So, recently i bought a samsung captivate, switched over from iphone and i am pretty familiar with jailbreaking iphones and able to do that. however when it comes to android phones and rooting im lost.
okay, the captivate i got from a dude off craigslist, and he said it was suped up and extra fast and rooted. i thought okay well that sounds like a great deal let me check it out. however, homie didnt tell me that he took off the original captivate software and now i have an at&t samsung captivate running on galaxy 19000 and not the original software. I am not able to find anywhere instructions on how to put the original software on the phone and get it back it the brand new factory default. I am not sure if i unroot it would that take the 19000 galaxy Os off and then the original would come back? or do i need to download the original? i cant even find that ive looked all over samsungs website.
Like i said i am pretty good with messing around with iphones and im sure if i just got a step by step instruction on how to fix my issue i could do it i just need some help from someone who knows how and where to find the tools i need to do it. I really appericiate any help you can offer. Thanks!

You can get back to stock, but the i9000 roms are much better then stock. It is likely if you like to play with your phone that you would end up flashing in no time.
What rom are you on
Settings, about phone, bottom
Find the galaxy s (not captivate drivers), then use odin 1 click downloader to revert to stock.
Step 1: install drivers
Step 2: got to download mode. Easiest way is to turn off phone, remove sim and battery, put battery back in, then hold vol up and down buttons while inserting usb. If you get a yellow android symbol that is shoveling, you're golden.
Step 3: use the odin 1 click to revert to stock. On the odin screen, you should see a com port light up and at the bottom "added". If your device is in downolad mode click start.
Step 4: set your phone down, don't touch anything, and watch the magic.
Step 5: (optional) donate to design gears, the person who will have really saved your butt.
u can try this single post if u wan to reflash to original rom..
it got everyting inside.

it's the best place to start. I wish i had started there.
hi i loaded froyo (i9000ugjl2) on galaxy tab, but now it doesent come on. the flashlight at the back stays on and flashes sometime. wot do i do?
We need WAY WAY more information than that to provide assistance. Lets start with:
Tab Version (Wi-fi, GSM, CDMA)
Carrier
What you did/how you got to this point. PRECISELY, and step by step.
ok i have the tab p1000 cdma. i loaded t-mobile via odin on saterday, but that was not my default rom. i googled froyo and found ( I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC ) file and it said froyo download.
after loading it with odin (pda) the tab switched off and the flash stayed on.
If I'm not mistaken, I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC is for Galaxy S, not Galaxy Tab. loading this ROM into Galaxy Tab can damage the device's board physically.
Not to mention the t-mobile ROM is GSM, and you have a CDMA device.
You bricked it, twice.
*edit* Pretty sure you wont get any 3 button combination to work, but in the off chance, try putting it into download mode... If it goes, you have a chance... If you can't get it into download mode, it's toast.
ok it looks like i can go into download mode cuz if i conect to odin and start it dosent but if i hold volume down and power it seems to work i dont think i have the right software to laod to the tab.

You need to reflash back to stock, I'm a GSM device owner and know very little about CDMA tabs, but if you do a search in the development forums for "CDMA Stock" or something similar you should find what you are looking for.
If you can access download mode, I don't believe it's beyond repair... Just do your research on this forum before flashing anything else, and always do it before flashing a device for the first time. Search is your friend.

First thing's first, don't keep on trying to do something until you are sure of it. It might drain your battery.

well i had created a thread yesterday. to bad i didnt find this post i was using the wrong spelling. but anyways iam having the same exact issue as you. thats why i had creadted the thread. once again my apologies to all the mods of this forums for doing that. but this is the same issue that i have. i dont know what do i need to be flash into my tab to reflash it again. i know how tho reflash it iam not describing how in here since i know the rules.. i just need to know what to flash to my tab in order to be detected as a phone as used to be before i checked thie damn clear ECS and it wiped everything out ever since. before this whole happened i used to plug it into the usb en qpst usted to detected as FFA6550-ZRF6500 wich is the same as my Epic 4G. but now it doesnt even show that after this happened. any help will be apreciated.. thanks guys.
Has anybody ever figured out how to get around qpst showing no phone on the tab?

... and two buttons have different function; back and search.
i am from canada and have an unlocked galaxy s gt -i9000 (sgh-i896). its originally on rogers ut i use fido on it. it was rooted and running fine on froyo. then i think i stupidly upgraded with some wrong files. two buttons don't work and the computer will only recognize it as a memory stick when i have the micro sd in. it goes in to download mode, but the computer doesn't see it, in both oden and kies. i have tried with usb debugging. nada. the reception is horrible. im new to androids and have searched many forms. i keep getting close to the answer but its not for my device.
pda i9000xwjvz
phone i9000xxjvt
csc i9000oxajvt.
i searched around and found that the "i9000xxjvt" is for the uk captivate. seeing as i live in canada and this is a rogers phone i see this as being a possible problem?
i have done a factory data reset. no good. is there any way to update or downgrade so that i can start messing around with my phone again?
i hope you can help
See the Sticky Thread in the General Forum -- "Captivate Connection Issues..."
If that helps, then u can go to the "Stock Rom One Clicks" that is Stickied in the Development Forum and choose a stock to go back to.

The i9000 and the i896 are different phones. You can't simply flash files for the other one and expect them to fully work, unless they are made for that purpose. The i897-i896 is Captivate, i9000 is the Galaxy S.
Make sure you have Odin open first, then plug in. I recommend trying a one click back to stock
Sent from my ICS Samsung Captivate
ive looked at many connection issue pages and no luck.
i've tried the 1 click a few times. im gonna try it again from another computer soon. hopefully that will help.
and im a little confused. on the back of my phone it says i896 and when i boot up it says gt-i9000? so how are they different?
**update
so im trying 1 click from a new computer and no good.
is there a way to reinstall an os from the memory stick?
U have an i896 phone that has a ported i9000 rom flashed on it.
That is all.
U may want to give Heimdall a try. It uses different drivers and so may work where Odin hasn't.

It actually sounds like he has an unported firmware. That's why the buttons don't work right. You also have different bootloaders. Download mode can be achieved by turning phone off (pulling the battery then replacing it is easiest way). Then hold volume down (not volume up and down) and plugging usb in. As for drivers, uninstall the drivers you have. Look in program files for a folder labeled Samsung and delete it. Restart your computer. Reinstall drivers. As said, Heimdall might be a better route to take since it uses a different driver.

You have a Rogers Captivate that has i9000 bootloaders on it. If you didn't flash them, then somebody else did before you bought it. I think you are trying to run unported i9000 ROMs. i9000 roms only work if somebody reorients the kernel and modifies a few parts of the ROM.
Anyway, download mode on i9000 bootloaders (from powered off state) is Vol down + USB. Then... well what do you want to put on it? Stock i896 Gingerbread?
yeah id like stock i896 gingerbread. i have no problem going in to download mode.
ill try heimdall and get back to you guys.
usoimon this
so i tried with hiemdall and tried to find my phone is zadig but no luck.
i can go in to download mode no problem. do i possibly have to get the i9000 driver for my computer. and if yes which one in particular?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351224
Read through that again. The same driver package should work for i896,i897, i9000.
Try a different cable, and make sure to use the proper usb port.
ive tried all my usb ports, new usb wire, different computers. ive followed may walk troughs. uninstalled and reinstalled a bunch of different driver packs.
phone goes in to download mode no problem every time. but both odin and heimdall don't recognize.
when the phone is powered up it goes in to usb mode and says connected but on the computer the usb doesn't see anything. no pop ups in the tray or anything.
id this a lost cause? am i missing something? im usually pretty good with this kind of stuff...
*update.
ive been reading all over the internet and have found that it may be a hardware issue. maybe happening randomly after i had installed the gingerbread.
is there a way that anyone would know of to update my firmware through wifi blue tooth or micro sd?
FIXXXXED!! woohoo
so i went to my brothers who sold me the phone and it worked immediately. i guess his computer remembered it. i dont know why nothing worked on my 3 computers with all the drivers and stuff that i tried. thank you for all the help.
Recently purchased a Galaxy S3 Mini from Verizon, was pretty excited about the aspect of rooting and installing custom roms.
Only problem is that I can't seem to find a single thread/video/(anything) that is able to root the version of the phone that I have.
Every thread I search for is either for the normal S3, or only unlocks the S3 mini if it's running 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, but my phone is running 4.2.2.
I read somewhere that Verizon has blocks in place set to stop rooting from happening, but 1.) I'm sure someone has found a way around this and 2.) I'm not sure whether it's true or not.
If anyone wants to know:
Model Number: SM-G730V
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Build Version: JDQ39.G730VVRUAMI9
Android Version: 4.2.2
Not sure what other information might be needed, though I'm more than happy to answer any and all questions that might get me (and possibly others, if they're having the same issue) some help.
My fiancée is in the same boat

It's kind of saddening that so many people have viewed this thread, yet there hasn't been a single helpful post.
I'm starting to believe that there isn't any hope for the Galaxy S III Mini.

I haven't even seen anything about that method. I'll look into it now.
That's exactly what I was looking for though. Even if the method doesn't work, it's nice to have someone give input on possible methods so that I can keep on trying.
I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Yes, please do :good:
I'm pretty sure it will work. It's the same phone, just from another carrier.
So I looked into the method tys0n posted, and it led me to a Chinese root method called VRoot.
http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
It's a one-click method, and installed it's own SU on the phone, but I'm installing root-only apps at the moment to check whether it's actually rooted or not.
This thread has pictures explaining what the all-Chinese app is doing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459910&highlight=one+click
root worked for me!!!! Now does anyone know of any ROMS that are compatible?
The Chinese 1 click root worked for me as well. After the reboot, I installed SuperSU and root explorer. SuperSu prompted me to allow it to uninstall the chinese su so I allowed it. I updated the binary without issue and have titanium backup running and uninstalled some verizon apps and froze some other things. Freed up some RAM and it already seems to be a bit snappier. Not that it was really that bad to begin with.
Wouldn't we need to have a custom recovery to be able to flash any ROM's? I never bothered to try any with my Note II since it ran so smoothly but on my dx2 prior to that, we needed the custom recovery.
I am also in the same predicament with a Verizon S3 Mini (SM-G730V). I was hoping to install maclaws 4.4 on it but apparently that is only for the GSM model, I8190. I would be very interested to hear if anyone is able to get this running on the G730V.

For SM-G730V, to get to diag mode is ##DMMODE# or *#0808#
If you had flash Samsung before, then you will not get any problem from this one.
I already use this phone and works on my country.
