Hello
I am having the Unlocked SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) of Canada Rogers Network. I am using the same from last December, 2010. As now the firmware of my phone is crashed and it is not even going in DOWNLOAD MODE or in RECOVERY MODE, by which I can repair my crashed firmware and also now my phone is not working.
My request to you is that can you tell me that if you can FLASH my SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) with the ROM of the mobile if you have with you, otherwise I will provide the Original Firmware Backup which I am having with me. So please tell me whether you can upgrade the firm with the ROM you have or mine.
Please help me to solve my number, as I am from India, now I cannot send my mobile to Canada back.
Thanks
I'm sorry I know english isn't your native language but could you try and reword your question?
And what do you mean by the phone isn't working? What exactly does it do?

Eh thanks Studa, I came across his question earlier and didn't understand it either.
@ OP - if you could rephrase that, we'd be more than happy to help you
Hmmm...this is a tough one, and I work with offshore resources on a daily basis. My guess is he unlocked his cappy, took it to India, tried to flash something, bricked it, and needs help restoring a rom file he has on his phone, or a rom from here.

So far, it seems to me like he needs a way to flash Eclair or Froyo. If so here's the answer: Odin3 one click.

So can you help me in solving my SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE problem. and I have the unlock code with me, so that I can unlock my mobile again easily without any problem.
I will wait for your reply.

Buy a jig. It will put it in download so you can do odin one click. I use AIO toolbox to do it.

my suggestion is to buy and use this:

So, I'm getting really frustrated and reading isn't helping at all. I know there is plenty out there, but I can't seem to find a solution after spending probably 5 hours today on my phone trying to restore the correct product code on my phone so I can use kies mini to put it back to stock 2.2 android. I followed the directions exactly in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880223 , all to no avail. I am able to pull my efs file from my phone and edit it just fine, but when I try to push the new edited file back to my phone, something doesnt work in the command prompt, and the window disappears before I can read what's going on.
I really don't know where to go from here. I feel stupid, as if I'm not saving the edited file to the correct place or something. anybody have a similar issue?
The reason I NEED to get this figured out is that I got this phone as a replacement and it came stock with 2.2 on it, so I need to get it back to that in order return it again, and it worries me that I can't get the product code switched back. Am I just SOL?
Have you tried super manger in market. Just make shore you mount data read / rewrite (r/rw). Or use root explorer if willing to buy it

Worked wonders, thank you so much!
hey guys i have a captivate that i tried flashing and was successful then i tried again and the screen went black. im not sure if my battery died during the process or what but idk what to do. I cant get into recovery mode, i can only get into downloading mode but none of the odin's ive downloaded have recognized my device today. they worked fine yesterday. then i tried "hemidall one click" to try and get it back to stock but no luck. also when i try to power on I get the "Cornkernel" loading screen since that was the kernel i had loaded when it was working, but it fills the bar then shuts off. so it seems like im going to be at the mercy of a computer program since i am unable to access anything on the phone, right? I recently upgraded to gingerbread before all of the flashing of the new roms. all i want is to get back to either froyo or gingerbread, i dont really care, heck ill even take 2.1 at this point. if anyone knows whats going on and can help me thatd be great.
Thanks
Remember to use a rear usb hub for destop and run as admin. Heimdall will mess up your odin drivers.
You may also want to check out the captivate connection issues thread.
Also, to clarify further on prbassplayer's point about Heimdall, it will write its drivers over the drivers assigned to the USB port you are plugged into when it detects your phone. So if you have 4 USB ports and you use port 3 for Heimdall, it would look like this:
1 - Odin port
2 - Odin port
3 - Heimdall port
4 - Odin port
All this means is that you'll need to be aware of the port you used with Heimdall, or just reinstall the odin drivers (they'll overwrite the Heimdall setup).
OK so i tried what you mentioned in that thread on the connection issue and unfortunately it didn't work. is there a way i could start fresh? like delete all the drivers from my computer and then try it again, or do u not think that would work? im open to any ideas/suggestions right now because i hate having an extra paperweight and the thought of buying a new phone.
Don't know if this'll help or even why it worked for me but, when I had problems with odin recognizing my phone, I reinstalled/repaired samsung kies and odin would work for at least one flash.
Note: used full odin (not oneclick)
Good luck
hey guys thanks a bunch i finally got it to work. i had to use a different computer like you said. What a great feeling to have a functional phone again..
Thanks Again!!
So i got the phone back up and running android 2.1 and I would like to get it back to the stock 2.3 I had before the whole mess of rooting and stuff. but when i try to upgrade with kies or straight on the phone it ends up failing and telling me to try it again. any ideas why this is happening? or how to fix it.

Kies sucks lol
look at my sig the first "go to" has the One Click Odin file to get you to stock and rooted 2.3 ...should take no more then 5 mins to do it
the link on that page for the 1 click odin doesnt work.
Try looking >>HERE<<. There are more one clicks there than you will ever need (hopefully)
Thanks I think I might try one of those. But considering what happened earlier in the week i want to clarify/ask a few ?s about that page. How do I know which Gingerbread to use of the 3 listed? How do I know whether or not to click the one with or without the bootloader? I'm new at this with android but I used to flash roms on my old windows mobile htc TILT.

if you have never flashed GB bootloaders, you need to. Just oonce will work from that time forward. After you flash bootloaders, it's best to avoid them. A bad bootloader flash is one of the few things that will turn a Captivate into a paperwight. About which GB to use, I would say KK4. Its the same as the Official KK4 that was released. So to recap, flash bootloaders only once, then use no bootloader packages after that.
Im not sure if I unlocked them or not honestly. I know i had the phone rooted at one point and was running Cerberus rom. is there any way for me to check?
If you don't know, flash them.
ok i apologize in advance if this is a stupid obvious question..i got the odin one click and i was looking at the page u referred to me to and im wondering what the kernel is for? you cant place it in the odin one click obviously so is that just to keep things together or do i actually need it?
The kernel links are just to use if you want to root the stock rom. You have to use full Odin for those. Stick with the one click until you feel more comfortable in flashing AND do a lot research before your next flash.
so i got the KK1 gingerbread working and everything seems to work fine but now my data doesnt work. So I cant get ATT 3g or edge or anything the only internet i recieve is wifi. anyone know why this is? or how to fix it. ive tried a reboot and nothing ive tried changing the settings under network settings.
Recently purchased a Galaxy S3 Mini from Verizon, was pretty excited about the aspect of rooting and installing custom roms.
Only problem is that I can't seem to find a single thread/video/(anything) that is able to root the version of the phone that I have.
Every thread I search for is either for the normal S3, or only unlocks the S3 mini if it's running 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, but my phone is running 4.2.2.
I read somewhere that Verizon has blocks in place set to stop rooting from happening, but 1.) I'm sure someone has found a way around this and 2.) I'm not sure whether it's true or not.
If anyone wants to know:
Model Number: SM-G730V
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Build Version: JDQ39.G730VVRUAMI9
Android Version: 4.2.2
Not sure what other information might be needed, though I'm more than happy to answer any and all questions that might get me (and possibly others, if they're having the same issue) some help.
My fiancée is in the same boat

It's kind of saddening that so many people have viewed this thread, yet there hasn't been a single helpful post.
I'm starting to believe that there isn't any hope for the Galaxy S III Mini.

I haven't even seen anything about that method. I'll look into it now.
That's exactly what I was looking for though. Even if the method doesn't work, it's nice to have someone give input on possible methods so that I can keep on trying.
I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Yes, please do :good:
I'm pretty sure it will work. It's the same phone, just from another carrier.
So I looked into the method tys0n posted, and it led me to a Chinese root method called VRoot.
http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
It's a one-click method, and installed it's own SU on the phone, but I'm installing root-only apps at the moment to check whether it's actually rooted or not.
This thread has pictures explaining what the all-Chinese app is doing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459910&highlight=one+click
root worked for me!!!! Now does anyone know of any ROMS that are compatible?
The Chinese 1 click root worked for me as well. After the reboot, I installed SuperSU and root explorer. SuperSu prompted me to allow it to uninstall the chinese su so I allowed it. I updated the binary without issue and have titanium backup running and uninstalled some verizon apps and froze some other things. Freed up some RAM and it already seems to be a bit snappier. Not that it was really that bad to begin with.
Wouldn't we need to have a custom recovery to be able to flash any ROM's? I never bothered to try any with my Note II since it ran so smoothly but on my dx2 prior to that, we needed the custom recovery.
I am also in the same predicament with a Verizon S3 Mini (SM-G730V). I was hoping to install maclaws 4.4 on it but apparently that is only for the GSM model, I8190. I would be very interested to hear if anyone is able to get this running on the G730V.

For SM-G730V, to get to diag mode is ##DMMODE# or *#0808#
If you had flash Samsung before, then you will not get any problem from this one.
I already use this phone and works on my country.

Hi all, I have searched and searched on here for what I need but just cant seem to find it. my GT-S5830 will go into dload mode but when i reboot it gives me the exclemation phone to pc sign. I have dloaded the "S5830XWKTR_S5830H3GKT4_S5830NEKT2_HOME.tar.md5" file and numerous versions of odin of which I now believe that "odin Multi_Downloader_v4.43" is the correct one for me. I think I am missing other files but am not sure. When I press start I get the message "unamed file not found" and in corner i get "killer timer"
I know this forum is designed for new users to learn for themselves and must use the search facility's etc to gain knowledge however I am an OLD new user and was wondering if anyone could help me sort this phone out. I recently rooted it (or at least I think i did) then tried to put new rom on it previous to getting the exclemation symbol. I now am trying to restore it to factory settings unrooted with my 3 carrier. maybe so that I can then root it and install new rom.... thats if I dont find getting my phone back to working condition to complicated..
Thanks in advance for any help and I am sorry admin if I am posting unhelpfully, I dont wish to clog the forum.
