We need more info.. What's your flashing process? Do you have gb bootloaders?

What exactly is the problem with the screen? Touch doesn't work? It flickers?

First of all, forgive my English, im from Costa Rica

Right now, I have Gingerbread 2.3.5, baseband i897uckk4 with GB bootloaders, rooted with I897UCKF1-AutoRoot-DesignGears and CornKernel_UCKK4_v706 (sorry if I do not give good information, but I'm new at this ...), I can install any firmware 2.3.5 and down, but when I try to install a custom firmware, half of the screen fails to respond and other times if not, try many custom firmwares like: X-Bean 3.0, Cyanogenmod 10,9,7 stables, nightlies, AOKP, AOSP, MIUI (by flashing in CWM), and none served me perfectly, and I really want to at least have ICS, and if you could, JB, something I noticed is that whenever I installed a custom firmware, my baseband changed to "I9000UGKG3" when normally with stock firmware, was "I897UCKK4"

I hope it can fix it , thanks to everyone at XDA,

Greetings from Costa Rica,

The I9000UKG3 is your modem(baseband), not your ROM (firmware), so don't worry about that. As long as you have signal, you're fine.

Before flashing a Jb ROM, do you factory reset, clear cache/dalvik? Is the screen problem right at the start? Do you restore your apps?

Do you have the I9000 bootloaders or the I897 bootloaders?

Isn't there a black screen before the white AT&T screen? It would say SGH-I897 or SGH-I9000

Ok, We'll start from the beginning then, You can get in download mode right?

Grab Odin KK4 without bootloaders, Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and put the ROM (and Gapps) you wanna flash in the root of your internal SD. Flash KK4, boot up and make sure everything is fine. Once that's done, get back in download and flash Corn kernel.

From there, you can flash the ROM and the Gapps that go with it.

I believe you went through those steps already but hopefully we can find what's wrong by re-trying/reproducing the problem. Oh and don't restore any apps before trying it.

If that doesn't work, I'm thinking you might have the wrong Gapps or wrong bootloaders but first time I hear of a screen that doesn't work on JB but does on GB.


EDIT:
I just went through the thread to see that you already have KK4 and Corn on your phone. You don't need DesignGear to root, you can go in Corn's recovery to root your phone. Now, after re-reading, you said that sometimes it's iresponsive, what exactly do you mean by that? it takes a while to register your touch? locks up and you get no response for a few seconds?

Usually that's from lack of free ram. So a app sucking it all up. Have you tried JB (with the right Gapps) without restoring your apps?

PS.: You shouldn't restore your app with TiBu coming from GB, you can restore their data but should fresh download the apps from the market.

All right, im gonna flash aokp_captivatemtd_jb_milestone-1.zip with gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip, so, Turn off phone, enter cwm, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, flash aokp, flash gapps, fix permission and thats it right?

EDIT: I dont want to restore apps, i just want jb or ics, without that screen fail, the problem is that when i touch, it doesnt respond at all, but then 5 min later its works and then fail again, but just with the left side of the sceern....

Sounds good. Quite often you don't need to fix permission, I never had to do it.

If screen fails again, I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue.

All right, i just flash the rom an gapps with this process...: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, flash rom, gapps, and thats it....i will tell you how it goes...

Edit, im not gonna instal or update any app, just let it like that and see what happend....so now the boot process is, at&t white logo. the pink horse of aokp (XD), and thats it, no i897 or i9000 bootloaders, and when you say ¨it may be a hardware issue¨ what did you mean with that?

Usually when you boot the phone, it shows SGH-897 but it doesn't matter, I could be wrong.

As for the hardware issue, just like some Sleep of Death (SoD) issue, it's something that a software can't fix, it's something broken within the phone (hardware). I don't know if it's the case here but it's always a possibility, especially if the phone was dropped before, the screen connector might need to be pushed back into place.

You can get Odin KK4 with bootloaders. There's a risk of bricking your phone when you flash bootloaders though. There are needed to be on ROMs that are GB and up but I think you already have them.

As for the hardware thing, like I mentioned before, it could be like SoDs, where the phone will randomly shut off when you're using a ISC/JB ROM.
