[GUIDE] Install Roger's Froyo on AT&T Captivate and enable root and Voodoo Lagfix

This was super easy.
I first obtained the Froyo .Tar file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905042
Then I installed it via Odin with a 512 Pit. The 512.pit file can be obtained from samfirmwares.com
After I got it booted I Rooted with Super 1 click http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
After that I installed Supercurio's Voodoo 5 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870760
Edit:
if you need to change your APN settings to get 3G data working again instructions for doing so are here http://androidforums.com/823226-post4.html
again I used the 512 pit and put the kernel in PDA.
Worked like a champ

Cool. Are you on AT&T or rogers?
How does it compare to jpy 2.2.1?

I'm on AT&T. So far it's seems smooth, it definitely needed the voodoo lagfix though it was very very sluggish without it.

At&t for me too.
Big questions - gps and internet.
How are they and how do they compare.
I may give it a shot later but I remember how limited jj4 and ji6 was.

Thank you ,,downloaded it.

Hey gunnyman.... my fellow sprint convert....
I think I might give this a try. Thanks for the instructions!!

I discovered a pretty major bug this morning. The Rogers release has the internal SD card bug. It won't mount on my computer.

Mine is working? I get two drives when mounting.

Hi, can some one Please post o directme to a little bit more detailed guide on how to do this! I'm just a little bit lost here trying to update my AT&T Captivate using this method as is the first time doing it.
Thanks!
Edit: I did it and everything Went Just Fine!!!!! Thanks!!

I found that when I mounted internal sd as mass storage my pc (windows 7x64) it would show as a cd rom drive. If I put it in media player mode it worked fine.

You shouldn't have to, when you use odin it pretty much starts from scratch, do a master clear first to be sure.

i keep gettin an error while in recovery mode, saying it cant validate the package...

[Modems] [I897] [2.3.3] Captivate kernel compatible - minor findings

The following is a list of modems I have tried with my Captivate.
Notes, Setup, etc.
Cognition 5 b2 kernel, provides root and Clockwork capabilities
Stock 2.3.3 KF1 ROM, removed AT&T bloat that's all
"Tests" were done with Speedtest
General observations were noted in the Saratoga/Albany, NY to NYC, NY area.
Davlik cache wiped before each modem flash via Clockwork
GPS testing using AngryGPS
Looks like
doesn't work here, so just follow the link to the google doc until I find an easier way of doing this.

If anyone has any modems that work with I897 Captivate(!not 9000 series) kernels please feel free to list them, I am searching the forums but I know I am missing some. Clockwork or Odin doesn't matter to me. ;-)
These will continue to be tested on ONLY Captivate based kernels.

Thanks for sharing the results...upload speed of the JL3 is interesting indeed.

How did you flash these modems. I wanna try kb1, but can I flash via cwm, considering I'm on cog 5 beta 2 with cwm 4? Is it compatible?

I just used Odin3 1.81 to flash these on there. The original files are in the CWM zip files and can be placed in the Phone section of Odin.

What I did was:
1) Grab cwm2 KB1 zip and open it
2) Grab any cwm3 modem zip, open it and replace the modem.bin file with the modem.bin from the KB1 zip
3) Copy cwm3 zip to phone
4) Flash with cwm4 (yes it's compatible)
Here is the one I used. Props to devz3r0 for the cwm3 zip I used.

As a follow up the JL1 is completely unreliable in my short experiences with it.
First and Second run with Speed test were great, then I got a call and quality was so-so. Then after the call I couldn't get the data to reconnect and rebooted. Now the speeds are very slow ping times in the 2000ms range and 3G performance is abysmal at best most of the time it just locks up and says network error.
I doubt I will be able to use this much longer today.

I was right I couldn't deal, so I am currently running JJJV5, yes it's a 9000 modem :X I'm going to run this for a while and see if it's stable on KF1. I like the speed of 3G with this one and signal strength seems up there as some places where I would get 2 EDGE bars before I now get 2 3G bars. As stated I will keep this one for a while and post back some experiences.
Ha! Data is awesome, but you can't hear the phone.. So there you go, useless on a Captivate kernel

I see you added JJJV5 to your results.. I've been dying to try this modem after reading all of the good feedback, but I thought it was a I9000 modem and wasn't compatible.
Edit: Didn't see the above post before replying... Let us know how it goes!

Still looking for some more Captivate modems to try out, if there is anymore.

Unless I missed something I believe all i9k modems must have a i9k compatible kernel to work properly. Yes data will work just fine but voice will not work.

I have a feeling that is the way mine is looking too, the non-9000 builds simply aren't giving me the service level I require. My data speed is crap, the GPS is horrid and I can't seem to find the fix no matter what I try.

I thought trying something actually made for our phones would be better, but far from it. I will now stick with i9000 roms and modems, they just work better,faster and are more feature packed. I guess the carriers requirements are the problem. Thanks for your research.

[ROM][deodexed][leak][beta]I997UCKI3

this is the UCKI3 leak deodexed and packaged with entropy's daily driver kernel.
it is CWM flashable for all to try but it is my first deodex and this is a test build from samsung so expect issues.
the kernel from the odin package gives me unreliable cell connections. i will post it later for those that want hdmi and i hope others experience with it is different.
there will be more to come on this, i need to come up with a good rom name then the debloating and stock app modding can begin. i plan to atleast remove the battery full notification, theme the launcher (because atleast in froyo the launcher needed to suport hdmi so im not sure i can just use gtg's great launcher) theme the notification bar and who knows what else.
when att releases it officially i will certainly move on to that as a base.
the link is below
flash me if you are brave
edit:
the known issues are that
-entropy's kernel and hellraiser dont seem to like my dock or car dock , no audio over usb (this is not unique to this rom on my phone)
-crazy rainbows if you use the stock kernel (not packaged with the rom for the reason that the incomplatible bootloaders bork recovery, if you are used to using odin you probably dont need this rom as it is still basically stock)
edit:
hdmi supported kernel is now attached. warning! this has no recovery! let the media scanner run before opening the camera or previews will be rainbows.
edit:
-the cell connection with the att kernel can be unreliable but it "seems" to be better if you shut down the phone in flight mode and restart.
-the email app is broke. im not working on a fix yet.
-wifi doesnt work with a rogers based kernel
this whole thing is a learning experience for me. i'm certainly not a gtg or linuxbozo. far from it infact.

You can always pull the modem.bin from the ZIP, and push it to your phone manually, although I don't remember where it goes, someone else will probably say it.
That's what I'll do when I get home, back to my Infuse (took my Inspire to school today so that my friend can play with it, lol).

Could you list links to each modem individually along with the package. The package is nice and all, but I hate to have to download the entire package when a new modem comes out. Either that or dig through the leak thread for the first person to package it up. That is what made GTGs thread so amazing, having the individual link to each modem.

Update: tried KK1, got abysmal data speeds <.2 Mbps, KI3 is still king, followed by KJ2.

He can use the links from gtg's thread for the older modems, then each of the others has been uploaded and posted somewhere else, either in their own thread or in the Leak thread for that release.

Radio and modem questions

OK since this is a question I'm assuming that I post this here so if I'm wrong sorry. And I have searched for answers to these questions on xda and Google and if info is out there I can't find it so if someone knows where it is point me in the right direction and I'll read the info myself as I'm not to lazy to research info when I can find it now that that's out of the way my questions are as follows...
1. What does the modem in my phone control the wifi or data and basically what does it do? The quick version will be fine.
2. What does the radio do and controll? Quick version OK.
I just updated to the latest ics leak that came out a couple of days ago I think it UCLD2 correct me if I got that version wrong. I've also tried UCALC4 and with neither I get many bars. On gingerbread I got 2 or 3 bars in my home recliner with UCALC4 I got 1 and with UCLD2 this new leak I get 0. I've read flashing the galaxy note radio will fix this if so I need a link to that radio with instructions on flashing it in cwm. And if that radio does not fix the problem can I flash back to this one or maybe a gingerbread one?
And lastley I'm getting a notification at the bottom of my screen every few minutes that says connected to belkin wifi etc. I did not get this on gingerbread is this also a radio problem or a modem problem or a tottaly different issue? And what can I do to fix it? Should I just restore the backup of gingerbread I made and wait for the official update whatever year that may be lol?
Thanks ahead of time for any help or advice...

I typed "android phone modem" in Google and got an answer on the first page, I'm sorry but I highly doubt u searched anything. None the less, as a new user I will spoon feed u this one time
Radio and modem are interchangeable terms used on CDs to basically describe the firmware used to control your phones cellular radio. Different firmwares enable different functions and frequencies. Basically with no modem, u have no cell data, or signal. No calling, no texting, nothing
UCLCL5 has been pulled due to it causing too many instability issues. getting a phone that works with it is luck of the draw. Use leeC UCLA3 radio for ics instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24227420

Sorry but I typed in cell phone modem and of course with that all I got was ways to connect your PC to the internet thru the cell phone. Didn't think about putting android in cause I figured modem would be in all phones oh well I will try that too see what I come up with. I'm in a real wooded very rural area so im not sure if the radio is the main problem I do know other phones like pan tech link a non smart phone gets full signal here but none of our android phones do. My main concern is the wifi saying connected every few minutes and my connection seeming like its slower that problem I did not have on gingerbread or UCALC4 is anyone else having these issues on the new leak

OK I flashed that modem that you gave me the link to then rebooted and BAM!!!!!! Instant signal bars... Thanks man you are awesome and I may be a noober but I'm learning a lot fast thanks to guys like you. I am a computer programmer/web developer/ net worker but phones are new to me but I'm learning in many ways there similar but in other ways miles apart... But thanks again.. oh yea by the way in baseband version it says UCALC4 but in build number it says UCLD2 but the modem I flashed said UCLA3 so I'm not sure what that's all about but its working so if it ain't broke you don't go messing with it...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

yeah, you'll learn about that as u go along, but they're basically different build numbers. UCLD2 is the newest, UCLA4 is the previous ics leak build, and UCLA3 is actually a gingerbread radio (2.3.6), but it works really well.
If I helped I u, and if others do in the future, hit the thanks button!

Yep, I used LeeC's UCLA3 modem for a good while. I tried the others but kept going back to it for the connectivity. Of course, everyone's phone and conditions differ so you have to try anything for yourself before you know if it is going to work for you. Like mentioned, it will probably show "Unknown" for a baseband, but it works. I am using the latest ICS modem (UCLD2) now with the Alien 7 ICS ROM and it seems to work just as well as the UCLA3 modem did for me.

+1 my wifi is even much faster and alot better range on ucld2 radio. Ucld2 is in every aspect. Far superior
Smoother. Faster. Less bugs
And easier to build from
I built my new rom. The ucld2 one. And did the themeing. In 1 afternoon.
Of course i have a great setup i ended up with from dealing with. The other leak. But i still say its much more refined

The UCLA3 modem worked good for me no doubt but as you said every phone is different and I like to try new things and stay cutting edge so I flashed the UCLC5 modem out of the galaxy note and my download speeds are faster with it but like you said it seems to depend on the phone itself and I would suggest anyone who is gonna try a new modem to try each one for a day or two to see which one is the right fit for your specific phone...

That note radio is screwing up a lot of peoples phones. I would stay far away from that one

Yea, it worked OK for me (a few fc's in the background) but nothing major, but I too have read about the troubles some people get from the Note modem. Like you said, its probably not worth the gamble...especially now that UCLd2 modem is out.

Scott can you post a link to a zip file for the UCLD2 modem. The post I seen it in the other day I can't find now. I lost all my favorite XDA forum posts when I upgraded to premium. I want to try it on my wife's captivate just for an experiment.....

The version of the UCLD2 radio I am using can be found in the "Alien 7 ICS" thread in the DEV section. romracer posted it in the OP so be sure to thank him for it...it is his work.

They are both the same modem, but I'm not sure if they were cooked differently or not.
