[Q] want to install cm rom

hi all i have samsung captivate i897 from at&t but i am living in india i have stock android 2.2 firmware can anyone give me step by step guide to install cm on my phone my phone build is something like UCKJ1

whats wrong with the instructions that Cyanogenmod thread gives?

i am unable to understand those explanation i dont know if cyanogenmod is for froyo or gingerbread i am also not familiar with heimdall i often use odin so if anybody can give me instruction it will be very helpfull to me as i have said that i am in india so i dont want to brick my device

if it is your first rom DONT flash CM.READ and KNOW what you are doing before doing something BIG...
moving to cm will change your partitioning table. if you dont know what that means you shouldnt do it yet.
READ. LEARN. SEARCH READ MORE!!!
CM isnt 'for' froyo or gingerbread.
it REPLACES froyo or gingerbread (it doesnt matter what you are on now)
Learn, flash something NOT cm7 or miui. then learn more then flash CM
there are many how to flash guides. I know i wrote the newest one. it is stickied.
read the new user guide in my sig. learn what stickies are, then find the stickies and read them.

Go to mobiletechvideos.com or watch josh youtube videos on flashing cm keep watching read and get a usb download jig before you do anything it will save you if you [email protected]# up

you people have made captvate thread worse you do ot give answer to the people just ask question in replies go to galaxy mini general forum and see there how people are helping each other not asking question in bul**** question in replies
can any one give me tutorial here
sorry if i was too rude

The Cyanogenmod wiki has a full install guide. If I was on the computer I would link it for you, but it shouldn't be hard to find

like just said above the miui has an install guide on their website. if you cant follow those instructions dont flash.
Go to captivate Developement section > Find Miui thread > Click the link to go to thier site;s install instructions. DONE.
why would we RE-Write the guide just for you?

[Q] Should I wait to install new ICS firmware for CM9

So just as I was about to go through all the steps to install ICS firmware for the CM9 nightly (using the steps in the guide for ICS and ARHD), then I see that TMOUS is going to be to be pushing the official firmware OTA.
Does that have any implications such as there may be some differences so I should wait until that version is deciphered for flashing? Or something else I should take into account but don't see cause I'm newbish?
Right now im on 2.3.7 from CM7
I am under the impression its ok to ask newb question in this particular forum....if not sorry!
EDIT im seeing this posted up today [ROM] HTC TMOUS Stock ICS *RELEASE* 3.32.531.14 (Flashable | Untouched | Rooted)...should i follow the same instructions on ICS ARHD just using the above file or can i just install 4ext and then flash? lol maybe i should just wait till the dust settles on the events of today

Same question, I'm afraid of losing root and s-off as well, someone help us plz

Cm9 is AOSP based and might have some bugs. Official will have Sense. It's down to personal preference really. I personally use AOKP and love it

I know the difference one is sense and the other is aosp based. i guess my question is that since I have to upgrade my to ICS firmware to flash CM9 should I be using the guide and links to do so on the ARHD ICS post or follow a different method, or wait a couple of days since the firmware is gonna be updated.
now that i think about it i bet someone will write a guide specifically for CM9 so i should just be quiet and patient.
Update: As much as i want to flash cm9 asap i think I am going to take it slow and start with upgrading from cwm to 4ext before i get ahead of myself. upon review i see my post belongs in the help section of the QA and not as its own post so sorry for the clutter.
last question...i loved DOS why is adb so scary to me jk

[Q] How can I go back to custom rom for official ics update?

I have the samsung skyrocket for att and was wondering how i can flash the stock rom and will i be able to get the official ota update? i currently have the skyics update from sean. and i did not make a backup because i didnt know much about rooting when i first flashed a rom

you gotta read and search my friend. Questions go in Q&A btw. XDA isn't going to spoon feed you, the info to get back to stock is all over the place. if you got to a custom rom, I'm confident you can flash odin back to stock

Moved to Q&A. I'm almost sure this might be covered somewhere else but at least have it in the correct forum
Cheers

This is your actual question. By now you may know Xda organizes those answers in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Android Development forum section. Look for the pushpin icons at the top of the list of threads. they are your "stickies", like an FAQ.
Remember OTA updates, when offered, do not mix with custom recoveries like CWM. You will need to flash a stock recovery.

read, read more, read the stickies, i read alot b4 i even attempted to flash, at least a few hundred posts and using the search button.
all problems and solutions have been posted, as u r a n00b all u have todo is invest time into reading alot of posts, because of ur post we all know u havent even bothered to read the stickies, espicially read the one w/n00b's in the title, thats y they r there. .
once u know what ur r doing and r stumped at a certain problem, believe me we can tell by how u post a question, post in the q&a forum
this post is just a copy paste from another post i wrote to a n00b
but anyway read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 , its a post i started for ur situation, u would have found many by doing a simple search

Stock GB 2.3.6 TO ICS

Cant Find the guide.....im rooted yes phone says (SGH-T959V)

I would strongly second hechoen's recommendation in your "Help Help Help" thread from not even an hour ago that you take the time to read a bit more before you flash anything else. Believe it or not, you've probably already looked at links to what you need to do several times if you've spent much time reading here. One brick a day is more than most here want to deal with!

Yea its a hassel---so much easier on MY HTC--but GF wants ICS and i cant seem place guide--so i can read it lol

Please stop opening multiple threads. Please take the time to understand what phone you have, which ROMs are available, and how to properly flash a Samsung Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V. If you then have additional problems, you probably should add to one of your own threads, and not in the Development section.

Thanks Jeff
And to save you more questions,
Once rooted and on GB - flash a CWM version 5 such as AntonX's basic with a twist 1.1.3, reboot to recovery and then flash CM9. That will get you to ICS. Don't forget to
sync all contacts to google and backup data first.
Also please thoroughly read CM9 installation instructions prior to flashing it.

Yes an other noob questions

...

If your phone model isn't listed as an option, don't install that ROM. It will be the end of your phone. If you visit the Skyrocket Q&A forum and the dev forum for, well, any phone, there are loads of tutorials on how to flash safely. Please read them first and follow their instructions, along with the ROM instructions, or brick.
Unless you want to prove how 1337 you are. Then, by all means, install the ROM and prove us wrong.

Yea definitely seems like a better idea to follow the instructions for the specif ROM. Any recommendations on one? not looking for anything fancy just wanna get rid of the stock one and because for some reason my phone is currently on version 2.3.5 and i am not being able to install anything from the marketplace. so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Read the Skyrocket dev forum and decide for yourself. Recommending a ROM would be an insult to all the other devs who've put time, effort and sometimes money into designing their own.

im sorry i am just going nuts now with all the stuff ive been reading and i think i gotta take some steps back to make sure i got everything right.
i have clockworkmod 5. something and from what i was able to read i need the to update to the most resent version. So i found a copy of 6.0.4.5 but i am unsure on how to update it. Tried to put it in my sd and run it by booting into clockwormod recovery and installing the zip. it says it installed successfully but it is still in version 5.
Any help with the would be much appreciated

Seriously, dude, they're at the top of the page in the Skyrocket Q&A forum. I know you're new and I'll avoid verbally thrashing you, but if you don't learn to search (or, at a bare minimum, read the stickies), you're going to hate it here.
