I got the APN settings from the Rogers Red Board when I picked up a T-Mobile Vibrant and had to manually enter them.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
The one I use:

Name: Rogers

APN: internet.com

username: wapuser1

password: wap

I think that is what you're looking for?
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I do have those.... Are they the same? That is what I wa wondering....
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Ah, I see. As far as I can tell, they are the same. I've had no issues using either.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Ok. Nice to know. Since I flash ROMs a lot.... Always good to have a back up.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
yesterday after i flashed this and got rid of that God aweful ATT boot, and loaded phoenix and my apps back on, i went to bed early with a sence of satisfaction and accompishment!
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Lol, glad I'm helping people sleep better at night.
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
Thank you so much for this!
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Can somebody post the Odin3 v1.7 link here on the thread. I have a Odin3 v1.3 which takes me back to the wrong stock I think but still gives me the AT&T boot screen. Please and thanks....
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
dude check the first post. its been there ALL DAY

Is my |OP| really that bad? Or are people just that excited they cant see straight?

I keep getting asked things that are right there in it !?!
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Blind as a bat.....man I glad you are on my side!!!!

So my young op another question, on some roms that use the one clic odin`s that have the start and master clear buttons suggest that a master clear is done before flashing. Does the Odin3 v1.7 do a master clear as a default? Is it necessary to do a master clear? Remember when answering that some folks here on the site are old foggies that do not understand the computer and its nuances as well as you young pups do.....get my drift???? Please be gentle or you cant have the car tonight!!!! Said with laughter no sarcasm from an old foggie!!!
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
no probs!

master clear not in this ODIN, and is only in "ODIN ONE CLICK Stock flashing utility"

and is not needed flashing this rom will re-partition(format) the system areas. (pit file is for partitioning)

If you want a FULL wipe with NOTHING left, use clockwork recovery (or other methods) to "Format SD", this will wipe any APPS2SD or personal files you transferred as well as some extra app data, such as game files and levels.

can i have the keys now?
[Captivate Android Development] agentfusion:
I think I love you.

Seriously.

I have been wanting stock but without losing the ability to sideload my apps since stupid at&t locks their android phones to market-only.

Thanks! Now I just need to figure out how to use odin in linux.
[Captivate Android Development] agentfusion:
Oh wait... Does this work for 897? I hate stock att but I live in the US. If this will work on mine, great. if not.. Damnit! If it sim locks me to rogers, that's fine, I will just sim unlock with market app. If it will brick me, then no effing way. :)
[Captivate Android Development] raymar23:
I don't "think" it will break your phone as they are nearly identical, and our i896 does not have problems with the att odin one click (except for the at&t bloat and lockdown crap) .

But please don't take my word for it, as I am only speculating. You should wait for an experienced answer from a dev or such.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
For Linux, instead of Odin, you can use Heimdall. You'll just have to extract the files from the .tar file in the .zip file, then select each file for it's appropriate field. I've flashed this way on Windows without any problems and it can be installed on Linux.

It's the same hardware, so it should work. I say "should" because there's always a chance of error when flashing, so I can't guarantee it will work. There is no reason it shouldn't though. The label behind the battery on the Rogers SGH-i896 actually has SGH-i897 in the IC and FCC ID numbers. SGH-i896 users have been flashing SGH-i897 stock with the only problem of getting stuck with the AT&T boot screen no matter what was flashed afterwards (with the exception to this now). The boot loaders were not included in this file, so even if something went wrong, there will be a way to get it back up and running again.
[Captivate Android Development] mechanical tool:
Really glad theres a way to go back all the way to proper stock without any hacks to fix the boot screen.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
this is a good example of why linux users should have a dual boot system.

i get it. you dont like windows. im not going to argue. everyone likes what they like.

but the world runs on windows, sometimes you just need it. Dual boot is the best of both worlds!
[Captivate Android Development] agentfusion:
As a proper linux user, I do not condone piracy, and I will not pirate an operating system, so you show me where I can legally get a copy of windows for free, and I will gladly dual boot
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
plenty of ways without piracy, (why does everyone go there) ,

1. join "microsoft developers", you can do things to get FREE COPIES,

2. work at futureshop or any other microsoft certified retail store and do the microsoft sales certifactaion, FREE COPIES

3. go to a microsoft convention, FREE COPIES

4. buy a cheap referb computer from a small time computer shop, use its copy.

I worked at futureshop for a few months when i moved here, i was good at selling computers but not at making commission on screwing the customers with un-needed crap!

@agentfusion - i dont know if you are aware but this is an ongoing subject for me.

I GOT MY COPY LEAGAL. PLEASE EVERYONE STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT PIRACY!
[Captivate Android Development] agentfusion:
1) Didn't know about that one. I'm not a developer, so I don't know what I'd be able to do to get a free copy that way.

2) Not changing jobs for a copy of Windows.

3) Not travelling hundreds of miles for a copy of Windows.

4) Not spending money for a copy of Windows.

Out of *all* of the above methods, there is only one that involves not spending any money in any way for a copy of Windows, and it's a not a definite way to get one.. it's a 'maybe'.

So.. once again.. I'm not going to switch operating systems. Especially not over *one* application that has a linux alternative (Heimdall).

"The World Runs on Windows" ... er. Sure! But my phone doesn't. Neither does the Internet.

Linux is a leading server operating system, and runs the 10 fastest supercomputers in the world and is a Top Contender in the Desktop OS Market. :) In a World without Walls and Fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
[Captivate Android Development] agentfusion:
I can't seem to get it to work without having a Primary and Secondary Boot file. The Frontend "Start" button stays greyed out, so I thought maybe it was a missing library or something on my system, so when I tried to do it via command line, I got the error that if I'm going to repartition with a pit I need to specify primary and secondary boot files as well as all of the other files.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
I know he has it programmed to grey out the start button as a safety precaution under certain settings. Have you tried flashing without the .pit file? It's been a while since I used Heimdall. I think I ran into the same situation and flashed without the .pit, but I can't remember for sure. The creator's xda thread can be found here. If the OP doesn't explain it, a thread search should find the answer.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
I never told anyone to switch operating systems, ALL I SUGGESTED IS DUAL BOOT. and as you have found out heimdall is buggy, have fun using odin in linux buddy!

you like linux, i get it, i NEVER said anything bad about it. you dont have to be an a$$. im trying to help!

[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
It's not a bug, it's a safety precaution to prevent people who don't learn how to use it first from screwing up their phones.

Reading the back-and-forth between you two, I would say you're both misunderstanding and reading into each others replies different from what the poster meant. Let's drop it and move on.
[Captivate Android Development] agentfusion:
Thank you. Turns out, I just needed to omit the partition table. It was fine with the partitions I already have set, and it actually flashed this rom faster via command line than I've ever seen any rom flash with any other tool.

I'm glad you respond civilly rather than going off the deep-end and reading insults where none were intended, then making accusations that I'm the one being unreasonable. If it weren't for that, I might have not even given this rom a chance and tried one of the other stock Rogers Rom threads here on this forum after being called an 'ass' for not wanting to modify my computer for one single application.
[Captivate Android Development] agentfusion:
I apologize, I posted my latest reply before I saw this post, otherwise I would have held my comments to myself. Thank you again. Heimdall works wonderfully. I am now contently using this Stock Rogers 2.1, and I am very glad to no longer have the at&t logo at boot.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
it reads as if you were being overly defensive,

if that wasnt your intention im sorry

, but please drop the subject.

EDIT: what he said ^^^^^^^^
[Captivate Android Development] aKeio:
So can this be used as our new "back to stock before flash" ROM?

Like instead of using odin-one-click to AT&T stock before a custom rom, we just flash our Rogers stock (hence avoiding AT&T boot?)?
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Now now boys the real issue is will the NHL make it back to Winnipeg? A tragedy that they have Hockey in some place the US of A where nobody cares!!!

But the real question I have is about the boot animation, does the Rogers one show back up after flashing? I think it is yes but can you guys confirm? And make arrangements for the NHL also to........
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
yes just use odin3 1.7 (in OP) instead of odin-one-click. just follow the instructions.

yes it will put back the rogers boot ani. it will be exactly like it was out of the box. "warranty passable". but flashing a custom rom again will remove...
[Captivate Android Development] AznCowlick:
Can you upgrade to froyo via Kies with this? Kies can detect my phone but it won't see the firmwire. I tried 1.5 and 2.0. :(

Thanks for releasing this btw, I flashed Darky's Rom and got a weird fuzzy bootlogo. Then I flashed stock 2.2 for rogers and the f*k*d up image was still there. Flashing this definitely fixed the problem. Thankssss :D
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
I have found that once you root and play around with rom`s kies does not work. Kies is generally a very crappy program, well to put it another way it is garbage and even when it worked it was very very buggy!!! Stay away from kies it will just pi$$ off as it works so little of the time.....:p imho
[Captivate Android Development] AznCowlick:
Awww really? Damn I wanted to get 2.2 from kies 'cause the ODIN stock 2.2 was missing a few samsung apps even though I never use 'em. I just want that fresh stock feeling to it again :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
You should be able to update as you normally would through Kies if you flash to stock. Did you choose repartition? I haven't tried with this one, but I was able to update to 2.2 on my T-Mobile Vibrant through Kies after flashing it back to stock 2.1.

Did you try this one?
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Good point I was able to have Kies recognize my phone last flash back to Eclair 2.1 but I used a american version. It recognized the phone but would not let me update to 2.2. So when you go back to stock in theory it should work but..... Even before I rooted and romed etc, Kies was and is crap. When I had my BB the propitiatory program from Rim was far superior. Tons of people complain about it.

I have not tried this program (back to stock) yet, but I have high hopes it will connect and let me download....lol but I will never go back to stock unless I have a warranty issue!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I did a quick browse and didn't see this. Is it possible to create a CWM of the stock ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] jonski89:
hey guys.... a little Off Topic here... can someone provide me a copy of nv_data.bin? i messed up my product code and im at a lost how to fix it... would need to copy something to get it back pls. thanks. or provide me the lines where i need to input the hex to get the product code... thanks...
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
sim unlocked or locked?

screw it heres both!
[Captivate Android Development] Benjamin Dobell:
If you have found a bug with Heimdall then please report it.

If you haven't found a bug then please don't make arbitrary claims that my software is buggy ;)
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
bay_wolf's AIO toolkit website and forum say that his 3.0 version that uses heimdall was buggy. sorry if i misinterperted that. is hiemdall your program? i have not used it, but thank you for helping the cappy community anyway. :)
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
This is pure genius! Thank you so much!
[Captivate Android Development] jonski89:
Thanks so much... now off to the bat cave for me.... :D

EDIT: it says product is SGH-i896ZKATT .... supposed to be something but not ATT.... hmmm....

------

Oh well... i guess my IMEI is really busted now.... :(
[Captivate Android Development] agentfusion:
If you're going for stock, why use cwm? OP's method works flawlessly and way faster. If you're planning to go to another rom after this, then just re-install cwm then the rom you want. It's much safer and cleaner that way. If you are dead-set on installing via cwm there is a cwm stock rogers rom on this forum board, just search for it.
[Captivate Android Development] agentfusion:
Thanks for making Heimdall. It works perfectly for me. I'm sure the OP didn't mean any offense by calling it buggy... this has been the thread of massive misinterpretation. I think he merely misunderstood the posts of others, who are quick to call anything a 'bug' if a feature does not work immediately as they expected, as he uses ODIN instead of Heimdall himself.

As you can see from this thread, the OP and I both had issues with misunderstanding each other, because tone and inflection are not possible on internet forums so it's rarely easy to get someone's real meaning just by the words they have used.

Heimdall is near-perfection. I have not found a problem with it yet, but rest assured, the instant I discover an actual bug I will report it. Thanks again for an actual multi-platform tool similar to ODIN that we can actually get support for when something goes wrong (Obviously, getting support for a leaked tool like ODIN isn't going to happen.)
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
umm dude... im pretty sure thats my product code from before i got stuck with att stuff, and the i896 is only canada. the product code for the ATT is i897...
[Captivate Android Development] jonski89:
Right... this is what you have on ur bin fule... as bames on the other threat regarding restoring imei and product code.. the product code for our rogers is = sgh-i896ZKARWC so.... im pretty much confused as well since i wasn't able to check our original bin file before it got toasted.

The captivate I got from Canada, locked with rogers before i fried unlovking it... oh well, other fresh rogers captivate here who has a fresh NV_data.BIN file? like never flashed anything except the official update and please let us know what your product code is on the nv_data.bin file lines 0188008, 1288010, 0188018, 0188020 using hex editor. and if possible, post it as well so we can revered back to the normal product code of rogers captivate.

to Trusselo, thank you for helping me out. at least i feel a little less buggy with text messages coz before, it seems i had a lot of not sent text messages... but now, feels more consistent. current product code is SGH-I896ZKAATT from trusselo's bin file... any other product code from rogers captivate, please post so we can check which is which.

:D
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
yeah i'd like to know too now, has me thinking... i know i unlocked it before i got hit with att one-click-resotre when i got the no dbdata error with the old stock flash. (thats what brought on this thread for me). but, hmm now im wondering..
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I have an nv_data.bin file from my backup of the efs folder i made prior to flashing any roms. I havent used a hex eitor before but ill try to take a look tonight and see what it says. Anything else i should look for?
[Captivate Android Development] jonski89:
i guess that's about it... :D

just make sure of the lines that i posted.. if it has the right code, please provide us the hex code for each box so we can fix ours.... :D thanks theMaDHakkeR. :D
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Hey,

Im not sure how to find those strings at all (0188008, 1288010, 0188018, 0188020.) I try to search for them in HexEdit and it cant find anything. Anyway when i do an ASCII search for "SGH" I get line 188010 and i can see "SGH-I896ZKARWC". How can i search for a specific line? Seems like only ASCII works (Sorry noob to hex editing).

EDIT:

Actually i can see that for each letter in the "SGH..." there are two corresponding letters or number blocks (In the left pane).

ie. After the "896", the "Z" is on line 188010 & has "5a" as the corresponding block.

Did you want the letters and numbers that correspond? Because all i can see is that all this sits on "188010 & 188020". Sorry if this is confusing lol.
[Captivate Android Development] redjersey:
finally removed the ignoring att boot screen, thx man!
[Captivate Android Development] jonski89:
yes.. this is what I need... the letters or alpha numeric codes on the left side corresponding to the ascii... or might be a good idea to pm me a link to ur bin file... i'll post the corresponding codes here on this forum so all I896 can have a referrence of the right product code.

Thanks bro!
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Well, time to test this stock ROM. I called Rogers to get a replacement unit for my randomly shutting down phone. Can't let them think I know anything about XDA, rooting and these custom ROMs here ;)

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
apparition, let us know how it goes with the flash!!:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
it should be just fine. ive used it a few times. im also the OP.

it works.

if you are REALLY paranoid for warranty purposes and really dont want anyone to know you did anything to the phone, just make sure it never turns on again.... big speaker magnet should do the trick...

but honestly they arent going to spend hours and hours disecting your phone and looking if you screwed it up. its not financially feasible. they will hook it up to a testing machine, run some tests, and thorw it in a pile of other cappys to be refurbished...
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Glad I can finally be of some help to you after all you have done!
[Captivate Android Development] Eschatologist:
On a related note, I just got mine back from Rogers after they "fixed" it for the random shutdowns....yeah its still shutting down. :( I flashed back using the other stock roms on here, and edited the splash screen so the ATT didn't come up...no one at Rogers/TBayTel said anything the wiser.....but the fooker's still shutting down. Service guys had no record of what they actually "fixed" either. Gonna try flashing back completely with this, the updating through Kies....if it does a rando shut after that, its going back......again. :(
[Captivate Android Development] Eschatologist:
If they don't fix it next time I may just do this...
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
worked great. for some reason, when I ODIN'd it the first time, after the Rogers screen screen and samsung boot screen comes up, it would just shut itself off :S I did the whole thing again and it was fine. not sure what I did wrong the first time, but it worked great.

Got my refurb going. See if the thing has random shutdowns. Serial number is enumerated a little higher, so we'll see.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschatologist:
I got the ROM flashed ok, but I can't get Kies to find the firmware or give me the option to upgrade firmware....wtf??
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Keep on trying, Kies is a program that simply sucks!!!! Is your USB debugging on?
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Kies does suck. It's very finicky too. Which version are you using? Some versions I tried didn't work. And your computer recognizes the phone when you plug it in(ie. no driver install error)? I think I used Kies_1.5.3.10113_29 to install 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
keis rarely ever works after flashing anything non stock,

but why do you want to use keis? to get 2.2 stock? flash this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905042

but then you have 3e recovery so you'll need this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213
[Captivate Android Development] Eschatologist:
Was gonna try to do this "legitimately" lolz.....gotta love how doing it the proper way is so damn hard...
[Captivate Android Development] Eschatologist:
Yep, Kies recognizes no probs, no driver issues...just doesn't recognize the firmware on the phone and doesn't give the option to upgrade.

Downloading your version of Kies now, see if that helps
[Captivate Android Development] slaman:
Can I use Master Clear with this file?

I'm having random power offs... want to flash stock and test before sending it back to warranty...
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
just boot into 2e or 3e recovery and wipe user data and cache, after flashing the stock, good as master clear...
[Captivate Android Development] slaman:
I've tried that before with no luck, so wanted to try the Master Clear option next... is it something doable with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
something doable with this rom? sorry dont follow. its a rom... you want to master clear... "Master Clear" is a button in odin one click downloader....

so

use ODIN-one-click to master clear, then use the other odin to flash this rom. i think that should do what you want. i cant add the master clear function to the other odin program.
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Another option would be to format your internal sd (settings > SD card and phone storage > Format SD card). Doing this will delete all user files (everything you've installed, downloaded, and transferred to your device and stored on the internal drive). All that will remain will be the ROM with its default settings and apps and whatever you have on your external SD, if you have one.
[Captivate Android Development] acwyau:
Not sure what happened, but this bricked my phone. Odin fails at "Re-Partition operation failed" and then nothing. My phone is now bricked and I can't get it back to download mode....going to have to find a jig somewhere. Anybody have any idea why this happened?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
did your phone reboot after odin failed? it should be in download mode. reflash.

no idea why it happened, no one else has reported that issue in this thread.

need more info...
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
Please don't jump on blaming the ROM for the reason your phone is "bricked", you're the first to have a problem. Please tell us step by step exactly what you did and had selected so we can figure out what happened.
