Ursa minor is specifically made for the andromeda rom so I would advise using their kernel. I've been running it for months and love it.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

Excellent video tutorial. Did my first custom rom today after using the ursa minor menu to mount the phone and copy the compressed rom onto the phone then installed it. Worked like a champ!

Trying different roms now! Ahhhh the freedom . . .

HELP!

So my captivate is currently stuck in the PHONE--!--PC part.

What I did was because I didn't have 3button fix, I got into download mode with adb command,
now its stuck in PHONE--!--PC and my computer doesn't recognized my device.
I've already tried uninstalling & reinstalling the usb driver a few times, and tried all the screen turn black twice a few times already, none of them works!

What should I do?!?!

Hello.
I installed Ursa Minor from your instructions but my recovery is not ok.
I dont have the option : install from sd card
The recovery was flashed from ROM Manager application but it is not ok.
How can I flash another recovery?

This is not helpfull at all sorry.
I flashed a .md5 file with a BL with Odin but the only thing that has changed is that now I have another additional screen with AT&T before the screen with Ursa Minor...
But still no option for installing from sdcard in the recovery menu.
It seems that my recovery cannot be overwritten from Odin...

Update, today I tried to take a Photo and my Camera is not working!
I get a message: Camera Failed.
Info about what its running on my phone:

Model number: GT-I9010
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: I9010XXJK9
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 Ursa Minor # 1
Build number: FROYO.XXJL1

Here you'll find Odin KK4 (2.3.5), which will get you on GB. Afterwards, flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26710533&postcount=1 - That will get you cwm recovery and root.

That's the standard, from there, you can get up to JB by following the ROM's instruction you want to flash.

Please help I have a big problem.
I flashed with Odin One Click to I897 GB stock for AT&T.
But I am in Europe so my phone modem is not working.
Mobile data works, I can initiate a call or receive a call, but I cannot hear or transmit any voice.
This is what I feared from the start.
Can you help me to get to a stock EUROPEAN GT-i9010 Armani pls ?
Thank you!

I believe you already found the thread about it, just need to follow the instructions in the OP.
