Voodoo lagfix - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My brother has a new captivate but does not want to flash a new rom, crazy i know. But he does like the snappy way my phone runs. Can some one tell me and point me to if possible the newest lagfix that can be installed on stock froyo.

Having the lagfix will require a flash. the lag fix is built into the custom kernel.

Any way that the voodoo lagfix can be flashed to his stock kernel so that the only thing modded is the lagfix?

I believe you can flash kernel on stock but it will be through odin. You could always check AdamOutler's video about flashing UrsaMinor. Will also get you rid of the signature failed on 2.2

OCLF for 2.2

Does anyone know if the dev of this app is working on an update to make it compatible with 2.2?
I have found this the easiest way to root and lag fix my phone without going through odin and would prefer to use the app rather than any other method.
it works on 2.2 . install the EXT2 tools first then restart the app and select root 2.2
worked on my SGS using tayatumas 2.2 build ( typo?)

It doesnt gove me the option to do that mate.
All buttons are red except for "Check available memory"

Have you rooted your phone? What version of the 2.2 firmware are you running? OCLF worked for me on ZUJP2 and XXJPM builds of froyo.
Im in the same boat, I can't seem to root ethier, anyone know of an easy root method without using odin?

Oclf can only root 2.2 if the kernel has recovery 2. With you have to use an custom kernel/Rom.

No I'm not rooted yet. I was hoping to use oclf as its easier to unroot if needed. I'm running official jpm 2.2

No its in kernel 2 or dome custom kernel.
You need to flash a kernel with recovery 2 in it.

Or after rooting, you could also just grab it from the market by searching for "ryanza".
Odin is really easy to use if you just follow the instructions.

How do I flash the unhelpful kernel

I am using the newest cog Tom and would like to be able to use a kernel that enables oc/UV and the different lagfix options. Can anyone tell me how I flash just the kernel over the cog Tom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
i wasnt aware that unhelpful had created a 2.2 kernel?
so what you want to do is flash a 2.1 kernel into a 2.2 rom? are you sure you have read the dev forums?
If there it is a 2.2 kernel, just flash the stock 2.1 kernel with odin and flash the one you want over (sorry vague) but just search it
*edit*
Its on the cognition wiki

i know how to flash a kernel, but the OP stated they were on the latest COG which is 2.2. unhelpful's kernel is a 2.1 kernel. flashing a 2.1 kernel on a 2.2 rom will end in boot loops....it wont be pretty.
the only kernel that i know of at this time for us to use OC/UV on 2.2 is setiron's, and its a modified i9000 kernel.
rather than trying to get someone else that has already done the legwork on learning ODIN to respond, I think the OP needs to read...a lot
I have been reading alot and can't seem to find a direct description on how to do this.

probably because you havent provided enough information....
i will repeat.
if you try to install unhelpful 2.1 kernel on a 2.2 rom, it WILL NOT work.
so, are you trying to do this on a 2.1 rom or a 2.2 rom?
there are plenty of instructions out there, so you havent read enough.....there are really only 2 ways to flash a kernel. through Clockworkmod or through ODIN.....pick your poison.
If you flash cog 2.1.7 you will have unhelpfuls kernel version 1.7 but i prefer version 1.4.1 despite the lack of voodoo lag fix. It just worked better on my phone. Great battery life.
overclocking may not be enabled at first so read unhelpfuls first post first if you dont get it ask more questions.
If you flash a cog 2.2bx 2.3bx or 2.4.x rom then you are looking for setirons kernel. It has more advanced lagfix options but i get battery drain so the undervolt thing is useless. There is a way to fix it but its too much to explain.
All in all overclocking is mostly for bragging rights. On ecliar it was good using unhelpfuls kernel.
Setirons kernel may be very advanced but there are tradeoffs it being an i9000 port.

[Q] Loop Boot Fugumod

Hi all, I've just flash fugumod and at the end of the process I plug off the usb cable.The phone went into a cycle of trying to ignite, in which the display changes to fish fugumod galaxy white letters s. Then I ****ed and I tried to flash the rom JVQ but does not move the bar of odin. Please if anyone knows what should I do to help me thanks.
Can you enter the recovery menu?
Did you tried to do a factory reset before flashing?
Did you by any chance flash FuguMOD Ultra on RFS partitions (without lagfix enabled)?
Thanks for both of you. Finally I solved it by reflashing stock kernel. I dont know for what but my phone has very problems with fugomod kernel so I decided to change the kernel. Bye dudes!

Thanks for the info, I,ve had flashed JVQ 2.3.4 deodex ROM and I've been flashing fugumod when I have the problem. Finally I fixed it reflashing the stock kernel.

Then i guess u used ultra bleeding edge. This doesn't work when system is on rfs. Read the original post to make it work.
OK I'm in a good mood. Flash the normal version. Boot. Get fugu app from market. Use it to convert system to ext4 or jfs. Reboot. Get sgs kernel flasher from market. Get latest fugu kernel bleeding edge ultra. Flash kernel with sgs kernel flasher. Done.

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.

-_- 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

Please help- Urgent!

Hey guys, my friend has a i900 running 2.2.1 froyo. He hates how it is always freezing and wants me to root it and put CM9 on it. I swapped sim cards with him and did a nandroid on mine so i can restore after. So i have his phone
I was wondering is the process to get Cm9 running is the same as coming from gingerbread.(thats what my phone came with 2.3.4)
On mine i:
Flashed CF root with ODIN,
Booted into recovery and flashes Cm9 and an approprite kernel.
Just wondering if i can follow the same procedure as before. Help is appreciated, i dont want to mess this up.
Thanks.
Just upgrade to gingerbread using Odin...root with appropriate kernel using Odin...flash latest cm9 nightly in cwm...check out slim 4.1 as well.

All i need is recovery mode anyway.

I don't believe you can go to Cm9 from froyo...you maybe right but all the info you need is in the links I provided. I'm sure you'll find you're answer in the cm9 thread.
I gave it a quick look and it doesn't mention gingerbread. But if it were me I would since it might be more difficult to dig up a kernel for froyo

I don't actually need the kernel to boot though. I just a recovery to flash the Rom. Would that work?

You need gb bootloader to get onto cm9, as far as I'm aware, hence the need

I see you have an i9000m and on Virgin - franchisee of Bell.
Follow these instructions
[HOWTO] Flashing CWRecovery to i9000m & upgrade to ICS AOSP 4.x ROM from any version
Branch off to whatever ICS rom you want.
You'll definitely need to be using the cm7-kg3 modem for any ICS rom going forward. That means after every new ROM flash you'll have to flash the KG3 modem. Once you are upgrading within a ROM, you won't have to re-flash the modem each time.
If you use a firmware from the first link I gave you there are firmware. with bootloaders.
The links contain everything you need...firmware....kernel to get cwm....Cm9....and radio zip
×Slim Rom×
Thanks guys, im going for it pretty soon here. You guys are awesome.
For the first time in my life, kies just connected to a phone. I cant handle it. I think im gonna pass out in disbelieve.
Anyway... lol.
Can i just update to gingerbread kg3 from kies?
Yes, but you may have a difficult time finding a kernel with cwm for kg3.
×Slim Rom×
and now i cant get into recovery mode. Just download mode. I downloaded the stock firmware from samfirmware, and was gonna flash it with odin, but which file to i put it under? Its just a single tar ball
EDIT: For some reason i have to use power volume up AND down and home. Wierd.
I always use firmware from the link I gave you...just flash jw5 from link with 512 pit....then root with semaphore 2.7.4.tar from second link....easy.
×Slim Rom×
I will try that now. Cause im bootlooping with CF root.
After that you can flash cm9 in cwm...additionally slim 4.1...then slim common....then the Kg3 modem zip in cwm as well.
