[Q] JH7 Odin?

Ok, so I have Froyo on my Captivate from a looong time ago, but now I want to put in Andromeda 2.0. I followed the directions but then it says i have to get back to stock firmware. I got my Captivate on October 25, so it had the JH7, so now I need to get back to that firmware. Anything before that would brick my phone, so I'm trying to find an Odin restore that will get me back to JH7. And yes, I have googled it up a lot. Could you tell me or post a link, where I might find it?

1) Wrong section
2) You really do not need to go back to stock, that is just a disclaimer used. If you understand you have the possibility of bricking your phone than just flash the ROM. I will help you search but if you search the Dev forum rather than google you will find the thread for JH7 Odin. The only time you really need to go back to stock is with a bad flash, which sometimes can be fixed by flashing the ROM a second time.

Ok thanks, sorry for the wrong thread I'm just about to do the Andromeda 2.0 now.
Also, so it doesn't matter that I have the leaked 2.2 firmware, I can still download it with that rather than the 2.1?

yes you can flashhhhhhhhhhhhh if you don't make your phone into a paperweight

I got a replacement 1010 with jh7 installed and had no issues using the odin ji6 one click restore on it.

Write lets get since information in here...
No technically you do not need to go back to stock but it is always a good idea. No matter what phone model or what stock it came with going back to jh6 is the best bet. It is the tried and true method and better then jh7.so just use the normal common odin

You could just flash over but the thing you would have to get past is 3e recovery there is a fix for that. I think there was a time when all new roms in xda were based on official 2.2 software back in october and november of last year and it had 3e, and the easiest way to get past it was to flash stock first. also there are two versions of odin you should try to get familiar with and a recently updated wiki sorta thread should be useful for up to date info. Hope this helps.

Rooted stock 2.2 from ATT but can't load new Cog. ROM

I upgraded my captivate through att with official froyo on the 24th. I have just used superoneclick 1.65 to root my phone and give me the super user access app. I have deleted the stock bloatware apps from att and am now happy. I can't seem to figure how to get tethering unlocked. I have tried to use ROM Manager and clockmod recovery to load up cognition 4.0 but every time I go into boot up from recovery screen I get the signature verification failure. I already tried the update.zip deal as well. I am running kernel 2.6.32.9 build froyo.uckb1. All I want is the easiest and most direct way to get tethering on my phone and if needed put a new rom like cognition on here. Thank you so much for the help.

A search would have brought you to the fact that you need to fix the recovery so it will accept unsighned zip files. This has been brought up dozens of times in the past 48 hours. I just did the search and look what I found HERE

[Q] DarkyRom 10.2 RE Issues/Question

Hey Guys,
I have a couple of questions in regards to going back to stock from DarkyROM 10.2.
After using 10.2 for about a month now, I have noticed that while the rom is fast, There are quite alot of glitches in my day to day operations. My 3D HD games no longer work smoothly (as they did in 2.3.3 with CWM), the phone will randomly freeze up when using the browser/gallery/calender etc. After multiple re-flashes I am coming to the conclusion that to get back to my original performance I may need to flash a stock JVQ and then mayby just us CF ROOT or something of the like to get CWM access.
My question is, what preparations need to be done before preforming this flash. Also, can the stock files be flashed with ODIN? Also, if anyone has any input on why DARKYROM 10.2 seems to have these issues, please feel free to let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!
Phone Specs:
Samsung Galaxy Vibrant (i9000m)
DarkyRom 10.2 RE -w- KC1 Modem
Only Mod preformed after flashing RE was updating the SMS application to the SGS2 App to restore the chat bubble colors. The issues were present before this update. Did the update through DarkyRom Tool.
If you guys need any more information, just let me know..

Anyone??????

Alright, I'll take this one if no one else will. I too have the i9000m, and have learned all I can about keeping it alive and well. Going back to stock is easy. Go to general and look for the stock firmware thread. You will get instructions there on how to flash with odin. I've never used darky before but I did use CM7 and flashed back no problem. You could also look for Ramad's prerooted roms. I'm running one right now, UGKG3. Works great as I couldn't root it myself.

Hey Dude, Thanks alot for your response! One more question before making the switch....Should the voodoo lag fix that comes with Darky 10.2 be disabled before flashing with Odin back to stock?

If you want to go back to stock ROM. Before flashing disable the lagfix (for safe). You can download the firmware from www.samfirmware.com. and its an odin base installation.
Post your problem in www.darkyrom.com some expert will help you...

Hey guys.
I have flashed stock ROM (2.3.4) via Odin and worked absolutely fine. Didn't need to fiddle with the lagfix or anything. Simply popped phone into DOWNLOAD mode and flashed (with re-partition/wipe and backing up "stuff" beforehand).
The lagfix menu I think, is in the RECOVERY mode in the extended power options menu. I think thats the CWM with the DarkyROM maybe? Either way, you can enable/disable the lagfix in that menu.
Hope this helps!

Help an old-timer

I'd first like to apologize if these questions have already been answered. I haven't flashed a rom in nearly a year. When at&t put 2.2 on the market I downloaded it. I absolutely hate it. It's worse than 2.1 by far (with the exception of netflix). I wanted to flash to fasty's rom and noticed the instructions said I needed to be on 2.2. Has the process for flashing changed? Can I still use odin 1 click stock? Are there any stickies or threads that already address this issue?

Unless its a gingerbread (2.3.x) rom all you need is cwm and then you can flash it, no matter what version of android you are currently on. If its a gingerbread rom you will need to flash bootloaders with odin first also.
If you have used odin one click before and your phone didn't spaz out (some newer phones do) then it is fine to keep using it to return to stock if desired....

[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?

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.
