[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
Well I doubt the tier one tech support agent knows more then the hands on reviewers online. Based on the comparisons, I think the Focus uses at least class 4 or 6 speed internal memory. Every video and head to head comparison Ive see thinks the Focus is faster the its comp. I did notice updated spec stating 512MB RAM, 1GB

Flash

Rom (Prior was 1GB ROM), 8GB Flash Storage. I think the Flash ROM is Samsung's Nano Flash chips, the 8GB storage Ive read to be ScanDisk. Does ScanDisk use Samsung flash chips?

A week from today the answers and im sure more questions will start flooding in.
[Focus General] DeekoVB5:
I got the Focus this morning, and I tried a run-of-the-mill class 2 SanDisk 16GB card, and after doing a hard reset, its working like a charm. 22GB of memory for me. Doesn't appear to have degraded my performance, either.
[Focus General] TomH123:
Where do you lookup the available memory? I've inserted a class 4 16GB Lexar card but I don't know where to look to verify the memory.
[Focus General] jl3718:
memory card

what's being told to all att employees is that we are not to sell any memory cards with the phone because they're not supposed to work with any of the ones we carry. I've been afraid to put one in mine because of this but if its been working for ya'll idk what to believe now.
[Focus General] mikesaint27:
Rep at the att store told me this morning that theyre working on an OTA software update to correct this SD card issue, so hopefully it'll be sometime soon.
[Focus General] enjoythemusic:
Has anyone tried using the 16Gb Kingston Class 6 card in the Focus? Results?
[Focus General] ryotgz:
My 16GB class 6 card is working great. 22GB of storage.

Go to settings, about and it will tell you have much storage. I had to hit reset phone under that page for it to work.
[Focus General] hvbelton:
I installed a 16GB class 6 card in mine this morning and it was working fine, then after reading of a problem after a soft reset I tried it and sure enough, it forgot everything I'd set up and I had to start over.
[Focus General] enjoythemusic:
HUGE thanks guys, as darn Amazon was late at shipping the 32GB Class 2 i had planned so tomorrow the 16GB Kingston Class 6 is arriving. Not sure if i really need the extra 16GB, yet Class 6 is better than Class 2 so... Again, HUGE thanks as would hate to reset the phone and have to redo all my settings for no reason due to bad memory card.

ALL help is ALWAYS appreciated.
[Focus General] enjoythemusic:
Tanks ryotgz, will be installing the 16GB Class 6 tomorrow when it arrives.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
No problem. Mine is an A-data, but I would think Kingston would work too. Let us know.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
Time to say I was wrong. I did a soft reset. It no longer shows any of my downloads or anything....
[Focus General] mcpell:
how are you performing a "soft reset"? I don't see any documentation anywhere that refers to a soft reset.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
Holding in the power button until it says "good bye". Then powering it back on.

I just tried it with a 4GB sd card and it does the same thing.....
[Focus General] mcpell:
Ah. I thought that was just "turning it off".

Thanks for the info.

Microsoft KB Article

Microsoft has a KB article up on this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2450831

The key item of note is that WP7 is sensitive to both the random write speeds (which is what the speed ratings are based on) and the random read speeds (Not covered by the official speed ratings) of the cards.

Current word is to wait on the "Certified for Windows Phone 7" cards (No eta on these yet).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amtrakcn:
My captivate was running Cog 2.2 Beta5.5. I tried to undo lagfix before updating to beta6, but it failed. So I decided to flash back to stock 2.1 then upgrade to Cog.

Problems appeared when Odin stopped at setting pit file. This happened several times before so that I unplugged my phone and tried to get into download and flash again. However, the volume button combination does not work this time. So I could not flash the phone again.

The current status of the phone is:

No AT&T screen at startup, just displays the phone and computer

Cannot enter downloand mode by holding down both volume button then plug-in cable

and obviously the computer does not recognize the device when connected.

Is there still a way to get the phone into download mode (or anything else that could unbrick it)?

Thanks a lot!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhnstn00:
just keep at it. it will work eventually. not bricked...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amtrakcn:
Yeah it should be recoverable but I'm wondering what I can do with the phone as I cannot access download...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loserskater:
10 Char...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhnstn00:
just pull the usb from the phone & the battery, replace the battery, then open odin 1 click, then hold both vol buttons, while holding the vol buttons, insert usb.

repeat till it gets into download mode. sometimes I walk away for a few minutes, then try again. suddenly it works. make sure you use the usb port that works for your phone, on my netbook only 1 of the usb ports works for the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob989_69:
1. Unplug USB

2. Pull battery

3. Put battery back in

4. Reconnect the USB

5. Open odin one click

6. Wait for battery icon to show

7. Hold Volume up & Down and power

screen will go to att screen, or computer + Phone screen. Then it'll go back to the battery screen. Keep holding till you see it go black again, Then let go of power, still holding volume keys.

That should do it. Keep trying you'll get the hang of it quickly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amtrakcn:
It's still not working after I repeated for 60 times:o

Maybe I should leave it for a while then keep trying...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amtrakcn:
This look like the key combination to enter Rocovery mode:)

My phone does not show the battery icon now. After applying step 4 the computer+phone screen comes up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob989_69:
Nope, it's for download. Trust me, I've had to do it enough. That's ok, you can follow the same steps from the phone+PC screen. Just let it go black, then back to the screen, then black a second time before letting go.

Again, USB MUST be plugged in at this time for it to work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amtrakcn:
Thank you.

BTW how many times of reboot before u got into Download?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianwood:
Two questions:

Have you been able to use the three button method to get into download or recovery before now?

Did you ever apply the JH7 firmware OTA update from AT&T to your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob989_69:
Basically let it reboot once and as soon as the second time comes that's when you let go of power. Previous poster has a good point too, some firmware updates are known to "break" the 3 button combo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokerier:
Have you pulled the SIM and any SD card you have installed? Try that too. I couldn't get it into download, then pulled everything out, put battery in, started up ODIN, held in vol buttons, inserted USB and yay, fixed.

If you open ODIN while phone is connected or disconnect then reconnect USB while ODIN is open, you will never get it right, FYI...

I had to do it with ODIN opened first, then volume buttons, then USB. Any screw ups and you have to start over.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amtrakcn:
All cards were removed and I used the original cable as well but I still could not get out of the phone and computer screen...

Shipped the phone for exchange...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Might have been able to get into download mode by holding the volume buttons inserting the USB and popping the battery back in.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
which ODIN are you trying to use?

if you are using regular ODIN and not one click, are you giving it the files it needs to flash or are you leaving everything blank?

if you are using one click or regular, make sure ODIN is open first!

Download Mode

Ok guys I think I found something that we were missing. There is a little brass "button" its about the size of a ball point pen. If you have the battery case off then the button is not "pressed". What I did was push the button in. Hold down up and down then insert the usb cable and BAM download mode.

Just an fyi. It worked for me to get into download mode.

I'm trying to unbrick my phone too. All I get with the Odin One-Click is "Get PIT for mapping..." It stays there forever. Someone help please.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ril3y:
Mine was stuck at the "Do not remove target" (or whatever it says). Finally after 10 mins I removed it. Next the phone would come on and go straight to the Computer and Phone symbol. If your phone is already stuck there then unplugging it wont really matter.

The thing is you have to get it into download mode again. This from reading this board can be tricky. I think I figured out the problem that everyone was having.

You need to pull the sim, battery, and sd card. Hold the little brass button on the back (under battery cover.. Not under battery). Hold UP and DOWN then plug in the USB. Oh and have Odin3 open before plugging in the phone. For me it immediately went to the yellow android screen with a shovel. Then just click start on odin and it should take about 5 mins. If it hangs up on any stage for more than 10. Something is wrong.

Disclaimer: This is what worked for me. Can you brick this device beyond on repair doing this? Not sure. So tread carefully. I am pretty sure you cant jack it up beyond repair. But had to say it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchatbg:
Well I'm not having any trouble going into download mode. The only problem for me is that I can't get it to flash through Odin. I just keeps getting stuck at "Get PIT for mapping..."

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
One more thing, if you're at the phone--!--pc screen, you might be able to use odin to flash from there. It's another download mode screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Not exactly "another download mode screen" that is the "flash incomplete screen" all the download mode screen is, is a .png called on when download mode is initiated. If that image is missing because the flash failed before it was written to the phone when download mode is started the only image there to call is the incomplete flash screen image.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoneTay11:
it worked . I can get to Download mode but It can not flash to 2.1 stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
when I had the phone ! computer screen once, I got lucky getting into download mode by doing this:

I held vol up and vol down together until the screen blinked. As soon as it blinked I inserted the usb cable (WITH ODIN ALREADY OPEN on the computer) and it went right to download mode. I've never heard anyone mention this before on here but It worked a couple of times for me. It's a matter of perfect timing of inserting the usb when screen blinks. It didn't work any other time on that screen.

Thanks, and sorry! I'm a n00b :x
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tdnrad:
Full root? I thought root was already obtained? Or do you mean unlocking the boot loader? Because that is unlikely never to happen.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] GlitchZero:
Full root's been around since as long as this device has been out, it was released within weeks of it being publicly available.

If you mean an unlocked bootloader allowing full, kernel-modifying ROMs, no, that is not and never will be available. Much like the Droid X, it is just a lost cause and will likely lead to Motorola's inevitable almost-bankruptcy, for the second time.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] donnydotter:
Alright thanks, what is the purpose of rooting my device if overclocking isn't possible without kernel access? Or is it? What custom roms are available?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tdnrad:
Overclocking is possible with root. If i understand correct it is done through a kernel module. Custom roms can be found all over this forum (just look for threads starting with ROM in their name). You'll need to get OpenRecovery working to use them.

I had a JI6 build from XDA on my phone, because it did not have HAC I had to take it off because i could not hear anything. I downloaded the stock 2.1 firmware and used clockwork recovery to load it, however it just sits at a black screen now. I can boot into recovery mode and I tired to apply update.zip but it says

"E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip"

Can anyone help?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcbarca17:
I think the only fix for that is to odin back to stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adm1jtg:
You need to odin as JI6 uses a different kernel and nandroid doesn't replace the kernel. Use any odin flash and that should solve your problems.

From here, reboot into recovery, wipe your phone then get back into DL mode and odin flash your JI6 .tar, I like this one. If you get some force closes (I got A LOT), just fix permissions.

Hello,

Sorry if this has been answered, but I couldnt find anything when I searched.

I am trying to go back to stock on my Vibrant just like when I first got it out the box.

I flashed the unofficial update JI2 and then the JI6 through Odin, but now I want to go back to stock to see if I get the update from Tmobile or just do it through Kies.

In order for me to do this I have to go to stock and I cant find or know to to do it. I seem to be getting this whole Odin thing so if I can do it this way it would be great. Please let me know. Thanks.

I search Development section, but none of those worked for me. Not sure if Im doing something wrong.
[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
I am no expert by any mean just a noobie but I downloaded the files on the link posted in I believe it was the Development section that was the JDF Odin stock rom etc. Look for it posted in there or search it and it will come up.

Or did you click them one by one?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
you should try a custom rom before going back to stock!
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
Either way you want to do it. The 3 files-in-one is a smaller download if that matters to you. But they're all the same...

Also, in the Vibrant Bible, there's a link to Odin1.3 which worked well when I had to go from JI5 (via Kies) back to JFD for the Kies Mini update to JI6. Just fyi, I'm running Win7 Pro 64-bit, not sure what your setup is like.

When you say you had no luck, did you mean you couldn't get into download mode or Odin didn't work for you? For Odin to work you have to make sure the ID:COM in the upper left is populated with a number. Otherwise Odin is essentially saying that it doesn't see your phone, most likely due to driver issues.
