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 if i flash back to stock and i want to flash apex or pinnacle i need to be on gb bootloaders, which one? Links... And i need to flash the correct kernal? Boogs kh3 can someone advise me. I watch youtube clips from mobile tech and the process is flash the BL first then kernal then flash the zip from CWM. Some of the rom threads seem vague on the steps in flashing bootloaders and kernals. I have flashed cm7 and im on cognition now but i want to try some other GB roms for my i897 after i use odin to flash back to jf6.

does not matter what kernel you flash after you flash the bootloaders. it is temporary and just used for cwm. any rom you flash after the kernel will have its own compatible kernel included.
the I897 GB bootloaders are just a click away
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!

Okay well to put it simply, just flash a GB kernel like speedmod through ODIN, download the stock KK4 at&t rom (I think there's a full dump of it in the previous post), and flash it through CWM once both of those steps are done. If you want your kernel to be back to stock, then find the stock KK4 kernel and flash that .tar file through ODIN as well after you've done the last two steps outlined. An alternative to that would be Heimdall one-click to stock KK4 package which would totally put it back to stock.
Hi, I tried changing my battery with rom toolbox and accidentally got it at an AT&T boot logo loop, I tried going into recovery and wiping but have the same problem and I can get it into download mode ive also tried redoing the kernel in Odin. Idk what to do now. Btw my phone is rooted but the battery thing is what caused the problem because my phone froze and i rebooted.
If u had a Dev'd Rom runnin before the trouble, just reboot into recovery and reinstall the Rom. Try that first.
And more info about what rom u r runnin would be useful. More info = :thumbup: and less info = :what:
But if u were just stock with root...u may just have to Odin or Heimdall back to Stock.

Yea i tried flashing before all of this i was trying to upgrade to jelly bean from gingerbread could you maybe give me some instructions to reinstall the gingerbread (or maybe upgrade to jelly bean if possible) sorry i'm kinda new to messing with my phone like this. im running gingerbread 2.3.5 currently and had the KK4 stock kernal idk what i should do with that though
Well since u r running stock kk4 then u r good with the kk4 bootloaders. So basically all u need is a kernel that has cwm recovery included...like the KK4 Corn Kernel. Odin flash the .tar version of it. Reboot into the cwm and select to install JB rom. It will reboot quickly into the Rom's cwm recovery and from that select to install the JB Rom again. Install the Gapps afterwards. Success.
TRussello put together a flashin guide in the Q & A forum. It is a sticky thread. U could check it out as well.
Be sure and read a lot and know what u r doing before u do it...because in the end only u r to blame if u jack up ur phone.

I have already done the part with the part with flashing the kernel but i still have the same problem and i have CWM recovery. I put KK4 stock kernel.tar into the PDA area and start then it reboots and then i have the same problem. I also tried wiping from CWM and it did nothing.

ok i did it with the corn kernel but now it just gets to the AT&T screen then to a system corps screen with a loading bar and then reboots in a loop sometimes it gets futher than and sometimes. I flashed it in odin
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
