JM7 Release on i9000

Hey all,
XWJM7 has been released:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770821
Follow the usual instructions.. e.g. flash this ROM and CSC, then flash the Captivate Kernel (both with Odin) and reboot.
I just flashed it... much like JM6 Looking forward to some GPS testing!

btw SRE for JM6 works on this i already did that.

Yup, been running it since last night. Not bad. Haven't messed with GPS yet, but I've learned not to get my hopes up haha

sounds like i should jump on the bandwagon

What's the difference between the FJM6 and WJM6? I'm running the FJM6 now..

Which modem R u using?? I'll go back to stock and apply this FW. did u install the stock kernel?? thx
Edit: BTW where can I get SRE for this FW??

I assume for us captivate users we still have the same sound, button and auto rotate probs?

Not if you flash the Captivate kernel after flashing the JM7 ROM... this ROM is still a 2.1 ROM, which we have a Captivate kernel for.

I don't think there is a working SRE for this ROM.. you have to use the basic update.zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Luckily, this ROM already enables side-loading, doesn't have AT&T crap etc.

Yeah if you flash the captivate kernel you get around the autorotate issues.
I personally am using the I9000 kernel with autorotate disabled and a JG8 modem file so I can use HSUPA =P - it does make using update.zip packages a fiasco though.

Ok, cool. At least JM6 did have the enable untrusted blah blah in settings.

You can flash Captivate kernel to get rid of all the annoying issues.

This is the SRE from JM6
http://www.multiupload.com/8IYQ3VKHR0
i used that it worked perfectly, you need to flash the Captivate kernel to do this since I9000 kernel doesnt allow us to apply updates from recovery.

All international firmwares come with sideloading enabled. AT&T is literally the only company that blocks it =P (that I know of)

No Just auto rotate and recovery menu issues , you can get rid of those issues too
if you flash a Captivate kernel & modem.

Zilch can you post the JM7 kernel that you used to flash back after applying updates ?

Sounds good so far. Throw some batt info our way though

I just pulled the regular stock I9000 kernel, pulled it from the JPC root thread, I'm pretty certain they're the same kernel build.
http://www.multiupload.com/GJEZ1OT9NN
You'll have to pull the tar out of there, it's pretty well marked, if you want to compare kernel builds though mine reads:
2.6.29
[email protected] #4

Sorry for the Noob question (long time Linux guy, but short time Android guy), but...
What CSC is best for the U.S. of A?
and
Are we just flashing the rom and kernel, or should be also flash the modem?
Thanks.

Viper Rom DK 17 2.8

I know there is a Dk 28 version now but I'm still kind of new to the game and want to fully understand everything b4 moving on. I was able to get viper rom dk 17 2.8 installed this wkend after a bunch of mistakes on my part. Everything seems to be working well on this version except for the fact if I go to any web page that requires me to log in. When I click on where I type in my username or password the page will force close. Seems like some sort of security issue. Is there a setting I can change or is this a limitation of DK 17 version. Thanks for your help.

For future reference, this post should go in the Question and Answers section.
That being said, DK17 is an older leak, therefore support for it is going to be minimal. It also wasn't around all that long, so devs didn't spend a huge amount of time on it. The DK28 roms are going to be more stable.
If I were you I would go to this thread : Return to Stock
- Once your phone is back to stock, root it again like you did the first time using the one click.
- Download and install the DK28 modem and pit file using Odin. Should be the same steps you took to install the DK17 modem and pit.
- Then download one of the DK28 roms, i.e. viper, bonsai, quantum. Install those from clockwork.
If you need steps explained a little better than post, but don't do anything you are unsure of, cause you don't want to turn your phone into a paper weight.

[Diagnostic Survey] Tracking the EC09 sd card bug

I know there have been multiple threads already devoted to figuring out why EC09 is borking people's sd cards, but I'm going to try a different approach. Rather than just asking for regular comments about this, I'm going to try to encourage answers to follow a set format. Hopefully the answers in this thread will lead to a diagnosis of what's causing the trouble. I'm asking you to answer the following questions to the best of your ability (there's no right or wrong answer here, since I have absolutely no clue why this is happening:
1. Did your sd card go belly up yet?
2. If your sd card did get borked, how long were you running EC09 prior to that?
3. What ROM were you on before flashing EC09?
4. Did you disable voodoo lagfix before you flashed EC09?
5. Were you running stock EC09, Nameless, or TechnoROM (if TechnoROM, did you actually flash the full stock package first)?
6. Did you Odin the recovery listed in the OPs for Nameless and TechnoROM prior to installing either of them (if you flashed one of these ROMs over stock)?
7. What apps did you have installed at the time?
8. Do you remember which apps you had actively running at the time your card borked?
9. Was your sd card almost full when you first flashed EC09?
10. Did it happen after you turned your phone off (when you were powering it back up), or while your phone was still running?
The more answers we get to these questions, the closer we come to finding the problem and possibly a solution!
More refinements to follow, including a poll.

Does this only affect people who flashed the EC09 package? I only flashed the EC09 radio and so far so good. *knocks on wood*

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...

Apparently, both sbrissen and Navenedrob feel they have fixed the sd card bug in EC09 and are now testing to see if the fixes work. The upcoming Ultimate Ginger Bang ROM will include this/these fix(es) if they are found to be effective. In the meantime, your answers in the poll in the OP will still be helpful and much appreciated.
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...

A test build for TSM's upcoming EC09 GB-based ROM is now available on irc (#teamsbrissenmod). Known issues include the following: if there is an sd card fix, it would be in the rfs kernel version of the ROM. It is unclear whether the bug has been fixed as of 7/5/11, so your help in the poll is still needed!
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...

im on an earlier test version of Gingerbang with tsm parts and used a kerenl given to me by sbrissen and i have been on this for over a week now with no issues at all!!!
i went straight from comm rom 2.0 to the rom from sbrissen without using odin and only using heimdall do flash the modem, and kernel (kernel provided by sbrissen)
when i first went to ec09 i used the odin flash and 2 days later, dead class 2 sdcard...using a class 4 now with no issues
hope this helps in some way!

have you been able to recover the sd card or is it junk

Was sbrissen's kernel stock rfs? How fast does your phone perform?
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...

I think my SD card just crapped out...
I had read that people that only flashed the modem weren't having issues, so that's just what i did.
Came from CommRom 2.0 straight to CM7 test build 6, had it on ED01 for a day or so and i decided to go back to Evil Fascination, and running EC01 modem for a day on that.
Then i decided to go back to CM7 test build 7, but decided to flash EC09 modem. Now it's been about 2 days, my phone was fine until about 15 mins ago when it just reboot itself and now it says damaged SD card.
Damn... i should've went back to EF last night like i wanted

I've been running the test build (rfs) for a few days now and my SD card just got wiped today. But it's weird cause it didn't wipe it entirely. The .zip files I've downloaded are still on the root of the card but it erased the download folders and such.

Voodoo lagfix, I messed up my phone, help!

Help please!
Just installed voodoo lagfix.
And it is going through a bootloop... I see the Vibrant boot screen, then Galaxy S Gt-i9000 boot screen, and some lady saying "not enough space on partition." Does this loop over and over.
What did I do wrong?
How can I resolve?
Was running deodexed/rooted KB5.
I just went into recovery and I'm disabling voodoo, lets see what that does.
Well with voodoo disabled my phone boots up again.
What am I doing wrong with voodoo enabled?
strange, most of the stuff on my phone is gone, I don't even have an Android Market now.

Which kernel did you flash? there's one kernel specificaly for 2.2 KB5 that is absolute stock with the only difference being that it has voodoo enabled...
It worked for me! First, flash the stock 2.2 UVKB5 deodexed/rooted ROM, then flash the stock kernel with voodoo enabled, there shouldn't be any issues...

It should be safe to flash this kernel with voodoo disabled if you're still on stock Froyo 2.2 KB5 deodexed. After flashing this, it'll take like 10 min to do its magic (you'll hear the woman's voice telling you the status).
Actually is the same as ferhanmm posted up there

then tried installing the voodoo kb5 kernel, and my phone is in some strange screen I've never seen before
There is a picture of a box, with an arrow coming out of the box, pointing to the android man, with a progress bar on the bottom, but nothing is happening other than the progress bar spinning.

I suggest doing a full wipe and Odin back to stock!!! from there, flash 2.2 kb5 and then the kernel with voodoo.
BTW, how are you flashing the kernel? I used an app called SGS Kernel Flasher, you can download it from the market...

Ok I think I'm ok now.
Got voodoo working.
Phone seems to still lag though, got to play with it some more.
My quadrant score is now 1400, if that even matters.
I was using cwm to flash the kernel.
Thanks to everyone above for their help

Awesome! glad you could make it work.

I would flash eclair with odin and reflash get all the ghosts out of the system that always works for me.

Galaxy s2 ICS Update, Telstra AUS

Hey guys,
Long time lurker here, I flashed back to stock 2.3.6 carrier firmware (telstra in AUS) about 3 days ago because I feared my phone had the infamous USB port error (random charging without charger plugged in and other related issues) and I might have had to return it for warranty.
I got a notification popup while on my home screen (right now 8pm GMT+10) that there is a new update available which will wipe some settings in order to install ICS (215.72MB Update).
Just thought i'd update you all that are in the same boat as I havent seen any information about carriers updating to ICS.
I'll update you and let you's know how I go.
I can't show you a picture becuase i've posted less than 8 posts.

Bit late on the update..
Telstra, and Optus have already rolled out ICS for S2 a few weeks ago..
I run 2 Galaxy S2 phones, on both networks. Both upgrades are so much smoother. Although TW launcher is the same, so just flash a new launcher to suit..
I use alot of features and high power apps and no bugs as yet..
Although I am looking for a telstra DVLP4 insecure kernel to re-root. If anyone could be of assistance?? For a beer, or thanks..

I too am looking for the rooted Kernel. Please let me know if you find one. I flashed the new update from the wanam rom and I must say I am loving the battery life. Watching Fox on the telle from my phone is kinda cool also.

Anyone who wants an 'insecure'/CFRoot LP4 kernel should extract the stock kernel zImage from the rom package, send it to Chainfire & ask him nicely to make a CFRoot kernel.
Doubt you'll see an insecure/root kernel for this build otherwise.

Neede Kernel Bad
Hey Guys i would really like the stock kernel for this rom can any help me Please I have search for ages pleas help
---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------
By the way i have tried and tested this kernel and it works great for ics on galaxy s2. And is rooted had has cwr 5 pre installed give it a try.
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5.rar Google it new user so it wont let me post links yet sorry

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5.rar
I tried it, and so far so good. One problem was rebooting after I flashed it. Phone says TW failed to launch than rebooted nad no worries mate!

Does anyone know what the modem after the update is? And if this modem can be used with a GB Rom.

DVLP4 according to Checkfus. Yes. You can flash whatever modem you like. Modems originally supplied with GB stock roms will work with ICS & vice versa. However, different modems tend to work best with particular networks and sometimes even vary a bit with location (variations in equipment/bands used by the same telco in different locations).
You should be able to find a CWM flashable version of the modem via a Google search with XDA appended to your search terms, or, have a look in the AU SGS2 thread. I'm fairly sure this modem has been discussed (and posted/at least links to CWM versions) somewhat recently. If you can't find it, ask someone to post it for you in that thread.

So long as it's a Telstra modem, I'm happy. I see your flag says you're with vodafone..

I assumed the modems were different for vodafone and telstra even if they use same frequency

What telco I use has nothing to do with anything I looked up the Telstra details with Checkfus, plus I keep an eye on the AU thread so I know it's been discussed. As per the edit to my post above, the modem is actually the 3rd bit in that string. Go back to the AU thread, I'm about to post there.

*ignorant post about not being sure how to root*
EDIT: My original post was asking a bunch of questions for how to root my Telstra specific Ice Cream Sandwhich phone. I have now done this and it was surprisingly easy.
The easiest way is to follow the following guide here (which is already Telstra specific).
However you will want to use the following kernal (pretty much first step). which is for ICS, you can find this filehere.
I was concerned I would lose my Next G speeds, but all is good. Still getting 6000kbps at home!
Cheers

Thanks Great Info
