[Thunderbolt General] CharliesTheMan:
I know I'm taking up space and this should be merged into the other identical threads, but I'll use it since people are referring to it.

For those of you who are electronically inclined, are familiar with Android and your Thunderbolt, check out the gingerbread ROMS that are available and stable (research will show that some are more stable than others.) Of course this is directed for the people who aren't already running custom roms.

If you don't know what a rom is or don't care, obviously the developer forums should be avoided. Also, I've seen many people post things like "I hate reading threads and I just need the answer," these people also shouldn't be tweaking a phone.

But for those of you comfortable installing software and firmware, and are interested in learning about the process, I highly recommend doing research on flashing roms and deciding if it's something you can handle.

The BAMF release candidate is MUCH more stable and reliable for me than the stock rom was. I haven't been hacking Android except for a couple of months, so I just spent countless hours reading and learning how things worked before jumping in.

I haven't tried CM7 RC1, but I'm HIGHLY impressed with BAMF Sense 3.0 and it has made me life my phone a lot more. Again, I know many of you are veterans and I am not insulting anyones intelligence, but due to some rumors I see in this section about "my friend's friend bricked his phone" I thought I would share something on the positive side.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
It was another leaked test build. No OTA. So as fitting as my name is in light of my near- world famous rants against gullibility might be, I was right: no OTA. Kinda curious how good the leak is though.

But really, ya shouldn't believe everything ya read on the internet. ESPECIALLY when it looks and sounds as fake as that "internal memo" did. Some asked why someone would fake that. Well, because watching some of you lap that stuff up is kinda humorous. Am I the only one that laughs at folks gossiping about long awaited, magical pink unicorns?

As for the Storm2, it was decent hardware with a short lifespan of support. I have the S2 to both my wife and my girlfriend and both are flat out dead paperweights today. I just got tired of replacing them after SIX OR SEVEN of them. So did my friend who went through 3 of them. He's the guy that got me on Android.

I woke up this morning and my phone had that OTA notification thing. I clicked cancel just in case it was Gingerbread (which would probably be unrootable, at least for a while. I haven't rooted yet, but most likely will soon), but under settings>software update>Status, it said the update was about 35mb if I remember correctly. Not Gingerbread.

I just got my tbolt yesterday, so it was probably that previous OTA.

I'd like to bring this thread to the attention of moderators:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136309

The name "Optimus 2x" has become ambiguous because it refers to two different models now:

In Europe and Asia: Optimus 2x = LG P990, with the LG UI customizations.

In Canada: Optimus 2x = LG P999, same device as T-mobile G2x, with the stock like UI. But they didn't call the G2x because T-mobile items that trademark.

There is already a thread in which a few Canadian users almost bricked their P999 by following P990 instructions.

Could we please do something to resolve this ambiguity? At the very least put the model numbers into the forum titles.

Rename LG Optimus 2x -> LG P990: Optimus 2x

Rename T-mobile G2x -> LG P999: T-mobile G2x & CDN Optimus 2x

That way everybody ends up in the right forum and nobody's phone gets bricked. Any thoughts?

[About XDA developers] Karine_t82:
I think you've answered one of my questions! I live in Canada and have the LG Optimux 2x (P999). Is it the same as the G2X?

I'm not sure which forum to search in (the LG Optimus 2x or the T-Mobile G2X)?

By seeing this:

"Rename T-mobile G2x -> LG P999: T-mobile G2x & CDN Optimus 2x"...

...I assume I have to look in the T-Mobile G2X forum if I want info about my phone and not the LG Optimux 2x forum, even though my phone is an LG?
[About XDA developers] cmstlist:
Correct. The P999 means you look in the G2X forum.

Just to confuse things further, now Fido Canada has released the Optimus 2X as well but it's not the same device at all as the one on Wind. I believe it's a variant of the P990 with 850/1900/2100 3G. I don't yet know what the model number is. There's a chance that the baseband from both previously released variants could brick out.

[About XDA developers] Karine_t82:
Great, thank you so much for your reply!

I'm new to this. This is my first smartphone and I was confused between LG Optimux 2x, T-Mobile G2x, P990 and P999.

I know I have a P999 but it's a LG, not a T-Mobile, that's why I got confused.

I will now do my searches under the T-Mobile G2x forum.

I really hope the moderators will listen to your suggestion and change the forum names. It would help newbies like me!
[About XDA developers] Brannagan:
So I have a Optimus P990hn from Fido, but you guys are saying this is the European/Asian model number?
[About XDA developers] cmstlist:
Optimus 2X P990 (without hn) = European/Asian with 900/1900/2100 3G and LG interface

Optimus 2X P990hn = Fido Canada with 850/1900/2100 and LG interface

Optimus 2X P999 = Videotron & Mobilicity with AWS/2100 3G and stock-like interface

G2X P999 = T-Mobile with AWS/2100 3G and stock-like interface

Can you still boot into custom recovery?

Did you ever take a nandroid backup?
[About XDA developers] themagekiler:
Yes I can boot into recovery but I did not make a back up unfortunately...
[About XDA developers] cmstlist:
Then you will have to find someone who took a backup of their stock Fido O2X. Anyway I see you started a thread in the O2X forum so I guess it should be addressed there not here.
[About XDA developers] Rusty!:
Yes this definitely needs changing, there are a lot of P999 O2X's popping up in the P990 section.

Looks like someone's flashed their P999 O2X with some P990 stuff and it's not done it any good (no service).
[About XDA developers] cmstlist:
Looks like you have been monitoring this. Could you do a favour a paste links here anytime a P999 O2x thread pops up in the O2x forum?

And please! Moderators, we need to get your attention! Is there a list of moderators for the Optimus 2X and G2x forums?

My wife's captivate is build 1009. I can't seem to find any info on it. It was on stock froyo but rooted with non-market apps enabled. I odin back to eclair and was trying to install CWM. I put the update.zip on the SD but when I try to boot into recovery (Volume up + Down and pwr) it just boots up normal. I had to use a jig to get it into download mode originally.

Any Ideas?:(

SIGNATURE : Life is like a box of captivates, you never know if your gps will work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netpok:
Hi,

My phone is 1007 and had the same problem.

Solution:

- You need to have the 3buttonfix.zip and the cwm update.zip on your SD.

- adb reboot recovery (from windows command line with enabled usb debugging on the phone)

- update to cwm then flash 3buttonfix

Warning: 3buttonfix only contains the Secondary Boot Loader so use it only if you have the stock bootloaders or your phone will get a hard brick
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
I recently got a 1009 build and have had zero problems. When I got it, the first thing I did was root it and fox the whole 3e recovery thing (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213), then it was good to go.

I have found that this phone I got is the best one I have had, period.

I first had a 1007 - crappy gps but never had any loss of button combos or anything. It always was easy to flash anything.

Then I had a 1008 - awesome gps, but had problems with losing button combos when flashing different things.

Now on 1009 - best of both. awesome gps, all button combos work flawlessly.

on my 1008 I did notice that sometimes I could get to recovery holding all three buttons longer than usual - until the att screen flashed a couple of times. Maybe this would work on your 1009.

Also on the 1008 I would flash back to stock with ODIN 1 click, then I could reflash the stock 3 button fix to get them back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwells813:
When the update.zip is in SD, and then on stock recovery you have to press re-install packages twice before cwm will kick in.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon_L:
Thanks for all the help. It is appreciated. I tried every button combo and short and long presses and nothing works. I was able to use a jig to get into download and get back to stock 2.1 I tried to just use kies to update to the stock 2.2 but I keep getting "unregistered device" message and won't "light up" the update button.

I may try going to AT&T and seeing if they will let me exchange it or calling Samsung and seeing what they will do.

If all else fails I may try the abd thing. Once I figure that out:confused:

Thanks again for the suggestions.

I've got Serendipity 7 on my phone and loving it! Never imagined I'd have so much trouble with this one. It was only rooted.

Will that allow it to go into recovery mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:

The key combo to get into recovery for the Cappy is NOT Vol up + Vol down + Power

Well I had to go to ATT to pick up a micro cell. They gave me a $200 credit on my bill!:) There is almost no reception at my house.

While I was there I talked to them about my wife's phone. We have the AT&T warranty. He gave me a number for the warranty department.

They were able to tell that the phone had been rooted. This is after odin back to 2.1. They did offer to allow me exchange it for the deductible of $125. No Thanks!

The phone still works fine. I just need to learn a little more to get it updated. The suggestions here should work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smasher816:
I'm sorry but i think you all are crazy.

The 3e recovery fix will not help you get to recovery. It unlocks the 3e recovery so you can flash unsigned zips like on 2e.

The key combo for captivates in indeed Vol up + Vol down + Power (not on ginger leak), i use it 5 times a day. Hold down all three untill you see the atnt screen, keep holding and you should see it go black and come back again, then release power.

And if you odin one click back to stock and master clear atnt can NOT tell that you were ever rooted. There will be no trace of ever doing anything, just as fresh as it was out of the box. Many people have got replacements by doing this.

But if the recovery combo doesnt work then the 3 button fix and adb are your options

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Anyone who wants flash anything on an android device should install adb on their computer.

How long have you been trying to get this to work? Adb takes like 5 minutes to install (if that) and once it's there it's just 3 words to get into recovery, Seriously it's "adb reboot recovery" and bam.

[HD2 General] bhubbard:
Ive looked around the web and cant find anything thats really close to my problem. I mean, i did find one post that was similar but he was stuck at the bootloader due to another problem and it the answer wasnt ver helpful for my situation nor his. So I've come to last resort. Please Help...

I've had my HD2 for quite awhile now. I ended up flashing "Stock Gingerbread 2.1" onto it through the xdaDevelopers website; mainly for _ reasons; I tend to get bored with the same old same old, Windows Mobile was pissing me off with all its bugs, freezes, and boringness, and i didnt know about Android when I got the HD2. So anyway, when i got Android loadeded, the phone was perfect. It was fast and did everything I wanted and more. Unfortunately, I had a bit of an accident.. I ended of getting a bit of tequilla on the phone(and obviously in it). I got the battery taken out and wiped off with the help of a friend. After i got it plugged in the next day, it turned on, but only loaded to the boot loader screen... So I put it into a bowl of rice(battery out). A couple days later i tested it and it booted all the way up but since i could still see some liquid i put it back in the bowl of new rice. A couple days later I tried it again and its stuck on the boot loader screen again... If i try to do a factory reset, it just freezes at the "Press Volup" screen. I cant continue or cancel it....Im guessing its fried but is there any possible way to help it some how?? or atleast somewhere i could send it in for a fairly reasonable price??

I have not heard any one working on it yet. May be some one is doing something silently and will post one its ready for test. I do not expect to run to many apps on the Eink display. So the nooted version is good enough for me.
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
This would take a long time. CM7 is made for color devices, and even normal ports take some time. The devs would have to put off everything else and by the time we got one the World would be moving to to better and greater things.... but you're welcome to hope :D
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
Not true at all, this really wouldn't be that much different then a port for any other device. Android is not compiled to be "color specific" or even screen type specific for that matter. This is the reason you see wvga, qhd etc. Its really just dependent upon pixel density and this is just a build.prop modification to take care of that. But there would be other problems that would not be solved such as video due to obvious restrictions of e ink.
[Nook Color General] zonyl:
Well... I looked into it a while ago and found that there is a bit more to the eink display then what is in the asop kernel in cm7. There is a module that controls the eink refresh and dsp with the stock kernel and probably a few other things that are needed. I was partially successful mixing the kernel from stock with cm7 user space, however, obviously things were missing to the point it wouldn't come up far.

I am by no means an expert on cm7 though.

Did you reactivate your old device? If so, you'll probably need to call Verizon or go to the store and get a new SIM card.
