this will completely restore his phone to stock. ie; what ever rom he was using before, so be aware he is goint to lose everything.

yank the battery, put it back in

reboot into recovery

(hold Vol. Down and then hit the power button for like 2 seconds, once in the white screen with menu [fastboot] use vol. down to highlight recovery and hit power button) (if the fastboot menu asks if you want to flash the PC36Img file tell it NO. and it will take you back to the regular fastboot menu.)

do a full wipe

restore a nand backup or just reflash the rom he was using.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazin619:
Okay, I did everything I could to get this done without help but I really cant do anything else on my own. Here is everything I tried to get this stupid sim code. The unlock app asks me if I am sure I have a galaxy s. I tried the older way which tells me "permission denied" when running that app. Then I tried setting up a ADB which I did but only to find out that permission was denied again, even though I have superuser access. I think it is too late to ask for help, I wanted to get this done over the weekend but it looks like I have to just pay the thirty bucks to the guy on ebay. OMG what a huge waste of time. The titles on these forums are confusing for noobs like me and the information is way to cluttered. Every time I do find some information it seems like the guy posting is just not interested in giving out to much info like I wont be able to understand it. Oh yea, T-Mobile should be sued for this ****. I might call Samsung directly tomorrow just to see if they have the code, otherwise the guy on ebay probably has the safest job security the economy is offering thanks to T-Mobile which will never get my money after this ****. :confused::(:confused::mad::confused::o

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
I've read that JI6 does not play nice in unlock department, the unlock code is now harder to retrieve from the phone itself if possible at all.

One of the suggestions would be flash back to JFD base, retrieve the code, and flash back to JI6 or custom ROM.

Did you update to JI6? Like the guy said, did you install busybox? Busybox is like a huge set of useful tools/utilities apps/one can use. If the app requires it, just install it by downloading "busybox installer."

Oh and first make sure you definitely have root first. Download "Android Terminal Emulator" from the market and type "su" and tell us what happens from there.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] thedesolatesoul:
Hey guys...my first post...but here goes...

I havent used a lot of launchers but 3 of the main ones. i.e. TwLauncher, ADW and LP. I found that each one of them has certain good features that I liked and I dont know which one to stick with.

What I'm looking for in a launcher:

1) Speed

2) Theming and Customisation

3) A good AppDock

4) A good App drawer

I like LP for speed and the app dock is okay, but I dont like the app drawer organised alphabetically. The customisation is good too, applying dock, backgrounds nd icons is easy.

I like ADW for the ease of theming and the app drawer is awesome, as are the gestures. What I dont like is the speed, and artifacts while scrolling.

TwLauncher I have to say has the best app drawer and its fast and light too. Needless to say there isnt much customisation and I have that you cant do much with the app docks.

Guess you cant have everything...but is there a way to get the best of all!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rayarny:
what i would really like to see is the launcher pro with the ability to transparent the app drawer like ADW...then it will be my best launcher :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] schiphol:
Well there are a couple more launchers on the market but ADW and launcher pro are definitely the best of bunch.

I think ADW has the most future potential being open source and free. The last two updates made it very laggy so I guess you'll want to keep an eye on what they are releasing in the near future.

I like launcher pro for now, if you spend some time on customizing it to your taste I'm sure it'll give you an overall much better experience than TW.

On a related note, it sucks you cannot uninstall TW because you need it to connect the phone to KIES. Still looking for a solution to that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] schup:
Actually, you don't need it as far as I know. See my other post on how you can connect with kies from within launcher pro: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8655368#post8655368
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thedesolatesoul:
I dont really mind TwLauncher. I know its ugly and not customisable but the app drawer is okay...

I was hoping that samsung would update it with their froyo release, and give us a themable and customisable launcher...but unfortunately the update isnt going to make anything better :(

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmr0385:
Hey guys,

I had posted another thread regarding how my Captivate was only charging via the USB and not allowing any sort of data connection. There has been no change, and Im looking to at least take it back to stock to take to get fixed or to wait for OTA updates.

Is there any way to replace system files from within the phone to bring it back to the stock JF6? Can I use ODIN over bluetooth or wifi? My guess is no. Any other ideas anyone has?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
the usb doesn't work?? that's not good. but i think you may be in luck

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790080

^if you are rooted with rom manager ( this is unsighned ) this is the ota jf7. that is as close to stock as we can get. i dont think jf6 has been made into a .zip.

if you are not rooted you can cognition 2.2 beta 5.5 and up. there is a kernel with the proper 2e recovery version but it needs odin to install. this kernel is in cognition beta 5.5-7

edit: 2nd link removed because it would be useless to the op.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
if youre not already on cog beta 5.5-7 you might be SOL. now that i think about it you need 2e recovery for root, you need it to flash a signed rom, you need it to run clockwork mod recovery, you need it for evrything that will flash your phone without usb really.

forgive the stupid question but have you verified that it is the phone that has a broken usb? does the computer see anything? did you try odin? can you get download mode? did you try adb? different drivers? different cable? different computers?

you may need to send it for repair and pay the bill yourself. or if you have insurance report it stolen or run it over with your car. break the screen, something...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Beta 6 and 7 versiosn have the 2e recovery baked in, the kernel has 2e support with that ROM.

Sorry about your USB not being recognized. Have you tried to install the drivers? What were you doing with your phone when this happened?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Are you using the USB cord that came with the phone, or a purchased one? I can only connect with my PC using the real original cord.

As mentioned I hope you are on cog 2.2 6 or 7 then you can flash JH7 ota on your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790080

Grab this with your phone, and use ClockworkMod Recovery to install from .zip. This is the official JH7 OTA update and it is signed. This is the closest to stock you can get without a usb cable, bonus, it is rooted for you, that's the only difference.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmr0385:
I tried to flash via clockwork with a signed OS like the JF7 one, but I still get an error. Same one as trying to flash an unsigned rom. I still boot into 3e recovery, which I know is wrong. I cant flash a different kernel or anything to change it as I cant connect via USB. I think Im pretty much done at this point. I do have a working version of Cog 2.2b3... the screen is usually stays in landscape mode. Occasionally it will boot up in portrait mode. Do you guys know a reason for this?

Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmr0385:
I have read through as many posts as I could find and appreciate all the help. I cant flash to a newer version of Cog which is my biggest problem. I am stuck with the 3e recovery and without being able to make a data connection to run ODIN. I can get the phone into download mode, but there is zero data connection via the USB cable. Cant connect to the SD card with the phone on and cant connect to the computer in download mode. It used to work, same usb cable, all drivers installed, and with the same computer. Just stopped one day. Ill keep the search alive. Hoping at one point, we will be able to flash out of 3e recovery and it will save my day!

Sounds like it's trying to open the file, rather than just save it, and it can't find an associate program to open it with... try a different browser, like Dolphin HD instead of stock, and see if that will let you download the file and actually save it rather than trying to open it.

Okay, so I got inspired to do this:

...after looking around in this thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761517

I especially liked the cleaner looking themes, but wanted something even more streamlined. So I started by doing the following:

I thought that the samurai wallpaper was awesome, so I found it via Google here:

http://www.outlawdesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/samurai_me_by_patleeart.jpg

..and hit it with the sepia filter in Photoid. That darkened it up enough for me.

The dock I found on Deviant Art here:

http://kimboprice.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2ydmvn

...and ran it through GIMP. The only part that remained was the app drawer icon. I made the borders on the app drawer icon bolder, erased the rest and made new text icons and the simple white upper border.

For clock I used the DigiTrans clock skin for Weather & Toggle Widget that is available for free on the Market, and modified the widget background (simple white border and clock underline with a 25% transparency), AM icon and PM icon in GIMP.

To use any of it, just put the clock skin ZIP on your SD card in the appropriate folder and select it through the widget skin wizard in your Weather & Toggle Widget settings menu; the wallpaper is a no brainer; for the dock, using LauncherPro select preferences>appearance>dock background>custom image and choose it from the gallery, then use the included blank icon for the app drawer, phone and task manager apps.

There are two docks in the ZIP, a black one for lighter wallpapers and a white one for darker wallpapers.

Mods, please feel free to close this thread or remove any of my attachments if anything is not in line or if I've left out any credits. Everything I used was found on the web or in the market for free, except Weather & Toggle Widget which folks will have to download from the market on their own.

Hope some of your guys will like this theme.
