I am using the newest cog Tom and would like to be able to use a kernel that enables oc/UV and the different lagfix options. Can anyone tell me how I flash just the kernel over the cog Tom?

i wasnt aware that unhelpful had created a 2.2 kernel?
so what you want to do is flash a 2.1 kernel into a 2.2 rom? are you sure you have read the dev forums?
If there it is a 2.2 kernel, just flash the stock 2.1 kernel with odin and flash the one you want over (sorry vague) but just search it
*edit*
Its on the cognition wiki

i know how to flash a kernel, but the OP stated they were on the latest COG which is 2.2. unhelpful's kernel is a 2.1 kernel. flashing a 2.1 kernel on a 2.2 rom will end in boot loops....it wont be pretty.
the only kernel that i know of at this time for us to use OC/UV on 2.2 is setiron's, and its a modified i9000 kernel.
rather than trying to get someone else that has already done the legwork on learning ODIN to respond, I think the OP needs to read...a lot
I have been reading alot and can't seem to find a direct description on how to do this.

probably because you havent provided enough information....
i will repeat.
if you try to install unhelpful 2.1 kernel on a 2.2 rom, it WILL NOT work.
so, are you trying to do this on a 2.1 rom or a 2.2 rom?
there are plenty of instructions out there, so you havent read enough.....there are really only 2 ways to flash a kernel. through Clockworkmod or through ODIN.....pick your poison.
If you flash cog 2.1.7 you will have unhelpfuls kernel version 1.7 but i prefer version 1.4.1 despite the lack of voodoo lag fix. It just worked better on my phone. Great battery life.
overclocking may not be enabled at first so read unhelpfuls first post first if you dont get it ask more questions.
If you flash a cog 2.2bx 2.3bx or 2.4.x rom then you are looking for setirons kernel. It has more advanced lagfix options but i get battery drain so the undervolt thing is useless. There is a way to fix it but its too much to explain.
All in all overclocking is mostly for bragging rights. On ecliar it was good using unhelpfuls kernel.
Setirons kernel may be very advanced but there are tradeoffs it being an i9000 port.

My brother has a new captivate but does not want to flash a new rom, crazy i know. But he does like the snappy way my phone runs. Can some one tell me and point me to if possible the newest lagfix that can be installed on stock froyo.

Having the lagfix will require a flash. the lag fix is built into the custom kernel.
Any way that the voodoo lagfix can be flashed to his stock kernel so that the only thing modded is the lagfix?

I believe you can flash kernel on stock but it will be through odin. You could always check AdamOutler's video about flashing UrsaMinor. Will also get you rid of the signature failed on 2.2

Hey I was wondering if you could flash a custom gingerbread rom over a custom froyo rom. Right now I am running phoenix ultimate rom and onix kernel 2.0.1 and uckb1 modem

Flash GB bootloaders first. And to warn you, ur gonna get a lot of crap for posting this question. There is a ton of info on this forum about this. Just an fyi. Definitely search and read before doing anything. If you do this wrong you will hard brick your phone!

Im trying to flash a overclockable kernel, and i know there are plenty, i just dont know if theyre compatible with this rom... Any help?

Any froyo 2.2 kernel will work. Stay away form 2.3 and cm7/miui kernels!
You'll have to go a few pages into the dev forum to find them.
A lot of conflicting info here and on rootzwiki.com. I just was asked by the play and trade guy to flash his captivate. All in trade for his pandoras battery and knowledge of its use. Basically fix my psp and I flash his phone. Ok I just want cm7 stable on here with a good oc kernel. Can I do like a mesmerize and odin flash a recovery and the. Flash cm7 and gapps reboot and do a kernel? What steps do I need to take. I see a lot about bricks in the captivate threads, are they easy to break? I'm told this o e is two years old. That would mean its probably ok with being able to get I to dl mode easy yeah?
Like I said alotta info floating around I just wanna do this right can a cm7 user break this down for me. It's an at&t phone if that matters.
Thanks in advance.

CM7 stable comes with an OC kernel. Just Odin in a kernel with CWM on it, then flash the CM7 zip.
Got a link to the right kernel to odin?

Flash the Glitch kernel as it OC's up to 1.7 ghz though I wouldn't recommend it.

I would say the Captivate is actually very difficult to brick, and going to CM7 has basically a 0% chance of a hard brick. As Aus_Azn points out, CM7 will overclock with the default kernal.
Install instructions (as long as you are coming from Eclair or Froyo) are here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide
CM7 discussion belongs here. Thread closed.
Want to root this phone for my bro. Anyone here know a one click. I was browsing here and it said it was for froyo not gingerbread. He's on stock gingerbread and I want root so I can install ROM manager. Thanks in advance.

Even if you follow the threads linked above, you arent going to get very far with ROM Manager. they havent supported the captivate since it was on 2.1 eclair I believe. Learn to use ODIN.

I know how to use Odin I just couldn't find a thread to Odin cwm

-_- OMG I tried to be nice. You don't ODIN CWM. You ODIN a kernel that contains CWM injected into the kernel itself. I recommend CORN kernel and KK4 custom or stock ROM

I recommend you do a lot more reading of the resources available throughout the Captivate section before flashing anything, with ODIN or without.
