Ive recently flashed the 2.3.3 I9000 gingerbread bootloaders. Am I foolish to assume that I can now flash not only Captivate roms but galaxy s I9000 roms as well?

I9000 roms will require a captivate kernel for proper button mapping and orientation

I've been running Talon kernels since I first got root. Can you recommend a good Captivate kernel that will work with the I9000 roms?
Sent from my GT-I9000
Talon should do, obviously gb version

I tried to flash an I9000 jvr rom and the home button fix didn't work. So I flashed a talon kernel and got a soft brick. Flashed back to stock. Will have to try a diff kernel?

The ROM u r talking about comes with a kernel for captivate. You dont need to flash any fix on top of it. With that said you can flash I9000 roms that have been redone for captivate and which are present in Captivate Android Development and not Galaxy S Android Development

That was my original question. If any I9000 Rom would work now or if it had to be captivate specific.

Btw Watsa,
I just flashed Apex 9.0 JVR yesterday and haven't had a single issue. Very nicely done.

I wanted to test out some 19000 roms. so i installed the 19000 reoriented kernel and loaded Juwe's Smart Edition V.5 Rom and Darky's Extreme Edition v10.1 Rom. I noticed that they are very lagy, is this normal because i have a captivate trying to run a 19000 rom? Has anyone else tried the 19000 roms on there captivate? Have you had the lagging?
Thanks!
Personally I stay away from the 19000 ROMs because they're obviously created for I9000 phones.
Go with anything Team Phoenix makes and you'll be happy!
Nearly every rom on the forum is based on a i9000 build including team phoenix

Yeah, but don't they edit them for our Captivates?

Haven't had any major problems running I9000 roms. Little things like the SGS camera app being built for a front-facing camera phone but nothing major. Cappy's are essentially the same anyway just in a different package...
None the less he use I9000 roms that have been modified for Captivate not pure i9000 roms. The biggest difference between I9000 roms and I897 is I897 have the audio chip support (i9000 dont) but I9000 have Hsupa support. Well thats what Ive noticed.
But a 1900 rom would not load and would probably brick our phones without being modded for captivates. so thats as close as captivates can get to an 1900

that statement is not entirely true. You can have an unmodded I9000 ROM running on captivate, but screen orientation will go places, home will act as back button etc But pure I9000 roms cannot brick your phone

Exactly, all you need to add on top of a i9000 rom is a reoriented kernel if you want the buttons and orientation to be proper.
And if you bring Gingerbread into the picture, your talking about new bootloaders.

I'd come off that firmware first as its your service providers own, flash JVH, JVP, JVB any of them, then flash galaxian kernel, and you should be fine bud

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.

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.

No. I've stayed on i9000 GB bootloaders and flashed Captivate ROMs; they work fine.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
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.

Is there a kernel that is able to overclock my cpu, that is safe to flash on my Serendipity 7 flashed Captivate? I searched all around the forum, but I could not find a direct answer. I want to be 100% sure which one is safe to flash, before I just go and flash one that I think is okay, then ends up bricking my phone. Can anyone help me please? It would be much appreciated.

A kernel flash will only give you a soft brick if it messes up. I would assume it works with a kernel appropriate for that version of Android
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
Oh okay cool. I do have a user jig handy, so a soft brick wouldn't be a big deal. So it doesn't matter what one I flash? Or just keep flashing different ones until I find one that works? Lol.

Assuming Serendipity 7 is GB
Flash Corn Kernel 6 and KK4 modem.
Or another combination - see Apex ROM site for kernels/modems.
Thank you! I'll look into that soon.
