I want to know the architecture of the files in the phone so i can better understand what im doing so i dont mess up. If someone can give me a step my step of clockwork mod i would greatly appreciate it...specifically:
(1) is there a way i can change / upgrade the clockwork recovery version of my phone... if so how? (check note on bottom)
(2) whats the most recent version if i decide to do so (where can i find it)?
**NOTE**: I've flashed different clockwork mod versions via Rom Manager, but when i hit boot into recovery off my current ROM, it always goes to the same version. (v2.5.1.0 Speedmod ULFK)

the version you are booting into is built into the kernel you are running. you cant update it unless you use a different kernel. the voodoo kernels run v2.5.1.3 usually

not true just like the OP said you can flash different versions through rom manager for kernels that dont have it built in. (stock kernels)
To OP if its built into the kernel you cant change it, see above.
i forget where but there is a website from the creators and they have every version available for every phone in a long list.

im sorry, but this is incorrect. you can flash a million times with rom manager, but if its built into the kernel "WHICH HIS IS" then it doesnt matter....you arent updating it unless the kernel updates it.

I'm currently running:
Model Number: SGH-I897
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000UGJK4
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #54
Build number: FireFly 2.2
this may seem like a novice question, im still trying to understand everything about my new phone;
when flashing a new ROM, through clockwork, does that include a kernel in the rom package?
in other words, if Rom ABC is running kernel #abc and i flash Rom XYZ, will the kernel change? how do i change the kernel without changing the rom?
All ROMs as far as I know include a compatible kernel and modem. Inside the ROM zip you'll find 4 folders plus the META-INF. The updates folder has the ROM (zImage) and modem.bin, which are flashed to the write-only memory. The other 3 are copied in the same structure as the zip file after fomatting (sdcard is copied without formatting).
This is probably in Q&A, but anyway. To flash only a kernel or modem, get the CWM zip of it, put it in sdcard, reboot into recovery, select zip and go. Make sure kernel and modem are based on the same hardware (i897, i9000, etc.).
And last but not least read, read, and read more. This is just info I've read many times here.
where can i check my modem version? is it the same as "baseband version"

Pardon me if I've placed this question in the wrong section. I'm new to the Android scene and very interested in Pimping my Captivate. I rooted my phone with Z4. I've installed ROM Manager Pro. Ive downloaded the SpeedMOD K13(CVM version) to my SD card. Now when I run ROM Manager and select "Install from SD card", I follow the prompts and backup but when it reboots into recovery mode I can't tell if the SpeedMOD actually loaded or not. I don't seem to get any errors according to the yellow syntax on the lower half of my screen but I guess I'm expecting to see a little more activity. When I check my Kernal version in the Setting section, I don't see any change. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
Speedmode its a kernel, not a rom. Not sure if you know this. I don't think you can install it over stock, but you know it is installed if when you go into recovery you have ulk options.
If you are froyo stock ignore previous statement.
Recovery, phone off, volume up and down and power, at&t let go
This is what I get in yellow text when I try to install SpeedMod kernal. No visible errors but no definative text telling me it loaded. At the end, it simply tells me to press the power button to reboot.

What are you running
installing kernal only
When installing the speedmod kernal by itself in the past, I've followed the instructions on the developer's website which you can find a link to in the first post of the folllowing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880
(sorry I am not allowed to post outside links yet)
There was one time when the latest update wasn't working so I tried the previous release and it worked! Currently I'm running the Supernova 2.3 ROM which installed the most current speedmod kernal at the time of writing this so manual installation wasn't necessary.
Give the previous release a shot if the manual installation doesn't work just to make sure it's not the same problem I had in the past.

Does this mean I wasted my money on ROM Manager Pro? Is this the method I need to use for any future Kernal flashes.
Kernel flashes yes
Don't feel bad I paid for rom manager pro. I don't even have it installed on my phone anymore
If you want to apply lag fix power off
Power and vol up and down
At&t let go
Advanced ulk options
Lag fix
Enable
back
Reboot phone
Select yes
Done
Also suggested apply all tweaks with R next to it
Yeah I dont use it either. I just have the update zip saved to external memory and copy it over as I need it.
Okay. I followed your instructions for lag fix and it's doing it's thing. One more question. You mentioned tweaks. I've heard about them but don't know how or where to access it.
I'm surprised not to see a topic on this in the SGT Bible. I've just flashed Overcome ROM, and I see a lot of recommendations for pairing this with koxudaxi kernel.
What's the procedure for keeping my current system and changing kernels? Do I just drop the koxudaxi kernel zip in my internal SD root and then flash that zip from CWM, or are there any gotchas I need to watch out for?

Easy to flash another kernel and its more easy to brick your tab, you should know what you're flashing and see if it can work with your system or no
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
I agree 100 percent with k0sh on this. Each kernel(or ROM) usually come with an instruction on how to install and also some precautions. These should be followed to the letter.
As for the bible-I also agree that it should be updated.

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any instructions in the koxudaxi kernel thread on how to flash it. So what's the safe way to apply something like this?
Edit: Okay, I just went ahead and did it, and for anyone following along, yes, you just choose flash from zip in Clockworkmod.
He gives two formats of the kernal. The .tar file is for heimdal or odin. The .zip is for flashing with CWM.
I have two tabs. T-mobile overcome 2.0 koxu kernal. At&t with stock gb. Chainfire kernal for root and CWM, koxu kernal for tweaks.
I have a Bell SGS, GT-I9000m. I'm considering installing hardcore kernel only, i.e. no custom ROM. If later I want to revert to the stock kernel, how would I do that?
Thanks for your help.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
I'm not quite sure if it is possible with the stock-kernel but if you can make a full backup (like with CWM) you could restore it later. But why do you want to get back to stock-kernel?
If the backup-possibility does not work you have to find the stock-kernel for downloading and flash it via Odin or you have to flash the whole stock-ROM with Odin.
Thanks for your answer. I can't make a Nandroid backup while I'm on stock (because I can't install CWM recovery because I'm on 3e stock recovery, not 2e)
I'm not sure why I would want to go back to stock... Maybe something goes terribly wrong? I guess I just wanted to know if it was possible.
Last question: when you say I would have to find the stock kernel, is that just Google, or are there sites/repositories out there for this sort of thing?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
I should add, the site/repo question is for kernels and stock ROMs...

Possible scenario
Alright, thanks for your help. I guess the one scenario that is bothering me is as follows:
1) Bell - FINALLY - releases their official Gingerbread update.
2) I've installed Hardcore kernel, which according to - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 - "works on all 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMs".
3) Would I be able to install the Bell Gingerbread update with Hardcore kernel?
This is why I keep asking how I would revert from Hardcore because I obviously don't want to lock myself out of Bell updates forever.
It doesn't matter which kernel you are using when you are flashing with Odin. And Bell releases the updates later than Samsung, so you'd have the advantage of getting updates earlier with a 'free' firmware.
One solution to flash back the stock kernel is to extract the zImage (the kernel) from the stock rom and flash that with Odin or Heimdall.
But as far as I know having a custom kernel would not cause problems with installing a stock upgrade.
Done
I've installed Hardcore's kernel. Everything seems to be working fine, phone started up and picked up service.
I booted into recovery, enabled lagfix, turned on all of the recommended tweaks and then ran the Quadrant Standard. Things seem a bit faster, so I guess it's all good.
Next step, Darky's 10.1.
Thanks for your help, everyone.
One more question:
I did a Nandroid backup of everything (so data, dbdata, cache AND system). The restore option says "Be careful!". What's up with that? I mean, what's the caveat?
Thanks.
I've already made some NANDROID-backups, but never seen 'Be careful!'.
If the backup was succesful I wouldn't care about that.
*sigh*, I hate to keep adding questions on to this thread, but I must.
After installing the hardcore kernel and enabling tweaks and lagfix, I'm running into exactly this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851970
My phone was extremely hot for a while, then I got a warning indicating that my internal phone storage was running low, etc.
Eventually, I found this file (/data/local/tsprsp) to be the culprit. I deleted it and rebooted and now my phone is fine. However, vibration just doesn't work at all!
Any ideas? Has anyone else run into this problem?
I was told that if you do a 'full' backup, in some cases restoration will fail with some error. But it depends on the version of the ROM you are using.
That is the reason why it is recommended to backup only data and if you want to restore, then first reflash your rom, then restore the data.
Thanks, zsori. That explains the "Be careful!".

you will have to flash back a stock rom via odin if anything wrong happen during the flashing of custom roms, although chances are low if you follow the instructions carefully.

Which Gingerbread?
So I'm continuing my quest to learn more about all of this custom ROM flashing stuff. And I wanted to get gingerbread on my phone... So I figured I'd just get an image from samfirmware.com and flash it. But then, I went here (because I was also interested in Darky's 10.1 so I was reading their guide): http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-darkyrom-gingerbread-jvh-noob-friendly.3080/
It says that flashing "Ficeto_JVH_I9000_Odin" will get me a stock Gingerbread. My question: what's the difference between flashing an image from samfirmware.com or flashing "Ficeto_JVH_I9000_Odin"? How do I know which to pick?
In all my browsing/reading, I realize that there are 3 "separate" parts: kernel, modem and then the "ROM". Ideally, I want to keep my modem as is... What does that correspond to in Odin? I've tried to find what "PIT", "PDA", "PHONE" and "CSC" represent in Odin, but I'm not sure I got it right. PIT = Kernel? PHONE = modem?
And finally, how do I know if a particular kernel is compatible with a particular ROM?
Sorry, I know there are lots of questions there. But please help clearing up a n00b's confusion. Thanks.

you got it wrong.
PIT is for mapping the partitioning of the phone. In most cases you should only use 512 pit file. and only use it when you want to wipe the phone.
the three parts is "pda" (which is the rom), "phone" (which is the modem), and "csc" (which is the carrier customization and apns)
the kernel is in the part of pda (the rom)
check the thread in xda of the kernel to see if its a gingerbread kernel or froyo kernel.
hope this clear things up
Yes, that helps. That's really good to know. So now, in Darky's guide to flashing Flash Ficeto_JVH_Odin, I see that only PIT and PDA are specified. This is reassuring, knowing that the modem and carrier stuff isn't touched.
Many thanks.
There are firmwares with three parts (Phone, PDA, CSC, including bootloader) and with only one part (PDA, no bootloader(?)). The one-part-FW is just an 'update', the one with three parts an 'upgrade'.
Hi guys, I'm new here and have been scouring the forums on how to do things but I keep getting caught with uncertainties.
I have an i896 Samsung Galaxy S Captivate with a Rogers 2.3.3 Gingerbread installed.
I have rooted it with no issues and its also unlocked.
What I want to do:
1. CyanogenMod 7
2. Overclock the CPU
But what I don't know is...
1. Since i'm running a Rogers ROM, do I have to flash to an AT&T ROM then to any custom ROM?
2. I read the instructions on how to update to the CM7 ROM but every instruction I read says I must have Froyo/Eclair to goto CM7. So do I downgrade and if so, how can I do that? I tried and what ends up happening is the phone's reception bars have an X and data doesn't work either. In the phone About properties, states that the baseband is "unknown". I suspect I need something more than a stock Rogers ROM without bootloaders. I couldn't find a 2.1 or 2.2 stock Rogers ROM with bootloders.
3. For overclocking, I installed Voltage Control and Control Freak and neither let me overclock, the max CPU is 1000Mhz. I assume I need a custom Kernal to do this but haven't been able to find how to do this during the CM7 upgrade.
I just need someone to point me in the right direction on what order to do all this and whether me having a Rogers stock 2.3.3 ROM causes an issue. I've done a lot of reading on these forums so its not like I just signed up and wanted to know the easy way out. I simply want the proper way to do things so I don't repeat the same mistakes many people may have done in the past.
I have used Odin, Heimdall, Odin One Click, Super One Click for rooting.
Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction and help me achieve these goals!
You dont need to go back to Froyo, as GB bootloader is compatible. but you need CWM to flash CM7. you can use Rom Manager app to flash the CWM.
Just download CM7 zip file, wipe data, system and cache and install it using CWM. It comes with custom kernel so you can overclock it using those apps you mentioned. You can also flash Glitch kernel....
See that's what i've been trying to do but when it comes to installing the nightly rom in zip format, it tells me the signature failed.
Do I need to buy the premium version of rom manager or can I get away with the free version? I don't want to use my credit card, i rather wait until paypal is implemented with android market.
This is so frustrating...

Ya that's what I don't know either...I read tons of threads where people with i896 Rogers roms tried to flash with AT&T based roms or i897 roms and either bricked their phones or made a mess that took much more to get them back to stock...problem is the people that have i896 roms here I can't contact until I hit 10 posts...so I'm here stuck until then...
Just flash a custom I897 kernel with cwm, once complete, yank battery, replace and button combo boot into recovery and flash the ROM. Whichever kernel you choose doesn't really matter as zip will flash a compatible kernel, the I896 and I897 are identical other than cosmetic branding.
I was on stock rogers 2.3.3.
Installed Sumari kernel. Booted into the sumari recovery, installed CM7 zip, the phone rebooted into cwm recovery, and continued installing.
It worked pretty smoothly.
okay so i flashed my phone with a stock 2.3.5 rom with CWM, but how do I update to CM7? When i boot into recovery the only option I have is reinstall package. Do i rename the CM7 zip file to update.zip and that should work? I'm so lost...
In CWM recovery you need to choose install zip from sdcard, make sure you are in fact in cwm recovery
Before you do that....you need to flash a kernel with Odin that has cwm in it...
Woo! that worked like a charm haha yea baby yea!! Thank you soo much!! i was so scared to flash my cappy going from Rogers to AT&T that it would brick the phone. Got CM7 with Glitch Kernel and overclocked to 1.4 sawweeeeet!!
Now time to fiddle around and customize!
Thanks everyone!!
i'm running android 2.3.3(flashed with odin) right now...i tried to install cyanogenmod using a guide form the cyanogen wiki for captivate..!
but a black screen comes up when i try to boot it in clockworkmod..!!i had to reflash android 2.3.3 all over again..!!!(man..did i get a scare o wat..!!!)
the official wiki says that itz meant for android 2.2
is there any way to install it on my captivate running android 2.3.3
or better yet can we install it without clockwork..????
CM7 will flash just fine over 2.3.3. I don't know if there is a way to do it with Odin, but you shouldn't have to. I have flashed it using that wiki numerous times over both stock and 2.3.x and, with the exception of a few boot loops, it has always ultimately worked.
If you are coming from 2.3.3, you will need a kernel with CWM that will work with your ROM. Alternatively, you can downgrade to 2.2 and follow the directions in the wiki.
What ROM are you coming from?
The kernel with cwm in it does not matter if it's compatible with the firmware he's about to flash over, the only requirement is that it has cwm.
Not going to be booting into the os after that kernel flash anyway.
Just flash the kernel with Odin and then yank the battery, button combo into recovery, and follow the rest is the directions...
Btw for future reference, please post ROM specific questions in their respective rom's Q&A sticky.

You don't really have to flash back to stock unless you want to (it won't hurt anything, just make sure you flash back with a bootloader-free package) and I would stay away from the ROM Manager installation method.
thanks a bunch..!!it finally worked...
