[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.

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

Which Bootloader froyo or gingerbread

Hello all,
I am running now MIUI 1.9.2 Android version 2.3.5.
i want to install a custom kernel but forgot which bootloader i started from..
Froyo or Gingerbread? How can we know?
OR how can we get a gingerbread bootloader without wiping everything?
thx in advance!

You don't have to wipe anything.. just flash bootloader using Odin...you can download gingerbread bootloaders from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16374373&postcount=70 ... having gingerbread bootloaders is better

Thankyou guys. Wanted to know when flashing XXJVU over XXJPK cause any problems or not? I.e. Bricking or failure in flashing?

( .. Flashing from 2.2 to 2.3.6 will cause any problems? And flashing kernel is also necessary?

I didn't flash to 2.3.6 from froyo. I let kies to update from froyo to gingerbread (2.3.3 or 2.3.4 i belive). After that i flashed cf root from chainfire to have root and cmw.

Rom manager doesn't recognize my unlocked captivate

I just bought a captivate. I rooted and unlocked it ( now t- mobile) . When I go to rom manager to make a recovery it doesn't recognize my device. Only gives option for i9000, epic, fascinate. What do I need to do to make a backup/ recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Unfortunately there isn't an official clockworkmod recovery for the captivate. You'll need to either flash a kernel with cwm already embedded, or manually load up cwm on your SD card. What stock ROM are you on atm?

Sorry you sorta wrong on some things. There isn't official CWM for GB or Froyo. But there is for Eclair. Sounds like he is on GB at the moment. You are correct about having to flash a kernel with CWM in it.

I stand corrected...but yes unless your still on eclair or restore back to eclair, there isn't an official cwm

Yea, I am on GB 2.3.5 baseband UCKK4. I also have a vibrant.I am really surprised at how different the two phones are. I would like to put a custom rom on the cappy. What rom would you suggest? Kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Suggesting ROMs ins't allow because you will most likely get arguing. Flash Corn Kernel and try out some custom stock ROMs if you don't know what you're doing. If you have an idea. I suggest ANY of the ICS ROMs

I would like a stable ICS rom. PM me with any suggestions.

vcremoveboot is the revert zip for voltage control, in case you have unstable settings applied at boot.

I did read actually , tried reflash the cm10 more than 50times and wipe system/cache and dalvik many times but it still didnt work at all, just now i tried it again and guess what it boot into cm10 finally.

If u read, flashing from froyo or GB need to go through da step from CM7 (stock GB) > CM9 (ICS flash twice as phone memory repartition) > CM10/10.1 (JB also flash twice)

well it worked now without flashing cm7 and cm9. By the way, the install guide at wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd said The install guide assumes the Galaxy S is running Android 2.3 at the important notes so i just followed the instruction only, flash straight from stock gm to cm10 worked like a charm now.

They really assume that you're running 2.3.6. People have had problems with flashing custom roms from any oter version (especially 2.3.3)
