I'm running the stock Gingerbread I got from Odin one click on my captivate. I really want to enable HSUPA, but I don't have the skills you guys have, and it seems you have to make a lot of changes to the phone and use an i9000 Rom. Is there an Odin one click out there that will just flash everything, or is there a step by step guide somewhere? As I said, sorry if I sound dumb, but I'm not used to doing all the steps that seem to be needed.
Yes you need an. I9000 modem /kernel combination to enable hspa its only a couple of steps to install read the I9000 rom ops they should all have instructions on how to flash them...which usually consists of a full version of odin flash to stock gingerbread, an odin flash of a re oriented kernel with cwm baked in it, and then finally the rom flash in cwm...
But at this point, just flash a kernel with odin that has cwm and then flash an I9000 rom in recovery since you already have gingerbread bootloaders...
Cool. Can I get the right thread link?
Go to the mosaic thread, post 2 has all the instructions and files you need.

The instructions are fairly clear, but if you have something you're stuck on go to the Mosaic thread in the Q&A section. Make sure you understand what you need to do before you try to flash. A lot of folks get into trouble by trying it before they understand.
But as Studacris said, the tread post has all you'll need
Enjoy!
Did it! I'm free of ATT! The stock ginger is fine for me! The speed is much better! Only 3 things.
1. Is there a fix for the home button?
2. No more USB mass storage mode?
3. How to root.
I'm not going to mess with any custom roms yet. I'm very, very happy.
Found the home button fix! Clockwork mod is great! As are these forums!
settings, wireless and networks, usb mode, usb mass storage
flash the attached to root, assuming you have flashed a reoreinted kernel with cwm baked in
Hi,
I followed the instructions for the HSUPA, and nothing seems to be broken, but my question is.... is there anything i can see in the settings of the phone that show the dl of the I9000 kernel took?
Thanks,
I love all the work everyone does!
Installed the Reoriantated I9000. Rooted. Then, installed the kc1 modem, or, as I am now fondly calling it, the modem on crack. . HOLY ****! Getting like 2MB down and 1.5MB up. Before, about 512k down and like 30k up! ATT is an absolute disgrace for what they did to this wonderful phone. It doesn't even seem like the same phone anymore. More responsive in every way, no bloatware, and almost 4G like internet! Seriously, non-Iphone users should band together for a class action lawsuit. We shouldn't have to go through this Hell to make hardware work the way it was meant to.
Too tired to mess with other roms, but sure as hell used clockwork to back this one up! Thanks for all the help and patience again.
Oh, one last thing. I have the Odin one click for ATT stock. If I ever need warranty, will that one flash bring everything back to the ATT garbage?
Yes it will
I get 5 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up

I am running Continuum V5 RC3. Obviously I have CWM3 and the GB bootloaders. My questions are and Im looking for detail if you have it.....
1) Continuum thread lists one of the safe ways to go back to stock as
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
this doesnt contain the GB or Froyo bootloaders so what is the deal with running froyo OS and the GB bootloaders? Is this perfectly safe meaning now that I am on GB bootloaders I should never have to concern myself with bootloaders again (until the next OS comes out) and I can use these bootloaders for GB and Froyo?
2) If I want to change to CM7, would I need to flash back to the old bootloaders or would the current bootloaders be ok?
3) CMW v3 versus v2.5...is there any reason to care? I realize that the scripts themselves are different but I havent seen this so far as anything but an inconvience.
Anyone?

Ok so I was looking into methods on how to speed up my captivate and OCLF came up. I did it and it worked great but as I read on , many said to not use it as it was outdated. Is there something similar that uses a faster file system that I can use? Stock 2.2, Rooted
Eh. Maybe...
If you want really fast speed and dont mind flashing, i would flash firefly 3.0, its pretty safe just make sure you have 100% charge when you do it. Then get the OC/UV kernal onix 2.0.5 and boot into recovery and change the file system to ext4...
Any questions? Make another post here i've already done this and can help you out.
I'm kind of hesitant on flashing a rom :/ is there any other way to do it?
Voodoo lagfix doesn't have a fix for froyo yet. Got any love for flashing a kernal?
The extisz Kernal would be for you It has the Voodoo Fixes and everything. You would just need to get the modded 3e recovery and then get CWM and flash the .zip you can download from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988805
You could always go back to JF6 and mod everything on it, and voodoo would work on that
OR you could just do OCLF its going to be a little increase, not much because the filesystem changes to ext2 not ext4, voodoo does ext4 which is faster
Search for any KB1 kernel in the Dev section. If you want you stay as true to stock as possible, use Supercurio's stock KB1 + Voodoo kernel. It's nothing fancy, but it works really well with stock KB1.
Existz's KB1 kernel is also good. Overstock KB1 1.3 is another.
Sorry for the really nooby question but what is a kernel? And if I flashed a rom or a kernel how would I get back to stock if I ever wanted to? Also does my data carry over from rom to rom?

In short, the kernel is what talks to the phone and how fast it functions. If you flashed a ROM or kernel you could get back to stock by using the Odin one-click downloader, and yes your data carries over. You will not loose data unless the modem you are using for a paticular ROM is not very good in your area...which can also be swapped out for a better one.
But you should really read some of the helpful guides about flashing ROMs.. it will answer a lot of your questions, and future questions
Lol, he wasn't talking about internet data, yes your data can be backed up and restored rom to rom with an app called titanium backup.

Its all user preference. While I can say this is the fastest ROM my phone has ever run someone else could say the same about the ROM they are running. Best bet is to try them for yourself and make a decision based on what YOU like.

Unless otherwise specified in the rom thread, all you have to do is go into recovery, delete cache and dalvic cache and delete user data. Then just flash the rom you want... I don't know what kernel serendipity comes with but you might need to disable lagfix if it is enabled depending on what rom you are moving to.

The serendipity kernel is based on xcaliberhands kernel. If you are going to another rom with that kernel just flash away. If you are going to a rom with the talon kernel you need to turn off the lag fix first and then flash then turn it on after. Turning on and off your lag fix always works best if you use the advanced features in CWM. I have gone from cog 5 to serendipity 7 to mosaicV to serendipity 6.4 and back to mosaicV, and have not needed to go to stock. Gonna give Darky rom a try when I'm done posting. I should be able to just flash right over no problems because the kernels are the same darkcore. Just verify if lag fix is on or off in CWM. Also check which version of CWM the kernel uses. With sgs kernel flasher you can and a little finess you can avoid odin all together.

If I want to go back to froyo can I just flash it like I normally would or is there something else I need to do? I'm using i9000 gb bootloaders by the way.
you must have a way to get froyo/eclair bootloaders onto your phone. The most common way, that has always worked for me is Odin3 1click. It will take you back to stock 2.1 eclair, then you can flash froyo roms without issue. (don't use the 3-button fix version - you will brick)
search before you post though. you may have a moderator on you about this. This information is all over these threads. Good luck.

I get awesome service with pinnacle. Im ready to give CM a shot again, but would like to use the same modem, if its possible.
If not, whats a similar modem? (prob a dumb question) My dad lives near the beach, and with pinnacle, my phone works like it does anywhere else. Last time i used apex and cm, and the service was awful when i was there.
Pinnacle uses kjX and you cannot use it on cm7 because of CM7 uses different types and configurations of modems

Partially true. You can't flash that KJ3 specifically but you can flash the KJ3 made for CM7

Well that was unnecessary. I do read: I read your comment, thought "Wow, that's something I didn't know, I didn't think you could do that." Then I then spent 10 minutes reading posts from people, both on this forum and others, saying what I had previously thought, which was that you can flash that modem on CM7 but that the call quality sucked. Obviously I'm missing something, so I figured I'd ask for clarification.
That's how people learn. Just not from you apparently.

Thanks. I always thought they were just packaged differently for CM, I didn't know that they were actually different somehow.
I do help people, people that try hard before they give up... You are correct about them just being packaged differently, if you want a modem from a stock ROM, then just drop the modem.bin in the zip replacing the other. IT WILL WORK LIKE THAT

I still couldn't find anywhere that supported that i897 modems will work on CM7 without static, so I just downloaded KJ3 from the link above and flashed it. Data works fine, signal strength is good, incoming audio is alright, but the outgoing audio is static-y. Not as bad as I would have expected, you can usually make out what is being said, but far from stellar.
lourivellini, by all means try it, it definitely won't break anything.

How much static are we talking about? If the person on the other side cant hear me, ill probably just try something else.
Im on CM7 now, and i think my signal has been slightly worse, but im primarily concerned with the standby battery drain. Im thinking it might be because of the modem, but who knows.

Give it a try and decide for yourself. It won't break anything and you can always flash something different if you don't like it.
Modems definitely do affect battery life, so just try a variety of them and find one that works well for you. JK4, KG3, JJJV5, JJJW2, KC1, and ZNKP1 have all worked well for me, but it depends a lot on where you live.

Going to try it out tonight. Is flashing a modem as easy as just booting into the recovery and flashing the zip file?
Thinking back to the last time i used CM. I remember using a different phone for a few days, but leaving cm on my phone and using it without a sim in it.
Without the sim, The standby drain was normal, or very close to normal. With the SIM in, there was a big difference, and the 5+ percent drain per hour continued. It was connected to wifi the whole time in both cases.
This makes me think the modem might be the problem. I just dont get why im having such a bad time with the stock CM modem and other people are fine with it. Could it have anything to do with the way i flashed the phone?
This is my method:
Coming from pinnacle 1.2
deleted all stuff off of SD
used jig to get in dl mode
flashed back to stock jf6 with one click
Enabled debugging
signed in to google
downloaded rom manager
**from rom manager, i first flashed samsung galaxy captivate clockworkmod
(theres no recovery installed, i need to install this first because i can choose mtd)
then i choose captivate mtd 2.xx
place cm nightly and gapps on sd card
reboot into recovery
install zip > select rom
once thats done then i flash gapps
Not running any crazy apps fyi.
Should i try a new modem, or a new kernel first? and what is the stock kernel if i have to go back.
Thanks again!
