\\\\\\\\\\\\warning///////////

It seems that phones batch 1010 and newer dont like this method of going back to stock. If you're caught in a boot loop try flashing the official froyo for Captivate. One source can be found here

\\\\\\\\\\\\warning///////////

Disclaimer: Anything you do with the content found in this thread and the content that this thread links to, is your own choice and you are fully responsible for what happens to your phone.

This method is for ATT Captivate ONLY!

We all know that there is a very often used method of going back to stock found here. The problem is that the ODIN OneClickDownloader contains both boot loaders and param.lfs.

These files, if not flashed correctly or if the connection between phone and PC drops while flashing them, can brick your phone for good. The reason why would this happen is because of unreliable USB drivers.

The purpose of this thread is to give flash addicts/custom ROMs users a more secure way to go back to stock - JF6 - without risking bricking their devices.

Do not use this if you want to send your phone back to ATT or Samsung for warranty!

Use this if you want to go back to stock before flashing a custom ROM.

Use this without worries if you changed your boot screen image or if you flashed the secondary boot loader which allows you to enter download/recovery with key combos.

This package contains NO BOOTLOADERS and NO PARAM.LFS!

Download the package from here

Download Samsung Kies and install it. It will install the latest Samsung drivers.

How to:

Remove sdcard and SIM card from the phone

Extract JF6_secure.zip somewhere.

Boot in Download Mode (see below)

Run Odin3 v1.3.exe

Click on the button PDA

Choose JF6_secure.tar.md5

Click start.

Wait and do not unplug cable until it is finished

How to boot in download mode:

There are 3 methods:

Method 1: (ADB) - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on)

Open a cmd prompt/console/shell

adb shell

adb reboot download

Method 2: (KEY COMBO)

Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

Insert the battery

Hold both Volume buttons

Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons

Method 3: (JIG)

If moderators believe this does not belong in development, I have nothing against to moving it to General. However, I think the community would appreciate if it would remain here.

Works fine

I used this to flash the latest Continuum 3.5 and everything worked fine. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
you may want to include the info "FOR ATT i897" phones.

as, well... check my sig!~ i got the rogers i896 covered NO BOOTLOADERS! @@ YAY
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yep, updated, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Thanks for this and I appreciate all your work.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Success !!

Just used this to go back to stock prior to flashing another ROM. Worked with no problems and only took about 5 minutes. Will use this from now on to avoid the possible brick.

Again, really appreciate you providing this for us.
[Captivate Android Development] sircaper:
Still not sure why one would use this over the DG Odin? Maybe someone can clarify?

Here is my scenario. I'm currently on Cognition 3.04 which I flashed from stock. It was my first ROM so I didn't have to go back or do anything with Odin. Now, if I want to flash a new ROM, I plan on using Odin, jut not sure which one???
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Here you go again, is in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
on top of the read phail, i would add that you dont need to flash stock between roms, you only need to do it after a failed flash or a "no wipe" rom that depends on original files, **which they dont do anymore**. All the good full roms do a wipe before flashing. so there is no point going to stock! hope that clearifies!
[Captivate Android Development] sircaper:
:) I did read it, just thought there was something I was missing.

I thought there was more to it than people having bad usb ports. You're saying if one does have a bad usb port and flashing gets interrupted, their phone would be bricked with the DG Odin, but with this Odin it would somehow be ok?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
If you own a computer you definitelly heard about BIOS and you heard that if the BIOS gets screwed (CMOS chip burned or bad BIOS update) you can pretty much throw the motherboard.

Well, imagine that your phone has 3 BIOSs

primary bootloader - boot.bin

secondary bootloader - sbl.bin

hidden partition for system images - param.lfs

and that they are dependent on each other and if one of them gets screwed you wont be able to get to recovery and download mode.

The one click downloader contains all these 3. My package does not.

Get the point?
[Captivate Android Development] sircaper:
Makes sense. Is there ever an instance where those files need to be wiped, though?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Not really. Only if you flashed a boot loader from a different SGS model.
[Captivate Android Development] sircaper:
Thanks. Appreciate you clearing things up for me.
[Captivate Android Development] likiud:
Does that mean your stock rom doesn't include the boot loaders and param.lfs either? I've been dying to try that one when I switch roms. I hate seeing the ATT logo pop up everytime i turn it on.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Oh yea, I forgot to use this a while ago. Next time I'll use this, I promise. Lol. Btw, is it okay to change the text on the .ini file? I somewhat changed the title to my liking. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yes, is OK
[Captivate Android Development] double RL:
Has anyone flashed the three button fix? I really want to. just wanna verify its ok.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:

[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
You dont have the 3 button fix?

EDIT: yes, is OK, I tested it. Make sure you run a md5 checksum after putting it on your sdcard
[Captivate Android Development] double RL:
No I do not and thanks. This is great to have.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Thank to DesignGears for this one
[Captivate Android Development] kngthdn:
I apologize if this is a silly question, but can I use this safely if I've used Odin One-Click in the past?

I've used Odin to go back to stock before, but since it's an exe, I'm not really sure how to check for the presence of a bootloader in the file.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
+1 I always use the odin with 3 button combo by c3pol i think forgot the name of the op who post it before ive been using that ever since. My question is if we use that we cant use this new flasher anymore?
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
None of the "Enter download mode" steps are working for me. Apparently my volume buttons are not being recognized until the phone is on. Also, when I go into an adb shell it says that the 'adb reboot download' command does not exist. If I try just 'reboot download' then it says that there are not permissions for it.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:

In the advanced settings when your phone is on, usb connected, in debugging, u can put it into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
odin virgin...

is this the best choice if i've never used odin at all?
[Captivate Android Development] kcfan491:
This is my question as well. Didn't quite understand the line about not using if you know you have used low odin before.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I agree. I flashed a LOW Odin. It was DesignGears JI6 leak.
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
this is very nice, and definitely a great alternative to odin 1-click.

But i have had zero problems by simply doing a factory reset, clear cache, and clear dalvik......then flash the new rom. Been using this method for months though, as recommended by one of the other dev's, and haven't run into any problems. It has saved TONS of time, and if you ever do run into problems, you always have this or 1-click as a back up.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Guys, the deal is simple. If your phone does not let you flash any rom anymore (sometimes it happens that partitions get messed up or who knows what) and you want to go back to stock, you use this as a secure way. If you flashed an odin rom which contained bootloaders (usually 1 click packages) other than JF6 then you might wanna use the one click method provided by DG.

The reason why I made this pack is to decrease the risk of bricking your phone while flashing back to stock and not needing to update bootloaders.

I cannot create an exact list of scenarios, to be easier, USE THIS ALWAYS FIRST and if it doesnt do the job, use One click odin.
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
So, don't use this if you've done a one-click custom rom?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
there are no "one click" custom roms, there is ONE program ( odin one click to stock ) that flashes the att stock rom. there is also ODIN3 1.7 which is what your quoted material was talking about above. it was also not talking about custom roms.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
Thank you, icesar1. I will use this instead of one click for sure. I've been a bit afraid of one click...... luckily never needed it.

The confusion for most, I'm sure is that almost all ROMs suggest to"return to stock/master clear. Which seems to have become redundant....and potentially troublesome...

Unless things don't go as planned......

In which case we need to start from scratch...but..........

With different builds having different risks. It's great to have am alternative, but, not easy for the noob to understand why it's so good.

[Captivate Android Development] abezapata:
this used to be the way to flash any roms when this phone came out. its a good sign to see how much the community has grown! This used to be around too but i am pretty sure it got absorbed into the depths of the forums. Thanks icezar i was looking for this btw!!
[Captivate Android Development] The Gibbs:
Just letting you all know that this method does not work with the new 1012 phones. It will just get your phone in an infinite restart loop. It was simple for me to get back into download mode, but now I have to find 2.2 again.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
That can only mean that 1012 have different hardware or partition layout. Does one click odin work for you? (if you tried it)
[Captivate Android Development] nzahorchak:
The Rogers 2.1 Stock ROM that I put together (and Trusselo posted) includes the param.lfs to remove the AT&T boot screens i896 users got stuck with after using DG's Odin3 One-Click. I did not include the boot.bin or sbl.bin files either to make for a safer flash.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
One click works perfect on my model 1012. Also, no offense but ODIN isn't all that bad of a program and Heimdall works as a great alternative. I appreciate the effort but will be sticking with ODIN and Heimdall for my flashing back to stock. Thanks for your effort to the community though as I'm sure many people will you this.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
I've got a 1012 build and I just used this tonight for the first time, had no problems at all. It's fast and works flawlessly.

Thanks Cezar.
[Captivate Android Development] max_82:
How do we know that I've flashed a -LOW- ODIN package which have boot.bin or sbl.bin inside? If we use *.exe file we don't know the contain of files.

In other word, we should use odin3 one click or AIO to bring our phone back to stock 2.1? Which is safer for us?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Exe files usually contain bootloaders. Sometimes the people who pack them mention in their thread if the packs contain bootloaders or not
[Captivate Android Development] othermark:
A great summary of stuff dribbled around the forums. A couple of points:

Shouldn't the OP warn against CWM flashing the 3 button fix sbl against phones who have the GB SGS i9k bootloaders already installed?

Probably should mention that you can use 7zip to open .tar files on win32/64 systems.

3) will phone function properly with GB bootloaders and Eclair or Froyo OS?

I am looking for safest way to get back to 2.2 and my phone originally does not have 3-button combo 1008 build
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
From what have seen this should not be used if you have custom (gingerbread) bootloaders. It should be used if you have never changed your bootloaders so you don't have to unnecisarly and dangerously reflash the same bootloaders when flashing back to stock.

I have a question for my future. How would one use this and repartision.

CM7 -> stock needs to do a repartision, so they advise odin1click.

I don't actually need an answer now but i have shown some people cm7 and they want to get back with minimal risk.
[Captivate Android Development] SeriousBizznass:
I used Odin to flash from OEM to CM7 then back to stock for another fresh flash.
[Captivate Android Development] daveyian:
If you have Gingerbread bootloaders is it a guaranteed brick if you flash the DG 3 button fix?

If so, would you please add that clearly to the OP since it could be misunderstood easily. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] Febby:
from what i gathered thanks to other users is... if your build model is at least 1010 or higher and you are on a gingerbread rom/bootloaders you still need to flash odin one click downloader... it will put your phone in a bootloop! have a jig ready to put your device in download mode then you flash the odin package on this thread.

[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Bull. I'm 1012 and have gb boot loaders and use this all the time. It is a fantastic package with 0 risk involved. Your risk is in using odin one click.
[Captivate Android Development] Febby:
i guess some of us are just unlucky, flashing this won't get rid of the gingerbread loaders though for if you want to use other roms like cm7, which is why i guess i was told to flash odin one click? lol

[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
You could try the one click un brick, (google it) but that doesen't mean you won't get an infinite boot loop from there you should at least be able to get into recovery. From there you should able to flash another rom.

My main goal in everything I do here is to raise Autism Awareness

Hello everyone,

I am no longer supporting the old thread as most, if not all of them were based on DI18 and or DK28. In an attempt to further contribute and avoid compatibility issues I'm starting this thread for EB13/CW3 compatible zips. I also took down the old repository so you guys don't flash something that will screw up your phone..

If you want something converted/Created you need to remember a few things.

1) IT MUST BE EB13 compatible (especially if system apks are involved ie dialers and other themed system apks)

2) You must attach the apk or zip file you want created or converted.

3) I will not touch paid apps....SO DO NOT POST THEM.

4) My life is complicated so please be patient.... I'll do my best to keep up with this thread.

ALL zips will be posted in my EC 05 .zips repository on my lostandtired.com blog. Click on the "Android Development" page and look in the right hand column..

hello, first of all, thank you so much for all your hard work on helping us all out with your skills and spreading awareness for autism. i'm a total newbie, but i can follow instructions very well so i rooted my month-old epic cuz i hated all the bloatware and tried out your midnight rom 5.0. i love it!

recently updated to 5.1, and its great too. i apologize if any of these are just plain stupid requests, but if you are taking requests for custom zips:

1. i like the 5.0 boot and shutdown animations a bit better than the 5.1 animations as nifty as they may be. is it possible to modify the animations?

2. is there a way to remove stock email and sprint hotspot?

3. although i updated to 5.1, i notice that when i install the bonsai eco5 aosp lockscreen, it removes the reboot option from the power menu.

other than that, i have everything i ever wanted and needed from my epic. i understand how busy you must be but THANK YOU! i'm a big fan. :)
