That didn't work. I flashed the zImage with odin, then re-flashed stock uckj3 2.3.5. Still no root?

Here's the steps you need to do:
- Flash your stock GB rom first.
- Flash the zimage-root.tar file in Odin
- Let phone boot to Fugu Fish
- Power off phone, reboot to download mode
- Flash kernelKF1.tar file in Odin.
- Reboot.
At that point, you're on stock gingerbread with root capabilities. You shouldn't have had to re-flash the stock GB, as it took root away again.
And also, there should b a kj3 .tar under the attachments at the title of that thread, so u can flash it instead of kf1.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
^ Like he said. Flash the correct kernel, not KF1. Look around for the correct kernel. What 2.3.5 are you using? KJ# or KI#? Wich ever might be look for a kernel in Dev.
If all you are looking for is root, the above method works really well. Although, if you are familiar with vodoo and want to include it after you root, it may be easier to flash one of the new kernels that have have root and vodoo such as the samurai kernel. Just another thought, hope you find what you're looking for.

correct kernel
I did not see an attachment on that thread for the kj3 kernel. Do u have a link to the kj3 kernel?
I am running the gingerbread 2.3.5 uckj3
You can run Corn kernel, Samurai Kernel or Boog's KJ3 kernel. Boogs is closer to stock. All of them have CWM, Corn and Samurai have Voodoo lag fix. I believe Samurai and a version of Corn have rooted kernels, I could be wrong.

Here is the Pure Stock KJ3 Kernel, if ya still need it... View attachment stocki897uckj3-zImage.tar
Awesome
That worked...I used Boog's kj3 kernel.
Next step?
Now that I am rooted, what is the best step for applying a lag fix?

Thanks! Now where can I get custom boot animations?
Check Theme subsection for captivate. In theory any animation should work assuming they are made for the correct resolution. You just have to make sure its named right. Though I know some kernels accept both names for it.
Lock Screen
Are there any custom lock screens that can be flashed using cwn? or how would I go about changing my default lock screen?
Uh to my knowledge lock screens are build in the rom. Though I've seen like 1 lockscreen that was made to flash over default but don't know if it applies for KJ3.
Lock Screen
Well, if I use an app for the lock screen (such as swirl), is there a way to disable the built in lock screen?

4. Boot into recovery
5. Flash eugene's a12 "or" a11 kernel(reboot)

***UPDATE***
Ok, so i paired Axura 2.0.3 with #805 kernel and it runs flawlessly!!!
same method as before just a different kernal.. so for future reference when Axura 2.0.3 becomes available to everyone look back for this post{BOOKMARK ME!!]
UPDATE!!!
Axura 2.0.1 rom is the less glitchy..{just released 2.0.4 "early" with the fixes applied, flashing now}
the best kernel available as of now is Eugene's a12/a11 oc/uv!!! has all available lag fixes, tweaks, and misc stuff built into the recovery, and the voltage app allows adjustment in individual speeds!!

It would be awesome to get Eugene's latest kernel (#106) working on Axura. Eugene stated that it should work on other roms as long as you include the zImage (duh) and the /system/init.rc. Tried doing it with a flashable zip as well as flashing just the kernel and then using adb to push the init.rc but still couldn't get it to boot. Maybe a much more talented individual could get this set up working.
Is it possible to flash axura 2.03 and flash the kernel by using CW? I believe kernels can be induvidually flashed right without odin correct? Thanks.

So I'm already on Axura, so I can just jump right to the flashing of eugenes kernel through cw recovery, correct? Don't get why I'd have to odin eugenes froyo package. I hate odin if you haven't guessed by now lol.
Also, which one is supposed to be better? 802 vs. 805

Correct...if your already on Axura your fine, except if you have any voodoo lag fix our oclf lag fix..you would have to remove them first...I personally like #802..but to each his own

After I install the ext2 files, it says I already have a lagfix installed. I followed your procedure correctly but with Axura 2.0.3 and kernel #802.
I had voodoo installed before but I flashed disable-lagfix.zip before I did any of this.

What kind of reboot issues? Were you running a rom other then axura when you flashed 2.0.3? Best bet is to odin and do it all fresh and only flash one at so time with reboots between flashes...and disable any lag fixes!!

Flash either a 2.1 or 2.2 rom. The rom has to be 3 files. You need to flash with a 512 pit and re-partition.

Hi
I currently have an vodafone unlocked galaxy running bujv9 rom. and cf-root XWJVH kernel. phone is rooted.
I been looking at kernels which support voodoo sound and other stuff as my one does not.
How do i go from a jvh rom and kernel to say a jvr kernel and rom which supports the voodoo stuff.
Is it a simple wipe then CWM flash new rom then odin jvr kernel. or other way around. Not sure.
Sorry still learning galaxy flashing. well different from HTC flashing.
Cheers.
If you want to try latest rom and a kernel with all features flash stock JVS in odin and then flash Darkcore 4 or Semaphore 1.7 in odin

Your desired rom should have kernel so no need for flashing twice.
You will probably get away with factory reset and cwm flash. Any probs you may have to flash stock first.

There are apps that will do this, but may not work properly (depending on a lot of things). If you're unsuccessful with the app, or if you'd rather another way, the main to go about it is to flash a kernel that is already rooted.
Thanks for your reply, my problem is that i can't find the right cf-root kernal and also because phone locked to network my build number is bujv9,
