[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
Yes, Froyo will still boot. If this were a layer cake it would go something like bootloader, kernel, rom. So basically, your bootloader has nothing to do with your kernel or your rom but it is at the bottom layer of the boot process. It does effect which ROMs you can use though as gingerbread and ICS roms require GB bootloaders. So flash the bootloaders, you will still be on Froyo. Update to GB. Root GB. Place the ROM on your internal SD and then flash it. If you run into any problems check the common problems page found on the first page of the SGSICS ROM.

First, if you want to keep any of your apps or contacts backup those as well using Titanium Backup. Make sure to backup to the External SD card or make a copy of the backup somewhere other than the phones internal SD.

Second, you dont have to wipe data/factory reset before you flash. This is only if you have the problem of a bootloop when you try to install. I had this problem and when I did the wipe data afterward it fixed it immediately. So follow this:

1: Boot into CWM

2: install rom

IF you have an issue with a boot loop at this point

1: Get back into CWM using the button combination

2: Wipe data/Factory Rest and Wipe Cach

thank you !

one more question, i understood about data/factory/cash, but dont i need to format system before flashing new rom? i thought its always better to do before new rom flashing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
I think this was true when flashing older roms. When I flashed that ROM I did not format system and it worked fine. Let me know if you have any problems when you flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gugman:
i see. okey, thanx a lot again. will be able to flash in about an hour and will let you know

do you know safe way how do i go back to SimplyStock KK4 V1.0? should i first flash CornKernel_UCKK4_v603 with odin? but is it safe to do over android 4.0.3?

sorry for bothering you, but i am kind of stucked :(

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

ok, in the end managed to boot the phone with working wifi :) but still would like to know how to flash back to SimplyStock KK4 V1.0, just in case ;-) if that won't be problem for you. thank you !!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proper69:
IMHO the best way to go from gingerbread to ics 4.0 is to

- in the development section download stock kk4 without bootloaders, unless you dont have them http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1300843

- then download a kernel of your choice probably cornkernal and put it on your internal sd card

- download ICS latest build and gapps and put them on your internal sd

- oneclick odin the stock kk4, let it boot up completely

- power off and install kernal via odin without aut reset

- boot into recovery, factory/data reset, clean cache, clear dalvik, install latest ics, then install gapps right after,

- reboot system and youre done.

IF you want to go back to your other rom the simplest way is to just kk4 fresh install, install kernal via odin, then isntall your rom.

I always keep all my contacts synced with gmail, and titanium backup any game data or app data i need, and reinstall apps through the market.

hope this helps

okey, so at the end i decided to switch Doc's Master ICS and so far so good :) thank you all again for your support !!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnapolean1:
I gone ahead and flashed ICS onto my phone. It is working good but the Hang up button does not work. In order to hang up, i have to lock it and unlock it.

Now i did a Backup of Froyo from within CWM. if I do have a problem, can i go to DWM and restore the backed up Froyo?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
yes you can. Gingerbread bootloaders are backward compatible. although the froyo ROM may need a different kernel to run smoothly.

Btw hang up button froze on me once yesterday but that was the first time. Also I've been having random shut downs so while you may have some issues with it remember this ROM is still in beta.

Modem for ICS

Several of the ICS Rom's flash your modem in addition to the kernel.

However, I have noticed that sometimes it is the Nexus S modem or an i900 or something not exactly Captivate specific. Does anyone have any recommendations for a modem to flash after flashing ICS?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleeper994:

[HTC Sensation] dARTillery:
Hello,

I have tried to root my sensation device, I used a guide to do that(forum didn't allow me to link cause I'm a new user), and everything looks fine, my phone says s-off and everything looks alright, however I tried to use titanuim backup, said it requires busybox, installed busybox, says "the su binary was not found on your phone", installed superuser, and tried to update the su binary, and it fails at "checking current install path" and I hit a wall. where have I gone wrong?

also I accidentally hit the SIM lock option on bootloader screen, I don't know what that does, so is this bad? and if so how I fix it.

If you have guessed that I'm a noob, you're right, I just got my first android phone a month ago.

[HTC Sensation] dARTillery:
reading more on the subject, i'm trying to redo installing recovery described in step 2 here as I said yes when the revolutionary utility asked me to..but the link is dead, so if anyone has another link..

also is it ok to do that? running another recovery..
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Perform step2 and step3 in revolutionar s-off guide.
[HTC Sensation] dARTillery:
thanks for the answer.

Is that the same guide that I referred to? if so the links are dead and I can't post there yet. if not can you provide a link to the guide you mean.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Yes that page . An older version of recovery is attched on that page. It can be downloaded here.

Now,

1. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)

2. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen

3. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"

4. Press Power Off

5. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card

6. Reboot

Alternatively ,

If you have fastboot and adb setup on your pc then download the recovery from here.

Then flash it by the following command in fastboot

"fastboot flash recovery your-recovery-file.img"

After flashing recovery download the flashable su binary from here.

Put it the root of your sdcard.

Flash it via recovery.

Now you are root.

Note: **** If you get installation aborted while flashing su binary , do toggle signature 3 or 4 times . Then try again ****
[HTC Sensation] dARTillery:
oh thank you very much, you've been a great help, I'm now rooted, now onto trying to install a new ROM, god help me :)

I assume it will have gorilla glass. The only high end Samsung phone to not have it in recent times that I know of is the galaxy nexus and the nexus s before that, and that is because of the curved display.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] chetto106:

[Bada Software and Hacking General] r_22009:
Thank you it worked perfectly

but how can we make pfs files?

does it need a special app like trix or something?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
You can make it with Wave Remaker or Trix (You are free to choose)

PFS can write/overwrite any file in the internal memory of the phone (Except the parts that are QMD compressed)

In debug folder there is a file where you can list files/folders to delete during PFS file flashing

Samsung use PFS for firmware updating since bada 1.0 without data loss

Doing further research won't be hard as i think :)

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] bedara:
No flashing needed

After some tests (some try and fail attempts), here is a solution that doesn't involve flashing or losing your data. Simply use "STune", and after connecting your phone open "Registry" folder and replace "ShpCSCFeature.ini" with attached one, or you can edit it your self, copy the file on computer and add these two lines:

SHP_CSC_FEATURE_RECORD_VOICE=1

SHP_CSC_FEATURE_MTP_SHOW_HIDDEN_STORAGE=1

or just one of them, depending on what feature you want.

After editing just copy file back, replacing the existing one.

All of this has been tested on my S8500 (S8500XXLA1/S8500OXFLA2), but I believe it should work on any FW.
