I think I gave out the award too soon.

The last post was stupid. This one is not only stupid, but you fabricated an arbitrary set of completely fictional numbers to back your undeniably ridiculous viewpoint.

Bravo.

Because I tried to package boot.bin into a CWM package, which apparently doesn't work. I've flashed with Odin more times than I can count, without problems because I'm not a bumbling idiot that can't read.

What our oh-so-intelligent friend over there fails to understand (among many things, apparently) is that the one click Odin, or otherwise flashing to stock, or flashing any full ROM with Odin flashes the bootloaders, and as such is no more or less risky than flashing gingerbread bootloaders. And if you have half a brain cell, it's not very risky at all.

[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
Its pointless to flash the WRONG bootloaders. The proper way is to adapt the kernel or WAIT until the official bootloaders are released.

My wife hates the amount of time I spend on this. Hopefully it wont be much longer. I have sources which I cannot disclose that may lead to a DIY method of unbricking via MMC(external SD) or a cheap solderless connection. Seriously... I9000 is causing unnecessary cardownload I'm not making up those figures. I got them from another dev who released a bootloader. The numbers came from complaints versus downloads.

On a related note I have used Odin more times than I can count and because I throughly read and study what I'm doing BEFORE I actually do it I have never once bricked my phone. I have never used nor studied Heimdall but I'm sure some noob somewhere has found a way to brick his/her phone using it...
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Actually the reality of it is you are more (highly) prone to bricking with odin from lack of knowledge. But... Every boot loader flash is a risk of bricking. Irregardless of who you are or how much you know. The window of failure is tiny, but exists none the less.

It's blatantly obvious if you read the older rom posts when most people flashed back to stock for every rom flash. And again more recently when people started doing it again after flashing 2.3 roms.
[Captivate General] pwnerman:
I'm pretty stupid and I've never bricked using Odin plus you only have to flash the ginderbread bootloaders once am I correct? So what's the big deal

Believe that flashing of Bootloaders is similar to flashing the computer's BIOS.

It'll work most of the time but when it doesn't.

BAM, dead motherboard. (Sh*t happens :p)

Thus, we need something that doesn't flash the BIOS. (bootloader)

Heimdall offers that.

This has gone way off subject, but it its indisputable that the number of brick reports have exploded since gingerbread roms have been available. Obviously most are user error, but most who come here do not know what they are doing. You open development and 90% of the roms now ask you to flash boot loaders. For a noob it is a mine field. True odin one click always flashed your boot loaders, but they are the ones that come with the device, and contains both. How many bricks have there been due to miss matching primary and secondary boot loaders?

I just don't agree that there is not a level of unneeded risk in the gb roms, but as always flash at your own risk
[Captivate General] bryan95502:
Well Said!
[Captivate General] Fate-Silver:
I know this should be great.

But, I don't think it'll be greater than any Custom ROM we have currently.

However, this release is good. So, our beloved developers here will have new source codes for better Custom ROM builds. :D:)

I am hoping more Gingerbread Custom ROMs without GB Bootloaders will be released soon because of this new source codes. :p

Can't play with something that isn't there yet (as of 8:15 CT). Interestingly, they don't even have the test or released Froyo ROMs available either.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
That is because they don't have the channels to get those US ROMs before. Hence the US portion was shut off until now. They tend to have more European ROM leaks probably because that's where the site operates.

Bootloaders are back to what it use to be with eclair/froyo. Vol Up and Down then power for recovery and hold vol up and down then put in the USB cable for download mode.

Why did they make the bootloaders different between Captivate/ I9000
[Captivate General] lownox:
oh nevermind... computer crapped out. :|

The Third button on the i9000 is the button we don't have. The i9000 firmware was not designed for our phones. It's lucky it worked.

The guy I responded to said that 3 button works again. I reminded him of the differences between i9000 and captivate. He was running a i9000 bootloader, ROM, and kernel. On the i9000 the three buttons are vol up, power and a button we don't even have. That's why.three button works again.

Let the pros play with it for a bit. They are likely to put it in an easy-to-install package and come up with a reliable way to root it. In fact, there's no point in us mere mortals doing anything with this until we can root it.

[Captivate General] nakedninja42:
Started with stock eclair flashed to KF1. It does load the bootloaders, I was watching it and the two bootloaders that are flashed are flashed at different times one before flashing factoryrfs and the second after that. It would be VERY WISE to start at stock for that fact alone I think.
[Captivate General] chrislj:
The bootloader's "boot.bin" and "sbl.bin" are both inside the "CODE_I897UCKF1_CL273832_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5" package but I didn't pay attention if they flashed or not. I too returned to stock eclair prior to flashing to gingerbread.

[Captivate General] nakedninja42:
Thank you Thank you!!!

I am rooted, busybox, and SU installed! Here we go!!

Good bye to bloat!!

This was accomplished using the fugu kernel and then back to stock. I can make a write up later since I am suppose to be paying attention to class. But I honestly think that if you can't figure out how to flash and root without asking millions of questions, you should wait until someone releases a custom ROM. This was very easy for me because it makes sense, but what is easy for me is not for others.

So far I think its running great but I have a feeling this is not final for ATT. Audio from my Car Dock did not work until I installed xcal sound redirect. When KB1 dropped it worked out of box. Also the software for the Car Home and Desk Home are not installed either like stock KB1.

I personally always remove my external memory and sim card before using odin. It is not needed as people will post but neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.

1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm

2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.

3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image in post link for reference) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14785219&postcount=75

4) Flash fugu kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010141 Look for the step two that says download odin or heimdall, select the ODIN (well the version your going to use).

5) Flash stock kernel (see post link) credit to lownox for helping me on that http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14791212&postcount=116

6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)

Maybe a stupid question, but what is the recovery with this firmware. 2e,3e, something else? Can cwm be used after update.zip like before. Once on stock, couldn't you just flash custom rom whether it be gb or froyo, after rooting with discussed method? As long as no boots are involved of course.

This is 3e recovery and rooting method used in eclair does not work and getting CWM on is little bit different since its 3e.
