Cog v5.2 - Pinnacle

I'm on Cog v5.2 but want to jump to Pinnacle ROM. Do I need to disable "Full EXT4 Conversion" before flashing? If so, how do that and what are the best step to leap from here? Cog has been amazing, just trying something different. Thanks to DG tho!:) Is there any other ROM out there that stays close to speed, stable, and simple as Cognition ROM? Thanks

^Flash to stock KH3.
[Captivate Android Development] orb_526:
Just flash stock KF1 or KH3 to get rid of EXT4 and don't bother to root. Then go straight to the Pinnacle Flasher. Instructions are in the Pinnacle thread.
[Captivate Android Development] ctrclckws:
Earlier in this thread I posted in more detail.

Flash Stock KH3, No Bootloaders.

Flash Boog Kernel

make sure Pinnacle rom is on SD

boot to CWM, and flash Pinnacle.

Backup as needed.

I also removed SIM and external SD card until I was finished.

The flash to KH3 stock will do away with EXT4.
[Captivate Android Development] rrlara:
Thanks everyone for the replies! Leaping to Pinnacle!!

I've tried to flash this one click gingerbread odin, It has softbricked my phones two times man... not cool ¬¬
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Sorry man,

Some of the Captivates don't like One Click Odins.

Did u get it up and runnin another way ? What were u coming from before tryin the Mod ?
[Captivate Android Development] Soy_Filipo:
I was coming from darky, anyway it was softbrick, after 5 hours I've unbricked it,

Now I have cognition, what I did was after finally getting into download mode, I've flashed the darky base, then flashed the kernel via CWM, then flashed again cognition via CWM and that was it.

I'm happy with cognition, but someone better check that odin build... I think flashing with heimdall is better than is safer... but thats just me

Kernel Problem

Hey guys I flashed the kernel and now when I go into recovery, I get can't mount cache. It's not letting me install the ROM or make a backup of my current ROM. How do I fix this? And I have Official Rogers Gingerbread 2.3.3 with Gingerbread Bootloader.

[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
Thanks... Also I was wondering if there was a hspa modem you could flash to this.. So far I'm only seeing 3g which I'm OK with as long as the rom itself kicks but.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
U can flash an i9000 modem and get what u want on the data speeds but u will not be able to make/ receive calls, because of the i897 kernel.

The advantage to having the i897 modem is the support for the audience chip.

The Rom as is (modem and kernel that is included) should give u good download speeds, but of course the upload speeds will only be around 300 kbps. But remember...the audience chip support, i.e. Noise cancellation is worth the trade off for some.

i9000 roms that have i9000 modems and i9000 kernels = faster speed but no noise cancellation, therefore harder to hear when on a call.

i897 roms with i897 kernels/ i897 modems = capped upload speeds, good download speeds, but u get noise cancellation which in turn is a big + as far as ur phone conversations are concerned.

i9000 kernels need to b matched with i9000 modems.

Yes true. But I believe that was when designgears was using i9000 kernels and i9000 modems in his Roms.

[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Cog, and in fact all i897 roms include hsdpa. On older cog versions, dg just added the "H" icon to let you know when you were getting hsdpa downloads. I can't remember if he added this to cog 5, since I am running i9000 roms. On i9000 roms, with i9000 kernel/modem, you get hsdpa and hsupa, which uncaps the upload speed. But, as was noted above, i9000 kernels/modems disable audience chip support, which degrades call quality.

Again, with any captivate rom, including stock, you will get hsdpa. However, the stock roms show "3G" regardless of whether it is a 3g or hsdpa connection. The best way to find out if you are getting hsdpa connection is to run a network speed test. If you get between 1.5-5mbps, you have hsdpa. If your upload speed is around 300kbps, you DO NOT have hsupa, which is impossible to get using i897 kernel/modem. However, if you are running i9000 modem and kernel, with hsupa, you will see 1.5-5mbps upload as well.

EDIT: Make sure you are not on wifi when you run a speed test, otherwise it will test your wifi speed, not your cell network speed!!

I'm on cognition 4.3 and having some problems suddenly. My phone is always hot and battery draining in an hour. So I was looking to update. However, I can't get my laptop or desktop to recognize my phone when I plug it in download mode. I was going to start over with a fresh Odin (tried the old one and new one for new gingerbread ) but none will recognize it. The USB error message is that the usb device is corrupted or some such. Last time I updated to cognition I had no problems doing this.

Any clues?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Try reinstalling the drivers again. Reboot ur computer. Use a different usb/micro cable if u have one. Be sure to right click and run as administrator Odin first. Plug the usb end of the cable into the back of the computer if it's a desktop or into the first port if a laptop. These things will hopefully help u...

I've recently noticed this and was wondering if any of you have seen this.

I'm running the latest Cog and for the most part everything works fine. But I've noticed that a lot of times now, the signal strength bar teeters from zero-2 bars and I have very poor Internet speeds. I've recently discovered that if I put the phone into airplane mode and then disable airplane mode, boom - bars are nice and full again with good connectivity.

What's happening?

Most likely your phone is stuck on 1900 Mhz when the signal is low. When you shut off the radio and restart, it's choosing an 800 Mhz tower with a stronger signal.

You can confirm what's going on by keying in *#0011#. Depending on where you're located, it could be the other way round, tower wise. It could be hanging on to a lower band tower, when the 1900 tower actually has the better signal.

Full wipe needed?

Also, it said not rom manager in the OP. I thought CWR was part of the rom manager app.

Posted with my model confused HTC Inspire via XDA premium.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Clockwork Mod Recovery, aka cwm & cwr, is a custom recovery image. The rom manager app allows you to install cwm on a rooted stock phone, if you have a stock recovery that has been moddified to accept unsigned files or if you are on stock eclair, which does not have a signature check.

However, every kernel package comes with a custom build of cwm designed for the kernel. Sometimes this is just an exact clone of the base cwm available from app manager. More often than not, though, the cwm included with the kernel has extra features added that are kernel specific. That is why the op says to not use the rom manager. If you have the cog5 initial kernel installed, it already has cwm. All you have to do is shutdown the phone, and hold vol up + vol down + power to boot into cwm, no rom manager required.

OK! So i finally got the phone up and running late late last night. its on firmware 2.3.3 on build: cognition v2

kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832

its definitely GB; thats something obvious. yet, i cant shake the feeling that it still feels slow. i ran quandrant and its a shy 1040. I know, I know, quadrant scores dont mean anything, but still.... i would think it would be in atleast the 1300+ especially with the lagfix from cognition5..

No he gave you the link for stock or leak roms. You can use them to flash stock w/e (use one with out bootloaders, lowers risk) flash cwm kernel and then flash w/e rom.
[Captivate Android Development] nismoasfuh:
ughhh im clueless, i guess i really just am too ignorant for this stuff haha. Through my readings of kernels i thought it was like how a driver is to a computer. I thought i could just update my kernel without having to reflash my ROM. I just dont want to take the risk again.

There is no big risk. If you flash a package with out boot loaders you can only soft brick at worst. Wich you can fix with a jig (easy to make ~ $10 to buy made)

Exchange Email Account

I was getting "autodiscover failed", "yada yada default APN" errors when trying to setup my Exchange email synch since slapping this ROM on last night.

I posted in another thread, specific to this problem, but thought I'd share here, too.

To fix, I used TIB to force uninstall the Email 2.3.3 package. Then I restored Email 2.2 from my latest Cognition 4.5.1 backup.

Walked through setup again, and no issues - email and calendar are all now fully synched.

Im a huge fan of Cog 4.5.3 but i have yet to upgrade to gingerbread. Is this rom stable enough compared to 4.5.3? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Zero4:
It's pretty stable, I used it for a while until DesignGears got rid of his Cappy. Captivate based roms are becoming defunct because of the Galaxy S II's release.

I switched to Pinnacle when it was still in development (wista has also moved to GS2) and have been happy with version 1.3...I feel it's a good replacement for Cog 5.

Right now I can't justify upgrading since my Cappy is still a very good phone, and I'm not a developer.

I hope this info helps.
[Captivate Android Development] gremmie:
It does thank you... i was thinking about moving to pinnacle as well (its not in devlopment either ! :( ) .. i just dont want to load this version of cog and ends up to be full of issues... ( ive just skimmed the posts and it seems like there are alot of issues)
[Captivate Android Development] Zero4:
There was only 1 or 2 things that bothered me, and I switched to pinnacle since it was an I897 ROM, and still active. But, unless there are some major changes in some other roms, this (pinnicle) will be the last one that I use on the captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Bunkaido:
It's Stable

I've been on Cog5 v2 since just a few days after it's release and I've been using it for home and business use as my only phone. I've had very few issues and most of which were related to some game I was running. I haven't had any issues with everyday use of phone, contacts, email and web browsing via 3G and WiFi.

DG makes a fine ROM, there's no doubt about that.
[Captivate Android Development] theevildevil:
KJ3 kernel ?

May be a stupid question but does flashing a KJ3 kernel over this rom makes sense ?

I was wondering if we could utilize the memory management features of the latest leak on this awesomely stable rom. (only if DG still had his Cappy :rolleyes:)

The only analogy which made me think this is downward compatibility.

Has anyone tried flashing say boog's Samurai or Corn kernel over this ROM ?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Samurai isn't boog's its Kyuta Syuko's work. I haven't tried flashing any kernels with Cog5 but I can assume Kh3, KI2 or KJ kernels wouldn't work on this considering Cog 5 is 2.3.3 where as new leaks are 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. But hell Flash away and test. You can back up Cog's kernel with SGS kernel flasher and give it a go.
[Captivate Android Development] theevildevil:
Oops! sorry but missed the comma separator between "boog's" and" "Samurai" :eek:
