I used to have a Samsung Fascinate, but we just left Verizon for Straight Talk. 2 years ago AT&T gave me a refurbed Captivate that we left in the box until now. It has Eclair but I am wanting to possibly upgrade it to Stock Gingerbread or a nice stable Rom. So if someone could give me some pointers (sounds vague) that would be great.:good:
Check out the Stickied Threads in the Q & A, General, and Development Forums. There is a lot of up to date info that will be very helpful.
And from now on, plz post questions in the q & a...and a search before posting will prove to get the answers u need, especially on the basics... Thx

Check out my thread titled JellyUI in the Captivate Dev section. Instructions on how to flash the rom are in the first post. Enjoy
I actually think this is not a bad place for the post although Q&A would be better. I recently tried to bring my old cappy from stock to ICS. I had gingerbread but when I tried to flash CM9, I must have had an old CWM that was not compatible and got into a bootloop where the only way out was to odin back to stock. Then I had a nearly impossible time finding all the files that would allow me to get to ICS. Designgear's and a number of other files referenced throughout the dev section for upgrading have bad links now. I am on an i9000 bootloader with 2 button recovery (since the easiest way to get back to GB was to flash S7v3 with Odin since all the referenced files are still there) but cannot figure out an easy way to get a 3 button CWM even after spending a few days looking for a way to do it just using Odin and CWM as I did in the past. After a lot of trial and error and even getting to a point where I could not get into download mode anymore, I did get CM9 flashed eventually but I will not try again until I figure out how to at least get a 3 button CWM. I went almost two years as a cappy flashaholic and never once had to use ADB or Heimdall, so would prefer not to if possible.
If someone could provide a list of valid links to all the files that are necessary to go from stock to being able to flash ICS or JB roms, I will archive the files so they won't be lost.

And if u will flash the i897 GB Bootloaders, that will allow u to do the 3 button to recovery.

I tried the 1st part but my phone automatically booted into recovery mode after the 1st Odin Flash.
If that was after u flashed the GB Bootloaders, that is ok. Just pull battery, replace it, get back into download mode and then Odin flash the Speedmod kernel so u can get the CWM Recovery. Then u can flash ur Rom of choice from there.

So does the speedmod kernal have CWM Recovery on it? I don't need to add that?
Also do I need to do a wipe?
That is all that u r Odin flashing the Speedmod kernel for...just to get to the CWM Recovery.
Just like the Guide states---after u Odin flash the kernel use the Button combo to reboot into Recovery. That kernel is not there to boot ur phone up, only there for u to use cwm.
And usually the Rom u flash will do a full wipe. But u can do it in the recovery if u want before u flash ur rom.

Hi guys...
Recovered from a soft brick yesterday with one click Odin but now I can't seem to enter recovery anymore...
My firmware seems to be 2.1 update 1...
Do I need to update to gingerbread first? I haven't tried getting into download but what happens if I can't?
Tried about 20 times getting into recovery >_> Is it built into eclair?
Have you tried using ADB to enter recovery mode? Often the three button combo gets broken when flashing custom roms, or at least it has for me in the past
Sent from my AOKP icy-glitched Captivate via Tapatalk 2
Flashin the i897 Gingerbread Bootloaders will resolve the button combo issue.
(Be aware that there is always a risk when flashin bootloaders. Proceed with caution...and a reliable micro usb/usb cord and good connection, etc.)
!! Do not use the old "3 button fix" !!
U have been warned

Is adb included in sdk? That's on my mac so do I just connect the device to my mac and open terminal and type "adb reboot recovery"?
Should I try flashing the KK4 Gingerbread first? Or should I keep the 2.1 to get ROM Manager to easily install CWM?
All ur choice. It just depends on ur final destination.

Not at home now but...my phone boots normal. Do you think that if I can't get into recovery I can't get into download mode? How do I force that?
After flashing the bootloaders do I flash an update.zip to get root and then install clockwork mod again using Odin? I don't want to brick again, if somebody would be so kind to link me to a good cwm link and a rooted rom link I would so appreciate it! Is the speedmod kernel under the "Odin method" rooted?
The "Guide..." by TRusselo that is a Stickied Thread in this Forum is the best to follow if u r going to flash a Dev's Rom.

Hi,
I am new to Android Phones. I tried to root my Galaxy Note using the above method
2. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file
but i run mobile odin without downloading the odin version of custom kernel (I got confused, I thought I needed to do thisafter running mobile odin) and now my phone is stuck in flashing mode for about 45mins switching on and off.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance for your help...
Christina
Flash Pre rooted ROm again Wipe cache and data and repeat procedure, that will be safe.
It worked! Thank you!
Just a quick question...
I followed all the steps mentioned on the thread up to installing mobile odin and copying the ics rom....
but I am confused with the odin version of custom kernel...I am trying to find the correct cf-root kernel through the link you provided but I can not find the KJ1. I downloaded the one you have attached below mobile odin screenshots. Is that ok?
And also where do I copy the kernel? Internal or external sd? Should it be in a specific directory in order to be detected by mobile odin?
Sorry for all these questions but I looked around and there is no specific instructions anywhere about this part.
Thank you...
Which rom you want to flash?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Since I am new to the android platform phones, I think it will be better if i explained what my objective is so I won't confuse you too....
I want to be able to install and use rooted applications like titanium back up. I read that in order to do this I have to root my phone.
So what I want to do now is to root my phone in order to use ie titanium black without upping my flash counter.
Also I do not care to have a custom ICS, I prefer the stock one for now until I become more familiar with all these.
I followed the steps but the customn kernel things has confused me.
My phone is as mentioned before a galaxy note with ICS 4.04 before I started the procedure, now I have Gingerbread 2.35.
What should I do?
Thank you

Go to this thread and just flash the kernel using PC Odin.(First way)

You will have CWM and rooted device.After that you can use Titanium Backup and all other applications which required root
Sahil hez on gb rooted.rom. So no need to flash custom kernel with pc odin. i think mobile odin will b best for him.
@op
Go to first link on my signature, download any ics rom you want
Download notecore kernel std tar version
Copy both.to sd card
Now look to rom switch over from my signature and find how to use mobile odin

Thank you for the quick reply!!!
Just to be sure, when you say first method you mean the one below
1. Short, easy - requires to reset counter
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.
-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away
-First time opening triangle away application, it will ask to download file(flasher), let it complete. then choose to reset counter, it will restart in special recovery an finish job.\
If yes, then this brings us back - almost - to my original question....how do i use the custom kernel (cf or notecore) with odin? I know it uzips to a zimage etc but how do I use it which odin? Also which cf kernel -if iuse this one- is correct for my phone? Is there a link you can provide that explains all these?
Thank you!

There's a guide in the Dev section (stickied).. a little reading goes a long way!
Basically it's gonna look like this: Stock KK4 w/o BLs with Odin -> Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 (go in recovery to get root) -> Flash custom ROM as per their instructions -> Enjoy!
So yeah, little rundown but you have some reading to do to make sure you understand what you are doing.
Since u r runnin android 2.3.4 then u have gb bootloaders so u r good concerning that.
Simply Odin flash the .tar packaged KK4 Corn Kernel version 7.0A , afterwards reboot into the cwm recovery and install ur rom of choice that u should have copied to ur internal sdcard by now, per said rom's install instructions. (u will have to select to install it twice) Success.
--- Option is there, in the advanced cwm recovery menu, to gain Root access. But the big unrealized fact to a lot of users is that u actually don't need to have Root in order to flash a Developer's Rom. If u follow the method i just laid out. :thumbup:---
Enjoy ur Rom of choice !:beer:

Recovery is both volumes+power buttons. You release when the screen flashes usually (there are 2 AT&T image that look the same)
Hold volume + & - together with power button until u see the at&t logo, then release and u should be in recovery.

Can you get in download mode? (volume down + power button)
I'd say to retry flashing Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 (don't forget the .pit)
If that doesn't work, flash stock KK4 without BLs, then reflash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85.

The .pit file.
When you use Odin 1.85, you need 2 files to flash a kernel: .tar and .pit
Your flash most likely didn't work cause you didn't have the .pit file (hence why I said a little reading goes a long way).
It can either be found in here (little search) or on the samsung website.
EDIT: here it is: http://www.droidevelopers.com/attac...752561-[download]-ops-pit-files-s1je4.pit.rar
If you don't know how to use Odin, there are plenty of videos on youtube. Please take time to really understand what you're doing otherwise you'll end up with a paperweight in your hands.

No, when using Odin 1.85, you put the .tar file in the PDA and the .pit file in the PIT.
Flashing Corn kernel will give you a cwm recovery and you won't need to root, just flash the ROM you want to as per their instructions.

Hi, I tried changing my battery with rom toolbox and accidentally got it at an AT&T boot logo loop, I tried going into recovery and wiping but have the same problem and I can get it into download mode ive also tried redoing the kernel in Odin. Idk what to do now. Btw my phone is rooted but the battery thing is what caused the problem because my phone froze and i rebooted.
If u had a Dev'd Rom runnin before the trouble, just reboot into recovery and reinstall the Rom. Try that first.
And more info about what rom u r runnin would be useful. More info = :thumbup: and less info = :what:
But if u were just stock with root...u may just have to Odin or Heimdall back to Stock.

Yea i tried flashing before all of this i was trying to upgrade to jelly bean from gingerbread could you maybe give me some instructions to reinstall the gingerbread (or maybe upgrade to jelly bean if possible) sorry i'm kinda new to messing with my phone like this. im running gingerbread 2.3.5 currently and had the KK4 stock kernal idk what i should do with that though
Well since u r running stock kk4 then u r good with the kk4 bootloaders. So basically all u need is a kernel that has cwm recovery included...like the KK4 Corn Kernel. Odin flash the .tar version of it. Reboot into the cwm and select to install JB rom. It will reboot quickly into the Rom's cwm recovery and from that select to install the JB Rom again. Install the Gapps afterwards. Success.
TRussello put together a flashin guide in the Q & A forum. It is a sticky thread. U could check it out as well.
Be sure and read a lot and know what u r doing before u do it...because in the end only u r to blame if u jack up ur phone.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok i did it with the corn kernel but now it just gets to the AT&T screen then to a system corps screen with a loading bar and then reboots in a loop sometimes it gets futher than and sometimes. I flashed it in odin
Ok so using Odin oneclick to unbrick my semibrick samsung captivate its all set and good, but then i root it. Thats successful as well, but then i try to use odin 3.07 to install the GB Kernel after installing the rooted MUGU into it and when my phone boots it INSTANTLY glitches and i have to go back to Odin oneclick to bring it back to 2.1 which i believe is Eclair.
Any help would be appreciative and thank you
I believe ur problem is that u r trying to flash a GB kernel on Eclair firmware. So...
Update to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread here...Stock GB i897ucKK4
You will need to use a one click with the GB Bootloaders. Heed all warnings about flashing BLs. U do not want to break the connection during the few seconds that the bootloaders are being flashed, i.e. power, usb/micro usb cable. And once u have flashed the Stock GB KK4 one click with bootloaders, there is no need for u to flash back to stock eclair with its bootloaders. If u ever need to flash back to a Stock firmware to fix something or whatever, just use one of the KK4 one clicks without the bootloaders included.
Get Root and/or KK4 Corn Kernel that has CWM Recovery included so that u can move on to flashing Dev Roms here...[Utility] KK4 Easy Root. See post 4 in this thread for a working download link.
Read carefully. Read some more. Understand what ur doing and the risks involved. Proceed. Enjoy. Be sure to at least hit the Dev's thanks buttons because they have worked hard and spent a lot of time doing what they do.
Ok so if i remember correctly(i am not on my comouter right now) odin 3.07 has a BL slot and the PDA slot. If i input the GB BL into the BL slot and the KK4 into the kernel slot would i be able to run them under the same odin setup or would i have to run the BL restart my phone into download mode and THEN run it again? Sorry im a huge noob when it comes to flashing, i onlt found out about it from my stepdad who put Darkstar on his Note

The Odin or Heimdall One Clicks that I linked above will do it all for u. There are instructions included in those downloads.
