[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Something is going wrong when trying to reroot, I am in the clockwork recovery screen and I am not sure which option I should choose. The update.zip for the root isn't showing up on the root, the recovery.zip is showing as my update.zip. It I reboot system now I will end up in the awful lagging stock. I ran a Nandroid backup last night and just want to play it safe at this hour and use that and just go back to SRE v1.2.1a whci is on my Nandroid. Do I choose the Nandroid option or install zip from sd card.

here is the menu

-reboot system now

-apply sdcard:update.zip

-wipe data/factory reset

-install zip from adcard

-nandroid

-partition menu

-advanced

*******Go Back*******

which do I select? Pleae help.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You need to put update.zip in the root of your INTERNAL storage, not an external sdcard. You also need to be in stock recovery, not clockwork
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
is it? I was on my phone when I actually posted that. Kind of skimmed over it.

I was able to track myself without any issues tonight while I was testing it. It actually navigated me through the parking lot I was in too!

I have no issues with this GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] frenchtoasted:
Something (maybe Mobile AP) is causing IP issues when connecting to WPA/WPA2 PSK network for me. It not obtaining an IP address when I try to connect.

Edit: Flashing NO MAP version to see if it is indeed causing the problems, one sec.

Edit2:Seems that Mobile AP was causing problems with my Wifi, anyone else experiencing this?
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I know, I did, the one click root because my special phone dosen't like to boot into recovery using the button combo. This method didn't work, when I choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it goes into clockwork reovery screen. When the one click started it gave an error message that it couldn't install to the sd, it failed to install the update.zip. So when I click on reinstall packages I get the clockwork recovery. What now?

From this screen what do I choose to install my Nandroid backup? I want to get back to what I had when I performed the back up. I don't want to delete anything I just want to put it back to my nicely rooted, SRE running device. Please any help would be appreciated greatly. Sorry to be a noob, I read and read and read and try to learn. No where have I read how to install your backup from the clockwork recovery screen, this is first for me.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
1 - From where you were (nandroid menu, green text), choose NANDROID then pick your backup.

2 - Packages like this, that NEED to be installed as UPDATE.ZIP from recovery menu, REQUIRE that you rename the existing update.zip file that is used by clockwork. Rename that one (I use update.Clock.zip, so I remember what it is) and then put the update.zip you are trying to flash (i.e. this threads package) in the same folder (root of internal memory, named /sdcard), then reboot into recovery mode (quickboot is a great program for this) and choose REINSTALL PACKAGES. It will run the update.zip you just put there. When it's done, either rename it (i.e. update-sre122.zip) and save it, or delete it. Then don't forget to rename your updateClock.zip back to just update.zip so clockwork will work.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Awesome, I did a few GPS tweaks, nothing major, you can click the link in the OP and see what I changed.

WPA/WPA2 PSK is what I use at home, I have no issues with mobileAP installed.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I know to rename my backup but got so excited when I saw this SRE update I ran Titanium Backup and flashed with Odin, I forgot to rename the recovery file before starting. Thanks for the help, I will learn from this oversight. Thank god for Nandroid. It takes a while to run and now I wait for it to do it's thing. Thanks for the help and the great work. I will try to do this update tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Happy to help, and don't forget to update your signature! =)
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
Ok so designgears as for my original problem last night and a couple of days ago, I think I found out my problem! I have my fingers crossed here, I'm thinking it was the over clock-ed-ness ;p that was making my phone freeze up randomly. I flashed the no oc version and so far so good! Like I said tho, keeping my fingers crossed it stays this way. But just wanted to say thanks for your great work. And also I haven't done any research into the oc issue and why it was only happening to me, just wondering if you or anyone have heard of any similar issues like I was having. I just can't let stuff like this go, if I was doing something wrong, I want to know what it was!!!
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
I am over clocking and I have no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
Yea, I think I was the only one having this issue, I've combed through page after page and found nothing about what was happening with my phone. I'm just trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, because it had to be something I was doing for only me to have the issue
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I will update it as soon as I reflash tomorrow and start over, this update looks like it'llgave some GPS issues, it would be so much easier to be able to use Rom Manager for this update or flash it right over SREv1.2.1a. I'm gessing right now neither are options at this point. Thanks again for the hard work and help. Getting to sleep start on this right after work tomorrow. I hate that my phone won't boot into recovery using the key combo. I guess I need to learn how to use and ADB shell, to force into recovery instead of the keys. Are there any links on what tools I need to use to use ADB shells. Any books I can read. I can't figure out how to open an ADB shell on windows 7, I must be missing something,
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
when you have your android tools folder open in a command prompt c:\androidsdk\tools>

type

adb reboot recovery

it will reboot into recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
So I did this install, and now my phone is looping the installing files screen and rebooting over and over... It doesn't do anything else. :(
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
did you put a fresh install on this, and then put it into your root sd card and re-install packages?

You can't flash over the previous version.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You can flash over, just doesnt work sometimes... best to backup, try it and see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
brand new phone.... played with it for a bit.. put the update.zip in the root of the internal sd card.. booted into recovery.. it went through its thing.. and this is where I am now.
[Captivate Android Development] Con_Valian:
I believe I was having this issue as well while on SRE 1.2.1a. My phone would freeze up when I played games; not all the time but often enough to be annoying, usually while playing Homerun Battle 3D. I tried with and without the lag fix but still had the freeze ups. I then used SetCPU to stay at 800Mhz a few days ago and have had zero freeze ups since. This time I will be trying the No Overclock version.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
SO my problem is right now... that I can't get to anything on the phone... it literally just loops the installing files screen, then the att world phone.. then back to installing files.. over and over. I tried putting it into download mode by using the volume down and powering it on, but of course that doesn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
I've installed JH3 on here a few times, but my baseband says jf6. Is this based on something with sre?

or is it the unhelpful kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
Glad you spoke up! At least now I know I'm not the ONLY one. Maybe we both did something wrong then! Lol Cheers bro! its funny too because I couldn't really replicate the issue on demand until today, messing around with quadrant and neocore every time I ran quadrant right when it got to testing 3d it froze up on me, it got really bad for me. Almost as soon as the phone turned on it would freeze while scanning sd card.
[Captivate Android Development] Con_Valian:
Yeah, I've been meaning to chime in here. My phone was freezing during SD scans as well. I finally just backed up my apps, and SD card, formatted the SD card and started over from scratch; JF6 --> JH3, flashed the SRE 1.2.1a, did the lag fix, then restored the apps only. I set up SetCPU to stay at 800Mhz and have had no problems for the past 3 or 4 days.

Now, I was in the middle of going to 1.2.2 but I see that 1.2.2a is coming soon, so I'm not sure if I should just wait for the links. I think I will try staying on JF6 since designgears recently said that was the best right now.

Also, thanks to designgears for all the effort and time put into this. It's fantastic!
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
i am unable to install apps as it tells me "unsuccessful" each time i attempt it. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
omg help i installed latest version over sre 121 and its just staying at the att logo thing..what do i do?! please help this phones not even a month old =( please help thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
great ROM...just now i am unable download....reads " unsuccessful"....any ideas on how to fix this.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
cant even get to recovery mode..what are the buttons again? isnt there like a reset button on this thing? huhuhu =(
[Captivate Android Development] ant1pathy:
Just FYI, but I've never been able to flash a new SRE over an old one. Locks the phone up every time; I have to Odin back to JH3. Not a huge deal, but flashing over would be SO much nicer.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
UPDATE - SRE v1.2.2a

changelog in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
so am i helpless or can i still get my phone working again ant1??? what do i do..how do i use odin? cant even go to recovery mode just stuck at att logo..hay.. =( please help..any one..is my phone doomed or bricked if thats what they call it? or can i still save it..i got it from wirefly..im thinking of just going to att store and replace it and tell them just keeps restarting..captivate has enough problems already..lags, gps, etc.. =(
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Go to the odin thead and read the OP, all info is there.
[Captivate Android Development] itpromike:
So if I have the previous version of SRE installed and one of the lag fixes, do I need to flash back to stock before applying 1.2.2a?
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
My problem is, that none of the button combinations work to get the phone to go into recovery mode, or download mode.. After looking around this seems to be common on the new captivates. Is there some other way to trick the phone into it or is it just bricked?
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Mobile AP issue

Connecting device sees the phone and prompts for the WPA, but it won't connect after that:confused:

OK >>> Correction >>> I got it to connect, but it won't use the internet once connected. The WiFi tether app works, but the mobile ap won't?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Remove battery, SIM, and SD

Close Odin if it's open

Open Odin

Replace battery

Hold both Volume keys at the same time (NO POWER)

Plug into USB

Profit.
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
underpants gnomes...quick write down everything about big business!

Going to try a Flash over, will post back with results

Currently on 1.2.1a - Have nandroided and Titanium App Backup

Flash over resulted in boot loop, Just reverted back to stock, and re-flashed

everything seems to be working now :) Thank you DG!!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Read the OP in the Odin thread!!!

On a side note, my captivate is new as of this morning, all button combos work.

Has to be something with your connecting device, works fine for me...
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Debating if it's worth the upgrade from 1.2.1a to 1.2.2a.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Hey DG, are you sure your script to disable GPS logging is functional? even after I apply your update, cLogEnabled is still set to true on JH3 and there are a couple text files in /data/gps/log (same was true with JH3 on 1.2.1a at least for me)

edit: I looked through the update script and don't actually see any mentions of going near the jupiter.xml (I just skimmed though, so it's very possible I missed it or it's a script whose name I didn't associate with it)
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
What's the change log going from 1.2.2 to 1.2.2a?
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
it's in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Maybe, but my netbook connects to the phone just fine. The phone is not going onto the internet once the netbook connects.

When I use the wireless tether app (green wifi logo), then it tethers and works as expected.

I saw that Barnacle has some MTU issue with the Samsung Galaxy S. Same issue for the Mobile AP?
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Doh! Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] itpromike:
Nevermind I found that answer... I'm just blind lol.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
lol, check the OP under "Important Information" ;) it states that you "NEED" to flash to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
Nice work again DG! :)

I feel like the only way you could possibly out do this would be to release a Froyo version before Samsung\AT&T. :P

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Has anyone notice that downloading from the market is no longer successful?- I keep getting unsuccessful errors - I did not change any settings at all and suddenly I am unable to d/l. Even cleared cache....anyone have suggestions to resolve this...besides starting over again and installing the latest ROM? - I've had the v1.2.1 ROM for a few days and it has worked great. Thanks:(
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
Market works for me....
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
Not sure if this was asked. Looking for clarification. I'm assuming it just keeps what you have based in how it is named.

Does the Keep Stock Apps version just keep what apps you have (ex: Memo) or does it also add the ones you don't have?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
I've had this a few times over the past week; I cleared the cache for "Download Manager" each time, and that seemed to clear things up. Clearing the cache for the actual Market didn't seem to have an effect.
[Captivate Android Development] itpromike:
Anyone know where I can get stock JH3 from? I tried samsung-firmwares but apparently they are over their bandwidth for the month and the site is down...

They aren't over their limit, samsung chased them out of their domain weeks ago:

So far after reflashing my phone, everything is working fine with 1.2.2.

Read a few pages and i still notice some people are having a update loop. Is this from 1.2.2 to 1.2.2a?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
I think people were getting update loops from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 as well; I flashed to stock before updating to 1.2.2; didn't flash to stock before 1.2.2a, and got the update loop. Probably best to just do nandroid/Titanium backups, flash to stock, then flash this.
[Captivate Android Development] itpromike:
Oh ok... it's been a couple of weeks since I've been to the site.

On a side note I don't remember having to make an account before downloading the firmware... is this new?
[Captivate Android Development] whitesedan:
It would be nice to reflash again but i'm stuck at work and wont be off for another 7 hours.

I did update from 1.2.1a to 1.2.2 yesterday at work and was left without a phone for 4+ hours (missed a lot of important phone calls).

Good thing, i have everything on my thumbdrive to reflash. The bad, my IT department will have a hissy fit if i install or run any non-approved company apps in my pc.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah they added that with the site revamp... guess they want to keep track of unique visitors, it's good for expanding your nerd-boner on twitter =P
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Running 1.2.2a now, with the ext4 lag fix.

Seems to be working great.
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
Just noticed one thing - wondering if anyone else has the issue - if I try to go to the Live Wallpaper Ocean Waves I get an FC.
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
Ditto for me; wasn't one I was planning on using, so I just removed it. The Fascinate LWPs all work great though.
[Captivate Android Development] itpromike:
Are there any stock ROM's that can be flashed with just using recovery mode and update.zip instead of having to use ODIN?
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
ok so how the heck do I get out of an update loop? I have tried to enter into "download mode" and like a lot of other people I am not able to do so. I have tried every which way possible. Can someone give me a little more details on this? I have tried not touching power with the USB cable, all that does is shows me my battery charging. I have done it holding both button (no usb) and power, letting go of the power on send AT&T, nothing. If it's plugged into USB it just goes back to battery after the reboot. can anyone help? it just loops the software update... boo
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Just noticed after failed update and nandroid restore, my OC is gone, peaks at 1000.

Reflashing now

Anyone else see this?
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
I know this removes the boot animation and audio. I was wondering if the support for that is still there. In other words how hard is it to make a custom boot animation? Have the files simply been removed/renamed or is something else going on here?
[Captivate Android Development] mobilemaildf:
get in to download mode after stuck in bootload loop

Remove battery and sim and leave unplugged for a few minutes. Then hold both volume buttons while putting battery back in, then hit the power button. You are back in download mode..... Goodluck

My question is how long should odin take? I've been waiting 10 minutes and hasn't finished yet.....
[Captivate Android Development] mobilemaildf:
had to re run odin

now everything is loaded and rebooting just fine. you may get stuck on odin, but just rerun it and back to stock. :)
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
you should pass the file analysis almost immediately then it should start loading the img files.

Make sure that Odin is already running before you put your phone into download mode. It has been my experience that you will get stuck in file analysis if you start the odin app after connecting to your pc and initiating D/L mode.
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
yea.. not working. it just goes back to "installing software..."

im toast arent i? so much for my new captivate...
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
give this a try as well. pull the battery and sim, reinstall the battery, hold vol up and vol down, then plug the usb cable in. this should shoot you right into download mode. these key combos take time to master so that they work on the first time.

also reread the odin thread, it describes three methods for getting into download mode. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989 the method i mentioned is #3.
[Captivate Android Development] Superguy:
I'm loving this app and planning on donating. DG, I noticed you said you were working on a version for stock I9000 roms as well. Do you have an estimated release timeframe?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] itpromike:
I put the PIT file in the PIT location in ODIN obviously but in the PDA section I put the whole .tar file or do I just put one of the files from the .tar? I forget... I've only had to flash to stock once before lol.
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
What .tar? did you download a stock firmware that only came with one? If so, yes, the whole tar goes into PDA.

Then the phone needs to be in download mode, but odin needs to be ON before the phone goes into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
if you are flashing JH2/JH3 you just need to put the .tar as the pda file; the pit files is not needed. i was doing the same thing until i was shown the light by another member.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Ok this is what I had to do. Do all the above mentioned , then reinstall battery , hold down both volume keys and power button while plugging in usb at the same time, let the screen go on and off then on and off , when it goes off the second time let go of the power button and it should go to the android guy with the shovel. I had the same exact problem and this worked for me. Remember to have odin open all ready.
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
I've tried everythign mentioned to the letter. I just cannot get it to enter to download mode. I re-read the Odin thread, nothing in there works either. I sometimes get a USB sound connecting, then it cannto find drivers and just goes to a USB disconnecting. I am to the point where I pretty much give up. I honestly have no idea what to do next..? I am pretty much over freaking out.. just to the point where it sucks now.
[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
Maybe try rebooting the computer with USB disconnected, just in case your USB is hung up some how?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
If you are connecting but cannot find drivers you are at least halfway on the right track. Re-d/l the drivers, I think they are on the Odin 1click thread. Obviously, the ones you have arent right. THEN try.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
tried both. I'm not even getting the USB sounds any more. I think its softawre bricked. I've got this problem exactly, but I didnt flash the wrong ROM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=749641

I get a loading circle like it wants to work, then it just dumps back to the battery charging symbol when its on USB. When it's not on USB i get nothing.

I am halfway tempted to take it back to the AT&T store and see if I can play dumb with it.. "Jee I dont know, it rebooted and now it wont turn back on. It keeps installing some software?" I highly doubt it will work, but at this point I guess its worth a shot or I'm out a cell phone..
[Captivate Android Development] delirial:
Hmmm.. try this (from another post).

Anyway, in your case, you can try the JF6 ODIN: I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.rar
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
I've actually tried both versions of ODIN. The problem is I cannot get the phone into download mode. When I said it doesnt do anything without the USB I meant it just cycles rebooting and going to the software installing. When I do the 2 vols and a power, I just get constant rebooting- even when letting go on the second one it just goes back to "installing software".

I have tried literally all I can think of, find on google, find on the forums, and still nothing will work to get the thing into download. It will not get past the loading circle. It briefly comes uip, then goes back to the battery. My battery is fully charged at 100%, it keeps telling me that after I leave the phone alone for 5 minutes or so plugged into the PC.

I am willing to try anything... I just wish I could get someplace. When I hear the USB sounds, the phone hasnt changed to any other screen than a battery charging with 5 dots below it. I just wish someone else had experienced this...
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
i'm going to go out on a limb, you were running a captivate FW weren't you? If you had an i9000 FW then the button combos are different. Download mode is: phone off, hold vol. down, then plug in usb.
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
why do we have to do a reflash, before we didnt have to when updating versions, what changed that we have to reflash?
