This package is designed to be used with Heimdall 1.3.0 or newer to bring your AT&T Captivate back to stock froyo including a full repartition. [mirror] (Rogers users see post #5)

This file can be used to restore your phone for warranty, and it should also SIM-Lock the device. It can be used to restore stock firmware from a ROM that uses MTD like CyanogenMod or MIUI (or even if you haven't and would just like to restore stock). This can also be used to restore bootloaders to froyo/eclair style for flashing to CyanogenMod if you flashed a 2.3.x build, such as UCKF1, this is required and prevents nasty emmc bugs (this has been fixed since 2011-08-05 in nightly builds). The full list of hashes for the files contained in this archive is available to check integrity here. I have flashed three devices with these files and I know they work. I hope this replaces the need for "One-click Odin" and prevents bricks on devices that cannot flash back to UCJF6.
Cool I just started toying with the Heimdall1.3.0 for mac this morning. It's nice to finally see a real option for mac users to flash stock. Not to mention its a true cross platform alternative for anyone to flash a rom, and create rom distribution packages.
Many thanks.

Here is a package based on UXJL1 with the I897 bootloaders. It should work fine but it needs testing. I am not responsible for damage to you, your phone, or your kittens. (hashes) [mirror]

What is required to convert a custom rom like Apex, Continuum, etc to the tar.gz format to utilize 1.3.0?
Not sure what you mean...but prolly 7 zip
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
ok, I'll try to explain. The files needed to flash this are different than the files in a cwm zip, in that there is not a folder labeled cache, or dbdate, or factoryfs. But those are the folders you need to use this (and odin).

Heimdall Frontend has built-in functionality to generate a compatible Heimdall Firmware Package for you. The format is a .tar.gz file however it always includes a file called firmware.xml, which describes the firmware and how Heimdall Frontend should flash it.
So to create a Heimdall Firmware Package you just fill out Heimdall Frontend's "Flash" tab as if you were going to perform a custom flash. Then instead of clicking the "Start" button you go to the "Create Package" tab. Fill out the information there then press the "Build" button and chose where you want to save the package, Heimdall Frontend does the rest.
Heimdall's README includes detailed instructions.

To convert your other rom into a format that is compatible with flashing via Loke/Heimdall you need to dump those bml partitions using dd.

Be careful doing that with the bootloaders though. I've had success myself (GT-I9000) but Adam Outler (Captivate) recently had a problem with the dumped bootloaders not exactly matching the ones he'd flashed so it looks like the phone may manipulate them under some circumstances.

I was thinking about doing something that didn't include bootloaders. I don't believe in flashing bootloaders without a very real need. I know it only takes a few seconds but I don't like the exposure to risk if it's not absolutely necessary.

I would love one without bootloaders and param.lfs. As long as you don't flash the ginger leaks you shouldn't have to reflash them.
I found an eclair heimdall package w/o those except it didn't repartision, so i couldn't get off cm7 with it.
If you do make it im sure me and many other people will use it all the time.
Thank you for your work.

I'm not sure if you're referring to a Heimdall Firmware Package. If so then after pressing the "Load / Customise" button, you're able to customise the package's original settings before you push the "Start" button to flash.
So if you know the package is a complete firmware package just just check the "Repartition" tick-box if you want to repartition. Obviously you won't want to do that if the package only contains a kernel and modem etc. If you know files are missing you can add them yourself.
Of course if you're not confident in what you're doing then it's probably best to wait for a package that does exactly what you want.

You're not obligated to flash them, if you do not wish to flash bootloaders just remove param, IPL+PBL, and SBL from the list and uncheck repartition.
However if you're flashing back to bml/rfs, it's required that you both repartition and flash bootloaders, there's no getting around that.
Hrm... Looks like I got a bad download the first time around. I'm trying again now. I'm going back to CM, Samsung Gingerbread just doesn't cut it anymore.

This may sound like a very dumb question but i am just now getting into the different things i can do with my phone. One of which is i have rooted it and installed clock work manager. I have seen A LOT of people talking about odin and using it to install froyo 2.2 on their phone. I was just wondering how you actually go about getting odin on your phone, or is it something installed on your computer to transfer files to your phone? my main objective of all of this is just to have froyo 2.2 finally installed on my phoneso if anyone could please give me the run down on this and the info i need to install 2.2 on my phone, or a web page that shows you how to install it once i have odin, it would be greatly appreciated!!!
Odin is a program used to flash .tar files (modem, kernel, system) onto your phone while in download mode.
A little poking around here (I would link you but I'm at work) and you will find the Samsung Drivers, The Odin program itself, and recently someone posted Odin files for 2.2
If you have the .zip of 2.2 (or Superclean 2.4) all you will have to do is flash the eb01 modem in Odin, then install the .zip file through CWM.
Follow ALL instructions in the threads you find to the T or it will be a pain in the ass to get your phone back.
Remember: When using Odin NEVER USE THE PHONE BUTTON. We use the PDA button for the Fascinate.
PDA = Good
Phone = brick (that's bad)

If u get the eb01 sc Odin package...it comes with rom obviously so u don't flash anything in cwm. However... future roms you want will b flashed in cwm. All u do is boot into recovery,instal zip from sd cars, choose the zip from sd card....select it...and hit ok

Ok, easy way to get froyo... go in the fascinate develpment section of xda or droid forums and look for ODIN eb01 package. It will load you up froyo, new clockwork, and root your phone all in one shot. The directions are super easy, just follow them exactly. I did mine this way, you dont have to mess with clockwork at all, ten minutes total. Let us know how you make out.

It seems that phones batch 1010 and newer dont like this method of going back to stock. If you're caught in a boot loop try flashing the official froyo for Captivate. One source can be found here
\\\\\\\\\\\\warning///////////
Disclaimer: Anything you do with the content found in this thread and the content that this thread links to, is your own choice and you are fully responsible for what happens to your phone.
This method is for ATT Captivate ONLY!
We all know that there is a very often used method of going back to stock found here. The problem is that the ODIN OneClickDownloader contains both boot loaders and param.lfs.
These files, if not flashed correctly or if the connection between phone and PC drops while flashing them, can brick your phone for good. The reason why would this happen is because of unreliable USB drivers.
The purpose of this thread is to give flash addicts/custom ROMs users a more secure way to go back to stock - JF6 - without risking bricking their devices.
Do not use this if you want to send your phone back to ATT or Samsung for warranty!
Use this if you want to go back to stock before flashing a custom ROM.
Use this without worries if you changed your boot screen image or if you flashed the secondary boot loader which allows you to enter download/recovery with key combos.
This package contains NO BOOTLOADERS and NO PARAM.LFS!
Download the package from here
Download Samsung Kies and install it. It will install the latest Samsung drivers.
How to:
Remove sdcard and SIM card from the phone
Extract JF6_secure.zip somewhere.
Boot in Download Mode (see below)
Run Odin3 v1.3.exe
Click on the button PDA
Choose JF6_secure.tar.md5
Click start.
Wait and do not unplug cable until it is finished
How to boot in download mode:
There are 3 methods:
Method 1: (ADB) - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on)
Open a cmd prompt/console/shell
adb shell
adb reboot download
Method 2: (KEY COMBO)
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold both Volume buttons
Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons
Method 3: (JIG)

If moderators believe this does not belong in development, I have nothing against to moving it to General. However, I think the community would appreciate if it would remain here.

Just used this to go back to stock prior to flashing another ROM. Worked with no problems and only took about 5 minutes. Will use this from now on to avoid the possible brick.
Again, really appreciate you providing this for us.
Still not sure why one would use this over the DG Odin? Maybe someone can clarify?
Here is my scenario. I'm currently on Cognition 3.04 which I flashed from stock. It was my first ROM so I didn't have to go back or do anything with Odin. Now, if I want to flash a new ROM, I plan on using Odin, jut not sure which one???

on top of the read phail, i would add that you dont need to flash stock between roms, you only need to do it after a failed flash or a "no wipe" rom that depends on original files, **which they dont do anymore**. All the good full roms do a wipe before flashing. so there is no point going to stock! hope that clearifies!

I did read it, just thought there was something I was missing.
I thought there was more to it than people having bad usb ports. You're saying if one does have a bad usb port and flashing gets interrupted, their phone would be bricked with the DG Odin, but with this Odin it would somehow be ok?

If you own a computer you definitelly heard about BIOS and you heard that if the BIOS gets screwed (CMOS chip burned or bad BIOS update) you can pretty much throw the motherboard.
Well, imagine that your phone has 3 BIOSs
primary bootloader - boot.bin
secondary bootloader - sbl.bin
hidden partition for system images - param.lfs
and that they are dependent on each other and if one of them gets screwed you wont be able to get to recovery and download mode.
The one click downloader contains all these 3. My package does not.
Get the point?

Hi all,
I've just got my new i5800L, and I've already rooted it with z4root. Here are my qs:
What's all that of XXJPM and all that stuff? Which one should I use for mine? (actual one is I5800LVIJG7 (Eclair)).
Is there any way of doing a nandroid (full copy of the actual rom which can be flashed easily) so if I mess things up or want to get back to Eclair I'd just have to flash it back?
I guess that's all by now. Thank's in advance.
JPM is the latest froyo rom...you cant backup ur whole rom as if nw we dont have any alternative for this...check flashing guide in sticky and see vdos on youtube. ...happy flashing...

Flash the JPM firmware...you shud get it as a tar package...a single file...
but sometimes u will have 4 files
1. bootloader
2. pda
3. csc
4. phone
dont ever flash the bootloader file in odin with pda csc n phone tar files...because the risk of bricking goes high...
just flash the 3 remainin files...n when ur fone has booted...just do a hard reset

Great, now it works again! Thank you a lot. And now I finally understand how odin works :-D
which custom rom do you guys recomend?
Don't forget the i5800L is different from the i5800, but the only difference is the 3G antenna frequency. If you install JPM you MIGHT have 3G connection problems, or then again you might not. You MOST LIKELY will see a battery life decrease because of this issue. If you want really badly to have Froyo (android 2.2) you can flash a JPM ROM. If you want your battery to last a couple of days, either wait for an american release of froyo, or keep your Eclair version.
I have a i5800L from VIVO, originally with JG7 as well. When I installed JPF (previous froyo release) I had issues with the 3G network, when I flashed Kyrillos custom JPM ROM i also had problems. When I flashed Lestatious custom JPF ROM I didn't have problems, and when I flashed clean JPM i didn't have problems either.
So really, its a question of luck.. although let me tell you, my battery lasted way way longer on the original JG7 firmware than any other release (including the JK1 Eclair, said to be the best Eclair released before froyo).
Remember though, if flashing separately (not as one package), avoid flashing the BOOT file or BOOTLOADER. Flashing this increases the chance of bricking your phone. Not flashing it decreases the change by 1000000000000 times.

Yeah, I can see that. I'm with Kryllos v3.3 and the battery only lasts like about 16 hours :S. I guess I'll go back to I5800LVIJG7 (The one which it came with).

About that, if I flash the bootloader (with all the others too, of course), and it upgrades ok, then there's no problem, right? I mean, if I try to downgrade again, it'll work fine? (Yes, before I read the comment telling me not to flash the bootloader, I did it and it was successfull. But now I don't know if it'd make it fail when I'll downgrade to I5800LVIJG7 :S)
It's not about upgrading or downgrading. When you flash, pratically all the memory on your phone gets erased, which means you can upgrade or downgrade at will with no problems.
The problem is, when you flash a bootloader, and say, for example, you have a power outage, or your computer decides to give more resources to your MSN or winamp you have running on the background (or whatever else), or even there is a problem with your cable connection or a spike in power, or whatever other mishap that can occur, the bootloader might not be able to transfer successfully. If that happens, you won't be able to boot your phone. If you flash everything except the bootloader and something happens, you will be able to at least go back into download mode and reflash the files needed.
Basically the bootloader tells your phone to start. If that gets corrupted, it simply won't. If you avoid flashing this and even if the transfer gets corrupted, you can always do the process again by going into download mode (which is installed along with the bootloader)

Go to terminal emulator and type this..
su
dd if=/dev/block/stl4 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs
Wait for few seconds. Then copy efs.rfs from sdcard to pc and keep it safe.

Market dude......
Hello,
Do you know where I can get a PHONE file for Vibrant T959 to use with ODIN?? Please help...
A while back, in the process of installing a 2.3.3 ROM on my Vibrant T959, I used a Galaxy 9000 PHONE file (and PIT and PDA) via ODIN. Since then, at boot, splash says i9000 then 2nd splansh says Vibrant.
Phone works ok, but there are times when it thinks phone is an i9000 not an Vibrant - like using ROM Manager and downloading recovery.
I have looked everywhere but not found a stock PHONE file for Vibrant (only found 512 PIT and PDA files).
Please email or point me to one, if you have or know where.
Much appreciated

You'll find the Tar and Pit under Step 2.

Hi eggnoodle,
I do not see PHONE file in the package..., only the PIT and PDA files.
Will this fix the GT i9000 splash screen and other issue? Let me know..
thx
Perhaps you misunderstood, but I was not looking for the TAR and PIT files. I am looking for the PHONE file.
Thx
If you're looking for stock rom then you can find it here

hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in...as I'm a newbie myself.
Thx anyway, but I am looking for the specific PHONE file to use with ODIN...

Hi seedofchaos,
I have flashed back to stock many a time, to install ROMS, etc. but this has not restored the Vibrant initial splashscreen. This first splash only changed after I used a GT i9000 PHONE file with ODIN.
If you can direct me to a PHONE file to use with ODIN, I would appreciate it.
I have read about the aoi toolbox but it is more than I was looking for at moment. I just need the PHONE file for the Vibrant T959, please.
Flashing the Samsung Vibrant to stock firmware does not require a PHONE file to be selected in Odin.
You might have heard that for some other phone, but for this phone all that is required is a .tar file and a .pit file which has already been linked to.
Edit: Seems like you might just have to flash a vibrant kernel. Look into flashing that.

No sir, I am not trying to flash back to stock. I am not trying to flash to stock. I know how to do that with TAR and PIT, but that is not what I am trying to do.
I need the PHONE file to restore the initial boot splash and to get the phone to stop identifying as a GT i9000 in some apps, which it does. This behavior started when I used a GT i9000 PHONE file in ODIN.
Sorry for the confusion this is causing, but if anyone has it, I need a PHONE file for Vibrant T959.
thanks

We understand what you are trying to do. You want to get the old boot splash back the only way to do that is to flash a stock rom. Jfd will do the trick. Otherwise you'll need to have a custom kernel like overstock flashed through clockworkmod.

Well, I have flashed JFD twice using ODIN, but no cigar.
I did so in the process of installing a new ROM.
Is there something I am missing? Current ROM is Simply Galaxy 3 rc2 based on 2.3.3
Thanks for all help
I think you need vibrant sbl.bin/boot.bin. Look here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756832&page=2
You can ask Jellette for bootloader.
It sounds to me like you flashed the i900 sbl and boot.bin in other words your phone has the i900 boot loader. You'll need to find the files to flash the t959 boot loader however be VERY VERY careful doing so as you have about a 50/50 chance of hard bricking your phone when doing so. The files aren't available on xda for that reason. You're only shot is finding a dev who has said files and is willing to help you out. Good luck!

This is UCKH3 packaged in Heimdall One-Click Format. Run it at your own risk. I am placing it here because I need a place to store the link on mediafire
http://files.teamkomin.com/Captivate/SGH-i897-UCKH3-One-Click.jar
As of today, this is the latest, greatest semi-official, leaked firmware for the Captivate--3SEP11
If anyone wants to try it out, go ahead, please leave feedback.
No time to do a full release thread about this right now... Working on the UnBrickable Mod platform and this file is required to finish the job.
Could you do a UCKH3 instead?

DIdn't realize there was a newer one. Yes. I'll get right on that.
Hi thanks for this, im just about to try it now. Hows KH3 going?
Summary: It kinda worked. I get garbled video with the camera and on bootup after the Samsung Galaxy animation.
Process:
I started on a semi-recent CM7.1 Nightly (90-ish).
I flashed to stock using AIO Captivate Toolkit. That got me to JF6. Note all download modes are initiated using USB jig.
As soon as I verified a good boot into stock, I fired up Heimdall One-Click, put the phone into Download mode and clicked the magic button...
It flashes, reboots, but then gets stuck at the white AT&T boot screen. No progress for many, many minutes. I get desperate and tried to shut it off. In the process, the phone reboots and begins what appears to be a normal boot process. This boot completes, but I'm left with the aforementioned artifacts - the camera doesn't work and I get garbled graphics on boot. Also, the phone feels laggy as heck.
I'm guessing I may have prematurely interrupted the initial boot process. To be honest, I wasn't tracking time, so I don't know if it was only 5 minutes or 15. I just know it didn't seem right and much, much slower than flashing to stock JF6 was.
I'm going to try a more conventional Odin flash to see if I get better results.

This did not include the params.lfs. I did not realize it at the time I released it. I will include a better version soon. I just needed something quick to support this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242466
Sorry, I can't release UCKH3, it's missing files. I'll see about other versions...

You can pull the missing files from KF1. That's what I did when I flashed KH3 when I managed to messup my phone playing around with Heimdall 1.3.0...
Guessing the missing files weren't updated so they weren't included with the exception of the primary bootloader.
Updated to UCHK3 with missing files from UCKF1. This is the latest, greatest Samsung firmware as of today.
Whats wrong
This might be a noob question but what am I doing wrong? I make it executable but it does nothing. I am running Ubuntu 10.10

Odin is for windows. Heimdall is the linux equivalent. So the file in the op probably won't help you on ubuntu.

Right click and open with java... or run from command line java -jar mydownloadedfile.jar
Is anyone else having problems with running the KH3 version on Windows? When I try and run it I get -- "Invalid or Corrupt jarfile" and it closes.
I tried downloading 3 times to rule out corrupt download, and the previous KF1 version ran fine so I don't think it's my Java implementation.

Verified... There must have been a problem with the secure file transfer (i was not watching it). It is an invalid java file when downloaded from the server.

I'm uploading a new one now, ETA 25 minutes.
The one from this morning was about 150 some odd megs, and the re-up over 200. This one seems to load up fine!
Does this include bootloaders?
Thanks!
There is a option to flash bootloaders. If you want them you will have to flash twice.as far as i know

OK. Comes up now. My first Heimdall flash coming soon!
I'm on stock froyo, kb1, flashed to it using this: heimdall at&t stock firmware package. Can i flash UCKH3 that Adam linked in the OP over this? Is it enough to click on bottom left button (details), then write true in the Flash column to the IBL+PBL, SBL, PARAM rows to flash bootloaders too? Thanks for the answers!
