you CANNOT do a master clear from DOWNLOAD mode. a master clear is done from a fully booted phone with usb debugging turned on.....as stated in the thread where you got the odin oneclick......

Ooops! Ok any ideas of how to use the comp to just get this thing to stock? Anyway I can move stuff around on the internal SD without the phone booting up. Only way I can think of is to smash it with a hammer so I won't be bothered by the software problem :). I love the phone was just trying to get 2.2 on it :(
[Captivate General] itsjustaphone:
Why don't you just go into download mode and 1 click to stock?
[Captivate General] jj211981:
Or what can I do with download mode?

Ok sorry guys I had to dance the jig for a few. Yes I had one hell of a brain fart. I clicked the Start button instead of master clear and success. Thank you guys very much for the assistance. I think I'll read for a few more months before I start messing with it again. AT&T seems to be taking they're sweet time with Froyo so I just figured I'd get a jump start. But I'll definitely be more cautious next time. I didn't realize what the kernel and firmware and all that exactly were.
[Captivate General] sparker366:
With all due respect you do not need to be doing this with your phone. If you clearly don't understand the steps to flashing a kernal vs flashing a rom then you don't need to be doing this. Kernal flash is done in odin and a rom flash is done in clockwork or recovery.

Second there is big letters on the COG page that say read the FAQ/WIKI you need to take the time and read completely through it before you attempt to do anything else

I would like to start learning how to put roms together. I would like to start with developing a 2.2 rom compiled from galaxy s I900 source. Is there anyone here that can point me in the direction of a good tutorial on how to start? I have been using other peoples work for like a year and a half and would really like to create rather than use. I am a total noob when it comes to developing so any help would be great. thx

[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
You can't develop a rom using only kernel source.
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
Its not kernel only. I am not a total moron. It is the 2.2os downloaded from samsung for the galaxy s i9000
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
All I have to say is good luck with that.
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
In all seriousness do you stay apprised in any way shape or form of android related news our just enjoy smearing the forums with your illinformed ramblings and negativity? Speak of what you know and don't be so eager to dismiss anyone with the fortitude to increase their own knowledge base on an operating system such as this when its these people who we all depend on to better our experience with said operating system. As it is these people for whom google turns to when it comes to ideas on how to better their future stock releases. Thank you for the vote of confidence.
[Fascinate Android Development] Sgtmack:
You do realize fallingup has written more android code than your phone can hold?

The reason they seem testy is they(actual developers) have been spending all their free time trying to get Samsungs crappy code to compile, and every couple of hours some one asks for an easy how to guide for porting Froyo.

Spend some time reading the forums. Find out what is already being done, then learn the basics of rom development. THEN, ask intelligent questions on how help develop Froyo for our phones.

Asking for an easy way to cook roms is the equivalent of the kid in the back seat asking "are we there yet" every 30 seconds. If you really want to learn how to cook roms, try a couple easy ones with the kitchen I linked to, then learn how to work on roms without the kitchen. Then work on Froyo. There is no easy way.
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
I didn't ask for an easy how to thinking that I could have it done by tomorrow or even that I could figure it out at all. I simply asked for a starting point and stated in the OP that I am a know nothing when it comes to developing. As far as my last post I meant no disrespect to fallingup in fact it was my mistake to quote his post. I actually intended on quoting jt1134 so, to fallingup, I have used your stuff many times and have nothing but respect for what you do. I apologize for the misquote. I in no way think myself to be super genius to the 10th power nor do I believe that I can actually do anything worth while with this code. I'm just bored and want to learn. I'm also an Android addict.

P.S. Thank you for the link. Also you'll notice in my last post now that you know of my misquote, that I am actually 100% behind people like fallingup. I would never knowingly give a verbal bashing like that to him.(god I feel like **** now)
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
You meant to quote ME? Wow.

In all seriousness, and no disrespect intended, I'll explain a few things.

The code Samsung provides is NOT the full OS. Not even close. It's the kernel, plus a few android packages. In most cases, the android packages are EXACT copies of the code that has been available from Google for months, and in other cases has one line changes referencing a Makefile that doesn't exist. This is no way gets us any closer to a 2.2 rom other than the kernel. What we REALLY need is a working 2.2 ota build or leaked package to move forward any faster. That is MUCH more important than the garbage that Samsung has been releasing to us.

If you are a noob to development, then GOOD LUCK. If you are an advanced developer with intimate knowledge of android, then GOOD LUCK. There are quite a few of us working on aosp ports to the SGS phone series, and so far it has not been completed for a SINGLE device.

There are no guides that will explain exactly what is needed to accomplish this goal. There is no one who is going to hold anyone else's hands through it. Hacking is a meritocracy, meaning you'll get help with advanced topics when you show you have done your research, put effort into resolving the issue on your own, and ask intelligent and informed questions that give exact details of the situation.

If you would like to continue to show a poor attitude, then go for it on your own. Wait for us to release a working rom. If you would like to actually learn and invest some time in moving forward, the GO FOR IT, you are VERY WELCOME to do so. Read the porting guides written by google, try some stuff out, and come over to IRC and get your hack on.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
I'm tired. I'm generally a nice guy, sorry!
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
Now I have the right person quoted. Did you even read my post??? Let me repeat a key part so that you can understand and maybe you can stop battering the new guy.

"I didn't ask for an easy how to thinking that I could have it done by tomorrow or even that I could figure it out at all. I simply asked for a starting point and stated in the OP that I am a know nothing when it comes to developing."

I have admitted to my know nothingness. I simply want to learn. You could respond with something such as Galaxy S 2.2 is not a good place to start the learning process. Or you could have left it alone entirely and just thought that the link posted by "sgtmack" was sufficient enough. After all it did answer the exact question I asked. You might know a lot more about code and code writing than me but you have to admit, "your kind of an arrogant ass!" Now I would like to end this banter by allowing you to respond in whatever way you deem necessary. I myself will give this no further thought as I would like to move on now. That and I believe I have made myself look bad enough now.

As for fallingup and sgtmack, thanks for the hard work and helpful advice.
[Fascinate Android Development] ludeboy:
yutzyscott, do you not realize that jt and dirrk are the ones that got us the voodoo kernel? do you know they are the ones that got the kernel booting in the first place using samsung's ****ty source code? without jt, there would be nothing to build a rom around. wtf do you mean ill-informed when jt probably knows more than most people about developing for this phone? pay some ****ing respect for people that deserve it.
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
Yeah I do but, when this whole thing started I did not read who the post was by but, rather I just read the post. While I appreciate his work and am actually using it, my pride was hurt and its hard to interpret someones tone on a forum. I was under the impression in the beginning of all this that it would be known that I downloaded the 2.2 ota pushed to the original galaxy s and not the source they have been working with and making leaps and bounds with despite the road blocks. I was interested in learning how to port it (the ota I mean) rather than just sitting on my hands waiting to use anothers work. Chances are that I would never even come close to understanding what I was looking at but, I had to try. Now I'm sorry I asked. I quit...I was wrong, sorry! Leaving it to the experts. I'll go back to helping people with simple basic problems on droidforums.net and continue being an expert on using the real experts work.
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
This doesn't need to be turned into a flame thread. So here's my advice: join us on irc.freenode.net #samsung-fascinate and ask questions there. learn how to build a kernel, and maybe try to find out how exactly to port roms from other devices. Its a tough business, especially when we don't even get working kernel source from the manufacturer.

There are a ton of people that are working on the galaxy s phones, trying to get AOSP and the like on them. These phones are quite different than any other android phones, just with the way that the hardware / partitions are, so there is a lot to work through and document. Once one of the SGS phones is running aosp, im sure the others wont be too far behind. I wouldn't bother porting another crappy samsung rom, cause it will still have a lot of the crap that we are trying to get rid of by running aosp.
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
Thanks. And to jt, im sorry for being an argumentative ****. Thanks for all your hard work and despite the fact that there are many having issues with voodoo I am one of the many who it is working beautifully for.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:

Who are you to tell him that he should or should not code? If he's interested in programming, we should encourage him. It's the nature of open source. So that the wheel is not continuously reinvented.

Ignoring the troll who decided to instigate anger after the conflict had been resolved...

Has anybody played around with the nordic release of 2.2 (that evidently got pulled from the download servers?) for the Galaxy S?

The file floating around the web was labeled "Kies_1.5.1.10074_45.exe"

I was just wondering if it's going to prove useful at all, or if it is a complete waste of time.

*edit*

ok. Did some more reading. I take it Kies_1.5 is just some sort of downloader/updater for the phone and has to pull the files from the servers directly?

And since the files have now been pulled internationally from the servers, I'm betting that it is now officially a dead end.

Is this correct?
[Fascinate Android Development] mackeydesigns:
There has to be a copy out there. Otherwise we have another month to wait according to Samsung's latest update.

I've reflashed a deodexed ROM, and I'm trying to back up my LauncherPro settings via the built in backup, but I'm getting an error saying to check if my SD card is available? The SD card is working and I'm confused as to why this is occuring. A folder titled "launcherpro_backup" is created but only contains cache, databases, and lib.

If anybody could help explain this problem it would be greatly appreciated!

I had been running cognition 2.2 beta1, put phone into download mode using vol up vol down and put in usb cord and flashed back to stock. Then I flashed Shep211's JPM\JI6 ROM via rom manager. Reflashed a JI6 kernel, then tried to use rom manager to flash to cognition 2.2 beta7. The update failed and now I only get the phone exclamation computer screen and I cannot get my phone back into download mode!

[Captivate General] SnakeHaveYou:
1- Pull battery and USB cable out..

2- Press Vol Up while you connect your phone to the USB

3- Insert battery, and keep pressing Vol Up!!!

or

1- Pull battery and USB cable out..

2- Press Vol Down while you connect your phone to the USB

3- Insert battery, and keep pressing Vol Down!!!

or

1- Pull battery and USB cable out..

2- Press Vol Up while you connect your phone to the USB

3- Insert battery and, keep presing Vol Up, press the Power button..

Keep pressing Vol keys means that you must keep pressing the buttons until you get the Download Mode Screen.. And keep trying.. Sometimes it take some time to work..
[Captivate General] mrwoofus:
What I did was download and install the SDK in the C:\Android directory

Then open a windows command prompt and navigate to the "Tools" directory

Then just run the adb command.

Not sure what to tell you if the phone isn't recognized, I'm pretty new at this myself. I'd start hitting Google.

Good luck.
