I currently have Andromeda 1.2 on my Cappy and am really happy with it. I've been thinking of upgrading to 2.2 when it comes out tomorrow just to see how it functions - Then, go back to Andromeda.
Basically, I know how to use ODIN to flash the phone, but I always hear about disabling LagFix and some other programs before flashing to stock. Can anyone give me some pointers? Is there anymore to it then just using Odin to reflash (Download mode)?
Any help would be great.
Disabling lagfix is for when you are not flashing back to stock, ie. from cog to phoenix. If you are using odin there is no need to disable lagfix.
You will probably have to use Odin 1-click and Master Clear, but make sure to do a backup a la Titanium Backup and store it on your desktop. Then you can Flash back to stock after Master Clearing. I had a lot of trouble getting back to stock after unlagfixing; to make a long story short just Master clear and save yourself a lot of trouble.
After that I was able to reroot and restore my TiBu backup onto the stock Froyo. There is even already a stock 2.2 Captivate kernel with Voodoo lagfix injected, which has been giving me great lag-free performance, battery life and stability that can't be found in I9000 kernels.

Between 2.2 based ROMs I've been returning to stock via Odin 1-click without master clearing. Am I rolling the dice on having problems?
Is Cognition the stock 2.2 + Voodoo ROM you mention?

You dont need to flash to stock every time. 99% of the time its just an absolute waste of your time as the rom your flashing "should" be wiping everything out anyway.

So could I simply be flashing from ROM to ROM w/o attaching to my PC at all? Would it be lower risk if I was staying w/ the same family of SGS based ROM (I9000)?

I am a bit apprehensive using Oneclick with a 1012 build phone. I've been told to ONLY use Odin3, which has no master clear.

I plan on using the Odin3 (NOT oneclick), but will it do a master clear?
...and to confirm - I don't have to do ANYTHING special to flash back to stock? I don't have to turn off any apps/features? Just simply open Odin, get the phone to download mode and reflash??

I generally disable any lagfix I have before I flash, some dont. Don't take my word for it. Read until you are comfortable doing it.

Hey guys I am obivously a beginner, but I read the whole thread about the Froyo Cognition and didn't see a whole lot on this. My questions are as follows:
1) Can I flash Cog 2.2.4 straight over 2.1 with the JH7 update???
I updated to JH7 through the phone striaght from stock and since then I have only rooted and installed the One Click Lag Fix by RyanZA. Most of the posts I saw required many users to revert back to JF6 via Odin, but I wanted to know if I had to or not since I am still on 2.1. I know I will definitely want to uninstall the lag fix before trying to flash. Does anyone wanna chime in and help me out?? Tips or some good instructions for the process would be great!

as u stated....uninstall the lag fix and your good.
most of us who have flashed quite a bit know it's much cleaner, easier and sometimes helps avoid odd errors/FC's by flashing odin one click restore to stock then flashing DG's rom.
it's very easy...forget the lame multi key press sh*t to get into recovery or download mode.
use adb
and if you dont know adb commands
adb reboot download

Okay, so someone with experience would say that if I reverted back to stock with Odin before flashing the Cog rom, I would run into less problems? And when I am uninstalling the lag fix I remove the actual lag fix and the ext2 files right??
Hey guys I have a rooted captivate running froyo. I want to try the Cognition v2.3b3 rom with lagfix, but I no idea where to start. Do I need to flash back to stock or can I just load the rom?

you should be able to flash over but it is considered good practice to start from stock, also i think you need ji6 froyo before jj4 froyo which cog2.3b* are based on, so the accepted proper procedure is masterclear and flash jf6 from the one click installer get android id with android id changer, flash ji6, also a one click installer, and then flash cognition. all with odin. you can clockwork recovery flash cognition but it is another proceedure to root ji6. after cognition is installed reinstall android id changer and load the id from the stock rom.
i usually flash over without lashing to stock ect unless the flash over has issues. and overclocking is handled in the kernel you need to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828052
with odin, no .pit file needed just drop file in the pda slot and flash in download mode. overclocking is enabled by default so you need set cpu to manage it.
there is a link to an app to manage under volting, my settings are -50mv low and -75 high. it also handles the scheduler, i use cfq. anticipatory seems to work eqaully well. some suggest deadline and it may be better real world but i dont see it in benchmarks. and real world is too subject to placebo effect and coincidence.
this kernel also has a universal lag fix handled in clockworkmod recovery which replaces the stock recovery. best setting for that is no rfs jfs overkill but in the advanced settings disable bind to dbdata. it's fast! 17.299 mflops in linpack, and it's the first time that i have had a lagfix improve a linack score(at least it appears to)
Here is the steps that got me from ji6 2.2 to cog.
First if you don't already get titanium back up and back up all of your apps you don't want to loose and copy the file to your computer and remove external SD card if you have one.
Then i used the 2.1 version of odin one click to go back to 2.1 after that do a master clear then root your phone and down load rom manager. Using rom manager flash the clockwork recovory mod.
Next download cognition 2.3b3 then go back to rom manager and select install rom from sd card and find your cog rom you just down loaded and it will do the rest
Once cog is on your phone you can put you titanium backup file back on your phone and redown load titanium backup and restore all of your apps.

Check out the Cog wiki.

If you have clockwork installed, you can install over any rom. I would clear data to be on the safe side, though.

no you cant. it will only work if he has 2e recovery kernel. if it was the ji6 leak then it is running 3e recovery and no matter how hard you try, it wont boot into clockwork.

use the ODIN version of cognition. doesnt matter what rom you are on...
Ok so I am trying to flash cog via oden. I downloaded the file and am looking at the how to on the wiki but, in the wiki it says that all the files will be in the download Odin.exe PIT.pit PDA.tar PHONE.tar CSC.tar. The only files that I am seeing are the pda file the odin.exe and the pit file none of the other ones. Is this normal?

Ok just flashed and that went well, but it wont let me open any apps. For example when I try to open up tibu it tells me I have to force close. I also dont have 3g
i dont know if there that is a common issue, but im sure you will need to reflash. you may want to flash to stock.
it's a multi step procedure and annoying but it is usually safer , i guess i got lucky.
i dont know for sure if you need to flash ji6 before cog 2.3b, design gears may have fixed that, i didn't read the details of why it was needed.
i would;
(optional)master clear, remove sim and sdcard. you will loose everything including titanium backups and posibly nand backups. master clear is done with the phone booted normally.
flash jf6
flash cognition 2.2 by meathod of your choice (so you have root and clockwork recovery)
flash cog 2.3b3 in clockwork mod recovery.
I don't know iflosing every thing is worth it for me, I really do want to flash this rom and try it out, but right now seems risky, I flashed back to froyo that I was running before. I thibk I'm going to do some more research and see what I can find. Thanks for all your help guys
i have read some good things about Axura RC2.2 CE. so im very interested in flashing it. im currently running cog 2.1.7 is there any reason i couldnt just use rom manager and flash it right now. or should i flash back to odin stock and then re root grab rom manger again and then flash Axura RC2.2 CE? and in the instructions it said to backup with titan just data and apps but not system data, why is that?

The reason why people recommend ODIN first before flashing new ROMs is because lagfixes and other stuff can cause problems for certain users. Usually you can flash directly from another ROM no problem, but like I said, ODIN and most of your problems will disappear.
As for not backing up the system data, you can backup your system data. Just don't restore it as this can cause a lot of problems. There are framework differences, etc. between ROMs especially 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs. Restoring system data will cause FC city in most ROMs.
i just tried flashing and my phone got stuck in some mode where it kept saying stuff about partitioning and my sd wasnt found.. so lame
i backed up my stuff on titan and saved it to my computer ill try again after i root. hmm weird now its not running the zip file..
Did you Odin 1 Click back to stock first?
Never a good idea to flash over the top of another custom ROM as the guy above me stated already.
You always want that "clean slate" to start with to avoid issues like this. Then you can safely restore your applications and application data - but people have problems restoring system data - so I never do.
Odin 1-click back to stock and try again - it should work fine.
i just ended up odin one clicking it to froyo. which im loving right now so ill keep it like this for a bit. when i had reset my phone to stock i tried axura again but it wasnt running the zip for some reason..after im donewith 2.2 ill go to stock and try axura one more time.

Hmmm..
Easy method to ensure success:
Odin 1-Click back to OTA JH7 2.1 ECLAIR Stock (not 2.2 Froyo)
Root using CLShortfuse's Root application.
Then update to Auxura as normal and it should work fine.

No you can not revert bacj to your stock 2.1 from 2.2 using clockwork with a captivate
Can you explain how to wipe system /cache/dalvix cache or post link i googled it but found nothing with step by step instructions. I would like to try this before odin. Also why does it let you create a back up of 2.1 rom if you cant revert back there from 2.2 then whats the point of backing up 2.1 in the first place. Just thought you could do that instead of odin after reading a post which I was going to post the link to here but wont let me cause Im too new.

I do not recommend flashing phoenix over cognition without a flash to stock, but if you want to try, you can.
Cognition uses voodoo. First thing you should do is disable it.
Find voodoo file in your internal sd. Create a folder in side voodoo folder named disable-lagfix. Reboot phone.
Ok its disabled, but If Odin is the best way to go maybe I should try it but just been reading about higher risk of bricking phone using odin. Just really want to try different rom because cognition it smooth as butter but battery life is killing me compared to stock and yes I tried the charging battery to 100 then unplugging shutting down charging to 100, reboot, shut down then to 100 again no help. Anyways if I use Odin does voodoo have to be disabled also.
Pull your battery. Obviously power off first. Under battery is a build number, mine is 1008. Tell me yours
mine is 1010
Odin may be difficult to use. You may want to research your build more. Anything over 1008 is where odin is an issue
What is your base
Settings, about phone, bottom
Damn i didnt want to hear that,Says baseband version I897UCJI6 is that it.
Yes that is it.
Being on build 1010 I an not comfortable with telling you how to proceed. You need advise from someone who flashes with that build. It behaves differently with odin. I am sorry. Search build 1010
Ok thanks for your help, Ill look around
If you've never flashed with Odin one-click before, try this instead to avoid any risk of bricking (very likely on some build 1008-1010 phones that don't run JF6 stock):

Me And several people I suggested it to. But now I have a batch 1009 Captivate (traded in mine because of random shutdown issue).
saved my cappy once
I guess I'm confused...is odin really necessary at all for him? If he disables voodoo lagfix, and clears dalvik cache, he should be able to flash over the top...correct?
I flashed cognition 3.02 direct to andromeda 2.0 via cwr and did not clear dalvik or disable lagfix (since cog and andromeda both enable voodoo)...no problems for me.
Maybe it's different/more complicated flashing over the top to the ROM he wants to go to though...
i897 running Andromeda 2.0
so i have a captivate that ive had for a little while now. and of course ive flashed a few different gingerbread roms like usual.
anyways i wanted to try a froyo from so i used the odin 1 click stock tool to flash back to jf6,
that worked, but for some reason it wont allow me to master clear.
also my phone keeps switching between showing service, and a blue circle with a cross out sign....

if i flash a rom over it, it starts acting like normal again

This happened on one of my old cappies that i got replaced. It was a 1008 build. It's an error in the efs folder. Did you make a backup of your efs folder before you started flashing?
If you didn't here's a method that worked for me that might get you back to normal. What i did was use Kies mini to upgrade to stock 2.2 then make sure the botton combos were working (vol up+dwn/plug usb to get to download mode, and vol up+vol dwn + power to get to recovery.) If those are working, now flash back to stock using Odin 1 click.
This wokred for me. hope it helps.
If you have your original efs folder, use Root Explorer to place the original folder ni place of the current one while on stock 2.1, then reboot to see if it worked.
What Gingerbread Roms did you "play" around with, I'm guessing you used the I9000 bootloaders also?

Your going to want to flash back to eclair (imho) or froyo if you'd rather, but it will have to be done through odin without a 1 click method. If you know what I'm talking about all good. If not lemme know and I'll help ya to the links, cleaning the kitchen atm but its all good

Op if everything works after you rom it and you have no plans to go to stock does it matter?
It could just be how the phone acts with the jf6 modem as its a signal problem...

Couple things for the Master Clear
1. Make sure to shut down Odin then restart it without the phone connected
2. If that doesn't work restart your PC
3. If all else fails, root, install ROM Manager, get into CWM and do a factory reset
Like Studacris said, Odin to JF6 flashes the proper bootloaders, so you dont need to worry there. I've done it TONS of times
Edit** Are you using this Odin?
http://www.mediafire.com/?0w2y31maz8mdom4 If not, I would HIGHLY recommend using it

Ok, but that would be a good thing, you can just use the signal problem as an added reason for sending it in. If you can flash stock and it boots, all is well. Anything else just goes in your favor of why you deserve a new one.
Plus, if the phone stops working to the point it does not boot they will have no real way of telling what was running before, nor will they waste the time to find out. It will get tossed into the re-write pile, and go thru the paces for becoming a referb.
You do realize that the phone has to be regularly on to do a master clear and not be in download mode right?
