Just purchased a captivate with custom rom
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: I897UCJI6
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee sep-11 #1
Build number: FROYO.UCJI6
Is this version solid? Seller say's he has had no problems with current set up.
he can load cognition 3.04, however I will have to wait several days.
This is my first venture with this type of phone that will be used for work continuously, i just need it to work smoothly, if current rom is sufficient no worries then.
Thanks for input.
That is the original Froyo leak and buggy as hell. You are better to get one of the more recent custom roms. Cognition is the closest Froyo for our Captivates as it's based on the Rogers release. Just flashed this, Cognition 3.04, today and I'm loving it!
Use it and see if your like it.

I have done reading a lot of post recently.
I brick'ed my cappy once, I reflash the stock kernel, and it came back alive.
After that, I managed flashing my I897 into Foyo 2.2 and with Cog 2.4.1 Rom.
So far so good.
I am still very afraid of brick my cappy again.
So, I decided post question here, just to clear my mind.
If I wanna flash it into an I9000 Rom from Cog 2.4.1 Rom
What are the right steps ??
My current system config is listed here
Firmware 2.2
Baseband Version - I897 UCJJ4
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9
Build Number - Cognition. v2.4.1
The best thing you can do is decide which i9000 Rom you want to flash to and read the OP of that thread for exactly how to flash. It is gonna require both odin and clockwork though. Which Rom are you wanting to go to?

From your opinion, which I9000 Rom is most popular ?? (This might be the best one i think)
Is it ganna be better than Cog's I897 rom ??
Really I prefer to stick with cognition but there is no denying that setirons kernel is the best one going right now but it doesn't play well with cognition. If I was going to go i9000 I would use mikeymikes conversion of docs Rom...it looks really nice and everyone in that thread loves it.
i finally got rid of my HTC HD2 w/ android 2.2 (Desire HD ROM) on it. I now have a samsung captivate with Froyo 2.2 (Cognition v2.4 build) on it but there is no android market on it. Ive tried several different things to get the market installed on my phone such as vending.apk and a few other files but none of them work. if some can help me out with this issue it greatly appreciated.
Software info:
Firware version- 2.2
Baseband version- i897ucjj4
kernel version- 2.6.32.9
Build number- cognition v2.4

I HATE the thanks button being right beside the quote button.
Anyways, the cognition ROM that you are running is fairly old. The newest version is upto 2.3 beta 7. Just flash another ROM and you'll be fine.
Since you are new to using captivate, I recommend using this.

After going back to JF6 stock 2.1, you have two options. Root using one-click method, download ROM manager and flash clockwork recovery
OR
get into recovery with the three button combo and "reinstall packages" using update.zip I provide you. (CWM)
Once you have CWM, just flash one of the ROMs that you would like to use. Personally, I recommend Cognition or Axura at first. You should get your market back.
thanks bro!!!! I got everything up and running again. the update.zip file is not the correct file. i had to download a different one. other than that, the latest version of cognition is awesome!!!

what would be the best kernal and modem combo for this rom i really want good battery life I just got my captivate 6 days ago and out of 3 roms i like this one just want to know the best choices.
Speedmod k12t kernel and KP1 modem.
Take a look at my signature, results speak!!
Nothing against what any particular person will state or tell you to use, not all combination's will necessarily have the same effect from phone to phone. This is really the same as which ROM is the best because what works well on phone "A" might not work the same as phone "B". Just try different combos to find what your phone likes because these phones are very finicky.
i've been reading and this is what i come up with looking at the rom i flashed this is what is says.
model #sgh-i897
firmware 2.2
baseband i9000ugjk3
kernal version 2.6.32.9
build # gingerr5
off this info which kernal would i flash the one for captvate or the one for galaxy s i9000.i just dont want to do something stupid sorry for the questions.
You would flash an sgh-i897 kernel.
Here's a link to hardcore's kernel, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880.
you can use sgs kernel flasher to install it.
The link is at the bottom of the original post in the attached files box
not to ask more ? but is that because my phone is still based on captivate but with just a base rom.and what is really a base rom 2.2 mod to work on captivate?
Yes, the captivate sgh-i897 doesn't have 2.2 froyo yet, because it hasn't been released yet, but developers used the leaked version of froyo to base their roms off of. An i9000 rom is actually a rom from an i9000 galaxy s phone that was adapted for the captivate. But basically, all you have to worry about is whether or not the numbers match up.
i peeked at a few of the 2.3.4 ROMs and it seems that they're all heavily themed or modded.
is there one that is close to stock with only a few tasteful mods?
thanks
2.3.4-For Captivate, no. For the i9000, there is JVP& JVQ. You have to use a reoriented kernel with the I9000 roms.
2.3.3-For Captivate, kinda. UCKF1 is a leak, but a very stable one. Cognition 5 is built off the kf1. Since kf1 is a leak, it can't really be called official stock.
thanks. looks like i'm gonna grab a stock JVQ ROM. any recommendations for a kernel that would work best with that?
PS. i was looking at the stock i9000 roms on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
I would go with the Talon kernel. It has a lot if features, plus you can choose from 4 different clock speeds (1000, 1200,1300& 1400).
Asfor downloading firmware, I would go to www.samfirmware.com. They have a large selection, but you will have to register (free) to dl anything.

Try out the latest Talon kernel. Works great with the JVQ ROM I have.
so the stock samfirmware ROMs are preferred to the deodexed ones found here on XDA?
ty!
I prefer to dl from samfirm if I can, buy I think you would be ok using either.
gave jvq with talon a shot. got the home key working (except haptic - trying to fix that resulted in boot loop). put aosp theme on it. looked amazing, however i found that set up a bit sluggish than i'm used to, and also the the touchscreen seemed a bit insensitive.
so running 2.3.3 kf1 now. like it so far...
Apex 8.2, JVQ, 2.3.4 ...... It look like Galaxy S2 stock... and I recommend you DarkCore Kernel... Talon is so laggy for me!
Hey guys, just started flashing roms etc. yesterday, and ended up being completely amazed at how versatile these phones can actually be!
My phone is a GT-I9000M on Bell's network in Canada.
I am currently running Darky's ROM 10.2 on Ficetos Deodexed JVH for the I9000
PDA: I9000XWJVH
PHONE: I9000UGKC1
CSC: I9000XEEJV3
I want to try out Cyanogenmod7, and am curious as to whether I can simply install the update.zip package on my Ficeto JVH? Or do I need to re-flash back to a stock version of 2.2 before installing CM7?
Thanks for all the help!
PS. Not quite clear on which of which is a kernal, rom, etc. so bear with my lack of proper classification.

HOLY CRAP, Thank you, I could not find a definitive guide for CM7 on a SGS for the life of me. after googling, searching here, the wiki, and the CM7 site, nothing.
Thank you so much!
