How so u flash back to 2.2 from 2.3
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The easiest way is to use Odin One Click to flash back to 2.1 then use Kies mini to update to 2.2
Use TiBu to back up files 1st.

You might want to read this.
That is the definitive guide to bricking. You will probably find all the answers you need to get yourself out of that soft brick and to get back to a place where you can get to 2.2.
In theory, according to the guide, as long as you still have the 2.3 bootloaders in place, you should be able to flash a 2.2 rom

Can someone verify this? I'm possibly thinking of flashing back to FF, and if I don't have to revert to the Froyo bootloaders it'll make my decision easier.

Yes, GB bootloaders work just fine on Froyo based rom. Just make sure you flash a froyo kernel first, get in recovery (don't boot the phone normally) and flash the 2.2 based rom you want (beside cognition as it flashes the sbl.bin)
Sent from my Mosaic powered I896 using Tapatalk
so if i Flash Serendipity will it still work after because i hard bricked my phone flashing GB -> Froyo roms and i ended up having to get an Rma phone
As long as the froyo rom does not flash a secondary boot loader, you should be fine.

Correct ... To check the rom for a secondary bootloader, open up the zip look in the updates folder if you see "sbl.bin" that would be the secondary bootloader. Don't flash that rom.
Well since infant use .bin files can I just delete that file form the Rom? Or will it get corrupted

Yes ... You might also have to go into the script "Meta-inf" and delete the lines about sbl.bin, not sure if it is in the script to flash it individually or just the update folder...but the only rom I know has it is cognition. But I'd still check every rom I was going to flash, better safe than sorry.
Sounds Like a lot of work but ill try

If you don't see it then it probably isn't there, I think only cognition has it, and dg(the dev of cog) might have taken it out because alot of people bricked because of it.

I would start at step 5.
Sent from my Captivate
I have been flashing ROM's for months but it has been forever since i used ODIN to go back to stock. I am wanting to try Cyanogenmod 7 but I want to work out how to go back. I have ODIN3 V1.0 and I know I am to choose repartition option. Since I havent done this in forever, I am not sure what to choose for PDA, Phone, CSC, PIT. Maybe I am using the wrong version. I am assuming I cant use the Odin one click downloader to go back to stock.
I knew all this at one point but it has literally been 4-5 months since I did it so if someone would clarify these points it would help. I REALLY hate to post this question but I simply do not remember.
Thanks.
Odin one click to stock should work if you are build 1009 and lower.
Only if you are trying to get rid of cm7
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App
I am build 1007. I have looked into this more and it states that I need to check repartition and you cant do that through the ODIN one click downloader that I can find.
I doubt I would got back to other ROM's but I want to have the option and frankly I should know how to do this anyway. Must be getting old or something, they say the memory is the first thing to go....or something like that....cant remember.

Just for the record, Build 1008, at least in my case, took being one-clicked very poorly. I've used v3 ever since and had no trouble... at least with flashing back to stock. I do use the 1-click to master-clear, however.
The captivate is my back up phone and id like to jazz it up. Can anyone help me flash this rom? Thanks.

Well for Cog 5 you will need to flash GB bootloaders. BUT the 3 steps on the OP will work. There some risk when flashing bootloaders, but read up on how to use ODIN and they key combinations, nothing to it =)

If its stock, then its just getting CWM on that phone and flashing it. To get CWM theres a few ways to do that, simplest would be get a 1 click root from dev (AIO toolkit is very useful) and install Rom Manager from the market install CWM. Move the Cog zip file to your phones Internal SD reboot in recovery (Rom manager has the feature to do that) and flash from SD, look for the cog file.
I just ODINed back to I897UCJF6 2.1update1 eclair on my captivate and I want to flash some custome roms again. I have flashed multiple roms for example (Firefly,Cognition) but now I cant seem to find the Rom Manger Free app in the market?
I have tried the following:
Market Enablers
Appbrain Market
Sideloading apk (this works but cant connect to clockwork server error)
The only thing i am able to download is the premium rom manager which is just a license.
Any help?
Im running out of ideas here thanks!
Don't waste your time with Rom Manager. Flash a kernel with cwm or load the update.zip with cwm and go from there. Not sure where the update.zip is anywhere but should be somewhere.
Rom manager is completely unnecessary for the captivate
this is the file you need
How do you get Clockworkmod recovery installed with out Rom Manager? I can't see it i the market either.
Wow just wow..... Sticky guide I usually say use the search button, but geezuz christ it would be a good idea to read the stickies on dev, Q&A and General.....

Thanks for the guide. Using Rom Manager is the easy way to get CWM installed, but if you totally mess up your cappy like I did, that guide helped me out a lot.
Flashing ODIN 1 click stock, and then following the guide. I had to use Heimdal to get it on but now that I have all the necessary files i can break and rebuild a cappy in 10 minutes. (got a jig also, miracle device, just Ebay'ed Captivate Jig)
Hey guys. I'm sorry to ask. I'm traveling and don't have allot of time. I'm an experienced HTC user my buddy has a rooted cappy but no cwm. I know very little about Samsung. Can I just flash that update zip? The phones on 2.1 and I want to put gingerbread on it. Thanks in advance.

You can use that update zip, but you need new bootloaders for GB. Flash one of the odin/heimdall packages found here. After that just flash a kernel with cwm baked in with odin/heimdall and flash w/e rom you want. Reminder flashing bootloaders can hard brick the phone if connection is lost at the wrong moment or you mismatch bootloaders. Just flash a package that includes them and you should be good. Make sure your cable is good and so forth.. Good luck

You shouldn't need ADB. It should run on 86 and 64 bit OS. Odin is windows only, heimdall is multi platform.

Flash a modem. Jk4 is kind of a standard one for I9000 roms. Look in the modem thread. Also, cm/ics roms use a different install script as regular (stock base) roms. Be sure to get the right one,k or it still won't work.

Ive flashed a modem it doesnt help, When I go into phone info mostly everything is either N/A Or unknown. I flashed back to stock. I have never ran into this before. I dont know whats causing my phone to do this. I started 2 days ago when my phone randomly started rebooting. So I flashed back to stock(With bl) and now whenever flash a rom everything is unknown.
Whats the standard SGH-i897 modem?
Also this started happening after I started using Devil kernel inside my own roms.
I've had this exact issue before, right after I flashed GB bootloaders I flashed them again and it worked.
On a side note, are you restoring a nandroid?

Are you flashing the right type of modem? Aosp (cm, MIUI,ics) uses a different install script in the zip. It installs to a different place. Samsung based roms can actually use Odin to flash them, if you make a tar.md5 file for it. If you use the wrong type of install script, it won't work.
