Ok, so i have had a samsung captivate since last summer. I just did the official froyo update the other day and it was successful with kies mini. I then decided to root it using super1click which also worked successfully. I have superuser, titanium backup with busybox installed, and super manager and terminal emulator. I also successfully got clockworkmod flashed and working.
My problem is that ive got the new cognition rom on my internal sd card, but when i try to flash it with cwm, i get the 3e recovery failure message. Ive been reading various sites today on how to fix this problem, but every site seems to tell me something different. I ask this question here, because it seems to be the most knowledgeable site to go to.
How do i get my rooted captivate, with all the above installed and running, to allow me to flash a new rom and possible a new kernal down the road? Im about to go insane trying to decipher through all the info all the different sites have said. Sorry to write such a novel on a tired subject, but im going crazy. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

If you would have done a search here then you would have found that you need to do one of 2 things.
1. Flash back to 2.1
2. Replace the 3e recovery with one that doesnt check for the sig.
I dont know how to replace the 3e recovery. I think ill go with flashing back to 2.1. Once i dl Odin and flash back to 2.1, then i can flash a new rom or a new kernel? Will it undo everything i've done so far? Thanks for the help.

Here is a link to the replacement recovery.
Make sure you have the right odin and that your 3 button works right.
Yesh doing this will wipe out everything. Make sure to back up. Do not back up system data at all as when you restore it, it can lead to major issues. Once done with a custom rom it will be wiped clean. You will have to redo contacts, email, and all other settings
Thanks. Would it be okay to just flash a new kernel like speedmod kernal and just use the stock rom? Is that possible to do while im on rooted 2.2? I like the rom just fine, i just want it faster mainly. Thanks again.

To be honest I am not sure. I only had the stock on for a few hours as it was just not that great compared to the 2.2.1 rom that I have been used to running. I need BT voice dial and the added exchange options so 2.2 was not really for me. If you want a stock feel but faster then I would go with COG or one of the other roms based on the kb1 rom.
So I've come to the conclusion that I should just flash back to 2.1 and go from there. I have odin downloaded, but I'm not certain how to use it. Do you guys think I should flash a custom rom from stock, or just flash a kernel with lag fix and delete the bloatware? Thanks.
first flash 2.1 stock to get rid of the damn 3e. custom roms dont replace that always. also most custom roms dont flash with odin.
get a stock rom. read the instructions, flash

If you are getting .zip signature errors when trying to flash a rom (because you are using 3e recovery) you will not be able to flash a kernel.
Supercurio did make a KB1 kernel that is installable via Odin. If you install that, you will also get CWM recovery. Then you can flash anything you want.
Either way you will need an Odin program. Either Odin One Click to flash back to stock 2.1 or Odin v1.7 to flash the Supercurio KB1 Kernel .tar file.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I think the speedmod kernal is i9000 based which would cause a major headache/bootloop on the stock rom.

The problem is, the OP has no idea what he's doing. It sounds like he's wanting to flash to 2.1, then add a I9000 kernel. Since he's all over the place, it's hard to decipher what he's thinking.
To the OP. I'd HIGHLY suggest you look for the stickied "how to" video's by Connexxion. They will tell you what you need to do and show you EXACTLY how to do it. Invaluable info for the noobs.
Here is the link your looking for, download the installer zip file at the bottom of the first post. Extract to your fancy, use the install.bat file once extracted. Be sure to have the phone connect to the pc (DO NOT MOUNT) and have USB Debugging on.

I am wanting to flash back to 2.1 and go from there. I have the drivers installed and I have odin downloaded. I tried it last night, but I couldn't get it to work. I got it to download mode, but still nothing. What could the problem be? Thanks.
I tried odin one click again today, but still nothing. All i want to do is flash back to 2.1, root, then flash a rom or custom kernel. Im losing my mind, any more help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ok no need to flash 2.1
get neldars kernel flashing app from the market
get a kernel for froyo without 3e recovery in the dev section. this one is great
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=547852&d=1300708475
use neldars app (edit) "sgs kernel flasher" or something to that effect. to flash this kernel
then flash cognition
you can also use odin3 but not the oneclick downloader without the .pit file and flash the same kernel placed in the pda slot.
when you installed keis mini, it installed new WRONG drivers (for odin)
reinstall the original other drivers.
BUT. in your OP all you wanted was to be able to flash COG or something.
ALL you have to do is fix your 3e recovery, SEVERAL people including myself have told you how to fix it. then CWM will work! you dont need a computer to fix 3e if you have root explorer (google it $) .
if you are going to flash a custom rom anyway dont bother going back to 2.1.
if you are going to stay stock, 2.2 is better anyway. (aside from 3e but staying stock dont matter)
you can also use odin3 but not the oneclick downloader without the .pit file and the same kernel placed in the pda slot.

@ dani - dude read the thread. odin doesn't recognize his phone.!! try to catch up before butting in...
well that doesn't make my whole post irrelivent. if he is rooted and has busy box he can use neldars kernel flasher. sorry if i over looked something.
Ok, well i got the aio toolbox, and i flashed back to stock. Now im running 2.1-update1. How do i go about rooting now? I cant seem to find a root file. Thanks.
I just finished putting on Clockwork recovery after the OTA and then flashed Imosyen's 4.0 kernel. During the process I heard the Voodoo stuff take place, but upong rebooting my phone I don't have root. I read in these boards on the EE4 OTA that this should have worked, any ideas and has anyone got thier phone rooted on the new OTA?
Thanks.

Try getting back into CW recovery and let me know how that goes. If so then just download superuser and you got it.
No root
I can boot into CWR after using ODIN to put it on once and under voodoo controls app it shows my phone as being voodoo on all partitions, just don't have root. I knew the OTA would kill root, was just hoping thier was a quick fix out there like just flashing a kernel. The phone is pretty snappy though with imoysens kernel running voodoo and using ADW as the launcher. Like what I see so far.

Someone didn't read the instructions for properly installing the leaked OTA?
BEFORE YOU ODIN BACK TO EE4, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SU FLASHABLE ZIP, THE OTA UPDATE AND IMOSEYON'S KERNEL ON YOUR SDCARD!
Make sure the update file is renamed to "update" and that it's on the root of your sdcard. (not in any folders or anything)
Odin back to EE4. Reboot normally.
Turn the phone off, then reboot into Stock Recovery and run the update.
Once the update finishes and the phone boots regularly. Reboot into Download Mode and plug the phone into the computer.
Start Odin, Uncheck "Auto Reboot", select PDA, NOT PHONE!
Click on the PDA tab and find your recovery file then click "start."
Once it is done and you see the word "PASS" on Odin, unplug the usb cable and press down all three buttons to boot into recovery (volume up, home, power)
Once in recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, mount /system and flash the SU flashable zip.
Go back and wipe cache and dalvik again, mount /system again and flash the kernel.
After that, your recovery will stick and you're good to go. You are now rooted and running on EP4D.
Here is the flashable Super User zip. http://www.multiupload.com/V6R1RZJPXV

Did you install superuser? I bet you are rooted, but you don't have the tools installed to use it.

You're very welcome for the instructions! Yes the Spc in my name is my rank and thank you for your support!
most if not all root issues can be fixed by simply flashing superuser in CWM (you can get the latest .zip from the dev ChainsDD's superuser site), then downloading/updating it in the market if it doesn't show up
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
If interested, the CWM version found here is already rooted.
Have a rogers S2LTE, running ICS 4.04.
I ran Odin and used cwm recovery, and used what I found to be the most recent TAR file for the i727r.
during the download procedure to put superuzer on the phone, I had one error aborted installation, but success the second time.
Everything seemed normal, albeit aside from a slightly slower speed in the operation of the phone.
The only reason I noticed something was wrong was the fact that superuzer didnt really do anything, I couldnt add any apps or get past the initial screen.
Also, titanium back up didnt work, stating it couldn't get root permissions.
At this point, I installed root checker and got a negative response on my phone being rooted.
I'm posting here as I'm not sure how to progress, and as the phone is running normally, and im not sure if any real damage is done.
Do I simply try to flash the phone with Odin once more? Or do I flash it back to stock, and factory reset, and then try to root again?
Thanks in advance.

download procedure?
just put superuser on sd and install from cwm.
no root access means no su binary's installed. su binary's will not install from the superuser in the market that's just a front end.
wouldn't you also require busy box and then fix permissions using rom manager?

no. busy box has nothing to do with su. and rom manager sucks and you will have nothing but trouble if you use it. just download odin and cwm and superuser thats all you need to root that expensive phone.
Try the super user file located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565126
I had a similar issue as you and the su in the link worked fine. If it fails keep trying, took me like 3 tries.

I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
but used the newest tar file provided on one of the rogers ics rooting threads.
As nothing is visibly wrong at this point, could I simply retry to root? Or should I wipe everything first?
So i tried to reflash again and use the new hercules file in odin.
All went well until I went into cwm recovery to make a back up, it said the it couldn't mount and aborted.
I backed up onto the SD card and it proceeded, however, when trying to load the superuser file from the external sd, it also said it couldn't mount, and aborted there.
any way around this?

where is backup located, int or ext sdcard, which cwm version did u make backup
what do u mean it wouldnt read superuser, maybe redownload su and check the md5, running su in cwm has to b done a few times until it states that it has completed sucessfully
edit:try to mount sdcard from within cwm in "mounts and storage/mount sdcard" also mount emmc, i never had to do that but it might b that u have to do it once

well if you would just try a non touch recovery you might be surprised.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725221
this recovery works and this is all the help i can muster up. so now if you cant figure it out then i guess you shouldn't be flashing phones.
I have the same phone this is what I did
Flash phone with CWM use this one
Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.1.3 Odin tar http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1566613
Then wipe data/factory reset, format- system, data and cache, and clear the partition and dalvik caches, do that to all of them 3 times each, using touch cwm.
Then odin ICS download it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
(make sure only Auto Reboot is checked nothing else)
Once the phone loads go through the setup then leave it alone, let it sit for about 20min then flash back the CWM. Then download Superuser from here and put it on the root of your SD card then flash it in CWM if it fails just keep doing it until it works, it worked the second time for me.
Once superuser is installed install busybox from the market and everything will work.
This method worked perfect for me I was having the same problem like you. The key is to wait about 20min after you flashed ICS before you do anything else.
Hope this helps you.
Well, the final superuser file worked, everything backed up perfectly.
Wanted to thank you all for you assistance. Vincom, if I knew who you were in Bolton, id buy you a beer, as I'm in your town 3 times a week.

I'm not entirely sure. After not being able to back up, I grabbed an external sd, put superuser on that.
The back up went through with no problems. Also, superuser installed on the 2nd try and all went well with permissions from there.
Friend of mine had picked a zip file labelled "root" to use with Odin, and I'm suspecting the tar files I had attempted with in the past weren't correct and this file was.
Either way, I have lots more reading to do to fully understand what is available to me now. Busybox, nandroid, ROM toolbox installed.
iv flashed my phone so many times that flashing stock and rooting seem tedious to me. glad you got it rooted, now make a nand backup so you don't have to do it again.
my 32 gig sd is filled with nand dumps lol i don't even have a game on it to play.
Phone: Verizon galaxy s3 I535 US version
(/i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/JlSmall/Screenshot_2012-10-01-08-27-33.png[/url]
Sorry can't post full link yet
To make a long story short, I wanted to receive the Verizon ota update so it would go away. I found the firmware update for rooted galaxy s3 I535 and flashed it. After I rebooted it did the yellow triangle and said software not allowed by Verizon.
Assuming it was a soft brick, I downloaded the Verizon galaxy s3 stock Rom software ,flashed and cleared data sync cache.
It rebooted but still showed open lock and said custom ( not sure what that means) since I set it back to factory out the box format.
After it booted I placed in usb debuging and flashed the stock root software which included su and adb.
It restarted the phone normal with superuser.
As I was downloading the busybody, Rom manager, titanium backup, apps
Verizon downloaded the new ota update and went into there flashing mode. It finished update and restarted.
But now I can not gain root permission to flash cwr Rom to recover phone. This is where I need help please
I will try to update with file names when I get home tonight.
What is wrong?
And last question after I get permission, can I go back to recovery send use my last back up and recover all my apps, data and user files with out going back to before ota update.
it showed the custom unlock because your rooted. ota breaks root and yes you can restore your backup. although you will be prompted for the OTA again. I would advance restore data and not your full backup.

I believe I used the stock root I'll have to see when I get home. But that ringes a bell. I know I used the stock then flashed a stock root to regain root. It said su and adb was with it. It's the one in a YouTube video. But I stoped at min 3:30 bc I have Rom manager to flash cwm
Should I Just try another root or do you have unroot. First then flash another. Usually I run into issues like this.
The other question is should I upgrade to jelly bean

i solved the issue, I ended up completly re rooting and not using oden. this fixed everything
I received notice this morning that a firmware update was ready to install. I chose to install it and the tablet rebooted and start to apply the update. However, it gets to 32% on the update install, stalls, and then reboots and does the exact same thing.
Any thoughts on a solution?

i have the same problm :crying:
Need more info than that.
For example... Are you rooted or stock?
If rooted, there are a couple of reasons off hand I can think of you could be having a problem.
If you're stock, well... All I can think of is wave your hands in the air, and wave them like you just don't care. Pretty sure that won't fix the problem though, but if it does, report back! xD
I'm rooted.

I have the exact same problem.
GT-N8013, rooted, stock rom with root injected.
I called Samsung tech service and they said I should send my device to them.
The only way I can get out of this "update->reboot->update->reboot->..." infinite loop is to get into ODIN mode. (I can't turn off the device)
I decided to re-flash my rom (stock rom with root injected) in ODIN mode, but it does not have any effect and the device is still on this infinite loop. I'm worried if I messed up the device even more by doing that.

I'm in the same situation.
I'm going to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849994
when I get home tonight to see if this fixes it.
Is there any way I can at least access the internal storage somehow and copy my data?
There are some important job application info in S Note..

Try using Odin to flash the high on android cwm recovery. Once I did that I could restore a backup and boot to android.
Thank you! but I've been on stock recovery so I never flashed cwm or made a cwm backup. How can I restore to a backup after I flash the cwm recovery?

if you've never flash CWM, that means you never backed up via CWM, which means you can't restore to a back up. You have to use ODIN and flash a stock firmware on your note to recover it
Yes I'm trying to find a stock firmware for N8013 (UEALGB) but no luck. There is only "root injected" stock firmware, which is causing the problem right now...
Has anyone resolved this problem?

I have a N8013 and was running the stock, root injected firmware (UEALGB). Today I got the update notification. I tried to install and it kept looping. This is what I did:
1. Flashed the stock firmware with ODIN. You'll find the stock firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
2. When my tab rebooted, I got another update notification. I installed it and it worked. I'm now running UEALI3.
I didn't lose any data. I just lost root.
This worked for me as well. Thanks a lot, Vincent9756!:good:

Flash the recovery version for your firmware. If you have stock, flash the GB recovery. If you have LH2, flash that.
If you want to save root, use OTA RootKeeper before doing anything.

Im sorry but what do you mean GB Aaah that was the primary stock recovery before i updated to LH2 lol, now i get it.?The one that i have is the CWM HighonAndroid which was used for the Method 2 to obtain root, so then i jus tdownoad the stock LH2 Recovery, and use OTA rootkeeper before Odin LH2 Stock Recovery right? Will there also be a stock kernel and recovery for UEALI3 ? was thinking of possibly using the Triangle Away after this, possibly might be needed. Though maybe not.
Just want to make sure that everything is normal after this lol
ok... giving it a shot now, and using the OTA RootKeeper, lets see if this works
Everything Got updated !!! OTA seems to have worked which was awesome.
Testing everything to make sure that Root is fully funtional .
Used RootChecker, and things seems fully working!
Thank you loads for the help!

Yeah, there will most certainly be kernel and recovery uploads.
the only issue you might run into is CWM not sticking. If it doesn't reflash CWM in ODIN with reboot unchecked. Then after you flash it, boot into CWM. When you select reboot, it should offer to prevent stock recovery from replacing it.
and you're welcome, glad to help
