CWM Version

I noticed on the OP that there is possibly going to be a zip CWM flashable version of this kernel.

Would it be too much to ask if anyone you could do that, or if X'Cal could release it?

As I said earlier I flash a ton of ROMs on the go and currently cant get button mapping working and other things on the latest ROM im trying (Hamsterbread, highly recommend it, very fast, similarly to Juwes 4.1, but different theming which I like a little bit more and is a little more lightweight), but if its possible could someone quickly make a CWM version of this? Or is that something that only X'Cal could do?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
thank you =) hows the battery life? and do i flash xcals kernal after i flash the stock rom or with it?

ok quick bootloader question. I've been through all 24 pages and don't think I saw the answer. If I update the bootloader will my phone only be compatible with 2.3? or can I still run 2.1 or 2.2 roms?
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
well the bootloader should still boot the rom regardless but may have issues getting to recovery and have garbage on the screen when the plash pops up. i am using the stock bootloaders on gingerbread now and those are the problems i have. still gets download mode fine.

also if you flash to stock in between then that will fix the bootloaders for 2.1/2.2

wondering if someone knows which bootloader is needed? are both needed? or just boot.bin, or just sbl.bin?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Id assume yes.

I have flashed stock and have run the stock ROM, and havent tested a 2.2 ROM yet but it does run on 2.1
[Captivate Android Development] Shammyh:
Also, it's worth mentioning that I see no reason why flashing back to stock via any of the "one-click" packages wouldn't return your bootloader to the 2.1/2.2 compatible stock version.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
when you flash to stock most of the odin stock rom versions contain the stock bootloaders. thus you will fix bootloaders in the process
[Captivate Android Development] ffbadkill:
If it is the same as i9000, then you can take a look this post.

Thank you sir that is exactly what I wanted to know.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
No. The one on the main cwm screen (ithink its right below factory reset).
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
I would really recommend against trying to flash bootloaders individually. Easier to just flash the stock JVB through odin and get the new bootloaders along with it, or one-click back to 2.1/2.2 if you want the old bootloaders, then flash a different rom on top of it after the bootloaders are in place.

Question concerning 3 button fix. My cappy doesn't have it without the 3 button fix zip so my question is if I flash to gingerbread will my phone be able to go into download and recovery via the new method?
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
the three button fix is new bootloaders. there were a problem with the orrigonal boot loaers on certain builds. you may have trouble getting to download mode from gingerbread but i am not sure.

you may need a jig, again not sure but i kinda doubt it

wish i had a clear answer if 3 button effected captivates work on gingerbread bootloaders but i dont, not sure if anyone does.

should you need to return the phone to 2.1/2.2 you will need to flash the three button fix again to get the proper 3 buttons and not the screwy i9000 3buttons. after that avoid odin roms that have bootloaders as always (good advice for everyone anyway)
[Captivate Android Development] :
Tried to do this on my phone didnt work, it kept saying the file is read only. Root explorer did not give me an option to edit the file, when i tried it said it's read only. I will try to figure it out on my pc

Captivate on 2 slices of Gingerbread......to go!
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Thanks for the response. I thought I read somewhere that a jig doesn't work with the new bootloader.

I'm hoping someone can answer the other questions I have because I don't want to flash gingerbread if I don't have a failsafe.
[Captivate Android Development] blue265:
For those who are asking, I actually flashed the JVB Rom a few days ago before XCal created this kernel (I was too curious lol) and after using Odin One Click to revert back, I was back to the 2.21 bootloader as well as the AT&T logo again no problem at all. And from there I could go back to flashing the 2.21 ROMs. So if you need to revert back, you can Odin one click just the same old way.

Also, I am able to get into Download mode just by holding Power and Volume Down (no menu button needed or USB plugged in) from a powered off state. I can also get into Recovery easily by holding Volume UP and the Power button from a powered off state as well. Just in case this helps anyone as holding the menu button doesn't seem to be needed (at least on my model).

Hope this helps

Oh and JIG also works from this bootloader no problem. I have used it quite a bit over the past few days out of sheer laziness of figuring out the buttons.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
there is a rom posted earlier in the thread with an extended power menu, you can access download that way. wait and ill find the link.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
this rom has extended power menu for those worried about 3 button.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I don't know about all the roms but Juwe's had extended power menu.
[Captivate Android Development] loserskater:
My phone needed the 3 button fix with froyo also. I can get into download and recovery just fine with these GB bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
Just to add to this, I flashed Serendipity 6.3 over JVB, keeping my new bootloaders. Everything still worked proper. I don't really see a reason to go back to the old bootloaders at this point.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Thanks guys this puts my mind at ease.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
So when you went back to froyo how do you get into download and recovery? The old or new way?
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
ok im confused, i download the JVB with bootloader and i opened up Odin3 and i was about to flash my phone but in installation it says i have to have a PIT file as well and i dont have that, im assuming i get that from somewhere else? Also wouldnt i need to flash a bootloader in odin as well? cause i haven't flashed the "new" bootloader

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
I used Vol up+power. The key combinations are part of the bootloaders. New bootloaders=new key combinations, regardless of the rom that's on the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
1. The PDA already has bootloader in it. If you flash the PDA, you flash the bootloader, so no need to select any separate bootloaders, or check any options except that shown in the screenshot.

2. Unless you played with your partitions before, you don't need pit and repartitioning, odin will pull the pit from your phone in the process of flashing and use it again.

Read this post carefully, and follow the screen shot exactly

Do if I wanted to flash back to Continuum, just straight flash it from cwm? Keeping in mind that my key combos are different.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
There is a continuum with GB in case you didn't know ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Thanks.

Just saw it. Waiting to find out if its the beta or beta2 kernel. Also hoping xcal drops another tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] xidium:
I followed all the steps and I'm on JVB with the JK4 modem and I have no data at all. What did I do wrong? Does the CSC have anything to do with it? I used XEE. Any help is appreciated

Quick Update: Thankx lot for all who tried to help.

Got a New one. on CM7 already.

Warning for Others who want to go back to 2.1

When I wanted to go back to Stock (2.1), I did with The PDA version stock (with 3 Button fix) Odin. I have used it many times in past with no issues. This was the first time it finished…got blue Reset but the Phone Never booted back. I tried to bring it back to life but no luck. That being said.. I have not tried all the reply’s I got. I'm not sure if it’s cos of PDA version or new Boot-loader or my luck.

So it would be really nice if one of the senior developers can write few steps how to go back to stock and if it’s safe.

I see many ppl mention 1 click Stock (the one with master Clear button) .. May be it will work. Not Sure.
[Captivate Android Development] HaiKaiDo:
Hey xcal, Would it be hard to add a "reboot into download mode" into CWM with this kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] cckidquick:
I have flashed back to stock with odin one click.

I had the same issue some others had with the phone not turning on...I pulled the battery for 30 seconds or so and kept trying to get into download...it finally worked. Then odin would't work but that was because of my usb port on the laptop..

I finally flashed back to stock, reflashed jvb, kernel, modem, and hamsterbread....then did what I should have done to start..factory reset/wipe/wipe.

Now everything is great and I'm pretty surprised how good this is after how disappointed i was with 2.1 and 2.2.... battery life seems great as well.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
How did you install the ROM, is there a odin version...? xcal is still now CWM..right

Edit: Just went to recovery... with bunch of error message, it shows my fav option install from zip... ;-), gotta try it

Edit: Just tried, it threw some error messages... any body
[Captivate Android Development] wvumaniac79:
This is huge, thanks xcaliburinhand!
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Once you install base JVB and then XCal's beta 2 kernel, you get CWM, and you can install roms using CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] TigerEnigma:
Just replace the zimage in whatever i9000 rom you download with xcal's, then flash. For others you can only do this if you have already flashed the stock with bootloaders etc, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Odd . I flashed Juwe from cwm after I got to GB. Also changed modem from cwm with no problem or error.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
Thanks, did not pay attention to the update...:o
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:
Same here, as long as you initially flash with bootloaders. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:

Reorient

Hi Xcal, great job. Just curious, is reorienting more difficult on GB? Anyone know why Samsung didnt keep all Galaxy S phone capable of using same base kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
Well, all the phones in the family are not the same. They are very similar but each has some different features, size, radios etc. Due to the different hardwares, they require different drivers or at least a modified version of the same driver. If the kernels were exactly the same, the family would consist of one phone. Not that it wouldn't be nice if all sgs used the exact same kernel. Would make everyones life easier.

[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
So, three different gb roms in and I personally have found the kitchen provides the best results.

Juwe's was a little too bloated for my taste, even after removing a ton of it and a tad laggy in a few places

Continuum was FC's even after stock and MC - though I plan on trying again B/C I hear good things.

The Rom kitchen gave me an extremely light Rom, with super smooth everything. We'll see how it does through the day.

Now all I need is some Voodoo love and I'm set, I even switched back to the Cappy b/c it feels so good. I may even return the Inspire now, haha.

Edit: sorry this is a little fragmented
