New exchanged cappy - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i just got a new cappy on exchange from bby and have some questions prior to roming.
I had a 1007 build and got a 1010. What root methods are good for preloaded 2.2?
Can i odin one click to 2.1 like with my first one and root from there?

If you are going to flash a custom rom there is no need to root. Flash speedmod kernel with odin to get cwm and flash rom in recovery.
If you want a gingerbread rom the added step of flashing gingerbread bootloaders is required. Still no need to root.
But if you were going to root, super one click would be the way.

Thank you

Also that Odin one click (JF6) doesn't work well with builds 1010 and later.

I think you can use the full Odin and flash a stock firmware. If you are GB bootloaders you will have to flash back to froyo/eclair bootloaders... which, flashing btldrs is not necessarily safe, just keep the cat and dog out of the room so they don't rip the cord out mid flash

Can't get cwm

I've tried everything to get cwm installed. I did the new att bootloader. Now nothing I do will get me out of sight verified 3e.

A little more info would help. What rom are you using, did you try using Rom Manager? If you are on Gingerbread bootloaders you can flash KF1 with Cognition 5 Beta kernel, it has CWM.
I'm using the kf1 one click. I was looking at the latest kernels and none were for Odin.

Before I went looking for old odin kernels though I would ask if anyone knew what was up.

You can use this kernel Cognition 5. Thats a KF1 based rom, that kernal has CWM and it works with stock KF1.

How to Unlock SGH-I896 w/ CM7 (latest nightly/stock bootloaders)

Hi,
I need to send my Captivate to a friend out of Canada and need to unlock the device. I'm running the latest CM7 nightly w/ glitch kernel v12 and stock 2.2 bootloaders. Any way to unlock it while on CM7? Or is it necessary to Odin back to stock?
Thanks.

There is a Rogers stock Odin image on XDA. I also have my backup efs folder. If I go back to stock rogers would it still not unlock?
Sorry for the stupid question.

Did you have repartition checked or unchecked? Needs to be unchecked when flashing kernels. If i remember correctly, i used cm10 to get to jb. All i had to do flash the ROM twice in recovery. First time was to get CWM 6 loaded, then the actual ROM flashed no issues, kernel included
It was unchecked.. and I was flashing semaphore kernel specifically because it would root my cappy.

If u r back on Stock KK4, then the KK4 Corn Kernel has CWM Recovery and u can get Root within that recovery as well. I recommend version 7.0A http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18233847

Any specific reason why I would flash version 7.0A instead of 7.01 <-- (What im going to flash, cause I couldn't find download for 7.0A) or newer versions like 7.06?
7.0A is just the baseline version...and really all u need if u r just gonna flash a custom rom..but any of the corn kernels will do.
Links are in the OP. (or should be ?? ----they r workin for me)

Alright, thanks. Nope, I see all of the other links except for version 7.0A
Ok, so I flashed corn kernel version 7.01.. everything worked fine.. but how do i get root access now?
There is an option in the cwm recovery...maybe under advanced options...don't remember exactly, but it is there.

Returning to stock

Hi all,
Thinking of selling my i9000 soon (to upgrade to an S3), before I sell it. I'd like to return it to a stock rom and unroot it (currently on CM9), which stock rom should I use? How do I unroot it, and how do I remove all my personal information?
Thanks in advance

Thanks! Do I need to use a PIT and repartition? Are there any things to look out for since I'm going from ICS to GB, or is it just the same as flashing any other Odin ROM?
Sorry for all the questions
There is no problem to go back to gb from ics if you use odin.just flash it and you are done.

I thought that it is not that easy because some ICS use different filesystems.
If you want to get back to gb custom rom it's difficult.odin is used to flash official firmware.

So I am supposed to flash
GB-Stock-Safe-v5 \ Hotfile - 4shared
?
and it will give me the stock rom?
That is right.
That is one of the Samsung stock, JQ1 for Italy.
Download the guide too.
And this is a good base to flash overcome kernel, which gives you cwm recovery, which is what you need if you want to flash any custom Rom.
