Did that the first time, downloaded 2.3b3 again just in case the first was corrupted or something. So even after a second installation it still works fine until the moment I put the sim card in. The icon that shows the number of bars keeps going to a circle with a line through it and then comes back to the bars and then force closes and then repeats.

[Captivate Android Development] TheNaturat:
Guys, could someone upload/give me a link to 2.2beta6? It seems to be last fully stable, reliable release, since all this messing with kernels etc. begun Cognition has some serious issue in every single version, obviously few new features are nice, but when I need to work with my phone I can't afford to risk losing basic functions...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I do not mean to be a jerk but it is not the Rom. I can not stand when people blame the Rom instead of figuring out why there is a problem. I have been on 2. 16, 2. 2 beta 6, 7, 8. 1, now on current. No major issues, this build is my favorite 2 days in. The only build I avoided was 2. 2 beta 8.

[Captivate Android Development] TheNaturat:
I'd prefer CW, but Odin is also fine.

I should still have a CWM backup I can extract mine from. I hope.

[Captivate Android Development] petrichor8:
Here's the steps I used to get my android_id from a stock backup from rom manager, using windows xp

1. (optional) create new directory "TMP" on your desktop to keep everything contained.

2. download unyaffs (google for windows version) & put in "TMP"

3. if you don't have cygwin installed, get the cygwin1.dll & place in "TMP"

4. download 'SQLite Database Browser' & unzip

5. copy your datadata.img file from location of backup to "TMP"

6. open cmd window at "TMP", and run command "unyaffs.exe datadata.img" This should create a new folder called 'databases'

7. using SQLite Database Browser: file->open, navigate to directory 'TMP\databases\com.android.provider.settings', open 'settings.db'

8. browse data, open table 'secure'

9. scroll down to find entry labeled 'android_id'

10. on phone, using 'android id changer' (comes with cognition rom) or other software that will enable you to change your android_id, enter in android_id value (16 hex), and click 'change id'.

Your phone should now have it's original android_id on it.

Special thanks to all who have figured out the various ways of getting to the data. My effor was just to streamline it.

(i can't put links in my posts for now, so sorry for the extra effort you'll have to use in finding the actual files)

I searched but couldnt find a clear answer.. I am upgrading my rom from 9.1.3 to 2.3b3. Is "Rom manager" on market? and do I have to erase my interneal SD?

Thanks for the help, Im bored at work, and wanna reflash, but dont have a way to backup my media from the phone.

[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
this is how i change my android id after flashing all versions of cog froyo leaked.

Flash 2.1 stock rom

Download android id changer

Run andeoid id changer

Press save id

Backup android id changer with (app and data)

Flash cog rom

Restore android id changer

Run android id changer

Pree load id

Press change id

Done.

Now you don't need to flash 2.1 rom to get the id anymore.

[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Actually, I figured it out with both methods. I used notepad++ and opened my old datadata.img file and searched for the android_id...

I did this with 2 different ROM's, it was an alpha-numeric # that started with 2

(copied it)

Then loaded the old ROM and from the market searched for device id. There were 2 progs. I grabbed them both, but, the one with the funny name was better, it also allows you to email the info to yourself. It was the same alpha-numeric #

loaded 2.2B2 and used android id changer. Put in the original. So far, so good
[Captivate Android Development] brunson:
For linux users:

Download unyaffs.[ch] from the unyaffs project on google code

make unyaffs

~/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-11-01.19.59.56/datadata.img .

./unyaffs datadata.img

sqlite3 databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db

sqlite> select * from secure where name = 'android_id';

Props to petrichor8. Identifying the yaffs was the key.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
That's definately the long way. You can just open the datadata.img in notepad++ and "FIND" android_id (Note, only if you have a nandroid (CWM of your original)

Also bored at work...

I am trying to uppgrade/reflash from cog2.2b9.1.3 to cog2.3b3. Is there an ODIN install for 2.3b3? ODIN is the only one i've used so far.
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
Your SD card data should be fine but you will lose your non-system apps.

So back them up if you care.

Needed items are:

ROM Manager - Download from Market.

2.3b3 - Place on your internal SD.

You should now have all you need for a successful flash.

I highly recommend selecting the wipe data/cache option when you start the upgrade from within ROM Manager. Doing this will require you to reinstall/restore your apps but you'll likely have a more stable phone when done.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Installed it via CWM - no change. Am I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] brunson:
Good point. This worked for me, too:

adb shell /system/xbin/grep android_id /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-11-01.19.59.56/datadata.img
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Confimed, JI6 versions work!
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
That is the android_id that everyone has.

Did that also show up for you when you did a full recovery to JF6?

If so, perhaps that persists through a restore...

I wonder if it would query the device for the correct ID if we just deleted out that field...
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Here is what I did to install this.

Install Super Manager from Market.

Download the file attached to matthebe's post

Open Super Manager. Go to settings and enable Root access

Move it to /system/framework

rename original android.policy.jar to android.policy.jar.old

unzip the file

reboot

Works great for me. Thanks OP
[Captivate Android Development] TheNaturat:
Thanks man.

BTW - I've found another issue with 2.3b3 - when you have it you can't just go to ClockworkMod Recovery and flash with other ROM, some error appeared on my phone - I had to remove battery for few seconds, then go to download mode with 3-button, and load 2.1 with One-click recovery before loading older version.

Tap Lock & z-guage battery

For anyone interested this worked for me

I went from v2.3b2 to v2.3b3 & wiped cache

From what I can tell everything is working fine so far.

I was able to get NiXXeD tap lock screen & z-guage battery to work.

I used an older version from one of his earlier builds.

Other than that, things look great... Thanks again DG!

DG has already explained how to change this. Set the global notification sound to the one you want for email and then set other apps up individually. Text, Gmail etc. from their respective settings screen.

Expereince good and also not good

I have been running this ROM for a few days. Mostly I have enjoyed the successes. Some issues:

1. Upon upgrade to b3 with Rom Manager, my external SD was wiped. Not happy.

2. I love using Skype, however I can't use my bluetooth Plantronics VoyagerPro - no audio except through the phone.

3. However the VoyagerPro works well otherwise.

4. I have had one crash that wiped my homescreen etc. also all my apps.

5. I am returning to stock for now and hoping to try again later.

The hard work is very appreciated and one can see that things are getting better!
[Captivate Android Development] vrmaier:
Yeah that's what I was trying. I did an backup of all apps and user data with TI. However when I try to do the flash, I recieved an error about

No the fault of the rom... but sad anyway...

Hi,

First I didn't put out the sdcard before updating since I had update multiple times and never had it wiped before.

Now that it is gone, I am back to the Android system recovery.

Reinstalling packages brings me to ClockworkMod Recovery.

SO I put Cognitionv2.3b2.zip onto my sdcard.

Now install zip from external_sd - brings me to installation and all seems to work, but I suspect that some necessary files are missing - since reboot brings me back to recovery.

NEXT - I formated my sdcard (on windows) and downloaded a clean copy of Cognitionv2.3b2.

NOW I can not longer access my external_sd card from ClockworkMod Recovery. Do I need to change the format of the sdcard? Also what files may be missing that I need, since I cannot get the phone into download mode.

Thanks for your help

- slightly desperate

I was having similar issues with the phone service continuously force closing. Originally I reverted back to JF6 from v2.2b5.5 and then flashed to 2.3b3. I don't know what was causing it, but someone suggested flashing to 2.3b2 first and then go to 2.3b3.

So I did. Flashed back to JF6, just to be safe, then to 2.3b2 and then to 2.3b3 and it's been smooth sailing since. Again, I have no clue what caused the issues, but this has fixed it for me.

Internal SD Card

Thanks for the rapid response. Can I ask a dumb question: How can one access the internal sdcard - I try and mount using recovery, and only get errors:

Under mounts and storage, I seem to be able to mount USB storage,

but on my computer I can't access either drive...

One makes sense, since this is my external sdcard which is not installed.

The other should be my internal sdcard - but no access...

Thoughts?
