hi, could someone please point me towards a thread where it is explained how to use odin to flash the kernel on the galaxy 3?
i'm trying to follow the instructions for flashing CyanogenMod 7.2 (Alpha9 - MTD) as found on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309390
i already have CyanogenMod 7.2 Alpha9 on my phone. i just can't figure out how to use odin to flash the kernel so i can then update to the MTD version. everything i've tried either does nothing or ends up with a bricked phone and i have to start over again. what version of odin should i be using? should i be using PDA or one package mode? should i be using the OPS file?
please direct me to a thread and not just an area of the site. i know what bits to look in, and i can't find the information i need. i can't ask in the CyanogenMod 7.2 (Alpha9 - MTD) thread because my post count isn't high enough to post in that bit of the forum.
Hi!
Normally we only link members to threads here....but before I worry about that, I should simply tell you that kernels from the development sections generally get flashed from your custom recovery. Not with Odin.
If I understand what you are saying, that's your problem.

In other words....please carefully read the opening posts of anything you want to flash. Instructions for flashing are almost always listed there.

OK, I see it does have a Odin flashable kernel. My mistake.
I also see you already asked about it in the Q&A section....which is exactly what I was about to advise you to do.
You will have to patient and wait for an answer there.
Also, you can look around and comment or ask questions ....making constructive posts. After 10 posts, you can post in the ROM thread also.
Good luck!
thanks, didn't mean to be impatient, but i thought maybe my original post was asking people to recover old ground, and that a request to be directed to the relevant thread would be more appropriate.
if there's a version of this kernel that is flashable from recovery, a link to that would be better yet, as i'm getting along fine with CWM recovery, whereas i'm finding odin to be confusing and temperamental.
I'm afraid I can't help further. You've found where to look and post , and that is what we do here on Assist. Nothing more I'm afraid. ?
cool, thanks for your help!
i've realised that the problem i had all along was that the zip archive containing the cyanogenmod 7 MTD version update was corrupt. i've re-downloaded that and now have the MTD version running.

hello all, I have a relatively new Samsung Captivate that is now running Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM. I bought it from someone who had put Gingerbread on it for me.
I want to get it rooted but I have no idea what I'm doing so I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKH3-CL461307
baseband version: I897UCKH3
I hope I have not made a redundant post, I've seen other posts but none of them seem to pertain to a Captivate with 2.3.4 Gingerbread.

Thank you for the quick reply, Bushido. I realised that the latest post in the link is from last year, and after skimming through it (i'll do a proper read through when i have time) I don't know if it's speaking directly to my problem. Or have I missed something?

Would this process work for my situation?
I'm not yet allowed to post links so could you just look at the following website please:

Of course, I'm asking for all this help because I am so very afraid of bricking this phone.

Hey kbolt,
you are right - the Samsung Captivate officially got Gingerbread 2.3.4 in the end of august 2011. All the root-versions I found are only approved with froyo. Have a look at this page and the links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I897
One thing you could do is flash a custom rom, which is already rooted i.e.:

When something should go wrong, you can flash back the stock rom:

Hello,
I haven't flashed since my first smart phone (HTC WING).. now Sensation 4g. So what I have done so far after much research:
S-off
CWM installed
Backup of stock made (and used..)
No firmware update (probable issue)
I have read and im inferring from the posts that since im on Gingerbread I need to do a firmware update to ICS. I would like to know however to use the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM is there yet another Firmware update I will need to install or is it not necessary at all.
I am assuming its firmware most likely but id rather not assume.
I get stuck at the splash screen advises me to pick a language and reboots constantly.
Thanks in advance.
Just bumping to ensure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
Its a kernel you'll need to run it ... go to the ROM forum your trying to install and ask or look youll find it ...

Hi, does anyone know if the connectivity issues affecting P6800 users running the latest version of the Paranoid Android ROM (2.53) also affect the WiFi only model (P6810)? I see a lot of people posting about it, but all of them are using the P6800.
Ordinarily, I would just download the stable 2.50, but goo.im says the link is bad...
Also, is the ROM pre-rooted, or do I need to root it myself in CWM?
(I'm posting here because for some reason, I can't post in the development forum where the thread is).
Thread moved to Q & A section.
I'm using my own build pa v2.55 on my p6800. The wifi and gps issues seems fixed. p6810 and p6800 is almost identical in the device tree content. I think the same thing may apply to p6810.
I think Androguide's v2.55rom is coming very soon. Try it...
---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------
one more question forgot to answer.
The pa rom is already rooted. You don't have to do it in CWM.
hello guys new to this thread but trust me i've been looking and reading and cant find anything to do with my problem so...
anyway some background im running the latest twrp and cromi-x 5.4 deodex on the tf700 and im also on the latest firmware.
so heres my problem,I use textnow and textfree alot,so much so that I buy minutes on a monthly basis,well once I unlocked and installed this rom it seems I cant make calls anymore on textnow-which I have about 4000 minutes left on...but heres the thing,when I open rom toolbox pro and tick the app manager tab and click textnow icon,I notice that in permissions the "able to make outgoing and recieve incoming calls" permission isnt allowed...Im not really that technical but I tried what i could as far as Running a "fix permissions" script for the app itself and i also ran one system wide....I wish i could get a reply from someone who knows how to fix this situation because its really bugging me and i dont want to revert back to stock cause that sucks and Crombi-KK doesnt have the Xloud or Noozoxide mods which I actually do appreciate so much.
also am i supposed to know that browser2ram is running like in supersu or does it run in the background default? because i definitely do not get any notification from supersu that its even running( no grant notifications or anything)

Hi there! And welcome to XDA. ?
I'm afraid you're asking very ROM specific questions. And you also know what I would suggest off the bat.....flash stock and see if it works.
This is the ROM thread I believe you are using. The guys in that thread know the device better than anyone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492&page=594
Now I see you don't have the 10 post minimum to ask your questions in a dev section forum, so my advice is to browse through the tf700 section and post some meaningful and constructive posts and/or comments on threads that interest you in the General and Q&A sections. Once you have 10 posts....you're good to go to post in the ROM thread. Just don't post anything to get your 10 post count though, or you will probably have them deleted by moderator.
Here's the tf700 section...

Perhaps post a question about browser to ram in Q&A....if you don't see any other threads on it first. If so, ask there.
A good way to get a couple posts in.

Also searched and found an older thread, but has some browser to ram info directly related to your device.

im sorry how do i do that...flash stock,can i still keep the sound mods like xloud,noozoxide?
I found a complete guide for your device. Scroll down through the opening post and there's a return to stock section. This guide has a LOT of great how to's!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
As far as the mods go, you'd need to root again after returning to stock and see if the mods work with stock. If not, the guide covers flashing ROMs....you'd have to flash whatever is necessary to run the mods.
?
I'm curious about updating to CM11 M12. Is it as easy as just downloading then installing from settings? Will I have to update Gapps or anything? Will I lose data from this?
Thanks
Hi,
You would need to follow whatever the instructions are for the rom basically. Without knowing your device, I have no where to point you.
But follow what the instructions are. Yes, you will likely need gapps that match the Android version of the rom. And I'm not sure what you mean by update from settings.
The best advice I can give you is to register on XDA and ask for any help you may need in your devices Q&A section.
Good luck!

Oh, and data. It's likely best to clean flash the new rom, as it's a big step up. You can backup your apps and their data with titanium backup.
And always do a nandroid backup from recovery before you do anything.... In case you have issues and need to restore. ?
Thank you. Thread closed.
