Hello everyone, I had a quick question about flashing fasty II on my darky's jvr captivate. I read that the battery life on fasty is better than the one for darky, so I thought I'd give it a shot. While reading the instructions I ran into "must flash gingerbread bootloaders", my question is, should I flash to stock then flash the gingerbread bootloaders or can I just flash the rom since I'm on jvr? I would greatly appreciate any help as I am a noob, thanks in advance to all!

I would flash stock first. Or flash gingerbread bootloaders now, then flash stock kh3 (no boot) then flash boot kernel, then flash rom through cwm. Sounds complicated I know, but it isn't that bad. Fasty does have great battery life but I prefer fusion. About as good battery life and way better theme
Ok, thanks man! So just to clarify, it's back to stock through odin one click, root, bootloaders, and rom through clockwork? I think that odin is the only intimidating part, as I have read it is where most hard bricks happen. Anyways, thank you!

^^^there is no reason to root your phone, download gb bootloaders and flash through odin1.83,download cezars kh3 no boot loaders and flash through odin1.83, download boogs kh3 kernel with cwm and flash through odin 1.83. After this you will have stock kh3 with cwm and root. Put whatever gingerbread rom you want on sd card and install through cwm.
Edit:disable voodoo lagfix first before flashing
Ps.when flashing kernels,modems in odin they go in the pda slot
Pss.Just a heads up just in case you dont know,do not flash the 3 button fix after you flash gingerbread boot loaders or you will have an expensive paper weight

Hi,
I'm currently using GR-12 and want to flash Continuum.
I'm not sure about the bootloaders, do i need to flash them
again, or just flash the kernel using Odin and then flash the
rom with CWM?
Thanks
Don't even need to flash the kernel, unless you are on talon, that doesn't get overwritten in cwm, if you are on talon and flash a jvh kernel while still on gr-12 it will bootloop, don't worry, just boot into cwm and flash continuum. No bootloaders needed...
Thanks studacris, done that, i'm on Continuum now.
flash continuum over gr12
so we can flash this over gr12 with cwm 2.xxx or do we need the cwm3 like in the op.?
Flash from 2.5
I made that jump just but flashing continuum over gr-12. Just be sure to wipe everything.

Is it safe to flash continuum 4.1 (Froyo version) while i have the gingerbread bootloaders on my phone? I ask because I have recently learned that some roms will change the second bootloader while flashing (cognition) which is no bueno if I still have GB bootloaders.
Thanks
Should be. I know v4 is safe to do, I did it myself. I also know that Cezar doesn't like messing with bootloaders, so I font think he would add one to 4.1,IMO

I want to see the difference between continuum 4.1 and 5.5 (mainly battery life)
For the install I figure I will flash the Onix kernal though odin with reboot unchecked then boot into recovery and flash the 4.1 rom. I reckon this should be safe eh?

Both have totally different bootloaders....Dont try this method u will hard brick your phone...try flashing stock using various methods written on the OP of Continuum 5.5....Dont be lazy and flash to stock to go back to froyo....u will have less chances of bricking ur phone
Also Onix is froyo kernel...I am sure it wont be compatible with GB rom

I don't think you read my post correctly. GB bootloaders work fine on froyo roms and really, the easiest way to hard brick the phone is while odin is flashing the bootloaders.
BTW you can flash a 2.2 kernal with reboot unchecked, pull the battery and boot directly into recovery mode to flash the 2.2 rom without issue. Continuum 4.1 does a full wipe anyway.
Thanks for your opinion tho.

Cezar has a "safe"method to return to stock (jf6). It is jf6 tar, without bootloaders. It had its own thread in development, and its also available in the op of the 5.5 thread. If you follow the op, you should be ok.
Ok so if i flash back to stock and i want to flash apex or pinnacle i need to be on gb bootloaders, which one? Links... And i need to flash the correct kernal? Boogs kh3 can someone advise me. I watch youtube clips from mobile tech and the process is flash the BL first then kernal then flash the zip from CWM. Some of the rom threads seem vague on the steps in flashing bootloaders and kernals. I have flashed cm7 and im on cognition now but i want to try some other GB roms for my i897 after i use odin to flash back to jf6.

does not matter what kernel you flash after you flash the bootloaders. it is temporary and just used for cwm. any rom you flash after the kernel will have its own compatible kernel included.
the I897 GB bootloaders are just a click away
Hello all,
I am on DARKYROM JVR and would like to install DGs KJ3 ROM
What should I do?
Install the one with bootloader or one without?
Is there any steps to don before installing the stock?
Please help
Yes. Be mindful that JVR is an i9000 rom and KJ3 is an I897 rom. Mixing kernels can be hazardous to your phones health.
Cognition is no longer supported. There are other good KJ3 roms that are supported. Try one of those instead.

Thanks for your quick reply
Actually I am willing to install one of DG Stock in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843&highlight=bootloader&page=11
So what should I do? go ahead and flash the KJ3 directly?
I am not sure if u can directly go to i897 bootloader...might wait for someone more experience
but to make sure i dont mess anything I normally flash back to JF6...and then flash one click I897UCKJ3 with bootlaoder then Boog's kernal for Kj3...and then just flash rom.zip through CWM...
If you're using Odin to flash an entire firmware it doesn't matter what is on your phone before the flash.
If Odin will overwrite your current set up to flash jf6 why wouldn't do the same for a different firmware?
Hey all, just revived my old captivate, was going to put ICS on it, was attempting to root, but the one click root program wasn't working, was hanging while rooting.
I tried factory wipe, and now I get stuck in a boot loop, it will boot the i896 bootscreen, the the Rogers screen, then reboot.
I've tried from there connecting to Kies, but it won't recognize it. I tried flashing stock Eclair to it using Odin, still bootloops, tried one click odin, still boot loops.
Any thoughts? Am I missing some obvious noob step? I don't have CWM or anything on it, just a stock 2.1 that won't boot.
Just tried flashing the AT&T firmware, same deal. Get past the ATT bootscreen, then the Galaxy S screen then it reboots.
Flashed Froyo, and it boots! But I can't root If I flash back to 2.1, back to bootloop.
Try to search around the forum for the stock recovery without signature checks. Once you have that, you can flash a rom. And most custom roms comes pre-rooted. You can also flash a kernel with Clockworkmod recovery built in, and flash the rom via CWM. Just read the Rom thread about installing.

Thanks, looking for that now, any idea where it might be to narrow my search? Hopefully this helps.
I think it should be in android development forum, in this captivate section. If your on a computer, you can search for it using the search box at the top.

If you're on Froyo, look for the speedmod kernel. If you can flash that via Odin/Heimdall, you should have root and CWM on your Froyo build.
The other option would be to flash a stock Gingerbread rom with CWM baked in - I believe that 4-2ndtwin has a KK4-based one-click with CWM and Gingerbread bootloaders in the Stock Roms Collection thread.

Flashed the Kernel through Odin, but on reboot there was no sound and the touchscreen didn't work. Managed to get into CWM, so I'll see how things go.
The kernel worked, got to CWM and flashed CM9, thanks for the help!
