Also, how do I know which one to do? Unrevoked3 or Unrevoked forever. Then, do I do it for Linux or Windows or Mac OS?
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
you just use unrevoked 3. the forever radio s-off exploit is included. people have gotten bricked phones from it, but not many. i'd run it on mac because it is by far the easiest (one click versus windows driver install, more drivers, instructions, one more driver, then one click).

then again, i would use the zikronix method. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

it is much more difficult, but once you are done, you are an android expert. you know everything there is to know (almost). with unrevoked, you know bubkus...

(i always wanted to use that word)
[EVO 4G General] aweskelo:
just use unrevoked and be done with it
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
sure, and be an absolute blank in android for months. have no idea what you are doing, and find out you cant upgrade to gingerbread when it comes out. try and flash the rom, and brick your phone cuz u dont kno how.

Roots and NAND Unlocks EVO for rom flashing and updating firmware components as well as the bootloader,

I used Unrevoked to root

Unrevoked-Forever to NAND unlock,

and a restore to stock via a RUU + Unrevoked-SON will basically undo EVERYTHING and get you back to an Out of Box configuration
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Unrevoked Forever is included in Unrevoked3, and no, it's not permanent. Flash the S-ON tool and run a RUU, and you're back to stock and your warranty is good again.

my favorite part of uv-forever is if you run an ruu but dont flash s-on then you can easily re-root.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmbenham:
I was hoping to flash Paragon tonight, but it said to flash to stock first and I had a few questions.

Why do some ROMs have you flash to stock while others you can just flash through ROM Manager?

Is the Stock backup I made through ROM Manager sufficient as a subsitute for an Odin flash?

If not, are there any Mac alternatives out there?

I'm trying to get a good understanding of what I'm tooling around with so I don't brick my phone.

Thanks for the answers
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erickit:
I wish I could answer all your questions, I'm guessing it's because the recovery uses a zip file and it does not update everything that odin would. Anyways, if you need any help flashing to stock I know that the FAQ page of the cognition rom found here has directions.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
It is not needed but many think it is best. Depending on the rom you are on you have a cocktail of lag fixes and kernels. Flashing stock gives a clear slate.

You can disable lag fix, delete davlik cache, clear cache. You should be fine but you may run into issues. May.

What are you running?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
It's some sort of ancient lore past down from priests of captivate forum antiquity.

As for 'cocktails of lag fixes and kernels,' there is no reason your cwm install can't format those partitions, particularly in light of the fact that it has built-in support for ext4. I don't know why people think the stock flash functions are particularly better at dealing with it.

Do yourself a favor, make sure you have a working download mode combo, purge your mind of the flash to stock FUD and obliviously commence to flashing one froyo ROM right over another. You'll be glad you did.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmbenham:
So if I'm hearing you correctly, it's more of a this will make sure you have no issues and are starting from a clean slate. It's not 100% neccessary to flash to stock before flashing a new rom?

Meanwhile, I was furiously trying to get Odin to work on an old laptop I scrounged up to no avail. Sometimes my need to tinker creates so many problems.

Thanks, guys!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
It is like a default disclaimer to flash stock. If you flash the rom and have an issue, one if the first things they will ask is did you flash stock. As mentioned almost all lag fixes use some form of ext 4 filing and most clockwork recoveries can now handle ext 4.

So in summation you do not need to, if you flash and get stuck in a boot loop you need to. I would make sure you can get odin up and running, and recognizing your phone in either case just so you know you can use it if needed
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljt:
Absolutely no need at all to flash to stock

Would you install Vista in order to install Win7?

As long as you format everything in CWM before you flash a new ROM, then everything is a clean slate. It'll wipe your stock install, so why install stock first?

This and the 're-calibrating' your battery are the two biggest FUDs about Android.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ls1xtreme:
Okay, so i know several of you, like myself, have been trying to flash the recovery 3.x using flash_image through terminal but keep getting an error. This is because the rom you are using doesn't have the flash_image file in the /system/bin folder. I found these instructions on another section of the xda forums.

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any damage done to your phone. do this at your own risk..

1. Download and extract the file i have attached.

2. Copy the file to the root of your sdcard.

3. Open the terminal and type in these commands.

su [hit enter]

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system [hit enter]

cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin [hit enter]

Now your able to flash recovery 3.x from terminal using these commands

su [hit enter]

flash_image recovery /sdcard/(recovery name).img (recovery name is whatever you have your recovery 3.x named)

i hope this helps at least one person...

Happy Flashing :-)

Okay I have tried multiple methods as posted in this section and I cannot get to Clockwork recovery 3.xxx... I did it once before and then reverted back to the version flashable via Rom Manager. It takes me straight to fastboot when I try to reboot into recovery. Any clues what I'm doing wrong? I'm running CM6 currently and I'm slightly annoyed that I got it to work once but can't again
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Have you tried to go into Rom Manager and flash the latest recovery for your phone? You can also try my method of installing ClockworkMod Recovery. It can be found HERE. If you have ADB/Fastboot set up you can also try pushing a new recovery img to your phone. If you dont have ADB set up you can use MY GUIDE to get it set up.

It sounds like your phone cant find the recovery img (could be missing).

Hit me with a PM and I can help walk ya through it if you need.

Try rebooting recovery to start with and if that doesn't work do a battery pull and try a different SD card.

The last Android phone I rooted was the HTC Hero... I need help rooting and installing a rom and unlocking my Samsung Captivate (Not necessarily install a rom). My main concern is 1. I want to unlock & 2. Allow to install apps from unknown sources (which from what I understand AT&T blocks). Should I stick with the stock 2.1 that came with the phone or should I use a different rom? I am somewhat new but all I need is someone to point in the right direction and I can figure out the rest myself. I am also wondering if I need to use the internal memory or should I use another microSD card... Like I said before... unlocking and allowing to install from unknown sources is my main concern..

It's your decision to stay with 2.1 or use a custom leaked 2.2 ROM. The ROM's are really good with what the Dev's are working with. You don't need to use an external sd card but it is worth having for extra room.
[Captivate General] ahmada:
Am I better off going with 2.2? Is it stable? Someone told me about the Serendipity Rom.. Which rom would you recommend that is 2.2?
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
The 2.2 ROM's are stable. I won't recommend a ROM though because each phone reacts differently. Serendipity is a good ROM and I am using it now, but you would be able to use pretty much any of the 2.2 ROM's and be happy. Mostly if you just want a ROM made by a dev you are really looking at the theme of the ROM. Check the threads in the dev section and read up on each one.

[Captivate General] gunnyman:
1) is your phone in download mode?

2) did you install the Samsung drivers?
[Captivate General] ahmada:
Yes & Yes

I downloaded the 1.3 version and the 1.0 version of ODIN3 but the 1.0 version was a 275MB file..
[Captivate General] xredjokerx:
After you install the drivers, you put your phone in download mode

Then you open odin (whichever one you want to use, I normally use 1-click)

Then you plug in your phone and it should recognize it; if it doesnt, then somethings wrong with your drivers--reinstall them

if you start it, but it hangs at reading pit file (or some variation) then unplug some USB accessories and try again. (sometimes it takes me up to 4-5 tries before it begins to flash)

And I'm not getting cranky, I'm merely stating what I'm observing.

I barely ask questions on the forum because I can normally find what I'm looking for if I were just to read. Don't get me wrong, I want to be helpful; But when the information is all gathered in a few clicks, I don't see why some people can't find the most basic answers.

Hi all !

This is a bit "newbie" but here goes.

1 => I have all my applications [ .APK Files ] backed up on both my SD Card and on my Laptop

2 => I am about to install a new ROM

3 => This ROM [ naturally ] will wipe everything and does *not* come with ASTO or RootExplorer or any other File Manager / Browser built in

4 => I know how to copy my .APK Applications back to the root of my SD Card and then put the SD Card back in the Phone

5 => my problem is then ...... once I've done Step 4, how do I find, see and open and install these .APK's to my Phones ROM given that ASTO or RootExplorer or any other File Manager / Browser is not already in the new ROM I just installed ?

Or in other words - do I have to go online to AppMarket to get a free File Manager to install my .APK's - I was trying to find a way to avoid having to do this ?

Hope the above makes sense.

Thx,

Ben
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] empat:
Hi!

I am also a newbie..but trying to help:

If must have root access in your ROM, which means you can control what to install. In the first page of the thread you will find that information. With root access, just install from the market some file manager (I use ES Explorer, and it is free) and click on the .apk file. Be sure you alowed instalation of unknown sources under applications setings.

Hope it helps!

He's not talking about the startup animation that you see on a normal boot.

He's talking about the very first bootup screen you see when you turn the phone on; the one that is just the word Google on a black background. This one shows no matter what you're booting into. It's not part of the animation you're referring to. I've opened that and checked, and I posted it in the other thread where a guy was asking for the boot animation, but was actually looking for the Google word one.

I don't know where in the boot image it is, but I'm 99% certain it's not in the regular ROM space we can get with a file explorer. I asked the famous supercurio what he thought, and he said he's never looked for it but agrees it's probably in the bootloader. He said he'll try to remember to check it out if he remembers.

@SpartusTana - if Team Whiskey's replaced it, they must know the location! Maybe ask them for the location, and/or a rip of it for the guy who's looking for it to port to another phone (in another thread here).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
That's a healthy idea. I'll try hoping over to their IRC to see if anyone has the knowledge of it.

If you mess up your bootloader, you might not be able to get into CW, right? That's my fear.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
Yah it doesn't appear as though it will work but thank you for looking into it.

@distortedloop You're correct on that. There's no real seperate button combination to bypass the bootloader to get into the recovery. So if the bootloader got screwed up...you'd screw yourself right back. I am wholy against messing with the bootloader haha.
