I pretty sure design gears has left xda. I saw a tweet from him the other day bashing xda a little. You can find him in the rootzwiki forums now :D

The problem is probably due to the version of clockwork mod. Try flashing just the version of the of the kernel of the rom first using sgs kernel flasher available in the market. Works with root. This may make your phone boot loop but it's ok. At this point pull the battery and manually boot into CWM then install illuminance. Hope this works for you.

Can anyone please upload the kernel and the rom?

Going back from ICS, I got the 1006 build which looks like won't work properly with roms based other than cappy based roms.

Try the Legend Rom. The current release is 3.7. It is very solid and stable with a stock look option. Also a huge plus is that the devs on it are still active and very helpful.

Me, too. Back from ICSSGS. Tired of the crashes.
I enjoyed Cognition v4.5.3 so much I want to try v5.2. Where is Cog v5.2? Links on page 1 don't work. Anyone....anyone....
I, too, am a Cog fan. Not to get anyone's hope high, but if you check out DG's tweeter page, you will see he wrote, "hehe, Cognition might be making a comeback soon :)". Not sure if he was joking or serious, but maybe something to look forward to.

I would expect it to be for the sgs2 when ICS hits

Funny that you guys are coming back to this dead ROM.
Sorry to anybody who sent me a PM asking for the original file; I haven't been on in a long time. I switched to Fusion, and it has been working great for the last couple of months.
I am re-uploading my instructions file which will match up with the instructions listed in the OP or here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17465567&postcount=3244
It will include everything you need to flash the ROM.

Does anybody know of any good file hosting sites that will host a zip file of 550mb? I tried filedropper, but it doesn't work.

Nevermind, I am using 4shared. 3 minutes remaining.

You have to login or create a 4shared account in order to download it. Sorry, I couldn't find anything else that would host it. If someone has a better hosting site, feel free to let me know, and I will upload it there.

Just add the beginning part of the URL.
They won't let me post links, because I don't have 10 posts yet. Hahaha.

    Instillation / Flash Instructions for Cognition 5 v2

    I had a few issues while flashing Cognition 5 v2, but I figured them out, so here is my foolproof flash / instillation method:

    1. Fully charge phone
    2. Remove SIM card and memory card from phone
    3. Place phone in download mode (I used the USB jig)
    4. Start “Odin 2.1”
    5. Connect phone to computer (using USB)
    6. Click “Start” in “Odin 2.1” to revert the phone to Android 2.1 (stock)
    7. Disconnect phone from computer (When process is complete)
    8. Place phone in USB debugging mode
    9. Connect phone to computer
    10. Click “Master Clear” in “Odin 2.1” to clear the phones memory
    11. Disconnect phone from computer (When process is complete)
    12. Place phone in download mode
    13. Start “Odin 2.3”
    14. Connect phone to computer
    15. Click “Start” in “Odin 2.3” to update the phone to Android 2.3
    16. Disconnect phone from computer (When process is complete)
    17. Connect phone to computer and enter mass storage mode
    18. Copy “Cognition 5 v2.zip” to phone, stop mass storage mode, and disconnect phone from computer
    19. Place phone in download mode
    20. Run “Odin Loader,” load “Cognition 5 v2 initial kernel” to PDA slot, and uncheck “automatically reboot”
    21. Connect phone to computer
    22. Click “Start” in “Odin Loader”
    23. Disconnect phone from computer (When process is complete)
    24. Remove and replace battery in phone
    25. Enter recovery mode (click and hold volume up, volume down, and power buttons)
    26. Navigate in Clockworkmod Recovery using up and down volume key to move, home button to select, and power button to go back
    27. Select “wipe storage” and allow to complete
    28. Select “wipe cache” and allow to complete
    29. Select “install zip from SD card” and navigate to “Cognition 5 v2.zip” and allow to complete
    30. Select “shut off phone”
    31. Remove battery, install SIM card and memory card, and replace battery
    32. Start the phone
    33. Enjoy!

    Sorry about the ridiculous number of repetitive and assumed steps, but I was trying to make it as foolproof as possible.

    Here is the link for a .zip file with all of the files mentioned in my instructions: (http)://dl.dropbox.com/u/13224352/Cognition%20Instructions.zip

    *Remove parentheses to use the link
    ** :( On 9/18/11 DropBox temporarily suspended my link for 3 days for "generating excessive traffic." So it should be back up on 9/21/11.

    Here is my experience going from Cog 4.5.3 to Cog5v2

    Windows 7 64bit / Captivate I897 early version phone from 07-18-2010

    1) Download Files
    a) from Step 1 - D/L files from the Link in step 1
    - I897UCKF1-1-Click-odin
    - Odin v1.81
    b) from Step 2 - D/L Initial Cog Kernel zip Odin version
    c) From Step 3 - D/L Cog5v2 CWM Flashable ROM

    2) Prep my Phone
    - TiBu all user apps and data
    - Connect phone to PC and copy all files from internal SD and External SD to my HD

    3) Update Phone
    3.1) Start Odin 1 click application
    3.2) put phone into D/L mode
    3.3) plug phone into PC
    3.4) Hit the start button on the 1 click odin
    3.5) set the phone down and wait until it comes back up with the Gingerbread start screen
    3.6) close odin 1-click
    3.7) unplug phone from pc
    3.8) Turn usb debugging on in phone menu
    3.9) Launch Odin v1.8.1
    3.10) put Cogv5 initial kernel into PDA slot
    3.11) Put the phone into D/L mode
    3.12) Start the kernel flash using Odin v1.8.1
    -----At this point the phone got stuck on the AT&T screen but I still had ADB access
    3.13) adb reboot recovery the phone should reboot into CWM Recovery
    3.14) adb push Cog5v2 to the internal storage
    3.15) Use CWMR to install the Cog5v2 update package
    3.16) Let the update complete and let the phone reboot
    3.17) Fully working Cog5v2

    your experience may vary but this is exactly how I updated my phone from Cogv4.5.3

    I hope this helps someone.
