I am coming from Gingerbread. What should I do now?
EDIT: Since I can't get back into recovery, I'm guessing I need to OneTouch this? I could really, really, use some help right now.
I would suggest holding Vol+/Vol-/Power until you reboot into recovery, doing the "wipe data/user reset" option, then re-flashing the rom.
That usually fixes it for me when I get a bad first flash to a new rom.
That doesn't work.
If you don't have access to CWM recovery, you could also try flashing another kernel that comes in a .tar format for ICS roms (e.g. Semaphore ICS) via Heimdall.
If that still doesn't work, I would suggest flashing back to a stock ROM and trying again.

I wouldn't know how to do any of that.
I would then strongly suggest that you flash back to a stock Rom.
The easiest way to do this is to go in the Development section and look for the "Stock Roms and one-clicks collection" sticky.
Inside of there, find a one-click ROM for Gingerbread and download it.
A few things to consider:
1. If you were previously on Gingerbread, get a Gingerbread-based one-click WITHOUT bootloaders.
2. If you were not previously on Gingerbread, get either an Eclair- or Froyo-based one-click WITHOUT bootloaders -or- a Gingerbread-based one-click WITH bootloaders.
Once you have downloaded the file, just run it - it should be pretty self-explanatory. You'll need to have your phone in download mode (power off, hold V+/V- and insert USB cable) to flash back to stock.

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?
So, just switched out my captivate because my warranty was still in effect. Rooted etc etc. But I remember installing CWM with rom manager to begin flashing my first rom back in the day.
But anywho, I have installed ROM Manager, clicked to flash CWM but when I go into recovery (vol + - & Power) All I get is the samsung one. (Blue text) and I only have the options to reboot, install packages, clear cache or wipe sd card.
Can anyone offer any advice?
^ Try reinstall packages. U may have to do it twice.
Gotta install the update.zip with install packages but you have signed bootloaders if you're on stock froyo. Odin to 2.1 and install cwm from there. You can find the update.zip for cwm on the cappy forums and just put that on the root of your internal memory to avoid using rom manager. Don't even have to root to flash.

Hmmmm do you have the stock odin pit file/pda or is the old school odin where you couldnt even do that shoot you right back to 2.1?
^ If u want to go back to Stock Eclair...use the first link in my signature below.
I typically use Odin jf6 one click rev0 from designgears. Its still on the forums I believe but might be dead link. Just make sure it has the pbl and sbl. If you are worried I can upload the one I have used for the past 9 months without fail( but ffailure is always possible, just be sure to follow directions and you should be alright. ) alternatively there is a guide to get to stock jh7 on the forums using the Odin that you have to manually select files for. Should be an easy search. I believe people consider this safer for the newer builds but I used oneclick on my 1010 tons of times and have used it once on my 1012 no problems.
Sorry for the long post hope I helped

You all have helped. Thank you so much. Running MiUi again and still loving it.
This is how the story goes, bear with me.
I had an ATT Captivate 1012 running on S7 but it was rebooting on me during phone calls. I decided to go back to stock with odin oneclick as I had read it works with 1012s but the process hung. I managed to recover and flashed back to stock JH2 with the non-one-click version.
I followed this guide by Breakin' Ranh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
I had used it successfully to get to stock before many times.
This is where I think I screwed up, please correct me if im wrong.
I thought that taking me back to JH2 would restore my bootloaders and allow me to install the 3buttonFix.zip via CWM over stock JH2, but after installing that zip my phone didnt boot up since.
The 3ButtonFix.zip I used was from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134443 . Via CWM, not Odin.
My battery was not at 100% (checked with a friend's phone and it was at about 24% so I'm not sure if that was the issue.
The question is, wouldnt have flashing to JH2 wipe out the bootloaders S7 installed (i9000 GB loaders if im correct)
I can only think of few things and would appreciate, if possible, your thoughts about these, all in an effort to learn more about the process and to reduce my chances of hardbricking again (Got a new captivate, 1010 this time)
1) JH2 bootloaders are clearly not compatible with that 3ButtonFix.zip because it perhaps assumes an underlying JF6 base? I was on JH2 when i flashed the 3ButtonFix.zip linked above
For future reference, should i then go JH2->JH7
This is the JH7 i have used before the 'accident'
(it is linked in the thread above)
I897UCJH7 Firmware
http://www.ponack.net/designgears/JH7_OTA.zip
2) The JH2 .tar provided in that thread did not /*correctly*/ install all? captivate bootloaders?
3) The flash to stock with the above guide didnt clear out my bootloaders successfully. The first time i tried to flash with odin oneclick it failed so i had to start over with the non-oneclick, that's how i managed to successfully get into JH2.
4) Perhaps flashing with a low battery (30% or so) ruined the install of 3buttonFix.zip?
Maybe I botched my flash via odin only to ruin it further with 3buttonFix.zip via CWM.
Would you recommend heimdall for all my (new) flashing endeavours? I _reaally_ don't want to go through the jtagging/phone replacement experience again.
Would have flashing the Odin version of 3buttonFix have prevented this? or maybe using heimdall to get back to stock?
What do you recommend i do to avoid these problems in the future? Stay away from 3ButtonFix.zip and just use a usb jig (finally got one *AFTER* hardbricking).
TL;DR
I read on the forums that people have bricked by ruining their sbl.bin by coming from a gb bootloader. But I was under the impression (apparently incorrect) that flashing to stock (Any stock froyo/eclair?) would prevent such issues. What do you think went wrong?
Sorry for the 20 questions :|
Thanks!

That package you flashed did not contain bootloaders at all... you mixed a gingerbread pbl with a froyo sbl.
Did you even try the button combos BEFORE you flashed the fix? You shouldn't have needed it at all...
Just forget that the 3 button "fix" even exists.

Thank you for your reply studacris.
So the I897UCJH2.tar package I linked to does not contain bootloaders? If so this makes muuuuch more sense now. Should I find a package that contains those "stock" bootloaders to restore the phone into a stock state then ?
Will the packages linked at the bottom of this thread work then?

Do you have any ideas how that one is different from the I897UCJH2.tar I flashed following Breakin' Rahn's. If you follow the link you will see they link to the same files I had used during my first hardbrick.
Reading some more I stumbled upon your old reply,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13581072&postcount=1798
So, If i get this right and to reiterate
For 1010s to get back to stock+bootloaders
1) OneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989)
OR
Use the internal betas "I897UCJH2 (Internal BETA)" linked at the bottom of the same thread ??
2) Do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
If you run into a bootloop
OR this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963403
?
I hope you understand how I can be a bit confused here.
I had no luck previously with OneClick on my 1012. Maybe the 1010 is different but i doubt it. The process hung at some point and had to start over with Breakin'Rahn's guide. Finally got to stock by perhaps without bootloaders.
---
As for the combos, when on s7 the combos worked. Volume down+power worked as expected for dl mode volume up + power for recovery. Upon flashing the new package I lost them leading me to assume incorrectly I was at a new factory mode.
The power down, remove battery, hold power, put battery, plug usb did not work either when on JH2. Of course, me being new at this I might have missed something.
only odin one click has both stock bootloaders... so IF you wan tot restore stock boots that is the FIRST step. if after that you get stuck in a bootloop you can use any other stock package to fix that.
if you want to flash back to stock firmware but KEEP the gingerbread boots (THEY ARE BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE) just flash another stock package other than one click. that way you should never lose button combos.
and as i said before. delete that 3 button fix from your brain completley.

BUT, Im on a 1010 and the vol up + vol down and power buttons wont get me into recovery.
What method should I use to get into recovery?
If you have the gingerbread bootloaders the combo will work. The combo is in the secondary bootloader...
Hi guys. Recently I bought a used I896 with I897UCKF1 2.3.3 firmware. I cannot root it or upgrade it to ICS cos I have a problem: when I press vol down button plus power button to enter download mode the phone boots normally. When I press vol up plus power button instead of recovery mode my phone enters "Android system recovery <3e>". Any advice what to do?
The combination for recovery is vol up/down+power. You will need to flash a kernel with ClockworkMod recovery baked in.
Why didn't you also tell him the proper dl mode combo?
Anyway... Its both volume buttons only, no power at all, and inserting a USB cable that boots into download mode.

Can you recommend me a kernel with cwm recovery? In my Samsung recovery menu 3e I do not have "install zip from sd card" option. Or may I use Rom Manager Premium to install ICS .zip rom?
If you are on Gingerbread and an i897 rom (KF1 would meet that requirement), you can flash boog's kernel, which will have CWM baked in.
You'll need to use something like Odin or Heimdall to get there, which boog includes in the files listed above.
The other option is to flash a stock rom with a CWM kernel included, like the one in my signature.
I'm on UCKK4 - 2.3.5. Is it ok to flash that kernel? And I ask you guys who have ICS on your Cappy is it worth to install it now or should I wait for more stable versions?
You should be able to use Boog's kernel. If you want to be 100% sure of a match, you can try corn kernel KK4.
ICS is pretty great, but be aware there is a risk (although small) of the internal SD card being messed up. Look for "Encryption Unsuccessful" in the development forum - if you flash ICS, just know what to do if that situation happens.
Hmm, you made think about it. I'm not so sure anymore about ICS. I think it's better waiting for a while. I also have a i9000 and installed ICS on it and there was a problem with external sd.
Finally I installed a 4.0.3 rom and I have to admit it was a mistake. Now I'm looking forward to get back to UCKK4 2.3.5 but I don't really know how to do it. On my internal memory I have the backup of the 2.3.5 version made before getting to 4.0.3 and I tried to restore it from the recovery menu but it doesn't work. I think I'm missing something. Can you help me? Thankx.

You'll need to flash back to the 2.3.5 rom you had before flashing to ICS (whatever rom you were using when you made the backup), then restore the backup in recovery.

Grab an Odin or Heimdall one-click to get back to stock KK4, and flash that. Once you've flashed back to stock KK4, if you were using any custom rom (anything non-stock), flash that to your phone. (The idea is to be as close to your previous setup as you can be.)
Once you've done those steps, reboot into recovery and go to "backup/restore". In the restore options, look for the backup you made and restore it.

Ok, if you say so, I'll try it. It crossed my mind to give ICS the second chance but I didn't know exactly what rom to try. I supose I need to do a wipe cache from recovery mode and after this I have to use the option install from sd card? Am I right?

I'm not sure what that file is - it may be fine, but I don't want to say "flash away!" and leave you with a messed up phone.
I would suggest going here and grabbing the non-bootloader Odin one-click (assuming one-clicks have worked for you in the past). Flash that, and you should be good to go with KK4.

Hello there
After experienced many times upgrading rom from stock firmware to ICS custom, I have a trick for myself and want to share it to you all! That is how to boot into an ICS rom without appearance of kernel splash screen
** Note: This trick is useful with AT&T bootloader only, i've tested with i9k bootloader but unsuccessful.
What needed:
1. Eclair stock firmware: (needed if you're on any custom rom, if you're using stock then don't need to load this one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
2. Speedmod kernel (to get CWM): this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880 ---> download speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar in attachments box at the bottom of post #1.
3. Elite 10.1 for Captivate (must have): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567102
4. Your favorite rom, or if Elite is good enough to you, then you don't need to download anymore! Don't forget to put these rom into your Cappy sdcard!
Here's the sequence of work:
Again, if you're on stock rom without CWM, then ignore step 1 and jump to step 2!
1. Download mode --> Odin --> back to stock Eclair with AT&T boot loader
2. Download mode --> Odin --> flash Speedmod kernel to get Clockwork Mod Recovery, by putting the file speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar you've loaded above into PDA box in Odin, then Start and wait till completed
3. Recovery mode --> Install .zip file of Elite 10.1 ROM, wait till finished and you can boot into Elite successfully. You can ignore this booting process if you don't want to use this ROM, by taking battery pack out!
4. Recovery mode --> Flash your favourite rom and kernel in your usual way (wipe cache, dalvik or full wipe)
5. Reboot and you will see, Cappy shows only the AT&T splash screen and never lets any kernel have a chance to show its own logo!
I've tested with these ROM: CM9 nightly, SlimICS, ICSSGS with exact steps above and the results are the same: great! I've not tried with AOKP yet, but I think it should work!
If anyone try this with AOKP and everything's ok, plz comment so that I'll update into this post!
Hope it helps many Cappy's owners!
this seems stupid
i would rather get rid of the AT&T logo from booting than the kernel splash screen
Ahh then you can use i9000 bootloader!

Here's your topic: [MOD] Custom Boot Screen (for Gingerbread ROM's)
I attached a param.lfs tar for UCKF1 stock rom
no Eclair for my replacement phone
Ever since I got a replacement phone (by AT&T warranty) I cannot install Eclair 2.1 using Odin into it.
I can only use the Odin for going back to 2.2 and 2.3
If I install 2.1 on it I get a bootloop and sometimes it bricks - only a jig can get it back to life.
Do you think this will work with 2.2 ?

I think it's possible. I used to upgrade to ICS from 2.3.5 stock rom with AT&T bootloader and this trick was useful that time. So firstly, u should try to do this trick directly on ur stock 2.2. I believe it will work! But if it won't, u need to upgrade to 2.3, then do the same process!

Thanks. Maybe it's better for me just to try is from 2.3 stock right away and not to bother with 2.2
Anyway, I'll try it if I ever have to go back to stock for any reason.
