This is strange my phone says
PDA: I897UCjH7
Phone: I897UCjH3
CSC: I897ATTjF6
Don't ask me how that happened lol must have been through the many sre changes but that is what the phone is reporting. I used the SGS Toolbox app to retrieve this information.
Is this an issue to have the pda as jh7 and the phone as jh3. If so then how do I get it back?

no this isn't an issue, and what you probably did is ODIN'd JF6, then ODIN'd JH3, and then either did a nandroid to something based on JH7. no this doesn't matter. the only way you can change phone or csc is through odin
edit: should also add, this is the WRONG section. this isn't development related, please post in general or Q&A
This was regarding an SRE issue but I forgot to state that and did post this in the SRE thread but it got lost. There was no nandroid restore involved with this. This was a master clear to jf6 then jh3. I did have a jh7 on the phone at one point but that was before the master clear.

either way, short answer is "PDA" can be changed through things that aren't Odin, "PHONE" cannot, and "CSC" cannot either (I think, haven't tested). it still doesn't matter if you got "ignored" in the SRE thread, this isn't development related and doesn't belong in this forum. you could keep asking in SRE until you get an answer or ask in general or Q&A next time.
Fine then report post to mod and have it moved over to QA. Or you can have the whole post deleted.

I'm not going to report you for making a mistake, I'm informing you for future reference. Your question has been answered, but the NEXT time you have an issue, consider if it's best to have it addressed in the thread of where the issue cropped up (you might get ignored, but that's the name of the game sometimes) OR to post it under general or Q&A (since it's a question after all not related to the development of android on the Captivate)

ok, i tried the method posted on samfirmware.com
flashing the jm8 with repartition 512 pit, then doing pit803 jpm with reorient kernel. the issue is whenever i do sd reformat/data wipe, i get some errors during bootup (red lines saying unable to datawipe or something). i went ahead and flashed the jpm with 803, but then i get more errors during data wipe/sd reformat. is there a specific method for flashing JPM with reorient kernel for captivate users? thanks guys.

a) wrong section
b) search is your friend, reaver117 made a very detailed instruction set of how to run i9000 firmwares on our phone, and it's still applicable
c) if you can't figure out a and b on your own, maybe you should stick to captivate firmwares

Not really, he's just tired of people asking the same questions daily, not searching or reading anything, and making their own thread (especially in the wrong subtopic).

lol I would love to know where the "troll" in my post was. I told you to take care of it yourself and pointed you in the right direction. I've seen your posts here and there, and, to be quite honest, they're usually "can be solved by a simple search after 30 seconds."
People ask dumb questions everyday, I actually took the time to be a tad bit civil to you. I don't have to baby you through it when you should be able to take care of it yourself. Whatever, I'm done with this thread and I'll be sure to not help you again.
(MODS, PLEASE MOVE TO Q&A)Sticky Guide for flashing custom ROMs has a broken link?
The top sticky for flashing a custom ROM has a broken link to the ODIN file I need to download. Do you guys know where I can find it now?
Try posting in the Q&A section, I'm not at my home computer right now but if your question still isn't answered by 4:00 I'll give you my link.

Do not post questions in the Development forum. That is why there is a Q&A forum.
If your phone has the 3-button issue, use this one. Otherwise, use this one.
The links in both of those threads should be active.
I have never rooted or flashed my Cappy, so I'm still on stock 2.1. Also, I have never had any issues with the 3 buttons on my device, but briefly looking at the "3-button issue" thread, that appears to be a problem only with people who have already flashed their phones, not anyone with a stock unit. So, if I wanted to root/flash my phone for the first time using the sticky thread tutorial, I would want to use the ODIN link in this thread: "[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY".

Yes, you will want to use the one from the second thread that I posted. Also, look underneath your battery. There will be a four number code (1007, 1008, etc.). What's the code on yours?
between the S/N and SKU the 4 digit number is: 1012, thena short bar code, then it says REV0.4
O wait, I only need to use ODIN if I'm not on a stock 2.1 unrooted Captivate, right?

Don't use 1 click on that build. Or you will be a sad panda.
Edit: correct no reason to flash stock from stock.
Would I be right in assuming that one-click ODIN puts an older version of the stock ROM on my phone, and I don't need to use ODIN at all because I'm not rooted and still on the stock ROM?

That assumption would be correct.
But as stated above. Never use the Odin 1 click that I posted earlier. You will indeed be a "sad panda". Your phone will be bricked.
Anyway, wait for someone else to come along and tell you which Odin to use. I'm not sure myself which one you need for your phone.
But regardless, for your first flash, you shouldn't need to wipe your phone.
Sorry about not posting this in the original thread but I don't have enough posts to post in the dev forum (requires 10)
Anyways, I wanted to know what the following means;
"Do not use this if you know you flashed a -LOW- ODIN package (when opening the PDA***.tar or CODE***.tar you will find inside boot.bin or sbl.bin)"
Is the last part the instruction that will tell me if I have done a -LOW- ODIN?
Thanks
Jerry
Anyone? Please? I cannot post in the dev forum and search has not worked for me for a couple of days?
The easiest way to think of it is, have you ever flashed your phone via Odin this way?
Ah, okay so if I had I would know, so then for me the answer is no, I have only used the normal odin to return to JF6.
Thanks
Jerry
I flashed the Overcome ROM 2.3.3 and after reboot my tab no longer recognizes my SIM. I had the SIM out while flashing. any ideas?
Did you flash a modem? If not do so. And please post in correct section. Question go in Q/A section

I laughed before I realized the thread likely got moved after you posted... At least I hope so.
Back on topic... Are you certain you flashed the correct modem. As far as I have heard that is the only thing that really can prevent the tab from seeing the card.
Yea I saw it was moved. Sorry for wrong area.
I flashed jk3 modem since it looked like the correct modem for my att tab. But that was just frim reading the forums. If there is a better choice for a modem I will be happy to flash that. I tried several different sim cards too and it didn't recognize any of them.
I just had to warranty my original Cappy because of a power button issue. It came stock with 2.1 Eclair and I never had any issues rooting/flashing/ or otherwise messing with it.
The "new" one I have has 2.2 Stock on it, is there anything different about what I need to do? Will ODIN 1-click bring it back to 2.1 without much hassle?
I looked for over an hour and couldn't find any specific answer.
Thanks for the time,

This is the Development Section, you should've posted this on the Q&A Section instead.
I just had to replace mine last week, just do as you did on eclair rooting was same as was installing an updated ROM
with only 21 posts I think we can forgive a post in the wrong section
When I upgraded (way back when) to the official Froyo 2.2 through Kies, just to check it out, I could only get it rooted through this...View attachment SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse.zip
Or you could just flash a rooted Dev Kernel through Odin.

I cant verify this but i did have trouble as well re-rooting it after i did the kies update so i just flashed JF6 with odin one click and then re rooted it and its been fine every since. Im not sure what att did but this KB1 through kies sure made it hard to re root when i did the update and i wasnt impressed by it either(go figure). I hope that helps. I do know that odin one click to JF6 will just about fix everything or if your having trouble rooting with the 2.2 KB1

Yes everyone it does belong in QA and I am sure it will get moved.
To answer your question about 2.1, becareful and have a read through this thread in relation to my experiences with an 1104 build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105776&highlight=1104 downgrading with JF6 was bad juju
---My opinion follows as this is what worked for me -----
I would just flash to 2.3.3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
Or just the stock AT&T boot loaders from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129821
Then go about loading your desired kernel/rom combinations
