[Q] update for rooted captivate

ok ... i guess i should say that yes i did "search" about it and i just didn't find the answers that i was looking for ! that's why i ask it here..
so i rooted and apply the lagfix to my samsung captivate. now everytime if go to setting>software update . it just says that "no firmware" or "dm initialization is not ready" ! i know there is no update available for samsung captivate yet ( im on jh7) but when there is how can i update ??!!! and is it safe to update ? how do i restore back to original setting ? (sorry i used iphone for so long and i am still not used to this phone yet ) what i needed to know is how do u restore this phone if something goes wrong ?! i messed up my iphone several times but it was no problem ! all i had to do was fire up itune and hit restore...!

Are you using the voodoo lagfix? If yeah..then you would want to disable that and restore a stock kernel before you do any future updates. Then reinstall it after. If something ever goes wrong with your phone, you can always put the phone in download mode and flash a stockRom with odin.

Well eveytime I check for update it said no firmware . It doesn't even go to menu and say checking for new update from att server and all that ! Is that normal ? And I don't know what lagfix I'm using. I download it from here and it has a shortcut with the name of SL4A and I installed the lagfix-ext4.sh from its options

I am new to the Android world and just got a Captivate rooted it using UNLEASH THE BEAST V0.2 from this Forum.
Now I cannot update the phone with the new AT&T fix and could not find a place explaining how to do it. I read the tread above about restore a stock kernel, flash a stockRom with odin.
Can someone be kind to explain that and maybe put a link up of a tutorial.
I would really appreciate that and hopefully get my phone updated.
By the way my firmware version is 2.1

That is the Odin one click downloader- it restores your phone to stock, make sure you make a back up first because it WILL erase everything in the process. The thread should have adequate instructions as well

Zilch25 I will do that. I appreciate your help.
Thanks

Worked like a charm! Thank you

[Q] Need Bell i9000M Stock ROM

I want to upgrade to official Froyo from Samsung directly but won't accept my current (and thought to be stock ROM) JH2. I read on other forums that this should be Bell's Stock ROM but when I loaded it and tried to upgrade using Kies it said that this cannot be upgraded...
Can anyone help me?

Registry patch it and under poof select the one that say's canada. Forgot which one. I did it that way and i was on jpo.
Oh and fyi, wrong section.

First, sorry about the section
Second, I'm not that expert in these topics, how do I registry patch it?

Get Link
Playaround with the spoof menu.

Update rooted Tab to Gingerbread

I have search these forums for an answer to this, but cannot find a answer to this exqact question and don't want to start installing ROMs unless I really have to.
I rooted my UK uynbranded Tab using Z4 root a while back. I saw gingerbread is now available in my region so tried to update, but Kies is telling me an update is available but refusing to update my tab. I unrooted the Tab using Z4 root and tried again, but still without success.
Currently my version reports:2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1, build FROYO.XWJJ7, baseband P1000XXJK5
Do I really need to reflash to a stock ROM?
If I must, could someone please recommend a tutorial to help me, I see several guides but no idea which is the right one for my circumstances.
Thanks
Gary

[Q] Pls HELP!!

Hey guys i really need some help. I tried to install clockworkmod on my T-mobile samsung galaxy s (sgh-t959v) and i guess i bricked it. All that comes out on the screen is a phone and a computer. can someone pls tell me what to do to fix this and install the right way.
Thank you in advance

Fairly new to all this myself and don't have experience with T-Mobile but if you go here you should be able to get a Firmware for your phone: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=SGH-T959V&r=5#regiona
You should be able to download a stock firmware, odin & everything else you need to flash your stock firmware. From this site.
Perhaps wait and see other responses though as there maybe a way to fix without flashing a stock firmware. Also getting some info from someone with your phone on T-Mobile may be better.

Just confirming that what scubadude said above. Flash new firmware, it is a soft-brick and therefore recoverable. Something that needs to be added however is that you will need to make a login in-order to access the direct link. If the link still doesn't work after that then click firmware and follow on from there..

[Galaxy S GT-i9000] Rooting attempt failed, need help

Hi all,
I've tried searching the forums but unfortunately my search did not turn up anything that specifically addressed how to tackle my problem. I'm generally quite bad with computers/phones/etc., and unfortunately my first attempt at rooting my phone didn't work out. My husband isn't good with phones either. It got stuck in a boot loop and I had to flash a factory firmware to recover the use of my phone, which took me a few hours to understand and perform. (All the data however was wiped, but thankfully I had backed my data up beforehand).
I am still interested in rooting my device, but am now afraid that I will screw it up again. I was hoping someone could please help me out as I do not want to permanently damage or lose all my phone's data again. Here are the details of my phone, please let me know what I need in order to root it. I will provide any other information necessary.
Model: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000ZSJPG
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #5
Build number: FROYO.ZSJPG
Thank you for any help provided. I would really appreciate a step by step guide if possible, because I'm so inept at dealing with these matters, and unfortunately my husband isn't much help either. Thanks all.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I tried flashing to 2.3.6 using odin3v_1.7 but I got the same problem with a boot loop again! I have flashed back to the factory firmware again, and am back at square one. I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thank you for your reply though.

If you are still on 2.2 .1 just connect it to KIES http://www.4shared.com/file/rcHB94q3/Kies_23212064_10_1.html and let it update it for you..IF it works without any problems.
or else you may have failed to Format your SD card and factory reset before flashing using odin and also do a wipe after flashing in recovery mode.
or you may have ticked repartition in Odin? that cause the boot loop

Thank you very much everyone! I really appreciate all the suggestions, will try them all out later tonight and let you guys know how it worked out.
You guys are awesome. =)

If you want to root GB, any version, use superoneclick. Works great, but you wont have a custom recovery that can flash update.zips. Or you could just flash a rooted kernel via odin so you get cwm and other features such as bln, cpu scaling etc. Also if you want to go to ics, flash an ics kernel, boot into recovery flash any ics rom and your good to go.
Good Luck!

Hi,
Personally I flash a Darkyrom GB ROM (you can find it on his website). Best part about it is you dont need to be rooted to flash his ROM. Try searching for 10.2 RE JVU on his website. All you need is a .tar file and flash it via odin. I think TotallydubbeHD has a video tutorial on youtube as well.
Trust me, its safe. I have flashed it countless of times

Thank you so much everyone! It finally worked! Everyone has been such a great help, thank you so much everyone. <3
