I'm on ff 2.3 and have build number 1012 can I just flash the 3button fix zip or do I have to go back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] shinobi26:
Help!!

Can I please get this stock rom + 3 button fix as a .zip file that I can flash with Clockwork?

I use OSX and Linux (I tried getting Odin to work with Wine on OSX but it wouldn't recognize the phone) and I'd really love to be able to not have to chase down a windows computer every time I want to flash a new rom.

If anyone knows where I can get this or can help me out please do :D
[Captivate Android Development] Phateless:
Yeah HTC uses RUU files that can be flashed through hboot. Too bad there's nothing similar for Samsung.

[Captivate Android Development] shinobi26:
In the case of Heimdall it looks like to use with OSX (which is my primary computer) I'd have to flash to Froyo in order to even use it (funny, or unfortunate, because I literally just used this odin 3 button fix to flash back to stock 2.1 :rolleyes: )

I guess from now on when I'm on a ROM and want to upgrade or change, I could flash with Heimdall to stock Froyo, apply root, and then flash to whatever ROM I want.

Anyone know of the stock Froyo for our phones with root already applied? (would make the process a little shorter)
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I want to get this Correct. My phone doesn't have 3 button ability. I am on custom ROM now(CM7) but I want to go back to Stock. I use the Odin you included,direct Odin where the PIT file that you also included is located and direct Odin where the PDA.tar I download is also located. Under the Options in Odin does only "Auto Rebot" and "F.Reset Time" need to be checked?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
yes...it should work exactly like one click Odin does...just you will still have your 3 button combo....but to be careful, check this out...iCezar fix
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
This won't work with CM, you must use Odin. CWM flashable roms won't partition your phone properly, resulting in a unbootable (though fixable) phone.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
you mean Icezar fix wont work with CM? But I think he just modified the PDA file...to make a secure flash to stock...and everything else is same..

Please correct me if I am wrong...
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
iCezar's fix doesn't use CWM to flash the rom. You use Odin and flash a PDA package that doesn't involve bootloaders or your param.lfs. So, its a "secure" method of flashing back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I have Got the 3 button fix zip and used it before. I know I can get the 3 button like I did when I attempted CM7. Used Odin 1 click got to stock then rooted phone then Used ROM Manager. But just thought I might try another Way but since I want to Master Clear also to be sure CM7 has left nothing behind the old fashion way maybe the way to go.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
i dont like flashing 3 combo fix via CWM..it might brick your phone...So I use full Odin...
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
I've used the three button fix before all these new Odin's and packages came out. It worked fine in Clockwork recovery over 10 times. Just giving my experience.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I am getting lost here. Since I am on CM7 which is a "new animal" to the ROM scene will the old Odin 1.3 "One Click" get me to Stock? I am trying to get to Stock,Master Clear. Then get 3 button fix back somehow and then get 2.2 ROM going again.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Use the Odin from this thread Ron. your 3 button will work. Even coming from CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
2 questions, I don't see "Master Clear" on the Odin in this thread? Am I just missing it somewhere or do I even need to do Master Clear? Also do I need to "Check" re-partition?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
master clear is 99.9999% never needed it just wipes your sdcard, which isnt affected by roms

master clear using the keypad when it comes time to sell your phone
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I was think that and I really don't want to do Master Clear but I am needing to Flash Darky's 9.2 Resurrection edition and it advised to do a Master Clear "if possible".
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
After flashing to stock using Full Odin...do master clear using One click Odin....One click Odin just need your phone to be in Debugging mode...
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:

In the instructions how to put the phone in download mode? Shouldn't connecting with drivers already do that?
[Captivate Android Development] metalchef:
I noticed no one has mentioned that you have to UN-ROOT your device before you can effectively flash it back to stock ROM.

I tried flashing WITH root, and got the "phone--+--computer" screen. Reset w Odin, rebooted into AT&T Froyo, un-rooted; then tried again with Odin... and that time it worked.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
ROOT has nothing to do with it......
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
No, you don't have to unroot, I have never unrooted when flashing back to stock, and I've done it several times.
[Captivate Android Development] Phateless:
Root is part of the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
True, but in this case, he's flashing back to the stock ROM - which is unrooted.
[Captivate Android Development] Phateless:
Exactly, which is why unrooting before flashing back to stock is redundant.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
I agree. DG made a CWM version for those that does not have 3 button enabled by default. C3PO simply just used Odin (not one click) along with the PDA and TAR files to flash back to stock WITH the sbl.bin file to enable 3 buttons. Think about it....it would be kinda pointless to have to A) flash to stock b) flash 3 button with CWM 3) then flash whichever rom. Thats an extra step not needed. I believe the PDA.zip contains the infamous sbl.bin thats enables that.

BOTH Odins can get you to "stock." Odin 1-click is NOT the same as ODIN 1.3. However....Odin 1-click has the option to "master-clear" and Odin 1.3 does not. I have actually used both for my Rom-flashing addiction, simply because i just prefer to master-clear prior to every ROM i flash regardless if it is needed or not. If you ar elooking to get 3 buttons enabled when/ everytime you flash back to "stock".....i would use the Odin + tar + PDA in the OP.

Root had NOTHING to do with why you saw: PC---!----Phone. When you flash to stock....if done properly....it removes root from your "stock" Rom. Although i will say i have seen some strange things in my Rom-Flashing days. You got a soft brick simply because somehting went bad during the flashing process .....or you turned the phone off when it displayed: "Do Not Turn off Target." <---I believe thats what it says.

when i use this, I boot to Kernel Panic Upload Mode. When I use original odin, i just get boot loops. I am able to get to download mode with jig, but no matter how many times I try, I am getting the same result.

please tell me your signature and your service provider under your name are both wrong and you are actually running a captivate
[Captivate Android Development] edufur:
Um... I would understand your confusion if I was a noob... but given I have been around on this site for a while, I would imagine that you would realize there has to be more to it.... so here it is:

This is a friend's phone. I have been flashing phones for years. Not even past the first step of flashing his phone I get issues. Either the cappy is an incredibly delicate fragile piece of crap... or... this has been seen before and there is a solution? But I have searched high and low... and I dont see a solution. I have ODIN'd the **** out of this thing and it isnt getting anywhere. With original odin (for stock), it succeeds to flash but it just boot loops. With odin 1.3 and 1.7 using stock, it just finishes flahing and goes to kernel panic and upload mode.

I cant seem to find any other solutions to this problem. Jigging this thing is a pain in the ass. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
try using the JH7 build for ODIN instead of JF6. there is a post around here somewhere, i will try to find it
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Is the actual 3 button fix in the PDA.tar file or is it the Pit.pit file? There reason I ask is I am planning on going to the new Bootloaders for GB. Since the new Loaders have the 3 button in the firmware I was told that I would now always have 3 button capabilities and that if I ever need to get back to Stock(say to try another ROM) it would be wise to Flash with Odin the original JF6.tar file. So is this PDA.tar the file I need for that?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Yes sir! I believe it is the "sbl.bin" that is found within the zip file, and as long as you flash that PDA file for when you go back to stock, you will always have 3 buttons enabled. How do i know? Cuz thats how i have always managed to prevent a Brick...AND I have NEVER used a Jig. (knock on wood) :D
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks for the reply. I have never had to use a Jig either(knock on wood) but I got one and it does put my mind at ease having it around...:D but to get this straight I want to JF6.tar that isn't altered at all because if I read correctly if I have the 3 button with the new Bootloaders from GB any thing that tries to place 3 button fix on again will have a HIGH change of Hard Bricking.
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Don't mention it. Its what we do here. We help. Jig= Insurance. lol
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I found the jf6.tar file that doesn't alter Bootloaders
[Captivate Android Development] skyxliner:
I'm kinda confused.

Odin One Click - Reflashes everything including bootloader

Odin3 - Clears rom only and does not reflash bootloader, is this only when we load the PDA file by itself? If i load both pit and pda does that reload the bootloader as well?
[Captivate Android Development] echelonMCRhartgrenade:
Okie dokie

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

^^

If ur referring to that one click. Yes. It flashes both the primary (boot.bin) and secondary bootloaders (sbl.bin).

Odin3. It depends on what rom u are flashing because if the rom includes a boot.bin and/or a sbl.bin file. It WILL flash the bootloader(s), regardless of a pit file. A pit file only tells odin what order to flash the files (1st.SBL 2nd. FactoryFS etc..).

If u have a hard time understanding please read this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049294

[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
Use adb to get to download mode and flash this to enable the three button secondary boot. There are also apps that will reboot you into download mode.

For those stuck, what is your phone model number? What rom are you running? You don't need to use this unless the three button does not work on your captivate.

If you're still on gingerbread it's vol down and power.
[Captivate Android Development] xThaNaturalx:
Hey guys,

I'm trying to figure out how to work this without the PDA file. Can anyone give me an explanation? Like a run-down of how this works. I looked at your explanation post, but you said to put the PDA file in the PDA slot, and I don't know what to use for that.

Also, I'm flashing Perception II beta on one of my friend's Captivate after doing it on mine. He's having the three-button problem. So I decided to try this. On the Continuum page, it says only to use this after flashing stock JF6 with OCD. Can anyone verify this?

Thanks a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Bootloader

Does this flash the boot loader as well? By bootloader flash i mean does it flash the 2.1 bootloader because i am currently running gingerbread with a GB Bootloader. Wow i figured it out because i searched it. Sorry guys. Thanks for this awesome program.
[Captivate Android Development] othermark:
Yes this flashes the sbl. Do not flash this to go back to stock. The GB bootloaders already have a three button fix of sorts.
[Captivate Android Development] :
yea i hard bricked using this :/
[Captivate Android Development] darkesp:
I can confirm that using this method to go back to stock from Gingerbread will hard brick your phone. Warning messages about this are starting to pop up in more places, but some GB rom's still don't mention this in their install instructions. My old phone didn't have 3 button so I had become accustomed to using this on every flash with no problems. Lo and behold, used it without thinking when trying to revert, and bam. Dead as a doornail.

'Twas my own fault due to a number of factors - rushing, distraction, not reading enough, etc. I've been flashing for a long time and should have known better. But still... with tons of shiny GB roms coming into the wild, the more places we can make this crystal clear, the better.

End result: Don't use this to get to stock if you plan to mess around with Gingerbread. Use Odin One Click (which I've always found to be slightly sketchy in its own right) or some other method that you KNOW overwrites both bootloaders.

[Captivate Android Development] darkesp:
Hm, I have a bit of a disturbing development. I flashed to stock using Odin one click tonight, in preparation for testing Tayutama's ROM. After the flash, I attempted to boot into recovery to install Clockwork and couldn't. No 3 button recovery, no download, nothing (though I was able to get into download through adb).

Here's the catch: I've always had 3 button recovery ever since I unboxed the phone. It's possible I'm doing something wrong here, but from what I can tell, the Odin 1 click was what broke it.

I re-flashed using C3P0LOL's fixed Odin package and had 3 button back, no problems.

Would anyone have any insight in this?
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
That's strange.

You should never lose your three button if it came with the phone. I've never heard of that before. At least there is a fix.

Is Tayutama's rom I9000? I wonder if he's pushing the sbl.bin from the i9000. That might mess things up, but not too sure.
[Captivate Android Development] bird333:
I know this might be a dumb question, but... '3 button' is referring to going into 'recovery mode' right because the only way I can get into 'download mode' is pressing the up and down volume buttons and plugging in the usb cable into the computer?
[Captivate Android Development] snieves:
I cant seem to see the PIT file in the attachment, am i missing something? i feel kinda dumb, hehe
[Captivate Android Development] darkesp:
Well, the 3 button combo can actually get you into both. If you're already plugged into USB and reboot using the 3 keys, it'll put you in download mode. If not plugged in, you go to recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Flashing to stock with Odin One Click is what loses the 3-button combo. Changes the sbl.bin. I too had a cappy that would always go into recovery/download but after the Odin One Click I no longer had the ability.

With C3PO's odin flasher, there's no loss of the 3-button recovery while flashing back to stock 2.1.

If you did lose your button combo, go over to DG's thread and download the zip file that fixes 3-button combo. Install the zip from your sd with clockwork recovery and there you go, 3-button should work, but remember you lose the combo EVERY time you use Odin One Click back to 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
Here's my question.

If you get Computer!phone aren't you screwed anyways if you don't have 3 button enabled from beginning (hard enabled). What good is a 3butten enabled ROM going to do you in this situation?
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
Unzip the file. It should contain odin.exe and PIT.pit (It's the file linked in the end of the post, not the main PDA.tar file linked inside of the post.)

This is not right. SBL isn't flashed to the Rom image. SBL is flashed to the boot sector. Flashing roms should never touch this sector unless coded to do so. This is a working Secondary boot loader packaged with the stock rom. This is a replacement for the one click odin that overwrites the sbl fix.

To prove this test I did the following. I enabled my SBL.bin with the fixed sbl.bin file.(made sure i had the three button combo working) I then plugged in my odin flasher, started the flashing and pulled the USB when it was half way done. I then had computer!phone. Used the three button combo to get back into recovery no problem.

My phone did not have the 3 button combo out of box.

There is no such thing as a hard enabled 3 button combo. Delete sbl.bin in any phone that had the working three button combo packaged with the phone, and it will no longer go into recovery via the three button fix. Booting into the secondary is controlled by software, not hardware.

If you successfully get the three button combo working with my Odin to stock method, or DG's flash, you will always be able to get into recovery via the three button combo. The only way to lose it is if a non working SBL.bin is flashed over the working sbl.bin, or if sbl.bin is deleted totally somehow.
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
Thanks!

Great Work
[Captivate Android Development] darkesp:
Interesting, thanks for the confirmation. I guess the moral of the story here is always use C3P0LOL's package to get back to stock, just to be safe.

Thanks so much for your efforts in keeping our Caps stable and protected. I was a long time Tilt user who abused the crap out of that bootloader and never had any problems, so I was initially surprised to see how easy it was to screw things up on this device. But with dev's as talented as you guys, nothing seems to be a problem for long.
[Captivate Android Development] Sebring5:
Actually you can get into download mode and use Odin to flash a rom by doing the following at any time unless the hardware or battery is damaged:

1-Remove the sim card

2-Remove the battery

3-Put the battery back in without the sim card

4-Hold both the up and down volume buttons while attaching the phone to the computer (do not touch the power button)

5-Download mode
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Not to argue or anything, but you are completely missing the point. The purpose of this thread is to take advantage of the sbl.bin that allows you to use the 3-button recovery or Download Mode.

It has been proven time and time again that there are a few Captivates out there that CAN NOT/ WILL NOT be able to use the 3-button combo straight from the box.

The Odin + PDA + pit file found in the OP will allow you to:

1) Flash to stock (Eclair/ JF6)

BUT

2) Also gives you the 3-button combo/ sbl.bin enabled and working REGARDLESS of whether or not your captivate could/ could not use 3-buttons out of the box.

The Odin One-CLick, unfortunately, does NOT have the sbl.bin included with its flash to stock. In turn, everytime you flash a new Rom (unless the Rom you are flashing came with it), you will then have to add the Patch that DG has created. <---Extra steps...who wants that?
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:

[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
If all else fails, run Odin as administrator (right-click). Have Odin up and running before plugging in the phone. Put the phone in download mode---shoveling android guy in a yellow triangle.

Yes.

Plus, if you haven't done so, i would also install Microsoft's .net framework. Not sure if thats the problem, but i am the kind of person who is overly-cautious.

Other than that, I have no idea why you are getting stuck like that. I would search and ask the forums for anyone who has ever had that same issue as yours.
