Sorry about not posting this in the original thread but I don't have enough posts to post in the dev forum (requires 10)
Anyways, I wanted to know what the following means;
"Do not use this if you know you flashed a -LOW- ODIN package (when opening the PDA***.tar or CODE***.tar you will find inside boot.bin or sbl.bin)"
Is the last part the instruction that will tell me if I have done a -LOW- ODIN?
Thanks
Jerry
Anyone? Please? I cannot post in the dev forum and search has not worked for me for a couple of days?
The easiest way to think of it is, have you ever flashed your phone via Odin this way?
Ah, okay so if I had I would know, so then for me the answer is no, I have only used the normal odin to return to JF6.
Thanks
Jerry

ok, i tried the method posted on samfirmware.com
flashing the jm8 with repartition 512 pit, then doing pit803 jpm with reorient kernel. the issue is whenever i do sd reformat/data wipe, i get some errors during bootup (red lines saying unable to datawipe or something). i went ahead and flashed the jpm with 803, but then i get more errors during data wipe/sd reformat. is there a specific method for flashing JPM with reorient kernel for captivate users? thanks guys.

a) wrong section
b) search is your friend, reaver117 made a very detailed instruction set of how to run i9000 firmwares on our phone, and it's still applicable
c) if you can't figure out a and b on your own, maybe you should stick to captivate firmwares

Not really, he's just tired of people asking the same questions daily, not searching or reading anything, and making their own thread (especially in the wrong subtopic).

lol I would love to know where the "troll" in my post was. I told you to take care of it yourself and pointed you in the right direction. I've seen your posts here and there, and, to be quite honest, they're usually "can be solved by a simple search after 30 seconds."
People ask dumb questions everyday, I actually took the time to be a tad bit civil to you. I don't have to baby you through it when you should be able to take care of it yourself. Whatever, I'm done with this thread and I'll be sure to not help you again.
I am newbie to Android. So, please bear with my questions below. I used to own an iphone before, and when you reloaded the OS that you get from Apple you know it is the original.With Android it is little different.
I rooted my captivate and now I need to return it to AT&T. Need to load the original ROM.
I did download Odin 1 Click for android 2.1 AT&T Stock ROM? How do I know that it is the actual ROM AT&T/Samsung had put on the Captivate?
There are so many ROMS everybody is putting it out there...just wanted to be sure. I know AT&T or Samsung just don't give out the ROM.
If I have posted this in the wrong forum, please let me know.
Thanks
There is a question and answer section for these posts and it is the stock rom, that's what the thread says. Just read how to use and watch the videos if you're having trouble.
If it says stock it *should* be stock. And since it's Odin one click to stock you should be safe.

Look up your build number. If 1010 our higher jf6 iud not such and I would avoid odin one click
Is under battery
It is 1008.
But how do you get the Android 2.1 Stock ROM ?? AT&T or Samsung don't give it out. Am I missing something here.
As I said earlier for iphone you could the get ios file from Apple.
Odin injects the stock rom back into your phone
you need to be in down load mode
Open odin
Pull bat, sim, and ext sd
Put bat back in
Hold volume up and down
While holding plug usb
Should have android with shovel on screen.
A box in odin should turn yellow
Click start, watch the magic
Correct odin. Stock for the captivate is jf6

I am asking once again the same question as nobody is really answering to the question.Sorry about that.
Android is open source. All official software releases are out there.
What are you looking to do, you are not being clear
All I wanted to make sure is that I get the CORRECT ROM to put it back on my Captivate before I return it to AT&T.
Thanks
hmm so when you are told that the odin one click program flashes jf6 stock software (includes all at&t bloat ware) you continue to ask the same question. Good luck
I believe the stock 2.1 rom is embedded inside Odin so when you flash it returns to stock. There is no need to search for the stock 2.1 rom.
please correct me if Im wrong...I'm learning too..
Read the odin thread. Please if you have questions, post in q&a.

This is correct. I HIGHLY advise you to search for Connexions "how to" videos. It shows you how to use odin to return to stock. So easy, a caveman could do it.
Look here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
However, I have to ask the OP this: you mentioned that you rooted your phone, but did you flash to a different ROM? If you didn't flash to a different ROM, all you have to do is to unroot your phone and you're set to go.
LOL I think what the OP is trying to ask is this:
How do we know that Odin is using the correct, stock ROM directly from Samsung/ATT, so that when he flashes the phone with Odin and sends it back to AT&T, they don't tell him hes got the wrong software on it and void the warranty.

I'm so happy that you found it necessary to flame the thread for an answer.
Relax man.
It's natural to be concerned about voiding the warranty. Nobody wants to shell out $$ for a new phone, right? The bottom line is this, numerous people on this forum have done far worse than rooting their phone and have returned it successfully for a replacement (like bricking it). So take a deep breath, and follow some of the good advice given already to either:
A) unroot your phone (look around you'll find how)
B) flash the stock ROM that's out there in numerous locations
then send the sucker back.
But a bit of logic will show that the 3 minutes gave you the WRONG answer.
IF the Odin program had the stock rom we would not have had issues like loss of 3 button recovery on some phones after using Odin. We also would not have 2 versions of Odin. (1 specifically to address the 3 button recovery issue). You also would still be able to perform an OTA update after using Odin, which once again, most if not all the Odin flashed phones are incapable of.
Odin MIGHT have A stock Rom, in which case Samsung/ATT are using more than one, but it does not have THE stock ROM.
Now if the concern is just to get it close enough to return the phone, the guys at the exchange desk don't know enough about the phone to tell the difference.

(MODS, PLEASE MOVE TO Q&A)Sticky Guide for flashing custom ROMs has a broken link?
The top sticky for flashing a custom ROM has a broken link to the ODIN file I need to download. Do you guys know where I can find it now?

Do not post questions in the Development forum. That is why there is a Q&A forum.
If your phone has the 3-button issue, use this one. Otherwise, use this one.
The links in both of those threads should be active.
I have never rooted or flashed my Cappy, so I'm still on stock 2.1. Also, I have never had any issues with the 3 buttons on my device, but briefly looking at the "3-button issue" thread, that appears to be a problem only with people who have already flashed their phones, not anyone with a stock unit. So, if I wanted to root/flash my phone for the first time using the sticky thread tutorial, I would want to use the ODIN link in this thread: "[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY".

Yes, you will want to use the one from the second thread that I posted. Also, look underneath your battery. There will be a four number code (1007, 1008, etc.). What's the code on yours?
between the S/N and SKU the 4 digit number is: 1012, thena short bar code, then it says REV0.4
O wait, I only need to use ODIN if I'm not on a stock 2.1 unrooted Captivate, right?

Don't use 1 click on that build. Or you will be a sad panda.
Edit: correct no reason to flash stock from stock.
Would I be right in assuming that one-click ODIN puts an older version of the stock ROM on my phone, and I don't need to use ODIN at all because I'm not rooted and still on the stock ROM?

That assumption would be correct.
But as stated above. Never use the Odin 1 click that I posted earlier. You will indeed be a "sad panda". Your phone will be bricked.
Anyway, wait for someone else to come along and tell you which Odin to use. I'm not sure myself which one you need for your phone.
But regardless, for your first flash, you shouldn't need to wipe your phone.
Hello moderators, fellow xda members and developers
I am on Cyanogen mod nightly right now and I have issues with my speakers and need to take the phone back to ATT for warranty issues
I am sorry I am a noob but still I did try searching a few threads but I believe there should be a sticky on this as I find info where I am confused if I should use ODIN one click or the FULL ODIN and if I decide to use the full ODIN I cant find the PDA and PIT files
Please help me get back to stock and UNROOT so that I can get the phone exchanged.... Please do reply... I appreciate the time spent on reading my post. KUDOS to all the developers for their hard work for us
Odin one click, if you've used it before and had no problems use that.
If you have a newer build phone and have/had bootloop issues with odin one click, look at the bottom of the odin one click op there are links to pit/pda files for other stock firmwares.
Hello
I have captivate from at&T ( I897). I upgraded last year from eclair to froyo UCJI6 from some site.
Please can some one guide me step by step how to get latest gingerbread. I never had gingerbread on my phone. Upgrading from UCJI6 scares me.
Your help would mean a lot to me.
Thanks
Dillon

I looked at your post but it was confusing for me as i dont know much.
There were two download links..one was boot loader free ..other was different one.
Can you please send me the the right steps and link for downloading
thanks
Another resource is
MobileTechVideos <- good video guides.
That being said, modifiying your phone can lead to hard bricks. So above all read and understand everything. Most of the danger is flashing bootloaders (that's why you see packages with and without bootloaders, to limit the danger). If you corrupt one of the bootloaders or flash 2 different (none matching) bootloaders you need a Jtag or UnbrickableMod service. When flashing Gingerbread you NEED gingerbread bootloaders. Once flashed you are golden and don't have flash those ever again.

i checked above forum where u helped the guy with upgrading UCJI6 to GB.
He had issues while upgrading but eventually he was succesfull.
I could not find which method he used ..
please help me if possible
Read up on how to get in Download mode and how to use ODIN (or Heimdall if you are running a none windows machine). Download a Stock gingerbread rom with bootloaders and flash. The latest is KK4, but i've never used that specific package (though it should have bootloaders) I can speak for KJ3 on that thread.
Basics.
Open ODIN (1 click or not) as admind
Get in download mode (press vol up+voldown+connect to computer
If normal ODIN use the PDA slot and select the .rar.md5 package
Hit start
Let it finish and bootup
???
profit
I'm not responsible if anytthing should go wrong. If odin gets stuck or you do something wrong you will soft brick or possibly hardbrick your phone.
i am giving up.
Can not find any links and steps which are of great help for Upgrading to GB from UCJI6.
Some are going back to 2.1 before upgarding some not.
Dont know what to do
Going back to stock is-was only used for cwm flashes. You will use ODIN. 2 way different things. Follow my steps. Or read through the tons of threads here. It isn't that hard.

he gave up because he couldnt find EXACT instructions on going from one particular FROYO build....because if he had done any actual research, he would know that it doesnt matter what version of FROYO he is on, he will need to flash the ODIN package with the bootloaders....its all covered in the vast damn posts that already cover this extensively. there was ZERO reason to fire up a new thread.
he has been linked to good info and has refused to take heed. reading and UNDERSTANDING is more important than holding hands around here.
Yes we were all noobs once and yes, you need to do your research but he's obviously nervous and not understanding what he's reading right now. Hopefully he'll calm down and understand the information he's been given. We're done here.
