So I was on a froyo rom and flashed to a gb. All was working well for a week. I ran into an issue and flashed (Odin3 one click 1.7) back to my previous froyo set=up. The gb rom I was using has been fixed and I want to go back to it again. Is it ok just to cwm the gb rom or do I need to go through the whole process of flashing bootloaders etc...
odin one click flashes eclair/froyo bootloaders. yes you will have to flash gingerbread bootloaders again. don't be afraid, how many times have you used odin one click? that has the exact same risk involved when flashing to gingerbread. repeat flashing gingerbread bootloaders is the exact same risk as odin one click.

Hmmm interesting, I thought you couldn't do it ONLY if you used full Odin.
For future reference, you can go back to froyo/eclair roms and still use the gb bootloaders. They are backward compatible. If you want to flash jf6 just to start from stock, cezar has a safer method for Odin. It flashes JF6 rom, but not the bootloaders. You can find it in Development, it has its own thread and he's also put it in the op for Continuum v5.
There is one draw back. You can't flash Cognition or you'll brick your phone. Cog uses a secondary bootloader.
I'm having a bit of trouble with Odin one-click. Last night I decided to upgrade from Perception 10.4 (Froyo based) to Perception 2b3 (Gingerbread based). I plugged it in, put it into download mode, and activated Odin. It ran just fine, but at the end, my phone rebooted into a boot loop. I ended up putting together a jig to get it back into download mode, and tried again. Same thing happened. I eventually ended up using a Froyo Odin to qwerty least get it working again. Does anyone have any ideas as to why Gingerbread Odin soft bricks my phone, and what I should do to fix it? Let me know if you need any more details. Thanks in advance.
I know this would do better in the odin thread, but I don't have enough posts to post there, mending the fact that I've been lurking around for close to a year
Guess I'll just keep posting here until a) someone responds or b) I have enough posts to ask in the proper thread
I'd ready like to be able to get my cappy running Gingerbread tonight. Anyone have any ideas?
What one click are you taking about? Is it this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
If it is, this will take you to stock eclair. Not sure what ur talking about with one click froyo. There is a one click GB from Design Gears in the development section. It flashes the newest release of GB stock. If you can get into dl mode you can flash either of the one click odins, but read about both before you do. Bootloaders are involved, and if you don't know about them they can be trouble. Read in development section.
This is a link to one click for GB stock. CONTAINS BOOTLOADERS.

Sorry, for some reason can't get that second link to work properly. Doing this from my phone. Just type in the url. If you decide to flash this GB oneclick, you'll be on the kf1 "official" release. Check dev section and you can flash beta cognition if you want. People are having great results with this rom, including myself. Good luck.

I recommend flashing the KF1 odin one-click. I just flashed that one, and it worked like a champ. Its in the Continuum v6 thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136128. If you read the instructions it will work flawlessly. The only odin problems I've ran into have been user induced.
Okay, I'll try out that KF1. All I really need it for is to get the bootloaders so I can install other 2.3 roms. Will this work for that?
The Froyo Odin I was tackling about was just an older version, I think.
Edit: Why is it so much more difficult to go from 2.2 to 2.3 than it was going from 2.1 to 2.2? Upgrading to 2.2, I just had to use CWM to flash the new rom onto the phone.
Okay, I was trying to follow the instructions in the Continuum thread, and it looks like I am supposed to go back to Eclair before flashing Continuum. I was using this one-click Odin, and it was causing my phone to softbrick. No idea why. Will I be able to use that KF1 Odin to get to Gingerbread, then flash other GB based roms?
And by the trouble caused by bootloaders, you just mean how it will hardbrick if it loses connection in the middle of flashing, right? Or is there more. I've been switching out roms on phones for a while now, but it hasn't been this complex before...
If you mix bootloaders, you will hard brick ur phone. 2.1/2.2 roms have the same bootloaders. GB boots are different. That's why there is more involved to flash GB roms. Basically all the GB roms are I9000 based roms. The kf1 is an i897 based stock rom. If you flash kf1 stock rom, you will lose cwm. You can try cog beta 2 rom if you would like. After following steps to flash GB bootloaders with link mentioned above, check dev section. There are currently 2 kf1 custom roms. I use the cog beta 2, and it works great. people have mentioned that they have flashed i9000 roms over kf1, but I personally haven't, cuz so far cog beta is working great and the call quality is outstanding compared to any of the i9000 roms. Read read read read, before taking any steps. You don't want to ruin it phone! If you want to flash i9000 based GB, read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045734
Btw, what build is ur phone? (4 digit number under battery). Some builds, especially 1010 have trouble with oneclick.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
So it sounds like what I need to do is use that KF1 Odin, then I can flash other roms over that? How can I tell which custom roms are KF1? Is Perception KF1 based? What would you recommend I read to make sure I'm doing it right? Are there specific threads that are especially helpful for this? Thanks for all of the help, I'd really like to learn how to do this.
It'll say in the title. Liked I said, currently there are only two kf1 based roms. Cog beta and another one that I can't remember the name of. If it says something in the title besides kf1/or i897, it's for i9000. Ex/ jvh, jvo, jvp are all i9000 based.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
What do I need to do if I want to use a non-KF1 based GB rom? I've been very happy with Perception, and I'd like to keep using it.
If you want to flash GB stock that is based off of I9000 read and follow this, step by step:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045734
After you do this you can flash GB roms via cwm.
If you want to flash GB with kf1, you can, and people have been running I9000 based custom roms on the same bootloaders. JUST MAKE SURE YOU CHECK ANY ROM YOU'RE FLASHING TO SEE IF IT INCLUDES BOOTLOADERS. I personally haven't run any I9000 roms after flashing kf1, but I believe if you want to do this, (NOT POSITIVE ABOUT THIS, SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO RESEARCH THIS FIRST) you would have to flash an appropriate I9000 kernel using odin (not oneclick, but the full version). Put the kernel in the PDA slot, uncheck repartition, and auto reboot and flash. That way you will get cwm 2 or3 back which will enable you to flash the rom you want. (Remember, with stock KF1 you lose cwm). After kernel flashes, boot ONLY into recovery, and flash rom that you put on your SD card before doing any of this, and flash via cwm. AGAIN, NOT POSITIVE THIS IS WHAT YOU DO, SO RESEARCH.
That makes a lot more sense than the instructions I was trying to follow. I'll try that in a bit.
It worked! Thanks for all of your help
What did you end up doing? GB I9000 stock, or kf1 then flash I9000 custom rom over it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I used the I9000 GB stock rom from that link you posted, then flashed a custom rom over it. I ended up using Perception 2 beta.
Glad it worked for you.

I'm planning on going from JVS to KH3 or KI2 but really don't feel like ODIN'ing back to stock. I know issues could arise if I just flash the i897 Rom over JVS due to bootloaders.
Any way to do this and get the Captivate GB bootloader without wiping with ODIN?
The only confirmed issue I've seen is that the I897 GB Bootloaders break the I9000 Music player. You should be fine just flashing whatever ROM with your current Bootloaders just do the typical clearings/wipes. Might have issues with the music player but that's easily fixed.
I did the same thing you're hoping to do, but all I did was ODIN the I897 BLs. No back to stock, nothing, just the BLs. I did it with the Pinnacle or Apex flasher package (can't remember which one right now). Worked like a charm.
This is Just the I897 GB bootloaders

Fix you flash the BL prior to the new ROM or after?
Thanks for the replies!
I don't think my phone gets along with JVS so well...
Either way is fine, before or after.

Agree with studacris—order doesn't matter. My experience was flashing the I897 BLs while still on Apex, then waited for the Pinnacle 1.3 update and flashed the ROM.
I have been on Serendiptiy with my I897 for over a year. Now with ICS coming out, I was wonder where do I go now? Serendiptiy VII is no longer update and I am hesitate to go to ICS if its not as staple as VII has been.
Open to suggestions as a I continue to read more posts on ICS.
Thanks MikeyMike01 for a wonderful ROM!!!

I've been using Mike's rom for months before but after he left the Captivate scene and not updating his rom, I've switched to many different roms. Now I'm using Teamhacksung's ICS and it's stable for me so far, no problems, issues and whatnot. You could give it a shot or if you don't want to go with ICS, try Gingerbread roms instead.
Where you go from here is up to you..and if you don't like where you go it's not permanent, so try a few or all of them til you find something you like.
ICS bound
Serendipity VII is a GB rom. I want to go to ICS so I think I will give it a try. Just wonder is it easy to get back to a GB rom from ICS without going back to factory eclair?

What I do if I wanna go back to Gingerbread roms is always flash back to JF6 which an Eclair rom and then start from there. Not sure if it's possible not to flash back to stock for downgrading.

I have Stock ATT on a flash drive for just such occasions. I had to flash back to stock once before so I know I can get back to the beginning. Just not sure what ICS is going to give me that I don't have now. I am still reading the 500+ posts in the thread.

Or heimdall... We got one-clicks of that too. You'll need something PC based because only CM based ROMs repartition in CWM.

TiBu is my personal fav.
UPDATE... Again, thanks BWolf56!
AT&T Captivate on FROYO 2.2. OneClickRoot, CWM Recovery V2.5.1.2
Did ROM backup, TiBu backup, EFS, APN, Contacts etc
Installed/Flashed:
ROM X-Bean1.1 base.zip
gapps-jb-2012101-signed.zip
Semaphore_jb_2.0.3c.zip
landscape_fix.zip
Phone booted up fine initially, would always revert to landscape view, back button was now the home button.
Could not find any of my backups. "UI" kept crapping out; "Unfortunately UI is not responding" Think that's what it said!
Had to click OK and it was back until i touched anything and kept happening...
Did Advanced Restore -> CWM Recovery of: System, Data, Cache, ext/sd
Phone rebooted.... Stuck on AT&T logo screen, charging pinwheel shows but doesn't move.
Cannot get into recovery.. managed to get into "dowload mode"
tried i897UCJF6-final-OCD-REVO.zip loaded on computer, phone connected in download mode,
loaded PIT file only as the zip had no PAD file....... NO SUCCESS
If I proceeded in a NOOB fashion, it's because I am so I'll take my licks Lol
Any help would be appreciated!
Figured it best to just get back to stock 2.2, maybe even earlier since I wouldn't have the 3e recovery
problem not being able to install from OTHER sources. Then TRY again after brushing up!!!!!!!!

Did you flash a I9000 ROM? If so, you need the I9000 bootloaders.
Also to downgrade android version, you have to use Odin (i suggest kk4 without bootloaders if you already have the gb ones, which can be found in the stickies).
Make sure you follow the full instructions next time to avoid issues like that.

Ahhh, fello Canadian i see!
You may be correct thinking i have I9000 "JB"? bootloaders!, in the original
thread : Aceofspades replied to a member question stating: "Port means that this
rom is originally made for i9000 and made it to work for captivate."
Should I assume I've flashed an I9000 Rom? and now have JB bootloader?
Thinking back, I did not wipe before going back and using recovery! Not sure that was the problem
but it was on reboot after restoring CWM/system. data. cache etc that the phone rebooted and ended up
in a continual cycling of the ATT logo screen!
Big question now is how do I do to remedy my situation!!
NOTE...I have made a JIG and can get into "download Mode" now
From this point on I'll document my every move in order to be able to provide
the exact procedure I went through... might be more helpful !!
I know I know... NOOB! Lol
PS, is an alternative to use Kies Mini and update to Gingerbread?

First thing: don't use kies at all!
There are no JB bootloaders for the cappy, just eclair, froyo and GB. If the ROM is a port, you'll most likely have to flash the I9000 gb bootloaders but I'd suggest finding another ROM to start with (like CM). Playing with bootloaders is the only thing that will make your phone a paper weight if something goes wrong.
Also, bootloaders aren't included in roms for safety measures. That being said, you can run ICS and JB roms just fine with the GB bootloaders.
As for what comes next. Perhaps use Odin to flash stock kk4 without bootloaders, from there flash corn kernel (once again with Odin) and give CM a whirl following their full flashing instructions. (Which can be found both in their thread and website)

KK4 is a one click Odin.
From there, you'll have to use Odin 1.85 or 1.87 to flash Corn kernel to be able to flash your way up to CM.

Hey there!
* 4-2ndtwin chimed in and said he would post when he uploaded them.
Been looking in the meantime.
* I have both Odin versions, now understand that I can use Odin to flash any file I choose, such as the Corn kernal, not just files it may come with.
* I downloaded a "Stocki897uckk4-zImage.tar, unzipping shows "zImage" file but I
haven't touched it.
Just hanging in for a working link for the Odin KK4 One-Click I guess...
Question!!!
For clarification..Odin KK4 One-Click is just bootloaders, kernal and maybe modem, right? It's not going to give me a working ROM...OR, is it ALSO an alternative way to flash a ROM when I can't add a ROM zip to my phone thru my PC to flash?
Lol... I'll get a handle on this, more of a visual type

Still browsing ROMS...
Should I be bothered rooting yet? Not sure if I'll just have to do it again after a ROM switch?
Any suggestions for a root utility?

I suggest you start with CM.
As for rooting, you can get it directly on the store now (was recently made legal). I believe it's by chainfire. But do you need it atm?
Also, all custom roms come pre-rooted.
