[Captivate General] 10ee:
This seems to be correct. I tried Heimdall on both Windows 7 32-bit and Mac OS X Leopard and neither worked for me.

I could never select the "Start" button on either, and it seems your assertion that a secondary boot loader is required for Mac OS X is bang on.

I instead used Odin with the Pit file from this thread and the stock Rogers firmware and it seems to have worked.

Only the AT&T World Phone boot screen still shows up as a remnant of my previous flashing to Cognition.

I think I would have stayed with Cog if not for the reduced battery life, GPS lock-on slowness and static with BlueTooth head sets, as otherwise it is a fabulous ROM.

Either way, thanks to the OP for at least giving us the tips we needed to restore our older, but better than AT&T firmware!
[Captivate General] SteveCheeseman:
soooo why is the "start" button grayed out???
[Captivate General] sshvetsov:
Probably because you didn't read instructions and to prevent you from unknowingly bricking your phone. You most likely didn't uncheck the repartition option.
[Captivate General] Benjamin Dobell:
sshvetsov is 100% correct. If it wasn't for the fact I put in functionality to grey out the start button you'd now have a bricked device. You can not repartition your device unless you provide all the necessary files.

It doesn't help that for a long time the samfirmware website was spreading misinformation about requiring you specify a PIT file in Odin without repartition checked. There's no need to select a PIT file when you're not repartitioning, in fact Odin will just ignore the fact that you have done so.

The start button isn't greyed out when you don't have a working secondary bootloader. Instead, after you press Start, you will receive a message saying your device couldn't be detected.
[Captivate General] gin032:
In my case, I did re-partition....but in the interest of fullness, where can one find such a secondary bootloader?
[Captivate General] Angelmsx:
Bricked my rogers i896 while trying to mash up different kernels for a rom, odin didnt work so i tried heimdall with the procedures thanks to OP.

The only difference was I did not use the pit file. Everything worked flawlessly and I still managed to maintain my data on root sd although i lost root access. The ATT splash screen also was removed (thank goodness) and model number changed back to i896 in the "About". It is now back to pretty much stock, though I did lose the APN settings (can easily reenter it). Last step now is just to re-root and restore via Titanium Backup.

Thanks for the helpful information everyone!
[Captivate General] loonieryan:
Now that 2.2 is out on Kies, it should become a lot simpler to restore to stock Rogers.

All we need is an ODIN image from the 2.2 release.
[Captivate General] Eschatologist:
This please!
[Captivate General] AbsoluteZero:
I've tried this, but use zadig.exe my phone shows up as Gadget Serial. So I installed anyways, it says successful, but nothing happens in the frontend that shows the phone and it doesn't allow me to start anything.

Edit: Just got download mode back but still not working for me

Edit: Got Odin3 to work finally. Flashing JL1. Hoping it works.
[Captivate General] awilkie:
ok, I have a real challenge.

I made the derp of giving my phone temp root using Z4root, then I ran OneClickLagFix on the phone. The phone rebooted & now just goes to a black screen after the rogers logo. it is on but does not respond to anything (capacitive butons light up when pressed).

I tried the steps listed here to revert to factory but it didn't help. Any ideas?
[Captivate General] k-0s2:
Hey what mode do you have the phone is to do this? I can get the start button to work then I try and hit start and it says that no devices can be detected.

Edit:

I actually got it to detect the device in download mode but I get an error -12 says that it failed to access device

Any ideas?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rsloan:
long press the apps to pin
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] halorin:
Yeah. You have to do that part manually. Takes a while, but worth it. If they somehow got number notifications on the tiles and added 2x1 tiles it'd be pretty spot on. I don't know how long this will last on the market, though.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
hi guys, this is my first time ever installing a ROM and everything worked out fine except 1 thing..

so heres what i did...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821468

installed that rom, using the video tutorial, and now i have the axura rom...

but the problem is.. unlike on the video when i first installed the rom it didnt give me options of home replacers, it just came up with launcher pro

so i said what the hell? i was gonna use launcher pro anyways... so i didnt do anything for a while..then i noticed when i pressed my home key it did... nothing.

so i thought it might be launcher pro

so i went in the app drawer and saw zeno or zepo something like that.. and knew that was a home replacement so i clicked that..

now i cant find launcher pro on the app drawer, and.. home button still doesnt work.

any suggestions please?
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Just Reflash.
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Download "Home Switcher" from the Market. Then you can easily switch between any installed Launcher at will.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
i downloaded that, but the problem is my home button doesnt work AT ALL.

nothing is happening when i press it...

and to joe...

how do i re-flash?

just go back into rom manager and click the auxura.zip again?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
NEVER MIND I JUST HAD TO REBOOT HAHHA

thanks guys for trying to help, you can lock this if you want...

omg my first rom im excited!
[Vibrant General] Vegastouch:
Say he did this. Would he have to Odin back to 2.1 then reflash? Or just reflash Axura?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
just reflash ^

im pretty sure when Gingerbread starts rolling out we'll get it in update or some one will port over and put it on market, iv searched and so far nada
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
This is the Gingerbread keyboard apk and appropriate libs to make it work on any Froyo rom on Eris (probably).

Please report back with feedback.

EDIT: PLEASE! If you're not in the mood to have to wipe and reflash in case this doesn't work, do a Nandroid Backup before flashing. (Duh.)

Thanks to Workshed, I've got everything sorted out.

Mind you I'm devving while on vacation in Hawaii sipping on a Kirin Ichiban.

Edit: Tenzo tells me I don't need the line to set permissions, and I need to add lines to remove the previous versions of the files that are being replaced. Currently working on that.

thank you both, love it, its such a simple thing, but the glowing spacebar makes me so happy :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
Ah the pleasures of the simple things. That is a really nice feature.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dev/null/:
After flashing there is no new keyboard just the stock keyboard. Running Kaosfroyo v38 droid eris. Used .zip from workshed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
Ugh. You could just do it in adb like I did.

Unzip the flashable zip, and push the files yourself.

adb remount

adb push [directory]/LatinIME.apk /system/app/

adb push [directory]/libjnj_latinime.so /system/lib/

after that you should be set. usually, though, for good measure, I also do

adb reboot
[Droid Eris Android Development] Swifty31703:
First off I will say that I have installed and played with KaosGingerBread V2 and 3. Since KaosGB isn't running smoothly yet, the GB keyboard doesn't show it's true potential. Now that you have a working version for 2.2 roms, all I can say is wow! The spacing is truly amazing and really helps with the accuracy like they said it would. I am running it with KaosFroyo V38 with CFSv8. The response time is amazing, though it might be due to the overclocking but still it is miles apart from the stock 1.5 and 2.1 keyboards I could have been stuck with if not for rooting. I even consider it better than the stock 2.2 keyboard in speed with the phone overclocked and with KaosFroyo!

Thank you very much for this very nice addition to 2.2 from 2.3! :D I might actually give up Swype to use this. :eek: Lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
Swifty, did the flashable zip work for you?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Swifty31703:
Yes it worked fine for me. I rebooted into recovery, created a new NAND backup, flashed the zip file and did a Dalvik cache wipe for good measure. It works and runs like a dream.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I pulled it from an miui rom in the evolution forums... if you want the .png's, I can post a metamorph file...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Swifty31703:
nevermind... answered my own question.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Marisa:
Installed flawlessly with a Dalvik wipe. Gingerbread keyboard introduces a huge amount of subtle improvements over Froyo's; word prediction is much better, long press for numbers, commonly used punctuation more readily available, among other improvments.

Doesn't seem to have multitouch, which is a slight bummer but the keyboard is fast enough that it doesn't matter so much. Still a multitouch update wouldn't be ill recieved.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
I'm pretty sure our Erii don't have legitimate multitouch. We have some kind of pseudo multitouch. I'm pretty sure that we can't support the kind of multitouch that many other devices do. Even the DroidX keyboard with multitouch didn't function correctly. I'd hold shift and try to press any other key and it would ALWAYS misfire and type the wrong key.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Marisa:
Odd, mine always worked fine. The only issue I had was the slightest slide of my shift finger would result in an A.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
In my experience, every time I tried to type a letter while holding shift, it would become a J.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
Would this keyboard worked if I pushed it to a 2.1 ROM?

NM I just reread the first post. Has anyone tried it with 2.1 yet?
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
Unfortunately, I haven't used 2.1 since like... umm... July? August? So I really have no idea.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chopstick2U:
This KB is giving me hell when I try to use contractions. The Froyo stock KB was great because the auto-complete would always have my intended contraction in the list, often as the 1st suggestion. This never has my contractions in the auto-complete list. The only way to make it work is type "D-O-N-[long-press "." and select ']-T"

Since Ive decided I wont be caught dead resorting to apostrophe-less txt-speak, I find this to be a huge step back in convenience.

Is there a more efficient method Im overlooking?
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
Type don't with the apostrophe, then double tap the white word, and it'll be added to your dictionary. Contractions work just fine for me... except "I'd"...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chopstick2U:
"Don't" was already in the dictionary (highlighted yellow), so I couldn't add it. It just never offers it as an option when I type "D-O-N-T." I should probably mention that I'm using the KB that came with the latest Nonsensikal. If yours works just fine, maybe there's more than one version of the GB KB out there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
don't hmmm I'm using the kb from this thread and it came up without typing the apostrophe. btw they need to put that thanks button somewhere else, I was trying to quote, although, thanks for the tip about nonsensikal board
[Droid Eris Android Development] escalavee:
Thank you for this! The gingerbread kb is working great for me! Kudos, man!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
I guess try flashing this one? I ripped this one out of Tazz's ROM, to ensure that it works with our Erii, but it's the exact same one I downloaded from a site that came up when I googled "Gingerbread Keyboard download" or something along those lines.
[Droid Eris Android Development] escalavee:
I'm using nonsensikal 13.7 and flashed the keyboard from this thread, and I have an apostrophe in my don't. It must be the keyboard on nonsensikal 15.2...
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
here you go 5th agent, you might want this red gingerbread skin i happened to pass in main android theme section.. figured youd like to put that and the blue skin on the op for ease of searching:D..
[Droid Eris Android Development] DDustiNN:
FYI - when I'm using the HTC_IME mod keyboard, "dont" is what shows up in the prediction. But when you select/use it, it automatically inserts the apostrophe to make "don't"... haven't used this new keyboard, and I'm not sure which one you're using, but just check that to be sure. I thought the same thing when I first saw it... I was like "wtf, dont isn't a word..." but it fooled me ;)

Anyway, no need to type the apostrophe. It just knows.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chopstick2U:
Man... my first "thanks" and it was a mistake. You know I don't get my "thanks cherry" back just because you said it was an accident. ;)

So I dalvik-wiped and then flashed the KB in this thread. It works exactly the same... Somehow it preserved my settings from before, so I guess flashing the .zip didn't overwrite the offending piece of code.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chopstick2U:
Nope. I'm using the stock Gingerbread KB and that's not how it works. If I type "C-A-N-T" and hit Space it auto-completes to "canteen." If I touch "cant" in the text prediction field, it offers to save it to the dictionary for me. An offer I decline.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DDustiNN:
Hmm, well that sucks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
just FYI, the blue version was done by Macrodroid. And this red one is a skin for smart keyboard pro, so you'll need that app for this to work.

The stock & blue GB KB's will work without smart keyboard pro.
[Droid Eris Android Development] iornslave:
Thanks a bunch 5thagent and workshed :d it's like an early christmas gift :)

Flashed with clockwork in kaosfroyo v38
[Droid Eris Android Development] Izeltokatl:
Sweet, flashing the file worked flawlessly. I had already removed the OEM keyboard and have just been using swype as my default, but I also had swiftkey, which is an awesome keyboard. But I have it only as a backup if I kill swype when updating to newer versions. Hence the swiftkey backup. Guess this one will replace swiftkey as my backup keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
Awesome the zip flashed perfect. It goes perfect with the metamorph gingerbread theme im using. It seems a little bit slow to the multitouch keyboard and seemed to have removed and replaced it but I do love the easy access features
