Samsung Captivate (How To Install Gingerbread ROM's)

[sunfirestorm0505]

So i followed to instruction from this video but now now mater what rom i run it always starts up with the i9000 screen. Any idea on how to fix this because even flashing stock doesn't get rid of it

[nafiptrr]

I love u <3 

[w1n5t0n4]

is this still up to date for flashing mosaic 8 ??? please say yes

[jurassic512]

You discredited your jig in your own video... you hold 2 buttons for Downloading mode correct? You have a jig for that. You hold 2 buttons for Recovery mode correct? You DON'T have a jig for that. So by your own words/video, the DL jig is a waste of money. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[SoulJah876]

Hello, could you do a video on how to install DLev 5.0 on the Samsung Captivate?

[lebjames2323]

does the phone have to be rooted again before trying to flash the bootloaders?

[afrodominicano23]

I just want to say thanks man! I had to restart my Captivate after I bricked it from a bad ROM and I just fixed it with this! Onto Cyanogenmod!! Imma buy a JIG now

[Nick0920]

Great vid. I just ordered a JIG! :) Quick question - if I wanted to just run stock Gingerbread, would I just stop after flashing the kernel? The point just before you went into Recovery and flashed Mosaic?

[dante04srt]

Will this work for flashing CM7 (or 7.1) as well or do we need to follow the directions in the other vid from March?

[TheCakeLady0726]

does this step by step process root your phone or do you need to do that step first?

[nathios]

how can i use the TalonDEV-0.5.1-RC1 ? it's possible or it's only jvp ?

[TotalAwesomenes369]

i did this and it worked but now i can't use swype functions... Is something wrong here?

[EnglandIsLegend]

OK, so I flashed back to stock 2.1, downloaded all the bootloaders, kernels, and the Odin you recommended. I was all set up to put the bootloader on the phone with Odin. I had the phone in download mode, had the PDA option filled with the bootloader and when I hit start it ran for a second or two then popped up that it failed. My phone then shut off and when I tried to restart it, I got the Phone-!-Computer icon. I have tried EVERYTHING to get it back into download mode but it won't work. HELP!!

[ukieman1212]

@EnglandIsLegend  try holding down volume button and power button, when screen apears release

[hernan078]

can i use GB Bootloaders with CM7 or MIUI?

[500MIKE]

Hmmm love the vids subscriber follower and liker on Facebook haha, well quick question I followed the steps until the second download mode and installed voodoo tar for my apex rom and when I boot my phone up it says gt-i9000 then sgh-i897 should I be concerned with this? =)=

[celyorke]

hi josh, this method will work with :

[ROM 2.3.4 kh3 ][31/8]FASTY II V1.5 ?

[VSrdjanV]

Does this method works with Vibrant? Are all the steps same? Thanx

[jordan2002100]

Do you need to have 2.1 or can you flash with 2.2

[ukieman1212]

i am at the where i am in recovery mode and u are aying go to mount usb to drag the rom which is a zip file in . which rom do i use or is it in the links, cause im confused. also i dont have the mosiac 2 option, maybe its because i havent put the rom. so can someone show me where the rom is. anyone can answer. ty

[Throwdown012]

hey ive put 2 different ginger bread roms on my phone and on both of them i couldnt recieve phone calls.... please help!!!!

[koolkevinc]

Do you know something to use as a program similar to odin on a Mac? I have a hard time getting access to a pc...

[pandaKH]

dude what is that thing you do that launches a google thingy and lets you browse through all your stuff?

[RedRynoTT]

@MobileTechVideos I was wondering where the link is to the boot loaders and the kernel? Cant wait till my jig arrivals, Thx for your time...

[ilplaynebody]

@MobileTechVideos will i be able to flash GR-12 following these steps. And the talon Kernel?

[davep09]

I'm looking at rooting and flashing my captivate with a ROM for the first time. Could I use this tutorial to flash Mosiac V?

[xaad86]

i did all the steps but when i went into the recovery mode i followed all the step i didnt see any mosaic 2 so i rebooted and now its dead :(

[MobileTechVideos]

@xaad86 I don't mean to call you out but this process works 100% with Mosaic 2 and nothing in this process would have caused a death other than a failed ODIN flash. Did you perhaps flash 3 button fix? That would brick it.

[xaad86]

@MobileTechVideos i followed all the steps although 3 button fix

[MobileTechVideos]

@xaad86 You should not have flashed 3 button fix after flashing GB bootloaders. It doesn't say that anywhere in this video. If that's what happened, you are hard bricked but I can still fix that. Just check out my i897 JTAG video.

[c0ry5oh]

How long should it take to load back up after installing the rom, ive tried a few times and waited 30 mins + and it just keeps looping the start up screen?

[tonmilv1]

Could this be done on a Samsung Captivate I897 from ATT?

[srikargottipati]

Im trying to flash the latest Talon 0.3.1 kernel, but it has a .zip only in XDA, but not a .tar. How can I flash 0.3.1 using Odin ? Appreciate your video

[powermans]

Is it possible to skip flashing bootloaders and use one click stock KF1 instead?

[NeonGlowification]

wait so if i'm already on GR-12, and i wanted to install Serendipity 7, do i just copy the zip file onto root of sd card and just flash it with CWM?

[MobileTechVideos]

@NeonGlowification I always recommend flashing back to stock first.

[NeonGlowification]

@MobileTechVideos oh.. damn.. well i guess it's better to do start from scratch than to get a hardbricked phone. lol thanks man.

[TheMeltedBananna]

All day today I have been fucking around with my phone following instructions on XDA but everyone there expects people to be masters at this shit. But you sir are much more clearer and helped me so much Thank You! (after 7 bricks in a row)

[asillynoob]

just notices you're using a blackberry usb cable

....I converted to android from bb as well, so I recognized the plug

[unitedfan04]

I was wondering if you could do a quick tutorial on how to properly change the i9000 bootloaders to the new ATT i897 bootloaders. And will these bootloaders work with any gingerbread rom found on XDA?

[SpaceJam836]

i did everything iin this video step by step but my phoine is stuck in a screen that has a droid guy and it says mo0dem booting...

end modem booting now start usb upload then on the right it says forced upload by key pressing please help ill subscribe and what not

[SpaceJam836]

helpppp!!!

this fucked up my phone i dont have 3 button fix anymore...

[SpaceJam836]

helpppp!!!



[SpaceJam836]

please help asp i did this and my phone now says modem booting...

end modem booting.

Now start usb upload can someone please tell me what to do

[Milkytron]

okay so i tried installing mosaic IV with talons kernel because i didnt realize you had to use xcal's. and then i flashed xcals using odin 1.82 and couldnt get into recovery. so i went back to talon to flash a different rom. and i realized i had to mount my phone to get the other rom (serendipity 7) onto my phone. so i went to mount my phone in recovery but it didnt work so i flashed to stock and mounted it and got the file onto it that way. but now Odin fails when i try flashing the bootloaders

[TKToySoldier]

Dude, you rock, thanks a lot!!!!!

[V4Ventura]

can you post up a step by step guide please, it would be easier to understand thank you :)

[MobileTechVideos]

@V4Ventura For a text guide, I'd recommend following whatever instructions are in your developer's ROM thread. Many describe different methods depending on the ROM you choose. This method has been proven to work with all the true GB ROM's an only doesn't work with CM7 and MiUi...

[mmon0429]

sorry for whatever reason i retried it and it worked...mosaic 3 is out now btw thanks for the video

[mmon0429]

okay so i already used odin to put the bootloaders and kernel on my phone and i didnt yet have the rom on it...so now i did the mount sd card thing you did but my computer says that i dont have the drivers for my phone installed which i do and it tried to automatically install the new ones but it didnt and i dont know what to do from here now

[JustinUhhh]

I do not know what my problem is.. I have all the drivers installed. I have tried multiple methods, but I cannot get my phone into download mode from the stock rom. I can from paragon RC6 because it has the option in the power menu. Is is safe just to flash from there? Or is it a lot safer to figure out how do do it from stock?

[unitedfan04]

I had a question Josh, after flashing the bootloaders and kernel, will the phone already have clockwordmod installed or will that need to be installed (previously) so that you can enter recovery mode and flash the rom?

thanks for your help

[MobileTechVideos]

@unitedfan04 Those will already be installed from the Talon kernel flash.

[unitedfan04]

@MobileTechVideos Another quick question, when you're back to stock JF6, do you need to root the phone again like the previous flashing method? Or do you just flash the bootloaders, kernel and then ROM?

[MobileTechVideos]

@unitedfan04 No root required.

[unitedfan04]

@MobileTechVideos This was so simple to do! Way easier than flashing the 2.2 ROMs! I also added one of the custom bootscreens. Your videos are simple, great and make flashing so easy. Keep up the great work!

[einavi279]

How do i put hebrew in this ?

[rafagamestar1]

[einavi279]

pleeease answer mee !!! 

[einavi279]

[Ampharos55]

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks a lot for posting this. It really was a huge help for me. You're awesome.

[caspellan]

Are you guys working on a NEW video for CM7??

[caspellan]

Wow, THANK YOU for this video. i just finished installing continumm and after watching this for the SECOND time. i was actually able to finish this task in less 5 minutes u guys make it so SIMPLER, Again THANKS to mobiletechvideos and BTW almost convinced to buy the JIG.

[rafagamestar1]

de donde saco mosaic II cuando elijo la opcion choose zip from sd card no me aparece mosaic II que hago please ayudame!!!! ya hice todo lo del video alguna otra opcion y ya no puedo poner mi tel en DOWNLOAD MOD en la pantalla del tel sale una imagen de una computadora y un telefono es eso muy malo. ya ordene uno de tus usb jig pero no me a yegado este es el numero de recibo 3778-1181-5553-6638

[MrAdAbsurdum]

oh nice, turns out my drivers were somehow deleted, im guessing since i had the drivers well before i rooted it, or maybe i updated it on a seperate pc...

[MrAdAbsurdum]

after the bootloaders my pc has no connection with my phone, i can get it into the download mode with volume -/power but odin does not recognize it, out of odin my pc doesnt even aknowledge it... any help would be much appreciated

[mimranmaan]

Can i use rom manager to go to recovery mode and flash from there as in Foroyo2.2.Actually botton method is not working and also i am using jig to go to download mode

[Guccimyster]

This didnt work on my captivate . can you help me pls ?

[MobileTechVideos]

@Guccimyster Which part?

[tradukilor2]

I looked at all the comments and could not find an answer. Does this method also applies to Mosaic III? I read that XDA thread and it seems that it requires a different kernel. Just checking.

[MobileTechVideos]

@tradukilor2 Yes this works with Mosaic III. So far I have found it doesn't work well with DARKY'S V10, MIUI AND CM7. GR-12, Continuum, Mosaic III and Perception are perfect using this.

[Lyeit]

Can you please post the link that you downloaded mosaic from? I dont want to download something random and brick my phone.

[Lyeit]

Does this method work for flashing Cyanogenmod 7? I

[Mizu0Fuu0Dama]

I saw something about the Chainfire App being relevant. Is it? I didn't see anything other than the 'usual' being done here.

[4everPho]

can I please give you a big hug. you are so fucking awesome.

[4everPho]

its taking too long. the mosaic rom..

[Ch33ryGarcia]

is the Talon Kernal the best kernal to use? bcuz ive heard that sometimes it conflicts with other programs. im no expert so im asking you :)

[bobbythecoolest]

jigs ROCK! :D

[yenndimak]

the jigs are an awesome buy he sends them out fast and I can also say it works great, its a wonderful to have for peace of mind, these videos are great for people that are new to mod'ing

[XxCrazy4aimbotx]

EVERYONE!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GET A JIG. THEY WILL SAVE YOUR PHONES LIFE AND YOURS!! :D

[xXWickedNiteXx]

Hey Josh, could you do Darky's rom for Captivate on the next review?

[nwum]

Then you just flash it on

[MobileTechVideos]

@MrMurder96 Any developer will tell you JF6 is the primary ROM to start your MOD from. It's just part of the Captivate world. 2E recovery is critical in most cases to installing ROMs and clock work mod due to it's lack of signature verification checks in .zip files. You CAN flash from 3E recovery but if your going to revert just for part of a MOD it makes no difference which one you revert to anyhow.

[riccsrocks]

What is mosiac?? where do we get that ROM? is this one of your marketing strategies? just giving half info for free and the rest half is paid?

[MobileTechVideos]

@riccsrocks TROLL.

[bobbythecoolest]

@riccsrocks

Its really not that hard.

1. You go to google

2. you type in mosiac captivate rom

3. you download it

4. you learn to wipe your ass by yourself

[nwum]

Drag and drop what on the phone? At 4:13

[MobileTechVideos]

@nwum The Gingerbread ROM of your choice. You can find many at XDA-developers - dot - com

[koolkevinc]

@MobileTechVideos is there one that you recommened?



[nwum]

What are you talking about at 4:13 about the rom??? PLEASE HELP!!!

[yamirellis]

Where is the mosiac zip file

[MobileTechVideos]

@antonyponvijai Yes.

[turf7227]

Before I flash a new ROM, I really want to root my Captivate. However, I'm on Android 2.2, and when I select "Reinstall packages" during the rooting process, it says "E: Signaure Verification Failed" and I can't root it :/

[Lyeit]

@turf7227 Superoneclick. Works everytime.

[turf7227]

@Lyeit Nope. I've tried it 3 times.

[Jayjr1105]

You can avoid the second battery pull by unchecking the "auto reboot" box in odin when you flash the kernel. Just hold vol up + pwr after the kernel is flashed to get into CWM.  Just like cm7 instructions.

[yardman0001]

Good video man

[mbuddenn]

The amount of time he talks about the damn USB jig is rather annoying. Shut it and just get to the point of the video, the How To. Not trying to sell your products, do that in a separate video.

[ryankgrant]

@mbuddenn

you are a douche.

[MobileTechVideos]

@mbuddenn Congrats on making my block list here on YouTube. If you understood how often I got asked on where to get these JIGS as well as many other things, you would understand the importance of continually reminding people as many are seeing this video for the first time and have no idea who I am. I'm sure you don't understand why commercials still exist on TV as well? I saw an AT&T commercial 3 years ago wtf! AT&T "shut it"!!! Give me a break man. That is not how it works! THUMBS UP ANYONE?

[AtheistCitizen]

@MobileTechVideos spent days in "SOFT BRICK" because the button method would not get me to DL mode. Waited by the mailbox each day...The Jig works immediately. Later had a no power bricking. The JIG pulled me out of it. ... My point? I glad I learned of the JIG, by whatever means information can be shared..including MTV self promotion.

[MobileTechVideos]

@AtheistCitizen Thanks for the testimonial! It's certainly my best friend when working on Galaxy S devices. Even out of pure convenience!

[Fluxshot101]

Great work

[nsaenz805]

Josh... Im currently running Darkys V10 Final and been thinking about trying out another gingerbread rom. Have any recommendations?

[savageskillz8]

Question if i want to put a new rom or theme would i just flash threw recovery after installing with this method.

[DILLON4570]

hey i used the one click lag fix app and i try to undo it and it bricked my phone my phone just stayed on the S screen and vibrated like a force close error i used odin and eventually got my phone back to 2.2 froyo but now my phone cant go into recovery mode and vibrates when booting upon the s screen but it lodes up and every thing is good but can i do something to be able to get back into recovery mode with volume up+down and power

[mydknight13]

Awesome! Thank you again!

[savageskillz8]

Trying this right now, i Hope i dont get hard bricked. is THIS BETTER than the long way?

[MobileTechVideos]

@savageskillz8 Much easier. Your risk of a hard brick is the same but risk of a soft brick is much less.

[roccoscirocco]

Hey Josh, thanks for the tutorial. You keep making it easier for us man! Heads up though, correct me if I'm wrong but @ 0:57 when you say, "find out more about that here" referring to flashing back to 2.1 stock, theres no link. :) Thought you'd wanna know. Thanks again man for the great videos!

[MobileTechVideos]

@roccoscirocco check again... ;)
