Can't use LBSTESTMODE - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed Cognition (SREv2) last night and I can't seem to use the LBSTESTMODE to test my gps or alter my setting within it, any help?

It won't work because you are now using JH7 vs JF6. This only works with JF6. Look at your phone info and you will see your baseband version has changed with the use of the Cognition ROM.

So you are saying that I need to figure out the way to access it from I9000GJH2 other than the stock version?

Launcher pro long press select activities then lbtest or adw has the same
There is also an application on here called sgstoolbox

[Q] Please Help neewby

ok, so i downloaded a stock froyo Rom i897ucji6-ocd-rev02 low, and the son of a gun works perfectly. Problem, i want to flash a custom rom from cognition but the instructions say to flash back to your stock rom which for me would be 2.1.1 becasue i have a samsung captivate from att, i cannot get back to 2.1.1, tried using odin master clear nothing changed, could the reason i cannot get back to 2.1.1 is because i deleted the att bloatware? and is there a download that will bring my phone back to 2.1.1? if not i can live with the froyo 2.2 stock. and one more thing Please can some all knowing developer create a program (app) to allow the att captivate (god love em) download after market apps.

Master clear does not bring you back to stock. You are using the wrong aspect of the odin program

[Q] didn't do master clear before flashing, a problem?

moved from COG 3.03 to PER 10.2
due to problems with odin, didn't use it to do a return to 2.1 and master clear the captivate
but used a 2.1 rom and flashed it using CWM
then moved with CWM to PER 10.2, without a master clear done
is this going to be a problem?
I just went from Phoenix 2.0 to Cog 3.04 the same way. no issue so far.
Should not be

I've gone back and forth from stock to rogers froyo to stock to cog, to percep, to darky, to di11igafs to phoenix, to stock to jh7 to stock to jh7 to cog to percep to <insert random names 16 times here> and only master cleared once. Just back up everything in your EFS folder with super manager (enable root function in the options first) and save those in a few locations (including PC) before you get too flash happy and end up with some borked IMEI number. Like me. lol.
So it would be ok to flash a 2.1 rom (any?) through cwm then flash 2.2 or 2.2.1 roms? That would eliminate Odin and the need to connect to a computer.

[Q] Android Market Web Store -- working on your rooted Cap?

Hey everyone. Got really excited about the Android Market Web Store's pushing app downloads to phone feature. So I went ahead and tested it out on four separate apps -- no dice.
My "Android Market Settings" page shows that the download was successful, but nothing happened on the phone end. Now, I've flashed tons of roms onto my phones, but I'm no CS major, so I could just have a boned up configuration.
I'm wondering if anyone had luck using the web store with their rooted Captivates with custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance!

I'm using the exact same kernel & modem, the only difference is that I am running the Phoenix 4.5 ROM. You said the push seemed to work then nothing happened? Can you elaborate a bit more. Did you have a chose of device to choose from? Make sure you also use the same account that logs into the market on your phone.
I am having the same issue. I am able to sign in and initiate a download but nothing gets pushed to the phone. I receive no errors and it does recognize that I have SGH-I897 on that account. What gives?
Same problem here. Sign it, choose phone, hit install ... nothing happens.

Works great on mine running Serendipity 4.3.
I'm rooted with Speedmod kernel on stock Rogers Froyo. I chose an app from my browser and it installed successfully over both wifi and data connection.
I'm running Serendipity 5.1 with speedmod k12t and I'm not having any problems with it.
Argh. So maybe it's the GingerborgMOD rom? What about market version? I currently have 2.2.11
Worked perfectly without needing to do anything here.

I'm running Market version 2.2.11 also, and its working... maybe try clearing Market data?
Quick update here before I gotta head out for work.
I did a master clear / Odin flash back to stock 2.1. The market web store push feature worked on the stock set up, of course, so from there I rooted and re-installed Gingerborg. The push continued to work after the flash to the new rom.
I think what I may have done was ran a wipe/master clear -after- flashing to stock, which may have nixed some OTA update or setting that would allow the web store push feature. Completely uneducated and speculative guess, but one thing I did notice before flashing to stock again was that I didn't have GTalk in my apps drawer. I'd get notices that someone had sent me a message, but when I'd touch the notification, it wouldn't open the app either.
So it could have been that when I ran the master clear, it pulled a bunch of stock Google applications off my phone, which for whatever reason weren't registered with my Titanium Backup files.
Long story short, Custom Rom > Master Clear > Stock > Tried Web Store Push once > One Click Root > Flash new custom rom seemed to work for me.
Cog 3.04, speedmod kernel and jl2 modem.. I can dl fine.. Only one wierd thing. Sometimes I ha e to manually switch to gsm only on metworl for it to download. Or place it in airplane mode then turn it off and it worlks fine

I upgraded Phoenix from 4.1 to 4.5 last night and it's still not working for me. I didn't flash to stock though, just a straight upgrade. Perhaps I'll try flashing stock tonight and see what happens.
I just tested it, and it successfully pushed and installed an app to my phone.

Replacement AT&T Captivate has baseband I897UCKB2

I got a replacement Captivate from AT&T and I just noticed it has a Froyo baseband version of I897UCKB2 loaded. Googled and searched XDA for any references to this version. It is also weird that the label under battery was replaced as well. Looks like a homemade label printed on white. Supposedly build 1010. Anyone received anything like this?
Yes, there was a thread about this a few weeks ago. Nobody knows what's the difference between KB1 and KB2. As for the sticker, I think that's normal for refurbs.
With KF1 Gingerbread already leaked out, who cares about KB2 Froyo.
You right. Time to move forward. Thanks for the info. I'm ready for a tasty ice cream treat.

Looks like the same old 3G speeds. No HSUPA or unlocked sideloading. GPS is an improvement from my previous replacement. Locking indoors sometimes and accuracy holding mostly at 15 feet when moving. Previous model was only never got better than 30 feet and stayed at 90 mostly. GPS was redirecting all the time as it thought I was on adjacent streets. About to go to Gingerbread.

I have AIO for my old Captivate. shortfuse.org was down when i went to get Superoneclick. I see now its up, but it does not have a download yet. Any one have a mirror of it?
Edit: i see the links in the original thread for Superoneclick. Ill post back with my results.
I used Superoneclick to root the kb2 and enable sideloading. I assume this rom is just "bug fixes" and of course the signed boot loader. Flashed gingerbread following Cog 5 beta 3 tread. Of course once I got all apps loaded DG posted Cog 5 v1.

Hey There ...
I received my replacement with KB1 and its an 1101 (date code) and not able to go to "Stock JF6" so my stock is KB1 ! NP there tho.
Just received my wife's replacement with KB2 ... 1010 (date code) not sure if it can do JF6 ! Im assuming not. Not gonna chance it anyway. I already messed up a 1101 trying to go to JF6. Lost 3 button recovery, download mode ... blah, blah !
So Im not going to try it. Her 1010 is working fantastic right out of the box. GPS, everything.
Now for the question
Im not finding a stock KB2 ROM (odin or other)
Does anyone know and/or have tried to go stock KB1 from KB2 ?
Any issues I should be aware of ?
Thanks Guys !
I do believe that the KB2 build is a pathetic attempt to slow people down with modding.

I believe it is their way to know if you flashed anything else when asking for a replacement. There is no way to get "stock" KB2 back - what came on that serial number phone - "No warranty for you..."

Thats what I am thinking as well !
What Im wondering now ... as I do not have much experience with ROM Manager ! Can I do a Rom backup, do whatever (load custom ROM's) then if needed load the Backed up ROM ? I know I would have to root ... But cant you un-root then do a factory reset after uninstalling ROM Manager, super user, etc ... ?
Just wondering
I can't exactly remember if my last replacement had KB2 or KB1. I'm almost positive it was KB1, though. It didn't have 3 button combos.
Anyway, I used a Jig to get to Download mode, flashed JF6, and went back to modding as usual.
Maybe the Download Mode Jig is the key so you can flash with ODIN or Heimdall from download mode.

I have no issue with the button combos (DL mode or recovery) ... I also have a jig. The problem is with (I believe) models 1010 and higher, have issues with JF6. So FJ6 is not an option. Which is not a deal. I can get to stock KB1 no problems !
The question is ... Since there does not seem to be a "stock" KB2 Rom. Can I make a backup with ROM Manager of the KB2 ... then (if needed) revert back later ?
As stated before ... ATT knows that the phone was shipped with KB2 ... and sending it back (if need) with KB1 may not fly !
There does not appear to be an update or ROM that I have seen.
Similar to the JH7 update ...

Flashing back the backup from CWM recovery (started from ROM manager, perhaps) will put you back to KB2. The only problem is that the modem (baseband) will not revert back to KB2. That will have to be flashed separately (after extracting and inserting your current KB2 modem). This is how you would backup your current KB2 modem (type this at the shell prompt; assuming you haven't changed ROMs already!):
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
Insert the above modem.bin into any working CWM zip modem file and flash.
You might also want to backup your kernel using the SGS kernel flasher.

[Q] Home screen completely gone.

I have the captivate from rogers (canadian SGH-I896)
It is running KH2 (RWC) firm ware according to Kies.
I rooted the phone and was uninstalling some bloatware via titanium backup
when I musta removed something unholy.
As when I tried to close titanium backup I had no home screen at all. Upon reboot I still have no home screen. I still ahve the notification menu pull down.
When I receive a txt I can type and reply to it but I can do nothing that involves the homescreen it is completely blank.
I tried to factory reset the phone but it did not fix the issue. I tried searching and could not find anyone who had the same problem.
Any advice?
EDIT - I followed this link (Samsung Galaxy S APK List)with respect to uninstalling the bloatware:
But, as it was not rogers specific I removed all the rogers stuff (Account, ring back, etc) I also did remove Y! Finance clock which I have now read was also a bad idea.
There might be an easier way but I would try flashing a new rom. Or flashing back to stock using Odin or heimdall. Do you have a custom recovery?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
I was using the stock ROM from kies. And I had no flash back up or anything to fix my phone (which in the future I will make sure I do!)
When I try to reflash my ROM using kies it says I already have the newest one. so I reckon I will have to download the stock rom from somewhere else and flash it my self?
Should I go back words to Eclair and then reflash using keis to gingerbread?
I wouldn't worry with kies. There is a heimdall one click that will take you back to stock froyo or gingerbread ( your choice) and will already be rooted and I'm pretty sure it removes bloat ware. Just download it to your computer. Put your phone into download mode hook it up and run the program.
