[Captivate Android Development] wcdolphin:
I was actually just doing something silly, I tried it again and on the third try, flashing the kernel worked. Thanks for the guide HaiKaiDo!

I have edited the instructions so that they are easier to follow and more explicit, I would like to suggest the changes detailed below.

Also, I reorganized the structure of the files so that it was less confusing, and hosted it on one of my servers, if you like the different structure, please use it.

I am in no way trying to claim any IP over your guide Haikado, and it seems like a number of people got the wrong idea by my posting this and by my hosting the file. I must say that people are very different here than they are in many other forums that I am a part of, I would encourage people to just calm down a little bit, I have no reason or intentions of stealing your content but merely making it more accessible.

To summarize the changes:

I combined all of the files which you use with Odin in a folder called "Files for Odin", they no longer have the messy titles of "extract in this folder", or the inclusion of a second archive that also has the self-extracting executable embedded within it (redundant and inefficient).

I attempted to make your guide more explicit and consistent, and more readable.

I will mirror it to my other servers if there is demand, it should be a quick connection (I am able to pull 4 MB/s down from here). The idea is that you look at the changes, HaikaDo and perhaps consider changing

your

files that

you

link to, and update your guide with my suggestions.

1. Wipe data and cache, factory reset using ClockWorkMod. (pull battery when complete to shut off phone)

2. Open up Odin 1.7 and click on:
PIT, selecting s1_odin_20100512.pit
PDA, selecting PDA_XWJVB_Sbl.tar.md5
PHONE, selecting PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5
CSC, selecting CSC_NEE_JV3.tar.md5
These four files can be found in "Files for Odin" in the directory you extracted the original .rar file (that I came in).
Make sure "Repartition" is selected, your Odin screeen should look exactly like : http://d.pr/Ixt2

3. Put Your phone in download mode by holding "Volume down and Power", and connect it to your computer.

4.#WARNING#
(THIS IS WHERE THE ONLY DANGER IS, YOU ARE NOW FLASHING 2.3.3 AND THE NEW BOOTLOADER INCLUDED WITH 2.3.3 Just dont unplug your cable or have your computer die, otherwise you will be fine)
#WARNING#
Hit start on Odin, once the device has been recognized and you have double checked to ensure that your computer has battery power and that your Odin screen matches the link in Step (4).

5. Boot up normally and let things settle.
Close Odin on your computer, you do not need it right now.

6. Now power off the phone and wait for it to shut off completely.
Put your phone in download mode by pressing "Volume down and Power" at the same time until the download digger appears, alternatively you can hold the down button and connect it to your computer.
Open up Odin and set the PDA box to the xcals kernel, named I9000_reoriented_vG.beta2.tar

7. The phone will reboot and once again let things settle (media scanning and whatnot).
Plug in the USB cable and transfer the folders included in this pack named "Fixes and modems" and also "For Rooting" to your phone.
Power off the phone once again.
Once it is off, hold down "Volume Up and Power". As soon as you see the screen turn on let go of the power button and continue to hold volume up until you see ClockWorkMod.

8. At this point you should be in ClockWorkMod (Woot!).
Navigate to (by pressing the "volume down" button) and select (by pressing the power button) install zip from sdcard.
Select "choose zip from sdcard".
PNavigate to the folder "Fixes and Modems" install the following .zip files:
"Enable CRT Lock.zip",
"update-xvjvb-home_button_fix.zip"
and I recommend flashing "modem_ugjk4.zip" as JK4 seems to do the best.

9.Reboot. At this point reboot and you should be on stock 2.3.3! Congrats!!

10. If you want to root read the txt file I included for rooting!
