It is captivate with cynogen 7 mod but if you don't know what it is I'm guessing you don't have it (not to be rude) . So just get the regular captivate cwm update.zip .. Hope this answered what you need to know.

Ya, once you flash another rom it will depending on the rom replace the one from rom manger. Do if you want to keep that cwm recovery just copy the "update.zip" file from the root of the sd card. If your not rooted let me know and I will post it for you.

Yah, I'm rooted and everything, but here's my latest issue. If i hit reinstall packages in the samsung recovery thing, i get E: (insert whatever error it is here). And I can't go back to stock with Odin3 because it never reads my phone in download mode on my laptop. Thanks again!

I'm trying to figure out how to upload the zip from my phone, but if you look for "3e recovery" with search you can get fix fit that.

Yah, I've tried that, but it will read my phone when on and will have the yellow 0[COM:4] (5 or something like that) and as soon as I turn off my phone to go into download mode it goes away, saying "removed", and the yellow box disappears and doesn't come back until I reboot into regular phone.

While it is plugged in turn it off and then try adb download
Ithink it is; "adb shell" then "su" then "reboot download"..... Hopefully that should help

Well close odin, then (just to make shore correct on getting to download mode) remove your simcard and battery and external sd card. Next open odin (with phone un plugged) next put in battery and hold down volume keys, and plug in to computer and see if that works, because odin has to be open before you go to download mode

Cognition 5 is a gingerbread rom, you need to follow the instructions on the first or second post to flash it. Can you get to download mode? If you can, try to odin back to stock and go from there...
Also, make sure you read the entire opening posts for installation instructions for every rom you flash.

Get in download mode and flash back to stock DO NOT use 3 botton fix. To get in to download more depending on bootleaders but if on I897 bootloaders take out battery sim and SD, plug in the phone press Vol up and down and insert cable (that's connected to the pc). If that doesn't work consider a Jig

That sucks, I didn't even notice it was a gb rom and I always read the instructions besides this time. I pulled everything mentioned and I get no life when connected to pc while holding down volume up and down. Before I had any replies I did try the 3 buttons but all that brings me is to a little wheel on my screen. So I guess this is it huh?

I just called att and they're sending me a replacement phone, I just played dumb, they tried a few troubleshooting techniques to no avail so they said they'd send me a reconditioned replacement at no cost and ill have it in 5 days or so. Good thing its by back up phone and line, next ill read and read again the proper requirements of said rom.

It won't enter download mode, when I hold all 3 buttons all I get is a Continuing att logo flash. Although I did try it several time with different release timing and I was able to get to a black screen with 1of those little spinning wheels. But I was told not to use 3 button fix just use the volume keys, which did nothing at all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

The three button fix is a zip file you flash from cwm that replaces one of your boot loaders, you didnt do this did you?try pulling your battery for a awhile have odin open on your pc,insert battery,hold both volume buttons, insert usb. Or try the one click unbrick

First make sure you have the right drivers in your PC. They will be/act different since your on gingerbread bootloaders now. Try the Nexus s drivers or download ask and start all over, it will download the drivers needed. You can also read somewhere in the forums about other drivers/apps that can get you the right drivers for your pc.
Also you can use a jig to get you in download mode.
YOU ARE NOT HARD Bricked at this point SINCE you do get to the att screen. IF you flash the 3 button fix now you will be permenently bricked and the phone will ONLY go e a black screen
IF you send your phone back to att is the state it is in now they MAY see that you flashed something and will charge you the full price of the new phone. You MAY get lucky if att or samsung don't check it but personally I wouldn't risk it. Buy a jig from mobiletech videos for the $8 and make sure you have the correct drivers on your PC. Then you will be able to fix it. Just keep trying, switching USB ports, try a NEW USB cable, keep trying.
I also didn't see it mentioned or missed it but did you turn phone off,plug the USB cord into the PC but now into the phone yet, hold down the volume + volume- buttons, THEN plug in USB cable to phone. And it should put you into download mode.

Your making a big deal out of nothing If the key combo's don't work but the phone shows signs of any life Jig will fix it. You can make one with this or buy one in ebay or mobiletechvideos.com They cheap to buy even cheaper to make if you have patience.
Word of advice Always have a jig around. Its better to have one and not need it than being stuck without it. (also u can just ditch key combo's with it lol)

was there a yellow box in odin before you hit start? if not it didnt detect it and you need the drivers for the phone. also make sure you are plugged into a usb port that is on the motherboard, on the back of the pc or port 1 on a laptop.

[Q] Screen cannot wake up after i turned it off

Just as a posted on another thread, now my phone is running android1.1, after i turned the screen off, i can no longer wake it up by pressing any button or sliding keyboard, but the keyboard light can be lighted...

What do you mean by "turned the screen off" turned the phone like completely off or just put it to sleep? If you flashed, then check to see if your radio/spl matches up to the roms requirements. If not, then thats the reason. If you just put it to sleep, try factory resetting your phone via holding power+home to get into recovery, then alt+w

It could be the rom youre using. Try updating to the latest radio/spl and downloading frosense or any of the cm7 roms. I dont think its the lcd. If it turns on at all, then the lcd's not the problem. Thats what im thinking because i dropped my phone in water before, the lcd was damaged. SCreen wouldnt even turn on, but i could hear everything. So yea. .

Well, the problem is updating recovery, i have tried many times, but after i flashed the recovery using fastboot or flash_image, the recovery mode cannot be displayed normally, only the last line" Build: 1.7.XX" can be seen, there's no items above. So i've no idea how to flash roms. Can i flash roms in the fastboot mode?

Are you rooted? If you are, then i have a solution for you.
Assuming you have root- Download ROM manager from the android market (the free version) and open it. It'll ask for superuser permissions. Click allow. then click flash clockworkmod recovery. Then itll give you a list of htc dream or magic. Click the dream and let it download. After it finishes, itll say "clockworkmod download complete" or something like that. Then theres another option on the app that says "reboot into recovery" click that, and flash the recovery you want. I recommend that you just use cwm recovery as i am using it on my g1. .
If you dont have root, then.... I have no idea. Sorry. And no you cant flash via fastboot.

my phone is rooted, but the Rom manager have to be force closed once i run it, i have tried different versions of Rom manager and different roms.
I have flashed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 via fastboot, but it didnt show anything when i enter recovery then.
Now I dont think i can flash Roms via recovery, so i prepare to do so via fastboot, i'm learning how to make *.zip packages for fastboot, its different from packages for recovery as i learned.

easy fastboot is just that; an easy way to use fastboot for the novice. also try droid explorer, a very simple to use program that may help you download what you need. both are free and easy to find links to - just google search or search these forums.

[Q] While flashing stock via odin screen gets blue/purple

Hey there,
Got my moms Galaxy over here. Thing wasn't updated and slow as hell so I thought I'd update it. Went through the Kies process but that didn't really work, phone just couldn't make connection despite what ever driver I used (win or mac, got both here).
So first things went haywire when I read somewhere to flash recovery I needed to do something via Heimdall. Did that with the command window and afterwards the phone got stuck in a bootloop (only the I9000+samsung repeating over and over again).
Then I tried flashing GB from samfirmware, which failed. All done through odin, the screen went purple at dbdata.rfs. So I went with stock froyo, from the androidworld.nl forums and same thing happens but now it's a blue screen at factoryfs.rfs.
What am I doing wrong?

Try flashing again via Odin and this time don't touch your pc while it is flashing. That yellow purple screen has happened to me while I was doing other things while flashing was going on in the background.
And check if your phone is i9000 or i9000+ and flash the their respective firmware .

Since the screwup started with Heimdall, might fix it with that?

Watch a YouTube video and see if you're doing everything properly.
What I do is
1. Go to download mode
2. Open Odin, select pit, PDA, phone, CSC files. And remember to check the re partition option
3. Connect your phone

Hm, no. It's a replacement cable (cheap) which I used for my Desire, no problem with that at all. Though it might be it indeed! Will be two days before I can get the original cable.
In the meanwhile I got CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.6 working.. while installing cyanogenmod it goes "checking blm status", then "install from sd complete".. a bit strange and it doesn't boot into the rom but into the recovery.

Switching back to the original cable fixed the problem for me. Hope it does for you as well, try that and tell us what happened!.

Can I still use Odin then, now with CWM recovery?

You can use Mobile Odin by Chainfire (look for it in the market), it works exactly as an Odin built-in your SGS with no need for PC.

I'm not certain but it might be called update.zip, because if I remember that's the only name that will flash in the stock recovery. As for finding it, just try searching for update.zip. it should be on the root of the sdcard(no folder) because that's the only way I thought it could install. Any ways I'm probably wrong but at least you can try.

i tried that too. it was unsuccessful. im almost out of ideas. does anyone have a clue about multi csc code that can automatically apply upon booting into stock recovery and then make it automatically reboot the phone?

I'm not sure really what CSC code is but I think your talking about stock Odin flash able package. That should get you back to stock and flash the stock recovery and wipe everything. However i think it will bootloop after it flashes so you will have to boot into recovery and wipe data. If so check out the wiki. There is all the info you need. I have another idea though. I haven't done this myself but you should be able to push a clockworkmod recovery.img to the phone from a terminal if you have adb also in the wiki. I can't view your pic because I don't have a Facebook but maybe someone else can. Good luck

That is the stock update pushed by Samsung from what it sounds like. Also sounds like a data packet might have dropped during the downloading of it causing a bad install. For simplicity get cwm Installed and boot thru that and flash from cwm. Wiki has all the info needs.
Wiki please read completely on rooting and install of cwm. Suggest 6.0.1.2 version. Personal preferences on that.

Problem solved. I just randimly pushed the 3 buttons on the phone before the rebooting part came up in the script and finally got the menu, took may tries to get to that point but as soon as I got to that point, I was quick to install clockworkmod successfully. Now problem is gone. Hope this thread maybe helps someone else

I have a similar problem. Which 3 buttons are we talking about? Power+Home+VolUp?

Easiest way, take out battery, push volume up and power, insert battery while holding, when Samsung appears release only power, when the android guy with package appears press menu

Make sure you push the "Menu" capacitive button (left in the row of four buttons below the screen) when you see the green Android guy and the box. That will get you into the stock recovery menu.
I had to reboot into recovery a couple of times because I missed that part. What a pain!
