So what exactly is your problem.

You destroyed recovery and system?

If yes, and you used gfree to get Super-CID just install an PC10IMG that has a version higher or equal to the main version in you misc partition. And then do the whole downgrading, rooting, flashing recovery again.

If you are not Super-CID you might need a goldcard in addition if the CID of the phone is not supported by the PC10IMG that you whant to install.

have fun Guhl

It is almost impossible to brick this phone. The only possible way might be a failed copy of the eng-hboot and this is why the warning is and stays in the wiki.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DragonTEC:
I thought so, too, but when flashing a newer original RUU using the PC10IMG.zip, the flash process runs okay, but after the restart nothing (still hangs in HTC screen, no new hboot) changes so apparently no changes are made..

So from my point of view the phone is more or less bricked.. i guess maybe some custome PC10IMG with an eng-hboot might change this, but i only found one for the G2 and wasn't able to find one for the DZ.. Thats why I thing that removing the 'UNNECESSARY' advice is justified (of course i don't want the warning advice that this can brick the phone to be removed)..

Im thinking about buying a unlocked Touch Pro 2,I currently own a G1 and love it but want something slightly newer (on a tight budget if not would of gone for the G2 or HD7 :()

My questions are

1. Is the TP2 a significant upgrade over a G1 one of the things i love about the g1 is rooting/hacking Custom Roms/Custom Recoverys/No Locked Bootloaders:D etc.

2. Can the tp2 run Android as well as the G1 can or if not better?

3.Is the Touch Pro 2 Root/Hack friendly?
[General Questions and Answers] ijwhelan:
I'd save your money for either the G2 or the HD7. Having just moved from a TP2 to an Atrix, I may be a bit biased because I was ready to get the hell away from that phone :P Running Android on the TP2, in my experience, is nothing close to a device that ships with Android. It eats battery (faster than normal at least) and I'm not sure you'll even see any performance gains over your G1 since it looks like you've been using custom ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] atomiq:
i do not recomend either one, i have had tp2 and struggled using winmo 6, that OS sucks, and when you run any android build on the tp2 will never be the same.. can be rlly unstable and buggy, in other words unreliable...........

if you like to carry a block that weighs as much as rock get the tp2 and be miserable

as far as the g1 is a good option if you are on a low budget and want something for the simple non-heavy smartphone user, it does most of the tricks

but if you want to be updated and have a great experience get the: G2, Dell streak, Samsung Galaxy, Nexus One, or Samsung galaxy tab.
[General Questions and Answers] itsjefflol:
I stuck with G1s for awhile until recently buying an HD2 and trading through high end phones until I ended up with a G2. I must say buying the HD2 was the best move I ever made. You can pick them up fairly cheap and on custom roms windows mobile is pretty useable. Naturally I went to android since you can now completely remove windows mobile and boot straight to android. I found there is a great selection of roms from 2.2 with sense, 2.2, 2.3, I think Honeycomb is already on the HD2, etc. I'd say if it's in your budget get an HD2, it's an awesome and very capable phone.
[General Questions and Answers] jjimenez650:
anyone know how much a used locked g2 goes for?
[General Questions and Answers] MAGPC:
Save money for a cooler handset, or if you are in hurry the G1 is better, I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cagen:
Hi Everyone,

My first time diving into this forum. Sorry if the answer is out there already, but I couldn't find it :o

There are just so many threads in here about flashing..

I've had my Galaxy S for a few months now and rooted it with Z4root as soon as I got it. That was easy enough..

What I'm confused about is flashing new kernels to the phone.

As I understand it, these are the details about my phone which I obtained from the "About Phone" menu.

Samsung Galaxy S (Rooted)

Model number: GT-I9000

Firmware:	2.2

Baseband version: I9000 ADJP3

Kernel version:	2.6.32.9 (root - SE-S608 # 1)

Build number:	FROYO.ADJP6​

What do I have to always consider when choosing a kernel or rom?

Is it the current firmware version and the ADJP3part in my case?

For example:

I've been reading loads of websites about flashing firmware and came accross the samfirmware WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm website that lists all the Samsung Galaxy S related firmware.

I think it's pretty good and understand that I should only be looking at the European list in blue as I'm UK based.

Looking down the list I can see:

I9000XXJP3

512.PIT

Version 2.2

2010 August​

According to the details I gave above. Is this is the version I currently have installed?

So where can I go from here?.. Can I only install the ones that have XXJP or can I install any of the others?..

Just not sure what to look out for :o and want to get my flashing adventure off on a good note :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
My advice would be to read the FAQS on the ROM Kitchin pages then build your own rom .

If you want the best, and easiest way to theme a .9.png, decompile framework-res.apk with apkmanager. Edit the decompiled pngs using gimp, photoshop, ect..

Just leave the border the way it is formatted (thats the .9 portion) untouched until you learn more about them. Recompile the framework and take the newly themed .9.pngs (with their integrity intact and place them into your theme.

This will truly make theming very easy. Many people theme and don't think twice about them and then when they get one the doesn't look good leave it as the original, where truly you can theme each and every one easily.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwrandon:
I'd recently flashed the Cognition new build. Yesterday morning I woke up (3 days later) and found that my phone was stuck at the white and blue AT&T screen.

I preformed the Odin 1-click (as I have many times in the past<I'm not a noob to Odin>) I got my phone into a reboot but now it gets stuck at the Galaxy S screen and then goes dark.

Naturally, I used Odin again with different degrees of failure.

1. Gets stuck at file analysis.

2. Gets stuck halfway through and a blue, green or black screen appears.

3. Stuck at the AT&T screen again.

I've used Odin about 25 - 50 times in the last twenty-four hours.

I've also used the other Odin using the I897UCJH2 PDA file that's provided.

The phone booted directly into recovery and gave this error:

E:Can't Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(I/O error)

E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount SDCARD:

copy default media content failed.

And then it went back to the aforementioned black screen of hell.

I have build 1007 in case that's relevant.

I NEED HELP! Preferably a genius.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
I'm not sure if it matters too much, but it could certainly have had something to do with the kernel the newer Cognition would have installed when you upgraded to it.

Are you using I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV or I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low?

Most people have the first one, I would definitely try the second if it wasn't working.

The last option is to use Odin3 v1.7 (which you seem to have) and using that to update the kernel to a CM7 one and try to install CM7 onto your phone (and then reverting back to 2.1 stock if you wish).

Not sure if any of those options would work, but give me a yell if you need any help with doing any of the above.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
You didn't disable the lagfix before you flashed, and your internal partition is still running ext4 but your data partition is back on efs. See this thread.

You will get your phone working, just be patient and go step by step.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwrandon:
Thank You Both

Thank you both but neither of those two options worked.

I was hopeful that the CM would fix it. I played around with that thought yesterday.

I know the difference between ODIN 1-click and ODIN3 v1.70. I've tried both and neither can get me back up and running. I'm hopeful that someone comes to the table with some resolution. This is frustrating.

EDIT:

Oh and I forgot, I've actually used both I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV and I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
If you can get into recovery you can get into download mode.

If you tried one-click, what happens when you try to flash back to stock?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwrandon:
I'm able to get into Download Mode AND Recovery.

That's not the problem.

What happens is that when my phone reboots after ODIN 1-click or ODIN v1.70 my phone boots like its supposed to boot and then it gets to the Galaxy S screen and at that point it just craps out and the screen goes black after a few minutes. I think that the problem is that the internal sd card won't mount. When I'm in recovery it says:

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(I/O Error)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:

your storage not prepared yet. please us UI me nu for format and reboot actions"

When I try to format the internal SD using system recovery it says the same thing. I'm able to get my computer to recognize the internal sd card in recovery BUT when I try to access the drive it asks me to format the drive (INTERNAL SDCARD being the drive). It then calls me a sack of SH17 and the computer tells me that it's unable to mount the internal SD.

The problem seems to be that my phone has not mounted any memory what-so-ever. If I were able to perform a masterclear that might help but without it being able to get to the home screen that presents a problem.

It's sh177y because I'll have to end up returning it on warranty AND for that I have to mail it back to Samsung and wait for them to return it to me. I can't go that long without my phone. There are business things that I need this phone for.

Sorry that was just a tiny rant.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
You did not read the thread I linked to.

You can't master clear through odin one-click? You should be able to do that without getting to the home screen. Try installing the specific driver package that comes with one click. When the partitions are formatted squirelly, the computer can't recognize the phone as such. Give that a try. You'll get there, be patient.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwrandon:
?

I'm not sure what I missed in that post. I've read and reread that post several times.

To masterclear I believed that you had to be able to get into USB Debugging. I tried to masterclear in both download and recovery mode. Those are the only options where Odin recognizes my phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamonkey:
ive had similar issues as described in this thread before on ONE pc i have and it can be a real PITA!:mad:

Im no real expert but i DO know the pc i use has voltage issues, basically it is running everything fine but things cant seem to charge or external devices tend to act weird occasionally off the usb. What i have done to minimize the similar issues you are describing is

1) plug the usb directly into the back of the pc, basically try different usb ports, some seem to get better voltage/stability.

2) unplug any external devices using usb *printers and whatnot*

3)Alternate PC *sorry this is my end all since i found i have no issues on my laptop*

It doesnt 'sound' like your phone is fubar'd but that your pc isnt getting the strongest connection. again this is comming from someone who had pretty much exactly what your describing and thats what i found:D

edit: also saw your warranty posting. From me on their 4th captivate and seems to be the final stable one *HORARY!* i can tell you that they will send you a new phone first and you send your defective one back..just do it in the timeframe or they WILL charge your att account

The only thing that I can think of is... Put a kernel that has CWM loaded on to it as recovery (maybe speedmod kernel), boot into recovert (and thus into CWM).

Try deleting all data/cache/etc on it, then try reboot it. Other wise, try and install a ROM straight from CWM (via .zip file, if you can somehow get it on your sdcard).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgy76:
can your pc still recognizes your phone and copy files towards internal sd card? can you enter 3e recovery? does you lost 3 button combo? file extensions uses lagfix should be one of the culprit and the clock values in the kernel in your previous rom not setting it to default (disabling lagfix and setting voltage and clock speed to default) when flashing back to stock as this would probably causes conflict with the stock 2.1 system. it is realy important not to neglect those default settings as this is the usual reasons for bricked phones that would corrupt the installation process. many people forgot this process due to excitement and ended up with a paper weight phone.

"Try installing the specific driver package that comes with one click."

I'm not sure if you read my OP; I've already done that. I've actually done that several times. I understand how to use ODIN 1.00 and 1.70. I've been using them since they were released.

The lagfix/overclock issue that has been mentioned. I understand that. Fixing it is the problem.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwrandon:
No, the phone is recognized by my computer while in recovery (using the cm kernal) but because the phone won't mount the sdcard neither will the computer. It gives an error that the drive needs to be reformated BUT the computer is unable to and I'm unable to do so in CW recovery.

Yes, I'd already tried that with the Speedmod and CM kernals.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
BNoth things happened to me, but not at the same time. Booting to S screen was resolved by rebooting into recovery AND clearing all user data. varying colors of Odin was resolved by changing to a different computer with more ram and Win7(64 bit). If it works, let me know.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
All I can say is that I had the exact same problem. I deleted all the Samsung drivers I could find under 'uninstall programs', uninstalled kies, went into regedit and deleted anything Samsung and/or kies, rebooted, installed the 1click driver package(it took about 15-20 min), then booted up 1click and voila, I was able to flash the stock 2.1 file.

Maybe try a different port?

I'm sorry you aren't getting the results you were hoping for, but I feel like you are close. Just don't give up, if you can get to the recovery screen, all is not lost.

Consequently, in my CWM recovery menu(2.5.1.0), if have the option to reboot to DL mode. Have you tried that? Under Advanced SpeedMod ULK features, the second option in the menu is to boot into Download. Maybe you can try this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwrandon:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
That's exactly what I was thinking. If you can get a SpeedMod kernel on there, you can get into the recovery menu and boot to DL, which would then enable you to hook up to 1click. I wouldn't worry about disbling lagfix at that point because if you can get 1click to master clear the whole problem will go away.

[Atrix 4G General] TareX:
I'm interested in your impressions as ex-Nexus S users when you made the switch to the Atrix. I'm struggling between both phones myself.

The way I see it, Nexus S with the new kernels and ROMs is faster and smoother than the Atrix in real-life use. Also, the SAMOLED display seems better than the qHD display. Finally, with the Nexus S I'll be the first to get Ice Cream when it hits in two months, while the Atrix will get it when Motorola decides to finish it, in maybe 10 months... so I'll be missing out on Gtalk video chat and GPU acceleration, not to mention the many games that need to be updated to run on the Atrix (e.g reckless driving, gameloft 3D suite...etc)

However, with the Atrix, I can play the new Tegra Zone games, have a fingerprint unlock option, and 720p (upgradeable to 1080p) video shooting (the Nexus S only shoots 480p).

So, what's your impression?
