I know this is a duplicate post of mine from another thread but....

I could use a hand here.

I was flashing GB stock as per the wonderful guide in the OP. Very straight forward. However, I'm now at 30 minute into the flash process and the little progress bar hasn't moved past maybe 5% on the Download screen.

If you're like me, are you fighting with odin only to realize you keep plugging into the nearby WALL charger, and not the PC, lol (they are right next to each other... I felt a little stupid)

Reject Call With Message & Google Voice

One random question, how can I get the Reject Call with Message feature to use Google Voice to send SMS(text) on this ROM? Messaging isn't defaulted to anything (the clear defaults button is greyed out).
[Captivate Android Development] hondalude89:
In the same predicament. Except I'm stuck at "factoryfs" and the phone goes dark. Help!
[Captivate Android Development] hondalude89:
Arrghh! It keeps going to a black screen or a red acreen while on the factoryfs part of flashing. Gets to at least halfway and does this. I have tried and keep getting stuck. HELP!

2.3 to 2.2

once you go to 2.3 how hard is it to go back to 2.2 and 2.2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
did you not see the link in the op for odin one click to use to get back to stock 2.1? :/
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
You risk blowing up the earth.

Or you just hit this from OP:
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
sorry about that been up all night miss read it completely.wont happen again.
[Captivate Android Development] lacer4576:
My Problem is very similar, except mine just stopped at Do Not Turn Off Target. 30 min in...

lol its all good man. we all make mistakes :D
[Captivate Android Development] d34thp1ng:
(not sure if anyone has mentioned this) I have flashed the stock GB following your direction. It was very easy to follow and understand. I just have 1 quick question.

In the OTHER INFORMATION folder there is a txt file named Returning to 2.x STOCK.txt

It states:

If you wish to leave all this 2.3.3 buisness behind you and re-embrace your old friend Froyo, Simply use the ODIN 1 click or your normal Odin 3 button fix with PIT and PDA :D

Now in your op it says not to use the 3button fix as you will HARD BRICK ur cappy. I dont know if you have updated it or if it has been brought to your attention about that txt doc still containing that info, but I just thought I would bring it to the attention of everyone that you should not follow that txt doc.

As stated by the OP by HaiKaiDo

################################################## ##

THIS IS THE ODIN YOU WILL WANT TO USE TO RETURN TO STOCK!!!! USE THIS ONE AND NOT THE 3 BUTTON ODIN. IF YOU NEED THE THREE BUTTON FIX JUST USE THE 1CLICK ODIN FIRST THEN USE THE 3 BUTTON FIX ODIN

################################################## ##

[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Did the status bar on the device itself ever move?

If not, you should be fine to unplug and try again... however, it is risky.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I've read that you can go back to 2.2.1 and keep the gingerbread bootloaders, they are backwards compatible.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I believe the message above is in regards to returning to stock prior to flashing 2.3.3

The method to return to stock AFTER you have tried 2.3.3 should remain unchanged...

EDIT: Re partition was chekcde when i selected the file (automatic check ...wooot)...really ****d me over...flashed another Kernel ...flash back to Original 2.3.3 Got it to worK. thx
[Captivate Android Development] avalst:
Do I disconnect my phone from my PC in between these steps:

4. Put Your phone in download mode and connect, now hit start. (THIS IS WHERE THE ONLY DANGER IS, YOU ARE NOW FLASHING 2.3.3 AND THE NEW BOOTLOADER INCLUDED WITH 2.3.3 Just dont unplug your cable or have your computer die, otherwise you will be 100% Clear)

5. Boot up normally and let things settle.

Thanks in advance!!

Question

I managed to get everything working fine, however, after doing TiBu I have lost my status bar??

Any help??
[Captivate Android Development] karier13:
No H/3G

I went thru all of the steps and it was very easy and smooth. My only problem, which i saw mentioned once here, was after everything there was no H/3G, no data only phone. I tried it twice with the same results. I am going to try it again. But what is the best fix for this? Thanks foe the great tut. Good job.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
It sounds like you restored system data...

Warning! Posted with Swype.

...and yes, I bought the premium app. :D
[Captivate Android Development] welchertc:
I just flashed and everything went smoothly, yet I'm having the same problem =/. Anybody know how to fix this please?!
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Do you have "packet data" enabled under settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks ?
[Captivate Android Development] welchertc:
I didn't think to make sure that was enabled, because I did in the initial boot up of the phone, but I fixed it anyways by installing the Mosaic rom. Thanks anyways!
[Captivate Android Development] karier13:
H/3G

I think i did check packet data and didnt work. But good to know installing Mosaic should fix it.

[Captivate Android Development] SteveCheeseman:
so i appear to be stuck...

i was on the step 8 on rooting the device, and in the message box on odin, it got stuck at zimage.. the screen is sort of purple and wont continue..
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Didn't flash the kernel properly, disconnect and try again, hopefully you can make it to download mode, if not grab your jig.
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
You talk with one every single day ;)
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I think it's actually just a modem problem.. Stock 2.3.3 flashed JVK modem and doesn't work all too well for everyone (including myself).

you can simply flash JK4 modem after (if you follow the whole guide, he makes you do it..) :rolleyes:

Holy Cow Great Job HaiKaiDo

This is the best thread for an instructional thread since I installed SpeedMod!! Great Job on this!! It worked perfect the first time and I only had to reinstall the Kernel once because of orientation issues.
[Captivate Android Development] anneoneamouse:
Followed the initial steps, got an error message:

"Re-Partition operation failed."

Tried unplugging USB and replugging to ODIN, no response. Do I have a brick?

Edit:

Nope, not a brick. After battery pull, I got the phone / PC & exclamation point screen. I was able to get back to download mode by pulling the battery, waiting a while, reinserting the battery, and simultaneously holding down the vol up & vol down buttons while plugging in the USB cord connected to a laptop.

Odin one-click to JF6 (opened before connecting the usb to the captivate) then recognized the USB connection, and I flashed back to JF6, stock 2.1. Ahhhh.

//- end

Thanks,

Ask and you shall receive:cool:

This is about as good as it will get! Keep in mind you can use most any GB rom. Download the ROM you want instead of the one used in the video.

As always do any of this at your own risk. I love that statement, would we be here if we didn't relize there was risk involved;)

Where the heck is 3G?

Does anyone have a solution to getting 3G date running? I have data it just has an H that flashes back and forth from H to 3G. Speed seems to be the same as 3G. Any thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
H is 3g, just a bit faster...

If you don't want it switching all the time try a different modem. Pretty much anything signal related is gonna be the modem fyi ;)
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
3G or H

Thanks for the information I was not familiar with H. As I said, it benchmarked out to be fast. I was just making sure I had all my settings correct. Is the H a NON-US standard? I would google it but I dont know what the H stands for.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:

[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Just follow the steps in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
As if you hadn't done enough already...

Any thoughts about putting something together using 2.3.4? I heard it is a little less buggy?

I have been asking Hardcore if he is working on a kernel for the captivate + GB. This ROM + speedmod equals awesome GB!!

[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I've had a 2.3.3 rom working very well over the past week or two. While trying to install a new modem today my phone became stuck in I9000 screen. I have tried multiple config's to get into recovery (restore the back up I've made) but no luck. I can however get into dl mode.

It was recommended by the op of the rom I am using to re-install the bootloader.

!) Are there any other methods to try

DONE: vol-up/pow, Batt out vol-up/pow re=install batt, vol-up/pow just before I900 screen tap vol-up... dito but tap power... also tried this but vol-down. Pulled left eyebrow while touching my tongue to a high voltage rail;)

2)What exactly is the bootloader? and how do I r-install only that part?

Thanks.

Question

what are the file sizes for the .pit, and .tar.md5 files? My .pit is 2kb, it doesnt seem right. Just wanted to make sure... the file sizes might be something to add to the right of the list of files in OP, jussayin.

Mine has been sitting on factoryfs.rfs for about 30-40 minutes. I assumed this one would take a little while, but I'm thinking it is stuck.

Is it safe to remove the phone and try to reflash at this point, or should I let it chill for a while more before attempting?

[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Shouldn't take that long. At this point it's frozen so disconnecting it is your only option or it will just sit there forever, so if there was any damage it's already to late. Don't panic though cause it's past the bootloaders so you "should" not be bricked, you should have the new combos now too. Boot into dl mode with vol down power. Swap usb ports and reboot your computer, then try again.

Good luck.
[Captivate Android Development] HaiKaiDo:
He caught me in a pm about an hour ago. Everything worked out alright :D
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:

Flashed JVO using same procedure...

[Captivate Android Development] wcdolphin:
Hey!

Thanks for the tutorial so far, it is working well, I have an issue...I am having trouble with step 6, when I follow your instructions ( I believe), my phone just gets stuck with the SGS symbol and goes no further, using adb I can see that it is stuck in recovery mode, I can manually reboot it into download mode and flash from the beginning, but that leaves me with an awkward phone, as the home button is the back button...

Any thoughts?

For the 'xcals kernel', I used the I9000_reoriented_vG.beta2.tar

In The Odin PDA slot. and the 512 pit file in the Pit slot.

Thanks for your help,

HELP. Stuck on GT-I9000 screen

Everything went fine until I flashed Xcals Kernel. Now I am stuck on the Samsung screen. If I plug in the usb while watching ODIN, I can see it trying to connect with a port. I took the battery out but nothing, come right back to the Galaxy S screen.

It looked real nice until I flashed the updated Kernel. Can someone give me some ideas. I came from a WinMo and this is my first android.

Thanks,

UPDATE: I did get it to turn off and I plugged in the USB cable. I get a gray battery symbol but does not show it is charging....so there is some life in the unit but seems like it is hung up.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Can u get into download mode (2.3.3 download mode button combo is Volume down + power button no usb needed) and start over ?

Or if you got past this, let us know.
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
Running again

I was able to get it up and running. I had to let the battery die, then plugged in the usb for power while holding dwn volume and power. Digger showed up and I was able to reload back to 2.3.3 without the xcals driver. Then I went through the process again, except added Phone and CSC with PDA (xcal drive), etc. Before I just did it with pit file and Xcals driver in the pda area.

Question on Rooting. In HaiKaiDo's write up for rooting he says to use the Kernal Update Beta 2 driver in step eight, shouldn't this be the Xcal's driver since Beta 2 had problems with home and horizontal? Also, in step 8 should I also include the Phone and CSC files with Odin?

Sorry for the questions but I came from the Windows Mobile world. I appreciate your help.

UPDATE: I was able to work through the process and got things running. WinMo experience helped so ALL IS WELL IN THE WORLD! (at least in my world).
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
Same here..everything is fine till I try to do #6 and it just stays at the I9000 screen..????? Anyone got a idea on why ? I deselected the repartition as noted..and entered the 512 file on the pit..and x-cals kernel on the pda...

Mac
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
I had the same and fixed it.

Here is the way to get out of the 9000 boot screen:

- Unplug USB then hold the down volume and power button.

- Continue to hold both buttons and let the screen go blank then try to reboot for three times, then let go of the power button but hold the down button.

- Digger should show up in the download mode. Plug in the USB.

- Use ODIN to flash xcal again in the PDA section EXCEPT make sure you unclick Re-Partition at the top and make sure you have the Phone and CSC file as in the first part of the instuctions.

- The unit should reload everything and be good to go. I did this and it works.

Was there just a glitch in the matrix?
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
I tried it exactly as you described 5 times..but to no avail.I re-downloaded the package 3 times..just to make sure I had a good download.. I then went and downloaded X-cal's kernel separately and used it instead of what came in the package,along with everything else as you said to do..and that seemed to do the trick on the 6th try.I also downloaded Mosaic IV and the JK4 modem flashed them along with the Dark Theme and it's been running good since yesterday..(knock on wood)....Some of these Captivates are just plain fussy with Ginger Bread I think..

Thanks again for your help..and the Op for making this guide..it certainly is a big help to get these phones up to date correctly..

[Captivate Android Development] Dr3amCast:
First, I just wanna say thanks OP, you made this guide very well, everything went smoothly for me on the first try.

The only thing I'm having trouble with is sending / receiving picture messages and using apps that require internet connection. I've tried a few different modems, I keep getting these kinds of error messages:

"Currently unable to send your message. Message will be sent when network becomes available."

"A network error has occurred..."

And in Settings -> About Phone -> Status, Mobile Network State says Disconnected,

With a few of the modems I have tried, I can still use my phoneIs there anything else I can do aside from keep trying modems? I'm using At&t.

Modems I've tried so far:

UGJK4

BVJP3

AOJP3

UGJL2

UGJK4

XXJVE

XXJVK

XXJVE

XXJVO

EDIT

I reinstalled jk4 that was included, wiped cache, dalvik cache, did a factory reset and it's working!! Hope this helps anyone having the same problem.
