re flash the rom. you erased the rom.

dont wipe dont format just flash the rom again. you should be back as if it never happened.

If your in a boot loop you might want to invest in a jig, only $6 on eBay

You also said recovery doesn't work? Have you tried putting it into download mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c5satellite2:
This might help you:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/39685-stuck-on-boot-loop/

If not google Samsung captivate boot loop. Lots of info on how to fix out there. Sorry I don't work on many Samsung phones. Primarily HTC.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
jig will not help bootloop.

you are freaking out because of the bootloop and not holding the button combo for recovery long enough.

take out the battery. and replace

hold both volume buttons

then hold power

keep buttons held for 5 seconds AFTER screen comes on.

if your phone turns on and starts to boot, you have recovery and download.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick8996:
You sure? Fixed my phone from boot loop!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dolei:
Tried that, isn't working :\ it just ignores it, shows the recovery screen realy quick then reboots again...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmilldrummin:
I've had this happen on my captivate...only option is to flash back to a stock ROM and work your way back up to CM9 or whatever you were trying to flash originally. To do this your gonna have to get into download mode. A jiff is your best friend in this situation as suggested by several others. however if the button combo for download mode works for you, that is best. Try unplugging the battery, wait for like 10 seconds and plug back in. Have a PC running, and make sure you have the drivers installed. have the USB cable plugged into your computer, and while holding both the volume buttons down, plug the cable into your phone as well. This should put you into download mode and your good to go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dolei:
thanks cmilldrummin (and everyone else) :D

I got my phone into download mode fine... but i don't think I have the drivers :s (googling still, but can't find them so far)

Also I got it into recovery mode earlier, re-flashed the same custom ROM but when I tried to load it it just kept loading with the blue android on a skateboard until the battery ran out :( (It was the same one, CM9)

Is the like actual android system openable in download mode? so I could re-write the /system folder? if not I guess I'll just try to re-flash a stock rom then upgrade.. *crosses fingers*
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limitz Cash:
Best way is to flash back to stock and start fresh. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmilldrummin:
Np Dolei, but yea back to stock is best, gives you a nice clean slate, with no glitches or errors
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garyth:
TRusselo is right. The other posts here are taking the sledgehammer approach for a simple fix. If you cannot get into recovery mode - you're doing it wrong, try again. reflash your rom from recovery and all done.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xArtanis:
Try doing this, this has worked for me since I can't get into recovery with the traditional button combo method of holding all three buttons at the same time.

Turn the phone off. Hold the power button, vol up, vol down. Once the ATT boot screen comes on, let go of the power button. Keep holding the volume buttons and voila, you're in recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c5satellite2:
Agree. Definitely go back to stock if possible first.

HI ! All ICS pics are very smudgy and not clear ( unlike in MIUI roms which are of great quality ) so is there any ics out there with good quality pics for contacts and does not always " unfortunately the music has stopped" crashes ? Tried almost all ics roms but after a few days they all seem to crash or dialler acts funny ( can't record or delete calls while talking calls or even receive a call when at times the reply button starts jumping and so on......) So pls, can someone recommend some nice ics rom or shall I stick to my XXJW4 gb and wait for XXLPH ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ledanur:
ICS pic badges

The contact photos you assign in ICS are sent to your Google Contacts account and are compressed enough to be visible for emails in gmail and such.

The dialer just zooms in on them, and that's why they're pixelated.

You have two options on what to do.

1) Just edit the contact and apply the HD pic of your choice.

2) go to your contacts.google.com, and change the contact photos there, so it'll be downloaded on your next flash with a higher resolution.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Hi all,

I found that some of the SGW users are wondering whether they should swap internal/external sd card as their internal sd card is full with awesome GAMES data.

Here i will provide three ways to give ur SGW more space for gaming. Strictly for root users only.

Internal/External swapping

This mod will swap ur internal sd with external sd. Before swapping, backup the data on both sd cards to ur pc and manually "swap" the data from each other.

Then download and extract the vold.fstab from the attachment replace the one under /system/etc by using root explorer. Then reboot and enjoy.

Mounting script

If u want to store and run game data from external sd without swapping. Mounting script is a good solution to it.

This script will mount the game data path to your external sd. In other word, it tricked ur device for redirecting the games to load data from external sd instead of internal sd.

What u need are

Script Manager - download from market for free [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9zLnRvb2xzLnNjcmlwdG1hbmFnZXIiXQ..

mounting script

Create a new script file in Script manager and type the following:

(I used the Android folder as example)

mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/Android sdcard/Android

This is for gameloft

mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/gameloft sdcard/gameloft

After creating these, u need to

cut the files in Android or gameloft

from internal sdcard and paste them to the new location on external sd. Leave the original folders empty.

Remember to set them "boot" and "su" and SAVE in script manager. Reboot.

Alternatively, u can use the one I provided or create it by ur own. Extract the MOUNT external.zip and put it into ur sd card. Open it in script manager and select "boot" and "su" then save. Reboot.

If ur ROM is init.d autorun supported, just simply put the mounting script into the /system/etc/init.d folder.

Directory Bind tool

This is an apk created by one of our forum members, slig. This is based on the the same mounting script method. U can use it for simplicity. All credits go to the creator.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20668905&postcount=1

GL to SD

This apps created by tnslf2k is similar to the script I made and it is user-friendly. U can download it from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbGYuTGlzdGdsQXBwIl0.

For more details, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18949753&postcount=1

That's all. Choose a way and play ur games~~!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] diederikmo:
i made an second partition on my sd card with easeus (ext2) primary.

Now i use link2sd and everything i download is automaticly linked to my sd card.

So my internal space never get's full.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yup, the option 2 (mounting script) gives the same effect.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vanir29:
regarding option 2, where should i place the script? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
U can put in under ur internal sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vanir29:
thanks :), i thought it should be placed in the folder where u cut the files :D, btw does this only work for files (saved files) what about apk? i mean in \data\app folder all the apk of the apps that i installed is there, can i use this script so that i can move my apk files? or this script only works with saved files? thanks again :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Theoretically, it should work but I have never tried before. If u don't mind doing this experiment, please tell me the result. I am not very free to play with SGW now. Dealing with galaxy ACE at this moment.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vanir29:
ive tried it, but it didnt work, im using bionic2 so my internal/external is already swapped, but i want my system storage to have more free space that's why i want to move the apk's of my installed apps, here the script i made: "mount -o bind sdcard/data_app data/app" (without the quote), i moved all my apk files from data/app to sdcard/data_app after i moved it all, obviously my root explorer and script manager wont open :) that's why reinstalled them, ive set the script to root and boot, but before i reboot, ive ran the script and try to open some apps, it opened so i think it work, after i reboot all the apps that i moved are gone :eek: but when i go to data/app i can see all the apk files of my apps there (looks like the script works), but i dont know what the problem is, can u help me on this? or it isnt possible? and let me ask some question, in application menu, there is an option that says "move to sd card", after i press it, when i go to data/app folder, the apk of the app that i moved is not there (obviously) and it can be found in mnt/asec folder, but i cant find it in my sdcard (which is the 1.7gb because its swap), can u tell me where can i find it? many THANKS :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
It is using the same working principle, i.e. bind command.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
"mount -o bind sdcard/data_app data/app"

May I know the location of data/app? if it is on ur external sd, it should be

"mount -o bind sdcard/data_app sdcard/external_sd/data/app"

If u got swapped ur internal/external sd, this script is not needed since all the apps+data u installed into "phone memory" will be in ur external sd. If u try to move the apps to sd card again, it should go back to ur 1.7gb internal sd card.

FYI, system storage is where ur ROM stored and it is fixed (~550Mb) as it can't be swapped. So all system apps will be kept there.

For normal non-swapped ROM, APP to SD can serve the purpose of moving apps from system storage to internal sd (1.7Gb)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vanir29:
data/app folder is in the root of the phone, that's why i use this script "mount -o bind sdcard/data_app data/app" what im trying to do is to get more space for system storage, and i think it is 1.07GB, when u go to task manager under storage tab, thanks for ur patience :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Ok~ I got it. data/app is under system storage. Maybe u can try APP2SD to move them into ur external_sd (which is ur sdcard in this case)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vanir29:
ok, thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] chocolemon:
is the 1st option safe for SGW with rio saputro blacknotes gen2 ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Not try yet. It works with Cow V7 so it should be working with Hybrid 2nd gen too.:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
how about option 3? i think its the easiest way...

anyone tried GL to SD app?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jomz878:
Hi Me can ask a newbie question > , < what if my galaxy W internal storage is full.? the apk or something will install direct to SD card ,? and also > . < why my galaxy W having only 350mb+ RAM ( i seen on my task manager ) it must be 512mb right.? > , < thanks and srry for newbie question. :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
no, in option 2&3, the apk and sd files are automatically saved first to usb storage or internal sd. Option 2&3 is for moving the games only saved at usb storage.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
First thing, ur sgw must be rooted to use these. To move apps from internal storage to external sd, u can use app2sd.

Secondly, 512mb is the total ram for our device. but part of it will be reserved for running the android system. 350mb is the available ram for u to use.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jomz878:
IC sir > , < ahmm so if my internal storage is full.? I CANT install APK .? or play games anymore.? even i had external storage.?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
U can still use app2sd for moving the apps to sdcard, part of the file will be moved to external sd under .android_secure

If ur phone storage is full, u won't be able to install apps anymore.

However, for a rooted phone, u will be able to choose the location for installing apps by using RomToolbox.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jomz878:
ic sir :( btw sir.. I can move apps from SD card using settings >> application >> manage application right.? > , < anyway sir.. me so scared to root my phone :( coz they said it may void the warranty.. :(

btw about method 1,2,3 ..

It need rooted phone.? :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yup. U need to have root user permission to run those scripts or replacing the vold.fstab.

Of course u can use manage application to move the apps, app2sd just categorize ur apps into more organized manner.

Technically, the warranty is actually for both hardware and software. Rooting may void software warranty but it is reversible i.e. we can unroot it or use Odin to re-install a fresh stock rom.

Root it or not? That's ur choice.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jomz878:
COOL Thanks sir :) .. i thought it could not be .. BTW .. rooting may void software warranty right.? so the hardware warranty still not voided .? :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yes. In case something goes wrong, just unroot ur phone or flash a stock rom before u go for repair. Hardware problem is not our fault right.

Just an advice, don't overclock ur phone. If the processor get burnt, they can actually know that is ur fault.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jomz878:
IC sir BTW last question > , < ( srry for super many questions ) ... its normal that my SGW getting hotter like 40+celcius when charging , playing , browsing, connect to SGW to PC via USB.. and how can i check my phone`s temperature.? > , < ( i hope its not off topic :( ) Thanks > , ,< :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
U can use the function of CPU Control in Romtoolbox to check the temperature. Download it from market will do.

Normally the temperature won't be so high. Should be around 30+.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bbmadzky:
Had done the first option and went very well. :D Thank you so much!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
i am quite confuse on this statement :D can you please explain this for me?

sd card/gameloft - location of files to move in ext sd

sd card/external_sd/gameloft - move to this location

so in script manager, must be:

mount -o bind sd card/external_sd/gameloft/sd card/gameloft

what files needed to set "su" and "reboot"? the script or the gameloft folder?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
It should be

mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/gameloft sdcard/gameloft

The sdcard is w/o space in between

and that is a space between the two path

After u have done this script, open it "as a script" by using script manager. The will be a window for u to set it as "SU" and "boot" (they are displayed as symbols, green android robot for SU; blue * as Boot)

. and U need to save it before exit.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
thanks got it :D

btw, how about if i have a new game and on same path?

hows the procedure?

is it just moving the folder again to external sd then reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
If u got another game store under gameloft, it will automatically be moved. U do not need to mount the path again.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
ok so no need to cut the game folder from sdcard/gameloft/games to sdcard/external_sd/gameloft/games?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
No need. My advice is to bind the main folder.

mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/gameloft sdcard/gameloft
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
i think it is also ok with gameloft/games coz ive noticed that some gameloft games still under the sub folder name "games"

for example, the GT Racing is placed under gameloft/games, while Asphalt 6 is placed under gameloft/games/Android/data
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yup.U are right. But if u bind the main gameloft folder, all the sub folders will be bound together.

This is analogous to

a,b,c,d are belongs to A

if u set A = B

a,b,c,d will definitely belong to B too.

What u did is like setting "a belongs to A = a belongs to B"
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
ok i will apply that on my next binding script - the sdcard/android folder :D

but since ive already made that script, i dont need to edit it again.

thanks for your help. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Sure. Welcome:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
this is suppose to be a sticky thread, this is helpful
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Thanks~ LOL~ but this is not very "crucial" for all users. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
hey buddy, the step 2 using script manager is the one automatically throws the installed SD File of any game onto the external sd right? somehow i cant make it work, i cant find the Boot and SU,. can you provide screenshots and what version of script manager should we use?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Here u go.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] a.fontenele:
Hi yewsiong,

1st of all thanks a lot for this thread...

I use method "1. Internal/External swapping" because I simply find it perfect since I have a Class 10 SD Card... :D

But there is only one thing missing to make it even better: the app install location...

My question is: Is there anyway to move apps to USB Storage instead of SD Card??? I couldn't find this hack...

I tried this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19311947&postcount=29.

It didn't work though...

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] [.::MDT::.]:
Any news?

I am interested as well in moving apps to the main part of the SD card (let's say the [16GB -1,7GB =] 14,3GB partition assuming I have a 16GB SD card).

Otherwise, I see no point in making the swap... am I wrong?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
If u swapped ur internal SD card (1.7GB) with the external sd (16GB), now the apps u install in usual way will be stored in the "NEW" internal sd (16GB) instead.

I don't know what does "(let's say the [16GB -1,7GB =] 14,3GB" mean. They are two different physical storage.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] [.::MDT::.]:
No, unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case, see also http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28895419&postcount=14

I try to be clearer.

Using the method above, it swaps the two following partition:

Partition A: 1,7GB (on SD)

Partition B: 14,3GB (assuming we use a 16GB SD card, because 1,7GB out of 16GB of the SD are used by partition A)

However, apps still are installed always into the 1,7GB, no matter if you swap the two partitions or not.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
U mean the 1.7GB is actually from the external sd card (16GB)? Let's try taking out the external sd and see whether the 1.7GB internal storage is still there.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] [.::MDT::.]:
Exactly, good idea! :good:

After removing the SD card, I do not see anymore the 1.7GB partition, I can only see the 1GB phone partition.

So, I'm a bit confused about the partition A and B (referring to my exampe above, or we call them "internal usb storage" vs "external sd card" I guess) because both of these 2 partitions seems to me to appear only when the SD is inserted, therefore I assume that data in these 2 partition is physically saved into the SD.

Am I maybe wrong?

Thank you very much.

I got that too, however it is still a soft brick so all you have to do is just flash the same rom you had again or just go back to stock with odin

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

So as i said i got a bootloop while trying to do the first method with miui ics. But i found a manual way which has more chance or succeeding and i have tried it ALOT.

Before we start i just want to warn you that all you apps which are installed on your sdcard must be moved to internal phone memory or they will be lost after swapping.

1- get a file explorer that has a build-in text editor and could use root.(i prefer es file explorer)

2-go to /system/etc and open "vold.fstab". Backup you current one and then open it in your text editor.

3-ONLY swap the word "sdcard" with the word "external_sd" as i will show you in the attachments and save you edited vold.fstab

4-reboot (i make a fix permissions before it) and enjoy.

Sent from my wonder and don't forget to press the thanks button if i helped.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] aldk:
hey there! i am a noob,so go easy one me,alright?

i have some questions and i (desperately) hope somebody WILL answer me since it looks like that this thread is abandoned.(it's been 6 months since the last reply)

1. swapping,(1st method) seems like it's a temporary solution,because i have once,panicked over when i flashed a cusrom which swap sd card automatically,then i (in the middle of panicking) reflash my nandroid backup(i didn't read the swapSD feature before,Silly me ) .when i saw the internal sd storage,it still had the previous size of internal SD(which is swapped before,around 3.7 Gigs). but then, the Internal sd card got back to default,which is 1.7 Gigs after i unmounted,removed,and remounted the ext SD back.WILL THAT HAPPEN AFTER I USE IT(you know,this method)?i am asking this,although i won't be so stupid anymore,because i occasionally remove my External SD and copy data to/from my friends' phones.

2.say,i have partitioned my ext sd and made an ext2 partition,So....i still don't understand about using link2SD(i have used it before,but i don't really understand the whole....THING)i tested its (ext2 part.) functionality by linking a game(DEAD TRIGGER,exactly)which downloads a portion of data into my internal storage(under USB storage app if you manually "manage" apps)to ext2 partition.but then,that data is still intact inside internal SD storage.IS IT POSSIBLE TO MOVE "THAT" DATA TOO?oh and i haven't swapped my sd,if you are wondering.

3.can you please explain to me thoroughly,what is the difference between the 2nd and the 3rd method?(although you said Basically ,but after reading some of the comments,it seems different.
