[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajasekhar19489:
HI,

I am from INDIA, few months back I got a Samsung Captivate , Till now i tried FIREFLY and CM7 ROMs . The first time flash i did it with ODIN i guess i did it with a wrong firmware ,So was stuck with AT&T screen boot loop issue. Searching the forums and found JIG may help and so made a JIG (as i can't get one here) . and recovered my phone and flashed stock and then FIREFLY and 2 weeks back i flashed CM7 for getting Gingerbread and not likeing the UI of the ROM tried to switch back to stock and then customize on my own.

So When i tried flashing Stock the installation was success the screen stuck few moments on AT&T logo and i thought it would go off, But as i was very eager to get my phone online again i pulled of the battery to restart manually (Which i dont think was nice idea ) Now the screen remains black even i use the JIG to get into download mode. But the phone heats UP when i plug it for charging on computer or directly to switch

HELP NEEDED as i am very addicted to this PHONE :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i3oots:
I have the same issue. I was tryint to load Cognition and it just gets stuck on the ATT screen but I haven't tried a jig yet. I was wondering if I can replace the files on the phone with good files that aren't corrupted and see if it boots up because droid explorere can still pick up the phone and so does Odin but when I do a master reset nothing happens.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaNaRkI:
@rajasekhar - Have you tried: Removing all parts (battery, sim, sd) let it sit for a few min (my preference is around 10 min to insure no residual power is left in the system) then hold the jig in place and putting the battery back in? Keeping the jig in place, so that as soon as the device gets power it is immediately seeing the jig, before it can try any other processes.

A bit difficult to do with hand made jigs I know. If you still getting nothing then your in for the worst and the phone need a JTAG or service center visit.

Tho it sounds a little odd that it could boot up to seeing the AT&T logo, but does not respond to the jig. Might even be a hardware problem.

@i3oots - Since you say your still getting PC response your safe to try and reflash it or just pick something different altogether. Tho you might wanna let ODIN settle and just sit there doing nothing for a few min, w/o then w/ the phone plugged in. Or learn about Heimdall and go that route.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i3oots:
Would I be able to flash it even though it get's stuck on the ATT screen? It won't go into download mode. I'll look on the forums how to flash it too. I'm a newb at this which is why I bricked it but everyone has to start somewhere lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa1yan:
You have probably Hard Bricked your phone. A JIG will not work to recover the phone. If the phone has any life at all, then the JIG will work. Else, u hard bricked it...you should never remove the usb cable when flashing bootloaders or odin or anything!

the only solution is to get a JTAG which can recover hard bricks OR you can go to a warranty store (don't know about india) and make up a sob story and have them replace it..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Does your computer recognize the phone? If odin is open, does the box turn yellow when you connect your phone? Make sure you have the right drivers. I think cm7 and captivate drivers are different. Keep trying with the jig. Just because you can't see anything on the screen doesn't mean the phone is dead.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaNaRkI:
If your phone is booting up far enough to send out USB info for ODIN and other PC programs to see it, then your still in a workable condition. This also means you can still get into download mode, but since things arn't working properly it will be harder. Depending on which bootloaders your phone has will direct which methods you'll have to try out to get into download mode.

AFTER you've had a chance to look around the forum and self-educate on the different ways of getting into download mode. If your still having problems give us a lil more info of what you were running before the flash and to which version of Cog you were trying to flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anadam:
Did anything worked for you, if not only a jtag can help you looks like u hard bricked the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajasekhar19489:
Hi guys

@DaNarki : Yea i tried that method to .

Thanx for ur suggestions guys .I really squeezed through xda for all possible ways of unbricking but no use. SO thought JTAG was the only option.But wanna know more about JTAG???????

Went for a samsung service centre they said they wont handle other country products of samsung. Just yesterday went to the local Cell phone Repair store , He said like he would try using a Ctool box they have for installin onto the rom directly. So i thought why not Give a shot to it ...

That store guy raised another question in me . Yesterday after giving it in the morning he said to call in the evening . I did so and he said the Phone is booting on the Ctool but it is sometimes throwing error . I dint get his intention in saying so . have to go to him today
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malebornin69:
bricked maybe not

I thought I was bricked also ...HARD BRICKED......no buttons no nothing ...tried odin on, phone plugged in, and hold down volume up and down and reinstall batt......nothing worked.......but this... it worked for me........ok first of all remember this will be a bit tricky because you will have to keep the volume keys pressed the whole time till you have download mode......should also have full batt......take out the sim and any flash cards you may have in the phone and the batt.....set the phone down and watch a couple hours of tv or try to brick your buddies phone so he can feel your pain...lol something.....ok now after your tv show has gone off turn on your computer and start up odin one click to stock.... put just the batt in the phone.....if your friend is still there you should try this with 100% batt.... use his phone to charge your batt.....any way put the batt in the phone....plug the usb cable into your computer......now for the tricky part .......press down the volume up and down now and do not let them go till the end of this and you should have download mode.......now plug in the usb to your phone IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET DL MODE HERE THEN GO AHEAD AND LET GO OF THE VOLUME BUTTONS AND FLASH YOUR PHONE ....if not... KEEP THE BUTTONS PRESSED.......now take the batt out of the phone.....keep them pressed......unplug your usb cable......keep them pressed.... restart odin...... keep them pressed....plug your usb cable back in.......keep them pressed... re-install the batt.....you should get download mode.......remember you have to keep them pressed... JUST... the volume up and down pressed through the whole process nothing else....This worked for me and I was dead bricked no nothing from any of the keys no nothing..... I DIDNT INVENT THIS METHOD I READ IT ON HERE SOMEWHERE AND CANT FIND IT AGAIN......It did work for me when nothing else did.....so if the person that posted it reads this THANK YOU...... ................................................. I hate to say this but I may have got the last two instructions backward you may have to put the batt in before plugging in the usb cable.......Like I said I cant find the original post
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaNaRkI:
If you just wanna know a bit about the process ask this guy. He is pretty much the only person in the US (I know not all to useful to a person in India) that does JTAG for the cappy.

I can tell you this much, it requires a special device called a Riff box and it sends boot info directly to the chip on the main/mother board that is used for the booting process.

Somewhere I've seen a site that listed info of ppl around the world that will JTAG, but I can't seem to find it right now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajasekhar19489:
Thanx MAN!!!!!! . it seems interesting method to try .. but i have to wait 12 hrs to get my phone back from the guy i gave to repair that. he said his chances of getting it fixed are 50-50 so i might as well prepare for your method to ..

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malebornin69:
Hope it helps I wish I could find the original post again to thank the guy that told me how to do it. I had sent that phone back to att and the promptly sent it back and told me the water dammage sticker in the bat compartment was missing and they wanted to charge me 409 bucks for the phone ....long story short it was there when I sent it and I told them to go pound sand up their ass because I wasnt paying them that much and ended up paying 125 bucks for a paper weight.So that is when I decided to have it jtaged but figured I would give it one more shot before mailing it off. That was when I found the post from that person and low and behold it worked........................... I hate to say this but I may have got the last two instructions backward you may have to put the batt in before plugging in the usb cable.......Like I said I cat find the original post

Forgot to mention

I Missed to explain my flashing procedure i have done this time . Like I never tried flash a boot file along and so was reading some threads about boot loader variations between FROYO and GINGERBREAD so i tried flashing ablong with boot loader and then I got the stock gingerbread file i put the boot loader SBL in heimdall Firstboot loader path .And Boom the first reboot got stuck and i removed the battery and then again when i tried to restart the phone is dead

Thinking this might have where the whole thing went wrong and made the cell dead .
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Deleted member 2070558:
Is possible without installing modded firmwares? I mean, doing it by hand, avoiding flashing again? Stune or TkFileExplorer can do this?

Thanks - sorry for asking but i've searched a lot finding nothing
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
Yes you can but (with stune) you have to install the region code after and that made a reset of your phone.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to activate socialhub premium without modifying first the firmware.

Especially, you need to modify the samsung socialhub web address (or simply replace the "clientstrings-en_US.lan" file) that is in ShpApp.app of the firmware.

This file cannot be edited by STune. It does not even show up in STune. The one that shows up in STune is the one from the FactoryFs file.

When you edit this file with STune, it is automatically overwritten by the original file from ShpApp.app. And you are back to square one.

So it is very necessary to edit the ShpApp.app and flash the firmware before socialhub will be active. You can edit the csc and other files with STune.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Deleted member 2070558:
Thanks for explanation.

I need first to flash S8500XXJID and then S8500XIKA1 (target firmware). If i've understood correctly, i have to:

1) Download trix (any working link? :confused:) and work with S8500XXJID

2) Edit CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXA_XXJID.csc and edit Customer.xml

3) Open ShpApp.app and edit clientstrings-en_US.lan with the new address (will it change in future? :confused:)

4) Flash S8500XXJID (full)

5) Flash S8500XIKA1 (light)

Should i edit csc and app also for S8500XIKA1? Can I only modify S8500XIKA1?

ty
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
Answers:

1. Download Trix from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=51WOVLLD

2. Edit only the CSC for S8500XIKA1.

(No need to edit the csc of S8500XXJID as it will be overwritten by the csc of S8500XIKA1).

3. It's easier to replace the clientstrings-en_US.lan with the one from http://www.multiupload.com/VYQX8PFOG9 (It is correct and needs no edit).

NB:

i. Replace the clientstrings-en_US.lan file in BOTH ShpApp.app and FactoryFs (S8500XXJID (full))

ii. Replace the clientstrings-en_US.lan file in ONLY PFS_S8500..pfs (S8500XIKA1 (light))

4. First flash S8500XXJID (full)

5. Lastly flash S8500XIKA1 (light)

Suggestion:

Browse this forum for more tutorials on how to activate socialhub premium (there are many of them).
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Deleted member 2070558:
Oh really thanks man :o the only problem is there is no clientstrings-en_US.lan in ShpApp.app and FactoryFs_S8500_Open_Europe_Common.ffs from JID:... :confused::eek:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
The clientstrings-en_US.lan file is in App\Osp\Applications\2482tqy39g\Data

And it's possible to active socialhub premium with stune but it's easier to make it directly from a firmware.

that's so annoying I link TriX at NokiX site, then everyone link some copies of what they downloaded earlier - at the end people complain the program is buggy, the script is not working, the procedure entry point couldn't be located

download from NokiX site so you always have the current build with updated scripts if something has changed. Short how to is prepared too...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
Hi kubica Have you got the link please?

Is there some new scripts for trixBada?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] b.kubica:

there is no currently new scripts - everything still work, even with new bada 2.0, so there is no need for do that

[Venue Pro General] Monkyyy:
One feature I absolutely must have in a phone is tethering capability. Up until Nodo I've been happy with the work around via the EM app, however with the Mango update it no longer works. When the phone is plugged into my laptop with composite mode enabled, it doesn't charge or do anything. Is there any way to restore tethering capability without reverting to NoDo? I suspect that the EM app was updated which has disabled this functionality.

Edit: Uninstalled in reinstalled EM, which was previously v0.25 and now v1.08/1.10. Composite mode still doesn't work.
[Venue Pro General] snipboy:
Ugh, I was hoping it was just me. Discovered this myself yesterday when I most needed to tether :(

Hi....so what is the stand of Acer related to us getting 3.2 ?

I hope the won't just update to 3.2 but also improve a lot a bugs related specifically to this tablet, for example rotation time....while using Virtuous Galaxy, one can tell this ain't hardware related but software related....

VG rom rotates sooooo much a faster than Acer roms that you can actually dare to rotate it..ans show friends how it handles it!

GPS also works poorly for me.

Well ....any comments or news?

Happy to know more of this 3.2 Honeycomb release!

Enviado desde mi A500 usando XDA Premium App
[Acer Iconia A500] pfc.joker:
As it's coming for the Transformer soon, I expect iconia tab to follow shortly...

The core 3.2 drop from Google isn't exactly that feature rich (just a few font/sizing smoothing and SD card improvements) - Offical 3.2 release notes - so I'm with you in hoping for some general performance improvements from ACER directly.

Overall I'm not really waiting for 3.2 (at least not as much as I was for the 3.0 > 3.1 update) - that might change if Acer actually notified the community more about *what* they are doing in their releases - most of the time the only way to find what's changed is by poking around the update file after it's dropped.
[Acer Iconia A500] Lorthirk:
I know it's for sure too early talk about (and a bit off topic too), but while I think that 3.2 will come for both A500 and A501, I'm quite worried about the timing. I'm new to Acer devices (only have HTC Desire as a cell phone). To the ones who has other Acer devices: what's their "support lifetime"?

And, another fear is (again, too early to say) about 4.0: I hope we will be covered but... again, who knows about their support duration?
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
By the time 4.0 comes out, the Tegra3 will be launching right along side/with it. Time for some quad core lovin'! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
That's for sure. I'm not updating my tablet or phone until ice cream 4.0 is out. The EVO and acer will have to do until then.
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
I've already made up my mind not to upgrade to a quad when it comes out. Duo is enough for me for now. The acer and gtab should last me for a while.
[Acer Iconia A500] originalone:
3.2 is for 7" tablet.. so why look for it?

expand/minimise window is nice , but 3.2? i think 3.1.1 would have be ok.

acer will not deliver anything good with 3.2, just resized window, what a fracking breakthrough..
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
well there is one part of the update that looks helpful: and that is the extended micro SD support. Meaning my music apps might actually be able to properly utilize my card.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
I wouldn't worry too much. 4.0 will apparently be open sourced, like with 2.x, so rom builders can put together proper roms for the device rather than just modified versions of existing roms. 4.0 will come the iconia one way or another.
[Acer Iconia A500] Lorthirk:
Are you saying that 4.0 will require Tegra3 and/or quad core? Is this official or just your speculation?
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
I agree that 3.2 is a minor update. However, if Asus and Moto are pumping it out I doubt that Acer will not follow suit. They already dropped the price to match the Asus so I have to believe they are keeping a close eye on the competition.

4.0 IceCream Sandwich is obviously the big update for the end of the year and really I'm thinking the a500 would be getting it. Probably not right at launch but fairly soon after. I'm of the opinion that Android has done a pretty good job of pumping out updates frequently and that keeps the carriers/manufacturers pretty loose with the hardware upgrade cycles. Meaning, unless there is a hardware limitation, I would bet the a500 gets the update since it has not been out that long. In the long run, even if it doesn't officially come from Acer, I'm sure the devs cook up some 4.0 goodness for us.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
On the contrary, 4.0 "supposedly" is to bring both phones and tablets onto the same OS!

:)
[Acer Iconia A500] pfc.joker:
This is my first Acer so I can't speak on lifetime, but the joy of Android, I'll guess long after Acer has moved on to the next tablet (A600 ?) - there will still be some resourceful people here releasing custom ROM updates including whatever neat updates including in the next tablet generation - but I'll put money down that their support model will be slightly longer than most carriers and their phones.
