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.

I tried to download superoneclick via this link:

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.

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.

Difference between custom and stock.
Hi all,
I'm new here on XDA-Developers, and have a question about the different types of kernels.
Here the phone can be adjusted with a stock or a custom kernel.
I would really like to know the difference between the two, so i can pick up one to root my Galaxy Ace 2.
When i bought mine Gingerbread came with it, but half year later i upgraded to Jelly Bean with Samsung Kies.
My phone became very slow 2 days later, and i'am unable to reach my gallery, cannot make photo's and Whatsapp incoming media cannot be downloaded.
However i deleted some unused apps at that time, but the worked for a day and the system memory became full again.
Could anyone help me out with this problem?
My external sd card has 32 GB of memory, 3 GB is used 29 GB unused.
Regards,
n0rt0x
Hi guys! im trying to root my ace 2 with jb stock rom installed but that .zip files doesn't work for me...
i put that update.zip, root.zip or however they are named, boot into stock recovery, choose install from external storage and no files get found.
sd card works fine and stock rom can mount it but files cannot be found...
looks like i need custom recovery for root and root for custom recovery.... -.-
Choose from sdcard.
No you dont need root for custom recovery. Btw you can flash root.zip directly from stock recovery

is there away to do this with STOCK kernel on GB?
This is a little confusing as it would suggest I could flash a custom kernel with our root...Is that correct?

I was unable to flash CWM using this method. (on my GT-I8160 running Android 4.1.2)
It gave me the "signature verification failed" error.
However this method was very quick and worked perfectly fine for me.
ok, due to not having privileges of posting outside links(min 10 posts required) go to androidxda.com and search for "root samsung galaxy ace 2 i8160"
No CWM required (but I think i'll install that anyway).
Thanks for the TUT
Hi i followed your method the TUT is great, and i wouldnt call myself a noob but im really having troubles. I flash the md5 file through odin i get a PASS all threads completed succesfully however when i reboot into recovery and look inside the extSD to flash SuperSU its empty.... so i rebooted the phone and installed through the playstore and it gives me the ,device does not have the binaries installed and SU cannot install them 'this is a problem', speach, any ideas?

and tell me the best custom rom that i can use it every day and work fine and fast , and get links for me
i speak arabic & i'm not good in english , sorry for my bad english guys
All custom roms for android 4.x have few bugs. So, if you are okay with that, I will suggest installing CM11. It works nice except for few bugs here and there.
But, if you prefer a fully stable rom, you have to stick with android 2.3.6. In that case, I will suggest FlyOnGB rom. Also, you can try doing a factory reset and see if that helps.
CM11: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534312
FlyOnGB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353292
As for setting up odin, you can use it only to install md5 or tar files. nearly all custom rom are uploaded as zip file, and are to be flashed from recovery mode. You will need to copy the zip file to phone, and boot into recovery using Vol Up + Home + Power key. Of course, you will need to root your phone to go into recovery mode.

Custom roms are already rooted, so you don't need to do anything on them. To root a stock rom, you need to flash the cf-root for that particular rom, and then restart the phone. Use this link to download the cf-root file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253
To flash the cf-root file, first you need to flash the stock rom, and restart the phone. Then you can use Odin to flash the cf-root just like you flash a rom.
Google apps are your default android apps (play music, maps, google search and such). You don't need these necessarily, as you can download them from play store too. Few roms have bugs with play store apps, therefore they give you modified version of them in that thread.
If you want to flash the google apps, you can do it just like you do it for custom rom. After installing custom rom, just reboot to recovery mode. Now, select the google apps zip file, and install it the same way you installed the custom rom.
If you are stuck, follow the steps from those link as it is. Use this link for more help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737

For starters, stay away from ROM Manager! It's known to cause different sorts of problems on different devices while installing CWM and ROMs. I have only good things to say about ROM Toolbox in terms of tweaks and utilities, but never used it for ROM installation, and would suggest not to. Just download the ROM you want from its original source, put it on internal or external storage, and flash using your recovery (my personal all-time favourite is PhilZ Touch CWM, not sure what you are using). Do the proper wipes before flashing (full wipe is always recommended, especially between stock and CM/AOSP ROMs. Make sure you also flash other possibly applicable components (depends on the ROM and your preferences) -- gapps, kernel, etc. See if it works that way. I just don't see any reason to use 3rd-party apps for "ROM management" -- the simpler the process, the better.

Man, that sounds scary! You really need to do some reading on the basics, before you screw something up.
You can flash ZIP files from recovery, including ROMs, kernels, recoveries, and apps. However, you need Odin, a PC connection, and a download mode on your tab in order to flash things like official ROM packages (typically in tar.md5 format).
If you want to flash the ROM in zip format, you can do that in recovery. In general, if you have problems doing that, your other option is Odin and a stock ROM; then you can start over.
Looking closely at your photo, you have a stock recovery. You can only flash signed zips from it, which means you won't be able to flash custom ROMs or kernels. I would suggest to start with flashing a custom recovery (look up PhilZ Touch CWM, it's the best). This will make things easier for you.
P.S.: Sorry, didn't mean to sound harsh... It seems things got a bit confusing in the process, so questions and answers didn't really line up...
well ....I have been doin a lot of research,maybe too much lol....but the only thing I can get outta all of it is that to flash a kernel or rom or both I need to go into recovery(power and up volume) and do a wipe of the cashe and install.....then it seems to trail off there with a ok now your done go enjoy....
I cant seem to find any kinda description of what happens in between the wiping of the cashe/devlick and the install...I keep ending up in the recovey section wheather I use rom manager rom toolbox or just me following directions. I will say this though.....I do not see the cwm logo in the recovery....I stiil have the android and he lays there dead then does a quick flash to an error message then I get the menu....but there is no "mount and storage" and "backup and restore" option for me to choose from I put the tab into recovery mode and took a picture....its in the previous post.
I am still using the stock rom and kernel btw....Im not sure if I have mentioned that. I havnt been able to flash anything.

is there a specific PhilZ Touch for the tab 2? or can I just download it to the computer and send it to my tab via odin?

Not sure exactly what and how you did previously, but the fact is that you've got a stock recovery now. You need a custom recovery - it doesn't have to be PhilZ, even though I strongly recommend it. You can install standard CWM, too, no problem with that. To install PhilZ, you either need CWM to be already installed, or you need to use Odin.
For details and install instructions on PhilZ CWM, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202667
Oh, BTW, as an alternative to Odin, look up the Mobile Odin by Chainfire on Play Store. It allows you to flash Odin packages from your device directly. Very useful tool! Free version will do, but the paid one has more features.

Yes, there is. Look in the thread I linked above.
Yep.....i got it stuck in forever boot using mobile odin.... Uugggh....I'm gonna return everything to stock and re-root it.....what ever I did the first time rooting and installing cwm I must a missed a step or something. I'll repost my progress when I'm back to stock and rooted properly
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
YAY!!! Merry Christmas to me!!! I unrooted and repaired my tab 2 7.0 . I also re-rooted it and installed philztouch and everything is installed properly this time. Funny thing though.....after I got the tab working and before I re-rooted it...I tried to do the factory update to 4.2.2 ,since now I'm only on 4.1.1,it said that I had the latest updates available and my apps and phone list didn't auto load like when I first got my tab....hhhmmmm...anyways it works now and all root stuff and twrp is properly :highfive::highfive: only one more question...now that TWRP is working....when I want to download a kernel or rom do I leave it in Zipped form when I put it on the tab and the tab unzips it and flashs it or do I unzip it? .....sorry for all the basic questions but ya cant learn unless you ask questions

Well, congrats, and merry Christmas! A bit confused - are you using PhilZ CWM, or TWRP?
As for zip files, leave them as they are, don't unzip - the recovery will install them. Just a suggestion - whenever possible, especially for large files like complete ROMs, verify the MD5 checksum to make sure your file is not corrupt during download.
just went into recovery and it says Philz touch 6

1. Download the XXBMD6 Stock ROM (which I am not able to)
2. Run ODIN and select the Stock ROM
3. Turn ON mobile in Download Mode and flash the Stock ROM
4. Then flash the CWM in similar way from ODIN from the attached zip file on first page.
5. Put KyleOpen ROM 3.4.0 on MicroSD Card
6. Reboot phone in Recovery Mode
7. select Install zip from SDCard option
8. Reboot and everything should be working
Please let me know if thats how its supposed to be? Also can I know what is the Kyleopen Tool does?
Also what is the Root.Superuser mod? Do I need to flash that too?
Do I have to use a separate program to root my phone? Or how do I know if my phone is rooted?
Thanx for Help!
P.S: I have a couple of phones I want to install custom ROM to make them fast. So this is a starting phone which I want to test with.
