[Q][solved]i9000 ICS/i897 kernel and cant revert back

[mrjeems]

[edit: fixed the issue - Found a gingerbread Odin that detected the phone when in download mode]

Hi team,

I'm kind of new at this, but feel like I've tried everything.

The situation:

I currently have ICS installed on my Captivate.
I want to revert to gingerbread or froyo or any other rom, but I cant.

Issue:
No version of Odin will recognise my phone when I plug it in.
I can detect it when I do an 'adb devices' command in sdk, and when I mount it via CWM in recovery mode I can access the internal SD, but thats as far as it goes.

I've tried reinstalling the drivers, drivers for similar phone models, reinstalling kies, uninstalling kies, nothing seems to work.

I think part of the issue is that I have a mixture of i9000 and i987 firmware, so none of the drivers will work properly. I cant flash a new kernel because I cant get my computer/odin to recognise the phone. Even when I use mobile Odin it says that its not compatible with the partition on my internal SD.

All I really want to do is revert back to a working version of android, as I'm having a bunch of issues with ICS that I dont want to get in to now. (And for some reason none of the fixes work on this setup)

So I was wondering:

1. Does anyone know of a way to flash everything back to stock, kernel, rom everything via command prompt or by loading a file onto the phone via CWM bootloader?
2. Alternatively - is there a way to re-partition the SD so that I can use mobileOdin?
3. Is there anything else I can try? I have a feeling I've forgotten something obvious...

I've spent the better part of the last 2 days on it, so theres probably info I've forgotten to include.
See attachment for kernel, build etc.

I still have root access at least

I know op have solved it but for them who reading this can do this

flash any gb custom rom from any ics rom but will need to flash the rom two times continuously then it will boot up successfully

and a great rom is in my sig

Not if it is an RFS/EXT2/3/4 ROM... That requires repartitioning which cannot be done coming from MTD to BML (no one has figured it out yet). BML to MTD is possible.
