Why would you revert back to Froyo since Gingerbread works better?

I want to revert back to froyo as well so I can get ext4.
This is not supported on gingerbread.
You need ext4 to support spacemoose1's honeycomb port.

I have gone back to froyo from stock gingerbread with overcome just for comparison purposes and now back again to gingerbread stock.
Just make sure that you take care to patch the froyo bootloader....

[Q] What to do before i send my phone in?

Well, im on an Apex 8.2 GB rom... My question is, what exactly should i do before i send my phone in for repairs?
Im thinking that i should downgrade to a stock 2.2 rogers... is there anything else I should do? Or should i bring it to 2.1? Im really not sure, please let me know! Thanks!
What was on the phone when you bought it? Go with that. TRusselo has a thread with i896 stock roms somewhere in dev forum.
Just use odin one click back to stock. Doesn't matter 2.1 or 2.2.

How would an ATT captivate user get back to full stock? As in the most recently released ATT stock firmware? I think it's KB1? I can't seem to find it. I'd rather not go back to 2.1 and have to update via kies mini.

[Q] CyanogenMod7 installation over Cognition 5 v2

Hi,
I currently have my phone running Cognition 5 v2 ROM. I wanted to try out CyanogenMod 7, which I understand is 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 based, just like Cognition 5.
What's confussing me is that the installation instructions of CM7 are asking the installation to be from Froyo/Eclear Bootloaders, while for Cognition I had to install GB bootloaders.
Why is that?
Finally, can someone point me to a post that helps me revert the bootloader and ROM to stock?
Regards,
Mauricio
The OP for CyanogenMOD hasn't been updated. You can install cm7 with the gingerbread bootloaders now and will work with no issues. You may have to download the cm7 from the link rather than Rom manager, though I am not positive on that as I don't remember how I downloaded it. Move the cm7 zip onto your sdcard along with the GAPPS zip. Reboot into recovery and manually flash them both. If you have an issue go back out to recovery and flash it again and it should work with no issues.
I THINK the issue with going from DGs ginergerbread is that it uses a different version of clockworkmod recovery or at least that is how it seemed when I did it. This is how I did it from Cog5 gingerbread. Then I decided to try biffmod. (This is my secondary captivate, backup). Good luck.

Umm i wouldnt do that. Doesnt cognition have voodoo lag fix, it will screw up ur partions and might soft brick

Yeah I would Odin back to 2.2 (the one without bootloaders), then go go cm7. The i897 bootloaders work fine with cm7.

[Q]Bootloaders

Is there any way to check what bootloaders I am running? I did have the GB bootloaders installed when I ran Fusion, Fasty & J3 leak but I have Odin'd back to stock with the no bootloader version & Kies Mini upgraded me to Froyo. Does Kies flash the froyo bootloaders? Is there a way I can check using root explorer?

If you flash a TB rom and it doesn't work. The only way to check.

A side from trial and error of kernels and button cimbos you can't. Tho there might be some info in a UART readout. But getting it to even post UART is more then what most of us are willing to do.

If I have an I9000 Gingerbread ROM installed, do I need to flash new bootloaders if I want to flash a Captivate ROM?

No. I've stayed on i9000 GB bootloaders and flashed Captivate ROMs; they work fine.

Normally no, gb bootloaders are compatible with each other, only the stock music player is known to misbehave. Some devs will advise you to use specific bootloaders, but in the end it's ur call. I'd say pick ur poison and stick with it, avoid flashing bootloader as much as u can, as it's THE part in the flashing process where your phone can be hard bricked.
Just flashed a GB stock rom w/ no BL's & it works. Looks like Mini Kies leaves the BLs alone when being upgraded from Eclair.

Are you on Rogers? if so then Kies did update the BL's, if it didnt and you try running a true GB ROM then you wouldnt be able to boot, it would have a bunch of weird colors on your screen when you tried to boot up...
I am on AT&T. Read my first post. I ran custom roms then I went back to stock then upgraded to Froyo thru Mini Kies. My question was to find a way to see what BLs I had after a Kies update. It seems not to touch them on AT&T until GB is official because I just tested another GB rom & it works.

Back to Stock

Ok I've been searching for the method to get from CM nightleis back to stock gingerbread (or any gingerbread).....none of the methods I found specified what bootloaders they were using....I'm using the GB ones...can anybody tell me how to get back to GB??
Thanks in advance,
madigan94
you must download a stock firmware on www.samfirmware.com and then you must flash back with odin when you flash with CWM your phone had bootlops so flash back with ODIN good luck

FUUUUUUU
I thought there might a reason why that particular instruction was removed from all the threads. Dang it.
Is there any advantage to running CM7 on the GB bootloader? Or should I just leave my phone as it is?

What is the advantage of Gingerbread bootloaders?
Better battery life for most users.
I would definitely recommend upgrading to Gingerbread bootloaders on CM7. There was a noitceable improvement for me.
