[Q] Don't wanna brick my phone.......Please, advise...

I have done reading a lot of post recently.
I brick'ed my cappy once, I reflash the stock kernel, and it came back alive.
After that, I managed flashing my I897 into Foyo 2.2 and with Cog 2.4.1 Rom.
So far so good.
I am still very afraid of brick my cappy again.
So, I decided post question here, just to clear my mind.
If I wanna flash it into an I9000 Rom from Cog 2.4.1 Rom
What are the right steps ??
My current system config is listed here
Firmware 2.2
Baseband Version - I897 UCJJ4
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9
Build Number - Cognition. v2.4.1

The best thing you can do is decide which i9000 Rom you want to flash to and read the OP of that thread for exactly how to flash. It is gonna require both odin and clockwork though. Which Rom are you wanting to go to?

From your opinion, which I9000 Rom is most popular ?? (This might be the best one i think)
Is it ganna be better than Cog's I897 rom ??

Really I prefer to stick with cognition but there is no denying that setirons kernel is the best one going right now but it doesn't play well with cognition. If I was going to go i9000 I would use mikeymikes conversion of docs Rom...it looks really nice and everyone in that thread loves it.

[Q] Help me install MIUI 2.3.4 (MGv1)

Hello!
Can you please help me install MIUI 2.3.4 (MGv1)?
I have Android 2.3.3 official in my Galaxy S. I have Clockwork Mod.
Do I have to install some 2.2 ROM before installing MIUI?
Link to the MIUI guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Best regards, Galaxy S Subben.

yes you'll need to flash a 2.2 ROM before you can flash MIUI.
All i did was go to samfirmware.com and flashed the 2.2.1 XXJPY as pda with no repartition. took less than 5 minutes to flash, and then followed the MIUI guide exactly as written in the second post of that thread, and have had no issues whatsoever.

flash official froyo firmware to get the correct froyo bootloader, then simply follow the installation from the first page of the miui thread. works everytime for me

The best way is to flash JPU becaus it brings a new bootloader to you.
Then i´ve read that its good to flash the MIUI RC7 stock first and then the MGv2 in the recovery.

Just an update to my previous post, search the forums for ezbase and use that to go to a 2.2 rom, it is easy as pie to do, and their instructions are easy to follow.

I swear by ezbase too, great as a recovery image

How to flash gingerbread rom over froyo rom

Hi there.
I'm running deodexed Froyo 2.2.1 right now from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
I want to flash Gingerbread but I'm lost with bootloaders. The roms in there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790 does not have bootloader also Im not sure if I need one.
Could someone guide about the bootloader thing and how to flash deodexed gingerbread via odin.
Thanks!

C check out ezbase 3 rom, straight flash with odin 3 as per instructions, will give you rooted rom and im pretty sure its deodexed find it in development

Thanks!
But just to be clear: EZBase is a stock deodexed rom with bootloader in it?
Because I want to install the stock gingerbread (XXJVK probably) but I'm confused about the whole bootloader stuff.
Thanks again!

Read the ezbase thread, u can go for froyo or gb, just follow instructions, its all there with link to instructions with screen shots

Simply is based on JVQ 2.3.4 so you would need the Gingerbread bootloaders.
Look at [ROM]I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Optional Fugu Root to ge "stock" Gb on your phone first.

Upgrading from Froyo to ICS

So my old phone is no used by my sister and is still running Fusion ROM on Android 2.2. For some reason the wifi is no longer working and I figure I would upgrade to ICS since I am redoing things anyway. I read another thread where a guy flashed straight from Froyo to ICS and is running ok, but I remember going from Android 2.1 to 2.2 was a pain and I had to wipe, flash back to stock, flash new bootloaders, and then the Froyo ROM. I would assume going all the way to ICS which has major changes would also require something complex but just want to be sure about the process. So am I supposed to use Odin to flash stock Gingerbread and bootloaders before I upgrade to ICS? Or is it really fine and all will work if I just flash an ICS based ROM from where I am right now?
I am thinking of flashing the SlimICS ROM unless someone can tell me a reason why that ROM is not very good?
Currently the phone has the 2.2 firmware, i897UCKB1 baseband, 2.6.32.9 kernel, and is running Fusion 1.9.8 ROM. I am not sure on the bootloader version, but I have a file on my PC from a long time ago called "galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5" that I think I probably used to update the bootloader all that time ago when I moved to Froyo.

See TRusselo's "[Guide] How to flash ANY Captivate Rom from Stock (including ICS)" that is a stickied thread in the Q&A Forum...

So, your saying I should flash to stock and then flash to gingerbread before moving to ICS then?

Nope. Just Read the OP of that Guide and all will be clear... Just Read the 1st sentence of that OP...Lol
