Any brave volunteers?

I have built a Froyo ROM from source. I got the Captivate vendor files from Krylon360 over at Cyanogen, updated them, and built a ROM. I was able to get the leaked Froyo Captivate system.img and extract it so I could get the files required for our device. The ROM build cleanly and I was able to restore it to my device but since I have an Eclair kernel it will not boot. I actually read later in a forum that an Eclair kernel won't boot a Froyo system.
Anyway, I am looking for anyone who has a Captivate with the leaked Froyo build installed to try and restore my ROM. It will not brick your phone, I promise. I took a Nandroid backup before restoring and when I saw why it wasn't booting in logcat I booted into recovery and restored my last backup.
I just want to see if this guy will boot properly with a Froyo kernel and also see if I have all the device drivers working, etc.
Thanks!

Just replied to your other post Let's do this!

Sounds pretty awesome, but why didn't you just flash a Froyo kernel on your phone? Upload it and post up a link so we can see what you have.

He's not running windows and therefore can't use ODIN to swap kernels.

I was planning on flashing to Cog beta 8 today anyway.... I can give it a try.

Flashing requires Odin which requires Windows which I do not have.
I will post a dropbox link in a few minutes.
I built without kernel so if the ramdisk.img gives you grief, exclude it from the backup and also remove it from nandroid.md5.
In fact you should only need to restore system.img.

Just saw the above post...I'll be anxiously awaiting the link.

Thanks, guys. Remember, I am doing this for ALL OF US.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6995251/full_captivate.tgz
Like I said, you should only need system.img. So basically, edit nandroid.md5 and strip out the checksums for the other two files. Then copy nandroid.md5 and system.img to your recovery directory. Mine is /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.
Report back what you find.

If you have the sdk installed, please use adb logcat to get me any details. I am working with a couple of guys who work on both Cyanogen and Cognition to hash the details out. Like I said, I got all the hardware-specific files dialed in so we should be okay.

downloading now and will give it a shot..i have a test captivate so I dont mind bricking it.

Thanks. I wanted to go the AOSP route because I think what happens is.. People are modding the factory carrier images but you don't always know what's in there and can end up with crap you don't need. Plus, this is the latest 2.2.1 from AOSP.

Restoring it now...

You can swap kernels using redbend if you have 2e recovery (which he should considering that he is on Eclair). You can also flash using the open source alternative to Odin that is available here.

Any screenshots?
What are the specs of this Rom? Is it completely AOSP?

Heimdall is it's name. I can attest for it's stability. I've used it quite a few times on Archlinux when I didn't feel like booting into Windows. One note is you always need to give it a PIT file.

you want this loaded thru ODIN?

I'm getting MD5 mismatch... looking into it.

Need Help Please

First off I'm pretty new to this. I followed the instructions flashing my stock DI18 to DK28. It works just fine no problems. I want to be able to flash back to DI18. How do I do this. Without using Odin. Is there a way just to download a DI18.zip and install it into the root of my sd card power,volume down and camera button flash it? Someone please help.
Thanks
Tom

Here go Here next time search for stock d118 in the development section the wiki helps alot too.

I think if you just rename the zip file to update.zip and put it into the root of your sd card you should be able to flash not rooted in stock recovery.

I have the file, yes, but I am in one of my courses and do not have my cable with me to test this. I'll be home in a few hours and I'll update with whether or not it worked. I really like the update but I just cannot stand the rotation issue. It is constantly switching orientations on me and it is near impossible to get it righted again.

1. Do the one click root/clockwork/etc Here
2. Then Flash the zip file Here
3. Then flash the get rid of clockwork zip Here
4. Your are back to stock without using odin yay!!!

[REQ] 2.3.3 Baseband in an update.zip

I think this would be a very useful file, because I know a lot of people are hesistant to update to 2.3.3 because of the removal of Facebook sync, but are still having issues with reception, reboots, etc. If the fixes are present in the baseband, it'd be great to be able to easily and safely update only the baseband, while staying on 2.3.2/CM7/custom ROM.
I'm not exactly sure of the feasibility on the Nexus S, but I know it was done before on the Droid when I owned that device.
According to Netarchy, the baseband update in the OTA is "patch-based", so it's not the full radio image, but rather changes to the existing one. So the full updated image would have to be created by applying these patches to the existing baseband. I'm not sure if that's possible to do off of the device, or if it needs to be extracted off a 2.3.3 device.
Anyways, I'm just putting in this request/suggestion. Please let me know what you guys think. Maybe if there's enough demand for it, a dev would undertake this

I like this idea.

It's risky, because it's not tested yet. I think it would work, but I have little experience with Android development.
The ROM is (I think) divided into several sections, like recovery, system, boot, and radio, so flashing just the radio should not mess up anything else.

I didn't end up trying that update file posted above, as I found another method to get the 2.3.3 baseband. I've written up a little guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971239
It does require fastboot, but will surely work.

[ROM]I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Optional Fugu Root

I take no responsibility if your phone becomes a brick. You should be fully aware of all risks associated with flashing a rom with bootloaders prior to flashing this.
If you are currently using a lagfix you should convert back to rfs prior to flashing just to be safe.
Happy Flashing!

After using Odin 1 Click or flashing the rom from another thread you can root using the method below.
Root method:
1. Extract and open Odin3 v1.81.zip and place the zImage-root.tar file in the pda slot.
2. Connect your phone to your PC.
3. Put your phone into download mode (Same as eclair/froyo 3-button combo or adb reboot download)
4. Phone will boot and show the fugu fish.
5. Power off and put your phone into download mode.
6. Place the kernelKF1.tar file in the pda slot and hit start. Phone will reboot.
7. You are now rooted with Stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Netflix work with this. See attachments for latest Netflix.apk

Yes you can. Just remember you're flashing bootloaders so you run the risk of hard bricking your device.

It's the same risk thats envolved when using the odin 1-click to stock eclair. As long as your power doesn't go out or the mean magic mushroom people don't disconnect your phone in the middle of your phone flashing the bootloaders you'll be fine.

That was quick!
Wolf,
Nicely done sir, Fugu worked!

When I flash bootloaders, I use a laptop with a fully charged battery, and after I hit start I step at least 5ft away from it.

I actually did this when testing the 1-click. Flashed to eclair stock then used the GB 1-click and then rooted with the fugu kernel swap.

first of all, thank you wolf.
just a quick Q, based on your previous post, flashing back to JF6 is not required? i'm currently on S7, was wondering if i can flash your 1click on top of it. thanks

I have not tested flashing from one of the I9000 roms using this 1-click. This is a full wipe rom with bootloaders so it should work, but don't hold me to it. I would suggest flashing JF6 first just to be safe.

Full (not OTA) Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2

No one seems to show GEN2 any love. Its all GEN1 and CUS7. For those that want GEN2 (I live in US), well here you are. A full image for Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. This is not edited in any way. (This means not rooted). This is probably not going to be useful to the average person. For a modified (but rooted) ROM of this, look here
This is not OTA and can be used without ClockWorkMod (CWM) or any modifications of any kind.
Unzip Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip and place update.zip on the root of your SD card.
I should also mention this is Honeycomb 3.2 for those that don't keep track of the build numbers (and who can blame you?), and this DOES have a locked bootloader. But, nevertheless, and valid source for flashing and other things!

This is not rooted, it is also bootloader locked. I do not recommend this for you. Try another rom that is 3.2, there are plenty now!

Ty, been waiting for a GEN2 to add to my collection.

Thanks for the heads up. Im running Honeyvillain 1.2 but Im curious about the GEN2, as Im in the US as well. I dont know what the differences are, but so far its working smooth, smoother than any other ROM out there.

Yea I wouldn't worry 2 much about GEN2. If you have a choice, get GEN2. Otherwise it doesnt matter. The differences are mostly system files related to keyboards and databases and such from what I have dissected.
Like spelling color as colour and other oddities.

That problem can be solved by adding the line "ro.carrier=wifi-only" in the buildprop (you can do this with es file explorer or root explorer) and reboot.
