Does anyone know why I can't do a factory reset? I'm coming from stock MII and CWM just hangs at clearing data. Doing a battery pull is the only way to get a response again. This happened to me going from MI to MII as well. I just skipped that step but wanting to know why it won't work so I don't have any problems in the future. Thanks.

I have run into a problem for the first time in my ROM flashing experience.

Was trying to go from M2 to M3. It got stuck on the Mosaic loading screen and stayed there. Tried to pull battery and got same thing. Tried to go back to M2 through recovery, but now I am stuck on the M2 Mosaic loading screen.

Not quite sure how to get out of this. I have tried clearing everything and factory reset and still end up back on the Mosaic loading screen.

Any ideas?

Use New Excal 1.2 No Voodoo Kernel? or X'Cal's JVB 1.2 no No Voodoo Kernel?

Hey peeps!

I am coming from Phoenix 8.0 and trying to install Mosaic III and I have one question which seems to be unanswered so far. After restoring Stock Gingerbread:

i) when flashing the x'cals reoriented kernel, the instructions do not say that the user must re-enter download mode if the user did not turn off Odin, and did not disconnect the phone. So, with the Cappy screen asking me to "Select locale", do I go ahead and select the pit file, the reoriented kernel, de-select repartition, and press start with Odin without re-entering download mode?

Thanks.

Yes, just make sure you follow the directions (clear cache/dalvik and such).

Yes, Icezar are a folder for it (I believe).

You will have to remove the swype in the MosaicIII.zip which is in system/app and take the one from continuum and put it in. Reflash and it should be fine (make sure it's the same fw).

After Installing Stock GB, I can't flash Mosaic III via CWM

After Installing Stock GB, I can't flash Mosaic III via cwm. Here's the error message:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/XXXXXXXXXX.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I have wiped the Dalvik cache, wiped data, factory reset, renamed the zip (made sure it is not zip.zip), made sure the zip is at the root directory, but nothing seems to work. I have searched the dev forum and didn't find info on this error.

Around the web, people seem to only suggest downloading the zip again and re-flashing. I'm now downloading the zip (but it's going to take 45 minutes). In the meantime, is there anything else I should do?

Thanks for your help everyone. Copious notes are being taken.

I flashed the Mosaic III rom onto my AT&T Captivate this afternoon... and now it is stuck at the spinning 'Mosaic III' Logo. It spins for a while, goes to a static looking screen, then goes back to the Mosaic III spinning logo.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I can say with 99.99% certainty you won't need a new phone.

You'll likely just need to reflash - make sure you did the steps in the 2nd post of the rom thread (factory reset, cache partition wipe, dalvik cache wipe) prior to flashing. Make sure you've Tibu'd before that.

Can anyone who is more knowledgeable confirm this?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansonmi:
I asked this question in the Mosaic thread but was told this was a more appropriate area for this... sorry for the "book" I just want to make sure things are clear.

I am thinking of going to Mosaic III from Mosaic II and was looking at the change log and noticed that Mosaic III is based on the JVH framework. Now, everytime I go from one release of a rom to another (phoenix and now Mosaic) , I always return to stock before going to a new release. In the case of Mosaic, I return to stock GB using the guide in the Mosaic ROM thread and them flash the new Mosaic rom (I know that I don't have to do this, but I like to keep things fresh and minimize the possibilities of things going wrong).

In the directions for returning to stock GB, it says to flash using the xCal's I9000_G.1.1_novoo kernel. That kernel, to my knowledge, is a JVB kernel. Since Mosaic III is a based on JVH framework, I was wondering if when following the instructions on returning to stock GB if, when I get to the point of flashing xCal's kernel, i can use the I9000_G.1.2_novoo.tar file instead of the one that the instructions say to use? I was told by studacris that I can do this but it would cause a "bootloop" and I can enter into recovery and just flash Mosaic III... I am not sure what is meant by "bootloop" or if maybe he was thinking I was asking something else because the question was not clear...

I was also windering if there is a benefit to or even if it is totally necessary to going to the JVH kernel with Mosaic III. The only reason I am really asking is because I am not sure if it matters if the framework for the ROM and Kernel have to be the same.

Any help/explanation would be appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S. studacris, I do not mean any disrespect to you by posting this here or saying that maybe you may have been confused. I just did not understand what you meant about the bootloop thing and am not sure if how I asked the question in the other thread was clear or not and did not want to post another question there that should be in this thread... i have the utmost respect for everyone that works/takes part in this awesome project/team and would not intentionally mean any disrespect at all.

Yup, I was using the correct function (i.e. "choose .zip"). I re-downloaded and tried again and things seem to be working now ... except TB will not restore my user apps. Doesn't even see them. I think I'm on my own for solving this one. Thanks for the guidance everyone!

PS - And I STILL cannot play non-DRM mp3s on any of the music apps. Woe is me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
Follow the directions to get on stock GB, flash the xcal kernel the instructions tell you to, then flash Mosaic.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
No offense taken I will even clarify for you. I9000_G.1.2_novoo.tar is a jvh based kernel, stock gingerbread is jvb, if you flash that kernel while on stock gb and boot it will only play the bootanimation over and over and over, a bootloop, you can either grab I9000_G.1.2_novoo_JVB.tar or use the kernel in the instructions and not even worry about the bootloop issue at all, or flash the jvh one then boot into recovery right after and flash mosaic. Either way will work you just need to be on any xcal kernel and the kernel in the rom zip will be there after the flash.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
Not at all weird... look at the files.. there will be multiple flies per app. So, didn't you originally say that tibu wasn't finding any apps? If so, how do you know there are 114? :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashyford:
I apologize for not being clearer. TIBU initially did not show any user apps that could be restored but showed 114 system apps that could be restored. I thought that was weird.

After a reboot, TIBU showed 50 user apps that could be restored -- and I restored most of them -- with data. No problems so far.

I was having issues getting the zip to install in CWM. Stock would install with no issues, but it would hang at the installation. I managed to get it to work by downloading the ROM from a different mirror and a few more reflashes. The funny thing is, the error wiping that file only occurs some of the time. I had attributed my difficulties to the error, but maybe it was just upset it was Monday...

If I may ask for interests sake (feel free to abbreviate), what causes that error?

A bit confused

I haven't flashed a custom Rom since my HTC Magic. So, I just want to ask a greenhorn question here to make sure.

Currently, I am on 2.2 I897UCKB1 that has been rooted. I was under the impression that the safest way is to flash back to stock 2.1 using Odin one click, and then start from there. MovileTech's video on how to flash GB Roms is a bit different than what is on Mosaic III's instructions.

Could anyone hold my hands and tell me how to flash Mosaic III after returning to stock using Odin One Click?

I appreciate it.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Look at this.

This comes from the 2nd post of the Mosaic dev thread, and it should be helpful.

You'll probably also need the files listed here. This is the second post of the M3 dev thread, just get the files from the "FILES YOU NEED" link.

Once you're on stock Gingerbread, you should be able to use CWM to get from there to M3.

If you need more help, just ask - it's a little bit of a harrowing experience making the jump to Gingerbread, but as long as you "read twice and flash once", you should be in good shape.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visitador02:
Thanks. I see that Mosaic III is now JVH. So, I should be using the I9000_reoriented_vG.1.2_novoo.tar Xcal kennel. Correct?

Thanks again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
As far as I know, you're partially right. I'd flash using the files under the "Files You Need" first, and then worry about implementing the kernel you mentioned.

Biggest thing to remember is that once you get past the flashing of the boot.bin and sbl.bin files, you're pretty much in the clear.

Just make sure that prior to doing any of this you've backed up all the files you care about onto a storage media that is not physically attached to the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
That's the kernel thats included in the rom. As long as you flash from cwm2 that's the kernel you will have after you flash. So just use xcals kernel thats included in the stock gingerbread steps and you'll be fine.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
That all sounds right to me (but someone who knows more would have to confirm that). Just to be safe, I'd do the factory reset/cache partition wipe/dalvik cache wipe mentioned as well before flashing.

To be even safer, I'd go back to stock GB before flashing.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChikiBujia:
I am not very well versed in Android development, so I am taking the liberty to share my own "guide for dummies" (I am the dummy) in order to maybe make it easier for some users, and avoid the same questions clogging the thread for the more advanced users.

Mosaic III comes with the reoriented JVH Kernel.

The Talon Kernel CAN NOT be overwritten by this already included JVH kernel, which is why we are asked to flash Xcal's kernel before flashing the ROM (Xcal is the dev who makes the reoriented kernels, and his kernel is currently the only JVH released kernel).

Mosaic I and II were JVB, Mosaic III is JVH, therefore, we can't use Talon's JVB kernel with Mosaic III.

COMING FROM TALON WITH EXT4 ENABLED: BEFORE flashing Xcal's reoriented Kernel, Switch back to RFS. You can do so with the Ext4 app that Existz posted on the OP section of the Talon Kernel (first post). NEVER flash Xcal's kernel while still on EXT4!!!!

Now, which reoriented Kernel should we flash?

Since MOSAIC III comes with the JVH reoriented kernel, we can flash Xcal's JVB NO VOODOO kernel, that way we won't run into problems with the current JVB ROM we might be running. (remember this is my guide for not very advanced users).

Why NO VOODOO? because it is a lagfix, and just as with EXT4, we can't just yet flash ROMs and kernels while it is enabled.

I recommend flashing the NO VOODOO version because it is extremely difficult to disable Voodoo lagfix (or Ext4) with the voodoo app :(

Once you are done flashing Xcal's reoriented kernel, your phone will boot up (here is where you would get a bootloop IF you are running a JVB ROM and flashed Xcal's JVH kernel, hence the suggestion to flash the JVB kernel).

Download Mosaic III and go into recovery.

Clear dalvyk cache, cache partition, and factory reset (this are safety measures, to avoid any future problems).

Flash the ROM, reboot system, enjoy!

If you go into About phone, you will see that the JVB kernel will have been in fact replaced by a JVH kernel. :D

I really hope this helps clear a lot of questions.

MOSAIC is by far the best GB ROM out, I HIGHLY recommend it, you will not regret it!!!!!

This is not directly related to the Rom, but I want answers from the people in the forum I "Know"

I cant shake the sleep deaths, they started again after flashing M3

I dont think the Rom has anything to do with causing it, my phone has simply proven itself too fickle.

this morning it was off again, and I have had to turn it back on multiple times already.

it wont stay on for longer than 30min, if left alone

I wiped all caches and stats, I even formatted /sdcard

so this is happening when all software has been changed, it is not related to anything in the OS/Rom

who did you call?
