JM6 was released in I9000 boards

JM6 was released over in the I9000 boards. I have it on my captivate right now. GPS seems better. it was the first thing i checked. Can't speak for any lag issues yet.

These notes are for JM6 with unhelpful's kernel and designgears SRE. If you don't want super rooter simply do not do the last step with the update.zip. If you want stock kernel use the one found in link
here
instead of unhelpful's.
I would recommend using unhelpful's kernel and designgear's hacks.

Steps I took
1. ODIN stock
2. PIT flash
3. Flashed the JM6 PDA, did not touch the modem from their release.
4. Then flashed a captivate kernel on top.
If I stay up any later tonight i'll keep testing, perhaps check quadrant. They didnt' seem to see any gains in that. But I am currently locked on between 4-8 satellites, from my apartment window on the ground floor, and its raining out. On a clear day i used to be lucky to lock 3. Definitely seems to be an improvement.
I'm going to flash the EPIC fix on top of this and see where that gets me.

checking a few things out on this, modem.bin for one... then checking out what gps settings they have changed.

Nice let us know how it goes

Well,The epic fix seems to put it at about the same. Again, this is quick testing, not driving... just within a few minutes. I've definitely made it up to seeing 10 or 11 since I put on the epic fix... normally I don't get above 5-7... and with the JM6 had seemed to cap out around 9. Doesn't seem to help locking any more though.
If anyone else has any observations feel free to chime in.
BTW, designgears... great work with the superrooter mod. I use it all the time.

Sounds like this might be better than either the JH2 or JH3

Seems to be so far. I really hope so. Now if I'm running JM6, all I can hope is that a samset gets built on it. I do rather like those ROMs

Just ran quadrant. No lag fix on it got 927. Using unhelpfuls kernel.

awesome man. Thats the news I wanted to hear. No need for a samset now.
Also, I just went into the service mode to see if playing with gps settings would do anything, good or bad... seems the supl.google.com is already set. And maybe I just havn't spent enough time in those menus, but it seems like there are more options as well.
This rom is pretty good.

Which CSC file did you use? I'm going to try to get this flashed tonight. I want to make sure I'm following you though.
You flashed back to stock JF6 using Odin.
Then you used Odin to flash JM6 and a CSC file (which?) but no modem file. (How do I make sure I'm not flashing a modem?)
Then you flashed unhelpful's kernel on top (is there any way to get/use a stock kernel?)
Sorry for all the questions. This isn't my first time flashing a ROM, but it is my first time flashing seperate parts in ODIN like this so please pardon the ignorance.
edit* I would assume to not flash a modem, I would just leave the modem slot empty, but I just wanted to make sure.

The modem file is separate from the code file.
Reaver117's original thread on flashing JM5 is what I used as a guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734871
I have actually tried a few of the CSC files they posted. They all seem to be the same. I think i've flashed my phone over a dozen times tonight just seeing what works.
EDIT2: I personally like the OXA *Multi CSC* (for France, Germany, Italy, Poland, UK, UK & Ireland) as I don't need to see russian every time i boot my phone until it reads the sim card.
EDIT: OT, and that be post 30... no longer have to see junior member

[Q] Quick DJ05 Question

Hello, I looked around a bit and couldn't find an answer, so I figured i would just post this and ask.
I have two (probably) easy questions.
1. I'm on DI01 right now (superfast and superclean), can i go straight to DL09 or do i have to go DJ05 then DL09?
2. Can anyone give me a link to download odin? The link in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
happens to be broken for me.

anyone?

You can go straight to DL09. I have Odin shared on my Google Site page with instructions for upgrading as well, see here.

Thanks.

I use voodoo as it makes installing apps a lot faster and lags the phone less. Since voodoo5 and red clockwork, it's been much more reliable and easier to use.

Dl09 was a success.. I'm on the non-voodoo kernel and I'll probally flash voodoo tommarow.

That's good to hear. The only thing you need to remember after moving to voodoo is to be aware that you're using it when switching kernels. If you flash a non-voodoo kernel without first disabling voodoo, it can be a big headache. However, with the current state of development, most things are moving toward voodoo since it has become more stable and reliable.

Yep yep. Thanks for the quick replies and all the help you have been. I have the voodoo zip file on my sd card (the one from the DL09 thread). All I need to do is flash that one right?

Yeah, flash it the same way you did the other kernel and rom. When you restart, there will be a voice giving an approx. time to convert the partitions to the new file system. It will hold on the Samsung logo while doing the conversion and then go to the boot animation when done. I think the time to convert is anywhere from 5-10 minutes, depending on how much data you have. Disabling voodoo will take a few minutes longer and has the same voice time estimates.

Alright. I might just do this right now then.

Voodoo took about 5 minutes to get to a fully usable phone. Thank you very much! My phone feels brand new and ultra fast

i just installed dl09, and flashed the right rom. I restarted and am wondering how long it takes to load the rom. I did not flash the kernel right away. I was going to do that after the rom. So far I only have a black screen about 3 minutes in. Whats the deal?

You need to flash the kernel too
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.

just restarted flashed rom and then kernel both. black screen with bottom buttons all lit up for about 20 minutes now. help.

What rom and kernel did you flash? And you flashed the modem in the pda section of odin?
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.

yes i used the pda section and it passed just fine. i then unplugged phone, put batt back in. started phone back up and used rom manager to get to recovery. at first i just flashed blackhole 3.0 rom but i had his kernel and several components downloaded. i was paranoid so i flashed rom then reboot. black screen after samsung for a long time. i then reflashed rom w/ kernel. still got hung. then i went back and flashed everything i had dl including boot animation, digital clock, everything along with rom and kernel again. this time got to blackhole boot animation then has been stuck on that screen for about 40 min. it is the boot with the galaxy and stars with a small android robot in the lower right corner. thinking of doing the odin d101 package. wont that return me to stock. i don't want to but any suggestions.

[INFO] Reduce / Eliminate FCs (and perhaps reboots)

For those of you who are having FC's or reboot problems, I recommend trying this (on all roms):
clear cache / DC 3x
flash the rom form the sd card
immediately flash the rom again
Do all of this without rebooting. What ive noticed a LOT is that I often get curious issues with roms, and then I flash them again and dont get those issues anymore (--or, I get a different set of curious issues). Since i do everything else the same, it seems that it must have been the flash that was problematic. just as we have grown accustomed to wipe data multiple times to ensure a successful clear, we should also become accustomed to flashing (especially for larger files more prone to exhibiting problems) multiple times to ensure a clean and successful write.
I know there was a GB ram leakage problem with EG22/EH06 which was causing reboots, but even with these roms you shouldnt be experiencing FC's right out of the box. A lot of people have claimed to run EH17 without any reboots (or FCs) so you too should be able to experience it. Good luck all.
PS - If you have Journaling OFF, make sure your phone doesn't die due to lack of power! Keep it charged. Four times so far I've been thrown into the chaos of "The application Google services Framework has stopped unexpectedly," due to letting un-journaled phones die. Now, I just keep it on for data safety / integrity.

First. Good tip.
you'll probably get flamed for posting this in development though.

thank god lol

I brought the lighters, let's getm,,,,, oh, well damn, good tip man.

You know I have never had to flash anything twice and things go pretty well with my flashes for the most part but I do one thing that isn't usually mentioned. After I do all the wipes 3x (data cache dalvik) I go into mounts and storage and I format data cache and system. The data and cache obviously have already been formatted but none of the wipes ever touch system. The ROM script must do that I guess, but I figure why not play it safe and personally clean all the file systems... Works for me.

thanx for the tip man.....will try next time I flash a new ROM

this is what i did after seeingit in a post and mines is runnign goood so far ...question how do u know if journaling is on or off

great tip.. im about to try it RIGHT NOW.. I have wiped and reinstalled roms for the past 2 days now.. because I keep getting reboots and force closes.. even before I try to install any new apps.. im now on a rooted stock deodexed EG22.. that I just flashed about 2 hours ago.. I will now try a custom rom and fash twice and see how it works out for me..

This sounded interesting so I broke my vow not to flash gingerbread again until it was released. I decided to do everything differently than I had in all the previous installs and follow the OPs directions. I'm running EC05 rooted with CWM, so I downloaded the stock odex EH17 zip, followed the clearing suggestions in this post, and flashed EH17 in CWM. Flashed it twice as suggested. Flashed SU, and rebooted.
Long story short, after about 90 minutes it rebooted on its own.
Glad I made a nandroid backup before I started this, because I'm back on stock EC05 rooted again.

all gb roms will have fc's; this is just a procedure to make sure that the fc's you Do experience are caused by errors in the rom's programming as opposed to flashing errors =]
i too am on rking's ec05

I can also assure everyone, turning your head to the right, while flashing, improves the data connection speeds with any GB modem.

I had great success with EH17 using the Tegrak config along with the EH17Plus Kernel. Also, I found that the only time I did get a reboot was when I was using the hotspot or wireless tether. But it only happened when the phone got hot and was NOT on the charger. No reboots at all when tethering if I had the phone plugged into the charger, or during any other usage. I recently went back to EC05 to use the SRF1.2 ROM. EH17's modem was a lot faster too, imo. Going back when more ROMs become available.
Also, I tried Hurricane but got fc's. I'll try it again with the doube flash. I liked it otherwise. Now that I think about it, I was flashing modems and started getting fc's on SRF1.2. But none after I flashed it again (double). So this may be the trick if you're having fc's.

is there a way to manually download el30- sprint?

OK, a long time ago, I did a manual update on my EPIC 4g (sprint). I am thinking that is why I am unable to download the update through the setting tab a week after the update came out. I know everyone has it now. I have no idea what update I did on my phone last year... but I havnt been able to get firmware updates from sprint since them. I'd kinda like to have this one.
Does anyone know of a link that has this update, I can load to my SD card and execute on the phone? I just want to be able to reboot to the new ROM, I dont want to have to hook up to a PC and load it that way. I need a rookie, easy way to do this.
Thanks!!!

You most likely have either rooted or removed at least 1 pre-installed application. That would cause the EL30 update not to install. You can find the .zip file in both the General and Development forums.
If you have rooted or removed any pre-installed apps, then the stock .zip file won't install for you. You would need to make sure you're on a custom kernel for your current build (most likely EC05 or EI22), get CWM 5 installed and then install one of the near stock roms in the Dev forum.

Yea, it was so long ago, I dont know if it is rooted or not? I have been away from this stuff for quite a while and have completely lost touch. CW5? is that an app that I can install directly from the SD card? Also, does the dev forum have ROM's that I can install from SD as well? - sorry for all the questions!

Go to your Settings > About Phone to see what your baseband, kernel and OS build are.
Yes the dev forum has kernels and roms available for you to flash. Google search "QBKing77 youtube channel" to get how-to videos for doing everything.
Baseband = your modem version. This is completely independent of your kernel and OS and can be a different version from those two.
Kernel & OS build = these must match in build #. Example would be EC05, EI22 and EL30. Some custom kernel's do not include the build # on the About Phone screen, but stock would.
CWM = ClockworkMod Recovery. This is a custom recovery tool that allows you to flash custom roms, kernels, mods and themes.
Easiest way to see if you're rooted is to look for the application Superuser in your application list. If it's there, then you're most likely rooted.

is there a way to unroot this handset and allow the sprint update to come thru? If not, what is the name of a good (stock) gingerbread ROM? There are a ton of them over on the dev side and honestly I dont want to mess with he clockwork stuff. Im kinda pinched for time.
I did find the CWM5 zip - i assume i can run that directly from the SD card, then apply the new ROM.

no superuser... know that I think back, I dont think I did root it. But I dont know why else the carrier update wont work?

ok, I just looked @ the current version(s).
BASEBAND: d700.0.55.DK28
KERNAL:2.6.32.9
BUILD: FROYO.DK28
so, what is going to be the easiest way to get this to EL30?
I am almost done bothering you guys - I promise!

Been looking around, havent seen ANYTHING related to our 970x drop except an updated aospa on sxtpdevelopers.com. Soon as my s4 gets delivered (wife has to send it overseas to me since I'm deployed) I'll be building some samsung roms or attempting to port some nice premades like darthstalker. Its been a few years since I've done any rom modding but I doubt a lot has changed. What were you looking for in a rom? an AOSP based one or sammy based or something else?

So guys. I'm running into a problem where CWM doesn't recognize my 64GB sd card. I need it to in order to make a full backup of my phone before I start tinkering. Any help?

well I'm running a 32 gig, and cwm is working fine with it. Maybe thats the limit? Try reformatting the card in android storage to see if it makes a difference? you may need to partition the card into two separate 32 gb areas for recognition

sweet, thanks! I was considering modding a rom with sammy base, but when I started going through the aroma section of the zip, I became dumbfounded as I realized there's a LOT more modding that would be necessary to add in and correct that rom for cspire

I haven't had the chance to find a card reader to try to split it into two 32gb but I did reformat it using the phones formatting tool. It seems like people had a similar problem with the S3.
The card is a SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSD XC class 10.

So I found a solution. I installed busybox, then I installed aParted. This allowed me to reformat my card to FAT32, it was apparently in exfat. Now CWM recognizes the file and will backup to external SD. Now that this hurdle is over. Time to start tinkering. I'm no good at building roms, but i'm more than happy to run one of yours and report bugs if that helps. just let me know.
