I was skeptical at first, but when I saw the device itself and its specifications I can believe it does what it says for sure. Would be interested to know how much it costs though. Has anybody inquired as to its cost yet, by chance?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cozmo1:
It costs $150 US including delivery. Tempting...

You guys don't need JTAG.. If you don't wanna mess around with soldering and Jig, try the method in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889128

Tried that resistor trick, didn't work on my bricked phone, but it did work on my replacement.

I'd love to get my brick working again so my fiancee can have it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyonide:
And it does work, there is a JTAG forum that one particular person has unbricked over 20 phones, a few of which were Captivates

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cozmo1:
Ricky, you think I'd spend $150 if it only fixed Captivates when I can easily fix it with a jig on a soft brick? It advertises that it can unbrick most modern phones including Androids and Iphone. That is tempting, imo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
If a Jig doesn't fix it, i'd sell my Captivate for parts rather than a JTag :D

Most of cases you do not need a JTAG. You may want to try a jig first.

I own a RIFF BOX! :)

Hi there!. Any members that are having this same issue please contact me if you need help. I own a RIFF box and have succesfully unbricked several now.

I am in Madison, WI USA. If members need unbricking i will do it for very inexpensive. Cover shipping and a pack of smokes. I own a cell/computer repair business and I am legitimate so no worries there. I can also give anyone the guerst login to our security camerasa if you would like to see the shop our the reassurance you will get your phone back alive and kickin. :)

Just wanna do something for the forum community that has helped me out so much mastering the Droid world.

I got pretty fed up with att's horrible ota engine. I never got any of their ota updates to actually work. I used Kies 1.53 got the jump to jh7 with absolutely no issues! Suddenly the cappy is happy, peppy and functional again. . .except. . .when i tried to check the ota, just for beans, it says "No Firmware." Im not a megamind at this, but that just sounds like it may be an issue down the road. I'm wondering how this is even functioning if it truly believes there is no firmware. Is this gonna be an issue when the official froyo drops, will i ever be able to ota my updates, does manny have a secret life that only his dog slobber knows!

Can anyone direct/enlighten me on how to port ROMs? Hate the fact we have such a great device but hardly anything to flash because of our limited devs in our section. Just want a little variety like everyone else. :D

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaquiel Harris:
Very,VERY true. couldn't have said that better. Unless the phones proccessor is a snapdragon, we get no love. Hell even the Vibrant isn't getting much love and that proccessor is supposedly faster than the snapdragon anyways. I just dont get whats the big deal with the whole 1GHZ snapdragon fetish everyone is on.. They act like the phone will constantly be on 1GHZ 24/7 and that its THAT much faster than a phone going at 800 mhz.. :rolleyes: The only phone that im actually gonna consider a huge upgrade is that Mytouch HD coming soon. apparently it has +700 mbs or Ram and thats what makes it superior to me. Not the name of its processor.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Correction; the name of it is officially the myTouch 4g. Idk if you've seen the youtube videos, but the phones software is almost an exact copy of our software and the phone looks almost exactly like ours. Yes the phone does have the faster processor, better ram, front facing cam etc. but I would still hold off on that phone till the Nexus 2 comes out or an official Gingerbread running phone comes out. The myTouch 4g is the top of the line right now, but that's just right now. You should hold out a bit. Wait for something ground breaking. Why get a phone that's basically the same as what you already have minus the keyboard? Watch the youtube reviews on it and see if you still want to drop the slide for it. After watching the video I thought hell no cause its almost the same phone except processor, bigger screen, front cam and gorilla glass. Check the video out if you haven't and let me know if you think its still worth it. I think its worth it if your leaving from a phone without Espresso sense and you want to try out the new UI. Our phone is still pretty fast despite the 600mhz processor and we can root the phone and get 200 more out of it. Plus video calls aren't even standard yet so most of us don't even have any friends or family to do video calls with.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arayray:
Well you shouldnt complain we have support from CM, by its self that is enough to keep this device alive for a while. Yes devs could build it for it but were getting attention from alot of people, just wait until we get full root well have more options and I think more roms will come.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaquiel Harris:
Yeah i looked at that. Not really a correction since i knew that before reading, But ok :) You seem to be kinda saying what ive been trying to saying but i see your point in it. I know about the 4G and i think its nice but i don't wanna upgrade to it. Was just saying it was an "upgrade" of the phones we have available now if i was to switch devices IE Nexus vibrant etc. What i was trying to say was that we don't really have much dev support because of our "low-end" specs but i dont really find them so low end compared to other devices other than the processor speed. Im very happy with My slide and more than likely wont upgrade until an Android 3.0 stock device comes out. hopefully its not like the G2 :rolleyes:

I wasn't Complaining. Hell hes pretty much the only Dev we have (No disrespect to other devs working on our device) but that limits us to just stock android. He wont ever do anything other than stock so other roms that come to surface wont ever really be ported and thats my concern. And what do you mean when we get "full" root?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Yea, I'm waiting for gingerbread also. They claim gingerbread is supposed to be filled with 3d games. I don't play much games, but that would be cool to see.I'm anxious to see what the ui would look like. Android 2.2 is already amazing.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
The software on this phone is incredibly stable, so I wouldn't be surprised to find out this is true. I just rooted my phone two days ago and I've flashed 4 Roms and I've had not one of the problems my friends have had with their Verizon phones (especially the Droid-series phones). I'm keeping stock CM til I find one I really like.

As to the whole lack of devs thing, when I *finally* found the ROM bible (I wanted to find a good set of Roms before rooting), I was actually quite impressed at how many we have. Between 2.1 Expresso and the Froyo goodness we've got nearly 2 dozen Roms to choose from, which is way more than I expected from a not-so-popular-because-we-don't-have-buzzwords-like-snapdragon phone like ours. Plus, there's some themed 2.2 Roms posted in the dev section not in the Rom bible yet. Since our phone has only been out for a few months, we're average more than 1 new Rom a week. I can live with that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I wouldn't know because I'm still running a stock unrooted rom. This phone is not easy to root and I own a Mac which makes rooting even harder.

I guess HTC and google made sure that the software was well developed to prevent bricking. It is in a company's best interest to do so. They must of caught on to people who have rooted phones in the past and have bricked them then switched back to stock to make it look like it was a software issue so they don't void warranty. Company's lose money because of things like that. I guess that's why the G2 still haven't been able to get permanent root.

I tried to search butvi cant find how exactly do u disable lagfix, im still learning so dont flame me
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
You can start by telling us which lagfix you have.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
Lets say voodoo, i wanted to flash a rom that has it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Disable lagfix

1. Mount phone on computer (connect it so that you see its two card, one internal, one external if you have one).

2. Navigate to the Voodo folder on the internal SDCARD (there should be only one of the two cards that has this folder)

3. Create a file (or folder) named "disable-lagfix", no extensions. (right click -> new-> new file or folder)

4. Unmount your cards from the computer.

5. Shut phone OFF.

6. Turn back on.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
I would add this... give the phone and os time to do it's business. Converting data too/from ext4 takes a few min. Have heard a lot of folks soft bricking by not allowing time for the data conversion process, thinking their phone was locked up and pulling the battery. It's not. Wait it out.

[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
Came across a newer version of Odin3 on Samfirmware.com in their Galaxy Tab firmware section.

note: I repackaged the zip from Samfirmware.com because it contained a .pit file for the tab, and I didn't want someone making the mistake of using it....

File attached...
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Edit::

Thanks........
[Vibrant Android Development] dogboyaa1:
Agreed, same version but is 20k larger. Virus injected Odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
After seeing what you said above I double checked the original download from samfirmware.com and my .rar

It's 1k smaller than 1.52, has a different build date (August 8th for 1.52...October 1 for 1.7).....runs fine on 3 systems here, and caused no virus popups...

You might have something else going on not related to this......
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Nope, pretty sure not.

It wasn't only me who got a warning.
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
Well i've yet to get a popup, it works (just flashed JI6 to test), and is not 20k larger on my systems (as the other poster claimed)....dunno....

Sometimes antivirus popups result from false positives as well, but I''ll triple check to be sure...

Since I'm the original poster however I'll keep looking into this, to see if I'm missing something....
[Vibrant Android Development] n2ishun:
I just grabbed it, scanned it rar'd and unpacked with Kaspersky 11.0

Ran fine, no bugs found.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
try taking it out of the zip then running it.

I have tried to download it twice, it won't open && I am getting virus popups
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
Just scanned it with Kaspersky and AVG....clean as a bell...

I'm thinking it may simply be a false positive occuring in some antivir or antimalware package....or someone is infected with something they only now realized...

Oh well...as with all downloads......caveat emptor. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] n2ishun:
I did...that is why I posted that I checked it as a rar and then I checked it again unpacked.

I also tested it's functionality, it works fine.

No bugs.
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
Doesn't seem to be a virus here, filesize is smaller, MBAM doesn't detect anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
Try online scanning the .exe here...

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus

we can compare results this way.....on my end it both comes up clean and works reliably to flash..
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
I did a VirusTotal scan (meta-virus scanner) which can be found here. 0/43 positive.
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
Yeah...I'm thinking this has just tripped up someone already infected with something. I see no evidence of anything...

And I'm not trying to be all he said/she said about it either. I just want to take responsibility for the things I post. The last thing we need is me causing people grief here because I was sloppy. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] dogboyaa1:
ahhhmmmm...
[Vibrant Android Development] mostyle:
Check this..

I prefer virus total for online scans.

Have a look here for that result.. 0/43.

I'd venture it's safe.

I also notice that he has an 'efs reset' which looks interesting.
[Vibrant Android Development] dogboyaa1:
I agree. I never received a virus alert. But I was comparing the sizes and the versions in Version tab w/ a couple of Odin exes I have around.

And they are all 1.0.0.1, and the file in question is alittle bigger than the other three I had.
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
ahhhm....now I understand why you claim a huge filesize difference...You didn't pay attention to the conversation....

The file size difference appears to be because your comparing 1.70 to Odin3 v1.00 and not to v1.52, which Master™ and I were referring to...

Insofar as the reoccuring v 1.0.0.1 file version in details.....Chalk that up to Samsung being lazy with their compiler. :P

Odin 3 v1.00 is old, buggy and not a version I'd advise using on a phone. This (1.70) is the fourth version of Odin3 I've come across....Past time to upgrade. :)

A lot of people still use v1.00 successfully....but on older 32bit systems...v1.00 causes many significant problems however and I stopped using it a long time ago which has completely halted any and all stalls I commonly encountered when using Odin...
[Vibrant Android Development] dogboyaa1:
I stand corrected master...and yes samsung is retarded about keeping them the same. Thx for the lesson :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Klyentel:
Works just fine on my system, Windows 7 64 bit, using Norton anti-virus and Microsoft Security Essentials...

no problems unzipping, and my downloads get scanned as they download, so nothing ever makes it my computer if its infected.

@ OP, good find, thanks for sharing.

Nexus Two = Galaxy S

Have you heard the news? Google is working with Samsung on Nexus Two.

And rumors claim that it will be actually called Nexus S. It is supposed to have the same specs as Galaxy S have and to be released with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)

http://androidandme.com/2010/10/news/rumor-samsung-will-announce-the-nexus-two-on-november-8th/

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jam3sjam3s:
Well, Galaxy S is the best Android phone on the market at the moment (hardware wise). So if there isn't going to be released any better soon, Galaxy S is the most obvious choice for Nexus Two.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Why would you? It's basicaly the same phone, only ported!

You'd have to do the hastle to sell the phone, get another one with the same internals but with Google's logo instead. Just flash a rom on the first one and it'll be the same (ok... not the logos, but you can get those on eBay if you REALY want em!)
