Noob Q!

how do i flash a kernel with odin? i have used jf6 one click several times but i can't seem to find any information on how to flash anything with odin. Please help!!! link to the right thread would be enough...just really want to try this out but i can't finish without flashing kernel via odin. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
you need to find odin 1.3 NOT one click. search xda for it

once you have it, you download the .tar file for odin and place it in the PDA slot and then hit start.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
how the heck are people installing new modems when clockwork doesnt work?

i cant find a jk3 odin file anywhere
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
i dont know what that's designed to fix, but i'm getting a write-protection and a lot of internalsd-related issues
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
You can get into CWM with ROM Manager from the market, just click reboot to recovery. It's in Xcaliburinhand's thread.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
clockworkmod is broken in this release....have to use ODIN for everything
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
i just realized that the CWM files have a modem.bin inside them that ODIN reads....my bad
[Captivate Android Development] techniq35:
I've noticed with the i9000-based roms running on the Captivate (such as Darky's), the backlight behind the buttons is not triggered when touching the screen (only when touching a button), but running a Vibrant-based rom (ex. Axura) will.

Would this be a kernel-level issue that maybe xcaliburinhand could look at, or is it a rom issue?

Having this functionality comes in handy when using the phone in the dark (I've memorized the key locations, but sometimes I'm missing a button's 'hit zones', especially when my case is on) and seeing helps me hit it better.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
6.0 is ****ing sweet, btw....i installed 5.2 or whatever and it was slow as **** compared to aospMOD 1.0. This one is just as fast as aospMOD and has a lot of new stuff i like

plus 2.2.1 is obviously superior.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
weird, just noticed that. It's a Kernel thing.....same reason there's no haptic on the home button.

im sure it could be fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] korgmotif:
you can find it in the darky's rom zip inside the sdcard folder
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
this issue was already brought up by me in a different thread. Is ROM related, not kernel. Same for home button haptic, related to android.policy.jar.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
So I flashed Darky 6.0 yesterday then had to do it again with some GPS fixes files and tracking today at 5am under a sweet snow storm was super!

One bad thing, GEOLOCATION is not working...none of my weather or clock apps are able to see my location.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
yesterday I tried both lagfixes - A=EXT4 and Voodoo - I found Voodoo to be much more smoother and faster, especially when installing apps..

My GPS is working fine on this end - still wish I could get a lock in my office like my coworkers Droid 1 can :)

@shaolin - I assume you just took the GPS cocktail and manually injected those files to the appropriate directories? Does that have something to do with your geolocation?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Geolocation was not working before either plus I have inserted those files in pretty much every ROM I have tried like JPU and 2.2s and never had this issue...maybe some odd bad flash.

I will try again
[Captivate Android Development] Jay120171:
I did the same basic procedure as above but I used Sentiron's 1.4.5 JPU kernal and haven't flashed the modem.

It booted but I wouldn't call it stable. No force closes yet, been running only an hour, but it's froze twice and required a battery pull. One time it came up with the lower half of the screen corrupted, looked like snow on a TV. I also cannot change wallpaper to a picture I have on my ext SD card. Gallery sees them but after I choose the pic and hit save I get a black screen. Also I have not enable any ULF options, everything is still RFS.
[Captivate Android Development] domin0311:
thanks so much (diky) :D

[Captivate Android Development] domin0311:
i know cuz i am as well :D
[Captivate Android Development] domin0311:
when i connect my phone to pc it says that my internal memory card is disc protected and I cant copy or delete any file. How to fix it ?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
What kernel are you using? is if xcalibur's kernel, this is a known issue
[Captivate Android Development] domin0311:
setiron kernel jpu 1300...i dont know but my phone is so laggy now and allways gets stuck and I have to take out the battery
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Do all the steps again. Dont follow the alternative installation instructions but the long and heavy ones :p
[Captivate Android Development] domin0311:
ok I will try again :P
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
LMAO!!... hilarious I got quoted like that, and great response to it... I've found that hacking the captivate can take a few more steps than other phones, and often require going back to stock... so a lot of reading is necessary, along with patience and the initiative to learn all you can to feel comfortable... just remember that preparation is the key to success... read everything, gather all files before doing anything, become comfortable, and dive in...
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
I thought everyone had the internal SD showing up as a CD-ROM issue on the captivate no matter the ROM, I may be wrong though.

xcaliburhand posted this:
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
is there any way to edit them manually?
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
I doubt it or xcaliburhand would have posted the solution already lol. I am sure it will be fixed soon though, there are some good devs working on it
[Captivate Android Development] jgaviota:
So, do people that take the long route have the cd rom issue?

With what kernel?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
As I understood, the issue is random. Cannot be really predicted. Take the so called long route. Is not that long, you just have to flash JM8 and reoriented kernel in between. Common guys, it takes 10 mins max...
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Xcaliburhand found a way to fix the issue in v2.2.1 of his reoriented kernel.

[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Other than the cdrom (non)issue, has battery life and all the other good stuff?

[noob]And if I'm not mistaken, by following steps in OP, we will have Voodoo'd OC'd jpu?[/noob]
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yes. All partitions as ext4 and you have two choices:

OC to 1.3GHz with Setiron's kernel

non-OC with xcaliburinhand's kernel

WiFi connection

Is there anything different in the i9000 rom's regarding WiFi? I find that the i9000 ROM's re-establish a WiFi connection from sleep 100x faster than a i897 ROM - does anyone else have this experience?
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
I am going to try again from another location. I downloaded it a few times thinking it was a bad download. Maybe the new one will work. If not I could try yours out. I will place both on my phone.

Edit: No luck with Darky's v6. Cezar's ROM loaded fine. Must be something odd with my phone. No one else has reported it.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
modem oberservation w/ v6

I just flashed JL3 modem w/ V6 and am have MUCH better signal strength - Sitting in the same spot at my desk, JK4 modem had -101 - -105 dB, after flashing JL3 modem, I have -85dB 14 asu
[Captivate Android Development] junknuts:
I repackaged Darky's 6.0 to include the xcaliburinhand kernel, so you don't have to flash it separately. Handy if you don't have a Windows box available to run Odin.

Download at: h t t p://filevo.com/5q9vewyu8mye.html

And of course, install and use at your own risk.
[Captivate Android Development] waiting4gingerbread:
ok dumb question, once you load JL3, how do you add JM9/epic/jupiter fix? Do you even need those fixes?
[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
Ran into this the other day, delete the following directories from your sdcard, although i think its just the voodoo folder causing the problem but delete everything for the hell of it.

Darky-Wallpaper

Gingerbread_Keyboard

launcherpro_backup

Voodoo

WindowsPhone7_Icons
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
not sure what you mean by this - JL3 is the modem - it doesn't really have anything to do with how you load gps files.

if it is a clockwork flashable file, then you can open rom manager, and reboot into recovery from there to flash the file.

if you just have the files, then you need inject the files manually into the appropriate directory using root explorer or similar program
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
I will give this a try.

I rebooted and it worked but I keep getting FCs when opening my contacts.

Maybe this will clean it up. Thanks.

Edit: Great Tip. Worked like a pro. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Which fixes did you install?
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:

A collection of files for the GPS that the Assonance ROM has.
[Captivate Android Development] laremye:
Absolutely amazing, everything works perfectly! I am so excited, its like a whole new phone. THANK YOU!
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
wrong thread! sorry :(
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Added few more addons ;)
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Are you still running the ROM or was it a trial? How is it thus far? How is battery life/
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Anyone try oc vs non oc? Much of a difference?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
So I'm taking the plunge now! Will post results.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
Thanks! working great, and damn this thing is fast

Only bummer is no extended shutdown menu for recovery and download
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
Is it safe to flash 5.2? it just came out
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I found that the dl/u; speeds were rather slow but the phone overall was very fast. I only flashed this with the intention of testing and that I did. No FC, GPS was ok at best, animations were a little too much and like I said before, dl/ul much too slow. By slow I am talking 500-700kbps down and about the same up. I am used to about 3.5 Mbps down and 2.5-3 Mbps up. Linpack was only a 14.56 which is lowest I have had and I do not run quadrant as it is a huge waste of time. I am now back on my Axura build where I have had zero problems and speed is just as good but dl/ul speeds blow this puppy out of the water. Not to mention I am number 1 supporter.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
did you flash the JK4 modem? I did and the speeds are just as fast as my Axura rom
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Of course I did. I was one of the first people to compile it as a zip and flash it the day it was announced. I try very hard to stay on top of everything new that comes out. JK4 works great on Axura, I just can't even come close on this ROM. It is a nice ROM, but just not for me. I am an Axura user until the end.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
hmm odd im getting 3mbps down 3.1mbps up, will post my speed results after i flash 5.2 since it just came out :)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I believe you. No need to waste time flashing. Could have been a bad flash. Either way the ROM is much to busy for my liking. Window animations jump around way to much even after dumbing them down a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
well tell Hans to hurry it up with 2.2 so i can play with that too :) haha j/k
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
// How to make the animations even smoother //

> Open the App 'SpareParts'

> Window Animations >> Very Slow

> Transition Animations >> Very Slow
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Done and done. I just dont like the animations. I know they can be changed and I know how to do it. I just don't feel like it.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I do appreciate your help, but I am very much inclined with the inner workings of the Android OS. I was jsut offering my findings at a glance.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
2.2 should be coming out in about 1 1/2 hours from right now roughly. Also, I PM'd him as I was able to get the GPS even better than I did the first time. That is why my name is in the credits, the GPS and the level of support I offer. So you better be ready for one hell of a ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
Sweet will be flashing that tonight also :) Thanks agian for your guys hardwork on that rom
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Not a problem. I just can't believe the advancements that have been made. We should stop talking about Axura in this thread though. Don't want to get other people upset. Respect the thread you are in, always remember that.

Also, the new swype is amazing if you haven't tried it yet!
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Didn't like Darky's v5.1 animations either - very gaudy. So I disabled lagfix and now flashing v5.2!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Glad to know I wasn't alone. could you update us if you don't mind. I know you are good for it in the Axura thread.;)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
FYI- Just flashed back to Axura with Excalibur kernel and JK4 modem and DL/UL speeds are through the roof again just as I expected.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
Just flashed 5.2 animations are alittle better and the MIUI music app is freaking awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Animations are much better - like Axuras :) w/ the fly-in.. I'm waiting for lagfix to finish doing its thing now - Had a heck of a time getting into recovery - the screen is black for the first couple of seconds.. so when I was holding the 3 buttons, I kept waiting for the boot screen to appear - which ended up being too long, so the recovery wouldn't load.

with jK4 modem - I am getting the same results at my house - 2.7mbps down/1.3 up

Would like to see how the battery life is! so far, this rom is very fast (Darky's v5.2)

EDIT -

battery seems to be holding up fairly well -even when using the phone :)

photos load wicked quick.. ZERO waiting for the gallery to read the file and display a clear image.

GPS - SICK - After initial lock, I get location in maps INSTANTLY!
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
17.1 linpack, GPS is amazing, and the MIUI music app is awesome

This thing is blazing fast, make sure you flash 5.2 for better animations.
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
How I easily installed:

Run ODIN One Click to Stock

Have an operational STOCK phone

Copy CWM update.zip (provided in first post), and Darky's ROM to your internal SD

Enter Recovery:

Hold Vol Up & Down Simultaneously, then Hold Power, wait for AT&T logo, keep holding, wait for second AT&T logo, let off power ONLY, keep holding Vol buttons, you will see stock recovery, let off Vol buttons.

Choose Reinstall Packages, it will reboot, and if prompted to reinstall packages do again. I had to do twice.

Clockwork Recovery will load.

Wipe Data and Cache multiple times, I did it 3 times.

Install .zip from SD, choose Darky's

Hope this helps someone.

feeling like an idiot

k. so i don't think i'm a total idiot. then again you guys are here to help me know just how bad it is ;)

I'm following the LONG way, and am stuck @ the flash clockwork mod recovery as this rom doesn't have root and i've already bricked a few w/ roms.

So my questions are.

do i use one of the oneclick options for root and if so since i'm on a i9000 kernel am i supposed to consider the phone a i9000 and root w/ that as well as choosing a model for flash recovery, do i choose my cappy or a i9000?

Please advise. and thanks in advance for your time.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
You dont need to root it, it will automatically root it when you flash the 5.2 rom

To do the clockwork flash, just download it from the market like normal, or grab an update.zip from one of the threads and do it that way
[Captivate Android Development] c0ns0le:
cwm gives me an error saying i need root / busybox etc.. btw, just being on the i9000 and i9000 reoriented has been blazing fast. i've stayed away from this previously as mobile ap seemed to crash if you connected to it.

so back to the flash, how do you flash w/o root or how do i adb install it w/o root? bit confused here. again thnx for your reponse.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
You will need the update.zip found in a thread just search for it, and flash it with recovery, this will put clockwork on without root

EDIT: its in the first post of DARKYS thread on the i9000 forums with better instructions
[Captivate Android Development] c0ns0le:
btw, figured out what you mean...

1. adb reboot recovery

2. reintsall packages

3. wait for phone to reboot

4. reinstall packages

5. cwm <--- wooohooooo...

6. wipe data 3x

7. wipe cache 3x

8. install zip from sdcard

bam...
[Captivate Android Development] c0ns0le:
btw, anyone using it for a mobile ap?

thats all i'm really shooting for. but if the phone will actually work that would be great as well.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ns0le:
omfg..... this is crazy fast.... thnx so much for everyone's help and direction.
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
np enjoy I am loving this rom its almost to fast :)
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
mobile ap is working great for me, posting this from my phone set to mobile ap and its pretty darn fast.
[Captivate Android Development] Cruton502:
This is my first ROM/Kernal/Modem install! Thanks for the step by step directions! Finally felt comfortable doing this after much reading! Straight from Eclair to Gingerbread!
[Captivate Android Development] WickedStyx:
It's not actually Gingerbread. Just a Gingerbread theme applied to a 2.2.1 rom. It's still an awesome rom regardless.

[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
The issue is known. Read the 3rd post :) you have workarounds there
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
In reply to adamholden85: mate, no offence but this rom is the fastest I ever tried and I tried lots of them, including axura.

2nd, this is 2.2.1, Axura is 2.2. Many would say that isn't such a big difference but some things are definitely more optimized.

3rd.. aren't you trying to trash this ROM as you are an Axura supporter, right? Because all I saw were negative comments regarding Darky's Rom. And many of them were false. Ok, animations aren't the best but can be changed (on the UOT online kitchen) or disabled. And the net speed is great with both stock modem and JK4 and I had no problems at all with JK4. If this is what you're trying to do, then shame on you! If not, my bad and I apologize.

you'd think this would be something included in the instructions since windows users have no inherent way to unzip tar.7z files....my phone is now fubar'ed because of this step

i just flashed Darky's 5.2 using a method that is about 1000 times less complicated than anything listed here:

1. download v5.2 rom

2. download xcaliburinhand's 2.2.1 kernel

3. download ugjk4 modem.bin file

4. open v5.2 zip with 7zip

5. drop zImage from kernel zip and modem.bin (jk4) into the updates folder

6. put newly modified zip file on sdcard

7. odin one click to stock

8. reboot into recovery (i keep update.zip on sdcard so i dont have to even boot into the stock OS)

9. flash 5.2 rom from CWM

10. enjoy

as an added step, i changed some apps to ones that i prefer to use. email, dialertabactivity, mms, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] Cruton502:
Just use the latest version of xcaliburinhand's kernel until the issue with setiron's is resolved for you. I'm using xcaliburinhand's latest and it works great and I can mount my USB w/o any issues. You just won't be able to overclock.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
ugh, why is this rom so weird?????????????????????

finally got it working somehow and after flashing the setiron kernel all the additional launchers it came with are mysteriously missing
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
the rom isnt weird, it just seems that you dont quite understand how it works.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
i havent had any issues with the setiron kernel yet, but ive only had it for a few minutes

but then again im having issues with everything else so maybe its related
