Okay here is my problem I followed the following tutorial step by step until I got to step 7
addictivetips.com/mobile/install-gingerbread-based-miui-custom-rom-on-samsung-captivate/
After getting to that step they tell you to download cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar
from
sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/
I have searched everywhere for it and have come up with noting. I tried downloading the .zip file for it but odin doesn't take. zip files it only takes .tar .md5 etc..
If this is the right place to find this file please tell me how to go about getting the file. If someone can be so generous as to give me some in depth insite I would be very grateful. I am really lost right now and have my phone stuck in download mode as to not brick it.
Again thanks ahead of time for anyone who can help me find this file.
BTW I have a samsung captivate if that helps any. oh and sorry for the inconvenience of not posting a direct link. since im new here I am not allowed to post links.
Whats in the zip files
Does it contain he files you need
I am not quite sure what you mean when you say does it contain the files I need. But if you are talking about if I have all the files and completed alll the steps in the tutorial then yes I have.
I just cannot find the file mentioned in the tutorial that is called cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar........ I really need someone to point me in the right direction as far as this file goes?
Someone please help me it's been 8 hours that I have my phone in dowload mode as to not brick it. I just need this file... PLEASE HELP
Can someone please reply... I really need to use my phone again. I CANNOT MAKE PHONE CALLS... PLEAS E HELP ME
Try changing the zip extension to tar if that's what it's supposed to be. If you haven't already, unzip the file and see if what you need is inside.
EDIT: You may also want to check the Captivate forums here.
Why didn't you download everything before starting the process?

OK Ive Done Everything I Can Think Of But Im New To THis Stuff..Can Someone Please Give Me A Step By Step On THis..Ive Been Trying To Install THe Energy Sense 23557 I THink It Is For My Hd2(Leo) and Ive Downloaded On My Phone And On My Computer But I Dont Know What TO Do After That..Ive Tried Using The jzip and zip manager but i really dont understand what im supposed to be doing..can someone please help me..i really want that rom..thanks
Welcome aboard!!
Go here and download the 7Z software that will run on your OS.
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Then extract the ROM using 7Z.
Follow flashing instructions posted in the sticky thread at the top of your respected devices forum and your done.
I have tried the energy ROM's and they are well done.
Install 7-zip, then right click on the .7z file and under 7-zip, select 'extract files' (don't select 'extract files here', it can be a mess if there's a lot of stuff in there). A pop-up may appear (can't remember); just click ok and it will take a minute or so.
I have been searching for litterally DAYS to discover the way to do this, and have had no luck. I've installed the SDK tools on my mac and even downloaded and installed the correct platform.. I feel that I'm really close but i'm at my end here and about to give up... please someone provide me with the simple one-sentence answer that I know is out there SOMEWHERE. I just dont know what the command is that I need to type into my terminal or how i need to phrase it.
And if there is NO way for me to do it.. maybe someone out there that wants to REALLY go above and beyond can download my .zip file and then re-upload it to megaupload for me to download. Since I'm a new user the forums wont let me post outside links.. so please PM me for the link if you're up for it. Im begging someone to help me here I've been trying for so long. Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know where I can find the PDA file for odin to bring my SGS4G back to stock. I have been searching everywhere and cannot find it. Thanks
You haven't been searching everywhere. search for the bible thread and look at the guides section. The first one is the noobs guide to odin. Follow that and you should be good.

Yea I've been looking in the bible and have read that post and downloaded the file. My comp kept seeing it as a .rar file and realized that was the problem. Appreciate the reply even though the solution has been right in front of me the whole time.
Watching some videos on 0din and a lot of people are saying to use a .pit file.. Is that not needed?
A pit gile is not needed just fladh the pda file a.d make sure re-partition is unchecked also what browser are you using also extract it and open odin click pda and locate file where it says browse if it finds it the file should look like a piece of paper In a something .md5.tar and hit start shiuld take 2-3 mins
If I helped you dont forget to hit the tnanks button

Thanks to you both... worked like a charm
Found the Bible thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668090
But can't find the PDA file. Any ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------
Reason I'm looking for this file here is because the PDA file in this zip package:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
is corrupted. Tried unzipping with Winrar, Winzip, 7zip, disabled my anti-virus, nothing works. Keep getting a 'CRC check failed' error.
Nick:
Based on this post by you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19012178&postcount=1
And the darkyrom link you listed above, you do not have a Galaxy S 4G.
The bible thread you posted was for the HTC Dream: G1.
I think you need to take caution and READ before you start flashing your phone. It looks to me you thought recently you hard bricked your phone. You need to educate yourself before you turn your phone into a paperweight.
I saw somebody had already directed you to the correct forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=656
Yet you still posted here and found a bible in the HTC Dream: G1 section. Paying attention will help. Good luck!
Help!
I tried to flash Jellyblast v3 custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Y s5360l but its stuck at boot now. i have Odin downloaded and i downloaded the necessary files from hotfile to flash the stock rom back on my phone but when i click PDA on odin and search for the file, it is not appearing. Help would be greatly appreaciated. Thank you.
I would recommend searching the proper forum for your phone.
Maybe, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2298737 for starters. Or,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800&page=140.
Help!....Again
I dont know if i have the newest firmware updated but does that make a difference? My only problem is that when I open Odin and click PDA and search for the files they do not appear. Can anyone give me instructions to fix this?
Steps to fix:
1) Follow champ1919's directions and go to the right forum.
2) Read. Someone else might have a solution for you.
3) Don't necropost, if nothing seems similar to your question then make a new thread. Necroposting will make people want to ignore you.
4) Ask your question there, where the people actually know your phone.
5) Follow the directions in that post. Don't keep making new threads just because people aren't answering you fast enough.
I'm trying to root my HTC Evo 4G. I'm doing it through the steps given at HTCdev.. I started off by trying to unlock my bootloader. I was just one step away from accomplishing that until i hit a speed bump. I received an email from them talking about downloading a .bin file. I tried downloading it and it wouldn't let me open it. I need to open it so i can save it to my hard drive and continue on with the process. I've tried downloading the programs my computer recommended... no help at all. I was wondering if any of you out there have a good program to download so i can open up this .bin file correctly.. if so, please post a link to the download. It would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks guys!
I don't think you open the bin file, rather just flash it.
Scratch that didn't realise you meant on your computer

How to flash?
So, how would I flash the file? I'm kind of new to this stuff, but I really want to root my phone. Is there a more easier way to root my phone other than the way given at HTCdev?
Not sure if it works, haven't tried it but just came across this http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...cluding-unlocking-nand-and-flashing-recovery/
Hope it helps

I think i can do what your asking, i have 1 issue though. When i extract the firmware i'm missing the hidden.img which i think is used for the csc. I can use cygwin to make them. I'll give it a shot if you want to try them. Do you have a backup if things go bad?
hey Mike thanks for your response, yes i do have the back if something goes wrong. let me know if are able to do it thanks
Ok, just getting to work. Give me a bit and I'll make the files and post some drop box links to them.
two of the files are quite large so i cant post link via drop box. it only has 2gb storage. Im uploading them now thru mega. It will take awhile to upload. when done ill post links

I'm not sure about the CSC file. For what ever reason there wasn't a hidden.img in firmware. So CSC was not repacked with hidden.img. Let me know if they worked. I'm somewhat new to Android tinkering in general.
hey mike thanks brother I been searching the web and forgot I had posted here. I'm about to download and let you know if it works
Why is your CSC file 4gb?
I must have repacked it with cache img and system img on accident. I believe it should be repacked with the cache img and hidden img. But upon extracting that Verizon firmware, the hidden img wasn't in there.
