[Q] What is the best & easy way to downgrade to e2 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

on bell gt-i9000m with JL2 & 2.2 with E3.
i want to flash an 2.2.1 rom.
thanks

Easiest way is by flashing a kernel that already supports CWM with Odin a.k.a. something along the lines of the speedmod kernel.
I take it CWM is the reason you want 2e in the first place tho.

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.

[Q] Easiest way to CWM v3 -> v5

Hello everyone,
I had a quick search but couldn't find the answer so I do appologise if I missed it.
My current S has CWM v3 on it and I would like to upgrade it to v5.
What is the best way to do this? Thank you.
Flash a kernel with the CWM you want.
I see so it is that easy
Any urls to exactly which one I need and the way to do it - Really do not want to mess this phone up Thank you for your reply.
Well, assuming you are on Cyanogenmod 7.2, a gingerbread kernel would do.
[KERNEL] Semaphore 2.7.4 (CF-Root + Voodoo Snd v10 + OC/UV + BLN)
It comes with CWM v5.0.2.7
I am on stockginger bread rooted with cmw v3. Just got the phone. Does the fact I am not on CM 7.2 mean I need a different methoe? Thank you.

Is your phone a Galaxy Ace (s5850) or a Galaxy S (i9000)?
This is important because I've been giving you a link for i9000.
i9000 I still need to update my signature sorry

Just flash another kernel using odin. Devil is a good one to use. All the latest ones use cwm 5 but it doesn't reallty do anything the older one doesn't. I would stick to chainfire on Stock rom mate.
You have an i9000 with stock gingerbread.
Which version of GB?
Since you are on stock you'll be using ODIN to flash the kernel. Are you familiar with ODIN?
yes I have already gone this but the kernal was cwm v3 I need to find one with v5. And thank you for your replies and help
Sent from my M1001 using XDA
Well then, if you've flashed a kernel via ODIN before, then grab the kernel as suggested and flash it.
Check if CF-Root has cwm 5, I think it only goes to v3.

...But.. Do we have CWM if we flashed the Stock 4.0.4 only??
And if NOT, can you link us on a 'how to' apply CWM for stock 4.0.4 with stock kernel?
Thanks again!

After that use mobileodin from goggle market to flash speemod in tar files. This will not produce binary count or yellow triagle.
Stock LRG with kimi's 15 toogle systemui.apk on the speedmod 3.9 kernel.
ok... we got speedmod and note core..
only 2??
list your kernel!!!
thanks
Im sticking to 4.0.4 stock kernel since I benchmark with antutu got 6600 point compared 5385 with 4.0.3 speedmode 3-7, battery life can reach a day plus

Goku safe kernel
Cf root 5.6 safe stock kernel
Franco safe kernel, i dont know if its been already deleted in the forum, last time i read the moderator are going to delete it.
AOKP Milestone 6. With CM9 kernel.. FTW!!
Criskelo v9 franco kernel
Criskelo v9 with franco kernel, but i think i will change to speedmod in 9.1.
Recommendable are cf-root (attention, brick bug), gl_notecore and the latest speedmod (both safe). My favourite would be goku but unfortunately funky81 hasn't adapted it yet to 4.0.4, bluetooth does not work.

[Q] Need help rooting Samsung Captivate running GB

Hi,
I need help rooting my Samsung Captivate running Gingerbread 2.3.3 I896UXKH2

Now I tried to root it again using SuperOneClick 2.3.3, but it doesn't seems to be working.
Any ideas?
Thank you

You could flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 for both root and cwm
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Hey martin.y,
If u r just wanting to flash a Developer's Rom in the end...then just use TRussello's guide in the Q & A Forum. It is a stickied thread. Or simply do as BWolf56 stated above---Flash the KK4 Corn Kernel (.tar file version) through Odin3 v1.85 or similar (the kernel.tar goes in the PDA slot). Of course u should know that u r flashing that kernel from Download mode. Takes less than a couple minutes for the whole process. Reboot into the CWM Recovery that is included in the Corn Kernel and select to install ur Rom of choice that u should already have copied onto ur phone's internal sdcard. And prest-o change-o ! New Rom.
Or as BWolf56 stated above also, u can simply get Root through the CWM advanced menu options of the Corn Kernel. :good:
