This should be quick.
So I was using the Captivate AIO, but I flashed some drivers from the "Flashing ROMs on the Captivate" thread instead of the AIO. This is on Windows XP 32-bit.
Before I flashed the stock ROM the phone was already having a voice telling me things that I couldn't understand when I tried starting normally. I think data partition was corrupt or something.
I thought something was wrong because I had to use Vol - to get into download mode, so I flashed 3 button fix version. First time failed for some reason, so I unplug and restart again. Second time fails at SetupConnection, so I try the third time, which seems to work. Download goes through, Success! is shown in the box where there was the indicator of what was being flashed. The phone seems to shut down or restart once finished.
Now, for some reason the phone now refuses to start up or anything. Putting in the battery and trying the power button gives me nothing. Holding Vol+ and Vol- with USB plugged in and then putting in battery is nothing. No bootloop, no indication of anything, just black screen.
Is this permabricked?
Yes, you are hard bricked. You had the I9000 gingerbread bootloaders, hence the different button combos, you flash the 3 button fix which is just a froyo sbl.bin (secondary bootloader) but you still have a gingerbread boot.bin(primitive bootloader) so the pbl can't transition into the sbl because they are incompatible.
You can get jtag from mobiletechvideos.com for $50
Or find a user named adam outler I believe he offers jtagging for $30 (here is his user profile just shoot him a pm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3682533 )
Or you could try your hands st a warranty replacement....but that would require a little loose morals and a story (lie) about what happened.
I'll take the JTAG as a 50 dollar lesson learned.
Do you know where these guys are located (physically)? I see there's a paypal but I don't see any way to really send it out to them.
You could always use adam outlers help....!
He has unbricked many captivates and is really good,my suggestion would be just pm him once before you decide doing anything....!

Josh from mobile tech lives in texas. Austin I believe.
Adam outler lives in louisiana.
Already ordered the JTAG service from their website, the Captivate is definitely a far cry from what's a relatively easy flashing process for the Desire HD.
Just to be sure, the process goes by Odin3 1 click flashback to stock, then root, then custom ROM, then..?

no.
flashing back to stock is not required to flash a rom
rooting is not required to flash a rom
if you are on stock 2.2 with 3e recovery, then just odin a custom kernel that has CWM built in, flash your rom
if you are on 2.1 with 2e recovery, just drop the update.zip that rom manager makes onto your sdcard, reboot to recovery, reinstall packages twice, then you will be in CWM. flash your rom

Gah, the guides on the dev section all seem to really stress the need to go back to stock before flashing.
Is it possible/okay to just do a full wipe in CWR, then flash the ROM in recovery if it allows for it, or is this more nuanced than I think it is?
Most roms actually have a wipe script in then so all you really need is to just flash it...but if you want to make extra sure its a clean flash then yes full wipe in recovery then flash.
Unless it is a gingerbread rom and you have eclair/froyo bootloaders. Then you would need to flash those with odin/heimdall and then the rom in recovery. But if you already have ginger boots then the above still applies.

Flashing back to stock is optional,you should be able to flash any rom via the cwm,follow these steps:
In the cwm menu
1.wipe data
2.wipe cache
3.go to advanced cwm features and wipe dalvik cache
4.then install zip from sd card
5.choose zip from sd card
6.install it and reboot....!
will work for all android versions,but make sure you dont mess up the bootloaders

Lol I do that all the time.
us in team phoenix call that ninja-ing.
Well, at least now I know what to do next time when it comes back.
Better yet what NOT to do.
Do not flash the 3 button fix if you have gingerbread bootloaders.
Anymore "DON'T DO THIS EVER" words of wisdom?

[Q] need help with flashing
I know all the info on here is very usefull but too many people assume us noobs know all the lingo,I managed to root have s.u. and rom manager,ive flashed cwm,backed up everything 3 times with tit bu,dbox and desktop and ext hrd dve,I have cog,andromeda,perception all downloaded and put on sd card as .zip , when i choose dl rom from sd card and check the 3 pre inst options my phone then goes into the bootmode with options to (re-boot now,wipe all user data,re install packages , wipe cache. Iam scared to do the wipe system and user data but have tried the re boot now,re inst packages and wipe cache all which just re boot as though im shutting the phone off and back on again. i need to know if i have to choose the wipe system and user data and when i do what do i do from there I NEED DETAILS step by step,also i dont understand all this odin stuff
Are you able to get into CWM recovery. It's the green one. Choose install .zip from sd card. If it's blue, you're still at the Android recovery. Choose install update.zip, do it until CWM recovery green boots up. Then choose install .zip from sd card. Locate your rom on the sd card and install.

remember when i told you you should read the info in the forums?

you are 'clayed' soft-brick if you will.....use ODIN to get back to stock....and stop messing with your phone until you understand wtf you are doing....
[Q] just flashed to att 2.1
I screwed up my phone and used odin to get it to master clear i was rogers 2.2 stock now my phone is att 2.1 eclair,i had all my stuff backed up with tit bu,what do i need to do now to get my phone back because right now its like a brand new att which i dont want
i know i know,im tryna learn..trial and error i guess, I got it to work by using odin but now its a 2.1 like a brand new phone how do i get all my stuff from titanium or is it easier to flash a new rom from where i am now

follow the rooting guides, then install rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery, then flash a custom rom, like andromeda.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005841
then do a tibu restore
thanks,my phone is still acting weird,everytime i shut it off i have to use odin to get it back on otherwise it just flashes the att screen,can i use the superone click to root 2.1 just like i did with my 2.2

My thought would be to shuck off your mortal Froyo coils and move on to one of the great Gingerbread roms such as Continuum 5.5, GR-12, Serendipity vII, or Mosaic III (JVH is good but JVO is better).
CAREFULLY read ALL instructions!! The devs here are remarkably knowledgable but sometimes forget the word everything out fully for the noob.
ODIN flashes happen when your phone is in Download Mode (yellow triangle). CWM flashes happen in Recovery mode (must flash a file that has been transferred to the phone previously).
FROYO: Download Mode = Hold Both Volume Buttons and plug in your data cable. (Make sure ODIN is running on your computer first) - - Recovery Mode = Hold both volume buttons AND power button (wait until kernel image flashes a second time and then let go of all buttons) - - GINGERBREAD: Download Mode = Hold only BOTTOM volume button and plug in your data cable. - - Recovery Mode = Hold TOP volume button AND power button until kernel image flashes a second time and let go of all buttons.
Flash one of these packages if you are on a Rogers Captivate...

Cant wait...
Doesn't anybody know how to convert this image file into an update.zip that we could flash via ClockWorkMod? Doesn't any dev want to be the unforgattable hero posting the first instructions for TouchWiz on our beloved Galaxy Tab 10.1?
you can restore the img file from backup/restore > advanced option of clockwork recovery! but first copy the img into clockworkmod >backup folder in sd card.
No, it says "MD5 mismatch"...
OK, had a spare I/O tab lying around that I use for development and writing apps, so thought I'd try it....This is with Odin3 v1.3...obviously I have a tab that is not full of personal stuff so I just blasted it....If you want to do it on your one and only then for Pete's sake make sure you back up all data and apps before if you feel it's neccessary
Unzipped the file from the download link.
Select the downloaded .tar in PDA in Odin, connect tab and click start...don't hold your breath, you'll probably be dead before it's finished
When the Odin upload has finished the tab boots straight into recovery mode...I had a few warnings regarding efs and sd extension etc. but as this is a wifi only tab and does not have a removable sd card think that is probably normal.
In recovery the installation program automatically formatted the cache...
As I was strting from scratch I did a factory reset just for good measure.
After many years of mac, pc, prologue and now trying app development work I am a firm believer in "If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing properly"....loading upgrade upon upgrade on existing systems eventualy brings said system to it's knees, so better to start afresh.
Hit reboot from recovery and the usual fresh install scenario started with the pulsating Samsung logo as the dalvik was I suppose re-written
Then went to normal initial setup screen which for some reason started in Italian - I know I eat a lot of pasta and pizza and drink chianti from time to time but that's just ridiculous!!
Initial reaction to visual interface was "Wow!" Now I am a bit of a purist and Vanilla lover but I am not blinkered (never joined any of the blind rhetoric "mac is best", "pc is best" blah blah clubs being a scientist by origin) and I have to say in my opinion the visual interface is far better than vanilla honeycomb
Will run some standard tests and put up screenshots in an hour or so...gotta eat some pasta and drink a couple of bottles of chianti first...
stinky73,
Same result on a Retail Tab 10.1 with a LOCKED bootloader, seeing that it works for me, it should be safe for everyone who wants to try without worrying about a brick.
NOTE: You have to do a factory reset, I got a bootloop but the problem was fixed by the reset

Hold down power + Vol Up until you see the 2 options for 'Recover' and 'Download'.
Use 'Vol Up' to select an option
Use 'Vol Down' to enable it
This no longer is available after I flashed the Touchwiz Tar file via ODIN though so if anyone has found a button combo for recovery for it, please let me know.
Thanks.

It still works, but the problem is that you have like half a second to release the buttons before the tab reboots again. I am able to get successfully into recovery if i act quick.
In other news! The root from recovery was successful, This version is rootable by simply flashing the root zip file from the stock recovery.
I have retail version with unlocked bootloader from BB and installed customized recovery (clockworkmod) then connected to my pc with odin3 running. You have to have the custom recovery and i had it when i rooted and unrooted my device.
PS
This version is i think for the 3g model because it has extra settings that is unusable like tethering. The overall experience is very nice and has some very nice functionalities. The UI is very intuitive and has some very poweful apps preinstalled. I am looking forward to the official touchwiz ui and one of the added functionalities i love is the ablity to change the display modes or screen color calibration rendering more natural colors for my photography portfolio. The picture editor is very robust and hopefully the stylus in the works will work like the htc flyer stylus for use their own memo pad.

I just tried pershoots kernal, and please note that it does not work, and flashing the tool pack does not fix it. The only way i could find to fix it was to install the tar file from odin again.
I got my phone rooted and then i proceeded to install rom manger to install CWM recovery. After that i rebooted the phone and ended up taking me to the original 2e recovery. Now I am basically stuck here, even after taking the battery out. I searched for a day and cant seem to find a solution.
Can anyone help please?
If you do a battery pull, there's really no way it will boot back into recovery—I'm sure it always boots into the OS by default.
Uhm, yeah.. I really don't know what to tell you.
Maybe leave the battery out for a bit?
haha i've tried that. its been a day. when i pull the battery it boots right back to 2e recovery. and it basically shows "reboot system now" "apply sd card.update.zip" "wipe data" blah blah blah it will let me highlight them but not select them because i dont have a okay key.
So i've been searching and i'm basically trying to flash back to stock firmware via odin. Will reply with an update and see what happens.
good news i got it to work. =D can close this thread.
Glad to hear it!
For future reference, selecting the option should be the home button or the power button (I can never remember all these things ).
ok sorry to reply again but basically i'm stuck again..when i go into recovery mode.. i cannot select an option.. home or power button doesnt seem to work. and basically to get out of recovery i would have to pull the battery.
To fix this .. would i need to do the 3 button fix? if so i've been looking for one and cant seem to find the right one because the ones i tried seem to don't work
do you think you can help a solution? thanks

No need to apologize, we're here to help.
The volume buttons should control scrolling up or down, and home/power (can't remember, it seems to be different with various recoveries) should be to select the option.
So you don't have access to the 3-button recovery/download mode? I would suggest getting that working, and then flashing a better firmware with Odin. But do not start flashing stuff until you have download mode working, otherwise you risk bricking your phone. If download mode works, you can fix most issues you'll come across by simply flashing a stable firmware (or re-flashing the same firmware, if you caused it to malfunction, bootloop, etc).
Are you running stock firmware right now?
If you can't do anything flash a rom via odin and install cf-root kernel. This is a stock kernel with Superuser and CWM3 in this kernel. Make sure you can enter download mode with 3-button combo. Voldown+home+power.
If you don't have 3-button combo. It may disabled in your kernel. You can flash a kernel via odin what enables 3button combo but at your own risk. It may brick your phone. You can easily get download mode without 3 button combo with an Micro USB jig. This is a little stuff with a 301KOhms ressistor what shorts pin 4 and 5. You can make at home very easy or buy one from ebay.
thanks for the replies!! and sorry for my late reply.
so heres my deal. i can get into download mode and i flashed cf-root kernel via odin. so like you said its a stock kernel with superuser and root. and i dont think it comes with cwm because when i go to recovery its 2e recovery and from there i cannot even use the ok key or it doesn't let me so i have to pull my battery.
So i proceed to download rom manager and flash cwm recovery from there, then when i try to go to recovery again, i'm stuck there. i cannot even boot up to my rom and whatever i do i'll end up in 2e recovery until i pull my battery.
it's an on going cycle of doing this over and over because i cannot use to ok key in recovery.
this sucks because i've rooted other phones like nexus one, g2x and g2 and the samsung galaxy seems the hardest ...

It shouldn't be hard, it should be be simple.
Since you flashed the kernel that has CWM, are you sure you don't hace CWM? You should. Something is obviously wrong here. Youtube some videos to confirm which recovery you have.
Put your device in download mode and use this:

Whats up cheers!
After try flash a droid kernel, my milestone stucks on the bootload on this err:A5,69,4E,00,23 (version 90.78). But, i can access the normal bootload with no error, pressing UP when the phone starts.
The RSDLite recognise my device, but without any informations (before it, when I had flashed the vunerable recovery, a lot of infos, like the OMAP platform appears on the screen).
I can access the recovery screen, but without the menu, just the /!\ image (my device don't work with VolUp+Cam [the buttons work perfectly on the android], to install my CM7 custom rom i had to instal some scripts on the stock rom, but the device don't starts anymore, so i can't install any script).
So, I think, if I can open the recovery menu and re-install the cm7 my brick will be back, but HOW? Exists a mod to work this way?
Sorry for my bad english, i'm brazilian.

After try flash a droid kernel, my milestone stucks on the bootload on this err:A5,69,4E,00,23 (version 90.78). But, i can access the normal bootload with no error, pressing UP when the phone starts.
The RSDLite recognise my device, but without any informations (before it, when I had flashed the vunerable recovery, a lot of infos, like the OMAP platform appears on the screen).
I can access the recovery screen, but without the menu, just the /!\ image (my device don't work with VolUp+Cam [the buttons work perfectly on the android], to install my CM7 custom rom i had to instal some scripts on the stock rom, but the device don't starts anymore, so i can't install any script).
So, I think, if I can open the recovery menu and re-install the cm7 my brick will be back, but HOW? Exists a mod to work this way?
Sorry for my bad english, i'm brazilian.

As long as RSDlite sees the device, you should be able to SBF back to stock. Once you are back to stock you can go through the root process again, install Open Recovery, and then you will be able to restore your nandroid backup.
Another option is, and I don't know anything about the Open Recovery for Milestones, but some custom recoveries have a way of cold booting straight into the recovery. If you can find out how to do that then you are golden, if not then you will have to SBF.

Try these two things, if they don't work then I think you are stuck with SBFing.
From phone off state - Hold Power+X. When you get to the triangle with !, try either VolUp+VolDown or VolUp+Camera. If you don't get into the recovery that way, try:
From phone off state - Hold Power+Camera. If that gets you to a triangle with ! then try the same key combinations from above.
If neither of those work for you, then SBF your phone and start over. If you get bootloops after SBFing, boot into the stock recovery with Power+X and wipe data/factory reset.

I had downloaded the Brazi Retail one on this link: sbf.droid-developers(dot)org/umts_sholes/list.php (I can't link before 10 posts, change the (dot))
But, before the flash, i saw a problem: The A853 SBF is only for Canada, the rest, i think, may be for the Droid, and not for the Milestone.
Please, help me one more time! How version I need?

All of those should be for the Milestone. Any of the Brazilian ones should work for you, they are most likely just different versions of the OS. If you press back in the upper left hand corner of that page it shows that the Droid (A854,A855) has it's own download area. All the Brazilian ones seem to be the SHLA SBF's and I believe that is what you are looking for.

haha, not sure I've been on here long enough to have friends to call upon. I'll go through that list again tomorrow and see if I can figure out what went wrong.
Are you running RSDLite as Administrator? If that is not the issue, try to shorten the path and filename (you have a space in your path? (M MS)). You could also try to use earlier versions of RSD, I used 4.9 with no problems (mostly).

Easiest way would be to flash speedmod kernel with Odin 1.87 (or 1.85). It comes with a custom recovery.

Messed up 3 button recovery/download and CWM
Hi I received a Samsung Captivate as a backup option oh 4 months back or so. I use an sgh-i717 and have absolutely zero experience with the captivate. The other day though my Note starting having charging issues so I decided I better set up the Captivate in case the need actually comes for it. Well it already had CWM Recovery and a custom rom, I believe Continuum. Well I wanted to change the ROM but the information I was reading wasn't working and in my frustration I must've messed something up, but I do have step by step log that I wrote during whole process. I've already been reading a bit here but hoping someone can help speed me to info I need since I'm so utterly clueless to this phone.
Ok my current state is this. When booting the phone it displays AT&T screen then a screen that has the word Talon on it and there it remains. The USB apparently stopped working right before it was given to me although unsure to cause. Now the Download/Recovery 3 button combo did work but somehow I broke that and so now I cant really do anything without some help.
Ok here is log of what I did.
1. Boot into CWM
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. Cache wipe
4. Format SD Card
5. Format Cache
6. Format Data
7. Format System
8. Wipe Dalvik Cache
9. Power Off

Well basically you erased everything on your phone without flashing another ROM, hence why it won't fully boot up.
If your usb port isn't working, you'll have to use an external sd and put a ROM + kernel on it (that are 2.2). I suggest Firefly and Speedmod. From there, you'll have to boot in recovery and flash both (ROM first).
Without a working usb, you can't use Odin to flash the stock image on your phone so hope that you can get in recovery!
