SO, earlier today Supercurio put together something special for those of us in Canada on the i896- a stock Rogers Froyo kernel with voodoo injected into it. Following logic, those of us on the stock Rogers Froyo should be able to have our cake and eat it too: a kernel modified especially from Froyo, intended for the Captivate, with voodoo lagfix but without the need to reflash an i9000modem or kernel. Here are the files:
Kernel: stock Rogers Froyo i896 w/ voodoo injection
Modem: Stock Rogers I896 UXJL1 Modem
Before trying a flash, I unlagfixed and backed up via Titanium Backup.
First I tried the kernel flash. I knew it wouldn't work with the modem, but I flashed it first to make sure there were no issues.
Rebooted into recovery- RED SCREEN
I did not enable the lagfix at this point. Just a straight reboot.
Regular boot screen; Rogers logo; Samsung Splash screen- then everything goes black. The home key buttons will light up and never go out if pressed. The phone stays like this until I pull the battery(I waited 25 min before I gave up).
I have tried various configurations regarding flash order(kernel/modem), I have repartitioned the card, factory reset before starting, everything I can think of, but this kernel won't boot past the splash screen.
However, when I revert to SpeedMod kernel(k13c) everything goes back to normal.
I would have thought I could flash this stock kernel over the i-9000 based kernel with the lagfix on both without issue, clearly I am wrong.
Can anyone see anything in my process that is inherently wrong, or even better would some other brave soul with stock Rogers Froyo be willing to try a flash? I wouldn't bother if this is your first crack at it though.
Thanks in advance to all who can help out.
So after wiping all caches and factory resetting, I get the following message at my Red Recovery screen:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File Exists)
Is this important?

I get that all the time. No idea what the hell it is and have had to manually select my GSM bands when I flash a new rom or wipe dalvik cache since it started. Other then that no problems seem to be caused by it, for me.
Call off the dogs- after I installed the driver package that was included with Odin 1-Click I managed to get a master clear and a flash to the AT&T stock.
I must have spent 3 hours installing different driver packages today.
A shame it didnt work out smoothly. I'd be interested but am far too new to risk the troubleshooting..

Well, I have some very good news. This little kernel seems to be pretty special. After getting myself back to Rogers Froyo, I have done a few tests. I am getting very solid Linpack scores of 15-16 mflops and Quadrant Standard scores of 1400-1500. Using CPU benchmark, we have scores of about 725 ms @ 1000 hz and 700 ms @ 550 hz.
These scores are very solid and are about 20-25% improvement over stock Rogers Froyo Kernel.
This is promising as the kernel is a native Captivate kernel and could do a better job of servicing the many Froyo ROMs out there in terms of simplicity and stability.
The stock modem still needs more testing in terms of gps fixes and accuracy and data speeds.
I'll get back to you about those shortly.
If you have thought about staying on Rogers Froyo, this would be a good start for improvement.

I would highly recommend this Kernel!! All the above benefits, plus fantastic battery life. The stock modem seems fine, although I've had better data transfer speeds and GPS locks from JL1 kernel, but this stock modem is perfectly fine.
Would love to see anyone else's results as well!
I like what I see so far. I am getting 1575 scores on quadrant (I know it doesn't mean much) but overall lag is gone.
I was a little freaked out this morning as the Rogers network was dead here this morning and I thought maybe I had done something with all this to kill cell / data. But everything cleared up after a few hours and I was back to normal.
Outcast, were you able to flash this custom Kernel without the issues that Clemmie came across? Much like phrenicthenub, I'd love to see the performance increase without the current bugs of custom ROMs, but I don't think I'm competent enough to troubleshoot if it all goes to hell.
As long as you disable any lagfixes and return any O/C or U/V kernels to normal you won't have these issues. Everything should work fine.

Did you guys do the 3e recovery fix first before being able to install CWM?
Hi guys... So i was trying to get SpeedMod to work with a i9000 modem like JK4, but my bluetooth is always noisy...
Right now, i have:
Latest SpeedMod kernel with LagFix enabled
JK4 Modem flashed.
What do i have to do to get this Rogers Supercirio's Voodoo kernel and modem ?
Thanks.
Elisha, I just took the plunge and got these flashed. Definately do the e3 recovery fix before setting up clockwork or anything else. That was the one part that gave me any trouble, but as soon as I got that sorted, everything went very well.
I'll try to pay attention to how things seem to perform and post my findings. Thanks for the encouragement again, Clemmie.

First you will need to boot into recovery and disable your lagfix. Back everything up with Titanium Backup. Download the files above to your root folder and reboot into recovery again. Using cwm, use the install zips option and flash both the kernel and the modem. Reboot yet again into recovery, clear your caches, then enable the new lagfix in your cwm options. It will take a while to convert your partitions from rfs to ext4, so be patient.

Thanks Clemmie,
I disabled LagFix from cwm and the speedmod kernel, rebooted, flashed modem with original JL1 modem, and then reflashed kernel with stock rogers froyo. backed everything up with Titanium backup. So i am currently back to stock, with a backup.
cwm is not in my recovery menu now, so if i use ODIN to flash the .tar version of supercurio's stock+voodoo kernel, does it contain cwm ?
ODIN with this kernel should work and then enable lagfix on first reboot by converting to ext4 right ?
Thanks alot, i am just starting with all this and want to make sure i understand everything before i take the plunge.
Thanks.

Thanks ! i'll try that a little later... i'll let you know how it goes...
Well, so far, this Kernel seems to be the best thing to ever happen. I consistently get a score of 1501 in Quadrant standard (not from a fresh boot or anything, and running beautiful widgets and things, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I know with most benchmarks you're meant to close as much as possible, etc) and things just seem to be nice and smooth overall. On top of that, the battery life is, all of a sudden, seemingly PHENOMENAL! All whilst using the stock ROM. Either one of those benefits alone would have made the flash worth it. This is the way this thing should have run from the beginning.
I'll test out how well the GPS works, and try to pay attention to my signal strength with WIFI and calls and report back.
Thanks I figured as much as I had to do the 3e fix after I accidentally upgraded to the official Rogers Froyo the first day I got the phone.

Ok, so i have used the tar version with ODIN3 v1.52 to flash stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I896-UXJL1. As i said, i was on stock kernel with stock JL1 modem.
Flash went great, took about 5 seconds, then rebooted. First reboot took about 7 or 8 minutes with a robot voice telling me the different steps it was in...
Everything workd without hickups... This kernel works realy well and speed is definitely there !
Thanks for the help guys...
Hi guys, I've just recently started becoming curious about NANDROID and it's capabilities...
I understand that it is basically an "image" of your HD etc, but to what extent?
The main reason I'm asking this is because I've tried flashing (twice) to CM7 and both times I had issues with it so I had to go through the process of reverting back to stock ROM, then a hacked ROM then to Darky's etc etc.
So is it possible to take NANDROIDs of both CM7 and Darky's and just restore either at any time?
I believe that CM7 runs on an MTD filesystem (or whatever it is, it's different to the stock ROMs) and I may run into issues if the correct files aren't flashed beforehand, but will the NANDROID backup/image all of this as well?
So in short, can I NANDROID for example: Froyo 2.2 stock, Gingerbread 2.3.3, Darky's 10.1 and CM7 and switch between any and all of them at any time without running into file system issues or any other issues?
Thanks very much in advance!
No you cannot. Because: CM7 runs on froyo bootloaders and Darky's 10.1 is Gingerbread and requires Gingerbread bootloaders and these can only be changes via odin. I don't think nandroid backs up the kernel either so you can't move from GB to Froyo this way either, but you may be able to just restore your data (apps) between froyo and GB(I haven't tried).

Ahhhhh ok, thank you very much for the reply.
I was under the impression that NANDROID took a whole image of everything, but it does not.
So does this mean that to go from Darky's to CM7, I just flash the EZBase 2.2 then restore CM7 via NAND?
And CM7 -> Darky's just EZBase (optional/unnecessary, correct?) > GB > Restore Darky's via NAND?
Thanks again for the reply!
When moving between froyo and gingerbread only restore apps, NOT apps+ data, or you will encounter problems
GTi9000 insanity cm012/glitch
I'd say to go to CM7 from Darky's GB flash either the 2.2 Ezbase or froyo Ezboot(search it up), and then flash a CM7 kernel(either stock or Glitch or whatever) then format system, cache, data and datadata then restore.
Then to go from CM7 I'd go Ezbase Gingerbread then install a JVH kernel(Ezbase is JVB and the kernel isn't compatible with JVH) via odin then restore. I'd be careful though, I haven't tried this out and I don't use CM7, it's probably easier to just pick one or the other, follow the proper procedures to get to it without shortcuts and stick with it.

Ahhhh I see... I will have to do a little more research.
I'm in the process of trying to decide which one to stick with.
I've only just started flashing recently so I don't know a whole lot, especially about versions and compatability.
(So this means I can skip the EZBase 2.2 and just go with EZBase 2.3? I didn't know there was a GB EZBase, hehe)
Darky's was the first custom ROM I ever flashed and I absolutely loved it, but I had heard about CM7 and that it was much more customizable and quicker and this and that so I decided to give it a try.
The first two flashes of CM7 worked ok, but I got hit with a force close loop caused by switching between 2G/3G and as a result went back to Darky's. After a few weeks I've found out how to apply a fix and it has fixed the issue and now CM7 works well (flashed + fixed a couple days ago).
But now I'm having issues with the phone shutting itself down (or screen not responding to buttons so it stays dark, unsure which. I can't hold the power button to turn it back on but I can enter download mode, so I'm assuming either the screen stays off or it is stuck in some kind of semi-awake state.) and also the battery doesn't last like Darky's did...
So I'm thinking of just reverting back to Darky's for now, might come back to CM7 when there is a stable release or something like that.
Sorry to make you read all that, but anyway, the help is much appreciated! 8D

My advice for what irs worth is go with cm insanity, downoad insanity cm010 to sd card, flash ezbase 2.0 froyo, do a wipe/factory reset, then boot into recovery, instal insanity cm010, and voila, you will be over in the insane crew, see you in the thread if you need help thereafter do not restore, any system data or app data, with titanium, only apps.
Make sure battery is charged before you start
Allow plenty of time for boot ups
Never panic

And also where to find it?
Yeah, I tried to update to nightly 30 to try and fix the phone dying issue, but it put my phone into a bootloop...
Had to do a restore for the first time ever but it worked as far as I can see.
What is your battery like on Insanity?
On Darky's I was able to get 2-3 days fairly easily (using Juice Defender Ult) but CM7 it lasted maybe a day (and even lost 20% while it was idling in my pocket while I was at work for 3 hours somehow...)

I've got this rom on my samsung fascinate, and I have to say, it's the best rom out there. Even better than cm7. Does every single function work with this rom (gps, camera?) And in order to install it, is all I need to be on a rooted .34 and use bootstrap?
Sold my fascinate and my droidx and now both have miui and my HTC device does not. Looks like i have cake on my face.

It's a nice rom, I was on CM7, went to Apex, and then used bootstrap to get to Miui. I heard that the GPS does work(but my phone isn't activated and i can't use wifi to try it myself), I can confirm that the camera(pictures and video) works. as far as rooted .34, I don't know what that means?
thanks for ur quick response. So it's assumed that all the functions are working! I'll put this on my cousin's droid x asap! What I meant was, what were the initial steps that needed to be taken before I install this rom. There are no clear steps that I can find on this post at least.
You're welcome, all I did was use the Droid 2 bootstrapper(since that was what i had, and I was on Apex at the time which I think is a froyo based rom?), and went into recovery and did a factory restore, and installed the zip, and it booted. I took a risk, skipped backing up the rom and stuff before installing MIUI, but yeah make sure to back up the rom and stuff before you use the bootstrapper. I also read that full resolution should be working on the camera, the MIUI camera isn't included though, just the AOSP camera. Also the live wallpaper(only one on there) works.

I understand this runs the froyo kernel so im on liberty 2.1 can i bootstrap to recovery and flash this? Oh and do I need google apps as well?
Edit: Do I need to sbf back to stock then to cm7 then to miui?
Which version of Android is Liberty 2.1 based on(not sure if it matters as much as which kernel it's based on, if someone will clear it up for me), and which kernel is it based on? I don't know much about that rom. I know that at least the Market and Google Talk are included, Gmail is in there also(don't know if that's something that wouldn't be in a custom rom ie CM7).
EDIT: You should be able to install it from rooted froyo at least, but it would be good to find out if you could do it from Liberty, so you won't waste your time just in case you can.
Its 2.2 and I couldnt get it to install so i sbf'd back to stock and trying again.
Have you got it running? EDIT: This is Juanito216, i didn't know my sisters account was logged in lol.
Not booting apparently you need d2 bootstrap........sbf'ing again.
Edit: Still at moto logo. 4 minutes now not booting.
I recently installed MIUI on a coworkers OG Droid and fell in love. To have it on my X just a week later is awesome. This ROM is tizzits.
I can get cm7 to boot up but not miui wtf am I doing wrong?

Ok I got a quick question and the searching I've done really hasn't turned up anything definitive. I've got andromeda 3 right now and a back up from rom manager from when my cappy was stock running 2.2 and just rooted running either possibly onix or speed mod kernel that I made before I went with andromeda and, I also have a stock kernel backup from sgs kernel flasher.... I know I was very paranoid before my first rom flash. My question is if I wanted to go back to stock at some point should I just use clockwork to restore the nandroid I made with rom manager and flash the kernel after with sgs kernel flasher or should I do an odin 1 click to get to stock 2.1 then use mini kies to go back to 2.2. I guess it wasnt too short, really I just wanna know is one way 'safer' than the other to go back to stock if I decided too.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
There is a cwm flashable stock image in dev somewhere, I don't have it bookmarked sorry. I always use ODIN to go stock. Doing a nandroid backup wasn't backing up all the files like it should back in the day. Not sure if it is now, but I never relied on it. I haven't used kies in months, no need to do a stock update. But, really, the only reason you would want stock is if you're selling it, warranting it, or something where you need stock on it. AdamOutler is working on heimdal. I think there is stock version of it. But as far as bootloaders go, you're on 2.2, now. ODIN brick is ok. I've had a few. Jig will solve it.
Edit
I guess, to answer your question, ODIN is fine going from any 2.2 rom to stock 2.1. The trouble is going from 2.3 to 2.2 or 2.1. Then the bootloaders change. If something messes up in the process, you're screwed.
Ok thanks that's what I've been trying to figure out, and yeah I have no reason to wanna go stock but its just for future reference, wanted to sell *gasp* or need to have it repaired. Who knows maybe i'll throw my back up at it at some point just to see what happens and see if it really was a full back up and I'll search for what you mentioned. Kies has worked the one time I used it so maybe I'll try that for fun and see if it goes alright again. Really I'm just looking for the fastest way to go back which if it goes alright should be my rom manager back up. Thanks for mentioning the deal with 2.3 roms from the forum threads I've read it seemed kinda risky to make the jump so I've stuck with 2.2 roms so far.

OK GUYS. Kinda noob here, need some help.
-On Captivate (obviously)
-Was on 2.2 Froyo
-Rooted phone using superoneclick.
-pleased overall. Looked into new ROMs, but couldnt quite get an understanding
-Ended up updating to Gingerbread 2.3.5 via kies mini
-killed my root access
Here are my issues:
-Cannot figure out how to root
alternatively, cannot figure out how to revert back to froyo to root, then download and apply Cyanogenmod7, which is what i actually want
-When i was rooted on froyo 2.2, i would try to use ROM MANAGER and it kept saying the SD needed to be mounted, even though it was.
Basically, if someone could either copy-paste (or provide a link to) a guide as to how i can go from 2.3.5 Gingerbread to Cyanogenmod 7, i would be forever greatful.
I want to be able to overclock my cpu for better proformance, plus have FULL costomization abilities. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I ROOTED MY CAP WHEN IT WAS 2.2 YESTERDAY, AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH ANY SORT OF MODDING.

Take a look in the development section.
You'll need to run one of the one-click stock ODIN or HEIMDALL packages with CWM baked in to get you a setup that will work for going to CM7 (there's one in my sig if you need it).
Once you do that, look for the CM7 thread in the Development section. It has a step-by-step guide to flashing CM7 (basically download, backup, flash).
well if you used super one click to root it back then, i would use super one click (new version) to root it again...
cm 7 has instructions.
if you really wanna know how to root 2.3.5...it's in the general section.

You'll want to take a look at the kernels compatible with Cog, I'm not familiar with Cog, so I can't give you any direction as to which one you could try
Froyo isn't as freaking kernel picky as gingerbread. Any froyo kernel will work, just remember if you use a reoriented I9000 kernel you will need to flash an I9000 modem as well. This will also give you hsupa at the cost of audience chip support.

OK GUYS. Kinda noob here, need some help.
-On Captivate (obviously)
-Was on 2.2 Froyo
-Rooted phone using superoneclick.
-pleased overall. Looked into new ROMs, but couldnt quite get an understanding
-Ended up updating to Gingerbread 2.3.5 via kies mini
-killed my root access
Here are my issues:
-Cannot figure out how to root
alternatively, cannot figure out how to revert back to froyo to root, then download and apply Cyanogenmod7, which is what i actually want
-When i was rooted on froyo 2.2, i would try to use ROM MANAGER and it kept saying the SD needed to be mounted, even though it was.
Basically, if someone could either copy-paste (or provide a link to) a guide as to how i can go from 2.3.5 Gingerbread to Cyanogenmod 7, i would be forever greatful.
I want to be able to overclock my cpu for better proformance, plus have FULL costomization abilities. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I ROOTED MY CAP WHEN IT WAS 2.2 YESTERDAY, AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH ANY SORT OF MODDING.

upgrade again to uckj3 firmware with bootloader then flash boog kj3 kernel it have cwm recovery
after flashing recovery
wipe data and cache
install cm7 from recovery it will fail for the first time again go to recovery and install cm7 after installing cm7 wipe data and cache again reboot the phone it will take time as the phone will regenerate dalvik cache
cm7 is pre overclocked to 1300 mhz you can increase the overclock to 1700 mhz by flashing glitch kernel

It isn't pre overclocked, it comes at a stock 1000 MHz or 1GHz.... Then you can OC with Glitch and stock I believe. But it isn't 'pre overclocked'
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
it is pre overclocked we just need to set it through cpu setting or set cpu like apps
If you need to set it, it's not PRE overclocked. The stock kernel just comes with the ability TO overclock
If it was preoverclocked you wouldn't need to set it with an app..it would be oc'ed by default...lol

I am really struggling as to whether it's worth upgrading to stock GB.
I mean the "newer and better" is sitting there beckoning me with its siren song, but there appear to be lots of little landmines that people are then regretting the upgrade.
1) tethering mgr error
2) bad battery life
3) random shutdowns/reboots
etc, etc
Are the "benefits" really noticeable such that it is worth taking the risk of the landmines and the time/hassle of trying to fix them?
