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.

[STOCK ROM] [ODIN & CWM] i896 Rogers Captivate Official 2.2

Here is the Rogers 2.2 Froyo i896 Update.. Use at own risk. Im not responsible what you do with it.. Enjoy..
Odin Flashable:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LRH9TZTF
MD5: f6005f02714e395c79baac3f38f4b77d
Clockwork Recovery Flashable: (To be applied from Stock 2.1) To avoid problems restore to stock.

Kernel/Modem:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P1ZU4HLD
Update:
I created a CWM Flashable ROM. Plain stock with Root. This is my first time packing a rom. I tested it and it flashed ok from 2.1 and works on my device just fine. If you don't like it or it doesn't work for you don't blame me, you knew the risk. Post your success.
BTW: you will loose Clockwork recovery and will be replaced with Stock 3e Recovery.
Clockwork Recovery can be restored via this thread tested and it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213

Have you tried it yourself?

Not to be flashed through recovery its the files Kies downloads to update the device. I personally did my update through Kies.

Excellent I will pull the files from system, the kernel, and modem, customize it a bit, and make an update.zip and flash this to my captivate....assuming AT&TS version is still a long way away.

I would be leary of that. Modem " might " work. Kernel could make for a fun ride though.with i9000 roms that is.

Can this be flashed with Odin? I have a Rogers Captivate but Kies can't see upgrades for my phone. I edited the nv_data.bin file and sgstools shows the proper product code but still no luck.
Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Wow this is bullcrap. They get 2.2 before the AT&T Captivate. :/

1. Modem will work
2. I just need I896 Froyo Kernel and I896 Froyo modem to test, how well it performs with my I897.

So what does that mean? You have newer 2.2's for Captivate?
I know they released one for the Armani Captivate, is that what you are referring to?
Sorry just curious.

Steps for install
Any change someone could provide a quick run-down of how to install.
Which verison of Odin to use and which options inside of Odin to select?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Stock DK28 to Bonsai 4.0.0 - do I have this order correct?

Hey everyone, I'm finally switching to a custom rom today after months of putting it off for various reasons. Before I start I want to check one last time I have the order correct:
(I've already installed the Samsung drivers on my PC)
1. Flash EC05 modem with Odin (turn on USB debugging and put phone in download mode)
2. Put the rom .zip file on root of sdcard
3. Install 1 click root/recover with CWM3 (not sure if I need to use .5 or .6 - do I want the newer one since I'm going to a new rom, or the old one since the phone is on DK28 now?)
4. Flash rom from CWM
5. Enjoy
Do I have all that right?
Also this method will leave my contacts/data/apps intact, right? (I have them all backed up anyway, but I'd rather not have to restore them manually)
Thanks in advance!

bump - anyone??

Mammon has started another website and forum to deal with Bonsai questions.

So is all Bonsai discussion banned on XDA till they (hopefully) work things out and get rid of the membership thing?

You can also use this to skip some steps : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
But thats the right order and if u use my above method you need to flash the ec05 modem after it then flash new bonsai

Your free to talk about anything Bonsai you want to. They just can't post a link to their website unless they become compliant with Rule 11.
Make sure you use CWM 3.0.6 and you be a lot happier. If your looking for direct developer support you will have to go to their website.

[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

The reason I asked the question is some new folks might see your post and follow the directions without flashing the ROM first. Might want to put something in the OP stating people must be on stock KF1.

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.

[Stock] [UCKF1][06/29/11] UCKF1 No Bootloaders! 1 click or Full Odin Back To Stock GB

I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, computer, home, girlfriend or family pet. By using this, you release the creator from any liability. ​
I would like to thank icezar1 for his help with this project. I could not have done this without him.
I decided to start this thread because I saw several roms saying "flash back to stock Gingerbread", but they usually involved bootloaders, increasing your chance of bricking your phone. I searched and the closest thing I found to a safer way was a group of stock I9000 roms, but they were deodexed and zip aligned. Since we are using Captivates, I really wanted something designed for our phones, so I made this.
This is stock UCKF1, without bootloaders or a pit. I repackaged the rom (minus bootloaders/pit) into 1 file. The original firmware was downloaded from samfirmware.com. Also, I have tested this on my (only) phone, and it works.
The 3 file version was also downloaded from samfirmware.com. It is the exact same as stock, but it doesn't have bootloaders or a pit. I also tested this package on my (only) phone, and it works.
You will need 7zip to unpack the file. If you need 7zip, you can get it here.
If you haven't already upgraded to the new I897 Gingerbread bootloaders, you can get those >>HERE<<.
Stock UCKF1 No Bootloaders
Odin 3 File No Bootloaders
In the past, some phones have not responded well to 1 click flashes. If your phone is one of those, please don't use this. Use the 3 File version for Odin 1.8x.
Please make sure that your usb cable is plugged into a port in the back of the computer (#1 port on a laptop).
You will lose root by flashing this.
You will lose CWM by flashing this.
This is a wipe package, so don't forget to backup.
Instructions
0 Optional Reboot computer before beginning
0 Optional Convert to rfs (if on ext4)
0 Optional Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, clear Voltage Setting(if overclocked/undervolted), do a factory reset.
0 Optional Remove sim card and external sd
Download package
Extract with 7zip
Open One click or Odin 1.81
**place files in corresponding slots for odin 3 file only**
Put phone into DL mode
Check to see Odin recognizes phone (you will see the yellow box)
Click Start

very nice

thanks for doing this! This is very convenient!

I don't think there is a deodex/zipaligned KF1 out there yet. Some of the other folks in the stock thread (last i heard) were having problems with the deodexing. I really did this just as a flash to stock method before flashing a rom.

This is also a one click, but it doesn't have bootloaders (boot.bin and sbl.bin). Since bootloaders will cause a permanent brick, i thought it was kinda foolish to flash them just to return to stock before flashing a rom.

If i used the regular stock kf1 1click w/ bootloaders and then flashed cog5 and then used the regular stock kf1 1click w/ bootloaders to go back to stock kf1 would i brick? Since they are the same bootloader?

No, you wouldn't brick, unless something interrupts the bootloader flashing process.
The whole point of this 1-click with no bootloaders is to be able to flash to stock without running the risk of bricking your phone from a bad flash. There is no way to truly brick your phone with this 1-click since the bootloaders are never touched.
With that said, you should only use this 1-click if you have already flashed the KF1 bootloaders at least once before.

ok thanks i didnt think it would brick

No more flashing to Eclair for a fresh start. I like it.

Thanks. I've been thinking about doing a 3 file one for odin, too. Some people have phones that don't like one clicks.

And some of us prefer to use heimdall, so 3 file would be great.
