help installing darky's gingerbread - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i got stuck while flashing dark kernel Odin failed, and when i got odin to pass after few attempts the recovery wasnt able to function [i tried to install miui as well and it stuck on the recovery also]

Have you flashed stock gingerbread?

You need to flash stock Gingerbread first.
This has to do with the bootloaders, Darky's v10.0 RC3 requires Gingerbread bootloaders.
If you flash your device with Darky's v10.0 RC3 without the bootloaders, it will not work.

i followed every step in darky's tut and i used a stock jvk rom before flashing
his kernel

I9000 Bootloaders and Customer Rom question

Ive recently flashed the 2.3.3 I9000 gingerbread bootloaders. Am I foolish to assume that I can now flash not only Captivate roms but galaxy s I9000 roms as well?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I9000 roms will require a captivate kernel for proper button mapping and orientation

I've been running Talon kernels since I first got root. Can you recommend a good Captivate kernel that will work with the I9000 roms?
Sent from my GT-I9000
Talon should do, obviously gb version

I tried to flash an I9000 jvr rom and the home button fix didn't work. So I flashed a talon kernel and got a soft brick. Flashed back to stock. Will have to try a diff kernel?

The ROM u r talking about comes with a kernel for captivate. You dont need to flash any fix on top of it. With that said you can flash I9000 roms that have been redone for captivate and which are present in Captivate Android Development and not Galaxy S Android Development

That was my original question. If any I9000 Rom would work now or if it had to be captivate specific.

Btw Watsa,
I just flashed Apex 9.0 JVR yesterday and haven't had a single issue. Very nicely done.

Which Bootloader froyo or gingerbread

Hello all,
I am running now MIUI 1.9.2 Android version 2.3.5.
i want to install a custom kernel but forgot which bootloader i started from..
Froyo or Gingerbread? How can we know?
OR how can we get a gingerbread bootloader without wiping everything?
thx in advance!
You don't have to wipe anything.. just flash bootloader using Odin...you can download gingerbread bootloaders from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16374373&postcount=70 ... having gingerbread bootloaders is better

(Q) darky rom

Hello, guys i am on blockbuster rom with telon kernel installed! I want to change my rom and kernel to darky rom and darkcore. What would be the method? A very brief method would be appreciated. Thanx
here you go!!
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...wm-sgs-cappy-darkyrom-xxjvr-10-3-beta-1.4508/
If i was going back to a darky ROM on my SGS I would flash 10.2RE through Odin and then simply flash 10.2.1 or the JVS base through CWM. Followed by my kernel of choice if i didn't want to stay on darkcore.
I don't think I would bother with the10.3 beta

Thanx alot for the simple instructions,exactly what i wanted.
Btw there are so many versions of darkcore kernel,which one should i flash?

Best root method

Want to root this phone for my bro. Anyone here know a one click. I was browsing here and it said it was for froyo not gingerbread. He's on stock gingerbread and I want root so I can install ROM manager. Thanks in advance.

Even if you follow the threads linked above, you arent going to get very far with ROM Manager. they havent supported the captivate since it was on 2.1 eclair I believe. Learn to use ODIN.

I know how to use Odin I just couldn't find a thread to Odin cwm

-_- OMG I tried to be nice. You don't ODIN CWM. You ODIN a kernel that contains CWM injected into the kernel itself. I recommend CORN kernel and KK4 custom or stock ROM

I recommend you do a lot more reading of the resources available throughout the Captivate section before flashing anything, with ODIN or without.

Nope.

Thanks 4-2,
Second question......Do I need to go back to stock gingerbread before flashing 4.0.4 - ICS - AoCP CP 2.1 - The Collective or can I flash over top after wiping davlik and cache , partitions???
Im running Mosiac XI now
U should be able to just follow the install instructions in the OP of the ICS 4.0.4 AoCP CP 2.1 Rom and be good to go. (This is an excellent ICS Rom by the Collective, btw.)
...U could flash back to Stock KK4 if u want the i897 GB Bootloaders...since u may have i9000 GB Bootloaders being on Mosaic IX ?? Up to u though.

Again many Thanks 4-2, I figured Id give the collective first shot with ICS since Mosaic was one of the best Roms Ive flashed.
Guess I'll be flashing it tomorrow.
Good call !! :thumbup:

Ok , flash failed....Status 7 error. Any Ideas???
^
Not sure why u got that error. No one has reported that in the AoCP CP 2.1 ICS 4.0.4 thread.
From reading around, it has something to do with the updater script etc.
Anyway, i suggest u do two things. Get into the cwm recovery u have now and then mount usb and copy a fresh download of the Rom to ur phone. Then copy this kernel.zip that is just the kernel from CP 2.1 release...posted here--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30523384 . Install that kernel through ur current cwm 1st. Then reboot to that cwm recovery and flash the rom again. Be sure to do the wipes etc. that r posted in that Roms OP.
And be sure to eject ur phone from the pc the correct way...see this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29998391.
edit: search "status 7 error" in the Search This Forum tab of this Q & A Forum...search Show Posts. There u will find a lot of helpful info.

Ok, downloaded the new kernel and redid the wipes and flashed the rom again , then reflashed just for good measure. Rebooted and it went right back to revovery and does every time I rebooted. Tried flashing back to Mosaic but that flash failed Staus 0 message. So after playing with it a while I decided to flash another Rom. Again , did all the wipes and flashed HellyBean ....Rebooted right back to recovery again , I'm at a loss...Anyone??? And yes I thought about using odin and going back to stock but Odin won't recognize my phone...Windows does , ADB does but not Odin
When initially going to an ICS Rom from a Stock Rom u will have to flash it twice. First from the cwm that u had from where u started and then second from the next cwm recovery that loads. ---- So when the recovery boots back, just select to install the Rom again. ---- It should load the Rom on that second install.
