lol you were complaining about how you lost your apps and all that when you reverted to stock. that's how reverting to stock works. no one answered your problem because no one had an answer for you (to the screen staying black) OR because this issue has been described so many times that you can read through and find the problem.

basically, you complained that a developer who is doing this in his spare time for our enjoyment didn't give you step by step instructions on how to fix your problem. you got undeservedly mad at someone who created something for you just out of his own personal interest with no promises that it would work. stop being ungrateful because a mistake happened somewhere along the way. since it worked fine for just about everyone else, maybe assume the mistake was on your end and start from scratch and sack up instead of complaining about it.

we've all borked our phone at some point and forgot to do a backup and had to start over from the beginning and we've all been passed over for certain issues too. this is a community of volunteers and not everyone will be able to baby you through the process. and, not to too my own horn, I'd like to believe I'm normally very helpful around here when I can. my advice to you was to back up your apps before you tried something new and you literally exploded in a rant and essentially called me a noob.

if you don't enjoy this community, you're welcome to leave
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Thank You for that, well said...

These are my directions-

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP

Flash Stock

Flash the update.zip

Not flashing stock can cause unforeseen issues...

Fixed the whole gps fiasco. neways I'm trying to load a couple of apps that were deleted back onto phone. I took the .apk files put into sd card and using myfiles, hit install. it says installing and then application not installed. Am I doing something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Your post actually sounds dumber than the "stupid" newbs trying to learn from the developers since that is who they are developing for USERS, noob or otherwise. Instead of whining and being ungreatful stop being lazy and reroot. Then you have your Nandroid back up access, everything is there, After you reinstall packages for your root. Go download and install Titanium and run a batch and restor you apps and data. Delete the update.zip for root after you root. The Clockwork Mod folder in your sd card has your Nandroid backup in there, get the update.zip from there and put on the root of your phone and reistall packages in recovery mode and your done. Read the threads and stickies, everyone that plays with customizing their phones a millions times has to flash and flash and flash. Have some respect fot these developers and stop *****ing and being lazy. You actually sound like a noob with those comments. You knew the risks of messing with custom ROMS and Kernals, if you read it is the fisrt thing in everyone thread. WTF is your point? Maybe nobody said a word because they are working and are tired of answering the same damn questions that are answered everwhere, maybe no one was on here at that moment, sometimes it takes a little time for someone to respond.
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
first off @Kaik541 before you get all high and mighty, i know how reverting to stock works, i know how titanium and rom manager work as well, i never said i lost all my apps, i said i lost them in the market, which means i couldnt find them in my downloads folder... i aslo never said anything about the screen staying black, i said the phone froze, (to the point i had to do a battery pull) and this happened every once in a while, until tonight, when the phone got completely stuck everytime it powered on. AND, the freezing issue has not been adressed ONCE in this forum. never once did i imply that i was mad @ designgears either, i was mad that no one was acknowledging anything about this problem, i actually gave designgears props for his work... and the only reason i voiced my complaint was in hopes that someone (like you) might actually see that i was upset that it wasnt working properly (for me) and they would try and help a little bit. but instead wants to be a smart ass and basically point out something that is in this forum alone probably a hundred (or more) times. thanks for that by the way, really helped!!!! and for the mistake, it could very well have been on my end, THATS WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR HELP WITH! and last but not least, i never "essentially called you a noob" either. i was only asking that people like you (who probably have a good bit of experience) could help out with legitimate problems, instead of answering dumbass questions about how to get your thumb out of your ass or something. i dont know where you got this **** from but you got me completely wrong on this one, i did not come in here to stir up ****, or anything of the such. just asking for help and stating a complaint. i like it here and im sure the devs appreciate me being here too, as far as donations go. so im not going anywhere, ive already wasted too much time and space in this forum to keep going back and forth with you. so unless you actually want to help me with this issue, ill have to say im done with this ****. its pointless to type back and forth with you for hours on end about something thats obviously none of your business anyway. thanks for your input :rolleyes: and to designgears, i really do appreciate your work, and i didnt mean any harm, i was frustrated because i was having problems with such great work. so for that, i am sorry if it came across the wrong way. maybe i'll try again soon.
[Captivate Android Development] SeenNotScene:
The guy is pissed he messed up, let it be. This is a forum for development, not complaining or elitism. Let's help each other out.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Understandable sir... first time I bricked my phone I swore up a storm until I figured it out, Odin wasn't available yet either...
[Captivate Android Development] beazie0885:
i wasnt saying that newbs are stupid, i was just saying that there are alot of dumbass questions on here that are clearly answered somewhere else. why is everyone getting so pissy tonight? geez! im sorry! i do have to say that i will take what you said, and not ***** about it, at least you can be helpful while making a point at the same time! thanks for that! LOL

Hello all. Sorry I am new to android but have played around with some stuff already.

I saw there is a JH2/JH3 fix included in the Best Version. Does this ROM need me to flash JH2/JH3 first or is this going to do it for me?

Update: Never mind I flashed it and realized that i need to figure out how to flash the JH2/JH3.
[Captivate Android Development] SeenNotScene:
*yawn* So how long do you guys think it will take to over clock to 1.6? That would be sweet.
[Captivate Android Development] glio1337:
It probably can be already. But it wouldn't last very long which is why no one is doing it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
This belongs in a kernel development thread. DG's rom merely repackages Unhelpful's kernel, probably best to discuss it there.

Also, I believe most of the developers agree a 1.6 GHz overclock would be useless because it would require overvolting and would potentially remove some of the lower level stepping. If anything, they're probably more interested in undervolting to save battery life. There's no real practical benefit to an overclock that high right now

Sent from my Samsung SGH-i987
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
It works fine on JF6
[Captivate Android Development] magistrateee:
But isn't it recommended to use the other firmwares for increased speed?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
No, jf6 is the best so far, jh2/3 had its own issues
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I'm using JH3 and my GPS is quick and accurate. The OS is also a bit snappier. SRE installed with no issues along with Ext2 lagfix.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Sorry for the redundant question, but can you guys please confirm that there is no need to un-root the phone before running the update.zip? I'm still not clear about it.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No need to un-root but as DG recommends you should flash back to stock first to prevent any issues that may arise from not having a clean install to work from.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I currently have the stock rom, plus the OneClickLagFix. I removed the lag fix, and left the phone unrooted. My next step is to install the SRE v1.2. I assume there is no need to reflash, if the stock rom is already installed.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
You got it. as long as its operating stock, you should be fine. No need to re-flash
[Captivate Android Development] cevy:
Hi all,

I have stock rom, never flashed a new rom. I just rooted and installed the OneClickLagFix from the market.

If I want to flash the MobileAP Only package, for tethering, do I need to un-root and undo the OneClickLagFix first ?

Or should I follow a different process to just the get MobileAP feature installed ?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You can flash it over, its just mobileAP, nothing else.

No problem ;)

SRE updated to 1.2.2, changelog in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] Bowsa2511:
Stuck in reboot cycle?
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
i had the same issue on trying an "over flash" so i went back to stock (JH3) and went from there. Now Titanium can't get SU.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Flash stock first...
[Captivate Android Development] Bowsa2511:
Yah I had read the OP as it was being updated and saw that the flash over part, it seems not to be the case this time XD...

Atleast I nandroid'd + titanium'd 10 minutes ago (THANK GOD :P)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You should also do that before flashing stuff :D
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
yeah, definitely can't get SU from anything; titanium, adb shell, nothing, no popup asking for su permission elevation.

anyone else seeing this?
[Captivate Android Development] Bowsa2511:
Yeah me too.. can't restore my backup through rom manager for now :(
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I know you all are just telling him so he can fix it, but can't you just use a 1click root to access your rom manager? Was JUST about to start flashing, after backing up my Vibrant Hybrid setup.
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
yeah you can. just takes a few steps:

mount the phone and browse to the clockworkmod folder. copy the recovery-update.zip file to the root of the internal sd and rename it update.zip (remove any other update.zip file first), reboot into recovery, reinstall packages (the phone will reboot, and you may need to select reinstall packages again). at this point you should be in clockworkmod recovery
[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
Anybody else update from 1.2.1a to 1.22 and get stuck in an endless kernel flashing reboot loop?
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
read post 1560

DG said to flash stock first.
[Captivate Android Development] delirial:
Hi,

I just installed SRE on my Captivate (after flashing JF6 stock).

I then tried installing the rom manager from the market, and followed the the directions:

1. Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2. Flash Recovery.
3. Choose Captivate as your phone.
[B]4. Accept the Superuser prompt.[/B]
5. Use ROM Manager to create a Backup.
6. On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
7. Watch the backup go!

Problem is, it wont ask for superuser permissions. It also wont flash to recovery (which I assume is related to not having su). It was working before I reflashed stock for SRE.

Is ROM Manager compatible with SRE? Should I be looking at something else (ie: some other rom manager)?

EDIT: apparently I'm not the only one with 'su' problems. My apologies, I had loaded the thread a while ago and had not seen those posts.

thanks,

del
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
ROM Manager is compatible with SRE, something isn't quite right in this iteration of SRE so I imagine DG will get us an update when he can.
[Captivate Android Development] gordec:
Guys, I have rooted stock firmware JF6 with ext 4 lag fix. I am totally new to android. From my research, I believe I need to do factory restore then run the update.zip.

Question 1: is Captivate's factory restore going to be enough or I have to restore to stock using Odin?

Question 2: what's the difference in backing up with nandroid vs. titanium backup? Do I need to do both?

Question 3: Titanium backup has option to do batch update or create update.zip. If I just want to back up all my apps, which one do I have to run?

Thx for the help. I tried to look through threads just can't seem to find all the answers before I commit to this. I want to to SRE mainly to fix my GPS before my vacation trip.
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
i'll try and answer these as best as i can (since i'm trolling here it seems)

1. odin.

2. nandroid/rommanager is a full rom backup, think of it as a snapshot of your current setup that you can go back to (rom, fw version, everything). titanium backup backups your apps and their settings, this is useful for when you are upgrading fw or trying a new rom/fw setup.

ideally you need to do both. nandroid/rommanager gives you something to fall back to if something goes amiss. titanium makes it easy to get all your apps up and running on a new rom/fw setup.

3. i just do a batch for backing up all user apps and data. the zip would allow you to install titanium backup from recovery mode.

hope this helps, and again take it with a grain of salt.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Sorry guys, SU is messed up for some reason, will check it out right now.

My phone was stolen so I can't fully test this stuff :(
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Holy Cow!

Sorry about the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Bowsa2511:
That sucks! :(

Did you have findmydroid, or any other alternative droid "police" apps?
[Captivate Android Development] ant1pathy:
Something with SU is messed up, and won't allow root access to Titanium (don't know if anything else is messed up, but if Titanium doesn't work I don't even bother).

Sorry to hear about the phone; did you have insurance on it?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Wow! Really sorry. I used to use LOOKOUT for security, which has a useful GPS locate/make my phone scream feature, but it slowed everything down.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Should we reroot after installing 1.2.2? SetCPU doesn't get SU access either.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
set_perm issue, its fixed now, just download the zip again and reapply it... might have to flash stock.. not sure :P
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
on this like a fat kid on cake!
[Captivate Android Development] Bowsa2511:
I don't want to guinea pig this one again (5th restore/flash today!!), lmk if it's a re-flash or a re-stock-flash :*(
[Captivate Android Development] yokozuna82:
thanks which lag fix do i use 512 o r1024
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Im just going by what designgears said in the first post
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I would use 512 just to avoid any issues.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I thought that was meant for other mod stuff...mine is just rooted, side loading and non market. Do you think that applies to mine then?

I hope not cause installing every app and game would be a pain! :D
[Captivate Android Development] han.azuki:
data partition is protected. you cannot mount data using recovery without doing something. i tried update.zip and it didn't delete dalvik-cache.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
wrong post
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Ya I know, I did it wrong, just have to use different commands to make it work... I have a maintenance release coming soon.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Im pretty sure you need to be stock. Make a nandroid backup, and backup your apps in Titanium backup. That way when you succeed you just need to go to TI backup and restore your apps. Simple as that.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
yep it has been confirmed. Did not know Titanium was that powerful...I just came from windows mobile lol

I will do that tonight then :-)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Its saved me a few times :)
[Captivate Android Development] JakeH:
Should I use this after i flash the Jh2 ROM or before?
[Captivate Android Development] r0zik:
designgears could you upload the Samsung apps?

I actually liked a few of them.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I will be posting up a pack of removed items soon.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
added a zip with the removed apps
[Captivate Android Development] JakeH:
Design can you help me please, do I have to have the stock ROM to use this, then flas to the JH2?

I wanna make sure I have tis all set out before my phone arrives
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Doesnt matter what version, as long as its stock.
[Captivate Android Development] JakeH:
So I use your super rooter then flash the JH2 rom

Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] jkr500:
I have a stock version for now. I did root the phone . Can i use the update and run it over it. Or do i have to do something before doing this.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
should be able to flash over, if it doesnt work, flash stock and try again
[Captivate Android Development] jkr500:
Thank you very much. One more question. I did use the rommanager to do the back . Do i need to backup my pictures and programs that i want to keep before i use the update. Thank you very much for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
i did a restock then flash SRE. su is working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Bowsa2511:
flashed to stock, then sre?
[Captivate Android Development] ant1pathy:
Seems to be fixed. SU prompts come up now.
[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
Believe me, i know what you mean. Anyway, yeah, you have to flash stock first. You can probably guess how I know this. :)

Thanks for the quick fix DG!
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
i did not flash to stock i just reflashed and it works for the su fix .....1.2.2 to 1.2.2 fix
[Captivate Android Development] delirial:
I just flashed over the old version too. It worked.
[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
I did a one-click odin to JF6 and applied the old SRE 1.22 followed by the new SRE 1.2.2 and got stuck in the endless loop again.

Just flashed up to JH3 and had no problem applying SRE 1.2.2
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
Awesome DG,

I wasn't going to flash SRE because I use adb shell all the time and I couldn't use it with it not working correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] FrozenComa:
I ended up installing with the JH2 firmware and was missing my message center number. Anyone else have this problem? If you do the number is +13123149810.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Installed 1.2.2fix over 1.2.2. It seems that all SU issues are gone. Awesome work!

Is the OneClickLagFix recommended after installing 1.2.2? Will it work?
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Flashed over my 1.2.1. Had to restore nandroid backup just a minute ago, running JH3.
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
Flashing Stock will wipe all my data, now if i do a nandroid backup, flash stock, run sre 1.2.2 , then restore the nandroid will i be reverting everything back to 1.2.1a?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes...you want to use titanium backup and back up your apps and then you can restore your apps after you flash and install SRE..
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
yes sir you will :p
[Captivate Android Development] whitesedan:
It looks like I am the only one who had an issue where the update screen would complete but loop itself. I let the update ran for 10-15 minutes but the same thing happened.

This was flashing from 1.2.1a to 1.2.2 running JH3 OS. I am about to run the update again since i had to reflash my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you're not the only one. in fact, if you read, the boot loop issue was already a problem that's been addressed.

he clearly stated you have to revert to stock and that you can't flash over from 1.2.1a to 1.2.2, so good job
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
UGH! I just set up my phone and NOW you release this...

I hope titanium works like it is supposed to this time...

EDIT: actually after reading the OP, I don't see a need to flash this yet
[Captivate Android Development] -=chad=-:
Got the phone saturday, asked for help yesterday and successfully installed today.

Thanks guys. Now on to figuring out how to use what I have and to figure out what else is needed.
[Captivate Android Development] sicwan:
restore to stock? what does that mean excatly. settng the phone back to factory from the settings/privacy tab?
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
It means you need to flash with Odin one click back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no, you must be running JF6/JH2/JH3 with basically nothing but root. easiest way would be to use odin to get back
[Captivate Android Development] sicwan:
nothng but root? so the idea is to have NO programs installed when you do this?

i have JH3 and root/SU
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
If you have a root, it's okay. You don't want a bunch of other things.

Just put it under update.zip and run it!
[Captivate Android Development] sicwan:
can you defind "bunch of there things?" like apps? all im really after is the MobileAP and USB teather and removal of the ATnT logo.. I've already nuked the ATT apps
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Running backups getting ready to flash with Odin, looks like I won't be going to sleep anytime soon, lol. Looks like a nice package.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I now have 3 backups saved with Rom Manager. JH3, SREv121a, Tayu lagfix4 was my original setup that I was happy with.

Then I started playing with the Vibrant Hybrid, and i changed it a little and then clockworked that.

Then THIS came along and I got this installed and setup how I like..... With bloat (some removed) and Tayu lagfix233ext4 again..... backed up with both clockwork and batched titanium and noticed the MAKE ZIP option and I was like, huh? No way did I waste all that time doing it manually......

So, to sum up.... this is the fastest combo yet (check my signature for setup), and can someone tell me about that make zip option in titanium? Update.zip and normal recovery or titanium.zip and clockwork? I really like the idea of saving the step of batching the restore each time.....
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Oh, yeah, my test for saying fastest yet?

No lag after lagfix installed.

All my other preferences setup.

Quadrant: 2200

Linpack: 9.87

Is there a better test I should be using?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Just edited the quote.... don't know why, but now it's the right question.....
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
I just tested my gps. Had an accuracy of 10 meters on jh3. Question that never crossed my mind, is gps logging disabled with this super root, or does that have to be done manually? I never even thought to use gps so i have overlooked that particular question for a while.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Its in the OP :P

It's disabled
