[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
1. I though I remembered being able to sideload back then (it has been a while) but could be wrong.

2. Not with the signature verification. You'd need a custom recovery (cwm).

Getting in download mode is something that always works (unless you mess up with the bootloaders = bricked phone), just like getting in recovery. It's something that comes with the phone.

Basically, not much can be done on the Captivate without a working usb.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintnova:
Any other suggestions with the download mode? I can get into recovery 100% of the time but the vol down + power just turens on the phone. Anyway to get a rooting app from google play? or bypass apk block? Is there anyway to update from att over wifi? I can check for update on the phone but it just hangs there. Guess its cuz im not in the states. Respect though!! If u figure out anything else to try let me know. Bless!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
A way to sideload apps without USB is to download the Google Drive app from the Play Store then upload the APK from your computer to your Drive. Next access your Drive on your phone and select the APK it should begin the regular install.

**you will need to allow 3rd party applications**
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintnova:
Trying that now. What do i need to do to allow 3rd party apps? Will it just ask me?

Damn!! the third party thing is the same thing that blocks me from installing apps normally! Damn Google/ATT monopoly!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
It should ask.

How to do it really depends on which OS you're running.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
try going to Setting > Security > Enable Unknown Sources

thats where it is on my phone but im running a custom Rom

if that doesnt work try to find anything in the settings that says enable unknown sources.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

So I did some reading and if your running stock at&t ROM you most likely are not able to allow unknown sources (because for some reason AT&t blocks it).

You might want to try download an app called AppInstaller by FunTrigger from PlayStore (I have never used this and I'm not sure if it will get around the 3rd party problem you are having but its worth a shot)

You should be able to use it to install the APK in your Drive.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Okay I think I've got it. Note that i have not tried this myself and take no responsibility if something goes wrong.

How to enable unknown sources on AT&T phone:

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > select Customization Settings Provider and then Clear Data

Next go back one page and select Settings and then Clear Data

Now in Settings > Applications you should see the option unknown sources select it.

Now unknown sources are enabled!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
I don't know how set you are on keeping your data but why not try a complete factory reset?

And if that doesn't work then just flash a new CWM and ROM,,, there are ways to do that without connecting to a computer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
He can't without a usb.. That's just how the captivate is from stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
Depending on whether or not his root holds up it'd definitely possible without a computer... I've done it before
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
Try to email the root update (attached) to yourself and save it to your phone's internal SD card. (Or just download the attachment from this thread in your phones browser/ XDA app)

Then boot into recovery and select reinstall packages. It should root properly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintnova:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
So I'm not sure of the condition of the root on your phone, or your willingness to spend like $2...

But if your phone is rooted and you don't mind spending the two bucks, there's a program from the app store called MobileOdin

I've used it before to flash kernels its great! All you have to do is place the files on your phones internal SD card (you'll probably have to use Dropbox or Google Drive or a micro SD card or just download straight on your phone) and MobileOdin does the rest.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintnova:
It says root beside Mobile odin which makes me think it needs root access to work (which is kind of ironic) maybe its just to flash roms after root. What do u think?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
Ya if your root isn't really working to well I wouldn't risk it.

But if you think you have some root access, it's your call.

I doubt it'll screw anything up...it just probably wont install or start up.

But again that's your call to make I don't know that much about MobileOdin
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintnova:
I can view the system folders but i cant add or delete apps because i get permission denied or network failure in Airdroid. And how do i install the roms you showed me from recovery?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
I'm not sure if you can.

Here is a link to a Rogers stock Froyo 2.2 firmware for the Samsung Captivate I'm not sure if there's a difference between it and the AT&T phone it might work no problem.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Once again, you can't get passed the 3e recovery signature without a working usb port. (unless on 2.1, before they added the signature verification)

MobileOdin won't do much without root and it's not built to root but to flash stock ROM (and some kernel).

You can grab a file explorer with root rights if you wanna make some changes in your system folder (like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer). That being said, I'm not sure you can change the recovery that way and trying could be dangerous if something goes wrong cause you can't recovery without a working usb.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintnova:
Explain to me the file explorer with root rights please. Does it have root rights on its own or do i need root? Your post leads me to think it can on its own. Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
It doesn't require root.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintnova:
I can see stuff but cant edit system. Once i heard them say that if i turned of customize.provider something, i could side load but i dont see that in my apps lineup. Where else could it be? Maybe i could stop it in root explorer.

I also out of desperation bought 3 100k resistor to build a jig (although 90% of me doubts it would work since the usb port shows no life) but hey, resistors were cheap so ama get to it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintnova:
can anyone for the love of god direct me to an update.zip that passes 3e recovery for the captivate?? Puuleeeaaaasssssseeee!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
The only update zip that will get passed the 3e recovery signature veification is one signed by Samsung. Period.

The final answer for u is that, since u r on stock froyo and not rooted and ur micro usb is broken, u r stuck with what u have...unless u get a new micro usb port. There is no other answer. There is no other solution. There is no other way around ur problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintnova:

If you could get around the AT&T block for installing Unknown Sources, you could just do what I did (it's a temp root, but once you have it you can use Mobile Odin to flash a rom or w/e). Just

be careful

, and as far as I know I'm the only one who's done something like that (sounds boss, then I accidentally bricked my phone, lol).

4-2ndtwin is testing the method on his phone I believe, but it only requires you having an external sd :) (my USB is broken too).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mystery?:
Jedi Master vs Jedi XX

What are the differences? Which one is better?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fandroid93:
Jedi x11 is based off the international version while Jedi Master is based off The-mobile version.

X11 is android 4.1.2 and Master is 4.1.1.

As to which one is better, I think it's just personal preference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xmv540:
Jedi master has wifi calling. XX does not
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
Jedi XX, 4.1.2, keeps its users running the latest GNII "carrier provided" update (ported to TMO, hence no WiFi Calling), this is ideal for those desiring to keep TouchWiz/Samsung functionality, while trying to be the "most up-to-date"

Jedi Master, 4.1.1, is completely based off of the latest TMO "OTA", but with Jedi "properties" <--- if "properties" is okay enough to describe what I'm implying)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mystery?:
Which one has better battery life (I have also heard the OTA update to 4.1.2 had drastically decreased battery life)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
Honestly... I know I am a but head sometimes but the question about battery life is like which movie did you like better. It is so open to different factors.

Apps installed

Kernel

Kernel settings

Brightness settings

ROM settings

Usage

Wallpaper (live or not)

Push apps

Just try one... See how it works for you. Let the ROM settle for a few days before making a judgement.

Notice, that although it was at only 10 1/2 hours but had 6 hours of screen on time... and still 30% battery remaining...

Well since PhxDroid86 posted his Jedi Master battery stats I guess I'll give my Jedi X a go..

It should only be used for Amoled screens. On Amoled screens black pixels are not lit up so battery usage is minimal (still a lot though).

It's been brought up before in The Base thread a while back. You're right, the whole screen lights up. Quite a few wake locks. Not battery friendly. Personally, I would not recommend it. But give it a chance.

4G phones are locked out of AT&T prepaid plans, so you can't use it on AT&T.

This site has a nice breakdown of prepaid carriers.

Definetly check out this website. If you see any pins in your area for 3G (HSPA+) maybe hold out until they bring more towers online. In my area they are adding a few miles of coverage per day.

4G phones are too powerful for AT&T prepaid. :cool:

What does that mean exactly, that the phone simply won't work at all (even for voice and EDGE)? Or that it will only work on voice and EDGE? Or it will work on 3G HSPA, but not 4G HSPA+?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jiggamanjb:
My understanding is that ATT checks the IMEI of the phone accessing data and if it is a phone with 4G capability it blocks it completely. No EDGE, no 3G, nothing, no data access. You may be able to skirt by for a while until they track you down and cut you off, but it is only a matter of time until you are cut off. Voice should work.
