[I896] Firefly or Phoenix 2.2.1 version 4.5

Hello All,
I have the Rogers Captivate i-896 and recently moved over from a Bell I-9000 GTM. Reason why I moved from I9000 is due to the scare that most of the Bell Versions weren't flash friendly.
Due to my bad experience in the past, I just want to double check before I flash any roms. My two big interests lately have been either the Firefly ROM or Pheonix 2.2.1 version 4.5. Just wondering, anyone on XDA with a Rogers I896 that is currently running any of these ROMs with no issues at all?
Sorry if this is a repeat. I'm just not about to read 800 pages through the thread. Thanks a lot and your feedback will help a lot!

I too would love to know the answer to this.

Firefly all the way!
The only flaw I have found in it is the SMS timestamps, that can be fixed by installing SMS time fix from the market.
Its infinately customizable. (there is a huge thread based on it and pheonix here, alot of the Pheonix stuff will work on it as well)
It also does not apply the AT&T boot screen on startup, so if you do have any warranty issues getting back to stock is all that much easier.
I'm currently running it and its great!
Its also based on our stock rom.........Whats better than that

I'm gonna try out firefly right now. Will post if I run into any issues. Thanks
PS @nickm50 so my understanding is that you said that Phoenix themes is compatible with firefly right?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using Tapatalk

Some of the parts of them are. I don't believe the whole themes are. But there are firefly themes in the thread as well.
I know the dialers and boot screens work 100% for sure.

Flashing as we speak.. thanks for the feedback

Can I theme the Stock Dialer on the Fire Fly ROM? Or, will I screw things up if I flash this?

That will work! I'm running their green one right now

Dammit. Now I feel like a noob, with the question I am about to ask...........
Sooooo, the old way I flashed the rom is not working for me. I am installing Clockwork Mod Recovery via Rom Manager, and then I keep clicking "Reboot into Recovery Mode".. I've done this process over and over atleast 5 times, and its not booting into CWM Recovery. What do I do?
I am trying the OneClick ODIN, but it doesn't give me an Option of which ROM file to flash..
HELP?!

Have you got firefly installed?

What do you mean? I downloaded the ROM and put it on my SD Card.. But, its just a matter of getting into Clockwork Mod Recovery so I can flash it.. I know what to do in Clockwork, just don't know why its not booting into Clockwork Mod.. :??

power down the phone.
boot into recovery manually vol-/vol+ and power
when you get into recovery choose reinstall packages.

Try reinstalling the drivers...

So, after a long time i came across it again, sorry for waking the thread from the dead, but its better than just to create a new one. So im fairly new to flashing samsung firmware, so to speak i have no idea how it goes. I have a htc and its fairly simple. So now i connected it and widnows installed the drivers and i did kies.

The tab does not respont to anything,it wont turn on by any means , but windows and odin detected it. I've seen that you can unbrick it from soft brick but i cant get to download mode

Try OneClickUnbrick,
search for it.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

Tried it, didnt work, when i clicked it it jsut sent me to the help centre, where i had to install three things, framework.net for windows which i have,heimdall i had, and the other thing it installed, so i rebooted the computer and it still did not detect it. It states in the thread that the oneclickunbrick is for soft bricks. And i cant even reach the boot logo nor download mode.

If yes, did u revert back to rfs before flash?

The IMIE Number is basically on the MODEM.CSC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783&highlight=bootloaders
Try to flash the modem according to your Rom Specification.
Or Why don't you try to flash a Factory Rom!
May Be that Will FIX THE ISSUE!
Hope it helps...

Flash JVU without re partition.

Thanks "thatdefault"... It worked for me. i still had the JVU for my region, flashed without the repartition option and all came back.

[Q] S Off and Updating ROM on GSM Unlocked One M8

Hey guys, how's it going?
Well, I recently bought an HTC One M8. It is the Sprint Variant I believe. So it was an unlocked version with ViperOne 1.7.0 installed. I checked for updates and found there was an update for 1.8.0, to which I instantly updated. I was aware that Viper 2.4.0 is available for the device too, hence my question is if it's okay to update to flash/update full ROMs to this unlocked M8? I am aware that I would lose the unlock on non Sense based ROMs though. So, is there anything I should consider/remember before flashing the full ROM to the device?
Another problem I am facing is with achieving S Off. I am aware about what all of this is as I have always been involved with such things but always with factory unlocked variants. Anyway, I tried the firewater method, for at least 10 times but everytime it says that it can't S Off my device. (Screenshot Attached)

Is there something I can do about this? Anyone who had faced this and resolved it?
Other than these two little issues, my final question is that IF in case anything goes wrong, would a Nandroid Backup restore my phone to the current state INCLUDING the SIM Unlock?
In simpler terms, can anyone tell me what all can and can not affect the SIM unlock on my device? Kernels, ROMs, Mods, etc?
I did a lot of search before posting this thread (two nights) and found answers to many other questions and doubts but not to these three. Sorry if these are all actually noob questions. Thank you!

Anyone?

Only way to achieve soff is sunshine in conditions like you. It works like a charm. if you would have problem with sim unlock, Then, flash Bad Boyz rom and follow the instruction at second post. Just past same path 4 days ago

I would definitely do all of this but now I have another problem. I attempted to change runtime on Venom 1.8.0 but now it wouldn't reboot. Doesn't go past "HTC One" screen on boot. Can't try any other ROM because my broadband is having troubles. *sad*

Their is a small zip to change runtime back to dalvik it's your best choice or reflash the Rom next time do a nandroid before doing that. Your phone will not boot because you have a tweak or theme/mod that art doesn't like.. good luck remember the zip is in the read me section of viperrom.

I had a couple of NANDROID backups but they didn't correct the issue either. In the end, I had to wipe system and flash the ROM again. Works fine since then.

In need of a little guidance

So today I went out and got me a Note T-mobile Note 4 off CL. The jackhole I bought it from forgot to mention the phone was modded but anyways that's Craigslist right? [emoji16] so I went and tried to factory reset which took me to a screen I believe is a custom recovery but want to verify. There was no SU or any root apps installed. Since I was going to mod phone anyway I'm not too worried but would like an Idea of what should do as far as updating/changing since I'm new to Samsung forums. Attached pic of recovery and my about phone. Any help much appreciated!

Is that cwm? Don't recognize it. Since you are on DOK2, grab it from sammobile and use Odin to flash it. Will give you a completely fresh start.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

It's definitely modded since seandroid is permissive. That recovery though seems to be the stock one of build DOK2.

Perfect I was trying to figure out if that was the stock recovery so I would know where to start. I was also confused because it looks like CWM but I'm going to end up jus flashing full DOK2 .tar and start all over. Thank you both!

Yeah that looks like cmw and AEL is a custom kernel I believe.
