If you read the instructions thats the Voodoo Lagfix writing the file structure .
Once it reboots your phone is lagfixed .
You then FFFF it up a.

i didnt understood what you saying

what he means is that 'robot voice' is normal on voodoo kernels, the voice is stating that lagfix is being applied.
and also, the majority of darky's roms end up bricking peoples phones, so the way to fix this is to flash stock eclair (2.2) with PIT 512 and re-partition box checked in ODIN.
this will fix a bricked device 99% of the time.
EDIT: is darkcore kernel even compatible with JVA/B/K roms ???
if not, that is what fcuked up your phone !!

Azzledazzle,
Firstly this is untrue, I never had problems with darky roms.
Secondly a phone that is recoverable via the 3 button method using odin or whatever is not "bricked". A brick is a dead phone.
I think you should post a retraction as you have made 2 assertions, both inaccurate, one of which is unfair to darky.

First of all 'MAJORITY OF DARKYS ROMS' meaning not all but a hell of a lot. Search button at the top if you dont believe me.
Secondly a brick is a state where the phone does not function, albeit it may be a temporary / part / semi brick, but its still a brick none the less.
Thirdly I WILL NOT retract or edit my post as everything i said is FACTUAL , please edit your post accordingly. No need for apologies.

Excellent - so we've established that when you said "majority" you meant "minority" and when you said "brick" you meant a phone with any kind of defect - when the accepted definition is a phone that cannot be repaired without return to manufacturer.
Now all we have to do is work on your attitude to having your gross exaggerations / mistakes corrected and we'll call it a result eh?

how many threads have you seen with the title ' bricked , darky rom, bootloop, help '
a lot more than you see ' darkys rom is soooooo good', i am not dis-respecting him, i have used his roms from 5.1 - 9.0, but i started getting issues so i changed. Im not saying everyone has issues but A LOT do, whether this be the rom or the flasher. i dont know.
and by the term defect. that could mean a dint, a scratch, a bug, a glitch.
What i meant by brick is the phone not booting as it should, example: boot loops, Phone ! PC sign. not 3 button combo, corrupted bootloader.
Taking your phone to a SSC all they will do is JIG it and Flash a stock ROM, we do this at home.
We dont always have to take the phone to the manufacturer when we can do similar jobs to them to repair a *BRICK*
EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_(electronics)
so dont come over all smart arse with me, because im merely stating a fact that you dont agree with.

No its not untrue at all the majority of the help i broke my phone posts on here are Darky roms fact just read the damn forum .

Brick is really the generic term used here for phones that wont boot rightly or wrongly.
I think you should post a retraction as you have made 2 assertions, both inaccurate, one of which is unfair to darky.
I calculate 2000 of my posts are in respect of broken Darky roms you need to read the help posts .
If Darkys that good why do his users never get any help here and why are you not on top of the problem answering the hundreds of Darky broke my phone posts .

PS leave it all up to you now mate you can answer all the deadly broke my rom posts . I just hope and pray he does not move to SGS2.

flashing JPM instructions issues

ok, i tried the method posted on samfirmware.com
flashing the jm8 with repartition 512 pit, then doing pit803 jpm with reorient kernel. the issue is whenever i do sd reformat/data wipe, i get some errors during bootup (red lines saying unable to datawipe or something). i went ahead and flashed the jpm with 803, but then i get more errors during data wipe/sd reformat. is there a specific method for flashing JPM with reorient kernel for captivate users? thanks guys.

first, i think you need to use a jvq whit bootloaders. are you tried clean flash ?. three files whit repartition and pit file ?
Try another Odin if you aren't getting a progress bar. I recomend ezodin and it seems to work for some people. I had one version of odin that just never worked.
yeh i tried flashing a JVQ rom with the phone, CSC and PIT file but nothing happens :S how do i flash the booltloaders with it?

use the EZ method, search for EZBase / EZROM / EZOdin. (the EZROM contains all the bootloaders and everything you will need)
Very user friendly and really simple but soooo effective.
I dont know who the maker of it is, But if i did i would give him a huge thanks, he saved my ass many times

Well, are you sure you used Odin 1.3 (that's the one who always worked for me, even on windows 7 64 bits), run it in administrator mode (not sure if it helps), and saw that your SGS was connected in Odin when you plug it in ?
I was using odin 1.85

Here's a link. Not sure if there's a newer version (just had this one handy, in a bit of a rush). It'll unbrick your phone anyway

Well, glad you succeeded with ezodin...
But just to let you know, I think that it didn't work because you used odin 1.85.
Same problem happened to me one time with 1.85 (not recognizing my phone) so I came back to 1.3.
Odin 1.3 always works with firmwares from samfirmware.com

[Q] Odin

I was just wondering I just recently bricked my last Captivate luckily At&t replaced it for free but im not sure how many more times thats going to work. My idea was that the brick occured from a suspicious looking 2.3 odin file but im not sure if that bricked it. Should I try flashing with the same computer but with a diferent 2.3 odin? I got a new one heres the link.

A hard brick occurs when you flash incompatible bootloaders. Make sure you flash the gingerbread bootloaders first (either the i9000 bootloaders or 2.3 captivate bootloaders) with odin then flash your gingerbread rom. There are odin packages that include just the bootloaders. Hope that helps.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Yeah it kinda helps im gonna wait though and buy a usb jig just so im ready if anything does manage to go wrong. Thanks though i didnt know that.
See with the package i used that bricked my phone it got stuck in a certain stage and wouldnt go anywhere so i tryed unpluging it and try to go back to 2.1 but after that attempted 2.3 flash it wouldnt accept any odins.
A hard brick not only happens with incompatible bootloaders, but with an incomplete bootloader flash, which is what happened, you say it stopped at a certain point, that is more than likely where it bricked. That package isn't "suspicious", if it were there would be a lot of reports about it.
The first link you posted is bootloaders only. It will not flash 2.3 firmware at all. Just the boots.
To make sure odin doesn't stall out, use a port on the back of the pc, right click odin and run as admin.
What studacris said. Keep in mind there is always a small risk on flashing that Odin fails. So once you flash Gingerbread bootloaders just don't flash any bootloaders again unless you really need to. OR Look in to the Unbrickable mod if you want that.
Just askin how long would ikt take to flash just the gb bootloaders?
Less than a second. Its a very small risk to begging with BUT a risk none the less.
ANother question is there any danger in downgrading bootloaders?
Same as upgrading. No reason to Downgrade except maybe AOSP specific kernels or warranty.
I had to right now because of a bootloop and a failed custom rom install and none of my backups worked and i couldnt install anything else. It said on clockworkmod that it couldnt read my cache folders. Did i have to go back to 2.1? Because thats what i did. Also thank you guys for answering my questions the captivate is so much more complex that the droid when it comes to custom roms and stuff like that.

No there are Odin packages that Do not include bootloaders, just saying. Same as there is GB packages without bootloaders as well (this goes for KF1 and KH3 to my knowledge). Once you flash GB bootloaders there is no reason to reflash bootloaders except for AOSP specific kernels and Warranty.

[Q] Upgrading Froyo UCJI6 to latest Gingerbread

Hello
I have captivate from at&T ( I897). I upgraded last year from eclair to froyo UCJI6 from some site.
Please can some one guide me step by step how to get latest gingerbread. I never had gingerbread on my phone. Upgrading from UCJI6 scares me.
Your help would mean a lot to me.
Thanks

I looked at your post but it was confusing for me as i dont know much.
There were two download links..one was boot loader free ..other was different one.
Can you please send me the the right steps and link for downloading
thanks
Another resource is
MobileTechVideos <- good video guides.
That being said, modifiying your phone can lead to hard bricks. So above all read and understand everything. Most of the danger is flashing bootloaders (that's why you see packages with and without bootloaders, to limit the danger). If you corrupt one of the bootloaders or flash 2 different (none matching) bootloaders you need a Jtag or UnbrickableMod service. When flashing Gingerbread you NEED gingerbread bootloaders. Once flashed you are golden and don't have flash those ever again.

i checked above forum where u helped the guy with upgrading UCJI6 to GB.
He had issues while upgrading but eventually he was succesfull.
I could not find which method he used ..
please help me if possible
Read up on how to get in Download mode and how to use ODIN (or Heimdall if you are running a none windows machine). Download a Stock gingerbread rom with bootloaders and flash. The latest is KK4, but i've never used that specific package (though it should have bootloaders) I can speak for KJ3 on that thread.
Basics.
Open ODIN (1 click or not) as admind
Get in download mode (press vol up+voldown+connect to computer
If normal ODIN use the PDA slot and select the .rar.md5 package
Hit start
Let it finish and bootup
???
profit
I'm not responsible if anytthing should go wrong. If odin gets stuck or you do something wrong you will soft brick or possibly hardbrick your phone.
i am giving up.
Can not find any links and steps which are of great help for Upgrading to GB from UCJI6.
Some are going back to 2.1 before upgarding some not.
Dont know what to do
Going back to stock is-was only used for cwm flashes. You will use ODIN. 2 way different things. Follow my steps. Or read through the tons of threads here. It isn't that hard.

he gave up because he couldnt find EXACT instructions on going from one particular FROYO build....because if he had done any actual research, he would know that it doesnt matter what version of FROYO he is on, he will need to flash the ODIN package with the bootloaders....its all covered in the vast damn posts that already cover this extensively. there was ZERO reason to fire up a new thread.
he has been linked to good info and has refused to take heed. reading and UNDERSTANDING is more important than holding hands around here.
Yes we were all noobs once and yes, you need to do your research but he's obviously nervous and not understanding what he's reading right now. Hopefully he'll calm down and understand the information he's been given. We're done here.

I really want to rwmove this os and hard reset and go back to the "out of the box" ICS 4.0.4. Please if uou know of any step by step guide kindly lik it here. I am starting to hate android and mias the stability of my ios so much but i really hope its because this rom is buggy and would like to give android another chance. Thanks a lot team..

Put your phone in Odin mode volume down+power+home buttons all together
Once you get the warning press volume up to enter odin mode
Make sure kies its closed and connect your phone to the pc and wait until all the drivers gets installed
After that open odin and do not change any check box
Make sure a yellow block turns on in the top left corner of odin indicating it recognizes your phone
Press PDA and put there the file you downloaded (and extracted) from sammobile.com
Press start and that's it.. Wait until it finishes and you will have a full stock phone

The latest android now is ice cream sandwich(4.03&4.04). It has a bug, when you performed a factory reset, recovery data wipe, and nandroid( backup&restore ) it will corrupt your pit files and the result is they called superbrick, the only remedy is to replace your mobile board.
The only safe solution for it now is to flash safe custom kernel( the stock rom has a stock kernel inside) like speedmod k3-12, notecore v12, and goku to be safe from doing factory reset, recovery data wipe, and nandroid ( backup&restore ).

If your in stock rom there is less percentage of brick, but still your in danger. Before i dont believed just like you that stock rom is susceptible of being brick, then i read some brick there note on stock rom, i change my mind.
I dont spread fear, it is documented here in xda. Better safe than sorry.

It might not sound right, and I understand you are new, but just like learning a new skill, rooting any Android device requires some amount of self-reading. People are helpful here but if you know the basics, you will be in a much better position to decide what's good for you and understand the instructions.
Android inherently treats all processes, including the touch interface, with the same priority. iOS treats the touch interface as a priority process, so Android might feel a tad laggy, but the benefits of using an Android device are way more than using iOS, which you can realize only after using the Note for around a month.
One of my friends switched to the Note from an iPhone, after using her iPhone since the first one, and she is enjoying the Note, as are many.
Criskelo's ROM is actually one of the fastest and most stable on this ROM, so it seems you have some unusual issue that's ruining your experience. Always try watching a video on YouTube of the ROM you are considering to flash, so you know how it looks and feels before flashing.
Welcome to Android!
Criskelo 4.04 ICS LRK v11.2, LRK Modem, speedmod k3-12 kernel, Carrier: AT&T (US)

Android inherently treats all processes, including the touch interface, with the same priority. iOS treats the touch interface as a priority process, so Android might feel a tad laggy, but the benefits of using an Android device are way more than using iOS, which you can realize only after using the Note for around a month.
One of my friends switched to the Note from an iPhone, after using her iPhone since the first one, and she is enjoying the Note, as are many.
Criskelo's ROM is actually one of the fastest and most stable on this ROM, so it seems you have some unusual issue that's ruining your experience. Always try watching a video on YouTube of the ROM you are considering to flash, so you know how it looks and feels before flashing.
Welcome to Android!
Criskelo 4.04 ICS LRK v11.2, LRK Modem, speedmod k3-12 kernel, Carrier: AT&T (US)

THanks for the info , yes I was told that Criskelo is the fastest and most stable but I dont know why for some reason it feels very laggy and drains battery like crazy. So I thought that maybe going back to stock ICS would solve the issue.
Lets say I want to keep Criskelo ... can I just go to Back up and Reset and Factory resset the phone ? is it safe? i dont care about the data and apps , ill have everything backed up and i can download again manually. but that might solve my lagging issues?

If all these steps complete successfully will my phone still be "rooted" ?
And I believe it should solve my battery drain issues along with bugs and lags right ?

It's safe from safe kernels lol.. Why don't you flash notecore, then factory reset?.. Notecore its a hell fast kernel and with over clocked version I'm getting 15/16 hours with 4/5 hours screen time.. And yeah notecore its a safe kernel
If you want a nice experience with your note I really encourage you to buy for a couple of bucks mobile odin.. Will make your life hell easier and safer
With mobile odin pro you can change custom kernels like changing your underwear without risking your phone and allowing you to try custom kernels with no yellow triangle.. Notecore and speedmod are the main kernels for tw roms
You can flash notecore and speedmod from cwm too though but for that you need custom recovery and a safe kernel wich criskelo already provided to your phone..
You gotta read a lot hehe

I think I already have notecore ?

ur right i certainly need to read a lot and i thought jailbreaking an iphone was a pain !!!
So is it safe for me to factory reset now ? It looks like I have NOtecore and CriskleROM v11
ALso for some reason Kies wont detect my GN in USB form.
I looked everywhere, tried reinstalling a zillion time, it wont do
Once you learn the basics you are good to go.. Erm yes you have notecore.. Download the latest release from his thread its v12 and yeah you are safe to perform a factory reset on your phone
Forget about kies on cuustom roms.. You only need it for drivers but nothing else... Heck not even being stock you need kies.. And if you want kies to detect your phone you gotta go settings/development /enable usb debugging
Edit: you need enable debugging
