.5 kernel. Both of those ROMS have their respective kernels included. You only have to flash the ROM. I'd also recommend a full wipe before each flash as well.

usspatriot is actually referring to a separate question. Some of us need to update our firmware to run JB, which can only be done by flashing the latest stock before flashing JB. He wanted to know if the updated firmware would be overwritten by flashing ICS, requiring a reflash of stock before reflashing JB. The ICS and JB kernels are not at issue.
I wonder if this has anything to do with my issue with JB on a Desire HD:
I came from SmartDroid_Reloaded_wwe_1.5.2, did a full wipe, installed, everything works fine for me except for cellular data.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with JB not liking my phone? I've also tried a couple of ICS roms.. See below:
SmartDroid_Reloaded_wwe_1.5.2 = cell data works
Sabsa_Prime_v5.0 = cell data works
TrickDroid_v1.1.1 = cell data works
cm-cfX-20120925-OFFICIAL-ace = no cell data
cm-JellyTime_R10 = no cell data
cm-JellyTime_R10.1 = no cell data
cm-JellyTime_R11 = no cell data
i set my APN's to suit my network (crazy johns in australia) but nothing works..
If i connect to wifi, both the wifi signal and cell signal turn blue, if i disconnect from wifi, both turn grey.
MMS, SMS, Phone calls work fine..

Hello!
I flashed CM9 RC2 recently and now whatsapp doesn't work. I get warning after installing it saying that custom rom might cause whatsapp not to work properly. After starting whatsapp it simply closes down.
Before CM9 RC2 i used HyperSensation Rom (2.9 i think), and it worked normally without any problems.
Is there anything i can do to get this to work besides reflashing ROM?
Thank you.
Delete the data of the app.. Un-install it and install it again that might help

Tried that several times. Problem still persists.
EDIT: Just to report. Eventually i installed latest AOKP rom from their site (Milestone 6), and it works fine now.
ive had this same problem. I am usuing the CM9 RC2 right from the cyanogen mod website for samsung captivate ATT. if i install the AOKP rom you think it will work. and if i do whats the difference between AOKP build 40 and milestone 6.
edit: ok i installed milestone 6 and still did not work. what the hell

AOKP builds marked with number (for example: build 40) are something like beta builds and are more likely to have bugs. Milestone builds are more stable releases.
Regarding problem with whatsapp. Seriously i dont know why is this happening. I tried searching net and found couple guys with same problem but nobody offered solution. As i said in my first post, i used hypersensation which was build on one of earlier CM9 releases and it worked fine. So i would suggest to try some earlier releases of AOKP or CM9 or some rom from XDA based on them.
could you please provide me with a link to the rom you used. i will try that one
Here is hypersensation. However i used 2.9 version based on CM9, current version is 3.1. Download is in post 2. In post 3 you can find AOKP roms, but i haven't tried these.
I am using a samsung Captivate. will this rom work for me
My guess is no. You should probably go to Samsung Captivate forum and check there. I don't know anything about Captivate.
