I've seen a lot of people having trouble flashing Roms on here so I figure I would try to help. This program really dumbs down the flashing process and makes it entirely too simple. Read all directions, watch the video, make backups of everything, RTFM. Not responsible if you make a $500 paperweight.

Bay_wolf's AIO Captivate Toolbox 2.5 If this program has helped you, please consider donating.
Description: To help automate flashing custom ROMs onto the Samsung Captivate.
MODS: Please do not move this to another section as this is for Android development and is installed on the users computer not the phone. Thanks!
Disclaimer: I'm distributing this program as-is and no guarantee that it will not hurt your phone. So, use at your own risk and don't blame me for bricking your phone. I am to not be held liable for any outcome of the use of this program.
Things to do/know before using this program:
When you select the PIT and PDA files, it should default to the installed location and if not then browse to where you installed AIO Captivat Toolbox as the files are in there.
Enable USB debugging mode- Go to settings> Applications> Development> And then check the box next to USB debugging.
Have the ROM of your desire downloaded to your hard drive (In the program, Select ROM means the custom ROM you downloaded.).
Know a little bit about flashing and ROMs.
And that's about it. Most of the instructions are given to you by the program and are not needed to be written out here. If you find any part confusing, please comment in this thread and I'll try to implement it in the next release and I'll tell you what it means as a temporary solution.
If you ever accidentally press the download mode button when you didn't mean to, just unplug your device and do a battery pull.
To perform a master clear using ODIN, after flashing the stock firmware back onto the device, leave the phone plugged into the computer and keep ODIN open. Just click Master Clear in ODIN. !This will wipe everything off of the built-in storage and the internal SD Card (besides the stock ROM and stock apps)!
Haha, I thought it was deleted at first. Didn't see it with the normal threads. I'm learning a lot from XDA and here. Hopefully I can be a bit more helpful from here out.
