flashing a new kernal

i have a captivate running firefly v2.04 and i want to flash the firebird 2 kernal , never done this before what is the best way

1.) download the kernal, and put it into the root of your sd.
2.) boot into recovery mode (vol+ vol- power all at the same time till you see your boot logo) undo lag fix
3.) select install zip from sd card,
4.) navigate to the kernal zip you put on the sd card.
5.) install.
6.) make sure phone boots.
then reinstall lagfix.
done.

Or use sgs kernel flasher app and do it in half the time

I've never had any luck with that app. My only brick came from doing it that way.

and for the the kernels here that are updated after January, there's no need to disable lagfix.

Yeah, don't know what happened, but I killed my phone LOL.
The way I posted works perfect for me everytime.
It might not be the most efficient way, but its the safest i've found.

Flashing Firebird 2.06 into Phoenix 4.1
I intend to use SGS Flasher to backup and flash kernels after viewing this video:
youtube.com/watch?v=V1s3TQ3rL-U
Btw, has anyone heard whether Firebird 2.05/2.06 is "better" than Speedmod when used on Phoenix 4.1? I've read conflicting statements about earlier versions of Firebird and Phoenix but haven't read much to suggest lately either way.
Thanks.

Thanks. I didn't even think to check if Hardcore updated SpeedMod (which he did as of today: touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/12/at-captivate-download-speedmod-kernel.html).
Here are two kernel flashing questions:
a) if you are using SGS Flasher, does it matter if you download the Odin version or the CWM version of a kernel? None of the FAQs seem to answer this question.
b) Kernels for Captivate are either for i897 or i9000/M. Some custom roms for the i897 are based off of the i9000/M models (as demonstrated by the bootup animation). So, if you were to install a Kernel, should you get the i897 kernel version or the i9000/M kernel version?
Thanks.

Cool! Thanks for the guidance!

Damn.
I backed up my speedmod kernel used SGS Flasher. I tried to use SGS Flasher to flash the new SpeedMod K12S with HZ=500 CWM zip. The flash failed almost immediately. The phone seems to be fine.
* I downloaded the zip directly from DG's page. (I tried to unzip to see if there was some other file type to flash but I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to flash the zip.)
* Root was successfully acquired by SGS Flasher.
* At the time of the attempted flash, Wi-Fi was on, the sim card was installed, as was the external sd card.
I do not, and cannot, use any version of Odin and Heimdall seems too obtuse to me without step by step directions. Anyone have any suggestions? Do I need to do anything in SGS tools first? I don't have a settings db file. Could that be a problem?
Sigh.

dl link for kernel
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B-3n...Tg4MTAtN2I5MTczZjEyZGFi&export=download&hl=en
Dl to phone. open app, select choose kernel, click ....., navigate to where kernel is saved, select file, flash kernel
Or
Dl kernel, move to sd of phone, go into recovery, select install zip from sd, choose zip, select kernel, confirm.

[Q] How to update my i9000m with 2.1?

First guys, sorry if I'm in the wrong section or repeat thread. I just got a Galaxy i9000m from Bell with 2.1 on it and I've passed two nights reading threads and I'm confused. I only have a mac and kies doesn't work for me. I just rooted it and I've download Rom Manager. From now, can I load any roms with Rom manager? I mean can I put a 2.3 rom on internal sd card and load it with RM and it will install? Thanks for any advise, I'll keep searching but i'm so confused and I'm afraid of bricking it.

quick answer... no
you need to be able to update things like bootloaders etc... this usually only happens using kies or odin... I do not have a mac so I cannot answer on how you can update, but i know you cannot do it just on your phone.. a bell mobile store will update it for you if you take it in, it only takes a few mins.

Thanks a lot for your time!!! You def stopped me from bricking it. I was lost
I don't want to bother you but do you know if I can upgrade directly from 2.1 to 2.3? Just to be sure, things I need is the rom, a FW with bootloaders, a kernel, install all this with Odin? I may try your configuration with Juwe's since we have the same phone. thanks again!

I'm not sure about going right from 2.1 to 2.3 but it is maybe worth your while to go to 2.2 and then to 2.3.. it's like a whole extra 5 mins. Just setup an account at Samfirmware.com
Get the i9000UGKC1 downloaded... it is the Bell stock 2.2 flash to that first... and un-root your phone using superoneclick. Quick reading tips to look-up
-how to get 850 modem back (important for bell users)
-flashing modems only
-Superoneclick
-Gingerbread bootloaders
Do alot of reading about gingerbread roms before you upgrade, this ROM is good that I'm on... you just have to make sure you flash a stock JVH with bootloaders or it will mess something up.. not sure what, I just followed the directions.

thanks for the tip!!! So I always have to be unroot to flash a firmware (2.1 to 2.2)?
I'm gonna stick to 2.2 for now. But I have a question...I download the i9000gkc1 FW and the pit 512. But am I supposed to have a PDA, CSC, and PHONE to put in Odin? Cause I only have i9000gkc1_homebinary.tar and if I extract it, it only gave me files like modem.bin, sbl.bin, factoryfs.rfs...
Million thanks!!!

For 2.2 alot of the stock firmwares there is only one file, the PDA. This file contains the modem and csc files... this is not the case with 2.3
So just flash the PIT and the PDA and flash the pda as the .tar file

Heimdall works fine on mac. But really can't you just use a friend's windows PC for 15 minutes to upgrade with kies? It's by far the easiest way to upgrade to KC1 (2.2)
2.3.3 isn't released yet in Canada so it's not available through kies (at least not without a hack)
If you want to flash 2.3.3, I would use the gingerbread starter (flash it trough heimdall, kernel and boot loaders only) and then flash any 2.3.3 ROM through clockworkmod recovery.

Super!! I'm gonna try that. Do you know if I should un-root before installing this 2.2 FW? Do I have to check re-partition? thanks again my friend!!!

thanks!!! I used my friend's pc but I wasn't able to install kies...always get an internet error. I might try with another one but I think I'm gonna use Odin since I heard kies has a lot of bugs. After installing 2.2, I'll def check for your GB starter tip. Thx for your help!!!

You can flash from 2.1 or 2.2 right to 2.3 without a "starter", the phone doesn't care. This is assuming you're flashing with odin or heimdall. If you're flashing a cooked rom from the development section, then it might not hurt...
Having said that, I've flashed 2.1, flashed speedmod and restored a 2.3 cwm backup and it has always worked fine.

he has to make sure he gets the 2.3 bootloaders

Thanks guys for all your help!! I really appreciate! Now I will update 2.1 to 2.2 using Odin but can you check if I'm doing it right or missing something.
So I have the FW i9000GKC1_homebinary.tar that I would place in PDA in Odin. I'll put the the 512 pit in the PIT in Odin. Start the process.
- Should I UN-check the re-partition box?? The only things checked are auto-reboot and F. reset time...?
- Should I unroot it before flashing?
- Do I remove my sim card?

Alot of people suggest removing your ext-sd and SIM (I hardly ever do)but it's not a bad practice
I usually check re-partition with 512 pit and always leave reboot and Freset checked
you do not need to un-root, after flash your phone will be un-rooted and you will need to use superoneclick program to root phone. Just search for it in the forum/google/youtube

Exactly, and I would also make sure to upgrade boot loaders when upgrading to KC1. The i9000m had issues with some old boot loaders (like no download mode or scdard failures)

I should upgrade bootloaders for 2.2?? I dont really know what bootloaders are exactly for. If I need it before installing 2.2, can you tell me which one do I need? You guys lost me I use Odin3 v.1.7 and I have no bootloader box. I downloaded v.1.82 that has Bootloader option but I think its for another device version, no? Are you guys talking about that or the little square box "phone bootloader update"? I was ready to go but now I'm not so sure....

There are two files sbl.bin (secondary boot loader) and boot.bin (primary boot loader). When you upgrade with KIES the bootloaders get updated too.
You can use heimdall on your Mac to update to KC1 with the boot loaders. But sometimes when you download a ROM the boot loaders aren't included so check that first.
With ODIN 1.7 you should see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Yes you have to check the boot loader check box. But You must still check that sbl.bin and boot.bin are in your tar file.

thanks!!! So I unrar my .tar file and I only have Sbl.bin, modem.bin, factoryfs.rfs, cache.rfs, param.lfs, zimage. I don't have the boot.bin file you told me. Can I still check the "phone BL udpate" box or it won't work? What should I do at this point?

Hum, probably that there is no need for a primary bootloader update for KC1 then. You can still check it.

CRAP!!! I flash it but it tells me succeed 1/failed 1. Now it boots, shows the galaxy s i9000m logo, then goes to the big S logo and turns has a black screen. And the phone vibrates like evry 30 sec with black screen on. I took a picture of what I did and attached it. Is my phone broken? Can you help me please???

can you boot in download mode? (vol down + home + power)
I think you should flash modem and CSC. Especially since you repartitionned.

ClockworkMod Recovery doesn't install over Samsung 3e

Friends, It seems that some users have successfully run ClockworkMod Recovery, but I myself have had no joy. The past two days I scoured this forum for fixes. I'll admit this is my first attempt to flash a custom ROM, and no little about Android, but as a legacy COBOL/DB2 programmer, I thought I was up to the challenge. Could you please review my procedure and advise.
Reference threads:

PROBLEM:
Using ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery, ROM MGR indicates current

PLATFORM:

Ran ROM Manager Download - no exceptions, but result was undetermined.
Here, after perusing the XDA-Dev forum, I determined the following fix was in order to allow unsigned program execution:
App software installed: Root Explorer v2.17.2
Copy modified '3e' Recovery file to \System\bin
Rebooted and flashed CWM again via Rom Manager - same as before: no exceptions, but no variances.
Discovered one post advising to:
Remove external SD card and reboot per forum thread and Reran CWM Recovery, but still no variance or exception.
THIS IS THE CURRENT STATE.
I didn't continue with DesignGears post:
"Also you cannot just replace the recovery file... you have to replace the images
in sbin or in the zImage its self, otherwise you get errors and cannot do anything." because I don't understand the terminology. Could someone please elaborate on this specification?
So, I'd really appreciate a second set of eyes here before I run through this whole routine again. I haven't read every thread here, but if someone could direct me to the answers, I'd be grateful. Thanks for your help.

Click my signature link below. There u will find a link to a Guide that will give u ur answers.

I went with the ODIN installation and it worked to a tee.
A note for Noobs: Before you start check the specs for your ROM to see if it's based on Android 2.2 (froyo) or 2.3 (gingerbread) to determine which kernel to flash. The chefs use abbreviations (i.e. cognition is based on KB1) that you can look up the meaning for in this post:
IF HAVEN'T ALREADY, READ THIS FIRST

It does not matter which you use.
This is a transitory kernel and the entire point of flashing it to get cwm is to FLASH A CUSTOM ROM, which will flash a compatible kernel with it.
So, there is no need to boot into the os after the initial kernel flash, just boot into recovery after, which will now be cwm and flash whatever.
Unless you're going from froyo to gingerbread, then yo will need to flash the correct bootloaders with Odin/heimdall

3e recovery problem..need help on file location...
Hi,
I have been looking at information on putting the 3e recovery .zip file on my phone. I watched a video, this really should be simple BUT, things are never simple for me!
I followed instructions UNTIL I came to
Copy modified '3e' Recovery file to \System\bin
I have a recovery with permissions rwxr-xr-x 404.77k in the ROOT
I have another recovery.rc permissions rw-r -- r -- 1.99k in the ROOT
When I go to the system/bin (via Root Explorer) there is NO recovery in there.
Can I/or should I copy over the recovery (404.77k) in ROOT?
or should I put the 3e recovery file in the \System\bin?
Could this be because I did NOT root with superoneclick and used the Fugu Root Method and it put the recovery file in a different directory?
ConfusedThanks for any help.

It is much simpler to flash a custom kernel with cwm included with Odin.

gramme66,
If u r still running stock i897uckk4, then just get the .tar version of this kk4 based kernel [KERNEL][KK4][12/10/11] Corn Kernel v6.03 w/ custom CwM5, Ext4, working nandroid and put it in the PDA slot of Odin3 v 1.83 or similar and connect ur phone in download mode to ur pc and hit start after Odin shows recognition of ur phone. It only takes Odin about 8 seconds to install, then ur phone will reboot. Afterwards u can use the button combo (hold volume+ and volume - and power button at same time until u see the att splash screen. Then release and u should be in CWM Recovery).
Here is an Odin (extract it from the .zip once u have it on ur pc. Then right click it and run as administrator, click the PDA tab, navigate on ur pc to the .tar Corn Kernel, and etc.)... View attachment 858759

I believe the kernel will work for you. It is backwards compatible as well. See this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19962226&postcount=720
Be sure to use the latest kk4 corn kernel version 6.03 found Here.

Thanks again for your response. I have just finished flashing that kk4 corn kernel version 6.03. Now, it boots in until it says media scanning complete and starts to boot over again and again and again LOL....
What do I do now?
Thanks

what was the original reason you wanted cwm? to flash a rom? cause...you have the that you need to do that now.
power down...both volume buttons and power til you see the at&t screen then let go, that will boot into cwm.
from there, plug your phone into pc, go to mounts and storage, and mount usb storage, the on your pc tranfer rom to your internel sdcard...

Got an issue. After following the steps on page 1 of this thread, I then download ROM Manager, installed Clockwork Recovery (but didn't get the Samsung Captivate option), then I rebooted into Revovery, and my screen got stuck. All it showed was "CwM recovery systems corps" and a gray bar at the bottom of the screen. So, I pulled the battery, rebooted, and the Clockwork Recovery mode came up just fine. I think I did something wrong. Can you help?

You are absolutely right, not very nice, absolutely right. I realized that NOWHERE to be found were the words ROM Manager on the first page. It's just that I've always automatically used ROM Manager to go into Clockwork Recovery. Anyway, I unstalled it, and the method now works flawlessly.

yep. i'm a ****. i have learned to live with it over the years, yet i dont expect anyone else to learn to live with it in one afternoon.

flashing 10 different firmware is enough??

you used odin to flash a cf-root kernel.. for some reason (either it was a wrong kernel or something else) your rom is not booting... the one I told to flash is a stock rom / darkryrom which comes with its own kernel..

As I said, a pic would be better to identify the problem... and if you are not facing any problem with darkyrom, flash that and then choose any rom of your choice and follow the instructions given in the first post of the rom to flash it...
I recommend staying on darky's for sometime and read about different roms and stuff to make a choice..

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=1#
download the latest firmware from above link.. its a stock samsung firmware..
the zip file that you get here, unzip it.. there will be three files.. pda, modem (phone) and csc files.. download .pit file from here ..
in odin put all the 4 files.. tick repartition, reboot and reset time and flash.. this should make your phone work..

thank you for your rapid answer
I'm downloading this:

kies logo doesn't mean nothing? (maybe install only via kies)??
thanks a lot
EDIT: inside this zip file there is only a dll and a tar

It doesn't work with this firmware always the same problem
I think there is a problem with the internal memory, have you seen the first photo?
formatting data it gave me this:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
seems that it can't access to the memory

earlier you wrote that you could only find .tar and .dll file in the zip downloaded from sammobile.com, how were you able to flash that?
I read through the other threads.. found three more methods to try to get rid of this problem..
First one
using odin just flash the pit file first.. click on repartition but don't click on auto reboot... after its a success... flash rest of the three files I mentioned earlier (you didn't get those three files from the firmware you downloaded from sammobile.com, I don't know why, so maybe this won't work for you)
Second
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-rom-darkys-resurrection-edition-9-2.895/
use the above link to download Darky resurrection rom 9.2 .. its a froyo rom I know.. but first lets get your phone working then we can upgrade it to GB... This may work as I think it converts partitions to ext4 system (not sure) so that rfs system error that you were getting shouldn't cause any problems..
Third
Darky Resurrection 10.2
This also uses lagfix that is converting partition to ext4 but as mentioned in the link, it doesn't convert /system in ext4...
Also, go through the link below

maybe something in here could help

Try flashing .pit file only and then only .tar .. shouldn't make a difference but you never know

Keep an eye on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567394&page=2
a link will be posted here in sometime where you'll be able to get all the three files along with the pit file for the stock rom.. That is the last thing as per me that can rectify your problem.. once you get all the files.. flash... if that doesn't work then I'll suggest download the stock rom for your region from sammobile and flash it even if its just one tar file before taking it to the service centre

You already had a thread made for the same error few days back. The same question.. did you try flashing a rom using the PIT file? http://d-h.st/FVh (Don't use it if you have 32GB model.).
In your previous thread you said 4.0.4 works fine? whats the status now?

yes i created this thread again as i got no reply there.
yeah i tried that with lt6,lt5 and i still get the same error.
yesterday, i flashed ics 4.0.4 on ics i got no error in recovery mode. but after flashing ics 4.0.4 i updated to 4.1.2 via kies and then inserted simcard n rebooted and i get same error..since then i tired 2.3.5,4.0.4,4.1.2 firmware and i get same error..yes i flashed pit file too. stil no luck

So to conclude.. as of now, your phone is booting fine with ICS 4.0.4, no error in recovery as well?

did odin flash the rom successfully? I mean the FactoryFS, cache img etc? ... now if you boot into download mode, flash Philz kernel from odin, what happens?

if i flash philz kernel via odin i get no access to recovery. i only get download mode

Once you flash philz kernel using odin.. remove the usb cable, remove the battery.. re-seat the battery after 10 seconds.. then press vol up+home+power till you see the GT N7000 screen.. then leave the keys. See if you can get to CWM.
