Hello, I am in desperate need of the stock update. zip
Someone post it here please
no such thing as a stock update.zip
stock rom? they are already posted in the Dev section.
and they arent called update.zip.
SEARCH read. learn. BEFORE YOU FLASH
and the title of this thread SUCKS
Yea stupid swipe messed up the title, and what I meant is the update. zip that comes on the sdcard with kb1
there isnt one...
update.zips are meant to update something as far as stock goes (samsung)
WE use many update.zips to do lots of stuff. root, add CWM without flashing kernel, or to flash rom/kernel packages skipping a temp CWM.
what update.zip are you looking for?

In order to update to the newest Cognition, how would I go about that? Would all of my apps be deleted?

To add to this question. I have a base of John but my update failed. I was using the ryanza lagfix but removed it. I can not use Odin to flash stock because I do not have a windows PC. Is it safe to flash cognition using clockwork?
Base of jh7
Why would you ask this question here? This is thread specific. In his thread he took away data wipe but it is now back because of issues. So what you can do is either load the newest cognition over the top or if you prefer wipe and install the zip file. Just look around the dev forum and find your answer as it is easier in the long run to know where to find the info in case you ever mess your phone up.
I was having trouble searching using the stock browser so I just created a new thread. Is there a way to flash to stock using cwm for people who want to flash a new rom but aren't at their computer?
No only Odin. Questions go in Q & A
I find it hard to believe that there is no way to flash to stock from CWM. There has to be a way to make JH6 or something like that into a ROM that I can flash. Some way to restore to out of the box condition without a computer. I hate talking like this because I dont develope anything, and thinking that it is easy is quite nieve.

Bad information! You have to search Development thread a bit, it's been awhile so the answer is buried. It's not JF6 but close enough.
I897UCJH7 - OTA System, Kernel, Modem - Clockwork Flashable - Rooted
Hey,
I want to revert back to stock 2.3.4 but I want to keep root and clockwork etc, so anyone know where I can get a stock 2.3.4 flashable zip?
Right now I am on CM7 latest
Thanks
i found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061648
if i download this rom from the thread:
GRJ22 OTA (stock vanilla - odexed, unrooted):
http://www.mediafire.com/?shsmauak48b8hc4
MD5: 3B2B7B0BAAAA803365A573FC3864A150
is that the original stock 2.3.4?
anyone?........
The mediafire one is linked to a stock 2.3.4 that is deodexed that is still unrooted. If you want to read up on what deodexed means, check out this article.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
You will still need to root this ROM.
In the thread, the top link is "stock" 2.3.4 but rooted and deodexed (along with the other things he mentions in the thread).
Basically, you have two options. Use PASSIMG to get your phone back to stock and update to 2.3.4. Then, if your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery and flash one of the many su.zip files out there that give you root access. This will truely be a rooted stock 2.3.4 install. If you want the easier route, use the link in the thread you referenced above.
I built one about a month ago for someone who wanted the same thing, but I'm struggling to find it...
EDIT: I've just thrown something together, if you still need it? Basically, I removed the stock recovery from the GRI40 and GRJ22 updates, so that you can flash them without losing recovery. You can then flash the su zip, and you will be updated, with root...
Tested, and it works...
The OTAs were just updates (about 5mb) from previous versions so there is not stock full system zip. You would probably need to flash stock 2.3.3 then you can flash the 2.3.4 update. Now there is also a 2.3.6 update that is flashed from 2.3.4.

Danger-rat,
please can you upload it.
I currently have 2.3.3 rooted somehow :S and it keeps FC sometimes and the default music app cant read my songs... but rootexplorer can. So i want to get a clean rom see if it all works. and ofc keep recovery.
As noted in the thread, this is something I've just thrown together. It's basically the full GRI40 update, and the GRJ22 update patch with the stock recovery and recovery restore scripts removed from both- this means your custom recovery will not be over written.
Backup your apps (Titanium, or whatever)
Boot into recovery.
Make a backup of your current ROM
Do a full wipe
Flash GRI40
Flash GRJ22
Flash the su zip
Reboot
Restore your apps...
Here are the files:

sorry i just pm'd you and you've already replied ages ago. That tea break took longer than expected... thanks again !
/edit just figured it out i think. gonna give it a shot.
/edit2 i think i screwed it up, i was trying another stock rom i found and it seems to have done something, so i cant run my apps and do an app back up, which is no biggie from what i remember it just takes AGES to re-download. and set up settings etc. also no rom back up atm
but as long as i get back i hope its ok
YES thanks Danger-Rat
Brilliant help, absolutely no errors. just gotta restore apps and settings now.
Thanks again
Wow I feel like a horse's ass for asking this but it's probably been a year since the last update I flashed, and I've googled and googled for info but I'm googled out. I also checked the dev section but I dont see what I'm looking for so forgive my stupid question: I'm getting the incessant 2.3.6 OTA notification so I need to update to 2.3.6, I'm on 2.3.4 I think it's a stock version. I tried flashing the 2.3.6 update zip that i downloaded, that didn't work and from what I think I remember that was a stupid thing to try anyway. I'm pretty sure I'm looking for a full 2.3.6 stock rom/build/zip, but I've had no luck in my search. Basically I just want the latest rooted full stock rom to flash. My bootloader is unlocked or I would honestly just unroot and install the OTA, I've no use for root anymore anyway. Can anyone throw me a bone? Thanks

or
if you want back to stock, flash this (in recovery or in HBOOT as PASSIMG.ZIP, whichever way you want):

Awesome, I appreciate your help
Hello All,
This is my first post! But I have been visitor of this forum for some time now. Its been a great learning experience! OK ...let me come straight to the point..
Important Phone Specs:
-Samsung Captivate with stock ATT froyo (UCKB1)
-rooted, installed one-click lag fix (other minor things, like removed all bloatware, overclocked etc.)
I am planning on changing the icons in the notification bar (for example battery icon mod) using UOT (ultimate online theme kitchen) and I have the UOT zip file ready.
Q1. It is not clear if this zip file can be flashed from the stock recovery mode.
Per my understanding, these are unsigned files and hence might not work with stock recovery mode. Can some one please confirm?
Q2. If stock recovery mode does not work, then I plan to install clockwork mod recovery from the ROM Manager apk available on the market.
a) Since I will be using a custom recovery image, I assume I will no longer be able to use KIES to perform any stock updates if and when they become available. Is that correct?
b) How easy is it to revert back to stock recovery? Can you please let me know the procedure (or) point me to a link with this information?
The reason I ask is because I would like to stay stock as much as I can for the moment.
Thanks all for your help.
Regards.
I have used the UOT kitchen zips on stock KB1 but not with the stock recovery. I think you have to use CWM recovery. There's really no reason to go back to stock recovery. If you ever want to use Kies in the future to get updates (assuming ATT ever releases GB through Kies), you would have to flash back to stock anyway for Kies to recognize the phone.
Jackman,
Thanks for the response. I agree with you. I am not hopeful that ATT would release GB any time soon for captivate...so yeah I makes sense to go ahead with the CWM recovery.
I just wanted to know the pros and cons before I get started with the process.
read the how to flash custom roms link in my sig. new user guide too, find the part about stickies.
#1 correct.
#2 rom manager is only good for froyo roms on captivate... there are froyo kernels with CWM built in and tweaked that run fine on stock roms, but you must Odin flash the kernel.... which leads to...
#3 keis is garbage we use odin, the official samsung flasher utility. and we flash the same .tar files keis uses.
#4 easy to get back to stock. odin-one-click stock flashes are ONE CLICK. Sticky in Captivate Dev section. (use new user guide to find.)
Kies is trash. Even if you go back o stock, you probably need to modify code to make sure your phone's ID is still the correct one. It really isn't worth it considering Kies is just ODIN with a different UI and a craptistic amount of "checks" wich makes it fail 90% of the time.
I hardly ever have problems with odin. odin 1.3 sucked 1.5and newer work great. the homemade one clicks can be buggy. md5 check wont let you edit file names of tars. other than that i DONT have problems. its all i use. dont like heimdall and having to change my drivers for it.
