Go to mobiletech videoes website, and download the three button fix .zip, it flashes in cwm recovery. That's what I've done on two Cappys that didn't have the three button combo working, it works great as long as you're already on the eclair/froyo bootloaders.

I was gonna make one before I ever needed it, always seemed like something handy to have when for a noob like me. guess I procrastinated to long:mad:

Ive tried that several times, no go, but thanks!:)

It just reboots the phone, i read a post yesterday somewhere on here that a guy just kept hitting Up Arrow then Enter after adb reboot download while the phone is booting up and he said he got lucky and was able to force DL mode...

Me, not so lucky. I did this yesterday for about 20 reboots before I gave up.

Thanks anyways!

BTW Ive kept comming back to this thread as a guide through my dilemma since my phone is a 1010 build.

Does MIUI use GB bootloaders? I know I should probably know this, but a simple search with the phrase GB bootloader + MIUI gets me hours of results to read thru.

Off to the shack to get some resistors!:D
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
A lot of people use the AT&T gb bootloaders, including me. Once you get your phone up and running, you might want to try using Cezar's one click odin to install them.

[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
That actually flashes everything BUT bootloaders lol. When I get back home I can post a link to his one click bootloader package along with the 3-file odin package to go back to stock gb. That way you can just flash back to gb and then use Cezar's package to install the att gb bootloaders.

I should probably put the links to them into my sig too haha.

Also, free stuff is always awesome

And here's the method I use to get back to stock GB (the 3 File version):

[Captivate Android Development] 9BlackN*Black6:
I think i used the Heimdall one click when I went back to stock before switching to MIUI which is were i believe i lost my 3 br...

Just downloaded it, gonna read thru it some before i flash.

jig is made.

come on three button combo, oh how i miss you!
[Captivate Android Development] J-Wall:
Is slightly better battery life when running GB bootloaders with MIUI the only benefit?
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Honestly idk. Haven't tried the other bootloaders. I like the button combos better though :P

Herp derp Captivate XDA Premium.
[Captivate Android Development] 9BlackN*Black6:
so the use the bootloader one first then the 3 file^^^that one or vice versa, and this will give me my 3 button combo and be back to stock UCKF1 w/ ATT GB bootloader

If so is this what i should consider "flash back to stock" from now on instead of JF6?

ok so i plug jig in to get to DL mode and install bootloaders 1st?

The steps which you will need to take are as follows:

Download the package from here

Extract OneClickI897UCKF1-bootloaders.exe

Restart the phone in Download Mode

Run OneClickI897UCKF1-bootloaders.exe - with administrator permissions if on Windows 7 or Vista!

Connect the USB cable to the PC and the phone

Click "Start"

and then this next?

Odin 3 file

Instructions

0 Optional Reboot computer before beginning

0 Optional Convert to rfs (if on ext4)<----do i need to do this and if so how?

0 Optional Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, clear Voltage Setting(if overclocked/undervolted), do a factory reset.

0 Optional Remove sim card and external sd

Download package

Extract with 7zip

Open One click or Odin 1.81

**place files in corresponding slots for odin 3 file only**

Put phone into DL mode

Check to see Odin recognizes phone (you will see the yellow box)

Click Start

sorry for all the questions im just very afraid of bricking

I'll wait for offical AT&T Gingerbread and the miui devs to release an update of Miui on Gingerbread boot loaders. Play it safe.

There is nothing wrong doing it the way many of us have. Chances are you will be waiting a very long time to get what you would like from ATT and the Miui devs. Progress is being made without ATT.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Probably best to flash to JF6 (that's 2.2 right?) then flash the bootloaders. Then whenever you need to go back to stock just use the 3-file odin to stock gb. It's what I use and haven't had the slightest problem at all yet.

I would like to know the easiest way to do this. The way I for it is flashing a kernel with it baked in which can sometimes take an extra step or two. Is there any easier way? Rom manager doesn't work for me at all. Its not reliable I should say.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
To get CWM:

Pick a kernel with cwm baked in, in a .tar format (Odin won't flash a zip file).

Open Odin, click pda, select the kernel

Uncheck "Reboot"

Plug phone in (in dl mode)

When yellow box lights up, click start

When Odin finishes, pull battery.

Reinsert battery, 3 button combo into recovery. Flash ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I usually just use that method. I have talon 2.2r2 sitting in my flash folder from way back when haha. Either way, it's going to take an extra step.

back up and running with 3 br working!

Thanks again for the help pizz0wn3d!

What i did to fix 3 br

1.Plugged in jig.

2.flashed back to jf6 using odin

3.jigged back into DL

4.flashed att gb bootloaders(this fixed my 3br)

5.rooted by coping root.zip to phone then renaming update.zip then installed rom manager via adb with previously dl'd apk

6.flashed cwm inside of rom manager

7.adb reboot recovery

8.reinstall packages

9.adb reboot recovery

10.install zip from sd card(MIUI 1.11.4) adb recovery reboot

11.install zip from sd card(Glitch kernel)

a lil more playing around with adb and im sure i can reduce a few of these steps...

now i just hope i can make phone calls this week whenever i switch to a roaming tower:rolleyes:

sorry for being a noob. but how do i get it such that the notification toggles are at the top like they always were...or is that not possible?
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Awesome ;P

Though you could've shaved a lot of steps off if you just flashed flashed the bootloaders, then flashed a kernel with cwm 3+ (one in a .tar format, odin doesn't flash .zips), and finally flashed MIUI through recovery lol.

I don't think it would be possible without heavily moddifying the MIUI framework. I personally prefer it at the bottom, since I'm always toggling data on and off when I"m not at home and it's easier to reach the toggles when they're at the bottom.

The volume rocker doesn't change from Sound (volume levels) to Vibrate on the homescreens unless you go to Sound Settings.

Yeah, I pretty much had ZERO haptic on my soft keys OR any of my lockscreens, keyboards, etc when I flashed 11.4....

This haptic issue became apparent when 10.28 came out & still has yet to be fixed as far as I know. I personally like and need my haptic feedback so I'm just sticking with 10.14 until someone mentions its resolve which I'm not holding my breath for.
