Just a quick question....just wondering, im running the geomod rom right now and was just wondering if it is recommended to flash back to stock using odin before i flash to the latest cognition....or can i just flash cognition right from the rom im running???
Thanks in advance!
Definately. If you don't "something" gets left behind as, for sure, the startup gt i9000 logo at startup will still be there. At least, it was when I did it anyway.

i notice lots of posts like this, and i wonder, 'in the time it takes to get an answer back from the forums, you could have already flashed back to stock and reflashed your phone with another rom.' why bother asking?

Especially considering the question gets asked so often that surely it shows up in a quick search... which would save even more time..

it has NOTHING to do with i9000 or captivate roms, or even not wanting to answer the question...its called common sense, some people have it, and obviously some people dont. i question peoples common sense all the time and notice that as time goes on, people use less and less of it.

Just wondering if you have any done any quick searches. I have used the search function many many times and often found that even though the questions might have been answered before, they do not show up in the search. It's not like this question is posted on the Captivate Android Development section. It is posted in the right section so why ***** about it?
As to the OP, I wouldn't know since I haven't flashed a i9000 rom yet but if you have any problems, you know that you should go back to stock and flash cog.

And i thought the iphone users were the ****in ass holes....a lot of times the general quick search doesent come up with exactly what im looking for...and with these phones you have to be precise with what your doing...thats what the Q&A forums are for....and if it concerns you that much just exit out of it dont post gay ass comments
Preach it brother! It has been verry frustrating getting info on any androis phone. It seems that the devloupers live in their on little world and are to good to help out someone who needs info.
I do have to chime in here and say that this is actually could have been answered with commone sense. i9000 is for the european community. So with that said always flash back to a stock condition when going either way from i897 to i9000 or i9000 to i897. Once on that base rom then you can choose to flash either back to stock or just flash over provided you are going to the same based rom
However I can say that even though this may not have been asked exactly before there are more then likely references to what to do in this instance in many of the threads. Again it also sometimes helps to think outside the box when doing a search as well.

do you feel guilty not having any common sense?
congratulations, you have joined the majority of society.
seriously, though. go to ANY friggin ROM thread on these forums and the recommended way to flash is always FLASH BACK TO STOCK!!!! how hard is that? where did you get your rom? did it magically show up on your phone or did you download it from somewhere and follow some instruction on how to install it?
i know that in your anger, you will refuse to understand this point of view, and thats fine. the info is there for semi-sane people to comprehend.
Hey guys.
I am a Captivate owner and am EXTREMELY fed up with both the delay of the Froyo update AND the lag problems with the Captivate firmware. The phone has so much horsepower and great specs, but right now it is being under utilized. I have done my research, watched a bunch of videos and am literally teetering on the edge of ROOTing my phone and flashing the new Cognition 3.02 ROM (which seems to be stable, speedy, and everything else I wish my stock firmware was). I think I know all the details, and have taken lots of notes on the process, but I think the one last thing I'd really like to do before taking the dive is to talk to someone who has flashed the Cognition ROM, one-on-one in a live manner through ICQ, Skype, AIM, or whathaveyou, just to have my remaining questions and concerns resolved.
So, if there is anyone out there who is willing to take the time to chat with me some night this week and just make sure I get everything in my mind squared away, I would greatly appreciate it.
Direct message or reply to this post if you'd like to help out, and we can go from there discussing a time, day, and method for executing this chat. Thanks a million--I want to be a ROOTer so bad, I'm still just a little nervous.
And thanks to DG for creating such an (apparently) stable, reliable, and featured-filled ROM.
What the hell does this have to do with development? Take it to the right section and learn to respect rules and directions first.

Wow, way to be rude.
Clearly my first post on XDA. This is where everyone is talking about all the ROMs, and that si what my question is about. Sorry if I disrespected the rules or whatever, but there is a less stuck-up-geek-jerk way to tell me that.

Does anyone know where to find info on rooting/flashing the SGH-i847, or even opinions reviews?
Thanks to this site I have a good handle now on flashing, odin, modems, bootloaders etc. Recently had to but a jig due to some flashing that didn't work so well.........
My wife now wants my cappy and I am thinking of getting the at&t rugby smart. I really like the foot print but know I'll want to flash it to get the at&t crap off of it. I guess I could go into the store and pop on my jig?

This is the Captivate section, questions on other phones belong in their phone section.
I recently rooted my HTC vivid and I'm wanting to try other ROMs that are easy to install and that are stable mainly I'm wanting a sense ROM 4.0 and up any help would be helpful.

I'm not trying to sound rude, but seriously, if you spent the time it took you to post this, to look around this forum you probably would have found the answer to your question.

What is with the hostility and the crazy rules on these boards? I get he kind of asked a newb question, but on the other hand, there are so many bad ROMs, outdated and buggy, and so on. I don't see competition as a bad thing. Just the other day, I flashed away a perfectly good ROM on my HTC One XL to try the new ViperXL, just to find out it was buggy and had restrictions that I HATED. I would have loved to been able to ask someone for some advice and opinion to know before I tried it. Trial and error is not for everyone, ESPECIALLY new people with many questions and little knowledge.
I myself have a friend on my phone plan using my old Vivid and would like some guidance on ROMs. Apparently, there are no newer and functional sense ROMs and all the AOSP ROMs have complaints about volume issues and so on. I experience bad issues on CM with mine/his previous HTC Inspire and I don't want to find out the hard way, so it would be nice to hear opinions on the stability, speed, and functionality of all the AOSP ROMs without having to flash them all and find out I would have been better off stock.
Just saying. I don't want to be ridiculed for these questions, and nobody else should be either. Maybe there can be a special area of the forums for newbs where patient people can choose to help them specifically.

OK...
If you read the q&a section... Its full of people that can't read...
If you flash ROMs without reading... You'll be using the RUU to fix it...
I personally am tired of jackasses just flashing away and having no freaking clue what they are doing then coming on here and demanding answers...
If you can freakin read... All... YES ALL... The answers are in these forums...
And STOP DEFENDING STUPIDITY...
Read before you flash

Hence why the only ROM I have flashed was cm10.1 I am having in call volume issues and why I took to posting my first question and then this one. I am looking for a rom with at least sense 4.1 and jellybean with proper call volumes and working lte. I don't understand the hostilities I am sorry I do read the post but I don't have the money to replace my phone if I brick it or it becomes unresponsive or bricks and the only way some can truly learn is to read and then talk and ask questions to those who knows what they are doing

It is very hard to brick your phone anymore... As long as you keep partitions straight...
If the ROM was poison... It would be removed...

Even so I'm sure you would agree you wouldn't want to even risk the chance of doing so at all.

NO jelly bean build will have in call volume fixed. look in the development thread for sense 4.1 roms There is only one in there and one posted in the vivid general section. Everyone stop arguing and go about your business

If that were the case... I'd still have sense 3.6 on here...
I'm a bad example... I'll flash anything as long as I have the RUU handy...
I am quite surprised that this phone isn't in Qualcomm download mode

It took me almost a year and a half to get the courage to root my phone.

you know everyone has asked questions at one point or another and that goes for devs as well, if not then they wouldn't be devs period,they would , just sit back and wait for someone else to create roms for htc vivid,htc amaze,samsung, etc,so please give the guy a break
I'm new to using these roms also and quite frankly agree with the OP in asking.
Some of the threads are messed up and crazy that just simply asking for ppls opinions as a whole is better with having civil and constructive answers.
But good to see that there are keyboard warriors in these forums as well.

I took to rooting/flashing a little different. My Vivid was my first smartphone ever (2nd phone period), but I had it unlocked, s-off'd, flashed a recovery and was running a custom ROM within 1 hour of un-packaging it. This was before any toolkit existed. I took a chance and learned by doing things. Over the last 2yrs I've read more on this forum than any normal person should, and yet still when I have a question, I either read some more or just say to hell with it and go for it and find out for myself. Modern phones are near impossible to brick but I will admit that although I never had to use it, the first thing I downloaded was the stock RUU. Always have a fallback and just bite the bullet. If you don't like the ROM, let the dev know your issues or research a new one. But most importantly, have fun with it! :good:
Hi, quick question and topic.
I've overcame a ton of comments primarily from last years release of the Samsung G730A S III Mini model claiming root to no root outcomes.
Is the community for devs still trying to open a port or a guide for a successful G730A root?
I ask this as I see that we were the only form of outcasted Mini users.
If that be said, what are the chances that KitKat could make for an easier root process?
Also, anyone know if a kdz flash is possible for this device?
I ask this after my first Android :sly: Thrill 4G was one of the outcasted phone that finally got a root with a kdz flash, the Thrill forum lost all support and anyone interested in new roms had to stay on a EU dedicated kdz that was promised a developer and rom set.
Basically stating that all users were stuck on an EU Baseband with 3G and sometimes 4G LTE if the rom provided even that.

Bumping!
I'm not gonna watch a phone die out because people won't go out of their way to help the G730A community!
There's someone hiding in the dark and not giving answers.
Now we just sit here and watch others gloat and boast about their root? Whenever someone even mentions G730A in a thread the thread just dies out of communication.

Yeah... like seriously! I got the phone when it came out in sept 2013 and been waiting ever since. I voided my warranty by letting an idiot friend drop my phone, with physical damage to the bezel of the phone, I can now root it and do whatever I want. I'm still waiting. But to be honest, I'd rather have the s4 for the bigger screen. But until then I am waiting for kitkat.
