[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddunleavy2:
Is it too late to change my name to FUBAR?

So made a TWRP back-up of my phone.

I did the wipe

I loaded Cyanogen 10.1 but it just cycled at the Cyanogen splash screen for about 15 minutes.

I pulled the battery and tried it all again.

This time I did it via the ROM Manager.

I did a backup to Clockwork Mod recovery

I wiped

But now NADA -- Just the White HTC screen.

I can get to the Bootloader screen but when I do fastboot it comes up saying No image found.

Methinks I backed up something non-existent and then flashed back to that non-existent or empty ClockWork Mod.

Is the white HTC screen symptomatic of a hard brick or soft brick?

Thanks for your response.

As the saying goes "Experience is the best teacher because it costs to much."

By hook or by crook I will NOT be a noob forever :D

Thanks again all - Be Well

Are you S-On or S-Off? If you are S-On, did you fastboot flash the boot.img?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddunleavy2:
I dont what S-On/S-Off is.

When I fastboot it says no img found.

I can't find my card reader but I'm pretty sure, nay hopeful, that all the images I need are on the SD card. So at this point I believe that I just need to find a way to bootload off my sd card. But I can't do that just using the phone alone because my phone has no OS on it at this point. It's just a device.

The more I write about this, the more dumb I feel :eek:

Thanks again all
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILA:
So you are S-OFF, right?

TWRP has some problems flashing some ROMs... I recommend you to flash 4EXT recovery and try flashing the ROM once again.

Yeah, you haven't bricked anything ;)

TWRP should be able to flash the stock rooted RUU. From there install 4ext recovery and from then on install what ever you want ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddunleavy2:
Don't know what S-On/S-Off is. Don't know how I know if I am or not.

Havent figured out how to flash anything because my phone is just a device and no OS. All I get is the HTC white screen. When I go to flashboot it complains that there is no image. Everything I've tried from just the device has come up nil. Not restore factory settings, not anything from the bootloader menu. The device not connected to anything is poo-poo platter.

Assuming I need to find out how bootload from an image loaded on my computer with the device attached via my cord.

Again, once I can get the phone to boot off an image from my computer connected via the cord I'll be good to go.

Thanks again for the replies. Be Well
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILA:
Ok, power off your phone and pull the battery.

Now put it back in and turn the phone on pressing the power + volume down button.

You will enter the bootloader. (the white menu)

Wait for everything to load up (eta. 15 sec).

On the top left corner you will see if you're S-OFF or S-ON.

If S-OFF navigate to recovery

After that perform a FULL wipe (look it up) and flash the rooted WWE RUU (stock ROM)

Your phone should now work, just reboot it.

First boot takes a bit longer (eta 15 min)

When booted, download and install 4EXT recovery (look it up).

When done, you can flash anything that you want ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddunleavy2:
Ok -- I got it back using my TWRP recovery. So now I have the phone back but still can't figure out how load anything new. My phone sucks because I get some stupid lag when I close any program.

Tried to load cm10 but it says I have to flash boot.img since I'm not S-OFF. I unpacked the zip file but the ROM Manager cant find that boot.img. I guess it needs a .zip file. I'm still back to square one. I'll keep reading but if anyone wants to help a brother out and guide me along with my S-ON phone I'd appreciate it. Be Well.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Wait, the ROM Manager isn't what flashes the boot.img. The boot.img is in the ROM zip.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddunleavy2:
Got that but I'm reading everywhere that since I am S-ON I have to flash the boot.img.

This is so MF'in confusing and there is nothing anywhere that is a comprehensive overall guide for

A) Unlocking a phone

B) Rooting the phone

C) Creating a backup

D) Installing a new Rom.

There is snippets here and there across multiple sites and threads but trying to make sense of it all is making my brain hurt.

Thanks for checking in and replying.

Have you read the Ace Think Tank thread? I'm in the #AceRoot Freenode channel and feeling oddly nice today, so if you need help, stop by.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kao1994:
thanx so much I want to know. :laugh:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IBeKay:
When they say flash the boot.img file they don't mean to flash it using your phone. The command comes from your computer while your phone is plugged in. To do this you need to have Android SDK tools with the fastboot batch file or easier thing to do is to get the ace-tools. If your willing to flash cm10.1 pm me and i'll give you a little tut or just head to the Ace Think Tank Thread. Glevitan put a whole pdf up for newcomers to the phone

[General Questions and Answers] syedshahzadraza:
Hi,

I installed CyanogenMod 7 on my Samsung Captivate a few days ago. But since TV out did not work, I decided to roll-back to stock using the method defined here: youtube DOT com/watch?v=UDtxnH4lFuk.

I used ODIN 1 Click Captivate 2.1 Stock JF6 Firmware to roll-back to 2.1 (URL: mobiletechvideos DOT com/blog/?page_id=186)

But ODIN stopped at factoryfs.rfs.... I also tried some other ROMS using ODIN like Darky's, but nothing worked. Another important thing is that my Windows 7 64bit does not recognize the samsung captivate any more. I tried Vista and XP as well, but nothing works. Sometimes it picks the driver sometimes it doesn't. I also installed Nexus S driver but ODIN does not recognize the phone when Nexus S driver is installed.

The phone goes into download mode, and that's it!!! It does not turn on at all. Since I have two samsung captivate phones, I always use completely charged battery but the phone is not starting at all. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

p.s.:

1) I am using completely charged battery.

2) I have tried all three operating systems: Vista, XP and Win 7

3) I have tried it on a laptop and a desktop, but no success.
[General Questions and Answers] donharden2002:
I had the same problem. I ended up sending mine to an xda member to have it repaired.

Before going there try going to ponack.net and look for the returning to stock post and download the odin to stock version there and see if that works. If you get that to work then look for super one click root in the captivate forums on xda.

These are the steps I followed the 2nd time I decided to flash stock from cm7. I know, didn't learn my lesson the 1st time.

If this doesn't work then get in touch with connexion2005 here on xda or at mobiletechreviews.com his name is Josh. He is a great guy and does great fast work. He will be able to fix it for you. Its not free but well worth it, much better than buying a new phone.

Hope this helps. Best of luck to you.
[General Questions and Answers] donharden2002:
Also, try a different port and another cable to see if that helps.

Forgot, next time post in the captivate q/a section. You will get more support that way. I dont think the devs look in this section very often.

With the whole problem of privacy invasion and what-not, I don't think this should really surprise anyone. computer techs can take over your computer and go through anything they want from anywhere in the world, a good example of this is when you call Brighthouse (cable and internet company in FL) and tell them your modem is acting funny, and first thing they want to do at 7am is start going through your computer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Trust me when I tell you that they're not going to notice whether it's s-off or not. They'd have to be able to:

A. Get to the bootloader (they can't remotely, and they can't without a display)

B. Restore the display and boot the bootloader and look. That would mean they would actually have to look for it, because it's just not that noticeable a deal...when the phone gets refurbed it will be completely reflashed at the ROM level and no one will likely ever see it was s-off in the first place.

...and if they DO mention the S-off just play dumb. They can't prove you did anything to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasongthang:
And when you're in bootloader, there are no signals going to or from the phone, correct? I'm just thinking if they utilized a terminal emulator or something and were able to reboot to recovery. But that would be pointless, because it would drop the connection.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Better to run the RUU and re-root it later if need be (they're likely to give out a refurb that needs to be re-rooted anyhow). The ruu will update the bootloader to the correct version for the ROM you're on. it just won't change s-off to s-on. There's probably a way to flash the s-on zip in recovery through adb, I just don't know how to do it and I'm too lazy to search for it. ;)
