Hi there.
I want to flash fast custom kernel for my captivate 2.2 official froyo (AT&T). My captivate is very slow and having much lags. I didnt install any lagfix.
I want to install Custom kernel using SGS Kernel Flasher. My captivate is fully rooted.
Firmware is 2.2
Baseband Version: I897UCKB1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FROYO.UCKB1
AT&T Samsung Captivate
Can someone explain android version versus kernel version? I see there is an updated AT&T stock rooted 2.3.6 flashable zip I can download from the forum. It isn't clear if it's the Kernel or the version of Android. What would be the difference with the 2.3.6 from my stock 2.3.5?
My Rogers i727R says it's Android version 2.3.5 and kernel version 2.6.35.11. From what I understand, the AT&T was also 2.3.5 and kernel version 2.6.35.11. So if I understand this update correctly, it updates the entire OK, therefore it is a ROM, not a kernel, correct?
If this is correct, why did not update the kernel to 2.3.6, or is there no such thing?
Yes its a rom. Android gingerbread version 2.3.6 that is the android version the kernel version of this rom is still 2.6.35.11 im not sure what differences there are on this rom it was an ota update we got a few days ago. And the kernel and android version are not the same. I dont believe the kernel version number , and android version are ever the same
The kernel number is the Linux kernel version that the Android build is based off of, and barring some highly unusual set of circumstances, won't happen to overlap.

Hello XDA
I'm a little new to the whole android scene and I ( stupidly ) bought a Galaxy S2 I9100G version not knowing it would have lower performance and much harder to upgrade to ICS so I have a few questions because I want to manually upgrade it to ICS 4.0.3 and Kies doesn't work at all so my question is:
What does the basebands differ from one to another and if I'm to install an official update to my "I9100GDZKH5" which firmware should I install to be suitable to it.
or should I choose it based on the kernel version whick is "2.6.15.7 [email protected] #2"
BTW I live in Egypt and the official ICS firmware still hasn't come out

Try Flashing a Custom ROM. In order to do this you will have to Root your phone and your phone will get warranty void. The decision lies upon you.

Thanks for your reply starbriganza but I'm trying to find a way to manually install official firmware and all I need to know is how to pick the appropriate firmware for my Galaxy S2

Samsung has officially released ICS 4.0.4 now. You can google it and install it via odin. Just put the downloaded .tar file in the PDA section and flash it.

Hi all,
I've recently purchased an AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G but it came with factory stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 installed. I need to have stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed instead. (for device testing)
I've found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193927 that talks about downgrading to 2.3.3 but it's for a Rogers handset - if I followed this tutorial would I run into problems with my AT&T unit?
I would love to get some help on this one, there's a ton of resources available on this site but apart from the thread linked above, nothing quite specific enough for me.
Here's some more information on the phone:
Model number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I997
Firmware version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: I997UCLB3
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I997UCLB3-CL977492
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UCLB3
The very first gingerbread stock ROM released for the infuse was 2.3.6. A stock 2.3.3 does not exist.

2.3.6 UCLB3 is the only official stock GB for the Infuse.
2.3.3 is Canada Roger's Carrier. If you're on ATT, there is really no point in flashing it to 2.3.3 - unless of course, you are selling it to a Canadian. Even if you are selling it to a Canadian, just change the APN to Roger's.
2.3.6 has better video than 2.3.3
