[Captivate General] samzoferrari:
Hi guys,

Is there anyway that I could have two bootloaders in one phone? If so, how do I remove one?

I accidently flashed GT-I9000 bootloader onto my captivate and now my phone thinks that it's GT-I9000.

In bootup, a screen of "Galaxy GT-I9000 Samsung" stays on for 5 sec, and then AT&T logo&animation shows up after that.

Below is the full explanation how I ended up with this situation. It's kinda long, so if you know the solution to this problem, I guess you don't need to read all of it.

Anyways, thanks in advance!

So Here's what happened. I was upgrading my (rooted/froyo) captivate to gingerbread (continuum v5.4.1) In the instruction, it suggested to return to stock so I did that and my phone went back to eclair.

Then there was another optional suggestion saying that "only if you don't have bootloaders - install JVB bootloaders" and that's where my problem began.

I downloaded the 'galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5' and flashed it in Odin and my phone now thinks that it's GT-I9000. For a moment, I thought my phone was bricked, but I managed to turn it back to 2.1.

but still whenever I turn on my phone the 'Galaxy S GT-I9000 Samsung' screen shows up for like 8 seconds and then move onto AT&T screen.

Phone still operates and runs on eclair, but funny thing is every time I want to use "download mode" I have to press 'Volume down key + power, which is for Vibrant or Fascinate, instead of holding both volume up + down keys, which is for Captivate.

Same thing for "recovery mode" I have to press down VOL down + power button. This clearly shows that the phone thinks it's Vibrant, not Captivate.

Please Please Please can anybody tell me how to revert it?
[Captivate General] Jemack:
Read the *definitive guide to bricking* sticky in captivate general. Should have the answers you seek.
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
+1.

What you are experiencing is an i9000 bootloader and an i897 ROM with the original kernel screen. If you truly had an i9000 boot.bin and i897 sbl.bin that phone wouldn't come one without my help... ;). Anyhow, search ODIN 1 Click, perform the steps and you will be back to normal.

[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
oh he did, but you know....you can never annoy too many people on xda right?
[Captivate General] xredjokerx:
this almost could pass for trolling.. XD
[Captivate General] Dani897:
wow. ok you have i9000 gingerbread bootloaders. you need to use odin "oneclick" to replace them with captivate bootloaders. only the oneclick installer has what you need. but be warned. some phones may need to be recovered a second time with odin 1.7 depending on build date because ondin oneclick fails. others lose access to downloadmode and recovery mode and also need another flash with a 3button fix. the 3button fix can not be applied before you use odin oneclick only after. if it is aplied before then you will have a brick! and in that situation you will need to play dumb and send it to samsung, or you will need to send it out to get jtag flashed independantly.

Hi there

after every phone call, my streak goes to the dialer screen. the strange thing is that before the update he would return to the screen where I was previous to the call.

very anoying

anyone else with this problem?

Theres also an app "CallHistory",, when installed, your streak goes to a call log screen with four tabs at the top:incoming; outgoing; missed and custom . You can chose which tab to default to after a call ends. I like it b ecause stock displays all calls mixed in one list instead of categorized.

After the call is over, and you've been returned to the dialer screen, just press the back button to return to your previous task/activity.

[Defy Android Development] Darmach:
Hi guys

I have installed Froyo 177 nordic, on 2.51 Eclair using nandroid with fixed sbf. I replaced framework-res.apk with modified one, phone was dead after rebooting.... So i entered bootloader, connected with RSDLite and tried to flash sbf of my original Era PL 2.51 firmware.

And now weird thing. Flashed ok - but it appears after reboot that im back on 2.1 with all things installed but system unusable... And ofc no phone connectivity....

What should i do now? I thought after a clean sbf flash i will get clean 2.51 ROM...
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
This question is not for dev forum, next time try on general. And this is happening because you forgot to clear cache / wipe data before flash. Just reboot in Stock Recovery (power + vol down) and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache.

Hi all.

I have htc G1 with:

I am running old SuperD 1.11 and I want to upgrade to newest version of android. Should I do an upgrade to 10.33.2003 and modify partitions with Firerat script or do an upgrade to DeathSPL ?

Is it safe ?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkuzad:
according to ur links and this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6510019&postcount=76

He only mentions a flashing from RC29 not from HardSPL. So should I do an downgrade first ?

I am a bit confused but if I think correctly I should:

1.Do an upgrade to 1.33.2003

== Installing 1.33.2003 from stock RC29** SPL: ==

> From RC29 telnetd to root as usual
> install ra recovery
> flash the spl_1_33_2003.zip
> reboot system when prompted

2.Do

fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

(I dont need recovery flashing becouse I have it)

and

fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot

3.Flash the new rom from recovery

4.Eventually flash the ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip

Is it correct ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
no need to downgrade, RC29 is just a baseline reference point

since you already have root, a custom recovery and a 2.x radio you can proceed directly to flashing the 1.33.2003 SPL

one you have 1.33.2003 SPL you will have full fastboot functionality

you could choose to stick with 1.33.2003 and use Firerat's cMTD with SPL Spoofing and keeping all of the fastboot goodness.

The 1.33.0013d SPL doesn't have full fastboot functions :(

BUT the extra 14mb ram is well worth it, you will just have to use recovery to flash new recoveries or if the worst come to pass and recovery is broken, you would need to downgrade the SPL using the Orange.nbh in Ezterry's post, fastboot a working recovery and redo the 2825 radio and 1.33.0013d again

Most, if not all, the current ROMs support the 1.33.0013d SPL and 2825 radio combo

and even if the ROM doesn't it is not too difficult to simply flash a compatible Kernel

And nothing to stop you using cMTD either

btw, go straight for the 2825 radio instead of radio-2.22.27.08.img

it is newer , just ignore what everyone says about US / EU and battery drain

Both Radios are Global, 2825 quickly replaced 2708 during roll out as a security update

and battery life is the same on 2825 and 2708
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
my choice would be to un-root first just so you dont mix anything up you forgot about..

first i would back up anything you want to keep including whats on your sd card so you can un partition it. all you need to do is re partition it and set swap as 0 and ext as 0.

now Just flash this update.zip in recovery first, than apply DREAIMG.nbh in fastboot mode.

DREAIMG.nbh http://www.4shared.com/file/9izdCbvo/DREAIMG.html

update.zip http://www.4shared.com/file/ePnmmoxA/update.html

simple as that! and you are back on 1.0 original stock firmware.

now update to 1.5 http://www.4shared.com/file/EyiKXmTd/update.html

now from here you root again.. download these files.

flashrec http://www.4shared.com/file/ABXfQQ1H/flashrec-113-20091107-2.html

radio http://www.4shared.com/file/jGTeRvfs/G1-radio-2_22_23_02.html

spl http://www.4shared.com/file/nJkB58Qf/Latest_G1_SPL.html

recovery http://www.4shared.com/file/zCVPjMUz/recovery-RA-dream-v170-cyan.html

place all the files on the root of your sd

now go on your phone download io file manager from the market, allow permissions and everything open the program and flash the flashrec file.

now press backup recovery let finish workin.. than type in the box

sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img

now press flash recovery let it work and your good! now power off device and reboot in recovery and do a wipe!

now you can flash the radio! do another wipe after reboot into recovery

and now flash the spl file! and now you should be able to flash tha Danger SPL

http://www.4shared.com/file/iYzhTaMc/spl-signed.html

just do same thing place on root of sd do a data wipe and flash that file and you will have danger spl and you can re partition your sd.. my prefference 128mb swap and 1024mb ext4

also you can now upgrade to newer radios like 2.22.28.25 just look arounf xda for the how to
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
a complete waste of time

radio is compatible so flash 1.33.2003

then fastboot 2825 radio and 1.33.0013d SPL

then flash rom

no point messing about reverting to stock and putting yourself in a brick risk situation

that would be a completely stupid noob move

(anything above 1000mhz was not tested)

1000mhz <-- 950mV

800mhz <-- 825mV

500mhz <-- 550mV

300mhz <-- 500mV

Also, a question to everyone, what are some of your unstable symptoms from UV? Since I've never had any rebooting issues with my g2x, I am not sure if some of the symptoms I was experiencing is from UV'ing or from the kernel. If you gone under the UV limit, does your phone just freeze or would it autoreboot?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
UV will more than likely freeze or you will reboot... UV typically just makes everything really unstable, you might get stuck in a bootloop and have to reflash

oh and a precaution to those using eb1.0.4 + trinity kernel. I set my max voltage for 1000mhz (my max. frequency as well) too low, and the phone autoreboot on startup twice and then did a factory reset itself :p This happened twice so be aware

[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Anyone find that their battery has actually gone down while UV'ing? I'm finding after a full charge, the first 30% has been quicker by almost an hour. Not a really scientific method of testing, but I do just about the same thing every morning (email, txt, etc.) left over from the night before. That first 30% has a lot of screen off time, which will lower the speed to 300Mhz using PMCpu.

I'm going to up the voltage to at least 700 for 300Mhz and see how that fairs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
--EB 1.0.4 FROYO (gutted removed live wallpapers, wifi calling, tmo stuff)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EsotericSYN:
Odin3 one click back to stock. Your fine that's just the kernel bootloader. If you want continuum it will have the GT-I9000 bootloader, but there are other roms and kernels without it. The odd button combinations you have to use are part of the kernel as well. Flash stock then I suggest flashing Cognition after if it will not revert to stock kernel. You can flash froyo over eclair without having to update bootloaders. Also if your running a AT&T Captivate you should be having that boot animation before the GT-I9000 anyways. Sorry if this doesn't help your problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samzoferrari:
thanx! i guess that's not a major issue right? as long as there's no problem using the phone, i'm cool with that although it takes extra 4 ~ 5 sec to boot up. Anyways, thanks for your reply.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
First, the new button combos are not part of the kernel. They are part if the secondary bootloader. If you think you are going to flash another gingerbread rom in the future, just leave it as is. They are compatible with 2.1/2.2 roms, with the exception of Cognition. DO NOT FLASH COGNITION UNTIL YOU ARE 150% CERTAIN YOU HAVE FROYO/ECLAIR BOOTLOADERS. The reason is, cog adds a secondary bootloader(sbl.bin) to its flash. If you try mixing aGB primary bootloader with a froyo secondary, you will have a permanent, can't recover, $500 paperweight, brick. Also, do not try to use the odin with 3 button fix, for the same reason above.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EsotericSYN:
Secondary as in the 3rd animation because I highly doubt that.You should have an AT&T screen, then your galaxy s bootloader, then your rom bootloader. the rom bootloader animation is changable and does not include the power button volume up combo. I'm not a developer, but based on my experience you CAN use odin with 3 button fix over contiuum and then flash cognition after. I highly doubt there will be a brick. For example, you want the new cm7 build. You can flash odin 3 button, flash cmw through rom manager or a zip with 2e recovery. Then flash cognition. you are at the 2.2 bootloader now. You can now begin to work towards the 2.3.4 without any issues. And there are different requirements for different gingerbread roms. some are 2.3.3 and some are 2.3.4 and you CAN NOT flash between the two.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EsotericSYN:
It's no big deal don't let this guy make you think your about to brick if your not 150% sure. There are also different bricks and this could cause a soft which is also recoverable by odin.
