[Q] GB to Stock 3e Recovery Problem - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
so i was bricked and then tried to use heimdall one click to stock, found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172) that was for 2.1/2.2.. but i was running GB before it was bricked. i was unable to access the phone in download mode through odin (which i am more familiar with) so i had to use heimdall, which worked like a charm to unbrick.
now my problem is when the phone boots up, it goes to the 3e recovery screen.. and im not quite sure what to do next. should i be flashing 2.1 or 2.2 bootloaders through heimdall? or ive read something about flashing 2e recovery, but im not quite sure what it is. i figured i would ask some advice before i went any further and maybe make things worse. thanks for the help

closed. got it to work!

And did you flash your stock kernel back after the rooting?
When the phone goes into this loop it cant stop unless I take the battery out, after doing that I try and flash the stock 1 again and it shows the loadscreen and then goes into the loop again. I need urgent help please... I think I may have done some things wrong... Dont know what to do to get my phone just back to the way it was after I updated to 2.2.
Thanks for replying

So you get into download mode. And you flash stock , but it still shows the fish logo? Just to clarify
No it does the same except it doesn`t show the fish logo, am I maybe flashing the wrong file or not flashing correctly at all?

Yes? So you can get easily into the download and recovery mode right? Try to flash some other kernel maybe. fugumod, cf root, speedmod or something .
What rom are you on and what are you trying to flash?
I am on froyo that I downloaded through kies, so now I tried to root my phone with fuguroot when this happened. Isnt there a way to go back to the stock froyo and try flashing fuguroot from there. Isn`t fuguroot and fugumod the same? Sorry for all these qeustions im new

Fuguroot is just for rooting, not an actual kernel
Fugumod is a full kernel with which you can run your phone
And how did you flash fuguroot ? And where did you get the stock kernel?
Cuz right now I think you flashed a gingerbread kernel on your froyo rom after you rooted with fuguroot.
And the way back if you killed your rom. As long as you are able to get inside the download mode you can flash a full rom 3 parts (maybe with pit and repartition)
I can only get into download mode, recovery mode only shows load screen and hangs. Do I need fugumod to use fuguroot because the rooting wasnt successful thats what im struggling with. I only want to root my phone so I can use one of the lagfixes, dont know which one yet, can you maybe recommend a route for me to take
I flashed fuguroot using the .tar files in that thread throught odin, adding the file to pda and preesing start. It says it completed successfully but when it resets it wont stop.

Can you please answer me where you got your stock kernel from ? The one you flashed AFTER fuguroot? Then we can move further.
And also you dont need fugumod even though its a very good kernel. But not sure about the froyo version. First, WHAT did you flash after fuguroot?

So as I said, you flashed a gb kernel on a froyo rom. You need a froyo kernel. I have no idea where there are froyo stock kernels. For that you need to google or search here on xda.
or you can try the froyo versions of the kernels I wrote you a post up.
Ok thanks i will try that, will get back to you if i'm struggling
Edit: will this one work?

If no luck while searching stock kernels you can try this http://fugumod.org/zImage.2.7.tar <<< fugumod full kernel for froyo
or from here speedmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
or voodoo or some cf root. really no idea where the stock kernels are
EDIT: that one you found, I dont know, and no idea if it will work. But if you wanna go custom. Try rather the kernels I posted up. (now I hope you have the I9000 too : )
Ive flashed a stock kernel that I found and it hanged at the loadscreen, after that tried flashing fugumod and it`s been hanging on fish logo for about 10 minutes already. Will keep it going a while to see if something happens.
I can however, get into recovery mode now. Is there something I can do from there?

You can try to do a factory reset from the recovery first.
I kinda hope you flashed a kernel for froyo this time. And flashing kernel over kernel and also gb. It might break your rom too. Depends on what the kernels are doing and applying.
If everything fails
Since you know how ot use ODIN if this doesnt work. I think you should try a whole new rom install. Either the one for your country as it is froyo. Or maybe try out the whole new shiny GB
Hi i am trying to flash my rom with a stock froyo rom but i'm not sure if im downloading the correct one. Ive found them here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913&highlight=galaxy+rom
And im downloading this one : I9000XWJS8|2.2.1|2011 March|Download
will it solve my problem?
Edit: After flashing a stock kernel a few minutes ago i am unable to go into recovery mode and it still hangs at boot screen, can someone please just give a quick overview on how to flash the new rom.
Thanks

Well I have no idea what rom you had before. From which country and csc you have. Also why are you trying to flash froyo if there is gingerbread?
And I guess the flashing of those custom kernels I wrote you didnt help?
Probably .
But if it fails flash via Odin stock Eclair 2.1 with pit 512 and repartition checked is my get out of jail card .

Hi there,
I had the issue that after apllying FuGus kernel, the phone kept looping in the loading phase (showing the battery symbol) and doing something (busy indicator). Nevertheless, I just switched it off (this worked) and installed the original kernel. Since then, everything works fine.
As I am not allowed to post answers in the dev branches --> @nikademus: Thanks a ton!
Anton

3 combos buttons work ?
Vol down+home+power on/off ?
Vol Up + home+ power on/off ?
if yes, try to flash the correct rom for I9000M
If you can get into download mode, and Odin sees your phone, then it is very unlikely that you bricked it.
Just flash Darkys ressurection or stock Samsung ROM from Odin.
ok installed darkys, now all phone does is flash galaxy i9000 screen
managed to get past that screen and back to recovery mode, and still d/l mode, trying EZBASE now as i was getting as far as colour S then bursts of vibrations
UPDATE:
stuck on boot loop now, still can access recovery and d/k mode, after trying to install EZBase. is their any other siggestions.
pref, instructions and files for re-loading stock firmware for australia on it, if memory calls had 2.2 of eclair
still no luck people, any further advice please
I just had the same issue with my i9000m. Download the fireware I9000UGJL2.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
It fixed my issue instantly. Then go to that kitchen rom website and create your own ROM. My phone has never been faster. GPS works very good, way better than before. Even cell service is 100000000000 times better....
ok, good news is i have it working stock rom and rooted, got most aps back on, now my issue is, i cant install clockwork recovery from rom manager, i tried it via odlin and got the screen of phone and pc and the exclamation mark. can some1 please help out as to how i can get clockwork recovery mod installed.
fone details are
galaxy S i9000I now just without the i
firmware 2.1-update1
baseband i9000xxjm4

ok thanks, what should i flash then, or how can i update to 2.2 or 2.3 without loosing files and apps ?
Man you should not try to flash things when you don't understand them.
For this moment you tried to flash a kernel that is for a gingerbread rom (JVB, android 2.3.3) on your Eclair 2.1. Don't you think you should read a bit more before flashing everything on your phone?
Go to the official rom thread and follow the guides to flash a gingerbread(2.3.3) or Froyo(2.2) rom
Ok ill put this as plain and as simple as i can
1. I am new to flashing
2. I asked how to do it, as after all this is a q&a section
3. I feel my questions hvae not been answered correctley
so i shall explain again and this time links may help
1. I want a kernal that will give me recovery options
2. I do not want to loose anything on the phone
3. I want to upgrade to 2.3
so i would like links please or someone who can take the time to write a quicvk step list telling me what to do.
You really need to go to main thread and all info is there, it would take ages to talk you out of this...its all out there, seek and you shall find, its tough love

[Q] Firmware flash with Odin problem GT-i9000M

Today, my phone became laggy and I restarted my phone, however it didn't boot past the samsung galaxy s i900m screen. It never reaches the animation screen.
This happened before and after hours of trying different methods i sent it in to get fixed but now it has happened again and i want to see if i can fix it myself.
I have tried to flash it with I9000UGKC1 without any PIT file and repartition unticked and odin had completed it successfully but the phone just cycles back into the boot screen.
Ive tried flashing it again with the same firmware and a 512 PIT file with repartition ticked and unticked but its always the same result.
Is there anything I am doing wrong or are there any other suggestions?
p.s I have rooted the phone and applied a lagfix.
Thanks in advance.
Rule one before flashing UNDO LAGFIX lagfix F**** your install .

Hi dude,
Try flashing with the ODIN included.
Hopefully, it will fix your problem
P.S. if nothing works try flashing Darky's resurrection edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671&highlight=[ODIN+ROM]
Good luck!
Thanks for the replies guys.
jje, i would disable it now but since it's bricked i dont think i can. Also i cant get into recovery mode. Im only getting into download mode because i bought myself a jig the last time this happened.
Nitro, i dont know what you mean by "ODIN included" ive been using odin to flash it.
What is Darky's by the way? Is it a custom ROM?
darkys is a custom rom... and Im pretty sure he meant he had attached odin for you.
Maybe try flashing JL2 with 512 and part checked..? does odin flash without an issue? and do you get any errors when trying to enter recovery?
Oh okay... well i was using odin 1.7 anyway
odin flashes without an issue and i cant get into recover because my phone is one of the unfortunate ones without 3BR.
I'll try flash it again as you said but if it doesnt work ill just go ahead and send it in to get fixed.
there are phones with no 3BR? I thought it was only 3 button download??? So odin flashed without any issues and you still cannot boot?
What firmware are you flashing?
Try JL2/KC1 maybe try a gb like JVO
usually the phones can't get into either.
i had to buy a jig to get into download mode.
ive tried KC1, JL2 and some others for android 2.1 and the same keeps happening. Odin flashes fine but the phone never boots
I'm just going to send it in to get fixed. I was just seeing if it was me doing something wrong or its just the phone and well it seems like its the phone.
Thanks for your help
if you can hit download mode you should be able to flash it, does adb work for you to get into recovery i think it's something like
adb reboot recovery.....not sure on that though, anyways, try flashing a new kernel, go to the dev section and flash hardcore speedmod then flash the rom again, at this point I dont think it matters so I would try using a 512 pit and tick repartition......just me though, i'd be trying everything before I sent it away

[Q] im lost????

i'm trying to figure out how to just get to where i can flash a rom, my phone is sgh-I897 running 2.2 froyo.uckb1
if i have read some of the stickys right i need to use odin to flash back to stock or flash a different kernel is this correct? to get around the 2e-3e sig.verif.
could someone please point me in the right direction? from what i can tell there are alot of ways to do this or maybe not??? which is the safest or shortest..
thanks to any that can help me out.....
Yes, you need to get past the stock 3e recovery before you can do anything.
Method 1) simple, easy. Use the script from the 3e sticky in general section (post 3 from TRusselo) to patch from your computer. Then you can flash CWM (through update.zip or ROM manager on the market if you are rooted), and flash any number of FroYo ROMs. NOTE: you cannot flash a GB ROM from FroYo.
Method 2) kill fly via sledgehammer, possible risk, and 3-button problems later depending on build number of phone. Put phone in download mode (power off, hold volume up and down, plug in USB) flash via Odin back to 2.1 stock. (Different Odin will fix 3button if you know it will be an issue) then flash CWM, and flash FroYo ROM desired. Odin *can* brick your phone if something goes wrong; cable unplugs, battery removed, etc.
Im sure there are more ways, but those are the most common and easiest.
Recovery is in the kernal, so a new kernal will fix, but you have to replace or mod the 3e recovery before you can flash a new kernal.
My suggestion is the windows script file, its easiest, and can't brick your phone.

this is false. you can flash a kernel in ODIN and completely bypass 3e recovery altogether.
there are several kernels that are ODIN ready......
Read the before flash posts, then read them again. It will save you a ton of headaches down the road. And almost every rom has step by step instructions-read these next.
Please search before opening a new thread. All of this is in the threads. On a side note. A fast way is not the safe way, and the safe way is not fast. Think about what you are doing, do you really want to rush it?

[Q] I think I'm half bricked.. Help

Hello,
I own a I-897 Captivate model, and I had a custom 2.3.4 gignerbread rom recently..
Latley I tried to move to cognition becuase the other rom did problems for me..
So I followed the guide, and when I first flashed the kernel I wasn't using any pit file..
So it's just stuck on odin with nothing happening, so I closed odin and rebooted my phone.
Then the phone showed me a logo with phone and computer with X between them.
So I flashed again using the pit then I got to the recovery, where I tried to install the cognition 5.2 without succes, it finished the install, but when I rebooted it just kept switching between the boot screen of AT&T and Galaxy S GT I9000..
So I tried to use my Nandroid backup, but it just won't work, I tried to install it manually and still it isn't working..
So I tried to instal my previous rom and succeeded, but now when I reboot it it just loading the Talon logo, finishes it and stuck on the end of the loading without any action...
So, I can use the download mode and odin.
What should I do?
Thank you very much.

I only got 4 options:
Reboot
Re-Install packges
Wipe user data
Wipe cahce
How do I get my recovery work properly?
That's not CMW that's the regular 3e recovery. You'll need to flash a kernel with CMW built in or one with an alternate recovery (I usually use an Onix kernel)

Pull out your battery, Sim, and SD card. Plug your usb cable into a usb port on the back of your computer then plug it into your phone. Hold volume up and down then reinsert your battery, should boot into download mode.
