Little Help

Hi,

Ive used the original ODIN downloader to get froyo before on a older captivate. I sold it and now have the new 1008 model, lucky me. Can someone give me a step by step or video on how to use this method with 3 button download mode disabled. I have the pit and tar files loaded into the ODIN. Now what do I do? I do have the phone rooted. What USB setting should I have, kies, pc/internet/mass storage/usb debugging. And how do I get the update started? My goal is to enter download mode and get froyo from odin. Thanks in advance.

Note: Where is the DG fix I see referenced. I cant get into download mode no matter what I try. Bought the phone on ebay, so could be tweaked. All I get is battery charging. Again, any help is appreciated. If I could get the 3 buttons to work, I could use the original odin froyo, right?

I recommend using this stock version instead of DG's anyway. I'm on a 1007 so I didn't have the 3 button problem, but when I flashed with DG's one click, it kept saying no firmware or having connection issues with AT&T and not letting me update to JH7.

This one's truly clean. I'm finally able to update to JH7 after my first attempt at OTA screwed up my phone completely.
[Captivate Android Development] Benny1234:
Thank you!

Thank you soo much! You saved the day! Froyo installed with odin easily after this package was put in!!

Do you need me to make an Odin file with working three button? I thought the 3 button was only broken in 1008 phones.

Is 3 button broken in 1010?
[Captivate Android Development] neptronix:
1010

Just a note to all: This also occurs on 1010 Captivates. Wont go back to stock JF6. JH3 or newer is fine.

Could you give a step by step guide for 1008-1010 phones?

I 897 Captivate

I had the stock 2.1 eclair from rogers flashed to att stock 2.2 froyo worked well, but i lost the ability to get root and the 3 button download fix. |also found out that that stock version comes with 3.e boot loaded that requires a digital signed file to use the update.zip I can get to download mode with the volume buttons and pluging in the usb cable.my question is is this the stock att eclair that will allow root ect.. then what would be the best file to flash back to froyo with root and the ability to access 3 button flash just in case...
[Captivate Android Development] kevenqc:
i try this

and now my captivate wont open wtf
[Captivate Android Development] rbozzo09:
not working

okay so i just tried this...

i downloaded the odin and all the files

so i put my phone in download mode..opened odin, plugged it in and it recognized the port!

then i put in the pda and pit (only 2 of them right?) and pressed start!

and its not doing anything

i got two pops ups..one in english saying ODIN started or somehting similar and another that had like...chinese or korean characters!?? and odin is only saying

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

and nothing is happening..w.t.f
[Captivate Android Development] Superguy:
I can confirm that the original 1 click hosed the 3 button combo on my Captivate. I got a warranty replacement that was 1009 and flashed it and the 3 button was hosed. I had to used DG's fix to get it back. I had the 3 button originally before flashing.

Wish I would have known that sooner, but glad I do now.

Blue Screen?

I've used this before. Several times.

This time, Coming from perception 10 (which I doubt matters), my phone went blue screen when the Odin was on

<ID:0/008> factoryfs.rfs

I'm hoping that I can get back to download mode and retry. I don't have a jig.

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] alabamaroping:
New Hang - sbl.bin

I just did a shutdown, battery pull, and got back into download mode (what a relief). In download mode, this time, it hung on sbl.bin

What the .... ?

Now I'm a little scared because I believe I know that if sbl.bin doesn't get put on correctly ( on my 1008 phone) then I can't get back to download mode, and I could have a problem.

I'm going to give this 10 minutes or so, and then I suppose I'll have no option but to unplug it from computer and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] alabamaroping:
I always post when I panic, so that if I run in to a brick wall, someone might have already posted a reply....

UPDATE - A computer reboot and a phone restart (which did go into download mode).

A do-over and everything flashed just fine.

[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Just download the .rar and unzip it. You'll see the odin flasher along with the pit file.

EDIT: Use winrar or 7zip to do the "unzipping"
[Captivate Android Development] Killerfish1450:
sorry to be so bothersome but when i unzip using winrar all i see is the odin.exe and readme.html no PIT

I JUST donwloaded the file from the OP again and extracted the files and theres odin flasher and pit file. Try right clicking on the odin.rar and click "extract to" or extract here if its in the folder you want it to be in.

Please help with bricked Captivate

Hi Guys,

I've been up all night trying to recover my phone. It will not boot into Android, just the Recovery menu. Odin will recognize the phone but will not push files to it. And Odin does NOT see my phone once I put it into Download mode (it will see it in Recovery menu).

I'm trying to either get back to Eclair or put on a stable Froyo. My phone's kernel still seems to be SpeedMod (which is the last thing I tried to put on it.) I also have Cognition as the ROM which was working until I tried the SpeedMod custom kernel.

I'm a android and smartphone newbie so still learning all this stuff. :)

The Odin3 one-click for Eclair that every one seems to reference back to is no longer found on the other guy's site.

So I can copy files to my Captivate via adb (although I know very little about how to use it). Data is missing on my phone so trying to go back to Cognition does not finish.

Please help. It's not hopeless yet but it's close. :)

I'm over my head and need some direct help.

Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Are you putting your phone in download mode by holding both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable?

Did you start odin before connecting the phone?

Did you try running odin as administrator?

If none of that works then I would just reinstall the ROM using CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] johnnysnallen:
Please help me restore my bricked Captivate

Hi OpCow,

Thanks for replying. Without making too many assumptions: yes to first two questions and no to your third (I did not run Odin3 as admin on my Win 7 x32 desktop).

I do have ROM Manager installed and it's helping a little each time my phone boots to the Recovery Menu. But how can I use CWM (the backups from CWM were deleted from my phone, I think).

I did copy the Cognition zipped folder from my PC to the phone and ran it through the Recovery menu. But it fails with a "Line 9: ??" "Could not find <something> data" And where can I find the ROM to re-install? Are you saying use the Cognition again?

I do still have a Titanium backup on my computer but not sure that will help recover the ROM or Kernel, will it?

Thanks for your input. I'll probably be working on this tonight when I get home. If wife/kids will let me. :)
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Yea, after you flash stock and have flashed clockwork recovery just boot into the green txt recovery (which is Clockwork Recovery) and navgiate to 'install zip from sd' then find the rom that you put at the root of your internal sd and install it. Profit.
[Captivate Android Development] johnnysnallen:
Can someone tell me where I can find a good stock 2.1 or 2.2 (preferably not Odin)?

This site appears to be no longer be hosting the one-click file (due to forum rules, I cannot post the full hyperlink)

thevod.org/misc/captivate...l-OCD-REV0.rar

Sorry for so many questions: I'm a Android noobie (and have learned a lot) but still in over my head. And my phone is unusable.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
You may be able to adb push them. Personally, I never flash stock anymore and I never master clear. I always have a good update.zip and a few known good CWM ROM install zips on my sdcard.

I'd have to see the exact message to know what's going on. You can also look at the install script which is inside the zip file. It sounds like maybe the command 'copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:' is failing. I would try to push another ROM zip to the phone assuming you have adb connectivity.

No.
[Captivate Android Development] johnnysnallen:
Recovered Captivate

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your help. I was able to recover my Captivate. It had multiple issues but this is what worked:

First off the phone would not boot into Android at all (so no apps, mounting SD, anything).

Second: Odin could see the phone when it was connected but could not push files to it (the phone would only boot to Recovery mode so I could not mount SD). And when the phone was in Download mode, Odin could not see the phone at all.

Someone had a video on installing the Samsung USB drivers in the Windows Device Manager (versus just running the installation exe) so that gave me an idea to look at Device Manager. The phone, while in Download mode, was showing up as a Serial Device. Windows would not recognize the Samsung drivers as the correct drivers for the device so I let it do some installing of its own drivers from Windows Updates. That did the trick.

Third: Lots of threads/discussions pointed to one outside website for a download. That site didn't have the file anymore. I finally found a one-click Odin installer from another site. Another issue resolved.

So I had an installer and Odin could now see the device and could install the stock ROM.

So my Captivate was restored and working again.

Thanks again for your help!!
[Captivate Android Development] parshantx:
uh guys..... you can just install a button configurer from andorid market to fix the 3 button thingi...

:D
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
A button configurererer huh?? This is an option to flash stock and keep the three key combo for users who lose the ability from the regular one click. It is in the sbl.bin not in button configuration.

so when i got my phone it had the updated 2.1 pre installed id 1010 and when i flashed using DGS odin no more 3 button combo sucks the way i got it to start again was i attemped to do an phone update and it tried to updated and then it restarted and said it failed then boom i could do the combo. this time i am gonna try this odin hope it works!

[Captivate Android Development] kflipproductions:
this thread is linked from How To Install a Custom Rom guide, listed as "There is a known bug that some people are not able to get into download mode. If the three button thing does not work, try this:". So if part of this process is to put the phone in download mode, how does it help? can't get into download mode so cant use Odin. am i missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
The bug is that the other Odin (Odin One Click by DG) breaks the abililty to get to recovery and download mode using the BUTTON COMBOS. If you use this Odin, it will flash the proper sbl.bin (bootloader) that does not break this ability for batch 1008 users.
[Captivate Android Development] kflipproductions:
meaning what? heres where i'm at. out of the box, all the button combos worked, and i was able to root and install clockwork recovery. i installed a few minor builds old of clockwork, so that the only way to get to clockwork recovery was to go into recovery mode, and select reinstall package again. to resolve this my buddy recommended FTS and starting fresh. i was having a problem with drivers on my pc, so he flashed for me with one click. after that, button combo for recovery stopped working, as well as for download mode. im i not looking at the right guide for getting my shiz working?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Attached is the 3-button fix. If your buddy used the one click on your phone and it broke your button combo then use this to get it back. And from now on use the odin in this thread and not DG's One Click Odin.

You can use ADB to boot into recovery then install this zip.

Here is a decent guide on how to use ADB.

[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
The point of this is to not do what your buddy did. Better yet, don't flash to stock at all.
[Captivate Android Development] Phateless:
So when flashing a new rom just wipe data with clockworkmod recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
All I've been doing for months and dozens of flashes is:

put the cwm flashable zip on my sdcard

flash said zip

enjoy my new ROM and commence to restoring my apps

You don't need to wipe anything because any ROM mangler worth his salt knows how to make an install script properly (meaning it will do all the formatting and deletion without your help).
[Captivate Android Development] Phateless:
So no need to disable lagfix or anything? What about modem and kernel? New roms include that?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Yea, and as for disabling lagfix, it depends on what the kernel is in the new rom you would be flashing. I never do.
[Captivate Android Development] kflipproductions:
3button and adb worked. thanks for the bailout broski
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
My pleasure. Glad I could help.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
You mean if you flash a kernel on top of a your ROM? If the kernel supports the file system you are using for lagfix (probably ext4 and probably any kernel you'll be flashing supports it) then disabling it makes no sense. The modem isn't even stored on a file system and doesn't care. And all current Captivate ROMs that I am aware of come with lagfix kernels and format the partitions upon install anyway (assuming they aren't no-wipe ROMs), so there is no reason to disable it.

My Vibrant is rooted. When I adb shell into my phone and try to ./file or chmod 755 file it gives me a permission denied.

I believe I am already running as su in the terminal. Anyway I can get Android to let me modify the file? The file in question in on my sdcard, not in /system.

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
/sdcard is mounted noexec, you can't mark files executable on it. You could remount it, but it's handled by vold so you probably meted to change the configuration for vold to get it to stick. If you are trying to run a script, use "sh script.sh".
