Another update. I tried booting the phone (JF6) without the external SD inserted and it goes into the identical boot loop that it was doing before. When I reinsert the external SD it will boot, but it won't mount it.

All of these problems must be stemming from an inability to mount the internal SD card. This would also make sense since this all started immediately after I used doubleTwist sync to put a few gigs of music on after flashing Cog 4.3. It must have corrupted the SD some how.

Any ideas on fixing it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beny The Kid:
Did you do anything to your phone after you went back to stock? Reinstall any backups or anything?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beny The Kid:
You said that when you had Onix loaded up that you formatted the SD card? Did you try to repartition it as well. You might try and flash Onix again, reformat the sd card and then repartition it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharden:
Nope. I haven't touched the phone since I got it to boot.

I just tried master clearing and it seems to work and does a factory reset, but when it boots it immediately sends a notification saying Internal SD removed.

I'll try using Onix again. If I can't find any Captivate specific advice on this problem, do you think it would be worth starting a new thread on the topic? I think I might have better luck finding help if I condense everything I've done so far down into one post.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beny The Kid:
Worth a shot. If Onix with the format and partition doesn't work, then a new post in the Q&A section could help.

Wish I could have been more help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharden:
I flashed back to Onix, formatted the SD and attempted to repartition. It says an error occurred and dumps to /tmp/recovery.log. I pulled the log and attached it.

I don't really know what to make of it, but I'm hoping someone here does.

Since RC1, I've not been able to acquire a GPS lock. I just flashed RC3 and still have the same problem. No GPS icon is in the status bar and GPS Status cannot pick up any satellites. I've flashed Nightly #21 over my RC2 to get the GPS working, but I would like to keep RC3 as the nightly kept rebooting..

Has there been any fixes? Did a lot of searching but did not come up with an answer. Please help!

What apps do have installed on your phone that are gps related and what app do you use first to check your gps after you boot for the first time?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hogg2500:
I have posted this before, this usually works for me:

I have found that if I leave my GPS ON before I flash a new nightly or ROM, that it works fine. I have only ran into the GPS issue a few times but that was because I had it off before I flashed a new build. Never messed switching RADIOs or anything.

Here is what I have done to fix issues:

-If I flashed a new CM7 Gingerbread ROM without GPS ON prior to the flash, I usually go back to CM6 and turn GPS ON and then reflash the CM7 ROM and it works.

-Yesterday had a strange issue though, I went to Flash a new CM7 nightly and sure enough I forgot to leave GPS ON. So I went back to CM6 and tried to turn GPS on and it didn't work. So I then Flashed one of the MIUI ROMs and that still didn't work. So then I tried Flashing the newest Nightly from CM again and it worked very wierd.

That has been my experience with this GPS issue. Some how I have managed to fix it myself without too much trouble. Hopefully this helps people with these issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
He said "GPS Status", so he likely means GPS Status & Toolbox.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGS1231:
Yes, I use gps status as the above user said. I just tried reflashing rc3 and it didn't work. So would I have to go through the entire process mentioned above?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
I have noticed that just about every person having gps problems uses gps status. Uninstall gps status, reboot your phone into recovery and wipe the cache and then wipe the dalvik cache. Then after your phone reboots, go to applications (all) and clear the data for Maps. Then open Maps first.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGS1231:
Uninstalled and did exactly what you said. It is still not working
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
You could try flashing RC3 again now, but you're probably going to need a full wipe/format. If you decide to do that, be sure to format system and format boot in mounts and storage of Recovery. Wiping data/factory reset doesn't touch the system files.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGS1231:
What does format boot and system actually affect? SD card will not be affected, correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
Format system and format boot insures a complete clean install.

From the CyanogenMod Website:

Instructions:

First time flashing CyanogenMod 7 to the HTC Vision, or coming from another ROM?

Root the device and install ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions are available here.

Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.

Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.

Perform a factory reset.

Flash CyanogenMod.

Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

correct...there is a separate option to format the sd card.

I did not get to do all the steps because I wanted to revert the radio back to .26 after flashing and using the .27 radio for some time. This did it for me. The GPS icon showed up in the status bar and everything worked. People should really try this method!

Thank you, regardless, for your help Edkeys! +1
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznsnake666:
So you reflashed to .26 and things worked? i have .26 and it dosnt work for me =/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chompipe:
Try reflashing your ROM and immediately reflash your .26 radio (The OTA TMO radio) and this should fix your GPS problems. It took me 3 days to fix my GPS after trying every other possible fix and this did it. Try it and let me know.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZombieUsr:
The only thing I did was flash back to my original stock nand and then back to cm7rc3 and get 100% gps lock. Only way I've been able to get it to work. Hoping it sticks when cm7 official comes out
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGS1231:
What I did was reflash RC3 first with the GPS on. Then I reflashed the .26 radio cause I was using .27. Try all the methods above, and I hope it works out for you cause I know it sucks not having a working GPS on your SMARTphone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlenH:
I had the same problem of gps not working with CM7 (RC2 and 3).

The notification bar symbol wouldn't even come on, never mind get a lock.

I fixed it by flashing the 26.08.04.16 radio (was on the older 26.03.02.26 radio before).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravityrat:
This is driving me crazy. I have tried EVERYTHING I could find in everyones posts and I still can't get my gps back.

I even flashed back to the stock ROM and it won't even turn on there either.

Any other tricks? Or am I doing something wrong.

my radio right now is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would love to have my GPS back.

I did this for RC1 and had perfect GPS, I just noticed with RC3 and RC4 my GPS issues came back so I'm about to try this again. This post from the original RC1 thread really saved me.

Worked great. Running RC4. SWEET!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravityrat:
Just fyi, this fix worked for one day. Tried following the same procedure and now gps status toolbox force closes.

No more gps again. :-/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit275:
Yeah, it used to be a permanent fix with RC1 but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore...not sure what's going on :(

Why is it also that only a few people seem to have this problem? With the early nightlies before RC1, GPS was perfect, somewhere along the way it broke and has never been the same since.

Sometimes a reboot fixes it and it works...but I'm not really sure about it. It really should be more stable than this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
I really believe that gps status is causing many of the problems. Does anyone know if that particular app makes permanent changes to the system? Also, is there anyone that is having recurrent gps problems that doesn't use gps status? I'm just going by observation but I see a pattern with that app.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmcsc:
I doubt it's GPS Status. My GPS wasn't working before I installed the app; isn't working with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] db1911:
Yeah, my gps doesn't work with CM7 RC2, and I never had GPS Status installed. I need a solution to this issue as well, or I might have to go back to my OEM install.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravityrat:
Yeah, I sure wish CY could fix this or anyone else for that matter. I even went back to stock rom and its still broke. WTH
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
the annoying thing is that GPS works with all of the sense based roms that im using but ever since i had RC4 flashed with any lastest nightly it just is broken. you think it would be more solid with the more "stable builds"
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
well WTF. i installed GPS status and toolbox just for ****s and gigs, used it and thought nothing of it and uninstalled it. right after i got a lock on my navigation..what a pickle eh?

It wasn't like this before., i'll try the solution on pg2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If the Sense based ROMs you are using are Froyo based, those are usually more stable than CM7.

Gps fix

Ok.. i too struggled to fix my gps issue (gps didn't work), i tried playin with gps.conf settings, tried a different *.so, etc.. what seems to be the issue is how aosp builds interact with the hardware, somethings missing that is in oem builds.. ex) gps refusing to toggle back on if its off between flashing aosp builds, phone being unable to read sim id, sim phone number, sim voicemail number (this is why some antitheft apps fail on cm or miui, because it cant read sim). Anyway, the solution for a gps fix is to toggle gps on, reboot into hboot, and REFLASH your radio, you dont have to change radios, just reflash it.. for me, it works.. reboot, toggle gps off, then back on. And you now have gps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravityrat:
Pardon my ignorance but do I reflash my radio with CWM or a different process?

Might fix GPS

So i am coming from Samsung Galaxy Spica to the desire z. In the galaxy spica there has been a problem after rooting the device.

Solution - I am from canada and by default gps is locked to North america but that's gonna take forever to have a lock on right ? so what i did is edit the FIRST LINE gps.conf file in /system/etc. I use Root Explorer for this so i recommend everyone to use Root Explorer

I am not responsible for whatever is going to happen to your device. You Are Doing This At Your Own Risk!! Please ask question if you don't understand before attempting

With that being said You can find your own country at this weblink below (can't hyper link that cause i don't have enough post yet, you just have to type the 3 w's in the beginning =="

pool.ntp.org/zone/@

So normally for me i'd see this in my first line

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

after editing (cause i live in canada)

NTP_SERVER=ca.pool.ntp.org

SAVE AND EXIT

so in short use Root explorer, go /system/etc and find the gps.conf file, edit the first line , save and reboot aaaannnnd see if that helps =)

It worked for me so i am hoping it'll work for you

......nobody has really developed a half decent video editing app for the HD2 running Windows 6.5???

Even a simple one that allows you to snip your video clips down, join several clips together and to make one movie!!!

TrakAxMobile do one that looks quite good but the only phone they don't support is the HD2!!!....can you believe it!!?

A simple video app that could do that would be invaluable to me when doing my hobby.

At the moment I have to take several small videos, extract them from my phone, join them on my PC and then upload them to YouTube!!!

Anyone have any thoughts....?

Gaz.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
My personal opinion:

I never ever wanted to edit any picture material on an HD2 screen. No stills, nothing moving. Too small, really nothing practical. Not even to upload in a crappy quality to YouTube or whatever.

I guess the market for such an app simply was (and is) too small. One of the major reasons might be the simple fact that before HD2, there was no "serious" hardware taking "serious" movie material. And there was and is nothing after HD2 in the WinMo area.

Maybe some other user has a good tip for you, sorry...

Odd, it is still working quite well on my TMOUS version...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] droidtech1:
I have been experimenting with my new droid/milestone the past couple of days, odd problems which I am past now but still curious about.

Firstly after flashing the 2.1 sbf with rsd it will autoboot and screen slider will be there, then when I reboot, screen slider will be missing. This only happend when I flashed an sbf from the sbf site(2.1 uk version, not service), doing a factory reset didn't have any problem -could reboot as many times and slider would be there.... then suddenly after factory boot it would dissapear after first boot. Anyway solved this problem by installing screen mode widget after first boot after flash, solved problem, but still weird. Fixed this now but still curious about it.

Next, nandroid backup is missing from recovery menu, I have rooted and can execute root commands after typing "su" via Android Terminal emulator, so pretty sure is rooted. So why no nandroid? I thought I could do nandroid backup after rooting.

Next busybox won't install, tried the app, did the "searching system" for over an hour(not exagerrating), eventually gave up and uninstalled.

Trying to do a "manual busybox install" now, using this guide:

Busybox How-to? - Android Forums

Can't execute commands via usb/adb in recovery mode as the other guy suggested so been trying these commands both with terminal emulator on phone, and usb-debugging mode with windows shell. Using these I can go "su" and type "ls" to see files on my droid phone....but when I try to "mount /system" or /sdcard from windows I just get a print about mount options, when I try to "cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox" I get a "file is read only" error.

I would like advice on how to install busybox, I would like to do it manually(because the app seems to not work for me, remember I waited over an hour while it "searched") and I want to learn to manually do stuff anyway. I tried to chmod /system/xbin too, but that didn't seem to change it from read only.

Also any thoughts on why nandroid backup is missing from my recovery menu even though my droid is rooted. I thought it was meant to appear.

I am still learning and researching, and appreciate any links or tips.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tuxor1337:
This is odd. Which OpenRecovery did you install? Androidiani? GOT? Or the "original" OpenRecovery? Are you aware, that you come into OpenRecovery by starting Recovery Mode and apply update.zip?

Using the app from the market worked like a charm for me. No idea, what might have gone wrong for you...

For remounting, try "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system" and for undoing this, use "ro" instead of "rw".

You should download busybox and put the "busybox"-file in the directory /sdcard. After that do:

# su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
# cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin
# cd /system/xbin
# chmod 755 busybox
# ./busybox --install
# mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

One thought at the end: How did you root?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] droidtech1:
I rooted by flashing "vunerable recovery" using RSD lite, copied milestone-root.zip to sd card, renamed it update.zip, rebooted into recovery mode, flashed update.zip from there.

I didn't realise I had to install something like open recovery, think because I remember not having to do that on my pulse? Anyway will try and install one of those now.

Thanks those commands at the end helped, actually managed to copy busybox to /system/xbin, however the 2nd last one "./busybox --install" gave me a load of errors -all being no such file or directory, for example "/usr/bin/wc: no such file"

about 30 of those path errors. Maybe the command path "./busybox" needs to be something else?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tuxor1337:
ah, okay. sorry, I thought you already installed an openrecovery. for many cool features you will need it (e.g. nandroid, for overclocking it's not a must but a nice-to-have). please don't use GOT, it's rather old already. androidiani is okay, I think.

I think your previous attempts to install busybox via the app etc. mixed up some internal links in the device. please reboot and try again (the above steps except the "cp ..."). seems like the app tried to install busybox to /usr/bin but failed... I hope this failed attempt will be fixed by a simple reboot. otherwise it would be great to have the output of:

# su
# ls /usr/bin
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] droidtech1:
No I re-flashed my main sbf and also did a factory reset to do a clean start, only thing since that full wipe I have done is rooting in the method I described, installed the screenmode widget, textedit, and android terminal emulator.

I have no such file /usr, are you sure I should have this in droid/milestone?

Here is my full output of my root system using ls:

tmp

pds

init.rc

init.mapphone_umts.rc

init.mapphone_cdma.rc

init.goldfish.rc

root

dev

perhaps "/usr" is a sub inside one of the above folders? I tried using "find" to find it but that command dosn't seem to work since it won't even find the ones I can see with ls
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] droidtech1:
I found it, /usr is inside /system... so if busybox was moved to /system/xbin, I'm guessing the ./ means install it to the parent directory which was /system which /usr is also in.

The errors I got said no such file "/usr" so It seems like it is trying to install to the wrong directory.... perhaps the command should be "busybox --install" or "/busybox --install" I don't want to experiment and mess things up before your opinion on this.
