[Q] help. Modem and kernel won't change! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I was running CM7 fine and then flashed MIUI last night and now i can't change the kernel or modem no matter how many times i try and flash in clockwork or clear caches or factory reset. I've lost cell network completely. Wifi works interestingly. Any ideas?

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this so I can actually flash new modems and krnels? They show as successfully flashing in CWM but About Phone doesnt change!
Would love to avoid going to sto ck via Odin if I can.

what modem and kernel are you trying to flash. you need the update .zip to be designed for gingerbread, different scripting for gb. so the kernel shouldn't be a problem unless you are trying to revert to 2.2.
im not sure if gingerbread is weird but maybe you can extract the zimage and modem.bin you are trying to flash and archive them in .tar files and odin flash. as long as you are not flashing anything with boot.bin or sbl.bin it shouldn't break the ability to odin back to stock.

A word of caution: If u get on GB kernel, and go to recovery, and try to use these kernel zips to flash back, they won't work. I realized this the hard way last night.

if you read any cm7 or other gingerbread thread they say you need 3 button recovery/download. this is one reason why! i think there should be a generic froyo kernel in the proper type of update file to revert. but maybe they are trying to scare away newbs till they complete cm7 or atleast have a release candidate.

Sorted in the end.
I just formatted every partition in Mounts and Storage first before a reflash.

SGS Back to life using a jig.. now what?

I messed up my Bell SGS playing with odin.
Lost the 3 button options and ended up hacking a jig to get it into DL mode. done
Goal - a Functioning phone. Now what?
Thinking I should odin the I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC.tar.
But with or without repartition?
Can I use any 512pit?
I think repartitioning is where i messed it up.
Now all of this happened because I wanted seeARMS.JL2.v0.4 but couldn't update with the <3e> recovery mode.
Knowing that seeArms is my second (first?) goal, is there a different firmware I should flash something other than BMC to give me back update functions, but stable to resuscitate my phone?
There's ages of material here and I don't want brick my phone or waste time, I've done enough of that by myself.. now I'm looking for some expert opinion.
thanks
Best option for bell users is darkys rom. For further info check darky's rom info

Flash the stock JL2 firmware with Odin the use super one click to root your phone then flash a new kernel with SGS Kernal flasher from the market... then u will have clockwork recovery then wipe and flash seeArms! Its a great rom but not as fast as darkys
Get the stock firmware from samfirmware.com u can get the .pit file from there to

So the stock JL2 that I have is a .tar and .dll
I have a 512.pit from a beta 2.2 , are they different?
Did I mention boot problems too? Hanging @ Samsung, no splash ani.
I guess the .pit means yes on repartition?
Thanks
Just use the stock firmware and .pit from samfirmware.com and when Odin is open do not tick off repartirion... just put the .pit in it's spot and the tar in th's PDA part and flash

Download a full firmware for your model and locale (with dbdata in it) and flash it with repartition with the pit proposed (samfirmware.com) then, I believe, you will have a full functioning phone. If everything is ok, then flash ... whatever.
It's Alive! - Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 fixed.
Hey All,
Got it all working again.
Repaired: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
the fix: A full firmware (pda/csc/phone/pit) flash w/repartition.
Flashed w/repartition - I9000XXJP2.7p. (the only FULL firmware I had on-hand)
on reboot the system does a media check and was successful in reformatting and mounting the internal SD.
Phone didn't like the ROM and still logo of death, but..
A quick Jig into Download Mode..
Flashed I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar with no repartition
(can't remember if I used .pit).
And Success!! my phone is alive and running 2.2
Thanks for the help, and hopefully this thread can help others.
Everyone should build/get a jig
There is nothing more awesome than being able to force download your non-booting phone.
I could not have done this repair without one.

Yes, do this. For repartition to work the .tar has to have dbdata.rfs, otherwise it won't work.
Then flash a speedmod kernel with odin for root/cwm and flash you're favourite custom rom
unlock&root owngrade or speedmod kernel? suggestions?
Forgot to mention that all this started after I got the phone back from Bell service after SD card failure.
I know mod methods changed with the latest firmware, as I had used the update.zip method that is now unavailable.
My phone went in unlocked and rooted
the phone came back re-locked (old code doesn't work? wtf?),
and it was unrooted w/3e recovery
Can the phone unlock code change?
Will downgrading to 2.1 make unlocking easier?
or is unlocking just as simple after a speedmod kernel with odin for root/cwm
Which is better?
downgrade the firmware to 2.1 and root using the old update.zip method or speedmod kernel?
Which kernel? (link please )
cheers

You know what....I've been trying various combinations of CSC/MODEM/PIT and everything to get this phone running again.
All I did was select a FULL UGJL2, and thats IT. NO pit, NO repartition, and it worked
The best way to revive your I9000m is to first flash JPC (a three file ROM) with 512 PIT and repartition ticked. The phone will still be in a boot loop. Then flash the JL2 PDA without repartition or PIT. The best way to go back to stock! Has always worked for me. I9000m's are not the same as other I9000's and do not flash repartition and the PDA in the same flash! Good luck!

When the phone goes into this loop it cant stop unless I take the battery out, after doing that I try and flash the stock 1 again and it shows the loadscreen and then goes into the loop again. I need urgent help please... I think I may have done some things wrong... Dont know what to do to get my phone just back to the way it was after I updated to 2.2.

So you get into download mode. And you flash stock , but it still shows the fish logo? Just to clarify
No it does the same except it doesn`t show the fish logo, am I maybe flashing the wrong file or not flashing correctly at all?

Yes? So you can get easily into the download and recovery mode right? Try to flash some other kernel maybe. fugumod, cf root, speedmod or something .
What rom are you on and what are you trying to flash?
I am on froyo that I downloaded through kies, so now I tried to root my phone with fuguroot when this happened. Isnt there a way to go back to the stock froyo and try flashing fuguroot from there. Isn`t fuguroot and fugumod the same? Sorry for all these qeustions im new

Fuguroot is just for rooting, not an actual kernel
Fugumod is a full kernel with which you can run your phone
And how did you flash fuguroot ? And where did you get the stock kernel?
Cuz right now I think you flashed a gingerbread kernel on your froyo rom after you rooted with fuguroot.
And the way back if you killed your rom. As long as you are able to get inside the download mode you can flash a full rom 3 parts (maybe with pit and repartition)
I can only get into download mode, recovery mode only shows load screen and hangs. Do I need fugumod to use fuguroot because the rooting wasnt successful thats what im struggling with. I only want to root my phone so I can use one of the lagfixes, dont know which one yet, can you maybe recommend a route for me to take
I flashed fuguroot using the .tar files in that thread throught odin, adding the file to pda and preesing start. It says it completed successfully but when it resets it wont stop.

Can you please answer me where you got your stock kernel from ? The one you flashed AFTER fuguroot? Then we can move further.
And also you dont need fugumod even though its a very good kernel. But not sure about the froyo version. First, WHAT did you flash after fuguroot?

So as I said, you flashed a gb kernel on a froyo rom. You need a froyo kernel. I have no idea where there are froyo stock kernels. For that you need to google or search here on xda.
or you can try the froyo versions of the kernels I wrote you a post up.
Ok thanks i will try that, will get back to you if i'm struggling

If no luck while searching stock kernels you can try this http://fugumod.org/zImage.2.7.tar <<< fugumod full kernel for froyo
or from here speedmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
or voodoo or some cf root. really no idea where the stock kernels are
EDIT: that one you found, I dont know, and no idea if it will work. But if you wanna go custom. Try rather the kernels I posted up. (now I hope you have the I9000 too : )
Ive flashed a stock kernel that I found and it hanged at the loadscreen, after that tried flashing fugumod and it`s been hanging on fish logo for about 10 minutes already. Will keep it going a while to see if something happens.
I can however, get into recovery mode now. Is there something I can do from there?

You can try to do a factory reset from the recovery first.
I kinda hope you flashed a kernel for froyo this time. And flashing kernel over kernel and also gb. It might break your rom too. Depends on what the kernels are doing and applying.
If everything fails
Since you know how ot use ODIN if this doesnt work. I think you should try a whole new rom install. Either the one for your country as it is froyo. Or maybe try out the whole new shiny GB
Hi i am trying to flash my rom with a stock froyo rom but i'm not sure if im downloading the correct one. Ive found them here :

And im downloading this one : I9000XWJS8|2.2.1|2011 March|Download

Edit: After flashing a stock kernel a few minutes ago i am unable to go into recovery mode and it still hangs at boot screen, can someone please just give a quick overview on how to flash the new rom.
Thanks

Well I have no idea what rom you had before. From which country and csc you have. Also why are you trying to flash froyo if there is gingerbread?
And I guess the flashing of those custom kernels I wrote you didnt help?
Probably .
But if it fails flash via Odin stock Eclair 2.1 with pit 512 and repartition checked is my get out of jail card .

Hi there,
I had the issue that after apllying FuGus kernel, the phone kept looping in the loading phase (showing the battery symbol) and doing something (busy indicator). Nevertheless, I just switched it off (this worked) and installed the original kernel. Since then, everything works fine.
As I am not allowed to post answers in the dev branches --> @nikademus: Thanks a ton!

[Q] Kernel updates being "undone"?

Hi all,
Trying to update a friends SGS, and having a bit of a problem. I have sucessfulyl flashed GB 2.3.3 from ROMKitchen to it, however trying to flash any other kernel to it fails... sorta.
After flashing the ROM the recovery is always Samsung default (3e). I have used Odin to try and flash different kernels (Voodoo GB experimental - both the initial release, and the latest version, and several others)
The odd part is this seems to work, until the phone is rebooted - for instance today after flashing Voodoos latest, I reboot into the OS and checked Settings > About Phone, the kernel had updated to "curio (at) carton #Voodoo" but after rebooting this is undone..
Unfortunately the friend I am doing all this for was on tight schedule and had to leave, so there wasn't much time for experimentation, but has anybody seen this happening, and know what to do?
Kernel Flash
Did you make sure that in Odin you put the .tar file into the field PDA and not Phone? I flashed once curios kernel through the Phone-field and the modem did not flash correctly.
Besides that I never had any problems flashing a kernel. You can try the app SGS Kernel flasher from the market if you happen to have problems again.

Yeah, It's definitely in PDA. The odd thing about this all is I did the very same process on my phone, and it worked. On his no matter what I do his recovery will always end up at stock - even the kernel in the romkitchen package doesn't seem to be taking effect.
Then update recovery as always via Clockwork post .

anyone please,

ive tried so many of all of your roms and cant find the answer for this. i just came back from being on a gingerbread rom (simply honey) and i tried going to toxic music but tokic got stuck for 20 minutes on the bali kernel screen. now i cant get into the recovery option (reinstall packages) so i can root. it wont let me. it says no such file or directory. ive done this about 60 times and never came across this problem. i cant get root access to add other roms. can someone please point me in the right direction...PLEASE!

Yep. This certainly will occur after coming from gingerbread. Load up Odin and flash back to stock, reroot your phone as you normally would. Flash a 2.2 kernel and a 2.2 modem and try to flash. Its seems like you might have some Ginger Ghost left from gingerbread rom and its causing conflict coming back to 2.2 or 2.2.1. Are you able to get in download mode? If so you'll be ok.

that is the problem though. I can get to download mode. I can go back to stock. I can download the root file. I can go to recovery . ....but I can not load it. red typing comea up when I try to reinstall packages and it says It cant install from sd. how can I obtain root if I cant load it from recovery? Can I use odin for your music rom? I just need root. Killing myself trying to figure this out.
Did you put the update.zip on the root of your SD. or in some other file.?
That is also my suspicion. You probably don't have the update.zip in the main directory of your phone's sd card. If its not there, you can simply transfer it back in via usb...
that was it. i had a file called rootupdate.zip and i thought that was the one but i guess it wasnt because nothing was happening. so i looked again in my external sd and still had the original update.zip file, transferred it and it worked. happily rooted again! thank you guys for your help. maby i should delete this thread now.

[Q] Messed up - need an ICS tar kernel for Odin

This is the first time I've had this happen - see many others in similar situation but now it's me :-(
I was rocking the most stable, smooth and battery- life- loving setup of ICS ever on my i9000 after trying almost all of the Roms and kernels out there.
In the end the Elite7.1Beta worked amazingly for me and I set it all up just nice and really had no reason to start messing with it.
....So I messed with it (to get even better battery life) and flashed the B6 ICY Glitch kernel and then - bootloop.
So I need an ICS/CM9 tar kernel file (any with CWM recovery will do) that I can use to reflash the original Devil 15.1 kernel.
Believe me, I've searched and serched and simply cannot find a tar version of any of the main ICS kernels out there (glitch, semaphone, devil etc). Why are there no more tar files anymore? Am I missing something?
I've even tried extracting the kernel from boot.img using cygwin and a tutorial I found on the net - but being an untran00b I did something horribly wrong and now thank goodness I can still get Download mode.
So:
Can someone please let me know where I can find a .tar kernel for ICS/CM9 that I can flash with Odin? Or how to make one from a kernel .zip or boot.img file?
OR: Can I just flash a boot.img in Odin (doesn't look like it but just wondering?) I'v not tried that because I've messed this up enough already.
Any help greatly appreciated

well i was in the same situation and i didnt have ssdd48 to help me ..
try his method i have read that it works .. if not i believe there is a speedmod kernel which has a tar file google that
for me eventually nothing worked so i had to flash a gingerbread rom thru odin and start over .. good luck
Thanks for the replies guys. Managed to fix it in the end using Darkcore kernel which gave me working recovery (even though Gingerbread based) but really appreciate you linking me the recovery file ssdd48.
Cheers!
I have the same problem with B6!! But I use the ssdd48 way, and it works perfectly (really thanks), after that y flashed again B6 via CWM and it works fine.

hey mate, when you flash a kernel you dont lose any data right? I only need to get into CWM because I get bootloops and then I will reflash semaphore kernel
should "auto reboot" in odin be enabled?

It includes a kernel.
If that didn't work, I'd use the kernel cleaning script, and the re-flash the ROM.
Hi,
I tried to flash the datafix for CM9 but it got me into a bootloop (using semaphore 1.0.1s kernel).
I flashed this file to fix the recovery but from here things aren't going so well...
I tried to restore my nandroid backup - didn't work (tried to restore only /system though, but saw it failed).
then I tried to reflash CM9 (19.4 nightly) - failed.
then I tried to reflash the semaphore kernel - succeeded but now my phone is stuck on the "galaxy S gt-1900 screen" (I can get into the recovery though, the one included in the fix).
What can I do now? I can't even get my phone to boot...
Thanks!

Anyone?
Yes!
I was having the same problem, for 2 times now actually. The first time I had to go all the way back to gingerbread. Now it happened to me a second time, I searched again and found a solution.
I think the rescue .tar doesn't have the right CWM in it to install the ICS rom. I've found a Odin installable kernel with the right CWM, its here:

I hope this helps more people in this situation!
