[Q] Need Samsung Captivate I897 official Kernel - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Rooted, installed ClocksWorkMod Recovery and changed the kernel to Voodoo. My GPS never worked before and after these changes and have tried every software hack/trick/tweak I have found on the net so I am forced to send it off to Samsung for repairs. Now I need to put everything back to official standards so my warranty won't be voided. My questions are as followed...
1. If I use the 1 click odin to install stock 2.2 Froyo will my kernel also go back to the official kernel? Will the recovery go back to normal? If not then...
2. Can someone provide a link to where I can obtain the official I897 kernel so I can re-flash it myself as well as some suggestions as to how I can put the official recovery back onto the phone?
Thanks!

Odin flashes you to stock. Stock, stock, Stock. everything stock

Why would you want to go.backward to stock when there are so many awesome roms out there. Your time would be better spent rooting and using Continuim, Paragon, Firefly, or any other 2.2 rom? Odin willbget you back to 2.1. From there you can do what you want after you root and install cwm.

Its not good idea to flash sgs by stock firmware. Use last froyo from samfirmwares. You can flash your phone sevral times using various firmwares until you'll get it working.

[Q]Flash Back to stock 2.3.3 without bootloader? is it possible?

Be running currently the new bootloader
if anyone can help please I have done these actions and needhelp:
1 .- I did flash rom GB-12, now own the new bootloaders. (I did not like the rom GB-12, personal opinion)
2 .- I returned to stock (eclair) maintaining the new bootloaders(Gingerbread boot loader) with the stock rom by icezar1
icezar1ROM stock without boot loaders http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
thus verified that the new boot loaders are compatible with earlier versions (2.1 and 2.2)
3 .- continumv5.2 flash ROM (where I am right now)
My questions are:
as I can get stock of gingerbread without having to flash the newboot loader?.
I want to avoid being reflash bootloaders
I for example go to the rom apex6.1, [ROM][2.3.3] Perception II Beta 2
just flash your new rom in cwm like normal

do not need back to stock 2.3.3 gingerbread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045734
sorry so many questions, I want to be sure
DO NOT FLASH COGNITION!!! It has a froyo sbl.bin and on gingerbread bootloaders it will brick your phone. No question about it. Dead. A corpse. A cadaver. No life in it.
Otherwise you are good, I flashed from firefly to continuum 5 rc3, to perception 2, to mosaic (biased personal favorite). No reason to go to stock.
I also has a Q. So now that I have 2.3 bootloaders installed. Should I ever have to flash bootloaders again? Or at least till 2.4. Can I just del sbl.bin on what I flash?

The only thing you have to fear is Cognition as he has the froyo sbl.bin for the 3 button fix.
Other than that, you should never have to reflash your bootloaders (beside going stock for waranty).
Thanks for the info

Can someone clarify something for me please?
I flash Continuum 5 and also gingerbread bootloaders usig ODIN. I followed instruction from MobileTechVideos.
My question is this...if I wanted to try another ROM based on Froyo how do I do this? Would I need to flash back Froyo bootloaders?
And how do I go about just flashing another gingerbread based ROM?

Well you just make shore no sbf.bin file in rom by unzipping it and checking...(i don't know of any roms that still have those in then now, even cognition doesn't anymore.)... To flash gingerbread rom it is same as with froyo, I use cwm. I've heard serinity 7 is really great. So just flash as usual, but with froyo roms just be careful and check first..... BTW trance is way better than techno, just saying

Just make sure the ROMs you're going to flash will not either flash your Primary Bootloaders or Secondary Bootloaders. Then, you're safe.
Primary Bootloader(GB) + Secondary Bootloader(GB) = Alive.
Primary Bootloader(Froyo) + Secondary Bootloader(Froyo) = Alive.
Primary Bootloader(Froyo) + Secondary Bootloader(GB) = Dead.
Primary Bootloader(GB) + Secondary Bootloader(Froyo) = Dead.

So once you go to 2.3.3 there is no way to go back to 2.2?

You can use the eclair one-click to get back to stock, DO NOT USE THE ONE WITH THE THREE BUTTON FIX!
Also you can just flash a froyo rom and kernal without reboot in CWM.

[Q] COMPLETELY NEW TO THIS STUFF!!!(Galaxy S)

Helllo there,
i recently installe Stock 2.3.4 XXJVQ having only used odin for the first time, however i like the idea of having a new ROM on my phone whenever i like, firstly...
My galaxy s has no custom rom, cm7, custom kernel or anything like that, it is completely stock, what is the safest and quickest way to root 2.3.4 jvq and start installing custom ROMS.
Also i know that if i (somehow) manage to brick my phone i can just install XXJVQ stock again, but ive seen various threads which say they have just installed a new rom and bricked their device and now they cant get into recovery or download mode, how does this happen and is this common?
Thanks.....

read all the FAQ`s, and forum rules for a start point, this will give you the confidence to proceed, if you follow instructions from whatever thread you chose to use then generally you wont have any problems, the sgs is very hard to kill, but it is a learning process so do the learning and start simple with maybe just a kernel flash and all should be good, it takes time to learn so dont rush anything
Thanks, also what are GB bootloaders? And If I'm currently on jvq can I flash cm7 recovery onto my phone without changing any of the kernels? I'm on gingerbread so will I still have froyo bootloaders?

[Q] DarkyRom 10.2 RE Issues/Question

Hey Guys,
I have a couple of questions in regards to going back to stock from DarkyROM 10.2.
After using 10.2 for about a month now, I have noticed that while the rom is fast, There are quite alot of glitches in my day to day operations. My 3D HD games no longer work smoothly (as they did in 2.3.3 with CWM), the phone will randomly freeze up when using the browser/gallery/calender etc. After multiple re-flashes I am coming to the conclusion that to get back to my original performance I may need to flash a stock JVQ and then mayby just us CF ROOT or something of the like to get CWM access.
My question is, what preparations need to be done before preforming this flash. Also, can the stock files be flashed with ODIN? Also, if anyone has any input on why DARKYROM 10.2 seems to have these issues, please feel free to let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!
Phone Specs:
Samsung Galaxy Vibrant (i9000m)
DarkyRom 10.2 RE -w- KC1 Modem
Only Mod preformed after flashing RE was updating the SMS application to the SGS2 App to restore the chat bubble colors. The issues were present before this update. Did the update through DarkyRom Tool.
If you guys need any more information, just let me know..
Anyone??????
Alright, I'll take this one if no one else will. I too have the i9000m, and have learned all I can about keeping it alive and well. Going back to stock is easy. Go to general and look for the stock firmware thread. You will get instructions there on how to flash with odin. I've never used darky before but I did use CM7 and flashed back no problem. You could also look for Ramad's prerooted roms. I'm running one right now, UGKG3. Works great as I couldn't root it myself.

Hey Dude, Thanks alot for your response! One more question before making the switch....Should the voodoo lag fix that comes with Darky 10.2 be disabled before flashing with Odin back to stock?
If you want to go back to stock ROM. Before flashing disable the lagfix (for safe). You can download the firmware from www.samfirmware.com. and its an odin base installation.
Post your problem in www.darkyrom.com some expert will help you...
Hey guys.
I have flashed stock ROM (2.3.4) via Odin and worked absolutely fine. Didn't need to fiddle with the lagfix or anything. Simply popped phone into DOWNLOAD mode and flashed (with re-partition/wipe and backing up "stuff" beforehand).
The lagfix menu I think, is in the RECOVERY mode in the extended power options menu. I think thats the CWM with the DarkyROM maybe? Either way, you can enable/disable the lagfix in that menu.
Hope this helps!

[Q] CWM Recovery for AT&T KK4 2.3.5

So I looked all around and could not find this specific question. I upgraded the wifes cappy to the AT&T Gingerbread KK4 release via Kies the other day. I found a thread to assist in rooting which went fine. But for the life of me i cannot find how to get cwm on this thing without changing the kernel. I used a file based cwm on the sdcard when it was froyo that i would flash for use when needed and it would revert back to stock 3e after rebooting, that exist for KK4? She's insisting I keep hers stock as she's worried about it bricking so I have to follow orders lol!
U can't do the update.zip to get cwm like in eclair days because of the 3e recovery. If u want cwm on kk4 u gotta at least flash a kk4 kernel with cwm baked in. I have been using Corn Kernel version 6.03 and it is excellent.
Why do u want cwm if she wants to keep it Stock ? To flash different modems... U can't flash mods etc. because it is stock and odexed...
Just curious.

So I can flash clock mods and such from the kitchen, unless of course KK4 doesn't allow it. It did allow on stock 2.2 and worked just fine without issue. My thing with flashing a different kernel is I don't want anything that's overclocked or such on her phone.
What you need to do is get a kernel with CWM already baked into it.
So start with this. Flash the Corn 7.03 kernel. I used it for the entire day today with a great experience. It was just released today as well. This kernel has CWM already in it and works great with the stock rom.
I also suggest flashing this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358180 This is Trusselo's: 【stock】【kk4】 rooted deodexed debloated rom. Its basically a stock version of the rom with root already in it. It is missing a few ringtones but who really cares about that. Its also stripped out of the stuff that slows your phone down and paired with the kernel it makes for a much better experience on the captivate.
So if you want stock this is about as stock as it gets with a mix of high performance.
