Hey all. I just bought a used (but in great condition) captivate off of ebay. Unfortunately it is of the #1008 batch.
I did test the 3 button and 2 button + usb modes and they both work.
Does this mean I will be fine putting a new rom on, or will this #1008 problem present itself somewhere down the road?
Last time I put an alternate ROM on a phone was way back on a Tmobile SDA, and hopefully it will be soon when I do my next one
Thanks

Well if they are working then that's good..I suggest that if you are going to try a custom ROM you try the COG versions as it has the three button fix built in and should be the safest one to use...Just read and understand before you try any custom ROM and you should be fine...

It says I897UCJF6
hmm... i ahev batch 1009 and i have perfectly working 3button mode
If it works, it works. Maybe not all from that batch have the problem. Doesn't mean it is totally unbrickable. You can still break the three button on any batch phone. But now we also have the hardware jig option so you're pretty well covered either easy. Go flash!

Then you are probably fine.
Just to be sure don't revert to JF6 stock without the 3 button fix

Alright, thanks guys. Your advice helps a lot. Another question though about reverting.
After I flash to a new rom, for what reason would I might revert?

It gets old, there are problems with that rom, newer better roms came out that you want to try, or you just want to go to stock. etc

So if I ever want to change to a new ROM in the future, I will need to go back to stock before I do that?

It's generally a good idea to revert to stock and wipe your data between ROMs in order to assure one install doesn't interfere with another.

Released this morning. Easy as pie and is working fine for me
Suuweeeet!!
but the bootloader is still locked and we can't flash custom roms right?
Will we be able to flash custom ROMs? Or will we only have root access to our current ROM?
We won't be able to flash custom roms just yet.
But it's great to use some of my favorite apps again now that it's rooted.
This method worked flawlessly on my ATT OneX. Win7 Pro x64...just install HTC drivers, plug in as Debug, and run the root.bat. I didn't have to kill any processes or disable sync or anything.
Only thing to watch out for is that the phone reboots multiple times even after the script stops running( like 4-5 times), so make sure its completely finished and you are at homescreen before you unplug it.

Hey All,
I didn't want to risk the ban as I have found this site very useful over the years so I'm posting this here. I know a lot of work goes into finding ways to root each device when possible so I thought I'd throw my $0.02 in.
I purchased a T-Mobile (SM-T217T) Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 last night and wanted it rooted. After hours of trying every method I could (SuperOne Click, Cydia Impactor, Kingo, and every other non Odin based root I could find) I gave up and decided to try some Odin methods.
I downloaded the CWM recovery for the SM-T217S
I grabbed The Universal Root file.
And lastly Odin 3.07
BEFORE STARTING put the untouched Universal Root file on your EXTERNAL SD CARD
Put the Tab in download mode (Power + Vol DOWN)
Open Odin 3.07
Connected your Tab to the PC
Click PDA in Odin, and select the CWM file which then asks to select the recovery file inside the tarball.
Make sure the ONLY options selected are Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and then click start.
Once the Tab turned off I let it reboot fully before touching it to make sure I didn't brick it but You can skip that and go right into recovery if you want.
Reboot into recovery (POWER +Vol. UP)
**Vol. Up and Down control line selections and Power selects the line**
Select Install Zip
Select Choose Zip From External SD Card
Select android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip
Select Yes
Reboot
WIN!
Once I can find a way to safely upload a a nandroid or similar back-up (maybe a more experience Dev can send me a guide/walk me through it) I'll update this post with a link for a T-Mobile stock rooted rom. Or someone else can do it after you have root.
If You were part of creating any of the root files I used (found through Google and direct linked here) please let me know so I can credit you in my post.

Learn to walk b4 you run. Read, read and do some more Reading on MANUAL ROOT, not all in one kits. These are great. I use then but you need to know the basics of communication with your phone in fastboot, incase of mistakes.
When you are ready make a full backup and an "efs" it's important to store the efs off the phone. Not sure what it is? Get Reading)
I could of named a kit but you would not find anything out. In an emergency (which happens) you would have to start learning things you should have-at the worst time. Good luck on your journey!

The first thing you need to do is install a custom recovery. Use twrp. Once you have that installed make a backup of your device with it. Then you can install a rom.

Hi there. I have a Galaxy S6 G920R4 from US Cellular. I absolutely love it. I'd love to have a custom ROM to run on it, but I of course don't have the know-how. I don't see much in the forums about my phone. I just wanted to start a thread and get some replies from others to show support and kind requests that have this phone from the same carrier. Maybe a kind developer will help us out here with whatever modifications need to be done to get a ROM working on our phones. I'd like to thank you all for the work that you guys do to make phones fun for folks like us.
I second this. I would love to have a ROM for this device. It's a wonderful phone but doesn't have the ROM support of the bigger carriers as of yet.
I have been waiting patiently When I had my Mesmerize, it really only took one person to bring support on, and I was able to use other ROMs through flashing specific stuff. This was with an AOSP rom, so I'm sure it is much different with these Touchwiz ones.
I've got two US Cellular S6's, both rooted but would also love a new rom..
don't forget us with the Marshmallow System dump of touchwiz!!!
This would be great... But I don't think an pure Lollipop will be available for a long time, since Samsung's drivers aren't public-domain anymore.
People with some know-how though should be able to at least modify the TouchWiz version, though.
Kinda wish that were me!
I have the S6 Edge and hope this thread takes off!!!!
