[Captivate Android Development] 105437:
I'm trying to use this on a Mac running Lion and I get the Mac to recognize the Captivate via the High Speed USB interface (see below). Problem is that I cannot get Heimdall to recognize that the phone is connected. I've tried 3 different cables and even another Mac running Snow Leopard with the same results.

Any ideas??? Thanks!

I successfully used this to unbrick my phone...THANKS!!! my question now is how can I put Illuminace on my phone since Odin does not recognize it now? I know for odin to recognize the drivers need to be unistalled...how do i do that? Thanks in advance!

Ryan
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
use a different usb port. zadig only installs drivers on a singe port.
[Captivate Android Development] 105437:
Went to a PC and used Odin which worked just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] nugget68:
Great...I will try that...
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Finally gave this a flash. It worked perfectly, on My win7 machine and My Linux machine. In fact, I'm going to recommend that this be the stock firmware that everyone flashes to from now on, Since all captivates can run it without boot looping (unlike jf6).
[Captivate Android Development] JKelley103:
Has this been updated to 1.3.1?
[Captivate Android Development] Squeaner:
According to post # 157 by AdamOutler it is now 1.3.1.
[Captivate Android Development] killmastern3:
I have the classic "Firmware Update Fail! Try using recovery mode" screen. Upon research i understand it is an alternate download mode. People are suggesting to use Odin to flash back to stock. My question is, can i use this Heimdall One Click to go back to stock??

The failure happened when i was flashing froyo bootloaders from this rom. Please help.
[Captivate Android Development] JKelley103:
I have had similar issues using odin. this package will return you to stock froyo including re partition. I swore for the longest time it was my pc causing the flash to fail. it actually turned out to be a bad usb cable.

after using this package I will never use odin again.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
This performs the same actions as odin the diffrence is this is open source and runs on linux and mac not just windows. I think this is a better choice, but I've if your having problems with either one be sure you are using a good usb cable. Sometimes software gets blamed for problems when a bad data connection is at fault.
[Captivate Android Development] killmastern3:
Thanks a lot. My cappy is up and running now.
[Captivate Android Development] zphelj:
PIT application failure?

I was hoping to intentionally flash bootloaders using this and ran into a problem doing so, PIT fails basically. Is this by design?

More info:

Flash works fine as-is (I can run it once and get back to stock) however ..

If I then choose the write bootloader option and proceed I receive a generic error about the PIT failing in the Heimdall log window, my Captivate tries to reboot and goes black screen. Not bricked though, just pull battery, go back into download mode, re-flash, works fine, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Sounds like you have a bad cable. One-Click will repartition when writing bootloaders. The pit in Heimdall One-Click becomes your device's pit and it won't fail unless it can't write the pit or any other communications error occurs.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Never mind, delete.
[Captivate Android Development] icedd:
Download links are down! Can anyone reupload them please, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Both of them work for me.
[Captivate Android Development] icedd:
Works again for me, thanks!

edit: nvm download stopped and now links are not working anymore haha.

Yup cannot download it. Can anyone help please
[Captivate Android Development] nok6100:
I see it is down also, I will have a link for it so you can grab it. Stand by, I am uploading now.

EDIT: Here is the link for the rooted version -> LINK
[Captivate Android Development] KMan94:
I have the rooted version sitting here on my PC if you need it.
[Captivate Android Development] gbalwing:
I have been reading and i wasnt able to find the answer. I apologize if this was already answered. i am not bricked or anything, just learning. if i flash back to stock with bootloaders (in this case KB2, if the first flash didnt work), and if i decide to flash a GB Rom, do i have to flash with bootloaders on my next flash. Just trying to avoid hard brick. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] nok6100:
Yes, of u go from 2.2 boot loaders to gingerbread u will need to flash gingerbread boot loaders again. The gingerbread boot loaders will work OK with 2.2 though.
[HTC EVO 3D] jasrups:
I just wanted to gauge the general feeling amongst those of us who have a Rogers or GSM Evo 3D. Are you guys satisfied with your devices?

I think we can all agree that one of the greatest advantages Android has over iOS is the ability to root and install custom ROMS on your phone. It really keeps your phone fresh and extends the lifespan of the device.

However as well all know, development for the GSM Evo has been lackluster to say the least. It isn't the developer's fault (the few that are active like Leedroid have been great) but they can't do much without those missing Shooter U files.. Another question I want to ask is, how likely is it that HTC will actually release these files? It's been almost 2 months since the phone has been released and still there's been no indication of any release.

The Evo 3D has great hardware, but what good is it without software that's equally good? I would almost rather use my Nexus, which can at least run MIUI and CM7. While I would have no problem patiently waiting for a ROM if it's development was in progress, but there's no point of waiting hopelessly when the development isn't even possible.

Right now I'm contemplating selling my device just because it's resale value is still high and because there's been no indication that the development situation will get any better. I'm wondering how you guys are feeling about this? Are you guys more optimistic than I am?

And just so there's no misunderstanding here, the point of this post wasn't to bash the Evo itself. But if this is going to be the phone I use for the next year and a half, I want it to be future proof. I want it to be able to run MIUI, CM7, CM8 when it comes out, and so on.
[HTC EVO 3D] ObsoleteSoldier:
Great device so far!

I've had the EVO 3D for about 3 weeks now and so far I'm loving it! Coming from the Magic/Sapphire device, Android feels like a completely new experience. I'm still running stock and have not rooted and unlocked the device itself but will be once more stable roms are available. I have faith that dev will pick up in the next month or so after Rogers releases the Samsung S2 for LTE and starts to discount the 3 year purchase price for the EVO 3D making it even more attractive to more consumers. HTC has also been playing nice (for the most part) with the dev community that they'll be releasing the files that our devs need shortly.

So no worries, it'll happen! :D

In any event, back to playing with my EVO 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Don't really care if HTC release it or not. The phone is awesome as it is!

I've rooted my Evo3D to get Titanium, but Im running stock, and couldn't be more pleased, and dont have any plans to put another ROM on.

The only thing Ive noticed that does make me wonder a little, is that my Evo seems to have lower benchmark scores than you usually get from this phone. Dont know if its something that Rogers have done, or a fluke or what it is. But it seems fast enough, and we all know that benchmarks are often meaningless...
[HTC EVO 3D] KQ17:
I've had the Captivate and the Arc before. The first thing I wanted to do with those phones was to flash a Custom ROM so the performance would actually be decent. With the EVO, I honestly don't really care(at least, for now). I really like it, everything is smooth and fast. MUCH better than the arc. Awful awful phone.

I'm really satisfied with the build quality. It feels like a tank. Without a doubt the best phone I've ever had.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
I've been using LeeDrOiD on my E3D for over a week and I find it quite smooth, but even my wife's stock Evo 3D runs very well. Yes, I'd like to see development for the GSM take off, and I think that'll happen once HTC releases the fixed kernel sources (which I reminded them about not 30 minutes ago on their Facebook page), but I'm very happy with this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] jasrups:
You guys have made me feel better about my phone lol!
[XPERIA X10 General] DaveHTC200:
Guys,

After a bit of advice please.

I am due an upgrade soon, which will mean the end of a great time with my X10, but i am not sure which of the above to go for.

My wife has the HTC sensation, and i think it is awesome, but i have not really had a good 'play' with the SGS2.

Can anyone please give some constructive advice?

Many thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I love HTC and have an HTC phone currently (the incredible s ), however I think the sgs2 is a much better phone.

the screen, the processor, etc... is just a step above everything else out right now.

you wouldn't be upset with either but I would definitely suggest the s 2
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
scoobysnacks comes first when it comes to phone wars:p

SGS 2 is the best around for now...
[XPERIA X10 General] doomed151:
Samsung Sensation S.

jk

The only reason I wouldn't choose S II is the screen. It's oversaturated and gradients don't display well. A fine example of well-done AMOLED display can be found in the Nokia N8. The Sensation has a better resolution (540x960) compared to S II (480x800). I'd take the Sensation.

And please, do NOT take things too seriously. I know xda too well.
[XPERIA X10 General] Phateless:
HTC has much better dev support and better GPS. Sensation all the way.

The only big advantages of the Samsung are the screen and being able to use Odin to save your ass if you **** something up. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Ariscelia:
Yup. Sensation is great for its user interface, unless you hate HTC Sense 3.0, then that's too bad...

Sensation is running MSM8260 Chipset which should run 1.5GHz by default.

So when comparing in processor, Sensation should have a better performance than S II.

Its screen is better too. Like doomed151 said.

If you do not believe me that Sensation runs a better processor than S II, then please read my post at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1265103

S II has its pros too. When recording, it records on MP4 (Correct me if wrong, I have forgotten) while Sensation records video with 3GP. 3GP is not really good... however, their difference in quality is minimal and 3GP is smaller in size. Does that counts as pros or cons? Haha

Besides, S II has 1GB of RAM, you may need to consider about how heavy of applications you would be using.

HTC has HTC Location, a very nice GPS Function, shipped with 30 days of premium navigation. You should know because your wife owns it.

Oh yeah, you also need to consider about the build quality. Samsung Galaxy S II case is made from plastic while HTC Sensation has a round cover of aluminium.

It gives some extra protection and endurance.

If you do not know what I am talking about. Go to my post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1265103 and scroll down to see the polished aluminium part. :)

It is from a person who owns both phones. He is not from Techradar or anything. Those reviews sometimes take gifts from the manufacturer and talks good about the manufacturer, making the reviews go unfair and incorrect. I AM NOT SAYING ANYONE, I AM JUST GIVING AN EXAMPLE! But Samsung really do lots of advertisements about Samsung Galaxy S II since two months ago.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
clockspeed alone does not make a processor better.. ..

sgs2 chip has a much better gpu.

why would you need HTC location? google maps is free.

like I said I prefer HTC phones , but the sgs2 is just a touch better imo
[XPERIA X10 General] DaveHTC200:
Thanks guys!

These are useful posts, shame it doesn't make the choice easier... :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Phateless:
Never played with HTC location. I'm an aosp guy and I flash my phones to cm immediately every time.
[XPERIA X10 General] farhan032:
I too was faced with the same dilemma as you in deciding what phone to get as I was honestly very frustrated with my X10 & just couldnt decide which one to go for S2 or Sensation.

So I am going to give you how I weighted my decision & a mini-review abt my choice (frm someone coming from X10)

S2 Main Advantages:

- Simply put the most powerful & fastest smartphone in market today ( If you ever had any doubts about that fact just look up the Anandtech review of the S2 on google)

- Slim & Lightweight

- Super Amoled+ Display

- Very good still/video camera

- On board 16GB flash memory ( This is always going to be faster than any memory card, a very imp factor for me )

- 1GB Ram

S2 Main Disadvantages:

- Plasticky body

- Touchwiz ( not to everyone taste .. can be fixed with ADW/Launcherpro)

- Surprisingly Super Amoled+ Display - Its love or hate .. the super vivid colors may not be to everyone's taste ( can be toned down using settings however)

- 480 x 800 pixels resolution

Sensation Main Advantages

- Sexy metallic unibody construction

- Sense 3.0 ( easily the most polished android skins around)

- Higer res qHD IPS LCD display ( currently highest res display in the market)

Sensation Main Disadvantages

- Sub par still camera

- 768 MB RAM ( Sense 3.0 eats a lions share of this available ram .. very less ram to other apps available)

- Less internal storage, so u need a SD card ( going to be always slower than on board memory )

- Questionable dual core implementation .. only single core dedicated to applications, while other core is just dedicated to background apps

Considering above factors ( please note these are my opinions alone, others can differ ) i chose to buy :

Samsung Galaxy S2

Mini Review

- I absolutely love the S2 & no matter how hard i try i just cant get it to stutter or lag

- The display is absolutely beautiful. A word of caution .. while the blacks are absolutely impenetrable on the SAmoded+ screen .. the whites are not so 'white' at lower brightness as compared to LCD's .. only when you increase the brightness you get 'full white' colors ..but then it starts hurting ur eyes ;) ... so that takes a getting a bit used to ( esp since i'm comming from the X10 which has a LCD display). But honestly its not a deal breaker ..once you get used to it its no bigge.

Hope it helps you.

And yes Bye bye X10 ! :p Hello S2 for me ! :cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] LegibleEel:
Why do people instantly choose either the HTC sensation it the gs2? What about the Motorola atrix 4g, photon 4g and HTC evo 3d etc??
[XPERIA X10 General] Neo.:
I've been a x10 user and I got SGS-II IMO. It was one of the best choices Ive made.

Don't get these HTC fanboys, but there is a reason why it's called "the fastest and slimmest phone" til now :D

SGS-2 all the way.Although I love my x10 (RIP :( )
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
those aren't really worthy contenders imo..

he's going for the best
[XPERIA X10 General] diimaan:
Benchmarks and camera aside I don't think EVO 3D and Sensation are two different devices!

So I don't get the worthy contenders point!
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Just my opinion but id take the sgs2 all day everyday.
[XPERIA X10 General] LegibleEel:
I think they are, all have dual-core processors and 1gb of ram... only thing the gs2 has that they don't is a good looking screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
This is all really pointless when you think about it. All these mentioned phones are great....all have pros and cons. Its all basically gonna come down to user preference...we could sit and argue all day which is the best.
[XPERIA X10 General] diimaan:
sensation has only 768 MB RAM!

SGS2 is totally a different story! The chipset and the GPU is miles ahead of the competition!

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

this was my favorite! ;) back in the college days
[XPERIA X10 General] LegibleEel:
Yes very true..but I don't understand why everyone just goes for the gs2 and htc sensation when there's many other phones that have equal specs...
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Pfft! Big deal....the X10 has a unlocked bootloader now. The competition is now obsolete. Im preparing a package for xrecovery that will give us super amoled plus, 2gb RAM, and 3gb storage....and as a extra bonus im gonna add a fm radio

:)

Gotta love the unlocked bootloader
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
User preference.
[XPERIA X10 General] diimaan:
what about 4g, quad core cpu and gpu? :P
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Easy buddy, im a noob lol
[XPERIA X10 General] LegibleEel:
its just pointless...
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Hahahahahaha
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Alot of people go for the best specs and most powerfull just to have bragging rights. I just get what suites me best and design. If it isnt the best spec device, i really dont care.

I dumped my galaxy s for the x10, people call me retarded but i really dont care, the x10 serves me better.
[XPERIA X10 General] bonebeatz1234:
Both phones are nice, and both phones are gonna be dynosauars when the end of the year comes. They really need to slow down with phones making its makes it hard to have the best phone when something bettter is on it'd way. I say get what you like and don't worry about what people think.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
But they aren't equal specs...

Check out sgs2's processor and gpu...

Light years ahead of the phones you posted

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

The kind of processor matters too...

Plus have you tried any of those?

They don't run nearly as smoothly as the sensation or sgs2
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
I don't like touchwiz but its super fast and also superfast on x10!

And sence in sensation eats the whole RAM!

I know u love cameras;)
[XPERIA X10 General] LegibleEel:
well you got me there mate :P and I've only tried the Motorola atrix, and I gotta say with the 2.3 update its pretty snappy :D
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I haven't tried it since the update!

It isn't a bad phone though for sure. I'm sure if you flashed custom roms it'd be awesome.

I have a long way to go for an upgrade and i'm very happy with my current HTC phone so I'll probably wait for the sgs3 or whatever is good at that time.
[XPERIA X10 General] LegibleEel:
Yeh Motorola actually did something right with that update :D and won't be long before quad-core phones will be out now, shame I've got another year with my x10 :/
[XPERIA X10 General] DaveHTC200:
Nicely said, this is very useful! Thank you!!

[XPERIA X10 General] leechgod27:
battery sucks in sgs2...go for SENSATION :D
[Motorola Droid X2] matts175:
I tried a ROM and found it to be a bit buggy. I did a nandroid restore back to pre rooted GB. Was I supposed to clear user data and both caches before the restore? Or does that not matter with a complete restore?
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
I have to think that its prolly suggested that you do so?? I usually wipe/restore whenever I flash something major, and I have avoided a lot of issues up until this point ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
I have never cleared data/cache before a restore. It is not needed. Been crack flashing for about a year and a half.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rrushhour:
Hey all....I've had my Touch Pro 2 for a few years now. Thinking about upgrading to this Samsung. Is it really worth it or should I wait a bit longer for the Galaxy III?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
It's a beast, in my opinion go ahead and get the Epic 4G Touch. Worst case scenario, you have 14 days to decide if you like it... you can return it in the 14 day window if you don't. You have nothing to lose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajones42:
sounds like u might like a evo shift. i stay htc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latindor17:
If you are thinking of waiting for the Galaxy III, then when it finally comes out, you'll just be thinking of waiting for the Galaxy IV. But thats just my logic, get it nows, no questions ask. Unless your thinking about the E3d or the photon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hanson68:
If you can hold out this long with the TP2, then the Epic Touch should hold you over until the Galaxy VII phones are out. You are obviously a person of infinite patience.

As someone who jumped from the TP2 to the Evo 4G, I would say you should definitely do it. Android basically kills WinMo for every single task outside of voice command. And I mean, it slaughters WinMo. And I used to love WinMo.

If you still use your slideout keyboard all the time, your transition to touch KB could be rough, but I'd still give the Epic Touch a go since the screen (and threrefore keyboard) is so big. I rarely used my slideout on the TP2 (mostly because it froze most of the programs in the middle of the portrait to landscape transition), so I had very little learning curve going to full touch.

I wouldn't go to the Shift even though the form factor is similar. Wait for a dual core slider if you absolutely need one. The Shift is already long in the tooth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JAmerican:
I was exactly in your position but I pre-ordered and picked up my E4GT yesterday :). The reason I went from SERO to SERO-P is because I am a fanatic of AMOLED displays and Samsung's are the best in the marketplace. The device was supposed to support USB HOST (out of box it does not) so I am disappointed and I can't take pictures while on a phone call, which is also odd. Otherwise, this device is a powerhouse. I remember how I had to wait for the Touch Pro 2 to boot and then wait for it to show the lockscreen before I could unlock the device. Now, the device boots so damn fast that my reflexes feel slower than the phone (I might be exaggerating). The TP2 though feels like Windows XP after 4 years of use and no re-installs and E4GT feels like Windows 7 fresh install. If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rrushhour:
Thanks for the replies everyone. I really like the look of this phone and felt it is prolly time to FINALLY upgrade. I'm familiar with android using an Asus Transformer. I wanted the EVO 3d but held off for reasons unknown. I think this is the ONE.

forgive me...I'm OLD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Nothing to forgive you for, you're just trying to make the right decision and I can't blame ya for that. It's a great phone :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
I really think you will love this phone! Ive had an apache » mogul » tp1 » tp2 » epic1 » now epic touch... See a pattern? Ive still got the tp2 but this epic touch, even the epic1 blows the tp2 away... And this is coming from a long time windows mobile user, give this thing a try, go on down to best buy lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QWIKSTRIKE:
Check the new windows mango then come again.... the new windows is smoking.... and I love Android now, but let me tell you Skype built in, and such it is going to start heating up very soon with these phone OS systems!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
I just can't believe you have been using a TP2 for this long. Don't get me wrong, when I was with Verizon and it first came there I thought I was in heaven but 15 phones later i can't imagine still using it but I admire your loyalty but my god man..I mean..MY GOD MAN! :eek:
