This guide is for if you are on Android 2.1 and want to get 2.2. If you are fine with 2.1 use this guide. If you already have Cognition you can use this just skip the install cognition step. If you are on a different version of 2.2 you need to do an ODIN reset (second to last page of guide)
UPDATED 10/11
This is a guide that is similar to the other guide however it is for DesignGears Cognition ROM.
Drivers
Rooting
Clockwork Recovery
Unlock
Installing ROM
LCD Density Hack
Launcher Pro
Battery Optimizations
Desktop Syncing
TV Out
ODIN One-Click Restore
This guide was created to be as user friendly as possible, so the easiest method was was shown for all of the above, even if it is not the best.
PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE BEFORE POSTING ANY QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT IS MOST LIKELY ALREADY BEEN COVERED

No problem! If your still thinking about upgrading I would say its worth it. DesignGear(s?) makes great ROMS. However it does erase your userdata (although for something the files still remain on the SD card (like music). In addition in you want the official Froyo release you will have to use ODIN to flash back.
So, I just want to clear things up for myself.
Right now, I am running Eugene's ROM.
I will flash back to stock JF6
I can download the Cog 2.2 BETA6.zip file. Put it on my SD card and flash it using Clockwork.
If I want to flash back to JF6, I can use Odin to that.
Does all that seem right or is there more to it?
I did read the guide and it is excellent. I am just hesistant here, so just wanted some confirmation.
Thank you for your awesome work.

You use ODIN to get back to stock 2.1. Then follow the guide to the beginning. A summary of the steps to get cognition is:
Flash to 2.1 Eclar
Root the 2.1
Flash the zip file with clockwork
And skip JH7 altogether? Cognition contains the JH7 "fixes"?

That is what my understanding. I did this with an un modded captivate. I am pretty sure that was JH6. If you have a PC you can always just use his ODIN flash to install it and that is that. But I have a Mac so I made my guide Mac friendly.
pretty decent guide
Great Guide, Works Awesome!
Samsung Captivate
AT&T
Install went smooth as can be. I had to install the drivers, as told by the guide, but I think you may have missed a step?
Under "Installing Froyo --> Prepare" you may want to add a note that the phone has to be in Mass Storage mode to transfer the ZIP. Not sure if this is always true, but I did have to do that on my own (it was not showing the phone when it was sitting in debugging mode.)
I will be sending you a $5 donation. Really wish I could send more, but simply cannot. I am hoping others are doing the same, as this guide is awesome...
I did have one question about the 2.2 update. I heard somewhere that this would fix the GPS issue, however, I am experiencing the same issues with connectivity. Does anybody know if Samsung/AT&T plan on fixing this?
Again, thanks!
------EDIT------ Donation sent.

I think asking for a donation for copy & pasting postings into a PDF is cheap.
But I suppose you can't blame a guy for trying to skim some money off what should be going to the actual cooks.

If you look @ the date on the OP (Opening Post) then you'll see where your issue is.
This is an older thread. So the file no longer available.
Although I do commend you for ACTUALLY LOOKING for a tutorial thread and not opening a new topic.
The steps will all still work though. You can get the most recent version of Cognition (3.04 i think) in the link in my Sig
Happy Flashing!
thanks marzo, i found it. i just finished flashing and now im waiting for it to boot up with FROYO!
Not a problem... And it really is a Rearity that a person actually searches for answers around here.
Better to *BUMP* an old thread then open YET another.
Be careful though.. This is a very addictive habbit that your forming!
Can you update the guide for theh persons with the update to froyo 2.2 from AT&T.
Thanks.
Thank You!!
Thank you very much for this it was just what I was searching for!
thanx
thanks for this

Once again, the search is your friend. You have to get clockworkmod recovery working first. You don't have it working. You may have installed it on your phone from the market, but you haven't followed the thread to actually get it working. Had you have clicked on any of the links in the replies in the other threads you posted earlier, you would have found the answers that you were looking for. Unfortunately, it seems that following directions isn't your strong suit.
If this doesn't help you, I'm sorry, but I don't know what will.

You probably gonna need a App something like TerminalEmulator for the phone.. Basically a Command Line Interface for Linux. Then follow this thread to a T..
STEP 2 Specifically for ClockworkMod
This thread is the 2nd most important thread in this SubSection of XDA for Mes Modders.
That one will help fix anything that went wrong in the 1st.
P.S. if you run into any problems using these methods read the rest if the thread.
Chances are the question you will ask has already been asked and you will find the answer long before someone can post back.
This guy deserves no help at all!!!!
Phidel already very nicely pointed this person to the places where this information ALREADY EXISTS (in their first thread) and instead of following it, they blatantly ignored it and started a new topic....
I have a mytouch slide and im stuck on....

Hi all!
So I downloaded Android 6 from Googles site and manually updated and of course the phone was wiped! And today I remembered I had a lot of photos from our vacation and of the kids (when my youngest was born etc) and whatnot that got lost as well Is there any way to recover these? I've tried looking for guides on here, but the ones i found that were kind of relevant are old ones and links to files that was needed is dead.
If it is possible, could anyone please point me to a good guide and tools needed? I'm really hoping this works. I screwed up
Thanks in advance!

try this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705
i never recovered data so i can't help you any further with that process so if you have any Qs ask them in that thread so proper people can help you
btw it's not easy process it's very advance process and require step by step implementation so follow that guide properly ( it requires rooted phone and basic knowledge of rooting..and as Marshmallow is new rooting process is not that easy..you can find how to root Marshmallow in general section)
& in future always take full backup before you change anything manually
Thank you very much! Appreciate it!
I was gonna root it, but thought it was like before so I did the chainfire auto-root without reading. Thought I had bricked it. First it got stuck on the boot screen for a couple of hours, then after I got it off, it wouldn't turn back on. But after a while i finally got it in recovery mode and flashed again. Let me take a look at this new method.
I'm pretty good at following directions, so hopefully I'll be good this time around
Thanks for a point in the right direction. I'll ask over there if I get any issues.
So i followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqhdq_A47DY&feature=youtu.be
I did exactly everything he does in the video, but i always ended up with the same error upon booting.
It would say something like "verification failed. unable to restart your device. the integrity verification has failed.you need to reset your device to factory default settings."
I tried the method multiple times but the same error shows up.
Any idea what could it be? Thank you!:good:
Shouldn't have done it. The phone is less than a month old and you are expecting everyone to have everything for it. Congratulations on having a brick.
Hello andresg97,
have you tried to follow the instructions as shown in the TWRP Thread?
At least you should be able to boot into recovery, from there you can install TWRP and the the only thing you need to get a working phone back is a ROM, the Renovate ROM works fine for me.

I have to say I am somewhat surprised at your post. It does not reflect the general attitude that is usually so prevalent in this forum. I wonder why you even posted. All you did was condemn the guy for having tried something without offering anything supportive beyond your comment - "congratulations for having a brick." It would have been better if you just kept your thoughts to yourself if you don't plan on offering anything constructive.
Bricking a samsung device is actually pretty hard to do - and most issues can be overcome. Obviously some bricks are real bricks - but usually via Odin, there is a way to at least return the phone to full stock before either giving up or trying again.
Sorry, I don't mean to harp on you - but I just get frustrated when I see such negativity without any offer of help or support. Hope you never end up in a similar situation - and if you do, I hope whoever reads your post treats you better than you treated the OP.

hello!
I had the same verification problem you had, and followed these steps to solve it.
I have wiped my s8, and flashed as well as initialized TWRP on my phone. Now in TWRP recovery I'm trying to transfer the Renovate flashable zip, but every time I try to transfer the file the transfer fails. Doing it by drag n drop in windows the transfer freezes midway, and then the connection to the pc is cut, and I have to reboot the phone to reestablish it. After that I have a corrupt zip in like 70 % of the actual size.
Doing it by push command in ADB gives me an error saying my device is out of space after transferring around 60-70%, even though there's ~52 gb free space.
Do any of you have any idea why this happens? I'm able to transfer other, smaller files to the phones internal storage. Is there some setting limiting what I can transfer?

It doesnt work for me either... My first initial attempted install of twrp gave me a pass but the phone would not boot into twrp. It is stuck at the galaxy S8+ logo... I can boot into download mode and thats all... holding the power bixby and volume up buttons does nothing. I have tried to flash twrp several times now and keep getting a fail in odin. I have also tried flashing a stock rom several times as well but odin fails at that too... followed xda giudes for both procedures and no luck. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated... Thank You
Hi all,
I found this thread because I did the exact same thing.
I flashed TWRP via ODIN, and came up with that screen about data not being verified, only option was to click "Erase".
Thankfully, I powered down the phone, booted to Recovery (Samsung), and displayed:
"Appling Multi-CSC-, applied CSC-Code : TEL (Telstra Aus) blah blahblah..
Successfully verify for dmverity hash tree."
Rebooted, and all was ok again..
Nearly passed out from shock though.
I did a Helium backup of my app data, but not the other files on my phone, which I am doing right now!
Still not sure what I did wrong with flashing TWRP though. It flashed fine...

Hi all,
Please help me to root my s8+ through TWRP. Every time when I patch this via odin my phone says 'unable to restart your phone. the integrity verification has failed. you need to reset your device to factory default settings. this will erase all your data.'. I have thoroughly read this thread but nothing resolve my issue. I have the exynos model purchased from UK.
