[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this reply! I was just trying to get into recovery mode and I noticed this phone was allowing me.. this is due to the rom/kernel on it..but you're post with the info WORKED! I was about to start doing a bunch of stuff to try and fix.. THANKS

This whole double splash screen is very new to me with it showing the phone as TWO different models..

I see you have the new Mosaic 9 out..and that's the one you're takling about i take it? and it comes with another new custom kernel that will allow for oc'ing too? sounds good..and 1300 is more then enought.. I'm happy with 1.2 if I can.. dont need to get crazy and try for 1.6 like some..

Just follow the steps on the main page for that rom and all should be good? What will be the easiest way for me to flash to your new rom/kernel? Can I do it from a rom manager or use sd card or internal mem? Any help on this is greatly appreciated! Thanks again for posting a response to my concerns!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
btw can i just update this Mosaic 8 rom to that new custom kernel you're talking about or do i have to update to the new Mosaic 9 rom first?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You can flash that on 8.

Don't ever use ROM manager, it doesn't work right on the galaxy line.

And whenever sdcard is mentioned, that is the internal sd, cwm does not flash from an external sdcard.

To flash mosaic 9 over 8 just put ROM on sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, then go to install zip from sdcard, choose zip, and find the ROM you just downloaded.

Flash the kernel the same way, just don't do the wipe first.

The ROM flash will wipe all your apps, the kernel will not, use titanium backup to backup your apps, then restore them after the flash. Again only needed if you're flashing the ROM and you can flash the kernel on the ROM you have now,

but a backup is a good idea before any flash if something were to go arwy.

As for the 2 boot screens (and the different button combos for recovery, btw download mode is vol down and power), is because the phone has I9000 bootloaders, which is the first splash you see, the second splash is the kernel, both darkcore and semaphore use the same splash the one that says sgh-I897. some kernels use a custom image there instead.

But again, i urge you STRONGLY, PLEASE read, and understand completely what it is that you want to do, and more importantly how to fix a situation that doesn't go as planned, BEFORE you start flashing stuff. Please.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
Thanks again bud this is all so helpful. I already downloaded your mosaic 9 zip. Quick question..do i have to format my sd card a certain way first for the update to work? on past.flashes on different phone certain.partioning had to be done on the sd card in order for the update to work.successfully.

Thanks n looking forward to this mosaic 9.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Nope, you're good. Anything that was needed, which was flashing gingerbread bootloaders, has already been done by the previous owner.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
Thanks again bud. That last question was pointless cuz i read back again and u mentioned that the sd card stated is always internal and not external..so obviously i wouldnt need to format n partition etc. Thats a bit newer for me well on this new phone anyways. Used to using ext card in past.

As of now ive only updated the kernel to the new one and not the whole new rom...yet. Will play around with it for a bit. The oc was very easy and working just fine.

Btw any plans to do this mosaic rom on ICS 4.0 at all? Or maybe there is one u could recommend? i really want to check it out as so many are "raving" about the new ics os and that it the best by far, etc. Whats your take?

One other question about the flashing from the internal sd now, hope this aint silly but if the zip rom file is saved to the internal mem and im doing the usual data wipe/factory reset wont everything get cleared.including the rom file itself and then not find it when i go to do the update?

and again thanks for all the info, still a bit of noob when it comes to the phones side of things but fyi im definitely a techie when it comes to the pc hardware, software and networking side. Take care
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Data wipe/factory reset only wipes the /data partition. Leaving all others including /sdcard intact.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Data factory reset clears (/data, /dbdata or /datadata depends on the ROM you are on, /cache, and /mnt/sd_card/android.secure
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
Definitely gonna wait a while before flashing any ICS4 roms as still too early and lots of bugs to workout. Im hoping u guys eventually come out with an ics rom cuz this mosaic 8 n 9 are damn good and high quality and read a lot of good things too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
So the bootloaders, when are they input or changed? Is it a seperate update or do they typically come with a rom or kernel? So the ones i have now with the dual splash screens (gt-i9000 then sgh-i897), will i keep those if i wipe and flash a different rom or will a new set of different bootloaders come with most other custom roms? I still dont fully understand that yet and would prefer to mess with them as little as possible cuz i know how important they are and thats an easy way to mess up a phone.

Another quick question i have is about the Captivate phone itself...i know all the specific hardware specs and its states it has 512 ram outside of the 16gb storage/2gb internal rom but why can i only find spec screens that show my phone having 323mb of ram and of that most of it is used up all the time even after a fresh wipe and flash of the mosaic 8 rom ane nothing new installed? Does this have something to do with the rom itself or am i missing something? a little puzzled by this. Part reason i upgraded to this phone was to get better hardware and have more memory cuz i like to eventually install a ton of apps but im thinking i could quickly run into issues with the numbers im seeing. Any thoughts on this? Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Bootloaders ate only flashed with a pc flashing program such as Odin or heimdall.

The second image may change, that within the kernel itself, the first image will not.

As far as storage space goes, you have 16gb on the entire phone. 2gb of that is for user apps. About a Gb for the system, and about 13Gb on the sdcard.

you do have 512mb of ram, but some of that is always used by the system leaving the user with 323. And THAT being mostly used up is just they way Android handles memory. It keeps recently opened applications loaded in memory so that if you wanna access it again it will open much faster than having to reload it. It will also kill off apps as the memory load grows. Put simply: free ram is wasted ram.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
That makes sense...and great way of looking at it..free ram is wasted ram! As long as I don't have to worry bout any mem issues popping up soon..I knew there was some sort of auto system/app management that the os controls but wasn't sure how or to what extent.. thanks for that breakdown. I got it now..I'm gonna do a bunch of reading up on all this stuff now that I'm getting into the phones side of things..I like to know how everything works..and how to work it.. its crazy how far things have come in such a short time with these things! 1.5 Ghz cpu's, gig of ram, many gig of storage and its own (rather powerful and extensive) os..all on these little phones..gotta love it!

So from what u were saying about the bootladers and how they're loaded..this means the ones I have on my captivate will stay put when I starting flashing other roms? The ones bundled with your mosaic are just fine (now that I understand how they work) so id prefer to leave them there and alone regardless of what other flashing I do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
Btw my nephew just got a new phone (the newest S2 I believe, lucky bugger) and anyways he's giving me his captivate to use as a testing device of sorts. Its already loaded with the Mosaic 8 rom, maybe 9 with same bootloader, kernel, etc so pretty much the exact same setup as my captivate. So now I can test flashes, roms n kernels on it before doing them on mine or just to test out newer, different stuff altogether. It'll be a great way for me to learn..I need the practical testing to pick it up..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Stickies are your friend...the threads at the top of each section with the little push pin icon next to them. There is a plethora of information to be had as well as search for specific issues.

This phone is a year and a half old, all you need to know is here, the hand holding phase of your Android experience has came to an end, venture forth and gain knowledge my friend.

Have fun. :)

[Galaxy Tab General] siddu21:
Can anyone tell me can I update my Samsung galaxy tab p1000 android os,2.3.3 to os 3.1?
[Galaxy Tab General] agc93:
There is no official updates anywhere in the world for the Galaxy Tab (either P1000 or P1010) to Honeycomb (3.x). That means you will have to load one of the pre-alpha testing versions of the custom Honeycomb ROMs such as those produced by oldmacnut and other Tab developers.

Unless you really really really really know what you're doing (and a post count of 2 doesn't make me optimistic), I would not recommend trying this. If you really want to, search the Galaxy Tab Development forum and read up heavily before you try this.

As I have said to many before you, please actually search the forum before you go posting questions like this one. There have been many users before who have asked the exact same question and reading those threads first would've made creating this one irrelevant. Also, providing a lot more detail will get you much further. Telling us what ROM you are using at the moment, what you have tried, how much experience you may have, whether you are using Windows/Linux etc and what exactly you want to upgrade to would make us far more likely to help you.

But most of all, search the forums before posting a new thread.

If u still have problem use this whole guide and start from begining, root again, install cwm gain and start with rom from this guide, if it works other roms will work also! So this is the guide:

Get ROOT on your Device

Get RECOVERY on your Device

Get BinDroid.zip on your Device

Reboot in RECOVERY, flash BinDroid_SensationXL_TotalWipe.zip

Reboot to Bootloader and Flash THIS BOOT.IMG | Commandline: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Flash BinDroid.zip

Reboot

Well, I tried to install custom Arabic RUU file and since my mobile is from India, it did not accept the rom. I tried to make Gold Card and I formatted the memory card through the PC. When I restart the mobile, I couldn't access the sdcard to install the zip file after installing the recovery file and the boot.img.

I went to the local service center to restore the original system for the mobile and they told me that this RUU file is available only in India and I should send my mobile there!!

I tried to search for this file but I couldn't.

I'm not able to restore the original system nor install another rom.

Help! :(
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
This may not have been a good idea, did you only format the 8gb of sd memory or did you manage to find more then 8gb and format the whole thing? If you did then your phone is dead and needs complete replacement as the 'hidden' partition is a system partition

there isnt actually an SD card in the SXL its onboard circuit memory jobbies

By service centre do you mean place you purchased the phone? If you got it from them its their responsibility to sort it, and if it needs to be sent to India they would do it for you free of charge (under manufacturers warrenty)
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
When you to tried to flash the RUU file did you relock the bootloader because it won't work if you didn't relock bootloader. So boot into fastboot and open command prompt on pc in fastboot folder and type fastboot oem relock and that should relock bootloader in order for you to flash RUU file.

The other thing is did you try to flash the new recovery from recovery, by installing zip, if so thats why it didn't work. Use this recovery from Paul O'Brien and follow shingers5 steps to install it... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362648

If you can do the second step and get it working, try to install BinDroid or ANDTopix roms becuase they have arabic support.

Try the second step first and if that doesn't work relock bootloader and install stock rom and start the process again....

and if none of that works your phone could very well be dead just like DanTehMan01 said and you will have to send it away, but if you can get the phone into fastboot you should be able to get it back
