I tried flashing a gb boot loader from ics and it didn't work so I flashed back to stock gingerbread 2.3.4. I tried rooting my phone like I did when I was on froyo but it didn't work..I can't find any other methods.. any links that could help?
You have to use a kernel swap method, our flash Boogs kernel which has a root option in cwm.
You flash the fugu root mod with Odin, which is a kernel.
Then flash the stock kernel with Odin.
You could also install the Corn Kernel and use the CWM options to install root. From there you can choose whether you want to keep running the Corn Kernel or flash back to stock.
If you're just going to go back to ICS, you don't need root

I use Odin one click first then. Odin 1.7 to flash speed kernel use CMW from it to Flash GB or ICS ROMs.

Or better yet, Odin to KK4, let boot until your passed the 3G screen, Odin the Talon kernel, boot to CWM recovery, and then flash your selected ICS ROM... (don't flash the ICS kernel first... it will cause problems... I found out the hard way)

if you don't want to do kernel swap or any flashing you can install superoneclick on you PC and then connect your mobile and click on root button on superoneclick and your crappy will get rooted
I rooted mine crappy running gb with soc about 3 months ago

Hi I installed JVK no probs then installed the ext 4 but something went wrong so i flashed back to JM1 with odin using 3 files and checking re-partition, which is what ive got now but i am tring to root it so i can restore in CWM, but i cant root it, so far ive tried Z4root. OCroot. and flashing chainfires kernel all of which does not work. I also have a copy of O2 file from JJ which i have tried to flash but that just goes to loop. can anyone helpplease im starting to pull my hair out. I can get download and my pc does have drivers many thanks
flash something newer using odin.
JM1 is really old now, flash to froyo and flash a kernel such as speedmod, then flash what you like from recovery

flash speedmod through odin, no need for any other tools as speedmod kernel has root option
Hey all, just revived my old captivate, was going to put ICS on it, was attempting to root, but the one click root program wasn't working, was hanging while rooting.
I tried factory wipe, and now I get stuck in a boot loop, it will boot the i896 bootscreen, the the Rogers screen, then reboot.
I've tried from there connecting to Kies, but it won't recognize it. I tried flashing stock Eclair to it using Odin, still bootloops, tried one click odin, still boot loops.
Any thoughts? Am I missing some obvious noob step? I don't have CWM or anything on it, just a stock 2.1 that won't boot.
Just tried flashing the AT&T firmware, same deal. Get past the ATT bootscreen, then the Galaxy S screen then it reboots.
Flashed Froyo, and it boots! But I can't root If I flash back to 2.1, back to bootloop.
Try to search around the forum for the stock recovery without signature checks. Once you have that, you can flash a rom. And most custom roms comes pre-rooted. You can also flash a kernel with Clockworkmod recovery built in, and flash the rom via CWM. Just read the Rom thread about installing.

Thanks, looking for that now, any idea where it might be to narrow my search? Hopefully this helps.
I think it should be in android development forum, in this captivate section. If your on a computer, you can search for it using the search box at the top.

If you're on Froyo, look for the speedmod kernel. If you can flash that via Odin/Heimdall, you should have root and CWM on your Froyo build.
The other option would be to flash a stock Gingerbread rom with CWM baked in - I believe that 4-2ndtwin has a KK4-based one-click with CWM and Gingerbread bootloaders in the Stock Roms Collection thread.

Flashed the Kernel through Odin, but on reboot there was no sound and the touchscreen didn't work. Managed to get into CWM, so I'll see how things go.
The kernel worked, got to CWM and flashed CM9, thanks for the help!
Hi there, I rooted my GT-I9000M on KG3 FW using this FW http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23560333&postcount=498 , downloaded Superuser and busybox, downloaded ROM Manager, flashed CWM, but when I'm trying to install custom roms, it boots up on Android System Recovery 3e instead of CWM Recovery. Did I missed something or I need to do something else to make it work ?
I've got the exact same problem.
Flashed stock kg3 pda,phone,csc
Flashed rooted kg3 (pda only in odin)
Installed superuser and busybox which seem to work correctly
installed rom manager and download cmw recovery.
Tried rebooting in cmw recovery and it does not work...
I don't think the cwm is the same...I believe that is just the simplest root directory possible, nothing more. Try flashing jvt or jw5 in pda and root that after with appropriate root kernel. Then you will have no issues. Besides there are no custom roms for kg3 anyway.

This is a good guide by All Gamer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
I already saw that guide, but the JVP ROM is not available anymore. I googled it and I can't find it !
Guys just flash jw5 under pda and use the kg3 modem and csc. Then flash semaphore 2.7.4. tar. Problem solved. I have a bell Canada phone myself and this setup works great. Then you can flash ics or whatever in cwm. If you don't like ics, I recommend Dmore3.3 for jw5.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Is there any rooted kernel out there which I could use with stock kg3 rom and modem without losing anything at all?
So I could use cmw recovery for a nandroid backup of my phone?
thanks
I just did what vanisleryan said, but I still got the Android System Recovery 3e not the CWM Recovery. I'm totally lost now ...

Bud I'm running a custom rom installed through cwm and the instructions I gave are what I'm running right now. If you're rooted with the semaphore 2.7.4 kernel than you have cwm. Not sure what you did wrong? Go and install the cwm apk I think it's available in the chainfire thread.

OK, I figured how to get to CWM. When I'm trying to install the MIUI ROM, I got bootloops. Did I do something wrong or it's just an imcompatible ROM ?

Not sure but I think you might just need to pull the battery when it boot loops and go back into cwm with 3 button combo, install again and should complete install. It probably tells you installation instructions on thread. Man if you don't end up like miui then try Dmore3.3... It's rock solid and resembles ics but runs on gb.

I successfully installed MIUI and I love it. The only thing annoying is that it's showing numbers instead of my carrier name.
Maybe you need to install a different modem, where in the world do you live?

I started out trying to go from some 2.x rom (May have been Serendipity) to the CM10 v4 (JB), which worked fine. I stayed on the v4 for a few days, then v6 came out and I tried to update to that. I got Status 7 errors no matter what I did (redownloaded rom several times, did everything I could think of and everything suggested in other threads), so I gave up on that and decided to just go back to GB. All stock roms I've flashed through Odin have worked just fine.
So, I flash UCKJ3 (stock GB 2.3.5) with bootloaders using Odin, but the recovery on that version doesn't let me switch over to CWM for some reason, so I use Odin to go back to UCJF6 (stock Eclair 2.1) without bootloaders and use the recovery there to switch to CWM. Now I'm in CWM and trying to flash KK4 Legend 5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391192), and it all goes fine. I reboot and get the Corn Kernel loading screen, the loading bar fills... and then it freezes on that screen.
I then flash back to stocks using the same process and flash the MPD version of KK4 Legend 5, same problem. I also tried flashing Corn Kernel 7.0A, rather than 7.06 which comes with the rom. Some people said that helped, but it didn't.
Okay, I'll just use a different rom. I figured since I was using Serendipity before, I'll try that. I download 6.4, and flash back to stock UCJF6, like the instructions say to, then install Serendipity through CWM. It "boots" to a black screen with the bottom four buttons lit up.
Am I doing something wrong that is causing these roms to fail?
Edit: I am now using Odin to flash UCKJ3 (stock GB 2.3.5) with bootloaders, then using Odin to flash the kernel with CWM. When I install KK4 Legend 5 from that CWM, it bootloops when the loading bar gets to the middle.
Perplexing.
That kj3 Odin package must not be Re-partitioning...
Try using one of the i897ucKK4 One Clicks in my post here... Stock i897ucKK4, Odin or Heimdall, Full Wipe, Re-partition, with or without GB Bootloaders .
This should get u takin care of. No need to flash the ones with gb bootloaders if u already have them installed. Once u r on kk4, then Odin flash the KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A and go from there to install Dev Rom.

From what I rember that kj3 package does not do a repartition. Its great if you don't need the repartition cause it has a cwm kernel baked in. But coming from an ICS ROM you will need the repartition found in the one click previously mentioned because ICS uses a different partition table.
Ok so using Odin oneclick to unbrick my semibrick samsung captivate its all set and good, but then i root it. Thats successful as well, but then i try to use odin 3.07 to install the GB Kernel after installing the rooted MUGU into it and when my phone boots it INSTANTLY glitches and i have to go back to Odin oneclick to bring it back to 2.1 which i believe is Eclair.
Any help would be appreciative and thank you
I believe ur problem is that u r trying to flash a GB kernel on Eclair firmware. So...
Update to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread here...Stock GB i897ucKK4
You will need to use a one click with the GB Bootloaders. Heed all warnings about flashing BLs. U do not want to break the connection during the few seconds that the bootloaders are being flashed, i.e. power, usb/micro usb cable. And once u have flashed the Stock GB KK4 one click with bootloaders, there is no need for u to flash back to stock eclair with its bootloaders. If u ever need to flash back to a Stock firmware to fix something or whatever, just use one of the KK4 one clicks without the bootloaders included.
Get Root and/or KK4 Corn Kernel that has CWM Recovery included so that u can move on to flashing Dev Roms here...[Utility] KK4 Easy Root. See post 4 in this thread for a working download link.
Read carefully. Read some more. Understand what ur doing and the risks involved. Proceed. Enjoy. Be sure to at least hit the Dev's thanks buttons because they have worked hard and spent a lot of time doing what they do.
Ok so if i remember correctly(i am not on my comouter right now) odin 3.07 has a BL slot and the PDA slot. If i input the GB BL into the BL slot and the KK4 into the kernel slot would i be able to run them under the same odin setup or would i have to run the BL restart my phone into download mode and THEN run it again? Sorry im a huge noob when it comes to flashing, i onlt found out about it from my stepdad who put Darkstar on his Note
