Ok, so I deleted all user data, and tried to re-apply the B9 zip, and it fails at line 91. It says "Error in /tmp/updates/bmlwrite /tmp/updates/modem.bin /dev/block/bm112.

Anybody?

I think I'm about to wipe it and ODIN a stock installation back to it.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
no offense meant at all and please dont take this the wrong way, but isnt that a little bit of a step backwards? not many people can build a kernel from source like you did. i love your work and have donated to you more than once, and you have created a great kernel and even if credit is given to you where it is due do you not want people using this kernal for other roms? if xcaliberinhand did that with his kernal, a lot of the roms we have now would not be possible. same with atinm with his. i just think that when great work is done with our phones, or android in general, people should try to build off that work to makes things go even farther.

just my opinion and please nobody jump down my throat for this.

HELP!!!!

HELP!!!!

I followed direction to flash from 2.1 to 2.2, but now I'm stuck in a reboot loop, just keeps coming back to the Android System Recovery screen, and anything I try from there just keeps rebooting the phone.

Any help?

[Captivate Android Development] crydee:
Unable to flash anything

I'm using 2.2 Beta2 for awhile. I am trying to update to latest beta9 but everything I try to flash I get failed to verify whole-file signature and signature verification failed errors.

I get that with clockwork recovery mod and the same thing in recovery mode. I tried to use the ota 3button fix and I get the error too. I tried it because I can only 3 button into recovery not download. I don't think I can get my ODIN to work without download mode because it's not working now.

Any ideas? Should I find a stock rom and flash it then try to go to 2.2 beta9 from that?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
OMG...Really no one has even posted that in say the last couple of pages...I suggest you search and you will find what you need to do...

Flash with odin3. I don't know if anyone has successfully flashed from 2.1 to beta 9 using clockwork.
[Captivate Android Development] AsSiMiLaTeD_77:
The Odin3 file I'm seeing only has the PIT and the PDA tar files, btu no phone and SCS files, is this okay?
[Captivate Android Development] Diametunim:
Is this correct? I had been running beta 9 via a CWM flash but decided to start fresh for some reason and flash 2.1 and then odin to beta 9.

However under system settings it says i'm running 2.2 beta 6? is this normal?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Mine says Cognition.v2.2.Beta9. If you flashed with odin then you may have flashed the wrong files. Oden will default to the last directory used when opening files.
[Captivate Android Development] Diametunim:
Odd somehow when I clicked Odin beta9 download off of Ponack It gave me Beta6 no lie. Oh well. Got it sorted now.

Thanks.

Edit: Is there anyway I can install the stock lock screen? with an update.zip replacement? I absolutely hate everything touchwiz.

[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
If I'm not mistaken you are going to need Odin to either go back to stock or to beta 9 either one cause beta 2 doesn't support rom manager. I know I had to find a computer with Odin to get from beta 1 to 7. If your three button is screwed up hopefully someone can help you out with the adb method.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:

[Captivate Android Development] AsSiMiLaTeD_77:
Okay, I had to go back a few pages, but found that I need to use ODIN to get this to work correctly.

I know everyone gets sick of answering the same questions over and over, so I apologize for posting the question before I'd looked back further.
[Captivate Android Development] AsSiMiLaTeD_77:
Awesome, thanks
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
is there a way to just flash the kernel not the entire rom? or to extract the kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Diametunim:
If your talking about beta9 not entirely you can flash from beta8 using Rom Manager.

But it is possible to flash with odin as well. In fact I just did it less then 10 minutes ago.

Flashed stock 2.1 enclair -> Flashed beta9 using odin.

done.

Can I use the twframework from tayutamas rom with beta 9 or would changes have to be made?
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
Try performing a battery reset. While I'm not on Beta9 yet, I was experiencing bad battery life with other Cog builds while others were raving about it. I took the time to do a battery reset and now I have similar battery life to those running similar builds.

Steps I found and followed:

- Charge phone while ON

- Wait until your phone shows 100% charged

- Unplug phone from charger

- Turn off phone

- Plug in charger and charge phone until it shows 100% charged

- Unplug charger

- Turn phone on

- Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and reset battery stats. Once in Clockwork, go to...Advance -> Wipe Battery Stats

I'm no expert on this and there might be unneeded/unwanted steps in there, but it worked for me!

Does anyone has problem with the Messages app on beta 9? I can't open it.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Perhaps you might want to go back and reread my post. I made no mention of killing apps or using task killers. I was suggesting that you can use the app to see exactly what each app is doing and when, how much cpu it is using, the amount of time it has been using the cpu, etc. This would be quite difficult if the apps were not running would it not?

Anyway, If you did not understand what I was suggesting then the app would probably do you no good. :)

Are you talking about the ' messaging ' app? if so, then it opens just fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I saw wat u did thar :P I used this for a while actually, but I kinda dislike the pure black bar. Tried flashing the status bar over with Minimalistic 1.5 MM, but it messed up the battery a bit. Plus I dislike the system theme in Minimalistic, I only used it for the notification drawer before. Now, I'm using the Darkness theme and its been great, damn near perfect. I miss the circle battery mod though, and I plan on integrating it into the Metamorph files.

Above all, it is a really great ROM:)

so does this mean that we could use CWM now ?

do we have to disable Voodoo first before flashing this ?

Just checked with the hosting service:

Note: We have diagnosed this as a problem with our point-to-point link via Alchemy’s fiber. We have contacted their NOC and are working closely with them to resolve this issue quickly and permanently.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this outage is causing at this time. We just lost connection to our LAX data center, which is causing widespread downtime for our customers. Our network engineer is on-site and working to resolve the problem. We will update this post when we have more information and when this outage is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
Yeah, always disable any lagfix before flashing. No need to tempt fate. :)
[Captivate Android Development] afroduck:

Looks like if you replace the Contacts.apk file all is fixed :)

[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Loved Beta 7, worked perfectly for me. Now I'm on 8.1 and it's working great. I hope 9.1 is worth the flash and doesn't have any issues over 8.1. I'll be flashing later today.

EDIT: But why no Odin version? Odin flashing is easier and faster to me and even works from 2.1 stock.

DBL EDIT: DesignGears: Do you think you could add in the RAM tweaks from this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=816229

So far it's easy to get 30 MB of extra usable RAM over stock and still maintain complete stability. Maximum so far has been 52 MB extra over stock! And tha'ts just maximizing available mem. The OP of that thread also minimized the used amount of mem and got up to 258 MB of free RAM for the user with stability! Take a look, really interesting and informative thread. All kernel devs need to start incorporating this so the Galaxy S isn't so hampered by low available memory. Thanks

[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Create a file called "disable-lagfix" and put it in your Voodoo folder. Then reboot. It may take a while, and with no voice there will be no confirmation but as long as you let it run its course, you should be fine.

Update from 2.1 Eclair to Beta 9

Is it possible to update from 2.1 Eclair to Beta 9 using the Odin package with only the PDA and PIT or will that only work once the phone is at 2.2?

If it has to be 2.2, is there a location where older versions of Cognition are stored? I went looking for Beta 5 which had all the files and I couldn't find it.

For anyone who noted the outage earlier on the hosting:

Note: Wednesday Oct. 27th, 4:04 PST — Alchemy has recovered our point-to-point port-channel to our LAX data center and corrected the issue. We have also taken steps to see that this link will recover gracefully and become more robust.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:

[Captivate Android Development] ari197:
I think you suppose to put your ROM in the internal SD not the external one ..
[Captivate Android Development] philly fan:
Yes and when I select that it boots back into stock with no upgrade. I will mess with it when I get to the airport if I have time. Appreciate your input
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
You flashed back to stock 2.1 or 2.2? And it should not hang at the CSC. Is it still stuck there? Because if it is you might need to odin back to stock and try again.
[Captivate Android Development] philly fan:
Stock 2.1 the original ROM. Yes I will try I would do this right when I am headed to teh airport.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
From ROM manager, did you choose install Clockwork recovery? Do that, then reboot into recovery, choose reinstall packages and your in clockwork. Then you could just choose flash any zip from sd or boot up and use rom manager again.
[Captivate Android Development] mjriehl:

[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
See "gremlins" comment in my earlier post.

The internal SD card (unles syou select the external SD card --- oops!)

Because it is a card that you cannot remove from the entrails of the phone.

For all intents and purposes, yes.

Indeed

If you are running 2.2Beta1 and you want to flash Beta2, you can do it one of two ways outlined in the FAQ: Start all over again by using Odin3 One-click (JF6, which is stock Eclair, 2.1 update1) or you can do the kernel swap. Right now those are the only methods available.
