[Q] Help with Boog's KI1/KI2 Kernel - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I know if Boog's KI1/KI2 Kernel 2 was flashed?
Kernel version says: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKI1-CL607313
init.d folder contains only: S99complete
I have CWM so I'm assuming that Kernel 1 flashed properly through Odin3
I came from S7
flashed AT&T bootloaders and stock KI2
then flashed emunee's rooted/deodexed/zipaligned KI2
then flashed Boog's kernel 1 .tar with odin
now I'm trying to flash Boog's kernel 2 using CWM....
What am I doing wrong? any help would be appreciated

The name of the kernel will not change because no source released yet. Since u have CWM ur doing good. The kernels are flashing for u. No worries.

Thanks for all the help, I have 2.3.5 w CWM and i know boog has an updated kernel w root. Should I put that in my sdcard directory and restart in recovery and install package? Would that root me? Thanks, Im pretty new to this and just flashed for the first time and am very happy but wanna get rid of all the ATT crap

Thank you for the prompt attention, what about the init.d folder shouldn't the scripts show up after flashing kernel 2?
Would it be advisable to simply flash U.A.S.?

I think people have been having issues with boog's root kernel actually taking root from them rather then giving them root. I would advise the kernel swap method over flashing boog's rooted kernel for now.

If done correctly in the proper order (kinda difficult not to) only one script should appear in the init.d folder. As for the USAS I recommend reading the link in my sig about Android Optimizations first.

Thank you! For now I will wait a bit, I am using GO launcher so I hid all the ATT stuff.

I had come across the link to Pikachu's article in the Adrenaline Shot thread but in my laziness/arrogance I never took the time to read it!

I dont understand what you wrote here. Anyway chainfire kernel is STOCK. He did some scripting and apps to it but the kernel remains stock. You can tweak stuff later but you dont need to.
Also you could try this http://goo.gl/VS4X4 its for root then you flash your stock kernel back.
Thanks you a lot
ok. I have to made lag fix, and I don't know after I flash that kernel I will can do lag fix. I think if it's stock kernel I can do that but I don't want broke phone

Ok. So now I understood you wanna change your fs to ext4 (known as lagfix in the good old days).
And you have JVB (NEE or XEE) . So just follow the advice of the second poster. And install the CF kernel. Also his ext4 app from that thread. Problem is you might not have enough space on your system partition as you got stock. But there is also HOW TO fix that problem .
Sorry, my english is low So I must ask You another time If I flash CF kernel, I receive fs ext 4 in this operation? or I must after install kernel use lag fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749495)??? Sorry and thanks
So you have OCLF installed now?
Get rid of it.
Install Chainfire's 3.1 kernal, and the ext 4 add-on. Then you will be good to go.
No I haven't got it yet.
This kernel have IN HIMSELF ext4?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
In post #7, download the ext4 addon apk. Put it on your internal sd card. After you have the 3.1 kernal installed, install the ext4 apk. The 3.1 kernal is in post #6 for JVB.
Then from within the ext4 tools app, you can convert to ext4.

OK. Thanks You everybody for answers. I will click "thanks" button of course for all. Last question: Where I can find Odin to download?
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PWD334EZ
I can't remember if there's 3 versions of Odin in this zip. If so, use v1.7

Thank You very much. There are only 1.7
EDIT: Udało się!!! (in polish it mean: Done!!!)
You're welcome
I dont want to start up another thread, and since my question is related to this thread, i thought id continue it.
Im also on the official 2.3.3 sammy g'bread.
All i want is to get rooted, so that i can delete some of the "in-the-box-apps" found on the phone from the beginning. Do i root the phone, as if its a 2.2?

How to install a different kernel?

I'm surprised not to see a topic on this in the SGT Bible. I've just flashed Overcome ROM, and I see a lot of recommendations for pairing this with koxudaxi kernel.
What's the procedure for keeping my current system and changing kernels? Do I just drop the koxudaxi kernel zip in my internal SD root and then flash that zip from CWM, or are there any gotchas I need to watch out for?

Easy to flash another kernel and its more easy to brick your tab, you should know what you're flashing and see if it can work with your system or no
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
I agree 100 percent with k0sh on this. Each kernel(or ROM) usually come with an instruction on how to install and also some precautions. These should be followed to the letter.
As for the bible-I also agree that it should be updated.

Yup, so I know what I'm flashing (koxudaxi kernel), and it works with my system (an AT&T GSM tab).

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any instructions in the koxudaxi kernel thread on how to flash it. So what's the safe way to apply something like this?
Edit: Okay, I just went ahead and did it, and for anyone following along, yes, you just choose flash from zip in Clockworkmod.
He gives two formats of the kernal. The .tar file is for heimdal or odin. The .zip is for flashing with CWM.
I have two tabs. T-mobile overcome 2.0 koxu kernal. At&t with stock gb. Chainfire kernal for root and CWM, koxu kernal for tweaks.

Issue: Fugu Root Mod + GB 2.3.5 KK4

Hey guys, so I just recently updated my Cappy from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 KK4 using a couple of the forums found here on XDA. Question, though:
I attempted to apply the Fugu Root Mod before flashing to 2.3.5. When flashed, it showed the red Fugu fish, and then bootlooped on me until I pulled the battery. After that, I flashed the 2.3.5 update. Apparently, Fugu has failed on part of my own error, because I don't have SU, BusyBox, or any of the Fugu mods, and the kernel in the phones "About" section shows "2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489."
The question: I don't really care to give rooting another go, and I've discovered the "fugumod" folder in my SD's directory. Of course, the file tells me not to delete it, but is it safe to do so being that the root was not applied?
Thanks in advance!
Try installing SU app? At any rate I believe Corn kernel and samurai kernel have SU installer on cwm. I could be wrong but check it out

Installed the SU app from the market, but Root Check Basic still reports that my phone isn't rooted. Is it safe to just delete the "fugumod" folder in my SD directory, or is it worth a shot at reflashing Fugu? I pretty much manually restored my phones contacts, apps, etc before I noticed root was missing (I wasn't rooted before) and don't want to risk losing all my data.
Like I said, I don't mind not having root, I just figured I'd throw Fugu in there since I was wiping and updating my phone anyway.
You can try it. Odd it didn't work first go. But like I said there are 2 KK4 kernels that offer (or might) SU installer with CWM and tweaks.
Any risk in bricking if I delete the "fugumod" folder? It's telling me within the file that my phone won't reboot if deleted...but I'm not even Fugu rooted in the first place!
EDIT: Hmm...I didn't notice a KK4 with an SU installer. Could you point me in the right direction?
I honestly don't know never deleted that folder... like ever lol.
Hahaha that's what I was trying to find out in the first place, though! If I don't need the folder, I don't want it on my phone.
Searching would have found your answer, but here it is.
After flashing the fugumod kernel, you did the right thing pulling the battery. That kernel isn't designed to boot completely, just give you root. Where you were wrong was flashing the whole update. You should have flashed just the kk4 kernel. Once rebooted, you have the stock, rooted ROM.

Ahh, I see, thanks! So flashing the update removes the root, correct?
EDIT: Went ahead and just deleted the fugumod folder. No problems whatsoever, since I'm not rooted, of course.

Yeah, reflashing the update will wipe out the root, as well a factory reset.

Root files when using Odin

Hi, I am trying to root my Galaxy S I9000. It is gingerbread.xxjvt 2.3.5, and I am using a tutorial to root.
Now the question is in the files the tutorial provided, there is a file named CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS. If I unrar it, there is a file named zlimage. Which file should I use in Odin?
Thanks for any help.
Well don't unrar it, it goes straight as it is in odin. Inside PDA, be careful not to tick re-partion !!!
Odin open and be careful not to re-partition is checked then click on the PDA and put there cf-root or kernel. I suggest if you put everything on the phone root is better kernel semaphore. good luck

Thank you and others for the help. I don't know what you mean in the second part of your post, I don't know much about kernels and stuff. At least now I'll have a rooted phone; one at a time! Roms and kernels are next.

I did not undestand the second part as well but I think he wanted to tell you that you may use the Sepahore-Kernel instead of CF-Root because it has some Modifications in it to capitalize every feature wich a rooted phone can provide you eg. Voodoo-Sound, Bln and so on.

Do you mean that instead of using this file I can use another file in the same way and have a rooted phone with extended features? If yes, does that mean cf-root file is also a kernel?
Sorry, newbie! My lack of english knowledge doesn't help as well.
Download from market sgs flash kernel app, download kernel semaphore 2.4.0 ( serch in google) save kernel on sd card in phone, go to SGS Flash |Kernel and choose kernel (semaphore saved on sdcard)-> flash kernel , than u have nwe kernel semaphore.

Hi there, try XWJW6. Its much better and lag-free already.
Then, you may flash CF Root kernel and convert the filesystem from RFS to EXT4.

Hi - forgive the noob question....it's 2013 and I've got Gingerbread.XWJW8 and find it a bit laggy. I wanted to reflash a custom kernel to address occasional lag. But from above the lagfix is standard. Does this kernel include these anti-lag features? Should I reflash or let it lie.
OBTW, tried to root it using developer mode from a couple of techniques on youtube and it failed. Is this because Samsung blocks it?
nope, flash custom kernel, semaphore or cf root n ur fone will be rooted

Yes the above mentioned kernel includes lagfix.
Samsung doesn't block anything. You are not following the correct method.

Thanks - but may need more help as my phone is in a rebooting cycle now
Downloaded and installed standard Firmware from Sammobile - all good
Followed directions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519 and downloaded SpeedMod kernel K16 series which works on older Samsung 2.3.x roms. (mine is 2.3.6 GB). Started Odin3 and installed the .tar and it appeared to flash fine, then rebooted inot a continuous cycle. I followed directions to the letter - what could I have done wrong?
I'll try another older speedmod kernel and see what happens, otherwise it's back to the standard one again.
There shouldn't of been just one .tar, it looks like you may of flashed an update instead of a whole rom.
If there was 3 .tars then you probably put them in the wrong place. Try use a guide off android souls website. They really simple and I used them when I first started.
