I am new to the world of flashing... tried it once and ended up hard bricking phone... totally my fault with wrong rom. sent it out to get fixed. got it back and all is good. but now my phone runs 2.3.3. tried to root with no luck. trying to atleast restore some apps and contacts
phone stats
model no: sgh-t959v
firmware: 2.3.3
baseband: t959vukf1
kernel: 2.6.35.7-t959vuvkf1-cl270364
build no: gingerbread.vuvkf1
any help and assistance appreciated. ive tried to read as much as i could, but most seem to be based off upgrading from 2.2.
thank you in advance
are you able to restore contacts through gmail sync? and as far as apps goes the ones that youve bought/downloaded from the market you will have to redownload...did you backup your apps with titanium backup?
yeah. backed up with Ti. most of my contacts were phone stored
you wont get the contacts back that werent synced to gmail or tmobile.
but try going to /sdcard/titaniumbackup and your apps should be in there, and either push them to /data/app/ or use root explorer and put them there...let me know how it goes.

i thought i couldnt use a root explorer without first rooting?
since im basically at square 1, can i just odin a rooted rom like icbinb or trigger? just want to make sure that i dont brick again, my wife would kill me..lol
you cant use root explorer to its full potential without rooting.
you should be able to odin back to froyo, but read through the threads to make sure you get to bootloaders right, because if you dont, you will hard brick your phone
you cant odin icbinb or trigger. those are only cwm flashable. once you successfully odin back to kb5 or kc1, look in krylons final cwm thread and move the two files to the right place and then you can flash one of those roms. for more information about the cwm flashable or odin roms, got to the bible thread in the development section
quick question... how do i know what bootloader i have?
if you are on 2.3 and you get the rainbow screen, then you are on froyo bootloaders. if you dont, you are on gb bootloaders. if you are running froyo fine, then you are on froyo bootloaders.
yea...im pretty sure thats right. lol. like 85%.
rainbow screen? tried to search for what that looks like?
is that only during initial boot
im guessing i have gb bootloader.... no crazy rainbow screen???
I'm a noob too, but this worked for me
I think I was in the same boat - rooted 2.2, then upgraded to 2.3.3 but lost root. I had all the Ti backup done, but then couldn't use it without re-rooting. I followed this (twice, the first time I didn't read carefully):
1. download things below:
Download zimage-root.tar to computer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=627433&d=1308258432
2. Download zimage.tar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=628363&d=1308338680
3. Download ODIN to computer and unzip it: http://www.mediafire.com/file/1qqk94teauc64nb/Odin3-v1.85.zip
4. You should have working USB connection between computer and phone. If not, install Samsung USB drivers:
download Samsung Drivers for 32-Bit windows: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
download Samsung Drivers for 64-Bit windows: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
5. reboot into download mod.
6. run the ODIN exe.
7. connect phone to computer.
8. click pda, select zimage-root.tar file, click start.
9. when finish, get a bootloop, remove phone from usb.
10. power off, replace the battery, again download mod, connect phone to computer, run the ODIN again.
11. click pda, select the zimage.tar file, click start.
12. reboot.
Wait you just got this phone back and its completely stock and running 2.3.3 out of the box?! Um that means they have already started to roll out the GB update for the SGS4G??? Why is nobody excited about this haha
on second thought: GRAB THAT PHONE THIS INSTANT AND HARVEST THOSE BOOTLOADERS WE NEED THOSE IF THEY ARE OFFICIAL LOL YOU MY FRIEND MAY HAVE THE FIRST OFFICIAL ROLLOUT OF GB WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO FLASH I BACK TO FROYO???
on third thought: i can help you with the contacts, if they were saved to your phone and your phone only then im sorry but you will never get those contacts back. Create a gmail account if you do not have one and go into settings and accounts and sync check the google and tmobile sync settings to have your contacts backed up for future use, this will solve your problem if it happens that you need to do a master reset or get a new phone! As far as restoring apps i cannot say much because you are running gingerbread.

So I powered the phone down for class, and when I turned it back on three hours later, it hung at the boot animation, and then eventually just went to a black screen. Battery is at 100%, I had it charged that morning. Is there any way to fix my phone?
Need a little more info from you. Did you root, install any lag fixes, did you make a nandroid backup? One way that's sure to fix it is the Odin One Click Downloader listed in the development section of the Captivate forums, its always worked for me, but if you didn't have a backup it will wipe your settings and info and you'll be starting from scratch.
I was rooted, I was in the process of the 'one-step lag fix' when I realized busybox was giving me an error. It was version 1.18.1 instead of 1.17.1. So I went back to the recovery menu thing and reinstalled packages.
I have no clue what Nandroid is honestly. I'll look into Odin, but is there a Mac version?
As far as I know there isn't a Mac version of Odin yet....once you root download Rom Manager from the market place and then have it install the Clockwork Mod Recovery image, once thats done if your rom is stable use Backup current rom. I'd check if theres a wiki for Mac users, I use windows so I have no clue. I know you can download a new version of busybox installer from the market that lets you choose which version of busybox to install now. The ext2 lag fixes are pretty unstable and have caused some headaches (worked fine for me, but I still reverted back to normal). I'll post back later if I figure out a way for you to return to stock with a mac, but you might be able to just flash one of the stock roms through rom manager now after you change its name to update.zip, or flash one of the new roms that root for you (I've had pretty good luck with those so far).
Captivate doesnt work
I don't know if we have the same problem, but i got stuck on that black screen and wont boot up. I was able to recover it by doing that one click root for samsung captivate. (check it out on one of the threads) Just run the one click root/unroot it doesnt matter. Now when you're on the phone recovery screen instead of clicking "reinstall something" go to delete data, click it. as well as delete cache. then go up to do a reboot. Thats it, Worked for me hope it works for you!
p.s. Don't know if you can do it on a mac though, or you can always borrow a friends pc.

I'm gonna try the delete cache/data.
You're most likely going to have to do an Odin flash.
If you are doing the ext2 fix, and busybox throws you an error, there are instructions that say run Remove to back off and fix busybox before rebooting, or this happens.
does anyone know exactly what the 'delete all user data' does?
Does it just delete downloaded apps and your contacts and music and stuff? Or will it like completely destroy my phone?
The only way to completely destroy your phone, is with physical violence, immolation, etc.
so it just goes back to a stock ROM without downloaded apps/root/whatnot?

Odin will return the phone to an out of the box state, delete all user info will just remove you settings and personal info. I've read in other forums that you don't even need to download drivers to get your phone connected to a Mac, have you gone into settings>applications>development and enabled usb debugging? Try that and then plug your phones usb cable in. The Odin One Click Downloader thread also says you don't need drivers for Mac. I asked in the wiki thread for someone to post some info for Mac users, maybe it'll help.
EDIT: Also I know its a pain but you can get Astro File Manager from the market (free) and go into Preferences and enable browser download, then just download the update.zip on your phone and move it around and rename it with Root Explorer (a paid app but worth the money) that should let you flash roms and so on from your own phone after rooting of course.
Trying to get Clockwork mod to work and am Screwing it up I guess. I bought Rom Manager trying to download a Rom thru it but it doesnt want to let me do this. So I guess I am going to try Precision. I downloaded it and have it on the SD card but it seems to be doing something wierd. I did a titanium backup of my apps. How do I save my current Rom incase I screw pooch? Please help a clueless tired of waiting on ATT newb
PS Phone was already rooted prior to Rom Manager
Need to do the following to get clock work installed. Its not a signed install so you need to mod the boot loader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213&highlight=signature
Where to start?
Did you flash clockwork, top option.in rom manager
You are on 2.1 correct
Ok this just got confusing. Do I just put this file on SD card too or does this require more steps?
Yes I did that and it says I have Current Recovery ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2
If you have clockwork recovery you can flash.
When you say backing up your rom are you looking for a way back to stock
Yes. In case I screw the pooch. But what about what tnerb said about modifying the boot loader???
PS Yes I am on 2.1 and was rooted prior to putting Rom Manager on phone
PPS should I also delete everythign off SD card before continuing

Do you have your contacts backed up
Usb drivers installed
Yeah drivers are installed. I have been using Kies for media transfers. I was hoping Samsung would make it a usefull program but I dont think that will ever happen. I thought TBU backed that up when I backed up my phone.
If you want to flash its easy, probably should take the time to understand, but I can get you flashed quick
Sure I appreciate the help. I hate to say most of the tutorials online suck. LOL
Cant I just save my contacts to the Sim and be ok?
So what is it, get me there now, be safe and learn. I am bored, nothing new ro flash
Be safe and learn is always good with me
Do you use gtalk
OK fellas, I have a brand new Captivate. Build is 1102. The phone shipped with 2.2. I bricked the first one so bad I had no choice but to replace it. The second one was almost to that point before I got Odin 3-click to get back to stock 2.1 update 1. Now I'm trying to get back to stock 2.2 and I can't seem to find anything relating on how to do that from my situation. I have literally been up for 38 hours working on this. Took me the first 24 just to get 2.1 on it. I am really stuck here. If anyone has a tool, or a guide, or a hint or a .9mm that can get 2.2 on my phone, please throw me a freaking bone...
Thanks in advance
up for 36 hours isnt going to help.
go get some sleep. come back later.
wait...
you are on your 3rd cappy and still dont know what to do?
Wait so it came with 2.2 you used odin to go to 2.1 and now you wanna go back to where you started?
Ummm ... have you tried kies mini?
When I couldn't use Kies Mini to update my phone from Eclair, I used ODIN 3 (not one click) to upgrade to Froyo - using the image found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11526718&postcount=1

Im on my second Captivate. I was actually able to bring it back from brick by building a jig.
@studacris::: It came with 2.2, i flashed a custom rom which was giving me problems, tried flashing back and it failed leaving me with a brick. Built a jig and flashed odin 3-click which put 2.1 on it. I tried to use mini kies but it says my phones firmware is unregistered and will not let me update it...

turn on usb debugging before you connect it to kies
i have not tried the following link but I saved the file just in case I needed it. According to the post that I download the file from, it said its supposed to take you back to JI6:
download here
just be careful because I did not test this file myself
Use the jf6(2.1) odin one click and then there is a file you can use in the odin standalone to get you to kb1(2.2).

Please push *2767*4387264636# or download SGS Tools and select the second option in the Secret Codes section. This will output your product code. If it says anything other than SGH-I897ZKAATT, your product code has probably been tainted, which causes the Kies "unregistered device" error.
The reason this always happened for me is that the product code was changed by the custom ROM. If you do not have a backup of your EFS partition, then correcting this will require a hex editor. I used the method described here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880223 . Messing around with EFS is inadvisable unless you know perfectly what you are doing. (Trust me on this as Sammy has my first phone for this reason alone.) It wont hurt anything to have an incorrect product code, aside from not being able to update to new software through Kies, but if you mess up anything inside of the file that is edited during the process in the forum link listed above, your radio firmware won't know what its own IMEI is. This can cause your phone to stop functioning as a phone.
The first thing that you should do before flashing any ROM is to backup EFS. There is a method for that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859914 . I backed up EFS using every backup method described there (there are two or three I think), then I copied those backups to every thumb drive and storage device I have. I always have restored using the "tarball" method and have used Kies to get back to 2.2 about 20 times without the "unregistered device" issue.
So the most important question is - Do you have a backup of your EFS? (please say yes) If so, then it is just as simple as restoring EFS.
Another possibility if your redneck.nerdishness extends to Linux usage is to use Heimdall for your Froyo upgrade. I used that on my phone when Kies mini was failing on me. Search for Heimdall in the Captivate and standard Galaxy S forums, then follow the instructions to use it with the stock update.zip file linked in the forums.
Okay... Long story short, I have an Infuse, which I flashed with the Gingerbread 2.3.5 leak using Odin this weekend (It was rooted and all was well before) I couldn't get my email to work correctlry, so like I dumb-a** I continued monkeying with it until I bricked it. (Insert laughter here)
After an hour or two, I was finally able to get it back into download mode and used GTG's Ultimate Unbrick to help my phone back to life. Link here for whoever needs it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
When it was all said and done, the phone was a F/W version 2.2.1 BB ver. I997UCKD5 kernel 2.6.32.9 FROYO.UCKD5 build. (At least it sort of worked. Most apps fail and cause a force quit prompt. Google Talk authentication fails and I cannot reliably download any apps from the market)
I had a heck of a time getting it to root, but was able to do so. SU installed and binary updated to 3.0. I load up root explorer and go to /system/bin to replace the recovery file and have have hit a snag that I just can't get past. I changed the directory permissions to R/W and can rename the file, but every time I do so, if I leave the directory to copy the replacement recovery file, the file reverts back to it's original name. I have also tried just simply deleting it, which shows a confirmation message that it has been deleted, but when I go out of the directory and back in, it's there again. I have also just tried overwriting it or changing the file permissions to no avail. I'm totally perplexed.
I have tried using Odin to re-flash the Gingerbread, the Stock ROM, and the "unbrick" files again, just to get me to a different point, but they all fail in the partitioning phase or partially through the FS check.
Any thoughts? (I've been at this for a few days now and am ready to just start fresh with a new infuse, keeping this one as a test unit. LOL)
I'm looking spcifically for help getting this phone into the modified 3e recovery mode, so I can load new roms from the phone, or maybe a different ROM that I can load with Odin to make it work properly again...
Thank you very much in advance.

Odin id notoriously unreliable. Especially on the infuse. Use heimdall to unbrick. Adam outlet posted a one click heimdall but locked the thread because it had issues on windows XP. But I would get the full version of heimdall and use it to flash the community kernel. voodoo kernels will root you on first boot as well as have cwm baked in. why people are still rooting and using green cwm after pushing a modded recovery file I'll never understand.
After Odin did you factory reset from the settings? If not yeah you'll get gtalk authentication fail (happened to me many times before ) , if you haven't done it I would suggest before you root / using different Rom on your phone, you should considered doing it.

also I verified my busybox version and found out I was a couple behind thanks for that hint.
it also turned out that my root explorer needed to be updated as well. Once I got everything working it took the 3e recovery without a hitch.

How did you back up?
If you used CWM (from the A2 Bootstrapper) just reboot into CWM, go to backup and restore, select restore, and select the backup that you made.
If you didn't use CWM or you can't find the backup then you will have to flash the fxz as said above. It will completely remove all of your apps and return you to stock 2.3.5. Make sure that you follow the directions about replacing files.
Thank you matt99017d I will check the link and cogeary I did the back up CWM I'll go that route first if that doesnt work, I'll go back to the beginning. Thank you again for the help
I could not find the backup in CWM so I flashed fxz following the instruction on the link you provided and the info. I'm back to 2.3.6 and it is rooted. Thats as far as I'm going for now, thanks for the help you all provided.
I see at /system/etc/init.d 2 files with sd-card optimization. 03sdtweak and 99override. Is there right or needed to delete one of them?
I highly suggest getting Titanium, for the cases where you don't have a back up, because I lost all my free apps and I don't even remember what all I had. I'm getting things back as I need them.

I haven't tried it myself but if you've made a backup in CWM you have the option to only restore apps/data.
Well I decided to give SuperCharged V5 with update 1, and when I disconnected form the charger this morning it was stuck in the boot animation. It has been stuck in that position for the last 30 minutes.
I connected it to PC and it doesnt show as being connected. I've done a search and can't find anything on how to fix it.
I did a battery pull, took SD card out to see if I could maybe transfer something from it to desktop, but everything that was on it is gone.
Don't know what happened.
Can someone point me in the right direction?? In the mean time I'll keep looking.
Ozzie Im in a similar situation. I"m in a bootloop as well (Supercharged Logo just keeps rolling on the screen). I can't get into the Android OS, and I also can't even get into Fastboot to flash back to stock. At this time it appears its bricked. I have been trying to fix this the past 12 hours.
Are you in the same situation??!

flashing the stock fxz worked
Man...and I was gonna do this...flash the supercharged ROM. Nevermind.
after i flashed the 2.3.5 fxz like the bootstrapping thread instructed, i installed the ota update and rooted my phone again and then i tried the custom rom again just for fun
but this time i did v5 and then update 1. then instead of doing update 2, i flashed the image of the rom that's linked right under update 2 in the supercharged thread
it works flawlessly for me now
so i would just recommend that
