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.
Sent from my Captivate
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

But how do you get the Android 2.1 Stock ROM ?? AT&T or Samsung don't give it out.
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.

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.
Hey,
I used Heimdall to flash KH3 as per the thread, including these steps:
" I'm on stock froyo, kb1, flashed to it using this: heimdall at&t stock firmware package. Can i flash UCKH3 that Adam linked in the OP over this? Is it enough to click on bottom left button (details), then write true in the Flash column to the IBL+PBL, SBL, PARAM rows to flash bootloaders too? Thanks for the answers!
yes. You should not have any problems." (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238093&highlight=heimdall&page=2)
I wanted to double check that after changing those variables to 'true' and flashing I have the bootloaders already flashed. (I understand now that it lets you click 'flash bootloaders' after you flash once successfully, but I wanted to check to see if that is still necessary given the above method). No reason to risk flashing them again if I already got 'em.
Thanks for the help... would've replied directly in development forum but not enough posts
Yes you can, but I don't know if there is a way to root it with one-click yet. I need to release an early 2.3 version before they locked it down.
Btw.. I make Heimdall One-Click which is based on Heimdall by Benjamin Dobell.
It's also worth mentioning that you should flash, and only if it does not work, then flash again with bootloaders.
You really should have asked in the one-click thread.

The flash 'worked' but I'm not 100% sure whether I have the bootloaders.... all the parts seemed to flash correctly though...
The reason I asked in here is because I don't have my 10 posts yet, or else I would definitely have chosen to ask in the correct thread.
I don't really mind that it isn't rooted for now, but it doesn't seem to have an APN list at all so I've got no data. Otherwise, this is definitely the best stock I've ever used, decent battery life and relatively fast performance. Just got a replacement unit, so GPS finally worked for one day... until I flashed and had no data, lol.
Thanks for the help, btw. I probably will try to flash it again and see if that works, otherwise I will boot into windows and try Cog5 or one of the other KH3s with CWM recovery.
*EDIT* Didn't reflash (yet), but found the setting which lets you try the 'default' APN settings, so was able to get the regular cingular/att settings and connect from there. So I'm sticking with stock until a KH3 or newer kernel/rom with CWM+root that looks worthwhile comes out. **
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.

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.
Hey fellas
So after dwelling on the decision to upgrade from GB to something higher (ICS), I have decided to go for it.
Only except now that I'm trying to do it, it all seems to complicated.
Im using :
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9000SRJV1
Kernal Version: [email protected] #2
Buid Number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVN
I've tried rooting via this one-click thing: z4root.1.3.0
But everytime I open it on my phone it says: 'There is a problem parsing the package'
So I have researched it, and apparently this does not work with XWJVN P.S. (Have no idea what that code means)
But I need to root first, which, is the hard part; hence needing some guidance on how to root this phone
Thankyou very much!
Hey there,
Before I begin, the five letter code, XWJVN is like the identification for the firmware you're using.
So I'll make this brief and hopefully simple enough to understand:
1.) Download a stock firmware from http://www.sammobile.com under the "Firmware" section (in the search bar under Firmware just type in I9000 and a whole list should come up). For simplicity of rooting, find XXJW4 (its dead easy to root).
2.) In the I9000 development section somewhere there's a thread about something called CF-Root. Scroll down the thread to the second to last post. There should be a link for XXJW4 CF-Root. Download it.
3.) Also download a version of Odin from these forums somewhere
3) Unzip both the stock 2.3.6 you downloaded and CF-Root.
4.) Make sure the phone has at least 60% battery or so (to be on the safe side). Turn the phone off, and put it into Download mode by holding down Volume Down, Home and Power simultaneously.
5.) Open Odin on your PC. Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable.
6.) Check that the phone has successfully connected (a yellow box saying ID:COM and a number should appear).
7.) Select PDA in Odin and navigate to the stock rom your downloaded (it should be in a .tar file). Select it and DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE. Press Start.
8.) Wait for it to flash in. Let 2.3.6 boot up.
9.) Repeat steps 4 to 7, but this time navigate to the CF-Root file (again, .tar). Again, don;t touch anything else except Start. Wait for it to finish.
And done! You should be rooted, ready to flash any ICS rom.

Yup.
The firmwares are coded by region as well, so XXJW4 is localised for the UK.
As for CF-Root, give me a moment to find the thread again.

The CF-Root you're looking for is on the second to last post on the first page, it says "XXJW4 2.3.6" build or something like that.

Now if I feel that I really don't like the ROM I have flashed, and would much rather revert back to GB. Could I just hook my phone back up to odin, and redo the steps you have laid out for me above? (i.e using the same thing I downloaded when I was flashing)

Which ROM do you use, dude? And what is what you dislike?
Usually, yes, reverting should work fine by using again Odin 1.82 and flashing again the ROM you liked more. GB roms can be easily rooted by Semaphore kernel, which features CWM and if I remember well even root, all-in. Just find the version compatible with your ROM.
Did you try CM10.2? Works great for me.

Yeah man, same steps, except don't flash CF-Root, and instead flash a file called dbsdata.rfs.tar (can be downloaded somewhere in these forums).
Really, after flashing the rom, all you have to do:
1.) The phone will display errors in red in the stock recovery saying it can't mount data, etc etc. Don't worry about it, its normal. Just take out the battery and put it back in.
2.) Get into Download mode, connect to the computer, open Odin. Same stuff as usual.
3.) Select PDA again and then navigate to dbsdata.rfs.tar and select it.

I was just under the impression that perhaps ICS would conserve more battery, not sure if it is?
The lock screen/unlock bit is kinda annoying with the buzz
The apps for Music are ugly and Gallery can't open GIFs, as opposed to the original ones I was using on GB.
What's CM10.2 like?

I remember when I was flashing ICS I had to download gapps, do I need to do the same, or will those files get me through fine?

ICS does conserve more battery, its true. JB has hardware acceleration which does make things either super smooth or pretty laggy, because it does take a hell of a toll on the processor.
Still, CM10.2 is a major improvement over some of the 4.2.2 roms I've tried. Its quite smooth, and I'd say worth a shot. GPS is (reportedly) better, so is battery (it is, at least on the builds I've tried), things are much smoother. There are a few things that need to be fixed though, but for the most part its brilliant.
And if you're flashing ICS only to get to Jelly Bean, you don't need gapps, you can just go straight ahead. You only need gapps if you plan on using ICS as a daily driver.

For battery life people write different experiences....my own was:
ICS4.0x/cm9.1 good
JB4.2x/cm10.1x not so good
JB4.3/cm10.2 very good
I never used buzz, and of course it is matter of own taste
I love CM10.2,the ROM is still in development (it is a mirracle that developer pawitp still works on menawhile "old" i9000 and brings us android 4.3 where Samsung gave up with 2.3.6) I use nightly 20130828 and it works perfect on my i9000. Some other people report different bugs, though. So if you prefer to use only stable ROMs, wait until it gets at least RC
