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.

Thanks for all your help, you guys give this site the reputation it deserves.

I have a quick question with this current Kernel Can I flash any type of Rom.. even the ones based on the i9000 like Paragon?

ps: would I have to to flash the stock Kernel/modem if I flashed back to stock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905042

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. Thanks for all your help.

Stuck in reboot loop

I just installed CWM via odin and all seemed well then I tried installing two different ICS based roms and both resulted in being stuck in a reboot loop. Could I have done something wrong? I have tried some fixes I saw posted around but nothing fixed the issue.

make sure u use darksidr before every flash. Also make sure u wipe dalvik cache. Did u install the uclca4 radio before u tried those roms?

1. What's darksidr? I backed it up so I can go back... I just want ICS
2. I did dalvik twice
3. No, one ICS rom said you needed to install radio but the other didn't and on the first step of installing the rom it looked like the radio may have been packaged with the rom. Where can I find the radio download?

Got the radio and no luck =/

flash superlite 5.1, it does all the work for u

I flashed superlite 5.0, where is 5.1?
but 5.0 did it all for me too and didn't work =/

loom for darkside wipe and flash it. Superlite 5.1 just got posted, try it. If that doesn't work, odin back stock, reflash cwm, and flash superlite again.

I did everything you mentioned. I installed odin, installed CWM, found a rom, did everything the developer instructed me to do, the developer was aware of the problem and none of his fixes worked for me so I was advised to ask elsewhere. Yeah, I don't flash roms every week like I used to with my HD2 and this is my first time really messing with radios so I asked for help. That's what the forums are for. I'm sure I've invested more money in this community than you have and I think I completely deserve to make a few retarded posts once every 10 months. Thanks for all your help with your troll posts

After Odin, did u boot into the phone and let it cycle and then install Odin cwm? Give that a try. Also, most of the updated ROMs already have the proper radio, no need to flash. Let us know how it goes.

Run the: ics odin one click. Then odin cwm recovery. Then flash ics rom. Or just flash this rom and you'll be good to go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585290

In cwm its also very important to format /system before you flash the new rom. You didn't really mention if you did that or not, so I'm just saying, just in case

I don't know what you've done to your phone. Perhaps if you make a very detailed list of what your setup is and what you've done so far we can help get you going. Be specific

Afternoon iLiberate,
What carrier are you with?
~PsyCl0ne
EDIT: Actually you know what come over to [RoM] ~[4.0.3.]~TEAM PERFECTION~REVAMPING
Now a couple of things before you start.
I am using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472954 for my recovery. I have had issues with a newer version but this one has helped me through a ton of issues I have had.
(Flash this with ODIN first)
I also recommend getting a wiping script DARKSIDE Super wipe. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706
(Give props to the guy that put this script together. Keep the zip file some where easy to access, you will be moving it to your phones external SD card along with the rom zip and kernel files.)
When you go into the TeamPerfection thread it is gonna be kind of confusing looking at all the links. Basically you will see 3 Themes (AOSP ICE, KOBALT, Phone Candy) then a link to a rom that is already themed, and finally the stock rom which you will need if you want to flash any of the three themes I listed earlier. For now I would just go for the Sense release we can always change what it looks like later.
Also you will need a kernel.
If you're with AT&T I would suggest getting Mohan's kernel. If you're with a Canadian carrier I would suggest Romracer's kernel.
From here you can basically follow the guide in post number 3. It is really simple just need a little patience and it will go through. Also if you have any titanium backups from Gingerbread, please don't restore those apps when your phone comes back up. Just scribble down a list of apps you currently are running, make backups of SMS/MMS if you wish and then manually download them one by one from the market. Then you can make a Tibu of the apps so if you want to change what your phone looks like you can just restore all the apps in one go.
If you need any more help please feel free to PM me, I honestly don't mind or even post back here. Gonna be doing some work around the house but I'll check back periodically.

Is there an All In One guide for this phone?

Okay, so my dad had bought a fit a few months back and he's sick of how slow it is and how unstable the stock is...
I'm not a newbie when it comes to this but I've only messed with my Motorola defy and after some looking around here it seems like things are a bit different for the fit (apart from rooting which is very simple)
So I basically want the most stable rom (oc'd as well hopefully) and a small guide to get there from an untouched stock rom
Any help? Any help appreciated

oh crap!! I was scanning through this forum on my phone, and I forgot about it before creating this thread.. my bad :\
alright then, I'll flash that, but I need some instructions from start to finish
I'll root it first using superoneclick..
then what?
On my Defy I had to install CWM and 2ndInit because of the locked bootloader, but I'm not sure how it happens on this phone.
(on a side note, I'm quite surprised by the level of activity on this forum
Didn't expect the Fit to get any attention over here)

Is this really necessary? I don't wanna download an entire GB rom just for CWM
Isn't there an app or something for this? I don't remember how I did it for my phone but it was quite straightforward
EDIT: I just looked up how to install CWM on my phone and it's a simple app from the play store. Isn't there anything similar for this phone?

You've got Froyo atm? If yes, then you do need to install GB first

don't use rom manager... it'll brick the phone

Okay then.. I'll do that first thing when my dad gets back.
also, will this work for custom recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623761
Is it reliable? The thread's only a page long, so i'm not sure
So finally, just to make sure I've got all the steps in order (before a moderator deletes this thread!!)
1. Install GB through Kies
2. Root the phone using SuperOneClick
3. Use ODIN for CWM (what exactly is ODIN? is it an app or something?)
4. Download ROM and GAPPS and flash it through CWM
That's it right? No messing with kernels or SBFs??

Well fit got a very simple system ...
no bootloader problem nothing locked ...neither the recovery is integrated with kernel !!
so to get a custom rom...
jus upgrade to a Gb rom.(Download a firmware from sammobile.com and flash via ODIN)
Using Odin(a Windows Tool) Flash the Cwm .
then using CWM flash as many custom roms as you want !!

well, that's good to know.. but I have a problem
I do remember seeing Kies when my dad got my phone, but right now, it's not showing up on the app drawer. And the Play Store isn't showing up either
Almost no apps were installed since we got the phone, and it's only been used for calling and the occassional texting
Any idea what's gone wrong? And how do I proceed with the flashing now?

Im trying to figure all this out and do it safely. I guess I bricked my 1st phone blue light only no power? I'm hoping to NOT do it again :good: ... Not very easy to get help around these forums since most ppl think you should already know. Im on ff18 and root per Qbkings vid, agat 0.2.1. Im timid on flashing now due to the brick. I have flshed about 10 roms when i was on el29 and never had any problems until i tried to flash an ICS rom.
So if im on ff18 root agat can I just use the format all and flash safely. And also how do you know when your going between roms that you are doing it safe? I want to try a few out?
Gtalk or emial [email protected] for any help offered.
Thank you in advance

Even though there is custom recoveries for ics. Many of us still use the tried and true method by using the el26 kernel.
Also format all does not play well with ics. Just wipe caches and do a factory wipe.

Cool so stay away from the caulk format all?
I flashed gingerbread roms over and over, after a bit my restores wouldn't work , then went for the milestone rom and bricked... I was supposed to use el26 according to vid and I think I tried to do it using clockwork instead of Odin(was I supposed to use Odin)? The only time I've used Odin was to root when I was on el29 and to root after i got ff18 ota. So do you use Odin each time and install the 26 kernel each time I want to install a new rom to be safe? ( if so then cool but I want to make sure I understand ) do I also have to are install cwm each time ( like meaning a safe version of it )
Right now the few rooms I'm seeing that I would like to try is cm9, the universe rom, and I hear about the " goodness rom"?
OK, so heres situation I'm on agat 2.1 and ff18 . Out of those three can I just download the rom and flash one or do I need to go to the 26 kernel and then do it EVERYTIME to be safe? I was sent a link for a safe kernel and said to " use and flash "? That just doesnt make complete sense to me yet?
Any and all is soooooo appreciated! I'm going to get this figured out so I can be comfortable and pros like some of you! I m really looking forward to it and if anybody wants to help a bit you can hit my email and I will not try to just waste ur time lol...

Sorry it took so long to get back, it got kind of hectic at work.
Here is my formula of flashing.
Odin el26- make sure it is in the pda slot.
Go into recovery. From there I wipe dalvik, cache, factory 3 times apiece. You don't have to do it that much, it just gives me piece of mind.
Flash rom from zip. Reboot. Then I flash my modem through Odin- make sure the modem bin file is in the phone slot.
Hit run wait for it to reboot and enjoy.
Also don't worry about asking me any questions unlike most of the xda members I'm not a prick that will tell you search and read.
I can read a calculus book until I'm blue in the face. Doesn't mean I'm going to know how to do calculus after unless I'm given some guidance.
My current setup is -

Modem- el29

2) If I do the same thing for my wife's phone which is still on GB then it sees the com port, but not on the phone with ICS installed already.
I tried to search and see if people have the same issue and did not find anything. For those who have already downgraded from ICS to EL29
can you please tell me which software you use and how you did it.

Also don't worry about asking me any questions unlike most of the xda members I'm not a prick that will tell you search and read.
I can read a calculus book until I'm blue in the face. Doesn't mean I'm going to know how to do calculus after unless I'm given some guidance.
My current setup is -
Cm9- 6/21 build from Chris g
Kernel- ff11
Modem- el29

Hi,
my Epic4gTouch is currently on IMM761.FH13 and I want to go back to prerooted EL29.
I follow the instructions from this link by sfhub
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409634
I downloaded and loaded Odin3Excution v1.81
a) Put my phone into download mode with power and volume up.
1) The software never recognized my phone and I get no yellow com port. My window 7 PC does recognize my phone even in download mode.
2) If I do the same thing for my wife's phone which is still on GB then it sees the com port, but not on the phone with ICS installed already.
I tried to search and see if people have the same issue and did not find anything. For those who have already downgraded from ICS to EL29
can you please tell me which software you use and how you did it.
Thank you,

Btw download mode is power and volume DOWN then once your there you press the up button you get into download mode before plugging in.
If odin doesnt recognize phone with yellow com ..try a different cable
hope it helps

[Q] Where to start...

Ok so I have a rooted infuse 4G and am a complete noob when it comes to flashin roms and mods... I am still on the froyo 2.2.1and hate it lol. Which brings me to my first query, I know its possible to upgrade my android version to the GB and JB with multiple methods but I'm extremely scared that I'm going to brick my phone. It was some forums on here that helped me decide to root my phone so now I'm hoping that you guys can help me take the next step. So whats the safest, easiest way to upgrade my os.. Odin didnt work and I no longer have a computer, so heimdall is out as well. Oh not sure if this is important but I'm not registered on any network nor have I unlocked my phone's sim. Well that's a start. I really hate froyo 2.2.1 so please if anyone can help I definitely could use it.

From Froyo 2.2.1, there is an official build GB 2.3.6 UCLB3 out for the Infuse.
You will need a computer though. Without a computer to restore your phone to stock from soft bricking, you should not be flashing anything. It may be possible for you to bring your phone to an AT&T store and have them update you if you don't have a PC. You will need a computer to root the GB UCLB3.
Where to start? Read the Q/A as much as you can. Then move into the Development section.

Thanks qkster.. I really appreciate your help. I follow alot of your threads and am so hapoy thst there are infuse users that actually are willing to take the device to the next lvl. Now for another question.
Will it be easier to flash the jellybean 4.1.1 from the froyo or the gb? Or would it be possible to just flash a higher kernel? I'm not syre if that would help me or not, I really want to speed up my infuse and stop it from rebooting so much.

You cannot flash JB from Froyo and need to go to Gingerbread, then ICS then JB.

Kies?

Would it be best to use kies to update to GB? I'm a little concerned as to what would happen to my Infuse all around.. What will need backed up?
I have titanium backup but if the app gets wiped wont i lose all my back-ups? For some reason it wont sync to my dropbox app force closes every time I try. Sorry about all the questions I'm just short on the amount of time I am able to browse threads at the moment but I do have use of a computer for awhile so that kinda helps.

I personally prefer using odin or heimdall. Don't quite trust kies and it often gives issues.
all mayor changes will occur on system partitions. Your internal sd will remain untouched, and there you will titanium backups. Just reinstall TB app later and restore apps, not data.

Well I'm going to install and give it a try with Heimdall. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks everyone for all your help. I'm sure I'll have more questions before long. XD

Will this even work if i'm not registered to a network with the phone still locked? And I see that it will also unroot my phone which isnt a problem I'm just curious whether or not I can still root with super one click or if i need a different root tool?

It doesn't matter if your phone is unregistered and locked. You cannot use SuperOneClick on Gingerbread. What you should do is (this is the Heimdall version):
Flash this rooted version of stock GB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25526643&postcount=2
You do that and you already have root.
If you want to then graduate on to Jelly Bean you must:
Flash ICS (follow directions carefully!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24901014&postcount=1
Once you've done that, flash any of the JB ROMs you like, but make sure to read the directions carefully. I strongly recommend that you consult the Super Everything Thread for links to the ROMs and tweaks you need, particularly if you are interested in unlocking your phone.

I'm feeling kinda stupid..
Can somebody give me the right link for downloading Heimdall One-click w/root? For some reason I'm not able to get any to work on this computer.. I downloaded the ink provided labeled UCLB3 -DEBLOATED-ODEX - ROOTED - BUSYBOX- STOCK KERNEL on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25526643&postcount=2
but am unsure if that actually is the one containing Heimdall or just the rom i'm flashing or both.. I'm extremely sorry about my noobishness of just posting all these already answered questions. I've gone and confused myself and have like ten tabs with different threads open please don't hate me. I have a bad habit of asking questions..
Oh and what apps do i need on my phone in order to flash? And I mean absolutely need. I've also noticed that most threads say to format my mounted sd card But i really dont want to do that if i dont need to.

It should all be bundled together. Heimdall is a java based interface so it should just open up. Sorry, it's been a long time and I'm an Odin person!
You don't need any apps on your phone. When you flash, everything on the small partition will be wiped (apps, app data, etc). Flashing will not usually wipe your pictures, videos etc. but it's always a good idea to back up. For now, don't worry about formatting anything. When you get to ICS, you'll need to format as it says in the instructions. Otherwise, if it works, don't fix it!
When you flash ICS and JB, all you need to do is to put the zip files on to your internal SD card (not the one you can take out). You can then flash from CWM (which will already be on your phone - don't download Rom Manager).

Once again thank you all. I'm running GB and loving it. My fiance is shocked at how much help I needed though usually I'm the person everyone comes to with their tech issues LOL. But I absolutely did not want to mess my infuse up. I thought I did but the issue was such a noob mistake that I had to smack myself in the face at my stupidity. Forgot to unzip the cwm ect folder I downloaded. XD not sure I'm ready to try ICS or JB yet though.

The odd thing is you could have updated to GB through AT&T and used mini kies. But at least you are now rooted and able to go to ICS and JB.
Read the instructions on the next step before moving on.

Kinda wish I would have done it that way... I wanted to get some practice flashing roms tho. And now my phone is bootlooping, computer says the device is incompatible I can only get into the samsung recovery even tho the rom i flashed had cwm packaged in. I tried to change my boot animation following the steps provided in my boot animation thread then again with the steps in tsqers rom thread I apologise if thats mispelled. I tried updating from sd but get a sign error Can get into download mode but same issue with it being incompatible usb device. I tried holding down the power button for 1 minute and then rebooting no luck there. I tried wiping data/fact. reset,... nothing. I tried wipe cache partition,...still looping.
The loop samsung screen two seconds, black screen 1 1/2 seconds,... over and over and over...
My battery is full. Any advice???

Which ROM did you flash and which CWM recovery can you see (which version)?

I used the http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...43&postcount=2 thread to get the rooted rom UCLB3 -DEBLOATED-ODEX - ROOTED - BUSYBOX- STOCK KERNEL.

Saved I think.
So I finally Got it to connect to my comp and re-flashed the rom can i get a link to an ICS heimdall one click package to flash before restoring anything and this happening again?

You should be able to find it on the ISET page.
