It has been mentioned on a few 2.3.4 dev threads that Fugu root method for KF1 works. Only after flashing the fugu root you flash the KH3 kernel not the KF1

Can u link me to it ???
thanks

That would help more if it was an actual link...lemme guess you did that from the app? You have to type the url bbc code in manually.

^ Thanks. And I noticed on the app settings, that I didn't have the "Enable BBCode" checked.
And back on topic... I used FuguRoot. It only took a few minutes and is super easy.

Fugu not working
For some reason, this happens when I try to use fugu:
I flash fugu onto the phone, phone reboots, and I get the fugufish image. Horrifying, by the way.
I flash the stock 2.3.4 kernel onto the phone, and I get the fugu fish image still... ODIN is saying it is working perfectly fine, yet it's obviously not. The only way I can get 2.3.4 to work on my cappy is when I use the md5 2.3.4 file to get GB onto the phone, but that overwrites junk (and it doesn't keep root).
Odd thing is I flashed over to 2.3.4 from a rooted 2.2 kernel and I lost root (guessing that's normal). Any ideas on how to fix this problem (like, do I actually have to close ODIN in between flashing the 2 kernels)?
Thanks in advance!

You are mixing something up. It should work. Try another stock or cwm kernel.

Ok I'll try the 2.3.3 kernel and see if that works....

2.3.3 kernel will probably give u issues on kh3

2.3.3 kernel would load onto the phone, but then the phone would boot into 2.3.3, and then phone would get locked up... not asking for a password, it would just freeze. I was able to verify it was rooted though. Other than that, no clue. flashing with the 2.3.4 md5 I have now. Something isn't right.

Yeah it did. On the site there's a KH3 (2.3.4) stock kernel listed. I flashed that one. That's the one that's for some reason not overwriting fugu. I'm beginning to wonder if the 2.3.4 kernel listed on the other page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17471081&postcount=289) is screwed up I'll just sit tight with not rooted phone for now. Other option I guess is drop back to KH1?

Here
Boog's KH3 kernel
Red Nebula
Both should work hell I think Boog's has a root scrip on it (never used it).

Or...flash a damn custom ROM that's already rooted and ready to fuggin go!

^ That too, I just assumed dude wanted stock.

goal was to keep stock... Though that one that was suggested (boog KH3) seems close enough.....
Also thinking going cyanogen7... *shrug*

the new super one click should do it. it does for kk4

since when has SuperOneClick worked on stock Samsung GB ROMS?

[Q] Questions about 2.2 stock

I recently just flashed a new rom and I had realized I never tried the stock 2.2 from samsung and I was wondering what people thought of it and if they were still able to flash other roms or use odin to go back to stock 2.1 and then flash other roms again. Or does updating to 2.2 mess up some of that?
And is it even worth it to try and check it out?
I am running serendipity and my wife has stock. I would not go back to stock if att were to pay me. Her Gps was messed up, bad battery life and other strange issues.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
the only thing 2.2 may mess up for flashing roms is it installs 3e recovery which needs signed update.zip packages (can be patched ) , and sometimes you need a new root program.
besides that its... stock. with the 2.2 updates...
Has anyone tried reflashing odin or using clockwork/rooting in 2.2?
I'm thinking i'm going to stay away from it at this point but curiosity my get the best of me....

[Q] DarkyRom 10.2 RE Issues/Question

Hey Guys,
I have a couple of questions in regards to going back to stock from DarkyROM 10.2.
After using 10.2 for about a month now, I have noticed that while the rom is fast, There are quite alot of glitches in my day to day operations. My 3D HD games no longer work smoothly (as they did in 2.3.3 with CWM), the phone will randomly freeze up when using the browser/gallery/calender etc. After multiple re-flashes I am coming to the conclusion that to get back to my original performance I may need to flash a stock JVQ and then mayby just us CF ROOT or something of the like to get CWM access.
My question is, what preparations need to be done before preforming this flash. Also, can the stock files be flashed with ODIN? Also, if anyone has any input on why DARKYROM 10.2 seems to have these issues, please feel free to let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!
Phone Specs:
Samsung Galaxy Vibrant (i9000m)
DarkyRom 10.2 RE -w- KC1 Modem
Only Mod preformed after flashing RE was updating the SMS application to the SGS2 App to restore the chat bubble colors. The issues were present before this update. Did the update through DarkyRom Tool.
If you guys need any more information, just let me know..
Anyone??????
Alright, I'll take this one if no one else will. I too have the i9000m, and have learned all I can about keeping it alive and well. Going back to stock is easy. Go to general and look for the stock firmware thread. You will get instructions there on how to flash with odin. I've never used darky before but I did use CM7 and flashed back no problem. You could also look for Ramad's prerooted roms. I'm running one right now, UGKG3. Works great as I couldn't root it myself.

Hey Dude, Thanks alot for your response! One more question before making the switch....Should the voodoo lag fix that comes with Darky 10.2 be disabled before flashing with Odin back to stock?
If you want to go back to stock ROM. Before flashing disable the lagfix (for safe). You can download the firmware from www.samfirmware.com. and its an odin base installation.
Post your problem in www.darkyrom.com some expert will help you...
Hey guys.
I have flashed stock ROM (2.3.4) via Odin and worked absolutely fine. Didn't need to fiddle with the lagfix or anything. Simply popped phone into DOWNLOAD mode and flashed (with re-partition/wipe and backing up "stuff" beforehand).
The lagfix menu I think, is in the RECOVERY mode in the extended power options menu. I think thats the CWM with the DarkyROM maybe? Either way, you can enable/disable the lagfix in that menu.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Official Rogers Gingerbread 2.3.3 root?

Well today I flashed back to stock 2.2 and updated Through Kies trying to get my GPS working, to my surprise I ended up with UXKH2 Gingerbread 2.3.3. I Haven't heard that Rogers/Samsung pushed the update for Captivate yet. I Tried rooting with Superoneclick but was unable to. So i tried Designgears auto root for UCKF1 but that didn't work either and soft bricked me, so now I'm back on stock Froyo. Any ideas how to root Gingerbread 2.3.3? I'm a CM7 user but would like to stay on the official Gingerbread bootloaders for easy testing .
Fugumod, its a kernel swap method, but you will need to somehow back up the kernel you have now, do that street rooting you can flash back to it.

I'm setup to dump and create my own odin tars to dump my kernel, but I need root to do it. Maybe I'm missing something here. I've only been modding android for a few weeks now.

Damn Swype. After rooting. The fugu kernel won't actually let the phone completely boot up. You need a kernel to flash afterward.

Update without flash back to stock?

Hi, i'm new to all of this flashing stuff. I'm running CM7 on my captivate and i was just wondering if GB for it came out for it, would i have to flash back to stock before i can update or can i just update out of CM7? While i was trying to flash this CM7 i had problems and had to keep on flashing back to the stock rom(2.1) and when i ever i tried to do a upgrade on kies the phone wouldn't sync because it would just keep crashing.
CM7 is GB. The only ROM you could flash would be MIUI without going back to stock.

Like said you can only flash MIUI. Everything else needs to flash back to a stock because you need to repartition your phone. Gingerbread has not been released officially for I897 but it has for I896. Though none official there are a ton of Gingerbread leaks on the dev section.

Why do you want to sync on 2.1? If you are going to flash a GB rom.

I'm already flashed on CM7. But I'm just wondering when the official At&t GB update comes out for the Captivate, i wanna know how i would update to it. Wanna just try it out. And whenever i did the one click restore and go back to 2.1 it would never let me sync with kies.

You might be able to update straight from CM7 and do just fine. However, I would advise and I think others would too, to flash back to stock using odin one click. Have all of your stuff backed up externally, run a master clear, and then attempt the update. This is a surefire way to have nothing go wrong as you are coming from factory software.
Reboot your PC and try Kies again. And I think its Kies Mini that does the update not the full Kies program. But its not a special process. They walk you through it and if you can flash a custom rom you will have no problem with the kies mini process.
att gingerbread isnt officially out and YEAH right they would ever give a date....
also dont use keis for anything keis sucks!. use xda site. read xda site. read new user guide (below). read STICKES (explained in guide).
flash back to 2.1 ( or any stock with .pit file or "one-click odin" stock flash)
odin flash (NOT one click) gingerbread bootloaders (find in dev section of captivate)
odin flash (NOT one click) a kernel with cwm built in
cwm flash ANY captivate rom from dev section

cm7 uses a different partitioning table. STOCK IS A MUST to go backagain KIES IS ****
there are odin one- clicks for 2.1 2.2 and kf1 2.3.3 leak
DONT USE KEIS NO REASON TO IT SUCKS BALLS
This guy seems a little new to the scene so I wasnt going to throw him into the Odin stuff just yet. Its good to know about and while kies isnt the best it is the factory software and is easy for new people to use.
Doesn't matter if he is new. He decided to use CM7 and/or MIUI you NEED to repartition your phone. Kies is just a different UI ODIN with alot of extra checks that are useless. If he wants to move back to I897 roms or to I9000 ports he has no choice on the matter. But like everything else always a good idea t have a Jig just in case and try to use packages that DO NOT include bootloaders when ever possible (not sure if you need to flash bootloaders if you partition)

You should not need to flash bootloaders if the only thing you are doing is going from CM7 to stock based GB ROM. And I believe GB bootloaders are backwards compatible to 2.2.
OP, since you are on CM7, you WILL need to flash back to stock in order to get back to Samsung ROMs, as the phone must be repartitioned.

OP didn't indicate whether he has installed i9k GB at any point; to be 100% correct:
If OP flashed CM7 straight from Eclair/Froyo, he will need to flash GB bootloaders for a Galaxy S device.
IF OP has previously flashed i9k or i897 leaked GB, then he does not need to flash new bootloaders ever again.

UPDATE... Again, thanks BWolf56!
AT&T Captivate on FROYO 2.2. OneClickRoot, CWM Recovery V2.5.1.2
Did ROM backup, TiBu backup, EFS, APN, Contacts etc
Installed/Flashed:
ROM X-Bean1.1 base.zip
gapps-jb-2012101-signed.zip
Semaphore_jb_2.0.3c.zip
landscape_fix.zip
Phone booted up fine initially, would always revert to landscape view, back button was now the home button.
Could not find any of my backups. "UI" kept crapping out; "Unfortunately UI is not responding" Think that's what it said!
Had to click OK and it was back until i touched anything and kept happening...
Did Advanced Restore -> CWM Recovery of: System, Data, Cache, ext/sd
Phone rebooted.... Stuck on AT&T logo screen, charging pinwheel shows but doesn't move.
Cannot get into recovery.. managed to get into "dowload mode"
tried i897UCJF6-final-OCD-REVO.zip loaded on computer, phone connected in download mode,
loaded PIT file only as the zip had no PAD file....... NO SUCCESS
If I proceeded in a NOOB fashion, it's because I am so I'll take my licks Lol
Any help would be appreciated!
Figured it best to just get back to stock 2.2, maybe even earlier since I wouldn't have the 3e recovery
problem not being able to install from OTHER sources. Then TRY again after brushing up!!!!!!!!

Did you flash a I9000 ROM? If so, you need the I9000 bootloaders.
Also to downgrade android version, you have to use Odin (i suggest kk4 without bootloaders if you already have the gb ones, which can be found in the stickies).
Make sure you follow the full instructions next time to avoid issues like that.

Ahhh, fello Canadian i see!
You may be correct thinking i have I9000 "JB"? bootloaders!, in the original
thread : Aceofspades replied to a member question stating: "Port means that this
rom is originally made for i9000 and made it to work for captivate."
Should I assume I've flashed an I9000 Rom? and now have JB bootloader?
Thinking back, I did not wipe before going back and using recovery! Not sure that was the problem
but it was on reboot after restoring CWM/system. data. cache etc that the phone rebooted and ended up
in a continual cycling of the ATT logo screen!
Big question now is how do I do to remedy my situation!!
NOTE...I have made a JIG and can get into "download Mode" now
From this point on I'll document my every move in order to be able to provide
the exact procedure I went through... might be more helpful !!
I know I know... NOOB! Lol
PS, is an alternative to use Kies Mini and update to Gingerbread?

Ahhh, fello Canadian i see!
You may be correct thinking i have I9000 "JB"? bootloaders!, in the original
thread : Aceofspades replied to a member question stating: "Port means that this
rom is originally made for i9000 and made it to work for captivate."
Should I assume I've flashed an I9000 Rom? and now have JB bootloader?
Thinking back, I did not wipe before going back and using recovery! Not sure that was the problem
but it was on reboot after restoring CWM/system. data. cache etc that the phone rebooted and ended up
in a continual cycling of the ATT logo screen!

First thing: don't use kies at all!
There are no JB bootloaders for the cappy, just eclair, froyo and GB. If the ROM is a port, you'll most likely have to flash the I9000 gb bootloaders but I'd suggest finding another ROM to start with (like CM). Playing with bootloaders is the only thing that will make your phone a paper weight if something goes wrong.
Also, bootloaders aren't included in roms for safety measures. That being said, you can run ICS and JB roms just fine with the GB bootloaders.
As for what comes next. Perhaps use Odin to flash stock kk4 without bootloaders, from there flash corn kernel (once again with Odin) and give CM a whirl following their full flashing instructions. (Which can be found both in their thread and website)

Understood... NO KIES
Sorry but a little confused still...
Do I Odin flash KK4 w/o bootloaders first -> flash corn kernal with Odin -> then flash a CM ROM using their procedure?
Where in the sequence is "flash I9000 bootloaders?
* No luck finding Odin w/o bootloaders yet, outdated download sites. Will search through xda again.
Noted! "There are no JB bootloaders for the cappy, just eclair, froyo and GB." (I was originally ATT captivate on FROYO 2.2)

I might be a little hazy on the order of your suggestions so thanks for the patience!
GREATLY APPRECIATING YOUR EFFORTS!!

For now, forget about the I9000 bootloaders.
Here's KK4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
During your flashing, did you ever flash the GB bootloaders? If not, get the version with bootloaders and make the the flashing isnt't interrupted.
And yeah, from there you got it right, corn kernel; and follow their full flashing instructions.

* I haven't knowingly flashed GB bootloaders.
* I've been all over the link you provided... no working downloads.
Hmmm, I did try "Odin" a couple of times to get the GingerBread update...After doing that my phone now
boots to the AT&T logo, goes black for a sec and a screen like a bad tv signal comes up! Also, the phone
is now charging and showing the big battery icon! I seem to recall reading somewhere that if that happens
it may be wrong bootloaders? Can't remember exactly what it said but am I correct thinking it was one of
your own replies to another member?
Anyway, done for the night Grrrr
Thanks so much!
Here is a post with a pic about the screen u r seeing. Pixelated screen means u don't have the GB bootloaders... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33227557&postcount=2
And i am currently in the process of uploading my Odin and Heimdall Stock KK4 One Clicks. Gonna be using MediaFire. Will post when all uploads are done and new links attached to my post #3 in the Stock Rom stickied thread in the Development forum...

Appreciate you taking the time to reply! The images you displayed are exactly what I am seeing..
Links aren't good forever, i realize that just hard to believe I hadn't found them ANYWHERE yet! Lol
PS ************
* Have since got GB Bootloaders and added thru Odin3 v1.70.. PDA.tar.md5
* Now able to get into recovery mode by 3-button, shows 3e recovery, have ability to install from sdcard,
wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.
* I have an "update.zip" on there but can't remember what it's for so I didn't do it...
but still no UI coming up, just the AT&T logo which cycles ON/OFF
Am I still in the same boat... needing KK4 Odin flash, after doing that will i be able to copy
a KK4 ROM zip to my phone thru PC and flash from the phone?

KK4 is a one click Odin.
From there, you'll have to use Odin 1.85 or 1.87 to flash Corn kernel to be able to flash your way up to CM.

Hey there!
* 4-2ndtwin chimed in and said he would post when he uploaded them.
Been looking in the meantime.
* I have both Odin versions, now understand that I can use Odin to flash any file I choose, such as the Corn kernal, not just files it may come with.
* I downloaded a "Stocki897uckk4-zImage.tar, unzipping shows "zImage" file but I
haven't touched it.
Just hanging in for a working link for the Odin KK4 One-Click I guess...
Question!!!
For clarification..Odin KK4 One-Click is just bootloaders, kernal and maybe modem, right? It's not going to give me a working ROM...OR, is it ALSO an alternative way to flash a ROM when I can't add a ROM zip to my phone thru my PC to flash?
Lol... I'll get a handle on this, more of a visual type
As usual, appreciate the help!
Stock KK4 Links up.

Still browsing ROMS...
Should I be bothered rooting yet? Not sure if I'll just have to do it again after a ROM switch?
Any suggestions for a root utility?

I suggest you start with CM.
As for rooting, you can get it directly on the store now (was recently made legal). I believe it's by chainfire. But do you need it atm?
Also, all custom roms come pre-rooted.
