It's been a very long time since I've done all this new phone altering since my OG Droid over a year ago so I dont' remember if I was supposed to do something else? I can't seem to find 1 straight to the point guide anywhere.

you can just download Root Explorer and remove the extra bloat yourself from /system/app and /data/data.. Super Manager works well too if you want a free alternative
btw that rom EP1F is a bit dated (in order from oldest to current: EP1F->EP1H->EP1W->EP1Q->EP3H) but if you like it by all means you don't have to change or update.. if you want though the newer ones are in Development or the kernels/roms/mods sticky in general, and flash the same way as the one you just did

Ran into a bit of a problem. Apparently the USB cable that came with my phone is the only one that works with data transfer for hooking up to tmy computer, none of my other USB cables will enable the mass storage or whatever to my computer.
That cable is at my parents house that I was at over the weekend and I won't be back there for a week....is there another route around this?

what are you trying to do exactly? you can always download the files straight to your phone and flash in CWM, no Odin though without a computer... my Charge connects with a lot of different cables though, I don't know why yours would only work with the stock one
well that's lame, I'm trying the one that came with my moto droid. It connects to charge but nothing mounts in windows but as soon as I use my samsung cable I get it

Well, I could try CWM, how exactly do I get to it from boot. Issue I think I'm having now with it is if I reboot to it in rom manage I come up to a screen with the android standing next to a triangle sign with an exclamation point then I think it either shuts off or I had to shut it off, I don't remember.

Rom Manager doesn't work well with the Charge.. the only sure fire way to get it to work is flash CWM in Odin, battery pull to turn it off then hold volume up, home, and power until Samsung appears then let go of power button until CWM comes up

Well I got the new rom on there. OMFG I went from like 950 in quadrant all the way up to 1440+ :| all the games I was playing that were choppy all play smooth as freshly shaved balls now lol.
I still can't use any other usb cable though. I even tried my friends HTC droid incredible 2 cable and it didn't work.
Does Samsung have a history of making their usb cables proprietary or anything?

No it appears to be hit or miss for some people. I have used many different cables from blackberry, kindle, and other random stuff and not had one not work yet.

Yessss another dead captivate thread.
I think I'm gonna go die now.
I followed the video guide to install a custom ROM, in the development thread to the letter, and now my phone wont even turn on... (now that im thinking about it, I think I may have left the debugging mode OFF before I went to flash back to stock, maybe thats why?)
I got into download mode, plugged the phone into odin3 JF6 one click, it started and at some point during the process it said "removed" even though I didnt touch anything, and then i got a weird msg saying my device is not recognized, keep in mind the drivers were installed properly, and I had everything double checked before i flashed....
wtf do I do now? Cant boot at all or go back into download mode. this is my third galaxy, got it two days ago ffs.
My only 2 suggestions. Go to the Dev section and in the guides there is a method to make a USB Jig without solder or anything. You're out like $1 if it doesn't work.
Also, what rev is your phone? There's been some threads started saying the newer Rev phones, maybe 1010 and up crap out using normal One-click. Do check your rev level under the battery and do a search of the forums. I know I have seen the threads.
good luck.
1 reboot pc
2 use different usb ports (direct to motherboard)

Open Odin first then,
1. Remove your battery for 30 seconds, remove external SD card and SIM card
2. Reinsert battery.
3. Hold down both volume buttons and while holding them down plug the phone in.
It should get into download mode then. I bricked my phone and it wouldn't boot up at all and this worked for me.
On a side note, I have not had much luck flashing or doing much of anything on Windows 7 64 bit. I would suggest trying it on an XP machine if you have access to one.

I've tried every possible key combination out there and nothing works. I think my best bet is a Jig, unfortunately the source didnt have any transistors in stock so im SOL for now.
Use JIG ... It will be your last help.
Use it as a paper weight.
If you look up samsung captivate jig on ebay you will find some pre built. I bought one not long ago just to have and it works just fine.
I hope this helps. Best of luck to you.

Sounds like you are a victim of the one size odin fits all debacle. You will indeed need a jig to recover and then you must use odin to flash jh2 or later firmware to your phone. Unfortunately, most guides still direct people to flash jf6 even though your situation comes up on a regular basis.
Check out this link for a jig. And there is a video to show you how to build one. Or mobiletechvideo guy sells them for 17 bucks.

It seems to me like there's consistent irregularities with the entire process, its not uniform at all, which is very frustrating, every one faces different problems, and the solution is never the same.
Anyways, I went out and bought 3 resistors, turns out they were the wrong ones, I found out the colors werent the same of what I needed, but then that just goes to show you how difficult it is, its partly my fault i got the wrong ones, but someone like me who doesnt know much about hardware hacking, walks into an electronic store, faced with several options, is some times lost.
Oh well, I could've fixed it, had I got the right resistors, but then again, who was going to guarantee I wasn't going to kill it again, for the exact same reason I mentioned in the first post, because I need to consider a few things here, first and foremost, that I have a rogers branded device, and these are the ATT forums.
I called rogers and a replacement has been placed, I should be getting it by friday, or tomorrow if im lucky, with whatever comfort that brings, I still have several concerns, and now that I've basically rendered 3 devices to "almost" none-working condition (this one being an exception because I can "possibly" fix it) I'm not even sure how far I want to go.

My first captivate went fubar within my 30 days and I damaged the nv_data.bin on my second captivate and was stuck with the test IMEI. Samsung fixed my second one for free. Now I'm at the point where I'm totally sure about what precautions I need to take to keep me out of trouble but I'm not sure if I want to risk it again, heh.
The cheap jig does work. It helped me when I accidentally unplugged my phone during an odin flash.
Yes, you make a good point. You will find that most of the guides are written by people like myself who have an early revision or a phone from the initial release. For most of us, from what I've read and experienced, our phones are really hard to brick, ie, button recovery always works, odin one-click works, etc.
I honestly don't know all the differences now between revs. The first hiccup was the phones missing button recovery/download, and now it seems that people are having issues using the Odin One-click that we have been using for months.
I would recommend with your next phone check the rev or manufacture date, then search the forums for people with similar or same revs that have been successful at flashing and find out what they did.
good luck
@bobby
I wasnt trying to diminish the help that the guides provide. The work that went into creating them is certainly appreciated. The problem arises when so many people just tell newcomers to flash with x version of odin without considering the changes that have occured in the newer builds.

I agree with you completely. I tend to take it for granted that button recovery works for me and that good old odin one-click does too. It seems we need to start collecting data and making new guides.
Something like,
If you have rev, 1006, 1007,1008 go here,
If you have rev 1009 to 1012 go here,
etc.
latest update,
Two cables, and six resistors later, my phone won't go into download mode, lol, I'm not even sure I did things right, I'm gonna try stripping the same cable, used in one of those videos on how to make a jig, I still have three extra resistors.
I'm starting to think its because of it being with rogers. im gonna search the forums.
A micro usb breakout board is the simplest method for constructing a jig.
Wow, I guess I'm lucky that the used Captivate I picked up for my gf is an older one at 1007. Root procedure for her went without a hitch.
From stock rom, all set up and in daily use, WITHOUT ROOTING first.
Put clockwork update.zip on her sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Reinstall packages twice to get into clockwork recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Flash Cognition.
Profit.
She's been using it this way for two weeks and loves it so much more than stock.
What was so complicated about the procedure you followed? Or was it the same as this but it just didn't work?

I think you may have a good point. Eventually your carrier will stop replacing bricks for you. If you still have the inclination to play with flashing, investing in a jig would definately be a wise investment and if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't flash anything without one. I made a jig for myself before I ever flashed anything but luckily I have never had to use it, probably because I took the time (about a month and a half of trolling around here reading.) to research what all was involved with what I was about to jump into. Just something to consider in case you want to try again. Good luck!
Hey folks. I`m new to Android, but I am well versed in how to manipulate Linux systems and I've got a new SGH-i896 that Ive been itching to tear apart.
I've never touched a phone in regards to hacking, and I know there's a lot of system stuff that can be screwed up while tweaking. What I'd like to do is explore these custom ROMs and see which is best for my specific phone.
If anyone could talk me through a good first option for trying out, it would be great. I see so many options, but I'm not seeing a popular choice, or a safe "for-dummies" ROM. Thanks for any help.

Welcome!
Now first you must get your tools (Android SDK, Odin3) and study them a bit before flashing anything. Nothing is safe but if it's done properly your chance of bricking your phone are close to none.
Look in the Dev and Q&A for sticky post regarding flashing roms and how to start.
I would recommend you stay away from Gingerbread roms (2.3) for the moment. It requires to flash a new bootloader and you need a good understanding of how to flash and how to use Odin3 options before you venture there.
For your first flash i would recommend flashing Firefly rom but your free to select the one you prefer. Always read the first post of the rom to learn what it offers and don't.
Happy flashing

What he said^^^
I would start out reading a lot. Start here and here. Use this program to get started. This will allow you to flash FROYO. You can now flash FROYO custom ROMs.To flash Gingerbread go here read post 1 to get directions after flashing Stock FROYO. Once you have the GB bootloaders installed you should be able to flash custom GB ROMs. I stress read a lot before flashing. You can brick your phone easily if you don't. Good luck and welcome to the world of ROM flashing!

Hey folks. I went over the reading material that was provided and I went ahead with this guide

I got through to the point where I had to use Odin. When I clicked start on Odin, it ran through the predicted cycles and claimed to be successful. My device won't mount now though. I can't see it in my computer anywhere, and I'm not sure how to continue.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
You were on stock 2.1 or 2.2 ?
What rom did you flash ?
What files did you put in Odin and with what boxes checked ?
Is the phone booting normally ?
What part does not mount ? (It's not detected by windows but charges when you plug in the usb cable ?)
Settings>applications>usb settings. Make sure thats set to mass storage.
stock has that checked to kies by default.
Let me clarify:
My phone is currently only sitting at the battery screen, with an empty battery image and a spinner.
I can bring up an AT&T splash screen that says "World Phone" below it if I follow the instructions to recovery mode, but it still does nothing.
I'm afraid I've bricked the phone, and I'm missing some clue as to why.
if something comes up on the screen it is not bricked.....i hate that word
you are not bricked. any sign of life at all means not bricked.
what odin did you use? im guessing odin one click, which means you have a newer build phone and it bootloops when odin one click is used.
get into download at this point you may need a jig, once in download mode use this package and you will be ok (you are canadian right?)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133

I'm wondering if there's a way to do this without a jig. I don't really want to get that involved if I don't have to.
If I do have to, I will, but let's try to keep this in the software department if we can.
Thanks to everyone who's been helping out here.
Lol I was only joking
no harm done
there are a couple button combos to try if those don't work a jig is needed, but it's a very cheap and easy process to make one not "involved" at all or under 10 us dollars if you were to buy one.
Alright button combos to try:
Both volumes held plug in usb cable.
Cable in, pull the battery, hold the volume buttons while reinserting the battery.

Okay, I tried all the button combos, and it did nothing different.
I've only got the one micro usb right now. I guess that means I've got to go out and get another, along with some resistors?
This sucks. I guess I should have remained happy with the Android Rogers gave me.
If you insulate the resistors well enough you don't need to chop up the cable... You can touch the leads of the resistor loop thing you made directly to pins 4 and 5 on the phones usb port. Granted that way takes ALOT more fiddling with to work, but you don't have to hack a cable.

So if I get the proper resistors, protect my thumb and finger, and apply them carefully to pins four and five on the phone's connection, it works the same way?
So i have been having a battery issue where my phone reads 20% and than dies. It will last the whole day but will die before i know its going to. To try and fix this problem i thought it might be kernel related, Im on a JB rom and was flashing Franco kernel from his app. I finished dwl and i was prompted with the "YES lets do this" to reboot the phone. Once i hit it my phone shut off. I'm like 90% sure it was due to my battery actually being dead. I've had it plugged in for 20 mins with no luck of anything happening when i hit power on or try getting into recovery. At one point it viberated and showed that I have zero battery but that was it. I can't get the thing to do anything. I also only have a MAC computer. PLEASE HELP! I've rooted and flashed a hundred phones and never ran into my phone not powering up at all. Did i brick it?
Anyone that could help please!
I can't think of anything short of getting another battery to see if thats the issue or finding a way to get some juice into the one you have. There was a trick somewhere in the rezound forum to get some charge to dead batteries that wouldn't charge due to an issue with clockwork mod. You should search for those threads and see if it helps.

Just went in no go. I did indeed BRICK my phone from running a verizon gs3 with franco milestone 5. Everyone beware! Although it was my fault, If people have ran with kernel on the regular these past couple years, It was instinct. Verizon said i'd have to send my phone in and get a new one in two days

Lol Did they give you a temp phone?
Just to throw it out there have you tried getting into download mode? I had a similar problem with my razr where the battery died while flashing and it was bricked. I had to make a factory cable (allows you to flash in download mode without battery power). With this phone though I've noticed that if you leave the cable in and pull the battery while in download mode it will stay on which seems like it's doing what my factory cable did. It's volume down/power/home to get in to download see if you can do this with the phone plugged in.
EDIT: maybe I misread but if the firmware didn't install properly you can be missing even the software required to charge the battery. This means you can't charge up the phone until you flash some firmware in Odin via download mode, which you may be able to do with only the cable attached (direct power to the phone in dl mode and bypassing the dead batter).

Fight them, if you had unlimited data they can't take your plan away. Fight the living hell out of them. You will win.
I have an ATT HTC X one I had been running a clean ROM. I searched for a Jelly Bean ROM I thought I correctly identified my phone but...
After installing slim rom I get nothing on power on. And I get nothing with the charger plugged in.
Sucks these devices have such similar names. I suppose things went so well last time I was somewhat more casual.
I am leaving it plugged in over night.
Currently on Linux but do have the Windows 7 boot disk I used to do the rooting.
Can someone point me to a description of possible solutions?
Clearly the take it back to ATT and say it just stopped working one is on the list.
I have seen the attempt to boot and power cycle while watching for auto detect devices. I certainly can put a mini linux on a thumb drive.
I suppose the goal is to somehow write something that can boot strap me back?
I am a Linux savvy person so I can use dd if needed. Just need someone to contact me to point me in the right direction.

Still happening...crazy...{banging head}
No one reads all the warnings we put up. Why do we bother?

You bricked, and now you're mad. I don't get it? If we put up giant flashing red warning all over this site, it still wouldn't do any good...
Before I get flamed and what not over calling you mad, take a look at the post in the unbrick evita thread.

Unfortunately I've just done the same thing.. Got casual as this fellow previously stated.
So, not sure what to do with it now, any pointers?

I'm not sure, but probably. My friend had told me about this Ice Cold Jelly or something that I should get. For some reason I didn't even check that it was international. Though I was wondering more along the lines of warranty, could I possibly take it to an AT&T store and get a replacement?
Searched some forms relating to this and really wish I came here before making the attempt based off of all the warnings. Good excuses I can come up with.

None. Honesty is what we promote on this site. Not lying because you were to lazy to read.

ok long story short, it's been a while since I've sell my a2 to a friend of mine (she doesn't know a thing about android) she messed up real bad with the system folder, so she asked me for help, I've tried to rsd flash to stock jb leak #3, only to find out that battery was at 15 percent or so (her words) now I'm unable to charge it through wall charger, and unable off course to rsd flash it, here's my question, does "macgiver" way to charge it (peel an usb cable and put red wire to + and black wire to - on battery directly) would work, any suggestions for time to be connected to achieve 70 percent or so would be appreciated, haven't tried it yet since I'm at work and want to know for sure so i can wrap this thing up quicly as she really needs her phone back
thanks in advance

Yes, the Mac Guyver method works. What I do is hook it up via Mac Guyver method then boot into fastboot and flash it while it's still charging. By the time the FXZ is done the battery will usually have about 60-70% charge.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
ok , got it flashed , now im unable to root jb leak #3 used one click method but returned some process not running ive attached a screenshot , do i need to install sdk ?

Unfortunately, I can't help with that one. I have the AT&T model so I know next to nothing about those leaks.
