I have been trying to resolve this issue for a day now. I flashed to 2.2 Froyo, unlocked and rooted my Stock Rogers Samsung Captivate. Everything is working fine, I started downloaded all my favourite apps back when I had stock firmware. A few hours into using my phone, I noticed apps that I used to be able to find weren't showing up. I am not sure if it is related, but I noticed this after removing bloatware with titanium backup.
I installed following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861103
After searching forums for hours, the solution seemed simple, modifying a line of code in the build.prop file and overwriting the old one. I have tried this one:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys
with no luck. I decided to reflash the 2.2 rom as I assumed removing the bloat ware was the cause, but I am still having the same market issues.
I am not sure where to go from here, did anyone experience similar problems? Any possible solutions? I really want DBZ scouter back

I got the Cognition files and the Odin standalone, but I'm confused as to where to get the other files
• PIT.pit
• PDA.tar
• PHONE.tar
• CSC.tar
I can't find the download link on the thread

Cognition has had this since the first release
Im trying to find the Cognition Odin install but its not on the site, the site only has the ROM files. I would ideally want to install with rom manage as it would be a lot easier but my market is so messed up its not even showing up when i search it.

you dont need to install rom manager
put the update.zip on your sdcard and reboot to recovery....
reinstall packages (it will reboot, just reinstall packages again)
you will now be in clockwork
install zip from sdcard, and point to the rom

Thank you so much for the zip file, everything went smoothly. I liked the voice telling me how much time each process would take. However, when I searched the app store for DBZ scouter it still cant find it, or any other paid apps! This is getting really frustrating. Should I give it a few minutes/hours for the paids apps to show up? I am enjoying the rom though, very smooth compared to the stock ones.
It looks like I'm not the only one

I guess it was just a coincidence that this happened the same time I unlocked my phone.. heh. Well now I can finally go back to studying for exams
Moved to Q&A.
Hello people !
Since I'm living in Tokyo, I'm the happy owner of a Galaxy S, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be exactly the same like the other devices.
Anyway, since 2 days ago, I had some fun (and cold sweat also) trying to root it, unbloat it, etc... Some difficulties and questions left without answers, so if anyone has a guess, please be my guest !
My phone as I got it :
SC-02B, with OMJJ1 firmware (Froyo 2.2)
1) Rooting
The easiest thing ever.
The SuperOneClick pack did a wonderful job.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2) Getting a "safe" firmware
Just in case anything would go wrong, I wanted to be able to flash back to an official firmware.
The ones from this post work without any problem so far.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10558974&postcount=134
However, problem 1 : I couldn't get Heimdall flash my device. Since I'm mainly working on Linux and OSX, that would have been of a great help.
But the "handshaking with Loke" step is always failing...
Actually, I even though I had bricked the phone, since I was stucked with a black screen (1PC and 1GSM in orange) and it took me ages to figure out how to get rid of that.
Solution : get myself a Win 7 computer at office and use Odin. No problem so far with this one.
Problem 2 :after flashing with the official update, I get complains in the recovery mode (when unpacking the apps I think), saying that /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 cannot be mounted, because it does not exist.
After searching on japanese sites, it seems that there is a 3rd partition in addition to the one for /sdcard and /data that is used (as far as I know, only for that) by an app called DioDict (japanese / english dictionary).
Not that this is a great loss, but I don't know where and why this 3rd partition was deleted. I tried to restore one, but after a while I just gave up, since I don't have any dump of the data that was there anyway...
Could anybody confirm/infirm this ???
3) Recovery 2e
Since I wanted to test to other roms, I needed to get back to the recovery 2e.
I gave a try to CF-root, which included that also.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Once again, Odin was the only one that could do the job, Heimdall still ignores me.
Problem : the update is successfully done, but for a reason I ignore, I lose my SIM card in the process.
Flashing back an official ROM makes it available again, but CF-root won't allow me to phone in Japan.
How did you people handle that ? Unfortunately I couldn't afford staying too long without a working phone, so I didn't investigate much further, but did other people have the same kind of problem ?
Conclusion :
As of now, I have a rooted device, and am pretty happy with it.
However, I wish I could give a try to the nice work I've seen around (CyanogenMod on Galaxy S seemed very yummy), while still being able to use my SIM card here.
Any feedback is welcome !
I haven't played around that much with DioDict to tell you right away how to solve this, but maybe there's some answer getting the first firmware:
SC02BOMJJ1 (10/10/13) :
http://fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_...2BDCMJJ1_SC02BOMJJ1_SC02BOMJJ1_OM_DCM.zip.enc
BINARY_ENCRYPT_STRING 1662317
thanks a lot for this link ! just a question, where did you guys find them ??? the site itself seems very dummy
but as far as I could read on japanese threads, that seems to be some prefab settings
in my case, that third partition has been deleted, so I think I would have to recreate again beforehand.
as for the "how", I must confess I don't know... I' had somehow succeeded in running parted to create one, but for a reason I ignore couldn't assign it to the block
I could install a Cyanogen Beta3 today, and though everything is alright, still got no 3G.
SIM card is not recognized, and it seems impossible to input the appropriate APN information. Could it be that the modem embedded in the SC-02B is different from the mainstream one ?
EDIT : seems that indeed the SC-02B has a different modem. At least the firmware has a different size, hence the need of a different PIT file when you flash from an "international" ROM.
I'm starting to wonder whether I'll see the end of it someday >_<
things that seem to work
Now that we have the capability to recover after we trash our ROM what can we do.
Super Oneclick root - works
Z4Mod "because we all have the need for speed" -works after you use titanium backup to remove some of the bloat-ware from /system
Z4Control works if you use Z4Mod to patch the kernel and convert /data to ext2 first.
The UOTKitchen will work to change the battery icon and other status bar icons if after you have completed these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9318973&postcount=1290 you extract the framework-res.apk from the resulting zip file and use adb to push the new framework-res.apk to /system/framework/framework-res.apk followed by an adb reboot recovery command before you do anything with the phone. From the recovery menu wipe cache and then reboot now. If you don't do this last step it could lead to having to reflash the factory firmware happened to me about 6 times this weekend. DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T CLEARED ENOUGH SPACE ON /SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WILL KILL YOUR PHONE!!!!!
For all those who want a pit file, here I leave you a custom pit file created for the sc-02b.
I must make this clear, this PIT file was made for those who flashed their devices with a rom for some other galaxy s version and want to reflash their devices back to the original SC02BOMJJ1 rom. I cannot ensure you it will be useful or that it will work for anything else.
Also, when using this PIT file with odin, be sure to check the "Re-partition".
@shikigamild :
is this PIT file the same that came from komugi.net ?
at the same time, could you tell me how you got the stock rom file links please ?
@dejanet :
so you say that with the Z4mod you have a fully working device ?
has anyone tried the CF-root package ? after applying it I lost my SIM card, so I wonder if you experimented the same kind of inconvenient there
Oh yes went through all of the fun of trying the various kernels everyone leaves you with sim not recognized.

Aaarghh,that sucks donkey balls...
Guess that means we won't get any, custom rom any time soon will we?
I'm new to all this stuff, so apologies for the noob questions.
I rooted my SC-02B using the tool in this thread. I was able to install and use the Barnacle Wi-Fi tethering app from the market, so I know it was a successful root. Now when I go to install and use Titanium Backup from the market, it tells me I don't have root access or don't have BusyBox installed. When I go to install BusyBox from the market it shows my phone as being rooted, but when I tap install it gives me a failed message saying my phone isn't NAND unlocked.
How do I do that? Once I get that problem solved, what are the next steps for installing the Z4Mod?
So far I've never installed BusyBox through the market. Just install it with Titanium and it should work fine (click the "Problem ?" button).
Then, I suggest that before doing ANYTHING involving a custom initramfs (like ClockWorkMod), you dump somewhere your mmcblk0p3 partition, in case you want to restore your phone exactly to the same state you got it.
If your not that paranoi, you can skip this part, but as I wrote myself a dozen times here, I forgot it and would be interested also ^^
Ok, thank you for the info. Does Z4Mod cause any problems with this phone? I read in dejanet's signature that the lagfix seems to cause problems. Z4Mod is the lagfix he's talking about right?

z4mod is just a rooting app. There's no lagfix. He's probably referring to OCLF which is made by the same developer. It's obsolete now, so do not use it.
About the rom problem, can't you just flash the modem from a Docomo rom after installing the custom rom?
No, z4root is only for rooting, but z4mod is a lagfix application. As far as i know, it will convert your phone system to ext2. However, i scare it will affect the DioDict application in SC-02B, so i haven't tried it yet.
Trojan,if you fear losing diodict,you can still dump your mmcblk0p3 partition.
It is the one containing diodict data.
I would actually be very grateful for an upload of that one (^-^)/

Opps. Didn't realise there are two apps with similar names.
Still, wouldn't suggest it. EXT2 is unstable.
Hi, bebert218. Actually, i am a noob, i don't know how to do it. Can you tell me how to view the partitions in the internal memory? I suppose DioDict application contains a database file somewhere in the internal memory, but i don't know where and what the file name is. Appreciate if you could give me a hand on it. Thanks.
Custom Kernel and Roms
From reading through the forums it seems custom roms present issues with the either the sim card or modem on the sc-02b. Are custom kernels causing issues as well on this phone?
Yes it is the kernel that causes the problem. I think a couple of us have tried them all.

disappointing Other than rooting and using Galaxy tuner to do some tweaks there isn't really much else to do. At least the upgrade to omka5 showed much improvement from 2.2
Hi,
I'm having a problem with a specific app.
I upgraded from Darky's Rom 8.0 to 9.1 (wipe). Didn't detected any problems whatsoever.
After applying lagfix Asphalt 5 app disappears after each restart.
Already disabled lagfix but the error still remains.
Can anyone help me on this issue?
Thanks,
I know that error Asphalt has been posted recently with the same rom .
So a search may find the answer .

Hi,
Thanks for replying,
Already see that post, but no one explains why this error happens or how to fix it.
They only say to download Apps2sd and transferring all the Apps to the external SD, and that I don't want to do. I only want to fix this particular issue.
Thanks,
why is this not posted inside the 'darky's rom' thread? (just curious)
I had the same problem with some of the custom roms like the cyanogen 6.1 beta's.
Some roms install apps on ext SD by default and after a reboot the app is missing in the drawer.
Check in app management, it should be still there and if you chose "move to phone" its back.
Hope this helps you out, it worked for me.

It's also there.
But first of all I don't know if this is an issue caused by the new darky's rom or some other known android sd card issue.
And second I don't see any problem in posting this issue in the xda forum where also darky have his rom posted.
why is this not posted inside the 'darky's rom' thread? (just curious)
I would guess cos it wont get an answer .

Thanks,
had the same problem with dark's 9.1 but with root explorer and other system apps. I don't have an external SD Card. Now the rom gone crazy and I had to reflash the V8. If this one goes crazy too, i will probably got o stock or on DOc's rom
I had the same problem with DocRom, it was caused by the deodex process that runs when phone is restarted.
It was caused by not having enough space in one partition (I think it was /system). So deodex failed. This only caused problems when deodexing big apps, like asphalt. You cans see the error by doing a logcat while phone is rebooting.
I couldn't find a solution. You might want to post in darky's thread. Maybe there is a way to disable deodex for some apps.
If you find a solution please post it here, I'd like to know how to fix this.
Thanks guys,
I thing that this error it's associated with another, I explain.
I was starting to wipe dalvik cache to see if it solve this issue but is says:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (file exists).
I had this error once and the Asphast 5 App also disappeared after each restart.
Then I flashed with Odin and re-partition a new rom and the error was gone.
Also, the App error was also solved.
Now I have the same two errors, so they are related.
I need to find more information about this issue.
If anyone knows more please share.
Thanks,
I receive that dalvik cache error every time when i'm wipeing the dalvik, but never lost apps before.
I only lose one, "Asphast 5".
I re-flashed the phone with Odin and JPU stock rom, re-partition.
Formatted my internal and external card, then clean installed a wipe 9.1 Darky version and the Asphalt 5 app remained on the phone.
After I started to install all the apps again with Titanium Backup the Asphalt 5 app disappeared after restart.
I really don't know what's going wrong. I know that with my old Darky 8.0 this didn't happened...
Anyone has ideas?
latest doc rom + hardcore kernel, same problem only 1 app keep missing after restart. (asphalt5 from samsung apps)
I think must be something with the big size apk, can't find other bigger apps then asphalt5.
You may check if this solution in the ROM Kitchen Thread works here as well.
UPDATE: 27/11/11
I have started a thread in the development section that contains all this information, please leave any findings or questions there, I believe members will find it more helpful there.
The thread can be found here
I have removed the file links from the OP to stop any confusion in the future. All files can be found in the other thread where it will be maintained and updated (if necessary) in the future.
Thanks for reading.
UPDATE: 27/11/11
Andrew_Low has provided a copy of his stock FROYO backup, which I tested on my tab and confirm that it is working. The kernel is rooted, other than that it is a clean ROGERS rom.
He was also able to capture the GINGERBREAD update, (which I have not tested as of yet, any testers please post your results) this is the stock update available from KIES.
Many thanks to him for this, if it helps you, hit his thank you button[/URL]. If you find this thread helpful as well, hit my thank you button.
Instructions on flashing are not provided. If you need these files it means you know how to flash your device, have flashed a custom ROM previously, and require this to return to a stock state.

Not an easy ROM to find is it?
Anybody ?
Any fresh ROGERS tabs out there???
I just picked up a used Galaxy Tab that has this firmware on it. I'm not new to hacking Android devices, but the Tab is new to me.
I haven't installed Kies yet, but will in a couple of days and can make a backup.
That would be just great, thank you very much, and I assure you that you will be glad that you made a backup for yourself as well in the future (hopefully not though, I don't expect you to have problems or anything like that but you know what I mean).
If possible, can you make the backup before you root the device, otherwise it seems to be a bit of a headache trying to get it un-rooted after the fact.
Many thanks.
EDIT: I guess i'm thinking more of a temp root than a perm root before backup
Sigh, I'm in noobville here with Kies.
Cross booted to Windows XP (I normally use Linux as my desktop) - installed Kies and sorted out USB connectivity.
I don't see where in Kies I can do a firmware backup. The backup just grabs the user data from the device.
It detects my firmware version and offers me the chance to update (which I assume would be a bad idea). Quickly looking on the net, you can 'capture' the firmware files during an update - but that doesn't help grab the version I'm running. Seems there may be a registry hack that lets you install older versions in Kies? If that's true, why can't anyone with a Rogers tab just get the old firmware easily?
Looking for a bit of hand holding.
Oh yeah, and device is bone stock. I'll likely root, unlock and install CyanogenMod - but I'm in no rush. Happy to try to help capture the stock ROM. It may help me out in the future, you never know.
Search for Roto-backup, it is a way to back it up bit by bit. It's a thread by Rotohammer, using his technique members were able to provide UN-ROOTED firmware, which are posted in the dev section. Have a little read see what you think.
The Roto-backup link was helpful, but that requires rooting.
Here's what I've done. Starting with a bone stock, factory reset device. I rooted the device using SuperOneClick 2.2. Sadly I had to run this under Windows to get it to work, mono + Ubuntu didn't seem to work out
I used the default "auto" method of rooting with SuperOneClick, and I did install busybox. In theory - if you really wanted to have an un-rooted stock, you could use the Unroot option of SuperOneClick.
Then I used the roto-backup script. This seems to have worked and I've got a 250MB zip file that I believe contains the stock firmware.
Are you brave enough to test it?
Files were zipped into a single file then split into chunks using RAR to get around upload limits. Grab them from skydrive.
Nice. I have a backup I came across but it's screwy and can't be un-rooted. The root method you used was temporary or perm?, the difference would be one disappears after a reboot.
When I originaly did my backup I used a temp root and came up with a file that I'm pretty sure was about the same size.
Brave you ask? I'm downloading the 3 RARs right now and will check it out.
Many thanks, will flash and tell you how it goes.
Well, Andrew_Low, it worked like a charm. The flash went smooth I will attempt to un-root shortly, and tell you how it went.
Glad it worked. Let me know if unroot via SuperOnClick 2.2 goes ok.
Why do you want non root? Warranty claim?
Slightly off topic, what ROM would you recommend? Seems any AT&T compatible ROM should play ok on the Rogers tab. I'm partial to CM being that's what is on my phone.

It is for warranty reasons, I have two tabs one was acting up. I did re stock it and sent it back but I wasn't able to un-root so I'll see if it goes through with samsung.
I HAD my stock rom that I somehow deleted (or just misplaced, cause I can't find it anywhere) Then I figured that I am not the only one who may need this, and since it is harder to find, I thought that I would try and help out the P1000R folks by getting a stock rogers rom for those who would like to revert. I was going to wait until I receive my tab back and see what they did to it and maybe have a fresh rogers rom on it to backup. I plan on posting it for members to have.
Our Rogers tabs are great for flashing anything on it really (p1000 related of course). Currently I have BOCA on mine, I had HC RC1 on it previously for a good little bit, and was going to put the ICS alpha build on it, but now since I'm left with one I use it for business purposes and require full functionality out of it. The tab that I sent back had OVERCOME KRATOS on it. Funny enough, this tab is the one that i'm always flashing different roms on and overclocking and plain old abusing it yet it was the other one that crapped out.
I recommend the OVERCOME rom as it is very stable, fast and reliable with almost no bugs. Combined with the bell modem it could also be used for phone calls if necessary. But experiment with any one you want until you find one that suits your needs, I found both my tabs hard to brick so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. I can't wait for an ICS beta rom to stick on this one.
Cool. I'm interested in a clean stock ROM if one shows up, please post to this thread. I'll try the unroot and see if that works for me.
Open to pointers on how to soft root and capture ROM. Seems feasible, but I didn't find a way to soft root and give me enough to roto backup.

Can't folk use the 2.3 firmware from kies? I haven't tried, but if you flash the rooted UXJJ6 from this thread then use Kies to upgrade to 2.3 you'd be in an unrooted stock state.

Hmm, very interesting. I ran the unroot on my device and it did manage to remove the superuser apk, but beyond that the device appears to still be rooted - busybox is still installed, and when I shell in over adb I get the # indicating root access.
I suspect just removing the superuser app is enough to make it appear 'as stock' - but any expert digging into the device and it's easy to see things are not stock.
If I were to try again - seems zergRush may be the local root you want to use, then from there figure out how to backup the ROM.
[edit] Ooh... reboot and adb has lost the # - I still see busybox installed in /system/xbin/busybox - I suspect this is pretty close to 'stock' if I punt the /system/xbin stuff entirely.
I'm not sure I'm that motivated to chase this further - I can't guarantee it is 100% stock, and it's the same as dl'ing the files I previously uploaded and running SuperOneClick 2.2 unroot + removing the busybox stuff as I specified above. The only mystery here is really what causes adb to have root privs when rooted.
Sweet - appears I was able to grab the ROM from Kies during the 2.3 upgrade - so I've got a copy of the clean/stock Rogers GINGERBREAD.UXKG1 firmware.
Will upload and link here in the next couple of days.
Very sweet, I will post it in the OP for reference.

+1 to theREDlegion for cleaning this stuff up and making the thread useful.
Hi everyone,this is my first post here on xda but i have been observing and following XDA forum for quite a while now,
Now recently I tried to install Origional CM10.2,
Steps i followed were
I had 2.3.4 ( i did installed CM9 almost an year back but then odin back to stock for reasons i dont remember now)
First i Flashed Speedmod kernel via odin 1.7, and then flashed glitch kernel zip using the recovery that came the speedmod kernel,
Wiped devlik cache and went on to install CM10.2,
Everything went fine till i noticed that i was not getting any reception and after googling a bit,identified the problem as efs folder corruption!
I immedietly flashed back to 2.3.4 using oddin and that solved the problem, and my fone was getting the signals on stock 2.3.4,
Following instructions from google, I used EFS recovery softwere to backup my EFS folder,
and then followed the same sequence to flash again to 10.2CM, but here come the tricky part, EFS pro didnt seem to work on CM10.2, i have everything installed perfectly, debugging mode is on, still cant get to restore the efs folder!
I even tried manually copying the backed up EFS folder and putting it in system folder using root explorer etc,but that didnt seem to work, I changed the permission to Read/write aswell, still it says operation failed!
EFS pro was my best hope but it just doesnt work, tried a newer verison of it(newer than the one that i used to backup the efc on GB),that opened but didnt have my device in supported list,and neither was showing any backup!!
This is what i have been doing for past two days
Now I am back to 2.3.4,and IMEI is working fine now.
and additionally just to check whether this happens only on cm10.2 or other versions as well, I flashed Cm10.1 aswell as cm9, same problem there aswell
(As far as i remember ,last year when i flashed CM9,it worked fine but was laggy so i flashed back,only thing i did differently was that i didnt install any kernel)
So any ideas how i should proceed now?
I would thankful if someone can help me ,
and sorry for the long story,i wanted to give as much precise info abt problem as possible!

Hi everyone,this is my first post here on xda but i have been observing and following XDA forum for quite a while now,
Now recently I tried to install Origional CM10.2,
Steps i followed were
I had 2.3.4 ( i did installed CM9 almost an year back but then odin back to stock for reasons i dont remember now)
First i Flashed Speedmod kernel via odin 1.7, and then flashed glitch kernel zip using the recovery that came the speedmod kernel,
Wiped devlik cache and went on to install CM10.2,
Everything went fine till i noticed that i was not getting any reception and after googling a bit,identified the problem as efs folder corruption!
I immedietly flashed back to 2.3.4 using oddin and that solved the problem, and my fone was getting the signals on stock 2.3.4,
Following instructions from google, I used EFS recovery softwere to backup my EFS folder,
and then followed the same sequence to flash again to 10.2CM, but here come the tricky part, EFS pro didnt seem to work on CM10.2, i have everything installed perfectly, debugging mode is on, still cant get to restore the efs folder!
I even tried manually copying the backed up EFS folder and putting it in system folder using root explorer etc,but that didnt seem to work, I changed the permission to Read/write aswell, still it says operation failed!
EFS pro was my best hope but it just doesnt work, tried a newer verison of it(newer than the one that i used to backup the efc on GB),that opened but didnt have my device in supported list,and neither was showing any backup!!
This is what i have been doing for past two days

Were you rooted when you tried to manually restore your efs folder? It should let you change it if you have the right permissions.
I would try to make a manual backup of your efs folder while you're on stock GB and try it again on the ROM you wanna use if you lose your IMEI again. Perhaps try another ROM as well, see if you get the same issue.
I have had problems with losing my imei after flashing to cm10 variants as well. In the steps that I took in this video I didn't lose it and I haven't had anybody else report that they have in the comments.

Arent Cyanogen Mods are already rooted?
I used the File explorer that was included in CM10'.2 and in settings i changed its permissions to ROOT ACCES.
Still i cant copy anything to EFS folder.
To be on the safe side,i tried Rooting Cm10..2 with Vroot,one click softwere and it showed that my phone had root Permissions!
Still I CANT WRITE ANYTHING WITHIN SYSTEM FOLDER,root explorer says that I dont have Root permissions, even after i rooted with Vroot!
I am confused

I would suggest trying with another file explorer. There are many on the Play Store (I personally like Root Explorer but there are free options).
