Ok, so i have had a samsung captivate since last summer. I just did the official froyo update the other day and it was successful with kies mini. I then decided to root it using super1click which also worked successfully. I have superuser, titanium backup with busybox installed, and super manager and terminal emulator. I also successfully got clockworkmod flashed and working.
My problem is that ive got the new cognition rom on my internal sd card, but when i try to flash it with cwm, i get the 3e recovery failure message. Ive been reading various sites today on how to fix this problem, but every site seems to tell me something different. I ask this question here, because it seems to be the most knowledgeable site to go to.
How do i get my rooted captivate, with all the above installed and running, to allow me to flash a new rom and possible a new kernal down the road? Im about to go insane trying to decipher through all the info all the different sites have said. Sorry to write such a novel on a tired subject, but im going crazy. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

If you would have done a search here then you would have found that you need to do one of 2 things.
1. Flash back to 2.1
2. Replace the 3e recovery with one that doesnt check for the sig.
I dont know how to replace the 3e recovery. I think ill go with flashing back to 2.1. Once i dl Odin and flash back to 2.1, then i can flash a new rom or a new kernel? Will it undo everything i've done so far? Thanks for the help.

Here is a link to the replacement recovery.
Make sure you have the right odin and that your 3 button works right.
Yesh doing this will wipe out everything. Make sure to back up. Do not back up system data at all as when you restore it, it can lead to major issues. Once done with a custom rom it will be wiped clean. You will have to redo contacts, email, and all other settings
Thanks. Would it be okay to just flash a new kernel like speedmod kernal and just use the stock rom? Is that possible to do while im on rooted 2.2? I like the rom just fine, i just want it faster mainly. Thanks again.

To be honest I am not sure. I only had the stock on for a few hours as it was just not that great compared to the 2.2.1 rom that I have been used to running. I need BT voice dial and the added exchange options so 2.2 was not really for me. If you want a stock feel but faster then I would go with COG or one of the other roms based on the kb1 rom.
So I've come to the conclusion that I should just flash back to 2.1 and go from there. I have odin downloaded, but I'm not certain how to use it. Do you guys think I should flash a custom rom from stock, or just flash a kernel with lag fix and delete the bloatware? Thanks.
first flash 2.1 stock to get rid of the damn 3e. custom roms dont replace that always. also most custom roms dont flash with odin.
get a stock rom. read the instructions, flash

If you are getting .zip signature errors when trying to flash a rom (because you are using 3e recovery) you will not be able to flash a kernel.
Supercurio did make a KB1 kernel that is installable via Odin. If you install that, you will also get CWM recovery. Then you can flash anything you want.
Either way you will need an Odin program. Either Odin One Click to flash back to stock 2.1 or Odin v1.7 to flash the Supercurio KB1 Kernel .tar file.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I think the speedmod kernal is i9000 based which would cause a major headache/bootloop on the stock rom.

The problem is, the OP has no idea what he's doing. It sounds like he's wanting to flash to 2.1, then add a I9000 kernel. Since he's all over the place, it's hard to decipher what he's thinking.
To the OP. I'd HIGHLY suggest you look for the stickied "how to" video's by Connexxion. They will tell you what you need to do and show you EXACTLY how to do it. Invaluable info for the noobs.
Here is the link your looking for, download the installer zip file at the bottom of the first post. Extract to your fancy, use the install.bat file once extracted. Be sure to have the phone connect to the pc (DO NOT MOUNT) and have USB Debugging on.

I am wanting to flash back to 2.1 and go from there. I have the drivers installed and I have odin downloaded. I tried it last night, but I couldn't get it to work. I got it to download mode, but still nothing. What could the problem be? Thanks.
I tried odin one click again today, but still nothing. All i want to do is flash back to 2.1, root, then flash a rom or custom kernel. Im losing my mind, any more help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Bump. Thanks.

ok no need to flash 2.1
get neldars kernel flashing app from the market
get a kernel for froyo without 3e recovery in the dev section. this one is great
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=547852&d=1300708475
use neldars app (edit) "sgs kernel flasher" or something to that effect. to flash this kernel
then flash cognition
you can also use odin3 but not the oneclick downloader without the .pit file and flash the same kernel placed in the pda slot.
when you installed keis mini, it installed new WRONG drivers (for odin)
reinstall the original other drivers.
BUT. in your OP all you wanted was to be able to flash COG or something.
ALL you have to do is fix your 3e recovery, SEVERAL people including myself have told you how to fix it. then CWM will work! you dont need a computer to fix 3e if you have root explorer (google it $) .
if you are going to flash a custom rom anyway dont bother going back to 2.1.
if you are going to stay stock, 2.2 is better anyway. (aside from 3e but staying stock dont matter)
you can also use odin3 but not the oneclick downloader without the .pit file and the same kernel placed in the pda slot.

@ dani - dude read the thread. odin doesn't recognize his phone.!! try to catch up before butting in...
well that doesn't make my whole post irrelivent. if he is rooted and has busy box he can use neldars kernel flasher. sorry if i over looked something.
Ok, well i got the aio toolbox, and i flashed back to stock. Now im running 2.1-update1. How do i go about rooting now? I cant seem to find a root file. Thanks.
Ok I have been at this for a few hours. I have upgraded the original Samsung Infuse 4G HD's firmware to gingerbread version something or other but it is a leaked release. Sooo now I'd like to root the phone and put a ROM on it. I downloaded everything I believe I need. (Again I have been at this for awhile) I have SOC and KiesMini as well as full Kies. I have downloaded Titanium Backup, ROM manager, and Superuser to the phone. I went to do a root on SOC and it will get to step 6 and freeze. I've read a few things and gathered that I need to download the drivers for the phone again and restart root process. Well it's been and hour and a half and I can find the damn drivers anywhere on the web. I have repeatedly unplugged and replugged the phone to the computer and let it download the drivers. Kies and KiesMini both are unable to connect to the phone. Scratch that Mini connects but doesn't recognize the device, my guess is that it does not have the original firmware on it, then again I don't see how this would stop the program from recognizing the phone itself seeing as though this was just a firmware update. I'm semi new to this so I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong.
Please if you have a full guide or step by step instructions or just know where the hell to get the drivers online I'd be very appreciative.
Also if this is the wrong thread section, let me know I'll be happy to move it. I believe I am in the right place though.
Thank you,
If I understand correctly, you already rooted your phone once. Then flashed one of the gingerbread leaks and lost root?
I don't think any of the normal root methods will work. I believe you need to flash a certain kernel to get root back.
Or just use GTGs method to get back to stock. Then normal root methods will work.
if all else fails try superoneclick. thats what i used. and once you get it rooted again flash the MIUI mod to your phone. its a great ROM, i highky recommend it. anyways i agree with the guy above. you may need to find a way to flash a different kernal. let us know how it goes.
Imo, i would flash back to stock with with GTG's unbrick... Either flash community kernel to get red CWM or do SOC to get root, download CWM Rom Manager from market and flash CWM Recovery thru there, make sure to choose "Galaxy s i9000" and NOT the MTD. Do it twice just in case or thrice for sure. You should be able flash any ROM through there or reboot to recovery. This has worked for me multiple times. Good luck.

I would suggest using GTG's back to stock package, then re-root, flash the leak (if you still want it), and flash Entropy's DD for root, then flash back to the stock kernel.
Reply if you need any help with this, I'll try to reply during school, if I don't, someone else will, or I will after school.
If you need root with gb I assume you flashed a stock kernel. The board elders have stated you can't root gb through superoneclick. That hack was patched. You need to flash a rooted kernel and then flash back to stock if you want stock or just leave it with custom kernel. Read through the uckj2 (I think) thread in development. Linuxbozo gave perfect instructions.

It's good that the information is finally getting passed around. Sorry but root it's now done from the kernel end. It's the last backdoor in but Samsung makes it easy on the user end, only problem now is ya gotta wait for developers to compile kernels with initramfs mods.
what you need is.
1. Drivers, Samsung.com infuse product support section. No need for kies.
2. A kernel that roots, entropy has a good one with wifi and sd compatibility.
3. A flash tool such as Odin or heimdall and dependencies. (visual c++ redistributable package from Microsoft download center for heimdall)
4. (optional) a stock uckj2/4/ kernel if you want hdmi to work.
If you use Odin, the custom kernel that will root you needs to be in a ".tar" archive. You put it in the pda slot. After first boot you will have root and have the option to flash back to a kernel with hdmi. once rooted this can be done with sgs kernel flasher if you can't find the .tar version of the stock kernel, you can extract the zimage from the original Odin package and zip it or .rar it and put it on the sd card to be flashed in kernel flasher.
If you use heimdall (my personal preference) you will extract the zimage out of what ever archive it is in. it may be .zip .tar .rar it can even be cwm flashable. You open the tab labeled "flash" load the infuse.pit that gtg made (found with the unbrick package) then click the "add" button select "kernel" for the partition and then browse for the zimage for the root kernel.
Same process to go back to the hdmi kernel for heimdall. Or you can use kernel flasher like I explained above.
No need to go back to stock or wipe data for kernel flashing. That's just overkill and a waist of time.

Awesome instructions but I think it's worth mentioning (and maybe that's why you DIDN'T mention it actually) that you need a pit to flash anything in the front end but unless you WANT to repartition, you should make sure that check box is UNCHECKED after you select the pit.

Yeah don't repartition!. It's potential for disaster, better left for situations whet you have all the partitions to flash and the phone won't boot after trying without repartition. The pit is just for partition mapping in the new front end. I guess it's designed to work with devices that may have different partitioning as well

This is true. 1.1 works great and doesn't need a pit file. It is also easier if you never used it before. It kinda explains itself.

It be very appreciated, i'm doing this for a buddy and i don't want to give him a brick lol.
1. for restoring stock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
2. use superoneclick to root
3. Install clockwork recovery and rom manager
4. Install custom roms.

I've always just flashed newer than my stock to avoid that problem and it always works well for me, after bricking or when i want to flash a new rom i flash to cappy gingerbread and flash boog kernal to get CWM(clockworkmod). CWM is essential is you plan on flashing to other roms. If you plan on flashing to another rom anyways it doesn't matter which version of stock you load as long as it work so I'd just flash 2.2 or newer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
- this has all the odin 1-click flashable packages for captivate
To do everything you want to do...
flash back to stock, use 2.2 or one of the 2.3 versions. If you plan on flashing to a gingerbread rom (2.3) you'll most likely need the gingerbread bootloaders, if you don't originally flash a odin package with the gingerbread bootloaders you might be asked to install them later depending on what rom you use
incase you don't know odin is the computer program used to flash one click packages, you can find it by searching XDA, one click packages won't require it.
odin has to be open before you plug the usb into the phone putting it into download mode.
to flash to other roms you need CWM (ClockWorkMod-a customized recovery mode for the phone) the thread in this post has links to odin flashable kernals with CWM for each software build. To get CWM flash the respective kernal for the version you use. You'll need odin to flash the new kernal, its essentially stock apart from CWM. In odin select PDA and browse to the kernal zip to flash it.
you can search around XDA for oneclickroots, they will typically be odin or CWM flashable it's quite straight forward. New roms will typically already be rooted so you shouldn't have to root again.
good luck!
Does anyone know which exact ODIN i need to flash to get back to 2.2 from download mode.
You can use adamoutler's uckb2 heimdall one click. That's stock 2.2.
But whitch ODIN do i use.
Gez, HTC is so much easier then this samsung!

Unfortunately, there is currently no Odin one-click of stock Froyo (at least that I'm aware of). If you want stock Froyo, you'll need to either piece it together with full Odin, or use the Heimdall One-Click.

Take a look in this post. That should get you the right 3E recovery.
Once you have that, you can either use ROM Manager to install CWM recovery, or see if you can find a kernel with it already baked in and use ODIN to flash the kernel (look for the speedmod kernel).
Or you could flash stock GB, but that updates bootloaders and is a whole different can of worms.

Normally, the answer would be yes. However, as part of the Froyo update, AT&T managed to mess up the recovery menu, meaning that it won't flash unsigned packages. This makes getting CWM basically impossible without doing the steps in that post or flashing a different kernel.
You can root if you want to, but doing the steps in that post first will save you some headache.

I already rooted =/ , should i still try this?
If you have full ODIN, go here, and download the kernel labeled "speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar" at the end of the first post. Open Odin, and in the "PDA" slot, navigate to the .tar file and flash it. That will get you the speedmod kernel, which has CWM, which you need to be able to flash.
Once it's flashed, just hold V+/V-/Power until it reboots, and then you'll be in CWM and can flash MIUI.
I'm assuming you've backed up all your apps with Titanium Backup, right? If you haven't, do that before you do anything else so you don't lose them.

Hello!
I just got a pretty good deal on a stock Froyo Infuse 4G, so I bought it.
A little help please! I would love to have the stock ATT rom with the ability to overclock the processor. This is was I have done so far.. plrease don't be so hard on me since this is my first non-HTC device lol.
So the first thing I did was install a "leaked" Gingerbread ATT stock rom using a program called Odin. Then, I root it using that Superoneclick software... I actually clicked a million times instead trying to get it working because I had GingerBread instead of Froyo ... but somehow managed to do it, it is properly rooted and well tested. So! now with my rooted device, I downloaded Rom Manager from the market, flashed it succesfully (at least that's what the screen said)... and when trying to boot into CWM Recovery I got the following errors:
verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted.
I tried to flash it via RomManager several times, also did it via SD-Card renaming it to Update.zip and flashing it with the stock recovery.. same error. I searched for more information, someone in the forum said the reason could be an incompatible Kernel, so I flashed the Community V8 Kernel... and my device didn't boot past the Samsung screen... but somehow if I tried manaully to get into CWM recovery, it worked! (just the recovery). Flashed a custom rom that I didn't like... then suddenly I lost the CWM Recovery and cannot then bricked it and was unable to flash it again..
I managed to restore the phone to ATT factory condition using a guide here on Xda (this time the phone kept the leaked GB rom)... then rooted it again and haven't done anything else. Mu question is:
How can I keep this stock rom with the ability to overclock the processor? (flashing different kernels just makes it freeze on boot at Samsung logo).
Thanks for your help!::
here a good start by me:

Thanks, it is a useful link but I still don't find the answer to my question (or maybe I just don't undertand it).
I am beyond frustration... could anyone please tell me what to do to step by step to flash an overclockable Kernel keeping my GingerBread stock ATT rom? like if you were explaining it to a retarded person?
many thanks...

1. You need to restore you phone back to stock using gtg's unbrick or heimdall 1 click. (See my post)
2. ATT's GB latest is not rootable thru SOC. You can use odin to flash an insecure kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212485) but you will also need to update superuser binaries and busybox as well. Running the insecure kernel for OC, you will lose the video recorder and video player.
It doesn't sound like you can understand enough yet to do this.
3. If you want a stock att and rooted, go to the dev section:
check out zeus stock 5.2, vagabond or victory. These are GB stock base roms with root already done. There is also dman's deodexed, rooted gb uclb3 already with oc kernel...no video

Thanks for the info!
The first step has been done, restored the phone using Heimdall one click after bricking it, the phone was restored with a UCKJ4 2.36 GingerBread stock ATT rom (Kernel 2.6.35.7-I997uckj4-cl694350) and I am also rooted using SuperOneClick.
I don't fully understand step two, will try it once I get some more knowledge.
Question about the third step... does HDMI work in any of those custom stock roms? I use HDMI a lot.

My Vagabond ROM runs the stock kernel if you follow directions.
HDMI will work. Battery is excellent. Feel free to check it out

you cant have your cake and eat it too.
stock kernel = HDMI. no oc
oc = no HDMI, and currently, no video on some rom
I have a samsung Galaxy S t959v from t-mobile and happened to succesfuly root it and flashed a custom kernel (bhundven-blastoff-v2.5) and then flashed a custom rom.It happened that i mistakenly flashed back the original samsung kernel.now the phone wont load the OS.I am looking for a way to return the blastoff kernel (Keeping in mind that the phone only accesses the samsung custom recovery and download mode).
Please HELP!!!!! to all gurus out there.....
Go to this link and download one of the AntonX kernels.
You can look at the guide in the second link in my signature. Instead of flashing the ROM .jar files I listed - use the AntonX kernel you downloaded. It is the same directions to flash the kernel excluding the flashing bootloaders section.

Thank you for replying my post it really means alot to me.
Back to business,my problem is the phone is stuck on the samsung/ t-mobile splash screen.I Tried flashing the heimdall one click collection to return the stock firmware but I got an error message saying kernel failed to load.I have read that odin could flash kernels but havent see any thread for the galaxy s 4g t-mobile.
Try the one click again. It sometimes it will take a couple tries for whatever reason. Make sure USB is firmly in place. Make sure download is good. And if it still doesn't work use a different USB port.
The ODIN One-Click is called Gremlin Remover. Read up on the driver issues and how to avoid them in the guide I mentioned.
