2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

How to back up your APPS + data (not system data) with Titanium Backup
​

Go to the market and download and install Titanium Backup

Load up Titanium Backup and allow super user.

Go into Preferences and change Backup Folder name to external_sd/TitaniumBackup (this will save a copy of the files to your external SD card for restoring after flash) then click back and it will reload.

Now go to batch and select backup all user apps. Select the apps you want and hit run batch (top of the screen) once it is finished (you will know as there is a notification in the drop down that it is done) Double check you external sd for the Titanium Backup folder, if it is there then you are good, if not double check the spelling. Make sure it is an underscore between external and sd. ex. external-sd = Wrong..... external_sd = right so it should read external_sd/TitaniumBackup






Ok So you Fully Bricked your Captivate Here is a last ray of hope


Download mode/JIG:
​
ITEMS YOU WILL NEED TO BUY:
-301k OHM Resistor, no more no less & -MicroUSB Board
-Upon receiving items, go here.
-Remove SIM and MicroSD Card
-Plug in JIG and voila, you are back in download mode
-load up odin and flash back to stock


Themes and Stuff:D
Disable Vodoo before flashing themes like blackfroyo with recovery.



Voltage Settings (If Kernal Supports OC/UV)

VoltageApp settings will stick until reboot, but to get them to stay after rebooting, this is what worked for me; You will need Root Explorer for this one
smile.gif


Setup Voltage App like you want
Menu>Apply for Now
Menu>Save as boot settings
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to /etc/init.d
Locate file saved for boot settings (S_volt_scheduler)
Rename "S_volt_scheduler" to "S_98_volt_scheduler"
Save
Reboot
Open VoltageApp to verify settings stuck

AT&T Wap Settings

Power Cycle without pulling battery

​

Backing Up your NV_data

Thread With more info


The reason its important to back up your NV_data (Non-volitile) is this has your imei, product code, unlock codes and model. This informatioin is not recreated with a JF6 OCD (One click downloader)

Certain Roms write data to your NV_data

(i think it was JPC leak from I9000 that was the first one. it changed everyones product code to I897ZKAKOR)

Axura changes the product code to I959ZKATMB or something like that

The Correct Product code for our Captivate is I897ZKAATT.

If your IMEI says 004999010640000 this is incorrect also and you may find your phone to stop making calls as this is like a debugging or prototype imei

Finally, if your unlock code is FFFFFFFF, you need this repair in order to unlock your code

All of these can be fixed with Helroz's Repair_nv_data.zip Found Here: http://perso.numericable.fr/helroz/P...ir_nv_data.zip


I did not create the software or any of the instructions, THis is credited to Helroz in the vibrant forum (please thank and donate to him) he came up with all of this, Im just sharing knowlage.

this can be found here: Unlocking Tmo Vibrant

http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=103

Just read the read me first. then the .Doc Make sure you are at Stock JH7 (I didnt try jf6) and root with busy Box (Super One click by CLShort Fuse worked for me)

Then Step 2,3 and 4. Monitor your phone for SU access attempts, it has several and be patient and read what its asking you to look for,

Now if you havent Backed up your NV_data then now is the time. I Use root explorer and just copy the /efs folder to a safe place (I have a copy on my ext. sd card and a backup hard drive)

You can also Use SGS tools (not SGS tool Box) to do a product code check. This also copies all of the pertenant NV_Data files to a folder on your internal SD card. you can use these also if you want.


Flashing JPP Modem to enable 850

The only guaranteed method for enabling 850 on jpp that is proven to work every time is to:

Flash stock using odin
Flash jg8 modem
Flash rom with jpp modem

Hopping around to other modems and back to jpp after this will kill 850 as well.

For some this is not an issue as they are in areas where 850 is not utilized by AT&T but for others jpp will cause headaches if they try using it without following these steps.
​


Themes and Graphics
Disable Vodoo before flashing themes like blackfroyo with recovery. (if Running vodoo)

How to change Boot Animation.
1.Find the animation that you want (most be compatible with captivate)
2.Copy bootanimation.zip (it must be named this) with a file explorer that gets you to system files ex. Root explorer to system/media
3.Reboot

I have a request. Could you skip the GB launcher that seems to be in most roms? Not that I don't like it but being able to drag the phone/messaging/etc buttons around on the dockbar is the most useful thing. TW Launcher is cool. I'm running perception 10.1, one of the main reasons is the launcher :p

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

The GB launcher is my favorite. If you have a touch wiz launcher I recommend backing it up. I wish I could accommodate you, but if I do it for you I have to do it for the next. I hope you understand.

    How to back up your APPS + data (not system data) with Titanium Backup
    ​

    Go to the market and download and install Titanium Backup

    Load up Titanium Backup and allow super user.

    Go into Preferences and change Backup Folder name to external_sd/TitaniumBackup (this will save a copy of the files to your external SD card for restoring after flash) then click back and it will reload.

    Now go to batch and select backup all user apps. Select the apps you want and hit run batch (top of the screen) once it is finished (you will know as there is a notification in the drop down that it is done) Double check you external sd for the Titanium Backup folder, if it is there then you are good, if not double check the spelling. Make sure it is an underscore between external and sd. ex. external-sd = Wrong..... external_sd = right so it should read external_sd/TitaniumBackup

    Voltage Settings (If Kernal Supports OC/UV)

    VoltageApp settings will stick until reboot, but to get them to stay after rebooting, this is what worked for me; You will need Root Explorer for this one

    Setup Voltage App like you want
    Menu>Apply for Now
    Menu>Save as boot settings
    Open Root Explorer
    Navigate to /etc/init.d

    Backing Up your NV_data

    Thread With more info


    The reason its important to back up your NV_data (Non-volitile) is this has your imei, product code, unlock codes and model. This informatioin is not recreated with a JF6 OCD (One click downloader)

    Certain Roms write data to your NV_data

    (i think it was JPC leak from I9000 that was the first one. it changed everyones product code to I897ZKAKOR)

    Axura changes the product code to I959ZKATMB or something like that

    The Correct Product code for our Captivate is I897ZKAATT.

    If your IMEI says 004999010640000 this is incorrect also and you may find your phone to stop making calls as this is like a debugging or prototype imei

    Finally, if your unlock code is FFFFFFFF, you need this repair in order to unlock your code

    All of these can be fixed with Helroz's Repair_nv_data.zip Found Here: http://perso.numericable.fr/helroz/P...ir_nv_data.zip


    I did not create the software or any of the instructions, THis is credited to Helroz in the vibrant forum (please thank and donate to him) he came up with all of this, Im just sharing knowlage.

    this can be found here: Unlocking Tmo Vibrant

    Just read the read me first. then the .Doc Make sure you are at Stock JH7 (I didnt try jf6) and root with busy Box (Super One click by CLShort Fuse worked for me)

    Then Step 2,3 and 4. Monitor your phone for SU access attempts, it has several and be patient and read what its asking you to look for,

    Now if you havent Backed up your NV_data then now is the time. I Use root explorer and just copy the /efs folder to a safe place (I have a copy on my ext. sd card and a backup hard drive)

    You can also Use SGS tools (not SGS tool Box) to do a product code check. This also copies all of the pertenant NV_Data files to a folder on your internal SD card. you can use these also if you want.


    Flashing JPP Modem to enable 850

    The only guaranteed method for enabling 850 on jpp that is proven to work every time is to:

    Flash stock using odin
    Flash jg8 modem
    Flash rom with jpp modem

    Hopping around to other modems and back to jpp after this will kill 850 as well.

    For some this is not an issue as they are in areas where 850 is not utilized by AT&T but for others jpp will cause headaches if they try using it without following these steps.

    Man, I should really fix that swype issue..lol
    I just wanted to drop in and say whats up.
    If and when I do find time, I will do a quick update, hopefully worthy of a Firefly Thursday (damn, good times :D).
    I really appreciate all comments and all the help from everyone.

    To be honest, I am a little surprised that people are still flashing FireFly (you have no idea how many messages I get weekly through the FF website). I am sincerely thankful to all of you for supporting my work. And to all those who left messages through the website, I apologize for not getting back to some of you.

    Thank you for being a great community.
