Oh then im wrong. My mistake, but cyanogen isnt compatible with GB bootloaders (so I've read).

I don't know what exactly you guys are discussing...but I was running CM7 with GB boot-loaders without any problems....it works perfectly...just my 0.02$
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I have read as the post above shows that the GB ATT bootloaders do work. Cm7 team just is not gonna use them until all the phones have them. I may be wrong but I think they are waiting on the fascinate to get them. At least that is what I remember from a while ago on the cm7 page/s.

Well I remember a warning on ATT Gb bootloader thread. As to why I have no clue. Tried Cyanogenmod once worked for a day before the phone lost all signal service and soft bricked (not sure how) That was few months back so I haven't kept up.

By no means saying its a bad rom. I've used it on different HTC devices and was great. But it needed allot of work when i tried it.
[Captivate Android Development] z28james:
I've used CM7 with the new bootloaders without any issues. I think its the vibrant that they are waiting on.

KE3 works the best for me on KF1 Rom and here is KF1 to flash back if you don't like it as well as me. I have been told the voice quality when speaking to them is better when I use KE3.

I added KB1, as the signal is stronger as 850 mhz is enabled by default, but the download is a bit slower than KE3.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
U cannot mix I9000 Modems with I897 Kernels, or u will have issues, as u did.

KB1, KE3, or KF1 r ur best choices.

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Thank you very much, I just found them in the modem thread (just learned what the pin thing is for)
[Captivate Android Development] golfslicer:
The KB1 modem in the modem thread probably won't flash as it is a CWM2 flash file, the one I attached will flash. You can check if it flashed by going to settings/about phone/baseband version.

Alright Ill re download. Thanks again ^^

Updated dropdown and Battery

This will add a large Digital Battery instead of the default that you need a microscope to read. It will also replace the Flight mode in the drop down menu with Sound/Vibrate. Try it if you like it. Note it will take a bit on reboot so be patient. Also the dropdown icons will be blue instead of green.

Black Dialer

If interested I found a dialer that will work with this rom so I created a flashible zip file. If interested If you don't like it, flash back to stock with ther other zip.

If you want the whole them, take a look here at the original author of the theme , Ruger94 that uses this dialer. I have not tested the theme to see if it is totally compatible with this rom though.

Coming from Serendipity VII, do I still need to load the bootloaders in step 1, or can I just proceed to step 2 and load the kernel through Odin?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ I believe U need step 1. That is, per DG's instructions at Step 1. I'm not sure how it would go if u do it the way ur saying.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Serendipity 7 is based off i9000 correct and you have the i9000 bootloaders correct? Someone correct me if I am wrong but since this uses the i897 gingerbread bootloaders I would personally flash it so you have the correct bootloaders for our captivates. Once you do this you can then use froyo roms, i9000 roms, or i897 gingerbread roms. So I would say better safe than sorry and once you have the correct bootloaders you can then run almost any rom in the captivate section.

Sent from My KickAss Captivated CM7 OC'd 1.5Ghz/Undervolted
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I believe I9000 bootloaders should work with Cog 5. I suggest you flash this KF1 without boot loaders and continue with the steps.

If by any chance Cog 5 acts unstable or its not running correctly try a reflash of the rom, and if that doesn't work then consider flashing step one with bootloaders.

Id usually agree with you but flashing boot loaders is risky. So better to test i9000 before flashing i897. Also a good idea to have a jig around if it starts boot looping xD
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
People are going too nuts about flashing bootloaders. It's not all taht dangerous. It flashes for a fraction of a second, and as long as you have a stable connection, nothing will go wrong. I'd definitely suggest flashing i897 bootloaders. They work with Samsung 2.3.3 AND CM7 perfectly. i9000 bootloaders are only good for Samsung ROMs. It's always good to have native software, AND you're set for the future if you decide to go MIUI or CM7. So just flash the bootloaders, it's really not all that dangerous.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I understand your point but I've had Odin fail twice with me, id freak out if it fails in the bootloader bit xD

[Captivate Android Development] z28james:
When I've flashed back to stock or even to kf1 using odin, one boot loader flashes, then a bunch of stuff including factoryfs.rfs and then the second flashes. If it were to die on factoryfs.rfs for instance and you had only flashed one boot loader at that point, would you not have a hard brick? the danger seems to go beyond the time it takes to flash the boooaders themselves.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Good deal...Glad u figured it out. And really that's the best way to learn and have it stick in our heads ( search and search and search, til the answer is found) so that in the end we remember how to resolve an issue when we come across it.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Flashing the i897 boot loaders is probably safer since both the files are seperated. Also once you do soft brick it you will get the PC!phone and Odin will still recognize and flash from that state. So once they are flashed you are safer off. So the danger is lower from my personal experience. The reason so many bricked their phones with the stock odin1 click was because both bootloaders files were together one after another. So there was a longer timeframe of danger. With them seperated it is less danger. I pulled the battery when it froze the first time I tried going from the i9000 bootloaders to these i897 bootloaders. I saw the new and improved phone! PC screen and just restarted Odin 1 click gingerbread and it successfully flashed.

can I just flash the kernel in clockwork 2.5.1.3 pull the battery, then flash the rom? im currently on Fasty 1.7
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
So basically you're saying that if I were to flash I897 GB bootloaders, I could then flash any rom I wanted, (2.2 or 2.3, CG5, S7, CM7 MIUI or whatever) since the I897 bl are backward compatible with 2.1 and 2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Nope. U have to start with Step 1. U have got to use Odin to get the I897 GB Bootloaders and the I897uckf1.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Try going back into CWM Recovery and reinstalling the Rom. Back up ur apps, etc. with Titanium Backup first.
[Captivate Android Development] z28james:
MIUI and CM7 use a different partitioning schema as they do not have rfs support built in. While the bootloaders seem compatible, you can not move from CM7/MIUI to a samsung rom without first repartitioning using odin/heimdal.

I've been flashing back to KF1 (minus bootloaders) with heimdall to prep my phones partitions for a samsung based rom when I want to switch.

Going from a samsung rom to CM7 is easy since your partitions are converted during that process automatically.

I read about this issue on other devices and ROMS but last night my phone rebooted after 15 minutes on a call. Tried to recreate by calling my home number and leaving it connected for 37 minutes while browising, installing and unstalling programs, and general doing a lot of things on the handset while connected and all was well........

Anyone experience this. A search revealed no issues with this but A Google search revealed a lot of complaints in this regard. My build is 1013. Maybe that has something to do with it. Never had the issue on my 1008 I sold last week to buyan SGS 2. Keeping the Captivate though to ensure the SGS II is worth $600 more than keeping the Captivate.

I will update this if/when it finishes/doesn't finish.

EDIT:Looks like it MAY have finished. It now says after restoring data,

.android_secure.Ingram not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure., then restoring cache...

Restore complete!

So I am guessing that it doesn't fully work? I will now run a backup and restore on my other captivate using CM7 and see if I get the. Android_secure.Ingram not found in it or not.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Other than it is what our phones will eventually get from att and the benefits to us to flash ANY rom we want whether it is a froyo or gingerbread i897 or i9000 rom. Or after flashing and when you run into issues of a soft brick you can still flash right from the phone!PC screen. Plus the i897 bootloadersare MADE for our phones unlike the i9000 bootloaders. Well i guess that may sum up of it that i know at least. So for us flashoholics their are definite benefits.

[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^^^ Basically, one reason is if u get one of the old bootloaders from Eclair/Froyo builds mixed with one of the GB bootloaders u will end up with a hard bricked phone. (This is the reason not to use the "3 button fix" Odin. -- It only flashes 1 bootloader.)

And +1 to what RockRatt said above.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Not really. It is when you flash odin version with the three button fix that only flashes 1 bootloader where you will have problems. As long as you either flash odin 1click eclair or odin 1click gingerbread you will be okay. The OTHER thing is it is safer (safe being a cautionary word here) to flash the i897 gingerbread bootloaders than the eclair bootloaders (from my own experiences). with the gingerbread bootloaders samsung seperated the two bootloader files so that IF something happened in between them you will only get a soft brick and still be able to flash from the phone!pc screen. With the older eclair bootloaders both files are one after another so there is a longer timeframe that it can screw up (sort of speak) and then getting the phone!pc screen you are basically stuck unless you have a jig or get lucky.

Edit: Sorry jumped the gun there, i see you already mentioned about the eclair/froyo bootloaders.

but i dont know how to flash cog5.

i think now i am still in orginal bootloader.

what make me confuse is

bootloader is base to android version (froyo, GB) or base to device (i897, i9000)

then which bootloader should i flash?

how can i flash?

and would u mind give the link to study and follow?

Compatibility. You can flash 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and CM7/MIUI without reflashing bootloaders. Any ROM will work. Of course you can't necessarily flash between them, but you'll never have to flash bootloaders. You can flash back to stock (repartition) without bootloaders.
