[Q] Flashing to Cognition 3 without flashing stock?

Recently, I had a very long discussion with some helpful users regarding how my market disappeared in the Android Themes section. After never recovering my stock market application, I finally just flashed to the cognition rom that is built for 2.1.
This was a huge risk for me because for some reason my phone is not found in Odin when it is in download mode. I have already tried everything to get it recognized, but nothing was able to get it recognized. If I were to brick my phone, I don't think I could fix it. I soft bricked it during the problem with the Market, but luckily I was able to get the phone working again through recovery.
I am thinking of flashing to the new cognition so that I can get my phone running on a 2.2 based rom and then quit flashing until I get a better phone or figure out my Odin problems.
I just have a few questions. I know a lot of people recommend flashing to stock first (which I can't do), while others don't flash stock. I should be able to just disable Voodoo and hopefully flash successfully to a new rom, correct? Also, what are the chances of a permanent brick? As long as I could get into recovery I could probably get the phone back up again without the use of Odin, right?

I have tried to Rom my JI6 (unoffical froyo) version of captivate, with Cog v2.3b8, using ROM manager.
But after installation, my screen went blank and the battery started to heat up...

Main problem with your Captivate is that you cannot connect to your PC???
Did you tried using different computer, or using different version of Windows/Mac?

Back when I was really trying to figure the problem out (about 2 months ago), I was trying everything mentioned. I tried different versions of odin, 3 separate computers, windows xp/vista/7, front and back usb ports, multiple drivers, etc... The weird thing is that the phone is recognized in odin when it is on, which is how I was able to do a master clear on it. It is just when it is in download mode that it does not recognize it.
I eventually just gave up thinking that it was just a problem my phone has. The only thing I have not been able to test is using a different cable. I have been using the original OEM one, but I guess it could be the problem.

When did you bought the device?
if its within a year... you can exchange it... this looks like easy way out.

Unfortunately, It was purchased off contract and used from someone who lived near me. It is less than a year old, I just don't have the receipt for it. I would say that I bought it around the beginning of last August. They guy who sold it said he only used it for 2 weeks.

Ok, im just going to risk it... Phone should be flashed within the next 10 minutes or so.

I had the same prob at first and what i found is that I had to remove the drivers and then let windows 7 reinstall the drivers on its own again after turning debugging on, then used Odin to activate DL mode and let those drivers install as well

Need help getting back to stock

I followed this site religiously for nearly the first year that I had my captivate. I've been busy for the last few months and am completely lost on where I am and where I need to go to get my phone back to stock and then updated to the newest rom.
My phone was running CM7 just fine in April (I haven't updated anything since then, I think) but recently began force closing EVERYTIME that I tried to open ANY program. I used cwm and restored my system to what I had previously installed but am getting random reboots (this had never been an issue before).
I've been pretty good about taking care of my phone in the past, but it's been so long since I've messed with this stuff I have no idea what I have installed or what to do to get rid of it.
Right now my phone info says this:
android version 2.3.3
JK3 modem
Kernel version; 2.6.35.7 codeworkc #1
Mod version: Nightly 03042011
Build Number: GRI40
I'd like to get back to stock so I can reorient myself before catching up with current versions.
Thanks

I forgot to point out that odin doesn't recognize my phone.

Do you have the phones drivers installed? Do you have Android SDK installed with Nexus S drivers? Did you run ODIN as Admin?

you might want to just keep trying odin. Restart or reboot your computer.. try a different USB port. I had Odin stop recognizing my phone once. All it took was a restart of the computer and has worked fine for me since.
That's what I would suggest

My drivers say they were successfully installed but don't seem to work in download mode. I can drag and drop files without issue when the phone is on.
I don't have SDK installed.
I've tried all my USB ports on each of my computers, restarting, and have even unplugged every USB device except for my phone; no dice.
At this point I'm considering throwing my phone at the wall and running over it a few times to cash in on my warranty and maybe even have a shot at getting a captivate with a working gps.

If you have cwm recovery.. just flash another ROM in recovery. Wipe your caches data and dalvik before you flash and even factory reset. Unless you need gingerbread bootloaders, a lot of ROMs can be flashed right over one another without the whole FTS biz.
*edit* also wanted to mention CM7 is funky with storage space. If you go into terminal emulator in your apps and type "df" ..look for your datadata, make sure your under 90%. Once that fills up you'll start to get more and more force closes. The cure is to move some apps to your SD card.

I recommend you install SDK and install the Nexus S drivers with it. Its stupid but considering CM7 is based of Nexus S phone those drivers might be needed. On other cases it seemed to help.

lol Glad to hear its working, best of luck. On a side note I really do recommend sticking with I897 roms they tend to work better with the phone. I9000's ported ones would be a close second for GB. Just my 2cents. Im a big fan with Cyanogenmod on other devices like HTC and Motorola, but on SGS they still need some work ^^

I've already got cognition 5 up and running.
I've always been happy with designgear's stuff

Switch from ICS to GB rom

Hi guys
I recently bought a 2nd hand i897, the previous guy installed a icssgs on it.
Although it's running flawless and smooth.
But i decide to switch it back to custom gingerbread rom, because of the camera of it.
Ok the problem is, as far as i see my i897 has CWM installed (+ - & power combo works here). I can go in and out with ease. But my download mode is not working (Tried every methods in one of the contributor's post).
I seen in another post, people said because of the ICS rom stop me from getting download mode.
Later, I tried to install some custom GB roms like Legend 3.7, Apex 12 and also cm7 nightly. But they all failed.
Either stop at the boot screen or can't get passed CWM with some error messages.
My noob question is do i need the odin one click to get my i897 back to kk4, and do everything all over again, if I really want a GB rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843&page=23
I think i have a i897 GB bootloader (as I startup with AT&T white page, and I'm running on icssgs, correct me if i am wrong)
Thx

Yes you do need to do the Odin one click to get back to GB. Since the device has the ICS rom on it you already have the correct bootloaders.
I recommend the ki2 one click, it has boogs kernel with cwm baked in. Since this is a second hand phone you might also want to format the SD card to avoid any gremilns in the future.

Yeah just flash a one click to kk4, you shouldn't need bootloaders. Describe what you are doing to get in download mode

I take out the battery, wait 1 few seconds.
put it back, hold +-
plug in the usb charger
.....it goes straight to charging
I have been google some more.
Somepeople mention by formating the internal SD might solve the problem

yes that would be the thread to get the one click from. Now when I mentioned formating the sd that is to prevent bugs from poping up later, it wont do anything for you now. one method I have used in the past for getting into dl mode is
1 open your odin/hemidal one click on your pc
2 remove phone battery
3 plug in usb to phone and pc
now heres where it kinda gets tricky
4 while holding in vol +and- replace battery
if Loyd is looking down upon you you'll get dl mode

...Maybe cause it's like 1:30 a.m. or I'm totally missin something ---- but who is "Loyd" ?? :/

i have something similar..tried to downgrade to GB from ICS...can't get into DL mode except with a jig. Now the problem is that the computer don't recognize the phone, keep getting "usb device not recognized", so that means Odin won't see the phone. Any suggestions ? TIA

Go Here and try removing the samsung captivate drivers >>>> http://www.petri.co.il/removing-old-drivers-from-vista-and-windows7.htm
Then Reinstall them

From my experience, it's probably your driver has problems.
At the very least, your computer detect your 'plug in' and you can get to download mode
So solving your usb driver is the key

The best way to get back to stock that i have found is KK4-SE-one click just search the forums for it youll have stock rooted gingerbread drivers are already supplied hope this helps

[Q] From 2.3.3 to 4.2, no usb connection

Hello, I've got a Galaxy S, and it works great apart from the usb port. My pc (and others too) isn't able to recognise it. I mean, it detects the phone connected but I can't go further... Already tried with many versions of samsung drivers, kies too, windows 8, 7, xp... It seems that usb port is fault.
So the question is, since there's the 3a recovery on it, is there any way to root, and install CWM on it, without using a pc?
Or am I stuck on 2.3.3?
I've already tried zroot and similars... They just don't work.
Sorry for my English, and thanks to everyone

Have you tried using the USB drivers in this forum?

Thanks for your replies... Yes I've already tried driver, three different versions, with usb debug enabled and disabled... But the result is the same. :/
edit:
When I connect the phone to my pc, I can hear a sound but there're no notification about usb connection.
It's probably hardware-related...
So I was wondering if there's a way to do everything on the phone, without a pc

Mobile ODIN?
installed from external sd?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834428

Yes, I tried exactly that. I guess it hasn't worked because of the 3e recovery, which doesn't allow to flash unsigned zips...
When I try to root the phone through that app, it stucks and then the app crashes.

searching the web... one idea

Download an update of GB from www.sammobile.com/firmwares, I think it may be signed by manufacturer, and install update zip from recovery. Maybe it solve 3e hell.
waiting news...

Thank you very much! I'll try it today and post here the results

I got an error: "E:Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device)

I think you have to find how to "downgrade 3e recovery to 2e" without usb (odin or haid..)
take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
or search on google "downgrade 3e recovery to 2e"

After some days of research, I'm about to give this up...
The last option was downgrading to 2e recovery. No usb working, no root, 3e recovery doesn't let me flash anything.
I haven't found any official/certified/signed firmware released by Samsung which works on 3e recovery, and OTA update doesn't find anything.
Firmwares from sammobile aren't signed, I've tried, they don't work.
Apparently there is no solution apart from getting the usb port fixed, if I want to mod the phone.
Anyway, thank you all!

Unbelievable, but finally I've solved everything
I've just spent an hour scratching the microusb port on the phone, again and again, and now I'm running cwm and rooted 2.3.6
Again, thank you all

Sometimes it is really unbelievable
Small reason and great effect :good:
But it`s perfect when it not works ,fine !!!
So now you can go through to 4.2.2

[Problem] Droid 3 rebooting when screen goes off

I have this strange problem on my droid 3 (I just bought it with this problem).
Every time the screen goes off it reboots.It doesn't happen only when I'm on a JB based rom.I.e,with cm10.1 the Phone works perfectly!But I need Camera functionality,so I could not use it as daily driver!
I tried 6-7 roms gingerbread-based, the steeldroid 5.6(Ics based)and CM9.also stock rom (5.6.890, 5.7.906 and 5.8.25) reboot.
It's not wifi related (it reboots even with wifi off),it's not gsm related (it reboot even in airplane mode),it's not governor related(It reboot set in performance,hotplug,badass,ondemand,userspace...),it's not cpu related(it reboots even if I set Cpu to stay always to the max),it's not account related(it reboots even before setting the account),it's not deepsleep related(it reboots even if I disable deepsleep with wake lock app)
It doesn't reboot when I plug it in Pc but it reboots when it's plugged into the charger..
Help please..I'm going crazy!!

mmmm... looks like it's a storage/kernel problem, try this: unmount the memory card (if you have one) and see if it reboots, after that, connect it to the pc (i guess you did it in memory storage mode) and watch if it reboots, after this, change the usb mode (charge only, windows media, etc.) and for each one, look for a reboot. In the end, try to format both internal storage and memory card (if you have) via pc, BUT, do NOT use quick format, use the long one, and see if anything get better
P.S. after that, you could do an SBF just to be sure that you've restarted from zero!
Bye!

I don't know how to reflash kernel for D3, search somewhere on the forums, but at this point i think this is the problem... i thought this: try the CM9 build with functioning camera (it has the Gingerbread kernel) and see if reboots are still happening, the steel droid 5.6 should be fine, or look for an Hashcode build. If it reboots, then it's definitely a kernel problem, if it runs ok, then it's something related to roms, but i doubt it... This issue is pretty weird!
P.S. I know it's dumb, because you've probably done this with a freshly wiped phone, but could this be originated from an app? i had a problem with a wallpaper changer that freezed my phone on the lockscreen, maybe it's something like that

Ok, now i'm pretty sure that the problem is with the kernel, OR, with a kernel call to a device that doesn't work very well, maybe even the camera... did it works ok? this is the first thing that i'm thinking, because if i'm not wrong, the kexec kernel in the ICS/JB builds is not even calling the camera functions... but i'm pretty trivial now... i hope it's not something like a misplaced component (one of the flat cable connected to the motherboard) but in that case you could just grab a 1€ Torx T5 screwdriver on eBay and see if something is screwed (ha-ha ) hopefully you could do that all by pc and USB port, i'll search a guide to reflash kernel in the D3, and i'll post you the result
P.S. or maybe post a question to all the other guys here on xda that are surely better than me in those tech stuff

Ok, now i'm pretty sure that the problem is with the kernel, OR, with a kernel call to a device that doesn't work very well, maybe even the camera... did it works ok? this is the first thing that i'm thinking, because if i'm not wrong, the kexec kernel in the ICS/JB builds is not even calling the camera functions... but i'm pretty trivial now... i hope it's not something like a misplaced component (one of the flat cable connected to the motherboard) but in that case you could just grab a 1€ Torx T5 screwdriver on eBay and see if something is screwed (ha-ha ) hopefully you could do that all by pc and USB port, i'll search a guide to reflash kernel in the D3, and i'll post you the result

The camera was my first thought..Because every rom with full functioning camera reboots!But Camera works great!I have the screwdriver and I will take a look..but I hope is something software related and if we'll find out a way to reflash kernel it will be terrific!!
The question was for every xda-users!!!Thank you for the answers!

AFAIK the kernel is flashed as part of the rom package, try looking through the /etc folder, as I'm pretty sure it's there, but I can't remember what it's called. There are only 2 kernels for the D3 the stock gingerbread and hashcodes kexec kernel. I've moved on from this device, so I'm reaching into the depths of memory, but you can use moto-fastboot to push the boot.img of the stock kernel, you can get it from sbf.droid-developers.org. Just grab the firmware package for your particular model. I'm not sure if you can flash hashcodes kernel via the same method. I've honestly never flashed a kernel on this device, I've NEVER had the need. Best of luck.

thank you for the help!
in hashcode's roms,the kernel is in /etc/kexec..but I have no idea how I could swap the kernel!!simply swapping Kexec folder between cm10.1(that give me no reboot) and Kexec cm9(that reboots)made Cm9 unbootable..

Original battery arrived..It did not solve my problem..
