[Q] captivate froyo 2.2 question

Do you have to root your captivate use the odin?

No. You just have to put it in download mode and flash.

how do you put it in download mode?

If you're lucky this will work:
1.OPEN ODIN FIRST
2. Turn off your phone
3. Plug in the usb cable to the computer, not the phone
4. Hold down both volume buttons and plug in the usb cable to the phone
5. If you get a yellow triangle and an android with a shovel, then click start. If you get a battery, then close odin and unplug and come back and tell me.
6. If you got the triangle in step 5, then just wait about 15 minutes after clicking start, until the box in the top left turns green and says "pass". Then you'll have froyo.

i did it all and nothing happened it just stayed on the download screen

OK Can you load Cognition over the 2.2 Beta or should we go back to JH6,,,,or from JH7
I noticed therer are a lot more "windows" in the Odin Cognition DL What do you do with them PDA/Phone etc and the corresponding files.

Does your odin have just "start" and "master clear" or does it have more like "pda" "phone" and "csc"

yeah my odin just has start and master clear

You can just flash it over. You click on the "pda" button and select the pda.tar file you downloaded and the same with the phone and csc and pit

Is the start button way at the bottom of the window? If it is, that one will get you the stock rom. Theres an ODIN that has options such as PDA, PHONE, CNC, etc. Thats the one you want

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282 this is the one for Froyo. Make sure Odin is started before you plug in your phone and go into download mode. Also, are you on Stock 2.1 with no mods, if you have made modes to your phone you must flash stock first with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989. Then flash the Odin 3 with Froyo. If you have a lagfix installed I siggest you do a master clear because Odin dosen't like lagfix's, that could be causing your issue. Bakcup everything from your internal sd before doing master clear because everything will be wiped.

Continuum v5.1, v5.2 got big trouble

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help

Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..
Sent from my captivate using XDA App

I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)

I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

i flashed to stock room with odin3 1.7 (using PDA + PIT files. i did that successful many times with 2.2 ). but now, with 2.3.3 i got brick( maybe lost boot), although flashed by odin without any errors ( 1 succeed/ failed 0) .
now i cant make the cappy go to download mode. please helppppp.
3 buttons with no interaction !!

sounds like u flashed a stock rom that didnt have old bootloader, safe way to have done it is with non 3 button fix odinoneclick flash to stock. dunno if a JIG will help u get back into download mode

Get a jig and use it to get into DL mode. Please make 100% sure you know what you are doing before you flash.

Use command command prompt. "/android" Then "adb shell" then "su" then "roboot download" might not work with adb but could give it a try

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

If you lost bootloader then you will have to JTAG, if your under warranty you can say you were updating to froyo and it turned off and never turned back on

i was having some issues gettin my captivate into download mode using odin to go back to stock also. what worked for me however was to have usb plugged into comp and phone and THEN hold volume up and down. port was then recognized and i went to download. badda bing badda boom.

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick

I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.

Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.

[Q] SS AT&T Captivate stuck on ATT Splash Screen

Hi, I have a SS/ATT Galaxy S. It was working fine. I made the mistake of running an update to change the ATT splash screen. The device boots to the ATT splash screens and stays there. You can hear the SS start up sounds as though the unit booted ok.
I've tried various Odins they all hang on file analysis. I've tried using different computers per the recommendations in the various threads. I've tried many of the one click and also separate file updaters. They all hang on file analysis.
I am able to use Droid explorer to view the device. I've also put a new update.zip on an sd card but nothing seems to change the splash screen.
I'm not sure how to tell what version the unit is currently on.
I can get to the 3 button state. It says Android System recovery <2e>.
I have the options to reboot, reinstall packages, delete all user data and delete cache data. I've tried each of them, no change.
I have tried to read many threads before bothering anyone. Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks

if you have the update.zip on your phone, in the root of your SD card.. then from 2eRecovery, select reinstall packages.. may have to do it twice. That will boot your phone into clockworkmod recovery.. and from there you should be able to mount storage- put a ROM on your device, flash and be good to go.

Reply to thread
Hi, Thanks for the fast response. I've tried update.zip on both an sd card and also via droid explorer, about 5 times. If I reboot, same thing, the ATT splash is there, and the Galaxy boot sound. I can get into recovery and droid explorer works. If I try Odin it hangs on file analysis. Anything else I can try? Thanks again.

Are you in dl mode when you try this, or recovery?

The phone is now bricked. I was in recovery mode as I saw the 3 button posts on holding the up/down and pwr. I just tried it with dl mode and odin3 and bricked it.(based on another forum's input to check repartition I think). Now it won't boot at all but I'm still able to get to dl mode but not sure what to run to fully recover.

If you can get to dl mode try using AIO Captivate to flash back to stock 2.1. I've had success as I flashed with the partition checked and had to go all the way back using ODIN contained in the AIO Captivate program. Found here

Yeah if you can get into download mode than you are not bricked. I would Odin or Heim back to JF6 and go from there. What happened when you tried reinstalling packages from 2e? I know you said everytime you reboot- but what did it say when selected reinstall packages?

Now on to some real ROM flashing!! Glad you got it working. I did almost the same thing and was sweating bullets.

Yeah, it was quite scary. I actually purchased some 100k resistors on Ebay but didn't need to make the jig.
Can you recommend a good set of f/w to load? Is it worth it to move to 2.3?

Of course it is worthed it to move to 2.3 I mean, it comes with so many more features and is running just perfect as a everyday rom. You shouldn't be disapointed

+1.
I had to make a jig when I soft bricked it. Not fun. Since then I purchased one and am glad I did.

Well, that means I won't have wasted my $2.00.
I saw this and thought it worth to try. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0aoabVtPJ8
In your footer, it says you're using mosaic.
e.g. ROM: Mosaic III, ¤Kernel: Xcal's #14, ¤Modem: JK4, ¤Launcher: ADW Ex
Can you point me to the correct files/process? I guess I'm scared of screwing it up again. when I look on the forum there's almost too much info for a noob to choose which is best. Cheers...

galaxy tab sgh-t849 I need professional help

I just got this tab and like every other android i get I rooted it. I used superoneclick -- worked fine. then downloaded cwm and flashed the recovery. of course when i went into recovery it was 3e so i couldnt actually use cwr without the bypass fix. Anyway -- i used some recovery fix -- which i think was for a vibrant -- wasn't thinking. Once it rebooted into recovery it showed some yellow letters then went blank. The computer still recognizes it but the tab won't boot. i can reset it by turning it off and on but it only shows tmobile splash and the yellow letters scrolling in recovery then goes blank again. please help. i've been reading everything but no one seems to have had this problem.
thank you very much

Put it in a blender, jk, send it back to samsung.

is that really my best option??
i figured there would be some manual way to reflash the recovery or maybe complete firmware with a recovery built in. it will still go into download mode -- like i said the computer still recognizes it but I just don't know where to start. ive never used odin and not a pro at adb/sdk but i can usually follow directions pretty well. i've rooted g1's, mytouch 3g fenders slides, inspires, atrix, vibrant, captivates so i'm not giving up yet. i know someone is willing to help.

from the off position, when you press and hold volume down then a moment later without letting up from volume down also hold power button until lights turn on, what does it do?

download all below zips, and unzip them
run it usb driver. say yes to everything. plug in tab to computer in download mode. let it install tab drivers
unplug tab.
open odin
Watch the first box on the left. ID:COM
plug in tab to comp in download mode.
That box should light up yellow, that means your tab in connected and ready to go.
place unzipped stock rom in PDA.
Press Start.
When done it should say all threads completed, and your tab should restart on its own.
Let it boot, and welcome back to stock Tmobile
uploads are taking a bit, be patient.
Do you want stock 2.2, or 2.3?

yes -- it goes into download mode
sounds promising -- thank you -- i will keep you updated on the progress.
prefer 2.2 where it was.
thanks so much

Let me know what your tab currently says in settings, about device.
Hold down the back arrow, and while still holding a second later, press you powerbutton. Let go.
Shoulda taken a screen shot. Uoload it here or just write it down.
I can guide you from there.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 ATT LTE version SGH-i957
So I think I made a boo boo... My friend told me about rooting the device and getting ICS on it a long time ago, so I successfully did that and ran it for over a year... But I wanted to sell it so I did a factory reset. Everytime I reset it would be blank and I would have to choose a recovery backup from CWM. So I did that, but it kept recovering my stuff and what not. So I deleted the backups. Well now that I did that I have nothing but CWM only... And I try connecting it to the computer b/c I know if I can just get the stock image I downloaded on it I'll be good. However, it doesn't install the driver for MTP. I do see it showing as Samsung ADB Android Device but I have tried everything I know and then some to get it to recognize to the computer but I can't. I have one stock image in md5 I tried doing through Odin, then I have two others that are boot.img with the directories. Is there any other way to get the zips on the tablet so I can install through CWM? Or am I just done? thanks!
