There are many different approaches to the best way to flash...me I like to go for a combination of least effort or risk combined with calming placebo wipes.

Look at http://sgscm7nightlies.pbworks.com/w/page/41696291/Flashing a Nightly for several good methods.

I went from #53 with glitch kernel to #80. So far one sod and no other problems. Runs smooth as always.

Now I am looking for the jvr modem but the search button gives me a lot of posts and the codeworkx site seems down. Can someone point me in the right direction for the jvr modem?

Also looking for the best custom kernel with bln and good batterylife. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Find the modem here, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16258095&postcount=13008

As for kernel, there are only three and Glitch has not been updated yet, so really right now there are two, Neo and Fugumod. Try them both and see which you like. Read their threads to see which ones include BLN, if either do (I don't use it, so never pay attention).

Fugumod delivers both.

Charger notification

The only thing I really miss in CyanogenMod 7 on SGS is the charging notificaiton bleep or vibrate (if silent mode) when plugging in the charger. It's helpful to know that the charger got plugged in correctly and is switched on at the wall.

Can I get this back somehow? I'm running Nightly 77, GB BL.

Put some files on my ex sd(emmc) .

After a while the file names are missing some letters and

the maps are empty.

Even when i put them in a card reader its 0 mb

Is it a broken card again?

Or does my galaxy corrupt my cards?

Did not turn the device off or flash anything.

Yes you can.

I did that too

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrome6boy:
I remember couple of weeks ago when several people were reluctant to use GB bootloaders not because it doesn't ext sd cards but because CM7 was not designed for GB bootloaders and there were specific warning from the programmers not to venture into this territory. But as far as I can see on the changelogs, the only change to CM7 nightlies is that it supports ext sd cards.

Has everyone accepted that this means CM7 is ok for use with GB bootloaders and it is not over simplified when someone says the only difference was that ext bootloaders cannot be used in the older versions?

Just asking... I don't want to start another 2 pages of arguments... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The crux of the argument was that Codeworkx and Atinm said several months ago that in addition to losing SD support, they had no idea what other effects using GB bootloaders would have but expected that some things would act strangely, as they were totally untested. They warned against using them, but said that they were our phones and we should take whatever risks we liked.

Since then, it is clear that the powers that be have explored the matter and decided that they are safe to use since commits have been added to CM7 code enabling them. Excellent, and good news all around. Personally I have yet to see major battery gains, but such things may only appear over time, and it is good to be on the most recent code at any rate.

20/20 hindsight is a glorious thing but not worth very much, and I STILL say that people telling new users that the lack of SD was the only issue when they had no basis for knowing that, especially in light of previous dev warnings, was oversimplification of a potentially dangerous software change. I would actually go further looking back and say it was irresponsible to inform users who barely knew how to flash the ROM that they should view using GB bootloaders as just an install option, when at the time we had no such indication from any CM7 devs. Taking risks like that is fine for experienced users, but a lighter, more conservative hand is needed when advising new users. I said it then, I stood by it then, I stand by it now.

As for not wanting to start another two pages of argument, I call hypocrisy despite the little smiley face. Did your post have any other purpose whatsoever? Honestly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrome6boy:
Sorry for the smiley face... You're right hindsight is 20/20...

My post was not to start another long list of arguments, I was just asking if the devs actually came out and said if this is safe now, or if we just took it for granted because of the changelog. Anyway I'll stop posting on this subject, sorry if I came across as abrasive.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No worries....No, the devs never actually said "all clear" to use GB bootloaders. However as they made changes to the code to allow GB to be used with SD cards and Codeworkx even provided bootloader files, we are all assuming (myself included) that it has their seal of approval, at least tacitly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] baba420:
Which GB bootloader is better, JVK or JVQ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
As far as I can tell, except for the name of the version they were ripped out of, all GB bootloaders are identical.

As I keep saying over and over again, do you really expect Samsung to create a new bootloader for every release?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funnnny:
No, but they always want to use the newest version! Moar version ftw!

P/S: i'm using JVR bootloader, FTW!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsooba:
Kingmetal, i think u have a faulty galaxy hehe

I have the same 16 gb sdcard since the first time i have flashed cm7 back before the nightlies, i have it fully loaded with files, pics, apks, movies and mp3s.

I flashed each and every nightly rls, and i have always used olatypus or fugumod kernels (more flashes from cwm) and never had a problem with it.

It is still going strong.

Prior to cm7 i was a rom flasher addict of other roms aswell.

So i dont know what to say more from my poing of view.

Also about a week ago i have moved to gb bl.

Still no problems, only battery life got 300% better

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
NO...they're not all the same. I think they're all the same from jvb/jvo onwards .

Initial GB leaks had new bootloaders, then soon after they changed primary loaders... and secondary loaders not too long after that again.

But I suppose...from ur point of view, all newer GB roms have the same loaders. ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
Quick question, does CM7 install bootloaders when you initially flash it?

If not i would assume as i flashed straight from JVR that i am on GB bootloaders?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Good point, but if anyone is using GB bootloaders from the initial leaked versions...then there is nothing we can do to help them and may God have mercy on their souls.

So to clarify my previous point...all RECENT GB Bootloaders are identical except for the name of the version they were ripped out of.

I am just waiting for the "Dood, I get like micropitsy lags when I like play stuf like Dungeon of Douchebags so I thought maybe my bootloaders were like too slow or somethin so I flashed the JVR ones, then the JVQ ones, then the JVO ones...and now my phone won;t turn on like it used to, it like just lays on the table making a weird noise like a cat in heat and the screen don't show nuthin but big white letters that say "YOU STUPID F*CKING BASTARD"...did I brick it or something? Help me, ok?" posts to begin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No ROM flashed through CWM can flash bootloaders as you have to be in Download mode to do it....and even if you could CM7 does not include Bootloaders, so it wouldn't, or couldn't...or whatever.

So yes, you still have GB Bootloaders.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:

IMPORTANT

External SD card issue.

I had problems with my external sd card(emmc) on both Ginger and froyo bootloaders.

It automaticly wiped my sd after a reboot or update flash.

It also erased files from my sd card while my phone was on.

This all happened on nightly 77/80.

When i read the card on my pc the files were on the sd , but corrupted.

I flashed to Stock JVR.

Not any problem what so ever on my external sd.

Just wanted to share this because i belive it is a CM7 problem?

Anyone else having strange things with the external sd?

I think something is corrupting the use of external sd on the latest Nightly,s

I find this so strange because stock rom is giving me no problems.

Battery life on Ginger bootloaders was the best by the way
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prasad:
Haven't had any problems with my external SD so far... But I'll keep my eyes open for anything, now that you mentioned it..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it's an Android issue per se

but happens with some card more often than with others

and it maybe also happens more often on cm7 not sure why

I got this twice with an SanDisk microSDs [read on the net that it seems to happen more often with this brand but not limited to it]

after having switched to a different brand it never happened again on that device

I got another microSD from SanDisk but didn't have any issues with it so far
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No one else has reported this one lately other than you, King...and I admit I can't see how any ROM could have done all the things you described...cards corrupted, becoming unreadable, changing the names of files. I was waiting for you to describe how your SD cards puked pea soup and spun their heads all the way around.

Maybe you just need to lay off the Jagermeister for a few nights?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
Well it happened on both sandisk cards.

I will get an Kington card in soon and going to test that on CM7.

But again i never had problems with my external sd on CM7.

It started when the kernels were supporting ginger bootloaders, and it didn,t matter if i was on froyo or ginger bootloaders at all
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moslem63:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:

Maby i,m the first and only one.

But it,s no bull****.

It is what it is and i just wanted to let you devs know.

i rebooted a 1000 times now on JVR and nothing goes wrong on my ex sd.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
As has been answered many times already...You can't. It does not appear in any settings menu, there is no code to reveal it. There apparently is a way to possibly sort it out if you want to start using a hexadecimal editor on bin files, but for most of us that is not really feasible.

To be honest, there is very little need for you to know, but if you have EVER installed a gingerbread ROM, you almost certainly have GB bootloaders.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
Since february I never had a problem with sd card either (also not before). But I never take it out the phone and I don't even try samsung roms anymore since that time. I think you, king, have a hardware problem or don't handle your card with care.

Tapatalked u see
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KingMetal:
well i never ever pull my external sd card out.

But maby i found something.

When i formatted my sd on cm7 only the LOST.DIR appeared in ex sd.

Now on stock rom i formatted and it showed LOST.DIR and Android secure.

Could it be that android secure map was not on my external sd while i was on cm7?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DROCSID:

how is Sbl.bin called for GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Joans:
Do you mean the splash screen when you first turn on says Vibrant? If so, you must've flashed some Vibrant bootloaders containing a Param.lfs file. The only way you'll get the I9000 image back is to flash some bootloaders containing the correct Param.lfs file. As far as I'm aware though, it's just an image and shouldn't cause any issues. You might have to Odin back to a stock rom to sort it out though, unless you can make yourself a tar or find one.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I believe that boot.bin and sbl.bin are universal names for all Android devices...but the files themselves are different for each device, just the names are the same. boot.bin is the primary bootloader and sbl.bin is the secondary.
