Hi everybody,
I got this phone on ebay when i was in US. I didnt check the phone when I was there.. It is being to late to send it back i guess..
The phone has problem with wifi and bluetooth. Wifi shows error when i try to enable it. and bluetooth show nothing.. NO Mac address shows on info.
After a little search as i understand, i need to flash the kernel on the phone. But i have no knowlage on flahing kernel..
Any ideas would be appreciated.. thanks.
Can't flash the kernal due to the locked bootloader. You can try using RSDlite to flash the fastboot files. Look in the dev section

Maybe you can try flashing a stock ROM and SBFing?

Oh duh, is this the Verizon D3? (862) I ask because that is all the SBF will work for. The 860 doesn't have SBF yet AFAIK.

I just installed DLEV 5 and it doesn't have asian font support. Can't change the system locale to the korean. I was wondering how I could solve this problem
Languages have to be in the ROM or built to add to the ROM in a CWM flashable ZIP. I can't make that, sorry. ..

if you have a later build phone that came with froyo on it, odin one click may cause a bootloop. if that happens:
1.calm down
2. at the bottom of the op of the thread i linked there are links to other firmware packages usewd in the pda slot of full odin. get back into download mode and flash one of those.
Or you can just flash a froyo kernel with odin and then flash the froyo rom in recobery and keep the gb boots as they are backward compatible.
I just got my captivate. Before this all I have had is HTC Androids. It was already rooted and I put cm7 on it but I want to try other roms and I can't flash any other ROM. It just stays on cm7. How can I flash another ROM on here? I think I have the Froyo boot loader on it. I hope I don't have to use Odin because I only have a Mac and haven't been able to find Odin for Mac

Heimdall works on MAC. Odin doesnt.
if you are going to be supplying answers to noob questions, please try and answer with actual knowledge rather than 'maybes'. your reply that someone needed to use ODIN one click could lead them to a bootloop, but you didnt think about that, did you? then you would be to blame for it when he comes crying back on the forum when hes freaking out about his phone not working after following your advice.
not trying to be rude, because i know you mean well, but you need to fully understand the captivate before you can open a thread like this.
Thanks for the quick answers. looks like I've got a project for today.

Hey dude I know what I'm talking about cuz he didn't mention that He had Mac not windows. Also if he did flash with odin it would only soft brick which is Totally recoverable, only hard brick would be flashing the 3 button fix, that would hard brick him.

Soft bricks are recoverable, but what if he has the bad luck and his key combos dont work for what ever reason (it happend to me once) You just made that noob freak out and spend unnecessary time to make/ buy a jig when it could have been avoided. Don't get me wrong Im one that believes everyone should have atleast a jig.
And show a little more respect Pirateghost is a dev with 3,000+ post I think he knows more then us... Just saying.
I was about to say that i'm not
a noob. But I guess I am to Samsung. Lol.
I do know that if I mess my phone up its my fault. Trust me, I won't come back pissed at anyone.
But thanks again for the help!

Im on stock rom froyo. Should i start at the "prepping the system" step? Thanks a lot for your help.
Well, this is my opinion, I am not sure what Overcome will say.
The prep is needed because there are some people who are on locked bootloader in froyo.
Also, once rooted you can do Titanium Backup.
That is why it says you need to be rooted first.
But:
- if you don't care about Titanium Backup, no need to root.
- if you have locked bootloader, you won't be able to continue. Unless you root, then unlock the bootloader.
So my suggestion, jump straight to the Odin flash for froyo.
Edit: I never have locked boot loader so I don't know the impact.
the guy on the other thread can't boot after flashing, and think maybe it is due to boot loader locked.
So I retract, best is to follow overcome to the letter if you are on froyo.
Im already rooted with z4 root. What should i do now? What step should i go to?
still from the top.
Froyo, right?
You need to check if your bootloader is locked.
If not locked, and you have all your apps backup,
then just get the GB-stock-safe package,
unzip it and flash using Odin.
will try that later once i'm free thanks
i followed all the steps and managed to run on overcome, but now i can't get any mobile network signal and still can't make calls. help meeee

Overcome may brick a cdma device. You should read before flashing.
Or ask if unsure.

Hey guys, I know that not every rom is made for xt860 so Im just wondering, when I Installed minimoto it wouldn't connect to bell, It found it but then said my similar isn't compatible with the connection. I used to be on mav rom but out of nowhere it stopped working kept force closing my texting apps. I don't remember if installed a patch to get my connection working or something. Lol thanks if anyone helps me out with this. I've been out if the scene for awhile. Also can anyone confirm if YouTube, Facebook and guitar pro tabs work on ics? I also read ics has glitches with calling and mms. I don't have time to read through forums ATM so it'd be cool if someone could help me out with getting g this stuff installed. If I absolutely need to edit the build.prop to get it working then ill do that. If you can call, text and use Facebook and the ultimate guitar app then I want to switch to ics. Thanks

http://bakedrom.com/baked-downloads/ My guess is he found the rom here. However even though the captivate is shown as available for v6 there is no link for download. So he either downloaded it from elsewhere or downloaded the galaxy s version thinking it would work for captivate. Or maybe they had an active link previously.
