Stock I897UCKH3 with boog_kh3_kernel3, NO Bootloaders
INFO:
Stock i897uckh3 with the stock zImage removed and replaced with boog_kh3_kernel3 zImage. NO Bootloaders.
Credit and Thanks to boog for his awesome work on this kernel.--Thread on the Boog Kernel.
And a quote from boog's OP in said thread for permission to use his kernel-- "Anyone is available to use the kernel any way they like. Cook it in roms released here, flash it to your personal rom, or stock KH3! Take it apart, look at the pieces, see if you can make it better! I am far from a pro at this, and it may not be perfect, use at your own risk..yada yadda."
We also have PM'd back and forth a few times. And on a side note, boog also has made a Heimdall version of the stock kh3 with his kernel...see Here if you are interested in that option.
Credit and Thanks also to Samfirmware.com for their leaked release of the firmware.
And I need to give credit to malebornin69 for posting a question about this kind of mod being made... here. His question is what got me interested in making this Mod.
This One Click Odin should serve the purpose of getting you back to Stock KH3 with the bonus of having the boog kh3 kernel3 included, that has ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.1.5 built in. And in addition, no worries of flashing bootloaders because they are not included.
This does not wipe data/factory reset though. So you will have to either wipe data/factory reset prior to using this Odin or afterwards. If you do not then you will probably have issues once you flash your Dev Rom of choice. Also, I suggest that you wipe dalvik cache.
So, once you have used this One Click Odin and have wiped data/factory reset, wiped dalvik cache, then just reboot into the CWM Recovery via the button combo or adb reboot recovery and flash the Dev Rom of your choice. Or of course, you have the option of staying on the stock kh3 and using the CWM Recovery to flash mods, tweaks, modems, etc.
Note: This is a modified KH3 because in addition to the zImage that is changed, I also took the dbdata.rfs and the param.lfs files from the leaked KF1 .tar and moved them into this KH3 (these files were not in the leaked KH3 .tar file from samfirmware.com).
I did this just to make it a complete flash for those not coming from KF1 or KE3. Also, I have this set to re-partition. (the re-partition will not work without the dbdata.rfs file).
My tests of this included... Starting from stock kh3 with fuguroot and going to the stock kh3 with boog kernel through the one click odin I made, factory reset and wiped dalvik cache in CWM recovery, flashed Fusion V (this is a full wipe version too) with zero problems. Then repeated the process of going into CWM recovery and factory reseting and wiping dalvik cache and flashed Pinnacle 1.2 (not sure if this rom is a full wipe) and zero issues. Repeated the process and flashed the Victory 1.4 with zero problems as well. Repeated process and flashed the KH3 Project v1.0 rom with no problems. And finally, repeated the process in CWM recovery to factory reset and wipe dalvik cache, got into download mode and used this one click odin to get back to the Stock KH3 with the boogkernel3...and again, all good.

Good work bro!!
looking good! KH3 is quite the popular rom!
^ Yes, it is very popular these days. KH3 is very stable, with great battery life and the call quality is awesome. And as well, the Dev work with KH3, including yourself, is outstanding.
Thanks again for your Kernel work and for allowing me to use your kernel in this mod.

thanks for this. This is definitely helpful. Its good to see an odin package for this.
Thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for putting this together. KH3 has become my daily driver. It's probably the fastest, most stable thing I've put on my Captivate. Easy to root... easy to remove the AT&T bloat with TiBu. This thing just flies. Best battery live I've ever had, too. Great modem for both voice and data. Samsung really should get this pushed out.

Thanks! And your welcome, I only managed to do it with the help of people like existz, and xcal. I saw no one else releasing a cwm kernel, so I blundered my way through it lol
You guys wouldn't believe how many failed attempts I had, then had to do the fixes, and I still can't figure out the nandroid issues, I think that is in the source with differences in samsung gingerbread.
And I love the sharing that goes on here with the captivate. Other devices I have used, appeared to have secrets that no one would share. I am also thinking about writing up some sort of how to for taking the kernel apart and looking at the initramfs, and the associated scripts, and commands that can be used to find the differences in the files, and how to find what you need to change to make an injected cwm kernel, because the info is spread all over the internet, and not always in obvious spots because source availability is assumed most of the time. But, that may take me some time lol
And, I agree, so far kh3 is THE best rom for captivate, ever, and the reason for me even wanting to dig into the kernel.
And now back on topic. I will have to try this on my vm of windows at some point. But I have really fallen in love with heimdall, especially with all the flashing of kernels that I do. But more options like yours is always welcome in my book!
we are spanking yor DB accounts ass right now, said there is too much traffic.

Enabling tethering
Is there a simple way to enable tethering? I tried various cooked gingerbread roms and I see lagging performance especially opening the email. It takes about 3 to 5 seconds to see the email list once I click on email. Used the stock 2.3.4 KH3 and really like the stock ATT/Samsung email (social hub) that has number of unread emails on the icons. None of the cooked email does that. Main thing I wanted is enable tethering.

This is pure stock KH3, except for boog's kernel. The files I used to make this One Click Odin are the same files that are in the leaked KH3 from samfirmware.com
As for the tethering... the only two ways to do it on this stock kh3 is to either pay for it or use Titanium Backup and uninstall or delete the Tethering Manager. You have to be rooted of course with the Titanium Backup option.

I will reference your post in my post #2.
A friend of mine wants just stock 2.3.4 so is this automatically rooted, or does that have to be done afterwards?
Also, nice to see a stock KH3 and Boogs kernel all-in-one... makes it much faster and its really convenient. Thanks for making this.
^ This Mod is not rooted. I'm currently just running this Mod as is, but I did root through the FuguRoot method (quick and easy).
And I appreciate the feedback.
Related
First off, I would like to say I did NONE of the work of making these amazing mods for the Captivate or i9000. NONE. I just figured out a good order to make them work well with each other.
All thanks for the work goes to:
xcaliburinhand for the i9000 Reorient Kernel. Without this, it would not be possible to do this and have it work right.
Tayutama for his ROM. It is quite nice too look at, and works great.
DesignGears for the Odin One Click.
REAVER117 for posting the Bell Vibrant Modem.
All those thanked by the aforementioned. Without great people like these we would all be basically stuck with an iOS knockoff. (touchwiz)
DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR DATA. Titanium Backup will work as well if you do not mind losing settings and logs/SMS/MMS.
Tayutama's ROM, get the NON VOODOO version(very important)
xcaliburinhand's Reorient Kernel(I recommend the update.zip method)
Stock Captivate Kernel from Koush
Get the JM9 i9000 ROM from SamFirmware
Get the CSC file (OXA) from Here
And finally, Bell Vibrant Modem from REAVER117(Others may work, but I used this one and it DOES work)
Get the JG8 modem here: MultiUpload
I will upload a .zip I did over the weekend from home later, it has all necessary files.
Once you have these components and have backed up your Captivate, follow these steps and you should be up and running on JM8 with Tayutama's ROM and HSUPA.
1. Flash to stock with Odin One Click
2. Flash to JM9 PDA in Odin 1.0 or 1.3 (CSC optional, I do it to remove all traces of AT&T)
3. Flash v1.2 of the reorient kernel(Allows button press in recovery mode, stock captivate kernel should also work) in Odin v1.0 or 1.3
4. Flash JG8 modem in PHONE portion of Odin(can be done at same time as step 2 and 3)
4. Flash Tayutama Full, Lite, or Super Lite 1.2 update.zip, NOT THE VOODOO package through Clockwork mod recovery. Flash supplementals like stock lock after this step.
5. [OPTIONAL]Restore Nandroid backup(Data only though Advanced Restore or Titanium Backup(optional, nandroid restore CANNOT BE DONE AFTER VOODOO without disabling lagfix)
6. Flash Reorient kernel 1.3 with Voodoo and BLN through the ClockWorkMod update.zip method
7. Reboot and enjoy!

You should include that you need to actually download the JM8 firmware. I was following the directions and then realized that there was no link to JM8 itself haha I almost flashed Tayutama's ROM directly w/o going to JM8 first!
So what are the positives and negatives? Is it better or faster than Cognition?
Must have linked to one of the few threads I didn't post it in
Quick Question:
In the instructions you say to flash the Reorient Kernel 1.3 through update.zip method, so I am assuming that means in stock recovery. However, when I try to install via the stock recovery I get the "installation aborted" message. Can I install via Clockwork Mod Recovery?

Gonna be switching to windows and flashing this setup here real soon.
Ughh.... I know this was gone over before the site crash but I'll post my experience. I flashed this setup following the steps to a T but for some reason my Quadrant was lower and the phone seemed like it was running a little slow, checked my speed test and averaged about 400-500kb down and up, and my phone signal was shotty. So I flashed back to stock with Odin then flashed Cognition 2.1. As soon as I was done flashing I noticed I had no signal. This was sitting in the same spot where I normally have 4-5 bars. Now here's where my heart sunk. I came to XDA looking to find the fix cause I knew I had seen it somewhere on this thread.... and... site's down. My phone is a company phone so not being able to make or take calls puts a little damper on things. So I flashed stock about 4 more times and had the same result every time. Finally I gave up and tossed the phone on my counter. While making my daughter something to eat I just happened to look over at it and what do I see...? FULL BARS. Not sure if anyone cares or not but thought I'd tell my story. I don't know what caused it to stop working or what caused it to start working but that's my experience. Could just be me doing something wrong also.
Bah 24 hour forums data rollback =(
Glad it just randomly came to life for you though... we'll chalk this one up to a "samsung problem"
crap. where'd all the posts go?
I got mine to work after the forum went down. I did all the Odin flashes and then the 3 button flash worked for the rom.
Question though. If I use mods like the circle battery mod should I get the one from the captivate forum or the i9000 forum, or are they the same?

Going to give that a try
After running this command.
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.Preconfig/com.android.Preconfig.Preconfig
I have no XEU setting in there.
So right now i am stuck in KOR.
any fix for this?
I gave up on this. Just not working for me.
I have got CM7 to boot on my Captivate using some of the same methods used to boot the stock Gingerbread ROM. I have had a lot of questions about it, so I figured I would post what I did in one location and once I (and others) start to play more, findings can be posted here.
I take credit for nothing... All I did was switched around a couple files to boot CM7 instead of GB.
Requirements
You must be root on your phone
Your /data must be converted in Ext4 by Voodoo lagfix or another Ext4 lagfix.
You must have proceed to complete backups before
Some busybox installation is also useful for tar.
Another Important note
Be absolutely 100% sure you have access to the download mode using the 3 buttons combination.
If you don't, it will be extremely difficult (even if in theory not impossible) to to flash another kernel back.
Steps:
1: Download CM7 dump to SDCARD:
2: Run the following via ADB
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data
mkdir gingerbread
cd gingerbread
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/CM7.tar.gz
busybox cp -a /efs efs
sync
reboot recovery
3: Flash attached "I9020_reoriented_alpha_1223.zip" via CWM Recovery
Watch CyanogenMod 7 boot on your phone!
How do I get back?
This is a dual-boot setup... Everything is still intact that you were running before this.
All you have to do is download and flash your previous kernel via ODIN. Once you do this, the phone will reboot into Froyo. Simply reinstall the I9020_reoriented_alpha_1223.zip and your back on CM7 again, just like you left it. MAGIC!
What's about this port:
- It uses the Nexus S kernel compiled from sources by supercurio that has been reoriented for the Captivate by xcaliburinhand
- It runs the exact /system image release, that I pulled from a CM7 alpha .zip file posted in the NS forums.
Which filesystem?
This is simply a mod of supercurio's early gingerbread preview, so it runs on Ext4. no RFS at all, the kernel don't support RFS.
Does everything work ?
No; will update as I discover more of what does and doesn't work.
KEEP IN MIND
CyanogenMod ROMs do not come with any Gapps and using this method, you will not be able to access CWMrecovery to flash the Gapps files floating around. I hope to have an answer to getting Gapps installed with ease by late tonight.
For now; I'm going back to work,
Thanks for all the devs who did this hard work in such a short period of time... please donate to them. I have contributed nothing thus far!

More than likely... anything not working on Gingerbread won't be working here either... these ports are going to be using the same kernel, for now.

Pretty sure they moved to the nexus s kernel source and just bolting mods on now, breaking stuff on the way...
We have full source for the Nexus S, kinda confused as to why they are so bent on using AOSP and porting code over to make it the same kernel... seems like a lot of extra work for no reason to me.
Gapps
I'm testing a method I came up with to install gapps right now, it might take a while but hopefully it'll be quick and easy. I'll report back if/when I get results.
This dual boot thing is MADNESS!!! (In tone of 300) hahaha.... Gotta try this when I get home.!
My i897 just need VolUp+Pwr to enter Recovery mode,
and VolDn+Pwr to enter Download mode.
To get out of any trouble,
don't flash any bootloader, and exclude(delete) any bootloader inside any update(whatever).zip
Normally you don't need to flash or update bootloader.
However, if your phone lack of 3butt comb.,
flash a i9000 bootloader then you will have better access to Recovery and Download mode.
If anyone wanna try this NS rom,
be sure to make backup of /efs.
It store your imei, product code and all identification data,
and this partition use RFS which NS doesn't use.

Read the first post... It's all stated right there...
Working on it now... been fighting with an SMS problem for the last two hours; come to find out it's a network/carrier issue, not ROM related. Ugh...
Sorry guys, I searched all over and it seems that either all the methods are outdated (2010), or I'm getting different opinions on how to do this.
I'm helping my friend root his fascinate, which we have done, however he told me he tried flashing clockwork via Rom Manager. I looked it up and it doesn't appear that's the way to go. He has no familiarity with Odin, however I do.
Can someone post a nice guide on how to do this, I found one that's really good but it's missing an "update.zip" file
Thank you in advance.
Put the phone into download mode, and then use Odin to flash the CWM odin image using the PDA button. The guides from 2010 should be just as valid then as now. Also, don't bother with Rom Manager, it regularly doesn't support our phone. You also don't need an update.zip file necessarily.
Never use the Phone button in Odin!!!
Thank you sir, I imagined this is the way to go since that's what I have done with my Droid Charge.
Will I lose recovery after I odin, if I don't install a customer rom and kernel in time?
is the latest OTA update rootable?
You only need to replace the kernel. The stock Samsung kernel on any Froyo+ (and some Eclair, IIRC) roms will try to nuke CWM on boot up.
The common method is to pull the battery from the phone, be holding volume down (or was it up?) and plug it into the computer, and it should boot to the downloading screen. Odin the CWM image, and once it's totally done, unplug it. Then, holding both volume up and down, put the battery back in and press and hold the power button. Once you see the 'SAMSUNG' logo appear, you can release the keys, and it should take you to CWM. From there, you can flash a compatible kernel.
Just a heads up, any 'MTD' based ROM/kernel (MIUI, Cynanogen, AOSP) isn't compatible with stock roms/kernels. When you flash an MTD rom/kernel, it'll completely change the filesystems & layouts on your phone (making Vodoo lagfix redundant), and you can only get back by Odin w/ a few special images along with the Atlas .pit file.

Just went to the ED05 powerwashed version and its working well. Not a whole lot different than stock but at least its debloated and rooted. I had too many battery pulls when using evil fascination and Com rom (all versions). I'm still on the factory kernel because more people seem to be having issues with the PBJ kernal.

I didn't take the route initially because immediately after the kernal was linked in the powerwashed thread, there were like 4 posts of people getting Force Closes so I decided to wait a bit and see how it pans out (patience is a virtue). I've already downloaded the kernel, i'm just waiting. One thing i'm missing from the PW rom is getting rid of the battery popup. I'm scared to flash the mod because I beleive it was made for EB01.
PS i'm on PW v2

Just went to the ED05 powerwashed version and its working well. Not a whole lot different than stock but at least its debloated and rooted. I had too many battery pulls when using evil fascination and Com rom (all versions). I'm still on the factory kernel because more people seem to be having issues with the PBJ kernal.

I agree with ZankTank. This is a great ROM and I am also still on the stock kernel that was posted. My phone has never felt as smooth as with this ROM/kernel combination. Just installed the V2 version last night and it is working great and no missed calls.
--bill
the otb-fusion kernal and the pbj kernal both work great on powerwash! 90% of peoples problems are user error.
One of the reasons I moved away from stock or stock-ish roms was the battery popup that came with Froyo. Well I've just flashed the zip to remove this "originally intended for EB01 as I mentioned above and there's no popup and I haven't had any FC's or issues as of yet. Granted i've only been using it an hour. I'll update after more use.

Follow Steps at own Risk
MIUI or CM7 Installation:
1.) Depending on what you want to install, download either the I9000 Miui 1.11.11 Rom or the CM 7.1 Stable Rom.
2.) Download the Glitch-V13-DEV-TelusFascinate+ kernel. I chose the Medium Leakage Kernel.
3.) Move both ZIP (ROM and Kernel) files over to the Root of your Internal SD Card (USB, Bluetooth, etc)
4.) Make sure you DISABLE all Lagfixs if you have it enabled.
IMPORTANT:
Froyo 2.2.x (Not Tested):
We need to be able to boot into CWM. Easiest way to do this if you are on Froyo is to Flash the SpeedMod kernel or the Voodoo Kernel. I suggest following all steps which includes installing Darky 9.2 just to be sure. I haven't tried flashing Miui or CM7 from right from the SpeedMod CWM.
Gingerbread 2.3.x (Tested):
If you running a custom ROM that is based off Gingerbread you will be required to flash the Darky Resurrection Edition 9.2 (Froyo) via Odin. This is to insure that the proper boot loaders updated before installing MIUI or CM7. Download the Darky 9.2 package from the above URL, the ONLY files that we need from here are: Odin3 v1.3.exe, darky_odin.tar.md5 & s1_odin_20100512.pit​
Follow Ficeto's Instructions below to flash Darky 9.2 and remember to backup all your stuff before starting.
-------------------------------------
5.) Next step is to get your phone into Download Mode. If you are unsure please search the forums here.
6.) Now, open ODIN and connect the phone to the computer. ODIN will say 'Added'.
7.) Tick the 'Repartition' option, and then select the following files in ODIN (from the folder you extracted the base package in):
[*]PDA: darky_odin.tar.md5
[*]PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
8.) Press the Start button and wait for it to finish. Once it finishes, disconnect the phone from the computer after the phone reboots.
9.) After ODIN completes procedure and the phone reboots, a screen will come on the phone with 'Android system recovery <2e>' written at the top, and the following text will be written at the bottom:
"E:Invalid command argument
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Muti CSC...
Installing Muti CSC"
Don't worry about this.
10.) From here the next step is to reboot your phone, your POWER / SELECT button will not work so you will have to pull the battery out. Once you put the battery back in and start up the phone, it should automatically boot into CWM Recovery.
-------------------------------------
11.) Next we want to do a COMPLETE WIPE (Factory), also deleting Partition Cache and the Delvik Cache.
12.) Once the phone has been cleansed, you want to make your way to the option "Select ZIP from SD Card" and select the ROM zip file located on the SD Card. Start the Installation.
NOTE: Once you start the installation, your phone will reboot part way through, then will continue the rest of the installation. The total time for this installation could take up to 10 minutes, so please be patient and do not touch the phone!
13.) DONE!! You have now successfully Flashed either Miui or CM7 on your Fascinate!.
14.) Actually, one more Step which I have ONLY tested with Miui 1.11.11:
Once you have checked a few things out, we are going to want to Flash the Glitch-V13-DEV-TelusFascinate+ kernel. So boot back into CWM Recovery and Flash it the same way you flashed the ROM.
Optional:
BASEBAND UPDATE:
I would also suggest Flashing the I9000UGJK3 Baseband or another of your liking because I had crappy cell signal with the Stock Miui Baseband. Just download it as you normally would, move the ZIP to the internal SD Card, boot into CMW recovery and flash it. Click on the Link Here and find the modem that you would like to flash.
4WAYREBOOT MOD:
I think this Mod is a MUST for anyone running Miui, it completes it!! It basically adds the additional reboot options like Recovery, Hotboot, etc. to the 'reboot' list when going to reboot the phone. Install the ZIP the same way as usual, through CWM recovery. Download the 4-Way Reboot Mod Here.
ENJOY!!!!
I will add to this post with some additional and helpful information.
Other helpful information:
- With Miui or CM7, you will want to install the ROM Manager Application. It contains a bunch of additional downloads and is a must when using Miui or CM7.
- Please do NOT USE 'ROM manager' Backup option to create a nandroid. To create a backup, boot into CWM recovery normally via ROM manager or if you have the 4-Way Reboot mod installed. Just don't use the 'Backup option' in ROM Manager
- I haven't tried Launcher Pro yet, I've actually stuck with the Stock Launcher that Miui comes with, Launcher2.apk
thanks so much! save me tinkering time
Thanks! On my to do!
EDIT - thinking about this on the way into work. Should we include a step (if the complete wipe doesn't do it) to wipe the battery stats? Could be done in CWM after flashing the ROM, or through an app like battery calibration on boot up. Also, we should note on the coming from froyo that you only need speed kernel if you do not have an option to get CWM. When I ran froyo I had a voodoo kernel so could get to CWM that way.
Also, is miui EXT4 out of the box (no need for a lagfix)? Given its next to latest GB I'm assuming it is
Just some thoughts - hoping to do this tonight, but one quick question for the group - flashing - so do you all make sure you have a full battery before you flash? I've not always done that in the past, but believe its a best practice.
NEW EDIT - almost forgot, great work as always Adam!

It definitely is good practice to Flash a new ROM when the battery is almost 100% full. Now saying that, I have flashed ROMS when my battery has been as low as 40% - 45% and never had any issues.
I think that's the best comment Adam - why apply a lagfix if one is not needed!
Cannot wait to give this a run - hoping tonight assuming my little ones all go to bed, and my wife does not get too annoyed with me
[MIUI Themes and Lock Screens]
The Miui Rom is very customizable when it comes to themes and lock screens.
The Miui 'Themes' application allows you to download, install, customize and apply all different types of themes. Which I would have to say that there are at least a good 100 + or more themes out there at the moment.
I think the best feature that the 'Themes' app has to offer is that you have the option to apply different theme components to the current base theme that you have it set to!
As an example, I currently have one of the 'Honeycomb' themes applied as my base theme, my Lockscreen is based off the 'Slide Slip' theme, my Icon Set is based off the 'Seemless Dark Blue' theme and my Dialer is also based off the 'Seemless Dark Blue' theme. It feels like the possibilities are endless now when it comes to customization.
To see the different components the way the themes are broken down, choose 'Edit Theme' from within the 'Themes' app. Within here you can then assign other theme components as long as you with have the full theme installed or just that one component.
Installation of .mtz files, (Full Themes / Theme components)
Once you have downloaded a compatible Miui theme (.mtz format), copy that file to the following directory on your phone:
/sdcard/MIUI/theme
(You can also import themes from the themes application itself, all that does it move it to that directory for you)
Then open up the 'Themes' app and your new theme will be in the list.
NOTE:
If its a theme component only (Still .mtz format) , eg. Lock Screen component, it WILL NOT show up in your main Theme list. Just click on 'Edit Theme' and it should show up under the drop down for 'Lockscreen Style'. Get what i mean?
For Miui Lockscreens, check out the link below!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288096
For full Miui themes, check out the link below:

Also, the Theme app has an Online library that you can search through as well

EDIT flashing in process - factory reset at the moment
Awesome! Thanks for creating this. Just gotta wait until the weekend to take the plunge. It's not the flashing taking too long that I worry about, but the time I spend restoring apps and settings and just playing around in general. Not to mention having time to start over if I feel something went wrong. Two more days to go!
guessing it shouldn't boot loop - I'm stuck in a boot loop
looks like it cannot find the SD card - so keep restarting looking for the miui zip - the CWM error is quick before it restarts (can't see it)
EDIT : re-downloaded the zip but same effect. Anyone hit this before with cm7 or miui? trying a few things before I attempt a restore.
I get to 'checking bml' before it reboots, and then it boot loops continuously - I tried flashing and not flashing the glitch kernel first, but nothing sticks.
EDIT : giving up, attempting a restore of my nandroid I made before I started. Any tips let me know - disappointed.
EDIT : still up, backup didn't go so well - likely cause I have odd kernels - one last ditch - went right back to froyo stock, tried speedmod (bootloop), now put on 9.2, rebooting - may give it one more shot before giving up for the night.
EDIT - SON OF A ***** - that did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might have to provide some troubleshooting tips on that one!!!!!!!!
EDIT AGAIN - knock on wood here - I'm farther than the bootloop and I'm at a MIUI splash screen - that might be as far as I go tonight ... LOL
FINAL EDIT - so not much playing tonight. Ate into that with all this trouble shooting.
SO IF YOU ARE COMING FROM A GB ROM AND GET STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP - I would go to STOCK FROYO and then flash 9.2 and then follow the instructions. Bang on job Adam! I think I just had something odd on my phone.
I'm now up - gltich on + miui.
Wow, sorry you had such a hard time man. Only time I hit a hard bootloop was when trying to install CM7 using gingerbread bootloaders. Did you eventually get it going??

yeah, see my last edits - putting on 9.2 I'm guessing didn't completely adjust the bootloaders - when I put on stock telus 2.1, THEN 9.2 - I was golden.
Didn't play much (that was after 12) but restored a few apps - but man, it is really fast. Will report some thoughts over the weekend likely.
Questions on MIUI
OK a few questions.
- downloaded google maps (navigation, etc). Start it up, but it fails miserably - bombs out and goes into a constant vibration. ANyone having similar issues with that? Suggestions?
- There's a 6 digit number in the left corner of my screen - no meaning to me - anyone know what that is or seeing something similar?
- also, pinch and zoom with the camera. Those don't seem to work - any issues you folks having with that?
- Adam you suggest a different base band - where are you getting zip - I'm only finding large tars on that link (but I"m over tired)
- The OTA updater looks great BUT is in chinese - any one have a work around for that?
Again, sorry about all the issues you had with installing and such. My very first time

That is your Service Provider. With CM7 and Miui, I noticed it doesn't resolve the provider. Its no harm unless you don't like looking at numbers there. I did find a work around though, just install the Miui Extended Menu Mod and you can change it to what ever you want:

Oh, don't use the OTA updater, just use ROM Manager. Or download the Miui updater app from the market.
I'm guessing MIUI originally was developed in China, lol

OK - maybe I should reflash. I actually have ROM Mgr premium - but its telling me I need CWM installed to work (which I obviously have).
And no apologies needed - we're all guinea pigs here
EDIT - Also, on the camera - used to be able to pinch like a website on Darky's to zoom in and out. Maybe that was a custom camera but I think it was generally samsung stock.
EDIT - Reflashed (1.11.18 actually - am I the first ) and GPS issue solved - might have been tied to the modem as I flashed yours Adam (THANK YOU!!!!!!) Keeping moving forward

Might be the best thing to do. I've read that some people prefer to >> Flash the ROM first >> Flash Kernel >> Boot into Kernel CWM >> Re-Flash ROM again.
Yeah, if you do there is no need for the Darky steps anymore.
Just boot into CWM, do factory wipe, partition and dalvik cache, fix permissions, then flash miui again.
Oh, in regards to ROM Manager and CWM, just select 'Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery' >> Select I9000 (MTA) and choose version 3.
Then reboot into recovery to test.
It actually still uses the Glitch CWM from the Kernel. This is just so that ROM Manager will recognize that you have a selected CWM
Looks like Miui 1.11.18 is now out. I'm going to Flash and test it out shortly.

when you get 1.11.18, go to ROM manager and select update ROM - does nothing happen? I have it registered now with a CWM which is fine, it shows my current version (which is latest) so when I click check for udpates nothing happens (no - 'no update available' or anything like that). Just wanted to see if it was working correctly.
Can someone please explain to me how to go from Bionix 1.3.1 to ICS? I have read a lot (perhaps too much) about GB bootloaders, etc. but am not sure what is required.
Do I need to have a GB ROM installed before going to ICS?
I have also seen guides for going from 2.1 to ICS, but that is not my situation.
I guess my main area of ignorance is that I have never flashed any bootloader of any kind.
If I go to ICS and want to restore my Froyo backup do I need to flash a bootloader before I do that?
Obviously I'm confused about the whole process.
Thanks for any clarification you can give me.
See my guide to go from 2.1 to ICS and one if the top lines tells you how to go from Froyo to ICS.
GB bootloaders are no longer needed but suggested. Probably the only scary part of the whole process, but it is actually the easiest.
CM7 needed before ICS or not?
From a post in the same thread as your guide:
"
If you want a stable 2.2 try Toxic8 (I run this with Gingerbread theme as my "home" ROM when I am not testing), Deranged9, Bionix (no longer supported) and Bionix Fishman's version (this is supported), Bi-winning. All you have to do to flash these is follow the instructions above and when it comes time to flashCM7, skip it and flash the ROM of your choice."
Does this mean that if I have Bionix already that I don't need to go to CM7 before ICS?
There are a couple of ICS Roms where you can come from froyo. You have to probably flash it twice to get into the specific cwm.
To get back to you bionix, you have to use Odin to get back to stock.

This is from a different thread in a different context. Someone was asking how to flash a custom ROM, IIRC.
If you want ICS, you have to flash CM7 first, let it bootloop, pull the battery, reflash and then once it settles, flash ICS.
Also, don't apologize for being detailed or thinking that you are reading into too much, Wished more were like this.
From the Guide
This is for a clean install. You can also install straight from Froyo. Just start at the CM7 part below and skip the Odin portion.

so any luck with getting to ICS from bionix 1.3.1...cause im still in the same spot...and im very wary as to what to do as well...so if any luck...please let me what you did...
I just did it
If you follow the instructions in the Passion ICS thread it's pretty straightforward. I had never used Odin before even though I had flashed Bionix almost a year ago. I'm not a phone guru, just somebody who likes to mess with these custom ROMs.
These steps are high level, you can find specific links in numerous places.
Here's what I did:
- Download Odin
- Download the required files to flash the phone back to stock 2.1 (.pit file and .tar file)
- Backup apps with Titanium (don't bother backing up the system it's different in newer versions anyway and all you'll have is trouble if you try to restore system settings)
- Backup anything else you feel is important on your internal and external SD cards
- Use Odin to flash the phone back to stock
- Root the phone (using the update.zip technique)
- Install clockwork recovery (I found an update.zip for this too)
- Flash the Cyanogenmod version of ICS (no longer under development but you need it for the boot loaders). You will likely encounter a boot loop in this process. Don't panic, just pull the battery once it loops a few times. Boot back into recovery and flash again.
- From this point you can now flash ICS using clockwork, following this you can restore your apps with Titanium if desired
ICS totally rocks by the way. I've been using Passion v13 RC1 for a week now. Tried the newest one Euphoria but it didn't work out for me.
I have to admit that I never tried ICS. I have been using an ICS theme for a long time so my phone looks like it has ICS on it. I was also leary of the mute/unmute problem I had read about and wasn't sure about how well good GPS was.
I've been testing out the ICS that is to become CM9 with the latest build being 16 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503038
It's really stable... granted not everything is implemented such as a number of the settings screens. But I was on CM7 when I installed it so I was able to just flash it direct.

This method works great! I used this last week and had some trouble with boot loops. But nothing that can't be fix with removing the battery. I suggest finding the youtube video that is on the ICS Passion thread. The person does it on real time, so you can follow along as you do it.
I love ICS passion. It is as smooth or even smoother than Bionix.

No need to have GB boots and if you want to go back,odin to stock to reflash Bionix and then your nandroid.
This is a great ICS rom and I'm a huge Bionix fan,with a 1.3.1 and 1.3.1 Fishman final nandroid backup.
I flashed Passion ICS rc13 on 2 Vibrants, one from Bionix 1.3.1 and another from trigger 2.2 and skipped some steps (like GB bootloader) and they are working just fine.
My steps:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Flash CM GB.
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Flash Neobuddy ICS
5. Flash kernel.
6. Let the phone boot, sign up and do its setup.
All in all, took maybe 30 minutes first phone and 20 min second phone once I got more comfortable.
bionix 1.31 striaight to CM7 then on to ICS?
Do you have to go back to stock? Why couldn't you just flash to CM7 then go on to ICS? I am on Bionix 1.31 and this process just seems easier.

I think mute/unmute is hit or miss. But if you are worried about or need GPS, dont flash an ICS rom.
Also, when upgrading fro 2.2 -> 4.0, take out your external sd card prior to that! It might cause a bootloop when flashing the initial CM7 rom. I happened to me and also other people on youtube (where I found out, was the source of the problem)

Do you have to go back to stock? Why couldn't you just flash to CM7 then go on to ICS? I am on Bionix 1.31 and this process just seems easier.

Yep you can, just make sure you make a back up and clear all data

It's mainly to get rid of any ghosts left from other roms to avoid any bugs not caused from the rom you install and avoid giving a rom a bad review without giving it a clean canvas to start with.
