How To Get CM7 Running On Captivate [Fairly Stable]

THE LINKS I POSTED ARE NOT WORKING JUST GO TO THE i9000 XDA THREAD AND DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING FOR SOME REASON LINKS ARE NOT WORKING BUT JUST FOLLOW THE SAME INSTRUCTIONS ON HERE AND GET YOUR DOWNLOADS FROM THAT THREAD! THANKS
I thought Id post this since I have had a lot of success and even though I did this on my back up Captivate I am now using it as a daily driver as my only problems now have just been rotation even the buttons work. Network, Data, Calling everything is perfect and its insanely fast. I thought it really was very easy to do and it really does pay dividends if you flash and take it STEP BY STEP.
CHANGELOG
20110222
This build comes from teamhacksung repo which should be mainline compatible now.
It comes with silent updater-script. Don't be shocked!
- more camera fixes
- fixed touchscreen (thanks to DW1985 for this.- enabled 10 point multitouch
So here we go:
Flash Back To Stock
Flash latest Cognition 4 or any 2.2 ROM that converts to EXT4 (I only tested with Cog 4 so thats why Im saying that)
Then Download this:
Initial package:Copy following files to your internal sdcard
- galaxys-efsbackup.zip
- cm7-galaxys-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip
Flash "speedmod-kernel-k12n-500hz.tar" (i9000) or any of the latest speedmods osing odin or CWM I have tested both.
Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo and apply galaxys-efsbackup.zip.
- Don't use "reboot recovery" command to do this!
Flash cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar as pda using odin without auto-reboot
Reboot into recovery using 3-button-combo
Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, cache
Apply zip from sdcard: cm7-galaxys-initial-XXXXXXXX.zip
Do a wipe!
REBOOT!
And there you go CM7 will be booting on your Cappy!
Captivate Bugs Ive Run into: Auto Rotation is still messed up but just turn auto rotation off once boots and you will be fine. And the search and back buttons do not work.
I hope this helped you as it really isnt that hard just follow each step and everything will be great.
Have a good day and again hope this helped.

Great I have been wanting to try this but I don't know how to build it so I was waiting for someone to help out. Looking forward to giving this a try.

orientation is in the kernel now, id the kernel was built for the captivate like the devs are working on now, orientation would work
this is not authorized by the cmsgs team, i think it would be wise to remove this thread until they are ready to release it.

This post is full of fail.
Should research more before posting a built kernel and then posting bug reports about bugs that have been fixed and could easily be known by doing a bit of research before trying to be the first to post a fail post.
Kthx.

wow, please remove these. you have no permission from the cmsgsteam to post these. there's a reason these haven't been publicly shared. take them down.

Agreed. Please wait for something that works with a little more stability before posting this. While i know you're trying to help, and for you it sounds like CM7 is working great, who are people going to turn to when they need help with this 'rom'? Please take this down until some one is ready to publicly release and support CM7!!

They have been taken down goodness Im sorry I did not know it was a big deal.
My bad close the thread I dont care I thought I was helping but I understand my bad seriously

Closing this thread temporary while we investigate this.

I cannot install ANY rom, simply device denies all

Listen, I can read fine and understand instruction.
the phone is rooted but each time I try to install a ROM it gives me a new error, the last one was library cannot found.
I tried about 10 different roms from here, each failed. Either its stuck on boot screen or doesnt let me pass boot menu no matter what.
I guess I got the devils phone.
Any suggestions?

I don't know why your phone is crazy, but maybe flashing the SBF again will help?

Which SBF? the rom's? I tried, same BS everytime.
I just use this ****ty looking 2.3.6 I just want the phone to look nicer cuz I hate that too-androidish look.
And a nice smooth scrolling in the menu will be nice aswell.

i'm really sorry to ask and i dont mean to offend you but we need a starting point:
- did you try to install zip via stock recovery perhaps
- did you install 2ndinit?
- defy or defy+?
- did you wipe/factory reset before flashong the zip?
- do you maybe have bl7 kernel?
actually, sounds really bad but hopefully there is a way for you!

Please list the exact steps you followed to root and get a recovery and also mention what you did in recovery.. don't worry, we will help you as much as we can
And also list some of the roms you tried flashing..

Yes
I have 2.3.6 I'm not sure what BL7 is

I'm not a pro. But first I'd like you to
- install 2ndinit again
- reboot and press Vol-Down when the blue light appears
- use custom recovery do install your preferred custom ROM. (only use the ones for defy+)
you can NOT install custom roms from stock recovery!

Should I install a specific version of 2ndinit Defy? Can you give me the program, I'm confused what to download.
What do you mean stock recovery?
And another Q: If I was to successfully flash a rom, should I use GB or flash to JB?

stock recovery = shut down > power + vol-down
custom recovery = reboot > vol-down when blue light
no specific 2ndinit. just use the one that is mentioned in FAQ or howto install...
or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
If you don't know the difference between stock and custom recovery you might want to start reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982

I have a few more Q:
Do I need to upgrade my phone to 4.1.2 before flashing a ROM that is 4.1.2 or will that be the upgrade?
Which ROM do you suggest for me use because I am not very decisive about it.
What do I need to do for this ROM to work for me? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654
I have GB 3.2.6 rooted with DFP 231

1. no. there is no official 4.1.2 for defy.
2. i would recommend cm7.
use a version that is for the defyplus and you dont have anything to prepare more than you will find in the howto's.

Listen to this. It is not Motorola's fault that you have soft bricked your device. It is entirely your fault. Hundreds of other guys have successfully flashed their device with the ROM of their choice and are having no problems. Maybe you should read threads before trying to flash ROMs. If you do not know the basics of rooting and modding android, you should not attempt to do it. And if you have flashed your device without doing the neccessary homework, please do not expect help from the community. Please educate yourself to the required level before attempting to do such things. There are several well written and comprehensive guides and tutorials on the cyanogen wiki as well as here on xda which can answer all your questions for sure. For your own sake, please read them. Your posts in this thread highlight your severe lack of rudimentary knowledge about android. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because everyone was like that at some point. BUT, we read and we read and if we didn't understand, we read some more!
Please understand that this is a community where we cannot help you if you do not help yourself. I'm sorry to to tell you this, but you are being a jerk by criticising Moto and whining that things aren't working when it is you who has done things in the incorrect manner. So stop being a n00b, stop whining, go read some threads ( ALL THE STICKY ONES, MINIMUM ! AS WELL AS THE ONES ON THE CYANOGENMOD WIKI ! ) and educate yourself. Just because your friend has modded his device does not mean that you can too.It requires a certain level of expertise which can be easily gained, provided that you are ready to be an eager learner. Remember this, TO GET GOOD REPLIES, YOU HAVE TO ASK GOOD QUESTIONS.
Get rid of the attitude, --- learn the basics --- and then come back. If you are still having a genuine problem, then we will help you.
PS: You mentioned that you are going to flash using RSD lite. PLEASE flash the appropriate SBF file. If you flash the wrong SBF, it can lead to some serious problems. Choose wisely. And if you make ****s in that too, please do not start a new thread, refer to the pre-existing help threads. Good luck.
And please do not ask for the links to the above mentioned threads, use the search function and your common sense.

I've read well over 30 topics here ENTIRELY and none helped, I've done everything according to the guides, simply when I start to boot my device after a ROM flashing it has a new problem, I just gave up on motorola, tomorrow I'm going to return this piece of rubbish and get myself a SGS2 Because I've had enough of Motorola.
Thanks and no thanks to all, I've had enough of this rubbish.

good luck with your new device.

Okay, wish you better luck with your SGS2, try harder with it.. And please don't call the Defy a piece of rubbish because it is a lovely phone, infact I don't know any other device which can boot custom kernels on a locked bootloader :laugh:
And if you manage to brick the SGS2 also, perhaps it's best that you get an iPhone next time.

Anyone tried BAM ROM D800?

I'm curious as to if, anyone has tried the BAM ROM 2.0? They just uploaded the 20140101 Build and I am using PA now. I ask for feedback because I was unable to locate a thread on the LG G2 forums for them as of yet. Also, the file size is 333MB so was thinking maybe they included their own GAPPS package with it. Anyways here is the link

I just flashed and to get it to boot properly, you need to install Aysir's PAEK kernel after flashing the ROM. And don't flash GAPPS. Looking in to SuperSU at the moment. Looks like I need to flash that as well. All in all, it looks good so far.

Member, Due to this ROM being Ban from XDA, I have edited your posts; why you might ask....the maker of this ROM, felt the need NOT to comply with XDA policy on ROM's and hence his banning to include his Work....so please do not post any bam/jellybam etc.

[KERNEL][I8200N] Baroni-Kernel Alpha

I can give ABSOLUTLEY no gurantee!! All you do with your phone will be on your own. I'm not responsible if your phone will brick or whatever...
Attation! This kernel is for the I8200 variant ONLY... the I8190 is absolutley not compatible !!!
Kernel should be work also for I8200/I8200Q/I8200L-Variants, but can not be gurateed as the basis was I8200! If it works then a notice will be fine!
If you are not sure about the process, the data are important on your phone or you need it as a daily phone, then LET IT BEE, and wait for the messages that it is safe to use. Its important at the beginning that users with knowledge tried it at first !
Changelog:
12.02.2016: Long time ago, but now after a lot of investigating some new things comes up. Check what was done
05.01.2014: I try to work on the kernel over x-mas in my free time, but I must say that the source of samsung which was provided on opensource.samsung.com is not really funny stuff... there are so many coding errors, which was. not able for me to solve directly. So now I started to examine other kernel sources, and will try to port a more main.tained source to the i8200. From My point of view this will be the only way to produce an more accurate kernel for our device, and get the possibility to include also selinux what is needed for a kitkat-rom. Nevertheless, it is not easy to work on that stuff, because I'm not an expert on kernel work (but I learn every day more , so if you know someone with more kernel experiences, it would be very helpful to get a contact...
Baroni-V0.1 contains:
Basis of opensource from Samsung with some bugfixing
fixed recovery-boot-loop with a config-setting which must be used special in the Recovery zImage
Loglevel pushed down to minimum
Uber-Toolchain 4.9
set onDemand-Governor to standart. just to check how that works
start implementing SmartAssV2-Gonernor, but leave it inactive, due to some compile-errors.
bringing SELinux to work for future kernel releases if needed for > 4.4
Planned:
new govenors at the moment not established (will come later)
more other stuff (depending on learning-curve
Installation:
Install a recovery for safetyreasons (I prefer TWRP https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3rnfp3vabz9ee8/twrp_i8200_corrected.7z?dl=0
Read carefully the hints of the usage in the following firts post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/s-iii-mini-ve-i8200-n-t2826565 (There also the needed Odin (3.09) can be get)
Make backups of the complete phone, and be sure that you know what you do!
Download the right Firmware for your phone from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (just to have a other safety fallback in your hand!)
Download the file, start odin as usual (all kies-tasks closed!)
extract the file, and put it to AP
put the phone in Downloadmode (Vol-down,Home-key and powerbutton), and connect the phone with PC
flash the kernel, and let the phone reboot
pray
If things go wrong, please give everytime the following information's:
what you did before
what exactly happened (its not easy to help if you say: it did not work )
which rom in which version, which recovery and which version of my Kernel you use
try to get a /proc/last_kmsg (if a unknowen reboot appears) and/or Logcat, Build prop, CPU info, Sysctl, Kmsg, Dmesg and send it to me (or as a attachment to the post) for further analyse (you can use that tool for it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bassel.andylog )
Attention: First checks seem to be that I8200 (without N or L or Q) did not work atm.

My Friend.
Yesterday I tried to install its kernel but my phone did not start properly.
I wanted to do a restore from a backup that had done, but the recovery (TRWP) did not restore the data partition.
Is there any chance that I happen again the same with this version?

Attention with TWRP-Recovery. Data-Partition restore seems to be not right. At the moment please did not use it, because it can delete your data-partition. We have to investigate it further! Other partitions seems to be ok, but its a good Idea if you copy your important data also manually to a other storage (like PC) while you trying things of this thread.

Did you made a backup with twrp (as described)? If yes, then make a restore only with boot marked in the list.
Otherwise, which version did you have? Plain n/l/q? Than I can make a package for Odin...

To ask in forums (also in xda) is something what I do, but unfortunately the responding are not every time safe...
So I wish you all a happy new year, and lets work together to bring our device a little bit forward

How do i make Roms for sm-g530(H/F/W) Compatible with G530(T)??

Im seeing all these roms out there and none of them are for my phone. Like theres roms for (G530H/F/W) but for never (SM-G530T) do i need to do anything to make them "Compatible" for can i just flash it on my prime even though its for a different "type" of phone.
Lets say on my G530T. For example if I wanted a rom only for SM-G530H/W/H what do i have to do to make it for my G530T??

I too would like to know this information; Id be willing to build and post ROMS if some one would be willing to describe the process

Download the latest build of CM12.1 from here:
https://jenkins.sandpox.org/job/FORTUNAXX3G_CM12.1/
Nd flash it on your device. Before flashing open the zip file nd in Meta Inf folder find updater script. Remove the assert scripts on the top nd then you're good to flash.
Flash them with TWRP nd let me know the results, bugs nd issues.
Mention or reply to this post when you've to.

Ive tried flashing cm12.1 for the fortunax already twrp wouldnt let me.

What error does it show? Take a screenshot in TWRP nd post here.
The error is probably because you haven't removed the assert lines.

I have been interested in porting / building roms for a bit now; but with no real compile expierence (unless u count PASCAL from High School, 1992) im dl and attempting flash now; i currently have a CM12.1 rom on the phone, and I read a post before about porting roms here but havent actually tried it because I dont have a build environment setup (I will again soon tho)
edit with results from flash minus asserts
it flashed without the asserts but and boots but im getting random reboots before i can finish setting up

@Bloodygamers, a custom ROM already exists for the SM-G530T. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gra...12-1-g530w-t3424761/post67877333#post67877333
