i have gingerbread XXJVP. i rooted my phone and for that i have CF kernel.
now i tried to install this theme. thats why i installed Supercurio's kernel. and this theme works. but if i want to install other themes, like this one here , my phone stuck at startup, i think which is called bootlaps(i am getting used to these words )
whats wrong in my procedure?
when i get this problem, this is i how get back in normal. i flash the filesystem file with heimdall. and it gets to original theme with all settings ok. is there any other easy way to get back?
please any expert help me.
you shouldnt mix various mods and you should read the instructions of each mod very good. you can ask the developer of the theme if he can make a cwm file to revert to stock files. if you have knowledge of flashable cwm files, you can make an zip file with the original files in it to revert to stock.
Thanx for your ans.

I have a captivate running Cognition 2.3b8 and want to change/remove the ATT kernal boot splashscreen. I have found tutorials for many other devices but not the captivate. Most use bootloader/fastboot which to my knowledge does not exist on the captivate. Some use a modified PDA file thing with ODIN however my rom is packaged as a zip so i don't know what files to edit. Any help would be apreciated. Ohh, and is it possible to perminitly brick doing this, im fine with doing CWM restore and Odin flash stock if I have problems.

Well flashing there is only ONE way ? With CWM (either the 2 or 3). Or you could do it with adb. (or try your luck with root explorer (not recommended))
And there is also 2 versions there odexed and deodexed so depends which rom you has. But if you have a custom one, then look in the corresponding thread to that.
Also we are speaking about gingerbread right? . And if you looked into the themes and apps subforum here, you would find all what you need
what is cwm and how do i use it ? to flash these gb files
What rom you have? Also what kernel? Cuz for some reason I get the feeling you have a froyo rom and you wanna push gingerbread stuff on it.

lol i aint that much of a noob i got jvb xee rooted cr root applied lagfix
but i want the nexus s notification bar and the crt off animation i have all the files
Ok, I guess you mean CF root. So just go into his CWM app. And reboot into CWM (recovery). There go into install zip > choose zip from sd card etc. And choose the zip containing the theme you want. Do a backup before cuz you might screw up on the files (there arent so many themes for JVK and are there any for JVB?)
What I did was to install Ramads deodexed rom (disable the "lagfix"). And then ocks deodexed theme for JVK. Links are in my signature (first row).
I dont like someone saying lagfix . There is no lag to fix. You just change the fs to something else (maybe better in some ways)
lol thanks
Hello All,
This is my first post! But I have been visitor of this forum for some time now. Its been a great learning experience! OK ...let me come straight to the point..
Important Phone Specs:
-Samsung Captivate with stock ATT froyo (UCKB1)
-rooted, installed one-click lag fix (other minor things, like removed all bloatware, overclocked etc.)
I am planning on changing the icons in the notification bar (for example battery icon mod) using UOT (ultimate online theme kitchen) and I have the UOT zip file ready.
Q1. It is not clear if this zip file can be flashed from the stock recovery mode.
Per my understanding, these are unsigned files and hence might not work with stock recovery mode. Can some one please confirm?
Q2. If stock recovery mode does not work, then I plan to install clockwork mod recovery from the ROM Manager apk available on the market.
a) Since I will be using a custom recovery image, I assume I will no longer be able to use KIES to perform any stock updates if and when they become available. Is that correct?
b) How easy is it to revert back to stock recovery? Can you please let me know the procedure (or) point me to a link with this information?
The reason I ask is because I would like to stay stock as much as I can for the moment.
Thanks all for your help.
Regards.
I have used the UOT kitchen zips on stock KB1 but not with the stock recovery. I think you have to use CWM recovery. There's really no reason to go back to stock recovery. If you ever want to use Kies in the future to get updates (assuming ATT ever releases GB through Kies), you would have to flash back to stock anyway for Kies to recognize the phone.
Jackman,
Thanks for the response. I agree with you. I am not hopeful that ATT would release GB any time soon for captivate...so yeah I makes sense to go ahead with the CWM recovery.
I just wanted to know the pros and cons before I get started with the process.
read the how to flash custom roms link in my sig. new user guide too, find the part about stickies.
#1 correct.
#2 rom manager is only good for froyo roms on captivate... there are froyo kernels with CWM built in and tweaked that run fine on stock roms, but you must Odin flash the kernel.... which leads to...
#3 keis is garbage we use odin, the official samsung flasher utility. and we flash the same .tar files keis uses.
#4 easy to get back to stock. odin-one-click stock flashes are ONE CLICK. Sticky in Captivate Dev section. (use new user guide to find.)
Kies is trash. Even if you go back o stock, you probably need to modify code to make sure your phone's ID is still the correct one. It really isn't worth it considering Kies is just ODIN with a different UI and a craptistic amount of "checks" wich makes it fail 90% of the time.
I hardly ever have problems with odin. odin 1.3 sucked 1.5and newer work great. the homemade one clicks can be buggy. md5 check wont let you edit file names of tars. other than that i DONT have problems. its all i use. dont like heimdall and having to change my drivers for it.
I have not flashed a ROM yet, but when I do how would I go back to stock? I made a CWM backup of being stock rooted, but I want to know of another way to go back. When I had the AT&T Galaxy S2, all I had to do was flash the tar file in Odin. I searched the development section and only found modified KJ4(2.3.5) and KKA(2.3.6) ROMs. I have the Polish Note if that matters.
Edit: I think I may have found the right way to go back to stock KKA. Just by placing the stock zimage using Chanfires method ^_^
Edit2: Meh figured it out

Get the stock rom and reflash it.

Yeah I definitely know that part, I'm more concerned about the way of doing it.
I heard that flashing through Odin would cause the yellow triangle as it would set off the flash counter... Can please you link me to the stock ROM that is flashable through Odin if this isn't the case? OR an alternative method besides the one I posted above.
I do in fact have tha same questions. I even went off topic in a ROM release thread about it.
I'm a longtime HTC user and with long time i mean since like 2002ish. I have no fear to mess around with HTC stuff since I know my way around and know exactly how to brick it, if I really want to ;-)
Things look different with the Note thought. The recovery doesnt stick but is kernel dependant, Odin seems to be similar to HBOOT but shouldn't be used since it tells Sammy what one did to its device. Flashing can be done by this that or another way, it all looks so weird and chaotic to a HTC camper... lol.

Cheers guys for the great info .
ive been following this thread for a while now , and i would like to suggest to the experts , if possible , to make a full step by step guide for how to revert to stock (including the whole stock kernel re-flashing process for different note models) bcos to be honest , i think many of us have this same question and are hesitated as the whole process sounds confusing.
i could be one of them as this is my first samsung device , coming from HTC Desire HD ,where flashing and development for samsung devices (as far as i know) is quite different from that on HTC devices.
Thank you again for the efforts , would be highly appreciated to get that guide post up.

Yeah he did update it. That's where I got the idea about just using Chainfire's Initial Root Flasher and placing the zImage in that folder. On the bottom of the OP, he put
Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
I you have Just rooted only but not added CWM - Just Download this Extract - Execute - Rum Me unroot.bat
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool.

i have afew questions about that ,
where and how can i find the specific zimage for my device ? i understood that its in a compressed file extracted with 7-zip , but how can i get that compressed file ?
also , what if i had another type of ROM installed (NON stock) , how can i flash the original stock rom back (since i will not be be rooted, wont be able to restore NAND backups)??!
in HTC devices (i had Desire HD) , reverting to stock rom is simplified by flashing the "RUU" files , which were found in a dedicated thread.
This whole samsung diferences is really confusing me
thanks alot for any help.
cheers.

This is my ass-umption as I am still waiting for other responses as well.
In order to revert to stock you have to download the Initial Flasher.zip from Chainfire.
Then download your Kernel from the first page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 The zImage is taken from extracting your Kernel, whether it be KK1, KJ4, KKA, etc...
You place that zImage in the files folder and click "already-rooted.bat" *if you are coming from another ROM.*
Once that is done, you run the unrooting tool from Doomlord.
This method may work if you are able to access your device. As in your Android OS is up and running. What about a bootloop on a ROM/Kernel without a custom recovery built in confused. How would you go on from here?
On a part-bricked or bootlooping or otherwise fukkered HTC I would fire up my (bien sure as first thing) flashed ENG HBOOT, put it in FASTBOOT mode and simply a) fastboot boot c:\path\to\file\recovery.img or b) fastboot flash recovery c:\path\to\file\recovery.img and done. No brick from here, bc I a) always can restore a nandroid from here or b) always have a ROM ready on the SD or I could put it there using the mount usb option in the recovery, or heck, even by ADB PUSH. But on a Samsung...
Hello,
first a brief intro...i am not an android developer but I am a user and I love the OS.
However i have had a little trouble with the small issue of backing up stock ROM so that i can have the freedom to tinker with any custom ROM possible knowing that i can always fall back to my stock ROM if I don't like anything or something doesn't work.
I have the original ROM so i can flash it back whenever but not everyone has access to their stock ROM. so you must make a choice that once you flash a custom ROM, you cant go back.
So i am calling out to all the nice developers in the house...
1. Is this possible. is there a way one can do a backup of the stock ROM in the galaxy mini?
2. If its not possible at the moment, is there anyone willing to work towards ensuring its possible?
Like I said, I am not a developer but i could help in any little way i can to work with any willing developer towards achieving this.
Thanks.
yess is possible to backup your rom juste install ROM MANAGER and clic on backup is simple you can find it on android marcket ^^
I would not personally suggest Rom Manager since there are a lot of cases here that it bricked the phone. It is possible to backup your stock rom with cwm recovery. The problem is it can't be restored via the same recovery. This is a limitation of cwm. So Odin is still the best option to restore stock roms.. I do hope that restoring stock roms can be made possible thru cwm..

I have tried ROM manager and it doesnt even recognize the cmw recovery already installed. it requests to install a custom recovery and the SGM isnt listed among the supported devises so that wount work.

Have you actually backed up your stock rom using cwm?I have tried and each time i get an error that it couldnt mount the /system. And am seeking assistance to develop a means to back up and restore Stock ROMs in SGM.
with custom kernel with suport ext4 and convert rfs partition to ext4 partition you can backup your stock rom.
only need flash custom kernel. after that you can backup the rom.
galaxy S user have CF-root kernel for each rom. CF-root do this and root your phone and install CWR.
but for mini no any CF-root kernel
.i have changed my CWM by another one find here with godell thread I use "CWM5028.zip"
Dude, don't you try Rom Manager, it may brick your phone. CWM can't make stock rom backups as far as I know.

to make the backup of stock rom recovery is needed to be modded for work on bml partition layout it should also be compatible with rfs partitions
