hello! i think something is wrong with my battery life;). i charged it up to 100% more than two hours ago. i dont use it very much so mostly its in standby. but compare to 2.1cognition or other rom, it usually discharge at least 3% in 2 hours even it's in standby. im really impressed with froyo :) i used zilch's way of rooting because it's easier. thank you zilch.

oh, and this morning, from 100% to 22% i used my phone from 9am to 3pm heavily. i know it's 6hours only but that's the heaviest usage i did compare to former rom which maybe 4hours and it's fully drained. i tried out the flash by watching japanese drama. its so great!

one question: if i want to use designgears (bloatware) how will i do it? the same thing? flash stock kernel? then use clockworkmod? then froyo kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Pinepig:
Until somebody put's out a custom rom this is about as easy as it get's.

Thanks man.

My buttons do not work

Hi.

Thanks for all the good work. I rooted my phone following the instructions.

However, after reinstalling the JI6 kernel back the hardware buttons for menu, home back and search do not work.

I reinstalled again, but still the same.

What should I do?

Thanks again:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
This really shouldn't affect your buttons O_o It's booting up and you're getting to the homescreen right?
[Captivate Android Development] npadro:
that was fast

yes home screen OK

Yes, everything on the homescreen works. buttons no:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's really really bizarre :confused: and you flash back to just the JI6 froyo build they go back to working again?
[Captivate Android Development] npadro:
Well

I'll restart the process and see what happens.

JF6 then update zip and JI6.

should I?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Well I was talking about flashing completely back to JI6 with Odin, not just the kernel swap... the swap shouldn't change your buttons at all, so something else appears to be up =/

And you're on a Captivate right? Not a vibrant right?
[Captivate Android Development] npadro:
Yes captivate

redid the process and now OK.

Thanks for your support
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Okay :D Just had to be sure, you never know with all the mixing and matching people do around here!
[Captivate Android Development] xenkato:
J am from Greece using Captivate a month now best phone ever , thanks for all these and your efforts
[Captivate Android Development] V DidDy 210:
having issues here!

can flash no problem..whenever i try to reinstall packages though, it says that it cannot find update.zip because it isn't there

i've placed it numerous times and yes it is update.zip not update

frustration ++
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
waited a day for some type of one-click....didn't feel like waiting anymore and did this. Sounds sort of weird at first but worked great!

Zilch for president
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
But are you sure it isnt update.zip.zip? If you used Windows to copy and paste the file in it may have file extensions hidden, and by adding the .zip at the end you've effectively changed the file name to update.zip.zip
[Captivate Android Development] Dino.:
Need some help...

I flashed the JI6 kernal (step 9) and odin had the blue box on the top left that said reset and the phone was auto-rebooted, but now phone is stuck on att world phone screen..

It will not go into recovery/download mode at all, but the computer does make the connection indicator noise when the phone is plugged in on the comp.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Ok, I gave it a go, and it went flawlessly. Great instructions. Now that it's rooted, I was trying to get this bugger sideloaded, so I went for the original method by modifying the settings.db like we did for 2.1. That was a bit tricky, I had to extract my RootExplorer apk from my Titanium backup, I did get it installed, and got the settings.db altered. I really dont know if it worked because I was hoping to drop all of the AT&T crap, but Titanium says "Cannot remove system app Failed to locate the apk file"

Any thoughts?

**Edit** Sideloading appears to be working, I am able to restore ShootMe from Titanium.
[Captivate Android Development] V DidDy 210:
haha that did it!

what a bone headed move!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
This is what would happen if you didn't flash in the JI6 kernel and tried to boot with the JF6 kernel in place... have you tried using adb to send the phone to download mode?

When it makes the connection noise to your computer you can type in: adb reboot download (from the adb tools folder of course) and it should force the phone to reboot to download.

Alternatively try these steps:

Close Odin

Remove phone battery

Remove USB

Insert phone battery

Open Odin

Hold volume up/volume down (NO POWER)

Plug in USB
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
We've allllllllllll done it :D
[Captivate Android Development] Dino.:
The no power did it for me >.<

OMG i was scared for a brick thanks soo muchhhh :D

I put "JI6kernel.tar" in the PDA slot (checked) last time and this is what happen? should I also uncheck auto-reboot?

*EDIT* I must be doing something wrong with the flashing of JI6, do you think you can take a screen shot or try to explain a little more lol, sorry im sure you can tell im pretty noob-y-like lol >.<
[Captivate Android Development] Dino.:
I got impatient lol, so I just stuck the stock Froyo for now.

Thanks for the help tho!
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
Thanks for this method of rooting. I installed Cognition 2.2 which was rooted but mistakenly unrooted the phone using one click lagfix. This worked like a charm. Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] stilespdx:
Worked the second time around, many thanks
[Captivate Android Development] blackarsenic:
Ok everything went through, but how do I know I'm rooted? I don't see any superuser or busy box

Edit.... Still not rooted, didnt' work for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If there's no superuser app in your app drawer something didn't work O_o
[Captivate Android Development] blackarsenic:
What an idiot. Instead of continuing to use Odin 3 switched back to Odin 1 click to install the JI6. It works now thanks..... lol
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Lol :D Glad you figured it out ;)
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I used this method and it went pretty well for me. I made a mistake with putting the update.zip file into the external sd card by accident. So when it went to power up the phone would not boot correctly at all. I had to reflash with odin the j16 kernel just so I could get it back up to then make sure I had the update.zip in the correct sd card. Then everything went perfect starting from scratch. With just the Odin3 one click 2.2 I had some sluggish issues but it wasn't too bad. Once I got the 2.2 rooted with this method it CAME ALIVE. It is working freakin awesome and FAST. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
One last thing. The only thing I would love to do is get rid of the att bloat. But titanium wont delete out some of the att apps.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah Titanium is a bit buggy with this froyo release. The captivate hacks thread has some tips for how to remove things via adb, but I personally used root explorer to go through and delete things one by one. Be careful not to kill off anything important though!
[Captivate Android Development] raychang:
Zilch,

Thanks a lot for providing this very smart method, all seemed to be clear to me except in Step 5 and 6. Should I disconnect the USB cable in addition to removing the battery during step 5 and 6 in order to get the phone into recovery mode?

Thanks a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Amended in the OP :D
[Captivate Android Development] yundragon:
Thanks OP! Works perfectly!
[Captivate Android Development] andrewjrr:
im getting my phone this week and have been trying to keep up with all the recent updates, i havent used Odin or even used the Captivate yet, but i feel like it should be ok with the amount of researching ive been doing.. for this rooting, the only thing i was concerned about was these steps..

8. As soon as the phone attempts to reboot, remove the battery, start Odin, use key combos to get back into Odin --> the reboot it is referring to, is that after the update.zip has completed install. also does "use key combos to get back into Odin" refer to it entering download mode again? (hold volume buttons down and plug in usb)

9. Flash the JI6 kernel back to the phone --> is that simply putting the JI6 file in the PDA and nothing into PIT? (other flashing has shown a PDA and PIT file)

appreciate any help, thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That refers to after the update.zip installs, the update.zip will automatically reboot your phone after it completes it's work. And yes, the second part refers to getting back into download mode again :)

No PIT necessary, PIT is only for mapping, so is really only necessary when you're repartitioning the device
[Captivate Android Development] andrewjrr:
thank you zilch! appreciate all the help and tips! can't wait to try the 2.2 update and root once my phone arrives
[Captivate Android Development] andrewjrr:
so just to be sure im going to go about doing this right, the phone i have is coming with 2.1 on it. do i need to install the one click Odin froyo, and then follow these steps?

one last thing.. when i start up Odin it has "auto reboot" and "f. reset time" prechecked.

when flashing the JF6 kernel it says uncheck "auto reboot" so i will leave "f. reset time" on, but when i flash the JI6, do i leave both checked?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yes this is meant to be followed after you've one clicked froyo onto the device.

I always just leave f. reset time to it's default, won't hurt anything
[Captivate Android Development] andrewjrr:
thanks again.. but when flashing JI6, do i leave BOTH checked, or uncheck auto reboot again?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Leave autoreboot checked when flashing back to JI6 :)

I just marked it to NOT autoreboot for JF6 so that you could more easily get into recovery mode using key combos instead of waiting for it to boot loop enough to force you there
[Captivate Android Development] han.azuki:
is there ANY way to go to download mode after completing a download mode state (flashing through odin) without having to open the battery cover/removing battery?
[Captivate Android Development] xfernand:
Hey Zilch25, I won't be able to flash any updates with the ROM Manager until it is updated to accept the new 2.2 recovery right?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] palmeh01:
I'm trying to follow the steps but I'm a little unsure of the Odin process. I downloaded JH6. The file name is kernel-captivate-stock.tar.tar Do I have to extract this file or just select it in the PDA field?

I tried to just select it in the PDA field. I put the phone in download mode and pressed start in Odin but it isn't doing anything. Shouldn't Odin have a field with a com id in it showing that it recognizes the phone is present?

Cappy with JI6 loaded.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If you don't plug the device in in the right sequence Odin will fail.

Power off the phone (remove the battery if you're stuck at download mode), close Odin

Unplug USB

Start Odin

Hold both volume buttons on phone (no power) and plug in USB

Using that process you should be able to flash without it hanging up, just be sure to close Odin and disconnect the phone before attempting to reflash back to the JI6 kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah not yet, I know atinm and Unhelpful are trying to build a 2.2 kernel that contains clockwork recovery natively instead of 3e, so when that comes out things will be much more simple
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Nope, unless you check auto-reboot the phone will just sit at the Download screen until the battery runs out
[Captivate Android Development] guyt35:
Im no the first flash and the odin says "Firmware update start.." under that "zimage". I have been waiting for about 8 mins, was wonder if the update takes along time?
[Captivate Android Development] guyt35:
nvm, Got it just took out battery, unplugged and try it again. This time a had a download bar on my phone. Works Great!!! tyvm Not time to enable for third party apps.
[Captivate Android Development] dobolu:
i dont know what i diid wrong but my phone is a loop on reboot system,zilch25 i need some help.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
It should only be boot looping if you didn't flash back the JI6 kernel after flashing in JF6. If it's just sitting at the AT&T screen and then rebooting over and over until it goes to recovery mode, chances are this is what's happening- try flashing the JI6 kernel back in again
[Captivate Android Development] dobolu:
How do i flash that file. Should I add it on Odin where says phone? And click start.

Thx
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Anybody making a "Pocket Odin"/"Odin Mobile"? Would be nice to switch back to Eclair kernel without using my PC. Then be able to use ROM Manager.

My urge to Flash different ROM's using Rom Manager isn't being sufficed when I am running Froyo 2.2. :mad:

Edit: mute point now that new ji6 kernel allows for crw.
[Captivate Android Development] Shadowkath:
So, I started this, flashed the first kernel, it rebooted, tried to install the update.zip, it came back Installation aborted. And now, my phone won't boot at all.. Keeps booting into manual mode.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I'm having an incredibly difficult time rooting my Froyo Captivate. I tried the SuperOneClick method, but it consistently hangs at "Running rageagainst the cage..." and won't go further. I decided to try this method, and everything works...except that I can't access my recovery menu at all after flashing the JH6 kernel.

There are no errors in Odin, and it seems to have completed fine, but after flashing the JH6 kernel, the phone becomes stuck in infinite AT&T logo boot-loop and the recovery menu is inaccessible. If I flash JI6 back using Odin, the phone boots fine and the recovery menu works (giving me a signature verification error if I try to install the update.zip of course). Any ideas? I'm at a loss, because my Captivate was working fine when it was running a rooted 2.1, unrooted 2.2 kinda bites though.

Edit: Finally, something that worked: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804226

Using a JI6 kernel that included a 2e recovery worked like a charm. Now enjoying my rooted Froyo Captivate =D

HI Everyone,

i am so new to the andriod system, and coming from my nokia my life is rather difficult atm. I am after 2 things 1 x when i recive an sms i always have to drag the the notification bar down to get the sms, is there an app that when i get an sms or miss a call it syncs with my led notification and pops up on my screen so i just need to tap it away i go to see the missed call or sms?

and 2 is there an app to replace that stupid mediascape ? so i can view my galleries of movies and pictures better ? that mediascape is so crappy it drives me up the wall.

i have unbrabded X10a

firmware 1.6 Build number R2BA026 rooted phone that i managed to do yesterday. thanks for the help in advanced.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] angelahp:
For your sms try downloading handcent sms from the market.

I haven't found a gallery app that gives me photos AND videos but if you wanted something better looking for photos try just pictures app also from the market.

Angie :-)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wrk13s:
HI thanks for the relply angie i will look into those apps.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chongbh:
I am ok with the mediascape, with the upgrade of Android 2.1, the speed for the mediascape should be improved.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] yeahyeahyeah1981:
If you don't want to install an entire sms program like handcent you can download sms popup from the market. You'll still use the default sms app(which i think is pretty nice) but it will give you a popup that you can reply/close/delete directly from.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wrk13s:
oh that is perfect that is what i want. i will look into that one. thanks heaps.

btw when is the new release of 2.1 coming out?
[Android Apps and Games] ishnish:
Hey all, I didn't know if this would be the right section to post a question about the problem I'm having but since it's concerning an app in android, I figured that this would be the right place to ask. I love the gallery app A LOT! However, my one BIG problem with it is the way it orders my pictures :mad:. Apparently it orders it by timestamps. I don't mind it doing it with the pictures I take with the phone's camera itself, but it really bugs me when it does it with the photos I put in myself through USB. A while back, I went through hell for hours just renaming all my pictures on my computer by name (for ex: 001.jp, 002.jpg, 003.jpg) just so they can all be ordered and organized by name. But every time I put it into my phone and open the gallery on froyo, it mixes up the whole order and organizes it by date taken. Alot of the dates are wrong (some will say the pics were taken in 1979 :confused:). Is their anyway to change this (the ordering format)? I will be SO THANKFUL if anyone could give some advice on the topic. BTW I'm running stock froyo CM6 mod on my HD2 (US version). Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] ishnish:
Still nothing?? PLEASE someone has to know something..
[Android Apps and Games] vitalik228:
same here

i have the same problem and it pisses me off. all my pics in the gallery are like all over the place.
[Android Apps and Games] danger-rat:
I think it's crap, also, so I now add subfolders, and group pictures that way...
[Android Apps and Games] ishnish:
Yeah my pics and galleries are all over the place also and I HATE IT. Hey danger-rat, can you explain in more detail how you use sub-folders to organize the pictures? I really cant stand the way my gallery looks. Someone has to know something. I looked everywhere and a lot of people pointed out this issue yet no one has fixed it apparently. I guess it still isn't that much of a concern to most people (which sux!).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rlf75:
I'm currently using Photo Contacts Pro and a cooked ROM of course on a Tilt 2 with "Energy Titanium" rom. Is there any way to use my third-party caller ID and ringtone program (PocketX Photo Contacts Pro 5.11) as the default ringtone and caller ID management program? I dont know how to override the default ringers and Caller ID pictures...

I'm a little new at this so take it easy on me... :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Buddhainuk:
It's time to say good buy to my HTC HD2 :(

But and here's the big but when i had to do my upgrade for the new phone i went for the HTC HD2 and was very happy :) but when i came to download my photos i came across some pictures i had not taken at all, They were of the phone shop where i got it from so got back in touch with them and they said it was a ex demo i kicked of big time so they said they could not do any thing at all.

So i got in touch with the customer serivce and kicked of at them told the they had broken the law by given me a ex demo as new.

well told the i wanted a new HTC HD2 they said they did not do that phone any more so i asked that they replace it with the new HTC Desire HD they said no but after going on they came round to say yes :)

i have still got the same contract For

£15 a month with 300min and 300 txt and unliamted internet and a bolt on that i can change every 30 days and have to paid only £30 for the phone :)

now that's what i call customer serivce :)

well done T-mobile

Desire HD :eek:

I dont blame you, thats an AWESOME phone!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tunppi:
nice one!

I bought HTC Touch HD when it was new, I had that allcare insurance, then my HD got stolen in crowd in a bus.

Then I requested new phone because of the insurance, they said they dont have anymore HD so they will get an HD2! :)

even that guy from insurance company who I spoke with was kind of happy for me he was like "nice, you get all new phone with only lost of old data and little effort. Ill send this HD2 to you as soon as possible!"

But yea desire HD will be something very cool, even cooler if you were in for android roms.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jammie_1989:
If you ever want a HD2 back I will be more than happy to swap you for your desire HD. Might even get the cr card out :) really want one :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Apache0c:
I'm convinced that the Desire HD is the best phone in the world right now. But the HD2+Android is as close as I can get to it so I'm happy.

Does anyone have an sbf for the R2D2 Edition? I got a little too tweaky.

Thanks!
[Droid 2 General] Stephan_:
Lol.. not yet.. next time boostrap and make a back up

See if you can recover with the r2d2 rom from mydroidworld

[Droid 2 General] rexit1982:
I've got a nandroid backup on my SD card I jsut can't seem to get back to the bootstrapper.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Try booting up and then pull your battery and then try booting up again. See if that puts you into bootstrap.
[Droid 2 General] rexit1982:
Thanks for the advice, I've been yanking the batt, pressing volume buttons and everything the only thing I can get to is the stock reset screen (android with !) and the boot loader. At this point I've probably done more harm than good resetting memory and clearing cache and stuff.

Oh, in case anyone wondered, the sbf fro the regular Droid 2 does not work on this bad boy. That'll teach me to mess wiht things I don;t know about. Looks like what I have is Bootloader and a copy of my backup from clockworkmod.... is there a way to build an sbf from your .img files?
[Droid 2 General] hyatari:
Try powering down the phone then plugging it in and boot it up. That often loads clockwork revovery on mine.
[Droid 2 General] slacker69:
Try going back into bootstrap recovery and pushing the bootstrap recovery button again. Then the reboot recovery button. That should work. I had the same thing happen to me and that worked.
[Droid 2 General] kevcube:
Yeah, for whatever reason that often does cause my d2 to boot into cwm.. I think it replaces that weird battery startup thing, did anyone else get that when they first used their d2?
