[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
Looks like the PARAMS partition was damaged on your device. Your PARAMS can be configured to boot the phone to any mode. it's the BOOT_MODE parameter I think. Using this simple string value you can tell your device to boot into charging, normal, download, recovery and several others which I have no clue about.

Looks like your device has valid bootloaders, but the kernel has been instructed to boot into charging mode. It won't finish charging mode because the qualifications are not met.

I'm betting that since you obviously have a valid PBL, and SBL, you can plug that into the stock charger outlet and have the kernel boot into battery charging mode, then turn it on normally. But definately reflash your params.

Also a link to i897gb bootloaders in my sig :)
[Captivate General] SlyDogJeff77:
First off.. Mind your manners and respect the forum for what it is. A place for all of us to learn and expand our knowledge on these awesome devices

Second off, you joined this forum a few months ago.. I've been here since 2005.. so please don't assume that I haven't read a "damn thing on this site" or that I haven't contributed to the site either! This is not the first time I've rooted or flashed or recovered from a bricked phone before. It's not even the first time on a Captivate. also, I've been reading since 9am.

I'm in real good with my AT&T guys so no need to worry about voiding anything. They already know and they have asked me to root their phones as well. They also offered me a job but they can't afford me.

So... the question wasn't "will they know I voided my warranty" or "do they flash".. the question was, "Can they do a factory reset with their equipment" which I admit should have been worded, Can they get me into download mode with their equipment?

Thank you for the information regarding the 3 button fix being obsolete. I wasn't planning on flashing it but good info anyway.

"take out battery, put in battery, HOLD both volume buttons, PLUG IN USB TO PHONE/PC, KEEP BUTTONS HELD UNTIL YOU SEE YELLOW TRIANGLE, it works, trust me." = doesn't work.. that's why I'm posting.

I held the buttons for over 60 seconds (thumb goes numb after that) and I also tried Just the Vol Down button.. Same results as picture attached in the first post of this thread.
[Captivate General] SlyDogJeff77:
so yeaaaaaaa... i stopped off at radio shack on the way home and got the resistors to make the jig.. aaaaaaaaaaaand it didn't work.

I was successfully able to get the jig to touch just the first 2 pins next to the head phones jack and i got the exact same non-animated animation circle.

SOOOooooo i'm starting to look into the fact that I still have insurance on my line :D
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Buy a jig instead if making one. They are less than $10

Edit

Did you try plugging in to Odin after using your home made jig? Also, make sure to wrap the jig in tape so your fingers aren't in contact with any of the jig. Contact with the jig can change the resistance, rendering it useless.
[Captivate General] nbell13:
Try the steps he told you again, but flip flop putting in the battery, and plugging in usb... i.e. plug phone into usb, hold both volume buttons, THEN insert battery. instant download mode. worked every time for every build number captivate i've ever tried.
[Captivate General] SlyDogJeff77:
that didn't work either.. :(

I just bought: 'SainSmart Micro USB Dongle Jig for Samsung Galaxy S Captivate / Vibrant' by Sain Store on amazon.com for $1.95 plus shipping. I'll let you know how THAT goes.

Also, Just a heads up. I have insurance on the phone. So I called up to find out what I could find out. First off, they don't care if you void the warrenty with software. Just so long as there is no physical damage and no water damage. Second, they HAVE to replace the Captivate with another Captivate if they have some left on the shelf. If they are out, they could have replaced it with a new Samsung Galaxy S II for the same deductible of $125. I'm holding off on replacing like for like right now until I try the JIG.

I may wait a month and see if they run out of Captivates too! lol.
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
I can do UnBrickable Mod for you if you'd like. I ask for $30 plus shipping (usually $6 unless you want overnight or something). Just send me a PM. I gaurantee that it will work unless you have hardware damage.

[Captivate General] SlyDogJeff77:
THE JIG WORKED!!!!! thanks guys!!!
[Captivate General] SlyDogJeff77:
OK so Thanks to the JIG, I was able to use the AIO root thingy and flashed back to stock, then rooted, then i was able to reboot to recovery, update.zip to clockwork mod, then installed cyanogenmod 7.1 zip from sd card.

then.. my 5 month old puppy promptly ate the JIG. lol...

Thanks everyone. Let people know that if they get the un animated wait animation screen like me, that the JIG will work :D

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcjury:
Hello People.

the problem, some time ago i installed froyo custom rom, somebody told me that he preffer ginger custom, and something like an hour i installed ginger,

for that i installed clockwork recovery using the x8 toolbox,

with recovery installed ginger, and it worked fine.

then i see that tool box let me install busybox, and installed busibox 1.19

that was stupid, when i reboted my xperia x8 get stuck on sony ericsson logo.

i tried using seus "there is no software for your phone"

tried something like 3,4 times...

then tried to flash with x10 flasher, to 1.6, and to 2.1.1

no one worked, really don't know what to do now :/

I have backup made from recovery, but i can't get into recovery using "back botom", or i'm doing it wrong?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elderduke:
you are doing something wrong, that's pretty clear.

First of all, define "stuck" sometimes you might have to wait for about 5 minutes...

Second, SEUS with phone closed - to install again rom, will not say- there is no software...will just flash new one over what you have...provided you have it installed in the computer with the correct drivers...

Problem that appears to be : you lost root rights by changing busybox. What you could do, was to root again...using same x8toolbox...

Hope is of some help,

Cheers,

I want to clear my phone. I will connect my phone to PC and i will delete EVERYTHING from sdcard (without pccompanion folder) then i will use flashtool with 2.3.4 .283 and root img.

Is it good method? Maybe i should leave more folders?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallytax:
Better use wotanserver. From there you can flash the generic firmware from the original region you're from.

Flashing with flashtool narrows you to the avaible ftf files. Most of them are generic UK...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeNeQ:

After flash you won't have root. But you can easily get root with the new one click method from the dev sector.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elnitrox:
all you have to is flash any tft coming wotan server or some people who posted

and then zergrush for rooting after that clean the bloatware and your good to go..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeNeQ:
Ok.

I will start from deleting everything without PCCompanion folder from sdcard. Then i will flash ftf from wotanserver, and for last i will use THIS rooting method.

Is it ok?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallytax:
If you choose to flash via wotanserver the firmware is downloaded within the process. So you don't need an ftf file!

You pointed to the right thread for obtaining root access. Good luck! It isn't difficult...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeNeQ:
1 more question. What files shoul i leave on sdcard?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallytax:
You can leave everything on it! There is no need deleting files...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonicHawk:
That's not true, if he wants to start clean, he would have to delete any files on his SD card that he didn't put there as well.

Android uses the SD to store a lot of system stuff and if you moved any Apps to your SD card, they would be in the .Android_Secure folder as well.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigsupersquid:
woo, I found this gem on a search and ended up at talk.maemo.org in the n900 section.

oracle released an armv6/armv7 headless 1.6 jre binary set! way back in april, but I hadn't seen it until today.

works in debian squeeze on my armv6 (msm7627) optimus v... it runs, but I haven't put it through its paces yet for any real testing.

I thought someone might enjoy this since for a long time it was really hard to find a jre for arm debian except for icedtea, which isn't as compatible with some things as the oracle release hopefully is.

here is the post including a download link for the jre.

another post by the same user points to an arm-friendly java7 download as well.

thank you Fabry.

official Oracle java jdk now released for ARM Linux!

download page

edit:obsolete.

since the sun java6 jdk is available for download to arm devices through debian apt-get, but it has a set of binaries which won't work on the armv6, someone enterprising might be able to patch the jre binaries into the jdk for a usable armv6 jdk.

/end edit

edit:

to use the 1.6 jre...

download it from Oracle

copy it to /opt in your armel debian install (or chroot)

untar it there

cd /opt
tar -xzvf ejre-1_6_0_25-fcs-b06-linux-arm-vfp-eabi-headless-14_apr_2011.tar.gz
ln -s /opt/java/ejre1.6.0_25/bin/java /usr/bin/java

thank you Dak.

after that, you should be able to use java at the command line.

further down in the first linked thread are instructions for linking the jre to fennec, probably adaptable to iceweasel.

edit:

newer JDK!

JDK 8 (with JavaFX) for ARM Early Access

for armv6 hard float applications. Installation instructions for the Raspberry Pi are linked from that page. You have to accept a license agreement.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DiehlC:
I know this was quite a long time ago, but you state that sun-java6-jdk is in debian repositories for arm, but I am not finding it.

Is there a download link for sun-java6-jdk on arm?

Hope you see this.

Take care man. And thanks for the great info!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigsupersquid:
It showed up back then when google searching for the package, but apt-get won't bring it in because of the jre dependency it can't fulfill.

they must've realized and removed it.

It may be possible to get the x86 .deb and repack it with the jre binaries or something... I actually had it installed on some chroot on my android phone to try building the android emulator on-device (which eventually worked, but the dang thing wouldn't boot in qemu.)

I'll dig around and see if I've still got it, but no guarantees.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] S0AndS0:
I reolize this topic is a bit older but thought it would be worth letting you all know that installing orical's Java is way easier on Android running Linux. I've been at it awile and have a script set up to fully install the soft float version of JDK 7 and am working on a downloader script (it is actually a tall order reliably downloading the source from orical reliably) to incorperate in when debugged. Eventually I'll be testing/writing one for hard float versions too but for now you all can find what has been tested as working with "Debian Kit" from here https://github.com/S0AndS0/Debian-Kit-Mods check the readme for how to modify for your preferred version of Java and enjoy :)

Update 02272014- the java downloading script I mentioned earlier is now ready for testing; you may use it to download jre or jdk either hard float or soft float (4 options) and the installer script has been updated for soft float jdk version 7u51. I'll be working on making the download script call up the installer scripts today too :)

Update 03032014- try the "ARM_Linux_Mods" script in the above github; it will step you through the download and installation of Java JDK soft or hard float.

UPDATE:

Even when I root my device, I get above errors.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigsupersquid:
you have to run Java in a Linux chroot.

What do you mean by run it in a Linux chroot?

If you means run it after type SU command, I did.

Is that possible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigsupersquid:
probably not. the Java binary relies on Linux libraries, like libc instead of bionic. not seen anything about running Java under Android except for their dalvik java.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr_jacky_2005:
Do you mean if I install a buildroot on my device, or pure linux from first (there is no android on my device anymore), then I can use JRE for armv7 and run a jar with GUI?

I've not had tons of luck getting Linux to run natively on devices, but if you can do it, yes that should work.

I, for the life of me, cannot get wifi tethering to work. Yes, I'm rooted. And currently running Senseless 3.4.5 rom. With no other customization on kernels, etc.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
just run the touchwiz launcher over any of the roms in the development section.

i personally like starburst but viper's is very good also.

that way you get all the goodies without having to add each individual component manually. just read the orig posts for each rom check out thier features and follow the instructions very easy.

then you can even throw a theme on top to change the look to your liking just make sure it's compatible with your rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] markgowen78:
Thank You!! I have rooted my phones before...but I still feel very insecure when it comes to some of this stuff. Not sure exactly what to do when it comes to adding themes and where I would get the tw launcher to put back on or if it would still be on!!

Thats exactly what I want tho..is all the goodies!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
both the roms and themes are easily installable

mostly it's a matter of booting into recovery (volume up + power)

and clicking install zip from sd card.

if you use your phone to download the file you don't even need a computer for the process.

as for touchwiz backing it up can be done a couple ways

any of these would work

1> before you delete it just make a backup in recovery

2> copy the file somewhere safe using a file explorer (i use es file explorer from market is free and allows root access)

3>just re-install the rom you downloaded it'll come with the launcher.

4>the orig touchwiz is posted on the forums and could be installed the same way.

most everything you could hope for comes with a decent set of instructions just follow them and you'll have no problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] markgowen78:
Thank you!! Appreciate it very much!!
