What one click are you referring to? If you are talking about odin one click, the only thing you should be using that for is going back to stock before flashing a rom. If a rom is flashable through clockwork than you would just put it on your internal sd card and follow the instructions for flashing through Rom Manager. If it is a rom that is supposed to be flashed with odin you would have to open up the zip file you downloaded and enter the appropriate files into odin.

WELL **** I flashed a rom now im stuck on congnition rom and i cant flash another one can u help

You need to be more descriptive if you want people to figure out a solution to your specific problem. Your post amounts to "I flashed a rom, I'm having problems, vague reference to rom manager, help guys".
Here's what we need:
1. What version of Android are you trying to flash?
2. What version are you currently running?
3. What modifications have you done?
4. What is the specific error you are getting?
5. What is the EXACT process you are using to try to flash the new rom?

READ READ READ READ READ, THEN READ SOME MORE!
you obviously have not read enough. there are 2 versions of ODIN we use for our phones:
One click ODIN which is simply a prepackaged version of the regular ODIN configured with the appropriate files that ODIN needs to flash our phones with it....they are packaged up by a developer named DesignGears. not every rom is going to have a one click odin....
there is also regular ODIN which requires you to have the appropriate files associated with your rom (kernel, pit file, modem, csc file, and rom), sometimes devs will package as much of that as possible into one or 2 files to flash in ODIN
you need to spend some time learning how to use these or just use the one click and go back to stock, then leave your phone alone. seriously, freaking out on a forum is not the right way to go about getting help for your phone.
calm down and give up the info that modest_mandroid has requested. none of us magically know what the heck you are talking about when you spout out random things like help, i flashed something and now i cant do anything else

5 Rookie questions needing 5 answers please read!!!!

Hi guys,
Im thinking of flasing a custom rom using odin.
Im running stock froyo 2.2.
PDA: I9000XWJPA
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000XEEJP4
My phone is rooted and lag fixed. I understand that i need to remove the lag fix before and flash.
I updated to this using the registry hack. My questions are as follows...
1) Can i flash a custom rom from stock 2.2 or do i need to firstly flash a kernal with recovery 2e and then flash a custom rom?
2) Am i right in thinking that the PDA is the right bit to be looking at i.e when people say this rom is usable with JPA / JPO etc. The phone and CSC are not important when flashing a custom rom ( but still needed obviously )
3) If by some miracle of god we ever do get 2.3 and i flash back to stock Froyo via odin using a rom from samfirmware.com, will kies recognise my phone? Or will i forever be destined to flash "unofficially" through odin.
4) Looking at the PDA etc given above can anybody recommend a good rom to flash with gingerbread theme and apps. ( i keep seeing Darky's rom popping up in conversations ) and also have a link to it if you would be so kind. Im not lazy but theres so many roms all over i want to make sure i get the right one.
5) Once i have recovery 2e can i flash future roms over the top using rom mananger by clockworkmods and not have to go through odin? Or how does that work?
If i could get some clear answers to the above that would be great.
Yes i am a newbie at this but i am confident that i understand the basics, its just a couple of things above that i want clearing up before i proceed.
I know how to use odin correctly. ( close kies first / make sure odin opened before plugging in phone etc. )
P.S Yes i have 3 button recovery and download mode.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and a big thank you to any body that takes the time to respond with help.

Any body that can help?

dude i feel your pain. i've rooted and installed custom roms on two other phones, most recent the HTC Desire Z. and it was quite a nightmare to just start off to know what the first step is, there are soo many different guides its hard to know which is what and what has now been superceeded by something else!
now i'm trying to get a custom rom on my galaxy S too, but really having a hard time understanding everything becuase guides and stuff are so different for different roms, gets confusing and dont know which one is for me!
my phone is already rooted, i have firmware 2.1-update1, i know i have voodoo lagfix somewhere installed. but my base band version is I9000XXJM4, which i hav'nt seen in any guide! where did you get your seperate PDA, PHONE, CSC info from?
sorry i could'nt help you and i justed added a bunch more questions to mix
also how did you manage to get Clockwork Recovery on your phone? i have recovery 2e atm. i downloaded Rom manager from the market and tried installing Clockwork rewcovery, but first it would not even download. then i tried next day and it downloaded it through rom manager. but i dont think it installed it. i went into recovery mode and then it tried to auto-install clockwork recovery in recovery mode! but it just hanged at zero status bar for like 20 mins. i turned the phone off and on, went back into recovery mode and it was still recovery 2e, how do i get clockwork recovery to flash as the recovery mode?

Type *#1234#into your dial pad and it will come up. If I'm right I believe that 2.1 is more simple to flash over than 2.2 which is the bit that's confusing me.
I believe that you would need to flash a new kernel with recovery 2e and then flash a new Rom over the top.
I'm a but confused though as to weather or not I would need to flash back to 2.1 and then do a couple more flashes to get the job done.
Can some one please clear this up.

1. You don't need to have 2.1 rom to flash, since you'll be able to do all the flashing using Odin and download mode. Just flash a kernel, using odin, that has clockworkmod integrated, and you'll be able to flash most roms and kernels with the clockworkmod.
Speemod kernel is a great kernel, and has clockworkmod included.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
2. PDA is the rom part. CSC is important when using stock roms. I think that custom roms have CSC included in them.
3. You'll always be able to flash with Kies by using the Kies Registry Hack or by flashing a stock rom through odin. Kies will recognise your phone even if you are on a custom rom, but I'm not sure if it'll flash your phone.
4. I prefer Docs Ultra Slim roms because it's light, and you can customize them however you want. Darky's rom is a good option if you want all the features of a stock rom, and more. I use a Gingerbread theme with Doc's rom.
Links,
Darky's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
Doc's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Both can be installed through ClockWorkMod
5. I think I answered this already.

Thank you for clearing that up. Very helpful but unfortunately you now raised another question haha.
You said that I would always be able to flash through kies using the registry hack... but wasn't that disabled so the registry hack wouldn't work any more a couple of versions back on. 803 or whatever it is?
And you also said that kies would recognise my phone but might not flash it which if I'm reading it right.contradicts.what you said about always been able to flash through kies.
Thank you so much for previous post it was very helpful.
Sorry if I sound stupid for.asking so many questions but I want to make sure I have covered all the angles before I proceed.
Again thanks for taking the time to help.

By registry hack, I really meant the Kies Registry Patcher app found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
Works on all Kies versions at least for now.
Like the original registry hack, this using this app makes Kies think that you have a stock rom and as long as Kies thinks that you have a stock rom, it will flash your phone.
In the sentence where I said that Kies will recognise your phone but won't flash, I mean't that it wouldn't flash without the Registry Patcher.

Thank you sooooooo much for your help dude.

[Q] Using UOT zip files in stock recovery.

Hello All,
This is my first post! But I have been visitor of this forum for some time now. Its been a great learning experience! OK ...let me come straight to the point..
Important Phone Specs:
-Samsung Captivate with stock ATT froyo (UCKB1)
-rooted, installed one-click lag fix (other minor things, like removed all bloatware, overclocked etc.)
I am planning on changing the icons in the notification bar (for example battery icon mod) using UOT (ultimate online theme kitchen) and I have the UOT zip file ready.
Q1. It is not clear if this zip file can be flashed from the stock recovery mode.
Per my understanding, these are unsigned files and hence might not work with stock recovery mode. Can some one please confirm?
Q2. If stock recovery mode does not work, then I plan to install clockwork mod recovery from the ROM Manager apk available on the market.
a) Since I will be using a custom recovery image, I assume I will no longer be able to use KIES to perform any stock updates if and when they become available. Is that correct?
b) How easy is it to revert back to stock recovery? Can you please let me know the procedure (or) point me to a link with this information?
The reason I ask is because I would like to stay stock as much as I can for the moment.
Thanks all for your help.
Regards.

I have used the UOT kitchen zips on stock KB1 but not with the stock recovery. I think you have to use CWM recovery. There's really no reason to go back to stock recovery. If you ever want to use Kies in the future to get updates (assuming ATT ever releases GB through Kies), you would have to flash back to stock anyway for Kies to recognize the phone.

Jackman,
Thanks for the response. I agree with you. I am not hopeful that ATT would release GB any time soon for captivate...so yeah I makes sense to go ahead with the CWM recovery.
I just wanted to know the pros and cons before I get started with the process.

read the how to flash custom roms link in my sig. new user guide too, find the part about stickies.
#1 correct.
#2 rom manager is only good for froyo roms on captivate... there are froyo kernels with CWM built in and tweaked that run fine on stock roms, but you must Odin flash the kernel.... which leads to...
#3 keis is garbage we use odin, the official samsung flasher utility. and we flash the same .tar files keis uses.
#4 easy to get back to stock. odin-one-click stock flashes are ONE CLICK. Sticky in Captivate Dev section. (use new user guide to find.)

Kies is trash. Even if you go back o stock, you probably need to modify code to make sure your phone's ID is still the correct one. It really isn't worth it considering Kies is just ODIN with a different UI and a craptistic amount of "checks" wich makes it fail 90% of the time.

I hardly ever have problems with odin. odin 1.3 sucked 1.5and newer work great. the homemade one clicks can be buggy. md5 check wont let you edit file names of tars. other than that i DONT have problems. its all i use. dont like heimdall and having to change my drivers for it.

【APP】Mobile Odin - by chainfire now for CAPTIVATE

Odin flash any Odin file from your phone!
The XDA god chainfire put this app together, and I helped him add the Captivate to the list of supported devices yesterday!
flash a whole, or part of: .tar, .tar.md5, modem, even flash the files from inside a ONE CLICK odin, FROM YOUR PHONE!

No, you'll still need to use a computer-based Odin/Heimdall to flash bootloaders.
(That's what the IBL/PBL items are that are greyed out in the application.)

well i have tried this it's flashing to jf6 using cezar flash like a breeze but problem flashing to jf6 the market cant find the mobile odin. and even you dl it on sd card it wont let you install on jf6 stock so i have tried installing the stock leak of kk4 while i was on a i9000 base rom now if you purchase this on market it allows you to automaticaly download the kernel needed to flash now problem here is if your build prop is not tweak to samsung-sgh-i897 build prop it will download the i9000 base kernel which will mess up your flashing and end up on a bootloop going to stock kk4 so still kinda fresh its a go and miss some times it work sometimes end a bootloop this also it does not flash the bootloader from the stock rom so i suggest before you go to stock gb rom flash a captivate base gb loader but got to admit chainfire is really a beast to make an odin on a phone so purchase the app to support him

Can this tool flash .bin file?

please use periods. and sentences. PLEASE.

WTF am I doing???
GO READ THE FRIGGIN THREAD!

Good work Devs

Do you have a direct link or mirror for v1.20? Tried the version on the market and still getting not compatible.

link in the first post, links to his thread, and it has links to the app. also I think it checks compatibility by reading the build.prop, what's wrong are you running and have you messed with your build.prop

Running MIUI. No, not edited build.prop.

well miui is probably the answer, might want to let the Dev know so he can fix that, if possible.

Ok, will do. Thanks

Not compatible with teamhacksung ICS build 6 either.

team hacksung's ICS port uses the CM7 partitioning table, and Mobile odin doesnt support re-partitioning. so ya. of course it dont and wont ever work.

I need help!

I'm in no way new to Android been around since the g1 era. I basically need help with installing a rom on my T-Mobile gtab. I've had my tab for over a year and I finally decided to root it last week. The problem I'm having is trying to load a custom rom onto it. Is there another way other than Odin that can be used or can I just download the roms and go straight to cwm and flash?

I have tried to do this several times in my own and my desktop will not let me extract the files that I need to do this on my own... just wanted to know if there was another way to put a from on my tab! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes you can install ROM from CWM, depends on which ROM you try to flash. Just find all the ROM at the Development section and choose the files with .zip. They usually are flashable from CWM.
for example, this rom is for GSM and are flashable through CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497872
or if you are ready from ICSm you can also try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385153
Those provide .tar usually flashable with ODIN.
If you decide flashing using ODIN, you have to make sure that you connect you G-tab to Samsung Kies first before trying to use ODIN. (To make sure you have the correct Samsung Driver installed to your usb port connection).
I hope that helps. Please make a note, if you are upgrading from FROYO to Gingerbread, you probably need to flash new PIT file, and probably datadb.rfs as well. These files, I'll recommend to flash them using ODIN.
Good luck, and be careful not to soft-brick your G-Tab.

Since you have T-mobile tab like me,
I think your best bet will be going to Overcome ROM thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384
Re-stock to Stock Safe 5 and then flash their kernel (all via Odin).
And from there you can CWM flash almost any ROM
Overcome website has broken images.
