DG,

Is there a way to include links on your site for older releases. I'm trying to go from Stock to 2.3b3 and is impossible to do without an odin release. I keep getting fc on every stock android app like crazy when going from stock to 2.3b3. I realize why but I need one of the older Odin releases that you had on one of the 2.3 releases.

btw, I plan on donating here soon, I've been using your Cogition releases since the beginning.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] nephets0:
perhaps leaving the cog rom out of a separate folder, and dump it straight to /sd ?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Settings.db?

So after flashing to 2.3b3 I now have a file on my sd card called "settings.db". I've installed a few odin's before but haven't flashed a rom since beta 5 and I don't think I've ever seen this file before. Anyone know what this file is?
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
I just backed up original file and used SUFBS to copy and paste extracted file into system/framework

Done! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bfara83:
Figured out the link to the last ODIN release if anyone else needs it:

[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
He leaves the files up there, so you just have to apply a little logic with what you want to download:

2.3b3:

http://www.ponack.net/designgears/Cognitionv2.3b3.zip

2.3b2

http://www.ponack.net/designgears/Cognitionv2.3b2.zip

etc. etc. etc.

Hi, I need some help. I'm trying to go back from v2.3b3 to stock 2.1 with Odin.

I get to download mode fine, and everything seems to work ok, but then it appears an "update" is installing. And when the phone reboots it looks like 2.1 (bubbles etc) but the settings show that I'm still on Froyo.UCJI6, and the settings are in Color.

I can't find any update files on the phone. I downloaded Estrongs file explorer and I don't see any update files in sdcard, or in any of the folders.

Anyone have any ideas what may be going wrong?

Thanks for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericPunk:
Can anyone else confirm that this happens with ODIN? I seem to remember in another thread (DG's initial JJ4 thread) that the latest versions of Cog may be preventing sync with KiesMini (unregistered device error). Could this be why? It might be worth investigating...

Edit: Sorry, premature postaculation, just re-checked the other thread and it seems the problem was already figured out.

[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Mini Kies won't recognize the phone when it's running any of the leaked firmwares, known fact, so yes, Cog is preventing you from syncing with Mini Kies. Also, TW Launcher must be running in order for Mini Kies to sync. There is no update for the US so why are you syncing? DG had the JH7 update out on XDA for us within hours of it being pushed out, he got Froyo and shared it with the community before the official release. Be patient it will post on XDA the moment there is any official release. Personally I will never go back to stock, no bloatware for me, I wait for the developers to cook up the good stuff. AT&T OTA bricked a lot of phones and Samsung will probably figure out a way to lock them down with Froyo, so I will not look for any updates from either source.

2.3b2 APN Settings Lost on Reboot

I don't know if anyone has ran into this issue, I do not know whether it is a Cognition issue or not, But after installing 2.3b2 my APN settings were lost on reboot. I have set them up numerous times using the ATT given settings and they get lost once again on reboot. I am not using any toggle applications since i know this will sometimes mess with the apn settings. Can anyone shed any light on this?

RANT

[Begin Rant]

Ok I am going to pose some questions here and I want the people that have had issues to answer them truthfully.

1: Where does it say to rename the file to UPDATE.ZIP????

2: Where does it say to put the file on the external sd card????

3: Where does it say to put the rom in a sub folder on internal sd card????

4: What does it say in the red bar on the download page for Cog????

I am sure there are more questions like that that can be answered and I do ask the more experienced people to post some more.

People that have been stating that they borked something or the rom screwed something up are more then likely at fault and not the rom. People stated they have read and its plain to see that they have not cause the majority of the issues that are being posted are the same that have been posted before and previously answered. Searching is a ***** I know just bloody read and not be lazy. You will seriously screw the pooch and make your phone unusable if you don't. If you have any doubts maybe you shouldn't be doing this to begin with.

So with that said. Grab a beer a piece of paper and a pencil and go read the wiki first and take notes. Then sit down and read all 865 pages worth of posts on here and also take notes. If after you still have issues re read till you understand. Go in chat maybe and ask in there.

[End Rant]

So with that said. It appears that people who said they have read really probably haven't read at all or just skimmed and not understood. Or they have read but didn't follow the steps that was given in what they read.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
GPS is sooo tempermental. I was just outside my office and got a GPS lock in 7 seconds, that's a first for me on any rom. If I could just figure how settings.db showed up on my SD card I will be happy as pig in slop...
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Or people may simply not understand what they're reading. When I mentioned kernel swapping to someone at work he looked at me like I had 4 heads. This was after he asked me how to root his phone.

For All You Noobs: Cognition 2.3b3 for Dummies

This is a guide for flashing the Cognition 2.3b3 ROM to your Captivate.

This is the process I used that worked for me. YMMV.

If I have missed anything feel free to add or correct as needed.

It is assumed that your phone is already rooted.

1. Download, to your computer, the Cognition 2.3b2 ROM (the full ROM, not the update).

a.

DO NOT rename, unzip, or otherwise modify the ROM in any way!

2. Plug in phone and mount the internal SD card.

a. If you don't know how to do this, then you need to give up now and have someone that knows how, do it for you!

3. Copy the ROM from your computer down to the ROOT of the phone's INTERNAL SD card (NOT in a subfolder).

4. OPTIONAL: If you don't want to have to reinstall all your apps then back them up with Titanium Backup from the Market.

5. If your current ROM is running a lag fix then disable it now.

a. For Voodoo, use the "My Files" app and go to the Voodoo folder on your internal SD and create a subfolder called "disable-lagfix".

6. Install ROM Manager to your phone from the Market and then start it up.

a. Be sure to do the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" option and choose your phone (hopefully Galaxy S Captivate).

b. I don't care if you have already flashed Clockwork recovery...do it again!

7. Now, shut down your phone and remove the SIM AND the external SD card if you have one.

8. Put the battery back in and then fire up your phone.

a. Bootup may take a while if you have disabled lag fix per step 5...be patient!

9. Start up ROM Manager again and this time choose "Install ROM from SD Card".

a. In the list that comes up, scroll down to the ROM (Cognitionv2.3b2.zip) and select it.

10. You will be presented with the option to backup the current ROM and also to wipe data and cache.

a. If your current ROM is having problems, or if you have Modified your interface in any way(circle mod; lock screen), then you will want to do the data/cache wipe. ROM backup is up to you.

b. This process will NOT kill your internal SD data.

11. Select OK and the process will begin after it reboots your phone.

a. If your phone boots to the default recovery screen (the one with blue text) then scroll down to "reinstall packages" with the volume buttons and then push the power button to select.

b. If it happens again, repeat above.

c. If it still happens, abort, and go cry in a corner cause you just wasted about 30 mins of your life.

12. Hopefully the process is proceeding now and you just have to wait for it to finish and reboot.

13. After your phone boots up perform a quick check and verify that all is working properly.

a. Run a few apps...even setup your email to see if all is good.

14. If all is good, start this whole process over again except with Cognitionv2.3b3.zip this time.

15. This time through, you don't have to do steps 4 or 5 and you don't have to wipe data or cache (step 10).

16. After verifying that 2.3b3 is working, you can re-enable the lag fix by deleting the folder you created in step 5.

17. Reboot and you are done...now remember this process the next time you flash.
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Nice write up. But people will still screw things up as they can't follow simple instructions.

With that said If you don't mind I am going to stick this on the wiki have a few senior members look at it and tweak it if need be.
[Captivate Android Development] bparkerson04:
Hey guys,

I flashed Cognition 2.3b2, and also flashed the update, and I am having a couple of issues, and was wondering if anyone could shed some light.

The first issue is that my battery seems to be draining really fast. I unhooked my phone from the charger at 2:00pm this afternoon, and by the time I got to work a little after three, it had already gone down 10% with very little use.

The other issue is that the auto suggestions are not working on the android or samsung keyboards, and the tap space twice to insert a period is not working either, even though the option is checked in the settings. Can anyone offer any insight or suggestions? Please keep in mind I am a noob with roms. :)

Do I have to disable voodoo lag fix if I want to flash anything at all, including 2.3b3?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
As stated above it's always best to disable lagfix when flashing new roms. Search the thread for battery conditioning, it was posted a few pages back.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
I'd have them DL the ROM from their phone browsers. One less step to screw up
[Captivate Android Development] gallinas2:
So I stayed with b3. It seems like once I got lock with LBStest mode Position test, which took quite a while to lock I get a quick lock after that. I will keep testing to see if it works in a few days or when i go to work 30 miles from my current position.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Then you would have to explain where it will be hiding. ;)

Swyped...and sorry I don't proofread
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:

Need Help 2.2 beta 5.5 to 2.3b3

ok so im kind of a noob at all this. i want to go to cog 2.3b3 but unfortunately i cant because of the gap between odin roms and CWM roms. I have 2.2 beta 5.5 or 2.1 stock and i am rlly confused :(

if anyone has the odin version of 2.2 beta 6 or 2.3b i can go from there but its a pain to get them if you didnt download them when they wer new because designgears doesnt leave his old roms up. thnx a lot in advance

Is there a repository of all of the previous cognition builds. I need to download an Odin version as I am still on 2.2B 5.5 and need to upgrade. Just to be clear, I want to upgrade to 2.2B9.1.3.

Yes, I did a search, and the filename comes up a million times as it is the title of the thread.

[Captivate Android Development] bradleyyy:
I did read however what is Odin. I downloaded it but these instructions aren't very clear. I have never used clockwork...and the other methods make even less sense. I have 2.2 so its the only options I have
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I think we need a Cog Bible of some sort. Some of you should really go back to a stock phone. Senior members please feel free to add to this list:

1. ALWAYS remove your SIM card and external SD card before flashing.

2. ALWAYS disable lagfix before changing crap on your phone. If you don't know how to do it, READ THE FAQ'S!!!!!!!

3. If you DID NOT flash according to the instructions DG has on his site, DO NOT post your goofy results and ask for help. STOP doing your own dang thing and say, "I don't know why this happened?"
[Captivate Android Development] florelui001p:
Im 16 years old and I understood the instructions clearly. I have flashed using odin, clockwork, and have even flashed different kernels. The instructions are very clear, all you do is follow them step by step. Its not impossible, many of us have done it ourselves.

Okay. Am I supposed to follow the 2.2 instructions? Do I have to root the phone first? The cognition download zip file has a ton of folders no install files. The Odin program has no instructions on how to install cognition using it. I'm sorry for being so illiterate about flashing my phone. Everyone could be a bit more helpful
[Captivate Android Development] bradleyyy:
I flashed to the other rom by following the instructions that site gave me. All I had to do was download a file and plug in my phone turn it off and press go...it was simple. This is more difficult

[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
This is no more difficult then following a simple recipe.

First off link the site that you got you 2.2 from. Then we can see the instructions and what all was involved

Second if you can't seem to follow the instructions on the wiki to flash with odin then you probably don't need to be doing this stuff.

Third I wrote some of the stuff on the wiki and most people have told me that it helped them a great deal.

Fourth if you are having issues with what was written on the wiki then post them in here and people will clarify them for you.
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
So far no Bluetooth issues.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
When flashing (once or twice) keep looking at the screen to make sure the data cassatt and cache clear succeed. I had to go through factory rest, sdcard format, 2 cw resets, and only then got the reset to actually go through. Once it did, no more fc, even after restoring apps.

If so, cancel the download and keep retrying. I had to do this for several apps. Also, see if installing them on wifi helps.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Someone correct me if anything I say is incorrect.

Sounds like you are on the original froyo leak. This means you can not use clockwork recovery because it is not compatible. You will have to read up on Odin. I would suggest you use Odin to flash stock. Download the oclf app from the market and root your phone. Download Rom manager from market flash clockwork recovery then download the latest cog, place it on your SD then flash through Rom manager choosing option to apply Rom from SD.

I do not mean to chastise you but you need to understand what your flashing prior to doing it. Here is the catch. If you are on the original froyo leak and you are not rooted then you can not use titanium to back up your apps and will have to start from scratch. Or search for. Methods to root your current build. Or reD up on Odin and kernel swap a kernel that has a working 2e recovery

I am sorry if this is allot to take in but that is why you read before you flash

It rocks and the lagfix is rocking too.

Love the inclusion of the latest Google maps and the great task manager with the active apps widget. Even Google voice control is included.

Having said that, Google voice control does not seem too great compared to their example video. And I havent got it to accurately transcribe by bull**** yet. :cool:

Anyway, Cognition 2.2 Beta4 seems perfect to me and everything is working.

I did a factory reset, then the one click odin Restore, back to the old CJF6. Then a master clear.

Then rooted, then rom manager & then cognition beta4, then initiated the lagfix2.

All went well and took 20 minutes!

I'd say it's a config issue(but I'm by no means know for sure) I've mentioned to a few people, I tend to not have a huge amount of issues(other than a couple ROM bugs and sometimes GPS) I believe mainly from the fact I Master Clear, flash to JF6 stock.
