[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin5277:
Guys need some help here,

I have a vibrant and there has been times that I have flashed a 2.2 froyo rom to repair the data partition on my internal sd card from a bad flash when a lag fix is applied.

I talked a friend into getting a captivate because he loved my vibrant so much. I had him running a stock rom, with unhelpful lax fix kernel and everything ewas gravy for two days until today. he said he got a sd card error, and the phone wont boot past the galaxy s logo, I tried one click odin from this forum, now the phone wont boot past the att logo, because it fails to wipe the data partition.

Can we use the vibrant fix for the captivate? I could try to lash that froyo thru odin and see if it helps, the phone doesnt need to boot up, I just need to flash and wipe the internal sd tru odin. any suggestions

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Have you tried flashing in the plain voodoo kernel (atinms thread is around here somewhere) to see if you can get the thing to boot at least?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin5277:
I have already tried to odin to stock, which didnt work and I knew that. The problem is I cant disable the lag fix, because the phone wont boot all the way up.

What we did in the vibrant forums was to flash a 2.2 thru odin. ( it automatically wipes internal sd and formats it back to original state.) then flash stock reroot and we are all happy again.

Is there anything like this for the captivate?

Unless i am missing something, which I could very well be flashing a kernel wont help the data partition problem will it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmwilker:
what if you took the stock firmware from samfirmware.com and did a normal odin flash with the repartition selected?

I'm a noob but that seemed like a logical thing to try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
That doesn't really answer my question... I asked if you had tried booting it again with a plain voodoo kernel. Obviously the full flash didn't work for some reason, and now your internal SD isn't being detected... which is strange. You could conceivably try flashing pretty much anything you've used on the vibrant though to see if that helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooomoto:
Did you do the Master Clear before flashing with Odin?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin5277:
no, my phone wont boot up to do a master clear. After doing some research it seems that the internal sd card got currupted. when I tried to clear data it failed on me, and gave me a cant mount data error in stock recovery
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xetrev:
you can master clear with the one click odin. Its the big button to the right of start that says master clear
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin5277:
I tried 3 times, It just hangs. I think the internal sd got unmounted somehow.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrioux:
You have to have the phone booted and in USB Debug mode for the odin master clear to work, this person can't get the phone to boot. Is there another way to put the phone in USB Debug mode when it will not boot?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snarkq:

I'm having the same issue

I did try flashing in a voodoo complient kernal (although not atinm's) but it still won't boot...

Isn't there an i9000 2.2 rom that can be flashed to captivate?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id10terrordfw:
Try the jpk tomorrow on the i9000 forum. I was able to go back from it to 2.1.

You may be able to just grab the 803 pit from samfirmware and then put it all back with the 512 when your done *shrug*

yadda yadda yadda not responsible for your phone blah blah blah

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin5277:
I did some experimenting on my friends captivate, only because he was going to take it back anyway . It was stuck in the bootloop because of the ota software update, then had a failed to mount error.

If you dont have a failed to mount error, your internal sd is not corrupted, it just needs to be repartitioned.

The way I was able to get my internal sd repartitioned, so I COULD flash back to original 2.1 stock was to odin flash a 2.2 rom, then odin the stock. So if you can find one that is ok for the captivate try it.

now let me make myself clear, you dont have to have the 2.2 reboot fully, you just need it to repartition the internal SD. As a matter of fact, the one in the vibrant forums doesnt even boot all the way at all, its just a tool for us to get back to 21. original firmware.

so try it out.

1. odin flash the 2.2 rom let odin do its business,

2. get back into downloader mode and odin flash back to stock.

it worked for me on my vibrant. I hope it can work for others.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakalaky:
flashed xxjpk and back to stock. Still get mount errors.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin5277:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/

this might shed some light on the failed to mount error. Its definately an SD card issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trump211:
@devin5277 will the parted linked to in the post you linked to work with the captivate? If its just a generic linux partitioning tool thats run through adb i think it should.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakalaky:
parted works fine on the captivate. In my case it didn't help though. Rooted then tried ffdisk and parted. Both give I/O read errors on /dev/block/mmcblk0. Looks like the internal sdcard no longer works.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] early81:
Hello,

I want to buy an htc snap from germany, but it has qwertz keyboard... Does the WWE ROM support qwertz Keyboard?

or... is it possible to change language in the htc snap germany menu?

thanks everybody
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Loco5150:
Yes it is possible. You just edit the CURLANG registry key to change the keyboard layout to German QWERZ. Search the forum there is lot of topics about that, in other device sections also if there is nothing at Snap.

It is very simple.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallonjp:
Ok, so I rooted my wife's phone using this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583291

I seem to have gained root, however, I am getting this error when trying to use Titanium Backup:

BusyBox works but the 'su' command does not elevate to root....whoami...

I installed BusyBox through Titanium and through the market. I also installed Superuser through the market. Not sure where my error is/was, or how to fix it, does anyone have any ideas?

Everything went fine until the end, it did not reboot into recovery, but rebooted normally. I was able to get to recovery by powering on while holding the home button and was able to create a nandroid backup, so no problems there.

I'd like to be able to backup all of her apps before flashing a new ROM, but can't do so with Titanium before I figure out this error.

Will the issues above cause me any problems if I flash a 2.1 ROM, or will I be good to go, aside from having to re-install all of her apps?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I finally update to JH7 - what a pain in the A$$!

I removed lag fix and flashed back to JH6 then tried the update - failed at 50%; set the date forward and it failed again. Did a master reset on the phone - wipes all data - this lets you redownload the update without waiting 24 hours - failed at 50% again, tried one more time, same result.

So i turned to Kies. Kies would not detect my phone until I turned on mass storage, then back to Kies. But then Kies wanted to update itself and nothing. So back to an old version of Kies and I got some error in the middle of the telling me there was an update.

Finally I found this thread:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/185812-jh7-firmware-upgrade-successful-through-kies.html

He says that 1.5.3 version of keys works and the update from kies to get to this version is broken (yes I had this experience) - but the download link to Kies in Korea is slow.

So i found this link to Kies on the AT&T forums:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=17489KPQ

I did not registry cleaning, but i did remove old Kies, delete directory, reboot and install this new Kies. My phone was detected and the update was pushed down to the phone via Download mode.

Kernel is the same, so I will probably put voodoo lagfix back soon.

Exchange works fine for me, so not sure what others see as an issue.

Don't update QuickOffice! The one in JH7 is newer and better.
[Captivate General] j101399j:
I can personally verify that this worked. Flashed Odin3 one click to get back to JF6 stock, then followed the directions. Works perfectly and I now have the official JH7 update on my phone
[Captivate General] anlog:
It Works!

This method worked for me as well!

I had originally rooted/sideloaded/removed AT&T bloat on my original stock firmware. OTA update wouldn't work. Restored original stock firmware with Odin and master reset, but update would always fail at 50%.

Using KIES to update worked, and it is the actual AT&T firmware update since it installs QuickOffice (I don't believe the JH7 on samfirmware.com adds QuickOffice).

GPS also works after the update with the "wireless network" option enabled, but the test mode appears to be locked with this update.
[Captivate General] nyydynasty:
OTA update didnt work for me but Kies did. thanks to the OP.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
My phone seems to be getting very slow after flashing a few roms and restoring apps and system data with TiB, even after using oden. I want to reflash again but this time restore the bare minimum of system data. I have figured out where all of that data is, except for wifi passwords. Does anyone know what system data file holds it?
[Captivate General] DJNgoma:
It's called Wi-Fi Access Points, I also load the bare minimum when flashing ROMs. So I backup my SMSs and APNs as well with apps SMS & APN Backup and Restore respectively.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Thanks. I don't know how I missed that.

unyaffs is a command line tool

open CMD in windows

then unyaffs "filename of your backup"

it will basically Unzip the entire thing into regular files you can click on, reuse, and re-install back into your phone

hey dears,

I tried for some days to flash my rom on 0827 in my Zenithink ZT-180. Now I got it and the next problem let me break my work: Last week I bought a 4GB MicroSD Card from Kingston. First it didn't work, but then I could format it. Then I could use the slideme market and so on, but now it don't work anymore. My tablet don't react, when I push the card in. So I can't install any app. Please help me!

Thanks a lot

Christian
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Steppenwolf23:
I got it

So. Now next problem was solved. My 4GB SDHC card was damaged. Thank you for your interessting
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exek215:
Quick question, when apps are moved to the sd card do they stay there when you hard reset? Can I load them back up from there after the reset? If so how? Or do I reload them all from the market? Can't find the answer in search. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n10secapricorn:
In my experience, after doing a hard reset or wipe, I has to reinstall my apps from the market. Before I do something like that though, I usually sync my phone with my appbrain account. You could try the Titanium App as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exek215:
Great thanks... Not rooted so no true backup for me... But thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n10secapricorn:
No problem. I would suggest getting appbrain from the market and sync your apps before doing anything major.

You can use the radio tool in signature... make sure that you use your own recovery... the files bundled with the tool are for the 32A device.

Ok so we've all heard the news about CHT2.0 and all its great new features.....

Far and away the best new thing for me is the beast that is Micheldiamond's CHTS....

(If you dont know what Im talking about then check here)

What Im so excited about is that if you kill sense through too much tweaking ( ive lost count of how many times) you can get back to where you were before the crash in a matter of minutes........ its literaly a manila safety net...

It also gives theme makers the ability to dump a whole CHT theme / layout in such a way that it can be implemented in a much easier way than installing numerous cabs and individual tweaks.......

The point of this thread is to see how dumping a layout and applying it to someone elses device works....

This is mainly aimed @ miller710 who kindly agreed to help me test this but I figured Id post it in the forum for anyone who wasnt aware of this great new feature........

Ok on to buisness........

If you'd like to test out how this works then please follow the steps below and let me know how it works for you.....

This is not a release of a theme, its more of an "experiment en mass" with this new feature........

I've attached the layout I posted in the today screen thread here

If your not yet familiar with CHTS I'd recommend that you spend some time playing around and getting used to it first........

First of all, make sure you have CHT Scheduler installed and your baseline saved.........

Save any layout your currently using and check that it all works as it should by saving it.......loading your baseline then reapplying your saved layout....

If it all comes back in all the right places then we are good to go...... :)

Unzip the folder Ive attached and then put the whole folder thats inside into storage card/_CHTScheduler.....

You should see your saved layouts and baseline already in there......

Once its in go for a soft reset.....

then when you go back into CHTS switch gui and try to change layout you should have "black n blue rss" as an option....

Try changing to that layout and let me know what happens......

You should end up with something like the screenshots...............

It wont change your icons, if your using dinik icons you will still have dinik icons..... if your using stock they should still be stock.....

You will not get the "blue tape" digital clock (because my lua skills arent up to scratch yet :(:mad:)

However you should have the wallpaper, widgets and quicklinks and blue soft keys in all the right places

There shouldnt be any serious consequences to this..... if something does go wrong you can restore you baseline/old layout........ however as always you do this at your own risk.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] miller710:
Worked. However there are some broken links I think this if for programs that you have that I do not. I will post some before after screens in a few minutes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Hey Troutman! First out there with a trial layout for CHTS (how long before you and Mob release the orange street theme as a zip for this... ;) )

It seems to work fine (once I'd realised that you had to go in one folder once unzipped to find the one names CHTS_blah blah blah and copy THAT one to the CHTScheduler folder in Storage Card!). I'm assuming it won't look exactly like your screenshots - my layout has retained my clock/weather choice on the central screen and the RSS widget is above the clock, not below like in your screenshot. Also I have lots of missing quicklinks :p

I agree that CHTS is just as amazing as CHT itself - there has been a massive amount of work by MD - it has already replaced Phoneweaver on my phone for automatic connection and sound profiling. I'm just waiting for your orange theme, buff and GTX to be released in this format and I'll be away!

Just been switching back to my baseline as I've been typing and I still have all your quicklinks and none of my free links - hey ho, guess there's still some work to do... :(

See you back at the Dev group! Love the weather wallpapers you've done for the lockscreen - where can I get the full set?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
DOH! should have though of that......

I should have saved a version with empty quicklinks,,, except for apps that come as stock..... opera etc......

Once I figure out how to do an xml for the layout i should be able to cancel out any links that point to apps other people might not have........

So it really is as easy as that........:D

Good to know....... thanks man!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] miller710:
I also had the problem when I switched back to my baseline. I lost my free links. The wierd thing is that when I loaded your theme, I got the custome cht toggles you used on ur theme. And when I switched back I got the old standard icons. So this seems to be a transferable item as well.

Then after looking it over I noticed that the custom cht softkeys also change with the theme loadout. apparently that is also something that can be transfered.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Hey Dunc, wasnt really intending it as a release, more an experiment and some shameless promotion for CHTS (not that it needs it :D)...

I think if your swipe up you'll get the rss in the same position as the screenshot..... i didnt post every page on every level....

and the digi clock will be missing because I cant get my standalone widgets to work....... unless you want to kill sense then they're great..... lol

The quicklinks thing was a stupid error on my part, obviously any proper theme releases will come as default with empty link.... I was just rushing to post before the missus gets home........:rolleyes:

Not long for Orangestreet..... just need to hammer out the xml... I think thats the missing link.....

Not sure why your baseline would be affected......

Mine has always been rock solid...... If I thought that peoples "safety net" would be jeopardised then I would have held off on posting this because obviously I dont wanna cause people to have to go through a whole set up process again so sorry about that :confused:

Appreciate the feedback man thanks again :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Yep, toggles will go across too.....

If I was using custom state indicators they'd show as well.....

As I said to Dunc, Sorry about your baseline....

Was it just the freelinks you were missing or did you still have the regular quicklinks too??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
@Dunc001

Forgot to answer your question about the weather walls......

I cant take any credit for those, they're all mob's work...... they were in the dropbox in the chts folder...

If they're no longer there then let me or mob know and we'll post them somewhere for you.......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] miller710:
The glass circle softkeys are before. the Blue softkeys are after. Mind you this is after doing it for a second time so both sets of pics have your free links and quick links. When I reverted back to baseline it kept your icon layout just changed everything else back.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Once again man sorry about that.....

Can you revert to a previously saved layout to get your quicklinks back?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] miller710:
No worries man. I have been playing around with it alot any ways. What I can't figure out is why CHT occationaly just moves links around. I also have problems with the icons changing randomly for no reason at all. Any idea?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Cant say Ive ever experienced that....

Maybe CHTS is set to switch profiles at certain times??

Ive linked MD( genius behind CHTS) to this thread so hopefully he can shed some light on this.....

Edit;

GRRR just realised I missed my 1000 post milestone..... lol

wanted to use it for something ridiculous in off topic........... oh well guess i'll just have to wait for 2000
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MichelDiamond:
Amazing!

For the quicklinks thing: I have a solution - will be in next fixed version, should be better then:

- It deletes the "old" quicklinks instead of overwriting, so there is no "mixing"

- you can disable quicklink switching with Layout switching in the settings.

Then let's have a look, if this is enough or if we need something more.

Great work, conan - I luv this style of your themes! But that you already know :) (Congrats to your 1000+, too *g* )

Micha
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
thanks md, probably best to leave out the quicklinks in the meantime...

I guess people are going too want to set their own links anyway...

is this the best way to share a theme between two devices, by placing the layout folder into the chts folder of another device? or is there a better way....

ha ha thanks for the congrats... it will soon be 2000 at this rate...:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MichelDiamond:
oh, overseen your answer, but with new CHTS 2.02 all the quicklink things, which are mentioned above, are soluted.

So Quicklinks are switching now also if they have different designs.

only the randomly moving quicklinks needs also a fix in CHT itself, but meanwhile it's counteracted as good as possible with CHTS, too.

And yes,simply placing and copying the Layout-subfolder is the intended easy sharing or saving of a Layout. CHTS automatically recognizes the new CHT-Layout (indifferent if by .zip or .cab installed) and can be assigned to any profile by the user. mmh...I think that you already know :) but perhaps some others not.

Thanx for your inputs!

Micha
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Thanks Michel,

I think all the issues with the quicklinks are sorted now :D

Any layout I post will have only have empty quicklinks by default, obviously each user is going to want different programs in different places.

I'll still be setting the location of the link and if they want to re-arrange then thats up to them..........
