Samsung Captivate Forum

Only the following are selectable options:

Galaxy S i9000
Galaxy S i9000 (MTD)
Google Nexus S
Nexus S 4G

Any reason as to why my phone is not an available option? How else can I go about installing ClockworkMod Recovery?

THE BIGGEST THING TO KNOW IS THAT YOU NEED TO FLASH BACK TO ORIGINAL STOCK BECAUSE BOOTLOADERS ARE DIFFERENT THAN I9000!!!

You just have to install the ROM packages.

• If you have the Captivate GB Bootloader you can go i9000 ROM or Captivate ROM without having to flash bootloaders.
• If you have i9000 bootloaders, and plan on staying on Gingerbread for a while, flash the Captivate bootloader. It brings back the 3-button recovery, if you had it to begin with.
• If you’re using CM7, stay on the Froyo bootloader. I’m not sure if it’s compatible with any Gingerbread bootloader yet…

I personally always remove my external memory and SIM card before using ODIN. It is not needed as people will obviously post and neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.

1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm
2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.

3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image attached)

4) Flash fugu kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show….php?t=1010141 (Root kernel if link does not work http://www.multiupload.com/A4GDWX57Q1)
In the first post look for and select the download link in step 2: (credit to nikademus)
How to use:
1: Flash the stock ROM
2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin
3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)
5: Reflash the original kernel

5) Flash stock kernel found in the link (credit to lownox for helping me on that) http://www.multiupload.com/HT35L405C0

6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)

7) Flash kernel from Designgears to have CWM http://www.multiupload.com/H39ENVJR7L

Install Superuser from market https://market.android.com/details?i…=search_result

9) Install busybox from market https://market.android.com/details?i…=search_result

10) ENJOY!
