1. I read somewhere that this is permanent (meaning it will carry over even after data wipes?)?

2. If I manually enabled journaling can I flash this over it and it still be enabled?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
This sets the has_journal flag or removes it... it remains until you do something to change it, like install a no journal rom... then you would need to reflash it..

If you are journaled and flash journalingon.zip it does nothin but fsck your partition.

Is Journaling Enabled on Bonsai 4.0.1? I'm good with commands but I'm having a strange time entering the terminal commands.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
I don't know tbh, haven't used Bonsai in a long time, but I don't think so..
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
There may be a reason I'm not aware of, but I can't imagine any correlation between any file system options and phone charge time... I suppose the additional writes could use additional power, but we're talking such a small amount that it would only make a difference of maybe a minute of battery life...

Clue me in if I'm wrong, of course - my only point here is that the charging issue is most likely due to something else entirely (I second the recommendation to full charge and write batt stats)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
It is off in 4.0.0.1, but under the upcoming 4.1.1.1 release you have the option of enabling or disabling journaling via have file flashed to the SD card prior to flasing the rom. Not sure how this mod will affect what they did with Bonsai.

Man, this makes things so much easier! Thanks Chris....appreciate your hard work;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] christophocles:
I just realized that journaling was not enabled by default on the new rom I just flashed to my epic.. I discovered this after I pressed "power off" and apparently did not wait long enough before swapping the battery out. When I booted up again everything force-closed repeatedly and I had to reformat..

I have to ask the question... why would anyone _ever_ want to run without journaling enabled? Because it's fun to have your data corrupted? I just can't understand how any performance benefit could be worth the hassle and risk.

Thanks for the easy fix!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Most of the folks that run without journaling are power users that have data backups form flashing other mods. So even if they have accidental power failure, their good data is a couple clicks away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] christophocles:
Right... yeah I had a recent backup as well and it only took 20 minutes to reflash through CWM and reload all of my apps and data through Titanium. I guess it would have been even quicker if I was just directly restoring a full system backup through CWM. But still, that was 20 minutes that I unexpectedly could not use my phone as a phone because I had to restore it.

I'm not complaining about having a choice, since that's what Android is all about, after all... I just haven't noticed any significant difference in responsiveness since I enabled journaling. There must be some benefit to turning it off or people wouldn't do it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WesR6:
Wifes phone had a crazy amount of force closes. She let the battery completely die running SFR 1.1 and then attempted to get a phone number off of her phone by powering it up and letting it die multiple times... ugh..:(

unfortunaly I found this after she screwed up her phone. Deffinatly will be running this from now on.

-Wes
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Yeah, really IMO it's best to have journaling enabled until you have you phone set up the way you like it, and you know it's stable. If you know your gonna be experimenting with new mods, OC's, UV's, etc., then it might be a good idea to enable journaling. Once you know your good to go, you can disable it.

One of the things I like about Bonsai is you can choose which partitions you want journaling on or off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
So , just to clarify - once I flash the "journaling on" it will ALWAYS stay on even if I flash a different ROM ? or do I need to re-flash it again if I install another ROM ? ( I like jounaling on myself )
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
if you flash a rom that formats with no journaling you need to reflash it
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
K - that's what I thought - THX
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Is there anyway to check whether journaling is already enabled? :p

I saved it to my sd card but can't remember if I flashed it or not haha.

And I remember seeing a post saying not to flashing journaling on if already enabled

[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
All it does if you flash journalingon again is fsck the partition, wich is like chkdsk
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
First, thanks for doing this. I was getting FC issues like wild fire. Quick question though, after I enabled journaling, there is a Battery indicator in the top left corner. Anyway to get rid of it? THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
this shouldnt have anything to do with that.. it unmounts, changes the journaling flags, checks integrity, and remounts.. thats it..

Sometimes I see that with the iP4 and when i hold it by the sides (with a case on) vs. barely holding it. Could have something to do with reducing sensitivity to neighboring cells that cause carrier interference with the cell you are pulling from.

Be running currently the new bootloader

if anyone can help please I have done these actions and needhelp:

1 .- I did flash rom GB-12, now own the new bootloaders. (I did not like the rom GB-12, personal opinion)

2 .- I returned to stock (eclair) maintaining the new bootloaders(Gingerbread boot loader) with the stock rom by icezar1

icezar1ROM stock without boot loaders http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995143

thus verified that the new boot loaders are compatible with earlier versions (2.1 and 2.2)

3 .- continumv5.2 flash ROM (where I am right now)

My questions are:

as I can get stock of gingerbread without having to flash the newboot loader?.

I want to avoid being reflash bootloaders

I for example go to the rom apex6.1, [ROM][2.3.3] Perception II Beta 2
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
just flash your new rom in cwm like normal
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NEK991:
no matter jump from continuum to another rom?

only do factory reset, wipe partition, wipe cache is enough to do it?

do not need back to stock 2.3.3 gingerbread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045734

sorry so many questions, I want to be sure :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
DO NOT FLASH COGNITION!!! It has a froyo sbl.bin and on gingerbread bootloaders it will brick your phone. No question about it. Dead. A corpse. A cadaver. No life in it.

Otherwise you are good, I flashed from firefly to continuum 5 rc3, to perception 2, to mosaic (biased personal favorite). No reason to go to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
I also has a Q. So now that I have 2.3 bootloaders installed. Should I ever have to flash bootloaders again? Or at least till 2.4. Can I just del sbl.bin on what I flash?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
The only thing you have to fear is Cognition as he has the froyo sbl.bin for the 3 button fix.

Other than that, you should never have to reflash your bootloaders (beside going stock for waranty).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technoboi:
Can someone clarify something for me please?

I flash Continuum 5 and also gingerbread bootloaders usig ODIN. I followed instruction from MobileTechVideos.

My question is this...if I wanted to try another ROM based on Froyo how do I do this? Would I need to flash back Froyo bootloaders?

And how do I go about just flashing another gingerbread based ROM?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
Well you just make shore no sbf.bin file in rom by unzipping it and checking...(i don't know of any roms that still have those in then now, even cognition doesn't anymore.)... To flash gingerbread rom it is same as with froyo, I use cwm. I've heard serinity 7 is really great. So just flash as usual, but with froyo roms just be careful and check first..... BTW trance is way better than techno, just saying ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fate-Silver:
Just make sure the ROMs you're going to flash will not either flash your Primary Bootloaders or Secondary Bootloaders. Then, you're safe.

Primary Bootloader(GB) + Secondary Bootloader(GB) = Alive.

Primary Bootloader(Froyo) + Secondary Bootloader(Froyo) = Alive.

Primary Bootloader(Froyo) + Secondary Bootloader(GB) = Dead.

Primary Bootloader(GB) + Secondary Bootloader(Froyo) = Dead.

You can use the eclair one-click to get back to stock, DO NOT USE THE ONE WITH THE THREE BUTTON FIX!

Also you can just flash a froyo rom and kernal without reboot in CWM.
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
So today I was trying to updated to the latest Continuum and after i flashed it it was acting wonky. I hadn't reverted to stock in a while so i thought.. might as well.

So here is what i did

1.) odin 1 click to stock

2.) whenever i flash back to stock i lose 3 button combos. I thought well, i could try to fix it, or i can just flash the GB bootloaders which have it anyway so:

3.) adb reboot download

4.) odin flash GB bootloaders as PDA

5.) very shortly thereafter odin failed and phone rebooted

6.) stuck with Phone ..!.. PC

I have tried every possible key combination known to man. 2 button, 3 button, combinations of holding and releasing buttons plugging in usb taking out the battery, etc etc.

I even went out and made a jig. I have tried both 300k resistor to directly to the mini usb pcb and made a little usb jack with 300k attached. (i also tried 301, 302 and 303).

All of these boot the phone but go directly to phone ..!.. pc.

The only thing i'm not sure of is if the jig is actually 300k, i don't have a potentiometer to test it. The pack of radioshack resistors i bought though did have 5 in it, so i tried various combos of them in-case one was flak.

Is there anything i didn't think of yet? I'll try to take my jig to a potentiometer on tomorrow (work is conveniently located on the way to the ATT store) and if all else fails i'll take it to att and see what they can do.

Is there anything i haven't tried that i should? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate General] neubauej:
You arent bricked with that screen.

Try power and vol down.

Failing that, take batt out, plug in usb, then batt.

Still doesnt work?

Buy, or make a proper (tested) jig.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
If you power the phone off then connect your jig, and all it does is try to boot the phone as normal then you have an improper resistance. You are most likely changing the resistance when you hold the jig with your fingers. Try holding it with gloves on or something, or order a microusb breakout board to solder your resistors on to.
[Captivate General] studacris:
This

Duck tape where your fingers are gonna touch.
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
Well. I was masking it with scotch tape like i saw in an example. I rebuilt the jig with 3x100 and 1x1 and wrapped it in duct tape. still boots to Phone ..!.. PC. I'll get to a potentiometer tomorrow and make sure it's got the right rating.

I also ordered a real jig, but it won't be here for days.

So.. is there anyone out there who has gotten the Phone ..!.. PC screen and _not_ been able to recover from it?
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Highly doubtful.. that's the "**** your pants when you first see it" screen but everyone manages to recover from it eventually, unless they have some sort of hardware problem.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
whoh... you are missing some "K" in there you got Kohms right?
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
Haha, yes. I was just typing fast. They are the same 100k and 1k ohm resistors most of the tutorials i've seen get from radioshack

make sure your tape is covering the jig completely. Even the tiniest amount of contact will interrupt the resistance.
[Captivate General] dverse:
Speaking of bricking, mine wont turn on at all, its ****ing dead. bought a JIG and ill wait for it to come and try my luck, buy a new one if not. Good luck bro
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
So, I brought my jig in to work today and tested it with a volt meter. When setup with 3x100k and 2x1k it read as 301k. i taped it securely with duct tape and tested it again, still 301k. Tried it out a few times... phone ..!.. pc screen.

I brought it into AT&T and they set up a warranty service for it. Lets hope it goes off with out a hitch. Just for grins and giggles. I'll keep my homemade jig and when i get my new phone i'll try it out. My guess is it will work. I think in the bootloader flashing fail it wrote some of the bootloader but not the whole thing or something like that.
[Captivate General] studacris:
Sorry to say but you are mistaken. If it were ANY problem with a bootloader you would have gotten nothing out of your phone, nothing. At all. Not a single thing.

was your phone on that screen while you were trying the jig? It has to be powered off to work. If it was off How long did you try? It can be tricky to get it just right on the pins.

It's cool you're getting it replaced I guess but a jig would have worked. I can guarantee that.
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
The phone was definitely off when i was using the jig. It would then boot to that screen. I tried it about 15 times. Both with my mini-usb adapter i made and by just touching the resistors to the pcb in the mini-usb connector.

I guess i'll know in a couple days when i get a new phone if my jig works or not. I also orderd a pre-made jig for future problems.

I wish i could say it was just user error on my part, but i think something was truly messed up. I read something on another thread about some stock rom doesn't have a way to get into download mode? (keys or jig -- only adb i guess?) maybe that's what i flashed initially?
[Captivate General] studacris:
A jig will always work unless it's actually a brick, or your usb port is broken. Sometimes the button combo is lost yes. And, adb only works if you can get to the OS.
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
I'm aware that ADB only works from the OS. Generally after flashing this stock rom, i had to boot into OS and ADB to get to download mode (buttons never worked). I never tried a jig before though.

I actually think that the jig I ordered may be here before my new phone. Either way, I'll hang on to the old phone until my jig comes and then i'll try a commercial jig.

Perhaps i'm the first person with a 'soft-brick' that is actually a 'hard-brick'? *shrug*
[Captivate General] studacris:
If so you are super duper amazingly unlucky!!

I've heard of 2 accounts of a hard brick, one was a problem with the param.lfs, but one was actually a bootloader mix brick, that have been recovered from by a jig.

What they did was:

Pull battery

Insert battery DON'T TOUCH ANY BUTTONS

Insert jig.

Hold volume buttons.

That booted them into download mode and saved their phones.

Those are odd accounts but your phone isn't that damaged in comparison. That being said anything is possible, but I'd put money down the jig will work. The only reason it wouldn't is like I said, if your usb port is broken.
[Captivate General] carpenterethan:
If you think its completely bricked, ill buy it for $10 :D

just pm me :)
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Are you placing the ponds of the jig on the 2 correct usb pins (i think it is five and six).
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
Pretty sure it's 4+5 (there are only 5? Either way it's the 2 closest to the audio jack... so yes.
[Captivate General] carpenterethan:
Have you tried cutting up a micro usb cable tip and then trying it? I had the same problem with mine. Couldn't get the jig to work until this method.
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
Yeah i tried both touchign the resistors directly to the leads inside the microusb adapter on the phone. I also made a thing like that. Cut up a micro usb power adapter and tore out al the pins except 4+5 ... touched put the adapter into the phone and touched leads 4+5 with the resistors. same result.

I never got shipping notification on my jig.. but i'm thinking it may be coming today or tomorrow.
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
As mentioned you will get out of this without the need for JTAG. Did you get your JIG from me by chance? If so what's the transaction ID and I'll let you know when it will arrive.

Your JIG may be barely shorting which will turn the phone on but not into download mode.
