root problems - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

this is my first post in this section ..........I have rooted my cappy using this method forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680048 and everything is fine and it installed corn kernel and there is an option to revert back to stock but it is not working anyway I can live with it ........and I will flash jb roms after some time my question is I have a corn kernel along cwm is this normal? am I good to go and flash other rom directly by placing zip in SD card?

Yep. U r good to flash per the Rom that u choose OP's install instructions.
And yep. Corn Kernel has the CWM Recovery "baked in". That is the norm.
Also there is a Guide for flashing by TRusselo that is a stickied thread in this q & a forum that may prove helpful to ya.

Installing cwm running 2.3.6

Hi all, Bit of a noob regarding the note...Struggling to find an easy way to install clockwork mod on a gingerbread note...have already managed it on ics but lost wifi and decided to revert back to gb....tried searching on the forums and even tried dr ketan's method flashing the cf kernel and thought i'd bricked it(squeaky bum time!!!) but managed to get it back using pc odin(phew)
I am rooted on baseband xxla4 with kernel xxla6. your help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd recommend you flash throught mobile odin the k2 speedmod kernel. You can use the tar file for that. Its good kernel on gb, very battery efficient and has cwm in it.
You can also flash cf kernel, just unzip it first with mobile odin.
You can also use ktool to flash tar files
note: in cwm on speedmod I think internal and external sd could be switched. Other then that its awesome

Great stuff, used to have a desire, great phone for flashing. Since getting this note I'm walking on eggshells trying not to brick it. Again cheers

Find link on my signature for 'pre rooted' ROM
And flash that rom with odin, at end you will have gb rom + root +cwm
Later you can update any gb rom using cwm

Thanks 4-2,
Second question......Do I need to go back to stock gingerbread before flashing 4.0.4 - ICS - AoCP CP 2.1 - The Collective or can I flash over top after wiping davlik and cache , partitions???
Im running Mosiac XI now
U should be able to just follow the install instructions in the OP of the ICS 4.0.4 AoCP CP 2.1 Rom and be good to go. (This is an excellent ICS Rom by the Collective, btw.)
...U could flash back to Stock KK4 if u want the i897 GB Bootloaders...since u may have i9000 GB Bootloaders being on Mosaic IX ?? Up to u though.

Again many Thanks 4-2, I figured Id give the collective first shot with ICS since Mosaic was one of the best Roms Ive flashed.
Guess I'll be flashing it tomorrow.
Good call !! :thumbup:

Ok , flash failed....Status 7 error. Any Ideas???
^
Not sure why u got that error. No one has reported that in the AoCP CP 2.1 ICS 4.0.4 thread.
From reading around, it has something to do with the updater script etc.
Anyway, i suggest u do two things. Get into the cwm recovery u have now and then mount usb and copy a fresh download of the Rom to ur phone. Then copy this kernel.zip that is just the kernel from CP 2.1 release...posted here--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30523384 . Install that kernel through ur current cwm 1st. Then reboot to that cwm recovery and flash the rom again. Be sure to do the wipes etc. that r posted in that Roms OP.
And be sure to eject ur phone from the pc the correct way...see this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29998391.
edit: search "status 7 error" in the Search This Forum tab of this Q & A Forum...search Show Posts. There u will find a lot of helpful info.

Ok, downloaded the new kernel and redid the wipes and flashed the rom again , then reflashed just for good measure. Rebooted and it went right back to revovery and does every time I rebooted. Tried flashing back to Mosaic but that flash failed Staus 0 message. So after playing with it a while I decided to flash another Rom. Again , did all the wipes and flashed HellyBean ....Rebooted right back to recovery again , I'm at a loss...Anyone??? And yes I thought about using odin and going back to stock but Odin won't recognize my phone...Windows does , ADB does but not Odin
When initially going to an ICS Rom from a Stock Rom u will have to flash it twice. First from the cwm that u had from where u started and then second from the next cwm recovery that loads. ---- So when the recovery boots back, just select to install the Rom again. ---- It should load the Rom on that second install.

[Q] Rooting question

I have a stock GT-P1000, locked to Vodafone Portugal, with firmware 2.3.6, baseband P1000BUJQ1, kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 and the compilation number is GINGERBREAD.BUJQ3, can i root with CF-Root from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734) ? which file should i choose ? if not, how can i root this device ?
still can't find any rooting method compatible with my setup, been searching google and xda, and everyday i have more doubts about this ... any ideas ?
if you want to consider an alternative that most people use: overcome method.
the links are in my signature.
It is a two step process and will wipe your tab;
Download from the links 4 things:
-Gb-stock-safe-v5
-the guide (PDF)
- overcome kernel tar
Jump to guide page 7
Follow the picture to flash GB-stock-safe rom
after that, follow the picture to flash overcome kernel tar
and you will have CWM recovery.
You won't have root yet, but using cwm you can flash ICS or JB roms.

thanks for you suggestion, i've already seen overcome kernel and some of your posts, but i think this kernel isn't the most adequate for me, because it has too many mods. i want a kernel that is as close to the original as possible, like CF-Root kernel. Besides, i still don't know if i can flash the overcome kernel on top of what i have ...
Can't help you much, sorry.
I don't even know how the kernel mods in overcome affect me when I was using it.
I just use it it a while before moving to red pill kernel.
Again, I don't know what mods were in that, just like the stability, speed, and battery consumption.

Flash Stock LRT with PhilZ Kernel

I have a note with some nightly CM10 Rom and Thor Kernel.
I want to flash stock LRT rom with a safe stock Kernel.

It seems your devices has been rooted. You can just use pc odin to flash any stock rom. And it wont give you any triangle and increase binary count.
But the way, you should not mentioned loki kernel at xda forum.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
flash the stock rom using pc Odin. Then you can flash the philz kernel for you rom using the stock recovery.
Forgot to say:
My USB is broken, so I have to send it to Samsung...
Can I use MobileOdin?
yes.. put the rom in external sd.
Flash using mobile odin. then do not change kernel or wipe.
what ever wipes you want to make, make now before flashing ics
yes you can
My problem is:
I do know not if Triangle Away will work now with my Kernel/ROM ...
Can I flash LRT with MobileOdin AND select Philz Kernel LRT directly?
So brick bug should not be any problem?
yes when you select the stock rom in mobile odin, you can change the kernel from stock to philz at the same time.
Thank you all, will do so now.
everything worked fine
Yup, just as nokiamodeln91 said. Use mobile odin to flash the stock rom.
As info given, you can now apply triangle away before flash any stock rom with mobile odin.
Should you have any question, please ask here. Me and other member will try to give you help.

I flashed XXLRT with PhilZ Kernel in Mobile Odin and used Triangle Away then.
I wiped already everything, this should be enough for Samsung to fix hardware-related issues only with my Note.
Already got Note 2..
May be you want to unroot, just incase
Assuming it's a warranty claim. I think Samsung will be a little surprised if they boot into recovery and see Philz touch recovery there......

You could flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 for both root and cwm
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Hey martin.y,
If u r just wanting to flash a Developer's Rom in the end...then just use TRussello's guide in the Q & A Forum. It is a stickied thread. Or simply do as BWolf56 stated above---Flash the KK4 Corn Kernel (.tar file version) through Odin3 v1.85 or similar (the kernel.tar goes in the PDA slot). Of course u should know that u r flashing that kernel from Download mode. Takes less than a couple minutes for the whole process. Reboot into the CWM Recovery that is included in the Corn Kernel and select to install ur Rom of choice that u should already have copied onto ur phone's internal sdcard. And prest-o change-o ! New Rom.
Or as BWolf56 stated above also, u can simply get Root through the CWM advanced menu options of the Corn Kernel. :good:
