I accidentally pushed the wrong build.prop onto my bionic and cant get past boot animation, i need a stock 4.1.2 build.prop for reference, if someone could please help?
also worth asking...is there a way to get the .bak version i saved off my phone or even a way to push a new build.prop onto it since adb cant seem to detect my phone even when in recovery with "update from adb"selected
Edit: Nevermind. fxz'd back to stock, and started over

Ive lost all usb connectivity, I can charge the battery but it will not connect to any pc with any cable under any configuration.
Ive recieved my replacement from warranty. But I would like to get the broken phone back to stock kernel before I return it. It is currently runnig http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784170 by atinm.
I have stock jf6 rom but kernal still shows non stock from voodoo.
Is there a way to do this such as an update.zip that Ive missed.
I have looked through the captivate section for days but cant find anything that will help, If someone knows of something Ive missed please point me there. I would apreciate any assistance.
My concern is if I cant get kernel back to stock it might void my warranty. The irony is I didnt alter the kernel untill after usb broke.
Thank you for reading.

Thank you designgears and koush. your jf7 ota and clockwork mod put me back to stock.
I used recovery-update.zip(koush) to run jf7 ota.(designgears)
I had to do it that way to keep voodoo from reinstalling.

I have the same USB issue...tried everything its has been a real pain in the ass . I am currently rooted with jf7, flashed cognition 2.1.3 voodoo enabled. The phone runs better then ever but I gotta have my USB just in case **** happens.
I would like to go back to stock unrooted before I exchange the phone . I searched around the forums for the recovery-update.zip mentioned above. I assume it was a private exchange. I would really like to get that file, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

what I did was put design gears jf7 onto a microsd along with koush's recovery update.zip
you will need to remove your lag fix because it doesnt play well with clockwork if you dont have clockwork, all you really need is the recovery update .zip and the jf7 ota .zip if you can manually get into recovery you might not even need the recovery update.zip I had to use it because after I removed lag fix it would reinstall upon boot so I removed the lag fix and ran recovery update.zip upon the next boot( you will need to rename this update.zip and go into recovery by holding down power+both up and down vol until screen comes on then let go of power and continue to hold both up+down vol till you hit recovery then select to run the update. zip which is actually clockwork. then you can select to run the jf7 ota update . zip
that how I had to do it you might be able to skip the recovery . zip and just run the jf7 update.zip
be sure to rename it update.zip unless you use clockwork
just make sure you get the lagfix off before you run clockwork.
fell free to pm me if you need anymore help as Im not really good at explaining things sometimes
Hope this gets you back
ps you will need to move the files from micro sd to internal sd
Hello All,
I'm starting a new thread, because I am in a situation where I want to get my girlfriends phone back to stock so I can warranty it, and hopefully someone here will have the answer and people will have one place to look for putting their Roger's Samsung Captivate back to stock.
I'm hoping someone can tell everyone why we can't seem to get back to stock on these ROM's, here are the things I've tried:
Originally cleared everything rooted the phone through an update.zip, then put on the Clockworkmod Recovery and flashed Cognition v2.3b8, Trying to fix, battery life and lagging issues on her phone, (had a couple of random restarts the day before I flashed, so I was hoping it would fix that).
Then she started noticing the random restarts more often, so I tried:
clearing everything again through the recovery and tried restore from my backup to put things back, it looks like it extracted (or Installed) successfully then when it boots, it gets to the black, "Swipe" screen, then it freezes.
I tried to flash the Rogers_Stock.zip, same thing. Then I extracted the zip, and put it into the backup folder, hoping it will restore it like a normal restore, same thing.
So right now I'm stuck with a phone that says AT&T when it boots (I read one post on how to remove that) and cognition boot up.
Basically, I want to get this to look enough like stock to return.
I was thinking I can try to get rid of that AT&T popup, then flash the stock ROM, and say it just stopped booting for some reason. But then I still need to get rid of the Clockworkmod Recovery.
Wow that was a mouthful.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide for use Roger's users (or their significant others).

try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867617
There are others like it too. Just don't try flashing the bootloader or sbl !

Gin's got you on the right path for sure. A couple more items for you:
This post should help with removing the AT&T bootup logo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849789
If you use Heimdall to flash the Rogers stock firmware that is in the post the Gin linked to then you will absolutely need to follow the instructions to use the Heimdall drivers for your captivate when it's connected or it won't see the device when you tell it to start. Like gin said, don't touch primary or secondary bootloader, leave those out and don't try to repartition it.
Restoring the stock firmware will remove the custom kernel that is installed with Cognition (at least it should) and so the Clockwork recovery should no longer be installed once the restore to stock is done. You can double-check once you are back to stock by powering off the phone and then hold both up and down volume + power, let the power button go after it restarts once and you see the I896 for the 2nd time. It should take you to the stock 2e recovery screen. If it does, you should be golden.
HTH
Wow, thanks all,
I used that method without the PIT file,
I just want to say thanks to everyone that offered help,
Goina try to send it for warranty now.
thanks again,

Hi!
I replaced libaudio.so & 2 other system files on my Samsung captivate and upon rebooting the just wouldn't start. It's stuck at start screen where it says
at&t world phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
HP
More info please.
You did not match the permissions. I am assuming you are running miui. You should not have to change files if you are flashing a captivate package. As started above please provide more details.
You will have to reflash in any case though
Did u try getting into CWM? Did u take a nandroid backup before u update them? Or do u happen to have an earlier backup that u could use to restore from CWM.
Pure entertainment value.
I was using Samsung official Froyo version and rooted phone using SuperOneClick.
Earlier to Froyo I had ROM Manager & ClockworkMod which i didn't do anything with after upgrading to Froyo.
Anything else you need to know please ask, I'm not a techie but I'll try to answer.
Thanks
Back up your apps with tibu, odin to eclair and start over this time don't go deleting stuff unless you both know what the hell it is and making a back up first. In fact Simply adding a .bak at the end of the file will do the trick with out deleting it at all, that way you don't even have to delete it, and if you need it back just remove the .bak part. Basic linux.
Thanks for valuable suggestion Studacris, but how do I do anything when phone wouldn't buzz from the "at&t world phone" screen. By the way I did renamed those original system files but to restore I need to get to system/lib directory.
Do a search for odin. It flashes you to stock without needing to boot into the os, it does it in download mode, it's a peice of software leaked from samsung that they use for repairing/reformatting phones. If you don't have a back up though you will lose all your apps. But it's way better than a boot loop.
That did it for me. Thanks a bunch.
how can i fix this and its frustrating phone was working fine and when i update it does nothing but reboot...when i am in safestrap, the "install" tab is not lit to be able to select, so i can not even install a different rom on there....is there a way to fix this
If you are stuck in a bootloop, probably going to have to flash the .246 fxz to get you to stock OTA untouched and then roll from there. I went through this back in ancient days of yore with the DroidX and Froyo, had to fxz(sbf) the phone.

Redownload the file from another source and flash it. You also might want to boot into the stock recovery and do a complete factory reset if you haven't already. I also have had to do this on previous phones I've owned when updating.
I got a bionic that had an update to ics done, however they totally screwed it up and now the phone won't get past the boot screen before shutting down and repeating. Sometimes It'll go the setup screen, but each time it crashes again.
I hit the down key and power button to get into that master menu and tried all the options there but still nothing. I was reading that I actually need gingerbread downloaded to an sd card then go into the master menu and open it from there.
The problem is I can't seem to locate the files I need to do this. Can you guys please help me? I'd hate to have to sell this on ebay, since it's only worth about 15 bucks there. It's otherwise in mint condition.
Thanks.
.If you try to load gingerbread, your phone will be bricked permanently. You can only load current i.e. ics(no leaked versions)or jb. You can not downgrade. Look for FXZ file for either one and load it with rsdlite.
*6.7.246 FXZ Link**(To be used with RSD Lite
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5O5JKRZTsGjRXNMN3lLMHoyVkk/preview?pli=1 This is ics version. If the file doesn't get downloaded as a zip file then something is wrong.

You will have to install bionic drivers and rsdlite on a pc.
