[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Here are my doubts: Captivate on 2.2 no root (Don't doubt the captivate - it can handle it! Isn't autocorrect great?)

1)Is andromeda3 and phoenix unleashed based on android 2.2 or 2.3?(recent versions)

Andromeda3 is 2.2 based, and as much as I can see, so is Phoenix Unleashed.

2)I used Odin v1.0 to go back to stock,what is the difference betwen Odin 1.0 and Odin 1.7?

They're the same program, just different revisions. I can't say what specifically has changed between the two of the, but my guess would be 1.7 would have more features/bug fixes/etc.

3)Are there any other methods to go back to stock, I have read "Use odin 1.0 in case of emergency"?

Going back to stock will consist of using some version of Odin (one-click or otherwise) to reflash the stock rom to your phone

4)How can I back up my stock rom after root in the case I want to flash back and unroot?

From a rom standpoint, there's no need to back up your stock rom, unless you have settings done a specific way you want. Flashing to stock with automatically put you back at a stock, unrooted state. I would recommend doing a nandroid backup from the CWM recovery menu (assuming you have CWM) and copying the EFS folder to a safe location before moving forwards.

5)Do I need to go back to stock every time I want to flash a different rom?

Need to? No. Is it a good idea? There's debate on this, but in general, it's not a bad idea to flash back to stock (relative to where you are - GB/Froyo/Eclair) before flashing a new rom. It will help keep things tidy.

6)Andromeda3 has a ursa minor kernel do i need this to install there rom or can i just flash the rom without ursa minor?

To the best of my knowledge, it is included in the rom - there's nothing to do on your part, as it will flash with the rom.

7)In the phoenix unleashed thread it says to flash there custom rom use odin to go back to stock,does this mean i have to do the whole back to stock+root again?(Staring from scratch in other words)

If you're still on stock Eclair, you do not need to go back to stock. If you're on something else, you will need to go back to stock, but you shouldn't have to root, as most roms now work without being rooted.

8)Will flashing rage patch while using andromeda3 or phoenix unleashed mess something up?

It won't hurt anything - it just covers a security flaw.

I think that's all please put the same number of the question in front of the answer so I know witch answers witch.Thank you in advanced.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
Thank you this is very informative and what i meant by "Here are my doubts: Captivate 2.2 no root" is that my captivate is on stock 2.2 without root just to be clear.

I got one more question:

Whats is the EFS folder?

Im going to tell you my former situation so you can tell me what I did wrong:

I rooted my phone with super one click at the time

I used rom manager it was also supposed to save a backup of my stock rom

Somewhere in the CWM I was supposed to save the stock rom just in case something went wrong(i thought i did it correctly)

I flashed Cognition everything was great

I wanted to eliminate Cog when i went to CWM to find my back up of stock it didnt work it stayed in Cog

I have read that flashing other roms while having a custom rom isnt recommended that you need to go back to stock first

I was stuck on Cog all i did was update to the most current version

Till last week where i got the guts to use Odin to flash back to stock with some fear i might brick my phone

Now im looking to do it all over but do it right and not mess it up only with different rom
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
It actually doesn't sound like you did anything wrong - you may just be looking for things in the wrong places. The CWM backup, if I am correct, doesn't create a quick-swappable backup of your stock configuration. My understanding of how the nandroid backup works is that it creates a snapshot of the phone with a particular rom in place, so that if something bad happens, you can flash back to a clean version of that rom, apply the nandroid backup, and you'll be right back in business with your custom rom (Again, that's my understanding - someone more knowledgeable may chime in and give a better/more correct explanation).

If you made a backup using CWM, you should have a folder on your internal SD called "clockworkmod/backup", with a folder that has the date of the backup on it. I would copy that to somewhere safe (like your computer). Once you've done that, and assuming your phone is functioning normally as a phone, I would use a root-level file explorer (root explorer, adb pull command, etc.) to get a copy the folder "/efs" on your computer as well. (Take a look at the link in my signature about XDA terms and acronyms for what the EFS folder is).

Once you've done this, if you haven't already done so, back up your applications with Titanium backup. Then use the Odin one-click to get back to stock 2.1 Eclair. You won't have root access at that point, but that is not a problem. Once you're there, just follow the directions for the rom you want to flash - most will install without requiring the root permissions. The AIO captivate toolbox in the development thread is a good tool if you want something to walk you through the installation process (although it should really only be used on Froyo roms at this point).

PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: If you are going to flash a Gingerbread-based rom (Mosaic, Apex, etc), please read up and follow all directions extremely carefully. Flashing Gingerbread involves flashing the bootloaders on your phone, and if something happens during that portion of the flashing process, you will have a true hard brick - not a clay (recoverable error state), but a phone that you can't use.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
Thanks again

I don't plan on flashing 2.3 roms until the official 2.3 release come out

Theres a Odin that flashes stock 2.2 instead of 2.1 can I use that one instead?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I wasn't aware that existed - could you please provide a link?

Just to point you in the right direction, at the end of the flashing you're currently doing, what rom do you want to have on your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
Heres the link http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=186

The rom i want to use is either Andromeda3,Phoenix Unleashed or just go back to Cognition 4.5.3 or Cog 5 when its not in Beta.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Thanks for the link - good to know about that file.

In my opinion, you would have the best luck going back to stock Eclair (2.1). The reason I say this is because it gives you the cleanest path to getting to the custom Rom you want. 2.1 doesn't have the signed 3e recovery problems that can exist with a 2.2 stock rom, so you'll save yourself a lot of hassle there. Plus, the 2.1 stock rom to custom rom path has been followed hundreds of times on this forum, so it's had the chance to get pretty much all the kinks worked out by this point.

Again, just my opinion.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
I would gladly take your advice if it makes everything safer and easier but I upgraded my phone using Kies mini to 2.2 so will using odin to flash back to stock 2.1 cause any problems since its a downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
You shouldn't have any problems with the 2.2-2.1 transition if you use the one click Odin back to stock. The dangerous move is going from 2.3 to any other version, as that involves flashing the bootloaders.

For maximum safety, just include these items on your checklist prior to starting:

- Nandroid backup from CWM

- EFS backup (copying that folder to a safe location)

- Titanium backup of your apps (copy titaniumbackup folder to safe place)

- Back up pictures/music/other items you want to save

Once you've done that, use the one-click Odin to get to a clean stock. From there, you should be good to go with flashing a custom rom. Just make sure you read and follow all directions in the custom roms' post. (If there's nothing there, follow this guide.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
Eh i got it into download mode and i pressed start on odin but i think its stuck did i have to root first and then use odin im kinda scared right now

Edit:its showing a phone a warning sign and a Pc like connect phone to pc
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I know it's nerve racking, but as long as you weren't on a Gingerbread rom, you'll be ok. Rooting isn't required - Odin is automatically "rooted".

A quick questions while you're waiting - When you plugged it in, did Odin recognize a phone was attached (did a yellow text box show up saying COM:4 or something similar)? It should look similar to the attached file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
Eh yes its i managed to trouble shoot it and its reboting everything is ok and yes it did show a yellow text box as of right now i just need to pop in the sym and reboot i have succesfully flashed 2.1 i just need to root and get CWM thru Room manager correct me if im wrong.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I'm not that familiar with Rom manager, but the general idea of getting root (maybe through the super one click root application, or from the CWM recovery menu) and installing CWM recovery (however you need to accomplish that) is the right first steps to getting to a custom rom.

Good luck with the flashing process.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
I just rooted now all I need is CWM and thank you for all your help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Glad it worked out. Don't be afraid to ask more questions in the future, as a reply to a question you've asked could help someone else with the same question out.

permissions need to be set at rw-r--r-- or an upside down L on the left side in root explorer if you don't understand that.

[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
aren't those carrier branded ? (not that i cant remove the branding from them) but besides different radio and some carrier specific apps i don't think there are any differences between libs / apps. i'll run a diff between them to see if i'm right
[HTC Sensation] rahan95:
The huge difference between 1.28 and 1.34 that I've been running for 3 days is battery life, way better on 1.34

I flashed the 1.34 O2 but to my great surprise, no sign of branding at all, neither a splash screen nor a single app !
[HTC Sensation] xdafalter:
branded, yes, the other I don't know but I would like to think so. Maybe one should look if bugs are still present in higher RUUs. I.e. I find it really annoying, that I can't start my camcorder over the lockscreen, a function I was really looking forward to (Vodafone DE RUU 1.27.162.1).
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
battery life is given by combination of radio / ril , 1.34 has newer radio and maybe thats the reason, but keep in mind that if for you is better for other it may be worse. All depends on signal strength and on which carrier is used

i have same ruu version and i can start both camera or camcoder from lockscreen.

and i cant see differences between newer and older ruu only if reported by users, i'm stuck with Vodafone ruu DE.
