Yes. When I installed I followed the directions from the Unlockr.com website. And their link was the voodoo/cognition ROM

My build is Cognition 2.2beta8 and the kernel is 2.6.32.9
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
The OTA available on this sight will fix the 3 button issue although it brings up others, OTA or from here. I beleive DG and crew do have a kernel flash that resolves the 3 button issue, it's not permanent though. What I mean is that if you flash a new rom with a different kernel you'll lose the 3 button capability again. I can't remember which thread the kernel was in (sorry, Friday night and drinks on(in) hand) but if you search his (DG) post you'll find it. Please correct me if I'm wrong anyone. :)

I'm out, bottle needs help! ;)

ODIN 8.1 vs ODIN 5.5 - 2 files missing

I'm currently running beta 5.5 and have thought about going to 8.1. I noticed that the download for 8.1 doesn't include phone.tar and csc.tar.

Are these no longer needed? Can I use the 5.5 version of those files? Should I?

Wow, thought this was the dev. forum, not the special ed. forum. Come on now ladies, play nice.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Great advice, do the research before you mess with, well, anything. You are basically testing the fruits of beta; BETA; software and problems can, will, and do arise. This is a development site after all (thanks XDA) so doing research and having at least minor knowledge of what you're getting into is a definite must.

:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] cmhock:
Thanks! Will give that a look...maybe in beta 9. Just finally got everything set back on beta 6.
[Captivate Android Development] avengeryarr:
So I'm not quite sure what's wrong with my phone. I went from stock 2.1 and flashed to the stock 2.2 Froyo leak using Odin 1 click. After that I decided to give Cognition a try and flashed Beta6 using Odin. Had no problems whatsoever, and tonight I flashed Beta 8.1 to my phone, and it booted up fine, albeit slowly, and was working fine. Got everything backed up and such, then went to install version E of this battery indicator mod from "Fightspit's Super Circle Battery Indicator" (can't post link cause I'm a new user) using the recovery mode, re-install packages, yada yada. After that, my phone sat on the Galaxy S screen for about 2 minutes then went black. It keeps doing 3 quick vibrates followed by 1 quick vibrate every minute or so. Can't get the screen to come on or anything. Already tried a battery pull but that didn't work =\ Can anyone help? Kinda freaking out here.

Also if it's relevant, I didn't do a master clear before any of my flashes.
[Captivate Android Development] lungbutter:
Erm,... reflash?
[Captivate Android Development] okstate707:
I am having something similar happen to me too. i have flashed to 2.2 b8.1, but each time i have flashed to it (twice), after restarting, i constantly get force close errors on com.android.phone. i have no idea what is causing my phone to do it, but it makes using it impossible and i end up reflashing.

i also have not done a master clear before flashing, would that fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] kiltedthrower:
I had an issue in which I had a black screen (no screen at all). I could receive to some extent texts and emails. Turns out I had lost my launcher. I used Odin3 to flash back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] lungbutter:
Strip it bare. Always clear everything,. Master clear definitely. Nothing hangin' around ya know? I.e., yes.
[Captivate Android Development] avengeryarr:
Just flashed the stock rom back on it. Gonna give 8.1 another shot, if it messes up again I guess I'll go back to 6 since it worked beautifully for me.
[Captivate Android Development] kiltedthrower:
So I didn't realize that when I used the link Voodoo+Cognition 2.2beta8 that voodoo is a lag fix. I installed the OCLF from teh market. Should I just uninstall? Is there a point to having two lag fix applications?
[Captivate Android Development] Mechapanda:
i downloaded the 8.1 .zip to my phone and flashed it while i was still at school, not putting in a single usb cord while doing it
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
If you're running Cog 2.2beta8.1, you DON'T have Voodoo installed, since it's not compatible yet. Not sure what link you followed, but voodoo doesn't work with Froyo (Android 2.2) yet.

So, if you do have OCLF installed, you only have ONE lag fix installed, and it's a matter of preference if you think you need/want that.
[Captivate Android Development] tellim83:
I,ve downloaded and flashed every rom from my phone ONLY since I learned of all this awesome stuff that can be done...say mid august.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Flash back to stock and start over, some times it just doesn't go correctly. As far as master clearing, not doing it can be hit and miss on the outcome although I personally haven't had any issues when I haven't master cleared. Not master clearing was usually me being forgetful, not a conscious choice.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
It has nothing to do with master clear. The battery mods do not work with Cog 2.2beta8.1, at least they haven't for me. I had even had NiXXeD fix a gauge one for me to work properly with beta 7, and when I applied it, it seemed to work fine until I went to turn my phone off. Got some vibrations, and a soft reboot. So it basically works, it seems, but you can't use any of the cool new power button addons DG implemented. (Reboot, Recovery, and Download Mode)

I wound up going back to beta 7, but realized I was doing that just to keep a battery icon I rarely look at. (I hide my notification bar)

I just put beta 8.1 back on the phone, and will wait until there is a proper battery icon, if I really want it.

[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Thank you.

One more question.

None of the unlocker methods are able to provide me with unlock code anymore. I read in some other thread that Cognition 2.2 corrupts /efs/nv_data.bin permanently and the unlock code is permanently lost. Is that true?

Since yesterday I have downgraded to stock rom in an attempt to obtain code. None of the unlock methods work for me.
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
Edit: I was mistaken. I had stated that JH7 deleted or replaced the file containing the unlock code. It's JI6 that changes it, not JH7. I had a brain fart. Lol. But, either way, Cognition isn't responsible for this. It's the JI6 ROM, which Cognition happens to be based on.

Battery live

Anyone else notice a batter drain with cog 8.1? Was using xda forum app and within 5 minutes of reading/browsing, went from 98% to 88% battery life. Came from cogbeta6 and had no battery problems before.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Anytime you flash a new rom you risk altering the real battery performance, and more likely the perceived performance.

Such a short snapshot is really not useful as I have seen battery drain wicked fast to ten percent them take there hours of actual use to kill it

Flashed to Stock tried to flash 8.1 flashed and RESET comes up in less than 3 seconds and no update is applied......

Did a quick flash and reset but only the Pit folder loaded. Where are the rest of the files? PDA Phone etc..I noticed reading back though the 8.0 comments this has been asked but not answered

Do we need 8.0 THEN load 8.1 on top. I canmnot find a link to 8.0 if that is what needs to be done.

I am using Odin 8.1....
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Yeah, while I like the Odin way of flashing, since I didn't see phone or csc, I went the CWR way instead.

Odin One Clicked to stock, then copied the CWR update.zip, booted into CWR and then installed Cognition2.2beta8.1.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
That worked....thanks Iwas trying to avoid that LOL

For those who might need this info:

Removed all cards

Reflashed to JF6 after Master Clear

Copied Clockwork update to root (renamed "update.zip")

Copied 8.1 ROM (and 7 into root JIC)

Rebooted into recovery mode (Only works on my phone if USB plugged in)

Selected update then Searched for and updated with 8.1

Now we shall see.........

"Ah...i see. There is hope for 1008. Thanks for sharing Nightmare. The only reason why i say that is because i have read a few threads concerning certain Batch numbers in correlations to 3Button combo."

Anyways, its a new day. Moving forward, has anyone else heard anything new about official Froyo? I'm thinking of flashing 8.1 soon to get the feel of it. Otherwise, i prefer DGs cog beta 6.....i know...I'm too Old School. :D

Did you use ROM Manager to do the CWM Recovery, or just do I just do the three button reboot and use re-install packages......or something else?

[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I called AT&T to provide unlock code. They were not able to look up immediately, but opened a case and will get back to me in 10 days. I hope that works out. I have been reading forums since last evening and unfortunately there is no easy or legal way to do this now.

To designgears: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add a Special Note under Install section asking users to obtain unlock code BEFORE applying 2.2 Froyo ROM. You are doing a great job with the ROM, this would really help people like me. I have spend hours reading before upgrading and still was not aware.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Not unusual for a fresh first try. download GPS Test and you can see more what is going on. The first few locks can take awhile. Don't panic yet. I am getting 30 feet in my house with 6 Sats. I think the GPS "issue" is a little overblown on this device. but that's just me.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I am always in debug when attaching the USB. I could not get into recovery otherwise.

I did not use the original "root" update.zip file to Root the device. I just put Clockwork Update.zip in. changed the name. to "update" and rebooted into clockwork where you can select the ROM you want to install. ROm manger was not installed yet. That is now installed for my return to Beta 7 IF 8.1 didn't work out and i was not near a PC. I used it to re install beta 7 at work the other day......
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I agree about adding a note.

I bought my phone second hand on Oct. 13. It was already rooted and I don't know if it had received the OTA update, but I was unable to get the code from nvdata.bin. Instead I got it from /dev/block/bm13 (dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak) and fed that to sgux.exe.

I assume the method I used doesn't work after JI6 either. I just know that since I've unlocked and flashed froyo the code isn't in either place and I feel very lucky that the first thing I did after getting the phone was to unlock it.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I have tried that. I have also tried reading unlock code off nv_data.bin, I have tried the latest unlock that is in beta and is supposed to work with Froyo with no luck. What I regret is that it was so easy if I had known. Now the phone is useless to me because I travel internationally and have to use another SIM and will have to sell the phone if AT&T does not provide the code.

I love the 8.1 ROM and have no issues. GPS, 3G, Wifi everything works great.
[Captivate Android Development] darkfalz:
I called AT&T, and was flat out told "yes, we can give you the unlock code and will do so, but you have to have the phone for 90 days first"

Maybe it was the "I'm military and will be deploying soon, and need to be able to use foreign SIM cards to avoid heinous roaming charges" thing. So people might want to try that.
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
No hard feelings here. Let's move on shall we.
[Captivate Android Development] old Tech:
Thanks. That clears it up for me. I'm still a little new to the nuances of the different types of flashing. I've read the ENTIRE thread, and have learned a TON, but some things get left out since most people already know the stuff.

I've never used ODIN one-click. I did use the ODIN flash to go from 5.5 to 6. I'm confused about the different ODINs. Would be cool if there was only one and you could use it to Master Clear, and then just load the ROM you want. Or if you could do a Master Clear right on the phone with ROM Mgr and then boot to recovery and flash the ROM.

Anyway, thanks a lot man!
[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
Odin and Odin3 are used to flash the roms. Odin3 is the updated one I guess.

Odin One Click Restore (OOCR or OOC) is a one click Odin process that someone set up to make it easy to reset you Captivate back to original 2.1 Eclair stock rom. This 'One Click' is the one that has the Master Clear in it.

Use OOC if you wan to restore back to stock before flashing a new 2.2 Froyo rom... which is a good idea if you want to ensure an error free install.

Oh, and after doing OOC you should use the one click ROOT program.

Easy! :D
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I have been with AT&T for over 4 years now. They did not refuse the code. They tried to look up the unlock code using my IMEI for around 30 minutes without any luck. She then opened a case to have tech team look into this.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Been following this thread, and contributing a bit.

I'm jumping back into testing teh beta, and will provide what feedback I can.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between B7 and 8.1. Mainly due to the Deodexed stuff. I need to read up on that. My impression is that 8.1 is working pretty well, if do a complete clear, including master clear, etc. which I plan to do. but given my ignorance about what deodexed is, and seeing many seemingly happy with B7,and being anxious to get on with it, I guess that is what I will install.

I will be testing with blue tooth; and plan on testing the new Vlingo Blue Tooth dialing etc. Will post how it goes.

[EDIT]

Guess I'll be using 8.1. The 7 I downloaded is the Clockwork one, and I'm at a stage of doing it wiht ODIN. In an earlier post someone said you could get older versions by changing the number in the link from 8.1 to 7, for example, but that didn't take me to the 7 links.

So going with 8.1.
[Captivate Android Development] old Tech:
Upgrade using ODIN

One more question so I get this right (the ODIN threads are so inconsistent in the explanation of the process).

To do Master Clear, it appears that I just do from normal boot with debugging on, hook up USB, start ODIN OneClick, and press Master Clear.

Then when that is done, I remove the cable and battery, boot into download mode and hit START on ODIN OneClick.

Is this correct?
[Captivate Android Development] Mrpotato00:
Koreancanuck . Thanks alot for the beta 7 link
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Yes, that sounds about right. That is what I just did. You will see it say in Odin "Master Clear Started", or somethign like that. You will see a green progress bar in one of the top boxes in ODIN.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Android needs odex to run, but devs can mix and match better with deodex and allow everything to be odexed at boot...ensures better compatibility..very basic answer but I will allow experts to elaborate more fully if need be

[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Quite the opposite for me actually. I spent a few hours last night reading CBR's on my Captivate with the screen brightness set @ 100% with the screen on non-stop for at least 3-4 hours and it went from 80% to 20%. Note that I use JuiceDefender to manage my Wifi/3G etc, so that saves quite a bit of battery life. I would recommend trying out JuiceDefender or the new SuperPower 0.6.1 app.

Also note that battery life icons are very spotty in their accuracy.

ODIN ZIP-> Missingi Phone.tar, and CSC.tar

I've downloaded the ODIN version of the install files fo r8.1 twice, and the PHONE.TAR and CSC.TAR files are not in the zip.

I tried the install with just those, thinking maybe they weren't needed. It no workee.

So I'm going to install Rommanager, but thought I'd note here that not all files are in the ODIN zip for 8.1
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Thats because you dont need them
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Hmmm...OK. well, I'll try once more. But it acted strange and didn't not seem to be installing. I'll post back with more specifics if it fails on me again.

[EDIT]

I presume that I do need to select the PDA.TAR. and PIT.PIT files when I install this, no?

FYI...the FAQ does not indicate how to install with ODIN form ECLAIR, only specifies how with ROM Manager. Maybe I can't use ODIN to upgraded from 2.1?

I just tried again, w/o entering the TAR and PIT file, and get the same thing. It brings up a dialog box, listing the path to the ODIN exe file. (I am running the ODIN off of a drive networked to a different PC). I click OK, and then get same thing followed by bunch of boxes.

I'll try again, but will copy the ODIN to the PC I'm installing from.

[EDIT2]

Looks like it is working. I DID enter the PIT and TAR file, and by running it off the PC I am on, that must be the problem. I gather it doesn't like being across a network.

Thanks!
