Hello, guys. This is my first post after lurking for a while, adding roms and getting all of the good stuff for my captivate. But i bumped across the new market. I didn't follow instructions completely and deleted the market. So how should I fix this? I don't want to reflash my phone, because this would take 6 days and I am going on vacation in a few days, and I don't think I will survive without my beloved phone.
Any help on how to download the market app would be much appreciated. I have the android market app v2.12 but it will not let me install through my computer...
Still have the *.apk for the new market? If not you can go to the Themes Forum and do a search there - someone had the *.apk file for the new market app. You can download it - put it on your SDCard and then run it through your file manager - should install and your back in business.
Will need to use the SEARCH feature to find it though as I don't have the link.
Allright, thanks. I hope this works because normally I could not install apps directly to my phone because of at&t but i will try this.
btw.. are you on a stock ROM (2.1) or have you flashed to a custom ROM? Also if your phone isn't rooted this method won't allow you to install the app.
Sorry forgot to mention it.
And uh.. it never takes me 6 days to flash - usually takes me about 15-20 minutes to flash back to stock, install the new ROM, and restore my applications/app data.
It WAS on android 2.2 but I'm not sure if it is anymore because i tried restoring it to factory settings. And I'm talking about sending it to samsung to reflash it, I don't know how to do it myself :/
Oh, and yes. It is rooted.
and the app from there is kind of messed up... Very glitchy (crashes a lot and lags like crazy) and doesn't show every app in searches, like z4root which is how i easily rooted my phone the first time.
So i really just want the old market back but it will just not let me.
Go into Menu -> Settings -> About Phone and look to where it says "Firmware Version". If it says 2.2 and your phone has been rooted it should work fine.
Otherwise... you would at least need to Root it if on 2.2.
And if your not on 2.2? I'm not sure if this will work as I know it was pulled from a 2.2 updated phone.
Ok.. Plan B
You should be able to find the old Market app inside the *.zip file of any ROM you have downloaded. Just make sure they are 2.2 Froyo ROMs
Open up the *.zip file and go into system/app and look for (I'm 99% sure) "MarketUpdater.apk"
Copy that file to your SDCard and install using your file manager - should overwrite everything and hopefully your good.
Also.. you could go to your Menu --> Settings --> Applications and probably uninstall the current Market app you have downloaded first - delete any cache/data under there first before uninstalling.
Hopefully that will throw back on the original market app and your all set.
The only problem with that is... It was this one click downloader thing... Odin3. So I don't know... It also won't let me reupdate it for some reason....
Hrm.. This is from the OTA JH7 zip I have lying around. Give this a try and see if it works.
If not you will need to re-flash back to stock.
Could you supply me with a good rom thats easy to download and has the market and ****, like android 2.2, because the odin crap doesn't work for me.
Hrm.. I'd say go here if you wish to install a custom ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819105
Then a few options you have is Cognition, Auxura, or Assonance.
I've ran all of them and they are all great ROM's. I currently am running Assonance with the Gingerbread theme and it runs great.
Just make sure to do the reading first then download the ROM and you should be on your way.... just remember failure to follow the directions if on you and your warranty is already toast
Its already too late for my warrenty..... But I'll go ahead and try these. Thanks.
Actually. Something that would REALLY help would be helping me get into download mode. Every time i plug my phone into the computer in download mode it says usb device not recognized. How do i fix this? I've tried about every samsung drivers... None of them work... If i could get it into download mode i could get it working easily
Hi there, im new to this forum and Im kind of a novice to flashing and rooting.
Firstly, my device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab Sprint version.
Secondly, when I bought this tab, I got fed up of the stock software so I decided to flash the rom. I researched allot on how to do this. Then I came across a custom rom called Modaco and flashed my galaxy tab using Clockwork Recovery.
Thirdly, I started to experience a particular problem - the AutoRotation broke. Whenever I rotated my tab portrait in a way that the homescreen, back buttons etc are in the normal position, the screen itself will be upside down making it difficult for me use the tablet conveniently.
Next, I started to develop another problem, i wasn't able to boot into recovery mode so i came accross another method to remove the modaco custom rom to install the stock rom. I used ODIN and download mode. This worked but the whole autorotation situation still persisted. I downloaded a file that would attemp fixing the autorotation problem but didnt work so I tried booting into recovery mode using ADB recovery and Clockwork Recovery but whenever it attempts to get there, it then shows me the samsung logo and remains frozen.
Lastly, I have come to a conclusion that I dont want to be using custom roms and I think it has to do with the Kernal. I want my tablet to be as I just bought it, untouched, not flashed etc.
If anyone can provide me with a solution, then I will be extremely greatful. Thanks
Seriously move this to the QUESTION THREADS. You will get more help there.

Hey I've been here already but that SW Update doesnt work. It tells me "Cannot open Binary file" can you tell me why?
See post #34 in that thread posted by cdguider.
download the : New File With Odin, Sprint_P100_Samsung_GALAXY_Tab_USB_Drivers, Installation Instructions
read and follow the .txt file that is included step by step and it will work....
I used it but the first time I was in a hurry and did not read the install txt, didn't work. I opened the imstructions and went step by step the next time and it worked no problems..
hope it works out for you.
I thought I knew what I was doing...
I've read and read and read. Thought I had all my ducks in a row. Thought I had everything figured out. But now I have a bricked phone.
I bought my Captivate refurbished from AT&T about 3 months ago. The mfg date is listed as 1011. It came with Froyo. By the third day I had it rooted and Cognition installed. Loved it. But lately it was starting to freeze up, lag, etc. so I decided to install Serendipity.
I followed the directions in the famous How-To thread here.
Odin reported success, but now my phone is stuck in bootloop. None of the tricks for getting it back into download mode worked.
I went to Radio Shack and bought some resisters and made a jig. Now, I can successfully get back to download mode now, so I'm still holding out hope!
I tried Odin again, but got the same result.
My warranty is up in 3 days. Called warranty place today and they won't do anything unless the phone can get to a recovery screen (probably their way of knowing when people have been doing what I've been doing!). Which it won't. I can put it in download mode with the jig. Otherwise, I just get the boot loop.
I have been stressing over this for the last 15 hours. I can't sleep. I've read countless forum posts. Now I find that Odin with Froyo and phones dated from 1008 and above is tricky. How did I miss that before? I've read so much, seen so many threads with people saying "do this" followed by "no don't do that" followed by "that's always worked for me" but it's not working for ME. At this point I'm confused and scared and just hope somebody can point me to instructions for getting a usable phone again.
EDIT: I see I misspelled "Odin" in the title of the thread... tried to edit it but I can't. Sorry.
That guide has not been updated for 2.3 roms. you should follow the instructions that were written by the rom maker, for the rom your trying to flash
This looks relevant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
- For unbricking
AdamOutler, is working on a unbrick method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206216
Or mobiletechvideos they have an unbricking service for 50$
(side-note if you have read and read like you said you should have had come a cross some of this.)
Which Cognition were u on ? And which Odin did u use ?
And since u can still get into Download mode u can relax a little, cause that's a good thing.
Lol relax If the phone shows any signs of life, that means it can be fix (usually). Now if the phone after odin doesn't want to turn on THEN your bricked. Since your phone is a newer build and they have been known to not always like jf6 Odin I suggest you try this KB1 odin. Best of luck

Know that now! lol The instructions for Serendipity indicated I didn't have to go back to stock. But I just wasn't sure. So I figured I'd go ahead back to stock just to "be safe." That worked out well!

Which Cognition? Uhm... I don't recall. Whatever was the newest version when I installed it nearly 3 months ago.
I used the Odin One-Click. The filename is I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0. When I run it, the title bar says Odin3Execution_v1.0.

Thanks! I'm reading through the threads y'all linked to and I'm sure I'll be back with questions. This whole Odin thing, for one, has me confused. There's at least a dozen different versions available from samfirmware.com, there are different versions of the one-click (like the Designgears 2.2 one? Should I try that one?), then different "full" versions with different instructions ("only use the pda button," "use this pit file", "don't use a pit file", etc...) I'm trying my best to make sense of it all. I was in full-blown panic mode yesterday and trying to read through a dozen different threads at once. Maybe today I can slow down a bit, take a breath, and get this figured out.
The one click I linked should get you to stock. Atleast so you have a funtional phone. There is only one true odin with different versions (1.1 1.82 etc) one clicks r simplified odin that will only flash something specific like 2.1 jf6 or 2.3.3 kf1 to name a few. Samfirmware.com uses the actual odin as it supplies packages for it.

Ok, another sucky thing is I'm on satellite internet and already dangerously close to being FAP'd. I've got to run into town this evening and will try to find some free wifi so I can download those things. Until then... it's just reading threads.
One quick question... that's a one-click you linked to? Posts 33 and 34 say to use regular Odin, not one-click. They provide a link to download regular Odin. Is the I897UCKB1-homeBinary.tar file part of the package I download from the link in the first page? The one-clicks I've downloaded have just been an .exe file.

Because I'm a derp and didn't read it well. Regardless its the package files for stock KB1 use regular ODIN for it. Stick it in PDA. It doesn't have bootloaders so the possibilities of hard bricking are very low xD. My mistake for saying it was 1 click sorry xD
Ok, thanks. I'll post an update tonight after I get back home.
SUCCESS!!!
I now have a fully functional phone running what appears to be stock 2.2 firmware!!
THANK YOU!!!!
However... I can't seem to get into recovery mode. When I hold down all three buttons, it looks like I'm stuck in a boot loop again (ATT World Phone screen flashes). If I release the power button keeping the volume buttons held down, the phone just boots as normal. Is there a fix for this?
I still have all the folders for my old apps on the internal memory card. Can I delete these manually? I'd like it to be back to truly stock settings and start all over. Is that what the "Master Clear" in Odin is for? I didn't see that option in "regular" Odin.
I did get it rooted with Super-One-Click.
Ok, this is where I'm at.
Stock Foyo working phone.
Can't boot into recovery using volume & power buttons.
Rooted with Super One Click.
Installed Superuser.
Installed Rom Manager. At least now I can boot into Recovery Mode through the option in Rom Manager.
Flashed Clockworkmod using Rom Manager. Reported success, but Recovery Mode is still stock version 3e, not 2e. So, still can't install a new custom rom.
I'm a little nervous to try anything else at this point, but really want to be running Serendipity. Serendipity says DO NOT use Rom Manager to install it.
What to do from here? I'm researching, but any pointers would be helpful.
If I install Cognition again from Rom Manager (is that possible/safe at this point?), will that replace the Recovery Mode with 2e? Or is that not related at all?
not related at all.
you should really take the 30 seconds to search for that error you get when you try to reinstall packages from 3e recovery.....it would solve your problems.....
or do it the EASY way and just ODIN a freaking kernel on it that has built in CWM.
flash your rom of choice from CWM

You are in 3e recovery because you are running froyo. Flash to the stock 2.1 eclair and that will get you back to 2e. There are other ways but thats the most basic I feel.

Op look at the bottom of the first post of the odin one click thread by design gears there are 2 stock firmware packages the first one is an eclair build use the full version of odin (not one click) flash that and you're good.
Or search for the work around of 3e recovery, look in the sticky roll up at the to of the general section...it'll say "e: signature verification error"

Yes, I tend to rely to heavily on the search feature and overlook sticky threads. Thanks for the reminder.
The "Fixing 3e" methods listed in this thread don't seem to be working for me. First method (the script) gives me an error. Tried with Win 7 64bit, and 32bit (two different computers). Yes, phone drivers were installed. Second method (manual copying of the file) doesn't work. When using Terminal Emulator to execute the command I get the message "Operation not permitted." When using ES File Explorer with Mount file System as writable checked in the settings, I get no errors or complaints... but nothing has changed when I boot into recovery.
Still working on it. Thanks for the pointers.
why dont you try one of the ODIN KERNELS that will add CWM for you? why are you wasting your time running in circles for nothing?
put phone in download mode
open ODIN, add the kernel into the PDA slot
connect phone
flash kernel
now you have CWM and can flash any 2.2 rom you want

After softbricking (is that the right term?) my phone with Odin, it makes me a little nervous. (Of course, I also recovered my phone with Odin, so maybe I shouldn't be nervous...).
This running around in circles...? We'll call it "education"!
Hello! I have been researching this for a friend and figured I would try good old XDA. Here is the problem, after a forum search only one post had this problem but with no solution.
It is a bone stock 7 inch galaxy tab. It is running froyo and is prompted to download the gingerbread update. After the download, it will boot and start to flash, approx 1/3 of the way, the patching stops, an exclamation point appears then the tab reboots back to Froyo as the update has failed.
Any idea what is causing this? I have booted it into recovery and wiped data/cache and even SD card for good measure. It always does the same thing.
I am savvy with working on Motorola droids, but samsung is new to me. I did reading and found out about Heimdal and Odin. I believe this must be something like RSDlite that I use but am uncertain.
Anyways, how can i get this update to go through? can I retrieve the file after it downloads, change it to "update.zip" and flash it in recovery? The only thing I can think of is having him download the 2.3.5 Stock + root file from this thread. and flashing this in Heimdal.
What seems to be the best possible action here. Thanks

which model of the tab do you have?
OK before anyone flames me I already searched... and searched.... and searched & couldn't find the information I needed. I am only asking for assistance/input from members who are knowledgable on flashing ROMs & Kernals. Unfortunatly XDA is growing at a rate that makes searching almost unbearable.
OK to the reason for the post. I am finally looking to flash my AT&T Samsung Captivate to a custom ROM. No I don't need help flashing, got that covered. I am looking to upgrade to CM9 (Stable). I was also looking at maybe flashing the Devil Kernal also. I had originaly upgraded to ICS from Samsung via kies & rooted my phone. It ran fine with no problems for several months. Sometime a few weeks ago it started to random reboot or crash & reboot for no apparent reason. It finally locked up completly & could only use the 3 button to get it to move. I previously posted trying to get help with that here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957224). The only way I could get it to come back was to go into recovery, do a factory reset & wipe everything. So now I am back to 2.3.5 (2.6.35.7-I897UCkk4-CL614489). Also my phone is currently not rooed as a result of the wipeout. My phone is running like crap now after all that & what I consider fuctioning minimally.
So now the assistance/input portion of the thread. Because of the problems I had prior & the current state of the phone how should I proceed? Because of what I am looking to do with both the ROM & Kernal & being unrooted. Is there some app or PC program I should run to check my phone to make sure its not a hardware issue? Also should I get to a state & flash the kernal first then go to CM9? Do I need to flash the kernal at all? Forum posts are like a spiders web & some say yes, others no. My head feels like it is going to explode!
I am just looking to do this in the best way possible to achieve the best success. I unfortunatly don't have a lot of time to keep flashing ROMs all the time & funds are tight with family so buying a new S3 isn't going to happen either. Im hoping that someone knowledgable with the android system can help me do this right.
Thanks in advanced!

HELP!
OK so I took the plunge & screwed my phone up. I tried piecing info from about 20 different threads & somewhere it went wrong. If anyone actually reads this please take the 2 seconds to help. Another sites members already pissed me off with their "oh a noob" crap. I swear as much crap as people give the i-freaks its seeming more and more that the android community is becoming just as bad.
So here is where I am. I wiped my phone & tried to install CM9 (cm-9.1.0-captivatemtd). I installed it on the SD card via my pc/USB, booted into recovery, tried to install & got error. So I tried again using speedmod kernal (speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz) & got same results. The I flashed the corn kernal (CornKernel_UCKK4_v705) & made 100% sure was rooted, tried again, error. So I read yet ANOTHER thread that said to flash ICS CM9 you need a compatible kernal. So I flashed Devil (Devil3_1.1.3_ICS_cappy_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120807). There were actually 2 & ZERO info as to which of the 2 you were supposed to use. Well after I flashed it I got stuck on a boot loop & could not get into recovery after that. So I tried flashing back to Corn, now I am just stuck at the boot screen. I can though boot into recovery still.
So now I have no idea what to do. I have spent my whole day trying to get this done. I tried & I failed. Apprently easy for some, not for others. Someone please help me!
When u first flash the CM9 Rom it should reboot into the CM9's recovery within a few seconds. Then from that recovery just select install the CM9 Rom and it will do the full install of that rom. Should be good after that.
And what error are u getting when u have tried the install and it failed ??

Thank the gods I got a response! First off thank you 4-2ndtwin for even taking the time.
OK so I am still on the Corn Kernal which uses "SystemsCorps CwM- Based Recovery v5.1.0.7". Using the 3 button I selected I did the following
- Install zip from SD card
- Choose zip from SD card
- selected "cm-9.1.0-captivatemtd.zip
- selected yes "Install cm-9.1.0-captivatemtd.zip"
Then it says finding updates.... then opening updates...
The error flashes on the screen so quick I cant even read it before it goes back to the select location for zip. I did it several times and I did see something that said "E:Can't open sd card...." , "bad!". I had to do it like 20 times to get that much from it.
I am lost. I have been looking high and low & cant seem to figure this out.
If you can't help no worries. I am starting to price out new phones but really dont want to. But if you can that would be awesome!
R u copying the rom onto ur internal sd card and not the removable sdcard ?
Maybe a bad download of the Rom...Try fresh download or even a different Rom.
Have u ever seen the "Encryption Unsuccessful" error on ur phone ?? -- it is the cause/result of the internal sdcard gettin messed up. But people with that error are able to flash Roms from their external sd.

i installed it via usb/pc to the main sd, dont have a removable installed. its in the same spot as the "update.zip" is located from the ota/kies upgrade. I checked and apparently I am dislexic. the file size was wrong. I cant get my phone to boot anymore though. gets stuck on the corn start up & never goes past it. I tried using the odin3 one click & now my phone no matter what I do says "firmware upgrade failed" "try using recovery mode". so now I cant do anything.

*** Update ***
I finally got the Odin3 one click to work. I am now back to 2.1-update1, kernal is 2.6.29 [email protected] #2.
So I moved the CM9 zip file and verified 3 times the file size is correct.
So now do I just flash the kernal & then install from recovery or do I need to update to 2.3?
Im learning as I go, but damn its a painfull process! LOL

The error flashes on the screen so quick I cant even read it before it goes back to the select location for zip. I did it several times and I did see something that said "E:Can't open sd card...." , "bad!". I had to do it like 20 times to get that much from it.
I am lost. I have been looking high and low & cant seem to figure this out.
If you can't help no worries. I am starting to price out new phones but really dont want to. But if you can that would be awesome!

This problem is solved simply by booting into recovery and flashing the zip a second time.
You can flash from 2.1, but I recommend you be on Gingerbread bootloaders.
Well I am on the 2nd update & then should hopefully be able to try it all again. After this update I am going to flash the new kernal, root & then try the update again.... hopefully!
