I896UXJL1 odin

Is there a ODIN file for the Rogers captivate froyo 2.2? Is it possible to flash roms without the ODIN file?

Do I just flash the JF6 Stock [email protected] Kernel anyways? I'm kind of stuck right now, this is my first attempt to flash and I've already hit a roadblock can anyone help please.

Read this thread.

I downloaded that file, but couldn't figure out what to do afterwards. I watched the mobile tech videos and it seemed that he was able to just click on the file and open the odin, while when I try to open it says "can't find application to open" after I extract it. Also I don't understand why I have to flash back to stock when I'm already at stock.

First download odin from this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Open it first and then point it to your rom image that you would like to use, you don't extract the file you have, it's ready to use as downloaded.
Please watch the videos again because you don't understand it yet and you're well on your way to a solid brick.
BTW using CWM with a .zip is easier then Odin IMHO, and can be done completely from your phone, no computer needed, it will also let you know if you have the three button recovery ( very important if something goes wrong ).
Read, read and read some more. Flashing a rom is not hard but it does have to be done correctly. If you want an almost guaranteed result you'll do the homework and learn something. I've only been here a while and rarely do I see a question that hasn't been answered 50 times already, your answers are here, go look for them and you'll pick up other things you will need to know when you decide to be a bit more adventurous with setting your phone up JUST like you want it.

Thanks for the information, it looks like I got lots of work to do.. The link you sent me has a broken Odin link on the other side, do you have a mirror or some sort so I can get the file? Also my final question is that since I have a Rogers Captivate I need to JL1 file not a J16 right? I've looked everywhere but couldn't find an answer to this... Thank you.

do you want to install a custom rom?? like phoenix or cog? if you are already rooted, just install clockwork mod and flash it to phone... then reboot into recovery and choose install zip from sd card... then select 'choose zip from sdcard'. then find the zip of the rom you want to install. I'm a rogers user and I've flashed all the latest roms (currently using andromeda 2.0). Never needed odin.

oh I see thanks, I've tried flashing Cognition via ROM manager with no success. I had Cognition on my SD card, installed and flashed the Clockwork mod and then selected "install ROM from SD card". From their it makes me select my ROM and then after I do it takes me to recovery mode. From here I select Reinstall packages and it says something like "Can't verify file" in red writing and aborts installation. I've always thought that maybe since I skip the whole "flashing ODIN" step that's why it's not working but obviously that's not the case. Do you know why it's not working for me? Thanks for the help.

are you running rogers 2.2 update? it has 3e recovery and will not allow zips to be flashed.
if that's the case, you will need odin3 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
then put a new kernel in the PDA section. I used the tar file listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870760
then with your phone powered off, sim card and memory cards out (put back cover on so the battery doesn't fall out) hold 2 volume buttons and plug in usb... should go to download mode. then hit start.
boot up will take a bit while voodoo formats ext4 on your files. after that, you can go into recovery mode and flash zips from sd card

Another thing for CWM, the zips must not be hiding in a folder somewhere put them in the root and do not rename them.

ps: would I have to to flash the stock Kernel/modem if I flashed back to stock?

when you flashed cog it would have put a new kernel on there. when you flash a different rom they come packaged with one the dev chooses. You can switch the kernel after with sgs kernel flasher or cwm

btw rnewton, how is andromeda 2.0?, would you recommend it?, I really don't see many differences with cog, maybe because I already had froyo(it is much faster though, great work dg), also whats your opinion on phenoix rising?, I just recently downloaded it Do you have any suggestions if I wanted a really fast rom? How many roms have you went through? Sorry for all the questions, I just dont understand all the technical information that comes with all the rom information, maybe I should make a whole different thread for this.

[Q] Please help. New to rooting and roms.

I have rooted my phone, and am trying to put miui on it. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G Rogers. I have looked for instructions on how to do the 3e recovery mod so I can put miui on my phone, but I can't get it to work. I am not even 100% sure I'm on the right track. All the instructions I find are confusing as they ask to put files on but don't have links to download the files, or they just assume I know how to do something, or know what they are referencing. I have rooted my phone, now I want to put miui on. I would be greatly appreciative if someone could give me a hand. Thank you.

It doesn't as the recovery file is in a different folder, and every time you replace with the modded file, after reboot, the old one is replaced back where it was. The AT&T method does not work for rogers. I understand that at least now haha.

MIUI is tricky. I think to get the latest galnet running, you have to mod and flash the older MIUI first. Jump thru a bunch of pull battery trick before boot up then flash the newer version.
there was some source code issue with xda and muiu link was removed. idk if it was reposted or not.
You may have better luck going back to the muiu dev thread.
otoh, if you wanted Zeus, Bionix, Numas, Victory, you can start with the above.
I don't think rogers or att makes a big different. Same hardware.
as for modded recovery, are you sure are using root explorer correctly?
The simpler method i had luck with is to use adam's heimall oneclick uckj4. then flash a second time with boot loader box checked if you don't already have BL.
then flash the defuse kernel in the second post to give you red recovery. then flash away with rom of choice
edit: if you are already rooted, couldn't you just DL sgskernel flasher from market, and flash gtg's kernel to give you red cwm/voodoo lag fix and then flash the rom of choice? - check out gtg's original post on the pin up.

I got it up and going again. I used GTG Unbrick guide.
I tried using Heimdall after that. It came back with an error on the kernel.
I almost hate android devices. There's such a learning curve for rooting/romming every device.

Looks like you're back to stock. I like heimdall but it looks like Odin is what you're comfortable with.
In this qa section, gtg has a thread up for infused v2 rom. You can start there. Go with cwm installation.
Just make sure you have the roms of your choice already downloaded. Instead of using the infused rom, just flash the one of your choice.

Remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache in the advance setting s of cwm

[Q] No recovery after OTA kj6 update....HELP!

I have rooted 2 different phones after the OTA KJ6 update. I rooted one phone with super one click 2.3.2 and the other using doomlord_v3_root and both phones sends the error:
Can't access
csc/ tmb....file? I tried flashing just the csc file using odin but it just soft bricked the phone. Can anyone help with this? I can't get either phone into recovery

I'm pretty certain that being rooted just gives you the ability to push the files needed for recovery to /system... Or, you could flash a kernel with cwm recovery
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

That "can't access CSC/TMB" error is normal, at least for me. As for getting into recovery, it's different once you flash the Gingerbread boot loaders.
Power off the phone. Hold the volume up & down buttons at the same time. While doing that, press and hold the power button. Once the "Galaxy S" screen shows up, wait a second or two and you'll notice that screen gets a tad bit brighter. When that happens release only the power button while continuing to hold the volume buttons. You should get the recovery screen after that.

I know how to do download mode and recovery, and all that guys. I'm not a noob, I have just never posted anything. But I get stuck because on Froyo (rooted) the 2nd option on the recovery screen it said "reinstall packages" and you choose that one...blah blah blah....well on Gingerbread recovery the 2nd option on the recovery screen is "apply update to sd card" and that option takes me to files, and I can't find an update.zip anywhere in recovery or on the sd card or on the phone. And I keep getting the following error:
--Applying Multi-CSC...
Istallng Multi-CSC
Can't access to /system/csc/TMB/system/
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
What am I doing wrong? I know it has got to be something simple (hopefully), it usually is anyway. I appreciate yalls time.

Have you tried using Odin to flash a modded kernel? It will give root and cwm recovery which hopefully you will be able to access.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I have actually, I flashed KJ1 + voodoo (Dr.honks kernel) and my phone doesn't act stable on it. I installed Busybox and everything but my phone does crazy stuff like shut off randomly and freeze up too frequently.

Is root your goal? Because your title states no recovery which is the reason you received the responses you did.

i can't get voodoo, or clockwork recovery. I can't flash anything, the recovery that is shown is the stock recovery. It's almost like I'm missing the update.zip or something. I posted what it was doing, is it not clear? I know it sounds crazy, I've actually never seen this before.

I'm going to attempt to clarify things here, so forgive me (and correct me) if any of this is wrong
- You updated 2 different SGS 4Gs to KJ6 (2.3.6) using Kies Mini
- Both phones are now rooted
- You tried using drhonk's KJ1 kernel on at least one them (which gives you root, CWM, and voodoo lagfix) but it was unstable
- You WANT to have CWM vs the stock recovery
What is the current state of either phone with regard to what ROM & kernel are on it?
If you're at stock 2.3.6 (KJ6 ROM) and you were having issues with drhonk's kernel, you can try one of bhundven's [Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]. The latter of which on that list will give you root, CWM, and voodoo lag fix.

No oops, you can flash it either way. I had just installed stock 2.3.6 and didn't have CWM, so I went the Heimdall route. I didn't try Beta 2d, I went straight to Beta 3. I dig it.

I think he recommends Beta2d because of a deepsleep issue draining battery for some people.

I get that same error about CSC. I think everyone does. Note that it says "Appling" not "Applying" LOL. Don't think that has anything to do with your problem.
Also what OTA 2.3.6 update? I thought we all had to use Kies Mini to put the stock update on? Or is that just a Tmobile USA thing.

Correct both are rooted...well correction I had to flash one back to stock because I messed it all up playing with Heimdall, so now only one has root. But yes, both are running KJ6 2.3.6 (only one is rooted with the "not working" recovery) neither one has voodoo as of right now. Both phones are giving the same error "cant access to /system/csc/tmb/system/" (even the one that is not rooted). Yes I want cwm or voodoo either one, but I've been experiencing the unstableness with voodoo. On the phone that is rooted...yes it goes into download mode and recovery, but recovery doesn't have an update.zip to flash, so therefore, I can't flash anything. I don't like using custom kernels (although I have found KG4 is probably the most stable), I just wish I could root my Gingerbread and actually be able to use recovery to flash, and fix permissions, and all that good stuff. I don't know what I did wrong. I'm not a noob, I just have never had to actually post anything on here. I find little things all time that ain't right, or just don't make sense about my phone. But I usually either fix it or live with it. But this one has got my brain boiling! I can't figure this one out. I know there are alot going on that doesn't make sense at all, I wish a magic fairy would come in and fix both phones like they just left the store so I can start all over and hopefully not run into this problem....anyone know of any fairys available?

Having CWM or the right recovery you refer to is a modded kernal. The stock kernal gives you the recovery you are seeing. The update.zip was on froyo. Now you just need to ODIN the modded kernal we keep telling you to do. That will give you CWM or the right recovery to flash away with. ODIN A MODDED KERNAL. Take your pick. I recommend bhundven as he is active developer and updating his work. They have worked great for me. No problems.

Caught in a loop - Guidance Please.

Good morning -
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm an existing user of the Galaxy Nexus and have been rooting / flashing it without any issue, but a little stumped on what went wrong with the captivate.
I picked up a brand new Captivate for my wife from Craigslist the other night for $60. I really nice phone...very nice screen.
I was successful in rooting it last night all though I did have to copy a recovery file into the system/bin. I believe that was because of a signature issue I was having and found some information on this site regarding the file.
Anyway, everything seem to have rooted fine and I copied CM9 to the proper location. Booted into ClockWorkMod and flashed the ROM.
However, it now boots to the AT&T screen, goes black, and then back to the AT&T screen. I can between ATT screens a script or something running.
I then used ODIN to get back to stock and appears it went through without any issues. However, it still gets in the same loop at the AT&T screen. I am still able to get into download mode. Perhaps I used the wrong ODIN.
Would someone have an idea of the next step? Do I need to get into some type of boot screen to do another master reset / format?
Thanks.

The first time when you were seeing the AT&T screen, a script screen, then rebooting, what was happening was that the phone needed to have the CM9 zip flashed again. The first time you flashed it, it essentially built the framework onto which the second flash would actually put CM9 in place.
As for where you are right now, you may want to flash back to a Gingerbread-based stock rom with bootloaders included (unless you're 100% certain it already has the Gingerbread bootloaders). There's a sticky in the development section that has all the stock roms.
Once you've flashed back to stock Gingerbread, try flashing the CM9 zip again. If it does the boot loop again, just hold Vol+/Vol-/Power until it reboots, and it should put you in ClockworkMod Recovery. At that point, just flash the CM9 zip again and you should be good to go.
One word of warning, as you're new to the Captivate. ICS-based roms, on some occasions, have a bug that can cripple the internal SD card of the Captivate. I'd suggest you look for the "Encryption Unsuccessful" thread in the Development section and read up a little bit so you are aware what that is.

Thank you for the assistance.
Is this where I should start for the ODIN?

In particular, 'I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe'
Thanks.

That looks correct to me. I'm assuming you'll need the bootloaders package, as you had mentioned you were dealing with the 3e signature error (which, if I recall correctly, is associated with stock Froyo roms).

Okay. Maybe next time I should just stick with a non-ICS ROM. Just need to find one in the development section.
Thanks a bunch! A great little phone and the screen is just outstanding.

Okay....back up and running using "In particular, 'I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe" from the above link.
However, now I can't get the one click root to work.

There's an easier way. Go to the Corn Kernel, grab a CWM-based zip file and flash it from within CWM recovery. That will give you the Corn Kernel, which will (I believe) give you root access.
Double check, though, that you can get to CWM recovery by using the V+/V-/Power key combo. It should have about 9 options (instead of the 4 in standard recovery).
If you don't have CWM recovery from the flash you just did, you'll just need to grab another one-click that has CWM baked in. There's one that says "Without Bootloaders - Link to thread - by 4-2ndtwin [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]". That flashes KH3, no bootloaders, but with the CWM-friendly kernel.

Another thing about cm7 or cm9 is you have to remove the external sdcard (storage) before you flash.

I have tried a couple times last night with AOSP or AOKP and get into the same situation as you. However, I'm a rookie at the Captivate. I was able to flash a GB Custom ROM without issue.
More weekend research. I really want to try one of those other ROMS.

What he said. crt60 is a developer on it too.

Messed up my Infuse

Just like the title says, I messed my Infuse up.:crying:
After a ROM load gone horribly bad (going from Emancipation to RemICS) I was finally able to recover using "Return_To_Stock_UXKG3-One-Click.jar". Once I did this tried to install Root Explorer, Titanium BU, and Clockwork ROM Manager. They all Force Close.
I am trying to find a way to install red CWM so that I can load another ROM given the current condition of this Infuse, it is not possible. Without wanting to risk messing this device further I was wondering if someone could recommend my next steps to achieve this.
Please let me know if anyone can help.
Thanks in advance

I am thinking you have FC was your not rooted?
look in my links for Infuse links...the ISET page...

Sounds like when you returned to stock, you lost root, which also meant you lost cwm recovery. Using Odin or Heimdall, you can load a custom kernal which can give you root again and should allow you to use your root apps again. You can then load cwm recovery giving you the option to load a custom from. Btw. I loaded RemICS on my infuse and it locked up on the boot up screen the first time. I had to reboot to recovery, clear the cache and dalvik cache again and reload the rom one more time before it booted up correctly.

Thanks bigjoe but it is rooted. I double checked after I read your post to be sure. Still getting the FC's.
I'll keep trying here.

You could use this to flash a custom kernel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. It was a bit of a process of using Odin and Heimdall but I managed to recover the device finally. Got Legends 3 running now and will run with that before I try another ICS build, maybe sooner than later depending when my ADD kicks in and I get bored of my phone.
