[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
I have never had gingerbread with this captivate since I got it warranty replaced. Therefore I just use the one click method with bootloaders?

Im new to this whole bootloader thing, I wish big on flashing roms when it was all 2.2.1 :p

Why would one want to flash the no bootloader package after installing the bootloader one?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
flashing boot loaders is very risky, if odin locks up durring the bootloaders at the wrong time, youre screwed. so flash them once, and never do it again. there is no reason to downgrade your bootloaders if you go back to 2.2 for fun.,
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Sorry a bit confused.

So just flash the file that says with bootloaders n im good to go? :)
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
actually just to be absolutly safe.lets do 2 part.

flash these bootloaders by themselves .http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129821

follow its instructions,

then flash my oneclick NO bootloader (NOBL) package.

my one clicks do like to lock up...
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Damn I should of read that before starting the flash, lets pray it doesn't lock up.

I'm so impatient :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
if it locks up its RIGHT at the start.and only need to worry if it locks up on " SBL.bin " or " boot.bin "

Amazing up and running, you're the man!
[Captivate Android Development] jung-na:
guys, question!

can i flash these using CWM?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
read the instructions!

does it mention c w m? if you don't know what Odin, or Odin 1 clicks are, you shouldn't be flashing anything to your phone! you should be reading!
[Captivate Android Development] durangatang:
Thanks TRusselo! Worked great to bring my phone back to stock so I can sell it.
[Captivate Android Development] infinitefame:
Quick question. Does the stock 2.3 rom contain the Ocean Waves live wallpaper? I've tried several apks for this wallpaper and none of them work on 2.3. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
no. it is stock.

try looking for "secret wallpaper.apk" or "secret wallpaper 2.apk"
[Captivate Android Development] mswirski:
I've tried using the 2.3.3 standard download to flash stock on my captivate, via mac osx.

I use Heimdall, and get the error that there is no framework.xml

Is there a way to generate a framework.xml for your downloads?

Or could you upload Heimdall Oneclick packages?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
i dont use heimdall.. know almost nothing about it. but i think you want to search the captivate development section for the heimdall one click creator. it makes one-click packages from what i have been told.
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
Mind telling me why we can't repartition to the 2.3.3 stock ROM or is it simply because it contains bootloaders which would affect the repartition?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
the "one click" packages *dont* re-partition, because it was causing the one-click program to lock-up while flashing.

the NON one-click packages you *can* re-partition manually if you need to do so...

EDIT below... keep reading
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
This isn't the One-Click. This is the standard Stock ROM that you uploaded, which I was referring to, and you added this notice along with it.

From the quoted phrase, you seem to recommend to repartition to 2.2 rather than the 2.3.3 ROM. Also, you say not to use the PIT file with the 2.3.3 stock ROM. Could you tell me why this is the case? (I hope that sounds less self-entitling to you.)
[Captivate Android Development] erbsmokah:
Its because there is a different pit file for gingerbread.

You can follow his instructions, or flash the UCKF1 one click then the 2.3.3 ROM that he posted. Or you can find the correct pit file and use that to repartition, I'm fairly certain its JE3_S1JE4.pit but I'm not positive and using the wrong file is bad... very bad.

Unless you are on MIUI/CM7 or an ICS rom you probably don't need to re-partition anyways.

Also, You may or may not get stuck with an AT&T boot screen if you flash UCKF1 before the rogers 2.3.3, Personally this never happens to me and I'm confident that it won't happen to you either but... Trusselo will mention it if I don't beat him to it. :P If it does happen, you can follow his instructions and all will be well.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
NO. actually forgot about that.

the 2.3.3 does NOT contain dbdata.rfs. this is how it came from rogers! this is THE file they used. if you repartition (with ANY pit) you wont have dbdata partition written and error out on first boot.

also the OTHER pit erbsmokah was talking about has a larger cache partition to install apps upto 50 MB. it doesnt matter what pit you use, but dont use pit with the 2.3.3 stock file that came from keis (the file i use). and if this is the file that keis used then it proves : ****kies did not repartition your device for gingerbread****

[Captivate Android Development] daebaybay:
Easiest flash back to stock ever. Didn't even take 5 mins. Thanks OP. You've been thanked :)
[Captivate Android Development] xtracrispy69:
hey guys I'm hoping the community can help me. i was on gb miui. Never messed with bootloaders or kernals other then what came with stock miui. So I wanted to try weUI based off ics. Simple wipe/factory reset install rom. Hung on boot, few folks have had that with this rom. So I figured I'd reflash back to stock 2.2 using odin 1.82 and the pit that came with it. So set the pit, set the stock 2.2 rogers tar, checked repartition and fails on factoryrs.rfs 30 seconds in. I tried 3 different cords, 2 computers and multiple usb slots. All fail on factoryrs.rfs. So even in unchecking re-partition this tanks. I have a jig so getting into d/l mode is easy, I just can't get this darn thing back to stock. so i'm guessing (big guess here) I have ics files on my phone, how would I get back to 2.2. Be gentle I'm still slightly new at this!
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Try re-downloading the 2.2 file from the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] xtracrispy69:
did that. and tried three different odin versions 1.81, 1.82, 1.85. Tried 2.1 stock and 2.2 stock all fail at factory. could it be because I'm on gb/ics now that I can't revert back to stock? could bootloaders be involved? would give anything to figure out how to get this monster back to something stock and done so properly! I have all the tools here at work with a properly setup pc and two different cords. just stumped.

see the pit file is what I"m wondering about. can i just straight flash stock 2.3.3? I know it doesn't use a pit, but most posts say flash 2.2 with pit, then upgrade to 2.3. I want to run to stock properly,
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
I have been flashing back from ginger bread and ice cream sandwich without a pit a file for a while. I haven't had any problems.

All the files on this page are the same ones I use to flash stock every so often. I flashed to stock a couple days ago.
[Captivate Android Development] xtracrispy69:
if you flash back to stock gb, what process and files did you do? did you do a master clear of sorts? how do you ensure it is the cleanest install you can?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
I use the odin one click packages.
[Captivate Android Development] xtracrispy69:
ok so the odin flash of 2.3.3 didn't work, failed factoryrs again. see i would use the one clicks but it says not to use them if coming from cm7/miui. I'm coming from miui or ics miui (likely the latter). So I'm thinking this isn't a good thing to try

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

would you use the one click with the bootloaders or not?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Try the one without the boot loaders first. If it succeeds, but boots to a green screen. you need to flash the boot loaders, we can worry about that later.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
mediafire links now replaced outdated megaupload.my dropbox account got overrun.

must un-rar first though.
[Captivate Android Development] nightblazze:
Thank-you sir!

This thread's existence is awesome. Used the 2.3.3 with bootloader one click odin to restore from Slim 3.3 ICS. no issues throughout the whole process other then trying to get my computer to recognize my captivate. I'm handing off my captivate to my dad who isn't as tech friendly, thought 2.3.3 stock rogers rom should be good.

PM me, if anyone thinks there's a better/stable rom out there for an old man trying his hand on an android phone....

Thanks again Tristyn! (used your beaver with the canadian flag bootscreen since I first rooted my device)
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
That's funny I still use the beaver boot screen on one of my captivate myself, but with my name added.

I personally didn't like Rogers gb. There're a few Issues that were deal brakers, like the Mic. Button on Swype don't work. Gps is horrible..

Either go rooted kk4 stock, att, with a custom kernel and boot screen, i have a rooted deodexed kk4 rom posted, just flash in CWM. If you use that rom you won't have to worry about the boot screen.

Or i love aokp kang build 32 by sixstringsg, The only current problems I have run into info sending video mms.
[Captivate Android Development] yeeahnick:
I wrote you a pm but im writing it here as well incase you have 1000000 pms and dont feel like reading them.

I know this isnt your work but i know you use it from your post above. I just have 4 questions that im hoping you can answer before i flash it on my wifes phone.

1. Is everything working with the i896?

2. In the installation instructions on the xda aokp thread step 4 says to "flash latest THS build (just to clean up from other devices build.prop issues)" but on the official website http://forum.aokp.co/page/releases/_/build-34-r19 step 4 isnt listed. Did you do that step? If so, where do you find the package?

3. How easy is it to go back to your one click 2.3.3 package after flashing AOKP

4. Does flashing your one click 2.3.3 bring back the rogers boot screen or still stuck with ATT?

Thanks alot!
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
1. not sure what you mean by is everything working??? it has always worked.. rogers gingerbread? not the microphone button in swype. gps is sucky. does everything on AOKP work? yes.

2. click the "show content" button in my sig, find and read the instructions for " how to flash custom roms". A) Odin flash speedmod kernel, B) cwm flash Glitch V14 CM9 kernel, C) cwm flash AOKP. done. my way. (THS is team hacksung ICS rom. ignore.)

3. reboot into download and press start.

4. the one-click yes. NOTE: if you have had gingerbread ever on the phone... dont flash the one with bootloaders to avoid possibility of hard bricking the phone. none of the packages will downgrade your bootloaders so you will always have the gingerbread ones as they work with everything.
[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
Sorry....old thread, I know. I'm coming at this from a slightly different angle....

I896 on Rogers, was running Darky9.5 (Froyo) for a long long time (phone became I897 of course).

I switched to SlimICS 4.2 which required a CM9 Flash if coming from Froyo. I've never had GB and I'm still on Froyo bootloaders (AFAIK). Everything works fine except my boot screens are a total mess (they were on Darky as well). I don't care about returning to stock, warranties, etc. I'm just hoping that down the road when I go to a JB ROM that I can still use the Froyo bootloaders.

Is there any problem with going from ICS to stock 2.3.3 (Odin package with BLs) then right back to the same ICS ROM? Is there any point?

I do note that the poster a few up from me went from a SlimICS to 2.3.3 w/BL but I don't know if he already had GB BLs or not. I seem to be one of the few who skipped GB completely.....
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Am unsure about jellybean but ICS did not need the gingerbread loaders. These will however fix your boot screen however there is a guide in my signature when you click the button to customize your boot screen.
[Captivate Android Development] hitechchef:
If you try to reinstall GB bootloaders over ICS/JB, you will get into bootloops. One safe way is to go back to Froyo, flash bootloaders for GB. You can either flash i897 bootloaders or i9000 bootloaders. i9000 are rumoured to have better battery life. In case you want to custoomize the bootloader image, you can follow Trusello's post. Also there is a post somewhere in which a user has posted method to automate i9000 and i897 boot customization.

I'd rather have full compatibility with GB bootloaders that work fine with Froyo, GB, ICS and JB. Post msg in case you need more help. This is an amazing phone and devs like Trusello have made this a fun forum. Please spank their thanks button as you bring your phone to awesomeness.
[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
Thanks for the quick replies guys. For the long term peace of mind I'll probably just get on GB bootloaders and not have to worry about it in future.

If I'm interpreting correctly, it sounds like I can go from ICS (w/Froyo BLs) to stock Froyo for I896 as per the OP using the Odin3 flash utility (not 1 click). Does it make more sense to go to any old custom Froyo ROM instead (ie something already rooted) or will I run into partition problems because I believe the whole reason I had to flash CM9 before SlimICS was to repartition?

This is kind of off topic but if anyone feels like setting me straight here, awesome......I've restored from nandroid backups before but only when I was still running the same ROM. Now say I go back to stock Froyo, then GB bootloaders, then flash the same SlimICS Rom I'm running now. If I attempt to do a CWM restore at that point should it be able to pull it off...ie not have to go through all the trouble of setting up everything the way it is right now a second time?

I'm very good at following clear instructions but the more knowledgeable you guys are the more you speak in code. :p
[Captivate Android Development] hitechchef:
I think slim requires you to install CM in order to have compatible CWM recovery. On the website it says you can install any ICS kernel and proceed to install slim. However, better to follow the full procedure rather than shortcuts. Captivates are very temperamental.

These are the steps I follow to get from froyo to ICS and GB BLs with custom boot image. Many users may disagree, but they work for me every time.

1. Download and install stock 2.1 from the beginniing of this thread. Use 512 pit ODIN. This will not change your BLs. Reboot. Now you have stock recovery.

2. Root your device and install Trusello's 3e recovery. Alternatively, there is a thread somewhere that points to stock kernel with infused voodoo and CWM recovery. You can use that also.

3. Place a rooted GB rom, Team Nyx ICS and slim ICS files on your internal storage.

4. Flash GB bootloaders. You can use i896 or i9000 BLs. I use i9000, seem to work smoother and better battery life for some reason,

5. Flash rooted GB rom from your internal storage. Reboot.

6. In case you want to change the image for your bootloader, now is the time. Follow Trusello's sig. You cannot change this image after flashing ICS. You will get stuck in bootloops and will have to start over.

7. Flash team Nyx ICS. In the installer, choose "stock kernel with Devil recovery". Slim is uncomfortable with TWRP. Reboot.

8. Flash slim rom files. Reboot and enjoy.

PS: Good idea to have a working jig, in case you get stuck some where. Also remember to remove any lagfixes between any rom and kernel flashes. Also not a good idea to restore from CWM or tibu between different versions.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
No it's not necessary if you follow first post
[Captivate Android Development] hitechchef:
Which step??
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
All of them . Cm is not necessary to install slim
[Captivate Android Development] hitechchef:
Says on slim site to do so. I tried without cm and kept inn getting forced back into recovery. Flashing devil kernel before slim was the other way I was able to install slim. Also this method gives me the option to have a custom boot screen.

I'll try flashing slim again from froyo. Is there a shorter way you could suggest to go from stock Rogers froyo or gb to slim.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Retracted - thought this was my other thread. See my next posts.
[Captivate Android Development] hitechchef:
Your guide is the best guide on XDA to go back to stock from any rom. I remember using your help when I first got stuck with a captivate on ATT bootloop. You helped me with jig and all that stuff. As far as I believe you are the goto guy for captivates. I must be missing something in the posts that I was helping with. I believe that person wanted to know a safe way of "going up to ICS" not to "come down to stock". I might have been wrong. You are right about first post being all we need to go to stock. The steps I listed were what I took to install Slim ROM from stock froyo.

i tried a usb port in the back, it works now =D

[Captivate Android Development] Satstalker:
I just re-flashed my Rogers Samsung captivate back to stock using this file 2.3.3 Gingerbread NO Bootloaders Odin3 One-Click ROGERS packages!. But when i connect it to Samsung Kies it says your device does not support software upgrading via kies. So i did a little searching and i found my CSC says unknown. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
If you are on gingerbread there is no other updates available kies is garbage and there is no other reason to use it other than to update but there is no update.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
And to fix CSC (as useless as it is) you must do a factory reset then flash with Odin and immediately boot into stock recovery, then it will say applying CSC done
[Captivate Android Development] Satstalker:
So i re flash with the same one click odin 2.3.3 no bootloaders file again or a different one?

After flashing and the phone re boots i have to turn it off and boot into stock recovery for it to apply the csc file.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
any stock will do.

and dont let it boot, better yet, as odin is nearing the end of the flash, just before it automatically reboots, hold the button combo for recovery and when odin reboots the phone it will go into recovery
[Captivate Android Development] Satstalker:
Ok thanks. Ill give that a try.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Once again though, don't know why you are bothering.. you are on gingerbread, so there is no reason to use keis.... out you want to update further than gingerbread, you need xda and cwm, not keis
[Captivate Android Development] Satstalker:
TRusselo my friend, You are the man. It worked like a charm! CSC is now there!

The only reason i want the CSC file there is because i am selling the phone and i want it back to original state.

Thanks you very much.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Ahh ok makes sense now.. No prob
[Captivate Android Development] camxv:
I need a question answered. If I'm running 2.1 and I want to upgrade to 2.3.3. Will the Oneclick odin for 2.3.3 do the trick? Is there any preparation needed? Or just boot into download mode and start odin? I read the instructions but I got a bit confused.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Yes. Use the one with Bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] camxv:
Do I have to perform a factory reset at all or do i just run it once my phone is in download mode?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Upgrading from stock to stock no, downgrading, or going from custom to stock yes
[Captivate Android Development] camxv:
So just plug in my phone and hit start? Cause Im going from stock to stock
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Yup
[Captivate Android Development] camxv:
Finally went for it and it worked like a charm! TRusselo, you are the man!
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
yes it would work just fine. better yet load it with AOKP jellybean.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremists:
Am confused i read all the tutorial But still am confused Well here's My scenario
