Don't EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
Vibrant Roms are known to brick the GS4G. No matter what vibrant rom, unless it's specifically mentioned as SAFE in this forum, all Vibrant roms are a no-go.
Dumb move on my part
well..... What if this one noob (me) didnt do his research beforehand? Now im trying to flash back to a stock rom but ODIN wont get past the cache step without failing me. Ive tried KD1 KC1 and KB5 and all have failed

Hey all,
Not that i want to, but i was wondering how if possible, to unroot the samsung captivate. I got it rooted and installed the JH2 rom, but i don't know how to revert if i can.
I see the odin one click downloader to go back to the stock rom, but i don't know if that will unroot and make my phone as it was.
I would also like to know if i'm rooted and running the jh2 rom, what would happen if i click the reset button in the privacy menu of the settings.
It's called a one click tool for a reason. It reverts you entirely back to the original "out of the box" feeling. I'm pretty sure even att or samsung could figure out it had a different rom on it.
Also, rooting and flashing a rom are not the same thing

Hey thanks for the reply.
I know that rooting and flashing a rom are not the same thing which is why i was confused about that one click tool. I was unsure if it would just revert a rom and not a root or if it would do both.
Thanks for the clarification.

Odin will perform a full flash of whatever ROM (the one-click just happens to do JF6 for AT&T) you want. This will replace everything, including partitioning even (that's what the .pit file is, if memory serves). Basically, I'd be willing to believe if you were to use Odin with the JF6 ROM and drop it off at AT&T, they would be none the wiser. You can also, of course, use this tool to flash the i9000 ROMs with our captivate kernel (buggy at best) or even use the new JH2 ROM (as you obviously know by saying you're on JH2).
A factory reset will only put you back to "factory" settings, I don't even know if it will restore missing AT&T apps, but I doubt it. But it will keep you on your current ROM. So factory reset on JH2 will keep you on JH2, while flashing with the one-click tool on JH2 will put you on JF6. Sorry if this is repetitive and long-winded, but I figured any additional clarification for others couldn't hurt
Edit: I should also add there IS a way to unroot somewhere on this forum, too lazy to do the search right now. There's a one-click root/unroot that I believe SHOULD work with JH2.

Haha, i had to read this a couple times but i learned more in that post than i ever knew about these phones. I thank you for that. This definitely clarified allot of questions that i probably would have plagued the forums with.
(sorry if i put this thread in the wrong section, i see it was moved)
Thanks for the help =)
Alright so I had successfully rooted my vibrant at one point and was fine with using hybrid R4.. I then flashed to 2.2 froyo, then tried to go back down to 2.1.. forgot to flash kernel and then had to use Odin 1.3 to revert back to stock. used odin with T959UVJI6... now how do i reroot my phone? it doesnt have the update.zip anymore, and i really dont think its rooted... whats the best way to root this guy now that i have i used odin to flash back to a almost, if not completely stock rom? i have tried my original method of superoneclick to which now doesnt seem to work...
Dont help this A-Hole
because I wanted to try out a gingerbread rom and i figured that since I was at stock I would open up Kies to see what kind of update it would say for the phone, but when I looked at it, Kies doesnt show anything. I mean it reads and finds my phone no problem but where it shows "Current Firmware Version" its just empty.
I remember previous times I did it, it would still show Version 2.1 and ask me if i wanted to update to 2.2.
So I guess im asking, if I should be concerned with this?
I did use Odin to go back to 2.1 btw
which odin?
odin3 one click? the ATT one? the one that obviously wouldnt work with Rogers keis?
or odin3 flashing utility with the Rogers Stock roms in my sig?
keis is crap anyway. if you want 2.2 flash my 2.2 stock. but dont bother if you are going to flash gingerbread. avoid 3e recovery, but theres a fix for that too in my sig.

Actually it was yours in your sig. It was the only one I have been using since I found it at like the beginning of the year. You are right Kies is crap but I keep it because id like to give Gingerbread stock a shot once it comes out before flashing to gingerbread roms. But now that I think about it, I think it might be that kies had an update when i opened it since its been so long from the last time i used it. So it was probably that.
And thanks I will look at that 3e recovery before i start flashing.
Been searching for a way to unroot my samsung galaxy s 4g. Tried the superclick method and the universal galaxy s tool wit no luck. Can anyone help, or guide me towards the right direction please?
you can odin a rom that is prerooted. or you can odin bali and flash from there. i would suggest odining ravers KC1 first and then bali and you should be good to go. let me know if you cant find it in the bible or through search and i'll help you out
He's trying to unroot. Are you unrooting on Froyo or GB? Froyo should really be as easy as SuperOneClick > unroot. GB would probably require a new flash of GB.
I'm curious though, why unroot?
thanks jagger, but bkoon is right... I bought this phone for my girl as a gift. It was already rooted by unknown source and was loaded with froyo 2.2.1. Tried hookn her up with GB through odin but got a lil confused, roms werent being flashed and was stuck with bootloops. So than i tried flashing thru CWM, with the vodoo lagfix, and once i got them to flash phone was pretty unstable. so I tried reverting back to froyo using odin. Got it flashed back but now her phone goes thru some serious glitches. I figured if i can unroot, i can start all over from scratch. Im no professional but have experience on other phones, but this phone has been a serious beeeeotch from day 1. Any ideas bro?
my bad. misread that. it sounds to me like you messed up the bootloaders. search for ravers kc1 and flash all 4 or so files in odin and that should give you a fresh start. once there, format the sd card on the phone and reboot. then reinstall your drivers (uninstall, reboot computer, reinstall) and then try superoneclickroot and try unrooting again.

I hope that phone was purchased from a credible source and it wasn't stolen. That would suck if someone reported it and her phone got blacklisted.
Unrooting the phone won't help make much of a difference though. Odin'ing RaverX3X's KC1 will already remove your root and give you the cleanest slate you can possibly get on this forum. From there, you can work on getting GB on the phone. I hope you have experience flashing with this device though. Reading is VERY important for this phone. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as other phones out there.
Follow what jager555 said. He's got his stuff down, lol.
lol. Thanks!

flash kc1 itll do the trick
Thanks jagger and bkoon, going to work on it tonight. Hopefully all goes well.
OK so a while ago I rooted my friends rogers infuse with super one click. We then tried to flash a custom kernel on it but at the time I was a huge noob and bricked it and couldn't get it back to a working state. He only had the phone for a week so we suckered rogers into giving him a new one. Since then I've learned alot and managed to install custom roms on my i9000 sucsessfully. But now when I go to root his infuse with super one click it won't work. When he got his new phone after i bricked the the other one they hooked the phone up to there computer and did something. Is it possible that they blocked root somehow? That said would it be safe to flash infused kernel onto the phone through Odin?

Search threads.
One-click shouldn't be used for rooting the Rogers Infuse as it is running Gingerbread. There is a specific way of rooting the Rogers version (involves Odin). From what I know, one-click is just for the AT&T (2.2 Froyo) version.
Good luck!

Ya that's what I read everywhere but I actually got it to root through super one click. I haven't been able to do it again. Needless to say I still fixed my problem. I would plug the phone in and Odin would recognize it and then it would say it disconnected. Then it would say the device malfunctioned. What fixed it for me is I flashed my friends girlfriends infuse first cause it was having no issues(still her first one never been tampered with by rogers like the other one was). And then his worked just fine. Flashed kernel got cwm and installed zeus. Of course after I hard bricked it by flashing froyo based kernel then tried to fix it with a gb kernel and encountered a problem while updating firmware. Got to love back to stock guides!
