Looking for the stock AT&T update.zip file. I did search, but now luck. Thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
I just need the update.zip file. Thanks anyway.
No problem. That was the closest thing I could find. Best of luck with whatever you are doing.
Are you talking about the update.zip file to root your device? I have that.
No, the stock update.zip file. I am running stock and tried to run the restore and it said the file is missing. I was going to put it back on and try and run it again. I've been having trouble powering on. I can only power on if I have it plugged up.
AT&T is sending me a new phone, but I just wanted to try and restore it for giggles and also to make sure my data is gone.
??
there isnt a stock update.zip........
The phone says that update.zip cannot be found on the sd card when I try to restore. I'm running stock on it. It may be that its just fried. Once it boots up it seems to run ok. I just got the new one from AT&T and going to send the old one in in the morn. Just wanted to try one last fix because everything worked great the past few days, even the gps was working better. I guess I will see how the new one does.

i dont think anyone here has any idea what you are talking about.
the stock phone doesnt have an update.zip on it. reinstall packages in system recovery doesnt mean it reinstalls stuff you removed from the OS. it allows you to flash zip files created for things like clockwork mod recovery and rooting on the 2.1....

There is no update.zip for stock firmware. Reinstall package in recovery mode is for flashing ROM updates and other stuff. If you delete something from stock ROM or messed up, there is no way to get it back or restore other than flash the stock ROM via ODIN3 and load stock firmware file.

I think you're confused with the JH7 update.zip that DG releases. It is not a recovery package zip OP like to have. You have to install CWM in order to flash this zip file.
What the OP doesn't exist. For the Captivate there are two options unless a developer creates another one:
1)Odin One click to I897UCJF6
2)ZIP of th I897UCJH7 firmware
/thread
I would advise you use the ODIN 1 Click to resolve any issue your having. I made a video on how to do this in my video archive thread...

I perma rooted my shift here, and installed ROM Manager. I wanted to backup my current stock rom+root just incase I f#*k something up, under flash recovery image i selected htc evo (cdma) (evo shift is not listed) it says successful but when i click backup current rom, it turns off and is stuck on htc screen...any suggestion??
by the way, i have busybox v1.17.1, updated via busybox app from market.
I don't think RM is supported on the shift yet...
OMG, Just read what you wrote. Um, you installed an evo recovery on your shift? That's not good.
ROM manager, and more importantly ClockworkMod are not yet supported on our device...
There are some versions that "work" -- I say that because they have issues, but have some functionality.
You need to flash your recovery manually with the one from the perma-root thread, using those steps.

If you can boot to recovery I'd recommend running the stock ruu from your computer...that should fix the problem but know it will wipe all data and return you to out of the box stock...you can find it in the development section in the perm root/recovery/stock ruu thread (or something like that not sure exactly what the thread is called)
Edit: ha sorry thats what its called on the android central forum...you can find it still in the development section as speedy ruu

Lol yeaa I have the ruu saved on my pc, question: after I install stock rom can I restore my sys data/apps (minus clockwork) without having problems? (Using titanium backup)
Also I dunno if anyone else is having problems with mobile data but once in a while I have to reboot to get 3g back.

i think you would probably have to root again since not sure you would be able to even access sys data/app without root but not 100% about that and i dont imagine it causing any trouble as long as you get rid of clockwork but again im really not sure at all so i dont wanna say with any certainty.....also i havent had any problems with mobile data so far

My replacement phone came with Froyo already on it. Rooted using 1-click, but when I try to install CWM I get the not signed error. What's the easiest way to get CWM working so I can flash Cog 4 or Andromeda (probably Andromeda)? I looked at the 3e thread, but as I have no apps installed yet I have no Root Explorer or TiBU to be able to follow those directions. Should I 1-click Odin back to JF6? Is that even working on 2.2?

On the vibrant forums you can find a cwm for 3e recovery.

You got it. One-click, wipe, root, install CWM, flash to Cog/Andromeda/Serendipity.
That's impressive that they shipped you one with 2.2 already. I guess when it rains it pours!
2.2
for x-mas i got a refurbished captivate and i checked the firmware and im pretty sure it was at 2.2. but i have a rom on now and its still at 2.2 but tht could be the rom. so idk
OK, ran Odin 1-click and it failed twice. Now what?

Is Odin recognizing the phone when it's connected? Also, do you have USB debugging turned on and is the internal SD unmounted? I flashed mine to the Samsung/AT&T 2.2 and was able to use Odin to get back to stock, so I know it ought to work.

Yes, yes and yes. I'm trying to root the phone and 1-click root doesn't work either. Guess I have to try Z4root and see if that works. Thank you, AT$T!
OK, here's where I'm at. Got 3e done. Got rooted. Got CWM installed. When I go into CWM recovery I get a green menu instead of the familiar red. When I select zip from sd card and then click on yes to install the ROM, I get an error saying "can't mount SDCARD, installation aborted." What now? Should I try Odin again?

No dumb questions at this point. I have the zip on the internal SD card. I don't have the external installed at this point. Just tried Odin3 again, just sitting at "analyzing files..." Can't believe how freaking complicated this has gotten compared to my other Cappy. Why did they send this with 2.2 on it? Uggggghhhh!

I downloaded it, I think. Is it Captivate_SGS_Tools_45.apk?
I used SuperOneClickRoot to root my phone and then used 3eRecoveryInstaller that I found on here that someone put together using Vibrant fix to remove the signature check and the wipe when installing and update.zip. Haven't flashed clockwork yet to see if it works because I dont' have time to reflash if it fails because I have to work tonight.

It's not an app... You can't install ROMs using that app unless you have CWM installed (and working).

As the title suggests I am stock gingerbread (the one pushed then oulled back). I would like to remain this way until cm7 has become official for the thunderbolt or at least until it has a few of the bugs ironed out in the rom so we don't have to flash fixes.
Anyway I am familiar with the method of renaming otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak and I have done that.
I wonder if others have had success blocking ota's with that method?
Is anyone familiar with a better method?

well, renaming files at least works for boot animations & such, so i don't see why it wouldn't work for that ota file. normally, if it's something i don't want/need, i'll either freeze it or remove it entirely. try 'Anttek App Manager'(it's free).
additionally, i wouldn't wait around on an "official" CM7 for the Thunderbolt as that may never happen. i find at least that the latest 'SHIFTAO5P" roms that dhacker is now working on are the most stable ones and seem to have everything working ok.

Now that an ota IS being pushed I guess i'll find out the hard way unless someone can help me out?
I got a OTA request right before I updated from Stock Rooted Gingerbread to the current stock rooted.
Now I'm on the current version same as OTA but rooted, renamed otacert.zip.bak but still had in the software update "deferred update pending".
Not sure how to stop this. Any help appreciated.
Can't u accept the OTA n just reinstall Superuser as long as ur S-Off? Been awhile so I can't remember.

I accepted the OTA this evening & now I'm stuck. It shut down to then reboot & I ended up stuck at the triangle ! screen for over an hour.
Removing the battery & turning it on allows me to get it back, but as soon as the system is loaded it powers down again to complete the update...
Rooted via Revolutionary method & I'm stuck until someone with more xp comes along & can point me in the correct direction.
My bad.

Rev method copies its own version of hboot and does not allow an OTA to copy over its own version. I could be completely wrong since i didnt use Revo to root my phone but you may want to try powering to hboot menu if you can power on you can get there, and try flashing the rooted version after full system wipe.

Could you just restore a nandroid?
I noticed when I updated manually (with help from mike and grlantern) that the file I had renamed otacerts.zip.bak is now back to otacerts.zip. I don't know if the update process created a new version or what but the date next to the zip folder is August, not October.
Is it possible for you to get to hboot by holding volume down as you push power key, then choose recovery, then restore to a nandroid (assuming you ever backed up your rooted rom).
I'm not sure if recovery will still be available though if the update made you s-on.
I'm no expert so perhaps you may want to wait for grlantern to chime in.

1. Have you ever looked at other files in there or files in windows. They don't update files that don't need updates so some files could be from launch of Thunderbolt if the file did not need an update.
2. Revo protects you from an RUU gaining S-On with its version of Hboot. I think the process of returning to stock by flashing an RUU is just for the ADB method which is what I used. I think Revo has to use a different method to regain stock.

I'm in the same pickle as tantalin. Let me ask some dumb questions:
- I can get to the CWM recovery screen. Are you saying I could do a factory re-set, then restore the ROM pre-update? Would I have to have backed up before the OTA (which I didn't, as I only rooted yesterday...argh).
Thanks for your help.
Keep in mind Im a beginner too so you may want to wait for someone with more experience.
CHECK WITH AN EXPERIENCED USER BEFORE FOLLOWING MY DIRECTIONSDIRECTIONS
Yes, you would have had to have a rom to restore to. You could try wiping data, cache, and dalvik cache but I don't know whether phone would boot.
Another alternative would be to shut off phone, take out flash card, copy a custom rom like bamf forever 1.0.8 or the rooted version of the update on the sdcard. Put sdcard back in phone, turn on phone whole holding volume key down. Go to recovery. Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (under advanced choices)Choose instal from sdcard. Browse to custom rom you put on sdcard. Choose it and install.
Keep in mind Im a beginner too so you may want to wait for someone with more experience.
TOTALLY INADVERTENT SUCCESS!!
I booted into clockworkmod recovery, deleted the cache partition, then under "advanced", I deleted the dalvik cache. I have literally no idea what either of these two things are, but since a factory reset was my worst case scenario, jimmy cracked corn and I didn't care.
Rebooted recovery (accidentally), then rebooted the phone. An error message saying the update failed! Happy day!
Now I can back the phone up properly, and go forward. So worried I'd lose all my apps and information not backed up to my Exchange server! Phew!!!!
If you have a rooted stock phone, and then you accept an OTA or load an RUU, you WILL lose root and the custom recovery program. But you SHOULD still be S-Off. If you are in that position right now, you need to re-flash the custom recovery to be able reload the SU app to regain root.
If you are actually back in S-on, you need to restart the root process from the beginning.
THEN BACK UP IMMEDIATELY BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE....

I was able to get to HBOOT & I followed the steps in the 3rd post of this thread starting at step 5.
I didn't wipe anything (Wipe data, cache, and dalvik), so I don't know what the short term or long term effects are.
I used TiBup & My Backup Pro to restore my SMS/MMS...I don't really want to go any further until I know if I should go back & wipe those things & then do it over...anyone?
I ended up in the exact situation as the op. I went back to stock rooted with perm S-Off and the update got pushed to my phone.
When I noticed the phone trying to update but stuck at the screen you are describing I pulled the battery and went into recovery from hboot. In recovery under mounts there is an option to turn on sd storage or something like that. I've used it before so I knew it would allow me to access the sd card from pc. I then downloaded the rooted rom of the ota. Then I unmounted the phone from pc, rebooted recovery, and went through the normal rom installation.

The only issue to me seems if you have something on the phone not backed up you want to keep. Even if the update installs and it updates the bootloader back to s-on, revolutionary root still works so you cam just re-root.
Edit: I recommend you head over to thunderboltforums to at least restore the bootloader to stock s-off if you want to accept the update and re-root.

Hello Everyone,
I'm fairly new to rooting phones and ROMs so if this question dosn't make sense please destroy my inner child I have a rooted sgs3 using odin and factory verizon build but the problem I am having is with ClockwordMod I think. The samsung update restarts the phone but ClockworkMod starts up right away and won't let the update go through. Is there a setting I need to change to allow all updates to bypass ClockworkMod or is there another way for me to get the update?
Any help is much appreciated.

Sounds to me like cwm just saved you from an auto ota update.
I use twrp so i dont know the answer to your question but if you're rooted, why would you want an ota?

Hello and thank you for the reply. I'm not sure that I need/want it though it continues to ask me to update so it's either keep saying defer or just let it update.
Of you download and flash one of the latest and greatest roms, you wont get asked to update. There is a way you can stop the ota but i dont remember off the top of my head. Im sure google knows. I would just flash a newer rom that includes the update.
hmmmm

It is going to keep rebooting into CWM if you don't tell it to until you tell it to stop rebooting to recovery, which is an option in the menu system after flashing. If the OTA update installation is being intercepted by CWM's presence on your phone, then I'm not sure if there is a way around it other than flashing a ROM. Someone with more experience will have to chime in.
With that said, should you choose to install a new ROM, there are a plethora of ROM options on XDA, at least some of which have OTA updates disabled. See the following link for a guide (I'm assuming you are on Verizon):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32079760#post32079760
You can flash the stock, rooted ROM back on with ODIN, and then download EZ-Recovery (which has CWM) and load a custom ROM that way.
I use aokp but jellywiz is a nice stock like rom. Just download a rom and flash in cwm.

I'm fairly new to rooting phones and ROMs so if this question dosn't make sense please destroy my inner child I have a rooted sgs3 using odin and factory verizon build but the problem I am having is with ClockwordMod I think. The samsung update restarts the phone but ClockworkMod starts up right away and won't let the update go through. Is there a setting I need to change to allow all updates to bypass ClockworkMod or is there another way for me to get the update?
Any help is much appreciated.

If you want the update you should flash back to stock and restore the stock recovery. You can reroot and unlock the boot loader after you update.
Im having same issue. Verizion trying to force my phone to have less features. I was able to ignore it 2 weeks ago but now it keeps trying to force the update and I can keep delaying it. Any good tools you all know of to just block ota updates all together? Pretty happy with stock rom as is no need to fix it minus the copy and paste bug.
You can use Titanium Backup to freeze SDM 1.0 and the update will quit downloading. I'm not sure if freezing apps is supported in the free version but the paid version is well worth it of you plan on switching ROMs.
You could also flash Scotts stock rooted Rom with the latest update, then your phone status will say up to date. I flashed the zip right on my phone through cwm but I'm sure you can use Odin too

I was in the exact same situation as you. The phone will not update with Clockwork Recovery installed. I simply flashed back to the stock ROM via ODIN (stock.vzw_root66 which a quick search should locate), accepted the OTA update, and then used the beginner's guide in the Android Development forum to get back root.
I use Titanium Backup to freeze SDM 1.0. Like JBO1018 wrote, the PRO version is well worth the price, if only to freeze bloatware. Everything else it offers is gravy.
