So I looked all around and could not find this specific question. I upgraded the wifes cappy to the AT&T Gingerbread KK4 release via Kies the other day. I found a thread to assist in rooting which went fine. But for the life of me i cannot find how to get cwm on this thing without changing the kernel. I used a file based cwm on the sdcard when it was froyo that i would flash for use when needed and it would revert back to stock 3e after rebooting, that exist for KK4? She's insisting I keep hers stock as she's worried about it bricking so I have to follow orders lol!
U can't do the update.zip to get cwm like in eclair days because of the 3e recovery. If u want cwm on kk4 u gotta at least flash a kk4 kernel with cwm baked in. I have been using Corn Kernel version 6.03 and it is excellent.
Why do u want cwm if she wants to keep it Stock ? To flash different modems... U can't flash mods etc. because it is stock and odexed...
Just curious.

So I can flash clock mods and such from the kitchen, unless of course KK4 doesn't allow it. It did allow on stock 2.2 and worked just fine without issue. My thing with flashing a different kernel is I don't want anything that's overclocked or such on her phone.
What you need to do is get a kernel with CWM already baked into it.
So start with this. Flash the Corn 7.03 kernel. I used it for the entire day today with a great experience. It was just released today as well. This kernel has CWM already in it and works great with the stock rom.
I also suggest flashing this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358180 This is Trusselo's: 【stock】【kk4】 rooted deodexed debloated rom. Its basically a stock version of the rom with root already in it. It is missing a few ringtones but who really cares about that. Its also stripped out of the stuff that slows your phone down and paired with the kernel it makes for a much better experience on the captivate.
So if you want stock this is about as stock as it gets with a mix of high performance.

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
I'm running Overcome currently. Is it possible to flash to a stock system from Clockworkmod, such that the system I'm running is stock?
I don't need the tablet itself to be bone stock, but I'd just like to switch back to the stock system, with none of the Overcome modifications.
Ideally, I'd love to be able to keep Clockworkmod and still use Clockworkmod to flash modified kernels. Even more ideally, being able to stay on ext4 would be great.
The reason I ask is I've been seeing some weird bugs lately, mainly with my AT&T wireless account mysteriously breaking down and not working until I reselect the APN and reboot, as well as 30 second hanging on boot, and I'd like to try stock again to see if those problems go away.
I think you can apply Clockworkmod afterwards, if you have already successfully applied Overcome. This means that you have Odin ready on your PC, drivers for USB ready and your tablet is rooted.
I applied stock_safe ROM included in Odin package to fix my freezing tablet. Lost CWM, but right now I am looking how to apply it separately of Overcome.
edit: I think I have just found it on the market, you have free and premium version. I think this guy deserves free coffee, so let's buy premium.
For my at&t tab i use JQ1, which is stock gingerbread, then i applied the CF-Root v3.3 to have root and CWM. Then I flashed Dip7 kernel for speed improvements.
I was having the lag issue too so I reverted to this set up, and I really like it.
As for the connection issue, you have your apn correct, but remind me what modem you have? Maybe an experiment is in order.

Okay, so I can flash to Overcome's stock safe (which will change me back off of ext4), and then using Odin flash one of the stock firmwares, and then apply CF-Root to get root/CWM. Does that sounds right?
It's actually pretty disappointing that AT&T still hasn't released or even announced its own Gingerbread update yet, which I hadn't realized while typing this, since I had really wanted to flash back to stock to fix the AT&T connection issue, but it may still work on other firmwares. Going back to Froyo seems like too much of a step backwards.
I'm currently on the KM2 modem. What do you recommend?
Flash stock safe then flash CF root, overcome kernel (only kernel), or Koxudaxi or dip7 or whatever pleases you then flash the modem that works best for you.
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 :/
Hello there,
I've been playing with my i9000m for the last 12 hours (...) and I seem to have hit a roadblock. I simply cannot find a kernel that will run on my phone with 2e/ clockworkmod recovery AT ALL and it's driving me a bit nuts. I'd love for someone to point me in the right direction, preferably to an Odin flashable (that's pretty much all I'm comfortable with) 2e/ clockworkmod recovery kernel that will actually get past the boot screen on an i9000m. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, all.
Oh, and if I should be using something other than Odin, please inform me. And if my thinking is all backwards, smack me and gimme some splainin, if you'd kindly. Thanks again.
what version of android / rom are you using? It will make a difference.
I'm using the stock gingerbread 2.3.3 UGKG3 rom designed for the i9000m. AFAIK, there is no custom kernel that will work with this rom - only the rooted stock kernel with no CWM.
If you want to use a custom kernel that has CWM features, I think you need to install either a stock i9000 rom like XXJVT, or you have to go with a custom rom entirely.
what exactly are you trying to do? If you want the latest stock rom with root. Flash JVT pda, with KG3 modem and CSC and 512 pit, in odin then flash latest semaphore or chainfire kernal to root. Put file in pda and flash in odin. There are alot of good tutorial on here.
Firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Root Kernal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
I've just got UGJL2 on it atm, since that's the only thing i can get to actually run. I'll give XXJVT a shot. But ultimately all I want to be able to do is try some of the custom roms (cyanogen, miui, apply some fancy lock screens through update.zip) through the use of ROM manager... which I do need CWM for. I do like the stock gingerbread rom, I just want to customize it a bit.
cyanogen and miui are completely seperate roms, they are not based on samsung what so ever. You should probably just stick to stock jvt for now. (until you get your feet wet.) There are alot of great custom roms you can run on stock jvt. You just need to get that up and running first. Follow the instructions in the links I gave you. I live in Canada too, and run JVT pda on my phone, with KG3 modem and csc, works perfect, install semaphore kernal after, its the file linked Semaphore_Kernal_JVT_1.8.2.tar. Once your rolling you can install zips through cwm. Just remember to keep your baseband version, your modem KG3 or you will notice your cell coverage sucks. With KG3 its full bars. The firmware in the first link I gave you contains bootloaders so you can flash straight from there. Remember to use the 512 pit file. Since this is the first time your flashing gingerbread.
Alrighty, I see how it all peices together now. I've got the UGKG3 modem and CSC installed alongside the xxjvt PDA with Semaphore JVT over it. Runs really nicely too, Thanks for all the help guys. I'll play with this for a while, hopefully it'll continue to run nicely I'll go gander around at the other roms now that I actually know what i'm looking at! I like this one though, thanks for the reccomendation. And I do indeed have my CWM installed, so i can go gallavanting now
Thanks guys!
Happy rom hunting
Which "JVT" ROM did you guys install?
XFJVA/XXJVT/OXFJV1/Sbl or XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (or does it matter between these two?)
Hi guys, I'm new here and have been scouring the forums on how to do things but I keep getting caught with uncertainties.
I have an i896 Samsung Galaxy S Captivate with a Rogers 2.3.3 Gingerbread installed.
I have rooted it with no issues and its also unlocked.
What I want to do:
1. CyanogenMod 7
2. Overclock the CPU
But what I don't know is...
1. Since i'm running a Rogers ROM, do I have to flash to an AT&T ROM then to any custom ROM?
2. I read the instructions on how to update to the CM7 ROM but every instruction I read says I must have Froyo/Eclair to goto CM7. So do I downgrade and if so, how can I do that? I tried and what ends up happening is the phone's reception bars have an X and data doesn't work either. In the phone About properties, states that the baseband is "unknown". I suspect I need something more than a stock Rogers ROM without bootloaders. I couldn't find a 2.1 or 2.2 stock Rogers ROM with bootloders.
3. For overclocking, I installed Voltage Control and Control Freak and neither let me overclock, the max CPU is 1000Mhz. I assume I need a custom Kernal to do this but haven't been able to find how to do this during the CM7 upgrade.
I just need someone to point me in the right direction on what order to do all this and whether me having a Rogers stock 2.3.3 ROM causes an issue. I've done a lot of reading on these forums so its not like I just signed up and wanted to know the easy way out. I simply want the proper way to do things so I don't repeat the same mistakes many people may have done in the past.
I have used Odin, Heimdall, Odin One Click, Super One Click for rooting.
Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction and help me achieve these goals!
You dont need to go back to Froyo, as GB bootloader is compatible. but you need CWM to flash CM7. you can use Rom Manager app to flash the CWM.
Just download CM7 zip file, wipe data, system and cache and install it using CWM. It comes with custom kernel so you can overclock it using those apps you mentioned. You can also flash Glitch kernel....
See that's what i've been trying to do but when it comes to installing the nightly rom in zip format, it tells me the signature failed.
Do I need to buy the premium version of rom manager or can I get away with the free version? I don't want to use my credit card, i rather wait until paypal is implemented with android market.
This is so frustrating...

You need to Odin flash a custom kernel that has CWM in it and then install the zip from CWM. I don't know if all kernels for the i897 are compatable with i896 just have to read. I

Ya that's what I don't know either...I read tons of threads where people with i896 Rogers roms tried to flash with AT&T based roms or i897 roms and either bricked their phones or made a mess that took much more to get them back to stock...problem is the people that have i896 roms here I can't contact until I hit 10 posts...so I'm here stuck until then...
Just flash a custom I897 kernel with cwm, once complete, yank battery, replace and button combo boot into recovery and flash the ROM. Whichever kernel you choose doesn't really matter as zip will flash a compatible kernel, the I896 and I897 are identical other than cosmetic branding.
I was on stock rogers 2.3.3.
Installed Sumari kernel. Booted into the sumari recovery, installed CM7 zip, the phone rebooted into cwm recovery, and continued installing.
It worked pretty smoothly.
okay so i flashed my phone with a stock 2.3.5 rom with CWM, but how do I update to CM7? When i boot into recovery the only option I have is reinstall package. Do i rename the CM7 zip file to update.zip and that should work? I'm so lost...
In CWM recovery you need to choose install zip from sdcard, make sure you are in fact in cwm recovery
Before you do that....you need to flash a kernel with Odin that has cwm in it...
Woo! that worked like a charm haha yea baby yea!! Thank you soo much!! i was so scared to flash my cappy going from Rogers to AT&T that it would brick the phone. Got CM7 with Glitch Kernel and overclocked to 1.4 sawweeeeet!!
Now time to fiddle around and customize!
Thanks everyone!!
