What Odin/One click package should i download to get root with GB bootloaders with CWM and flash zip file roms only? So i can flash roms like Fasty III and others? Which one is suggested for great battery life? Experts please
First off you don't need root to flash a rom. as for bootloaders use either a leak 2.3.5 i897 rom with bootloader or just the bootloader package. They are stickied in Dev section.
Can you please send me a link im new at all this but im learning i have Odin 3 v 1.81 and Odin v 1.81 ATT GB bootloaders extracted. I just want to be able to use download mode jig and plug in USB and go.
I have UCK H3 one click is that good enough to get started? Could i flash a rom in rom manager like fasty III im looking for fast and grt battery life.
KH3 1 click should be good. Don't use Rom Manager. Here you can find everything you will need. Just flash KH3 or any other GB leak, let it boot up normally, flash (with ODIN or SGS kernel flasher(app)) the boog's kernel that has CWM, let it boot up normally. Boot up in recovery and flash the rom.
Yea ive seen this which one should i pick and with or w/o bootloaders. 2.3 or 2.4.5 not sure? Just want the best one for speed and battery life and i like launcher pro.
I don't use launcher pro so can't say. But IMO KH3 or KJ3 would be my best (I still use KH3 modem). You need bootloaders so you can flash one with bootloaders.

SGS kernel flasher requires root. Which rooting involves a kernel swap with Odin anyway, so for this purpose its pretty useless.
I just flashed UCK H3 and while in process i checked flash bootloaders now im soft bricked. Will the download mode jig help? I have one i dont know what to do. It doesnt work. What can i do am i screwed? I have the soft brick symbols on my phone now.
Reboot pc, swap usb Ports (make sure its one on the back of the PC), right click Odin and ruin as admin, put .tar in pda slot, Pull battery, replace, use jig, ignore screen that appears, connect to PC if Odin recognizes it hit start.
Grt thanks ok i got the fish now what do i reboot or what and add kernel next? I still have Odin opened and USB plugged in
Disconnect, close Odin. Pull battery, replace, use jig, flash boog's kernel the same edu you flashed the fugu kernel.
Im getting a screen that looks like a TV screen all lines what the heck is that? Its boots to ATT logo then TV screen all colors and lines. I did the kernel it passed but not sure whats going on now. It keeps rebooting ATT screen and TV looking screen
... That sounds like you didn't flash correct bootloaders. Correct me if Im wrong. On a side note ya Studa I had a brain fart on SGS kernel flasher.
I can still get in download mod with jig. Cant i try a diffrent package in Odin?
Did you use KH3 with bootloaders?
Not sure what to do im trying the AIO toolbar and im enabled for root phone but seems like nothing is happeneing im still in download mode
that is froyo boots on a gingerbread ROM.
op flash this package
That will flash the gingerbread bootloaders which will get rid of those lines and make it possible to boot into recovery.
DO NOT USE AIO TOOLBOX AFTER THIS PACKAGE IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. might as well just delete that for safe measure.
Ok i was in recovery in rebooted phone now im at ATT screen logo no lines now. What do i do now is there a rom to flash or am i even rooted? Can i go into download mode and flash a kernel
Im staying at recovery till i hear back from someone lol. Where do i go from here?

I having been trying to root and unlock my Samsung Captivate and I have constantly been hitting dead ends. I have tried various apps and YouTube clips and nothing seemd to work. I know someone out here can help me unlock this phone. I rather learn how to unlock it than pay $50. I NEED HELP!!!!
Phone Specs:
I don't have AT&T Sim Card
Base: i897uckb1
Firm: 2.2
Kernal: 2.6.32.9
I am new to this "unlocking and rooting" world, so I have been learning while i'm going, please bare with me in advance.
The last program I ran to unlock the phone was "OneClickUnlock." After it went through its whole deal, my phone read - "E:signature verification failed". I have no idea what to do from here...PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!!!!
There are plenty of threads that cover both these issues.

what you need to do is read. thats how you learn
i would agree with pirateghost but i find that people do things all @$$ backwards around here and give out the most time consuming ways to do things.
ok you already have the odin one click installer, is that the one the brings it to jf6?
does the phone boot? or does it enter recovery and give you that message?
since setting up adb might be too much too soon the best way will be to get the phone back to a bootable state if it is failing to fully bootright now. if the phone is a newer model and came factory installed with kb1 it is posible that you need a different one click installer, infact dont bother with the one click installers, it is faster to use the full oding to flash a kernel with cwm installed by default.

this is the rogers 2.2 rom, first one i found and better anyway. use the odin and pit and .tar in the downloads in that thread.
select repartition for good measure and flash the the above rom, the .tar goes in the pda slot. the 512.pit goes in the .pit slot, that's all that is needed.
after you flash your phone back to working condidtion, use odin to flash a custom kernel, the kernel must be in .tar format
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=547852&d=1300708475
^this is speed mod, maybe the most popular and stable, if the phone will boot into the rom then you can start here.
put the kernel .tar file in the pad slot in odin and flash it in download mode, no .pit is needed.
with this kernel you can flash .zip files. you can root or skip strait to flashing a rooted rom, you may also have luck with one of the att kb1 kernels with modifications like skull cap or firebird if you like the stock rom, which the bluetooth calling needs an att or a rogers kernel and modem to work.
most people arent .tar-ing the kernels they build. yet all the users like to flash to stock before a flash, seems to me since you are sitting at odin, flash a kernel and shorten the whole process.
The reason you get the signature failed is because your recovery mode is a type called 3e the 3e recovery mode doesn't allow unsigned packages such as the unlock. What you need to do is get a kernal that has the 2e recovery mode in it and flash that, then you can root using anything and flash update. Zip files, you will need to follow a guide for that though, you can find one by searching "flash 2e kernal on captivate" in google

Press thanks!
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?
I was at stock 2.2 froyo, then flash my first custom rom Serendipity IV, then flashed Continuum v5.6. So i decided to try the new Mosaic IV. On the Mosaic IV page it states that if you are on TalonDEV kernel you need to flash to Xcalv's Kernel. I downloaded Xcal's kernel "I9000_reoriented_vG.1.2_novoo.tar". on the Mosaic IV page, flashed. Now i can't get back into recovery mode. What's going on what can i do?
how exactly did you flash the kernel?
can you still get into download mode? if so odin flash the kernel again.
I used Sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel. Was this what caused it?
yes i can get into download mode.
So open ODIN 3, go into download mode pluge the phone in and put the xcal's kernel in the PDA slot and hit start?
Thanks!
yeah the only way we recommend flashing kernels is with odin. the app can cause problems...as you are now aware of.
yeah open odin put the .tar in the pda slot, make sure repartition is unchecked plug in while in Dl mode and flash away.
flashed with oden3, took the battery out and hold vol+ & power, it's in the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen no recovery mode. what do i do now?
oh wait....before you flashed the kernel the first time with the app, did you disable lagfix?
oh crap no i didn't. Darn it and read that too. my bad.
so my option is to flash back to stock GB 2.3.3?
how do i flash back to stock? what do i need?
go back to the mosaic thread in the same post you got the kernel there is a link to a tutorial thread that has all the information and files you need.
Sweet thanks!
how do i get into download mode i flashed mosaic 4 and when rebooted it stays on the att white screen any solutions?
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 have read tons of time,
I tried to install Cyanogenmod, but it seems when I get to the recovery it doesn't work..
I flashed the recovery through CWM, but its very limited and blue not bright green or yellow as always.
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)

I've flashed a full gingerbread stock rom, with boot loaders and it works fine,
but now I can't get to the download mode, so I cant flash the rooted kernel..
I'm stucked unrooted, How can I root it?
It's Gingerbread 2.3.3 UCKF1 Build stock rom.
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.

I have a i9000 phone here that i decided to flash a new kernal to. I flashed speedmod to it. It was originally completely stock 2.2 except that it had root. Anyways i flashed new kernel in odin. The kernel flashed and the it looked to be right, except it wont power on. the only thing i can do is get into download mode. any ideas.
find stock ROM and flash it with odin! its not bricked. connect it to odin and flash whole ROM the same way as u did with kernel.
use the search option to find the stock flashable with odin mate.

Try and flash again friend. Im sure it will work out
If that doesn't work then download the file again and flash the phone
Good Luck
P.S. PM me if u can't get it
