You don't have to reflash the kernel. the problem is the kernel has a messed up recovery that we can't select options with, so when Clockwork tries to install the rom everytime we boot the phone up(assuming it doesn't replace stock with clockwork on first boot), you have to adb reboot to get it to boot normally, then try flashing the .zip again..reflashing the kernel isn't necessary.

adb reboot [download] [recovery] - with no parameters, it boots normally.
[Captivate Android Development] amwbt:
Shoefly, what is a command that we can run in terminal to see if the z4mod took?
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
I had the same problem. Open rom manager, clear the download cache, click the flash clockwork recovery, make sure the progress bar for the download completes, now try to install rom from sd card and choose the ext.zip. For me the recovery zip was a zero byte file the first time I downloaded it and after I cleared the dl cache and redownloaded it worked.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Also, I had those bitmap errors and was stuck in recovery and I booted into the phone with adb and went into clockwork recovery via rom manager and installed the .zip and it works how it should. I don't think the bitmap errors mean much

Posted from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] shoefly:
They don't, the broken recovery is a pain but clockwork if youinstall and flash it works just fine
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
Is there a fixed kernel without the borked recovery? If there is I would like to flash it.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
When I do that, it does nothing. (emulator command)

[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Made 8 failed attempts last night. Really looking forward to some more attempts tonight........Bitmap error everytime. It's alsmost like it was a plan...lol
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
What's the difference between Z4mod EXT2 and OCLF EXT2?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
sounds like you needed to run an adb command from your computer:

adb reboot

worked for me just fine after receiving those errors
[Captivate Android Development] H_Scrappy:
When there is, I'm sure you'll see it in the OP. After all, we ALL want a kernel with the recovery working properly. Be patient and enjoy the SPEED... I'm sure it's being worked on.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
So I'm sure there's a reason this won't work, but I am curious as to what is is.... anyone? I know you all know about it, I just want to know for myself:

Start with a rooted phone.

Download ROM Manager if you want (recommended!) from the market and install it. Do not use yet.

Download Busybox installer from the market and install it.

Now, on the host machine where you downloaded the cwm-recovery.zip file:

1. Unzip the downloaded cwm-recovery.zip

2. Odin zImage-recovery.tar to update the kernel to support recovery. Reboot.

3. adb push recovery /sdcard/

4. adb push recovery-update.zip /sdcard/

5. adb shell

6. cp /sdcard/recovery /system/bin

7. chmod 0755 /system/bin/recovery

8. ln -s /system/bin/recovery /system/bin/busybox (if you don't already have /system/bin/busybox there)

9. cp /sdcard/recovery-update.zip /sdcard/clockworkmod8.

You can delete the files /sdcard/restore and /sdcard/recovery-update.zip now.

10. Reboot.

You should now be able to go into adb reboot recovery and it'll put you into CWM recovery. You should also be able

to use ROM Manager backup/restore, install, etc.

Enjoy.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You're making it much harder than it has to be.

All you have to do is:

Odin to Stock

Root

Install ROM Manager

Install ClockworkMod

Flash your ROM of choice (AOSP, Cog, whatever)

Ensure Clockwork still works (boot into it)

Flash the kernel in the PDA slot of Odin

Apply the .zip inside Clockwork
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Who are you replying to? If me, I know all that. I am trying to enable the bypassing of the borked stock recovery as the method I posted used to.... :D
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
can I directly start from

as I am already running Cog 2.2 Beta 6 and no lagfix at all.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
help! im panicking! so i did the update.zip and all went well fine..but then it just boots into a black screen..so i reverted back to rfs and still black screen..the worse part is i didnt do my tibu yet! so my files arent backup! please help me!!! ;( using cog 2.2 b7
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
can anybody please!!! help!!! even seems like my settings got lost and stuff..hay!! what do i do to get my launcher pro back and stuff! this mod really messed it up..said completed next thing you knwo all i get is a black screen after boot.. =( huhuhu!! help please!
[Captivate Android Development] gerbig:
Yes, that's more or less what I did. No data loss!
[Captivate Android Development] johnyhoffman:
I say this not to anger, but as a warning/recommended practice. These phones are basically computers for all intents and purposes. As such, they need to be backed up all the time and especially before messing with any of the system's components. Titanium backup also has dropbox support now so you can follow the golden rule of backup. One onsite backup, one offsite backup. I hope you get your data back and afterwards invest in the full version of TiBu so that you can backup to Dropbox also. Remember you can't get it back if you don't back it up.

Oh sweet jesus.

So let me try and understand... when you turn your phone on, it comes on, and just gets a black screen? Never shows ATT or Galaxy S logo?
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
it shows it boots up as it was suppose to but then its just a black screen the the notification bar..i can only pull it down..thats it..cant go anywhere..and if someone sends me a msg then i can check it..seems like everytying got resetted too...sucks.. just gonna hope i still have the apps list on market so i can just re dl it..didnt do a tibu..whats market doctor btw? and whats the diff between the jpm and jp6 rom if you know? thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
hmmm... no TiBu?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sorry...... learning the hard way is, well, hard.

What happens when you press the home button... it sounds like your Launcher is having issues.

Have you tried booting up in recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
yea its like my buttons dont work..but its really slow..its like it made me have more lag..i have no probs with recovery but whats the point in going there? im just waiting for the right answer..cause im just one button away from putting jp6 or jpm..*sighs* and yea its like it took out my launcher and resetted my settings when i installed this mod..
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Well this is nice!! I'm very much enjoying this current setup. When restoring tibu I do reinstall LP, but in no way does it lag. Especially now with z4mod......

:cool::cool:
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
hmm, everything seemed to work out fine for me. Dont know if it is making much of a difference yet tho. It seems to make the browser lag on froyo a bit less, but the lag is still there. However, that may just be a placebo effect.

Will test for a day or two and see if it really made a difference.
[Captivate Android Development] vevmesteren:
Though I could have probably known I still have to admit seeing all the bloatware back, no root access no side loading no lagfix is kind of a downer. Is there a clean froyo, not touched by at&t out there?
[Captivate Android Development] crazililazn:
try cognition froyo beta :D imo the best froyo rom for the captivate as of now.

[Captivate Android Development] eclypse3demons:
Hazzah!!

I finally ironed things our but my prayers and wishes going out to my late "my last bricked phone Bob" which I had to send to his makers today and get another one =(

I figured out one of the problems I was having, as far as the process goes, and also found that no matter what build I used, every time I would try to Odin Cog6 beta it would brick my phone. Did 4 attempts same results. I believe I could have bypassed all the pain if I had just restarted the original Kernel load with Odin one more time or reset my phone once during that process. As the Kernel would not start loading on the first try, I assumed something was wrong.

So after trial and error I found that I was doing Clockwork Mod steps incorrectly which appears to be why it kept failing. After I successfully figured how it ran and with the help of Chief Beefalo :D I was able to reload my phone many times, with many different builds without issues. Key points.

After every ROM I did a backup with CM now that I understood where I was doing it from...

Using Odin to load Cog6 beta would brick my phone but still allow me to set Download mode. Issue causing the phone to display just an icon "Phone ! Computer" was resolved by running Odin with the re-partition option checked which I had missed in a previous post. =)

At the point where it was hanging (I though it was anyway). I did not realize I had to select reinstall packages to get Clockwork to load on boot :confused:

I now have successful backups of each ROM version (rooted) bone stock of 2.1 + update, 2.2 Cog6, 2.2 Cog7 + kernel update and ext2 updates.

Phone is freakin outrageous now. I am so happy I took the time to push through the mess to get this going and get a better understanding of things, and thanks to you guys who gave me very good info, I so appreciate you all. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
This is a stupid newb question but do I flash the kernel first or install Cog beta 7 and then flash the kernel? Is there a kernel flashing for newbs guide that explains what steps you need to do in regards to installing new ROMs + kernels? Thanks. Running on Shep's Froyo ROM right now.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Well, since this z4mod requires the patched kernel to use the update, you would install Cog beta 7 first, then install the patched kernel via Odin, and then flash the update.zip to apply the z4mod.
[Captivate Android Development] magistrateee:
Does anybody have a patched z4mod (or original) kernel of Shep's JPM\JI6 ROM so I can try this out? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] eclypse3demons:
I think you install Cog7 first then Odin the Kernel. I believe that kernel is modified to support the z4mod.
[Captivate Android Development] DJNgoma:
Make sure ClockworksMod is working and the EXT2 zip has been moved to your SD before flashing the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Crizthakidd:
so this is an addition to cogb7? wwhat will it do for it o.o
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
Is there a version of this kernel that has the fixed 2e recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Anybody read what sztupy is working on over in the i9000 forum on a lagfix? Sounds great but a little over my head ;) way to deep into the kernel stuff for me

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.

Edit...i see he has revised his thread with thorough explanations so even I have some idea of what they are doing...and making the various lag fixes as choices through clockwork....cool
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Same thing that happened to this guy just happened to me. I'll try reinstalling EXT2 with clockwork and if that doesn't work, I'll reinstall Cog beta 7 and then retry. Kernel patching went through fine btw.

Edit: Reinstalled Cog beta 7 and did the process over again. Same thing. Reinstalled Cog, booted into it and let it set everything up, then repatched the kernel. After that, used clockwork to reapply EXT2.update.zip... the boot after that goes really fast because... it basically deletes all of the applications etc. You can see the notification bar etc and use it, but nothing else works. System messages do pop up though.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
The problem is that you lost launcher pro in the process and had no stock launcher to fall back on. I would think you could just adb push a launcher apk and reboot though I am certainly no expert

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.

Edit...i guess my point is you will have the same result and I don't want you to go through everything again and find that out ;)

Mind helping me learn how to do the ADB push? Do I just need a launcher.apk and then use adb commands to install it? What are the functions for that?

it is simple if you already have adb working on your pc. You simply use the adb push command. you can find tons of information by searching for adb but there is a beginning guide here http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-690362.html

You have to be aggressive. I used to work for Radioshack. If someone came in looking for a battery they left with a Family Plan. Don't make too many friends because you will get stabbed and betrayed.

I didn't associate with no one. I'd toy list a sale and I got it it was mines for the taking. When you make friends then you feel obligated to lok out for their customer's on their day off and use their commission codes this ****ing up your sales.

I was the top seller in my store. I was also top seller at Sears. I sold lawn mowers out the ass and garden equipment.

Hi there.

There are a few niggles i have with Sense (HD)!

One of them is the fading animations - On a non-sense rom, the toast notifications and the menu you get (when you press, uh, menu), fade in very smoothly. In sense, the same notifications and menus kind of 'appear' halfway and then fade in the rest. It looks a little jumpy. Is it possible to alter this?

Also, the 'themes' that you can download through sense, where do get get downloaded to? I want to make a frankentheme with parts of them.

Thanks!

Hi.

Im running Energy CHT2.0 Dinik Rom plus a handful of other apps.

I tend to find that after running iGo8 or PortSip or Android, that the HD2 has real trouble with the boot sequence and seems to hang and max out at 100% cpu.

i use battclock to display cpu %, but its frustrating when you have to remove the battery 24 times waiting for the HD2 to boot properly once.

Other times it will runs for a week without a reset.

The Startup menu shows the following:

Any trouble shooting suggestions to narrow things down to find the cause?

Posted this at the CM camp, three days now no answer so hopefully you guys can help me out...

Ok so I decided to unroot (mytouch 32b original) and Im having a problem getting back to 1.6. I got down to 1.5 no problem by applying SAPPIMG but its been three days and no ota 1.6 so I decided to manually apply the update but all I get is

e:cant open/ cache/recovery/command

--Install from sdcard..

Finding update package..

Opening update package..

E:Cant open /sdcard/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

Installation aborted.

Wtf?

I tried to use re-flash sappimg three times now which works until I try to manually update the 1.6 update always witht the same result. I have searched and searched but havent found any posts with the same problem...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] firedude12:
Ok Im seriously about to DROWN my dam phone at this point:mad:

I have no clue what the heck is going on, I followed a thread on here to unroot to "Legal" 1.6 from I dont remeber who and now my phone is all screwy! Ive tried three different sdcards as a last resort , hard reset twice, flashed sppimg three times and have as a last resort decided to root again just to say screw it and I CANT EVEN DO THAT NOW! I tried flashrec to flash Ra recovery.......didnt work, flash recovery is grayed out...tried a different sdcard since that one was partitioned, same thing.......tried clockwork, Nope! unsuccesful. I was able to use universal androot with success until I try to flash a recovery image and .....FAIL.

reboot into recovery

wipe cache

wipe system again

flash sappimg

reboot

if after that i dont get a cache error, ill wait 24 hours for the 1.6 ota. if it doesnt come, ill go ahead and repeat those steps with the 1.6 update.zip files
