Im looking to use qtek's sense 1.5 since it is the most stable hero rom of them all+ camera wrks like it should. ima do a ap2sd script.(ima use this until cyanogen posts a full enclair (2.1/2.0) upgrade to 4.2.14 or somethin like that idk lol...and ive done some extensive searching for the boot.img/RAM Hack to remove 10mb from the GPU and add it to the existing 97mb for use. I have a MT3G and i even looked in the sapphire forums and used search. Can someone enlighten me on this matter?
ima tell yo, boy, this is da dream forumz, lol, so ya be wanna be lookin at da sapphire forums, yo, lol

i get all my roms from here because the MT3G is PVT Board 32B and the sapphire forums mainly support PVT Board 32A to almost like 95%. I cant flash any of those roms or i'll brick my phone.

I would ask in their Q&A section then, someone is bound to be able to help you
Meh, fail troll has failed.
Get the boot.img from the ramhack thread (select any you wish), make a note of which version of CM kernel you're getting the boot.img for, then get a CM build of that version and pull out the /system/lib/modules and /system/modules directories (you'll need these later so you can have wifi working etc).
In linux, download "extract-kernel.pl", "extract-ramdisk.pl", and the "mkbootimg" binary (google them) and add them to your $PATH (for example, toss them in ~/bin and when you open a terminal, export $PATH = $PATH:~/bin).
The reason the hacked boot.img can't boot the Hero build is because of differences at the ramdisk, so you just need to repack a new boot.img with the ramhacked-kernel and the desired target ramdisk.
First, extract the kernel from the ramhacked boot.img (extract-kernel.pl boot.img), then extract the ramdisk from the QTek boot.img (extract-ramdisk.pl boot.img). When you extract the ramdisk, you'll end up with a bunch of directories, a couple init.rc files, and a .gz, that one is the already-compressed ramdisk, so now all you have to do is (mkbootfs --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz -cmdline "no_console_suspend=1 console=null" -o 10mbBoot.img).
After you have your 10mbBoot.img, you can rename it to boot.img (or flash it through fastboot) and the rom will have the 10 MB ramhack now.
Now, remember those /system/lib/modules and /system/modules? From /system/lib/modules you need wlan.ko and from /system/modules you need modules.sqfs. The reason is that the modules are created against the kernel, so, if you change the kernel, the modules won't work anymore. So, now you have to take the two you got from CM's kernel and toss them to the Hero rom with the hacked kernel, and that is the short and long of it.
By the way, does the 10 MB ramhack work on the Sapphire? (they should rename the Sapphire forum "Magic" since the 32a board is the Magic and the 32b is the Sapphire).
Here's a good guide, but this is from the hero roms forum. The difference is we don't use an offset when packing our boot.imgs

then you didnt brick it you just flashed wrong.........
People will usually call "brick" anything that doesn't lead to a home screen >.<. What you got instead is a soft-brick which can be recovered from easily (just fastboot flash boot the old boot.img), so going sappimg.nbh was a bit overdoing it.
I thought you had working knowledge of linux. Your best option is asking for people to do it for you rather than asking them how to do it.
Post me some links for the rom you want to use and the kernel you want to use. If I'm in a good mood later tonight when I'm off of work I'll make you a noob-friendly update.zip that you can apply on top of the QTek rom so you get your 10 MB hack (again, does it really work on sapphire???).

yea it does but only on 32B..i been wanting to build a hero rom or atleast modify linux codes and scripts but idk where to start or how and where to gain basic knowledge of it .u and devs like cyanogen, WesGarner and eugene make it sound soooo easy ..but heres the link to the exact build i got from qtek
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4754143&postcount=6
if u can, can u do sneak an a2sd script in there for me too because it doesnt come with it lol. thanks for you help
Here it is:
Q-Tek_32B_3.03.990.6_10MBHack.zip
It's Cyanogen's latest 4.2.13 kernel with BFS-313 (for a speed boost on a Sense rom) on top of Q-Tek's Magic-Sense port for Sapphire (3.03.990.6)'s ramdisk.
The rom does seem to implement a2sd, so there's something you're doing wrong.
Flash Q-Tek's rom first, and then this (doesn't matter of your reboot in between). Don't ask me how to flash or I'll have to shoot you.

I'm sorry to kick an old thread, but I've tried this method with multiple kernels for 1.5 hero roms and I seem to break wifi everytime (yes I'm pushing the wlan.ko and modules.sqf). Is there something in the kernel itself that I need to change in order to not break the wifi? Thanks.

Hey, I want to flash a new Kernel without an update.zip and I don't have a pc right now.
Is it possible to flash the zImage without using the computer? If yes could you please give me a detailed instruction?!
Thanks in advance, I really need something like this but don't want to use the update zip since it overrides other stuff and makes them break.
Some kernels offer an update zip. Download with your phone to sdcard, reboot into recoverry, flash from zip.

Haha... this is what happens when u read half the post... lol!!!
But you could try creating an update.zip using the new AnyKernel Updater by Koush. This extracts the boot.img installed on the phone, recreates a new boot.img using the zImage provided and flashes it... take a look at the new update.zip in Pershoot's latest kernel release (http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=236). You can replace the zImage in the folder kernel with a zImage of you choice and also replace the wifi driver, resign the package... and flash it!!!

I don't think he wants to use a computer at all. Or do you? This method is longer than flashboot flash zimage.. unless you want to "save" the kernel for maybe later flashing...

Darkyy's 5.2 captivate ROM on Windows 7. Not sure what you mean by which storage, but every file is affected. I've been searching for a while with no results :-/

i decided to make a zip that includes the odin 1 click to stock, a cwm update zip that can be put on the sd card and installed by booting into recovery and selecting reinstall packages, the jl3 modem, xcals 2.2.1 kernel and the nexus s live wallpaper which can be installed by placing the LiveWallpaper.apk into system/app.
This is not one big whole flashable zip. it is a zip that includes what seems like the most common items i could think of in one folder so you dont have to search. i hope this is helpful for some.
Odin 1 click-open the odin file first, then put your phone in download mode and start the one click
CWM update.zip-copy to internal sd card, 3 button combo into recovery,reinstall packages(might take a few times)
jl3 modem- flash with CWM, boot cwm recovery, select install zip from sd card,choose zip and select the jl3update
xcals 2.2.1 kernel- flash with CWM, boot cwm recovery, select install zip from sd card,choose zip and select the kernel zip
LiveWallpaper Nexus s- move copy livewallpaper.apk to internal sd and move to system/app via root explorer or something of that sort
Again hope this helps somebody

Hey guys,
i wrote a small tutorial for all this people which have the galaxy s i9010 ( its like the captivate only for german market [armani] ) and want install Cyanogenmod with 100% WORKING GPS.
That was really the main problem, but i solved it with the help of this forum.
please extract all my files, i had to compress them but you cant use them as zip!
First of all go back to stock with your phone. You can download all files from http://www.sammobile.com/showthread.php?t=20 but pay attention:
If you dont use the following files, your phone wont work.
Donwload BOTH Firmwares and choose these 3 files for flashing with Odin:
-GT-I9010-CSC-MULTI-OXA902407.tar.md5 (444,851 mb) --> CSC
-I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar.md5 (279,501 mb) --> PDA
-MODEM_I9010XXJK9_REV_00_CL737172_SIGNED.tar.md5 (12,291 mb)--> PHONE
Now you are on stock and everything is working fine but you have Android 2.2
Download the latest Cyanogenmod for Samsung CAPTIVATE on http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
- extract all files into a new folder
- replace the existing modem.bin with the JK9-Armani-modem (same name Modem.bin)
- open with notepad and edit the file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
- change all entries “SGH-I896” to GT-I9010 [found this solution here] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15822109&postcount=67
- save the file and compress via 7-zip to a new zip-file ( mark all files and folders --> right-click --> 7-Zip --> add to XXX.zip
- put this new zip-file into your sdcard
- Now root your phone via "onecklickroot" ( enable USB-debug and dont forget restart after that) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
- replace this 3e_recovery file with the existing in System/Bin
- install Rom-manager and install clockworkmod (choose samsung captivate)
- reboot into recovery menu and press 2 times "reinstall packages", after that you start into the clockworkmod
- choose install zip from sd and choose your created zip-file
- copy stock gps files to your internal sd
- start root-explorer and copy all files (the folder gpsd to system/bin
the both files to system/etc)
-reboot phone
OPTIONALLY
you can install "gapps", if you need apps like google-market. You do it same like installing Cyanogenmod, reboot into recovery, install from sd etc.http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
you can use the really nice HTC-keyboard, just put the two keyboard files on your sd card, install them and choose settings/language and keyboard HTC_IME
to activate the keyboard go to sms and press a long time into the text field, now you can choose your input method
Have fun and enjoy your galaxy s I9010 with Android-Version 2.3.7
previously it was very difficult to flash I9010, this post was like real itinerary for me. ThankY!
Though even here i've made a mistake
At the 1st step while flashing with Odin DONT MARK Re-Partition as there is no Pit
No Problem , i know this phone is really difficult to flash back to stock or flash a rom with working GPS
I forgot to upload the PIT, if you need it take it from here.
Greetz from Germany
something seems to be going wrong..
it keeps telling it is updating but it doesnt proceed anymore.
Maybe this is because i cant go back to the original stock rom coz the link is broken (and i dont fully understand th explaination with the 3 files and what to do.
I have a stable andromeda 3 build running but my gps isnt working.
I already copied the gps files into their destination folders(and it asked me to replace so i did this properly).
Should my gps work when i did this or should i take additional steps to get it running?
Thanks in advance
seems like i only miss the 'phone' file , the rest i found via google on the samware site , only the phone file (and the pit , but that one is here already) i still dont have , anyone can help?
Hey yoshiwa,
you need to download all files you can get for samsung i9010 on the samfirmware site. After downloading and extracting you have 5 files, but you only need the three i posted. Its really recommend that you flash back to stock before flashing a new rom.

@MikeFRG
in your folder System/Bin exist a file named recovery. You must overwrite it via root-explorer with the new recovery-file (the modded 3e_recovery file )
@ erycx and szika87
you dont need any bootloaders, just download Odin put in the right fields the right files. You need phone, CSC, PDA, and the small pit file... and it works
Thanks man! It really does work for me. CM7 & CM9
Thank you. It work for my 9010 ARMANI. First I've installed th CM7 and used it for a month without any trouble. Now I used your manual to do the same with CM9. Really cool. It seems to be ok.

The whole instructions are in the OP, read it, understand it and follow it.
Thanks, now I am back on I9010 stock.
Can you confirm that all the file links that you posted are working?
I will try and download all files and follow the steps.
Now after going through I897 without phone modem, then bootloop, the back to Armani I can say that I got some experience with Odin and
flashing.
Anyhow do you have any idea why on ROOTED 2.2 ROM Manager will not flash the Clockwork even if it says that it is successfull?
Well now with stock 2.2 and factory reset and everything wipe the phone seems to be moving really fast compared to before I started the whole process.
What can you say about the Cyanoged, how is it working in terms of speed and lagfix?
Thanks!
Will get back.
PS: Now that I looked into the OP I saw that still a Clockwork in needed for installing Cyanogen, but I cannot install Clockwork so I cannot follow your instructions.
Is there any other way to install custom recovery except the ROM Manager application?

ROM Manager doesn't support the Captivate. You'll need to flash a custom kernel using Odin (speedmod for 2.2). The only thing I dunno is if it's compatible with the I9010.. But before doing so, you wanna do all the other steps with CM (changing the updater.script and such) and have it on the root of your internal.
After flashing speedmod, you'll be booting directly in recovery to flash the modded CM. Don't forget to grab the Gapps.
It would be really great if you:
1.put link to speedmod kernel and how to flash it on stock 2.2
2.put a link to the modified zip CM archive for I9010
The guide on how to do it.
For now I will wait for these files and a complete guide, I don't want to mess my I9010 again.
I got last CM and tried to modify updater.script, I replaced I896 with I9010, then I observed
I897 also. Should also I897 be replaced to I9010.
Wouldn't it be better if you could post all the modified files that needed to be put into the zip,
or the full zip for the Armani?
Thank you and waiting for the files and steps if you would be so generous.

I don't have a I9010 so Idk much about it. I'm only using the search function (as you should) to find the information I provided you with.
No, I don't have time to get the CM10 zip and change all the script but it's really easy to do. Just search all the SGH-I896 and SGH-I897 and replace them with SGH-I9010. Easy enough.
Speedmod kernel can be found using the search function in the Dev section.. Get the .tar version of it as you will be flashing it with Odin.
As for CM, the whole instructions are already in the OP, if you want a link, I'll just link the OP...
Friendly advice: Go read and understand what you're doing otherwise you'll end up with a bricked phone.
Ok so I will ask more questions until I get it right:
- replace this 3e_recovery file with the existing in System/Bin
- install Rom-manager and install clockworkmod (choose samsung captivate)
- reboot into recovery menu and press 2 times "reinstall packages", after that you start into the clockworkmod
Will these steps work if I dont install the speedmod kernel? Are these steps going to get me the clockwork recovery?
Can I pack the files also with Total Commander zip utility, or I have to use 7zip?
I downloaded cm-10.0.0-captivatemtd
I modified the updater script, I will post it here, can you check that this is ok:
Hello.
Back with a feedback about your instructions and a problem that I had:
I did the following steps:
1.I downloaded latest cm10 and decompressed to a folder
2.I copied the modem.bin that you provided and the updater.script that I posted earlier and then compressed back with 7zip, copied the zip to
my sdcard
3.I copied the recovery file on System/bin with Root_explorer
4.I installed ROM Manager and flashed Clockwork
5.I rebooted 2 times and did reinstall packages, then after that I got to the clockwork recovery
6.I selected install sdcard from zip and selected the image that I modified
The install then started but it halted to an error related to update.zip, it kept showing an option that said to select update.zip,
or some other options, something with adb and so on...
I kept on selecting the cm.zip but it kept on showing the error with update.zip, I selected update.zip but still it showed off the error.
From what I saw on the screen, the error was related to what it is checked in the updater.script, cm is looking for GT-i9010 but in
update.zip you have only captivatemd or something like that...
Are you sure there is no need of an modified update.zip archive on my sdcard too???
After this I got the battery out, put in on Download mode and flashed back to the Armani firmware, now it is back and running,
but I am so sad that I couldn't install CM10.
If you have any ideas why it didn't work please get back with some info, also can you check the updater.script that I posted or better that this,
can you post a modified working cm archive for Armani ???
Thanks a lot!
not available
Make sure you use Notepad++ to edit the updaterscript. If you have problems. Take an updater-script from a working rom and see if it flashes successfully.

Copy the entire META-INF folder from any rom and paste it in your rom's zip.
EG- If your rom is based on cm7, copy cm7's meta-inf
I copied META-INF from Adrenaline ROM
And it didn't work
assert failed:raw_boot_img
Could it be a kernel problem (boot.img)

Which boot.img are you using?
You need to use a boot.img from a custom kernel, stock boot.img wont work.
Mate Upload Your Rom and PM it to me and i'll look at what is wrong if u like.
Are you sure you never used any of the Dsixda kitchen tools?
Because they are not compatible with the Ace.
Plus, I hope you never converted it into update-script.
Is your rom CM7 based, or stock based?
Im using stock boot.img
I thought it would work... I don't like custom kernels like nims or CF-Root.
As soon as I get home I'll send you ROM.
It was originally update-script and changed with dsixda kitchen to updater-script.
Stock based

I thought it would work... I don't like custom kernels like nims or CF-Root.
As soon as I get home I'll send you ROM.
It was originally update-script and changed with dsixda kitchen to updater-script.
Stock based

So that's the problem.
Dsixda scripts are not compatible with the Ace.
did the stock rom u are basing this rom on have a Meta-Inf. or was it from a system.img

After creating zip usi.g dsixda kitchen. Extract zip and copy meta-inf folder from.other rom and replace. Stock kernel wont work. Extract the zip of any custom kernel, copy system folder and boot.img and paste in the root directory of extracted files of rom. Zip back everything. It will work.

So I just replace boot.img with a custom kernel and start building from that?
or after creating the .zip I also have to copy the META-INF from another ROM?

Just replace META-INF in your rom with META-INF from Blackhawk(if stock rom) and make necessary edits.Your rom will work perfectly.I personally haven't had any problem by using stock kernel.
POTATO!!!!

Ok. Read carefully.
After creating the zip via dsixda kitchen. Close it and dont touch it at all. The follow the steps from my last comment.
Buddy.
Just upload your meta-inf..
and i'll look into it.
Got this problem before , it's because the assert command in updater-scripts do not support boot.imgs larger than 4MB .
Just remove the assert() and replace the commands in the proper format (replace commas at the end of command with semi-colons) as well as grab a proper update-binary , your boot.img should work .

I'm working on a Samsung Galaxy GT-B5510, having the same problem trying to install custom ROMs and kernels. All failing with the same error you describe here. However, when I edit the script and rerun it, it does not throw an error but it looks like the kernel is not replaced. The only thing I didn't do was change the update-binary. What do you mean by a "proper" one?
Thanks.

The ones inside the custom ROMs where flashing a custom kernel has been a success in
I give up writing anymore signatures.
