I can use the Odic OCD to return to stock 2.1 firmware no problem. However I can ONLY use the final-REV0 version of the Odin OCD. I have another version but it doesn't work. It will run through the downloading screen, download the files say PASS! and then it won't go past the AT&T globe boot screen. I don't understand why this is happening? Also if I root the phone (which is always successful) load up CWM and try to install a custom ROM, it does the same thing.
stay with what works for you, since cappy has different build numbers.

for the custom roms clear dalvik cache.
also there are 2 ocd versions one is a froyo internal beta and is buried somewhere deep in the pages of the development section so any reference to ocd is assumed to be the 2.1 jf6 version. other than that it is not a ocd(one click downloader) but is a full version of odin.
you should have odin3 v1.7 for flashing the captivate if you choose not to use the one click version. also dont click repartition if you dont have the pit file in place. and if you have the pit file and you select repartition you need to make sure you are not flashing a rom that lacks .rfs images for data or dbdata or other.

Here is what I did, step by step.
Bought my phone 3 months ago
Opened I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 version of ODIN OCD.
Held down volume buttons
Plugged in phone
Booted to download.
Hit start button in I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 version of the ODIN OCD
Waited for the phone to reboot, I didn't even touch the phone until it was done, and in ECLAIR.
Phone info shows:
Firmware version:
2.1-update1
Baseband version:
I897UCJF6
Kernel version:
2.6.29
[email protected] #2
Build number:
ECLAIR
Went into settings, and turned on Debug
Ran Master clear in I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 version of ODIN OCD.
Restart phone
Boot into recovery
Root phone....successful
Boot into recovery
Load CWM (it's weird though, after I loaded into the recovery menu and hit re-install packages instead of jumping straight into CWM it restarted the phone, I had to go back into recovery and hit re-install packages again, and then it loaded CWM)
Install .zip from SD
Choose .zip form SD
Install Serendipity.zip
Install ran
(IN CWM)
Go back
Go back
Reboot phone (select)
Phone shuts off, turns on, shows ATT globe screen, and won't go any farther. I have let it sit for 3 hours once. Nothing. I can no longer go into recovery, but I CAN go to Download. This process has been going on for the last day and a half. I have tried different ROMs and even tried going to GB. Am I really stuck with a rooted 2.1 ECLAIR Cappy? Even though when I bought the phone it had Froyo on it?
The steps looks fine for me ...

If so, it's 1007.
All of my problems seem to be related to zImage. I deleted the zImage file that comes in the Updates folder of Serendipity, and the phone actually tried to boot. It tried to do its thing (what a ROM will normally do the first time it boots) but I got an error (I expected it, but I now know that all of my problems are related to the zImage file. My phone will accept and use the one with ODIN OCD, but nothing else.
zimage is your kernel, in case you didnt know.

when i opened camera, my screen became black and it has stayed ever since...
i restart my phone and it shows the boot screen, the s shimmers for a long time and then black screen again....
and i cant seem to get into recovery mode.... i have tried many times...
EDIT:got into recovery mode after 100 tries....what do i do now?
i have tried wiping data, and clearing the cache....doesnt solve the issue...
my phone is rooted.....i dont think i'll have warranty..
please help!!!!!
if you have 3 button combo working (download mode working) find some rom which you want to install and do it by odin.
best to find middle package (Richtchofen ones with his instructions, they quite plain and simple)
you could try put only pda part of the rom without repartition
if it will be stock room the same as you have now in your phone your warranty will be untouch

No make sure you flash the stock fw and use the 512 pit and have all options,ticked
Just find and read instruction how to proper repartition phone and flash it in Richtrofen posts (short and simple) which include links to roms.

I have been through a mess of attempts to root my phone and put it into 2e recovery so I could install custom mods, and ended up with nothing but an old version because I had to flash it on to be able to use it.
I'll try to explain the process.. first I had 2.2 firmware with JPC, was rooted already with superuser and then I tried to flash it into 2e recovery but when it finished the phone booted up, got in the main screen where you swipe the screen to unlock but got stuck there after a couple seconds, started vibrating randomly and shut down.
After that happened I flashed an original i9000 tar on it and it came back to life, unrooted and in JP6.
The first time I tried to flash it into 2e I forgot to run odin as an admin, so I thought that was my mistake so I went ahead and tried it again with a JP6 version and ran odin as admin, but the same exact thing happened... gets stuck in the same place so I flashed the original again.
I'm on a EU Galaxy S I9000 JP6 Froyo.
Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

I can get into download mode fine, do I flash the 512 PIT file and the PDA_XWJVH_Sbl.tar.md5 file together? also just to make absolutely sure because I heard the partition thing can brick my phone, should it be checked for this particular flash?

You should only use the repartition option when flashing a 3 file firmware. You can get them from samfirmware.com. The JVB firmware has all 3 files so I would download it.
Once downloaded open Odin and stick the files in the required fields. Insert your .pit file and select repart.
Once you have booted in to JVB you can then flash JVH using Odin in the PDA field with NO repartition.
Once booted into JVH I would use CF Root kernal to get root access

yes i second that,,got me ouy of trouble a few times
Similar to Masterslackers issue.
The phone was originally a stock Optus Éclair 2.1. About 6 months ago I decided to customize the i9000 with a custom Froyo 2.2.1 Rom (Doc's Rom Docs_XWJS3_Wipe-v9_1) from “The ROM Kitchen”. It worked really well and was much faster and responsive..
Yesterday, I decided to look at a move to Gingerbread and cook another ROM @ the ROM Kitchen, this time a Gingerbread 2.3.4 iteration.
The phone was rooted so I used Rom Manager to get into recovery mode where I could flash my new, Doc's JVR_No_Wipe-v8-00-08-22-10-09-4e6a8e4e86718.zip Rom.
All seemed to go well, but after the Flash, as the phone booted the first screen became filled with 100s of random coloured lines, then it transitioned to the normal Samsung start animation, but soundless.
After booting, I noticed that I no longer had a notification bar where battery, time, signal strength etc. was normally displayed atop the screen. I tried several different launchers to see if that was the issue, but to no avail. I tried to enable the notification bar using Go Launchers gesture setting (no go)
I tried rebooting the phone over and over, the notification bar would not return.
I was starting to lament my decision to flash when the following occurred.
I tried to re-enter recovery mode via ROM Manager to install a different ROM, but the phone bypassed it and then hung @ the Samsung I9000 logo screen. I then had to power the phone off before it would reboot into its UI. I could no longer reach recovery mode by any means.
Because I was getting nowhere and I had read that after flashing a new rom, root would often be lost, so I tried rerooting with "XXJVP-Complete-Rooting-Package" from
http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s-on-android-2-3-4-xxjvp-firmware/ This also failed but it has also left me with a soft bricked phone.
The phone will not boot up or boot into recovery now, however It would still boot into (3 button) download mode.
I have tried various versions of Odin from v1.0 to v4.28 to ReFlash the phone back to life but with no success yet.
Using Odin, the phone hangs with no sign of progress and reports the following when left for 30minutes or so.
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
Anyone have any suggestions that might help to get the phone back.
Thanks, TeZ
So you didn't flash stock gingerbread before flashing custom rom? so you should first flash stock jvr and do hard reset after booting. Then you are safe to flash cwm capable kernel and custom rom.
For the odin problems, maybe you have kies running in background? Kill all kies processes and try again.
And I'd suggest reading all guides found in romkitchen thread..it saves lots of trouble. Hope that can fix your phone

Agree with above post, if you have Klies on your pc/laptop uninstall it, and re download the drivers, i have a good 2.3.4 tutorial and root 2.3.4 tutorial, both with Odin, let me know if interested. Also if you have heimdall installed then uninstall it also.
After you unistalled Kies (or at least stop it) and installed the drivers , pick a stock rom with bootloader from Ramad collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 .
I prefer Odin 1.82.

Thanks for your input, right now i need all the help I can get, hadn't heard of heimdall before. I guess its one more thing I could try if all else fails. But right now I'm going to try a few more conventional things with odin, like flash a stock rom etc.

Thanks for the info, running out of time today, will try for tomorrow
When moving from a froyo (2.2) rom to gingerbread, (2.3), you need the gingerbread bootloaders or you'll get all sorts of crap when turning on your phone (ie what you have).
Use odin to flash back to froyo, or flash a gingerbread firmware that comes with bootloaders. (I would recommend going back to froyo first to make sure everything is ok, since flashing bootloaders is a bit risky, as messing it up can permanently brick your phone)

Ok, here's where I'm at:
For the sake of simplicity I will detail what gave positive results rather than a tirade of what didn't.
Uninstalled Kies, rebooted
As instructed, went to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
downloaded: Odin v1.82
downloaded: Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Australia and New Zealand)
XWJVN/XXJVQ/XSAJV5/Sbl (CSC: XSA): Download (150 MB) (Build date: Sun Jul 10 11:30:54 KST 2011)
Loaded up Odin and followed instructions.
Flash went ahead as normal and I now have a working phone again, thanks to you DSGE, I'm a very happy man
So I now have Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed and running.
My only issue's now is, that.
1. Half my apps dont work now or force close even after a reinstall.
2. Some apps won't install at all IE; my fav launcher; Go Launcher
3. I no longer have root access so Rom Manager and Titanium backup wont work.
4. My Backup Pro, works after I rewrote the correct path to the External Sd, but do I want to do that just yet? and just how much data should I reinstate so I don't corrupt the new system?
What should I do now?
Install busybox?
do a hard reset?
Flash a different Rom that will work for me?
Thanks so very much for all the good advise.
Cheers
First root the phone, then either a different rom, or format system and re install 2.3.3 or which ever u just installed, i think ure apps are not working due to the phone needing a wipe/reset and cache cleared from clockwork recovery

Seems to relate to 2.1 to 2.2.1 didn't see any mention of 2.3.3. I'm afraid I'll stuff the phone if I use the old root files.
Tried everything I could with Odin and phone still stuck in a start loop.
I was downgrading from checkROM to official firmware ZSLA2 with CWM (I wanted to keep ROOT, so I selected "Keep CF-Root kernel") due to stability issues, after restarting the phone got into the start loop.
I flashed with Odin official ZSLA2 with the same result (looped start). I flashed XXKKA (again looped start). During the flashing process, Odin says the flashing was successful. By the way, both ROMS are tar.md5 files.
I tried to remove the battery for over 30 minutes and charge it for 2 hours, tried re-partition in Odin (it's my understanding that with a stock rom, it creates a clean installation), but Odin fails to start the process.
What else can I do?
I am sorry if this has previously asked, but I've been searching for over 2 hours and nothing similar came. Somebody mentioned to use a PIT file in addition, but the other person who got his phone soft bricked didn't solve the problem either. As downloading a ROM is time consuming and I've got many problems with upload sites in china (cannot access to most of them), I would thank any help in regards this issue.
Sounds like your kernel isn't talking properly to your ROM.
A fresh start is your best bet. Flash a stock rom and kernel from Odin and reroot it with CF-Root.
What files are you putting into Odin? There should be a total of 4.
I'd also avoid the use of a .pit file. I haven't even seen the mention of one in all my time on the Note forum. I really don't think Samsung uses them the way they used to. (I used to have to flash one all the time when testing roms on the original galaxy tab.)
I am using official ROM N7000ZSLA2_N7000ZSLA2_N7000XLA4_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA and also tried ROM N7000XXKKA_N7000XEUKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5, which I used successfully in the past to make root into my phone.
Does it really make a difference to flash 4 separate files instead of a full pack? Where can I find an official ROM with pda radio and kernel separated? Just untar the ROM?

Oh, they do come into the Note; I flashed the Beta ICS, and one of the things they mention is to use the PIT file for the 16GB version, instead of the 32GB that comes with the leaked ROM. Unfortunately I deleted that ROM, and donwloading it is painfully slow and also wouldn't necessarily solve my problem as I couldn't even make a phone call.
True - the .pit file can change the size of the partition data... But that's not your problem. If the .pit file was the problem - you'd boot, but have 0 storage space (or something else wonky pertaining to your disk size.)
Open the tar up and make sure it has all the files in it. Should be 5.
I've attached a screenshot of the 5 file names. Make sure they are all in the .tar you are flashing.
Even i had similar problem after flashing Stock ROM using Odin (PC). Only thing i did is just rebooted in recovery and Wipe/factory Reset and Wipe cache. everything went fine.

Well, I finally managed to get my phone back. I was getting a lot of corrupted ROMS. I couldn't download your ROM as well; I managed to install the Beta ICS 4.0.3 which comes with a PIT for repartition, as I think the problem was that my booting partition was screwed.
Problem now is: that rom screws the phone and the keyboard, but at least I have my phone back.
Thank you

I have just recently dowloaded and installed the rom without problem. What do you mean by corrupted rom?

I too bricked my phone but after reading this guide (ABD wouldn't recognise my device so I couldn't follow it) I understood the partitions had become messed up.
I read somewhere about the PIT files.
I ODINed the ABYSS Kernal and PIT (Q1_20110914_16GB-patched) for my 16gb n7000 ticked the repartition box. It booted into CWM recovery and I used the restore and bingo.
Fix The problem
I had the same problem, the device got into start loop. JUST DO A FULL WIPE..! and the device should start normally. I worked for me.... :good:

hello,
i bought a fresh n7000 with stock ics firmware on it. i wanted to go to paranoid android.
1. i rooted the stock ics
2. found out that i need gingerbread to flash custom firmware
3. installed sdk, driver on ubuntu
4. installed heimdall, as its the odin for linux
5. downloaded N7000XXKJ4 from samfirmware.com
6. extracted it to have the single images to flash with heimdall 1.3.1
7. booted in download mode, attached the phone to usb and hitted detect device in heimdall
8. device was found
9. started flashing, first without repartition
boot.img as BOOT
param.lfs as PARAM
factoryfs.img as FACTORYFS
cache.img as CACHE
zImage as KERNEL
Sbl.bin as SBL1
hidden.img as HIDDEN
modem.bin as MODEM
10. flashing went all thru, the phones screen showed the progress also
11. phone did a reboot, after all flashing was done
12. stuck at bootscreen
13. found in the web that its normal and i should do a factory reset in the recovery (its not cwm)
14. stuck at bootscreen
15. repeated step 9. with pit file and repartition
16. same bootscreen
i know the phone is not dead, just not booting, but i have absolutely no chance to find out what to flash exactly and how to do it.
hm could i now just flash the abyss kernel and cwm recovery.bin or so and install a custom rom?
if you are now on GB then flash a kernel, either in CWM or odin and do a full factory reset along with all caches and dalvik cache.
i wouldnt recommend flashing a custom ROM until the stock rom is booting, you dont want to be covering up any underlying errors.
Also, Why did you re-partition ? Did you re-partition using a 3 file firmware (PDA, CSC, Phone) or just a single firmware - PDA ??
hm i dont know on what i am, because it doesnt boot.
i thought i eventually had to repartition because i changed from 4.0 to 2.3.5 ... i used the n7000 16gb pit file.
Well what did ODIN say ? Did it complete or did it get stuck and fail ?
You can flash a kernel in ODIN which should allow you to enter CWM and do a wipe, However you might get issues if you flash a GB kernel over ICS Firmware and vice versa
heimdall ran complete through, said its all fine and the phone rebooted at the end of flashing as it should be. seems all perfect.
the issues i get can not be worse?! if i would now flash a gb kernel, even if there is ics under the hood, the phone would also just not boot?!
I dont know really, Ive never tried, nor do i intend to lol.
But i imagine GB is now on your phone considering it all passed without fail So i guess you should try to flash a kernel and then do a full wipe and see if it boots then
chances are there are some ICS files left on the system preventing it from booting.
and following the guides on xda im not allowed to flash the other kernel with heimdall/odin.
i should use the cf-kernel for my firmware and flash it with the bat-script, is this correct?
Just flash this in ODIN and you will be fine

boot into recovery, do a factory reset, then clear cache partition, then go to advanced and clear dalvik cache, then reboot
then report back
ok. now i have the yellow triangle. i wanted to avoid this.
BUT it looks very promising. clockword mod is starting. did the wipes. and when i reboot it boots directly in cwm. i think this is good atm.
i have to leave at work now. tomorrow morning i can flash a rom with cwm right? and if i flash an ics rom, then i have to flash a ics kernel, too?!
Dont worry about the triangle, Use this app to remove it https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/eu.chainfire.triangleaway-47fe5bbd55070e4eddce741c0ef13110.apk
Like i said above, Make sure the phone boots before flashing any other ROMs. If you want to upgrade to ICS you will need to flash ICS in ODIN, Unless you want to use a CM9 / AOSP based ROM like Paranoid Android, In this case you will stay on GB, Just full wipe and flash ROM in CWM
EDIT: I mis read your post, Your phone is not booting, But only booting into CWM, In this case, try a custom ROM, Nothing to extreme just a simple GB ROM and see if it boots properly then
thanks so much!
flashed checkrom notehd via cwm. boots clean and nicely up.
i flashed/rooted some phones before htc hero, hd2, zte blade. but none of them, even the hd2 with its windows conversion was as unclear as the n7000. i think because in former times the developers wherent as many as actual, and there were much less guides/tuts/howtos which made an user less unsecure.
nevertheless, your support is gorgeous: friendly, fast and ultracompetent.
edit: can i change the title in solved anyhow?
