ok ... i guess i should say that yes i did "search" about it and i just didn't find the answers that i was looking for ! that's why i ask it here..
so i rooted and apply the lagfix to my samsung captivate. now everytime if go to setting>software update . it just says that "no firmware" or "dm initialization is not ready" ! i know there is no update available for samsung captivate yet ( im on jh7) but when there is how can i update ??!!! and is it safe to update ? how do i restore back to original setting ? (sorry i used iphone for so long and i am still not used to this phone yet ) what i needed to know is how do u restore this phone if something goes wrong ?! i messed up my iphone several times but it was no problem ! all i had to do was fire up itune and hit restore...!
Are you using the voodoo lagfix? If yeah..then you would want to disable that and restore a stock kernel before you do any future updates. Then reinstall it after. If something ever goes wrong with your phone, you can always put the phone in download mode and flash a stockRom with odin.
Well eveytime I check for update it said no firmware . It doesn't even go to menu and say checking for new update from att server and all that ! Is that normal ? And I don't know what lagfix I'm using. I download it from here and it has a shortcut with the name of SL4A and I installed the lagfix-ext4.sh from its options

I am new to the Android world and just got a Captivate rooted it using UNLEASH THE BEAST V0.2 from this Forum.
Now I cannot update the phone with the new AT&T fix and could not find a place explaining how to do it. I read the tread above about restore a stock kernel, flash a stockRom with odin.
Can someone be kind to explain that and maybe put a link up of a tutorial.
I would really appreciate that and hopefully get my phone updated.
By the way my firmware version is 2.1

That is the Odin one click downloader- it restores your phone to stock, make sure you make a back up first because it WILL erase everything in the process. The thread should have adequate instructions as well
Zilch25 I will do that. I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Worked like a charm! Thank you
OK, so I proper n00bed myself here... I downloaded sgs flash or something off the android market (it has the picture of a little penguin sat down) and it basically is meant to flash stuff easily.
So then I had Darky's v10 Extreme edition RC3 on my phone, selected it to flash, and let nature take it's course.
It went Tsunami on my ass.
Basically everytime I turn it on, it shows the samsung galaxy s logo, but then it switches to essentially, a broken screen. In which I mean, it's all different coloured pixels and you can't make anything out.
I'm using a powermac G5 from the stone age, in which heimdall doesn't work as it's not intel based, and my dad has a windows laptop containing nothing like Kies or Odin etc.
So yeah I ****ed it, anyone any advice or anything? Cause I'm real stuck right now lol!
Thanks in advanced.
OH it's version XXJF3 I think, and is the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 international version, should that be any help.
Hey man,
Can you still get into download mode?
Try flashing the stock JVK with bootloader.
I'm not sure about Mac operating system, but you can install the SGS drivers on your fathers Windows machine.

Hey buddy, Yeah I can still get it into Download mode, but I'm super new at all this, so JVK and Bootloader just went straight over my head haha.
Alright...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
That's the JVK thread. Read the directions... twice if you have to.
This is Perka's file stash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984588
Enter the file stash and look for the Software folder.
You'll want to download Odin, and Samsung driver.
The Bootloader is the way that your phone boots up before any other firmware runs...think of it as the BIOS of your phone.
SO just like corrupting the BIOS will kill a PC, if your Bootloader gets fragged, you have a very expensive rectangular hockeypuck instead of a phone. There is almost no way to brick your phone, other then damaging the Bootloader.
The fact that you can go into Download mode means your Bootloader is fine, so your phone is also fine...it just needs the right software installed on it in the right order. As long as you can get into Download mode, you can use a tool called ODIN to load software onto it.
JVK is the 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) firmware that was leaked, and likely not the best thing to start with.
I would start by looking at a thread about a ROM called Darky's Ressurection. It is designed for just the situation you are in...a chance to start again. ON that thread you will find very clear instructions onhow to use ODIN to do it, and then from there you can go onto whatever ROM you want.
Also, FYI, I think what you downloaded from the Market was SGS Kernel Flasher, which just flashes kernels, not full ROMs. A Kernel is a piece of software that controls the hardware functions just like in Linux proper, and affects connections, battery life and CPU behavior. In short, the Drivers. If you tried to flash a full ROM with SGS Kernel Flasher I am surprised it worked....but if it did, then yeah, total meltdown.
Remember, as you will learn, when people talk about flashable firmware on the SGS it is in four sections...
Kernel: The layer connecting the hardware to the software, the drivers
Modem: The phone connections/bandwidth
CSC: The carrier, region and APN info
ROM or PDA: The operating system itself (the Libraries and Application Framework).
There is also a fifth that is not essential...
Theme: Changes the framework to customized icons/graphical appearance.
Those may all be combined into a single flashable package, or split into sections to be flashed individually....but you will learn all that as you go.
Good luck and have fun. As long as you have a solid bootloader, you are golden.
Thanks for all the feedback guys! I just booted my dads laptop and am about to embark on the journey of phone-saving-ness.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Success!

2.2.1 is updated Froyo and is a great firmware. In time we will all move up to Gingerbread, which will likely be 2.3.3.
The Baseband is your Modem file, and JPY is the standard modem for the UK and Europe. For me it used too much battery but lost of people have no problems with it. It is very very stable.
The Kernel is SuperCurio's Voodoo kernel as installed by Darky's ROM. The Build number lists the ROM you are using, in this case, Darky's v9.2.
Hello everyone. I'm usually pretty good at finding what I need on the net, but recently that has changed. I have been trying to get CM7 on my SGS with no luck. I have followed the Wiki (see link below) with little success, as well as the second link. Those instructions gave me a boot loop using talon kernel.
What i'm looking for is someone to help me out based on what my phone is already running.
Model Number GT-I9000M
Firmware Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version I9000UGKG3
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3
[email protected]#2
BuildNumber GINGERBREAD.GKG3
I'm comfortable with ODIN (Used plenty of times to get phone back from the dead a couple of times.)
I've gone through the forums and google as well as youtube. It seems they are always on a custom kernel or firmware before going to CM7, so somethings don't apply.
I'm under the impression that my version does not support CWM recovery and that's why using ROM manager fails with a e-signature error and that changing the kernel can change that.
I know there are some really smart people in here that are already rolling with CM7 I could really use their help. File links that work, and are appropriate for my build and maybe an updated guide for the times.
If you can help me out; thank you so much! If not, I understand people are busy.

Just flash to JVT, root with Chainfire's kernal, and install CM7 with CWM. None of the developers bother with making stuff for UGKG3 since not a lot of SGS ship with it.
I think I remember something about stock firmware and bootloaders.
Download a rom that has 3 files + boot loader. (I think Ramad has some JVT rom that will work)
Flash with odin, click update bootloader. If the rom isn't prerooted or if it doesn't come with CWM then flash a kernal with odin that supports it.
Then you should be able to follow the rest of the steps.

This doesn't apply. Your bootloaders are fine, and you're doing nothing but taking a risk by flashing them for no reason.

Look here. This guy knows what he's talking about.
I've never run into this problem, even though I have an i9000m—but that's probably because when I got my phone, we were still on 2.2. If KG3 is giving you troubles, the simplest solution would be to flash a different stock firmware, and then simply proceed from there. Same thing as the above user posted.
Hope it helps! And sometimes it takes time before the right person stumbles onto your thread. Paitence is a virtue.

i followed step-by-step from the wiki, i did "heimdall flash --kernel zImage" and then the device automatically rebooted... and i am also stuck in this boot loop that goes nowhere...

First of all, thanks again for the link ... i got the first of your advice working properly. I'm running JVT with KG3 modem....
however, for some odd reason I can't flash CM7 through CWM. I've tried the stable and nightly versions and each time I flash, I get the to point where it saids "install package" ... and then it just goes into this infinite loop where I see the standard SDS logo screen, then I see the CM7 SDS logo screen... then i see a bunch of commands that the flash is trying to run, but its too fast and I can't see what its trying to do...
either way, it just loops over and over again... and i gotta use ODIN and flash it again, but still no way to run CM7
any suggestions?

Hi jayallen,
I would like to thank you in advance for looking into this for me. I also want to apologize in advance for I think this would have been asked quite sometimes but unfortunately I am not able to find the right firmware. My phone right now is stuck at the samsung logo screen in the start. It is samsung galaxy s and the provider is Bell Canada. It does go into Downloading mode and I have tried many different .pit, pda, modems, csc files but none have worked. I am sure my phone is I9000M and on the latest version of Android (gingerbread). The phone info I think is very similar to the one below:
Model number
GT-I9000M
Firmware version
2.3.3
Baseband Version:
I9000UGKG3
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3
[email protected] #2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.GKG3
Can you please, paste the links from where I can get the Modem file and the firmware (PDA, CSC, PIT) which will work with Bell network provider. I think I know how to put it on the device. Any help will be greatly appreciated in regards.
Thanks.

I looked at your post but it was confusing for me as i dont know much.
There were two download links..one was boot loader free ..other was different one.
Can you please send me the the right steps and link for downloading
thanks
Another resource is
MobileTechVideos <- good video guides.
That being said, modifiying your phone can lead to hard bricks. So above all read and understand everything. Most of the danger is flashing bootloaders (that's why you see packages with and without bootloaders, to limit the danger). If you corrupt one of the bootloaders or flash 2 different (none matching) bootloaders you need a Jtag or UnbrickableMod service. When flashing Gingerbread you NEED gingerbread bootloaders. Once flashed you are golden and don't have flash those ever again.

i checked above forum where u helped the guy with upgrading UCJI6 to GB.
He had issues while upgrading but eventually he was succesfull.
I could not find which method he used ..
please help me if possible
Read up on how to get in Download mode and how to use ODIN (or Heimdall if you are running a none windows machine). Download a Stock gingerbread rom with bootloaders and flash. The latest is KK4, but i've never used that specific package (though it should have bootloaders) I can speak for KJ3 on that thread.
Basics.
Open ODIN (1 click or not) as admind
Get in download mode (press vol up+voldown+connect to computer
If normal ODIN use the PDA slot and select the .rar.md5 package
Hit start
Let it finish and bootup
???
profit
I'm not responsible if anytthing should go wrong. If odin gets stuck or you do something wrong you will soft brick or possibly hardbrick your phone.
i am giving up.
Can not find any links and steps which are of great help for Upgrading to GB from UCJI6.
Some are going back to 2.1 before upgarding some not.
Dont know what to do
Going back to stock is-was only used for cwm flashes. You will use ODIN. 2 way different things. Follow my steps. Or read through the tons of threads here. It isn't that hard.

he gave up because he couldnt find EXACT instructions on going from one particular FROYO build....because if he had done any actual research, he would know that it doesnt matter what version of FROYO he is on, he will need to flash the ODIN package with the bootloaders....its all covered in the vast damn posts that already cover this extensively. there was ZERO reason to fire up a new thread.
he has been linked to good info and has refused to take heed. reading and UNDERSTANDING is more important than holding hands around here.
Yes we were all noobs once and yes, you need to do your research but he's obviously nervous and not understanding what he's reading right now. Hopefully he'll calm down and understand the information he's been given. We're done here.
Hi all. Couldn't find any posts about this specific problem so here goes:
I'm trying to CM10 on the following device:

I got around this by removing the assert line from updater-script and reflashing and although I see the logo, I get stuck in a boot loop as it tries to finish. Any way to get CM10 working on my GT-P1000R? No one else seems to have this device (it's GSM on Rogers in Canada).
P1000R is just a normal P1000 (M or R, plain P1000)
I have not tried but I am sure CM10 need CM9 first.

I have had the same difficulty flashing the rom for my GT-P1000R, as most roms are designed for the generic GT-P1000 and upon flashing check for the version and stop because ours is specific to Rogers. Exactly what did you do to modify the updater-script and what is the file called in rom ZIP package?
To be honest, ever since I was foolish enough to upgrade to Gingerbread earlier this year I have regretted it, as my Bluetooth no longer works with my HID keyboard. As I believe in going forward is best, I am looking to upgrade to ICS, but as a last resort going back to Froyo (if I can find it) would get me back the functionality I lost.
I would appreciate any help you can provide as I have scoured the net and found very little that deals specifically with our version (GT-P1000R) of the SGT.

Perhaps, but every time I try to flash a rom made for a P1000, the install fails indicating in the error message that it has detected my tablet as being a SGT P1000R, hence my original inquiry. I am sure it is simply a question of updating a config file to fool the installer, but which one?
Have you heard of Overcome method?
It will ensure your system is detected as P1000

Thank you for the links to the Overcome method, and I now have successfully upgraded my former SGT P1000R, Android 2.3.3, to a SGT P1000, Android 2.3.6 - A significant improvement indeed! Unfortunately my test to see if my Bluetooth HID keyboard works with my new and improved SGT came up short - Will pair, but not connect.
After doing some research and coming to the sad conclusion that only an upgrade to ICS will do to get the aforementioned functionality to work, I tried AKOB and CM9 upgrades, following the instructions available. Each and every time I tried the upgrade, the tablet went into an endless loop of reboots indicating an error, which was displayed too quickly to read. I ended up having to restart the Overcome process again to salvage things.
Alas it is late and my quest to get ICS installed on my tablet (unless someone can tell me how to get a connection to my Bluetooth HID keyboard in 2.3.6) will wait for another day. Thanks anyway for the help.

IIRC the endless boot loop is due to the install process complaining that it couldn't find some partitions. When you get to that point you should just reboot to recovery and install the zip again for the 2nd time and it should work then.
I finally have a fully functional SGT P1000, running the latest version of CM9 ICS, and I must say this has breathed new life to my tablet! My sincere thanks for all the assistance I have received, despite what at times must have seemed endless silly questions for the more veteran members here on xda-developers.
Now time to get used to the ICS interface and some of the quirks (e.g. mapping of storage) that come with this new version of Android. However, thanks to the obvious removal of all the "bloatware" that Rogers added, the performance of my tablet is phenomenal! :victory:
Which files for GT-P1000R running on GB2.3.3?

Hi! First of all, thanks for all this information! I Also have a GT-P1000R (Rogers) running on the same gingerbread version UXKG1 and rooted with the original thread. So, literally, my tab is in the EXACT situation from the original thread. I am assuming that in order to flash any custom ROM's, i need my tablet to be recognized as a GT-P1000 . I am reading the manual, and i am wondering which modem to use. Or do I just need to do an update considering I am already running Gingerbread 2.3.3 ? My overall goal is to have my tablet recognized as a GT-P1000 (not with the r) and eventually upgrade to ICS or higher, also for the primary reason of using a bluetooth (hid supported) keyboard...among other things.
I am familiary with Odin and these instructions are great, I am just slightly unclear what to do in the case of already being on gingerbread 2.3.3, but working with a GT-P1000r. Thank you in advance for your help!

I also posted this above to another reply, but am worried it will get missed.
I have the same table you do (GT-P1000R) with Rogers, and it was rooted with the same file you used in this original thread on UXKG1.
Do you recall if you just had to do an update with overcome (since you were also running 2.3.3 , UXKG1 as per your first post) , or did you do a complete overhaul.
If you had to do the entire process, which modem did you use? these are the options given...
-GSM based GT-P1000 Tab (Asia, Europe, Middle East, Occeania/Africa, rest of world, etc..) : use JPZ MODEM
-North American T-Mobile Tab user: use T-Mobile Modem
-AT&T (USA), Tel Cel , etc - use JK3 modem.
I am assuming i would use the NA Tmobile based, considering Rogers is Canada's 'sister company' to T-Mobile? but i want to be sure...
Thanks for the help..as you know..there isn't a lot of info on GT-P1000R version..
Not quite.
Rogers is using 850/1900 MHz , the same as AT&T USA
the term NA T-Mobile there is to differentiate that with the UK T-Mobile, which use the usual European frequency.
so At&T modem ?

Awesome..thanks for clarifying. JUST in case...I will Clarify then that I should use the A&T , etc modem version? Any other tips I should be aware of ...as I am working with a rogers version? Thanks.
Yes, use AT&T modem.
No other tips regarding special treatment, they are identical to normal P1000 except that the modem radio is made to work on 850MHz for the 3G part.
Anything you read about P1000 here applies equally to a P1000R
And you can use the Overcome method to get yourself a CWM recovery to flash ICS.
The link to its latest files and guide is in my signature.
If you are prepared to wipe out everything and start fresh.
Get the GB-stock-safe-v5 package (it has rom, odin, windows drivers, modem files)
and the PDF (read from page 7 onward)
and the Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar format.
Only the kernel, you don't need the Overcome Series 7 rom, if your eventual target is ICS.
Once you completed the step of flashing the kernel, you can reboot to CWM recovery and use that to flash ICS/JB, then its corresponding gapps, and you are done.
Last question...(i hope)

This might sound dumb - but because i've boot looped my galaxy s I9000m before (that STUPID m at the end...just like the r for my tab..) .. i want to make sure what exactly will be happening. I am familiar with Odin and flashing kernels, not so much modems...
My end goal is to EVENTUALLY flash ICS or J/B , but i haven't thought that far as to which one to go with, etc..so i might not do that part for another week or so -whenever i have time.
If i only do the instructions you gave me (for the rom, odin , etc) and the kernel, my tab should be all good to still use in the mean time, until i decide to flash ICS or JB?
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.... I appreciate the assistance, and will be giving 'likes' and donations for SURE for all the help.
Yes, the guide is for Overcome Rom which is stock Samsung based gingerbread Rom.
The look is very closed to stock, but the kernel is improved.
Many are happy with just running it.

I am sorry, but as I read the thread through some more...i am still a bit confused of a couple of things. I know this is really probably a simple process...but bricking my tablet is the last thing i want to do.
Answers to the following would be so helpful:
1) Do I need to install the modem? I am currently on GB 2.3.3 unlocked and rooted. My tablet and root information is the same as the original thread. It is rooted with
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384 . I have not installed a modem before..so not exactly sure when/why this should be done and when it is not necessary to. - or do i ONLY need to go into odin and flash the kernel and rom. I am trying to get my tablet to be recognized as just GT-P1000 not with the r. It is the modem that will change how my tablet is recognized?
2) Do I need to insert a SIM card when I flash Overcome modem (if necessary) and kernel and Rom?
I do have a SIM card capable tablet, but I dont actually have a sim card for it. I use WIFI - and tether it from my phone if i need to. My service provider in Canada, Sasktel, blocks SIm cards from being able to use it in more than one device at a time (lame I know) , so buying a SIM card and not using the radio doesn't make sense. that being said , I DO want to be able to use the radio with a SIM card if i need to, like when I travel overseas and purchase one for their carriers.
Thanks again!
Your current rooting method leave your tab as P1000R, that is why I recommended overcome from scratch.
And I didn't know you are rooted and have cwm
Modem is for mobile network.
Wen you flash with Odin "repartition" , your modem will be wiped out.
A modem is required.
if you never use mobile function, any modem will do.
Remember being P1000R, if you are overseas other than with USA at&t, you only get 2G.
In Europe and Asia the UMTS freq is 2100Mhz and your tab is incapable of doing that.
You not need SIM to flash overcome.
Since you have cwm, you can just flash overcome ROM series 7 from cwm. Try that.

There is a really good CM10 (JB) ROM: sapir-rom.blogspot dot com Sorry for this type of link, but I can't post links yet :$
I just just that, went into my already cwm and flashed the rom - must say...impressive! wifi works (connected to two devices for trial, as i've had issues with this in the past) and works great.
Thank you SOOOOOO much for the help on this. you answered sooo many helpful questions.
TBH - i love this ROM , and i would love to keep it as this. but it is does not have HID bluetooth compatibility. any plans for the future to have this available on this ROM?
MY GT-P1000R is now without the stupid "r" !
