Hi, I got a new captivate today, which had 2.2 pre-installed and tried rooting it. Tried a few update.zips to root it, but it wouldn't root it, due to the e-signature error. Using the AIO Captivate toolbox, I tried flashing the 2.1 JF6 stock, so that I could root and install Froyo ROM's. I'm pretty sure the 2.1 JF6 stock flash went fine, but my phone refuses to boot in. It just shows the AT&T screen and restarts and continues this loop.
Can anyone please suggest what I could do to fix this ? I'm trying to get this into download mode and I have the jig. But, after getting it into download mode, what should I do next? Is there a way I can install the stock 2.2 that came pre-installed with the phone ?

Thanks will try that. But just wanted to be clear that I got a latest captivate which came pre-installed with 2.2. Is it still fine to flash 2.1 ? I guess I bricked the device trying to flash 2.1 JH6 on it
I believe you should be fine

Thanks. I have the jig, but strangely I'm not able to get into download mode too. I tried removing the sim and the battery and reinserting back, with the usb cable plugged it, but it refuses to get into download mode. Any suggestions ?
Try the jig

Sounds like a build 1010 captivate..
...The jig is the only way that you can get back to DL mode if it is. look at the sticker under the battery and see if it is a build 1010, if it is you won't be able to go back to JF6, you'll have to use the full Odin and go back to JH2 first then root with update.zip then CWM flash the JH7 .zip file that you can find in the dev forum posted by Designgears I believe or you can just use kies mini to go back to stock 2.2 after you flash JH2.
Yea I'm trying the jig, but strangely it doesn't work

when you flashed the JF6 2.1 did you use the Odin 1-Click or the Regular Odin?

The one click killed your button combo, happens to some. Your going to need a working jig. You can make one yourself using a $.99 resistor pack from radio shack

OK will try that tomorrow maybe
But, just for the sake of knowledge, where can I find an update.zip that can root stock 2.2 on newer captivates ? I tried all almost 3-4 of them from this forum, but strangely none of them worked. It was my inability to root stock 2.2, that made me try getting to 2.1 JF6 using one-click.
Consensus is super one click
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Super one click to root stock froyo. That's it. Unless you wanna odin speedmod boot into recovery and apply root that way. By then you would need to flash another modem.

My USB port has died and now that I have a charged battery (external charger) it hit me that I need a USB connection to Odin back.
Is there any way to get to this? I've been phoneless all weekend...someone help me out.

good luck,
Ay. Lets see if I can baby-step this...I'm not sure I understood correctly. I currectly have FireFly 2.7 installed.
- Disable lagfix (I think I know how to do this, in recovery mode right?) since I have Clockwork
- And run the update.zip (which I always leave in my internal drive)
And that's it?!
That seems about right. I've done this myself so I know it works.
It seems my lagfix (I'm running Speedmod 2.6.32.9 kernel) had been disabled all along (my configurations all read RFS). I did run the update.zip but I'm still on FireFly?
I fear I'm too noob for this.

I need to send my captivate back to AT&T for service and need to revert back to stock. I have the o-din 1 click handy however I did install the AT&T GB Bootloader. I am not sure if I can just use odin 1click to go back to Eclair.
Edit: NVM, figured it out after searching another 10 pages that I can go back using 1 click.
Yes. U can use the 1click Odin to go back to stock Eclair.

No need since I don't have UAC turned on. I never had to run as administrator on my W7 x64 Pro.
Just to clarify, Odin 1-Click will revert everything back to stock, even bootloaders? Even if I have different bootloaders installed? Are there any precautions to look at before using it?

yes odin 1-click to stock will make it like u never flashed a ROM, just dont use the 3button fix first. that contains only the secondary bootloader and will brick when used with a GB primary.

my first recommendation is Heimdall, second would be ODIN
if you have to ask about downloading bootloaders to the phone from the PC, then you shouldnt be doing this. this would indicate you have a lot more reading to do to understand what you are actually doing.

Really? Bootloops going from KB2 to JF6?
My current Cappy refurb came with KB2 and I started with flashing it to JF6.
I understand your frustration. Heimdall is a great program but its usage breaks the drivers used in ODIN flashes in favor of the Heimdall configured drivers.
I once used the Heimdall KB2 package to flash to stock 2.2 just to see if it would work. After the install worked (brilliantly, I might add) I had to uninstall the Heimdall driver and reinstall the former Samsung driver for my Captivate to recognized properly for further ODIN usage.
My warranty is pretty much done now so I won't be worrying about a KB2 flash anymore. Is this why you want to flash KB2 - - warranty return?
Yeah warranty return. The us port is hit or miss but i know odin works because i flashed stock kh3 but i can never seem to get heimdall to recognise my phone

You are installing the heimdall driver right?
Yeah im uninstalling Samsung drivers and installing the heimdall one

Hello! I had the Andromeda 3 ROM on my Captivate and I tried to flash back to stock 2.1... and a boot loop is what I get. When I boot up the phone, the ATT logo comes up for 5-10 seconds and then reboots, and when charging the battery charge indicator shows for 3-5 seconds and reboots. I've tried all the 3 button combos (that don't work) and my JIG is arriving today. So, can someone please help?
Once u use the jig to get into download mode, u can use one of the Odin or Heimdall One Clicks to get back to a Stock base...KK4 is the latest leaked/official for i897...see the Master One Click stickied thread in the Development forum.

Yeah, I was looking at that. Now I just have to wait for my JIG to come! My Captivate's been bricked for a couple months and I already upgraded to an Atrix 2 but I don't want my Captivate to be a paperweight anymore.
Thanks, it works now!
