Hello All,
I need your help regarding upgrade my captivate which is running on 2.1. I had hard bricked it once before when I was trying to update it via odin. Just got fixed it back from mobiletechvideos.com. Now I want to upgrade it to gingerbread Can anyone tell me any stable rom which I can upgrade safely and have 0% chance to hard bricked it again. Or any rom which I can flash via any other tool not via odin as I thought last bricked was caused due to odin. Pls help me.
I like the MIUI rom but I saw that it use ODIN so I am a bit afread to try it
Thanks
My understanding of the process.
I'm fairly sure you need to use superoneclick to root, that's step one. Next go to market and dowload ROM manager and install it, that's step two.Step three, flash clockworkmod recovery with ROM manager. Choose captivateMTD and let it flash. Step four, now go to the download ROM and choose an MTD ROM. I reccomend cyanogenmod as its aosp, overclocked and generally awesome. They have a stable build that's a great dd. Step five is to flash it. When the download completes it will promt you to wipe data and cache, clear everything and hit go. Step six would be to dl and flash gapps with ROM manager. Wipe cache and install. After all this you should be on cm7 stable. Pm me if you need help. I have the drivers and all files you could possibly need in my dropbox account.
Good luck and enjoy cyanogenmod.

please, for the love all that is holy, leave your phone alone if you dont know how to use GOOGLE
http://bit.ly/uoGYG7
I tried to download superoneclick via this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
All archive showing me damaged only 8 mb version is working but when I tried to root it via that version it shows me FAILED msg at the end. Any help in this regard ?
You do not need to root your phone to install a custom rom.
If you currently are on 2.1, boot into recovery and flash this zip file.
From here you can go about installing a gingerbread kernel and rom.
If you are unsure of the process, please do lots more research before you go flashing anything. If you brick again it's not my fault.

Step One: Root Done
Step Two: ROM manager installation Done
Step Three: flash clockworkmod recovery with ROM manager (When I clicked on it asked me that confirm phone model and when I clicked on samsung captivate MDT it said that clockworkmod not officially supported the captivate MDT and have you installed clockworkmod based recovery manually if I clicked on yes it proceed to the next screen and if I clicked no it said that without it rom manager will not work. If i clicked on yes it proceed to the next screen and asked me the clockworkmod version 2.x or 3.x. I select one of them and click on the install rom from SD card and then browse to my downloaded rom when I clicked on rom and it will ask me to backup exsisiting rom, wipe data and cache and wipe dalvik cache. I had selected last 2 options and clicked ok then it asked me to press ok to reboot into clockworkMod Recovery and continue the installation when I clicked ok and rebooted where it showing me 4 options: rebbot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data and delete cache data. After that I don't know what to do BTW I downloaded MIUI rom as I wana try it )
Any Help ?
Its sounds like you are in the stock recovery still. When you get to the screen with four options click reinstall packages and it should take you to clockwork recovery. The you will have many more options. You will want to go to install zip from SD card then choose zip from SD card and then navigate to your rom of choice and click it. Then it will go through the install process and when it is done hit reboot now and you should be running your custom rom.

Ok here come the problem again. I install the update.zip from sd card and the phone took me into the clockworkmod recovery a new menu then I install update.zip and after that I click install a zip from SD card. I clicked on it and browse it to the downloaded rom and it asked me to perform the action and I clicked ok after that it shows the installing process again and from after that phone is showing AT&T logo then Cyanogen Mod logo and then showing it is installing something and then restarting again and again. Phone is in the same state and doing this thing again and again. I remove the battery and power on again and its doing same thing any help ?
Get into cwm again via buttons and flash cm7 one more time. Should fix the error you're seeing.

Anyways Thanks alot guys.
Ok so my phone worked great then I rooted it and got to clockwork the red voodoo one and I flashed a rom ... I'm used to HTC so I assumed it was that easy... After the install the phone talks and says convert data partition data partition full or something in a creepy lady voice, my buddy said use odin and return to stock but Odin won't detect the phone in download mode I have all the drivers installed but I guess I dont have the download mode driver... Also I can't find a good Odin restore file cuz everything was on multiupload and the site is down can someone please help I'd really like to use my phone again... Oh and also when in clockwork I can't wipe the data partition it fails to mount ... Also in adb I do have superuser access but it still gets permission denied when I mount and try to format /data that way
if you're still under warranty just call tmobile and tell them the phone isnt working at all. dont tell them you did anything to it just tell them it isnt turning on. they will send you a new one. if your not under warranty, someone else here may have some better advice, but i dont. sorry.

I can tell you one thing. if you flashed cwm through rom manager, thats why you bricked your phone. the rom manager version of cwm for this phone has a bad update.zip file that makes cwm not fully functional. when you get a new phone or if you get the one you have working, do not flash cwm through rom manager. dl the update.zip file from the cwm thread in the sk4g development section and place it on the root of your sd. i had problems with my cwm and getting the right update.zip file has fixed it.
I wanted to install RockoDev's and fuss123 Beats Audio profile on to my phone, could'nt do it the zip way so I used Root Explorer to manually move the files to System/bin, system/lib, system/etc. The instructions says to reboot into recovery, fix permissions and then reboot again. I'm running Cyanogen Mod 7.2 KANG for Galaxy Ace, and now It wont boot its just stuck at a black screen with "ANDROID" written on it. I've wiped my user data/factory reset, ive wiped cache partition and done all the other hardware fixes Ive read elsewhere.
How do I fix it?
Please Help, couldnt find anything that really could help anywhere.

try flsh stock rom......
Thanks so Much
So I should Flash a ROM like the one that came with the phone or another Cyanogen Rom will do? Sorry I dont really get what "Stock Rom" means.
hey guys , try to using samsung application to flash it . or you can flash a new firmware . maybe you wrong installing ROM
NOt sure
Which Samsung Application? All I know is ODIN. The other suggestions i just might try it. What I really want is a way to fix it without flashing.
If you have cwm , try to download other cm and copy with cwm usb mount , and then flash the rom , and it will be ok
Okey, first of all Im pretty noob in this topics, second of all my english is not that good. Third, my mobile is a GT-S7500L
By some reason I uninstalled the play store, so I wanted it back, I downloaded Rom manager or CWM I think so I could install Gapps in recovery like I read, the thing is I installed the wrong one, because I had GB and the Gapps were for ICS. After that I rebooted and the GB didnt run, after rebooting just the CWM window started. So I decided to install the stock rom. I searched it in SAMmobile I think, I dowloaded it and the screen send me a message that says (bad) cant install. So I downloaded other two custom roms from here, Jellybread and elruki-rom, these roms install normal, but after pressing reboot, the phone still send me to the screen of CWM, I mean its says installation complete but after y reboot, it still send me to the CWM screen!
Please someone help me, I really need my phone for work. I need to know how to fix it, or at least know that I can fix it and its not completely wasted. Helppp pleasee!!!

Hey thanks for answering, I fixed the boot problem yesterday, the problem now is Im with a custom rom, gellybread, do you know where can I find the stock rom? I searched in Sammobile but when I download it, it doesnt work, its a zip, do you know where can I find it? Gellybread works good but there's a bug and I cant use wifi.
Or maybe Im doing it wrong, the Rom is .zip, how do I flash that kind of files?
Thanks for your help

Hi, thanks for replying. I cannot post in the topic of the rom because I am new on the forum (what I get when I try to post something overthere).
Could you please explain me how to fix the permissions in CWM?
I am a beginner who been trying to fix his tablet for a week now, but I still dont understand everything since I cant put all my time on it... If its not about following tutorials step by step, i am lost...
I also tried the fast team one, without any success, when the rom is installed and the device is rebooted, this time the screen stay blocked on "samsung galaxy tab3" for years!!!
sorry, i meant the fast dream rom
I just tried to Flash three roms from sammobile.com (one from hong-kong, one from spain and one from germany) through Odin.
Everytime I get I click on AP to load the rom on odin, I get this message:"md5 error! Binary is invalid".
Since I have rooted the tablet using odin to instal CWM, when I boot the tablet in download mode, I can see:
- PRODUCT NAME: SM-T311
- CURRENT BINARY: Cusom
- SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Is it related? Someone help plz...
The question is do i really have to install a new rom, now that the tablet is rooted with CWM on it, can't do any manipulation to allow the chinese rom to accept google playstore etc...
My biggest problem with the chinese rom that comes with it is that i cant install download google playstore, i installed it but everytime i open it, it closes right away. Not google nor other google apps available neither since it was sold in china...

You should be able to post on ROM forum now(as you've reached 10 posts.
And the fix permissions option should be in 'advanced' section in CWM(not sure, I use TWRP recovery)

In the end, I just used a previous version of Odin (3.4 instead of 3.9) to flash an original stock rom.
Now the problem is that I have a new CWM that works with the volume up, volume down button, and this menu:
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from external storage
- zipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update from cache
Since the rom is not really good, i wanted to flash another one (one of those we just talked about), but the backup i did with the previous CWM i had (Philz Advanced CWM 6.08.90) is nowhere in the tablet anymore (i dont have any sd card) and i dont know how to make a back up with this CWM...
So now the question is how to make a backup with this version of CWM so I can try to flash other roms, or how to get the version that i had before without takin any risk of brickin the device (so i can make another backup and try to flash another)

Are you sure the new recovery is CWM and not stock recovery?? If you flashed stock ROM, it should've given you stock recovery again...
(Does it show the CWM hat logo in the background?)

Yup, I think you'd better to start over again. Try take a look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401901
It works well for my SM-T311 :good: Then you can reroot and make a backup from TWRP easily.
I also suggest you to take a look at this too : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522091 From there, you can get PhilZ touch recovery based on CWM v.6.0.4.5
