[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeOmega0:
I had been using my Captivate for a while, and used Kies mini to upgrade to Froyo, and everything had been working fine until randomly the phone wouldn't boot.

It would take forever to go from the AT&T home screen, and would lag through the galaxy s intro, and then stop.

I tried to use Recovery mode, and it didn't work, so I tried to use Odin3 to flash back to stock.

Now it won't go past the Logo screen, and recovery mode doesn't work, but download mode still does. I have tried Odin one click, and Odin three click v 1.0, 1.3, and 1.7. I've used the .tar and the .pit from Breakin' Ranh's [Guide] How to Recover a Captivate to Stock 2.1 Eclair JH7

It keeps getting stuck in a boot loop after odin, no matter what I do.

Any suggestions?

Using SGH-i897

I have to use rom manager to get to recovery on my captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeOmega0:
I was able to use a dragon rom to get it to boot, but now my phone wont give me any access to my internal sd card, and won't mount my external, so I can't download rom manager because I "have no room" Where do I go from here?

I've already tried formatting both cards, and it seems like nothing happens whenever I click on format.

stuck in the same position

I can get into download mode (only with a JIG tho) but when I go back to stock with Odin (or try to) it's just stuck in the AT & T logo screen, it doesn't go beyond that, how do I get into recovery mode, press both Volume buttons and Power button, when the AT&T screen comes release the Power button right?

Need some help please!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
you might need to flash the 3 button fix but keep trying, if you get into recovery clear data and cache. but first boot always takes a long time as it has to build delvak cache and more... try flashing again, with the 3 button fix att rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leopic:
3 button fix? to get into download mode you mean? I CAN get into download mode (with the jig) but not into recovery mode :-s

I have no idea how to flash it without being in the Stock rom, any help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
download is 2 buttons

recovery is 3 button.

some phones loose the 3 button combo to get into recovery.

in that case you need to flash the stock rom with 3 button fix.

it is for Att only so i dont know much more.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayburne:
After Odin, I was in a boot loop yesterday. I plan on writing it up in a new thread to see if someone can help me understand what happened (cause I have Odined and modded two different cappys without issue) but here is how I was able to recover.

After Odin was complete and said successful, it reboots the phone.

Upon reboot I was in the ATT boot loop. After Odin, I lost both three button recovery and 2 button download (both of these worked before Odin). I don’t have a JIG so no way of getting to download mode.

I read to try the following sequence after reading it other posts.

1.	Pull battery, sim, SD card and unplug the USB. Let it sit for a minute.

2.	Plug in the USB cable.

3.	Holding all three buttons, plug in the battery.

4.	The battery charge (grey) should be seen on the phone. After the phone screen goes black twice let go of the power button.

This worked for me once, after several attempts.

Now that the phone booted back up, I did a master clear with Odin.

Upon reboot right back in to the ATT boot loop screen.

Was not having any luck with the steps above after several attempts.

Here is how I eventually recovered.

1.	I opened Odin on the PC.

2.	Pulled the battery and USB for a minute or two then replaced it and plugged in the USB cable.

3.	After few cycles of black battery icon and spinning wheel, the batter icon turned green (like normal when you turn your phone off and plug it in). Sometimes this only took two cycles and sometimes many cycles (or a few minutes).

4.	Once the battery icon was green, I hit the power button.

5.	As soon as you see the ATT screen, pull the USB cable and the phone booted (if I left the USB plugged in, the phone went back to the black battery screen after the ATT screen).

6.	I copied the correct Update.zip and Rom to my SD card.

From here I tried to boot into recovery via ADB.

The phone rebooted but back into the ATT boot loop.

Following the second set of steps above (2-3 times), I was finally able to get into Clockwork recovery.

From here I flashed Phoenix Unleashed.

After the flash rebooted and the phone seems to be running fine now (with the exception that I lost my 3 and 2 button combos, but that will be for a different thread).

From the Power Menu, I can get into download mode or Recovery no prob.

Not sure if this is something that will work for others but wanted to throw it out there just in case.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leopic:
It never booted for me, so this is what I did

For anoyone that might find this thread, Odin 1 Click didn't work for me, so I flashed back into stock using Odin (not the 1 click version, another one), here are some links that proved to be very helpful (I ended up Flashing to Serependity 6.4):

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd5gnr:
I have noticed that some people have fairly normal fast start ups with VEGAn Ginger. Some of us don't. Mine takes over 4 minutes to restart.

I'd like to figure out why. With or without external SD makes no difference. So I'm trying to figure out what we (the slow booters) have in common that the fast booters don't.

One item. I noticed when I reflashed the "birds" logo that my BLO partition was #7 and not #6. Is it possible the slow booters have some partition that the system is looking for somewhere else and timing out on?

I can dump my partition table here if anyone things that might have merit. It would be interesting to compare a fast vs slow boot's tables maybe? Any other ideas?

Update: My theory didn't pan out or if it did, not much. I forced a reinstall on all my APKs (for loop in the ADB shell). My boot is now about 4 minutes, which is better than 7. So I guess it did do something. But 4 minutes still seems long.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mankey Magic:
I don't have incredibly long reboot times like you do, but mine definitely aren't speedy either. I would say it takes about 20% longer than a typical Vegan 5.1 boot. Only once did it boot fast. After that one boot, slow. But four minutes seems pretty egregious.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lisa21222:
I got my first G-Tablet from Woot and another from Amazon (also processed by Woot) which I have not opened. Trying to get the first one "right". My Ginger edition takes over 2 minutes to load, but the most annoying part is that the logo keeps flashing a blinding white light every few seconds, and I have to watch it 30+ times during bootup.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtabman:
Hi there,

just notice also that my gtab starts slowing down on startup once I have more apps installed. I saw this new app called 'Startup Manager' and wondering if you or anyone in this forum has tried to see if it helps.

Mine is close to 3 mins now.

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Already tried this with startup auditor. Basically, I used it to stop everything from starting except itself and android. Still takes like 4-5 minutes to start up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtabman:
Thank you for posting your result. It's just so weird that the more apps you have the slower the boot time is. When I first install Vegan Gingerbread, it booted up very quick...

Let's hope someone find the solution for this. I saw another forum talking about removing 'push to talk app', which I don't think we have it. It seems to work for phone users though.

Thanks again for your feedback.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rover442:
I've had no success using my Vulkano media player on any 2.2 ROMS. It does however, play on my EVO which is 2.2. I was able to get it somewhat work on one of the GB ROMS here, but I also need to use flash video, so GB can't work for me.

I've contacted Monsoon/Vulkano support and they were of no help. They don't support G Tab or 2.2 (even though it plays on my 2.2 phone) and state it only works on 2.1 or 2.3.

My question is, what is making it work on 2.3? Would there be a way to port this to work on 2.2 either via the ROM or a kernel? I have everything so good to go now on my G Tab (running Calkulin's ROM) except for this issue of the Vulkano. I just can't see how this player can't work on G Tab with 2.2.

Okay, my dads friend just got off the phone with att and they said that 5g will be out in may and they will be servicing all of uor eddge towers into 4 and 5g. i will believe it when I see my connection speeds but really lie to every freakin customer. I take it 5g is LTE then? Makes me wonder if they actually werent lieing..oh wait we dont even have 4g yet..duhh

[HTC Inspire 4G] drewdatrip:
Thats pretty much wrong.

However as HSPA+ does get rolled out in your area you will see dramatic increases in speeds. Currently i get about 3.8m/1.3m which isnt bad by any means, however with full rollout you should speeds around 12m/5m. Not LTE but alot faster current "3G"

Drew
[HTC Inspire 4G] netnerd:
full roullout? haha

that' another ATT BS lies! if they can rename their 3G networks as 4G, why cant they call LTE as 5G?

on att map, it shows i have 4G coverage in bayarea CA, but speedtests never go over 4mb! speedtest on inspire is the same as any 3G phones!

someone please complain to FCC about att 4G BS!
[HTC Inspire 4G] drewdatrip:
Im not arguing the semantics of 4G, im simply stating that with the proper Back haul and HSPA+ upgrades, people will experience faster then current 3G data speeds.

Yes the whole 3g 4g definitions are confusing and this is a direct fault of the telecoms

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd5gnr:
I had this in the Pershoot kernel thread but it gets buried fast there:

I thought I'd share my take on what profiles to set in SetCPU. These are totally made up so maybe there is a better way to set it up. I don't know. The idea is to save battery when possible, but in use accelerate some and when plugged in, go for a bigger boost.

Priority 100: Screen Off. 216/216

Priority 90: Battery<15% 456/216

Priority 85: Temp>38.9C 816/216

Priority 30: Charging AC 1400/608

Priority 20: Charging 1400/608 (see below)

Priority 15: Temp >0.0C 1200/312

In English this is saying, normally run at 312-1200MHz unless the battery temperature goes up, or the battery charge is very low (216-816 or 216-456, respectively). If the screen is off drop to 216/216 (plays MP3s fine). If plugged in run at 608-1400MHz.

Notes:

One of the charging ones does not work unless it is not plugged in and then it is plugged in. I forget which one.

I kept the priorities so that you'd get the slowest speed. So I didn't want battery temp up and battery life down, but I wind up with a faster speed!

I could not figure out a way to just tell it "default" so I figured Temp >0.0C would do it.

So far so good. Anyone else tried this? Any thoughts on a better scheme? Does anyone ever see the battery temp go up?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_z11:
Instead of temperature, you could use battery < 95%, use 1200/230, and when it goes below <15, it will go in your lower clock to maximize the battery.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mankey Magic:
Thanks wd5gnr! These numbers seem to be working well for me.

I took your battery setting suggestion too Rob.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvice:
A fresh flash of Tesla 1.5, booting in and then changing to "Airplane Mode On" then to "Airplane Mode Off" results in a reboot.

This is after a CMR 3.0.2.5 "wipe data/factory reset" has been performed. I was having the issue with all my apps restored from TI and decided to back up.

Next step is to go back to my pre-TC and try Sense again. If it still behaves that way there, there are more problems.

I came across this scenario when trying to resolve a 3G connectivity issue once WiFi is used. I can never use 3G unless I force a restart.

I have made a backup of the "wiped system" if that image will help with tracking the issue down.

Was very repeatable until...

I removed the battery. Stable without enabling WiFi

Enable Wifi -> Turn On Airplane mode -> Turn Off Airplane mode

Must have been something hanging on from all the flash/restores?

[EVO Shift 4G General] jdhore:
I'm wondering where all the free space is for the /data partition on the Speedy/Evo Shift.

On my T-Mobile G2 which I had before the Speedy (which is basically the same hardware, just GSM), it 2GB of ROM and /data was something like 1.2GB (I forget exactly how much, somewhere between 1.1-1.4GB), but on the Speedy, which also has 2GB of ROM, even on CyanogenMod, /data is only ~430MB.

I ran df in the terminal and came up with a total of 1067MB between /system, /data and /cache so i'm wondering where the other nearly 1GB of space is. I know there's a bit for recovery and a bit for the WiMAX keys, but that adds up to less than 100MB.

Any help/idea/thoughts would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogreish:
hey!

I'm considering getting a Galaxy S I9000 device, although I have a couple of concerns and I was hoping you guys might help me figure them out.

the thing I'm worried about the most is how will the galaxy S be in 1 or 2 years.

I'm talking mostly app wise, because from what I've read, the new high end mobiles will use dual core processors, which means special apps that run only on them, thus the galaxy won't be able to run.

I'm also worried about the support from samsung and google - is it possible that they will state they aren't supporting the galaxy anymore? samsung will say they won't upgrade the touchwiz like HTC said about the HTC Sense, and google will say the new android versions can't be installed on the galaxy s? (sorry if this is a dumb and silly question, but I really don't know what's gonna happen :))

now I know there is no guarantee in this things, but I want to 'minimize the damage'....

my main dilemma is whether I should buy the galaxy now, or wait a couple of months for the S2/Atrix/Sensation devices to become cheaper (they cost too much for me...), and then have a mobile with a dual core processor which will probably serve me longer than the Galaxy S will?

thing is, if I'll wait for the mobiles mentioned above to become cheaper I might get caught in an infinite loop, because in one year from now I might be saying the same thing about those devices......

what do you guys think? am I being brainwashed by all these commercials about the dual core processors and there's nothing to worry about, or is it really that much of a deal and I should wait a while for the prices to go down, and dual core processors is really a must in modern smartphones?

thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orodrethlars:
You can keep telling yourself "should I wait to get something better" for an enternity, there will always be something better coming out.

Most things anyone normal will use their phone for does not need dual core, atm for the common user its only for a little smoother websurfing. The power of new mobiles wount be utalized to its fullest. Mostly in games but who buys a phone to mainly play games on?

If you dont need a phone now then sure wait, but if you are itching to get something new I would have bought it now. The months spent waiting wount be worth it compared to the months you could have fun with this awsom phone :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrddral:
Like above.

If you're waiting because the newer ones are too expensive: get the SGS. If money is not an issue i would say wait for the SGS2 otherwise you'll really get into a loop.

The SGS has great memory (512mb), speedy processor (1GHz) with great 3D capabilities and lots of storage built in for apps which will serve you well for the next couple of years. It is still a top of the line device after one year.

Also has to be said: LIKELY the gingerbread will be the last official android release and no more support. But given the huge fan crowd, there will always be workaround for newer versions, thanks to many developers who are reading and actively contributing to this forum :)
