Hi there. I'm new to the Android scene, so please bear with me.
Recently got a stock Rogers i896 (unlocked) running Eclair 2.1 update 1. Rooted using z4root, installed Perception build 10.1. Rooted & unlocked. Working great, minus GPS.
Now that the official Rogers Froyo update is out, I'm looking to upgrade to a custom ROM based on the official Rogers firmware. The latest cognition build seems like a good choice for me.
However, I have a few doubts before updating. I know that I should disable voodoo lagfix before updating. The main issue is that I still have my stock i896 boot, and I would like to keep it that way. In order to install a new ROM, I've read that it's advisable to go back to "stock Eclair". However, to my understanding, most of these guides would actually end up putting AT&T Eclair onto my phone, which is highly undesirable.
Can somebody please shed some light on this? I've come across CWM flashable i896 stock froyo, but I'm unsure as to whether this would qualify as flashing "back to stock". I obviously don't know what I'm talking about, and I've honestly tried my best to read up and understand these terms. Any help would be appreciated.
Baseband:I9000UGJK4
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 (Firebird #37)
Build: Perception 10.1
Edit: Realized this is in the wrong section. So sorry.
+1 , i got a phone that was rooted off someone today and i want to bring mine back to stock...

i want to flash back to stock to install another ROM, i have the rogers captivate and was just planning to use the at&t odin one click, will my sim card still work? since its at&t version? thanks alot.
What are you running and why flash to stock
CM7
was running serendipity 5.12, and updated to 6.0, i didnt worry about my sim, just left it out and used wifi. up and running on 6.0 working good. although i like the swype theme better on 5.12 where would i place the apk from the older version to my phone?
first off DONT use the odin one click to stock. you will get the ATT bootscreen.
unless something isnt working you dont need to go to stock between roms.
read the rogers i896 wiki for stock rom information and how to CORRECTLY flash rogers stock. and fix the ATT boot logo if you already screwed yourself.

research research research
EDIT also check out the stock rom link in my sig!
There is a thread in this section that has the steps to go back to rogers stock perfectly I just used it to flash CM7 on it.
I just had to warranty my original Cappy because of a power button issue. It came stock with 2.1 Eclair and I never had any issues rooting/flashing/ or otherwise messing with it.
The "new" one I have has 2.2 Stock on it, is there anything different about what I need to do? Will ODIN 1-click bring it back to 2.1 without much hassle?
I looked for over an hour and couldn't find any specific answer.
Thanks for the time,

This is the Development Section, you should've posted this on the Q&A Section instead.
I just had to replace mine last week, just do as you did on eclair rooting was same as was installing an updated ROM
with only 21 posts I think we can forgive a post in the wrong section
When I upgraded (way back when) to the official Froyo 2.2 through Kies, just to check it out, I could only get it rooted through this...View attachment SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse.zip
Or you could just flash a rooted Dev Kernel through Odin.

I cant verify this but i did have trouble as well re-rooting it after i did the kies update so i just flashed JF6 with odin one click and then re rooted it and its been fine every since. Im not sure what att did but this KB1 through kies sure made it hard to re root when i did the update and i wasnt impressed by it either(go figure). I hope that helps. I do know that odin one click to JF6 will just about fix everything or if your having trouble rooting with the 2.2 KB1

Yes everyone it does belong in QA and I am sure it will get moved.
To answer your question about 2.1, becareful and have a read through this thread in relation to my experiences with an 1104 build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105776&highlight=1104 downgrading with JF6 was bad juju
---My opinion follows as this is what worked for me -----
I would just flash to 2.3.3:

Or just the stock AT&T boot loaders from here:

Then go about loading your desired kernel/rom combinations
typo on the title, i meant New captivate user needs help LOL
Hey guys,
I've gotten myself a Rogers Captivate (SGH-I896) running Continuum v5.5.
Model number states GT-I9000 with baseband I9000TDVJP9, Build GINGERBREAD.XXJVO
I'm not a total noob since i have a Nexus S and used to own a t959 vibrant, but seems like the captivate is confusing the hell out of me lol. Here are a few questions i hope the community could help me out with
1. Boot up screen states GT-I9000, so i guess this means this was flashed with GB Bootloader? i'm assuming we dont have official Gingerbread on the captivate hence the need for the GB Bootloader (Please correct me if i'm wrong)
2. i have used ODIN on my vibrant many times. Now do i need to download a specific version for the captivate or is ODIN the same for all Galaxy S phones?(Please note that i have the AIO Vibrant Toolbox so ODIN version is the one that comes with it)
3. If i want to change ROMS, to lets say the Sensation ROM, can i flash it using CWR or do i have to change bootloaders first? and Can someone kindly tell me which ROM can i just flash on top of my current ROM.
4. If i want to start all over again and get back to stock, what are the steps i need to make. can i just put it on download mode and Odin back to stock the same way i used to do it on the vibrant? or do i have to change bootloaders first.
5. Lastly, is there a big difference between the AT&T and the Rogers Captivate? Am i able to flash all the custom ROMS here or do i have to find specific ones that will only work on my version?
You may have noticed that the bootloaders are my main cause of worry, coz i know that a mishap with those would cause a hard brick. Hope someone could give me a few minutes of their time to help a captivate noob get started on flashing these amazing ROMS on my captivate. Thank you!!

1. Yes, You flashed the i9000 GB Bootloaders that are compatible with our phone. If you look on the forums there is a one-click for the kf1 bootloaders that are made for our phone and much harder to brick.
2. There is different odin oneclicks for the captivate and different files for odin. Not all galaxy s files are compatible with all the different galaxy s devices. Be sure to download captivate specific files. If they are not captivate specific make sure they are known to work with our device, the safest way to do this is to stick to files on the captivate forums.
3. I typically 1-click back to stock jf6 and follow steps to flash the new rom when I want to flash a new rom. Be sure not to use the old 3 button fix and I would be hesitant to do this without a jig ready if my 3 button didnt work out of the box.
4. Odin 1-click JF6(NOT the 3 button fix) should have the primary bootloaders, it has always reflashed the eclair/froyo bootloaders for me and seems to be the best way to restore factory settings, from there its easy to update using Kies or to flash a custom rom through CWM without even rooting. All you need is to install it with an update.zip you can find on the forums easily. Edit: If you are trying to get to stock for warranty exchange you'll have to find rogers specific stock roms which are on the captivate android development forums. AT&T Roms should work with rogers with proper APN settings though(at least thats my understanding. I am on AT&T and have an i897)
5. My understanding is the phones are the same hardware wise just the APN settings differ. I may be mistaken though and you may want another more informed Rogers user to respond to this question.
Thanks Xijar

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....
Hi guys,
Long story short, I came across an awesome app, in order to use it you had to install a different kernal and root the phone. I know nothing about this but, my buddy supposedly could do this "no problem." So, long story short, it didn't work, he flashed my ATT Captivate and reinstalled Android 2.1 for the Vibrant!! Uggghhh! So, I've been reading here and there, wanting to fix this myself. I have downloaded the latest android OS, I have odin. Am I correct in assuming that all I need to do in flash the phone and install the new OS and I'm good to go? Is there anything else I need to do or should know? Thank you very much for any help!
Do you know how to get into download mode? you best bet would be to flash gingerbread boatloader and rom...read this thread for easy instructions
