[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkknight2k3:
Before I begin I know I'll be slammed for loading an incompatible ROM for my phone, dumb on my part, especially without a clockwork backup.

I was running a leaked 2.2 rooted, which when loaded removed clockwork so i could no longer take backups. I then followed pathikshah.com/blog/install-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-samsung-galaxy-s/ which I know says don't use for captivate, but I didn't read that.

I am now running 2.3.3 but my back button is not operational, it flashes when pressed as normal but completes no action. My home button however acts as my back button. My menu and search buttons are normal.

I do not have the 3 button combo capability as i once had before, the screen just stays black and the buttons light up and it stays like that till i battery pull.

Other than that and some crazy screen distortion of colors when it boots it runs fine from what I can tell. But I'd like to at some point get back to a stable/compatible ROM.

Please let me know how I can somehow get to stock or a stable ROM. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
You only option may be to buy or make a jig to force download mode then you can flash the stock ROM using Odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supaphreek:
erm, im not 100 % sure because i havent tried this yet... but if i read it correctly, your rom is still (somewhat) operational. So try installing rom manager, flash cwm, then reboot into recovery.

From that, you can install the 3 button fix. Then i would suggest going into download mode, flash back to stock 2.2 using the odin back to stock. Then you can begin the process of installing 2.3.3

Also, the problem with yours is, you installed the i9000 version which for some reason has that button mapping problem. There are 2 versions of 2.3.3 on this forum (Cyanogen Mod 7 and MIUI). You can use either one of those, the buttons work perfectly and i dont see anything wrong with it.

Oh and, as the above person said, if my method doesnt work, you can either buy a jig, or build one yourself. There are threads in this forum about both :D. Also, please refrain from using I9000 stuff unless you fully know what it does. Im not much of a modder myself which is why i only download stuff from the captivate dev section. :D

Hope i helped :D

P.S... youd only be slammed if you didnt know what your problem was and blamed someone else for it. This forum is to help people :D

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
adb reboot download!

also see if odin sees the phone when the screen is black, if you say buttons light up the phone is on, could be a problem with the image used in download mode. i once had this happen after a bad crash on the old manhatten project kernel. the splash screen images got corupted and it wouldn't boot passed a messed up lookin splash screen. thought i fried the video chip and went to flash back to stock. the screen stayed black with the 2 button + usb cable combo but odin showed the yellow box. so i started flashing and halfwat through the little guy with the shovel poped up. i was in download mode but my screen was black do to corrupted splash screens. phone took a flash and went back to normal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkknight2k3:
success

Thank you all for your help. I ended up building a jig out of 3 100k and a 1k resistor and an igo adapter. Tore it apart and built like jig and like every end to a Macguyver episode the crazy contraption worked like a charm. Funny thing is I loaded stock 2.2 ROM, which in turn bricked the phone. I got the phone ! computer logo. So I used the jig again and got it flashed to stock and up from there to Cyanogenmod 2.3.3.

Thanks again everyone.

"If your tablet bootloops…Also may be required to get market running correctly on some ROMs...

Press and hold the power button to shut the device down. Boot back into Clockwork. Select the advanced option at the bottom, then go to “partition SD card”, for the first option select 2048, and for the second option select 0. Then, redo steps 7-10. This erases all data on your tablet, including backups."
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
But first... switch to decaf and get some rest... ;-)

Panic doesn't help.

It might actually be powering up but staying in APX mode. I've seen one do that. If that's the case you can still nvflash it back to normal. Let it charge for 15-20 minutes and leave it on the charger. Try to start it up and see if your pc can see it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
You maybe got the bootloop because your tab had sleep death while syncing. Was the error you got by chance something like process.acore? If so that is a classic error that happens after syncing contacts, sometimes there are empty contacts with no data that make the tab go nuts. Simply deleting the bad contacts solves the problem.

A simple wipe data/cash/davlic would have been the first place to start. Breathing helps when stuff goes wonky.

If you can get it to recovery a repartition is totally necessary. Deffinetly... and maybe some whiskey ....

Good luck.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badtypist:
I'm so sorry, guys, I didn't check off the subscribe notification, so I didn't know that anyone had written.

cdavisccs28, I didn't do that while the tablet was boot looping, but somehow it went from bootlooping to complete death. :confused:

K J Rad, it wasn't charging, and wouldn't boot. [And you can probably guess, I tried numerous times.] :D

Mantara, the death in the middle of syncing certainly didn't help it, and, as you suggested, might have been the last nail in the coffin. :o The whiskey suggestion was funny! Actually I, personally don't drink, but as you might have deduced, I'm a carrier. [AKA: I've been told that I drive people to drink.]

spike378 & filterking: Yup, I think you are both correct. How I managed to spike from "excited as a schoolgirl" to "completely tanking" in less than 24 hours amazes even ME! [And I know me, and am used to me! I think that was a personal record!] :rolleyes: [If I don't laugh about it, I'll cry!] :(

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Same problem. I booted the device up, and connected it to WiFi. Then it gave a popup where it asked to update to the newest version. I said okay, and let it do its thing. Then it restarted into a bootloop. So, I turned the device off, and tried to turn it back on, except -- nothing. With the USB plugged in, it's not recognized by the computer at any time after I press the power button. I've been trying to get it to boot for an hour now and it's still just sitting there with a black screen. Not even a backlight is showing. Anyone know of any solution? Or is it time to ask for an RMA from Woot!?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badtypist:
h.nocturna, WOW, you didn't even get to the part where you started doing everything and anything (in a frenzy) to get it to work properly! That might be a good thing, h.nocturna, because you haven't voided your warranty! :D You might need to send it to Viewsonic to be fixed (since it messed up while you were doing their update), but at least you can do THAT! I mailed my brand new brick to my son up in college and gave him this site, and told him to have a blast, and do whatever he wanted with it.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
badtypist,

I wrote you a fix last night and when I went to save it the Forums had been shut down and do it didn't save to post --

and I had been on the road and was exhausted and just couldn't stay up long enough to redo it if and when they came back up. Sorry.

You simply needed to find one solution and then let us get down the procedure to follow to fix it.

Several people in the past have gotten to the point where you were. I read two fixes.

One was some people were able to get the tab to start again by playing with the

power switch -- hold it for long, long times and then press a short startup, etc. Somehow they got that to reset and start.

Somewhere else in the forums -- and I have never done this with either of my tablets --

there are a few threads where someone in this kind of situation opened up

the tablet card and simply unplugged the battery for 10- or more seconds. There also

is a reset button inside the case as shown in an old thread where someone opened a

G-Tab up and took pictures.

If any of those three choices get to where you can either use power / volume - to get

into NVFlash more ---- or to where we can load CWM -- then you are in fair shape.

LOTS AND LOTS OF BOOT LOOPS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PARTITIONING. Simply

getting into CWM and re-partitioning to 2048 and 0 and then using CWM to "Fix

Permissions" will get it working. CWM also will let you wipe the cache and wipe the

factory data, which sometimes will allow and NVFlash to come on up and work right.

You see, we were not dead by any stretch.

You might pass this on to the recipient of the tablet.

Also, so many people are trying to do so much that is over their heads -- and so many

people are borking their tablets -- that this site and the folks that can help -- just can't communicate. Sad day.

I wish you luck. Hope this helps.

out for good!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badtypist:
Hi Rev! :-) Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I TRIED to get back to you sooner, but I think this site was down, because it kept timing out and wouldn't let me get to the site OR the conversation thread! I tried a few times, then tried later, and now just tried again! :)

I think you guys are getting BLASTED with desperate lay-people from the over 10,000 tablets sold on Woot who have "borked" their tablets. (That's a funny word, Rev! I hope I'm using it properly! And please note, although the WORD is funny, the actual situation is NOT funny!) :eek:

Yes, I mailed the offending frustration-linked object to my son, and can't "take it back," but perhaps I will beg for and borrow enough money to try again, sometime soon! If I do, I will come back here again sine I feel I have bonded with the wonderful, sharing folks on this site. (I'm a she, by the way, not a "he.") I admire (okay, worship) the folks who help us lay-people out so we don't sit alone crying and trying to power/Vol+ in solitude!

I've read your other posts previously, Rev, and you are so wonderful to help us n00bs! :-) So please remember "badtypist" (hopefully with good thoughts) and when you hear my name again, let's hope it's to say... THIS TIME I ROOTED IT CORRECTLY!!!! :D

Thanks again, for your time, Rev AND the rest of you, which wasn't wasted, because I sent my son this link and he will (in his spare time) read through it to fix HIS new tablet. :-) [I think he kind of liked that his mom messed up! :rolleyes: He got a VERY expensive new toy, if he can fix it.] :cool:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzzzard:
Gtab Update Problems

So, I would agree with some of the posts above. I would also point out that you have two options (or some combination of the two):

1. Try to return the tablet, or put in a warranty claim (the warranty specifically does not cover modification\rooting)

2. Try to fix it yourself

I tend to choose #2 f I think the chances are better than 50/50 in my favor. Also, if the hardware is okay, you can have it fixed in 20 minutes.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
The experience that the OP went through is EXACTLY why I discourage newer g-tablet owners from rushing in and flashing alternate firmware to their tablet. I am often chided for this recommendation, but I believe that it is unwise to modify a brand new tablet.

If you still want to mod it, you should have a backup plan. I save my update file to an external USB drive. You should then be able to re-install the stock update by placing it on a microSD card. You need to rename it to update.zip, and add a file that tells it to look at the microSD card for an update. I am a but fuzzy on the specifics, but that file is named "command", and I found it somewhere here in the forums.

As I plan on modding my newer woot tablet (or maybe my older Sears one). I will first set this up, and will work out the details.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badtypist:
wasserkapf, you are probably right about not jumping in with both feet for us n00bs. And I most certainly don't mean to be disrespectful in ANY way, but I have a (serious) question... if I'd kept the tap-n-tap and played with it for a while, how would that have changed things for me if I eventually decided to root it to a faster, better OS? [I'm not meaning this sarcastically, I really want to know what I'd have to learn in order to change the results I had, in case I ever do this whole process again, or in case others out there are (hopefully) learning by my mistakes.] What would you suggest lay-people should be learning about the gTab BEFORE attempting to root it? [The answer to this question wil help a LOT of folks!] :-)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
buzzzard,

I have always understood -- and I don't want to know bad enough to spend the time

researching it -- that the warranty is void when you load non-standard software.

And even if it were not, I have real questions about messing up a computer and then

taking it back to the seller as if it were faulty. Seems to me there is a dishonesty

component in that equation.

I think modders SHOULD accept the risk that they can trash their tablets -- and that

if they do then the loss is theirs.

Rev

P. S. -- I've tried to say this much without starting a flame war -- if you do I won't

answer you and will ask the moderator to close and hide the thread.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
For one, this will give you time to read up and learn more. I can tell that you are confused by all of this. You don't "root it to a faster OS". Rooting is a method to gain root privileges on the tablet. To you windows users, root is the equivalent of Administrator. There also is only one OS available for this tablet, and that is Android. Some have made modified/customized versions of Android, but it is still Android.

There seems to be the misperception that you have to install a custom firmware to get root privileges or Android Market access. This can be done on the stock firmware, and then makes the tablet much more useful.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badtypist:
butchconner, I know you weren't talking to me, but I am taking full responsibility, and am hoping my son can resurrect my gTab, and I DO hope there will be no flaming, as well. ["There's no need for flaming. It's unsportsmanlike, kind-of rude and unproductive," said the mom to all reading this thread. So please don't flame so this won't get deleted for other poor people who "bork" their gTabs.] :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
badtypist,

wasserkapf was around when I got my first G-Tablet -- when we were all getting started last November.

You have no idea how bad the software was back then and the things we had to do to make things work.

It wasn't a question of 10 different ROMS and whether it was fast or not -- it was a question of making it work.

But I agree with wasserkapf (and I don't mean this comment particularly at you ) that

people are trying to do too much to fast. In addition to being a minister, I also was

an exec in the IT field for 30 years. I learned to read the docs, to move slow, to make sure each step was

successfully completed before moving on, to test things that

I'm not sure of -- and a whole host of other things that IT people use to operate their

company's systems without crashing it and losing data.

I helped a guy along the way who said he was inexperienced and that his tablet was in

the same kind of situation yours ways. He had gotten his G-Tab, charged it up, and had loaded EVERYTHING he could find on it.

Three or four different ROMS including an

experimental ROM he had been warned was risky. Yet he was having to ask what

recovery was and where to look for files and other basic questions.

I think everybody should get their tablet, upgrade to the latest version of stock, install z4root and

Titanium Backup and learn to use them, then install the latest version of Angry Birds and whatever useful software they need -- and then enjoy

that for a while while they learn the ins and outs of modding.

I help people because of the kind of person I am and because I am retired and have

some time to devote. But I also will be honest and tell you this -- I don't suffer

obnoxious, foolish people well -- and there are folks I just don't help because someone gave them good advice

and they didn't listen........I help folks who need and deserve to be helped.

The alternate ROMs are nice. And it's neat to add market and other useful stuff to

your tablet. But none of those kinds of things are so important that they are worth

what some folks do.

Nuff said. I don't respond to flames. And when you have been helping people as long

as I have, then you can have your opinion.

Peace,

Rev

Hi,

I have downloaded many themes from this site and I really love them. However, personally, I like to mix some of the best from each theme into one new theme for my Vibrant. Can someone show me a way to do that? Detailed guide is highly appreciated. :P . Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buru898:
I think there is a guide somewhere but take the themes you like, open the .zip file and under system/framework take out the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk and use winrar to open those 2 files and each will have 1 folder FULL of .pngs.

Then you take out the same .apk files you have from the current rom you're using and get those same 2 folders that have the pictures... then drag and drop and overwrite what you want. Then you'd just replace the folders from your edited framework-res and twframework-res and put them back in your Rom apk files then put those in our phones system/framework with root explorer or adb..

That's a rough explanation sorry :/

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vito Andolini Corleone:
First of all about the battery issue, I would recommend you to wipe the battery stats via xrecovery. That should help you out on that account.

But like I said, it shouldn't cause any problems.
