[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoSeriouS:
Hello, I am facing a very frustrating evening with my beloved Epic 4G as the front half of the phone appears to not be getting power (i.e. no screen power/no LED when charging/nothing whatsoever). To top it off I have no backup, and I'm straight broke as can be. So I took the phone apart, and what happened is that the connection that goes between the back half of the phone and the front has simply snapped into two pieces. I've attached pics of what is broken and you can see my baby all disassembled as well (dang man this is not a very good situation). Bottom line is that my only option is to hopefully find this piece as the phone boots up fine, the keyboard lights up, and the phone even rings when called, etc... just no screen activity at all. I even Odin'd to stock w/o the screen working as the phone is perfectly fine except for the screen not turning on. I have confirmed in this video (Go to 4:05 mark in video to see the piece in 1 piece) that the piece I've shown as Broken is in fact supposed to be one piece, and given that everything else appears normal/functional I have no reason to believe that I have anything else wrong. Dang I love this phone and I need it to be working, so please someone tell me that they've got the hook up/connections to get this piece at a good price.

I take it you don't have sprints TEP? If you do have TEP I know some repair centers would fix it within a hour if they have the parts on hand.

i sympathize on your situation, also allow me to give you some advice, always make sure you have a soft cloth under the phone and you are not sitting on carpet. you can short out the phone. (static micro shocks)

Based off of my work in #twrp on irc.freenode.net documented at

Team-Win-Recovery-Project-Samsung

Team Win Recovery Project 2.1 for the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate

THIS IS AN ALPHA RELEASE

Install at your own risk! Be prepared by making a backup before installing and being prepared with Heimdall or Odin in case something goes wrong!

This has been one crazy week. I never imagioned going from TWRP2 as impossible on samsung devices, to a one click zip so fast.

Simply flash the zip below, you will have the exact same kernel as before, except with TWRP recovery magically replacing cwm.

This means that this can be flashed on CM7,CM9,AOKP,Gummy,CNA,etc regardless of whether you are using the stock kernel, glitch kernel, or anything else.

Note: You must be rooted and/or have a custom recovery already installed!

Disclaimer: Team Win strives to provide a quality product. However, it is your decision to install our software on your device. Team Win takes no responsibility for any damage that may occur from installing or using twrp.

Features:

Touch based recovery

Flash zips

Backup / restore roms

wipe cache,dalvik,/data

Misc.

Known Issues:

No usb support (adb, mount usb storage)

No /datadata support (can't backup or wipe app data)

reboot recovery broken (just reboots normally)

Report Problems:

I know there are a lot of problems as this is an ALPHA release.

However, it is still usable as a recovery, and a public release allows me to find and diagnose more problems.

So if you have a problem that has not been mentioned, post about it with a log, so that I may begin fixing it.

goto Advanced->Copy Log to SDcard

then upload /sdcard/recovery.log

Download: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/captivatemtd

I hope the bugs will get ironed out, so this can become the best recovery for us captvate users (and next other SGS devices).

Enjoy!

Looks very promising. Will try out in the next day or so.

Thanks

you are evolutionary success, act like it
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
uhm, sixstrings has something like this too
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
I realize. I have been working on this for some time. I hang out in #glichbeta IRC and contribute to their dev work... So they have had access to this for a while, and have started integrating it into the glitch kernel, which is also in AOKP.

Go ahead and ask sixstringsg. They are my prebuilts I shared.

Anyways, this has a few advantages. Ex: you can still run stock cwm, then flash this over your kernel to test it out. Instead of being 'forced' into using something before it is perfected.
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
So far the only problems I find are that b34 essentials is only half way flashing. TWRP doesn't like the morphing script. And butter cream does not work at all with TWRP.

You'd think that the banner in his sig that say "Glitch Developer" should be a tip off.

[Captivate Android Development] shaker2k:
What?? I thought these "developers" would have a "one click" super ROM button!
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
They do. It's called, "If you can't read the OP, one-Click your way back to stock because you're not ready for custom ROMS"

You know what? I think ima put that in my sig lol.

Though we should probably try to make our way back on topic. I mean, TWRP with any kernel? Awesomesauce.

Lol +10
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
Has anybody tried this yet? What's the results?
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
Alright. Lets call the arguing done, and just talk about the recovery.

Can you get me a log from /tmp/recovery.log

Or by going to Advanced -> Copy log to SD, and uploading /sdcard/recovery.log

It is stable enough for me. If you don't like it you can reflash a different kernel to get CWM back.

I have tried it. I updraded AOKP, flashed gapps, flashed glitch kernel. Made a backup, restored a backup - all fine.

However, as with every one else, I encourage you to give it a shot. The more testers, the better.
[Captivate Android Development] MentalDragon:
I am loving this recovery. Great job. Keep up the great work. Been waiting for this to come to the captivate.

Is This Recovery safe And Stable on the Captivate??

So I Don't know if this thread is all that active or the development for this recovery on that captivate ? im guessing its in Goo.im For Download. but here is why I post I read back a few pages and no one had anything bad to say that I read . I Run TWRP on My Hercules T989 .. But I seen that no one had posted in here since April . Are people using this Recovery? is it Stable and safe on ur phones ? I know there were some problem in early build's in Specific devices Like the OG Evo ..My Buddy Has Used My Phone and Seen My Recovery and Asked Me to See if I could look into it for him .. So im just Trying to help A Friend Pimp out there phone Any advice .?

Edit I looked on there Web site in on Goo.im under DEV/Teamwin??Was this development put to a hault?

Found The link Downloaded it Just Was Hoppen To Hear a bit of feed back or just others opinions Well Great recovery Love it on my Hercules
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
If there's any dev work being done on this, it's being kept on the down low. If you're itching to try it, devil kernel has an option to use twrp instead of cwm, though it's a bit experimental and does have a few bugs/issues.

Herp derp Captivate Tapatalk 2
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
Sorry about that.

I don't think any of the development is trying to be on the down low, but instead no one else has taken up maintaining this while I was gone.

The TWRP injector for SGS is done, along with the cwm zip. TWRP now compiles on the CM9 tree, and the board config settings are documented on rootzwiki, so there isn't much more to be done.

Anyways I'm done with finals, vacation, and a distro hop, so I should have some time to throw up a new upstream synced build.

Do a battery pull on your phone and try again.

Try another USB port

Try another USB cable

Try another computer
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifazh:
Tried all them.. how ever it fails to flash the modem..

Also when I flash with the One-Click installation, im able to go to the recovery menu and it show error accessing to various partitions like /cache /system.

Also Im unable to mount the built-in /sdcard using recovery.

Try Odin back to kj6?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Joshhayes801:
Can you mount USB storage in recovery? If so I would mount it, put a stock ROM in there and try flashing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
Also, this does not go in the development section. *facepalm*
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifazh:
USB mount doesn't seems to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I hope the other computers that you've tried it on had the drivers installed. It won't work if that's not installed.

Also, you can try to use another USB. Odin does that a lot to me too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifazh:
The problem still exists and any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You can see if the Heimdall One-Click guide in the second link of my signature can help you flash it successfully. Read it thoroughly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifazh:
@lumin30 Heimdall One-Click guide also didn't work. It fails to flash the modem. I have attached the log of the attempt on my first post.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
It is probably a computer issue. You replied to FB saying you tried his suggestions. Did you try another computer?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:
If Heimdall and Odin AND CWM cant access those partitions, then that *sounds* like bad nand blocks on those partitions. This sounds oddly familiar to the hd2. Either way, I think the phone is messed up hardware wise.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybo:
I had the same issue (not able to flash to modem partition with Heimdall or Odin). Tried multiple computers/cables, verified drivers... no luck.

I was able to solve it by flashing a CWM kernel (stock+Voodoo-T959VKJ1.tar) using Heimdall (extract the tar and heimdall flash --kernel zImage). I was then able to install the KJ6 CWM zip from this thread.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cpkelley94:
I had a similar problem a few days ago. I had CM9 on my phone and tried to nandroid back to GB, and the CWM recovery wouldn't mount those areas, same problem. Needless to say, I bricked the phone trying to restore. However, the restore did allow me to downgrade to an earlier CWM before it bricked, so that might have been the step necessary before I used the Heimdall One Click. Maybe try flashing a GB kernel with an older CWM? I'd ask someone else before you do this though, I'd hate to cause you to hard brick your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
At this time, the only way to go from an MTD system (most ICS for SGS4G) back to a BML system (most GB for SGS4G) is to flash a BML system using Heimdall (or, if you are so inclinded, ODIN). You can't "nandroid" your way back as the underlying filesystem is different.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thegunnertdt:
Help me please!!!!

I have the same the problem with this threat, flashing failed with odin and hemidall one click. Now my phone cannot start up any more(when i hold the power bottom its not start up?). I just can get in to download mode, that all I can do with my phone right now....please help me :(
[General Questions and Answers] Craig Capel:
I got around $500 bucks to spend.... and in my price range I have 2 options.

Galaxy S2 or the Galaxy Nexus.

I'm not sure which, all i know is my wife who has the Galaxy S2 has a lot of trouble with games, and the Nexus has a powerVR in, slower but more compatible.

S2 or Galaxy Nexus? (i'm not fussed about the 5mp camera on the nexus)

Which is more hackable of the 2 i guess lol or maybe i should wait for the Quad Core Beast from Samsung to drive the prices down a bit more...
[General Questions and Answers] greeky510:
If you are willing to get a used phone you have alot more options than just those two phones you mentioned. Look in the marketplace
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Depends which S2 your wife has. If she has the T-Mobile one or the AT&T Skyrocket, there's your problem. Those have Snapdragons in them, which suck for gaming. They're not real Galaxy S II's. They're only branded that way to make people buy them. Only the Sprint Epic 4G Touch and the AT&T i777 (Galaxy S II) have the original Exynos chip with the Mali GPU (the one in the real GSII i9100).

If you want a high res display with no microSD slot (16/32GB for GSM/CDMA models respectively) and pure mod-ability, get the Galaxy Nexus. It's pretty good for gaming, but it probably won't handle the next generation of games as well as the GS2. The Galaxy S II has a better GPU and processor, but a lower res screen (which actually means better performance), and 16GB + MicroSD card slot, and a camera that rivals the iPhone 4S's.

They both have great development communities, and all GSII variants are getting ICS officially. (the i9100 already has it). If you want a phone that will 100% get Jelly Bean officially, go for the GNexus.

Gaming/Media-oriented -> Galaxy S II

Pure mod-ability -> Galaxy Nexus

A Galaxy Nexus from Expansys I think is $399, no tax. I know the Google Play store is selling it for the same price, but with tax here in NY that's $450. You should be able to pick up either phone for around $400.

[General Questions and Answers] johnmia34:
try out galaxy nexus.
[General Questions and Answers] Gringster:
Although the Galaxy Nexus would be the usual choice, I honestly suggest that you check both phones' Specs carefully.

While Nexus's display is quite nice and it is "more famous" than the S2, in terms of processor or camera, there's no reason not to choose the latter.

Also, you should consider the release of ICS and CM9 for the S2.
[General Questions and Answers] Skv012a:
One things I'll chime in from my personal experience against the "pure modability" aka Nexus- the best experience I've had with my S2 was on the old, stock ATT rom with the clockwork mod recovery in the stock kernel. All the custom roms I've tried, above all, that the WORST battery life.

So while you'll be able to get more, useless modability out of a Nexus, S2 will work like a champ right out of the box without ANY issues.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
As I was working on the current ROM I am trying to get going I got agitated and so for a break I themed it and made this while trying to get the extended toggles and tweaks to work right.

There is no need to do any wipes, as long as you are already on the stock 2.3.4 v21y rooted ROM that I posted. This theme is based off of the Xperia Arc UI and is FAR from complete, but I thought people would like something different with some functionality so here it is.

This will add the basic quickpanel toggles as well as the theme that I have included. All that is included so far is SystemUI, framework-res and some other small adjustments here and there.

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything you choose to flash to your phone.

Screenshots:

To install:

1. Have v21y already installed.

2. Boot into CWM Recovery.

3. Just flash the zip do not wipe anything.

4. Reboot.

Team Kang for teaching me to kang.

And everyone who supports our work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Very nice! I shall try this out :)

Any chance you could remove the battery full notice as well? I'm having to keep my system sounds at 0% because that ****e ruins my sleep. ... that is the main reason I've been threatening to fire up the smali editor...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
LOL yeah, its not included here but I will do it in the next couple days. Im having a hell of a time with systemui acting right for some reason (probably all the smali edits). On what im running I have it already disabled and alot of other stuff, but its just insanely buggy at this point, so I put out the most stable thing I had for people to use.

I'm not sure why im having the issues I am, but its like nothing I have encountered before....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
How different is the code from the leaked 2.3.4? If you need to see what I did in Tsugi, feel free to rip anything that helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
I kanged quick panel almost verbatim lol. But, there is differences in ALOT of the smali. Especially around USB, signal, and points like that. I would almost be willing to bet you MIGHT be able to try this on tsugi and it may...fix some of the issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Well, the good news is I didn't touch the USB or signal code at all. IIRC, Weapon had some changes to signal code related to how some of the lockscreens needed to access phone state, etc. Which is why I didn't mess with that code with a 10 foot pole!

The USB code looked like when LG first grabbed it, it had support for USB host in place, which they simply disabled. They may have messed some stuff up doing that, and fixed it for the final 2.3.4.

It is promising though that this isn't just a simple recompile of the leaked version, maybe we finally have a stable STOCK ROM for the g2x after all this time.
