[Q] Can't connect to Wifi - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Stuck at "Obtaining IP Address..."
Any solutions?
Been looking around the forum for a heck of a long time already, just didn't want to put my problems down on the board right away.
Some facts about my Captivate.
Model Number: Samsung-SGH-I896
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: I896UXJL1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FROYO.UXJL1
I believe I did a root with SuperOneClick v1.7, haven't had a chance to see if it worked or not because I had no internet access to download any programs.

Did u try rebooting ur router ? I know it's an obvious question and no offense meant by it, sometimes we do overlook the obvious, so... had to ask
And secondly, u could always flash a different modem on ur phone.

Flashing a different modem? Any ideas? I'm new to all this rooting business and I would prefer not to ruin my phone in anyway..

I had the same problem. I had to reflash Froyo to fix the problem.

Do this it works.

[Q] Restoring Korean Galaxy S to 2.1

Hello, i have a Korean Galaxy S, Anycall SHW-m110s,
using steps I found in this forum I upgraded it to froyo firmware DI29, using odin.
The build seems to be an incomplete build and it is quite laggy and buggy. I would like to restore and revert back to the original build, android 2.1 eclair, ECLAIR.DI03, however I'm having trouble finding out how to do that.
If anyone would be so kind as to instruct me how to do this, or instruct me as to where I might be able to find out how to do this, I would be so very appreciative.
Thank you for your time.

I assume you flashed di29 with odin. To go back you would flash di03 with odin the exact same way. If you do not have the rom you can search for "M110S-NPS-IMAGE-REV03-DI03-1545-USER.tar" and I am sure you will find it on numerous sites. After flashing di03 you will likely have to go into recovery mode and wipe fs and cache.
U risk bricking ur phone if u revert to eclair from froyo.

Of course there is always a risk but I have flashed the between dg14, di03 and di29 on an shw-m110s numerous times without any issues.
From my personal experience, as long as you are only flashing the PDA portion I wouldn't worry too much.
so how do i flash bak to eclair jm1 from froyo jp6 ? i read in different posts its possible , but all those who tried bricked their phones

This thread is discussing a specific model sgs, shw-m110s. It has different hardware and firmware.
You are obviously using a different model. You should ask others who use a similar model.

Want you need to do it search for username ramad or chainfire on rooting your phone... they offer good guides on how to do it or go and sign up to this website.... www.darkyroms.com... good luck...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ok! I found some ramad's post, will have a try... some question here.. can you help me out?...
Root means i can bypass OS permission and configure the system my self right? How about flash? erase the default firmware(original android os?) and install a new one? Will it cause some hardware failure or unable to use some features like wifi, bluetooth, gps? or maybe it will enhance it? !
After flash... some apps will unable to use right? because many apps support original os like 2.2, 2.3... if after i flash it... my os is not android 2.2, etc anymore right?
And just now i factory reset my phone.. now it unable to play Mp4 file.. it say i need to convert to supported format when transfer to phone... it is strange that i never have this error before, although i was transferring the same Mp4 file that i use to play in my phone before.
Flash your phone with Darky's 9.5 link was given by chrisdavesants
It's really easy to do too and plenty of guides are around.
Although it is a Froyo (2.2.1) rom it is far more stable than any Gingerbread rom's
Everything works just as it would on a stock rom.

How about flash? erase the default firmware(original android os?) and install a new one? Right...
Will it cause some hardware failure or unable to use some features like wifi, bluetooth, gps?No or maybe it will enhance it? ! Some enhancements are feasible on custom roms...
After flash... some apps will unable to use right? Didnot experience any apps not working... everything worked...
because many apps support original os like 2.2, 2.3...custom roms are based on official 2.2 or/and 2.3 so they are the same features are just enhanced...
if after i flash it... my os is not android 2.2, etc anymore right? Depends on what you flash... will stay 2.2.1 for froyo or 2.3.3 with ginger
And just now i factory reset my phone.. now it unable to play Mp4 file.. it say i need to convert to supported format when transfer to phone... it is strange that i never have this error before, although i was transferring the same Mp4 file that i use to play in my phone before.

[Q]New to custom OS/ROMs/Bootloaders, looking for guidance

Alright, I am just trying to find out where to start. Like what's the difference in bootloaders, roms, etc. Is a ROM a Kernal? Stuff like that.
I want to basically like take this Captivate back to stock and start from there, problem is, I have no idea how to get there.
On bootup it currently has the Galaxy S screen with a Cyanogenmod so I guessing it is running that.
Pertinent info:
Model: SGH-I897 - AT&T
Android Version: 4.0.1
Kernal: 2.6.35.14-g76142d0
Mod Version: IceCreamHackish-11282011-Captivate
Build Number: ITL41D
Baseband Version: I9000UGJK4 - This doesn't seem right to me (think there might be a problem with the SIM board but not sure)
Recovery/Download Mode brings up CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.2
Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
A ROM is basically all the things that you see on screen that's part of the system, i.e. the user interface and menus and such. The kernel is essentially the software interface to the hardware, and controls the core OS functions. A ROM is going to come with a kernel because nothing can work without one, however they are not the same thing. Nothing is wrong with your baseband, as being on a CM based ROM requires an i9000 modem in order to work properly.

I didn't think these had i9000 modems. :/
They use i9000 based Kernels because they're ported from the i9000 itself.
^if that statement is wrong someone correct me, I'm merely stupid to some things
That being said, anyone that can help me get this thing back to the original software?
Read all the stickies on how to use ODIN, download mode, CWM and what a JIG is. Using ODIN can make your captivate a brick so I suggest you read alot and understand it.

Sarcasm how nice. I wasn't looking for Rogers in particular but if you are going to be picky, I would rather not assume that just because someone put i897 infront of it that it is 100% for AT&T. If you choose to do so, that's your perrogative.

Yeah you can't trust those jerks that post up the stock roms. Stupid model numbers.
If I choose to do so? Lmao. OK. Why don't you just go download the stuff yourself and see? Lazy people these days looking for.handouts I see. I didn't just assume, I have actually used them. Funny enough so have lots of others in the threads. But nope don't take their words for it they are probably lying just so you would do something stupid.

[Q] Rooting and upgrading to Jelly Bean

The mobile is very very slow and very difficult to use because of this. I have seen that I can root the mobile and upgrade it to Jelly Bean, and hopefully my problems will be resolved...
I am just not sure what kind of programme I should download to root it... also I'm very nervous about in what steps I need to go about to upgrading to Jelly Bean and what I need to download and in what order to do this.
I'm not sure what I download to my laptop's desktop and what I need on my mobile itself...
If you could help me with a step by step guide I would be eternally grateful.
Many Many Thanks
Wishing you all Happy Holidays.

Basically what you're doing is flashing the newest GB firmware for your phone using Odin and then rooting it, also using Odin. After that you have access to " recovery mode", from which you simply choose a zip file with your ICS or JB ROM and flash it.
If your phone is normally working now, I suggest you retry. This process is fairly simple, given you follow all the steps.
Edit: wait, looks like you have a Brazilian i9000.
Since you're using a Brazilian I9000B, disregard what i wrote above, most ROMs aren't compatible, read this

Baseband version
I9000BWJV2 <--- there isn't one exactly the same as mine, I don't know which one to chose...
UPDATE:
I went to that page to see if I could ask for the right one for my mobile and ended up on a page that say :
Announcement:
For safety reasons Sammobile has stopped ALL Samsung Series firmwares (for example: S-series: S5260, M-series: M610 and E-series: E1230) untill further notice! Plz do NOT post any request or start any thread asking where to find Samsung Series on Sammobile's firmware section!
TIA

If your build number is the same then it should work.

I live in the UK I'm a bit surprised that I have an Brazilian i9000... I can't read Brazilian
Operating system is Google
on that page http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9000B&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware can I use anyone of those firmwares that has the number 2.3.3?
I was looking at the base version number... that is what I didn't find... sigh
I can download something tonight if I just get the right files to try this again.
If I can flash the mobile with the right firmware,
When I checked About the Mobile this is what it said
Frimware version
2.3.3
Baseband version
I9000BWJV2
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813*[email protected]*#2
Build nr
Gingerbread.xwjvh
That is all the info I have since I can't get into the phone now...
I can't get into recovery mode only Download.
I don't understand where to go from here... can I somehow go back to my original and then get the correct firmware, ROM etc?
I'm very confused. I bought the mobile on the internet so that might explain it...?

[Q] Rooting the S I9000 I need advice!

Right guys
I am getting fed up on trying to root this phone using ODIN and the various CF-ROOTS but every time I do it some of them will just not flash some do flash but then the mobile does the reboot loop!
My mobile details are :
FIRMWARE - 2.3.3
BASEBAND - I9000BWJV2
KERNEL VERSION - [email protected] #2
BUILD NUMBER - GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
I honestly have tried lots of CF-ROOTS using the ODIN process but they just don't seem to work.
If somebody could just point me to the CF i need and the files i would appreciate it so much, it's getting really annoying now
Thanks all appreciate it :victory:

I appreciate you replying, but I would prefer if you could link to me directly in what I need as I have been searching for ages month's now and keep coming back with nothing or the CF'S do not work they come up as an error on ODIN and then i have to reflash my stock rom to get my mobile working again.
with my details above about my phone what CF-ROOT will work?
Thanks

1)u familiar with odin?
2)which pit file u used?
3)tell me in detail what method u use
4)what region are u?
5)do u need to unlock ur sim or phone?
6)what exact are u wanna upgrade?
7)can ur fone go to download mode?
8)is there any code,like can t mount e:/blablabla when u bootloop?
