Always back to CWM3

Im looking for some help flashing MIUI. I have downloaded the latest Rom and kernals from the MIUI forum. I have tried flashing from stock and from a 2.2 rom following both instructions exactly (even read them aloud to myself to make sure i didnt overlook something lol) I have read and follow the Q&A and forum instructions and tried about 5 times now to install MIUI. Every time after a flash i just end up back at ClockworkMod. Does anybody have any thoughts or help as to what im missing? Im sure its just something silly that i have overlooked. Thanks for the help in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
When did you last download the rom?

Last night I had to make a new version with new instructions because people got stuck in recovery.

Redownload rom and try the new instructions, and if you do it correctly, it should boot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optilicious:
I downloaded the ROM this morning when i got up. Its the new upload and i followed the Odin install for the Kernels and zip install of latest MIUI. I will delete everything i have for MIUI and then download again just to make sure i didn't make any mistakes. The funny thing is when you had the Kernel zip install instructions up last night i was able to get MIUI running just no IMEI which is why i waited till this morning and did fresh downloads of everything as per a post in the MIUI forum. I have also tried installing and older version of MIUI but no success there either. Could there be something on the internal SD that is giving me trouble? Should I try a flash back to 2.1 and Master Clear (Master Clear is such a hassle but if its necessary). Thanks for the reply.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
Flash back to stock, redownload the rom, and try again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optilicious:
So i just downloaded all new files and followed the new instructions and i still get CWM. I really don't know what i'm doing wrong. I have flashed pretty much every 2.2 ROM available with no problems. This is my first 2.3 ROM, is there something that i'm supposed to have or am missing for 2.3 Roms.

Flashed back to stock with Odin1cick

My capi doesnt have 3button fix

Loaded stock and downloaded Rom Manager

Rooted phone with SuperOneClick

Used RomManger to reboot into recovery

Installed update.zip twice

Installed zip from internal SD 3buttonfix.zip

Opened Odin 1.7 and put Speedmod kernel into pda and unchecked repartition/restart

Batterypull on capi and entered download mode flashed speedmod

Battery pull and entered recovery installed efsbackup.zip

Hit reset on Odin 1.7 loaded CM7 initial kernel in pda

Battery pull on capi and entered download mode flashed CM7 kernel

Battery pull and entered recovery formated system, cache, data

Flashed MIUI that i just downloaded (13:30 pacific)

wiped data/factory reset

reboot phone and I'm back to CWM3
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
Don't flash the kernel zip. Just odin the initial kernel, 3 button into recovery, format, flash miui zip, factory reset, reboot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optilicious:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
Did you start over again?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optilicious:
when i was waiting for a reply i flashed Continuum 4 and then flashed MIUI according to your post #211. MIUI worked but no IMEI. I then started over from stock and flashed according to instructions in post #211 an now im stuck in CWM3 again lol. and im now back to stock
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
Go back to stock (i know). Redownload the efs backup.

Odin speedmod

Flash efs backup

Odin initial kernel

Format

Flash MIUI zip

Factory Reset
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optilicious:
Didnt work again but i think i figured it out. I think that using RomManager and 3buttonfix.zip has something to do with it. I flashed back to stock and then used SuperOneClick and RomManager to get to recovery and then 3buttonfix.zip to get download mode. Then i used Odin3 1.7 and did a stock flash with 3button fix. Now back to stock a second time and i followed the process to flash MIUI and it worked. No problems so far! Any ideas why 3buttonfix.zip caused problems? Thanks again for you help!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
I forgot you used rom manager. If you use a "reboot into recovery/download" it will mess up the install.

Hi,

I want to flash MIUI 1.5.20, but i'm currently using Continuum 5.5 and at the installation guide there were no reference to the those who are in other 2.3 (not CM7).

What should i do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optilicious:
As per the MIUI forum you must flash back to stock and then follow the instructions for flashing to MIUI from 2.1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubu123:
How do i flash back to stock???

i've installed the 2.3 bootloaders so now i can't use the 1 click Odin.

You can use Odin one click. You just can't use the one with the 3 button fix.

Email.apk

Im looking for an Email.apk with pinch to zoom. It is very annoying to have to scroll around an email to read everything. I was on Continuum 4 that had a very good email.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
The only language it comes in is English. But there is a link on the rom page for other languages that you can download.

And if you want to flash another rom, you go back to stock with Odin One-click

i don't need the interface to be in hebrew, just to support it. hebrew is RTL and not LTR

But where the heck are the MIUI Camera pictures stored ?

I hook the phone up to my computer and can't figure out where they are. If I want a picture on my computer, I have been having to used dropbox.

I use to have it store on my external SD card. but that option isn't in this camera ? Or for the life of me I can't figure out how to store on the external SD card ?

SMSs deleted after crash

Had a funny problem occur to me today. After sending a text, I got one back (I think). The lockscreen just happened to be on, it showed that I had received 6 texts (instantly, which I doubt happened. I mean, I'm popular and all...). Then, it froze up, rebooted itself and when I turned it back on all of my messages were gone.

Not a huge deal if I can't get them back as I have a backup from last week, but it would be nice...Does anyone have any ideas?

Yes but follow instructions. If you already have a kernel like speed mode you can skip that step

If you want to flash a 2.2 rom you need to go back to stock first.

Cant use power/sleep button

I have been running this rom and loving it for the past week or so and then all of a sudden, last night, my power/sleep button stopped working. when i go to shut off the phone (pull battery or use an app called system toolbox), it boots itself back up. i tried to enter download mode as well through System Toolbox but the phone boots up as normal. im just trying to figure out a way to get download mode working so i can flash back to stock and take it in.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
Do you have the cable plugged in?

The only way to get into recovery and download is to use the button method. Using any "reboot into recovery/download" will just make your phone reboot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattwilsonnn:
Ive tried with both the cable plugged in, and without it plugged in but it seems like any time the phone wants to shut itself down, it boots itself back up. if i take the battery out and put it back it, it turns itself on
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
Plugging the cable in will just cause it to boot up.

Sounds like a bad flash.

If you can get into recovery or download try flashing again or flash back to stock, make sure it turns off, and then flash again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattwilsonnn:
Thanks for the replies but thats my problem, i can mess around and get into recovery but i cant press my home button so i cant get into download mode. ADB doesnt seem to like it either
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
You don't need the home button to get into download mode. Turn off phone (pull the battery), open Odin One-click. Put the battery in, hold volume buttons, plug in cable.

Or hold volume buttons, plug in cable, and put the battery back in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattwilsonnn:
Ive been trying to get it in DL mode like that but the phone turns itself on before i can get a chance to put the power cable and press the buttons

Pull the battery, hold volume buttons, plug in cable, put battery back in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattwilsonnn:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
Are you pressing the power button?

Prior to flash did you format system data and cache?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chutes:
yes sir I did
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chutes:
this is the complete process I have been doing:

flash back to stock using Odin 1.7 with 3-button fix

Master Clear

root using AIO toolbox

sign in to google, download ROM Manager

Flash Recovery

then I follow the directions exactly as they are in the MIUI thread

am I doing something wrong?

Edit: after flashing the ROM and selecting "wipe data/factory reset" this is what it says:

E:no misc partition

--Wiping data...

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

Formatting /datadata...

Formatting /sd-ext...

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...

Data wipe complete.

E:no misc partition

is that error something to be concerned about?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Best I can tell you did everything right. you are not the first to have this happen. I would go back to stock, remember to repartition, then froyo rom, then efs backup and so on

Edit, missed your comment, good to hear
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chutes:
is it recommended to go to Froyo before flashing MIUI?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Not particularly. Just a different approach
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prototype159:
My guess is that after flashing recovery, you used the reboot into recovery or install zip in rom manager instead of using the 3 button method.

Strange problem I have been facing...

Quite urgent, please help if you do have spare time..:(

after I'd updated to 1.6.3, I found that sometimes I couldn't hear any sound from my friends while calling even though the in-call volume was at peak.

So I wiped it and flashed back to 1.5.2X... this time... the camera gone.

Although I'd switched off and on the screen many times in camera app, it just did not come back.

Then I wiped it again today... try to flash 1.6.3 again.... this time the sound problem was fixed. However, the camera was still in dark.

Is that the problem of my kernel?? What kernel should I better use?

T.T!!! MIUI eats my phone credit!

Hey, I have a problem with MIUI 2.3.4 v1.6.3 ROM for Samsung Captivate(SGH-i897).

I would suggest reflashing the rom, but if it's been doing that on several builds, it probably won't fix the issue.

The Captivate is now being officially supported (currently being tested to private testers), once it's released, it might fix the issue you're been having.

This credit is a where the carrier charges whatever services he used. It's a pay as you use thing.
