[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verfassergeist:
Ah, but the ROM I'm coming off of, is JVQ based. Pick one and hope for the best?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
If you just flashed stock gb, you won't be on JVQ anymore. Flash stock xcal's kernel and then you should be have the right recovery after that.

It should be mentionned in the name of the file which xcal's is for stock. Actually should be the lowest in the list.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
actually it doesnt matter what kernel you flash as long as its gingerbread...if its imcompatible it will just bootloop but your not gonna be using that firmware anyway its just a stepping stone.

so uncheck "auto-reboot" in odin and after the flash boot into recovery and VIOLA cwm
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verfassergeist:
Ah, but it won't boot into recovery. -.- It just loops the Samsung screen.

I'm just going off the Mosaic instructions. If there's better instructions out there, I'd appreciate it you send it my way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You are powering it off and holding volume up and power to boot recovery correct?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verfassergeist:
Yup. Getting that feeling that fuzzy feeling that I need to flash to JF6. :rolleyes:

EDIT: Still getting the Android 3e recovery when it does boot into recovery.

DOUBLE EDIT (FOR SCIENCE AND JUSTICE!): Ha. Okay. So. In order to get to CWM coming from 2.3.3, one must hold the volume up and power until the screen turns on, letting go of the power, but still holding on to the volume up key. It'll flash the Samsung splash once or twice, and then it'll boot into CWM. No idea how that happened.

A little help

Today my Captivate's power/lock button stopped working (it's stuck), so I have to return it to Samsung. The problem with this is that my phone is rooted and running Mosaic. Since I can't do anything in recovery (I can get there, but I can't do make any selections), does anyone have any advise on how to get back to stock before I mail this in?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Put it in download mode and use odin one click to flash it to stock
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
If you can boot, use the extended power menu to get it into download mode. Or you could use adb and use the command 'adb reboot download'

Good luck.

Would some one mind posting their usual amount of ram used and free? I usually have about 275MB used.. is this normal? Reason I'm asking is I'm getting the "page loading every single time" problem when multitasking again. I've searched extensively and can't seem to come up with a fix so I suspect that my ram is becoming too full and can't keep the apps cached
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You have indeed wayy too much ram being used. What kernel are you using?

Also, you should go in your running services and turn off everything that you know you don't need to be running. I think you have too many apps/widgets running all the time.

I have 135mb used. that's with watchdog, G+, widgetsoid, FW pro, Advanced task killer widgets running.

Now if you have ram tweak (like on Talon), that # my be off for you.

OK guys. I've got quite a few questions. First of all, I'm using the Killer23D rom that was created *way back* in December 2010. It's Froyo and I really like it, but I'm reading and reading about GB roms and I want to try one. I've looked at Serendipity VII and this Mosaic one and I just want to know a few things first:

1. Where do I find what modem I'm using?

2. I don't get how to "start" odin... on my computer? On my phone? Where?

3. I don't know which method I should use for odin. Should I use Haikaido's 1-click method?

4. Is there any video of this version of Mosaic being flashed? I would love to see one - or at least step-by-step screenshots

5. Does Mosaic still have the stock Captivate alarm clock on there? I use it everyday and I love that I can put my own song (Izzy's "Somewhere over the rainbow :-D ) to wake me up.

6. Since I'm using a Froyo rom, what are the exact steps to get a GB rom? I've been reading tons of posts but I'm still a little confused and wary to flash a GB rom.

7. I don't know which way I should get my phone into download or recovery modes...?

Thanks to everyone who takes time to respond to posts and for all the members and devs. Thanks in advance to responding to all my questions.

Summary of steps to go from Firefly to Mosaic

Hi Everyone,

I have done lots of searching and reading so I hope I don't ask redundant questions.

I am on Firefly 3.0 with Speedmod K13E. I would like to try Mosaic.

Here is what I have come up with in order to do this:

1. Backup all user apps (only) with Titanium Backup.

2. In CWM, disable EXT4 lagfix and any other lagfix tweaks I enabled.

3. Wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, factory reset

4. Follow instructions on this thread to restore to stock 2.1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364

5. Re-root

6. Re-install CWM

7. Install Mosaic

8. Enable lagfix

9. Restore apps

I am sure I have it wrong somewhere in there. Can any of you be so kind as to point out where I erred?

Regarding backup of apps on TiBu

Hi guys,

Sorry this question might be too trivial but I don't want to lose my progress on Angry Birds :P

When shifting from 2.2 to 2.3.3 the first step is to backup data and I'm trying to backup the Apps on TiBu. On TiBu i see options like 'Backup All User Apps', 'Backup All System Data' and 'Backup All User Apps + System Data'.

I know I shouldn't be backing up System Data because they're different architectures so should I be selecting only the 'Backup All User Apps' option?

If so, while restoring my backups which option should I select? I see 'Restore All Apps with Data', 'Restore Missing Apps with data' and 'Restore Missing Apps + All System Data'

If I choose 'Restore All Apps with Data' will I get all my Apps and the data related to the Apps back?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
Definitely start with the OP. It tells you which version of ODIN you should be using and what steps you will need to take to get to GB. Wolf already answered about the modem so come on back with questions once you've been through all of that stuff. I know its a lot, I didn't flash for months after I rooted my phone until I had read so much I was cross-eyed.

If the alarm you use is in Clock, then yes it is in there. I personally use use Alarm Clock Plus v2 but I think it is there.

Another quick question: After doing odin 1-click back to stock, this will flash it back to 2.1 right? Then do I need to do ATT's update to 2.2 or can I just go straight from stock 2.1 to GB 2.3.x rom?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
Correct, it will take you back to 2.1 (Eclair). No need to move to 2.2 because you will be replacing the bootloaders.
