hi there i have a rooted samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch. im looking to put custom roms on it and i have figured out that i have to flash kernels through odin. I was wondering which is safer the EL26 or the EL29, or what is best to use. I also was wondering if i do this then flash custom roms on it how do i get it back to stock if i need to for some warranty reason ect. i mean where do i find the original kernel or does it matter, I'm on build IF27 and does that make a difference when flashing kernels or going back and forth from roms and kernels. I used to have a rooted evo whick was much easier to flash but with this new phone there is a little more work to make it work. thanks for your input!

Is anyone working on making the recently released for Canadians Sammy Froyo ROMs rooted and repackaged (without bloatware and ready to flash from clockwork) available for AT&T Captivate owners?
already exists but im not sure if either is an official version. we have a telus t959 rom in perception 9.x
there are also a couple bell i9000m jk3 roms including earlier versions of perception. i dont think a jk4 rom has been cooked up but the original is there.
the latest telus rom should work with just a kernel or maybe even using the button remapper app in the market.
kernels are available in the dev section.
Perception/Cognition != Samsung Froyo.
I'd prefer to keep my phone as close to stock as possible, I'll take any Captivate-adapted Samsung ROM without bloatware, even if I'd have to re-root it.
So I'm guessing everyone is into customizing and nobody is looking into getting stock roms for Captivates?

I actually prefer the stock roms for the captivate. I used to flash new roms every couple of days, but really I found one thing or another I didn't like about them.
So here's to hoping our official froyo is not far off.

Same here.............last night I decided to flash the Froyo Leak from DG, root and sideload it. I forgot how great the battery life was on my phone with AT&T ROM's. Moderate use and I was at 62% with 16 hours use.
Now if I could just find the stock lock that will work for JI6 and some more minors tweaks.
yeah i rooted/S-OFF'ed my phone and the custom roms look great but they most have minor problems right now and i kinda wanted everything to work right now but i want the OC kernel. do you guys think its ok to flash one of those kernels with a stock T-mob USA Rom?
I just got my infuse 4G yesterday and i have been trying to find the same firmware that is on the Att Samsung Galaxy S2. I have just learned how to use odin, and thats all i know how to get roms on my device.
Can anyone give me a working Samsung galaxy S2 rom that is able to be used on odin.
Currently i have
Firmware: 2.3.3
Gingerbread. UXKG3
Kernal: 2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622
Baseband: I997RUXKG3
I downloaded this from Rom Manager i think, the phone has a signal but it has no data.
Also everytime i try to install a rom using the ROM MANAGER the screen begins to look like a tv with a whole bunch of colors and it just reboots with no success at.
I ever got to install the 2.3.5 gingerbread for the infuse 4G but keep getting a #*999* email error and i dont know how to fix that.
Can someone point in the right direct step by step
The Infuse can't run Galaxy S2 ROM's. It can run Galaxy S (I9000/Captivate) ROM's using the Hellraiser patch and kernel. There are several ROM's to choose from in the Infuse development section of the forum, including both Infuse ROM's and Galaxy S ROM's already modified to work on the Infuse.

Ok so how about this.
Do you know where i can get a list of roms that work on Odin for the Samsung Infuse 4G, because that seems to be the only way i know how to install roms on the device.
ok to use odin means you cant flash hellraiser. that means if you dont see the firmware in this forum in a .tar you cant use it the way you are describing. basically all the odin roms here are return to stock packages(so far)
however if you flash a voodoo kernel or otherwise get cwm you can use cwm to flash any 2.3.3-2.3.5 rom in the gsm type galaxy s forums (not cdma) as long as you immediately flash the hellraiser package over it,. dont reboot the phone till after both the rom and hellraiser are both flashed!. many of these roms have heavy sgs2 theming. look especially in the captivate, vibrant and i9000 sections. do not flash anything for the i9003, epic, facinate (unless it's telus which is more like a vibrant), mezmerize or other.
Well, I just spent 6 hours trying to root my .629 droid global 2, I did it. I was wondering where can I get a list of kernels I can use with stock 2.3.4? OR can I even do this? Sorry I spent hours looking online for kernels and I couldn't find anything. I did own a optimus 1 and have some experience with this stuff but is it much different than going into recovery and flashing the kernel?
In fact if someone would be nice enough to convince me to get a rom, this would be much easier. but after looking into it, it seems ridiculously hard to put a rom on these things unless someone can tell me different? I'm looking for something like CM 7 because that was what I was used to on my LG O1. Unless the stock rom on this right now would get me better battery than the CM 7? Thank you in advance.
Nowhere.
There are no custom kernels.
The bootloader is locked and encrypted.
You cannot install a custom kernel.
There are custom ROMs though and they don't really need a lot of work to install.

isnt the bootloader bypassed by boostrapper/rom manager?
I was just about to install CM7 after reading your post and another member was saying it won't work because I'm on GSM and I need to flash to froyo and then to cm7?
if you need to band unlock http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...d and Band unlock Droid 2 Global with 629 ROM
if you just need a rom that works well, with gsm
I'll add link http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8951-gsm-data-status-for-various-roms/

since no one was able to help me with this problem, i figured a workaround would be to install the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 stock 4.1.2 rom on the skyrocket, which is a supported device for the ISIS system.
so is there a way i can flash the stock t989 rom on the i727?
i don't care about losing some functionality, like lte, as the flash will only be temporary. i'll switch back to i727 when i need to.
if someone can please provide me a guide on how to accomplish this, i'll really appreciate it.
thanks!

From my experience I've read some of the guide and they haven't worked out to well.
I suggest the following.
Install T989 recovery to avoid modifying settings
Do all the wipes like usual, flash T989 ROM
Flash the stock skyrocket kernel that matches the T989 rom that you're flashing.
I've had good success flashing skyrocket modem (LTE worked like usual)
The above gave me, a not perfect, but best experience, a working ROM and more importantly a working camera. Rotation fix didn't fix everything so I suggest the above.

Hi OP, I bought an i727 and started to wonder about the same thing. And I'm on T-mo. So did drago's method work for you? Thanks
i actually didn't try it out to be honest. got an S4 shortly after.
