Thanks for the update quail!
Do you have the AUS version of the Ideos? If so, who'd you get yours from?
Also, can we use this thread as a ROM request? (i.e. overclocking ability, gingerbread development)
Thanks. But can you plz post a guide or give a link on how to install the modified ROM in IDEOS for noobs like me

Yes I have the AU version and I bought a Crazy Johns pack with 4GB micro HCSD carded included from Aus. Post for 159AUD. I was luck and go one that was not locked to any network.
Yes you can use the thread for ROM requests, I personally will be ignoring requests for OCing, as there is a very nice little app called setCPU which works great on the U8150.
[How to] install recovery and custom ROMs
I hold no responsibility to how you use or not use this info and if you brick phone - you do this at your own risk
Part 1 Installing Recovery ROM
Please refer to this post before flashing Recovery ROM - AmonRA Recovery 1.6.2 and BLUE Screen
The custom recovery allows you to do all sorts of lovely things such as installing ROM update zips (for the forthcoming custom ROMs), wiping various parts of the device, backing up and restoring and much more.
You can enter recovery mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'volume up' and 'send' (green).
Downloads
AmonRA Recovery 1.6.2 - DOWNLOAD (MediaFire Pro) / MIRROR (CoBlitz / ROMraid) - MD5: 65d4dcbbedb956a9f88dd1981fb31ef8
How to install - Windows, Linux and OSX
Download the recovery image of your choice above and extract the zip file
Put your device in bootloader mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'Volume Down' and 'End (Red)' keys
WINDOWS - double click 'install-recovery-windows.bat'
MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-mac.sh' followed by './install-recovery-mac.sh'
LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-linux.sh' followed by './install-recovery-linux.sh'
Part 2 Installing Custom ROM
Note: When using the Custom Recovery image use the Trackball to move up / down and press to select. Use the volume down button to go back.
Download a Custom ROM of your choice and place the ENTIRE ZIP (Do not extract it) onto the root of your SD card. By "Root" I mean do not place the file in any subfolders
Enter recovery mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'volume up' and 'send' (green).
From Custom Recover Main menu and select the 'Backup/Restore' option. Choose a 'Nand backup' and let it run it's course
Return to the Custom Recover Main menu and select the 'Wipe' option. Choose the First option 'Wipe data/factory reset' and confirm. <- this is optional after installing one of my ROMs. I personally have not bothered with it with my ROMs
Return to the Custom Recover Main menu and select the 'Flash zip from sdcard'. Select the custom rom you wish to flash, confirm and wait.
Part 3 Restoring back to original ROM
Note: Upgrade operations will erase the user data.
Find and Download ROM from Link provided on WiKi that you want to install
Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP in it) to the root directory of the MICRO SD card.
Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the MICRO SD card into the handset. Pressing the END key and VOLUME UP key, and then press the POWER key to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode.
You can see process bar start from 0 on the screen. (this take a few minutes)
Then the handset will restart automatically. Then it is OK.

I got the same deal!
Have you played around with the kernel at all? I'm not experienced in programming etc. but apparantly to OC the IDEOS U8150 more than 600mhz (setcpu does this automatically), it needs a kernel hack like other phones do.

I have played around with Linux Kernels in the past just not the Android kernel yet... but I am sure it not that hard to patch it and recompile.
I am happy with the 600MHz that setCPU unlocks it too.

The Main thinkg about these two parts here, when i enter recovery mode i get a blue screen is that right... nothing BUT a blue screen.
When i try to enter the bootloader mode it stays on the IDEOS logo, the first one when you turn it on...
Also im guessing it has to be plugged into the usb at all times for these.

You should not be getting a blue screen, you sure your using the correct key combination?
Yes you need the USB cable plugged in to use the bootloader. Yes the bootloader is ment to just sit at the IDEOS logo
yeah im 100% sure i used the correct key combo for the restore recovery mode, and sweet as for the bootloader, just wasnt 100% sure on that one.
Thank you OP for the info here, I used them to flash the recovery and I'm going to flash your ROM.
Having a Desire from the very first day I'm not new to these things, but this little boy is in my hands since this afternoon and it's amazing that you came with this just in time.
Will report back in a while with impressions.
OK, here I am. Just attempted to flash the ROM (after a full wipe), but it fails with an "Installation aborted." message just after the ISO symlink one. Looking at the update script, I guess there was a problem while flashing the BOOT partition.
Rebooting into the OS result in the new (rooted) ROM, but something is missing: the build.prop is likely the old one (I still see the old build string) and I have only 118 MB of free NAND space.
Coming from the Vodafone Italy ROM.
Any hint?

Hi, I flashed "U8150V100R001C191B822_010711_042603", the one I guess is the newest (despite the "2010" typo on the first post ).
Is there a newer one?

Another thing I am not sure what the diff is between the Italian ROM and the Australian ROM. I wonder if you phone is not fully compatible with the Australian ROM?
ARGH, ok not good...
booted up to flash my loving ideos and i think i killed it...
'Firemware update step 1/2
Unpacking
[=============] (thats a progress bar
!
update failed
and all my buttons are blinking...
First version working
I had the same problems as @ngel using the newer version. Fail with the iso symlink.
Used the first version you posted up and that worked without a problem.
Zeam Launching is really snappy. Or I just haven't bogged down my phone with a whole bunch of crap yet.
Thanks for your work I bought my Ideos through 2 Degrees in New Zealand.
Request:
I quite like the look of the black notification bar and green icons. Would you be able to theme this rom with those? Also could you include the gingerbread keyboard. I know I can install it separately but would be cool to have Touch Pal and the original keyboard removed and replaced with the gingerbread one.

Did you power on your unit holding the 'volume up' and 'red' key?
WARNING: My English isn't good as all of you! I'm not responsible of anything related to your phone!!!
WARNING: My English isn't good as all of you! Since I'm not forcing you to do this method,
WARNING: My English isn't good as all of you! You have to take any risk that you might have to face!!!

THIS WILL NOT FIX "RANDOM SHUTDOWN" ISSUE ON EVERY SINGLE CAPTIVATE
::: If your phone's last 4 digits of IMEI # is lower than 5394, I recommend you to call AT&T Service center for a replacement :::
This is my phone's detail:
Model #: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000UGJK4
Kernel: 26.32.9 [email protected] # 102
Build: Serendipity 5.5
IMEI #: 1010
This is what I did:
-First-
Download Odin3 One-Click STOCK Downloader
Open the file that you just downloaded
-Second-
Turn on DEBUGGING MODE (Settings>Applications>Developing> USB Debugging)
-Third-
Plug-in your phone to your computer with USB
*** if computer cannot recognize your phone download Windows 64bit/32bit USB driver ***
-Fourth-
Once Odin have recognized your phone,
Click START button to install STOCK version of Captivate
< Don't close Odin, since you will be using it again later >
-Fifth-
Once your phone is booted,
Turn on DEBUGGING MODE again (Have to disconnect USB first),
Since every settings have been reseted to default
-Sixth-
Plug-in your device to your computer,
And click on MASTER CLEAR button (This will delete everything on your phone)
-Seventh-
After phone was refreshed,
Turn off the device...
Then hold both Volume +/- buttons together,
And hold power button until AT&T screen comes up
-Eighth-
* Now you are in "recovery mode" *
"Volume +/-" = move up/down "Power Button" = select/enter
Using Volume +/- key, highlight WIPE DATE/FACTORY RESET, and press power button...
Now select "YES" if it ask for permission
(Now repeat this "8th"process about 3-5 times)
-Ninth-
* Similar to step 8th *
Using Volume +/- key, highlight WIPE CACHE PARTITION, and press power button...
Now select "YES" if it ask for permission
(Now repeat this "9th"process about 3-5 times)
-Tenth-
This might not solve any issues on your phone, but it's worth a try...
But, if it works... Please finish this last step, by pressing "THANKS" button on the button of this thread!!!!
>>> If you are going to download a ROM after this <<<

Call AT&T and get a replacement that is supposed to be fixed out of the box

Yes, you could... Like I said at the top...
But for my case... I replaced 4times already (mostly same issue), and AT&T and Android department wouldn't provide anymore replacement!
So I have to send it to Samsung Department, which I don't want to take any risk of getting caught (Even if I download back to STOCK, I'm afraid)
So, this is the way that I figured out!
You don't, of course, have to use this method...
I'm sharing it, since it worked for me!
anyone tried this :-?
Random Shutdown fix for recall Captivate
I have one of the old "factory reconditioned" AT&T I897 phones. I don't know what they reconditioned but it wasn't the hardware, so after flashing custom kernels and roms etc., it started to randomly shut down. After tinkering alot, I found a 2-combo fix: I have to make sure that the CPU is set at 200 Mhz minimum freq. (might take a few tries after restarting the phone to make sure the setting sticks), and the second (might be a CM thing) is to make sure I don't kill Package Access Helper, don't ask me why.
Hello to all,

The machine has 4GB HD recognizes like 2.5 gb of free space ... FWDN used the program, but had no success please help me .....
USB TABLET DRIVER'S GT-7104:
REMEMBERING THAT THE DRIVER TO INSTALL USB RK29, has to be manually.
- But among other problems to be solved, I will still continue their studies here:
1 - To put into order FAST MODE:
- Unplug the appliance, or if you prefer ........... click RESET push the button and the + or button with the arrow ->''right''
Now the device and detected by the pc or is being FAST MODE .... so do not be surprised how FAST MODE''black screen''..
and normal to the model ¬ ° aff ...
- When trying to connect the tablet again .. he will be brik .... NOT SCARE hold the''small''RESET for 3 seconds and release, then hold the''POWER'', he returns to life!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
however, I'm behind the solution ... for my tablet .. GT -7104 q may be occurring?!
1 - I was missing the driver can be compatible but not the correct USB driver, I could be wrong ¬¬....
But first comes the tablet mode FAST MODE''black screen''.. how do I know if he is in fast mode''so''?
pressing the ESC key''or''''+''or''home''.
him and recognized by the computer as a device''device rk29''... if I'm wrong correct me please!
2 - Testing the program FWDN, well this program does not detect the tablet ... wanted to use it a lot ...
3 - Testing RKtools the program, the program seems to recognize the tablet, but the program seems to be having problems routing the firmware it says FIRMWARE FAILURE .....'' got lucky huh .....
4 - Testing the ROM Device Manager, but not tested it without the root of the tablet with Android is that 2.3.1 has no root I think ....
PLEASE HELP ME .........................
Dear All,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 (GT-P6800) with the below Items :
Android Version : 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)
Baseband Version : P6800DXMD3
Kerner Version : 3.0.31 - 1157844
[email protected] - 133 #3
SMP PREEMPT MON APR 22 22:19:00 KST 2013
Build Number : JZO54K.P6800DXMD3
EMMC Type : MAG2GA
CID : 1501004d4147324741076f07993b5f91
Revision : 0X7
The EMMC data has been extracted from gotbrickbug app.
Also I was using Framaroot 1.5.3 with the Aragorn exploit and was using gamehacker application and lucky patcher. Some days before I did framaroot exploit and forgot to unroot the device and kept the device idle for some time. After a while, my device got restarted automatically and after that it is working in weird fashion. Whatever I delete reappears and what ever i add is getting deleted once i restart my device. Also the device is restarting every 5 minutes once. I installed various applications to find whether my device got the EMMC Bug but most of the applications didn't gave any error. Then I looked into the MAG2GA Trim bug and it looks like I had got one as some of the mp3 files gets corrupted now and then for a while. So it looks like memory is getting corrupted for some or the other reason. I tried to flash Samsung Stock version of Jelly Bean and Honey Comb. Odin gave success message but no change happened. Looks like the EMMC is in read only mode. I tried SU and mounted my /system with read write mode and restarted the device. But nothing happened after that also. I tried factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache partition but nothing is working. Also in recovery mode I am getting a line in Red color : "did not match sized '/system/csc/common/system/cc/others.xml'(No data available)". I went to this path via su and found the file was present. I tried to install TWRP, CWM etc., but everything got erased once i restarted my device. Is there any way where I can get my tablet in working condition other than hardware change.
I tried installing cyanogenmod through sdcard from recovery mode but I am getting difference in signature as I am not able to install CWM / TWRP to change that.
Hoping for a valuable feedback.
Regards,
bhaarn.
