Never mind - Just discovered that I was working a bit too quickly and Google wanted me to "OK" the use of the GPS for my location.

Going to Google, Searching and selecting a link before verifying the use of location based services I guess hoses up the whole process - Who knew??

Anyway - Many apologies for wasting space here.

I rooted and installed clockwordmod recovery using the information on this forum, now I want to revert to stock recovery. I followed the instructions on this page

and did a master clear and the regular flashing process. Everything seems to be working fine except when I reboot into recovery mode and select reinstall all packages i get this error:

I tried two different Odin packages I897UCJF6 and I897UCJF1, both give me the same issue.

I think my only option is to use a nandroid backup from a fresh install, can anyone send me a link to one please.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
If you did a master clear it deleted everything on your /sdcard volume... so of course it isn't finding an update.zip package there =P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamamp3pimp:
if your recovery is black screen w blue letters, That is samsung recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserman023:
I dont think theres supposed to be an update.zip on the factory device, besides odin is supposed to be a complete image
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserman023:
I can get to samsung recovery, but when I click reinstall packages it fails if there isn't an update.zip file in the /sdcard directory.

I poked around the clockworkmod update.zip and found out it deletes the /cache/recovery/update.zip and installs a modified /sbin/recovery; among other things, but I think those are the files that are most important to me right now, are those files not restored by Odin?

btw I'm new to android but I'm a linux admin and programmer so I have a basic understanding of how this works, now to just dig deeper and find out where it's going wrong.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Odin will wipe everything on your NAND clean, this does not include the /sdcard area (internal Sdcard)

Doing a master clear wipes everything including your internal sd (so if you had already had a clockwork backup it would have gotten wiped as well)

Rom Manager/Clockwork creates a folder on your /sdcard called /sdcard/clockwork, and within that folder all of your images are stored. Clockwork uses and update.zip file to install itself on boot up (through stock recovery)

I'm not entirely sure what answer you're looking for though, so I figured I'd just lay out a few facts in hopes that one of them might help :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserman023:
Thanks for the reply, :) I know the basics of how clockworkmod/nand work. What I'm trying to do is restore my phone to factory condition, Odin restores everything except the recovery manager, for some reason I'm stuck with the modified recovery that needs an update.zip. Before I made any changes, when my phone was new, if I booted into recovery and selected reinstall packages it would run the default att/samsung recovery program and reinstall default packages(as far as I can remember, please tell me if I'm just imagining this, ive been flashing and reflashing my phone countless times so I could be really confused), thats what I wan't to happen, now it just gives me the error:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbae2:
I don't recall my stock phone doing that, otherwise I wouldn't of had to return my first phone :), black screened it on the first day I had it lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserman023:
lol thanks, do you mean that it didn't try to reinstall the packages?

And could someone else with a stock AT&T Captivate please confirm, I'm not ready to admit that I've gone completely crazy....:confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Just so I understand. You go to recovery and it tries to install an update.zip without you doing anything? This isn't normal.

I'd do another odin and a master clear. That really should do it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbae2:
No, he is saying that when he first got the phone it used to reinstall the stock packages when he selected reinstall packages. Now it doesn't and instead just says it can't find update.zip. He just wants to make sure that on a stock recovery it's not supposed to install anything when he selects reinstall packages.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaredc74:
If you did a master clear and have not manually put an update.zip file back into the root of the sdcard, then you will always get that message because the file does not exist. If you ran the 1 click odin and restored the phone, then you are back to stock. No further actions necessary.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserman023:
I've done a few master clears using odin. It's not trying to install an update.zip without me doing anything, the way I remember it on the stock phone when you select reinstall packages it will reinstall the default att packages, am I wrong about this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
You are wrong about this. Selecting reinstall packages tells the phone to look for an update.zip file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserman023:
:D Solved. Thankyou

Turns out there was nothing wrong with the phone just me, I've been trying to fix something that isn't broken!!!

Anyone else using the SKYFIRE browser? Pretty cool app and it plays Flash contents via Skybar.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Tweezydak1d:
Yeah I use it....its a pretty nice browser....I was using Xscope
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] mancterrier:
It's ALRIGHT. No where near as quick as xscope and a bit naff for general browsing. Its worth having for the flash element though(even though a lot of stuff doesn't work on it)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Troute:
I use Skyfire, Opera, Dolphin and the stock browser, they all have their plus points and each is better at some things than the others.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azzzz:
I'm having issues where after going to sleep, it wakes up with the lcd very dark. It doesn't matter which level of brightness I put it on, the lcd is still hard to see. Rebooting solve the problem. Just wondering if anyone experienced this too. I hope it isn't my lcd dying...:(

This happen on both froyostone and bangster. I'm on the latest radio using tmousa.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] muzicman0:
I had this on bangsters 1.2, but haven't seen it on 1.3b, but only been running that build for a few days.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] palosjr:
i had this a few times before on a shubi build. I came to the conslusion that it is the screen not fully coming out of sleep. Seeing as it only happened when I put the phone to sleep and then tried to wake it immeadiately or got frustrated and impatient with it and tried tapping buttons repeatedly until the screen came on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jelliottz:
I had this same experience. Patience is a virtue with these phones. As long as I wait if its taking a bit to come out of sleep, I get zero problems.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azzzz:
thanks for the advice. I hope its just a software glitch. I will just have to be more patient when coming out of sleep.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] robrob777:
My solution

Here is my solution, i posted it in a similar thread, I think the key element here is the bsb tweaks part, hope it helps, thanks:

I solved this problem in my phone.

even turn on/off/on/off/on/off etc the screen, the devices wakes up correctly every time.

I don't really what exactly fixed but.

i installed Miris romm 20.0, then i turned off the auto screen off *start/system/power, so the screen nevers dims or turn off. I turned off the charge the device when it is connected to the computer, turned off quiet pickup, turned off 3g.

and now i think this is the key, installed bsb tweaks and turned off everything(even power savings), disable data connections and screen rotation, I only left use high glymp cache. reboot and run android, in winmo i dont have anything installed besides bsb1.6

in android i have the task killer on and set cpu at 768mhz ondemand. no profiles. battery last well over 24 hrs moderate use. by the way im using shubcraft, and the gsensor disabled kernel. thanks,

edit: also my auto sync is off in android and my wifi is always on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dbh369:
I dealt with the problem by putting a widget to control screen brightness on my home page, if it goes dim I can find it ' blind'

Sent from my HD2 on mattc froyo sense.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] baymon:
Yeah it does happen to me if I'm being impatient and banging on the screen before it fully wakes up. Haven't found a real solution yet, but so far I would just try my luck by turning on/off/on/off several times, hoping that it get stucks momentarily again to let if "fully" wake up. Worst case scenario, reboot.

It says it will wipe everything. So a complete backup is needed.

I am still quite new to this. Forgive me, but what is the BEST way to back up EVERYTHING -- including apps and contacts and SMS etc.

I have Titanium Back up Pro (and im rooted) though I haven't really used it yet -- is this the best ?

Is there any good apps out there ? Any good programs I should know ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bobjr:
I just saw this too. Unfortunately, I've upgraded to JH2. The facebook post says you need JG9.

We can use this post for our flash guide using Kies:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=766589

Now... how can we locate a JG9 firmware image? I cannot find it on samfirmware. I guess we'll need to flash back to get this update.

I'll update my post when I find information, but feel free to post how we can get back to the JG9 firmware if I'm off base.

- Titanium backup is good to backup apps and data.

- I've used SMS Backup and Restore to backup SMS.

- Contacts are backed up by Google itself as is the calendar.

- APN data might have to be re-entered manually. There is an APN backup and restore as well.

- I'm not sure if call log data can be backed up and restored.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omrij:
Too late for my phone :(

but great news :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
I find titanium hard to use, undestand and unreliable. Mybackup pro is waaaay better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dawgplg:
Is it just me or didnt my phone update to that firmware weeks ago when I got the thing... Some fix Samsung, thanks alot for wasting the last 2 weeks of my life waiting on you to come up with a resolution.

Please someone tell me im wrong... lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] astralmind:
If you have attempted to resolve the three-button recovery issue by upgrading the device to JH2 using a version of Kies earlier than 1.5.110074_45 and the recovery procedure is not working, please visit a Bell authorized dealer to have the device returned to a Samsung authorized service centreto have the issue resolved.

WHAT ?????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rockstronaut:
I installed JH2 via Kies something like 2 weeks ago. 3 button recovery/download is still not working. The Facebook page helpfully recommends taking it back and getting it serviced, but I think I'll wait until it's bricked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] astralmind:
I guess our only hope is for someone to tell us how to safely downgrade..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TriC_101:
Just downgrade to JG9 then do the update.. its a different version of JH2 that is up for download via KIES it updates the SPL. were the old one didn't
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dawgplg:
Im hoping someone can get KIES to downgrade to JM9, so that we can update to JH2 using the supposed new version of KIES. Dont really see how this will make any difference, but heres to wishful thinking.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dawgplg:
Any idea how I can go about getting the JG9 firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rockstronaut:
Does anyone have a download link for JG9? Pretty sure you can get kies to flash any rom you want by fiddling with the registry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] evil-doer:
this is awesome news. im still on the stock firmware. ive been scared to update to ANYTHING due to this problem. i havent even rooted the thing.

im gonna wait and see what the results are for other people before i do this too. maybe im paranoid but it doesnt hurt to be patient i guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dawgplg:
Sorry was trying to quote you.. Anyway Id love to get back to the previous firmware, Any idea how to go about that? Ive seen people redirect KIES to other Firmwares, ie the new Froyo build, but havent seen anything to go back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Richthofen:
Hmm...

This "new" JH2 which should fix the "3-button combos" is a low package.

Maybe Kies (Odin SS_DL) is able to update the bootloader, because Odin does not seem to be able to do it.

If someone wants to try it with Odin, I can upload the file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funkadelick:
Hey man I am with you I think. I haven't done NO upgrades or firmware updates. Why? b/c I can't get Keis to work :(

So I'm still on stock.

My phone says this:

Original Production Software:

PDA: I9000UGJG9

PHONE: I9000UGJG9

CSC: I9000BMCJG9

I've only rooted my phone and used the 1-click-lag-fix

So questions -- once I upgrade my phone via Keis do I have to re-apply 1-click-lag-fix ?

do I have to un-root my phone before I upgrade via Keis ?

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fishie:
@richthofen

Does this mean it is definitifly a software issue or could it still be an hardware issue since the older stock firmware can be updated and the newer roms can not..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TriC_101:
Its software and it has been all along.. its the SPL Boot-loader... all they have done is get KIES to flash the boot loader this time.. in the past when you changed roms the bootloader was not changed.. now this flash with update the boot-loader with the fix..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Goatblaster:
Hmm, I updated a few weeks back to JH2. Its been running fine, but having that 3 button ability would give me more peace of mind. They suggest bringing it to a dealer for warranty replacement/repair if we've already upgraded - seems a bit excessive. I'm wondering if this "bootloader" alteration will be included in future firmware updates perhaps? Like froyo (hopefully in a few weeks)? If that's the case, I'll just wait for that instead of trying to flash back to JG9, then back forward to the "new" JH2.

Any word/thoughts on if this bootloader thing is a one-time deal from JG9 to new JH2 only?

- Goatblaster
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] davidke:
I would assume that most people that want the 3-button fix are the kind of people that upgraded to JH2 as soon as it was available and thus with a version of kies "prior to 1.5.110074_45". Therefore most people will fall into the category where they must return the phone for service as explained in samsung FB note.

This is bizarre... even if the new firmware is the same as JH2 except for the low level stuff, they could have given it a new name just to allow kies to upgrade it. Instead they are explicitly telling us to send the phone back! It really looks like they are shooting themselves in the foot. Why not tell us to wait one week for Froyo and get the new boot loader + froyo at the same time. Returning it to Samsung will take much longer.

Also, there are a lot of users who did upgrade to JH2 using the latest Kies, and not one of them has emerged saying it fixed the 3-button issue.

Either Samsung has failed big time on this, or the statements on FB are not legit.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JJNutty:
This is going to sound like a really stupid question but, which USB port are you plugging into on your computer? I had the same issue that you are having with Kies not recognizing my phone and Windows 7 not recognizing the device. I read a post somewhere from someone who stated that when they used the USB ports on the front of the computer, they also had this issue and when they switched to a port directly on the motherboard (USB on back of their computer), Windows and Kies recognized their phone. I thought "what have I got to lose" and tried it myself. I have no idea why but for some reason it worked for me as well. Also, in settings/about phone/USB settings, I set my device to "Ask on connection". When you plug the phone into the computer, a screen will pop up and ask you how you would like to connect. Select Kies... This setting may have no effect on connecting to Kies but I use it myself as sometimes I connect to my PC and do not use Kies.

Hope this helps you and any others that have a problem connecting their Galaxies to their computers/Kies.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JJNutty:
Please see my post on this - currently on the last page of this thread (pg. 19). Hopefully this will work for you on your machine with Kies installed. If so, keep your 20 bucks and buy some beers and get drunk over this. LOL... Seriously, GL.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Domiac:
Finnish I9000 flashed to JH2 through which Kies version?

Excellent! May I ask which Kies version exactly you used to flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dawgplg:
So Rich what is involved in this? I would prefer to have a legit JG9 firmware to revert back to then update to this new Samsung one, but would be willing to try the fix out as long as it wont brick my phone.. ive waited this long for Samsung to "fix" the problem, so I could wait for a JG9 Firmware to be posted on KIES.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bigc_13:
I sent my phone in to a bell center yesterday because it died on sunday, the rep there shot me down when I tried to get a replacement over the 3 button issue saying that it was already fixed, I said no it wasn't but I guess they must of known about this, hopefully when it comes back from the repair shop the fix will have been applied. I can only hope
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TriC_101:
I agree they should have done it as JH3 then everyone could do the update and not have to downgrade to the old ROM.. by the looks of it all they have done is added the ability to flash the boot-loader with this update. there is no change to the rom.. but Its likely that the boot-loader will updated with 2.2 when it is released. with this patch as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funkadelick:
Can anyone help me out ?

I never touched my phone with updates/firmware -- I got the oringal stuff so I'm good to go.

But my question is regarding the so-called 1-click-lag-fix and rooting. I have done both of these to my phone. That's basically all i've done to it since I got it. I was scared to mess around with flashing until something concrete came out (like this)

So my question is DO I HAVE TO UN-ROOT my phone before updating via Keis ? Do I have to remove the one-click-lag-fix ?

Also, assuming the firmware update/upgrade goes well, I would assume it would be safe to then re-root / 1-click-lag fix again ?

(also very worried about losing all my stuff since this is a factory reset -- I need a full proof way of backing up everything - i have over 120 apps)

thanks so much guys (OP)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cryolithic:
Can't we just use the KIES registry trick to update to the existing JH2? I'm at work right now so I can't test until later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rockstronaut:
They probably figured it wasn't worth the headache of releasing a new rom version in order to please a vocal minority of users.

Anyway, I'm just going to wait for the Froyo release. Although it would be ironic to brick your phone while trying to apply an update that lets you un-brick your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerverize:
Anyone tried this and can confirm that this is working for upgrading from the stock old firmware ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] astralmind:
This is exactly what I am hoping for. If any more techsavy users can comment on this, that'd be great. I am confident someone here on XDA will figure a way to enable this for everyone. After all, users outside of Canada will benefit from this too ! (Optus etc..).

Go go go XDA people, fix what Samsung can't, again :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] reglaspv:
i'm also waiting to read something like: "before update, i wasn't able to enter the recovery mode but now is working :D"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funkadelick:
For you guys who have already updated, I feel for you guys, but I know that you will get your fix too! it's only a matter of time.

With that said, when you guys did your update, did you have to remove Root? remove one-click-lag fix before you upgrade/update firmware ?

Please let me know this -- so I can get to trying out to see if this bad boy really works
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dawgplg:
There must be a way to edit the registry to trick KIES into thinking that you are still on the old firmware. Im no expert especially when it comes to this phone, since ive only had it for a few weeks. Currently my reg looks like this:

Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/1

Software Revision: I9000UGJH2/I9000BMCJH2/I9000UGJH2/I9000UGJH2

HIDSWVER: I9000UGJH2/I9000BMCJH2/I9000UGJH2/I9000UGJH2

Based on these 2 values alone, dont we just need the JG9 values and KIES should think we are using that version... Just a thought.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Goatblaster:
I did not have to un-root when I upgraded, but I haven't used a lag-fix at all, so not sure about that.

- Goatblaster
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] astralmind:
No need to unroot (it will be gone after you flash). As for the LagFix, I am not sure but if you can uninstall, you probably are better off doing so.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] droidbrick:
Flashed Finnish I9000 to JH2 via Kies (by registry editing). 3 button combos work now!

Now only to get back to european firmware...

Edit:

Registry keys used:

HIDSWVER I9000UGJG9/I9000BMCJG9/I9000UGJG9/I9000UGJG9

Model Name GT-I9000M

ProductCode GT-I9000HKDBMC

... if someone is stupid enough to try too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Richthofen:
Kies must be running before this trick

The regedit procedure:

Run -> regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Software -> Samsung -> Kies -> DeviceDB

There will be folders named like 1 2 3 (or more).

Open the folders and check which one has keys with software revision info (e.g I9000UGJH2/I9000BMCJH2/I9000UGJH2/I9000UGJH2).

Because there might be many identically looking folders, select the one with highest number.

Then change all instances of JH2 to JG9.

Following keys contain software revision info, you need to edit them all.

DEVCONINFO

HIDSWVER

SoftwareRevision

Then click update firmware button in Kies.
