[Kernel][KH3][KI1/KI2]Boog Kernel[Updated 9/29/11]w/Clockwork Recovery init.d support

Ok, here it is guys! I know all you stock captivators have been anticipating this!
This is the stock KH3 and now KI1/KI2 kernel with clockwork recovery injected. Also my first go at a project like this.
The only issue I see is that /system won't unmount, so no nandroid backups (they won't restore). /system will now unmount, but restoring a nandroid backup will totally bork your phone, don't even try! (unless you are ready to odin/heimdall back!)
I have to give a huge thanks to eXistZ, he helped point me in the right direction, and generously gave me scripts he uses. And let me bug him on a regular basis. Thanks dude! And a thanks to Chainfire for pointing me in the right direction to finding why system wouldn't unmount.
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.
Nandroid is still broken, still looking into it.
Update 9/11/11
I am releasing this now, because it appears that the /system not unmounting issue causes problems for full wipe roms, with big system changes. This should help. Just don't try to do a nandroid restore, it will make your phone hang at the at&t logo! You have been warned!
It is also possible to format /system from cwm if anyone feels the need (you can't boot after, so only do so if you are also planning on also installing a rom).
The links below should be fixed to point at the new versions.
KH3
Here is the odin flashable version flash it first if your on stock: Link Mirror
Here is the KH3 cwm flashable kernel5! Flash it second to get init.d support if your on stock or don't already have cwm LINK It has init.d support and the same tweaks listed for the KI1/KI2 kernel below.
Here is a heimdall package for stock kh3 with the cwm kernel3 built in. Link It will wipe your phone! Make A backup as necessary. Hopefully it can help people go from stock to a custom rom in fewer steps, or recover from a soft brick Let me know if you find an issue with it. It contains factory.rfs, dbdata.rfs, chache.rfs, param.lfs, modem.bin and the cwm_kernel zImage.
KI1 KI2
Update 9/29/11
I'm just going to do one version for KI1/KI2 now that it appears the same kernel will work on both.
Here is the original odin flashable kernel to give you cwm, flash it first to get cwm if you don't already then flash the cwm with init support. Link And my original post with the stock kernel.
Now for the good stuff!
mtcarey modded my kh3 kernel here, to add init.d support, made changes to allow ADB / DDMS to run as root, and symlinks from Busybox to "ls" and "ps" have been removed from /sbin so that DDMS will work correctly. They now fall back to Toolbox links in /system/bin. Thank him in his thread! Awesome work! I think I have all of those mods pulled to ki1/ki2, plus:
+ Juwe11's LMK settings
+ Tweaked Kernel Scheduler Settings
+ Tweaked IO Scheduler Settings
+ Tweaked Ondemand Governor/Sampling Rate
+ Tweaked Readahead to 512 on internal/external SDs (mmcblk blocks)
You can get it here: Link Mirror
If your on stock you will need to flash the odin version to get cwm then the new tweaked one for the init.d scripts, /etc/init.d/S99complete is needed! If you remove it, the phone won't boot!
For any of you losing root when you flash my kernel or for anyone on straight stock, you can get root by flashing ChainsDD root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 or what I mention below.
If your on straight stock and don't already have cwm, flash my odin version first, then ChainsDD from the above link, or:
Grab my cwm zip that I made from ChainsDD and my latest kernels (with tweaks)
KH3 and root
KI1/KI2 and root
Hopefully those will help.

SWEET!
This Man Is A Beast, like the good one on X-men!!
Great Job.
You all reading this and wondering;

Sweet! Nice job y'all!

Any reboot during call issues like on kf1? I know its early on, but wondering if anyone has experienced this on any kh3 version. Thanks for ur work. No cwm has kept me from trying kh3. Can't wait to flash.

i know what crash you are talking about, and i had it too on kf1, but have yet to experience it on h3. that doesnt mean its gone though because i havnt given it the same stressing as f1.

Da Bomb...

Did this break data connection for anyone?

I would like to know how to do this. But I will try to do it by myself first.
If I getting stuck please let me PM for your help

I've heard word of "the best" battery life. Can anyone attest to this? I can't believe that from Samsung's track record....

Great work!! Flashing after post. Far as battery life. Every phone and phone user is different. So life varies. Me I crank brightness up use wifi, and GPS always. Like tonight buying a car 260 mile round trip used GPS to get there started with 100% and was. On 26% whenever I got there. Just appreciate that you have a device that makes your life easy and fun! I always turn wifi off and do my best to conserve battery. The captivate is truely a bad ass device. My brother was over last night. And we were playing with phones. He dropped his iPhone 4 and used my cappy cause its better he said

[STOCK GINGRBREAD TOOL] i897 AIO (source included)

This is just a concept i have to replace the current AIO because lets face it, its getting old.
CURRENT FEATURES:
restart to download mode
restart to recovery mode
install uckj3 with or without boot loaders
the corn kernel
100% portable application, just keep folder structure.
file is 7zip sfx compressed so please do a number of scans first if you dont know me.
DOWNLOAD HERE
I897 AIO.exe (349.28 MB)
im not as active as most members and do realize this isnt the latest rom leak but it is more than good enough to get you back to stock gingerbread. i will update it whenever i can.
src is attached. requires vb2010 express.
also if anyone has the EXACT hex codes for the xda colors ill recolor it.
nothing i release is licensed to me. im just playing around with VB making stuff i think people might use every now and then.

reserved.
please list all features you want it to have. i work for the community.

great plan,,if it ends up with all the features of the original that would be great and hopefully the odin you package will have the master clear option,,and this is a long shot but would there be any way to have the tool check and see which bootloaders are installed and allow the user to install whichever bootloaders are appropriate for the project at hand??

Don't forget about those who prefer Heimdall over Odin. I like Heimdall better because I use Ubuntu full time.

BloodSkin, creating an AIO for 2.3+ like the old Froyo Bay_wolf's AIO Captivate Toolbox is a great idea! I used to use the Odin 2.5 AIO version until Gingerbread came out then it was useless. Good job DL it now to check it out!
Things I liked was
1) Flash to stock I897JF6
2) Root phone
3) Flash custom rom
4) Download and restore mode in advanced section.

+1 these features are awesome i would like them too!

looking good so far,,now if you can get the root phone and install custom rom features it will be nearly perfect

deleted the source for the old one, rebuilt it with the same features and added a kernel to get you started with flashing, and gave it better organization. as far as flashing custom roms, ill take a look at odin. and as for ubuntu, this is designed for windows. sorry bud.

If you're up for it (and maybe it's already like this), please consider putting the source files for your tool up as well, so that it can avoid the same fate as the previous AIO (which has been unstickied since nobody was able to update that specific program).

done deal bud. thanks for the great suggestion.

have been playing with your new tool and very nice work,,that said now that we have the proliferation of roms from 2.2 - 4.0,3 could the stock rom option allow us to choose between jf6 and kj3 also could master clear be added to the tool,,

yea, go ahead and play with the source. requires vb2010 express. no special libs. just a stock install and ur good to go. just change the file name it calls for and replace the file.

the source link is dead ...

CM11 - Error 7 - set_metadata_recursive.

Hi! Im trying to install the new CM11 dev builds for the Galaxy Y and I keep getting:
Code:
Installing update...
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-11-2014-05-28-EXPERIMENTAL-totoro.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas. I'm installing it upon the CM9 build re recently got and upon that kernel.

its recovery issue.

How can I fix it then? I guess that much. :L

sorry but i have no permission to share something.

So, can I or cant I fix it...

you need to use the correct cwm recovery v6.x
for that you need the new kernel
But I dont know why you want to - its for devs only - its experimental - has a high risk of bricking your phone - and nothing on cm11 works yet other than it boots
If you are a dev and want to develop all the details are on the cm11 thread in the dev section but I repeat - unless you are a dev please dont not post there or flash anything on your device

Thanks and yes I know. I like to try out the newest things, I'm not in any major need of my phone for a while so I can do whateva.
Could you link me to the new CWM Recov. and the Kernel?

Unfortunately the devs are not in favour of releasing these things as yet. -CALIBAN666- and marcussmith2626 had put up links and attachments for the files but have since taken them down at bieltv.3's request.
Try and understand, they as devs do not want to hard brick your phone with their work.
Until we get a beta, don't even try.

also don't think so..

I haven't used night clock overnight, how does it impact the battery? currently, with deep sleep, I lose 0% batt 7 hrs overnight

I really want to try flashing the kernel version but am a bit weary of the results. There might be some sensors especially pertaining to the camera and even overall performance that might get affected or may become erratic.

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

Post The Screenshot From About Phone.
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.

Duplicate.

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
