This thread is reserved for nightly builds of CyanogenMod Rom for Samsung Captivate.
All Samsung Roms run on top of BML/RFS, CyanogenMod 7 does NOT.
It runs on MTD/yaffs2 (like Nexus One) which means you'll not able to flash just any kernel or run just any other filesystem you want. Use it as it is if possible, otherwise confirm with the kernel developer that you are trying to install whether it would work with CM. We do not support other kernels and know nothing about their capabilities or compatibility. Only the data partition, which is on movinand, is ext4 like on speedmod or voodoo ("lagfix"). No "lagfix" is necessary because this does not use any Samsung proprietary file systems.
CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.
Code:
** These CyanogenMod builds are highly experimental and unsupported.
**
** Please refrain from submitting bug reports for any issues
** you may encounter while running one of these builds.
**
** Submitting bug reports on nightly builds is the leading
** cause of male impotence.
What are Nightly builds? Auto compiled build of the latest CyanogenMod source from github. This version changes each night and aren't officially supported.
If you find bugs/issues you can/must discuss here (do not submit nightlies bugs on CyanogenMod issue tracker).
Warning : Not for new users, flash this build only if you know what you are doing !!! Make SURE you can get into Download mode using only buttons (no other method, Download mode from just buttons is essential).
INSTRUCTIONS:
Latest version: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=captivatemtd
Check the md5sum if you want to be sure that the download worked (different OSes have different programs that do md5, on ubuntu it is md5sum that you run against the zip you download and compare to the md5sum number shown on the download website). ROMManager does this automatically for ROMs you download via ROMManager.
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Captivate (or coming from another ROM)?
Easy way:
Start with a rooted Eclair/Froyo running Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders (do not ask us how to do this).
Install ROMManager Premium.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Captivate (MTD) (ignore the warning about not having an official, pick ClockworkMod 2.x).
Make sure you can reboot into ClockworkMod recovery from ROMManager. Reboot and get back into ROMManager Premium.
Choose download ROMs.
Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.
Check the Google Apps addon.
Check Backup current ROM!
Check wipe data, cache, dalvik cache.
Let ROMManager finish the installation.
Harder way:
Make sure you're running a Eclair/Froyo Firmware (2.1 or 2.2) and Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders!
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)
- Upgrading from earlier CM7?
ROM Manager method:
Install ROMManager Premium.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Captivate (MTD) (ignore the warning about not having an official, pick ClockworkMod 3.x).
Choose Download ROMs.
Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.
Check the Google Apps addon.
Check Backup current ROM!
Check wipe cache, dalvik cache.
Let ROMManager finish the installation.
Clockwork Mod method:
Download and push the ROM zip file to the sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Install the ROM zip from sdcard (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)
There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps. After flashing the rom, don't forget to flash Google Addon package if you want it. ROM Manager will allow you to flash it if you just go into it and after flashing the ClockworkMod recovery for MTD devices, choose Download ROMs, and pick Google Apps.

That is the funneyest thing i have herd.
Just want to make sure my understanding is correct
- Don't use "reboot recovery" command or other shiny things to do this!
Flash cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar as pda using odin without auto-reboot
So after flash of efs pull battery, get to dl mode, flash initial kernel with auto reboot off. Pull bay after flash go back to recovery?
Do a wipe
Factory restore in clockwork?
Install the Nexus S USB-Drivers from SDK-Manager if you're using windows.
Are these drivers needed to use odin our just files transfers
To revert to a samsung rom, simply use odin with repartition option enabled.
Does odin one click qualify here or use full version?
Just making sure I understand instructions fully, thanks
thx for your hard work man

Thank you very much but because this is a test release, I will keep my eye very close to see how everyone else does on this ROM. Actually, I'm scared to flash this until it's stable enough for a daily driver .
Can I reserve a post this late? Lol

No, please read the instructions fifty-thousand times before you do anything. It clearly says to use the three button combo to reboot, directly underneath that. If you do a battery pull while in Download mode, you risk destroying your phone.

These are drivers to use your phone (incorrect, but avoiding the question). Just install the drivers, because the instructions say so. If you don't, you can't plug your phone into your computer.

Odin One Click. Or Odin3. It doesn't matter. Just reboot into Download mode using the button combo and use Odin.
I must be dumb but, There is no efs-backup for initial kernel to even download, Or I'm unable to find it. On that page, all I see is Initial package, update, and google-addon. No kernel, no efs package.
EDIT: k. I just fail. It was inside the initial package. .-.
Thank you for the response. The initial kernel to be flashed via odin is the z image inside the initial package?
This is why I love Android and XDA! Sweet! Even before Samsung releases it to the I9000 (granted it's still under development).
Are the modem links dead for anyone else?
Yeah I have no idea where the "initial kernel" is. It's not ANYWHERE on the site, nor in the initial package.

Great job guys. I want to try this as I will flash almost anything once. I will give it some thought. I feel I am one step above noob. Any noobs out there might want to wait some more. Then again if you are a flasher...
Awesome work/progress.
Edit: I made the plunge. Worth every minute.
Okay First of all download the following files
a)http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/VQ8PQk_V.zip (4.0.3 OTA)
b)http://android.clients.google.com/p...a25375426.signed-soju-ota-189904.1ada2537.zip (2.3.6 Official I9020T Build)
c)http://bit.ly/su2361ef (SU flashable)
d)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686 (Grab recovery form this thread)
e)http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (Grab the android SDK installer)
f)http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=687157&d=1313224429 (Radio file only required for I9020A)
Okay so when done with all that proceed as follows
1) Backup your current apps using Titanium Backup (Optional/Recommended)
2) Backup(Nandroid) your rom using backup option in CWM (Optional/Recommended)
3) Do a full wipe, wipe sdcard, system, data, cache Transfer a,b,c,f to your phone.
4) Flash the 2.3.6 Official I9020T Build you had downloaded using the install zip option in CWM (IMP-DO NOT REBOOT RIGHT NOW)
5) Flash the flashable SU file you had downloaded and then reboot.
6) Once your phone is on, continue to set up your account or skip it as you wish. (Optional)
7) Open up market, download the latest SU app, Voodoo OTARootKeeper, Titanium Backup and any other app you use that requires root.
8) Open the updated SU app, hit menu button and click preferences, go all the way down, click on su binary(tap to check for updates) , and make sure it updates to v3.0.3
9) After that is done, open and allow root permissions to all your root apps. (This is important)
9.5) Run Voodoo OTARootKeeper and click on protect root, make sure all options get checked.
10) Turn off phone, keep volume up and power pressed to boot into fastboot.
11) Select recovery with volume buttons and use power to launch.
12) Once you see a android bot image and an arrow image, keep volume up pressed and press power once, then you'll see some options appear.
13) Select apply update option and find the official 4.0.3 OTA file you had downloaded and flash. Reboot.
14) Once you have booted into ICS, go to Voodoo OTARootKeeper and select resture Root, all options should now be ticked, if not something went wrong.
15) Voila, you have root. Now to get back CWM recovery you can follow this -
i) Place the recovery img file in the android sdk platform-tools folder
ii) Switch to the directory where you unzipped the Android SDK & go to "tools"
iii) Then type "fastboot flash recovery yourfilename.img" & hit enter
iv) That should do it.
v) Optionally you may do it form Rom Manager too, if it works.
16) (ONLY FOR I9020A) Reboot phone, turn it off, boot into fastboot, select recovery, CWM should launch, flash the radio file you had downloaded to get radio working on I9020A (ONLY FOR I9020A)
Root only works for the apps that were installed while on 2.3.6
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip , use this root file, flash it in cwm, everything works, permissions etc.
This might work for other variants, tested on I9020A and I9020T, I take no responsibility for anything that might go wrong with your device. I take no credit for any links or procedures provided in this guide, I just tested and compiled.
Thanks and best of luck.

Might not work, though you can try, if it fails, do it my way, also its impossible to get any kind of root that way.
Link for the ATT Radio doesnt seem to be working
Great work!
wipe SD card?
Is this necessary?
I don't think it's necessary to wipe the SD card, I followed the procedure in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396913 and although it said my SD card would be wiped, everything was still there after I was done!
Anyone on a i9023 tried this?
Hmm...does "any version" includes M200(Korean Nexus S)?

I think he meant that for the 9020A radio
Link fixed, sorry for that, SD wiping might not be necessary, but I suggest as it makes it cleaner. Might work for I9023 and M200, I have no clue, maybe some experienced developer can answer that better.
Not to crap on a great tutorial, This is exactly what I would be looking for if I were not already set up and running. Last night was a dizzying whirlwind of flashing, high heart rates and finally becoming familiar with fastboot and flashing things like that.....lol
But in the end I simply found a cwm flashable zip without radio or bootloader and installed through cwm like any other rom. As far as root all I did was flash a zip file found on the forums and I was good to go.
Hi mine keeps hanging in the boot animation and can't get into recovery, what else can i do? Is my phone bricked?
little hiccup at step 12. im getting the android bot with exclamation mark but i press volume up with power and nothing happens. menu doesnt show up....
Edit: NVM... i pressed it 3 or 4 times and it finally worked

Of course there are other ways, but as our grand master of Cyanogen and Samsung ceremonies, sir Entropy pointed out, the only 100% SAFE WAY to do it is by reverting to GB, WITH PC ODIN, NOT MOBILE ODIN.

The "Return-to-GB" should only be made once you're on "dangerous" kernels, such as Stock Samsung ICS, or ROMs based on stock Samsung ICS. In the case of Cyanogen, you can flash back and forth (with the mention of full-wiping in between, as the guide in their OP says) as much as you want.
No return to GB needed between CM9 and CM10

Wrong, now he says that you only have to flash the CM9 safe kernel from CM9 thread FAQ. If you look at the last CM9 thread, you find that Entropy said several times there's no need to flash GB or abyss kernel.

CM9 kernel is safe.
People are too ****ing obsessed with this Abyss ****... There are plenty of safe kernel options, as long as you avoid anything based on a Samsung stock kernel. All source-built custom kernels I am aware of other than Franco r1 and r2 (r3 and later are fine) are safe.

On the lighter side... I guess you will prefer to change your signature now to "CM10 Galaxy Note - Baap of all Phones" instead of CM9 Gallaxy Note - Baap of all Phones"... after all... the Baap is DADA now!!!
By the way, how is your experience with CM10-JB?
very nice and easy to.follow guide. thanks for posting this
Can someone share the bugs in cm10?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I had trouble finding a guide on how to get JB working on my a501 so I'm xposting this to xda. The link to the superuserfix was dead, but my install worked without it. I take no credit for this. Written by "dime" over at Tegra Owners.
I wanted to write a consolidated tutorial for people on the latest/unrooted 3.2.1 OTA and how to flash it to rooted Jelly Bean ROM. If you follow step 1, it actually installs an old version of Touch Recovery for you, so you do not need to bother with Acer Recovery Installer. All links are derived from the FAQ stickied thread.
1. First you need to obtain root. Follow this guide to install a rooted 3.2.1 image.
All data will be lost. The 10 step guide is included as a PDF in the download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307539
Confirm you have the Superuser app installed once completed.
2. Download the following 4 zip archives, put them on your A500 external SD card, and do not extract them.
Touch Recovery: MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Both latest JB ROM and GApps: MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED.
Superuser Fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?xyznxalycnw9znw
3. Reboot your A500, and hold VOL- button until you boot into recovery.
VOL- is closest to the power button, what some would consider to be VOL+ on a phone.
Once in recovery, use VOL+/- to navigate the menu and power button to select.
4. Now that you are in recovery:
Go into the Wipe menu, and do a Data Wipe.
Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install/upgrade to the latest version of Touch Recovery.
Reboot the A500, and once again go into Recovery (hold VOL-).
Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install the JB ROM.
Go into the Wipe menu, and do a Data Wipe. (yes a 2nd data wipe)
Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install GApps.
Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install Superuser Fix.
(skip Superuser Fix if there comes a time when superuser is working by default)
Reboot the device (Don't hold VOL- this time).
5. You should now be in rooted JB.
Backup your apps with Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root.
Hope this helps.

worked on a501. I went from stock gb, straight to JB.
Many thanks, great post
MANY, MANY THANKS for such a great post, it really has helped me to get out of a 'sticky situation' I now have a fully functioning and latest version of JB on my PB G100 (Now Acer A500 )
You are A STAR :highfive:

I had trouble finding a guide on how to get JB working on my a501 so I'm xposting this to xda. The link to the superuserfix was dead, but my install worked without it. I take no credit for this. Written by "dime" over at Tegra Owners.
I wanted to write a consolidated tutorial for people on the latest/unrooted 3.2.1 OTA and how to flash it to rooted Jelly Bean ROM. If you follow step 1, it actually installs an old version of Touch Recovery for you, so you do not need to bother with Acer Recovery Installer. All links are derived from the FAQ stickied thread.
1. First you need to obtain root. Follow this guide to install a rooted 3.2.1 image.
All data will be lost. The 10 step guide is included as a PDF in the download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307539
Confirm you have the Superuser app installed once completed.
2. Download the following 4 zip archives, put them on your A500 external SD card, and do not extract them.
Touch Recovery: MOD EDIT LINKS REMOVED
Superuser Fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?xyznxalycnw9znw
3. Reboot your A500, and hold VOL- button until you boot into recovery.
VOL- is closest to the power button, what some would consider to be VOL+ on a phone.
Once in recovery, use VOL+/- to navigate the menu and power button to select.
4. Now that you are in recovery:
Go into the Wipe menu, and do a Data Wipe.
Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install/upgrade to the latest version of Touch Recovery.
Reboot the A500, and once again go into Recovery (hold VOL-).
Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install the JB ROM.
Go into the Wipe menu, and do a Data Wipe. (yes a 2nd data wipe)
Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install GApps.
Go into the Install Zip from SD Card menu, and install Superuser Fix.
(skip Superuser Fix if there comes a time when superuser is working by default)
Reboot the device (Don't hold VOL- this time).
5. You should now be in rooted JB.
Backup your apps with Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root.
Hope this helps.

Hi there....I'm just wondering how this works!!!!!
If I understand your guide correctly then,
U run timmydeans v4 rooted HC bootloader
check s/user
Flash 1.7.3 ics recovery, the ROM, gapps and s/user fix
Then enter recovery wipe/flash etc....
So, not only did u manage to flash a recovery, u r also running JB - all without the unlocked boot loader?????
I have to give this a go....if this really does work you have made my day, lol
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk 2
EDIT: k I've just read 60 odd pages from the JB ROM thread - and answered my own question...seems this tegra-owners ROM runs with or without the patched boot loader....interesting!
EDIT: ok i tried this anyway even tho i was running the patched bootloader....may explain my issues!!
had troubles right from the get go - The tdv4 EUU wouldnt recognise my tab in apx mode, after mucking about I got the "Pass"
rebooted into cwm - nup - stock recovery??? weird....
found a boot.p file so renamed that and installed acer recover installer to flash cwm 1.7
from there flashed cwm 1.7.3 and the rest of the guide!!!!
could not install super user fix zip kept telling me there was an error and had aborted installation...s/user seems to be working ok
so after 7 hours I have thors JB with the 3,01 BL
perhaps it could be made clearer that this guide is for tabs runnin gingerbread or HC, altho it will work on the v8 BL the question would be why you would want to....however for those who havent updated its not as complicated as trying to get ones head around patched bootloaders, nvFlashing etc.
JUST A WARNING not all ICS/JB roms can be flashed like this MOST WILL REQUIRE the patched bootloader....
ALWAYS BACKUP and ALWAYS CHECK THE DEV's OP for whatever rom u intend to fllash, and if u dont understand something
please ask stating what rom/BL config you're on and what you're trying to flash to!!! Its alot easier than trying to talk/msg your way out of a brick

After the update did you have any issues with cellular data or is that still intact too?
Thanks!

I dont use a sim card. but on my a501 it asked me to please insert sim during first boot and always has a signal bar in the bottom right the indicates no reception. So most likely yes. Hope that helps.

For me cellular data has worked flawlessly. It has been definitely the best rom for my a501!
Thread Closed
Thread is currently closed and links removed for the following reason;
Thor202ro rom kernel violates GPL. Otherwise know as not releasing kernel source. Most people here in the forums are well aware of the fact that non-GPL compliant kernels are not allowed to have links directly posted to them. This in the XDA rules.
The reason GPL is in place, is so that things like "carrier IQ' don't happen again. This is why kernel source should be open-source. Without it, the kernel could be transmitting personal data, and nobody would know it.
Additionally, the website in question, is a revenue generating website, and thus this also violates XDA rules by having links posted to revenue generating websites (ad-fly) to download Thors software. So this is a touchy spot.
Most people know where the site is anyhow.
And no, I am not going to re-hash the history.
Any issues regarding this, then please contact XDA Senior Moderators.

do step by step these Instructions for flashing any ROM on GT-P1000 :
1- first you must install Samsung USB drivers from attachment
2- then you must root your device
you can root p1000 2.3.X with DoomLord V4
download Doomlord then extract into your pc
set your device in USB debugging mode then connect via usb cable into pc
go to folder and run as administrator mode "runme.bat" file
press any key and waiting until your device restarts
if you see "SuperUser" icon in apps root be successful
3- galaxy tab p1000 is an old android device so you cannot flash cwm recovery with "Rom Manager"
you must flash recovery with odin
download Odin 3 v1.7
download recovery file "http://www.mediafire.com/?q8s0wnj1s6109gc"
open odin and unchecked "Re-partion" *** if u check this maybe brick your device!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2230439&stc=1&d=1378154387
click on PDA and open recovery file that you download
turn off your device
then hold volume- with power button , go to downloading mode
connect tablet via usb to pc , waiting for installing drivers
goto odin if you see yellow COM text its ok ,,
click on START button and waiting until restarting your device
now recovery cwm is installed
4- download your favorites rom and copy it into your sd card folder
5- turn off the device and hold volume+ with power button for 10-15 sec
up = volume +
down = volume -
select = power
Make a Nandroid backup before you install the new ROM.
go to wipe cash and do it
go to factory reset and do it
go to advanced and wipe calvik and wipe battery stat
then go back and select install zip from sd card
select your ROM file and tap power button , wait for installing rom
after you see Successful text you can reboot device and Enjoy from your new ROM
if you see this error : install aborted (status 7)
go to mount and storage then unmount "/system"
then format "/system" and "/data"
try again and it will be ok !!

no rooting will not delete any data
I think there is a problem with the recovery file
---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------
If you will use "Installing Stock Rooted Rom" method then it will be formatted, but if it's rooting with some file then i think it's ok
I completed step 3, it said that all completed but now it is stuck in a restart loop, it shows some error colors (see image), then it shows Samsung logo, vibrates 3-4 times and it restarts again.
I cannot seem to get it recovery mode (UP+Power), download mode enters OK (Down+Power).
Any ideas ?
suite?

do you have solved this problem? I have the same picture after installed the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar file.
Thanks
I was able to fix mine using instructions from a different topic, it was about the "Overcome" (images, rom or whatever was that), the file name is "The_Installation_Guide_The_Overcome_Experience.pdf" and at some point it tells you to load around 3 different files in that program, and flash them all.
After this I was able to put Cyanogen images on card and easy install them with the ClockWork mod loader.
Yeah. Do not panic if the video is hosed. I also got strange disruptions when following 'some online guides'.
The closest guide I have found that works to upgrade from Stock reliably, is the process mentioned on https://goo.im/devs/cmwiki/p1/p1c/ (Verizon CDMA P1000). I only have the CDMA version, not the SIM card version.
This is undergoing major revisions. I hope. I can say there are two (2) Verizon SCH-I800 recovery images available now. One that works is the ODIN image from TheCollective.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383201
TheCollective repository http://www.theandroidcollective.org/i800/public/
I have tested this image. It works.
I recovered the device after a working 2.3.5 stock was running (from the other viable stock image) and I wanted to flash a modem.bin from heimdall. Mistake. Device locked up at 100% along with heimdall, and a forced reboot (hold power down) only gave the
PHONE - ! - COMPUTER
screen.
It would also work to restore from Download mode, with ODIN and TheCollective stock.
I have never gotten the modem working again, though.
Hi there, where can I get a superuser flashable zip for P1000? I changed from cyanogenmod to omnirom and I have lost root access.
Are you sure? I am using Omnirom and I have super user.
You mean you don't have the SuperSu or whatever icon in app tray.
Go to Settings, scroll down all the way, above "about tablet" and performance, is there a SuperSu option?
