There is a fix

I had the EXACT same problem m8....use this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1918601

Download the patch on your SD card use file manager to install the app....patch the new version. restore your phone to any backup you might have...reboot...your operator will now show and you will be able to make phone calls! I think I spent about 8 hours with this problem last night before I came across that thread. The guy is a life saver!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Ok, so you're probably on mdl and can use Odin. Others have used odin on a Windows vm on a Mac. There's threads that discuss this. If I can find one I'll link you buy try searching. You'll want to flash the stock firmware in Odin, PDA.

Edit, fyi it'll return you to stock and you'll lose all your apps and have to start with a like New phone.

Try a different USB port, different cable, and drivers. If none of that works try a different computer

If download mode works you should be able to get it back

Ok I paid out of pocket to have samsung repair glass. I sent it in rooted and unlocked. Am I still rooted and unlocked? I find it annoying that they felt the need to delete my rom that I had and refreshed my phone to stock when all I wanted was the glass replaced. Btw they did not send back a refurbished phone.

1) Do I still have my recovery and am I rooted?

2) If not, do I have to go through steps again?

3) If so, do I need to be unlocked to root?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionieins:
Hello,

the problem I've with this phone is that the wi-fi wont turn on, either the bluetooth.

So I tried different roms, stock 2.3.5, and then cm10.1.2 stable, and the same issue.

The last thing I tried was a simple one-click odin installation consisting in a super wipe plus the installation of a stock 2.3.5 firmware.

And here I am, facing the same problem. Actually when I go to "about phone", status, then I see:

Wi-Fi MAC Address: Unavailable

Bluetooth Address: Unavailable

At this point it seems like this is a hardware problem, and for that reason is more than welcome an oppinion in the opposite way
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
EDIT: nvm just saw your other post.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionieins:
Yeah... they nor bluetooth nor wi-fi can't be turned on, actually the wi-fi in menu in settings looks "bold", like you can't move the switch, you know what I mean?

what if my captivate was shipped with a generic non-original battery cover and that's the thing provoking this issue? I'm saying this because battery covers shoud have some little metallic things on the back that improves the wifi, gps and bluetooth, am I right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Actually, they should work whether you have the back on or off. I never saw that problem before you and the guy mentioned it in the 4 years I've had this phone. It's quite odd.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionieins:
Also I found this:

near to the screw that is close to the sd card slot, there should be a copper pin coming out from a tiny hole. Every Captivate has that tiny pin of copper, that should match with a white spot in the back of the battery cover.

Mine doesn't have that tiny pin; there is nothing but a tiny hole in that spot.

So this is what happen when youg get a refurbished Captivate on eBay these days...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Perhaps that's your problem. There might be a way to replace it.

You can try contacting Josh @ mobiletechvideos.com on that if you can't find the necessary info.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
I don't think this pin is the problem. Unable to turn on <something> usually means the system did not recognize the module during boot process. As it was mentioned already, Wifi/Blutooth on Captivate works fine with back door removed. Missing part indicates the phone was disassembled and someone attempted to repair something.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I remember reading a thread a year or so ago about a guy who replaced that pin after having problem with his cappy. He had done it by himself though.

I might be wrong but what you suggest would come from the modem and/or kernel which seems to work fine on every other phone that runs CM.

It's a shot in the dark but it's what we got for now if you check what the other guy has tried so far (in the other thread with the same problem). Could be a good idea to ask that other guy if his phone still has the metal golden pin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
I'm not sure either, not very familiar with phone software specifics. I'm a computer guy and in computers missing software controls means device not initialized. Kernel/modem software is fine, but there is something wrong with the hardware. I personally don't believe restoring the pin will fix the issue. On a good Captivate, even with this connection open (back cover removed), wifi/bluetooth works fine. A good repair guy have to take a look here and check all currents/voltages from SoC through amplifiers to antenna. Shooting in the dark is asking for more trouble. On the other hand there is no point to pay for shipping/repairs on a $90 device.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Good call.

OP, I believe your best chance is to try with mobiletechvideos or a electronic shop in your area.

If you ever find the problem/solution, please let us know so we can help others.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionieins:
Yes, I will! actually this thread had pointed out some interest, I'm saying this due to the over 200 visits it had in just a few days lol

Back to the topic, this phone definitely was disassembled because it was a refurbished unit bought from a big store on eBay.

This piece of.. hardware, cost me $89 by the way, and the only solution I got from the seller -as I'm overseas now and I can't ship it back without expending lots of money- was to get a refund for the half of the price...

So basically I got this $45 Captivate that only works for:

calls, sms, music, storage & camera

Still, I don't think that $45 is a good price of this piece of... hardware.

And yeah, now I'm convinced that the missing pin of copper it's not related to the wi-fi issue, actually that pins only exist to improve call reception as I was told by the seller.

Therefore, and after flashing many stock and non-stock roms through Odin & cwm respectively, I must conclude that this is a hardware issue.

So I'd like to know if any of you guys would drop me a link of a DIY for disassembling and replacing wi-fi hardware on a captivate, because I've another Captivate with a different issue: usb port broken, so I can take the good parts of both and create a fully working Captivate

let me know

peace
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
BT/WIFI main logic in inside SoC, can't replace it. There are few external components you may check, but you need oscilloscope, good voltmeter, some special tools and advanced electronics repair knowledge. DIY repair in home conditions is not possible. I can send you the repair manual, if you want. One thing you can do is to repair the USB port on the other Captivate. It is doable, but you still need some equipment like vacuum pump, precise soldering gun, solder wick, good flux, etc.

So lately I have been eyeballing the Xiaomi Red Rice for its price and good specs. My wife recently had a friend from China visit, my wife is from China, who had a Xiaomi phone running the famous Miui setup. So I started looking at the Miui and its pretty slick. I tried the Miui launcher from Xiaomi from the play store and it was nice but its just he launcher. I started looking for something more complete then that. I came across this thread from Gfan, think XDA for China:

http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5212006

Original Link for Miui (Official)

http://en.miui.com/download.html

See China Official Download:

Then select Sony Ericcson

Scroll down to 3rd party support and select it

It will take you to Gfan and use Chrome to Translate:

Look for this:

MIUI V4 models to download a list of third-party adapter, scroll down to Sony Ericsson

See:

Model: SONY Xperia play (A1i)

Download: http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5212006

Author: mame32P

Highlight link and open in new tab, then follow down after Google Chrome translates to Eng, or your preferred language, to the downloads.

This is 4.0.4 Miui (ICS MIUI)

If you use google chrome to translate emmbedded is a link for Miui kernel 720p and 4 parts to make the ROM. I downloaded and flashed the kernel and the rom an next thing I know I am running Miui v4 on the PLAY, and boy is it gorgeous.

I just got back from vacation last night but I will be making a video and posting a link of it here. I also am uploading now a zip, insie this zip is the meta-info and system folders, plus several other folders that say things like R800, R800x, etc. Inside these folders are jsut apks, mostly to get touchpad support although I have not fully tested yet.

Here is the download link:

http://d-h.st/VKj

I take no credit for this, I dont think this was even posted here on XDA only on Gfan, however if this belongs to someone here who created it please post and I will totally give credit where credit is due.

I will be making a video shortly later tonight and posting it here.

Miui English Forums:

http://en.miui.com/thread-3182-1-1.html

I am installing now, its got some neato video that plays before it install, like its Aroma installer on crack.....
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Okay, so the previous link is for V5 of Miui for the following phones, this is a port, so unofficial.... also just noticed its based off of CM 10.1, so in my opinion its not a true Miui ROM, whereas the v4 I have installed is from what I can tell a true Miui ROM. But I could be wrong, I am still new to this Miui stuff.

Another link, sorry for all the stuff, just wanted to share. This link has a post for GSM and CDMA Xperia PLAYs.

Okay, so it is Aroma installer but its really slick install and loader, really pleasant and bristling with options prior to install.

Edit - V5 looks no different then v4, with the exception V5 states rom as V 4.1.2 of Android

[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
I think you can
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
Yeah you can, although I find this version on MIUI a bit laggy...

So I'm using the one by MaxWorks now, and its a lot smoother imo :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
On the first page I linked the one from maxworks. I am using the same kernel as I mentioned earlier, and it doesnt seem to lag, feels pretty smooth. I will keep testing. Also on this one by CosmicDan is there any known bugs or issues?
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
No bugs or issues from what I tested.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I think I see what you mean by the lag. Whenever I am downloading/nstalling from the PLAY store of restoing via TB the phone goes slow. ALso, for some reason before I was able to flash the kernel and install Miui V5 by Maxworks, but now whenever I try to flash it it just bootloops, and yes I am using the supplied kernel for V5 by Maxworks.

Any ideas? Also, has anyone tried porting Miui v3 or whatever version equates to GB 2.3.4 for hte PLAY seeing as how GB is the best choice for gaming....?
