Hi everyone,
I own a captivate-i896 (rogers)
I have run into a very serious trouble
I tried to odin back to stock and now I am experiencing this problem. I get the following message:
update media. please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata:media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
PLEASE HELP.
I tried delete all user data. reinstall packages. delete cache. EVERYTHING.
I even trying flashing again 3 times. No luck.
Can someone please help?
First thing is your phone isn't bricked if it still has power and you can see things on it. Second, what were you doing with Odin when it was flashing? Was it the full Odin or a one click version? Are you making sure you flash the proper firmware? What did you have on your phone before you tried going back to stock? Lots more detail is helpful because your phone works...just not like it should. Again its no brick and searching the forums will help with your issue.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

You had a lagfix installed that you did not disable before you reflashed. Your internal partition is still on ext4 but the data is on efs. This is not a problem. You need the one-click version of odin. Search the threads for it and instructions on flashing. You will have the att boot logo but there are ways to work around it, but first do the one click.

I thought Lagfix didn't need to be disabled if you were flashing to stock, just going from ROM to ROM. Besides that, I don't feel comfortable running 1-click for any reason as it bricked my first phone, just trying to flash.
What ROM were you running when you encountered this problem?
Stock, with a SpeedMod kernel. I wanted to go back to a stock kernel with voodoo. Trust me on this one, one-click will restore you to 2.1 if you follow the instructions.
See this thread:

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using XDA App
The reason you have to disable the lagfix is because with a new ROM you are likely flashing an integrated kernel with a lagfix. Some are Captivate-based, some are i9000-based. Additionally, some use Supercurio's Voodoo Lagfix, some use Hardcore's SpeedMod. One or more of these elements might be incompatible going from one configuration to the new flash config. Without knowing more about what you had before and what you wanted to flash, this is the best explanation I can give.
If you are irked by the AT&T boot screen, I am also partial the this fellow's package, which I have used and works well. Read and make sure you have the Rogers version.

It has nothing to do with following the instructions - It has to do with the Batch version of the phone - 1010 and 1012 batch numbers do NOT play well with 1-click.

I'm well aware of that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11649620&postcount=5
What you might not be aware of is that Rogers Captivates are not prone to these failures as they are different build numbers. This is a fellow Rogers customer. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that his build is 10.11.
Thanks everyone for all the responses.
Actually I had doc's rom installed on my phone and I believe I had the hardcore speedmod kernel OR the glitterball's kernel on my fone and also had the lagfix.
I was actually in process of flashing the cyanogen 7 gingerbread when this happened. I forgot to copy the actual flash file(that i was supposed to instal from speedmod kernel recovery) and so i just decided to odin back to stock and start the process all over again. But after doing that my phone never went past the rogers splash screen.
I use the ODIN 1 click software where u just load the PDA and PIT files and flash the fone. I have tried Odin back to stock for Rogers eclair 2.1 and froyo 2.2 without any luck. I also tried the at&t 1 click odin flash back to stock without any luck.
The best I was able to do was to reach the rogers splash screen and then the screen turned black and thats it.
I flashed many different kernels but nothing happened.
I even downloaded the giorgio armani firmware for the captivate and flashed that which got rid of the mounting error in the 2e recovery screen but after the splash screen, the phone just kept vibrating and nothing happened.
I have tried everything you guys asked me too.
Also, after flashing the I9010 rom(giorgio armani), my download mode 3 button combo changed. First, I used vol up and down plus USB to get into download mode but now its changed to vol down + power. This one is not a big deal as i can still get into download mode. But I am telling you all just to help.
I also read somewhere that we cannot repartition and flash using odin 1 click if we have a lagfix kernel installed. I might have done that too that might have caused the problem.
Someone here mentioned that the file system is changed from ext4 to efs or something like that. I don't know what the real problem is.
Please help

My build is 10.10
but I never had a problem with flashing with 1-click ODIN to stock before.
I have tried both AT&T and rogers versions through 1-click odin.
Hope that helps.

Hello, I'm trying to root my samsung captivate. I originally flashed 2.3.5 using Odin a couple weeks before the official update came out. I remember seeing reinstall packages appear in the recovery screen before then but now its gone, completely vanished and I am left with the inability to root my phone. Can anyone help me?
Download 7.0A corn kernel (Odin version, not cwm) found on the development section. Flash it using Odin under PDA slot. Then use three button combo to go recovery and install root from there.
If you don't like corn kernel, search for fugu root and follow the OP instructions.

Hi
I have a non branded GT-P1000 Tab. Trying to follow instructions at http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-gt-p1000-android-4-0-4-ics-aokp-rom-97483/ to install AKOP.40 ROM
Need Clockworkmod installed.
Installed Rom Manager then attempted to install Clockworkmod - It asks me to choose my phone type. Closest options are: Galaxy Tab - ATT, Samsung Galaxy Tab - T-Mobile, Samsung galaxy tab - VZW.
What do I install, or is there another version of Clockworkmod for non Branded TAB somewhere?
Thanks ColinK
From Manager is not compatible with P1000
You may brick your device if you force install cwm recovery of different device.
The only method is to flash via Odin, a kernel that contains cwm recovery.
overcome kernel is one of them.
In fact it was recommended in all ICS rom install guide you find here.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27500461

Forget about reference to AOKP build 38, that was back then.

Hi
Thanks for your prompt reply. The instructions for flashing overcome seems to have multiple steps and "IF's", with multiple opportunities to go wrong.
The android authority guide seems straightforward, and I have gone through some of it - except the guide makes no mention of how to get CWM.
Is there a simple way to get the right version of CWM installed, or something else that will do the same steps / functions.
If not, were exactly does the install part start and do I also have to install Odin?
Sorry for so many questions / uncertainty.
ColinK
As I said before.
No, there is only ONE way to get CWM recovery for P1000.
That is to flash a kernel that has CWM Recovery.
Either cf-root kernel or Overcome Kernel or Redpill kernel.
It is dead simple.
Download the tar file
Connect to Odin.
Flash.
Now, lets start by telling us what you have. P1000 running Froyo?
Rooted?
BTW, if you follow the complete Overcome guide, 99.999% you won't go wrong, if you follow every steps.
So read it 10 times if not sure.
The GB-Stock-Safe package mentioned in Overcome and available on their site, it contains the correct version of Odin (1.7) and the USB driver for Samsung.
32 bit and 64 bit driver for Windows.
Absolutely nothing else extra is needed. All there.

Actually you can flash a CWM.zip update without installing a kernel after you root your device.
But again, installing kernel with CWM included just like Priyana said would be a lot easier and simpler.

GT-P1000, 2.2, Baseband P1000xxjma, Kernel 2.6.32.0 [email protected]#1
The tab is completely standard, never touched until a few days ago. Followed the instrictions at Android Authority to Root using z4Root
How do I know if it is rooted? (Ie was z4 root successful).
Did Wipe Data/Factory Reset, and Wipe Cache Partition - then realised I did not have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
That is where I am now.
I hope you do not mind me asking clarifications for your instruictions. Your guide said 'jump to .. flash overconme" - where does that part start.
The quide mentions downloading a gb stock safev5.zip , an Oversome Kernel.tar and 7 series wipe.zip
Note the gb stock.zip mentions Gingerbread Based - I have Fryo (what are the implications)
But your last reply just mentions downloading the tar file and using odin
Can you see that for someone who is not familiar with all this Android jargon this is all very confusing.
I am quite competent in following instructions, but most instructions assume certain conditions (without telling me if my Tab meets those conditions), and assumes I know what eg "odin sees it" means, where is odi, where do I install it, how do I use it.
What I really want is a straightforward guide that will tell me how to install AOKP ROM Build 40 onto MY Tab, without 'go here' and 'go there' and only do this IF ...
Thanks for your help.

Hi ColinK,
Unfortunately there is no straight way to install AOKP.
I am afraid you have to follow the guide to the letter, sort of.
This is why.
Some froyo from for our tab has locked bootloader.
So if you are on froyo there is a small chance you had a locked one.
You need to root your tab then run an app to check and to patch.
(I forgot by now whether you need root to check... to patch definitely yes)
Now, that is why Overcome guide said if froyo you need to root.
It is not strickly necessary.
Now, let's assume you don't have locked bootloader.
You only need to use Odin and flash GB stock safe v5 (which is actually Gingerbread Samsung version JQ1 Italian rom)
So, you need Odin.
Unpack the gb stock safe and you find Odin and USB driver.
Install USB driver first, then plug in your tab and your PC will detect the new device.
Unplug your device.
Install Odin.
Launch Odin, put your device to download mode and plug your device in to PC.
I am not a big user of Odin. I use heimdall in Linux which is simple and just work, so my memory is sketchy.
Odin will detect your device. There will be messages on screen.
Line up the files according to the guide and flash.
If no error your tab rebooted and you have GB ROM.
that of course isn't the end because you need cwm.
So continue with the guide.
It asks you to use Odin to flash overcome kernel tar.
Do it and you will end up having cwm recovery.
That is the end of guide.
You don't need to flash overcome rom.
Just follow my other thread reply to get AOKP.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Addition info: The easiest way to check if you are rooted or not:
Download and install 'root check' or 'got root?' from google play store.
If the rooting failed, you can try the doomslords rooting script. It was my favorite root script up to GB2.3.3
Once you succesfully rooted, continue download the bootloader patch for froyo.
I have been on AOKP for so long, all this rooting, bootloader and all are a blur now.

I can feel you. I can't even 100% remember if gb-stock-safe is pre-rooted or overvcome kernel gives root access for it.

and then flashing overcome via cwm:

then you can flash any aokp or cyanogenmod mtd build.
Upgraded to ICS and thanks
Ok so thanks to all who helped out with links to roms and guides.
I now have a lovely Galaxy Tab with ICS from AOKP.
And for anyone who would like to try but hasn't yet it really is surprisingly easy, just take your time and make sure to do it right, you won't regret the upgrade to ICS

guyz i need help in installing cwm in my rooted galaxy tab p1000 running 2.2 froyo
So yeah, I'm a noob and hate myself and want to get that out of the way. I have an AT&T (but I'm with Consumer Cellular) i897 on 2.2 that I rooted and unlocked over a year ago with super one click and that's the extent of my experience other than an iphone jailbreak. I have searched so many places that I now have a migraine and would like to just get a short easy answer. There are so many different variables for updating and rooting that I can't find an answer to MY specific situation.
I'd like to update to new software but I don't know which version works best with my older captivate and then find the right tool to root. I don't do alot of tweaking, I just like removing all the AT&T bloatware and would like to see some functioning improvement. It tends to freeze on occasion, can lag a bit and not always cooperative.
I may be asking too much but could one of you intelligent developer type guys just tell me what to update, flash, replace, with what and then the tool to root, I would be ever so grateful.
edit: I just realized that I won't need to root again if I'm not doing an officiate update, correct?

So then, do I need to root again with KK4? And what do you mean by move on to flashing Dev Roms? As in a 2 step process for updating to 2.3.5 or that I might want to experiment with more advanced firmware?
Thanks for the help and yes I will certainly read everything over and over until I'm sure I understand it before I proceed. Thanks and donation too.
Android 2.3.5 GB i897ucKK4 is the latest official Stock firmware release for the Captivate. And the last official.
The Utility KK4 Easy Root will get u Root. And if that is where u want to stop, then that is fine. But if u want to go on from there into flashing some Developer's Roms in the Dev forum then u can choose to keep the Corn Kernel, that has CWM Recovery included, and use that to flash a Rom of ur choice.
And thanks for the donation. Appreciate that !!

Just to be sure I understand then, I WILL lose root when I update to 2.3.5 even though it's not an OTA or by going through kies, correct?
I feel as if you understood and addressed my needs perfectly and I really appreciate your help.
Yep. U will loose Root. That Stock install will do a full wipe. So back up ur contacts, apps, messages, etc. whatever u want to save. Then flash the KK4. After that u can use the Utility to get Root.
U could also, if u prefer, install the i897ucKK4 through the Software update in the Settings of the phone. Then after the update, use the Utility.

That worked great, thanks. Also, Norton says the KK4 update was a possible malware/phishing file. A false positive I presume? Just want to make sure it wasn't from an older site that hadn't been looked at in awhile especially since I procrastinated so long updating my Captivate.

Yes, false alarm for kk4. It will update your bootloaders to Gingerbread.
I recommend that you silence, uninstall or disable any AV while flashing, especially when flashing bootloaders, cause you really, really don't want anything interfering with a successful, complete bootloader flash. If you have bad bootloaders, you are bricked.

Will do. But what happens if the phone rings? Safe to just ignore it?

Don't worry about that, the phone won't ring while in download mode
Just make sure nothing interrupts the flash (unplugged cable, program closes, drop phone.. etc) as it will most likely brick it.

I guess it shows how long it's been since I've done this. So many things have changed since then, as has my aging memory.
I will make sure everything is safe and secure begin I start. Thanks again for all your help. If I had known how friendly and responsive this forum was, I would have asked for help a long time ago.
I was getting ready to update/root today and I'm not sure what to use for download mode. I have superoneclick with ADB from back in 2011 installed when I first rooted along with kies and all the drivers and I don't know whether to use it or start over or even wipe some it off my PC to avoid conflict. It seems to be the only - or at least the easiest way to get my captivate into download mode but people are reporting issues. I really really don't want to go through the SDK with JRE install process since just reading it gives me a headache. Can you please advise?
I used Odin, not the one click variety, but the basic one. I followed this guide at android forums, which has been pointed to in many xda threads:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...ng-adding-cwm-recovery-2-3-5-corn-kernel.html
It worked for me, in no small part because I printed out that web page and had the hardcopy in front of me as I completed the steps.

Re: [ROM][4.1.1][PORT] X-Bean **2.0** (fast, stable & superfunctional)
Been browsing for an update on AT&T Captivate SGH-I897 Froyo 2.2 and now on T-Moble
Unlocked, rooted with SOC and CWM recovery..
Read thru development on X-Bean **2.0**
Understood to get: x-bean 1.1Base.zip / gapps-jb20121011-signed.zip / BUT not sure which kernal!!
Early the thread states Devil 1.0.4vc but most recently suggests alternative of semaphore 2.0.3c.
Am I correct in thinking both work, just the semaphore is newer?
Thanks

Appreciate the reply BWolf56!
I will be sure to use either the kernals with the "c" suffix as suggested in the original thread!
NOW! Trying to decide on the best Backup App..

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)

Understood... NO KIES
Sorry but a little confused still...
Do I Odin flash KK4 w/o bootloaders first -> flash corn kernal with Odin -> then flash a CM ROM using their procedure?
Where in the sequence is "flash I9000 bootloaders?
* No luck finding Odin w/o bootloaders yet, outdated download sites. Will search through xda again.
Noted! "There are no JB bootloaders for the cappy, just eclair, froyo and GB." (I was originally ATT captivate on FROYO 2.2)

For now, forget about the I9000 bootloaders.
Here's KK4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
During your flashing, did you ever flash the GB bootloaders? If not, get the version with bootloaders and make the the flashing isnt't interrupted.
And yeah, from there you got it right, corn kernel; and follow their full flashing instructions.

* I haven't knowingly flashed GB bootloaders.
* I've been all over the link you provided... no working downloads.
Hmmm, I did try "Odin" a couple of times to get the GingerBread update...After doing that my phone now
boots to the AT&T logo, goes black for a sec and a screen like a bad tv signal comes up! Also, the phone
is now charging and showing the big battery icon! I seem to recall reading somewhere that if that happens
it may be wrong bootloaders? Can't remember exactly what it said but am I correct thinking it was one of
your own replies to another member?
Anyway, done for the night Grrrr
Thanks so much!
Here is a post with a pic about the screen u r seeing. Pixelated screen means u don't have the GB bootloaders... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33227557&postcount=2
And i am currently in the process of uploading my Odin and Heimdall Stock KK4 One Clicks. Gonna be using MediaFire. Will post when all uploads are done and new links attached to my post #3 in the Stock Rom stickied thread in the Development forum...

Links aren't good forever, i realize that just hard to believe I hadn't found them ANYWHERE yet! Lol
PS ************
* Have since got GB Bootloaders and added thru Odin3 v1.70.. PDA.tar.md5
* Now able to get into recovery mode by 3-button, shows 3e recovery, have ability to install from sdcard,
wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.
* I have an "update.zip" on there but can't remember what it's for so I didn't do it...
but still no UI coming up, just the AT&T logo which cycles ON/OFF
Am I still in the same boat... needing KK4 Odin flash, after doing that will i be able to copy
a KK4 ROM zip to my phone thru PC and flash from the phone?

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
As usual, appreciate the help!

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.
