I have seen a few threads about how to get into recovery mode with the captivate...but why is there no [HOW TO] thread on it? I stumbled across it tonight and flashed it with odin and man it is snappy and quick...no downsides yet besides the fact that the home button is basically just another back button. The GPS gets an IMMEDIATE fix on my EXACT location. I hope I dont sound like a moron asking this...but it has been bugging me lol

A number of us have already installed it and messed with it... it's got some okay improvements, not everyone has had the same GPS luck you've had though. On top of that some folks are still gun-shy from the JPC disaster

Well some people are claiming JPH is final... which if true- is tragic. It's snappy but rather bug-laden, just use it for a couple days, especially if you use exchange, you'll run into a rather huge bug pretty quick

unless somehow wes garner pulls a fast one and slides cyanogenmod out on us without the 2.2 source somehow

I'm more looking forward to the I9000 2.2 source than I am an official Captivate release =P They've so ineptly assembled Froyo i'd rather wait for Cyanogen or eugene to vanilla it
I have been messing with JPH for awhile, can't get good reception with it and can't seem to be able to flash a different modem.bin to it so I'm done with it for now.

You can flash the UGJH2 modem if you use the pit to map it Least that's how I did it

what I like is the proof from xcalibur about how quickly you can take an i9000 kernel and make it work with the captivate (ideally that means the kernel can be built off the same source with just slightly modified config files and repointing the differences to the proper place).
that means we could arrive at a 2.2 kernel for the Captivate (unlikely, but possible) with just the 2.2 i9000 release

well there a UGJH2 modem for the i9000 which will give you HSUPA. UCJH2 is a captivate firmware with a non-HSUPA modem (but was designed for our hardware)... JH2 from the i9000 though is from a phone that uses the same frequency as ours though I believe, so it should work the same but with HSUPA enabled
irtehun said:

i believe with 2.2 you need 513
I used the 803 pit, but I don't think it ultimately matters, and yes you MUST use the UGJH2 modem. JG8 does NOT WORK, for some reason it isn't Froyo capable but the newer JH2 one is
513 pit shouldn't be necessary for any of the new Froyos, only 512 or 803, though I'm fairly certain they both work

Yup, but in order to do so you have to flash in a Captivate kernel, use button combos to get into recovery, run the update.zip, and flash back to the JPH kernel before booting fully- it's a pain

Home key and prox sensor (screen not turning off on call) can't be resolved, they're kernel issues. Don't bother pushing files, all you'll do is cause graphical errors and touch screen problems- trust me. I know.
Put the root update on your /sdcard, flash stock captivate kernel, use button combos, install update package, then reflash JPH kernel (search the I9000 boards, they've got a thread about rooting that has a JPH kernel in it).

I also think the "JPC disaster" we're referring to was the forcing it to show up as a korean phone (and therefore unable to receive later updates) and the thrashing of the els (I think) folder which contained our unlock information. causing even carrier locked phones with the correct carrier SIM cards to be non-functional.
caught a lot of people off guard with an essentially unusable phone if they didn't have the unlock code already. basically it was a terrifying moment for a lot of i9000 users (I think even Zilch lost a phone in the process of playing with JPC?)

Im a little confused, hoping someone here can shed some light for me... what is the current firmware? can someone who knows give me a quick rundown of the versions and (if its not against forum rules) links to the firmwares? i gotta return my phone to stock but cant seem to find consistent information anywhere.
Thanks Electroz for your quick answer:
UGJG9 was the initial August 2.1 release.
UGJH2 was an updated 2.1 release.
UGJK4 was the initial December 2.2 release.
UGJL2 is the current 2.2 release.
New question: Which PIT files go with which firmwares? i got a 512, 513, and 803, not sure which ones should be used with which firmware, if anyone can clear this up for me i would greatly appreciate it.
UGJG9 was the initial August 2.1 release.
UGJH2 was an updated 2.1 release.
UGJK4 was the initial December 2.2 release.
UGJL2 is the current 2.2 release.
Any of these are considered stock firmwares and fine to have loaded for a return to Samsung.
Hope this helps!
Next question, is there a place i can get the latest firmware (not through kies), or is linking to the firmwares not allowed on this forum? doing a search for UGJL2 is not proving very successful. (or is there more i should be searching for aside from just 'UGJL2'?)
JK3 is another release and although popular was not official.
JK4 should NEVER be used. Samsung pulled it due to a very high failure rate it was causing with these phones.

ok new question, any idea which pit files are supposed to go with which firmwares?
Maybe slightly off topic but in need of help so-
I bricked my phone. Phone does not enter recovery or download. Called Bell. They are sending me a replacement. My phone was totally modded. I have two questions.
1) Can they find out that I had rooted the phone?
2) will they charge for me the replacement that they send in?

If your internal SD is dead, it's dead. No one's pulling any data off it; it's built into the motherboard.
No, they won't charge you anything. You should have actually gotten a 100$ credit for the 'inconvenience'.

Check the samfirmware.com site. They list the pit file next to firmware version. The canadian firmwares begin with i9000ug

Thanks that relieves a lot of pressure. I'm not being charged for the period of repairs. I did ask about $100. The representative said there is nothing of that sort!!!! And I don't know if my internal SD is dead..Do you think its fried?
well for me flashing the GJL2 firmware with Odin revived it, so if your not worried about trying you might give it a shot.
I just realised...it shows the I9000 screen instead of the I9000m So they can find out even before they do anything.....

Idk how much they actually check it - I assume it's kinda random so I wouldn't take any chance.
Odin3 one click does bring it to stock but having Froyo might look better and show that it wasn't just brought back to stock (along with some cache and data).

While we are on the subject, IS there a 1-click for Froyo (stock)? I ask because i've been hearing rumors of it, and i just havent had the time to investigate.
If there WASN'T a 1 click stock (froyo) then disregard my question. However, does that mean the only way to upgrade to Froyo (stock) is through CWM? I know people have been doing it through Kies, but i'm not a big fan.

Idk if there is but tbh it wouldn't be so useful as 2.2 as recovery problem which requires 3e recovery fix so makes flashing more painful.
There's although Odin 1.81 which you can flash Rogers (I896) version of Eclair (duno if there's one for 2.2 - haven't really looked into it as Kies mini works well)

there have been several threads on this
ODIN ONE CLICK (and the other) CAME FROM SAMSUNG
so YES the odin one click is STOCK. ITS WHAT THEY USE to refurb ATT phones.
there has been no ODIN one click 2.2 leaked to the net.
we dont have the source code so we cant update the 2.1
how much do they check your phone? very little. the internal guts to replace at their cost is less than 50$. They have dozens of phones from each different model come in every day. They have about 10 minutes to hook it up to a machine that runs hardware tests for them. then it gets gutted. It is not worth their time to *see* what is on the phone. They only care if it works or not. so they can move to the next phone in the bin.
stock 2.1 is fine if it came with 2.1
2.2 if it came with 2.2. there are CWM 2.2 upgrade flashes available. use rom manager/ the update.zip method of CWM to install 2.2 then delete the update.zip and rom manager app.

Hmm.. not sure which posts said that, but if you use this, it should take you back to a stock Eclair installation that will be good for returning to AT&T.

Agreed confused. Went in one time to ATT and I had a custom ROM, he asked me to convert back to stock then bring it in.

No it won't. I did it half a dozen times on my phone.
Hmmm...I am having the same issue and just got my replacement today. Shipping was very fast. I am just going to Odin 1 click back to Eclair because that is what my phone had originally. When I called tech support they asked what was on the phone so I know I will be ok. Good luck with your return.
so i have a captivate that ive had for a little while now. and of course ive flashed a few different gingerbread roms like usual.
anyways i wanted to try a froyo from so i used the odin 1 click stock tool to flash back to jf6,
that worked, but for some reason it wont allow me to master clear.
also my phone keeps switching between showing service, and a blue circle with a cross out sign....
(no internet access)
if i flash a rom over it, it starts acting like normal again
any idea whats wrong or whati can do?
thanks!

This happened on one of my old cappies that i got replaced. It was a 1008 build. It's an error in the efs folder. Did you make a backup of your efs folder before you started flashing?
If you didn't here's a method that worked for me that might get you back to normal. What i did was use Kies mini to upgrade to stock 2.2 then make sure the botton combos were working (vol up+dwn/plug usb to get to download mode, and vol up+vol dwn + power to get to recovery.) If those are working, now flash back to stock using Odin 1 click.
This wokred for me. hope it helps.
If you have your original efs folder, use Root Explorer to place the original folder ni place of the current one while on stock 2.1, then reboot to see if it worked.
What Gingerbread Roms did you "play" around with, I'm guessing you used the I9000 bootloaders also?

If you have your original efs folder, use Root Explorer to place the original folder ni place of the current one while on stock 2.1, then reboot to see if it worked.

Your going to want to flash back to eclair (imho) or froyo if you'd rather, but it will have to be done through odin without a 1 click method. If you know what I'm talking about all good. If not lemme know and I'll help ya to the links, cleaning the kitchen atm but its all good

^^^^Wtf are you talking about? Odin one click to jf6 (eclair) includes both bootloaders... Thus replacing the I9k ones...
Op if everything works after you rom it and you have no plans to go to stock does it matter?
It could just be how the phone acts with the jf6 modem as its a signal problem...
And what exactly are you doing when trying to master clear and what happens?

(i get to that by flashing stock eclair then by using mini kies)

Couple things for the Master Clear
1. Make sure to shut down Odin then restart it without the phone connected
2. If that doesn't work restart your PC
3. If all else fails, root, install ROM Manager, get into CWM and do a factory reset
Like Studacris said, Odin to JF6 flashes the proper bootloaders, so you dont need to worry there. I've done it TONS of times
Edit** Are you using this Odin?
http://www.mediafire.com/?0w2y31maz8mdom4 If not, I would HIGHLY recommend using it

Dam, bad correlation on my part. Didn't want anything going wrong with bootloaders, my self learned fault on being incoherent and half asleep, just didn't want any brick brick brickety brick bricks-as my dad laughs to me all the time. Thanks for the correction.

I'll try to follow up on what Studa was going for.

Ok, but that would be a good thing, you can just use the signal problem as an added reason for sending it in. If you can flash stock and it boots, all is well. Anything else just goes in your favor of why you deserve a new one.
Plus, if the phone stops working to the point it does not boot they will have no real way of telling what was running before, nor will they waste the time to find out. It will get tossed into the re-write pile, and go thru the paces for becoming a referb.
You do realize that the phone has to be regularly on to do a master clear and not be in download mode right?

Reflash the stock jf6 with no sim card

I'm pretty confident at modding my phone, and have basically done everything that doesn't involve messing with odin or bootloaders. However, I would like to upgrade to GB bootloaders, mainly for features in the new glitch kernel (and perhaps better performance in some way). And yes, I have searched and read many threads on this, but there are so many different options and many things seem irrelevant. I am on CM7 Glitch v13, and I'm not sure what the best path is.
First of all, what stock firmware do I go to? There are so many, and I would assume something 2.3.x. But which? And I would assume with bootloaders? Once I get there, I would be able to figure out getting CWM. I think. But I'm mainly concerned about which stock firmware to pick. Thanks!
Look for the kf1 one-click. Can't get any easier.

Ummm yes it can
You can flash the bootloaders only right over top cm7.

I've never had any luck trying that. Usually end up bootlooping.

I heard that that's what happens. By usually, do you mean it can sometimes work? How would you recover

Put phone in dl mode and flash stock. Just back everything up before you start. Some have reported that it's worked for them, but most havesended up looping. I personally have looped the last time
I tried it.

Yeah that's what I thought. I saw your posts in the ICS thread. Thanks
EDIT: But wait, do I need to go back to stock froyo first or can I go straight on to KF1?
I would go to froyo first, then the kf1. Just to be safe, and you ALWAYS want to be as safe as possible with bootloaders.

I did that, but I never went to kf1. I followed some other guide that installed speedmod and GB bootloaders, and am now back on CM7 after flashing froyo again. That was much easier than I expected.
NOW: Crap, no matter what I do, I can't get signal. I get no SIM passcode prompt, and my imei is unknown. What now?
NOW: Well it works on stock Froyo, but no connection on CM7
