Need stock AT&T firmware

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...

[Q] CWM Recovery flashing issues

Hey everyone, I followed instructions on flashing the CWM recovery by using root explorer and then flashing the update.zip, i've seem to run into a brick wall here. I booted into recovery 3e the samsung stock recovery that came with my SGS4G then i reinstall update, it continues until it cant verify the signature on the zip file... im stuck! Am i doing something wrong?

Sounds like a corrupt download. Redownload and make sure you push the recovery to the right place and the update.zip is at the root of your SDcard.
Also please keep all questions in the "general" section.

Yupper.....signature verification errors are always 1 of 2 things:
1) not properly signed
2) corrupt download
Just for future reference.

Thank for the fast reply! I downloaded the zip 3 times already lol, and i know i have root because i used rage to exploit and i've overwritten the recovery in /system/bin with superuser permission using root explorer as explained in the thread... would it make a difference if i pushed it via adb? i was unable to push due to adb recognizing as read only so i opted for the root explorer.

Push the recovery?
sent from the pits of hell (from an sgs4g)

"Recovery" as in the binary modification required for cwm is what I meant, not cwm itself

If you want to push it you need to be in root in adb. Should make a difference though. I did it with root explorer.

That's what i thought.... hmmmm and i did have my shell root on but i was still unable to push files, but still it shouldnt have mattered what method i chose to overwrite the binary with, as long as it was successful (supposedly)

no. i'm talking about the 'Mount R/W' button on Root Explorer. That's what lets you replace the recovery that's already in your system/bin/ with the one that drhonk posted - or you get 'permisson denied' error.

*facepalm... i'm going to try it again THIS TIME w/mount, i'll get back to ya in a few. kudos for the input it's appreciated!

I had CWM (Krylon’s Version) working in a previous install of KD1 from Kies upgrade. Then I hosed my upgrade to BFrost ROM. I have Odened back to Whawks KD1 this the second time just in case it did not take on the first try. Both times I cannot get CWM to go in recovery. I have replaced system/bin/ recovery from a fresh download and placed update.zip on the root of Ext SD. I know recovery was over written properly because the date changed and Root explorer did not error out. I even restarted the phone 3 times to make sure it set. When I go to recovery and select ‘Reinstall Packages” I’m getting :
E: Can’t Mount /Dev/Block/mmcblk0p1
E: Can’t Mount SDCARD:Update.zip
It makes it sound like Recovery file is not taking. I did not have this problem with my original KD1 install before I hosed the system. Any thoughts?? I’ve tried many times with same result.

^ i just installed bfrost.... im now completely sponged and have to start from scratch using odin ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh one issue after another! I STILL LOVE THIS PHONE THOUGH! Sorry i cant be of much help im seriously lacking knowledge in the galaxy

I'm thinking it's a rights issue. This Rom has given me a couple FC's. One of them with SU so I may have a flaky SU. What's weard is that I know I changed the recovery file. That was the error I was getting when I frist tried installing it last month until I replaced the Recovery file.

not in superuser. you need to change permission in the program your using to replace the recovery file since its a system file

[HOW-TO]EXT4 on GummyCharged1.9RC1 (EP1Q)

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3163
this thread is now null and void lol. for anyone that wants it, kejar released his own updated Cwm version of gummycharged. follow the link above for his ext4 lagfix instructions.

Does this work? Anyone try?

works, nice write up too

awesome thanx for figuring it before i had to try a thousand combonations...

This is awesome!

How long should it stay at Samsung after doing all of the steps? I did all of the steps. Samsung flashed several times. Now its just staying at Samsung. Been this way for a couple of minutes.

sdcard issues
ok, first of all I did this and everything worked fine.
Upon first reboot, I think it went 4 or 5 times through the samsung bootloop and then loaded the rom (i wasn't watching it fastidiously).
Upon loading the rom and loading my apps from titanium backup, I finally hit the issue of not being able to move apps to the sd card; it just comes up with "failed to move application". I've rebooted just to make sure things weren't off from first boot. It's still not letting me move any apps to sd (even if allowed in the os).
Any ideas on what to try next?

I'm still at Samsung logo. Don't think its going to load the Rom. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Following the steps. This is the second time I've tried this.

NM, figured it all out.
Going to give it a shot shortly.

This failed to work 3 times. Going back to RFS Gummy.

did anyone else lose ROOT access after booting up?
I used Imnuts' EP1Q hacked kernel flashable via CWM.
I went to TB and it said I didn't have root access. Flashed superuser.zip and still no go.

From what I have read over at Rootzwiki, that seems to be a problem exclusive to Imnuts' hacked kernel (possibly, he posted that he is looking into it as some users used his kernel and didn't have this problem). This process uses another kernel.
I was waiting for more users to give reports back, but I might just give this one a go.

I tested his hacked kernel and yes we ran into this issue, however flashing superuser in CWM fixed it for me... doesn't seem to work for other people so idk

Hrmm. Well for the people it isn't working for, try following the guide here to at least get a good copy of EP1Q on there and working first. Then follow my process.
Sucks that the imnuts kernel isn't working right yet. I would love to have the EP1Q kernel working on this, would be much more ideal.
It breaks root for me too. Come one imnuts, i know you know what is causing it, you are a smart cookie. Put out an updated zip already lol...

I've downloaded the file twice, but I keep getting MD5 hash value invalid on the Odin step for the Nameless recovery. That's as far as I could get in the steps. I tried downloading it from multiple places but no dice.

I executed this method using Imnuts kernel and kept root (Thankfully). However I looked at the post to confirm EXT4, and my Terminal Emulator doesn't match the one posted at all. Right now, it's just showing data and dbdata on EXT4, the rest is still on RFS. Is this normal for GB? I can post the exact coding if needed.

Running Nexus
I'm currently running the nexus MOD but didn't download the modem. Everything works flawlessly. I'm new to all this though.

After you choose install from sd card there is an option to turn off signature validation, of course this means you need to have one of the touch clockwork mod recoveries installed. This has to be done via Odin initially before any ROM can be installed. I'm assuming you do considering you got to the flashing part.
The toggle is on the page that you pick internal or external sd card from.

[Q] Can't flash ROM - (bad) error

I have been trying and reading over the past 2 days and I can't get this figured out. I got a Skyrocket on Friday and have been trying to get it rooted and flash a new ROM on it. I finally got it rooted and for the life of me I cannot get a ROM flashed. Every time I try, this is what it reads:
"ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6
-- Installing: /sdcard/{ROM file name}.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/{ROM file name}.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted."
I have tried flashing 3 different ROMs. I have downloaded 1 of them 3 times and the other 2 twice. This seems like a very easy process and I haven't had this much trouble in the past, but for some reason this phone doesn't seem to like the ROM files.
Any suggestions?

Tried internal SD
I did try loading the ZIP off of the internal SD. The display shows:
"ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6
--Installing: /emmc/{ROM file name}.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installing CoZ ROM v3.1 (2.3.6) by Cozmo1...
Formatting system...
E:Error in /emmc/{ROM file name}.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted."
I thought maybe it had something to do with the way the SD card was formatted as I had previously used it in an Atrix, but getting a similar error using the internal SD then I'm not sure.

Try touch recovery?? Maybe?? Haven't actually had this problem..
Try different computer to download ROM. Also make sure its for the skyrocket. Other then that i'm clueless. May try to Odin ICS or stock ROM then flash clockworkmod touch recovery and try again? I can't stress enough to read the forums and find out how to do this before actually trying. especially how to return to stock from ICS including the radio.
May be damaged somehow. Or have something corrupted. Doing anything to it could brick it.

I don't recognize that ROM name from the skyrocket. Sounds like your trying to brick it using rom from a different phone.

I got to those ROMs from the Unlockr web site which linked back here to XDA. From this forum, I just tried MHX-Superlite and Embryo for the Skyrocket and still didn't have any luck. I may have been using an incorrect ROM before, but I was coming from the Unlockr web site for the Skyrocket.
How about pointing me to a ROM people know will work? I will try from a different computer here in a bit when I get one free.

Starting to work
I've started to get them to work now. They won't load from the external SD so I will have to reformat it. I'm sure that has to do with the Atrix it was in before.
I got them to look like they work from the internal SD, but I've run into some errors when they load. I think I can get it figured out from here.

For me different recoveries work well with different ROMs. I don't like 5.8.1.3 but it's the only one I can flash AOKP with so I'm stuck with it. Have you tried different recoveries yet?

I tried to use 5.8.1.3 tonight but couldn't get it to work. The spacing looked super weird compared to the 5.0.2 that I was using. I tried cycling through the options and the screen would flash and say something like the cache/recovery/log wasn't readable.
I've tried NUMEROUS ROMs and I can only get 1 of them to work....kind of. When loading this ROM, it seems like only part of it will load. The load screen is different, but everything else is still there. When I look up the build number, it shows I'm using MHX-Superlite but I'm not seeing any of the screens/icons like in the screenshots. I got it to load a different way once and it looked different (like the screen shots look). I tried to flash a different ROM and got the same boot cycle error.
I've gone back to the stock several times tonight. This is so frustrating!
