Damn, hard day? ;)

I don't think you'll be finding amonRA recovery in the market.

Go to his thread, and DL the pc36img version of amonRA 2.3. Then (as other poster said) drop it in root of sd card, and reboot. The file (recovery) is actually posted in 2 of the 3 threads above yours. Check the thread labeled "bootloop, no recovery".

But I would still go to amons thread to check the md5 on it (astro file explorer displays md5s if you need).

Also, if you're using CWM now, you're probably using rom manager as well. If so, I believe you can scroll to bottom (in rom manager) and select 'install alternate recovery'.

Good luck

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindiablo:
Firmware: 2.3.3

Baseband: I9000BWJV2

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813 root at DELL101 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVH

I had rooted my Galaxy S I9000 using z4root and applied RyanZA's OCLF lagfix, then removed the lagfix and unrooted in preparation for the official firmware update to Gingerbread through Samsung Kies.

Firmware update went fine, but in Settings > About Phone > Kernel version, there is still a reference to root (see above).

My phone is definitely no longer rooted - none of the apps that require root access have it.

The speaker on my phone is now cutting out intermittently and producing distorted crackly sound, so I want to hand my phone in to an approved Samsung Service Centre for repair.

Will this reference to root in the kernel version give away the fact that I'd rooted prior to the firmware update? Will this invalidate the warranty and mean that they won't repair the phone? Or is this mention of 'root at...' something that appears in the 'About phone' screen of an unrooted stock phone anyway?

I'd rather not mess with flashing kernels via Odin etc if I don't have to, but if that's what it takes to get a component failure sorted through an approved service centre then so be it...

Any advice gratefully received.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendokan:
It appears also on a unrooted firmware. Its the name of the stock kernel and is not affected by rooting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fooman123:
that has nothing to do with if your phone is rooted or not. It is just a reference to the builder of that kernel version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrbuitenhius:
Flash back the original FW through ODIN v1.3.

Original FW can be found on: http://www.samfirmware.com/

(You'll need to register to download)

Click:

Toolbox >> Firmware >> FW Android >> -Select Device and FW of your device- (ODIN can be found here as well including the instructions how to flash).

After flashing they (Samsung Service Center) can't see that you have ever had your phone rooted.

Good Luck

He already is on stock (update through kies) so he doesnt had to flash with odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lttldvl:
Maybe try doing a factory reset. When I updated from 2.1 to 2.2 using kies the update didn't apply correctly. Once I did a factory reset everything was fine.

It will wipe all of your data and apps though, so if you don't mind losing them then it's no problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrbuitenhius:
True, I saw that.

The sollution to reset the kernel is by flashing kernel through ODIN since kernel wasnt updated with the Gingerbread update through Samsung Kies.

@SamFirmware just announced that they would have Captivate 2.3.3 available tomorrow. via twitter Keep your eyes here http://www.samfirmware.com/

Update: dont forget to hit the thanks button.

All Captivate firmwares are available on this page: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm

Use Heimdall to flash the firmware. You can get Heimdall from this page: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/

Note: the Open Source community supports Open Source software. There are instructions on using Odin3 on SamFirmware. True Blue XDA users use Heimdall.

Are you kidding me? If this is true, Samsung will have redeemed themselves in my eyes.
[Captivate General] blue265:
I dont think its always samsungs fault for lack of firmware updates. The international version sees constant firmware updates. From what I can tell in most cases its the carriers that drag their feet for the galaxy s variant updates.

Definitely great news though!
[Captivate General] rg400smarttowel:
finally an official 2.3.3
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
Which version though? Remember, the Armani and Rogers versions got Froyo well before AT&T.

EDIT: I should have looked, the post clearly states i897. Woo-Hoo!
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
So, how does one go about installing a ROM from Samfirmware? I looked at the guides section on their site, but clicking on USA phones brings up a blank page.:(

Any chance they will release a 2.3.3 version for Armani so we can get a GB Andromeda build? Are these firmware minus all the AT$T bloatware?
[Captivate General] alexige:
They're working on putting the USA site together so thats most likely why its blank. Personally I'm probably just going to wait for a dev to put their own rom based off this up or at least instructions on what to do.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Yeah, I'm in no hurry to update since A3 has been running just AWESOME for me for months. I also have some concern about these firmwares. The site got sued by Samsung and had to change their name, so what connection do they have for getting genuine source firmwares? I'll let the "early adopters" do the beta testing on this.:D
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
Heimdall......
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
SamFirmware site is legitimate. I have no problem using whatever they published. They get their firmwares straight from Samsung through whatever back channel they have. The problem is that they used to have very little luck getting firmwares for US phones. That's why they disabled USA section.

Typically, the firmware posted there are full ROM version that requires ODIN3.

I'd wait to see if there is way to root the ROM (so that I can hack the tethering and remove bloatware) before I jump in. My understanding is that the current rooting method we use for 2.2 is not going to work anymore.
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
As a community we should support the open source, more reliable and more importantly, maintained, Heimdall. Odin is responsible for many bricks.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
After my recent experience with Heimdall and past experiences with Odin, I am behind Adam 100%.:cool:
[Captivate General] leezrd:
Well hopefully dg gets on this cuase I would LOVE a gb cognition.
[Captivate General] kdwolf85:
Since in his Perception thread he stated that using the 2.3.3 build for I9000 was a waste of time, I doubt it. He has his GSII now and is developing for it.
[Captivate General] leezrd:
I thought it is from leaked source for captivate?
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
I don't think there was leaked source.

Developing a i9000 ROM is a waste of time and risky. You have to reflash bootloaders and that is a PITA which bricks phones.
[Captivate General] elfie:
Haven't had enough time to check for bugs or issues.

Rooted the phone, removed ATT bloatware, deodexed apps. So far so good.

Attached some screenshots.

By the way can anybody make a odin pack without bootloaders ?

I wonder if SGS Tools will work with this. Specifically, the launcher mods. I really like my modded Home screens.
[Captivate General] axis01:
Does this mean you won't be making a Andromeda using 2.3.3? Is Armani slated to get the newer 2.3.4? Just trying to figure out what your plans are.
[Captivate General] Madtowndave:
2 leaked i897 ROM's in one day? Fantastic...can't wait to see the dev chef's go to town.

Simple question: I'm assuming the big prize is KF1 over the older KE3...does KE3 release basically just give us another i897 modem option, or is too early to say KF1 > KE3? Might the 2 leaks leverage against each other to help create a better custom ROM?

i897 running Andromeda 3
[Captivate General] chrislj:
I already tried flashing without bootloaders. They appear the same as older one's but they are not. I flashed without them and it does appear to boot fine but boot logos, animations and sounds are corrupted. All I did to not have them in the package was remove the md5 extension from the file leaving the .tar extension, used powerarchiver to delete the bootloaders from the .tar pack, saved and kept the file a .tar package. Loaded it right into Odin and it flashed fine.
[Captivate General] clemmie:
I had a couple of force closes on the android process while getting things set up. Swype works after deleting the app and the installer, then reinstalling the installer. Incoming texts seem to be 4 hrs behind. I can't get my HSPA to connect anymore although using the codes in SGS Tools I have the network setting to automatic, so it should be able to switch from 3G; this was not an issue with Froyo. I was able to get 10m GPS locks in less than 10s after the initial lock, which took close to 5 min.

The Linpack and Quadrant scores are lower than my Froyo/Speedmod Kernel combo, but I know that some of the i9000 GB ROMS are already working on that, so one for this ROM is likely right around the corner, with a little time to experiment.

Having said all that, Netflix does work with this ROM, as does voice dialing via Bluetooth, and all in all it is much smoother than my Froyo setup. Battery life might be the best I've ever had on any ROM/Kernel. I'm still chipping away at the bloatware; don't want to get too trigger happy deleting things! I'm definitely sticking with this for a bit.

Actually. Im developing the core in Linux. I will ask other devs to help with the installation on Windows and Mac. Its Java so it is cross platform, but it has to deal with OS speciffic things like filesystem and environmental varriables.

How is the GPS???

To those who have flashed this ROM?

How is the GPS???
[Captivate General] ZionExpress:
I'm also interested in the GPS performance. The lock on issues were supposed to be fixed in this release, no?

Also, how well does 2.3.3 handle netflix? Can i finally get the official app from the marketplace or do i have to do the whole song and dance to get it to work like in 2.2?

I'm planning to wait a while for the dust to settle before making the switch, i'm pretty comfy with S7 ATM. But on the other hand, i wouldn't mind rockin stock FW for a change since I never gave stock much of a chance when i first got my cappy, i ended up going with CFW after the first week. :p
[Captivate General] agh1701:
Has anyone figured out how to install the patched e3 recovey boot loader? I do not think the old froyo instruction apply.
[Captivate General] nakedninja42:
Did not make any "adjustments" to the gps settings. I drove around all day yesterday with my phone in the dock using navigation. Spot on accurate for me. Quick locks and never jumped around while idle at a light or traveling 70 - 75 on the freeway. Of course this worked great for me but ymmv.

I grabbed the new Netflix 1.2.2 from the Netflix thread and installed with no issues and was able to stream no problem. Still does not show up in the market but I think it wont until we get a final release (OTA update) of gingerbread.

Overall I think stock had been great so far, probably going to stick to it for awhile before I consider flashing a custom rom.
[Captivate General] XxIceXx:
This should lead to some interesting GB releases for captivate
[Captivate General] ZionExpress:
Thanks for the info, naked, makes me want to flash this right now!

How do you feel the speed and overall smoothness is compared to custom roms you've used? What about compared to stock 2.2? Hows battery life?

Sorry to drill you with all the questions, you just seem to be the one making the most headway here. I understand that the rom is still shiny new so feel free to reply when you have had enough time to test things out.

Thanks!
[Captivate General] nakedninja42:
I posted linpack and quadrant scores somewhere in this thread :D but to me that is no where near accurate to how smooth it feels. I've spent a lot of time on Gingerbread now and difference between rfs to ext4 is very little to me. Difference between GB and eclair is night and day in speed and smoothness and definitely better than froyo (I was happy with stock froyo).

As for battery life, its not enough time for me to make judgment there. I flashed yesterday morning and was still able to take a ton of pictures last night when I went out so I didn't have to worry about the low battery warnings (a rarity for me). I just did my first full charge since flashing (no charge bug or anything the first night) so I can give a better estimate probably after this weekend on the battery.

The biggest thing for me is the fact I have a modem that works friggin great for me here. I had issues with CM7 with every modem I tried I would lose signals at places I spend a lot of time at (school, library, home) no matter what modem I tried (from jk4, kb1, to jvo) and KC1 was the only one that would have the strongest connection while on Gingerbread but still not good enough. Now on KF1, I was at the library and at school and I had full signal and the strength was in the 70's which I had never seen before (average between 90 - 100). Its been great not having to run outside while talking to someone because they can't hear me or its static. So for me, the modem alone is enough for me to stay where I am until the next release or final OTA release.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
I've never not had a major problem of one kind or another with CM7. I gave up on it. I'd used other gingerbread roms that worked far better on my phone.

So, is this pretty much a stock samsung release? I there even ext4 lagfix for it?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] nakedninja42:
Only problem I had with CM7 was my modem issue, other than that it was friggin sweet ROM.

This is a stock Att Samsung release. Not official from Att. No ext4 as of yet and I saw DG is working on getting CWM incorporated.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
I've always found CM7's battery life to be horrible. Then I will usually have one thing or another broken. But, this attracted me because I am interested in trying as stock a gingerbread as possible to see how battery life it compared to the roms I use (Apex was on until now. Serendipity and others).

Thanks for the ext4 info. Ignoring quadrant scores, it feels pretty nice.
[Captivate General] clemmie:
I posted sort of a mini review a little ways back too, but I'd agree with the ninja on all counts. This is truly a solid performer.
[Captivate General] mohsin.killer:
@Adam: I tried using Heimdall but its very different and a lil confusing as well (as I was using Odin earlier) .. Is there any simple way to flash this update ? Or it would be great if you can post a step by step detailed reply.. Pls lemme know how to do this ..
[Captivate General] ZionExpress:
I saw the scores that you posted earlier but i was looking for something a little more qualitative, which is why i asked how it "feels". Plus from what i understand, quadrant benchmarks on the captivate dont really hold the same weight that they do when compared to other phones due to the processor, right?

(i'm still fairly new so someone feel free to educate me on this)

Good to know about the modem, i tend to have decent service around town and at work but its absolutely horrible at home. I'm pretty much reduced to only texting and then wandering about my house with the phone in my pocket while i wait for it to find a good enough pocket of service to do a send/receive. :(

Here's to hoping that it will work as well for me here in New England.

I would say that i look forward to seeing your battery results but i'll be honest, i'm probably going to make the switch before you even get a chance to post your findings.

Everything about this ROM is sounding awesome!
[Captivate General] Barsky:
OK, this is weird. I have always had a Pandora widget. but for some reason on this I don't. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it. restored it from my backups (TiBu Pro) a second time. App is there. Widget isn't. Heh

Anyone else?
[Captivate General] elfie:
Some widgets don't show up if app is installed on sdcard. By default TiBu is installings apps in SDCARD (atleast for me), I had to manually move it to phone to get widgets.

[Captivate General] nakedninja42:
I figured out that you can enable default location in settings.db file so I set it to 0 hoping that would be internal when downloading or doing backup. I learned 0 is auto, 1 SDCard, 2 External. I am still hunting around for a fix. I know its out there DG did it for his new ROM.
[Captivate General] echelonMCRhartgrenade:
Lol no, not anymore :). I was trying to flash back to stock (2.1 no bootloaders) to see if the bootloaders improved anything or had any problems. Then off course my phone falls off the bed... Yep never ever gonna do that again :rolleyes:

Installed Cog 5 beta 1, looking good so far.

The upgrade went problem free directly over Cog 4.5.1. My phone is now much smoother, so much so that it feels like a different phone. GPS got a quick lock when I opened maps, but this is no indication that the GPS will work out in the real world, I'll do some testing tonight. The screen looks a little brighter than before, but that is most likely all in my head.

I have not been happy at all with the lag that my Captivate has exhibited over it's 1 year life, and the GPS has never been very accurate, even with custom ROMs and GPS fixes that are our there. I was planning on moving back to the iPhone when the new one comes out, but GB may change my thoughts on making that move back to the Apple side.
[Captivate General] dan828:
Thing is, those words are what was used prior to "retarded" started being used as a non-offensive word around 1900 or so. Their meanings are basically the same, they've just devolved so that they are almost always used as insult words now, instead of their original descriptive terms for mental disability. So the reality is, usage of either is descriptive of the same group of people, and creating new "non-offensive" terms ultimately fails, because they just end up at the same place. Most people use the term retarded in the same way they use idiot or moron, with no intention of referring to the mentally disabled.
