[Q] can someone help me with cognition

[hardwirk1]

ok so the other day i went and downloaded cognition v2.3b3 and it went off without a problem. i then wanted to download the v2.3b3 update and the stock lock and circle battery indicators. so i read that i needed to remove voodoo or disable it so i created the disable lag-fix folder, then i read that i needed to use odin and return to stock firmware...i tried that and it didnt work, so then i remembered that i needed to enter download mode...i couldnt get it into download mode...i used oclf thinking i needed to do that to then use odin but it didnt work...i did all this because the update supposedly had the android 2.1 keyboard with that haptic feedback...please help i want to return to stock and i can take it from there...and yes i did search the forums but cog is so big that there are tons of things associated with it and i didnt see my answer..my phone still works ...btw cog is great i love it

If you are trying to flash stock you need to read more about Odin. Cog has nothing to do with it. If you want to move up with cognition you do not have to go back to stock. You can flash the update through Rom manager. Just make sure lag fix is disabled. I see you made the folder make sure you reboot.

Captivate
Cog 2.2

i dont think i conveyed that right...i know they are different...i tried to upgrade using rom manager but when i did i kept getting an error stating basically it couldnt find the sd card or something to that affect....i think at this point i need to return to stock since i un-rooted the device...any recommendations since im using cog? what i mean is...do i need to do anything special....thanks for any and all replies

the first thing you need to do is learn how to read the cognition FAQs....its all explained in there and in the massive thread....why do you need to create a new topic on it?

i got it figured out..and i did read the FAQs but there were somethings i wasnt sure of im not a genius on this stuff like many of you are...

After you disable lagfix, make sure your phone is set to usb development mode (settings->applications).
Before you start, I recommend copying everything from the internal sdcard to your computer for backup.
1. Start the Odin one click to stock and connect your phone. Do a master clear. I've had some trouble with master clear after cog 2.3, but it's the first thing to try
2. turn phone off. Make sure usb is disconnected, SIM is out, and the odin program open on PC. Hold both volume keys and insert USB cable. You have to wait a couple of seconds until you see the digging robot. If you got that, you're in download mode. Click on the start and wait until the rebooting cycles are over.
3. If you couldn't do a master reset before, try it again. I would also recommend reformating the internal sdcard and copying back only what you need (assuming you backed it up).
