Flashing kernal... - Captivate General

I was wondering when you flash a kernel on the captivate do you need to use the power button. My power button dosent work amd I cannot find an alternative.

Hmm.. power button not working may lead you to some problems. But, I love android... there's more than one way to skin a cat! Grab sgs kernel flasher from market. If you have root, then you should be able to flash a kernel.. just make sure its compatible with whatever ROM your running.

Well the thing about kernels is different phones and different areas change the results. There is a stickie in the general section with most all the modems. Just rember that i9000 kernels must be with i9000 modem and same with i897 (captivate)... I personally love cognition with it's stock feel. but with rom and modem/kernel there is no best ... Btw if you would have made a thread like that they get locked quick. As always pm the leezrd if need more help

I would totally want to flash another rom. Even if i try restart to recovery. But I'm pretty sure you need the power button to get out of recovery. I don't have those screwdriver to unscrew my phone

Fascinate basebands

Samsung fasciante has so many more roms for The mesmorize. Can i just install any samsung fascinate rom on it or do i need install the fasciante basband first?
No and no.
This should be posted in the General subforum.
Facinate roms cannot be flashed without first being edited. It can be done. But must be ported first.

Without any edits you will lose functionality. I would assume you don't notice this because you already lose functionality with CM.
Wuts not working? Everythong but mms

DL09 is an old baseband, I don't know why you are suggesting this to others... Most people who are using the fascinate radio are using ED01 or higher...
If you don't make certain edits to build.prop the market won't see your phone correctly also. (as akellar was hinting at)
Either way, let's please let this thread die - it's in the wrong place and pointless.
I agree with bdemartino. Please move this thread to General.

Both are located in the general forum.

Are you serious?!
Use the huge knowledge base xda forums provide! It's not too complex how overclocking works. I think you are too lazy to get on it.
I don't want to be mean, but if you think that's hard to handle with than I recommend to let your hands away from this kind of stuff.
Rtfm! ;-)

The only thing i know how to do is flashing via odin. Lols and that took me a month to learn. Ahahhaa im just a really slow learner.

What do you do on your phone that would require overclocking anyway?

I think those are as simple as the guides get to flashing and overclocking. If they're too complicated, then maybe you should consider not making any mods to your phone until you've read enough and feel confident.
The thing is, on tegrak overclock, when i change the level 0 to 1500/1400/1175, it closes and says testing stability. Then when i open tegrak again, nothing changes...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
You shouldn't really be making the jump from 1000 to 1500 right away as it is. Should be easing your way up. However as long as the phone vibrates and it says checking stability, then it's working.
I definitely agree with FBis251 here. You really don't need anything to be OC'd on this phone. If you don't understand how to OC, you should probably avoid it. However, If you're THAT eager to OC, just gradually bump up the GHz to whichever amount you want.
As for CWM, you'll definitely have to learn how to use it. Here's as simple as it can be said. I'm assuming you know how to get CWM properly, since your OP asks about CWM flashing.
1) Put the ROM you wish to flash in your SD card
2) Boot into CWM
3) Check mounts (UMMU) if you're on orange CWM; you don't need to check it if you're on red CWM
4) Select the ROM you wish to flash
Remember that not all ROMs have the same flashing instructions. While it's okay to be a slow learner, it's not okay to not read carefully here. Please read carefully and try not to clutter the forum with "OMG, I BRICKED" threads. There seems to be more and more these days.
Honestly, if you have trouble understanding these guides, you might want to just stick with whatever you have. Flashing is usually more difficult than just what I mentioned up there. Btw, if you didn't understand how to use CWM, how did you even get KH2 Deodexed?
Sorry if this post made me sound mean, but I just wanted to make it clear for you.
Im on Kf2. not kh2. ahahhaha. And that one was via odin. I wanna learn how to cwm flash so i can use the kh1 or 2. . thanks for the posts guys. Although i dont get it, im constantly reading it over and over again ahahaha.

Looked up a different way. So, i plan on flashing bali kernel 3.3 via CWM. Will it work on my current build?

Edit again. Sorry for the spam. But when I flashed kh1 or kh2 via cwm, I got bootloop ((( currently on kf2 deodexed rooted stock gingerbread. Downloaded bali kernel 3.3 then attempted to flash. Flashed successfully then got caught in bootloop help anyone?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
As far as I remember, and I may be wrong at this point, but you can't use flash Bali 3.3 on KH1 or KH2. If you want to flash to KH1 or KH2, then I'd suggest following the steps in this thread.

I have a similar problem; but it freezes on step 6 instead
You can get root by simple flashing Dr honk's kg4 kernel via Odin.
Hope this helps!

go to the development section and read up happy flashing.
Random question, why do you have 2.3.3, Kf1 and 2 were the most unstable roms ever built for the gs4g. You need to use kh2. Kh2 is 2.3.4.

Yes...its based off UCKK4 i897 firmware but the UCKK4 modem for captivate wont work on infuse so I used UCKK2 because it has worked the best for those I spoke to...but flash whatever modem works best for you...

[Q] Official Gingerbread 2.3.6 to Froyo 2.2.1 Need Help!

I have the Infuse and I just upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using kies mini and the update from samsung. Upon downloading it and using it for a few days I absoutely hate it and would like to go back to Froyo 2.2.1. I have searched and searched through thread after thread and I have found no solution to this problem due to the fact that you can not root the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 and seems like this is a common problem with no real answer. I have an idea and im no expert but thats why I am here for the help. My girl also has an Infuse and she is still running the Froyo. My question to all of you is there a way to use her phone with the original Froyo OS and transfer it to My Infuse with Gingerbread OS or does anyone know of a solution to the rooting problem with 2.3.6? Thanks for your time.
Read this thread and choose the method best suited for you. Personally, I have always found that Odin is easier to use.

How do you not like gingerbread? Copy and paste. Smoother. More options. More apps work. Etc...
If you hate gingerbread don't go to jellybean they really rearrange the buttons on top of the new features.
Gingerbread made my lock screen not work properly and some of the features I didn't like so I'm running 4.0.4 and so far I love it.
