Going back to stock JL2

I flashed my Bell i9000m with the Speedmod rom, and it is running great. However is it possible to revert back to the stock kernel for upgrades via Kies?
Another stupid question, can Darky's rom be flashed via Odin on top of Speedmod?

You can flash the stock JL2 kernel on top of the speed mod yes. If you want to keep the speedmod and are only interested in being able to upgrade, you could use the kies registry hack and trick kies into thinking your phone is at an older model, this includes the kernel, however i'm not sure what will happen because some of these roms only have some of the data needed in the flash, example is that the stock 2.1 has a sddata folder and non of the roms after that have that folder.....
Darky's rom is meant to be flashed with clock work recovery, so if you want to flash it just follow his instructions. it comes in a zip file so it can only be flashed via clockwork. Do not unzip because it's signed

Great, thank you. Gonna flash to Darky's rom after creating a nanodroid backup

If new GB 2.3.3 stock Rom needs Rooting?

Recently Flashed with Gingerbread 2.3.3 stock Rom fully.
Do I need rooting again?
Why I said re-rooting is that I had rooted my previous original Froyo 2.2.1 Rom with success..
If it 2.3.2. stock Rom needs rooting, which is the best way and soft for it ?

Yes, if you upgraded from 2.2.1 then 2.3.3 will need to be rooted again. There are several kernels that you can flash via ODIN that will root 2.3.3. Check in the ROM Kitchen beta or in this thread for kernels by Chainfire, SuperCurio and DamienGTO.
Remember that 2.3.3 is still a work in progress so read, READ, READ before you do anything.

Ths.
I found out this is the solution.

[Q] JVB+Bootloaders -> JS8 Rom

Hi there,
I've got a quick question about the compatibility of JVB bootloaders, with Froyo roms.
I've flashed stock JVB+bootloaders, flashed Chainfire's kernel, then installed Faryaab's F1 rom.
However, i'm considering flashing back to Darky's JS8 rom.
Which steps do i need to take?
Something like the following, perhaps:
First put Darky's rom on my internal SD card
Flash Hardcore's Froyo kernel through ODIN
Don't let the phone reboot, pull battery
Enter recovery, flash Darky's rom?
Am i missing a few steps, perhaps?
Thanks in advance.

I would also appreciate it if some one could answer OP's question. I'm not finding GB as stable as I hoped.

The new bootloaders are compatible with froyo and even eclair thus you dont have to flash the old ones. nevertheless i would recommend to do a clean install which means you should flash any stock froyo Firmware with repartition first and then flash any Kernel with cwm in order to flash the rom you want

Cheers, that's the answer i was hoping for .
Considering the modem, my guess is that it shouldn't be an issue to leave the JVK modem intact?

no it shouldnt. but if you flash a custom rom afterwards it will be changed anyway

JVK is a good modem .

[Q] How to downgrade?

How Do I downgrade from 2.3.3 [JVO] to 2.2.1 [JPY] using Odin? How do I fully downgrade it all, bootloaders etc?

well you need to find a froyo ROM with bootloaders - if you updated them when flashing GB 2.3.3
ideally you want a froyo ROM with all 3 files and a 512PIT, also with re-partition checked.
head over to www.samfirmware.com and have a look there for a 2.2.1 with all 3 files,
IT MUST CONTAIN BOOTLOADERS IF YOU CHANGED THEM !!!
alternatively if you cannot find a froyo rom with 3 files AND bootloaders. flash this first as a single PDA with NO pit and NO re-partition http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar/download
then flash a firmware with 3 files and pit
hope that makes sense ???

Yeah makes sense thanks, I upgraded via KIES so the bootloaders would of been updated too, Do you recommend choosing "Update phone bootloader" on Odin? or leave that blank ?

Gingerbread bootloaders work on froyo, but if you are down downgrading to go to cm/miui then you do need froyo bootloaders, nitr8 produced ezodin files to revert, search dev forum

Q: 2.3.3 Lagfix?

Hey guys so I managed to upgrade my ROGERS captivate to stock 2.3.3
and succesfully rooted it. And I'm noticing lags and in general, it's slower than my older stock 2.2 with One Click Lag Fix..
I used to score almost 2k on 2.2
but now with rooted 2.3.3 I only score 1k. Is there some sort of lagfix I can do to make it less laggy and more fluid/smooth? Or should I just go back to stock 2.2 and lag fix it?

No Only 2.3.3 native rom to use lag fix was Cognition 5. That was KF1.

Uhm what does that mean? I'm kind of new.. so is that a custom ROM or something? if it is, can I flash it on a ROGERS captivate?

Any rom made for or ported to I897 would work on your I896. If you are going to move to a rom I would recommend Fasty KI2 that has Voodoo, or Fusion roms.

Thank'd
this is what you're talking about right?

I kind of know how to flash custom ROM's but I'm not sure what
"YOU MUST HAVE GB BOOTLOADERS" means >.>
I know that I have to get stock 2.1 and root it and then flash it...

No dont go back to stock. If you want flash a stock KI2 or KH3 with out bootloaders and use Boog's cwm kernel and flash fasty.

uhm.. to be honest I don't really know what that means @[email protected]
but wouldn't this work?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
I'm thinking just getting stock 2.1 then rooting it and then flashing...
seems more simple o:
so would this work?

For froyo roms ya. For Gingerbread is a whole other can of worms. If you are already on Gingerbread then just flash a kernel with cwm (not sure what gb you are on) and factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik and flash rom.

I tried installing CWM recovery with ROM manager but
when i press it it says confirm phone model and
galaxy s i9000, nexus and other phones show but not
captivate.. and which kernal do I have to flash?

Read READ READ READ READ READ and read some more. If you don't know what gb bootloaders are that should at least have 15min of reading by it self. Also, read the stickies (the posts with thumbtacks) in the development section.

Rom manager is useless. You need too flash a Kernel with CWM cooked in it. With either kernel flasher (app), ODIN or Heimdall.

T-T I poked around and read some threads.. but I'm not sure what my GB bootloaders are T-T i'll list some stuff and maybe that is the GB thing
PDA:1896UXKH2
PHONE:1896UXKH2
CSC: I896RWCKH2
T-T
so I just find any kernal with CWM and then flash it using odin?
and if i do use odin do i use .pit file?

You are on Rogers Gingerbread. You have GB bootloaders. Flash KH3 with out bootloaders found here, Then flash kernel found here (use the ODIN KH3 one). Use CWM do a factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache then flash Fasty or wich ever rom you like and Profit. If you going to use a Fasty with Voodoo, these kernels take a long time to boot and if voodoo is enabled you will hear chirping and take even longer.
This ins't the only way, its what I would do atleast.

Thanks so much I'll try it as soon as I get home

Kernel is this. You can use the search in the dev section.

Thanks! I'm going to try it now
I'll post results shortly after

I successfully flashed kernal and I hace cwm recovery now but
I can't download the fantasy 3 :/ the link is broken..

Fantasy? Im going to assume Fasty?
Edit: it seems his site is down. Going to have to wait for it.

yea I meant fasty*
I guess I'll have to wait then since fasty looks like the best option out there :/
