I will be receiving a cappy from warranty so I assume it will be running kb1 or kb2 so the best thing to do is flash at&t bootloaders and then Odin a gingerbread kernel then flash pinnacle correct? sorry I have never done this from a stock froyo phone.

Edit: which kernel should be flashed, boogs? And I put it in the

pda slot in Odin right?

Currently Pinnacle 1.2 and have never been happier
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
thats correct.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Just follow instructions in pinnacle flasher kit. Flash AT&T GB bootloaders, then custom kernel to get CWM then ROM... you can download rom and find all other relevant files in flasher kit
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
either boogs or xcal' no voodoo. yes in PDA slot
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
Thank you very much for being the most helpful developer on XDA it is very much appreciated.

Currently Pinnacle 1.2 and have never been happier

I was wondering, does this ROM come with the tweaked stock web browser that's found in the Apex ROM? Also, what are the advantages of this ROM over Apex 9.x?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The browser works fine, but not as good as apex. Advantage is that it is based on native captivate build and seems to be stable. Apex on other hand is loaded with features which are missing from pinnacle

GPS

Drove an hour and a half up into the mountains using Navigon GPS while simultaneously listening to music on PlayerPro and making and receiving phone calls (until I lost phone coverage in the canyon). Everything worked perfectly. No loss of GPS signal (even after losing AT&T phone coverage), no music skips or lags, music stopped when placing or receiving phone calls and then restarted like it should.

This is the way our phones should work. Good work Watsa!

Update: Also used AllSport GPS for 8 mile hike to top of Mount Audubon and back. No breaks in the GPS signal during this hike.
[Captivate Android Development] csdibiase@gmail.com:
Stable is the most important feature of any ROM for me. Pinnacle and its kh3 base have proven much more stable than uckf1.

As a aside, does anyone else see the original GB leak version as a bit of subtle humor by the Samsung engineers? Just saying...

Looking to install this on friends canadian rogers captivate. I'm pretty sure it's almost the same as ATT's but can anyone confirm it's compatible.
[Captivate Android Development] LamboDroid19:
Hi Watsa,

I have a problem. I need a different version of busybox installed. I asked the question in the V6 Supercharger thread for an answer(since that is what im trying to run) and he suggested talk to the developer of the ROM. I can upgrade busybox but only stays until I reboot. I noticed it is installed in two places /system/xbin/ and /sbin/ . I have replaced the one in /system/xbin/ and it stays updated even through reboot, but I try to replace it in /sbin/ and it appears to work until I reboot then it gets overwritten by the old one again.

What to do? Great ROM btw.

How do you get the 5 icon dock? I'm not familiar with working with Kitchen.
[Captivate Android Development] sram21092:
hey, im flashing from cognition v2, and I was wondering if there are any special steps i should follow to flash this rom because Ive read a lot about the different file systems or something. I just want to make sure I dont brick my phone..
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Try Go Launcher from the market. 5 icon dock is not in the kitchen but is an option in the launcher you use, if it has a 5 icon dock option.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Here they are -

Stock KH3 (With bootloader)

Stock KH3 (without bootloader) Since you are already on Cognition 5 v2, you already have AT&T GB bootloaders, you can use this one.

Boog's KH3 Kernel

Heimdal

My advise to you is to flash Stock KH3 (bootloader free) using Heimdal/Odin first, then flash boog's kernel and then Pinnacle 1.2.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Flash this
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
watsa,

so this is where you have been keeping this gem. nice, looks really nice. loving the absolute love for Cappy. looks like kf1 is about to get squeezed out of the Cappy world.

cant wait for you to throw all the goodies APEX has, after that, i am all over it. exists seems to be banging out a JVS as well, 0.5.1.1 i believe. looking forward to the match up of the super titans.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Spent the past two days on Fusion V, but now I'm back. I just love the SGS II theming. Thank You for an excellent rom!

HELP! I'm stuck on the AT&T White Screen.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Still stuck? U were on rfs only? just confirming? try and reflash pinnacle again?
[Captivate Android Development] :
I flashed back to stock JF6, master-cleared, flashed KF1 bootloaders, flashed the kernel in the pinnacle folder, and flashed 1.2. Stuck. Reboot into recovery and reflashed, stuck.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The kernel was I9000 reoriented novoodoo? I am confused, it works for everyone :confused:

edit: try this.. drop latest boog kernel in updates folder of rom before flashing and then try
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
Short version: yes, you need to flash back to stock KH3 first, then flash Pinnacle. Cog5 uses the ext4 file system, which is not (yet) supported with Pinnacle. Flashing back to KH3 will return you to rfs.

Long version: read the book I posted above. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] :
Ok, I have no idea what happened, but I just repeated my previous process and it works now. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] hyperpowerr:
Does any use the stock e-mail app that comes with this rom, which I assume is ported from the SGSII? If so, has anyone been able to get the badge notifications for the app to work? The badge notification is the orange circle that pops up on top of the email icon when you have unread mail. This has really been bugging me because the notifications only seem to pop up when I open the app and close out of it. The stock 2.3.3 email app does not have this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If you are not liking SGS 2 email apk, I posted 2.3.4 KH3 email.apk a few pages back and how to make it work.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
It's only a matter of time! Pinnacle will have all the bells and whistles of Apex soon enough. :) Do you really think Watsa could keep from making it such?? :D
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
Except for the internet speed, that is completely out of watsa's hands

Currently Pinnacle 1.2 and have never been happier
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I "wasted" 3 days on JVS, samsung can keep pinnacle away from getting these bells and whistles :(
[Captivate Android Development] LamboDroid19:
My question always seem to get skipped . :(

Anybody have an answer?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
oops :o

Try uninstalling both versions of busybox and then use busybox installer to get the version you want?
[Captivate Android Development] ryboto:
Watsa, just discovered that the email.apk from the SGS 2 avoids exchange email security. I am most grateful! Definitely a smooth experience so far!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Its modded to avoid it ;)
[Captivate Android Development] LamboDroid19:
Still a no go. :(

it is successful in /system/xbin/ but gets overwritten in /sbin/ .

The one in /sbin/ is strange, it has permissions rwxrwxrwx and has an arrow pointing to the word recovery. so it looks like this rwxrwxrwx -> recovery .

The busybox in /system/xbin/ has permissions rwxr-xr-x and does not have an arrow.

I'm lost and confused on what to do. :(
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
Cannot disable lagfix

I am running Apex on DarkCore right now, but really want to move to Pinnacle. Step one seems to be disabling the lagfix. Unfortunately that fails - I seem to be stuck on EXT4 at the moment. In voodoo_log.txt, the failure appears to be logged as "secure su binary for Superuser apk cannot be installed".

What are my options?

Can I tell ODIN to re-partition, but then don't I need a PIT file?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
you dont see a su in xbin? strange
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
Looking in /system/xbin I do see su. Strange, huh?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
So all you are doing is going to CWM --> Voodoo --> disable lagfix --> reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
That is correct.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Honestly, there aren't many features missing that I need. Well, that is if you don't count mattedblues :p
[Captivate Android Development] petrichor8:
I must be missing something, I don't get this part:

In the pinnacle_flasher file, /bootloaders, there's just an odin exe. Having never used heimdal, does it know what to do with that file?
[Captivate Android Development] :
I hope this is a joke? You double click the .exe like any other executable file, such as odin, it opens a one click program. Plug phone into download mode, and wait for yellow com port, click start.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
Crap! My fault; I didn't realize the Pinnacle bootloader package was an Odin 1-Click.

Go here to get the i897 GB bootloaders. That file includes boot.bin, Sbl.bin, and param.lfs. You will already have param.lfs from another file; it should be the same thing.

And no, nygfan760, that wasn't a joke. It was a legit question, and your post was neither helpful nor answered his question.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
Hope watsa doesn't mind, but since I really didn't care for the JVR dialer and I never had issues with the dialer in Pinnacle 1.1, I put together a little 1.2 custom update that is exactly the same as the rest of the 1.2 update, but puts the 1.1 dialer back in and eliminates Swype ( I didn't need it having already installed the official beta). If you've already flashed 1.2 and want to go back to the original dialer (without the messaging button and with the noise reduction menu option), you can flash this as a temporary fix until the next version comes out. I believe that watsa said that he was reverting dialers in that version anyway.

And watsa, if you'd rather not have this posted, let me know and I'll take it down.

Hi,

I'm on Apex 9.3 now with talon and universal adrenaline shot.

If I cwm pinnacle will it be completely wiped?

Just con confirm, I'm pretty sure it will be.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
No Problem :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yes it will be wiped, dont forget to convert to RFS (disable lagfix) before flashing pinnacle
[Captivate Android Development] :
Except for the part that told him how to use the bootloader file included.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
I have about the same issue. Sometimes it locks up and I do have the issue with it turning off by itself. I am going to try another launcher as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
No, actually you didn't, because that won't work for someone using Heimdall. Which was the entire point of his post.

Ok! Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
What was I thinking?!

Yesterday I took a look at the new JVS 2.3.5 and decided to load one of the i9000 roms (adapted with key fix and Cappy Dark Core Kernel).

I thought, "it is gonna be so nice to get back lockscreens, bln, voodoo lagfix/color, etc."

Then I did it.....ARGH!! JVS modem seems to not have 850 band enabled out of the box. Sound quality on calls was terrible (tried JK4, but still crappy, low sound). App drawer was blurry.

I want to thank you, Watsa for your great work and for giving us Captivate owners a proper Gingerbread rom for our phones. I'm headed back to Pinnacle.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
damn JVS :(
[Captivate Android Development] hyperpowerr:
Is there any way to kick up the vibration intensity and feedback? The max settings are way too low for me
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
May I ask why JVS was a "waste"?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Its not a waste for apex. Its a waste for pinnacle
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
I can't get my Cappy into recovery mode after flashing the .tar file, thus I can't flash the ROM....any suggestions?

I really hate the sequence to get into recovery with the Cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Did u flash bootloaders first?
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
Yes, I followed the steps in the Flasher file...I was at the Reboot in Recovery but I can't get it to work. My fingers are sore from trying...lol.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol... u r trying vol up + vol dwn + power?
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
Yes, I can get in the d/l mode fine but that darn recovery sequence is a pain.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
try flashing kernel again from ODIN and then try getting into recovery, else my friend I am afraid time to come from stock again :(
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
If you are on i897 GB Bootloaders, make sure you release the buttons on the first flash of the AT&T screen.
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
Ok, I guess I will have to go back to stock...Grrr, the joys of updating ROMs I guess.

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

I tried that, and on the second flash...the third...nothing.

Oh well, I will get it working one way or another...lol.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
How about using adb, if you have android SDK installed on your PC?

adb reboot recovery
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
On I897 BLers, you should not be able to get into D/L by the keys only. It is vol up and down, then insert the USB. Maybe BL did not flash correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
That is how I got into D/L, up down, insert USB, which is quiet easy. But the recovery sequence is my issue. I am going back to stock...or at least trying. :(
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Well damn. All I know is hold the volume rocker (both up and down) and the power button, release as soon as you see anything on the screen.

But that has been said and you have tried. I am at a loss. Just do not give up :)
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
tried using adb?
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
Well darn it...I was going to flash back to stock with ODIN...I left it while I went to finish supper and I came back to Firmware upgrade failed, try using recovery mode. Am I screwed? I can't get it to do anything now.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Does it show any signs of life?
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
So I am still having this problem getting back to RFS. I am using the method watsa asked about. I have searched for an answer and cannot find anything.

Given that I don't care if all my data is wiped, I suspect the easiest thing is to do a more major rebuild via ODIN. If this is true, what is the recommended procedure?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
I finally got ODIN to recognize it, even with the firmware upgrade failed, so I am trying again. Fingers crossed...lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
If disabling lagfix isn't working and you're looking for more major, go:

Stock KH3 -> Pinnacle_Flasher.zip kernel -> CWM -> Flash Pinnacle 1.2

That's what I did and it worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
Well, it is flashing now...recovery mode came right up the first time. Whew! Now I hope I have no other issues. lol

Thanks for all the help!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
No of person(s) in trouble = 1

No of person(s) offering help = 5 or 6

Good to see :)
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
It will be worth the "excitement" ;)
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
This is the first time I have used this ROM and I will admit I had more trouble flashing but had more help than with any other ROM. So thanks.

It has rebooted so I am going to start getting things set back up. Thanks again!

One last question for the night...how do I remove the extra panes? I only use 3, home plus 2 on either side. It used to be under menu but I don't see the Edit icon now.

And when it first came up, it asked what I wanted to use Home, Samsung Home, or something else. I selected Home, was that right?

Ok, so that was 2 questions. :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Home = SGS 2 Themed GB launcher --> Fixed 5 screens

Samsung Home = SGS 2 TW4 launcher

Sony ericsson home = Arc launcher

No of homescreens can be changed in last 2
[Captivate Android Development] tngal22:
Aw, so I should have chose Samsung Home...how do I change that?

Never mind, I remembered.

I know I saw a post about this but cant find the answer. trying to figure out how to fix the m4a tags. Solution plz?

[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
An easy way is Home Screen Changer from the market. Do not check "use this as default" until you get to see them all, then check that block and pick the one you like.
[Captivate Android Development] jeremytanner:
Or you can just find the launcher from your applications list ("all" tab) and choose "Clear Defaults" -- Once you've done that, hitting the Home button will present you with the options.
[Captivate Android Development] bearnakedbrew:
I flashed a KH3 status bar theme and it killed the toggles. Is there a way I can revert it back without flashing the rom again?
[Captivate Android Development] jeremytanner:
Someone else might have something prepackaged already, but I'd guess there aren't that many files involved. Simplest method might be to figure out what files are being flashed (in the package you just flashed) and pull those files from the Pinnacle zip. Then open the mod zip and replace the mod files with the Pinnacle files, and flash it again. It might only be one or two files.

If you're not sure how to do that, send me a link for the mod you flashed, and I can take a look at it.
[Captivate Android Development] Tritan88:
If I recall there is an app in the market to do this. I do not remember the name though.
[Captivate Android Development] xijar:
There are apps to correct the tags but they are fine. My m4a files are read properly by everything but kh3. Someone claimed to have fixed this near the beginning of this thread but left no clear explanation.

I got a couple questions though.

1. Has a method to replace the AT&T logo been developed?

2. Clicking on the Software Update button at the bottom of the Settings screen would probably mess up my phone right?

3. I cant seem to change my lockscreen from the SGS glass screen. This is suppose to happen right?
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Go to manage applications and check your app. It is probably installed on sd card. Move it back to phone and reboot you would see it in widget list.

For some reason this rom installs apps on sd by default. I had to move my sprindpad back to phone to see widget.

couple more caveats for using heimdall to flash

Ok, couple things to take note of, so you don't pull your hair out.

if you're using windows 7 (and I assume vista as well), make SURE that you install heimdall drivers as an administrator (right-click on /drivers/zadig.exe, and run as admin).

Once that's done, you also have to open the cmd window as administrator. type command prompt in the start menu, right click, run that as admin, too.

had a devil of a time getting into recovery after flashing the i9000 kernel, just kept getting stuck in a boot loop. To get into recovery to flash pinnacle 1.2, hold vol-up + vol-down, press & hold power, then AS SOON as the screen turns on, release everything. (note, i'm running build 1101, not sure if it matters).

pinnacle is flashed, time to see if tibu & market are my friends this time. On to step 11!
