Hi,
Short story:
I'm bringing in my device (a Samsung Captivate i896) to get replaced at a Rogers store. However, I had installed a kernel (I think, I'm still new to this and I'm not sure which one it was) that flashes (i9000 Samsung Galaxy S) on the startup splash screen. How do I remove this from my startup screen so my device isn't voided?
Long story:
My phone dialler has, literally, just stopped working on me. When I dial out I hear no connecting tone, the other person's voice nor can they hear mine. I also can't receive calls. The only way my phone works is if I put it on speaker function (then I can hear everything) but the second I uncheck the speaker function, BAM the device dies on me. I'm trying to get it replaced.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!
Go back to a stock rom.

HAHAHAHA!!! DUDE i did this last night!!!! flashed a cw comatible kernel and my phone no longer recoginzed a sim was installed anymore! i lied my ass off and got it replaced because i forgot to backup first and NEEDED my phone that night. couldnt play forever...
So... any idea where we screwed up? besides not backing up? is the usa att kernels not compatible with canadian sims?
Nope, not compatible at all. Once it says AT&T on the startup screen you're totally screwed since the phone will not recognize your SIM anymore (it thinks you're in the States).
How did you manage to get it replaced? What did you tell them? I'm pretty stuck...
I told them that my phone was eracing my music files on the internal sim card. then it locked up well I was transferring files and wasn't able to make calls anymore...
with my new phone I flashed the phoenix 4.1 rom which has a new kernel, and everything is great. Pm me for advice and back up files

What did you guys do? I have been flashing ROMS like crazy and my Rogers sim is recognized.
I have changed kernels, roms and modems with no issue.
well im good now but with my first captivate i flashed a "cwcompatible" kernel with ODIN 3 into the *Phone* box. after that, couldnt make calls, and couldnt get into APN settings because it was telling me there was no SIM installed. i was too new and didnt backup properly.
Now i dont use ODIN and dont have problems. still not sure what i did wrong.
been extra careful ever since tho.

What you did wrong was use a CWcompatible kernal in ODIN.
The flash files go into the PDA section.
ah just figured out what i did.. and you helped. the kernel i had was for odin, from what i remember but it was going to flash a kernel that had cw in it. i was having trouble doing update.zip method because of e3 recovery.
I just opened oden for the first time since that day, and realized i confused PDA with PIT which i knew took a differnt type of file, and went with the next box that took tar... PHONE... my dumb mistake.

Glad I could help
The problem when I had AT&T running on my phone (instead of Rogers) is that there's no sideloading, hence, I was unable to enter download mode at all to put the Rogers ROM back on it. Therefore = screwed.
past tense? did you fix it? replace it? and you can always clockwork recovery flash anything.

Same been flashing a few roms, even base on ATT..
Using a Fido sim card..
And it works fine
I have a Captivate (model 1012) and was running Andromeda 3.
I guess the short version of this is as follows.
Wanted to flash back to stock Froyo from Andromeda.
First tried using Heimdall but failed 1/2 way through resulting in the dreaded Phone__!__PC icons.
Was unable to 3 button to download because my phone does not support it, so I used the 100K +1K ohm resistor "fix" which got me back into download mode.
Then used Odin3 One-click to reflash and applied the update.zip that it requested.
I am at the point where I can use Kies-mini to update to 2.2 which I have not done yet.
Everything is working just great except that when I make or receive a phone call, the person calling cannot hear me and I cannot here them.
It rings on an incoming call, I answer but I cant hear them and they cannot hear me.
One thing I do notice, is when I place a call and hit the speaker button, it turns green like the speaker is on, but I cannot hear it dialing like I used to.
After updating via Kies, the firmware version is 2.2 and baseband is I897uckb1.
Should I try to reflash or try a different modem?
Any suggestions?
Try re-downloading Odin 1click, verify the file size, then run it again. At that point, try the phone out to see if it has sound during calls.
I'm not sure why you're using Kies to go to 2.2....and your post is a little confusing. At one point you said you did not update to 2.2, then later you said it was on 2.2.
My bet is you just got a bad flash. Try it again, and you should be good to go. Heck, a factory reset might even do the trick.

The problem is your modem. Replace it with one that is not an i9000 modem
Sent from my HTC Desire HD
Yes I agree. Sounds more like a modem issue than anything else.
One way to test would be to flash back to Andromeda and see if things start working right.
Wouldn't the Odin1-click put everything on new? PRL, SBL, kernel, modem and ROM?

yes. but he didnt actually use the real one click, because he indicated that he had to use a .zip file for it.....
Thanks everyone for the help. Was able to flash back to Andromeda 3 and everything works just fine. Not sure what is going on with Odin.
I would like to try it again. Can anyone recomend a good stock modem to try for my I897 just in case I get stuck again? The Odin that I used was I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe (the update.zip I think was just for CWM).
Again, thanks for all the input.
Hello.
I'm having almost this same problem, just that I actually can hear the other people talking but they can't hear me. This problem doesn't happen when I go back to stock Eclair, there I can normally make calls and talk, but when I flash any custom ROM (I've tried Serendipity, MIUI and Darky's) this issue appears again :S
Please help me I'm really starting to lose my head
PD: Sorry for my English.

Thank you sir I shall thank you tomorow, all taped out
Just making sure, as of right now it's not possible to mount the SD card to a PC and transfer files this way, right?
Not sure on glitch, but running RC2.11+Nushor's big mem 20120201 AND 20120101 worked just fine.
Does anyone know a good modem for this that works in Oregon? Every modem I use I get good signal and sound on my end but the sound on the other end is low.
No Wifi
Flashed 2.1 yesterday all went well but no wifi. Tried crusecontrl's MO found here all went well but still no wifi. Tried the JVT modem without success as well, so went back to JK3 as JVT 3G connection was no bueno. Any suggestions as to where else I should be looking? Did not see this issue in the known bug list.
Thanks,
SGH-1897
Modem: I9000JK3
Kernel: 3.0.8 Nushor

I'm using KI1 in Corvallis, and it's working great. No complaints on either end.
Captivate Modem
For anyone who is experiencing problems with their call quality on the Captivate (I897) here is a modem that works:
www.mediafire.com/?bps9bw65jno2a4o
This appears to be one of the only modems I could flash that did not sound distorted (garbled, low, static) in any manner. Only downside is that the cell signal strength is slightly weaker than the other I897 modems I tried. Sound quality is more important than cell signal strength.
Speaking of modems, anyone has a suggestion for a modem that works good in Canada (if in Montreal, even better)?
Sound clarity is fine but my signal is quite weak and outside the city, I can't get 3G.
Also, where can I find a trustworthy source for the stock modem if I need to revert back to it after some experiments?
Thanks!

Thanks. I did but there's nothing in the map for Montreal. I will probably give KG3 a try.
Anyone experienced issues when reverting back to stock modem?
Also, is the procedure mentioned in the how-to (making sure the reception is poor, therefore forcing the band in 850) is still valid?

Rogers seems to play well with KC1, if you want to give that a try.
I posted this question in the original thread for ICS. I installed ICS RC 2.1 this morning over cm7/miui rebooted cleared the cache and rebooted again. The soft buttons have only worked a handful of times. I'm using the Glitch kernel it came bundled with. Any help would be great. Thanks adzidek for pointing me to this thread.
You need to switch the kernel. Either flash a newer glitch found at their thread, or flash one of nushor's kernels at ics.darkirc.me
You might need to factory reset, but I know that newer nushor kernels need wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel.
Sent from my ICS powered Captivate.
Modem Questions
Is the procedure for flashing modems with this ICS ROM the same as before? Just selecting a modem and flashing in CWM?
I'm running the ICS RC2.11 with Nushor's r3148v kernal for I897 and I897 AT&T GB Bootloaders. Everything works great for me, other than the known issue with the video recording (WIP) and my low cell signal. The sound quality is great on calls, however in areas where I used to get 3-4 bars, I'm lucky to have one colored in. Is this just that ICS reports the signal differently, or should I try swapping modems? Also, I know in the past you had to use the modem that matched your kernel (I897 vs. I9000.) Is that still true? I noticed after flashing Nushor's and finally booting successfully, that I have JVT which is a I9000 modem. I presume then that I just need to use any one of the CM ICS modems for I9000, and to stay away from I897 modems, correct?
I'm sorry if this seems n00bish, I've been flashing ROM's for quite some time, however my experience with modems is not nearly as vast. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
So I'm trying to odin back to stock. But, I can't access download mode. I've tried adb commands, buttons combos, everything, including a USB jig, no go. Is download mode not built into these ICS builds?
How can I access download mode??
I was thinking about flashing to CM7, then access dl mode, then stock. But, can't flash to CM7 due to build.prop errors that I can't overcome (despite making the proper corrections).
I'm out of ideas, and would really appreciate help!
Thanks
Smith
EDIT: found the RC1 zip lying around and flashed that, and it happened to contain a bootloader with download mode. We're good. Thanks
Hello World!
let me first explain my problem :
i got a GT-i9000 (Samsung Galaxy S) from my friend.
the device already installed with custom ROM (lidroid if i'm not mistaken).
problem is, many features of this sweet device is not working :
sound not working at all (no sound coming out from speakers and 3.5mm jack)
the accelerometer are inverted (tilting the phone up makes the ball on 'calibration' go right)
so i tried to install CM7, and then CM9 on this device.
but now all of the soft buttons doesn't work. (all 3 buttons doesn't work at all)
PLUS all the problems i described above.
i tried installing custom kernel for CM7/CM9
but the problem still there.
and then, i tried to install a stock ROM from samfirmware.
but i don't know what my device is from.
apparently, the box are missing too..
i already tried updating the phone software with Kies, but it always stuck at "connecting phone.."
oh, and strangely, the Baseband part of the about phone is always shown as "Unknown"..
is it has something to do with modem?
Sounds weird. I would suggest a complete reset/wipe and a flashing of a stock ROM (e.g. from Sammobile). Be sure you wipe anything, including dalvik cache and cache partition.
I think you may have a damaged I9000.
To be sure, try again flashing Samsung ROM from Samfirmware (important! with 'repartition' and 'bootloader update' options).
I recommend XXJVT 3-file.
Try to flash it to its stock ROM using your current location, if that's what you're problem, location shouldn't be a problem for now, you should try to make it work first. Then if all else fails, I think you gotta return that phone to your friend coz the ROMs you mentioned should be working properly (unless you didn't wipe your cache).

well, i want to connect my phone and update it through Kies, but the phone is always stuck at "connecting device"..
oh, and one more thing.. can changing ROM breaks the hardware of a phone?
you can use this tutorial (and files within) to flash to a stock rooted rom + CWM .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
If you wanna keep it stock just dont flash the ICS rom they're talking about in the topic ,use odin and thats it .
edit : changing roms cant break the hardware (as far as i know,unless ofc there are some features that force hardware over their limit ,for example if you force the audio volume too much your speakers will start making noises when playing music) ,though it can rarely brick the phone (if you rly mess up or odin crashes while flashing )

yes. this is exactly what i do after i installed CM9.
i forgot to add this on my first post..
um, so now my device is using i9000XWJVZ. and the baseband is still showing "unknown", and those 2 problems i described above are still there..
any ideas?
baseband version = modem (if im not mistaken) . flash another modem maybe? i have baseband version I9020AUCKF1 (nexus modem)
hmm...we should make a test to make sure the hardware is working allright. Download Andro Sensor and see what accelerometer sensor says (do this with all roms).

Not sure what your issue is but it may be hardware related.
The best way to determine if it is a hardware issue is to start over and go to full clean stock. If the problem persists, you need to replace some hardware.
Go to @dr.ketan's sticky thread on stock ROMs and flash a stock jellybean ROM. It will wipe everything (not your photos and stuff, just data)
Follow the install instructions via Odin on the thread, mobile Odin is not acceptable because it won't wipe preload and leaves too much behind.
