for help flashing this rom conexus 2005 {josh from mobile tech videos} has a great video on you tube check it out goog luck!!
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
ive rebooted 15 times to test this out. mine sticks after the initial reboot after changing the lib files. on the second boot it doesn't stick, every boot after it has stuck.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes it did, but worth noting I had it turned off before reboot, had to enable when back up but rotation is still there
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The video is on the first post. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Okay lol sorry for posting again but I need an answer to make sure of this, segnaros full release pack has the efs backup script right?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
seems to be just me then....

tell me if this order is correct.

-download lib files

-go to root explorer and extract all

-move all files to correct spot in system/lib

-change permissions to the correct format

-reboot

i have also tried reflashing the kernel (javelin) and redoing the process, but didnt help at all
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Well I just flashed the i9000 version..

got into a bootloop again with no recovery

turned phone off, put into download mode, and flashed cm7 initial kernel - now am in miui setup
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have not read many complain about no service or unrecognized sim. Someone who had downloaded it should be able to open the package and see.

Only relevant if you are not already on miui our cm7
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
i'm assuming it does. when you go into the .zip it has an efsrestore.sh. I COULD BE WRONG THOUGH. until you find out if it works for sure, you could just say be sure to flash beta 7 or cm7 before flashing rc1. i know those had efs restore for sure
[Captivate Android Development] Segnaro:
Of course.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Correct but one file goes into system/lib the other two go into system/lib/hw. You should be asked if you want to overwrite existing on all
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
wait so how exactly do we do this.

Go stock........flash the speedmod kernel..........flash the i9000 MIUI rom version instead........then flash the captivate kernel..........then flash the captivate MIUI release zip????
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Please read the instructions on the first page.

It will go:

Stock

Odin speedmod kernel

Flash efs backup

Odin CM7 kernel

Format system, data, and cache

Flash miui.zip

Wipe data/factory reset

Flash CM7 kernel and modem

Go to the first page for a more detail explanation so you don't screw up your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
the i9000 rom and captivate rc1 are the same thing, just the captivate once has fixes to make it optimized for the captivate (hence the name). the easiest thing i can tell u is to flash cm7 first and i personally feel the instructions are a little easier to follow. then from recovery format cache, data, and system. flash whatever version of miui u want. factory reset. reboot

note: you don't have to start from stock, but i would be rooted first
[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
anyone has problem with installing apps in market ? i did what the OP said but still doesn't let me install apps .. it kept saying downloading..
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Directions are in the OP word for word.

If you are on anything other than CM7 or an earlier version of MiUI then go to CM7 thread and follow those instructions, and then apply MIUI if you are already on MIUI or CM7 then recovery- format system/cache, flash rom, format data, wipe data. reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I figured out my problem - my phone hates kang's kernel :D
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
you went into downloads and selected download using mobile network?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Does the captivate package include Javelin or Kang kernal.?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Slow down

If coming from stock and assuming i9000 rc1 package do this

Flash serendipity ( or odin flash hardcore with auto boot off)

Go to recovery

flash efs backup

Go to download mode

Uncheck auto reboot

Flash cm 7 initial kernel tar

Three button to recovery when kernel flash complete

Mounts and storage

Format system, cache, data

Flash i9000 rci (i checked had efs restore)

Factory reset

Flash captivate cm7 kernel

Flash captivate cm7 , modem

I wipe my davlik cache and wipe cache partition

Boot

Let fully boot

Back to recovery

I wipe cache and davlik

Flash kernel

Boot

After boot
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
which one did u use? there are so many on the site and not all of them are known to work with miui as far as i can tell from people here on this thread
[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
yes! was i suppose to do it differently?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I'm using TheEscapists 4.2 right now and its working great.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
hey just something ive been wondering. what exactly does wipe cache partition wipe, and what are the benfits?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
No thats correct, do a reboot and it should work.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Not my words but I thought answered your question

Simply put: no, not in every case; it depends a great deal on the ROM you are using.

There are circumstances where it would have the same effect - for custom ROMs which are using cache2cache, it would have the effect of wiping the dalvik-cache for market apps only - and if it is a CyanogenMod6 ROM (e.g. many of the Eris "Froyo" ROMs), then it would wipe the dalvik-cache for the pre-installed or "system" apps.

I'm not trying to confuse you - it's just that your question, as posed - doesn't have a "one size fits all" answer.

The most general piece of advice that can be given is this: try to wipe as much as possible prior to installing a new ROM and avoid doing "upgrade" installs. If you want to be more clever than that (to avoid the hassles of re-configuring a new ROM), then you ought to understand how each of the ROMs (both the "before" and "after") are using /cache to see what you can "get away with".
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
wth no matter what i did i always got stuck in a boot loop

I was a big annoyed and confused by all the instructions so i just went down to get a cookie and im guessing after it rebooted about 10-15 times......the MIUI boot animation finally comes on

Freaking weird........i guess ill go through the setup and then flash escapist CM7 kernel and JK4 modem

Edit: tried to go into recovery........back in a boot loop wtf. Lets see if the phone fixes itself and boots into MIUI..........-.-
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Pewpew

What package did you flash?

You dont read too well ;)
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
hmm.. if I have no auto rotation whatsoever do I need to reflash? I'ved tried replacing the lib files to no a vale..
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Reboot a couple of times
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
I flashed the MIUI-CAPPRE1.zip

Im following the exact directions i swear........it just keeps putting me in an effing boot loop after i flash MIUI

Im booting into download mode, flash speedmod kernel.

Reboot into recovery, install zip, install captivate-efs backup

Reboot into download, flash captivate initial

Reboot into recovery, format system, cache, data. Flash MIUI.

Reboot..........boot loop
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
@pewpewbangbang

i just flashed segnaros package following the instructions posted by me and others with no problems.

one question for anyone. is there a way to extract the kernel that comes with the rom and save it? i want to try javelin for a few days but want to know what version of kang im running as there are so many

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
If you are using the Kang kernal that came with the package its the 03272011 release if i can recall.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Pewpew

Boot loop with no recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
problem is there are two
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
lulz.......once again, after about 20 reboots........MIUI boots up

Im gonna try to download SGS flasher and flash my kernel through that so i don't have to get stuck in a boot loop again trying to get into CWM
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Segnaros full release pack didnt work, it gave me a boot loop O: , I removed it and the beta 8 one and just left the beta 7 one. I formated everything and did a factory reset, did anyone else use his full release pack? As of now I will only put "Fully tested and working" zips into the OP, this wont effect the majority of you because you can get the files from the i9000 thread and you already know what to do.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Go into download mode try to flash captivate initial tar.
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
Yes no recovery, couldn't get into CWM
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
Okay......cuz apparantly SGS Flasher isn't supported -.-
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
kangs 3/17 kernel works for me.. I believe this was the kernel that OP first had way back when
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Its not supported with cm7 yet, thats why its not supported with miui.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I think all should avoid newer kang kernels. Some of his fixes for the i9000 are not playing nice with the captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Installing now. Will report what I find not that it means much but I will anyways:D
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
If you are on cm7 then just factory reset, format cache,data and system and install the miui zip. The new beta releases will work the same away.

Instructions on how to flash this are on the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Flash went well up and running with no issues. Just playing now. I love different and well, this is definitely that. Thanks for bringing it here. Off to the i9000 forums to thank them
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Really wish I had 3 button!
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Is there some reason you can't/won't flash the 3-button fix SBL?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Well, thats a good point. I could FTS, run the fix and I should be good.......duuuhhh
[Captivate Android Development] vvaffles:
woot, was a big fan of miui when i had the nexus one, going to give this a go!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Anybody actually able to get miui weather to work?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Just flashed this over CM7 and everything went flawless! This is an incredible.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I think I read somewhere it doesn't work in the U.S. but I may be wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] steelechamp:
Do I need to do this from stock? I already have the speedmod kernel that you use on my Firefly rom so can I just flash this from there?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The one included in the rom is for only Europe, for a US version look for a link in one of my earlier posts.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Nope if you already have the speedmod kernel you can skip that part.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Try hitting the power button a couple of times. Does that to me after a new flash on 2.3.3.
[Captivate Android Development] steelechamp:
Wait, what if i unzip and recompile the cm7 kernel as a zip? Will that remove my need for odin?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I had that screen going black problem on beta 4 but it works perfect on beta 5 for me.
[Captivate Android Development] steelechamp:
mossination, could i decompile then recompile the kernel you posted and flash it without odin?
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
did anyone flash from beta 4 and

NOT

format system, data and cache?

if so, does everything work alright?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Idk I really can't answer that...you could try I guess, if that works it be awesome though:D
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
after the first boot from recovery i did get one loop back to the at&t screen on a reboot, worked fine after.

and i also cannot access recovery. any ideas?

edit: every time i power off and try to enter recovery, i get a single boot-loop and then it works. still cant get into recovery. is there another way to enter it so i can reflash the i9000 version, like using adb commands or something?
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
I redid the whole thing and it worked with Segnaro package! I didn't use kangs latest kernel like I did the first time, I used Javelin. Possible problem may be kangs 3-27 kernel??
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I couldnt get it working at all, and my recovery isnt working anymore either lol im odining back.
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
Okay.....flashed the captivate initial.......got into CWM then flashed escapists kernel and JK4 modem.

When it rebooted, it rebooted straight into MIUI animation.........nice.

Thank you for everything :)

Edit: Does voltage control work??? I can't seem to move the sliders but i can have the max OC up to 1.3ghz or w/e
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I only flashed segnaros beta 7 pack, did anyone flash his beta 8 pack and confirmed it worked?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
AVOID ANY KANG KERNEL PAST 3/26
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
My uv guide, this works for me

Hold your phone in landscape so that the sliders have to move up to uv. Take your finger and tap around where 50 is. Radio a couple times, if you want a higher uv you have to move it in increments. It works, if you want I will post a screen shot
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
yes voltage control works, it takes a lot to move the slider though, it took me almost 2 days to get it to move.

im using the first 3/27 with no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Man today has been a hectic day.
[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
I rebooted a few times now and my apps still gets stuck downloading :(
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Try going into settings- programs- manage applications- all- market- clear cache- and clear defaults.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You can get into recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Wifi or 3g
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
yes i can.
[Captivate Android Development] alec5216:
I was having the same boot loop problems w/ the cappy package. I used odin to flash initial tar and then flashed escapist + jk4 like pewpewbangbang did

WORKS! Finally! I flashed 3 times stock -> MIUI today... I guess that's what I get for being on the cutting edge(ish)!
[Captivate Android Development] xuzer:
Go to the 'downloads' app then menu and select 'download using mobile network'. Works for me
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
So its working for everyone now.

i kept trying to tell everyone that its the kang kernal thats included but i guess it was overlooked.. all and all im glad you guys got it up and running.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
does anyone know an alternate way to get into recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
wow this worked great. took me like 30 seconds to get my UV settings .
[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
finally it worked!!! :) thanks bro :D

from 3g but i got it working now thanks! :)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Abd but I do not think it works with the cm7 kernels
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
yea weird how the sliders are so unresponsive in voltage app........but eventually got mine

battery life seems to be a lot better with MIUI is the first thing i kinda noticed and i went all the way up to 1.3ghz with -100 on every speed increment.

Better than wat it was with stock CM7 and 1ghz undervolted for some reason....oh well im not complaining
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
do you know how to run it i already have sdk tools? i just dont know how to navigate to it the command prompt. i really dont want to have to flash back to stock. would there be any risk if it doesnt work?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
no problem. glad you got it up and going

if im not mistaken it doesnt.
[Captivate Android Development] FrozenComa:
I'm running Beta 8 with Trident and JK4 running at 1400Mhz/-100mV with no problem besides battery drain. :P

The only thing I need to fix is the screen rotation. Switching to English was a little tricky. I had to hit the restart from the toggle menu, a battery pull to restart wouldn't change it.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Get into dl mode and flash initial captivate tar. Auto boot off, then recovery flash either escapist, or javelin, or trident kernel

Miui
[Captivate Android Development] Segnaro:
Alright. So boot loop is being caused by kernel.

Be cool if somebody can replace the zImage with a working kernel and reupload it, because I can't atm.
[Captivate Android Development] kannonball2290:
so is this beta 7 or beta 8 or final release or the bearer of all holy that is or what?? im sooo confused whats goin on here?? :eek::eek:
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
I have 2 camera apps, how do I delete them??

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
To the people who know how to get the full release working please pm me with the instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Doing that now, what kernal should i replace it with?
[Captivate Android Development] Segnaro:
Whatever kernel you can confirm boots it successfully.

Use 7-zip to replace the zImage file inside the CAPPRE1.zip
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
thanks a ton. you saved me at least 30 mins-an hour.

one odd side note tho. i flashed the javelin kernel and when i rebooted no auto rotate. im on the captivate version so idk why this doesnt work. i guess ill try reflashing kernel and lib files if i have to
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Yea i know how to do it. Im about to install now to make sure it works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I believe

XXO

XOO

XOO

But match them with permissions from other files in directory

Miui
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
which javelin kernel did you got the one attached here or the newest from then javelin kernel thread
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
not sure. someone attached it and i downloaded it off of a post. does the thread have a newer one?
[Captivate Android Development] GoliathTheRipper:
mossination , you can make this rom like others, only flash and go !!. the process to flash kernel first and next flash rom , etc.. its very anoying
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
according to cm7, this will and can never be flash and go. read the cm7 q&a for more info.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Uhh i cant, you have to go throufh the process of flashing like cm7 first
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
It will not likely ever change. The initial kernel flash its needed for cmw 3 and nexus s filing partitions

Miui
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Uploading the new zip now. 100 % working with no bootloops.
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
never mind the new one doesn't seems to work either
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Gonna need another confirmation test after upload.
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
can you confirm that auto-rotation work in the version you are uploading? and wich kernel did you used?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Ive tested, but i also would like someone else to test it.. anyone want to test to make sure this one works. mine is working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
14% battery or I would give it a go

Miui
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
is anyone using the escapists kernal, and is it set and oced by default?
[Captivate Android Development] Segnaro:
Thanks. In the i9000 version paid apps can't be seen in the market, can you make sure they are working in my version?

Search for Slingplayer Mobile in the market.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Need someone to test this new zip, I don't have access to a PC right now and I'm on stock so I can't either:/
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Yes i can see it. 29.99
[Captivate Android Development] random1204:
What happened?

I flashed that "untested" beta 8 one I guess...but it's working fine? I don't get it...except for BLN ahaha

I'm close to 100% would you like me to try?

If so, where do you download and what problems would I look for?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Is this a build prop thing

Miui
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
make sure there is no bootloop pretty much.
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
ermmm i don't think its overclocked by default. If it is, it's 1.2ghz default. Definitely not undervolted default.

I think its 1ghz at default
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Yeah the beta 8 link is useless if this new zip works, I just gotta know if it boots up properly and everything that works in the actual full release works in this zip(which should be everything)
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
wait auto-rotation doesn't work??? or does it just need a few reboots before it works?
[Captivate Android Development] random1204:
Alright, Where can I access the zip? I know I have plenty of music and stuff on my external sd, so that'd be an easy check to see if that's working...because as per the RC of the i9000, it said that was working, so I'd check for things like that....correct?

Link or pm me the link or what?
[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
i give it a test for you i have pretty good knowledge of what im doing and i know how to recovery if anything goes wrong
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Yep. And its uploading at the moment.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Anyone's free to test it I just need to make sure it works fully so I don't give any newbies bootloops lol
[Captivate Android Development] random1204:
Alright, sounds good. AWAITING TEH DOWNLOAD LINKZ
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
depends. for some it works no problem (only on the captivate version). some have to transfer the libfiles to the correct places and change permissions, reboot couple times and they're good. and then some get it to work after a couple reboots and from every rebooted thereafter it may or may not work.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
not relevant.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Works for me!

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] random1204:
Major problem

After having the B8 installed...I went back, formatted data, system, cache, flashed the test pack and now I lost the ability to select anything in recovery with the power button, or any other button for that matter. Basically...I lost three button combo.

What to do?

EDIT - Somehow rebooted?
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Reboot into recovery mode. That has worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Did it reboot into miui at all?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
3 button combo is what gets you into recovery. do a battery pull and try again. i just went into recovery to make sure and mine is working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
if u cant get into recovery what you can do if go to odin and with reboot off, flash the captivate initial kernel.tar. then go recovery and flash kernel. if ur problem is just not being able to select stuff in recovery, try a battery pull and reenter
