I don't have the insurance haha, but oh well, I can wait :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Hopefully it won't be long, there's a minor update coming to fix some gingerbread issues and *hopefully* they will alleviate the bootloader issue for those subject to it.

If you are eligible I would recommend the insurance though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahach:
Hey guys i 100 percent sure they will not add the insurance unless it goes through a supervisors permission or something cuz sprint is strict about those things insurance must be added at time of purchase. cheers
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterbound:
Also, they are shipping with 2.3.3 now at least that is what I am hearing. Either way, you are kinda stuck until the source and root come out, hopefully soon because better kernels will come out then too!

Good luck

I got a brand new one this past Thursday and it had 2.2 on it. I got home and rooted it in no time
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
I take no responsibility if your phone becomes a brick. You should be fully aware of all risks associated with flashing a rom with bootloaders prior to flashing this.

If you are currently using a lagfix you should convert back to rfs prior to flashing just to be safe.

Happy Flashing!

Screenshots

Download Link

After using Odin 1 Click or flashing the rom from another thread you can root using the method below.

Root method:

1. Extract and open Odin3 v1.81.zip and place the zImage-root.tar file in the pda slot.

2. Connect your phone to your PC.

3. Put your phone into download mode (Same as eclair/froyo 3-button combo or adb reboot download)

4. Phone will boot and show the fugu fish.

5. Power off and put your phone into download mode.

6. Place the kernelKF1.tar file in the pda slot and hit start. Phone will reboot.

7. You are now rooted with Stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread.

Netflix work with this. See attachments for latest Netflix.apk

Credits go to

nikademus for the Fugu Kernel

lownox for the stock kernel packaged up nicely.

pparavas for screenshots

Also Samfirmwares.com for releasing the firmware and the odin packages.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
This is after flashing the ROM first correct?
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
for rooting? yes follow the kernel swap with odin.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
The reason I asked the question is some new folks might see your post and follow the directions without flashing the ROM first. Might want to put something in the OP stating people must be on stock KF1.
[Captivate Android Development] Ostate24:
Its Rooted now looks like im gonna have to give it a try.....
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
are we supposed to put the phone in download mode to flash z-imageroot.tar too?

[Captivate Android Development] steeldragonnyc:
can i flash from eclair with this??

currently on eclair wanting to try this..
[Captivate Android Development] jetpuck73:
Can't wait to give this a go!! Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Yes you can. Just remember you're flashing bootloaders so you run the risk of hard bricking your device.
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
It's the same risk thats envolved when using the odin 1-click to stock eclair. As long as your power doesn't go out or the mean magic mushroom people don't disconnect your phone in the middle of your phone flashing the bootloaders you'll be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] TigerEnigma:
That was quick!

Wolf,

Nicely done sir, Fugu worked!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Would now be a good time to talk about 3 button fix and GB bootloaders?
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
We have yet to see if there are any issues with the new GB builds disabling the 3 button combo. And about the bootloaders as I said earlier
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
When I flash bootloaders, I use a laptop with a fully charged battery, and after I hit start I step at least 5ft away from it.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I was thinking of the people flashing back to eclair bootloaders with the other one click.
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
I actually did this when testing the 1-click. Flashed to eclair stock then used the GB 1-click and then rooted with the fugu kernel swap.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
first of all, thank you wolf.

just a quick Q, based on your previous post, flashing back to JF6 is not required? i'm currently on S7, was wondering if i can flash your 1click on top of it. thanks
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
I have not tested flashing from one of the I9000 roms using this 1-click. This is a full wipe rom with bootloaders so it should work, but don't hold me to it. I would suggest flashing JF6 first just to be safe.
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
This is correct you will have stock rooted KF1 w/o CWM. If you want CWM flash DG's Cog Kernel from

HERE

.
[Captivate Android Development] singingmomof6:
Oh, I thought I was supposed to see the "SuperUser" app when it's rooted. At least that's how it's always been in the previous times I've rooted my phone. How can I tell when it's rooted or not with this fugu method? Thanks.

Oh, nevermind. I got it to work this time. Thanks for all your help!
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
When you reflash the stock kernel Super User will appear in your app drawer.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
You won't be able to tell until after you flash the kf1 kernel and the phone is completely rebooted. Once it does you should have superuser in the app drawer.
[Captivate Android Development] wretchedlocket:
OK, for some reason, I keep getting an error saying that apps can't be installed to either USB or SD card. Anyone have any ideas? I've cleared cache, wiped dalvik, cleared data from Market and Framework and fixed permissions. Nothing has fixed it

What's rfs? And how do I flash back to it?
[Captivate Android Development] tanmann69:
sorry for being a newbi but i have an att captivate with cognition v3.04 on it do i have to go back to stock or can i flash this on top?

model # sambsung-sgh-i897

firmware version 2.2

baseband version i896uxjl1

build # cognition v3.04

thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] kizildur:
I completed all steps up to #5. But after the flash with zImage-root.tar my phone does display fugu fish but cannot get it into a download mode. Phone alternates fugu fish and AT&T display but Odin cannot see it.

One step that I assumed is missed in the original instructions is to press start in Odin after step 3.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
rfs= Robust File System. Its the file system by samsung for your phone (like FAT or FAT32 for Windows). Unless you have converted to EXT4 (aka enabling voodoo or lagfix) you are already using it.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Pull your battery, then it should be the same as froyo/eclair. As for Odin, try reinstalling your drivers, but wait until you have dl mode to it.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
as long as your on rfs you should be ok to flash on top.
[Captivate Android Development] kizildur:
I pulled the battery but still the same result. When I press volume up and down and stick in usb battery picture is flashing and nothing else.

Regarding drivers, they were fine to flash with zImage-root.tar and as soon as it was done they needed reinstallation? My phone is not recognized on 2 different computers were it was fine right before I flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
With the phone stuck in a boot loop, I'm not sure if the computer will recognize it. As for dl mode, make certain both volume buttons are pressed. Its very easy to only press one thinking you have both of them. A jig would be perfect in this situation, if you had one.

Assuming your able to get dl mode, is best to plug your cable in a port on the back of the computer, or #1 on a laptop. Also try restarting your computer.
[Captivate Android Development] carbon12:
Started with Andromeda3 and did the one-click KF1 right over the top, Fugu worked as advertised and now have a nicely rooted 2.3.3 Captivate...

Thank you very much...

There is no reason that you should have to go back to JF6 to use this... it formats and partitions everything. If you get a boot looping Fugu, just take out the battery/USB cable and hold the volume buttons and stick the USB back in...

I dunno... doesn't seem like rocket science...

Again, thanks for the good work folks!
[Captivate Android Development] viewsonic11:
so to go to rfs, i just disable voodoo/ ext4?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Yes, from cwm our use the voodoo control app
[Captivate Android Development] Tintillo:
And I am back... I needed to change my Cappy twice. Now I have a 1010 with I897UCKB2 Stock froyo 2.2. How I go about doing I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click? Should I put the phone in download mode? If so, it refuses to do it. 3-click trick does not put me in download mode, but on Blue Android System Recovery <3e>, Samsung Recovery Utils. I tried the combination even with the sequence of a soft-brick (battery pull), nothing. I never did the adb method. Suggestions are welcome, specially now that the press release of ATT indicates that only Captivate 4G will get gingerbread.

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
There is no such thing as captivate 4G! I think it was a typo. I did contact a Samsung tech representative and she told me that captivate will get the gingerbread update. Is there a 4G version of captivate out there in the wild?

Download Link

Why the hell does it ask for a password after using the Download Link/Odin One Click?!

What's the password and how do you proceed?
[Captivate Android Development] Tintillo:
Thank you for your reply, hope the representative was right. But even is so, KIES does not recognize the version of software in my device: baseband version I897UCKB2/Firmware 2.2/Build number FROYO.UCKB2... when I asked ATT tech support about this situation, the answer was: let us change the phone.

Still my situation with my captivate remains, I cannot put it in download mode, if such is needed to run ODIin 1-click with the rom, as indicated in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] NISMOFO:
I just flashed all the way back to 2.1 Eclair so that I can install DesignGears Cognition 2.3.3...fresh start.

He has this posted as step 1. But I'm a little confused...should I already be on 2.3 before even getting to step 1?

Does this simply root an existing 2.3.3 or does it install "and" root 2.3.3?

+1 I had similar problem. Stuck in bootloop and for me none of the key combos would work. So I broke down and built a jig and tried it. Wow, how easy that was! Within 2 secs I was in download mode, plugged up USB to computer and ODIN'd back to stock to start over. Now whenever I want to enter dl mode, I don't even bother with key combos, I got my jig!

Did exactly as instructed (you missed one "click start" on 3). All steps completed successfully. In the end the phone reboots and the picture is broken and unrecognizable and keeps rebooting. Repeated process a few times after flashing back to stock eclair. How can I make it work?
[Captivate Android Development] erbsmokah:
its a old problem that resurfaces when you flash at&t software on the rogers model. there is an app on the market that does a workaround. its called time fix i think.

if you flash back to rogers froyo it goes away but as far as i know there is no real fix for it.

Cynogen mod is based off 2.2 bootloaders... but just to be safe flashing stock doesn't hurt and takes like 5-10 min.

[Captivate Android Development] poolemit:
i've been getting random restarts while on a call. maybe it has something to do with the proximity sensor. anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I've never used this (except as a stepping stone to flash booloaders) but you can always reflash using this one click that has no bootloaders. Maybe it was a bad flash?
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
Go back to stock first or it will brick ya. I just got my phone back from connexion2005 last week for this reason alone. I thought I was flashing to stock JF6, but I was indeed flashing KF1 strait from CM7. Odin refused to proceed at one point and my cappy never responded until I got it back in the mail. Next time I'll be careful to keep the One-Clicks in their own separate folders and I would advise anyone else to do the same.
[Captivate Android Development] zigc:
Stuck!

So here's my problem:

I've tried flashing this 3 times, and got the same results each time. I followed the directions to a T, and it looks like everything went through alright (in the "about phone" it says that it's i897, uckf, and it also has the at&t boot animation). Phone boots up just fine, and is operational. But when I try to flash the cog5 kernel in order to install CWM, I'm unable to. (Ultimately, I want to flash the Atomic Fusion rom)

Tried flashing the cog kernel through odin, but it didn't work. Tried flashing the kernel through the kernel flashing app, but that didn't work either. It just sticks with the stock kernel.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

The Kernel name will not change in the "About Phone". (no kernel source yet). After u Odin the Cog kernel use the button combo (volume +/- and power, release when u see at&t screen) to get into CWM Recovery to flash the Rom.

but no i didnt know i was supposed to do that... lol

although if you meant the kf1 kernal that the directions say to flash after the zimage for the fugu part then yeah i did that

I dont know if it works with current kernel but it did with Cog5 Beta2 kernel. You can flash it see if it works. Keep stock KF1 kernel around just in case.
[Captivate Android Development] planetjeff:
well, that didn't work too well...

Finally got around to flashing Cog5.2, and immediately ran into a problem! I started Odin KF1, plugged in the USB while holding down up/down rocker, it does go into download mode. Odin shows a yellow field that contains "0:[COM6]", but that's about it. However, the start button was enabled, so I clicked it. Here were the results (the first line below was before I clicked start):

And then a big red "FAIL!" displays. Any ideas? I've tried multiple times, same result. Could it be a USB driver issue? Wouldn't seem like it, because I can connect to the computer and explore the sdcard, that's how I backed up stuff.

Confound it! :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
I encountered the same problem, solved by:

Turn on your Odin KF1 1st.

Turn off your phone. Hold Volume Up + Down and insert the USB Cable(which had already connected to your PC). You phone will be in Download Mode and do not unplug your phone. Put your eyes on the screen and check the Odin KF1.

Once your Odin KF1 recognize your phone, click start immediately. Do not wait. FAST/SPEED is the key. Once turns YELLOW BOX, straight start.

I found this solution by Google-ing for many hours after softbricking my own phone.

In case you want to recover your softbrick(and don't allow you to get into Download Mode) and you don't have USB Jig, you can always use the One Click Unbrick by AdamOutler.
