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.
Modded 3e recovery that works like 2e

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.
Bump. 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.
Hello guys
First of all, I'm new in here, so I don't know much stuff.
I recently got my transformer and wanted to check out the Android Revolution HD rom. Before flashing it, I made a backup using CWM.
I tried the rom (before installing it, yes, I did the superwipe thing) but didn't like it because the gps issues. I wanted to go back to stock and did again a superwipe and then made a restore from the backup.
When I rebooted my tablet, the configuration screen came up and started freezing and rebooting. I tried re-flashing the backup but it kept going on with the crashing and rebooting stuff.
I've been searching far and wide on how to go back to stock and I have found just the nvflash but my serial starts with B70 so I know I can't use it.
I decided to reflash Android HD Revolution because it's the only way the tablet will work, but I would love to go back to stock so I can use the gps properly.
So, Is there any way I can go back to stock? If this means something, I live in South America, so I assume I need a WW thing or whatever that means
Thanks in advance for your help
There's a flashable rooted stock ROM here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19093950
Thank you vyer much, I had seen that thread but since it said the following:
This will not work unless you have:
1. clockworkmod
2. STOCK firmware (root is fine)
3. the US or WW firmware
4. The appropriate prerequisite firmware (e.g. the latest firmware before this update)

I thought it wouldn't work.
Would you mind helping me understand the rules for flashing this version please? Right now I'm running Android Revolution HD 2.3.0
Thanks again!
Reboot into CWM recovery
Clear data and flash ROM. You can use Titanium backup to save apps and data if you don't want to lose anything.

In my understanding that is not a (complete) ROM but just an OTA update for a stock rom. Cannot be used to replace another ROM.
That's the same thing I understood from the ROM flashing rules.
I guess there's no stock rom that I can flash? It can't be (or can it?)
http://eeepadhacks.net/transformer-hacks/how-to-unrootunbrick-eeepad-transformer/
Steps 1 - 10 will get you a stock rooted ROM.
OK this is the link that has the full ROM. CWM flash-able.

Baseballfanz, I've already tried that one, but it didn't work. Thanks though.
Neidlinger, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction! If I ever find another GPS problem (since I haven't found one since I reflashed Android Revolution) I will use this tutorial.
Thanks again
Hi guys, I need a little help from you. So far I was using stock JPS and found a stock JPU without bootloaders on one thread here so I decided to give it a go. Installed it, made factory reset and everything worked. Then I decided to root it using superoneclick root which I was always using to root my phone. After rooting (also installed busybox) once again I've factory reseted my phone, but after reset I had no sound at all-no ringtone, no music... nothing. I went back to old JPS and after reseting it it all went back to normal. Does anyone know what could be the reason for this because I have been rooting all stock softwares with superoneclick and never had a problem?
Hi , Why you don't flash another ROM via Odin ?

False information. ODIN doesn't root phone automatically. It's the ROM you flash that has to be pre-rooted for your phone to be rooted after flashing through ODIN. Anyway, try flashing a JPU based custom ROM such as Kyrillos 9.5.

I have installed many custom ROM-s with JPU as base and all worked well. But I like to use stock ROM because with it and G3 mod kernel I can get up to 5 days of battery life, and only 2 to 3 days on custom ROM-s. Anyway, I have solved the problem by reinstalling JPS and rooting it with superoneclick. Thank you guys for your answers
well...
take that:

Happy flashing with ODIN.

Hello...this is my first post!!! I would like to start off by saying this forum rules and I have learned so much from you guys here. I have rooted, installed custom roms, bricked, and restored my sgs4g, galaxy exhibit, and huawei prism. The issue is with the huawei. Its not a bad phone, I was able to root it, install cwm, and flash cm7 to it (with the help of your wonderful forum :good The issue is with charging the phone. When you try to charge it while its shutoff it boots into recovery mode. I saw somewhere that it was the version of cwm I was using and updated to version 5. The same thing still happens with this version and its my teenager's phone so this is kind of a pain. Its backed up, and I realize it can be restored but I saw somewhere in your forum someone suggested to flash the stock recovery image. That would be great but I have had no luck finding this image. I tried flashing the only stock recovery image for huawei I could find, but it would not let me (install aborted). I'm running U8650 cm7, but I believe the phones a U8651 (its a prism). Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

Hi there!
Few days back I had a problem of low internal memory. I posted the problem, got some responses, then followed cute prince's Nandroid restoring tutorial. Flashed the latest Cm9, all was working fine. Then again needed a change (I'm kinda flashaholic ), wiped / reset my phone thru TWRP recovery (whatever is the procedure) and was unable to flash any single rom onwards. Tried to flash stock rom, even tried to restore my 6 months old cwm recoveries, but nothing boots up. I also tried to flash boot.img thru fastboot and flash the rom consequently but it too didn't work.
Now, I have no rom on my explorer except getting to bootloader, fastboot, TWRP or Clockworkmod recoveries. I can't do the nandroid restore as told by cute prince, now.
So I would have to post again here in the forum for the above problem. Here, what I need is to find out about what went wrong actually and what is the solution to the problem!! I hope am not talking about bricking the phone or something.
An urgent reply is highly appreciated, please
Regards.
