My condition seems fairly unique:
- Samsung Captivate (Model i896)
- Rogers Wireless (Canada)
- OSX (mac air, too small to install bootcamp)
Reference URLs (nothing verified working!)
Steps that worked for me
- Reference URL for Installing Clockwork Recovery Mod on OSX
- Download kernel image
$ tar xvf captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar
- Start cellphone in download mode by holding volume down, power on, and plugging in the USB. Note: You have to have USB debugging turned on in system settings!
$ heimdall flash --kernel zImage
Stock Rogers Wireless image
I needed to go back to the stock Rogers Wireless image on osx. I downloaded the stock image, and ran heimdall in download mode:
$ heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --cache cache.rfs --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --kernel zImage --verbose
Outstanding issues
I can't seem to find a way to root this phone using OSX:
- If the One Click Root guy is reading this, please add "I896" to the models you search for, this model is missing.
- If the heimdall guy is reading this, on OSX I get "Tar header contained and invalid file size" for every package I try to open.
