Hey everyone, hopefully someone can back me out of my mistake. I was running CPF1 on my galaxy s6 on ATT. i saw a thread (not on this forum) to root marshmallow and proceeded to download and flash a kernel. It flashed successfully but i believe the kernel was for 5.1..1 and now my phone will not do a damn thing. i can get it back into download mode, but it's been several years since ive flashed anything to my device. Total negligence for not fully reading on my part, but is there a STOCK cpf1 kernel i would be able to flash back to my phone for it to boot up? thank you so much in advance!!

I just went through the same thing yesterday. As far as I could find out, there are no cpd1/cpf1 kernels available online. BUT if you have a Best Buy near you that has a Samsung kiosk you can get a technician there to flash a stock rom for you.
I didn't do this, but you might be able to downgrade to Lollipop (which is rootable) if you tell the tech that's what you had. Mind that you're going to lose all the data on your phone regardless.

Hey everyone!
I'm going to make this as short as possible. I purchased a Sammy S about a month ago and bricked it while installing the OCLF apk available from the forums. Pretty weird how that happened considering it never gave me any problems before, I practically fried my internal SD and couldnt boot any firmware. Since then i've got a replacement for it and now I want to give things another shot.
Just like most of us on xda, I want the best firmware with all the cool nifty stuff, but now im kind of worried about bricking it again, so to avoid that im hoping I can get some clarification on some things:
- Phone is SGS, GT-I9000 (Canadian on Rogers), 2.2, I9000XXJP2, Recovery 3e.
To my understanding from reading some more forums last night, flashing new firmware or new ROMs with Recovery 3e is deadly, in which case i must obtain recovery 2e...
Is there a way to do this with my current firmware? OR
Do I flash a different firmware using Odin, and then attempt to obtain recovery 2e?
Cheers
- Sam
P.S: the phone is also NOT rooted.
no ideas anyone?

You need help with the same thing too? Lol
First, MODS: I apologize if this is posted in the wrong thread, but I can't find anything along the lines of help I need, and since I started here, I was thinking I'd end here... Please move if necessary.
So I have recently learned that not all Android devices are as easily rooted/modded as my EVO (rooted my GF's Optimus S, and ended up on the couch for months, and around the same time, rooted the Sprint SGT she got me for X-Mas, and have only gotten the Optimus S working again, but remain on the couch for bricking my SGT).
I am in dire need of help getting my SGT back to stock (if that's even possible) or at least back to rooted with a stock ROM. I rooted my SGT in preparation for the Honeycomb port (which was apparently a bust(?) and after flashing that port, then Boushh's AOSP ROM, I can boot to download mode (with neither Heimdall or Odin reognizing the device) or I can attempt to boot to recovery and get nothing but the Samsung splash.
I have all drivers installed, and I PROMISE I have learned my lesson, and should have never rooted to begin with, but if ANYONE could please help me get my SGT back, I would TRUELY appreciate it!
I have just recently gotten semi-familiar with ADB again (Optimus S fix) but I'm not really in a place to start pushing commands without guidance.
I'm sorry again if this is the incorrect thread, I didn't know where else to post, but I REALLY need help. We really couldn't afford the SGT to begin with, so I feel horrible that I've bricked it, and can't do anything with it anymore.
Sorry to be a gnat...

No worries buddy, I know how it feels, since you posted already here's how your proceed:
1. get Odin 1.7
2. if you want stock, go to samfirmware.com and download the ROM corresponding to your device
3. Bear in mind that most stock ROM are shipped with locked bootloader, if you don't care skip step 4/5
4. download super one click root from shortfuse.org
5. root your device and either get a ROM with removed bootloaders or get the bootloader patch by chainfire, found in this forum somewhere
6. While being in the "yellow" screen flash using odin
Hope this helps.
He has a cdma tab. Sprint right?
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969892&highlight=sprint+stock
As your last resort. If not go back to sprint tell them tab isnt switxhing on.
How about flashing a kernel that installs cwm?

As long as you flash the no modem software you are good. That is the key. No modem.
Probably a driver issue if it's not being seen in ODIN.
if its not seen it doesnt matter either, you turn off and turn on again, you'll see a black screen with some kind of logo, then I usually flash a rotohammer release, this is always the life saver

Usually when having both, Odin and Heimdal installed, one of them needs to be removed...

Yup. ODIN takes a separate driver that conflicts with heimdall and vice versa.

Hi I can't even enter download mode after my Odin update failed. It's just a black screen and when I plug it into the computer it's not recognised at all.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Hi all,
I have flashed my phone a few times (actually only once to perception, and then recently back to stock before then flashing stock rogers 2.2 - as I didn't have internet at the time to use kies, even though I am US based). I am currently traveling around Europe, and will be heading to the UK soon from Sep-Dec. As such I would like to unlock the phone and use an Orange or Vodafone pay as you go sim.
Unfortunately when I tried to unlock the phone I was unable to, I am assuming because the rom on there (stock rogers 2.2) doesn't have some of the correct things...(sorry for not being more specific).
Right now my plan is to reflash back to stock 2.1 and try and unlock from there? I don't want to turn this into a "what rom should I use now" thread, but is there an good battery life 2.2 rom that would let me unlock. I've looked into flashing a 2.3 rom, but it seems like more work than I am willing to put in right now (although I'm sure it's not tooo hard, I don't have a ton of experience flashing, and I can't afford to really screw this phone up right now), especially with AT&T announcing they will be upgrading it to 2.3 sometime "soon" (hah).
Sorry I know this is a long post and not especially clear, but I'd really really appreciate the help.
thanks,
-Foofie
Hmmm, maybe flashing to gingerbread isn't as hard as I thought it was? According to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
it's just an odin 1 click now? Maybe it always has been and I'm an idiot, I wouldn't be surprised. So if I flash back to stock 2.1 and then flash to 2.3 using the above method (although I'm a bit confused about the extra files on that page, why do I need to change the kernel, how do I do so?) could I unlock the phone at that point? Or would I need to flash to a custom rom like cognition 5 or perception first?
Just flash to 2.1 root and unlock it from there. After that it will be unlocked and you can flash whatever. I've unlocked once six months ago flashed 1,000,001 times, still unlocked.

Ahhh thanks, this is what I was hoping to hear!
So even flashing with Odin wouldn't reset the unlocking? Doesn't Odin wipe all the phone data?
Not ALL data. The efs folder contains the imei number which is unique to each device. Just make sure and back that up (the efs folder), so if you have any network connectivity issues you can restore your imei...
Thanks.
God flashing to 2.2 the way I did was a huge mistake. Trying to flash back to stock soft bricked (hopefully that is what this is) my phone. Trying to get heimdall running now so I can use the 1 click unbrick.
Hey all, I am in need to a new Cappy since mine seems not to have a fully functional external speaker or microphone anymore. I miss calls/alarms/texts/emails all the time and I figure since I'm still under a year since my purchase, it's high time to get a replacement. I am posting this to ask what the latest stock ROM is to flash back to, and preparations to make before sending my Captivate back. I am rooted running a custom Gingerbread ROM and Kernal.
This thread from the Droid Incredible boards helped on the backup:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732497
..but I need Captivate specific information on the latest official AT&T ROM.
I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233620&highlight=flash+to+stock
..and was wondering if this is the latest released official captivate ROM to flash to, so the folks at AT&T don't realize I was doing anything hokie and detrimental to my warranty.
I love this phone very much, but I would love even more not to be stuck with a lemon. So if any of you have any information on the best way to prepare my Captivate for a journey back to meet it's maker, I would be much obliged.
Thank you all in advance.

no that is not the offical rom . you should flash back to stock fyoyo and do a factory wipe on top of it to clear your personal data .
im resending my phone back to warranty for my external speaker, to prepare my phone is i went back to stock android 2.1 then used samsung kies to upgrade to at&t official froyo 2.2. backed up my pics to my computer and did a factory reset on the phone to erase all the junk in the internal sd card drive.. hope that helps.
Wich froyo did you use? I've used JF6 and JH2 and Kies keeps saying Unregistered Device
Ok so its been a while searching for info and i think its time to ask, is there a way to flash a custom recovery? or i did really messed up when updated to this version? i managed to root and i remember following a tutorial before i knew the bootloader thing and it says custom when it boots up.
So, is there a way? if i update should i be able to flash a custom recovery?

This phone's bootloader is completely locked down. There is simply no way to install a custom recovery (or custom kernel for that matter) no matter what version of android you are on. Sorry
that really sucks, i have the sgh-i537 and would have loved to put a custom rom on it. i rooted it as per the instructions that were posted on these forums.

This is why I will never buy an AT&T-branded phone again. I just recently acquired a T-Mobile variant Galaxy S5, and I'm loving it, installed Cyanogenmod the first chance I got and never looked back. I missed CM soooooooo much. AT&T and Verizon should never have started locking down their bootloaders (or if they must, at least give those willing and able a method to unlock it like on HTC devices) it's total B.S. and a complete death knell to their development communities

the s4 active was my first root i managed to accomplish. I have other phones lying around but i cannot try rooting any of them yet. I got:
2 sprint galaxy s3 (one has a busted port and other has issues with volume up button)
htc evo from sprint (lost it somewhere in the house and cannot find it)
my galaxy s4 active (rooted but i think i did something wrong bc my battery life is shot to hell)
cricket galaxy s5 (amoled screen is busted and currently waiting to gather funds for repairs, will consider putting cm on it as soon as i get it fixed. Will be my next project.)
