If you haven't already tried it, try plugging the USB cable into a different port (preferably one that's directly on the motherboard). If necessary, also reboot the computer, start Odin first, and then connect your phone.

I'm new at this too, but I think you have to be on gingerbread bootloaders first before you odin a gingerbread rom. Check the Dev Section, back aways when KH3 came out I believe someone made a on click odin bootloader as well as a one click KH3 odin. If KH3 is not one click you can follow the instructions which are pretty clear and it should help you convert. Check out Dev Op for Stock KH3 CWM flashable base rom - download now!

Only think I can think of is as fuloplori said try different USB ports. Namely ones attached to the motherboard or rebooting your computer and trying again.

No they don't. Try flashing KH3 without flashing KF1 bootloaders, won't work.

Just remembered something. You're right about one thing. You'll have to flash KF1 (or add the missing files from KF1 to whatever version you're wanting to flash) since the ones after KF1 aren't full firmwares and only have what has been updated with exception of the primary bootloader (boot.bin) which hasn't changed -- secondary bootloader (sbl.bin) has changed in every version so far.
^
You are correct. The KH3, KI1 and KI2 leaked firmwares did not come with the dbdata.rfs (smaller and larger files), cache.rfs (smaller file), and the param.lfs file.
But I do believe this... [Stock-ROM][2.3.5][I897UCKI2]One-click Odin with Boog's KI1/KI2 Kernel WITH Bootloaders has everything that is needed.
The one-click with NO Bootloaders is in the OP.

Hey guys I hard bricked my captivate and need help evaluating what I did wrong so I can prevent it from happening in the future. I just received the device in the mail (it was a replacement device) and tried to use odin one click JF6 to flash it to eclair. I've done this process 100's of time with my previous captivate but with my new one I saw that it was hanging at sbl.bin and my device turned off. I unplugged the usb, did a battery pull, and used my jig and the phone went into download. PHEW... Thinking that my JF6 odin was corrupt or something I decided to use Odin One click JI6 and the odin hung again but this time I wasn't so lucky. The phone wasn't showing any thing and the jig was infective. The phone hard bricked. My question is how did I brick it and why did it hang when I tried odin one click,. (Odin one click has always worked flawlessly for me in the past). Also are froyo and eclair bootloaders the same? If were to flash JF6 2.1 eclair using odin3 over Rogers Froyo should that work?l (BTW my device is 10.11 build)
edit: I understand that odin one click always has a risk involved because your flashing boot loaders but I just want to distinguish whether it was just an unlucky odin flash or something to do with the build number. Thanks
thats a good question. As far as I know Froyo and Eclair have the same bootloaders, but as far as the Odin problem- im sorry I have no idea.
A lot of people on here have bricked their captivates by using OneClick Odin. What happened was that your replacement captivate came with stock froyo which does not work with OneClickOdin. You were on the right track by going to stock JF6. Not sure why it failed for you but if you would have tried it again I'm betting money it would have successfully flashed. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Yes search for other threads about oneclick NOT being cooperative with newer model captivate sthat came with stock froyo. I said he was on the right track because the correct method to go back to stock is JF6. Which can be found in Icezar1's continuum thread which requires odin 1.3, the pda file, etc. If he would have simply tried the JF6 process again it would have completed rather than using 1 click odin and messing up everything. Read the second post of this thread where ZELENDEL says that newer captivates with froyo don't work with oneclick

First of all JF6 is NOT a "method" of going back to stock. JF6 is stock firmware. And I could be wrong but I thought icezars program gave you
Stock firmware 'JI6'? I'm not next to my computer so I do t really know off the top of my head.
*EDIT* Your right, icezars1 program is JF6 firmware. However it is only given as an alternative. Even states in his OP the only reason why Odin3 Oneclickdownload would not work would be because of an unreliable USB driver. So this is indeed a safer way to get back to stock JF6. Odin3 one click should work too. It's unfortunate that it doesn't "always" work.

I'm sure you understood what I meant when I said JF6. It is certainly a rom and the process mentioned in Icezar's thread is one of the preferred methods of downgrading a newer model captivate that is on stock froyo. Let's hope that we have answered and clarified all questions for the OP.

i actually didn't understand what you meant. You make 2 refrencses to using JF6 as a method. First you said the correct method to go back to stock is "JF6", then you said the JF6 process. Again...both refrences to a single JF6 method, when that is not the case. Both methods used to get back to JF6 stock firmware use Odin. One is a one click program, the other a manual flash using .tar.md5 file.
Duuhdave, if im on stock froyo (im in canada btw, so rogers) and use cezars method of flashing stock firmware through full blown odin, should I be flashing jf6(i897 2.1) or rogers 2.1? I ask this because ussualy they want you to on jf6 before flashing.

As far as flashing to stock with Odin 1click from stock Froyo, it has worked fine for me MANY times. Bricking using the odin 1click may be related to build number. I went from a 1007 (with stock 2.1) to a warranty repacement 1008 with froyo stock. I flashed 2.1 without a problem, and have several other times.
Using Odin 3 one-click, and icezar1's stock rom will both take you to I-897 AT&T stock JF6. If you want to return to Rogers stock 2.1 without flashing bootloaders, use TRusselo's Rogers Captivate Stock ROMS no ATT logo!.
Thanks for the help!

its the build number that caused it
More than likely it was something about the phone having stock froyo with the 3e recovery. I have never had the issue with any of my 2 captivates 1007's and wife's 1010 build but they came with stock eclair. I know many people have had issues due to the stock froyo with 3e recovery as why there is a modded 3e recovery how to somewhere on this forum. Since he laready had froyo boot loaders it has nothing to do with that, and either was a fubar flash due to 3e recovery, bad USB cable, etc that messed things up.

I am running Cog 5B2. It has the captivate GB bootloaders. If i want to change to a i9000 GB rom say Apex do I need to change bootloaders or will the GB captivate ones work?
No you do not need to change bootloaders to go to any other gb rom. Plus I've read on here that the gb bootloaders are backwards compatible with froyo/eclair though I have not confirmed that yet myself.
So there really is no need to ever flash bootloaders again.
I wouldn't say never. But it is good to avoid flashing bootloaders if possible, if something goes wrong flashing bootloaders can result in an actual bricked phone.
On the other hand just flashing roms, kernels and modems sans bootloaders the worst you can likely do is get into soft brick situation or a bootloop which can be easily fixed.
Yup I flashed Serindipty7 right on top of cog 5.2 and then Mosaic V right on top of that no issues to report just make sure you wipe data factory reset before. I haven't flashed anything that has the talon kernel, but still no need to flash bootloaders
Sent from my phone on vacation
Keep it mind GB bootloaders are not backwards compatible with all of them. I know that CM7 does not work with GB bootloaders.
I prefer the I9000 gb bootloaders. They both work the same but The captivate ones have the same button combos which I've always thought were really stupid. The I9k's combos are just more intuitive and simplistic the way they should have always been if you ask me.

OP on Mosaic V has link for xcal's 1.2 i9000 kernel.tar download that. Start at step 5 on that OP, use Odin 1.7 (linked as 'Files you will need' in the MV OP) to flash xcal's kernel, make sure to not auto reboot from Odin and when it's done flashing kernel, do a battery pull and then go to recovery mode, factory reset and then flash Obsession.

Yes, but aren't both of them methods to go back to Eclair and not Froyo ? My earlier Cappy got bricked bcoz I tried stocking back to Eclair, when it came with Froyo.
My question is how do you flash custom rom while on kf1 boots? Running cog 5 beta 2 with cwm4. Can I flash roms like I did before via cwm, even though I'm on cwm4, or should I flash a kernel with cwm 2 or cwm3 first, than flash rom thru that?. This question is for both froyo and GB/i9000 roms

Well most roms have a Kernel that they recommend. Best I can figure if you want to flash a froyo rom go back down to stock eclair with one click (don't flash bootloaders) and flash rom of your choice. For GB just flash stock KF1 and flash gb rom? That's just me guessing though.

Oneclick eclair contains bootloaders.
To simplify my question, are rom flashes compatible with cwm4, or do I need cwm2/or 3 to flash roms, whether froyo/GB?

JF6 is eclair is it not? If it is here is a JF6 odin with out bootloaders. If Jf6 is Froyo well my mistake. Still 2.2 stock would still work i think. Point is cmw version wont matter if you go back to stock and flash from there, and its usually a better idea to flash to stock anyways.
Hello all,
I have a few general questions that I would really like some help with:
1.) I understand some bootloaders are not compatible with some ROMs. How do you know which bootloader you are running? How do you change your bootloader, must you use ODIN?
2.) How does the kernel come into all this, are some kernels not compatible with certain ROMs and bootloaders? When you flash a new ROM, does it sometimes come with a new kernel?
The main reason I am curious about this, is because I wish to flash the new Cyanogenmod 7.1 and want to be sure I am successful and do not brick my captivate. I am currently running Serendipity VII Build 2 and want to be as safe as possible when flashing Cyanogenmod 7.1.
Would the safest way be to flash to stock first using the following Odin one click method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Then from there, follow the instructions normally?
All help is greatly appreciated.
There are basically 2 types of bootloaders, Eclair/froyo and Gingerbread bootloaders. GB bootloaders are compatible with preatty much everything (not counting cm7 or MIUI).
Kernels are specific with a type of rom, example Boogs KH3 kernel worked with any rom that was based on KH3 (2.3.4). Some are tweaked specifically for a rom.
On CM7 and MIUI from what I can make out you can run it on either eclair/froyo bootloaders or GB bootloaders but some kernels are specific for bootloaders.
If you are on Serendipity then I am sure you used ODIN to flash i9000 boatloader (BL).
As the above person said there are eclair/froyo BL and GB BL....in GB BL we have captivate BLs and i9000 BLs. earlier GB roms used i9000 BL...then Samsung leaked captivate specific roms...so we have captivate BLs now..
All the one click Odins are used to flash captivate specific BL...
To go to CM7, many people flash it over GB bootloader and have no problem....but the safest way is to odin back to eclair/froyo stock...then go from there.....

did your phone come with froyo on it/what is the build number of your phone? its a 4 digit number on a sticker under the battery, for example mine is 1010, meaning oct. 2010. many phones built later than this, and/or came from the factory tend to bootloop from jf6 (the firmware containedin that one click) and have also been known to lose button combos for recovery/download mode which would need both if you were bootlooping and for cm7.
if you have a later build phone it would be better to flash a leaked gingerbread firmware with bootloaders included and then flash a custom kernel with cwm included so that you can then flash cm7 from there.

You can use the bootloaders in the first link. At the time of that thread's opening, cm7 didn't support GB bootloaders. But, if your not sure how your phone will work with a1 click, I would recommend using the ones linked in my sig.
As for how to flash those roms, there are directions in the first post of their respective for flashing.
You can use a stock ROM everyday, most just prefer not to.

No one said you cannot use stock leaked rom as dialy driver, i actually used KH3 for some times and it was very good.
You should flash the kernel according to the rom you have flashed. For example, For KH3, there is a Boog's KH3 kernel with CWM. For all leaked stock rom, there is one click Odins and compatible kernels with CWM injected.
To go to CM7.1, u shud be on stock (Eclair/Froyo or GB) and should have CWM....

I need help too please. I have a Cappy that was originally on eclair 2.1 rooted. froyo 2.2 Kies mini update and rooted but didn't like it's battery use and slow action. I reflashed an Odin 1 click stock 2.1 back, rooted and then did a Gingerbread 2.3.5 I897UCKJ3_withBL_ Odin 1 click flash and am liking that quite a bit more. The only trouble I am having is rooting 2.3.5. I want to do the fugu kernal swap method with Odin3 zimage-root.tar then flash boog_KJ3_kernel3.tar. I can get into DL mode and hit the start button ok.
Here is the question I have. Where in Odin3 v1.83 do you load the kernal path? PIT,BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE or CSC. I can't seem to find a comprehensive Odin3 tutorial on my own and I don't want to flash the kernels to the wrong place. I don't think the first 3 options are right based on their names or info I have found. Can't use CWM till I get rooted so Odin or possibly Hiemdall are my only choices. I have Odin3.
HELP and TYIA

Kernels go in pda
When flashing a single file, unless its a modem or csc file, it will usually go into the pda slot. Modems go into the phone slot. Csc file is a no brainer. I've never saw anything that uses the bootloader slot on a captivate. Pit slot must have a pit file AND repartition must be checked. If you are flashing a kernel to get cwm just to flash a custom ROM, kernel goes into pda slot. If you want to user Odin to flash a modem, it goes into the phone slot. All files flashed in Odin must be a tar or tar.md5 file. Don't change the name of a tar.md5, it can cause a md5 check sum error.
There you go, cliff notes for Odin.
Edit
If I missed something or messed up something, please correct me.

When ur phone boots up and u see the i9000 bootsplash, then u have i9000 Gingerbread bootloaders (we didn't have eclair/froyo i9000 Bls). Also, button combo to get into recovery or download mode is different with the i9000 gb bootloaders.
And if u try and flash an i897 gingerbread rom (and don't see the i9000) but u have a "pixelated" screen, then u have i897 eclair/froyo bootloaders. If ur flash to a gingerbread rom is successful and u see the i897 (att world phone) bootsplash, then u have i897 Gingerbread bootloaders.

Odin flash any Odin file from your phone!
The XDA god chainfire put this app together, and I helped him add the Captivate to the list of supported devices yesterday!
flash a whole, or part of: .tar, .tar.md5, modem, even flash the files from inside a ONE CLICK odin, FROM YOUR PHONE!
[28.11.2011] Mobile ODIN v1.20 [ROOT]

No, you'll still need to use a computer-based Odin/Heimdall to flash bootloaders.
(That's what the IBL/PBL items are that are greyed out in the application.)
My day just got infinitely better.

well i have tried this it's flashing to jf6 using cezar flash like a breeze but problem flashing to jf6 the market cant find the mobile odin. and even you dl it on sd card it wont let you install on jf6 stock so i have tried installing the stock leak of kk4 while i was on a i9000 base rom now if you purchase this on market it allows you to automaticaly download the kernel needed to flash now problem here is if your build prop is not tweak to samsung-sgh-i897 build prop it will download the i9000 base kernel which will mess up your flashing and end up on a bootloop going to stock kk4 so still kinda fresh its a go and miss some times it work sometimes end a bootloop this also it does not flash the bootloader from the stock rom so i suggest before you go to stock gb rom flash a captivate base gb loader but got to admit chainfire is really a beast to make an odin on a phone so purchase the app to support him
Can this tool flash .bin file?
please use periods. and sentences. PLEASE.
it is so hard to read a runon sentence like that.
and the proper place to post issues with the app is in the thread where you got it.

WTF am I doing???
GO READ THE FRIGGIN THREAD!
Good work Devs
Do you have a direct link or mirror for v1.20? Tried the version on the market and still getting not compatible.
link in the first post, links to his thread, and it has links to the app. also I think it checks compatibility by reading the build.prop, what's wrong are you running and have you messed with your build.prop
Running MIUI. No, not edited build.prop.
well miui is probably the answer, might want to let the Dev know so he can fix that, if possible.
Ok, will do. Thanks
Not compatible with teamhacksung ICS build 6 either.

team hacksung's ICS port uses the CM7 partitioning table, and Mobile odin doesnt support re-partitioning. so ya. of course it dont and wont ever work.
I am wondering if it is possible to flash back to a stock rom without hooking up to a computer, is there a stock rom that can be installed right from CWM using a zip on the SD Card?
Only one i remember is a kb1 rom by ou812bkewl.
Thanks, I found that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963403. This isn't true stock as it was modified but hopefully it does enough to serve it's purpose.
Yeah, but all true"stock"packages are going to be for a flash utility (Odin/Heimdall for the captivate).
check out MOBILE ODIN
Mobile ODIN sounds super promising! That old rom originally suggested did not pan out, won't flash with the newer versions of CWM.

Dude, totally forgot about that. Is there an emoticon for "duh?"
Mobile Odin's saying my device is not supported.....I'm going to jump off a cliff lol. What I'm trying to do is flash any other ROM than what I have now. I flashed the RC1.0.1 Captivate ROM and now whenever I try to flash a different ROM it fails assertions. I'm guessing this is the same reason mobile ODIN is saying my device is not supported. I'm not going to be around a computer that I have set-up for ODIN for a few days, looks like I'm waiting. Thanks for trying to help me out folks
Mobile Odin requires you to be Rooted. And this flashes the firmware files, not cwm.zips files. (Not sure what u tried and why it said u weren't supported.)
I believe he's talking about the ICSSGS RC 1.0.1. From demonwave(which is rooted). If so, he's stuck if he doesn't have a computer. I had this on my Dev captivate and i couldn't flash from ics to cm7.
I think part of the not supported problem is the screen density, part is the build.prop. Just my $.02.
