[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Well I Fubared last night royally. I am NOT saying that this kernel was to blame but just stating WHAT happened in my instance. If anyone has any ideas as to what I F'ed up on I would like to hear. I have flashed roms, kernels, modems, and themes thousands of times. I have flashed bootloaders from the eclair odin1-click to the newest i9000 bootloaders to the i897 gingerbread bootloaders too. So I pretty much know what I have been doing but still F'ed up somewhere. Luckily I had a second cappy so I could get back onto CM7.

So I have always used the Escapist kernel with great luck and has always worked great for me. It does seem like we lost the support for it whether it is temporary or permanently. So I decided to check out the glitch kernels as I have always followed the thread anyways. I was on nightly #76 and flashed the HL kernel and it was working but I got a lockup once I applied OC/UV to what I was used to with the escapist kernel. Next I went back to recovery and flashed ML, I had to set my phone down and do something really quick when it went to boot. I came back in 10 minutes and it was on the att screen. I thought NO BIG DEAL right. Well I could not power off the phone, I could not hold the three buttons to restart/reboot the phone, it would not go into recovery via the three buttons. The ONLY way I could power off the screen was pull the battery. Again tried to get into recovery but again. It stayed at the att screen And nothing more. So I pulled out the jig, set up Odin and my phone would not be recognized again. Couple rebooted and tried later PC saw phone in download mode. First tried putting the original INITIAL KERNEL via Odin but it failed. Kept trying to get it to flash anything via Odin (not the 1-click Odin's) but something was just wrong. So I fired up Odin 1-click that I have used many times in the past. It started working and got to the end and then said failed. I then was able to get the odin3 to work and see the phone in download mode and tried to reflash the old way as I had the original initial kernel and initial CM7 from way back but it failed to at the end. Tried it with repartition and without. Well since nothing was working correctly I decided hesitantly to flash the odin1-click eclair again. I cannot remember at that point if it failed or finished but once I disconnected the phone from the USB cable I went to try to reboot phone (should of been stock eclair)(also this phone never had any i9000 or i897 gingerbread bootloaders installed). Well I held the three buttons down and it went to restart since the screen turned of. I let go of the buttons and now it will not even power on at all. No soft button lights come on, no screen, nothing. So it is jtag time for the phone.

Sorry for the long post but wanted to give background info. So back to why I am posting here. Has anyone had a similiar issue that just from flashing a kernel being stuck on the att screen where you cannot even three button to reboot the phone let alone get into recovery? I am not talking about a bootloop either. It is just like something died where the ONLY Thing to try to restart/reboot/get into download mode/anything to get away from the att screen required a battery pull and then nothing (except for the jig did put in download mode after a battery pull). Any thoughts? Did I choose the wrong kernel by chance? I had all three version 11's on the phone to test them all out. I KNOW it all is just a fluke that my phone died and that is nit what I am questioning here. Ow well thanks for any input.
