[Captivate Android Development] zinger010203:
So I downloaded the ota update for my phone without realizing that would get rid of my unlock code when trying to use the SGS unlocker in the market place. If I use odin one click to flash back to the old firmware will I be able to find this code?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
No. It's gone.
[Captivate Android Development] zinger010203:
Is there any way to get it back?
[Captivate Android Development] Sqdnguns:
Only if you had a backup.
[Captivate Android Development] zinger010203:
Crap. Is there another method to unlock without having to go through ATT?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I got mine from a /dev/block/bml3 dump. I'm pretty sure the one there gets wiped too, though.
[Captivate Android Development] zinger010203:
Thanks for all the help guys. I guess I'll just badger At&t until they cough it up.

Hi All,

I am from Singapore and i have a problem with my SGS and i hope someone here from XDA can help me.

I have been flashing and trying the firmwares here but then i encountered an issue, my SGS is not completely booting and after the samsung logo i will only receive vibrations from my phone.

What i did is, i went to the download mode and used this once click but i did not noticed that this is for CAPTIVATE ONLY!!!

Now my phone is stocked in AT&T logo, just looping back and forth.. i cant even go to DOWNLOAD mode and when i plug it in USB my phone turns off..

Please EXPERTS, need your help..

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
This one-click flasher is bad because it can render download mode by volumes+usb inoperable. I don't know if this applies to whatever model phone you are using, but people should be aware of it.

Your phone should be off before you plug in the USB. For captivate, you turn off the phone, hold both volume buttons, while holding the volume buttons plug in the USB cable and continue to hold (a second or two) until the phone enters download mode. For i9000, I believe the buttons for download mode are volume down and power (and maybe home), but flashing the wrong firmware can cause different key mapping so maybe try volume up instead of down, for example.

You probably should just ask in a forum specific to your model phone.

boot loop

So, been having this issue with the phone.

Flashed with Odin, and now the phone starts to boot, Shows the AT&T screen, then black screen and back to the AT&T screen again. and cycles, and cycles, no apparent end.

Also, when I pull the battery and put it back in. Then try to put the phone into download mode. It doesn't go into download mode. It starts to show the battery charging animation then, blank screen, then trys to show the animation again, and then cycles back and forth from that.

To further help the trouble shooting, yes I have tried every key combo to try to enter download mode. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanx
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Did you flash with the one-click flasher? That thing should come with a giant warning label. You may be screwed unless you want to make a hardware download mode dongle.
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
yes

/facepalm

I'm pretty damn handy with a soldering iron. Could you shoot a link my way to what I would need, and a how to?

its not my phone, so no biggie lol

Please help

Alright, I've tried this a million times. I don't know what in the world is going on and it's frustrating me.

I got my Captivate yesterday.

Rooted using oneclick root for 2.1

Installed Rom Manager, etc, buncha apps.

Backed up using Rom Manager

Then used Rom Manager to install Cognition.

Didn't like it, I want back stock.

So, I go into Rom Manager and try to restore backup of the 2.1 rom

Screws the whole thing up, won't go past ATT boot screen.

I used Odin3 to get back to stock...2.2?

I don't want 2.2. I want 2.1.

I then want to restore my backup.

Is there any way to do this? Odin is NOT working for me...:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] pinakp:
works great

works great. the key combo never worked for me. adb is the way to go.

1. Connect USB

2. Turn on Device

3. type "adb reboot download" at cmd prompt

4. Click 'Start' on ODIN

5. Wait...wait...

6. Life is Beautiful again

Thanks guys.
[Captivate Android Development] kytrauma:
I had the same thing happen, but fortunatly i was able to use odin one click to go back to stock and then use rom manager to restore my backup.

only thing now is under phone info it says

baseband version is I897UCJF6

but build number is ECLAIR.UCJH7

??
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
A known issue. You can't restore stock Rogers firmware from AT&T that way.

You did? Are you are meaning to ask a question or state a fact? Since there is no stock 2.2 firmware, you may have used Odin3 to flash 2.2, but I'm not clear whether you succeeded or in doing so or you are asking if you should.

Odin doesn't work? Can you put the firmware into download mode? Does Odin work, but you just don't know how to use Odin to go back to stock?

A bit of advice, if you don't know what you're doing, do not ever use the one-click flasher referred to in the title of this thread. This may not apply to Rogers models, but many AT&T Captivates can lose the ability to be started in download mode using buttons. If that happens and you have a bad flash then you'll be bricked unless you can get hold of a test jig.

So if you can get the phone into download mode then you want this firmware: I896UXJI2.

If you think you can't get into download mode, you may be doing it wrong. Try putting the phone in recovery mode. If you can do that by holding both volume buttons while powering up the phone then download mode should work as well. I can't see anything you've done that would have disabled up+down+USB download mode unless you used one-click and, as I said, I'm not even sure if Rogers Captivate phones can have it disabled the way some AT&T phones can.
[Captivate Android Development] random1204:
Alright, I can get into download mode.

It's an AT&T Captivate...can I ask why I should put Rogers firmware on it?

Also, I questioned stock 2.2, because I know it isn't, but it's not anything else.

Right now, it has 2.2 on it. Baseband: I897UCJI6

Build Number: Froyo.UCJI6

So for ATT, what do I do to make it go back to exactly how it was out of the box?

...please tell me it's possible...:(
[Captivate Android Development] d1g1talphyre:
many thanks, worked perfectly
[Captivate Android Development] RexEscape:
Easy. Download the "Odin3 One-Click Downloader" file from Page 1 of this thread. Here it is again: http://www.thevod.org/misc/captivate/I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.rar Uncompress it and launch the EXE file.

For AT&T Captivate Only:

*** Make sure you've launched I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe ***

1. Backup anything you want to save on your phone.

2. Turn off your phone and remove the Battery, SIM card, and MicroSD (if applicable).

3. Insert only the Battery.

4. Press and Hold only the Volume UP and DOWN buttons on the phone (not the Power button) as you plug the USB cable.

5. The phone enters Download mode with a triangular construction sign. You will also see "Added!!" in the message window of Odin3. (See pic)

6. Click Start and watch the magic happen.

When all is done, unplug, turn off, insert SIM and MicroSD, turn on and tweak away. Also, find and download "Android ID Changer". Install and launch. Write down your unique Android ID that is given to you. You'll need it in the future when flashing Cog ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Um.... I can't think of a reason. Somehow I must have confused my threads. The warning about one-click still stands. If your phone is batch 1007 then you shouldn't lose up+down+usb download mode. Most 1008 will. I'm not sure about 1009. The firmware here is safer.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Nice. I'm waiting on a micro USB breakout board to come so I can build one. (Wasn't in a hurry since I don't have a bricked phone... yet, and I didn't feel like mangling a perfectly good cable.)
[Captivate Android Development] RexEscape:
The AT&T Samsung Captivate came with Android 2.1 so... if you've done some flashing and want to get it back to "out of the box", aka "stock" ROM, that's the file to use. It is the original ROM that came with your phone and it's the file you're looking for.

BTW, something tells me you didn't do it exactly like what I've outlined because, if you said you've cleared out your data and login info, why does your phone show Android 2.2 ?
[Captivate Android Development] random1204:
I backed up the phone with ROM manager while I was still on stock. Then I installed the latest Cognition 2.3 and found that it just wasn't what I wanted. So then I went into ROM manager and tried to restore my backup. That didn't work at all. It did its thing and then when it restarted, it hung on the ATT boot screen. It wouldn't go anywhere. I figured out how to put it in download mode by holding vol up and down and plugging the cable in and then used Odin to try to flash it back to the original firmware as that's what it says it does. However, now I'm stuck on whatever version of 2.2 is on here. I just want to return to out of box. Is there any hope?
[Captivate Android Development] RexEscape:
What Odin file did you use? It must be the one I mentioned earlier in this thread. It must look like the one pictured at the bottom of Page 105. It must say:

I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe

I'm running out of ideas. Try this last one. With your phone On, set to USB Debugging, launch the Odin3 file (I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe). Plug your phone and wait for "Added!!" in the message. Click on Master Reset WARNING!!! IT WILL ERASE EVERYTHING IN YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD. THE EXTERNAL SD CARD IS SAFE BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PLAY IT EVEN MORE SAFE, JUST REMOVE IT. Then, reload 2.1 by following the steps at the bottom of Page 105.

Master Clear

I was able to flash the stock rom back on to my Captivate, but how long does it take for the master clear? I've been sitting here for a while.

I'm sitting here:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

I do need to be in download mode for this too right?

Help!!! Odin did not work!!!

I was working on my dad's AT & T Captivate after I successfully unlocked, rooted, and flashed my own phone to cognition 2.1.6. I was not aware that he had the revision 1009, so after I installed cognition using ROM Manager and reboot, I get the AT & T boot page and it kept flashing this same whit logo page. So I decided to flash it back to factory ROM using the ODIN 3 I897UCJF6-Final-OCD-REV0 and did it without problem the first time. However, it's showing me the same white logo screen. When I decide to do it over, I realized I can't get into download mode anymore. I tried all key combination and it just won't work. Please help me by giving me advise. Thank you!!!
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Pull the battery, sim card, and external SD card. Start ODIN3. Install the battery. Press and hold the volume buttons. Connect to the PC.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
This is why the one-click flasher should be deleted from the interwebs. I assume adb doesn't see the phone.

If you're handy with a soldering iron you and make a jig that should get you into download mode. I made one today and it works great.
[Captivate Android Development] ironmanz8:
I did it many times, but all it's showing me is a battery screen, shows the phone charging. Do you know any other things I can do?
[Captivate Android Development] adasdes:
I was also unaware that there were newer revisions of the Captivate with no button combos for download mode.

I was trying to do a stock restore on a 1009 version and Odin froze. When I restarted it I got the phone+!+computer error, but I figured no biggie since I had this happen on my own Captivate and I got out of it with no problems.

That was 4 hours ago. I've tried every single key\usb cable combination I have been able to find but I didn't get anywhere. So you can add another brick to the Odin+New Revision pile.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Not really your fault. People keep blindly recommending one-click instead of this stock firmware that won't remove your button combos.

Here's the unbrick jig I built today:
[Captivate Android Development] ironmanz8:
Please help!!!

Want to know if you have any advise if I still can't get into download mode, not even with the 3 button fix method. It would only show battery charging as soon as I plug in USB. Non of the odin I tried can recognize my phone anymore. Please help!!!
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Just to make sure - you removed everything, including the battery, then put the battery back in, started ODIN, held down only both volume buttons, and inserted the usb cable?

Have you tried a different cable and different ports on your computer? What OS are you running?
[Captivate Android Development] ironmanz8:
I am using XP. The thing is the first time I used the ODIN one click, I can push both volume button and plug in USB and enter the download mode. But after I was told the phone was restored, I reboot and all I see is the same AT&T logo page looping. when I tried to do it gain, I pressed down volume button and plug in USB, all I see is battery charging screen. I tried all the button combinations I can find but nothing worked.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
The only time I've seen the battery charging screen was when I was holding down all three buttons instead of just the volume buttons. If removing the battery and sim/sd cards, then reinstalling the battery and holding down both volume buttons and connecting your phone to your PC doesn't bring up the download mode, you might want to build the jig that opcow linked.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
When you start the phone with the usb plugged in do you hear the "da-dunk" sound windows makes when it detects the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] ironmanz8:
I made sure the phone was off, I held on to the volume keys only(not power key), and plug in USB. All I see is a huge battery in the middle of the screen charging. And no, it lack the da-dunk sound. I pluged in my other captivate rev. 1007 to test USB cable and port, everything is fine.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yeah I meant while the phone is boot-looping, but since you flashed before with the one-click I'm guessing you won't hear it. I was just thinking you might have a chance to quickly send the adb reboot download command quickly when the phone was detected. It may be that your only option is a jig.
[Captivate Android Development] ironmanz8:
I am sorry, I am fairly new to Android. Can you please explain what a jig is? Thanks and sorry for the dumb question...
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Here's what a jig is:

There's a picture of mine in this post. It was made with breakout board, but you can make one using a micro USB cable.
[Captivate Android Development] ironmanz8:
Thanks, I'll try to remove battery for more than 5 minutes. As for jig, i think it's way out of my league. I'll probably contact AT & T for a warranty replacement.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
You do know that flashing an unauthorized rom voided your warranty, right? ;)

Well, I didn't successfully flash it. besides, it's not even bootable now. Do you think that they would know what I did to it?

Hey everyone I need some help. I'm trying to get my phone back to stock with the Odin One-Click, but I keep getting stuck at "Get PIT for mapping..."

I had it like that for about 3 hours (I dozed off).

[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
I am sorry to hear that friend. As mentioned before, i would start over with the whole process:

1) Re-download Odin (I prefer the stand-alone Odin vs the 1 click Odin from the OP) (see below)

2) Re- install the Drivers specific to your PC

3) Instead of using the front side usb ports, use the back <---this method somehow works better for others (I have had No issues with my front ones)

4) If none of the above works, try a different pc = follow steps 1-3 on new pc.

5) Make ABSOLUTE sure that your phone is Debugging mode

6) Your phone has an advantage: being able to go into Download mode. If i were you, to be on the safe side, I would rather use the stand-alone Odin. It has been said that the 1 click may in fact remove the download/ recovery 3-button combo....its not supposed to....but it has happened. Check link here:

Good Luck!

When you say JH7 to stock, you are referring to going back to JF6 not Ji6. Unless i missed something, the only 2 baseband versions that I am aware of is JF6 and JH7. I know this because i had a bricked phone sent to Samsung. Once returned, my phone no longer had JF6....it had JH7 (with the added features that was sent OTA). I didnt like it so manually flashed back to the original stock JF6/ 2.1/ Eclair. Anything else besides those two would be results of flashing the Leaked Froyo roms = which means NOT stock = no unlock code given when trying to unlock. In order for you to get the unlock code is to BACK to JF6 and try it then. <----Me from experience.

Curious: Is Ji6 a new baseband for Eclair now? I thought i read somewhere that it was more of the Froyo based roms. :confused:

you SHOULD still be able to get the unlock code with JH7. Have you even tried it yourself? I say this because i had 2 captivates at one point (one JF6/ one JH7). I got Both unlock codes + android id with no issues. :p
[Captivate Android Development] Machupo:
So -- exciting day for my Captivate:

- Had a rooted JF6, tried OTA to JH7 a couple weeks ago. Obviously failed (hadn't gone back to stock), but left the JH7 baseband code.

- Used this one-click to try and revert to stock. Only way I could get into download mode was #2 (dual volume button plus USB cable). Odin kept sticking at "file analysis".

- Tried Odin 1.3 w/ the provided pit and tar files for JF6 stock; now stuck at "setupconnection".

- Switched to a different computer (yeah, had brand new driver & kies installs on both) and odin 1.3 flashed to a fail (sbl.bin failure to write). Phone now gives phone!computer error.

- Used this oneclick with the following sequence (battery/sim/sd out, plug in usb, volume buttons pressed, battery in) to get download mode and then started up odin oneclick. First try failed again, second try hung at sbl.bin, third try made it all the way through... weird.

- Reboot goes through recovery and then hangs at samsung S screen for a couple minutes and boots to a fresh stock install.

- Now for Froyo, lol!

yep, had phone in debug and everything. just was weird cause it never happened before. master cleared tons of time because i am a flashaholic and may need therapy lol. but it usually takes only a minute from start to finish. just for giggles after i formated my internal sd card i tried master clear again and it worked fine:confused: just weird
