Does anyone know if it is possible to use this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
With the 2.1 reorient kernel?
Just put the zImage file inside the .zip.
V6 should be OK.
Word of advice, the new JPA on the i9000 has a new modem (JPP).
I will not port v7 over until the modem is confirmed to be working on the captivate. I don't have all the resources available to me to test the modem.

its working. im using it now.
hijack thread for my own "if possible"...
there is alot of good developments going on over in the i9000 forums and while roms are one thing alot of these rely on a completly different kernel to be flashed. im pretty sure we cant just flash the reorinent kernel ontop of these and expect it to work and i noticed the super optimized kernel in the i9000 is JUST the zimage so thats just not going to work. is there some crazy ass way to integrate our reorient kernel into some of these optimizations? seeing all this good stuff pass me by is driving my ocfd nuts

ive seen a lot of those optimizations too and your right you cant just flash the reorient kernel over an i9000 rom and expect things to work exactly like intended for that rom because that roms kernel will be completely wiped when you flash the reorient kernel. the reorient kernel does generally fix all the major problems youd have if you didnt flash it, but then you lose the things that that kernel was built to do. i think the biggest reason a lot of these havent been implemented yet is because there is no source code for our 2.2 kernel yet.

I am surprised this still gets asked??
The re-orient kernal from xcal is exactly there for that reason. It makes it possible so that we ATT captivate users can take advantage of the European i9000 roms from the SGS i9000 forums.
These are the requirements for the i9000 cooked roms to work (this is not the only way to do it but it is the easiest)
1) the i9000 rom needs to be in ZIP format so it can be applied via clockwork recovery (most of them are: Doc/Kalpik, Darky, Tamatuya)
2) your current rom/recovery needs to support 2e recovery and have the latest clockwork recovery installed
3) the re-orient kernal needs to be applied right after the i9000 rom is applied, meaning before you reboot the phone. Otherwise you loose the power button select key in recovery.
The latest version (v7) from Doc has caused FC's on the keyboard, so it is unusable for now. The modem as pointed out above may also not be compatible, so I would stay away from v7 and stick with v6 for now.

I'm sucessfully using JPP with V7. Using kernal 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #38. Using a lagfix called No RFS advanced ext 4. Using Vlingo keyboard from Samsung. I've been able to correct force closed apps by clearing their data caches. The only real problem I have encountered is the same one I have had with all the I9000 rom's I have tried to date-no audio on videos. Able to install zip's, lagfix and other add ons through ClockworkMod recovery.
Hi there,
I've got a quick question about the compatibility of JVB bootloaders, with Froyo roms.
I've flashed stock JVB+bootloaders, flashed Chainfire's kernel, then installed Faryaab's F1 rom.
However, i'm considering flashing back to Darky's JS8 rom.
Which steps do i need to take?
Something like the following, perhaps:
First put Darky's rom on my internal SD card
Flash Hardcore's Froyo kernel through ODIN
Don't let the phone reboot, pull battery
Enter recovery, flash Darky's rom?
Am i missing a few steps, perhaps?
Thanks in advance.
I would also appreciate it if some one could answer OP's question. I'm not finding GB as stable as I hoped.
The new bootloaders are compatible with froyo and even eclair thus you dont have to flash the old ones. nevertheless i would recommend to do a clean install which means you should flash any stock froyo Firmware with repartition first and then flash any Kernel with cwm in order to flash the rom you want

Cheers, that's the answer i was hoping for .
Considering the modem, my guess is that it shouldn't be an issue to leave the JVK modem intact?

no it shouldnt. but if you flash a custom rom afterwards it will be changed anyway

Hey,
I skimmed through the forums and saw various posts about people asking what ROMS were safe for the i9000m but haven't seen anything about sbl.bin
As most of you probably know, the i9000m was plagued with sd card corruptions pre JL2. Then, that miracle FW introduced a new sbl.bin that solved some stuff and the sd card corruption went WAY down. Now, with the arrival of Gingerbread and new bootloaders, i was wondering if it was safe to use these new bootloaders on our i9000m devices and still benefit from that miracle cure that the JL2 bootloaders provided. Its pretty much the only concern i have thats stopping me from going to Gingerbread.
Thanks

I'd also second this question but add on to it the following:
boot.bin
sbl.bin
Both safe?
In addition:
Can we go back to eclair/froyo if we want, in order to reflash official from kies in Canada?
Can we use our own CSC?
Does this support the 850 band, or do I need to flash the KC1 modem?
Will the phone die?
We thank you all for your time
1. yes
2. no
3. yes if you use the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12156313&postcount=438 or just keep using JL2 or KC1 modem
4. mine hasn't yet, been on gingerbread for about a week or so now
moved to gingerbread and can't see why you would want to go back to an earlier firmware.
custom rom and especially a custom kernel transform the phone completely: much faster, much better functionality and better battery life
you can still connect to kies, but why? odin and cwm provide a much better means to upgrade and change firmware and open source development is much better than anything Bell will ship
things to realize: (1) the sgs is incredibly resilient and robust, most "bricks" are not bricks at all but recoverable with download mode and reflash (2) there's lots of expertise to see you through every situation and every rom chef and kernel developer has its loyal fan base, so try for yourself and find the combination that works best for you
do we need to update the bootloader if we come from KC1 and we want to upgrade to JVH?
not to use kc1 modem with JVK rom no: but if you are coming from 2.2 froyo rom to 2.3.3 gingerbread JVK rom, you need bootloaders to move from the 2.2 rom to the 2.3 rom
the sequence is:
1.change rom from 2.2 to 2.3 stock JVK with GB bootloaders (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924)
2. change stock JVK rom to custom JVK rom (deodexed, zipaligned and rooted) using cwm sd card zip method
3. if desired, flash compatible performance JVK kernel (using odin or cwm) note: many roms include kernel, check features list -- this step is only to replace the included kernel that got you rooted or to swap it out for one that has different performance features (speed, battery life etc)
4. activate 850 mode in JVK modem or reinstall KC1 modem (flash in odin or use cwm sd card zip).
5. go into cwm recovery, perform backup and then add custom modded theme if desired -- do the backup of the full functioning system before doing theme changes, that way if anything goes wrong you are starting from the completed install and don't have to repeat everything!
5. load titanium backup and restore apps: use market to update and then set up your launcher
6. do another backup!
Seems more complicated than it is. Along the way if anything hangs step 1 is always pull the battery and reboot. If that doesn't do the trick, step 2 is pull the battery and use the 3 button control to go into recovery mode, reflash and reboot, and if that doesn't work, use the 3 button control to go into download mode and reflash the part that hung, and if that fails, go into download, connect to odin and start at the beginning!
shamelessly stolen from all the good guides that dot the xda landscape and a surfeit of trial and error!
Here is what I did. At first I was on KC1 (updated trough kies). Later I flashed a 2.2.1 JS8 based ROM, without modem or boot loader (so these two were still KC1)
I wanted to try gingerbread. So I flashed the gingerbread starter through heimdall (boot loader and kernel)
I booted in recovery and installed my custom JVH ROM (took the rooted deodexed JVH ROM, removed a few stuff, edited gps.conf for north-america and replaced Swype with a fr-CA enabled-one), upgrading the kernel (to default JVH) but not the modem.
So my modem is still KC1 (850 MHz working out of the box) and JVH works fine.

You can use this procedure (as stated before) and use the latest modem with 850hz support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12156313&postcount=438
I got JVH running with a full flash and 850hz
What exactly does the 850 band give us? I've never switched anything on or off in regards to bands/modem and my phone has always given me a signal and a data connection. What exactly do you get when you enable the 850 band? Also how do you know if it is enabled or not?
Some places in Canada have poor or no 1900 MHz coverage. In this case you will want 850 MHz.
I noticed my phone used 850 MHz mostly indoor and in rural areas. To check you need to go in service mode (I don't remember the code by heart but it starts with #*#*)
@t1mman
Thanks I know but I think it's easier to say on KC1 as I have no problems with this modem.
no problems
been on jvb for a week with zero problems, this phone was previously sent in for repair prior to 2.2 jl2 release... so things seem to be good... i flashed ugkc1 modem for 850 band
Hello all,
I have a few general questions that I would really like some help with:
1.) I understand some bootloaders are not compatible with some ROMs. How do you know which bootloader you are running? How do you change your bootloader, must you use ODIN?
2.) How does the kernel come into all this, are some kernels not compatible with certain ROMs and bootloaders? When you flash a new ROM, does it sometimes come with a new kernel?
The main reason I am curious about this, is because I wish to flash the new Cyanogenmod 7.1 and want to be sure I am successful and do not brick my captivate. I am currently running Serendipity VII Build 2 and want to be as safe as possible when flashing Cyanogenmod 7.1.
Would the safest way be to flash to stock first using the following Odin one click method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Then from there, follow the instructions normally?
All help is greatly appreciated.
There are basically 2 types of bootloaders, Eclair/froyo and Gingerbread bootloaders. GB bootloaders are compatible with preatty much everything (not counting cm7 or MIUI).
Kernels are specific with a type of rom, example Boogs KH3 kernel worked with any rom that was based on KH3 (2.3.4). Some are tweaked specifically for a rom.
On CM7 and MIUI from what I can make out you can run it on either eclair/froyo bootloaders or GB bootloaders but some kernels are specific for bootloaders.
If you are on Serendipity then I am sure you used ODIN to flash i9000 boatloader (BL).
As the above person said there are eclair/froyo BL and GB BL....in GB BL we have captivate BLs and i9000 BLs. earlier GB roms used i9000 BL...then Samsung leaked captivate specific roms...so we have captivate BLs now..
All the one click Odins are used to flash captivate specific BL...
To go to CM7, many people flash it over GB bootloader and have no problem....but the safest way is to odin back to eclair/froyo stock...then go from there.....

Thank you for the help guys, I really appreciate it.
I will be flashing back to stock using the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Then I will simply flash CM&.1 on top of that.
I will report back to let everyone know how it goes.
did your phone come with froyo on it/what is the build number of your phone? its a 4 digit number on a sticker under the battery, for example mine is 1010, meaning oct. 2010. many phones built later than this, and/or came from the factory tend to bootloop from jf6 (the firmware containedin that one click) and have also been known to lose button combos for recovery/download mode which would need both if you were bootlooping and for cm7.
if you have a later build phone it would be better to flash a leaked gingerbread firmware with bootloaders included and then flash a custom kernel with cwm included so that you can then flash cm7 from there.

I purchased my phone at the end of August in 2010. The only 4 digit number I can see reads " 0168", it is the largest number located behind where the battery is held. And yes, I have lost my three button combo for recovery/download mode. It stopped working, and I bet it was because I used that one click method you mentioned.
Do you recommend I flash this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129821
It says Cyanogen Mod users stay away, why is that?
or one from the official list, and if so, which one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Also, I am a bit unclear. After I flash one of the stock ROMs with the bootloaders, how can I then flash a kernel with CWM. Can I do it through ODIN?
And just out of curiosity, why can you not use these stock ROMs for everyday use? It seems we always flash other ROMs on top of these?
I know I asked a lot, I would appreciate the help!

You can use the bootloaders in the first link. At the time of that thread's opening, cm7 didn't support GB bootloaders. But, if your not sure how your phone will work with a1 click, I would recommend using the ones linked in my sig.
As for how to flash those roms, there are directions in the first post of their respective for flashing.
You can use a stock ROM everyday, most just prefer not to.

No one said you cannot use stock leaked rom as dialy driver, i actually used KH3 for some times and it was very good.
You should flash the kernel according to the rom you have flashed. For example, For KH3, there is a Boog's KH3 kernel with CWM. For all leaked stock rom, there is one click Odins and compatible kernels with CWM injected.
To go to CM7.1, u shud be on stock (Eclair/Froyo or GB) and should have CWM....

I need help too please. I have a Cappy that was originally on eclair 2.1 rooted. froyo 2.2 Kies mini update and rooted but didn't like it's battery use and slow action. I reflashed an Odin 1 click stock 2.1 back, rooted and then did a Gingerbread 2.3.5 I897UCKJ3_withBL_ Odin 1 click flash and am liking that quite a bit more. The only trouble I am having is rooting 2.3.5. I want to do the fugu kernal swap method with Odin3 zimage-root.tar then flash boog_KJ3_kernel3.tar. I can get into DL mode and hit the start button ok.
Here is the question I have. Where in Odin3 v1.83 do you load the kernal path? PIT,BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE or CSC. I can't seem to find a comprehensive Odin3 tutorial on my own and I don't want to flash the kernels to the wrong place. I don't think the first 3 options are right based on their names or info I have found. Can't use CWM till I get rooted so Odin or possibly Hiemdall are my only choices. I have Odin3.
HELP and TYIA

Kernels go in pda
When flashing a single file, unless its a modem or csc file, it will usually go into the pda slot. Modems go into the phone slot. Csc file is a no brainer. I've never saw anything that uses the bootloader slot on a captivate. Pit slot must have a pit file AND repartition must be checked. If you are flashing a kernel to get cwm just to flash a custom ROM, kernel goes into pda slot. If you want to user Odin to flash a modem, it goes into the phone slot. All files flashed in Odin must be a tar or tar.md5 file. Don't change the name of a tar.md5, it can cause a md5 check sum error.
There you go, cliff notes for Odin.
Edit
If I missed something or messed up something, please correct me.
Found Odin3 Answers. Yeah!!!

When ur phone boots up and u see the i9000 bootsplash, then u have i9000 Gingerbread bootloaders (we didn't have eclair/froyo i9000 Bls). Also, button combo to get into recovery or download mode is different with the i9000 gb bootloaders.
And if u try and flash an i897 gingerbread rom (and don't see the i9000) but u have a "pixelated" screen, then u have i897 eclair/froyo bootloaders. If ur flash to a gingerbread rom is successful and u see the i897 (att world phone) bootsplash, then u have i897 Gingerbread bootloaders.

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...

You need to Odin flash a custom kernel that has CWM in it and then install the zip from CWM. I don't know if all kernels for the i897 are compatable with i896 just have to read. I

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!!
