I decided to use CyanogenMod 10 for my Samsung Captivate.
1
First, I donwloaded a stable CM10 for my Captivate on CM official page and put it into my phone. But my phone used some modified ROM (2.3) which can’t be upgraded to CM10. So I flashed my phone back to stock ROM of Captivate.
I backed up my phone using Nandroid in recovery mode (turn off phone, hold volume up & down simultaneously then press & hold power button).
I opened I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe, then plugged the phone to my laptop. The program quickly detected my phone with a yellow sign, I clicked Start (or Master Clear I don’t remember) and waited for some minutes.
After the process completed, the phone was already at stock ROM.

At this step I couldn’t use recovery mode (I think it was because of the lack of ROM Manager). I couldn’t find RM on Market because the lastest RM is now not supported on 2.1! So I had to google and download RM 2.5 which can run on 2.1 Eclair.
The phone needed to be rooted before it could use RM. After trying some ways, only UnlockRoot worked!
Then I installed RM and used it to install recovery clockwork and rebooted to recovery mode.

At this step I couldn’t find the recovery clockwork mode normal menu, so I chose Advanced and didn’t know why but everything was OK after that!
Chose Install zip from sd card and browsed to the CM10 zip file.
After the process completed, my phone rebooted to CM10 successfully

The last problem was I couldn’t find Google Play or any program of Google on CM10! The reason is CM Team can not put them into their ROM because of Google Copyright Rules.
I had to download gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and installed it through recovery mode just like CM ROM (Install zip file from sd card).
