[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixbuf:
Glad to hear you've had success. From now on I wouldn't go back to stock. Going back to stock means reloading the boot loaders, which is potentially the most dangerous step -- if it gets interrupted you've got a hard brick and have to send the phone to samsung or MobileTechVideos for repair.

I just flashed two ROMs today: Continuum 5.4 and 5.4.1. The first was a "wipe", meaning everything on the phone (apps and data) get wiped. So, I backed everything up with Titanium Backup, transferred the ROM zip file to the phone, rebooted into recovery, and then did this (my recommended procedure for wipes, or for other ROMs too if you want to be real safe):

Select wipe data/factory reset

Select wipe cache partition

Select advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache

Select Go Back

Select Install zip from SD card

Select Choose zip from sdcard, find the ROM zip file, select it, select it again, install it

Reboot system

Then restore all your apps and data ("missing apps and data") but (NOT system data with Titanium Backup. Then enter your google credentials again, etc.

The second flash was a little bug fix that icezar1 and existz put out in a hurry. It was not a "wipe" install, so I just flashed it in recovery without the factory reset or anything.

I've found that wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache is perfectly adequate. I only flashed back to stock when I did the initial install on Continuum the first time.

I just installed 5.4.1 over 5.1 today and that's the exact procedure I used. I've flashed several froyo roms exactly that way and always been successful, but for some reason the gb bootloaders gave me some hell at first. But I'm loving 5.4.1 now, so smooth. Definitely a daily driver. However, my battery hasn't been the best today. My phone's been on from a full charge with light use for 8hrs and im at 26 percent already. Did a bump charge after installing the rom, then wiped battery stats in Recovery. Gonna give it a day or two to fully test it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
DudeVee, what would you say you should have done differently to avoid having this happen in the first place? I'm pretty close to trying this so it would be good to avoid having to post my own similar thread...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] othermark:
I'm having the same problem on continuum, I'll be trying this. Do you have a pointer to the original posts where other people were having this problem? I guess I'll troll the gr-12 thread some more.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbisme33:
TuneIn results in needing to pull the battery

I realize this isn't really an install question, but I figured it'd be better than posting in the main Q&A thread as this is Continuum specific.

With all versions of Continuum I've run that use the Talon kernel (tried 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 test 11), I've noticed that TuneIn streams fine for 5 minutes or so, then stops and the phone is lagging so badly that I can't even force close the app. I had tried switching to the xcal kernel, but the battery life was awful. This is a great ROM and I'm wondering if anyone can offer advice.

Thank you for the help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingzoidberg:
Works great, only one problem

Thanks for all the help installing the rom. It is amazing and battery life is great. However I have noticed when I am listening to Doggcatcher if I turn off the screen the audio becomes muddled and stutters. I was wondering if anyone knew what may be the problem and how to fix it. Also wanted to make note that Listen and all of my other audio apps work fine, just Doggcatcher (have reinstalled and still having issues). When I turn the screen back on the stuttering stops, checked the memory usage and one time Dogg was in the red on usage (Does the processing power drop when screen goes off? Just an idea). Just wondering, thanks again.

Captivate (Continuum v5.5)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] implodeme:
My heart stopped. This may have happened only to me but unsure so I am sharing the experience.

After flashing the kernel the phone appeared to enter a boot loop when in fact the kernel and boot loaders were actually working their magic. This process took over a minute to complete, closer to two minutes.

The symptom of impatience was because not seeing this go into CWM right away I would attempt the reboot again which would fail again and again.

Subsequently download mode would never work.

With this experience and regards to instructions in this section. on the installation thread. Insert some patience listed below.

Flash this kernel (or any other kernel with CWM3) with ODIN in PDA section with Auto Reboot option unchecked

Pull out the battery and disconnect the cable after ODIN said "RESET"

Reboot in recovery using Volume UP + Power button

INSERT PATIENCE HERE

Install Continuum from sdcard.

I used Talon 1.6 JVO kernel for this step.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxRabbit:
The problem is the Talon kernel. You may want to try a newer version, or just switch to Xcal's kernel here.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingzoidberg:
Do I need to reflash the whole rom? Or can I just flash the new kernel all should work well. Just wondering if it's worth my time to do the whole process if it just has one tiny bug. Thanks alot.

Captivate (Continuum v5.5)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxRabbit:
You only need to flash the kernel. However, because Xcal's uses CWM2, I recommend that you download the .tar of the kernel you want (if you use novoodoo, make sure you are on RFS; it doesn't matter what your file system is if you flash the voodoo version) and use Odin 1.3 to flash, following Cezar's method:

Trust me, it's totally worth your time. Backup everything, but I've never had a problem losing anything while switching kernels. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbobtk:
Mic not turning on

Hi Guys,

I am having problems with the 5.5 continuum where when I slide the answer button to answer a call I can hear them, but my mic doesn't get activated. Sometimes it works fine, but more often than not it doesn't work. When making calls or any other activity involving the mic it works with no problems. Could anyone please tell me how to solve this?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingzoidberg:
Ok I tried just using the updated Talon (just loading it with odin) and it threw me into a boot loop. So I reinstalled the whole rom with the new Kernel and it worked. However still having the issues with Doggcatcher. I am now going to try the Xcal kernel. However I don't want to screw this up, as I tend to do. Just checking that I should use the JVH based kernel due to the fact that Continuum 5.5 is JVO based and the post says "* JVB kernels are not compatible with JVO (JVH kernels yes) *". I didn't see a JVO version of XCal. Does my logic sound right? And also every time I flash I lose my apps and data. I back up but it is a pain in the ass. Any way to avoid this when just flashing a kernel or am I doomed to just backup and restore every time. Thanks again for the help, you all are life savers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yes. Jvh based for jvo.

Ummm you shouldn't lose any apps or data from a kernel flash...are you perhaps doing a factory reset, or using a .pit and repartitioning?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingzoidberg:
I used odin to flash the kernel and rebooted. It threw me into a boot loop. So I put into download mode and reflashed the kernel, without booting I used cwm to reinstall continuum. Did I do wrong our was the bootloop a fluke? Thanks again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbobtk:
I found the problem to be with the screen black out. When I answer the phone and put it straight up to my ear the screen blacks out and it doesn't enable mic. But if I slide to answer and wait one second it activate mic, then I put it up to my ear, the screen still blacks out and everything works fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbobtk:
I updated to later version of Talon and this black out not enabling mic problem has gone. But I now have some major battery drain even with wifi, bluetooth and data turned off at all times.

Sweet. I can not wait to update. CM7 runs perfectly off my Sandisk Class 4 8GB card, so even if they have blocked rooting, I am still willing to update. That said, as long as they allow dual booting, rooting should always be possible.

Dual booting from SD card is wired into the hardware, there is nothing they can do in software to stop it.

Will Rooted NC get the update?

I have rooted my NC.

I followed instructions for directly applying update with no luck.

Am I correct that the rooted NC will not receive update and that I must return to stock before I can get the new update?

PS If this is true, what is it about the rooted NC that prevents the update?
[Nook Color General] snopkeen:
kernel version?

Can anyone post the kernel version after the update please?
[Nook Color General] skeeterpro:
I would suggest flashing back to stock, re-register then applying the update from B&N. (That should remove the root) That what I am doing for a few people at work. Will report back on progress but logically that should work.

if your 1.2 update fails, check the MD5 on the file against this one. If it is different, your downloaded update file is corrupt.
[Nook Color General] daz655321:
If I am rooted on just stock 1.1 using one of the autnooter methods what can I do to just flash back to stock and lose root. I saw one thread in the developer forum with a stock 1.1 zip file and figured I could try that. I do not mind losing root as I haven't really been keeping up with all the different roms being released lately and will be using it more for just reading books. Here is the thread I am referring to:

Stock 1.1 file works

I was rooted on 1.1 and installed the stock 1.1 file you refer to.

All went well and I was returned to stock 1.1.

Followed Barnes and Noble instructions for the downloaded update and file was recognized as soon as unit went to sleep.

Installation happened automatically and now I am at 1.2.

The kernel is 2.6.32.9... the os is froyo.
[Nook Color General] timmyjoe42:
I tried to install the update over an Autonootered 1.1. All that happened was the device rebooted and the update.zip file was deleted from the nook. I presume that I need to flash it back to an original version and then install the upgrade. I was hoping I could just layer this update on top of what I have so I wouldn't lose apps that are already installed. :(
[Nook Color General] RegLinUsr:
If you have not modified anything after Autonooter, simply following the directions in the 'Flash back to clean stock ROM' wiki and you'll be presented with an out-of-the-box booting NC. After that, simply follow the 'Manual Download Instructions' posted at the Barnes & Noble website to update your NC to the official new stock v1.2.0 ROM.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
If you're having trouble updating your NC with Unrooted Stock like me then here's what you need to do. You'll have to reflash to Factory Defaults.

Perform Step 1, Method 1; then Step 2, Method 1

http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM

This Reinstalls Stock v1.0 to System partition and then wipes your Data and EMMC partitions. You must perform both steps otherwise it won't work correctly.

Start up Your Nook and follow the Setup. Now download the Update ZIP and drop it on your EMMC's root. Tap the Power button to put the Nook to Sleep. Now Sit back as the Update is installed Automatically.

I stumbled accross this by accident last night when flashing Malice. If you are like me you tend to odin to stock before flashing a new rom series. So when I flashed Malice last night i pulled my sd card, i got over eager and forgot to reinsert it before i went through and reinstalled all my apps with titanium. Dropbox decided to install itself on the internal sd. I know this is super simple but i thought i would share.

Cheers
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Still working when you put the sd card back in and download something?

I imagine it would download to external.. would be very cool if it didn't.

I know some people care about this. Nice find.
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
so far its downloading to the internal even after reboot and reinsertion of sd card (ext still has dropbox folder from before). I imagine that once there is an update to the dropbox application that it will resume downloading to the external, but for the time being this is convenient.
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
Since i last posted there was an update to dropbox, as long as you unmount the external before updating dropbox will remain intact on your internal.
[Vibrant General] SimeonAS89:
I also noticed this as well. I know when they updated the app it went back to the external but with the beta they in their forums on dropbox.com its on the internal drive. So, I think it just depends what version you have?
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
im using the regular version, aslong as you unmount the external prior to updating or installing you should have no problems. so far its been running successfully on my phone for around a week.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Mine is saving to the internal now too, freaky.

[Vibrant General] s15274n:

I either did not read their changelog or the app just has an odd way of deciding where to save items.

[Click General] TattooOwner:
I've searched the forums without any luck. Anyways, I have a question about root and recovery. Yesterday I rooted my phone using a guide from the unlockr. All went well and my phone is now rooted. I want to install a new ROM on my phone and I keep reading about installing "recovery" before the ROM and I'm not sure if I've done that? Is there a way to know if I have installed the recovery or not? :confused:

Oh wow I'm stupid. On the guide it says I now have root access and a recovery image. My bad. But now I have another question; If I don't happen to like the new ROM is it easy to just go back to normal, like factory settings?
[Click General] charlesdg:
First Question

It's quiet easy.

- If you have rom manager installed, you have clockworkmod recovery installed.

- If not, try to power on your tattoo with the touches "home" + "power" until you go on the recovery. If you go on the recovery, you got it! ;-)

Second question

Before flashing a rom, do a Nandroid backup in the recovery so you can restore to your current rom with all yours data.
[Click General] TattooOwner:
I have the clockwordmod recovery v3.0.0.5 and I started the phone by pressing home+power and I hit the "Backup and restore" option but there's no "Nandroid backup" thingy, all I see is "backup" or "restore", is that the same thing?

I'm running a backup right as we speak.
[Click General] charlesdg:
Yes! the backup & restore menu are the nandroid backup & restore...
[Click General] TattooOwner:
Okay, thanks! The backup is done and I'm now copying the clockworkmod folder to my computer, and soon I'm gonna try flash the nFinityGB rom :eek:

cross your fingers! lol
[Click General] TattooOwner:
Well, I copied the nFinityGB.zip-file and put it on the SD crad, but when i try to start it in recovery mode it gets stuck on "Tattoo" on the screen. What am I doing wrong? lol
[Click General] charlesdg:
to install the rom, you have to go in the recovery. did you push home + power buttons as well during the boot?
[Click General] TattooOwner:
Yeah I did, I fixed it though by doing the root thing again, dunno why I couldn't start the phone in recovery mode. I have the nFinityGB rom now though, looks pretty awesome :D

Thanks for your help btw!
