Hello guys. I'm gonna to buy this phone in 3 days. I have Xperia™ X8 with 2.3.7 and nAa Kernel now so I am not newbie in Custom ROM's and Kernels. I know all what i need about ICS on my current device because in forum is a lot of tutorials..But I didn't find this on Captivate forum so my question is can someone say me the following things?
I want ICS ROM:
I know that I need root my phone sure.
1. Recovery install process is this?? -- Root my phone. Using "Root Explorer" put some files to system and reboot. (This process is from my X8)
2. Which ICS ROM is best?
3. I think that I need new kernel right? If yes which one is best for ICS? (On X8 Custom Kernel has Built-in recovery is it same on Captivate?)
4. Do I need Unlock Bootloader or do something like this??
If someone can put links for ROM, Kernel (If needed), Recovery and guide me how to change my Kernel and Flash ROM?
Please I really don't want to see some answers as "Keep 2.2 if you don't know how to do it"...I really want HELP. I believe that there is someone who can help me.
Thanks.
Sorry for my bad English.
Actually, not quite. I have this little guide that explains it. I hope it helps!
For a couple of your other questions:
-There is no "Best" ROM. The best ROM is the ROM that works best for you. The only way to find that out is to keep trying them out until one of them stands out. Personally, I like CM9 because of the features. But that's just me.
-Once you're on ICS, you don't need to change the kernel. You can, if you'd like. All custom ROMs and kernels come with ClockworkMod recovery
-Galaxy S phones don't have locked bootloaders or fastboot or anything of that nature.
THANK YOU !!! It's really nice guide...but you said that i don't need change my kernel but how can i flash rom from stock 2.2 and stock kernel ?? You said that roms and kernels come with CWM Recovery but on stock kernel i need to install recovery first right? Can i use Rom Manager to install recovery on stock kernel ???

that kernel only exists on your phone as quickly as you can boot into CWM and flash your rom of choice. so answering the first part of your question doesnt matter. it has cwm.
ALL captivate roms come with a kernel. every time you flash a rom it replaces the previous kernel.
Flashing bootloaders is the ONLY way to brick a captivate. Only do it once. Dont unplug your phone durring the 10 second flash. NEVER EVER EVER EVER FLASH "3 button fix" after flashing gingerbread bootloaders. #1 it is NOT needed and #2 it WILL brick your phone. only flashes half the bootloader.
Okey guys, thank you for answers I'm gonna try it on monday when I buy this phone.... Is camera fully working on AOKP Milestone 4 ROM or better is to install Build 31 ??
I want ICS with all working features is there one which has all features working ? If no is Build 31 by Kang good choice for me or you recommend some other ICS ROM?
Yeah I know guys a lot of questions but don't worry this is my last question
oh you dont even have the phone yet?? that explains some of the questions...

It's not hard, just read the tutorials posted here, and you wont have a problem. When I first bought my Captivate, the first day I got it from at&t, I flashed CWM and flashed a custom ROM without any trouble. The first ROM I flashed was Serendipity 6.4, and the dev's made it so easy, they explain everything from start to finish.
But, I highly recommend you buy a Jig before you go and flash anything. search on ebay or mobiletechvideos for a JIG. You can recover your phone from any Soft Brick state that can occur, with a Jig. Just don't go and mess around with bootloaders, if you do something wrong flashing a bootloader, then it might just Hard Brick your phone. If you do need to flash a bootloader, make sure you read everything that the dev posted about installing, then try to do it yourself.
Please, anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Ever since upgrading to 2.3.3 I've been having random freezes that usually end up in needing a battery pull or pressing down on the power button until the phone reboots itself. i already did a fcty reset. my firmware is ZSJV6.
Another thing of note is that it seems to be the UI or input process that hangs or dies or something. Because whatever's running keeps running I just can't make the phone respond to touch or any of the hard buttons. what do u think is wrong?
Try 2.3.4 or move to a custom rom.

Thats good... now dump your stock firmware and move over to a Custom ROM. A custom ROM is a customised version of a stock ROM usually featuring enhancements and better stability.
There are a large number of custom ROMs for the i9000... try out CyanogenMOD or MIUI ROM.... Check out the DEV sections for the links or head over to their respective websites... Have fun

I believe Cyanogen doesnt have a stable build for the i9000 yet.... I'd recommend MIUI... You can also try out the other one's such as Darky's ROM... Go through the features of each ROM to decide which is best for you

im not that techy to be honest. i just follow whatever is instructed of me. can u help me?
I would suggest juwes smart edition, very stable and good and safe. So try it out first and then go to more specialized and hardcore roms like CM7 or MIUI.
Check out this link of Gingerreal rom for all the necessary downloads and flashing instructions.
Basically you should flash stock XXJVP, JVQ, JVR first and then flash a custom kernel like Semaphore or Galaxian and then flash the custom kernel via CWM in recovery.
HOME+VOL UP+POWER Buttons = RECOVERY MODE
HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER Buttons = DOWNLOAD MODE
Flash with Darky'w 10.2RE then you can upgrade it with 10.2.1

I think u got the idea from the above posts...
First, an intro abt me. Had a Rokr E8 for yrs altogether, flashed it with RSA BL and Modded MPs, so basically, I have an idea on general stuff
Got my first Android, an unlocked SE Xperia X8, ( Decided over the SGY, which also happens to be in the same price range ) on a good deal.
I went thru most of the forums, posts and guides and have a relatively good idea, so I thought before i get into it, I'll clarify some stuff.
In order to flash a custom rom, I should do -
Step 1. Update my phone from 1.6 to 2.1 by PC suite.
Step 2. Root with Superoneclick
Step 3. Install Clockwork Recovery and do the related stuff as in the guide.
Step 4. Download a custom rom and put it in SD card, and flash.
Have I got it right here, or am I making a mistake?
Went thru a review of Roms on the forum ( good post, that ) and realised each rom has its ups an downs, N i m considering either the time-tested Froyobread or the Gingerdx. I c that Froyobread ( based on miniCM6 with 2.2 ) has a problem with pairing with BT headsets, and no DSP for sound. Whereas the GingerDX ( CM7.1 - And 2.3.7 ) has camera issues. But in the latest post v22 of GDx, camera issue happens to be fixed? So , I m planning to go for this, are there any other bugs?
In the same review, the author has mentioned that some of the Roms have some bugs that can be ironed out with a Custom Kernel, and I c there is one by NobodyAtAll and one called Afas... Is this necessary, if so, where does this step come? Suggest a good combo of Kernel and Rom pls....
Abt Bootloader? Should i unlock it to have Custom rom?
That means, in addition to the 4 steps that I have listed, do i have to flash Custom kernel and unlock bootloader too?
Finally, one more Qs, I c that all the roms are based on CM's work. I noticed that there is a Stable CM 7.1 mod on their site, put up on Oct 10th, 2011. Can I just flash this basic CM7.1 rather than the customised ROMs based on it? What would be the difference? It says it is a Stable Mod, so does that mean wifi,camera, android market etc all work?
Wow, so many qustions, I hope u guys have the patience to clear this noob's doubts...

Kk, here goes, a long reply...
The order to flash a ROM depends on the ROM you are going to use.
In my opinion, GingerDX is the best ROM. The camera and DSP Manager is fully working.
For bugs, click here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409113
As mentioned in the thread above, 80% of the bugs can be fixed using a custom kernel. For GingerDX, I recommend using Alfs v6. Plus, you have better performance too.
About bootloader, you don't need to unlock it to install ROMs. But as for kernels, that is a must.
Almost all ROMs is based on CM6 & CM7, with the exception of some 2.1 ROMs. The stable CM7 is good, everything working, but using ROMs posted here in Xda, you have more features.
Every custom ROM will have some bugs, some major ones, some minor ones.

Since u r saying that a custom kernel removes 80 % of bugs, and unlocking bootloader is required for it, am I right in saying this is my order of doing things -
Step 1. Update my phone from 1.6 to 2.1 by PC suite.
Step 2. Root with Superoneclick
Step3. Unlock bootloader
Step 4. Install custom rom
Step 5. Install Clockwork Recovery and do the related stuff as in the guide.
Step 6. Download a custom rom and put it in SD card, and flash.
Is the order right?

Well, about the steps...
As I said, the steps depend on the ROM you want to use. For the bootloader, yes, use the original 2.1 ROM to do that. You also need to root first.

What lucastan96 left out ...
BEFORE even trying to unlock the boot loader turn off the phone, take out the battery and look at the sticker below. There's a date code denoted.
If your phone is 11W29 or newer (11W30, 11W31, ...) DO NOT attempt to unlock the boot loader! You're going to end up with a hard brick you can NOT resurrect yourself!
If you can't unlock the boot loader this does not mean you can't use custom ROMs ... you only need to unlock the boot loader to use custom Kernels (Kernel != ROM).
Wow, Thanks about that bootloader info.... will check under my battery...
Think of the bootloader as a pre-loader for your OS on pc (Say Windows). In other words, it's the base where the ROM and the kernel is booted. So if you unlock the bootloader you can install different kernels.This improves the performance and the abilities of your phone. By having bootloader locked, it doesnt mean that you cannot install custom roms, its just that some of them require specific kernels...
Hope I helped, if I am wrong correct me

And if you want to relock bootlader, you'll first need to flash your default kernel or else you may brick your phone

Greetings.
I am the first time user planning to flash my 16GB Galaxy Note GT-N7000 phone (from Asia).
Previously I have been hard bricked my phone (MoBo damaged) due to improper / incorrect kernel flashing ROM. Already sent to Service Centre for replacement of MoBo under warranty. Now it's in the progress and I should be expecting it back in the couples of days.
Anyhow, I still prefer third party ROMs with awesome GUI. I plan to "try" flashing again when my phone is back.
This time, I would take more caution while doing this stuff. My request is, for first time new user like me, which ROM is recommended (plus suitable Kernel type which is more power saving and low temperature operating)?
I mean here maybe pointing more to what I so call close to "Samsung Custom ROM". I think that should be more convenient and safer for me rather than trying completely on new AOSP type for the first time. This is only my own opinion
What say you? Again, thanks for your recommendation. Have a nice day
i recommend you first try to read the rules of posting mate...requesting a move to the Q & A section...
ps...3 posts and already in the development section? hmm...
Moved To Q&A
This is in no way development, please post in the correct section. Anybody wondering the reason why this user can post in the dev section is due to the amount of time he has been a member. We thought a user with a long membership would be aware of such a basic rule, guess not
cleanote seems what you asking for. It's a clean rom based on stock, but very smooth
Honestly,i think every rom the Dev created are great.Just read through the OP of the each rom to see what rom is fit your style ( like you go to mall looking for shoe is fit you) and try it .Wish you luck...:victory:
Yeah, right. read through the OP and intructions a few times to be sure first.
Dudes, sorry for wrong posting in other section. I've been quite long time never browsing through this forum. That's why not familiar with the rules.
As my friend recommended me to search from XDA which is one of the best ROMs forum, here I am back again
BTW, what does OP stand for?
I have viewed through few threads in ROM dev section. Honestly, I'm still digesting the contents and descriptions...
Also, I require Chinese input or viewing too (forgot to state).
So far, I have been read through Criskelo ROMs (I like its GUI i.e. close to GS3 too), Fusion ROMs, CM9 ROMs etc. Not sure if these ROMs may fulfill what I've been requested?? Safe Kernels (this really worries me from what I've been experienced before----hardbricked! scare!)?
Thanks for your comment.
I would recommend CRASH rom...you can request the DEV for your Chinese stuff...its touchwizz base...safe kernel and very smooth with NO BUGS at all..:good:
For the awesome user interface I would say Paranoid Android (CM9, not CM10).
For the chinese stuff, I think Criskelo's rom supports it"• ADD Chinese Keyboard (on request)"
I'm not really sure if that's what you're asking for.
I think PA also supports chinese.
I don't think there are "new users" roms. Just read carefully the instructions and you should be fine.

Hi, let's say if I would like to flash Criskelo ROM, which safe Kernel shall I choose to use?
Speedmod, AbyssNote, GL Notecore (never heard, is it safe kernel)??
I just got back my phone with default stock GingerBread 2.3.6 (correction) ROM, without any rooting after repairing
Make sure you read the details on Rooting and flashing your phone.
NEVER WIPE / RESET on ICS Stock Kernels/ ROMS..
There's a lot of info in Dr. K's Stock ROM thread..
As for what ROM to use - I'd say CleaNote is probably what you're after, very close to stock with bloat removed. Bundled with the Dev's own Kernel...
Anyway, Good luck and remember to read, read and read again before you start messing around and bricking your device again..

Thanks for your advice. Actually I'm on stock GB 2.3.6 ROM now.
Should I flash any safe kernel before installing CleaNote ROM (as recommended)? Root required?
Also, what is "bloat removed"?

First your anwwer to what OP stands for it means "Original Post" .
Secondly, as you are on stock GB, you are safe from the Brickbug & can very well flash as you like, but keep in mind two things:
1- Read, re read & follow to the point the ROM developers installation instruction.
2- Do not Wipe / factory reset from any unsafe kernel. Only wipe from a safe kernel, i.e., GB & in case of ICS those with their MMC_CAP_ERASE command disabled like Speedmod K3-11, GL Notecore, etc.
Pls. read the stick section for additional information
By the way I would recommend Kingdroid Notemania Version 5.1.1 (With S3 Touchwiz UI Mods) with Speedmod Kernel for ICS K3-11 (Good performance & better battery)

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Noted your ROM & kernel recommendation. I've downloaded Criskelo v10.1 ROM previously (few hours downloading due to my slow internet connection). Thus, I plan to try this ROM first.
Actually, should I install any safer kernel even if this ROM contains it?
And, the correct steps for installation are ----> 1. root first 2. flash any so called CF_rooted_CWM_xxxx for GB ROM? 3. full wipe 4. flash this ROM in recovery mode?
actually you really should read, a LOT.

I've downgraded to stock GB ROM 2.3.5 (XXKK1 in my region). Then, I used InitialCFRootFlasher (CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5) to root + CWM as guided by owner of the OP. Would both different XX and ZS kernel types affect anything in term of phone functionality?
Finally, I found SuperUser and CWM in the menu as per attached pictures. Rooted, right?
What would be my next step to flash Criskelo v10.1 ROM? Thanks.
Your next step should have been second after rooting gb, back efs up, see my profike page, statistics and then backup thread I started

Hi all,
First of all, sorry if my questions been asked million times, I did try search and read through the forum for days, still not sure.
I had my cappy since 2009, flashed couple times to custom roms with some experts assistant here. Was using HTC EVO 3D for half a year..... and dont like it, and i gave it to my wife, coming back to cappy. l like the captivate community here. a lot more developers and good roms for cappy.
I have done couple days reading on the captivate Q&A, Development, and general section, also, search through youtub and google. no tutorial for flashing from custom rom to JB. I cannot be sure which is the correct flashing procedures for me. Since I was missing half a year time following the captivate thread.
My cappy is using,
FireFly 3.0
Baseband version: I9000UGJK4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected]
1) In order to flash to Jelly bean, what would be the safest way to flash?
2) if flashing CyanogenMod 10, I have read the procedure for flashing CyanogenMod 10, sounds like no Odin needed, just flash from internal SD?
Any help would be highly appreciated

I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL. YOU VETO THE RIGHT TO SUE ME
Steps to get you to CM9 (i personally am having trouble going to cm10)
I take things one step at a time to not mess up anything.
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
a) make sure you have ATT Gingerbread bootloaders
b) install CWM via the kernel
c) if fails odin back to stock(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843) and repeat (should work)
2) download cm7 from ( http://get.cm/?device=captivatemtd )
a) mount storage and place inside
b) from CWMRecovery follow instructions for flashing (look on internet) to wipe everything and install from zip (itll reboot)
3) download Glitch kernel for cm9 (maybe you might need to do this if you experience boot loops, or error)
4) flash cm9 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592141&highlight=kernel)
5)....
Hey bro,
Dont worry, I understand the risk of bricking. I really appreciate your detailed info. I am gonna follow your instruction to flash tonight when I get home.
Some more things tho, I have a rogers cappy means I896, should I get rogers bootloader instead? And what if I flash some ROM which is not CM based, would the procedure any different? Cuz heard ppm saying after flashing CM based ROM is harder to get back normal ROMs because of different file system structure.
By reading some threads, there ppl saying ICS can understand any boot loader, so I don't have the flash it? Cuz I heard flashing that is most risky.
Lastly, I would like to thank you by at least clicking your thanks meter, but is not on your signature. Or could u tell me to click that.
Again, I really appreciate your help

Hi Everyone
After waiting for a year now and it seems that Samsung didn't released any newer updates for my Note GT-N7000 at my country. I was hoping for them to release an update to prevent that "MMC_CAP_ERASE bug? that causes hardbrick" that i have been hearing around here..
But now i got tired of waiting and Now I want to try to root/flash to a safe custom rom, Since i am currently having some problems with my Note now. It's acting a little weird like apps not functioning properly and deleting a small MB file on Internal Memory it takes very long to get it deleted Annoying artifacts appearing during at Dark or Black scenes while watching a video. Using Earphones while watching a video the audio sometimes got muted itself then for a few seconds it resumes back with audio back on repeatedly.
I have only experience on rooting and flashing my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 but i had a soft brick thanks to the person who posted misleading instructions that causes this to happen. But eventually i managed to recovered from the soft brick and successfully flashing to a JB custom rom
Yeah before you asked me "have you read this Important thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 " Yes I have already read everything on the first post by dr ketan at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

Build Number IMM76D.DXLR5
Here are my questions,
[Q Number 1]
I have already read everything on the first post by dr ketan. I notice there's so many of methods to root the Note. But I'm not sure which one is the safest and easiest method to Root and Flash Hopefully someone here is kind to guide me through the process since this is my first time rooting and flashing on a Note GT-N7000 running on Android 4.0.4 Stock ICS.
[Q Number 2]
There's tons of JB custom roms everywhere! I'm not sure which one is the best and popular one. I'm looking for a fast and stable Jellybean custom rom that are currently available for my Note GT-N7000.
I will be waiting and checking this thread regularly

Hi Everyone
After waiting for a year now and it seems that Samsung didn't released any newer updates for my Note GT-N7000 at my country. I was hoping for them to release an update to prevent that "MMC_CAP_ERASE bug? that causes hardbrick" that i have been hearing around here..

The safest and easiest way to flash ROM and get ROOT at the same time is using Odin Mobile, which offers option for getting ROOT.
You can use Stock ROM LT4.
For most popular custom ROMs : Eybee1970, Team Union, Alliance, Sweet,
ThaiDai ROM for slim and mutillanguage, Glory ROM also for multilanguage with mods.
There are a lot of other good ROMs here, you have to read more to find out what suits better to your taste.

Bump for more replies
The safest and easiest way doesn't exist. It's up to you.
And best Rom threads and questions are simply against XDA policy, read the rules and you'll see.

Hello there
I'm really sorry if i just break some of the rules here. I wonder if it's okay for me to just follow the recommended method 1A by dr ketan ? Now i am in PhilZ thread i suppose i have to find my own Galaxy Note Kernel Version first right ? which is DXLR5 so i guess i have to download this kernel here http://www.mediafire.com/?c2jmfqnwajw8ei1 .PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v3.99 Then flash it in the menu called Stock Recovery (VolumeUP+HOME+POWER button)
I found out that my Baseband version has a DXLR1 in there. Should i be worry on this ?
The PhilZ kernel file listed v3.99 there. my Kernel Version is 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032, Example when i managed to flash that kernel. I guess that my Kernel Version will changed to like 3.9.9.9 am i right ? or it is not okay to just flash to latest updated kernel like v3.99 ?
I hope it's okay to just answer my newbie questions here. I need someone to help me and tell me whether if i did it right or wrong.
Thank you very much

No problem when you see :
- Baseband DXLR1
- Difference between 3.99 and 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032.The first is the Philz own version, the second is the Samsung one.
It's normal.

1.As far as rooting method is concerned on said thread, all the methods are safe. there are pros and cons of different method and already mentioned on thread.
I do recommend 1A, as it will root device as well gives you protection from brick bug and without raising flash counter too. So in case you want to go that way, download LR5 philx kernel in zip version and flash from stock recovery.
2.See ROM selection is totally depends on own taste, you can never rely on others answer, but best way go through OP of custom ROM thread, read features mentioned, read some reviews/bugs and try it yourself. that's the only and best way.

First of all, Dr Ketan Thank you very much for helping me with this. I really appreciate your help Yeah i understand what you're trying to mean about that custom ROMs I will take a look at all of them later.
But now I want to see if i got it right again. I will flash it after you give me the final confirmation i need :victory:
1. Find my own stock Kernel build code DXLR5 then go to PhilZ thread and find PhilZ Kernel that listed my Kernel code which is PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v3.99 then download it After that Connect a USB cable to the computer + Note then copy the PhilZ kernel and place at Root dir of External microSD card then turn off Galaxy Note, then hold VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER button for a few seconds to boot in Stock Recovery Menu then flash it at there. am i right ?
Last question here, Finding a Custom Rom that suit my needs might take awhile since i haven't read all of them yet. But i wonder if it's okay to stay in Stock ICS Android 4.0.4 + PhilZ Kernel ?

1.Yes, but remember you have to select zip version of kernel not tar
obviously there is nothing wrong to stay on stock with safe kernel till you couldn't find out best custom ROM for you.

Okay Yeah i got the signed version instead of that .tar version which is for ODIN.
Good News! i just flashed it and it works! I have SuperSU application installed. I really appreciate all your help that you have done dr ketan thank you very much. Now i have PhilZ CWM kernel. does it uses the same buttons to activate it like the stock recovery ? VOLUMEUP+HOME+POWER BUTTON,
