[Q] How to port - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i9000 customized roms to work with captivate?
Can anyone provide detailed steps and guide me through?

Download rom you want to port. Download a re-oriented captivate kernel.
Unpack both, replace z image on rom with z image in kernel. Repack rom. Should be good to flash

I am looking to flash i9000 darkyy's 8.0 slim version.
Where is the z image in the rom? Do i need to somehow flash a new kernel?

Zimage= kernel changing the zimage is changing the kernel. In the rom package, in updates you find the zimage

Yeah as we were taking he just ported it (10minutes ago) 2days after the official version came up. I would like to learn how to manually port it myself. Thus, he doesn't port the 'no wipe' version nor the 'slim' version. and i am referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
I will try to do what you told me earlier tomorrow. Thanks bud, I will see if that works or not. But can't you just flash the i9000 rom then flash the xcalibur's reorien?

That should work. Flash rom through clockwork. Then once done flash kernel without booting. I believe that should do it

[Q] How to extract/make flashable odin rom

Hi guys, i have looked but cant find.
what i want do try and achieve is to pull the rom from my ace with all installed apps/settings that i have installed.
basicly i have AOSP Beta 1 over XWKS2 stock,
launcherpro
cyanogenmod setings
cm7.x gps patch
i have a backup made via cwm5 but this is just a retore folder.
i would like to create a fully flashable rom of my current rom/settings/patches.that can be used via Odin.
the purpose of this is so i can have my rom backed up and flashable, just like a stock rom, and so i can try other roms without having to flash back to stock then flash AOSP and then flash patches and cyanogenmod setting, wich is a bit of a nightmare "trying new roms on daily basis and having to flash back due to bugs or poor performance"
if someone can help me create a flashable backup in a noob friendly way i would be very greatfull.
i love my ace as it is at the moment, its perfect for me. it would just be nice if i could flash back to my custom rom in 1 flash rather than many + having to add all patches after,
this would be amazing if anyone can help.
Yes I'm still interesting to do that also from my S5830i
Odin is only for stock roms. You cant flash custom roms using Odin.

You don't seem to be rooted and seem to be on a LA4 rom which is not directly rootable.
Follow this guide step by step to downgrade first and then root your rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Once you have root and CWM installed you can flash different roms.
Yeah you can flash the ICS repack via Mobile Odin Pro
Yeah before flashing a ICS rom you are advised to flash the ICS repack first.
You can flash ICS repack from the CF kernel or any other custom kernel but not with the stock kernel.
If you need to go to gingerbread you can download the GB rom and flash it in recovery. (before doing so just make sure of the kernel first...in some ICS roms the default kernel (recovery too) will not allow zips to be flashed...so you need to flash a different kernel (recovery too) before flashing a GB rom )
thank you so much.
as i stated this phone was traded to me
i do believe it is rooted tho...one way im sure of this is just i have SU access to everything also i have the CWM app installed on the phone. in the app it says the kernel is CF-ROOT 5.0
idk which kernel that is or if i have to change it to do anything else?
If you need to go to gingerbread you can download the GB rom and flash it in recovery. (before doing so just make sure of the kernel first...in some ICS roms the default kernel (recovery too) will not allow zips to be flashed...so you need to flash a different kernel (recovery too) before flashing a GB rom )
on this just so i know!
once i use the repack i can still flash GB roms without having to do some other type of repack? and are all CF root kernels flashable to any rom?
Well then you are good to go. You can choose the rom you want to go for. Read the instructions there (in the thread of that rom).....they will advise you to flash the ICS repack first so do that and flash their rom after wiping and clearing caches and dalvik.
Have a great roming day (lol i just made that up)
Cheers!! Hit thanks if it helped

Yeh you can use any GB roms. No repack of any other kind is required to revert to GB.
Just some change of kernels.
Thank you thank you and hit button couple times for you!!
Last question!!!

Here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1349
Just make sure you are choosing the correct rom thread. Read carefully some roms will say its ICS themed...so those are still GB roms with ICS theme-ing over them.

th rom ur talking abt is tw based? vl it hv premium suite apps?
What I recommend, based on what I did:
- Download the leaked German official ROM (about 600-700Mb), .tar.md5 file and put into your phone's sd-card.
- Install Mobile Odin Pro from Play Store (need to pay. there's free version too, but I suggest you pay for Pro, safer).
- In M. Odin, open the .tar.md5 file, and press flash. (if you don't mind wiping, best to also check the wipe options).
I didn't wipe, and then it couldn't boot.
So I booted into recovery, and wiped data/factory reset and cache, then it booted fine.
Still had root.
Then I installed CF-Kernel. Go to the Dev thread and scroll down till you see the GT...LPY version and download that zip. Unzip to take out the .tar file, copy to sd-card.
Use Mobile Odin to open it, and then flash. It will flash the kernel, and then you will have ClockworkMod recovery so that you can backup/restore ROMs again.
(Note: You can actually do the above in one single step, but opening the CF kernel file after you open the ICS file, so that everything else points to the ICS file except the kernel points to CF Kernel.)
Hit the THANKS button if this helps any of you!

Really? I thought PC Odin will completely overwrite everything using the stock image.

Getting back to 2.3 from ICS

Hey, I wanna to get back to 2.3 from MiniCM9 (nAa) and I don't know If I should first change kernel to standard, or first ROM to 2.3. Can somebody tell me?

First change rom to 2.3 then flash the appropriate kernel.
I don't think it really makes a difference, just that one is slightly less risky than the other.

Kernel then rom, if it's rom 1st then you MIGHT have to reflash the rom anyway

No need for reflash of rom in any circumstances... point is entering flash mode to flash correct kernel is much more doable and likelier to succeed than entering a kernel embedded recovery to flash a rom.
Hence rom first, then kernel.

Hmm... Who to trust?
I'm curently on nAa ICS kernel and his MiniCM9, and want to get back to Achotjan Semc Debrand Engine 2.3 with nAa 11 kernel
From my experience there is no difference at all because the kernel you wanna flash has a recovery and gives you the option to flash your rom. For example when I wanted to revert back to stock without using seus I flashed the rom first and then the kernel because if I did otherwise my device would be softbricked. I hope I made my self clear. The choice is up to you. But I like flashing the kernel first;-)
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Ok, so I tried now with kernel first -> that doesn't work, now I'm going to check with rom first
you cant build a house without foundation! flashing the kernel first is only proper way to do this!
1.put 2.3 Rom in SD
2.flash a kernel
3.on 1st boot(at kernel logo)push back button rapidly to enter cwm
4.make a full wipe and install 2.3 rom
5.done

[Q] What do I flash first, kernel or rom?

The question is really in the title, what do I flash first when upgrading from darky froyo to ICS, the kernel or the rom?
Thanks!

Follow instructions for the particular ROM you want to flash
They usually don't mention the kernel, only the rom :/

The kernel is pretty much always included in the.zip, if you want to change from the ROM kernel to another, then usually just a case of using a cleaning script, or manually clearing cache/dalvik and a couple of others (init.d & Ns tools usually) and flash away
upgrade 2.2 to ics
You have to burn GB stock-rom 2.3 with odin first !!!
after you finish you need gb kernel like semaphore 1.8 also burn with odin (give the stock root).
and finnely flash the ics rom you wont (with the dev Specific rom Guidelines)

Afaik you don't need gb bootloader to flash to ics, (see slim website) however it is a good idea to in case you want to revert to gb, but in that case it is easier just to flash the boot loader....see nitr8s ezboot thread
Hi, I know it's been a really long time of the thread but what I know ALWAYS FLASH THE ROM FIRST AND THEN THE KERNEL
