Hmm... I would think it's mostly gone if you did a master clear and didn't copy those files over to your computer. You could try a file recovery program to try and get them back.
[Captivate Android Development] SlyDogJeff77:
Like what? I've never heard of a file recovery tool for an sd card. And this isn't even the removable sd card... I think I'm screwed..
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
LOL, and the light shines forth! ;):D
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Try this and just mount the phone to your computer and it acts like a memory card or mass storage device.

Quick question;

I bricked my phone trying to flash miui, I can get into Download mode with the button+usb config

will I be able to use this tool to bring my phone back to life?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Yep, just start with the flash to stock step and it should work since you're in download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
thanks for your reply and sorry to pm and post in here. lol

another question also, i saw on the video when you chose the 3 button mode it puts the phone into dl mode automatically.

now since I have to use a button combo + usb should I use the odin option or the 3 button option?

if this was for a mac, you would have a donation by now and beer money for tommaro night :p
[Captivate Android Development] SlyDogJeff77:
omg. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I was able to use a free file recovery tool allowed me to recover up to a gigabyte of data.

I had no idea that flash media could be recovered the same as a hard drive.

end result was that I was able to recover 100 + picture files and almost all of the titanium backup files before they were overwritten
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Awesome. I'm very glad that it worked out for ya.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
just incase you didnt see it.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
You can use either one. If your phones already in downloade mode it won't matter. If your phone is one that needs the 3 button fix then go with that one. And I only have a PC so I can't make it for Mac. Sorry or else there'd be one. Haha. Hope ya still consider donating if it helps ya out.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
For sure, and sorry to bug out, i'm driving an hour to go do all of this so I wanted to get all the info I needed for myself to fix my phone. lol
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
If you have any other questions just PM me and/or I'm sending you my email in a PM right now so you can email me if you have a question as I get that instantly.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Thank you x10
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Just one question about the program. AFAI can tell, the program is a shell that incorporates other programs (ODIN, etc) and sends various commands...

For whatever reason, my computer will only work with ODIN properly if I start ODIN by right clicking and selecting the "Run as Administrator" option. Obviously, I can right click on the Toolbox, but that doesn't necessarily start the programs inside the same way... do they?

Just some food for though in regards to the program - Other than that, it's GREAT!
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
It should still work as the program asks for administrator rights when you install and run it. I'm pretty sure this gets applied to all the files included with it. Test it out and let me know if you don't mind.
[Captivate Android Development] fldude99:
I'm definitely ready to move on to a custom rom and this seems like the easiest way to go forward..however once you flash a custom rom are you pretty much shut out of even giving the "official" 2.2 release by att (when/if)?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
You shouldn't be. I'd think you can just flash to stock and then update from there. I'm 99% sure about that but can anyone else chime in to confirm?
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
That's been my understanding as well - Although after having Andromeda on my phone for a day now, I can't see why I'd ever go back to "stock" even if it's official... My GPS works too good to risk it! :) hehe
[Captivate Android Development] schizox:
great app !!!

all its missing is the sim unlock option and this program would be complete

thnx for the support bay_wolf !
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Thanks! I've thought about adding that in but it'll take a while before I could implement something like this so I doubt I will.
[Captivate Android Development] whorider:
I might have missed it, but do you have a hash for v2.5?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
What's a hash?

EDIT: Sorry if this is a stupid quesiton...
[Captivate Android Development] qynt:
A HASH like MD5 cryptographic Hash is a digital fingerprint of the file. There are explorer extensions which generate the MD5 checksum. You publish the HASH value then when someone downloads your file if the HASH matches then they know the file has not been altered.

The MD5 Hash for the AIO Captivate Toolbox 2.5 which I downloaded is: D41D8CD98F00B204E9800998ECF8427E

Her's one I use HashTab It generates and compares MD5, SH1 and CRC-32 hashes
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I just downloaded hashtab and used it (is that a reliable program to find out the MD5 hash?). This is what I got for the installer I uploaded for AIO Captivate Toolbox 2.5:

464D5559FAA79585FA578BC6162BC5AD
[Captivate Android Development] qynt:
I see while I edited my post to include the link you responded. I've used HashTab for years. I like the explorer integration.
[Captivate Android Development] qynt:
I just re-downloaded the file and the MD5 hash of this one matches yours.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Continued Success !!

bay_wolf,

Using your tool again to try out a new ROM and everything went as you designed it to. Thanks again. Awesome job. :)
[Captivate Android Development] whorider:
Thank you, much appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] sweepstakes:
This tool is great.

Thanks a lot!
[Captivate Android Development] morganetwork:
First of all I absolutely love this program, you did a fantastic job! The odin and root processes have never been faster or easier.

However, I seem to be having a problem with the custom rom step. I enable usb debugging, connect the phone, verify debugging, click select rom++, then...Nothing. No reboot, nothing seems to push and my load bar does not look like the one in the video. It loads about 80% before rom is even selected.

I have installed the program, uninstalled, tried another download and installed again, and have tried with 2 different roms. All with the same result.

Any suggestions? Thanks again for the hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] Hondo209:
This tool is awesome, saves a lot of time. BTW, if anyone is having problems with installing this, try disabling your antivirus or firewall. I've had them play havoc on programs before, even to the point of having to uninstall them.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
I got to set PIT file in the message box then in has been sitting at "do not turn off target "

How long should I see this for?
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Also I don't see a progress bar on the phone...
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Give it a little while like 10 minutes and if it hadn't done anything. Id do a battery pull if you can do the 3 button combo to get into download mouse
[Captivate Android Development] Mr.Immaculate:
Your issue might be where you "verify debugging." I ran into the same problem. You don't want to mount the drives to your PC. Have USB debugging enabled, but don't pull down the status bar and tap to mount the drives.

When I was trying this with the drives mounted, the progress bar would stall at about 20% on my PC for a while, then the phone would reboot to recovery, but only once. No ROM loaded or installed.

Once I stopped doing that and just plugged the phone in it worked perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
^ This :) 10char
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
I tried a few times but going right to download mode and my timing was off ao i couldnt use your program to flash back to stock. I ended up getting it to work with odin, however i did use your program to root and it was painless. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] j1mb34m:
thanks for this awesome program. I've flashed dozens of roms to my captivate, and am looking forward to trying this app! Also, I read the first few pages of the thread and have a comment about the phone automatically going back into Samsung kies mode after wiping and flashing a new rom. It's a HUGE pain, because if you don't unplug the USB during the first boot after odin one-clicking, then you get a driver error that's only resolvable by rebooting your phone, computer, or both. Like I said, I've flashed dozens of roms to my captivate, and the biggest problem I've had has been to remember to unplug the usb immediately after the one-click process completes (during phone boot up). So, all I'm saying is that since this app is 'for beginners,' you might consider adding in a note telling people to unplug during first boot, then change usb settings, then reconnect usb.

App just got done downloading--thanks a lot for it! :)
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I've never had that happen to me. I just go in and switch the type to mass storage. I've even tried it kies mode and I think it had worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] nissy86:
I would suggest addition of a few features:

1) Wipe date

2) Wipe partition

3) Wipe dalvik cache...

Or is it necessary for each flash? :p
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Haha. I could try and put that in a future release under advance section since it's not really necessary for each flash (i know flashing to stock isn't necessary step anymore either but I like it for safety). Anyone interested in these features for a future release?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
What mode do I need to be in to wipe battery stats?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Just plugged in. Not mounted. With USB debugging on. The press the button.
[Captivate Android Development] morganetwork:
I appreciate the responses, but this is not the problem I am having. Every time I run it I verify that usb debugging is enabled, and I never mount the phone. When I click on Select/Copy rom, the status bar is full, and instead of pushing the rom and clockwork to the phone then rebooting into recovery, the rom opens in the folder where it is stored and nothing happens on the phone.

I have attempted to do this with several different roms, on 2 different captivates, all with the same results. The entire program works flawlessly except for the rom installation.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Try to go to the program folder and start it with admin rights.
[Captivate Android Development] morganetwork:
Still the same problem. Once I click the button, the status bar nearly fills. The rom I choose, (stored in folder on my desktop), is then opened in the same folder creating another zip folder called "Rom" and an MsDos Batch file named CopyRom.

I am running windows xp home and like I said, every other step of the program such as odin, root, and non-market apps work flawlessly.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Hmm... I honestly don't know. I don't have a windows xp computer so I don't know if that could be the issue. I only have windows 7 and vista to test it on and it works on both of those fine. Anyone else have this problem on windows xp?
[Captivate Android Development] morganetwork:
I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I read the changelog for 2.5 and it says you updated Odin to 1.81. I have tried 2 different downloads on the OP and both of them showed Odin3 v. 1.00. However, Odin works fine for me for both the FTS and the MC.

Not sure. Still a Great program and I plan on continuing to use it. Just thought I'd see if anyone else had the same problems and try to help along the development.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
If it's the Rogers version then it'll be ODIN 1.00 as the other was causing issues. The regular version should have ODIN 1.81

EDIT: and 1.81 only applies to the 3 button fix part. One click is 1.00 and it won't be upgraded because that's the only one click that we know about.
[Captivate Android Development] morganetwork:
Ah, ok. We're good on the Odin part then. I'll keep working at it and if I come accross any changes I'll be sure to post them.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Is this avail for MAC yet? :-P
[Captivate Android Development] Owais1437:
I tried to remove the bootlogo. With Odin3. Rogers captivate 2.2 and well I loaded the right att file and repartition and when it rebooted I had a messed up screen and it took me to recovery with an error and after another reboot my screen was totally blank. So I had to odin1click then Rogers stock through odin3 and it worked properly the phone but the att screen was still their
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Are you using the latest version? 2.6? As I removed that from the latest version due to bugs.

EDIT: No mac version from me is planned as i don't own one. Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] sehzadecan:
best tool...thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
kindly awaiting 100% Rogers Odin implementation with the ATT boot logo removal =) thanks bay_wolf
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
there is a rogers version, it just doesnt use ONE CLICK odin, it uses odin3 and a rom image. not much different. no att boot logo removal required. odin one click cant be edited as the source code isnt released..
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
I dont mean by one click. I just simply mean a full ODIN restore... It seems when I used it, I was unable to remove the ATT Logo and it did not clear all data before ODIN'ing (lol) which caused errors on first boot. But since it wiped out my CWM, i couldnt Factory reset like that. So i just flashed regular 1-click
[Captivate Android Development] j1mb34m:
Yea, I think you're right. The problems I mentioned I had on my pc. On my laptop, I have no such issue. My bad!

Btw, this app is a helluva time saver!
[Captivate Android Development] js8:
i9000 version?

Hello Bay_Wolf - This looks like a fabulous bundle and time saver. Any chance you might be convinced to do a version for the i9000?
[Captivate Android Development] kvenubabu:
Hi Bay_Wolf, Thank You for AIO Captivate Toolbox. It is an awesome program. I used it to flash Perception on my Captivate. Sorry for a small amount. My small donation in your inbox. Thnx Venu
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
No problem. I'm glad it helped you out and no amount is too small. I appreciate anything. Haha.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Hey Bay_Wolf thanks to you I finally flashed my first ROM. I did soft brick my phone twice using the 3 button method. Everything worked until the phone booted then it came up with a screen saying Kernal Panic Upload Mode and hung up there. The one-click method worked fine I just don't have the 3 button fix. I have the captivate and was flashing pheonix 5.2. Any idea what might have caused this? I'd really like to have the 3 button fix.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Could be a few different things:

The USB port/cable you used may not have been the best (use the OEM cable if possible and plug it into the USB port on the back of your desktop computer or on the side opposite the one you used if it's a laptop)

Try to reinstall the program (maybe the files didn't copy right)
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I would think if anything it would be the program. Since the one-click worked using the same stock cable and usb port. I'll try downloading the program again and reinstalling it. Thanks.

Edit: Are you coming out with a new version anytime soon? If so I'll wait until then since I'm up and running.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I'm not currently working on an update since most of the bugs have been fixed. I've been working on a i9000 version of it. So, you're safe to grab the current version. And I'm just guessing the USB cable or port since I've heard this issue happening before and it was caused by that. And one-click may have worked but the two ODIN version are different which could explain why the one-click worked but the other didn't. Just curious, which usb port did you use?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Left side of my ASUS laptop running windows 7.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Okay, next time you're switching ROMs just try reinstalling the program and switch the side of the USB ports. That's the only guess i have. Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I just reinstalled it and the next time I'll try your suggestions. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] eyekyu:
Osx osx osx osx osx ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
This is a great program and a huge time saver. Thank you for all your work on this. I do have a suggestion that would probably help first time flashers: automatically copy the Titanium Backup folder from the phone to the computer so that if the user does a master clear they don't lose their backups. Then push the Titanium Backup folder back to the phone after the custom rom has been installed.

EDIT: How about a portable version that could be installed to a flash drive. I know the drivers aren't portable, but is the rest of the program? As long as the computer has .net 4 and admin rights the program should work properly from a flash drive, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Thanks for the tip about Titanium backup. I'll try to implement that. And for the portable version. Well I don't plan on making one but you could just copy the program folder to a flash drive and it should work. I haven't tested that but I'd think it would work theoretically.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
AIO I9000 Toolbox is now live. LINK
[Captivate Android Development] clemmie:
Hey buddy, Great program! You rescued my butt by getting me back to stock on Rogers. However, I'm having the same problem as the chap below, I believe it's when you are in 2e recovery and trying to flash the rooted update.zip package. I didn't read that there was a resolution to the issue:

I'm thinking about doing a Master Clear via ODIN, then reflashing to stock eclair, then trying the root again. Will the master clear help with this? Although I'm back on 2.1, all the files and folders I had with the 2.2 Rogers Froyo are still there, so maybe there is something that is still resident there that is preventing the Root from executing and that a Master Clear would solve.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] novagator:
Probably a dumb question, but if I want to install a theme using the tool, do I do it the same way as flashing a ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] clemmie:
The more I try to reset, the worse it gets...

So now I have a new problem. Master cleared with the dialer code, and had root again on 2.1. Kies will(of course) not recognize the phone, so I fired up the toolbox and tried to flash back to stock. When it rebooted in recovery, I get the following message:

update media, please wait

E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110

(Invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

copy default media failed.

I looked it up and there is a sense in the i9000 forums that grabbing Odin 1-click and flashing back to stock will clear it up, with a 512 pit file. However those are i9000 specific and will likely not work. I am downloading the Captivate version now, but it's for the I897 and I am running the I896. This should work for me shouldn't it? I'm getting a little tired of trying this that and the other to get myself back to stock. Please comment if you have any experience or advice to offer.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
You should donate to this guy

Hey everybody,

if you have not yet donated, this guy (and the ROM devs and the video makers) deserve you donation. They have provided tremendous benefits to us and put in many hours to do it--not to mention having skills most of us just don't so could not do this ourselves.

It is just the right thing to do.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I had pretty muched fixed this issue with the rogers edition in version 2.6. It seemed the later ODIN versions was causing this. If you aren't running 2.6 then try that. If not then I'd just use the normal version with the one click. Sorry, I've tried to eliminate that as much as possible in 2.6.
[Captivate Android Development] clemmie:
Thanks so much for the quick reply. I do happen to be using 2.6, should I be using an earlier non-Rogers version? I downloaded the I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe but I can't seem to get it to do a master clear, and it just seems to hang when I click on start to flash the JF6 firmware. Any thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
When do we do a master clear, and are we prompted to do it? And why do we do it?

For Tibu, if we have the paid version, does it automatically "know" that?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
It'll just wipe all the internal storage so you MUST copy your Tibu backup to your computer before doing so. In most cases you don't need to, some people just felt like they do.
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
Also, maybe instead of having the user download Titanium Backup, the tool box could do it and push it to the phone. In order to install TiBu the phone has to have market access and that assumes that the user has set that up already. Also, an option to backup the TiBu Pro if it exists on the phone, again so the user doesn't have to set up the market to install it.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
True but I didn't want to include an app since they get out of date periodically. I'll try and see if I could get it to pull it off the internet then install on the phone.

-Bay_wolf.

EDIT: Also I have a few USB jigs for sale (only two right now). So, if you're interested PM me and the first two will get them. $8 shipped.
[Captivate Android Development] djb703:
I was very excited when i saw this application.

I haven't been able to get my captivate to ever work with a computer, i always thought it was my drivers.

So i removed my old driver installs, downloaded and installed aio captivate toolbox, and then installed the drivers provided with the application with the button. I'm on 64bit Windows 7.

Watched the video followed going into usb Debug mode.

When i plug the phone in the PC i do not get any notification in the notification bar (as i saw in the video), it does vibrate and charge, but thats it, Odin can not find it, when i click the check that USB debugging mode is enabled.

So does this mean my phone is really borken? I havn't called up samsung tech support since i always assumed it was a driver issue, but is the notification bar suppose to pop up about usb being connected even if the drivers are wrong?

This has been annoying as hell not being able to get my pictures off with just USB, and i am afraid to flash roms with clockwork since i don't know if oden will work.

I have done the three button download mode stuff to root, and rooted without the need of USB. But i really want to get into roms, and get this usb stuff fixed.

Do you guys think i need to call samsung or ATT about this USB problem, or am i still doing something wrong?

It is in debug mode, but has never worked in any other mode like mass storage either. It chrages fine thorugh USB but thats about it.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide, also if this is the wrong place to post this let me know.

THis program gave me hope, but looks like i'm still stuck with no USB working for now.

:(
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
In the settings menu there is a place to change what type of USB Mode (not the debugging menu). It's under one of the menus (sorry can't rmemeber), anyway it changes the phone from mass storage, kies, and a few other USB modes. Try to set that to mass storage and then connect to the computer. You should get somehting to pop up.
