I'm having the same problem. Haven't found a solution as yet.
Im gonna flash it back to stock with the .Sbf with Rsd to see if that fixes it. I will let you know. Some how my vibration keeps going of and on I think its a hardware issue because when I bump my phone it comes back on. So im doing a warranty exchange. I told the AT&T representative that my bootloader was unlocked she said it wouldn't mater lol I hope not.

I was running the previous version of Gobstopper. I flashed the new version and Firefox still wasn't working. I then flashed the deodexed app and framework and did a factory reset. Now mine seems to be working well.

Flashing the 2.3 .sbf using Rds works but you will have to Root and kinda unlock again. Well it worked for me.

Hey everyone
I have been tiring to look up how to root my Samsung SGH-I896 that is on Rogers in Canada but have haven't been able to find and think that matches my phone info. I will list my firmware and other info if some can point me in the right way that would be nice.
Model = SGH-I896
Frimware = 2.3.3
Kernel version = 2..35.7-i896uxkh2-cl296008
Build number = GINGERBREAD.UXKH2
Thanks
I have the same phone and believe me it's not as easy as it is for the us users. Rogers actually takes code off the phone so that it's harder to root or unlock. I had to factory reset and use an at&t software instead of Rogers. After that everything was easy. Use one click root or anything like it

I dont recall having any issues with rooting my phone back in the day. I recall being able to use superoneclick to get the job done on stock gingerbread.
Although if you are planning on installing a rom on your phone then root isnt required. Just flash CWM and then flash a rom. The roms come with root already installed on it.
I have tried super oneclick and it hang up at step 7 but maybe iam doing something wrong. I will try again later tonight. Thanks alot guys

Download the latest SuperOneClick Root. http://www.multiupload.nl/VGCN3ZTFM8
It should work with your captivate. I used it to root mine and I did it on GB too.
Thanks guy i just got home and tried the latest version and it worked. Only thing is that when it roots it then my menus, and when i go to call some on run every slow. I un rooted it and it put everything back to normal. And ideas?

I used heimdal method front this post, was so easy I was kicking myself for not doing it earlier. I was 2.3.3 on robbers too.
PS I highly recommend cm10, i never imagined my i896 could run this fast.
I am trying to put cwm10 on it now but iam getting confused. What yo flash to it. look like everything is for i897 or has a different modem number so i don't know if i can flash it to my phone? At this point i was hoping that some that has a i896 phone on roger would post a link to the post that they used for there phone. But i may just have to try one i finded and.hope for the best.

i896 and i897 are almost identical with minor differences. You can use i897 roms on the i896 without any issue.

I have the rogers version, I've unlocked it to use Koodo as a provider and have also installed CM10 (runs beautifully!). They are the same phone, ours just does not say at&t at the top of it (Samsung instead). I never bothered with rooting, which was a waste of time anyhow... move on from Gingerbread and you wont look back, I swear!

So I'm a total newbie here... so I don't have to root to get ICS or JB on my Captivate with Rogers? How exactly? I looked at the Heimdall method, but I still don't really understand.

See TRusselo's Guide. It is up to date.

I used Superoneclick with both Froyo and Gingerbread stock Rogers versions and it rooted just fine. Just need to follow the instructions.
I think for Froyo you had to do some really stupid stuff, like plug it in and take it back out 2-3 times but other than that it always worked great.
Worked so well I even made a donation to the developer.
If it hangs on you, I would suggest reading the thread to see if somebody developed a method that works. My Froyo image wouldn't root so I read the Rogers captivate thread and somebody posted telling me how to unplug and plug it back in, worked well.
I think I might have screwed up... I installed the unzipped ROM onto my external SD rather than the zipped one... what do I do now???
Can you get into recovery?

I am on the "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK" page. I'm wondering if there's any way I can copy the zip files to my external SD from here?
In that recovery go to mounts and storage. Then select mount usb. Then u can copy from ur pc to ur phone.

Sprint's been doing something to the tower closest to my house and I've been permaroamig at my house going on 3 weeks now. Sprint told me it might be a while before they fix the problem. I've been missing calls and they only go through when I force my phone to roam. It sucks because it only happens at my house. lol its happening to my dad's completelt stock shift too so I know its not an issue with my phone. Both of our phones work fine as soon as we switch towers.

Before updating your radios do this:
1) Update profile, reboot phone.
2) Update PRL, reboot phone.
3) If you are not using cellular radio 1.08.01.0111 here is the link:

If your talking about the ones on THIS thread. There is a video in the OP on how to. But if you don't have time, or don't want watch ( although I would suggest you do ) , there are written instructions in the OP. It's always a good idea to read the OP a least once, just in case.

Okay, I read on here every day on my cell and can't find the answer to my question. I, like alot of people have a stock, rooted, unlocked phone and want to update to the latest OTA. I would like to, if possible, do this without Odin.
I was wondering if they're was a file like Scott's stock Rom that could be dirty flashed over stock without any problems? If there is no other way, I plan on using Odin to get back to stock after I relock the bootloader, take the update, and then reroot, unlock, etc.
The big reason that I would rather do it without the computer is that I am on the road 90% of the time and don't have access to a computer. I depend on my phone for GPS as well as entertainment, so being without my phone isn't an option for me. Are there any options?

I am the same way and would like to do it without going completely back to locked/un-rooted/stock. I was able to find a ROM that Scott just updated with the new VRALG7 from verizon here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892670
This will apparently update your phone to the new baseband and leave you stock/rooted.
Hope this helps!
Yeah I read that, but there are some bugs. I wonder if anyone has tried a dirty flash?

Did you just wipe cache and dalvik cache or do a full wipe?
What I ended up doing was a full wipe and flashed CleanROM 2.5, which is based on the new VRLG7 updates. Then I flashed the new VRLG7 radio form here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/

You just want to make sure you don't accidentally lock your bootloader and reboot since you will get the Verizon unauthorized software message which is also fixable but..

Okay, I purchased mobile Odin pro, what is the way that I need to do it? I have not seen a guide for that application. Also, will I lose everything on the phone and have to restore everything if I do it this way?
EDIT: I think I can probably wing mobile Odin, I can't find the new image file to flash. Does anyone know where to find it? I looked on Samsung updates . Com and couldn't find it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Can I ask why you guys want the update anyway? I'm also on stock/rooted/unlocked and all I did was freeze the apps called 'sdm' and 'fwupgrade' and there's no chance for it to update to the OTA. I hear all it has is dumbed down search and a Verizon remote-help sort of thing.
It blocks a security issue and is different framework from what I understand. I would lock the bootloader, unroot, OTA, and then redo everything but will not be around a computer until tomorrow at the best.

After reading the posts on Scott's CleanROM 2.5, that's what I am going to do this weekend. I will feel a lot better knowing I received the most up-to-date software from Samsung as the framework and then customize my phone the way I want. Plus, that's what a lot of the more experienced posters have been recommending, and for a noob like me, it would be dumb for me to not take their advice.
Thanks for getting back to me about the cache wiping question!
No worries, good luck!

Hi, I hate to say this but PLEASE HELP ... lol... been saving that one for a while.
I have a S2 Skyrocket LTE the Canadian rogers version, I have been running great on JB CM10 for months now, and all of a sudden once in a while, or often I should say the phone says "NO SIM CARD" so if i restart a few times, battery pull, it will most times come back and I can use my phone fine for a bit.. than boom.. it does it again..
I noticed in the about section it says Baseband UNKNOW so i did a hour of research and can't find a solution, I am confused why this could happen.. if anyone could help me out i would love you.
Flash the radio again. Try one of the newer ones.

So this "radio" you link to, is it giong to work for Rogers in Canada still and allow my phone to be used internationaly with other sims still ?
I know i have a "custom recovery" as I remember something about that, I don't know what it is, i know how to boot up in recovery mode.. I think that is what you mean, and then i just find the file you point to and instal it that way ?
Will this change only the radio and not all my data and system changed on the phone ?
