Help! Bricked when flashing from cog...

HI All,

i was flashing back to stock from B2.2 7 using odin 1-click and have run into a big problem... The phone boots to the att screen, shows the galaxy S animation for a minute and then blank screen! The 4 buttons on the bottom light up and flash when touched but nothing else responds.

I have re-tried Odin 1 click, using odin on a cog 2.2 8.1 Odin multiple times... all same result...

I can get into download mode and recovery mode. When I go into recovery mode (2e) it shows the standard reboot, reinstall package, and delete options. below that it shows

#Manual Mode#

applying multi-csc.....

installing multi-csc

when I click on reinstall packages, below it shows:

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

opening update package

(in red) E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

Installation aborted

*I am assuming when I flashed w/ Odin it removed the update.zip i had there before??

When using odin and download to flash it completes the flash successfully, reboots, shows att screen, galaxy s and then blank screen...

So it looks like I have managed to brick my phone...

Any suggestions / ideas how to recover from this??

Thank you for your help!

Trying not to post to many redundant questions. I went back a few pages and didn't see the answer. I'm on Cognition2.2beta9 right now. Want to go ahead and do a CW flash over to 9.1.1 . Should I flash back to stock ROM and then go to 9.1.1 or can I just go ahead and go straight to 9.1.1?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
There is a app on the market rescan media. Once again a long shot but it will run the media scanner on your device. Maybe by chance it will work. Or just reboot if you have not already. Otherwise, no idea

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Sounds like you have to start from scratch. Remember to put the update.zip on your sd card once you're finished everything. I found out the hard way myself.
[Captivate Android Development] Beiruty:
What is going on with the market. I could not download a hoot.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremeskier:
Depends who you ask. Some say always flash to stock with no external SD and no sim. Others will say you can just go straight to 9.1.1 with CW with no problems. All I can say is that if you do go straight to 9.1.1 don't forget to disable voodoo first.
[Captivate Android Development] quadzilla500:
Anyone else notice this?

I have a lock code on my SIM card.

If I reboot my phone while it's plugged in I don't get the screen to enter my SIM card code and therefore can't make phone calls.

If I reboot my phone while it's NOT plugged in, everything is fine and I enter my code and I'm able to make phone calls.

Try justpictures from the market see if that works

[Captivate Android Development] NeoXerO:
why is the market not working??
[Captivate Android Development] Coldheat1906:
Ya, I'm having the same issue. I wonder if it is a market thing of a ROM thing?
[Captivate Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
I am reflashing to 9.1.1 right now to see if it fixes the market.

my 3G also went in and out all day even with full bars in good reception areas.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Yeah, I can't download anything either...been that way for like an hour now
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
The market is having issues right now on most phones, not just flashed ones, because of Google Maps update. Do not panic or assume it is a ROM issue because in nearly all cases, it is not. Server is overloaded.

Read the comments section:

http://phandroid.com/2010/10/28/goo...ew-search-filters-and-updated-places-reviews/

Recommend not flashing until the issue is resolved.
[Captivate Android Development] fosdos4790:
Same issue here with the market. Hopefully it isnt a phone issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Having issues this afternoon... it is not ROM related at the moment....

son of a.....

i wish i wasnt so hasty in flashing anytime i think there is a problem with the ROM and it isnt
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I just downloaded two apps from the Market about 5 min. apart with no probelems. Those who are having trouble try again.

[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Call someone without a flashed phone first as I did to try the same thing. One of my friends has stock Droid X not even rooted and having the same issue. Google Maps update today likely causing server overload.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremeskier:
Now I know you're lying! LOL j/k. Thanks for the update.
[Captivate Android Development] DigitalEagle:
FYI, market downloads turned back on. woo!
[Captivate Android Development] Bruce Inman:
The Market was down, at least for Cappys. Its back up now.
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
Wow, I was JUST about to flash to 9.1.1. And now 9.1.2 is out. So glad I waited.
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Same here... Gonna download but rather a ODIN version... Will we get one? DG
[Captivate Android Development] goojman:
does beta 8.1 have voodoo in it??
[Captivate Android Development] fosdos4790:

Stupid Question of the Day!

... I go into my Contacts and hit my favorites list... Click on say my brother - it comes up *surprise* someone completely different!

If I go into the phone dialer and hit my favorites.. its fine.

So I can live with it.. but was just wondering if this is a known bug of it is fixed?
[Captivate Android Development] wreckedfred:
Nope, voodoo was introduced in Beta 9.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Not yet 100%. Keep trying and it will work eventually. But still cannot update some apps. Finally got Google Maps and Beautiful widgets updated but it took a while. Other apps still sitting not downloading anything. It will fix itself eventually. Not an issue with your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] goojman:
much appreciated..sorry for the noob question
[Captivate Android Development] fosdos4790:
No problem I'm a noob myself lol
[Captivate Android Development] LMSarmiento:
Yeah.... Another ROM to Try!!!

Just as I am doing a full recharge of my battery so I can also do a log reset on my Cappy, and WHAM!!!! A new ROM :)

Downloading Beta 9.1.2 as I type. Once fully charged, it'll be time to ramp up CWM and try out the latest and greatest.

Thank you DG for the love you have for the community, and the Cappy's we use.
[Captivate Android Development] pillz424:
Media Files Not Showing up fixed!

I just found the problem. Just in case this happens to anyone else, I booted into clockwork mod recovery and under mounts and storage I found that /system was unmounted. I mounted it and voila! All my files showed up after the boot. Thanks for your suggestions though guys, I appreciate it!
[Captivate Android Development] goojman:
I have 8.1 installed, if I were to install OCLF 2.2, would it mess up my phone?? or would it interfere with TIBU???(TITANIUM BACKUP)..just recently bricked my phone & think OCLF might have had something to do with it
[Captivate Android Development] neo_31591:
whats new with 9.1.2? ? ? i downloaded beta 9, just after i flashed it, there was 9.1.1, i flashed to that...its not even been a day and now 9.1.2! ! !

whoaa...designgears is on FIRE! ! ! kudos! ! bravo!!
[Captivate Android Development] Disgustipated:
You have to turn off OCLF to use TiBu.
[Captivate Android Development] goojman:
so as long as I remove one or the other than I shouldn't have any problems,rite?? Thanx for the heads up
[Captivate Android Development] AllTheWay:
Did google release a statement about this?
[Captivate Android Development] tosh1:
So I just happen to just flash 9.1.1 and the market didn't work per my post 2 pages back now, but 2 hours later I am back and able to download from market.

So this leads me to think that its the MARKET and dont panic and just wait until it is back for most.

So far on this ROM no issues. Thanks again for this great ROM. What is the email for paypal for a beer on me?
[Captivate Android Development] rasroygbiv:
I had the same issue with oclf a few flashes back. Try moving all apps off sd card to phone. OCLF will install then move whatever apps you want back. Worked like a charm for me.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You do know that this ROM has the Voodoo lagfix and OCLF is not necessary...
[Captivate Android Development] BTTNext:
Before upgrading from 9.1.1 to 9.1.2 should I disable the Voodoo lagfix? Is this the protocol?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I always do..I think its a good idea but I do not now for sure if it is required...
[Captivate Android Development] fmvidal1:
cognition 2.2

so does this cognition 2.2 custom ROM does this automatically root the device as well??? or need to root ??
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes it does....
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
To my understanding which is limited clockwork does not understand ext4 which voodoo uses. So I believe it is a good idea to disable lag fix then reboot before you flash

Captivate

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I am going to include a version that does work with ext4 right now... ish
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
OK, stupid question...

In Odin, what does Master Clear actually clear? Does it wipe your SD card?

I always revert back to jf6 and have not had any issues but notice a lot of people mentioning they also master clear. Why?

Also, when I use TIBU I notice it re- installs apps I had previously uninstalled. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry for stupid questions but I am just a noob trying to learn still.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Yes. Master Clear wipes EVERYTHING off of your internal SD card.

If you had TiBu Backups of the apps you uninstalled, and didn't delete those backups before you do a restore, TiBu will reinstall them.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Wouldn't that remove the ROM Manager needed to re-install Cog?
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Yes, but just make sure you have a copy of the update.zip file on your PC, and put it back on your phone after you boot on stock. Then reboot into recovery, and go from there.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Fair enough.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I commented that out in my build.prop, made sure permissions were set corrcetly on the new file, etc...

However, it's still a no-go. Time Zone still resets to Eastern on reboot.

I am guessing it is for one of two reasons:

1. There's something else I need to do to get the system to read in the new build.prop settings

2. build.prop is not what is causing this at reboot
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
not just you, its on mine too. I just finished installing beta 4 and i am thrilled that the camera and vid camera are fixed. my only issue is my gps will not lock. i have not messed with the lbstestmodelaunch yet,might that be my problem?

:confused:

also...... is anyone able to wipe the batt statts through clockwork with this installed? i keep getting a failure message
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
I understand, it was hard to swipe the screen from any point but the puzzle piece to any direction.
[Captivate Android Development] DarkRS:
Alright, Without OCLF Quadrant = 972, after.. 1857 :eek: Wicked fast! Everything seems to work fine... The next step would be unhelpful's overclock kernel.. +Voodoo Ext4...

For now i am very happy with the rom Great job guys!
[Captivate Android Development] ty080279:
absolutely great rom

great job and way to follow thru!

you have been busy creating and perfecting this rom ( and all others who helped test)

i really appreciate it.

thank you :)
[Captivate Android Development] IllegalOpcode:
Well the reason for the contacts force closing is there was an AT&T app that it called the first time you used it. The service backed up your contacts. I am guessing it was removed. I did not use the service so Its not a big deal. It only called it once so it only crashes once. Anyway thats my 2 cents. Always good stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] rattarico:
Google widget

Has anyone one had problems with the Google search widget? I can use it once then have to reboot to use it again. It was like that on the original beta and its also on beta4. Sorry if this was already posted. Any Ideas why?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I just tried the google search widget multiple times with no issues...

How did you apply Cognition? Did you reflash to JF6, or did you us ethe Kernel swap method?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
delete the batterystats file: /data/system/batterystats.bin

you can use root explorer or follow instructions in above post
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
that didnt work, I tried it over and over last night. The one that finally worked was one that was attached to a post here. That is the one that worked for me this AM. Not sure why it worked and the other didnt.

adb push <downloaded file location>/android.policy.odex /system/framework/

Tested my exchange this AM too, sent beautifully, not blank at all. Scratch that- a reply is blank. A new email is not.. I also agree with others, my battery is loving this build too :)

Which lagfix are we looking at for best results? I have read form pages 90-108 this AM and am seeing mentions of SL4 and OCLF (included). Which has had better results? Anyone?

Also, why is rom manager included in B4? Is that for the flash.bin?

Another note- not sure why you guys are 1 click rooting after stock flash? Here is my process I have used since SRE, maybe save you some time..

1) Download Latest Cog

2) Take the file clockwork downloads (clockwork-update.zip IIRC) and ren to update.zip (attached to this post for convenience)

3) flash back to stock

4) Master clear

5) Put update.zip (clockworks version) on SD with Cog update

6) reboot to recovery

7) Apply update - this boots Clockwork

8) Flash Cog

9) Restore TiBu files

10) Drink a beer (optional)

Maybe that will save some of you guys some time for those not wanting to kernel swap. It's tried and true- done it over and over again for every release :)
[Captivate Android Development] sairoland:
So i'm on 2.2 Beta 4 and my replies via the Email application are still blank. I can change the subject, but anythign i type into a reply (to sender or to all) never gets sent.

Is there a fix for this? This is why i upgraded to beta4 from beta1 last night :(
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I used the android.policy.odex extracted from COG 2.2Beta1 and it worked like a charm.

But to be safe, I renamed the existing one to .bak first just in case I needed to put it back.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
It has to be your server not liking your phone, I have tested on 4 different exchange servers now with no problems.
[Captivate Android Development] rattarico:
Kernel swap
[Captivate Android Development] eelton:
Thanks, that's very helpful. I guess the point is that the only reason to root and install ROM Manager is to copy the Clockwork update.zip file to the SD card, which can just be done manually instead.

Is the master clear really necessary? The system memory is already wiped clean by reflashing to stock. I don't see any advantage to wiping out the internal SD card (or at least I haven't had problems in not doing so).
[Captivate Android Development] eggnumber41679:
sd cards unavailable

After flashing 2.2beta9.1.2 none of my sd cards mount. Under SD card and phone storage, they're all listed as either 00 for space or Unavailable.

Anyone know what's up?
[Captivate Android Development] delutedsoul23:
Ok im a noob to the captivate and i need help...everytime i try and flash 2.2 beta it says everything installs correct and when i reboot it goes to the world phone screen twice then back to clock work mod...any ideas
[Captivate Android Development] justdrew:
flash back to stock then flash the rom with rom manager
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
That would be wonderful DG!!!

We don't need to disable voodoo anymore with that right??
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
Thanks, but what exactly does "start from scratch" mean?? the phone doesn't boot to load the update.zip on the internal flash card.... I have download and recovery modes only.

Anyone ideas??:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
start from scratch as in use odin and then trying it again
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
Your update.zip is missing, or something like that. So you tried the opdin one click to go back to 2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
i have tried odin at least 5 times.... same result. Blank screen after ATT and Galaxy S...
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
make sure you run odin in admin mode (right click and select run as administrator); if that does not work try a new download and a new computer.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
i think you better RE-download rom file from DG's website and try again.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Try ODIN to master clear then flash new ROM, also make sure to disable any lagfix you have installed...
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
yes... same results... Odin completes with out errors, reboots phone and ends up at blank screen.

I have used I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 one-click flash as well as Odin with seperate PIT, PHONE, MODEM... files both with same results.
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
I will give that a try... I have sucesfully used these ROMS to flash back to stock before and they worked..

I will download another rom set and try agian.

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
voodoo lagfix has "disable-lagfix" in the folder. I have tried master clear but it just hangs... i read you use when the phone is booted up rather than from the download mode, is that correct?

What is the right way to use master clear??
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
and you tried running odin in admin mode?
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
yes, my profile is admin on my laptop. Using Win 7 x64....
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
So is mine but that does not mean you are running in admin mode. you must right clikc the file and select run as administrator. If that did not work, try another fresh download and a nother computer
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
sorry - now I get what you mean. I am trying right now.

Thank you!!!
[Captivate Android Development] bjjere:
Holy SH*T!!!! That worked!! Running Odin as admin successfully flashed the phone and it now boots! I had no idea Odin needed / should be run in admin mode... I have flashed the phone at least a dozen times with out issue.

Thank you so much for the help!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] goojman:
You are da man!! Very good insight my man... thanks
[Captivate Android Development] goojman:
I also wanna thank you for the tip. I didn't know that either..
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
Happens every once in a blue moon, I am so glad it worked. I fully understand the stress of thinking your phone is dead and then the breath of fresh air when it comes back to life. I think I will add that tip to the FAQ's

Damn DG works too fast. I just installed 9.1.1 and ONLY had issues with having to do contact.apk insert and EVERYTHING is running great. Why oh why am I contemplating updating to 9.2 now? I am feeling like a Flash Junky. I went from 9.1 to 9.1.1 using rom manager/cwm for the first time that it worked. Well I am already downloading 9.2 but I may wait to install it this time at least for a bit. I will re-read what has changed and decide. Thanks DG and a third round of beer money will be on its way.

Or a 2.0ghz oc would work too
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
yes you master clear when the phone is on and USB debugging is on..
[Captivate Android Development] NeoXerO:
I have z4mod installed on cog beta6.

If I want to update to this, should I just update from CW manager? Or should I master clear and odin to stock?

I'm asking this because removing the z4mod lagfix does not work for some reason, it says it's removed but it's not. Other people have this problem.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Master clear using ODIN and then flash thats what I did.....
[Captivate Android Development] pl_g35:
Im on the download page and i don't see a link to an (Odin) Cognition v2.2 BETA9.1.2 I can only find the (Android / CWM / RM)

[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
There is only the CWM version for now..
[Captivate Android Development] pl_g35:
So the only way is to install is to go back to 2.1--root--cw--then Cognition v2.2 BETA9.1.2? for now atleast

Use Titanium Backup to backup all your apps. Makes things 100x easier. Also use Appbrain to track your Apps.

Hey DG, loving 9.1.2, came from 8.1

My two requests:

Overclockable kernel If you could unlock the ability to overclock to 1.2-1.6Ghz, that'd be awesome.

Extra RAM kernel Unlocking the extra RAM so that we have 340 MB available instead of 304 MB would be great and should be easy to do.

Thank u for the response ill try it after dinner let u know if it worked thanks again for the response

Hey RockRatt, i would say keep 9.1.1, but unzip 9.1.2 & copy paste the hosts file (/system/etc) & possibly the Contacts.apk as well??
