[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Please don't say Odin 1 click as it does not go 100% back to stock.

The nv_data.bin and bml3 device are not as stock. I have FFFFFFF where my unlock code used to be and my unlock code no longer works.

Master Clear and then JF6 restore doesn't change these either. I find it hard to believe there is no way to get 100% back to new.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Nandroid backup of rooted stock then unroot is probably the most effective.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I don't have a nandroid backup or I would do that
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Well it seems like this Phone is a bit like windows 95 when it comes to wiping and reloading it. Bits and pieces of other installs are left over? Wish I knew how to help you. Perhaps someone out there has a completely stock nandroid they could send you. I know there's one for the Vibrant.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Yeah, but with any flavor of windows i can do an Fdisk and repartition.

I wonder if i can use standard odin and repartition? Anyone know?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Bishop:
I sent mine back to Samsung and they reset it -- when I get it back I can see if mine is able to be Nandroid'd if that'd help...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Why did you send it back? I am curious how the /EFS directory gets built - it stores the IMEI related stuff and lock code data, but it doesn't get wiped with a Odin full restore.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
I would think that if you put your phone in recovery mode, there should be an option to format the internal sd card. After you do that, just do a factory reset, and then run Odin One-Click back to JF6

Edit: There's not even a need for recovery mode. Go to Settings > SD card and phone storage > and then under Internal SD card you'll see "Format SD card".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Format SD card only formats the ~14GB that acts as an SD card that the user has access to. The 2GB that makes up all the system partitions is not touched. Some of it is rewritten when you do 1 click install - but not all.

With JF6 your NV_data.bin is not created like the original and the IMEI and BT files are dated from June - so the EFS partition is never rewritten. Maybe if you delete it is recreated, but i doubt it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Bishop:
I bricked mine trying to go to Froyo. They sent it back to me with JH7 so no go :/ Sorry.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsooley:
did anybody try calling att if you are a att cust they will give you the code for free.

over on the i9000 forum they say when froyo first came out if you left your sim in the phone when you flashed it would relock your phone.

can anybody verify that if they goto froyo with a unlocked captivate without the sim do they still get locked.

if so it might be a measure to prevent people from messing with the beta to much
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Actually I did try it. In July, they said wait 60 days. Yesterday they input my IMEI and their system told them that the phone can't be unlocked - due to AT&T exlusivity. i am in the process of escalating, but it is hard to say what will happen.

It certainly appears that it is not as simple as waiting 60 days.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsooley:
funny att rep when i got the phone told me that there was no exclusive deal and unlocking was no problem he was a general manager of a att corporate store in wayne nj

if that is the case i will never go to froyo till a unlock soluition is found.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jatkins09:
Just out of curiosity, was there a charge for this or did you "forget" to mention that you bricked it while flashing Froyo?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Those guys say what they think, but they make you call central to do certain functions - at least in the past. I guess I could go into a store and check, but I doubt I will do any better.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsooley:
he called the att corp support center

we had alot of issues and he spent like 1 h with us.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerod:
What role does SIM play in restore to 100% stock?

I'm curious about this too...it seems that once you mod the phone in any way it's never 100% stock again. I wonder if having the SIM in when a mod is done has anything to do with it - does anyone know if the SIM can be written to and, if so, if anything is written to it during a mod?

I've tried everything possible to get this phone 100% stock again in an effort to get Kies Mini to STOP giving me the "unrecognized" error, including cleaning Windows registry and trying on my Windows XP Pro partition - no go. Something, somewhere, is providing information to Kies Mini.

---Edit---

Dumb question about writing to SIM; but question about something being written to it during a mod - if left in - still stands. Anyone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
The SIM can only hold contact data - and very limited amount. I can almost guarantee that nothing is written to the SIM card.

Is Kies not recognizing the phone is plugged in , or refusing to upgrade because it is the wrong type? Unrecognized device by keys is usually due to Samsung drivers and reinstalling them has helped me.

But it seems that the only way to revert to 100% stock is via Samsung repair service.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerod:
I tried the drivers, but that didn't fix the issue either.
[HTC Aria General] fmac:
Now that Skype has officially launched, I was wondering if someone was able to download Skype or even find it in Market? I cant even find it and when I search it with the market barcode or in skype's mobile site it tells me that my device its not supported... Weird thing is Skype said that the app is supported in all HTC and Motorola phones running android 2.1-2.2...

Is this me or are you guys having the same problem?
[HTC Aria General] FZ1Darren:
i found it in the market yesterday. loaded but haven't used it yet.
[HTC Aria General] mrjoe90:
I found it, installed it, and used it. works perfectly. i now have the hacked version that allows calling over 3g
[HTC Aria General] 0ptimus82:

Gentlemen, could you confirm that you are downloading the app using an Aria phone...? i made a clean install and I just cant find it in the market, same happens when looking for it in the skype web page.

Hi there.

I'm trying to install hspl on my phone, but it won't do it..

I've tried the hspl, hspl2 and hspl3 installer but nothing works for me.

I do exactly as the guide says, I'm able to select the 2.08 hspl or what its called in the installation program and it looks like its gonna start installing, but the green bar that's supposed to go up to "100%" is only moving up and down constantly.

Tried it several times and it just go up and down for 40-45 mins or so, then I get an error message..

This happens with all the hspl1,2,3 installers..

The bootloader says that I have SPL 1.42.0000

Anyone got any ideas ?=)

Htc HD2 Norwegian/European version.

OS-Version: 5.2.21869

Manila: 2.5.19211619.0

ROM: 1.66.409.1

Radio: 2.06.51.07
[HD2 General] audude:
just wanted to add that when I tried the hspl1 installer, it start to install but after 2-3%'ish I get an error.. O_o
[Wildfire General] p0inte:
So i've done a little reading and here's my question:

The only point in moving your apps to your sd card is if you're out of space on internal memory. However, with apps in the range of ~1MB each, exactly HOW many apps does one need to download in order to run out of space?

I'm kind of reluctant do move them to the sd card since they'll generally load slower, probably operate slower if they need to load resources off it during runtime.

Is it really that easy to run out of space and, if yes, exactly how much is the slowdown from the memory card?

Thanks
[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
It fills up fast, trust me.
[Wildfire General] CrimzonEyed:
Let's say you have around 80 mb left with a clean installed rom.

games can be about 13-20 MB each

normal apps usaly around 500 kb to 4mb

after maybe 15 apps and 4 games your are filled :p
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
After downloading Angry Birds I have 1 mb left of space.
[Wildfire General] Mariusrapi:
how do i move apps to the sd?
[Wildfire General] CrimzonEyed:
you need to have a custom rom with app2sd enabled, like wildpuzzle or Openfire.

After you have partitioned the sd card, it will increase the internal memory with the partioned part. Kinda like trick the phone that you have more internal memory then you already have.
[Wildfire General] GigiAUT:
Is it possible to just install apps2sd on a rooted stock ROM? WildPuzzle is too unstable for me and CM6 isn't out yet.
[Wildfire General] bpye:
Have you tried openfire, I have never had to battery pull, it has JIT and is the fastest available ROM.
[Wildfire General] GigiAUT:
gonna give it a go now. If not I'll make with with a stock ROM for now.
[HD2 General] k_blal:
i bought a t-mobile hd2, it is unlocked since it doesn't ask for a code, if i insert sim card it gets freeze every couple of minutes i tried to flash new rom change radio spl, nothing worked. only if i take the sim out it works like charm but the moment i put the sim in i freezes, i tried different sim same problem ? i did search cant solve my problem
[HD2 General] JonnieLasVegas:
If it's your SIM card, just take it into T-mobile, they'll replace it free & quick. But make sure you have the stock rom on it when you take it in or it will void any warranty.

If it's your microSD card try formatting it to your phone. If that doesn't work it's probably corrupt. Not sure if it's covered or not.

Sorry I couldn't be of much more help, but I'm sure one of these brilliant minds on here can help more.
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
It didn't ask for a code? so you aren't with T-mobile then I'm guessing..

You might wanna try a hard-reset, and if there's an SD card in there try taking it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinistersai4d4d:
Is there a way to do this? I can't stand Swype... I like the predictive text of the Android keyboard (how it shows words at the top)... but for some reason my calibration seems off and I keep mistyping words.

Any alternative keyboard with the same predictive text feature of the stock android keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Why don't you just turn swype off in menu, settings, keyboard, uncheck swype.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinistersai4d4d:
I did turn off swype. I'm using the stock android keyboard... but the calibration seems a little off, and I'm kind of annoyed with how i'm pressing a button and it's registering the button to the left of it when I'm pretty accurate.

Just looking for an alternative that's similar to the Stock, or a calibration feature.

Thats cool. I had not idea it was going to work. I just googled "android keyboard calibration apk" and found that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinistersai4d4d:
Update! The keyboard in the thread I just quoted above is the best keyboard you'll ever use if u aren't a Swype fan. Better than any vk I've ever used. And it comes with a calibration tool that's fantastic.

If I already have 2.4.0 installed do I still have to wipe everything? And does this rom adds stability on top of the 2.4.0?

Sent from my DROID2
[Droid 2 Android Development] Angdroid:
It is up to you. I would suggest to wipe since this is the retail build and 2.4.0 was a pre-release build. You can always try not wiping first and see how it goes.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Here's my logic, if 2.4.0 is almost the same is 2.4.5 build then why wipe? :D and all the stuff is the same I assume, so I think I'm going to try to not wipe since I did no modification to the phone after I flahsed the 2.4.0 except put on the R2D2 lock screen

But thanks for the quick reply :D

Anyway found some bugs:

Seems like in the super clean rom the removed packages folder wasnt created, since i wanted to grab something and couldnt find the folder. Did the clean rom and the removed packages showed up with 27 items.

ON star wars rom the ESB Lightspeed and R2-D2 live wallpapers cause an fc and don't show.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Shadowlore:
Dumb question... and I know you say to NOT ask for where the download links are...

But Post #3 and Post #2 are the same post... and the downloads AREN'T there (even though you've stated on twitter it's all done)
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
My bad...as my mom use to say...haste makes waste :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
I will look into it but not high on the priority list...Really dont want to flash to that ROM to see what is up. Try the packages from the old ROM and see if they work.

I did not include the removed_packages with super clean...figured if anyone wants any of the packages they can download the full ROM and extract.

I am uploading a file now with the live wallpapers. Can you test them and see if those FC. It might have been due to the zip align. OK, so it moved up on the list ;)

[Droid 2 Android Development] CIPuyleart:
Nice - good work as always. Grabbing the "FULL" myself and then going to pick out the crap I don't use (as I was able to successfully do with your 2.4.0 as well).

Now, if only I knew how to port the Kangerade Blue theme stuff into this latest build, I'd be in heaven!

Question: the FULL rom I downloaded has "statuswidget.apk" in the system/apps folder inside the zip file. Do I need to still download and run the hotfix?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
No...I am updating the ROMs...I have left some CP30 crap behind so if anyone notices CP30 around can you tell me where so I can whack him with the lightsaber.
[Droid 2 Android Development] CIPuyleart:
Ugh...don't want any starwars to show up anywhere - that was damn annoying after loading the original R2D2 leak. I'll hold off 24 hours or so and maybe update to this over the weekend when I've got a little time. For now, 2.4.0 with the Kangerade 2.4 theme has been working flawlesslesly for me.

I just have a normal Droid 2, rooted, with Epic unleashed 2.5 rom. Will your Super Clean rom work on Droid 2 ?

Sorry for the silly question but with all this star wars stuff, this and that, just want to be sure this rom is usual on any Droid 2.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Yes it will...just follow instructions before install. The Super Clean has no star wars stuff at all. As close as to AOSP ROM as you ca get with the D2 right now. Most of the apps are replaced with the stock Android Apps. All but dialer and contacts.
