I have just flashed GR-11 on my Cappy and I have some questions.
GR-11 and Continuum have different instructions and ways on how to update the BootLoader. Do they end up with the same end product?
So does following the guide for GR-11 allows me to flash Continuum without having to go back to stock? or do I have to go back to stock before flashing Continuum (re-update bootloader)
Side questions, could you use Froyo Rom after updating the BootLoader?
Thanx
If you have the JVB bootloaders already installed you can change to another JVB rom without reinstalling bootloaders. A couple of people in GR11 thread have reported going from C5 to GR11 with no issues. You cannot however run a froyo rom on these. You must flash back to stock to get correct bootloaders.
Yes you can.. I had absolutely no problem running stock 2.1 or serendipity 6.4 with the new bootloaders.
Just make sure the rom you're flashing doesn't include an sbl.bin (like cognition does) or you risk hard bricking your device.

I stand corrected.
hard brick = dead even with jig?
or recoverable with jig?
oh and how do I know whether a rom has sbl.bin inside or not?
and I did post this on GR-11, but I thought I might ask here as well,
does changing the kernel on GR-11 from the instruction to Talon matters?
file system wise it doesn't change right?

It's not even a question of risk. it's a GUARANTEE if it contains a froyo sbl.bin while you're on a gb boot.bin you will brick it. For good. dead. No life. A shell if it's former glory. A corpse... I think I made my point
look in the updates folder if the rom zip you wanna flash, if it had an sbl.bin delete it.
if you wanna flash talon just pop it in the pda slot of odin and flash like the instructions say, if you look in the .tar you will see it only contains a zImage which is the kernel.

Hard brick as in the hardware buttons or jig won't do anything. It'll just sit at a black screen until you mail it to Samsung for repairs.
You can check to see if a rom contains bootloaders by opening the zip archive. There will normally be three folders, META-INF, system, and a third one usually (but not always) called updates. Look into that last one. If it contains either boot.bin, sbl.bin or both, you might want to take a pass on that rom.

Need to update the update script if you're going to delete things from the package..
So to be safe, just stay in Gingerbread and nothing should go wrong right?
Flashing kernel and other roms should be safe as long as they are meant for Gingerbread then I conclude?
Thanx!
Once you have the boatloader installed you should be ok. Flashing between Roms should be ok if its compatible with the kernel as long the Roms are based off the gingerbread boatloader

Hey guys I am currently running Hamsterbread with X'Cals latest kernel.
And I have been reading everywhere that for flashing back to stock YOU MUST use Odin One CLick and if you use the 3-Button Fixed Odin you will brick you phone for good.
If I am a build 1010 and cannot use Odin One Click do y'all think this method would work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
Any Help will be GREATLY appreciated.
The only thing that could possibly happen to a later build phone using that odin one click is you will lose the 3 button combo (MAYBE) I flash and mod 3 captivates, 1 is a 1010 the other 2 are 1012 I have never used anything other than the one click to flash to stock, never even lost the button combo on ANY of those. But if you do lose the combo just use the odin with the button fix after you use the normal one.
The one with the button combo doesn't contain the second bootloader, so if you use that to go back to eclair from gb, you will have 2 incompatible bootloaders resulting in an unfixable BRICK. The normal one click contains BOTH bootloaders that is why you need to use it. But like I said once you are back on eclair and IF you have lost the button combo then you can use the other odin to get the combo back but only AFTER using the normal one click.
I don't know if that version of odin you posted contains both bootloaders so I personally wouldnt try it because of the reason I stated earlier.

I just hear stories about Build 1010's and up who flash back to stock using Odin One Click and then they get a soft brick where the device flashes the AT&T screen then turns off.
Luckily i have a jig but I still dont really know what to do.

First: no such thing as a "soft brick" that's a stupid name and it confuses people ... There is one kind of brick. When the phone does exactly the same as a brick. Nothing.
If you get a bootloop after using the one click I'm pretty sure the boot loaders have been flashed successfully (not 100% sure about that so wait for someone else to confirm/deny) in which case you could use another odin to recover from that.
If you weren't sure about how to return you really shouldn't have upgraded. As the deving for gingerbread is still in it's infancy. And might not be suited for daily use yet.
If you're still worried about all of it then just stay on gb and the devs will catch up and you will have more of options for roms/kernels, and maybe another way for later build phones to flash to stock with out the one click...

I flashed GB when X'Cal released his beta and I was testing for him it is recently though that people are saying that you cannot use anything but Odin One Click. And I know what I am doing in regards to flashing Gingerbread and the kernels and such so thats why I upgraded.
I will try Odin One-Click if I ever need too, but if someone can confirm or deny the fact that if you get in a bootloop after flashing Odin One-Click the Bootloaders successfuly flashed?
I would guess thats correct and then Id just use my normal method and Jig it into Download mode.
Thanks again though.
Try and go look around samfirmware.com
and see if you you can't find the .pit flies that contain both bootloaders they should have every odin file. and use the full version of odin with the other corresponding files needed.

Sorry to be a noob but what exactly should I be looking for in specific? How do I navigate and find pit files with both bootloaders are they categorized? Thanks

Alright thanks so much.
And and we are looking for a pit file with both bootloaders?
And if we find one just use regular Odin and use the .pit file we find and like a JH6 or JH2.tar file for PDA.
One last thing although there is nothing wrong and I do have a jig, you think I should try flashing Odin One Click and see what happens? : D. I dont want too because my set up currently is un real haha.
I do not think odin one click is wise, it only flashes secondary boot loader not primary. If you use it worth out chanting the primary back you will have non matching primary and secondary boot loaders. Nothing good can come of that

the pit file has nothing to do with the bootloaders. the bootloaders are in the .tar file which is inside the zip files on samfirmware.com
the pit file is for repartitioning, probably not needed, but probably worth doing just in case

Can I use odin one click to revert to stock even though I have 1101 build cappy? It seems oc only works for 1010 and below. Should I use odin 3 and flash stock jf6 instead? Currently on cog 4.4.

some people have trouble with odin one click with newer models. some dont.
you can flash anything with the odin 3 flasher.
avoid stocks with bootloaders. or "3 button fix" versions.
if you dont flash bootloaders you should never hard brick.
Once back to stock, do you know if I can use kies to flash official froyo upgrade, or will that be a prob after flashing custom rom? Is there an odin flash that will get me stock 2.2 without using any bootloaders? I've searched, but seems like everything takes you back to eclair.

I'm at&t. same thing right? I got one completely dead, bricked, cappy in the hands of samsung right now. Hoping they'll replace or fix me. Got one cappy in my hand that's being "borrowed" for the 30 day window till I find out what's up with the one samsung has. Hoping I can get functioning cappy back from samsung, and talk the wife into letting me keep the "borrowed" one. That way I have a stable one, and one to mess around with. Planning on taking on gingerbread, only once I've covered all my bases.....I think. Just wanted to know best way back to stock, just in case I needed to bring back the phone. Like I said, it's a 1101 build, and I'm currently running Cog4.4, so I didn't want to brick it with one click. Dumb noob question, but are boot animations same/diff from bootloaders. I opened archive on cog 4 and in system/bin their are boot animations. I flashed cog via rom manager. Did i just get lucky or are these not bootloaders, just animations? Is there a thread that shows which roms come with bootloaders and which don't?
read this it explains the boot process and what a bootloader is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049294
bootloaders are not the same as a boot animation.
animations are found in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
you didnt get lucky with cognition flashing a bootloader that will only **** **** up if you have gingerbread bootloaders which you didnt, so flashing a froyo secondary bootloader was fine (thats why its in there)
The bootloaders would be in the updates folder of the zip.
Thanks studacris. Seems the more I learn about all this, the more ii find stuff I didn't know. Constantly on forum trying to learn so I don't have to bother guys like you. Since I got ur attention, flashing to i9000 rom would require bootloaders correct? Looking to do that next. Currently im US, att, i896. Sorry to bother ya.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Sorry I meant i897
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
nope new bootloaders are only needed if you are jumping to gingerbread
only flashing the i9000 2.3.3 roms requires bootloaders. all the 2.2.1 roms will work without danger of bricking.
if all you did on the borrowed cappy is root and flash a kernel you can flash the backed up kernel and then unroot. (did you use sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel like when we talked about it? did you back up the kernel?)
you might want to look at getting a jig just to have one around. samsung keeps releasing new builds of the phone and there are unknowns. there are mixed reports from the 1010 build and up. you should be able to use odin 1.7 and flash the jf6 from icezar1 and you still have stock bootloaders so there "should" be no need for odin one click.
all the problems last time must have been do to the gingerbread bootloaders in combination with your 1010 build phone, i should have told you to use odin one click, infact you should have had a jig before i encouraged you to try gingerbread, my fault, but i didnt have problems when i did the same thing.
Should I flash a i9000 kernel before a i9000 rom? Then after all is said and done, find a compatible modem? Only reason I want to go to i9000 rom is because there seems to be more available. Can I do all this via sgs kernel flasher and rom manager/cwm or does it have to be done odin for the first switch to i9000? I'm assuming I can go back between sgh I897 and i9000 no prob since no ginger boots are involved? Just to be clear, even if I flash a rom with bootloaders, it shouldn't be a prob as long as it's 2.2 rom? Are 2.2 boots backwards compatible if i want to flash back to stock? I ask cuz prob can't use oneclick cuz my build is to new. again, don't mean to be a pest. cut me off whenever you feel like it.
Roms are all in one package kernel and modems are included.
so how do i go back to 2.2 for 2.3? ive had nothing but problems with 2.3 roms so i wanna gonna back.
You can flash directly from a 2.3 ROM to a 2.2 with no problem, as the bootloaders are backwards compatible. Flashing back to stock isn't really needed. However, you have to make sure that you do not, under any circumstances, flash a ROM with the file "sbl.bin" or you will brick your phone.
Did you try doing a search? There must be a dozen of these threads and a sticky on how to do it.

Who's going to check the rom to see if it has a sbl.bin file.
If you have any doubt what you're doing, use Odin1Click and flash back to stock 2.1. Then flash whatever rom you want whether it's stock froyo or a custom rom.

Hello everyone,
I am going to be getting my SGS 4G via Warranty Replacement tomorrow. My first question is that do I need to root to use ODIN? Also do you need to flash a different Froyo ROM over the Stock ROM? Finally what do you guys think is the best STOCK Gingerbread ROM.
Thanks for all of you help

you dont have to root to use odin. you can flash any rom posted in the bible and it should root it for you. you can odin any froyo from any other froyo rom. also, you can flash straight to gb if the rom you are flashing has the gb bootloaders.
i would go with the icbinb kh1 leak for now
Thanks a lot for your advice!
Also how is the performance compared to the myTouch 4G? That is the phone I am coming to and is their anything that you love/hate about the phone? Also do you need to flash a boot loader for icbinb kh1?
Thanks,
MacFan74318
If you're new to flashing, I would actually suggest for you NOT to flash any GB ROMs. The whole process of flashing one is so complicated right now. You probably have to reserve a whole day just to try and get it working. Flashing a Froyo ROM would be the easiest though.
Hmm that seems about right, I would like to try and wrap my head around it so I can make a guide so it can be easier for others. Also who is Linda? I have heard about it in the ROM's?

Can someone tell me if this will work?
So this is the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193751 (GingerBread ROM ?)
So in theory all I have to do is to put the phone in download mode and flash via ODIN? Do I need a GB Bootloader for this? (If so where can I find one)
Finally to overclock I just use Tegrak Overclock?
macfan74318
My advice is you read a whole lot. The myTouch 4G is easy to work with, took 2 steps to get from Froyo to GB. But for Samsung GS4G it's a whole lot more complicated and much more steps. Just learn how to use Odin as it's pretty much required for almost anything. Anyways, good luck.

ok i see since it has been so long since all the rogers development started people dont really remember about all the rainbow problems and how they were fixed and how the fix needs source code.
we now have bootloaders available in leaks from samsung. they are needed with the stock kernels that come in the leaks to avoid rainbow garbage. i am providing the bootloaders to be flashed in heimdall without having to flash a whole rom.
i would like to make this explicitly clear that if this bricks your phone i am not to blame. there is a significant risk when flashing bootloaders! though the infuse seems to have safety measures i strongly recommend only flashing once. and if your phone becomes a brick you will need to solder things to the phone to fix it via j-tag or adam outlers unbrickable mod. be cautious! dont flash boot.bin without sbl.bin, dont flash sbl.bin without boot.bin, dont mix up the partitions, and if the phone bricks i dont want to know about it unless you want to pay me to fix it!
heimdall package
http://www.multiupload.com/GXUTF4QCJX
odin package (untested)
http://www.multiupload.com.... REMOVED May be failing to flash. very dangerous situation...
bootloaders for heimdall to be added through the "flash" tab (unzip first! ibl/pbl-boot.bin, sbl-sbl.bin)

there is difs. but I couldn't tell you what. I saw posts by Linux bozo who did binary diferencials but I don't see any difference.
I know the bootloaders have a counter for customer kernels. if you flash the parameters.ifs from the ultimate unbrick it resets it. I also know they changed the galaxy s 2 bootloaders so it was harder to reset the counter so don't expect to be able to reset it when the official update comes along. I also have been using the "if it ain't broke " theory and honestly don't remember which I am using. the packages here are uckk3. if people can test if the counter can still be reset by flashing param.ifs let me know. ill post older bootloaders if it can't otherwise I can't think of any reason to pick one over another.
If i am flashing the bootloaders via odin does the .tar file go in the pda slot. thank you for this.

yes. that's how I would do it. the PDA slot seems to be automatic as far as partition sorting. the phone slot is for modems but if a modem is included in a package for the PDA slot it flashes just fine. the bootloaders are in the PDA packages normally so that's how I would do it.
please report results because I don't run windows and did not test that package.
I will report back once i get around to flashing the bootloaders. Thanks again for this.

don't select repartition, no need for a pit, the rom shouldn't matter, the file should go in the PDA slot. remember I haven't tested it in Odin. I don't run windows and have little interest in using Odin for anything. phone needs to be in download mode just like flahong a rom. it should only take a second or two to flash. good luck
Cool i should be able to figure this out. Thanks for the quick response.
It didn't work. I had auto restart, f.reset and the PDA slot checked after i opened the file in the PDA slot and after clicking start it just sat at setup for 45 min until i gave up and flashed back to stock. I had to pull the cord while in download mode and the screen turned black with green dots so i had to flash blindly. I tried it twice and the same thing. Has anyone else tried this?

I had auto restart, f.reset and the PDA slot checked after i opened the file in the PDA slot and after clicking start it just sat at setup for 45 min until i gave up and flashed back to stock. I had to pull the cord while in download mode and the screen turned black with green dots so i had to flash blindly. I tried it twice and the same thing. Has anyone else tried this?

I have a bunch of downloads but nobody reported anything at all till now.
ill pull the Odin version for now. try it in heimdall. its not any harder to use.
Can you post an odin package.
I had an Odin package. I got a few downloads, didn't get any people thanking for it, didn't get any positive feedback that it worked and had one user report problems, see the last couple posts. I pulled the file for lack of evidence that it worked. I don't run windows and prefer heimdall so I haven't tested it in Odin. sorry but I suggest you either flash an entire rom leak then flash a non secure kernel through Odin ( any custom kernel should do also flashing back to stock should also do just fine) and then flash a rom or learn heimdall which works on windows as well as Mac and Linux. I would have done a oneclick package but it still requires the installation of the heimdall back end and I figured it was really no harder to just use the heimdall package system.
any chance of relink thats not at multiupload?
edit: disregard, found a workaround. might be useful in future tho.
