Have done that as well. Just realized I cant flash back to stock since my computers will not recognize my phone! Im sure there is a way to fix this but it certainly stinks! Things have went so well I have rarely had issues to troubleshoot. I am downloading 5.4, will try it. Any other ideas?? The issue began after I applied the newest talon kernel, copied the service.jar file in. I then factory reset to see if that would help GPS and its been downhill since. I have flashed 5.4.1 again, then 5.5 and factory reset. 5.5 again with no factory reset, 5.4.1 again...then 5.5 again and done all of the suggestions thus far. I can get into download and recovery but cannot get the computer to see the phone. It will charge though.

Tried multiple computers that have worked hundreds of times since i got the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] othermark:
This is key since you wont end up in MTP mode under download mode. What probably happened is as soon as you installed the new GB rom/kernel the computer(s) installed new usb drivers it thought were right and now won't recog the device because of this.

Plug it in normally after phone boot up and check the device manager in windows usb devices , you probably have a yellow caution symbol indicating the driver failed to init/load properly.

If that's so you'll probably have to continue on the normal path of clearing out the device drivers and re-install the drivers again on both laptops.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Will download the drivers from this post and try that too.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will report back.

Have you tried putting the phone in download mode using the volume and power button combo, making sure Odin is running and then plugging in the phone? My PC is having issues recognizing the phone as well but Odin always seems to see the phone if it's in download mode BEFORE I plug it in regardless of whether the PC sees the phone in any other circumstance. This would allow you to use the one button return to stock or regular Odin to flash kernels, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] me_is_rushin:
Hopefully someone knows the answer to this.

Last week I flashed from Froyo to 5.4.1 and I used TB to backup all my apps without data as I believe that messes things up.

Now that I plan to go from 5.4.1 to 5.5 can I backup all my apps and data?
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
I had USB problems when I installed 5.5. On my laptop I uninstalled and reinstalled the Captivate version of Kies Mini (just for the drivers). At this point the phone was not visible in Windows Explorer. Then I went into Device Manager and found an entry for Android phone, right clicked to get to properties and selected "reinstall drivers". In the setup I chose find drivers automatically. It came back with GT-I9000 and then the phone was recognized by the laptop. As others have said, make sure USB debug is off on the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
Yes, tun.ko is in /lib/modules

I have unistalled OpenVPN at this point until I can further troubleshoot where the problem(s) lie.

I found this tidbit on another forum:

I'm willing to try this as it seems to confirm my thoughts about the routing problem. But I'm not sure about that mount command for RW... is yaffs2 used in C5.5? I thought the default was rfs. Can you, or someone, either verify that the above RW mount command will work in terminal, or do I need a different command string?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
Thanks for the tip. My GPS was inconsistent so I flashed Adam's GPS Fix (I'm on Xcal's kernel so I was able to use CVM2) and so far, it seems to have completely straightened out.
[Captivate Android Development] GSMinCT:
Is 5.5 more stable? I've had a lot of issues with 5.3, I kind of feel like going back to Serendipity, at the expense of the supposed texting fix in 2.3.2.
[Captivate Android Development] ComputerChuck:
Not sure about 5.5 yet, but I am extremely confident in 5.4.1 with Talon test 15 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] othermark:
The samsung devices use rfs for /system , you can see this with just the output of the mount command. The droid devices probably use yaffs. That mount command would not work. You could transcribe it with just using what you see in the mount output for /system on your currently running system.

I don't think you would hurt anything trying this unless you ran out of space on system and you could always remove the bb directory if it didn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I have tired all suggestions so far with zero success. Starting to freak a bit.

If I open ODIN and force download mode nothing happens.

If I put it in media player or keis I can sometimes get the phone to say connected MTP application but the computer says "the message one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it". I have went into device manager and uninstalled it as it was showing up as an unknown device.

Before all of this I uninstalled the samsung drivers and reinstalled.

There has to be a way to fix this but Im seriously losing it at the moment as I dont see what else I can do. Unless the damn computer will recognize it I cant go back to stock or frankly do much of anything.

Oh, I also downloaded 5.4 and tried it too with zero success.

Help please!

EDIT: I did notice something odd just now. Even with USB debugging selected Titanium backup said it wasnt.
[Captivate Android Development] nfsplayer99:
Wow so I upgraded to 5.5. Previously had the charging bug (charge overnight and somehow end up with like 30% in the morning). Still have the charging bug.

So last night I went to bed and left my phone off the charger, it was around 90%. This morning I wake up and my phone is dead. WTF. I don't know how the battery life can be that bad that it can't sustain 90% while not even in use.

I looked at the battery use and it says 85% was from Dialer. Does that mean my phone was making calls all night or something? And how do I fix this? Seriously considering flashing another rom since I can't even use my phone with this one -_-
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
OK no need to panic, I read back a bit but am a little lost with your predicament and not real sure what you are trying to do, so lets start off with a little checklist , some of these may have been covered already,

1) factory reset your phone and reinstall your rom through CWM, I assume you still have the zip on your internal sd, if you don't thats pretty asinine

2) uninstall your drivers from laptop and wait till your phone re-installs itself

remove from your PC's/laptops all traces of drivers and software related, and download and install all new and up to date drivers and software for your PC,

These may have been covered already but it never hurts to try again.

A few more things that may be culprit,

*check to make sure in Super User that the connections are allowed they may have gotten disallowed,

*Try a different USB hub, I have a hub on my laptop that has corrupt drivers and I'm too lazy to fix it so I just can't use that hub for my phone, I have to use the other one

*Your cord may be faulty I also had problems with this one, luckily ebough through the 3 phones that I had to get I got to keep all of them, 1 is broke, 1 is hsorted, I only have 1 left.

Lets start by checking these off first then we'll work towards other solutions

I have the same issue, but my android OS is about 80%, master clear => reup ROM but it's still draining battery?

Some one help. SR for my english
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Thanks for your response. Here is what I have done so far in relation to what you suggested.

1) I factory reset my phone and tried reinstalling continuum 5.4, 5.4.1, and 5.5.

2) uninstalled samsung drivers and reinstalled them. Problem is the phone and computer does ZERO when in mass storage mode. Well, it charges but thats it. If I put it in media player or keis the phone will say connected but nothing happens in windows most times. Sometimes it comes up and says "one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned".

3) I do not know how to check superuser as you suggested. I open the app and I do not see a place to specify what you suggested.

4) I have now tried every USB port on 3 different devices and multiple cables which have all worked fine in the past up until last night even.

Everything was working great until I installed the latest talon kernel (RC) and replaced the services.jar file. USB was working fine at this point as I flashed the kernel via ODIN. After that I noticed GPS was even worse than it has been with GB so I went in and did a factory reset. Upon reboot I noticed that market was now gone for some weird reason. I then tried to hook back to my computer and nothing which lead me to this issue.

I am running out of ideas and cant warranty it since Im running GB.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
EDIT: just saw your last post - looks like the issue is the PC, not the phone. Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
At the moment its freaking working! I went in to device manager, found my device which was listed as unknown device, manually selected the samsung driver, rebooted and now it is working. I had done this before and nothing....twice as a matter of fact. Weird....I appreciate everyones help and hopefully this is the last of that issue.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I just realized a step I left out. When I shut my PC off after uninstalling the drivers, I decided to switch my file system to ext4 instead of rfs. I booted into recovery and switched to ext4 and then rebooted both the PC and Phone. I had tried the driver several times previously but this was the first time I tried switching file systems. Not sure what that matters unless rewriting made a difference with permissions or something.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
What program are you using to make these adjustments? SGS force closes when I select gps in secret codes.
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
I'm not harping on you but more using you as an example, this is why when discussing problems for others to help with a solution you need to be VERY thorough in detail. We can only help with what info is given to work with. Granted I would not have thought that switching file systems would have caused this issue either. As far as superuser this has caused me headaches in the past, It would pop up to allow or block and accidently I would hit block and forget about it, if it was there you would have seen it trust me.

There was no need to panic, there are many seasoned veterans here that can help solve almost any problem, just be patient and do exactly as they ask.

I'm using nitrality from the Market, similar to SGS but has updated codes for GB, like Angry GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
Thanks for that info. Unfortunately when I would try "busybox --install /system/xbin/bb" it resulted in an "Operation not permitted" message, even when executing as su.

BUT, I decided to try a different way. Since it A) it appeared from my reading that OpenVPN Installer in its current incarnation is hardcoded to look in /system/xbin/bb for ifconfig and route even though B) during installation it asks you to designate which directory has ifconfig and route, I decided to just copy ifconfig and route from /system/xbin to /system/xbin/bb. I then ran OpenVPN installer, designating /system/xbin for the executable and /system/xbin/bb for the ifconfig/route files.

Then under "Advanced" -> "TUN Module Settings" -> "Path to tun module" I entered /lib/modules/tun.ko; then under "Load module using" I entered insmod.

I then invoked my configuration and got a connection. But when checking my ip it once again remained the same. So, I checked netcfg and saw tun0 was still down. I then went into terminal emulator, and issued a "ifconfig tun0 up" command. VOILA! All is working correctly and has survived reboots.

I don't know exactly what I did or know if this will be of any help to anyone else, but there you have it.

[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I agree with what your saying, unfortunately my posts about it spanned several pages so it made it harder for those coming in at the end to help and get that level of detail necessary. I feel I was pretty clear in my initial few posts but your absolutely correct....detail is everything and that is a great point for all of us. That is a reason I followed back up with my post about changing file systems as, yes its odd, but I feel it made a difference and hopefully will help someone else if they run accross this issue in the future.

I came to the right place for assistance in that the few times I have had odd issues I have gotten help. Thanks to everyone that made suggestions, its a great community here.

Making a 5.5 nowipe? Stuck in a boot-loop

I'm running (or was) V5.5 and I had updated to eXistZ' test17R2 kernel. I was having a few intermittent problems with bluetooth, WIFI not turning on, etc. I decided to try XCal's reoriented V1.2 kernel again to see if the problems would be resolved. I used ODIN 1.3 and flashed the kernel (the same file I've used previously). I never changed to EXT4 while on the Talon kernel (so still RFS).

I know better but I did not do a full backup first - yeah I asked for it.

Anyway, it never finished booting (15 minutes and kept boot-looping). I eventually decided to try getting back into recovery, clear dalvik cache, cache, and battery stats (just in case) and then flashed the Talon kernel via ODIN again. I've tried talon test 15, 17r2, back to XCal, etc - nothing finishes booting.

My thought at this point is to possibly take the 5.5 zip and turn it into a "no-wipe" version and flash it after flashing the talon kernel again. I tried opening the 5.5 zip and went to \META-INF\COM\GOOGLE\ANDROID\UPDATER-SCRIPT and commented out the lines below to make that section the same as the 5.4.1 script. It errored out with a status 6. Any suggestions? - Other than "Be more cautious next time and do a full backup first"...

I have previous backups. The main thing I don't want to lose is that I have Good for Enterprise that will stop working if I revert to an old backup because it will be out of sync with the server.

delete_recursive("/system");

#delete_recursive("/dbdata");

#delete_recursive("/cache");
