is that the new gingerbread? dont do that yet, but if you do read old threads about i9000 roms on the captivate, threads from before we had reorient kernels. the button mapping and headphone logic and orientation is all messed up. getting back to download mode is tricky. if you can take the bootloaders out of the .tar file it might help but it also might not boot at all without the proper bootloaders.
if you have to ask you are defiantly not the person to be trying something new like that...

Actually I've flashed everything from I9000 ROMS, to MIUI to CM7, multiple times. It was a simple question of whether or not any new breakthroughs were found pertaining to the I9000 gingerbread. I searched, couldn't find any, wanted to be sure.
yeah but did you flash them when no reorient kernels were available? there is alot of information that has been lost to the newer comunity members because it is rarely relevant anymore.

Hello, i have a Korean Galaxy S, Anycall SHW-m110s,
using steps I found in this forum I upgraded it to froyo firmware DI29, using odin.
The build seems to be an incomplete build and it is quite laggy and buggy. I would like to restore and revert back to the original build, android 2.1 eclair, ECLAIR.DI03, however I'm having trouble finding out how to do that.
If anyone would be so kind as to instruct me how to do this, or instruct me as to where I might be able to find out how to do this, I would be so very appreciative.
Thank you for your time.

I assume you flashed di29 with odin. To go back you would flash di03 with odin the exact same way. If you do not have the rom you can search for "M110S-NPS-IMAGE-REV03-DI03-1545-USER.tar" and I am sure you will find it on numerous sites. After flashing di03 you will likely have to go into recovery mode and wipe fs and cache.
U risk bricking ur phone if u revert to eclair from froyo.

Of course there is always a risk but I have flashed the between dg14, di03 and di29 on an shw-m110s numerous times without any issues.
From my personal experience, as long as you are only flashing the PDA portion I wouldn't worry too much.
so how do i flash bak to eclair jm1 from froyo jp6 ? i read in different posts its possible , but all those who tried bricked their phones

This thread is discussing a specific model sgs, shw-m110s. It has different hardware and firmware.
You are obviously using a different model. You should ask others who use a similar model.

well yes i acctually own a n1 and am obssessed with roms. right now im still trying to get myself familiarized with the sgs. which is kinda confusing coz of all the numbers.
iam on darky's 9.2. its alright but looking for a stock one right now so that i can customized it myself to my liking.
heres specifically what i wanna do right now:
- flash a stock 2.2.1 rom deodexed
- apply kernel (voodoo or speedmonk)
- lagfix (not sure if it depends what kernel
- all from cwm no odin. (bad experience) lol
and from there on thats where ill start from. right now thats all i wanna do.
thank you for your reply sir.
Okay on a pc here is the link

I have done lots of customisation with this rom and use it on a daily basis hope it helps you.
So I just got my replacement phone, and it came stock with the kb1 froyo build. My previous captivates all came with 2.1, various builds, and was able to flash roms easily.
My question is this...is there anything I need to be aware of that's different when flashing with a kb1 build phone? I just don't want to mess anything up and void my warranty for good.
Also, I did a little bit of searching, but does anybody know of a thread with how to flash back to the stock kb1 build in case I need to return my phone again for some reason? If so, a link would be greatly appreciated.
I know these are probably stupid questions, but if you guys can provide some insight without flaming, that would be great.

Search is your friend. There must be a dozen threads on this. Best bet is to Odin back to stock 2.1 and proceed from there. 2.2 has a different recovery scheme that makes it a little more complicated. Read the sticky in Dev on how to flash a custom ROM.
Hi All,
First of all, i totally new here, so please forgive me if i post at the wrong place, and sorry for my poor english...
Again, i'm new and newbie.. really appreciate for any help given...
i just brought my SGS since month ago... went to samsung service center for twice for shortcut missing problem & GPS no signal (Thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043034 it helps alot)
Now... most headache, lag issue.. memory full....
So.. is there any solution for this? i know root and flash might help but how can i do this? i read some threads around, but i not sure which to choose... or should i wait for official android 2.3? Will 2.3 solve my lag/hang issue? I don't know what is root or flash exactly, what can it do? any disadvantages?
Oh! and what is JIT? I heard it can make apps run faster! worth a try?
I don't mind and hardcore/heavy solution(need advance skill) as long there is a tutorial for me xD
Really appreciate for any help and advises ^^ TQ very much..

Want you need to do it search for username ramad or chainfire on rooting your phone... they offer good guides on how to do it or go and sign up to this website.... www.darkyroms.com... good luck...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ok! I found some ramad's post, will have a try... some question here.. can you help me out?...
Root means i can bypass OS permission and configure the system my self right? How about flash? erase the default firmware(original android os?) and install a new one? Will it cause some hardware failure or unable to use some features like wifi, bluetooth, gps? or maybe it will enhance it? !
After flash... some apps will unable to use right? because many apps support original os like 2.2, 2.3... if after i flash it... my os is not android 2.2, etc anymore right?
And just now i factory reset my phone.. now it unable to play Mp4 file.. it say i need to convert to supported format when transfer to phone... it is strange that i never have this error before, although i was transferring the same Mp4 file that i use to play in my phone before.
Flash your phone with Darky's 9.5 link was given by chrisdavesants
It's really easy to do too and plenty of guides are around.
Although it is a Froyo (2.2.1) rom it is far more stable than any Gingerbread rom's
Everything works just as it would on a stock rom.

After flash... some apps will unable to use right? Didnot experience any apps not working... everything worked...
because many apps support original os like 2.2, 2.3...custom roms are based on official 2.2 or/and 2.3 so they are the same features are just enhanced...
if after i flash it... my os is not android 2.2, etc anymore right? Depends on what you flash... will stay 2.2.1 for froyo or 2.3.3 with ginger
And just now i factory reset my phone.. now it unable to play Mp4 file.. it say i need to convert to supported format when transfer to phone... it is strange that i never have this error before, although i was transferring the same Mp4 file that i use to play in my phone before.

Alright, I am just trying to find out where to start. Like what's the difference in bootloaders, roms, etc. Is a ROM a Kernal? Stuff like that.
I want to basically like take this Captivate back to stock and start from there, problem is, I have no idea how to get there.
On bootup it currently has the Galaxy S screen with a Cyanogenmod so I guessing it is running that.
Pertinent info:
Model: SGH-I897 - AT&T
Android Version: 4.0.1
Kernal: 2.6.35.14-g76142d0
Mod Version: IceCreamHackish-11282011-Captivate
Build Number: ITL41D
Baseband Version: I9000UGJK4 - This doesn't seem right to me (think there might be a problem with the SIM board but not sure)
Recovery/Download Mode brings up CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.2
Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
A ROM is basically all the things that you see on screen that's part of the system, i.e. the user interface and menus and such. The kernel is essentially the software interface to the hardware, and controls the core OS functions. A ROM is going to come with a kernel because nothing can work without one, however they are not the same thing. Nothing is wrong with your baseband, as being on a CM based ROM requires an i9000 modem in order to work properly.

I didn't think these had i9000 modems. :/
They use i9000 based Kernels because they're ported from the i9000 itself.
^if that statement is wrong someone correct me, I'm merely stupid to some things
That being said, anyone that can help me get this thing back to the original software?
Read all the stickies on how to use ODIN, download mode, CWM and what a JIG is. Using ODIN can make your captivate a brick so I suggest you read alot and understand it.

Sarcasm how nice. I wasn't looking for Rogers in particular but if you are going to be picky, I would rather not assume that just because someone put i897 infront of it that it is 100% for AT&T. If you choose to do so, that's your perrogative.

Funny enough so have lots of others in the threads. But nope don't take their words for it they are probably lying just so you would do something stupid.
