Root JI6 (Froyo) by Swapping Kernels - Captivate Android Development

For those among us who aren't terribly comfortable using the RageAgainstTheCage method to root this sucker there is an alternate method! This method DOES however require some familiarity with Odin, so if you aren't cool with that or if you have zero experience using key combinations or flashing I wouldn't recommend this.
Things you'll need:
JI6 Kernel
http://www.multiupload.com/FEJ1YHMM2I
JF6 Kernel
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//test/kernel-captivate-stock.tar.md5
Root via update.zip
http://www.multiupload.com/02RXSWORVC
And Odin of course (NOT THE ONE CLICK DOWNLOADER)!
http://www.multiupload.com/DLS7TWUVPY
1. Place the update.zip on your internal SD card.
2. Power down your phone
3. Boot into download mode and set up with Odin
4. Place the JF6 kernel into the PDA slot, and uncheck auto reboot, hit start
5. Once Odin has finished, remove your battery and close Odin.
5.5 Also remove the USB cable!
6. Put your battery back in, press and hold both volume buttons, and power on
7. You SHOULD be in stock recovery now, select "Reinstall Packages" the root update.zip should run.
8. As soon as the phone attempts to reboot, remove the battery, start Odin, use key combos to get back into Odin
9. Flash the JI6 kernel back to the phone
10. Profit!

Why do you go from the JF6 to JI6? Just wondering
Why am I too entoxicated to flash my ****?! Zilch I blame you...
P.S Did you get my beer and hookers?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

whoa...definitely a weird way to go about things, but also seems easier (for the average user) to successfully root.
on the other hand, i would be willing to bet a one-click will be up tomorrow (someone said they would do it, don't remember who).
anyways...like always zilch pulls through! nice job man

The reason you have to switch, is that the JI6 kernel enforces Signature Verification on update.zip packages, so using the root zip package fails horribly. However JF6 does not share the same opinions on unsafe update packages and will eagerly gobble up whatever you feed it

This just adds root, not sideloading CLShortfuses thread covers the sideloading stuff. Also, for some reason Titanium is messed up on this froyo build, can't find the apks =(

Zilch25,
You da man. The JI6 kernel is what I have been waiting on. I rooted (using the JPH kernel swap method) and have been sitting on the i9000 JPH 2.2 kernel, trying to figure out how to dump the JI6 kernel.
Did you dump the JI6 kernel your self? Do mind sharing a link or a quick PM on how you dumped this?
Thanks

Actually credit goes to designgears for grabbing the kernel first, he beat me to root by about 5 minutes haha, I did however repack it for flashing myself =P But if you're interested in how to pull it, you need root first obviously, then from adb shell:
Code:
cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage
Then you just have to pack it up properly to be "Odin friendly"

I897UCJJ4 Kernel w/CWM, Custom bootani, User Scripts

This is based off of the new Froyo I897UCJJ4 leak.
Pre-Cog-Kernel - I am building a multi stage kernel so I can include all of the goodies like Atinm and Supercurio have done. (not very fun, multistage is lame!)
Changelog:
ClockWordMod Recovery (thanks to Atinm)
---Fixed /tmp not mounting
---Replace recovery binary with one from the market (Atinm added in some menu options that I deleted binaries for to save space)
Custom boot animations (/system/media/bootanimation.zip)
---Properly moved up the int list so there is no delay
User Scripts (/system/etc/init.d)
Removed FM Radio module and int code (it's useless)
This allows for nandroid backups and flashing anything you want!
Known Issues:
If you do a factory reset you will have to flash the stock recovery so it can set things up again.

[ROM]GingerJane 1.3 - Sense 2.1/Gingerbread 2.3.4 - FixedSh*t Edition

Due to potentially dangerous problems with the Gingerbread leak radios, I have pulled my download links and suggest you go back to froyo.
As many know, I don't do real custom roms, just repacks of stock/leaks for users. Due to the bugs in the leak this is based on, I am unable to stay stock. I will do my best, and will list any modifications I use.
Wanna report a bug?
Did you do a data/cache wipe before installing? If no, please don't report.
Can you provide logs if it is a crash? If no, please don't report.
Did you do any modifications? New kernel? If yes, please don't report.
Otherwise please PM me details, with a log if available.
Community attributed fixes:
imoseyon kernel v2.5.3GBtest2 - Fixes Camera
PSCII.apk (chingy) - fixes usb mounting with custom kernels
HTCSetupWizard.apk (aiccucs) - No more activation of death

Unable to download new HTC widgets - NOT BROKE, server side issue, like in 2.1 leak for Eris.
Uninstalling an application causes it to "freak" - Need details + logs before I look into it
Gingerbread leak is alpha software, it is buggy. All roms based off it will be buggy. If this bricks your phone, it is your fault not mine. If it causes any harm, your fault not mine.
DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED
Radio flash is not needed if you are upgrading from another Gingerbread Sense rom. Data/cache wipe is recommended.
Installation Instructions:
Download both the ROM and the radio.
Rename PG05IMG_gingerradio.zip to PG05IMG.zip and drop it onto the root of your SD Card.
Put mecha_gingerjane_1_3.zip onto the root of your SD Card
Boot into recovery
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Perform a factory reset
Flash mecha_gingerjane.zip, DO NOT REBOOT
Using ADB, reboot to bootloader
adb shell
reboot bootloader
If in fastboot mode, switch to bootloader mode and allow the updated radios to flash.
Enjoy!
Since everyone wants screenshots, here it is. It looks ...like...stock.

Just a Question:
So the new radio for this rom... Is it compatible with the current froyo roms we have?
If not... can we flash back to froyo w/ a compatible radio? or is it GB or Bust?
This question had to be asked at some point.
bloat is still in this one right? So the basic debloat and this one are different?

Be Prepared: gingerbread will break all one click roots

OK, this is a public service announcement, after having tested stock EE03 with all forms of one click roots, using rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin and GingerBreak, and the prognosis is:
We have come to the end of an era for one click roots. It's over, and the exploits have been patched.
So, for official gingerbread, I predict that the only way to root it, will be to odin/heimdall a rooted kernel and/or cwm. The current trend has been to flash a rooted kernel for other samsung devices.
Of course, there could be some chance that somebody will provide another exploit that'll give us adb rooting capability... but honestly, I doubt it will happen. Hopefully I can be proven wrong.
Anyways, I wanted to give users a heads up, before the inevitable flood of "why isn't this working for me" threads emerge whenever official gingerbread is released.
I had spent many hours getting ready to release a new all in one root and recovery, going so far as to make a new cwm and rooted kernel for it, to only discover the effort will be moot very soon.
Well, at least you can't say that I didn't give a warning.
Edit: just so you know, the cwm 3.1.0.1 thread has been updated as an odin flashable tar, so that clockwork can be applied, no matter what... you can find it in the dev section.
Sounds like the pre-rooted ROMs are OK then.
I think the Bonsai MasterKey unlocker *may* soon work on gingerbread devices. It flashes a recovery image which then let's you flash a rooted rom. We have also made Heimdal available in win32, win64, linux, and osx configurations.
Heimdall will alow you to eb13 and an EC05 modem togetther. I assume it would do a gb modem at same time as well.

ACS prerooted the Gingerbread leak. He is talking about one-clicking the Gingerbread OTA.
There has never been, and will never be, an exploit free piece of complex software (like an OS). It can't be done. Whether the exploits are found, and how practical they are to use, may push people to do pre-rooted kernels and such, but that doesn't make an on-the-fly rooting impossible, just not easy or appealing.
Like you have said, worst case is we have to wait for someone to post a prerooted version of the stock rom.
What concerns me is that all the backup and recovery options I have found require root to work. I'd like to install the new Gingerbread when it comes out, but I'll have to wait for root one way or the other

Has it been confirmed that EE03's vold is patched against CVE-2011-1823, or is it just that the present GingerBreak doesn't work? They claim in the exploit README that offset/indexes may have to be adjusted on some devices.
So are you saying we should wait before we OTA, when or if the OTA comes?

Well it appears so, sort of. It looks like vold may not be patched with the array bounds check, but libsysutils.so is patched to ignore netlink messages from user processes, so the exploit commands can't be sent to vold. Bummer.
Well that sucks! Hopefully Gingerbreak creators can find a way to exploit around the patch. Otherwise, the Epic is doomed!

4. PROFFIT!!!!!
No need to odin back to stock before flashing this and GB bootloaders aren't required
if the glitch kernel freaks out on you... you may need a different leakage version. Source code and updates for glitch kernel, can be found in the following thread ------->http://bit.ly/pNkURn
CHANGELOG:
v1.3- Initial release and port from samsung vibrant, relatively untested
Seems interesting...i'll try it out tonight.
As shall I... I doubt many people here will get the KingKlick reference lol (I'm from way back... G1 days). Great to see you deving for Captivate, biff.
you guys are officially testers. Please let me know any bugs or issues you have. Cappy and Vibrant are basically the same so i think i pulled it off proper, but since i don't have the device, its not possible to know. Once you all confirm its as stable as it should in theory be, i'll push to rom manager and start doing biweekly updates.
Sounds good. I won't be using Glitch though, I'm currently testing a kernel of my own (in my sig). TK-Glitch was the dev of Gitch kernel btw
I will give a try also this night!
So I can flash this with gb bootloader and Samsung rom without the need to go back to froyo stock?
Thanks in advance

That's what the OP says. If you have issues, then they're most likely caused by your GB bootloaders. Give it a try, worst that can happen is that you have to go stock. (disclaimer: worse can happen if you really, really, really screw up and I'm not responsible)
+1. I have jvp installed. With gb bootloaders. Do I have to-
1. flash to stock eclair
2. flash to stock gb
3. just wipe and flash?

P.s I have never flashed cm or aosp before, so I have just the very basic idea of aosp. Only thing I know is that battery was pretty bad on cm7 due to the phone not being able to get to the deep sleep mode. Could someone please tell me how is it on this?
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
I already answered this if you want to be safe, go for stock eclair. > flash

Using the glitch kernel fixed battery drains on my vibrant version, hoped using glitch on this rom would achieve the same thing. In theory it should. let me know guys

Sure thing. The ROM's been great so far, no issues except for a soft reboot, then when it booted it hard rebooted. Just a one time thing, and I've used the phone plenty since then, so I don't think it's anything to worry about.
Gonna flash here in about 15 minutes...i'll let u know what I think, preety excited for something different!
Error when attempting flash from Apex 9 (JVR):
"Assert failed, get prop....." blah blah blah.... "Status 7"
Hmm
Regards
Smith
EDIT: I modified build.prop to read SGH-i897 instead of GT-i9000 and it works. Well, it's installing as we speak...
EDIT 2: How can I change the band selection?? *#2263# isn't working...
Gonna flash in a couple of hours... Backing up stuff..! Ne more reviews n reports?

I am getting the assert error as well checked build prop. Says sgh-i897 currently running cog 5 v2

This has been one crazy week. I never imagioned going from TWRP2 as impossible on samsung devices, to a one click zip so fast.
Simply flash the zip below, you will have the exact same kernel as before, except with TWRP recovery magically replacing cwm.
This means that this can be flashed on CM7,CM9,AOKP,Gummy,CNA,etc regardless of whether you are using the stock kernel, glitch kernel, or anything else.
Note: You must be rooted and/or have a custom recovery already installed!
Disclaimer: Team Win strives to provide a quality product. However, it is your decision to install our software on your device. Team Win takes no responsibility for any damage that may occur from installing or using twrp.
Features:
Touch based recovery
Flash zips
Backup / restore roms
wipe cache,dalvik,/data
Misc.
Known Issues:
No usb support (adb, mount usb storage)
No /datadata support (can't backup or wipe app data)
reboot recovery broken (just reboots normally)
Report Problems:
I know there are a lot of problems as this is an ALPHA release.
However, it is still usable as a recovery, and a public release allows me to find and diagnose more problems.
So if you have a problem that has not been mentioned, post about it with a log, so that I may begin fixing it.
goto Advanced->Copy Log to SDcard
then upload /sdcard/recovery.log
Download: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/captivatemtd
I hope the bugs will get ironed out, so this can become the best recovery for us captvate users (and next other SGS devices).
Enjoy!
Looks very promising. Will try out in the next day or so.
Thanks
you are evolutionary success, act like it
uhm, sixstrings has something like this too

I realize. I have been working on this for some time. I hang out in #glichbeta IRC and contribute to their dev work... So they have had access to this for a while, and have started integrating it into the glitch kernel, which is also in AOKP.
Go ahead and ask sixstringsg. They are my prebuilts I shared.
Anyways, this has a few advantages. Ex: you can still run stock cwm, then flash this over your kernel to test it out. Instead of being 'forced' into using something before it is perfected.
So far the only problems I find are that b34 essentials is only half way flashing. TWRP doesn't like the morphing script. And butter cream does not work at all with TWRP.

You'd think that the banner in his sig that say "Glitch Developer" should be a tip off.

They do. It's called, "If you can't read the OP, one-Click your way back to stock because you're not ready for custom ROMS"
You know what? I think ima put that in my sig lol.
Though we should probably try to make our way back on topic. I mean, TWRP with any kernel? Awesomesauce.

Alright. Lets call the arguing done, and just talk about the recovery.

Can you get me a log from /tmp/recovery.log
Or by going to Advanced -> Copy log to SD, and uploading /sdcard/recovery.log

It is stable enough for me. If you don't like it you can reflash a different kernel to get CWM back.

I have tried it. I updraded AOKP, flashed gapps, flashed glitch kernel. Made a backup, restored a backup - all fine.
However, as with every one else, I encourage you to give it a shot. The more testers, the better.
I am loving this recovery. Great job. Keep up the great work. Been waiting for this to come to the captivate.
