[Q] Going from jfd to ji6 kernel - Vibrant General

Can't figure what am I missing: I had ji6 kernel, flashed backsupport files and TW core v1, which worked fine, but I ran into an overheating issue and would like to go back to ji6. Saved the corresponding clockmod zip for ji6 kernel to sd, tried to flash - no go. What am I missing? Should I first "undo" backsupport somehow?

You may have to odin back to stock jfd then to ji6. But why don't you try one of jacs or kks kernels before you take the plunge back to stock.

Thanks, this is one option indeed. Btw, why would I need to flash jfd first? Can I just odin straight to stock ji6 rom (with the "upgrade" option?). Also, is there a way to revert backsupport to the original ji6 files? - that way I could just flash ji6 kernel again...
EDIT: as usual the solution was already there, I just didn't search well enough:

I have packaged this up for all who are interested... it can be found here, rather here. If you do not have ClockWork installed, just rename to update.zip and install through Samsung recovery as usual. I couldn't get the update.zip method to work, although I only experimented once.
And here, rather here is JAC's kernel (Vibrant OC/UV V1.1 CWM Recovery) along with the Old kernel back-ported files.
And here is JAC's kernel (Voodoo OC/UV Beta4 CWM Recovery V1.1). *I have not tested this kernel due to having the larger NAND.

bump? anyone?
If OCLF isn't an MTD based ROM, you should be able to just flash a stock ROM (most of which will include a kernel that'll nuke CWM) from CWM.
If it's MTD-based, you would need to flash, with Odin (or Heimdall (sp)) the atlas pit and a compatible stock image, using 'repartition' mode.

How to fix voodoo5 0.00B error + FC loop. For DJ05.

This is for voodoo5 only. If you used voodoo 0.2, the tar archive should have the zImage from the kernel that you used.
This is NOT the same as the voodoo 0.2 fix, but it is similar.
Requirements:
Odin files + Odin = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
Voodoo5 zImage inside of a tar archive (updated to jt's voodoo5 1213 kernel) = http://www.mediafire.com/?p3jqtq2j4ongdg5
1. Flash all Odin files except for recovery.
2. Flash Voodoo5 tar archive.
3. Flash the system Odin file again.
4. Disable voodoo by creating a file in /sdcard/Voodoo called disable_lagfix OR boot into red clockworkmod recovery voodoo edition (if available) and go to the Voodoo menu to disable.
5. Install the ROM you used before/do a NANDroid restore after a data wipe.
6. Enjoy

Any threads that contain a download link for any reference to the DJ05 or another leaked ROM will be removed for the safety of the source. Some of these ROMs are watermarked and can be tracked back to the source causing them to potentially lose their job. The offending thread will be closed, edited, and OP will be warned for their actions.

Flashing Darky's rom on i9000M (Bell,Virgin Canada) with minimal risk

I'm putting together a walkthrough of how through much trial and error I came up with, in my opinion, the best way to get Darky's awesome new rom onto our Canadian Galaxy i9000M that is infamous for crashing hard, with the least amount of risk possible.
**this will take a day or two as I have a busy life...just want to help some people in my spare time so don't get mad because I'm only starting with the introduction. **
Short version (From stock i9000M 2.2 JL2):
1. Download:
Darkys rom v8.0
Latest Odin
Speedmod K12O hz=500 (Odin version not CWM!)
Superoneclick root
2. Plug in your phone, enable usb debugging, run oneclickroot, hit root. Wait for everything to finish. Disconnect. Rooted!
3. Reboot download mode. Use Odin to flash only the .tar file from speedmod as the PDA leaving everything else unchecked. Wait for reboot.
4. Put Darkys rom on root of sdcard.
5. Download rom manager from market, flash latest recovery. Reboot recovery using app.
6. Select zip using recovery and apply. Voila! Done!
7. **These are only quick instructions for someone who has basic knowledge of flashing a rom and lacks many minor but VERY important details! If you are unsure of what you are doing or have never done it before do not attempt this!!.
I only posted this because myself and it appears a few others have had a.much less painful experience by first flashing the speedmod kernel before Darkys rom. A detailed instruction for brand new flashers with no experience will follow when I have the time
A more detailed guide is available here:

The SAFEST way to Flash Darky's or any Custom rom would be this order.
1. Flash JL2 , the new .SBL (Secondary Boot Loader) included with JL2 is believed to fix the dreaded internel SD death's that so many of us had.
2.Download latest Darky's Rom and make a folder on your phone name it what ever you want and put the rom in there, you can also leave the rom in downloads if you downloaded it directly to the phone.
3. Flash Hardcores Kernel with ODIN.
4.Boot device into CWM recovery, Root device it's in the advance options.
5. Install Darky's rom , using Install zip from SD method in CWM recovery.
6.done.

if my phone is still with me (currently being thrown around by samsung)
this is the method I would use as well.
Yes this is roughly the method I used. I was nervous but it was pretty easy.
From JL2 stock you basically just need to Odin flash hardcore's kernel and then you can install whatever compatible .zip(s) you want in recovery mode (as well as root or apply tweaks).
I did a doc rom first and since I have updated the kernel and downgraded wifi drivers. No random force closes yet at all, the new board (and JL2 sbl) have my 10.08 unit running flawlessly so far.
Trying not to go too flash crazy. Although some would say to do the opposite and see if the phone will die under warranty, I think the hardware is fine but don't want the pain of trying to recover from messed up flash. So I'm waiting for a significant release before flashing a whole new base.
I just flashed darkys 902 rom and using darkys config picked speedmod (I dont like voodoo). Worked good, but had to flash JL2 modem to get 850 back. I usually run the JL2 modem anyway, just because it seems to give me the best battery life and good GPS.

Hello...just trying to get an understanding before I proceed.
1. I will be receiving a new handset from Samsung. If it already has JL2 with a newer date, do I still need to flash SBL or do the latest phones come out with a fixed SBL?
2. Ok.
3. On these particular Bell phones, is HardCores kernel the best choice or basically install what ever kernel I want to get a feel of what I like?
4. CWM, is it just a different interface or program similiar to stock recovery mode?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I bought a Bell phone, wanting to use on Rogers, but I didn't realize the severity of this internal sdcard problem.
I'm glad JL2 seems to fix the issue. Currently I'm running Eclair, 2.1.
So 1), Install JL2 as instructed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
3) Install hardcore kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
4) Install Darky's rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
2 Questions:
A) won't running Darky's rom ALSO install SpeedMod's kernel? (and an option for voodoo)? So I can essentially skip step 3? Is there a reason why I'd want to use ODIN?
B)And won't installing Darky's rom Also over write the modem in JL2, thus making unsafe for internal sd again?
(Or does JL2 refer to more than just the modem).
I thought Bell and Rogers use different frequencies, so the phones can't be crossed over.

No, They work fine. Used the Bell Motorola Milestone on Fido for a couple months before changing.
Bell SIM cards can also run on unlocked rogers phones.

I think I found my own answers:
A)Once you flash to JL2, you cannot flash CWM reboot recovery.. JL2 runs 3e recovery, but CWM uses 2e.. You'll get an error trying to apply update.zip..
You must use odin to change the kernel. I don't think it matters if you use voodoo or supermod.
B) Darky's rom actually changes the modem and you lose 850. If you want it again, take the JL2.tar file and delete everything except modem.bin.. More details here: http://cloudrainstar.blogspot.com/2010/12/xxjpy-darkys-70-ugjl2-modem-bmcjl2-csc.html

Thanks for that info. I did not know Darky 's would remove 850 band. It really pays to read through this information thoroughly before proceeding.
Thanks for this guys I was stressing to the max trying to figure out what to do for my Canadian Bell phone. This worked AWESOME!!!
Can't believe how nice Darky's Rom is.

Glad to know you got it working...
Did you have to re-flash jl2 to get band 850?
Yea Rasher I did.
I was getting so brain fried I was trying to flash with ODIN while the phone was still on the home screen....
I finally remembered to put it back into download mode and flashed the JL2 modem back in.
WOW and WOW I can't believe how fast the GPS is.
It was non-existant for me on the stock UGJL2
Thanks again guys
Oh just incase anyone else reads this and forgot to do that, in order to use your phone in BC you will most likely need to do this guys first part of his tutorial on flashing the JL2 MODEM.bin after Darky's ROM.
http://cloudrainstar.blogspot.com/2010/12/xxjpy-darkys-70-ugjl2-modem-bmcjl2-csc.html
This thread has made be a bit confused.
If i have a Bell phone, on the rogers network. What do i need to do? If i flash darky's rom and it gets rid of the 850 band, does that matter?

[Q] Does RubikS 0.3 DL30 include the kernel?

If I am going from DL05 and install the DL09 modem through ODIN, then the RubikS 0.3 ROM does it come with a DL30 kernel or will I have to install the kernel through CW separately? I searched but can't find a download that just has the DL30 kernel. All I found is the full DL30 ROM + Kernel.
Open the zip file you downloaded and see if it has a kernel_update folder. If it does, then it includes the kernel.

[Q] DK28 to KB13

OK, so I have the DK28 and I'm not rooted. I downloaded the KB13 and tried to flash it, but it doesn't work. I suspect it is because I'm on DK28. Question is, will there be a way to flash KB13 at some point for those of us who flashed DK28?
I think you mean EB13 and yes you just have to wait a few days...or odin to DI18 if you want to have it now....
1. u shud redownload eb13 ..not kb13.. apparently samsung goofed up and uploaded something weird...
2. u ll have to odin back to di18 and then flash eb13 on top.. or as some others are ssaying...just using samsungs tool and flash eb13...should work I suppose
The first thing Samsung put out was called KB13 and was acutally an EB01 build. They quickly pulled that and replaced it with the right EB13 file. OP got in on the first batch of downloads and shouldn't flash that update.
You can either go download the new update, or install root and recovery, then flash this.
