Takes you back to Rogers 2.1 Eclair!

I am also a Rogers Captivate owner, I used bay_wolf`s AIO 2.6 tonight and it worked perfectly. When I flashed my first Rom using Odin to 2.1 Eclair (the AT&T version) it gave me the dreaded AT&T boot animation and then I went from that stock Rom to FireFly. I then played around with FireFly and love it. But if needed to get back to Rogers stock I wanted to know how to do it. So indeed version 2.6 of bay_wolf`s AIO works. You still get the AT&T boot animation but then the model number gets changed back to I-896 and the Rogers boot animation logo is in place. After my first rooting and flashing Kies would no longer work. But after using 2.6 AIO and back on Rogers Eclair 2.1 I was able to connect to Kies with the phone again.

So this program will indeed get you back to stock with the unfortunate AT&T logo still present (check around XDA maybe a way to flash it away...lol), looks like everything else is back to Rogers....IMHO it is a pretty cool program!!

2.5 will give you the AT&T stock Eclair 2.1

2.6 will give you the Rogers stock Eclair 2.1
[Captivate Android Development] rsnt:
Yup - I killed my first captivate with odin one click, which uses 2.1 JF6 if I remember correctly.

It's under your battery, it should be a 4 digit number sparated by a dot. Example, my rev is 10.12 or 1012

Yeah there is a way to change the AT&T logo using ADB which I suck at using, I can never get it to work. Question: What rev is your device?

I suggest that most of us Canadians people should post that type of info on here, that way everyone can compare and make sure they're on the right track.
[Captivate Android Development] phrenicthenub:
I'm on Rogers build 10.10..went from 2.2 back to flash, rooted, and flashing a custom rom right now! I cannot believe how easy this is. bay_wolf, you are amazing!

I'll have to set up a paypal account to donate (yes, I'm far behind the times!). I was nervous flashing with odin, but great step-by-step instructions. Would be very hard to screw this up. :D

The worst thing that happened is that I didn't read the instructions when copying CWM and didn't realize that the selected rom is renamed "ROM.zip." User error...and I didn't see it at first as I had to scroll down the list to find it by alphabetical order (wasn't on the first page).

Cannot exaggerate how useful this was to a first time ROM flasher.
[Captivate Android Development] rsnt:
Thats awesome!

My revision build is 1012 so I'm still kind of cautious
[Captivate Android Development] phrenicthenub:
Oh I didn't have any luck with the automated root though, not a big deal as I already had super one click unroot handy. Maybe it's just me?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I'm glad you found it helpful ;)

My captivate is a build 1012 also. Just use the 3 button fix option (in 2.6) and you should be fine.

Happens sometimes. I don't really know why.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
I also had trouble with the one clic rooting it did not work, but used another method. Where can I find the rev, then I can post it? Found the answer in another post...have to go to work now will post later this evening...damn work gets in my way of fun!!!

bay_wolf in others threads it has been suggested that we always go back to stock but american stock as most roms are built off of the american version. So my question is does it really matter if we do that? I like your version 2.6 because it is the Canadian version if I ever need to deal with Rogers.

I love the program, learned the hard way first and then discovered your thanks it rocks!!
[Captivate Android Development] MaverickCoast:
Might want to wait on 3.0

After following the installation instructions for 3.0, I not only couldn't get 3.0 to work, but now 2.5 won't work!

When trying to run 3.0, error windows would pop up saying that certain dll files couldn't be found. I tried to manually install them. I also tried to reinstall everything from the beginning. Didn't work. Uninstalled 3.0. Reinstalled 2.5. Now 2.5 won't "Flash To Stock". :eek: (I know how to do it the "long" way, BTW)

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TRYING 3.0 UNTIL BAY_WOLF GETS THE BUGS OUT OF 3.0.

That being said and after all the "beating" and criticism you take at times, thanks for your hard work, bay_wolf!
[Captivate Android Development] mortuus.x:
3.0 Rogers also gives you the stock AT&T Eclair. It also brands my phone as an i897 rather than the i896.

Version 3 Rogers worked flawlessly for me with the aforementioned issue being the only real problem. I suspect it's simply a matter of bay_wolf updating the heimdall files to include a proper rogers stock 2.1 vs the at&t stock 2.1. I'd play with it myself, but I'm just about to go on call with this phone and can't lose it for any length in time. Two weeks from now I can live with a few hours of functionality loss.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
If Odin isn't reconizing your phone you need to uninstall the libusb drivers. There was a readme in the Heimdall folder of version 3.0 on how to do this.
[Captivate Android Development] rsnt:
what do I need that for? My 3 button combo works fine, for both recovery and download. But say I do or will need it, when am I gonna need it is a better question.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
It's in the 2.6 version and when you press flash to stock just select 3 button fix and follow the directions. I'm not sure if the 1012 build has issues with the 3 button fix but it's a little bit more reliable then one click and I always use it for my model 1012 and never have had issues (besides some that were my fault).
[Captivate Android Development] rsnt:
And I finally took the plunge.

Your program worked perfectly, this is the first solution I managed to find that flashed to stock with ease. I couldn't flash a custom ROM using AIO, so I did it manually through cwm. I installed firefly 2.3 for rogers and I like it so far, but I have a couple weird issues,

My device ID is showing i897 under About Phone, what's also weird is when the phone boots up, it shows i896, but then really quickly it changes to i897, isn't there a way to fix that?

The other weird thing is when I plug the phone to my pc, the notification for USB debugging mode doesn't come up, only the option to mount USB storage, I dunno if this is related to the ROM itself, maybe I should go ask there.

Overall though, this is a perfect one stop solution for rogers captivate users, I can finally enjoy installing different roms without a problem, thanks for your hard work!!
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Definitely sounds like issues with the ROM except the USB debugging is a feature of most ROMs nowadays so don't worry about that as it's still enabled.
[Captivate Android Development] rsnt:
Bay_wolf,

Thanks again for the awesome application! good job SIR!

I got my questions answered on the Firefly thread. Apparently the model number changes because of the kernel, which is not that big of a deal anyway. And as for the USB debugging notification, the developer decided to remove the text, which again is fine once you learn to ignore it.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I'm glad it all got figured out.

Also, for everyone I'll be releasing version 3.1 within the day or two which will use Odin again and will have the download/install Titanium Backup feature included. I'll also be looking into added a few extra features.
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
Will heimdall go by the wayside?
[Captivate Android Development] dracuanh:
Don't know why it takes 15 mins to install just the Samsung driver.

and when I install the libusb driver, my phone didn't go to download mode -> is this ok to proceed?

btw, thank you for your great tool, master :)
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Yep, way to many issues for beginners.

Yeah, it needs to be in download mode and I'd suggest using an earlier version like 2.5 for captivate or 2.6 for rogers.
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
Looks like I'm stuck flashing roms on my buds windows machine for a while longer. :( I was hopin for that Linux version of this awesome tool.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Sorry. I'll still be trying to get it ported in the future.
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
Nah, no sorries needed. You are offering the community a fantastic tool bro. I could break down and install windows on my spare hard drive, but I've been a year now without windows and I can't bear the thought of going back :) I usually pick a ROM and stick with it for quite a while, so its only every so often I have to do windows. Keep rockin on man. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Just curious about which linux version you're running as I'm thinking about trying out Ubuntu as my main desktop for a while.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
Wow, and dang! I paid a lot more for one off ebay. It looks really professional, but I'd go for yours in a minute.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
bay_wolf just bought a jig approx eta for building and shipping? Great price and will be great to not have to do a battery pull etc.....great job....

Okay bay re read your post and got the info. 3.1 is that one that takes you back to AT&T or Rogers stock? Stability issues fixed?
[Captivate Android Development] mortuus.x:
Not a bad choice for a desktop. For the most part Ubuntu just works. If your plan is getting into server admimistration at some point I might recommend Fedora Core instead. Potentially a bit more unstable at times, but it's an upstream RHEL version so the underpinnings will be more inline with RHEL or something built from it like CentOS.

I just went back from Ubuntu and Fedora Core to Windoze 7 at both work and home and I can tell you, although I like 7, it's no Linux,freeBSD or OS	X from a productivity standpoint. Cygwin is NOT the same as a fully integrated shell. I'll probably flip back to Linux at some point.
[Captivate Android Development] G.Hook:
AWESOME! My bricks in my previous posts were from me hurrying too fast and not installing the drivers for Heimdall. I prefer Odin just because it has worked for me in the past (if it takes a little longer than Heimdall, that's not a big deal to me). Looking forward to 3.1!
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Video Removed because connexion2005 felt that selling USB Jigs on my site was taking away from his sales of USB Jigs and his video was promoting the sales of mine. I'll be adding a short guide here for anyone who needs it once 3.1 is released. (Hopefully tonight)
[Captivate Android Development] Verysafety:
I'm not going to blame you for bricking my phone, but I bricked my phone using AIO. My phone had 3 button software combo. I ran the 3 button combo "flash to stock" option, it put my phone into download mode, I selected the .PIT & PDA files, then did my normal flash to stock. After that, it started doing its normal thing, but I let it sit for an HOUR, not sure exactly what happened in the transition, but it failed. I exchanged for another phone, I now have a 1008. I'm not upset my phone was bricked, don't take this as hate mail, just a future reference to maybe look into that portion of the program.

I got a warranty replacement ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Sounds like an issue with your computer (USB ports), and/or Odin and not my program. Also, instead of exchanging it you could have used a USB Jig instead but I guess if you got a replacement for free then no problems. Haha.

Just letting other people know that as long as you have a USB Jig you shouldn't have any issues of bricking your device even if it messes up while flashing back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Verysafety:
Unfortunately, I have a USB Jig I created and it did not recover it. I have one though too ;)

The part that is weird is, the screen would not come on, I didn't realize this but the battery was draining hardcore, when they gave me the new phone, the only thing they replaced was phone, I kept my same backplate and battery, and the rep said my battery was drained.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
for any ROGERS people using this!!!! or anyone who did!

there is now an updated STOCK ROM here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979133

this stock image will NOT give the dbdata / mount issue when using pit file.

it will also FIX the AT&T boot logo if you picked that up after ODIN flashing to fix dbdata mount error.

use this image with AIO toolkit 2.6 Rogers for now until next version.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Where is the download link? All I see on the offical site is the USB download jig and the case.

-edit ha ha its under the Captivate menu!
[Captivate Android Development] nicracine:
Download link?

I looked everywhere, and I don't see it in your website. The Captivate section do not have any download link, except for the discontinued ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I just went to the site and all the download links are there. Make sure you just double click on the captivate tab at the top of the home page.
[Captivate Android Development] nicracine:
ok Feeling stupid now. I never thought I could click on the Captivate link itself. I always went for the submenus.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Aron1980:
I had gotten my replacement as well from a total dead brick. Upon inserting the battery in the new phone, I noticed that the bricking completely drained the battery. I charged it up and put it back in the bricked phone and used bay_wolf's jig, and it went into download mode. I had also tried the 3-button fix when it bricked me. Apparently it murders the battery in the process. Something to take note of perhaps. The phones ATT sent me were defective too, so I told them I somehow got it to turn back on and they let me keep it. It's 1008 and a damn god with GPS using supernova and firefly. Also, many thanks to bay_wolf for being so helpful to me in the process!
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
it took me a few visits too before i figured that out too, once i see the dropdown menu come up, i dont think to click the original link, like the windows edit menu.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Download menu fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Question for you all (actually two):

Would you like to see a version that doesn't include the PDA and TAR Files for a smaller download and the user supplies those files?

And how much of an interest is a linux version? (I'm not sure how to do a mac version yet but linux seems doable)
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
+1 for a linux version. I can't be the only one. As I think I mentioned once before to ya, it sucks to think that I have been Windows free for almost two years now and I finally buy a Linux based phone only to find that I need Windows to do anything with it. :(
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
This program works on Stock 2.2 KB1 rom right? I do not want to mess up my freinds phone as he does not have the 3 button combo.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I haven't tested it but since the KB1 has a 3e recovery it wouldn't allow you to flash CWM which is required. So, I don't really think this will work. Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Does AIO (heimdall version) repartition the phone?

It doesn't appear to come with the original boot.bin which I believe is required for repartition.

The phone must be repartitioned to flash back to stock from CM7. This is why I'm asking.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
It doesn't. You'll need to use the one click ODIN to do that which is in version 2.6.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
Do you have plans for future heimdall versions to repartition or have a repartition option?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I've tried but I can't find a PDA file that has the necessary files for repartitioning.
[Captivate Android Development] kevj:
See this post for the 3e fix which allows you to flash unsigned zips (ie flash CWM) I couldn't flash ROMs using AIO 2.6 on a stock 2.2 phone until I installed this as CWM flash would fail with a file signature error.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I don't remember the Set Pit File step taking so long... it's been around 5m now.

Has anyone seen this, or did something go terribly wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Happened to me before, more than once....Just disconnect usb, battery pull, reboot phone, end program, restart program, reconnect usb, and start over from where u left off and you should be good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
I was froyo stock and tried flash to stock using this program...it did made my phone to go in download mode..but thats it..waited for more then 10 mins...removed battery...repluged it...presses power button and there, i had that famous phone..!..computer...

I know i can revive it using Jig....but what did i do wrong...I was using AIO 3.0...
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
3.0 is a beta release. So try using 2.6 next time as it uses ODIN instaed of Heimdall.
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
1) how to use [FLash To Custom Rom]? wad does select/copy custom rom+copy CWM+reboot into recovery mean? do i nid to download clockwerk recovery mod and copy into sd card? i already dled the continuum.zip(nid rename continuum to install.zip?)
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
It is very self explanatory. It'll copy your custom ROM (make sure there aren't spaces in the file name) and Clockwork mod recovery to your phone then reboot it into recovery mode. From there, it'll give you directions on what to press to install your custom ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
is the Clockwork mod recovery inside the toolbox or i nid to download it? (some1 told me i nid to download another cwm ,so im confused now :confused:)
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
It's already included and you don't need to download it. In some rare cases it won't copy it over but you could do that manually (just PM me if that happens which it shouldn't).
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
so far i have Continuum_3.1_unthemed,AIO captivate 2.5 and tibu , did i miss anything else to flash?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Looks like you got everything.
[Captivate Android Development] ask_j:
Need urgent help pls

I was trying to root the phone using bay_wolf's root 3.0 version, I installed 64 bit drivers and then clicked on install Listusb drivers, it put the ph into downloading mode.. but there was nothing to select in the dropdown..

I tried to take the wire out and put back in its still in downloading mode.. can someone help pls?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Disconnect USB, Pull ur battery out, replace and reboot.

3.0 is beta version....use 2.5 instead. It works.

And remember to uninstall 3.0 from ur computer, then download and install 2.5.

In 2.5 install those drivers and then.....success. :)
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
You will need to uninstall the libUSB drivers also. There's a readme in the heimdall folder inside the program folder which has instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
LOL thanks for that advice, after I bricked my phone
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
It says it on the site also that it is not recommended and 2.6 is the better one.
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
ok I was going to try this, reading through the thread I see people saying they used XP SP3

but when I click on the d/l link I am taken to a page that plainly states

DOES NOT WORK ON WINDOWS XP

I am either XP or Linux

is your tool off limits to me since I quit giving Bill Gates money?
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
He has talked about a Linux version. Lets hope that comes to fruition! :)
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
yeah

since I got no reply and there is NOTHING in the OP about it not working with XP

and the warning on the homepage seemed to be associated with the 3.0 version

I downloaded the 2.5 version to use on XP

bad idea

DOES NOT WORK ON XP

needs to be in the OP not buried in a secondary page in a confusing location

at least I now know to ignore this project

unsubscribing
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Wow. Quit being so harsh here. It's not like you paid for this and it clearly states on the download page that it "DOES NOT WORK ON XP". There is a reason I put that on the website and not just for fun. And I apologize I didn't respond immediately but I was traveling this past week and had limited access to a computer.

EDIT: I will be trying to make a linux version sometime but my schedule is very busy so there will be delays.

EDIT2: Also, I'm sure I have posted this here or on the site that the best way to contact me is either by email or PM.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
bay_wolf, I really agree with you. We appreciate your work immensely and understand you have to fit this into a 'regular' life!

Still, it wouldn't hurt to put an XP warning in the OP here at XDA.
[Captivate Android Development] bigsmitty64:
WOW...when you click the download link in the OP it takes you straight to the download page which states:

Does NOT work on Windows XP!

Yup.... it's that big, copied it straight from the download page. :D
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
I can`t understand why so many people have trouble with reading here...before you flash you must read!!!! Otherwise you will semi brick or brick, been said countless times here on the site....

Keep up the good work bay!!!
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
That seems to say that reading is adequate and sufficient. I have been reading over a month--a LOT--and still am not confident of doing it EXACTLY right. I can't tell you how many incomplete (for beginners) and inadequate (for beginners) and insufficient in detail (for beginners) explanations are posted.

Those of you who already KNOW this stuff think they are perfectly clear. Some even contradict others; beginners don't know which one is right.

So, if I may suggest, don't be so condescending to us beginners; most of us try hard and most of us do READ. Everything is absolutely simple--after you know how to do it.

That said, baywolf's program is a giant leap forward for beginners. Without it, the above would be far more serious.
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
My firiend I have been lurking around here for a couple of years, I only started flashing less than a month ago. The reading has been solid for 1 month prior to flashing and now also after flashing. For the Captivate their is many ways to get the same result.

I suggest you use this as a basis for flashing...

POST #3

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914284

Post # 3, when I want a clean result always go back to stock and then do a master clear,

BACK UP before

the flashing!!! I use a different Odin for the master clear and have used bay_wolf`s process on a few occasions, as I said many ways to get to the same result. I feel going back to stock is good as it gives you a clean result unless it is a incremental upgrade such as Firefly 2.4 to 2.5 in the same rom....

So you are not alone I am just as much a noob as you, but read, read and read, it is very hard to hard brick this phone but it can happen...as yes I have taken a few chances!!

Also check out youtube and tons of great video`s on that site, even look at bay_wolf`s first post and that person mentioned in his first post has ton`s of great video`s (like 72 last time I checked) on the Captivate ( and Android) rom, flashing, abd file structure and rooting process etc.....

Good Luck!!
