One thing I don't understand, after reading the guide and watching the vids, is that there are extra steps in the video. Why is this?

Sorry for the newb question, running stock and ready to flash!

Hi, I have a question: as I already backed up my stock Rom (jh7) using Rom manager, can I just get back to stock with Rom manager again, then unroot (with 1-click), then flash the new rom (instead of using Odin)?

Well, regarding Master Clear, does Hard reset or reset to factory setting play the same role?

Thanks

Master Clear is stuck!

I'm following (the exact steps) the youtube videos that are posted in this thread. Everything have been going great so far, but I ran into a problem.

I'm at the point where I am ready for the Master clear. I set my phone to USB debug mode. I make sure ODIN is started up. I plug in my phone. Odin finds it on COM3. I click "Master Clear" and it gets about half way and the progress bar just stops. I've been waiting for about 15 minutes now and the progress bar hasn't moved. Any ideas?

These are the last messages in ODIN

I was able to root before by following this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364 or using Z4mod. However I can't seem to do it anymore and I got no idea why. With Z4mod, the Captivate gets stuck in "Running exploit in order to obtain root access..." while if I use the root file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364, it gives me the following error:

Alright.. Great guide so far. Thanks for all the help.

However, when I get to step 4 (copying the clockwork recovery zip file over to the root) windows explorer freezes. I'm running windows 7 32bit I've done everything according to the guide. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

urgh.. Changed settings to recognize phone as mass storage.

EDIT again:

Success! Thankyou guide!

Ok I think I'm gonna go die now.

I followed the video guide to the letter, and now my phone even turn on...

I got into download mode, plugged the phone into odin3 JF6 one click, it started and at some point during the process it said "removed" even though I didnt touch anything, and then i got a weird msg saying my device is not recognized, keep in mind the drivers were installed properly, and I had everything double checked before i flashed....

wtf do I do now? Cant boot at all or go back into download mode. this is my third galaxy, got it two days ago ffs.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
You don't 'go into download mode and plug the phone in', you open Odin, then, holding the two volume buttons, you plug in the phone to go into download mode. Try that and see if it helps.

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Again, another newbie here but correct me if I'm wrong. I thought flashing back to stock was a thing of the past?? Since being rooted i have never flashed back to stock. I have always used ROM manager to backup, wipe, and install ROM from SD card.. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
If that works for you, great - but if you encounter any problems, then a wipe and a flash back to stock is best. There are too many people out there having problems that lead right back to not doing these things.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I encounter very few, if any problems. When i did have an issue with FC's i reflashed and everything works fine now. But that being said, i cannot figure out how to get my phone to run at 1.2Ghz. Maybe its because i havent flashed back to stock. Beats me, but i cant get it to pass that stability test.
[Captivate Android Development] YoungGun821:
When I open Titanium Backup it tells me:

I look for it but can not find it.. Will I still be able to retore apps after I flash a new rom?

Also, With Titanium Backup, I seen a few comments about not being able to restore apps that you backed up while you was on 2.1 when upgrading to a 2.2 rom. This much of a known problem?

[Captivate Android Development] heavyhev:
Using ROM Manager to install ROMs

Followed the video and successfully flashed Cognition v3.04. I am curious about using ROM Manager alone in switching to other ROMs.

1. Back Up? What do you need to save to the external SD card? clockworkmod file, TiBa file, other suggestions?

2. Disabling lagfix? I have read that lagfixes should be disabled. My current ROM is Cognition? How would I go about this?

3. At this point, I believe the next step would be to wipe and clear caches. Then you would need to copy update.zip (renamed recovery-update.zip file) to the SD root to allow you to boot back into CWM where now I can flash the new ROM.

4. Any words of wisdom past this point? Re-able lagfix (necessary?)

The way I understand it ROM Manager should allow me to be able flash without using my computer. However I do understand that there will be times when ODIN will be needed. Not sure if my steps above are even close to being right that where help is needed. ROM Manager experts please share your knowledge!!
[Captivate Android Development] heavyhev:
2. After further reading I assuming that instead of worrying about lag fix, ODIN is probably the easiest and sound steps to take.

However still would like to see steps for flashing ROMs using ROM Manager alone without using a computer.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I would, too. This sounds like a good video for Connexion2005 to make!
[Captivate Android Development] DrunkenWonton:
kind of same question as heavy,

Just flashed my Rogers Captivate to Cognition 3.04

now what?

and if someone can show where it teaches to change kernals.

Another relative Noob question...

Other threads have warned about using Odin on recent Captivate builds; mine is 1012 and came with JH7. Does that apply here, i.e., I should not use Odin to go back to stock, but use the instructions in the build thread to recover a build 1010 Captivate to stock?

Can I add that you do not have to root your phone once your restore back to stock... as long as you that the update.zip for Clockwork Mod you can put that back on your SD card and boot to recovery and use that to flash the ROM... saves you the hassle of installing apps to root your phone and what not ....

I use Rom manager alone everytime I flash. Although the safest and recommended method is to of course Odin back to stock. But here's what I do: download the ROM using the phones browser, open ROM manager and flash clockworkmod recovery then select appropriate device. Once successful, select installed ROM from SD card. It will be in your download folder. Once you select it, its gonna ask you to backup ROM or wipe data, select wipe data. Once you select that, the phone will reboot and install the new ROM. Zero issues so far, 6th ROM flashed this way.

would this wipe all your apps and current settings?

I have run into a problem. When I go to reinstall packages for the CWM it says it can't find the update.zip. even though i specifically have it in my phone. I took out the other update.zip, the one that rooted my phone. Should i have kept it?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
No, it was fine to get rid of it, most instructions tell you when you move the clockwork update.zip to the phone you can go ahead and overwrite the update.zip that's on the phone already.

Did you move the new update.zip to the root directory of the phone?

Then rooted my device then went into CWM. When in recovery mode it doesn;t un zip the file. Instead it says Update Media, please wait then update media finished then #manual mode# then Appling multi-csc, installing csc install default apk files please then install apk files finished.
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
what happens when you skip a step and forget to disable the lagfix prior to flashing a new version of a ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Depends. If you are going from one version to another of the same ROM, there will be no problem. Depending on the lag fix even going between different ROMs isn't usually a problem now with the newer versions of the lag fixes. It was the older fixes that caused most of the problems. Now this doesn't mean you're safe, know which lag fix your using, and which one you're going to.
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
right now i plan on staying with the phoenix ROMs, but I would like to do things correctly. how would i fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
If you're staying with one ROM, don't worry about it. Seriously. I never worry about the lag fix when updating Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] psycho2097:
THIS happened when i tried flashing cwm 3.0.1.0 by koush. i flashed his new cwm thru rom manager. then it booted into android recovery and said failed. then i tried to select other options, but the power button wont work. i took out battery, rebooted and went into cwm recovery(still showed 2.5.1.0). closed went into download and tried flashing back to stock using odin3 3 button fix. then i got a violet screen on my fone, and odin was stuck at factoryfs. took out battery , tried again, got yellow screeen and odin stuck at factoryfs. fone wont boot. M I SCREWED???!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Not necessarily. Shut down Odin. Pull the battery. To be even safer, reboot your computer. Restart the phone, restart Odin, and try again. I had this happen to me (that little screen isn't anything anyone wants to see), but going through the process again worked.
[Captivate Android Development] psycho2097:
i tried it thrice on the same computer, got red yellow and violet screens. then plugged into different computer. now phone doesnt start at all.

Quick question; I plan on exchanging my captivate for a new one. If I back up my phone with TiBu, can I simply restore what I backed up to my new captivate without any hiccups? Or are these back ups phone specific?
[Captivate Android Development] Rehab5656:
So i tried to use this guide to restore my phone to stock. I installed the correct drivers and the Odin3 One-Click Downloader. I tried to use method one but it wouldn't work and the random numbers and letters wouldn't pop up. So I restarted my computer and used the second method which booted the device into recovery mode.

Idk if this is important but the random numbers and letters were "0:[COM6]"

I didn't think it was right but once i saw those random numbers and letters pop up and the "start" button on Odin was clickable, I clicked it. My captivate has been siting connected to the computer for almost 2 hours nothing has happened. I am able to scroll up and down on my captivate in recovery.

But in Odin neither the "Start" button nor the "Master Clear" button is clickable.

Under the message box for Odin it says:

<ID:0/006> Added!!

<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

<ID:0/006> File analysis..

It is essentially step 4 and it says "Do not unplug for any reasons." I am pretty much a starter with this stuff so I don't know how to go about this. I even tried to search for some answers but could not find them.

Any suggestions would really help me! What should I do? Should I scroll in the recovery mode for something? Should I unplug the phone? help pleasee

Cognition4 Installation (Help)

I have the official Froyo 2.2 installed on my phone and I am not happy with it at all. I want to try out C4 but I'm not sure if I should downgrade back to 2.1 or go ahead and flash as is. Q: How do I go about installing C4 on my phone (Captivate) with Froyo 2.2 installed. I search the forum for this solution but could not find anything that would guide me in the right direction. Your recommendation or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
You should have been in download mode when you clicked start not recovery mode. If you didnt already brick it by doing this then you should follow these steps

1)Open Odin

2) Get into download mode

3) connect to pc and verify it is connected

4) Click start on odin. This will flash you back to stock 2.1 rom.

5) let it finish and the phone will reboot. Then you need to go about the rest of the guidelines posted.

Roms are easier to flash through 2.1 due to the 2e vs 3e security which requires files to be digitally signed. So if you want to follow these guidelines on the first post then you need to be in 2.1. To do this you need to follow the posted guideline on page 1. Honestly your entire post could have been answered if you had read the first post thoroughly.

No you can not. TiBu backs up to your internal sd (the one permanently mounted in your phone). So when you turn your phone in you turn in your backup as well.

However, you can do what I did and have TiBu back up to your external removable sd card where you can just plant that in your new phone, download TiBu again and restore from the external SD.

Heres how to do it.

In TiBu->settings (soft press key)- preferences- select "backup folder name"

change the name to external_sd/TitaniumBackup just as I have it typed there. When you re-download TiBu on your new phone make sure to change this setting again or else it will not read the external SD it will look on the internal SD as the stock settings tell it to.
