I don't want to change them, I just want the original boot up/start up. I tried a rom and then went back to stock and my start up is not original.
ooo ok... what rom and what exactly is not original ?

I tried Syndicate, which I liked but I'am a fan of the stock feel.
Epic Experience wouldn't install
Installed Asop
Then I went to my backup I made of My stock Rom just to see if everything works right.
What is not original is when you boot into your phone/power on you see the sprint logo and S galaxy logo. Well and image of a flashing Android Banner keeps flashing/popping up on the intros, but not on outro/shuntdown.
hmmm have u checked for a bootanimation.zip? thats kinda what it sounds like b/c i heard that were able 2 use a bootanimation.zip but something has 2 be changed in (i think) the init.rc file.... worse case scenario just flash back 2 stock
No I haven't, where can i get the zip from?
i mean from installing one of the roms it might have installed a bootanimation.zip (im not 100%)
So what do I have to do?
I would try flashing with odin 2 fully stock and that should bring everything back

What type of backup did you make? The nandroid backup from Clockwork Recovery does not backup the kernel.
You may need to install the stock kernel.
IMHO, the best thing is probably to flash the stock image using odiin & then root / install Clockwork Recovery (or whatever you used for backup) so you can restore your data.
You can then be sure you are starting from original stock ROM & kernel.

what is odin, and how do I do this

You need to follow the instructions for How To Return To stock at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
You probably then want root & install CWM by following the
Epic 4G All in One Root and Recovery instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103

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

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 have a Samsung S2 Galaxy Skyrocket (SGH-I727) on the AT&T network. I set my phone into download mode, opened Odin3 v.1.85 and selected the .tar file I downloaded off this forum to root the device. Well after about 30 mins of Odin being stuck with the "<ID:0/009> SetupConnection.." prompt I figured it froze up or something. Well I restarted everything and and now my phone just goes straight into Odin mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I'm trying to reload the .tar and it is still doing the same thing...
I'm a complete noob at this! Will someone please help me out with really simple detailed instructions on how I can get my phone working again? I will do anything in return!!!!

Just so you know, reflashing it will work. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Just make sure repartition is not checked, only reboot. click pda and select the CWM tar. Just make sure the device is recognized in the com port before you push start.

Use odin and flash the sammobile image it will wipe everything but should fix the issue
CM9 Skyrocket
Sometimes its as simple as rebooting your computer, open Odin as admin, select your tar under PDA, connect your phone, make sure com is lit up and flash. My windows machine gets freaky like that sometimes and just fails or sits there doing nothing. Driver issue I assume even though they are there. I've encountered that error a few times trying to flash in Odin. No worries. These guys will get you back up. Good luck!

Got it! Working on downloading the .tar file from sammobile right now.
You mentioned different versions of the OS like ICS and 4.0... Which one do I want? LOL and where do I get it? I'm assuming its different than the firmware correct?

Thats a personal choice. Currently there are many different roms floating around but it depends on what you want.
Deciding on which to get is a matter of 2 simple questions for me: Do you want to be up to date, since ICS is the new hottest, thing (sexier UI IMO, some app issues, but overall feel wise. it makes the phone feel so much better, and fits the sleek profile, but lets not have me go on about aesthetics lol.
Or do you want functionatilty, extra options, overclocking (changing clock speeds) and things like that, currently we can only do that on 2.3.5/6 (Gingerbread, also known as GB)
I personally like ICS. Sometimes the Skyrocket just has to be sexy than the powerhouse e-beast that it is. That will happen whenever the Official ICS comes out

You don't need the sammobile tar unless you're returning to stock. If you wanna just be stock rooted, flash CWM in odin. Make a nandroid backup. Then put the superuser zip on the sd card and flash it in CWM.
If you wanna run a custom rom from our dev section, just flash CWM, make a backup and then flash the rom which will already be rooted

no matter what you're doing with the Infuse, whether it's wiping or reset or repartition flash, or odin or heimdall, DO NOT CLEAR YOUR EFS UNLESS you are absolutely sure you have an EFS backup somewhere.
If you flash or clear your EFS and you don't have a back up, you're SOL
Yes. It's back. Don't recall if I've flushed my EFS or not. Now what do I have to do in order to be able to run CWM?
What do I do if the EFS is wiped anyway?
Anybody? On either thing?

Won't be an issue once you have make a tar of efs either with my backup, zen tool kit or any method. It may be the syntax, but when you wipe your efs partition, good luck on getting it back. I believe it was bml5.
Efs clears the programming on your phone cause me to need reactivated nothing more i use it everytime i resale a phone due to my info being able to read if i do not clear it. Efs clears what a factory reset will not. Including total talk time on the phone and stuff like that

I believe if you rename the backup then you will have to remake the MD5 for that backup, which isnt really a big deal. Just wanted to toss that out there.

That's incorrect. The date issue is still there regardless of how it's flashed in. Some people have reported issues with restoring after renaming. Consensus seams to be if you keep the default cwm assigned name and add your own to the end of it without any spaces, any reported issues dissappear.
Boom! Jellybomb biatch!
annoying for sure. I just rename the moment I am done and booted back up.
TWRP date is also wrong but you can rename them anything you want at time backup. :laugh:
The guy meant backup FROM RM, it allows you to rename the backup file before it gets created, then reboots into recovery and creates the backup.
please try to search for your problem before posting... I'm typically the last to complain about that, but geez us...

TWRP does everything rom manager does except download roms which have been seen to cause bricks. Backups are named before creation also but already booted into recovery. One stop shop. Easier wipe.

I got to jump on that one of these days to see what all the fuss is about, I'm just loving cwm touch too much! I assume when changing, your existing nandroids will become useless, so would make sense to copy onto your cpu incase they are needed down the road...?
