[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy22:
Trying to get into recovery mode gets me the at&t logo and the "jingle", but no recovery mode menu to reboot, etc.

This is what I'm worried about, restoring the Rogers stock over top of the Odin 1 click restore (which is an AT&T image) has bricked it and prevents download mode from invoking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy22:
I know, I played with adb before I bricked it. ADB needs to "see" the phone, it no longer sees it (I have three computers, all three can't see it, but they can see my friends cappy with no problems first time, every time). Same process for his phone works every time to get into download mode, but not on mine.

And yes, have tried other USB ports on the same computer, both on the mainboard, and on the front ports.

Keep the ideas coming though please, I will try every one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merlin_reloaded:
There's a trick to prompt download mode through a "jig" which you can hack together for about $2 in parts and a sacrificial microUSB cable...it works on the other SGSes, but I think it should work on the Captivate as well. Never tried it personally...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy22:
I work in a tech shop so have access to electronics, sacrificial cables, soldering irons, resistors, caps, etc.... could you point me in the right direction?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy22:
Oh, nevermind, found it in the i9000 forum. Will test first thing in the morning!

I bricked one today as well. Exactly what you are talking about here. The only thing is that i was still under the 30days so i swapped it out for a new one. As of right now ive been debating whether i want to do the voodoo fix (which i think is what bricked it to begin with)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmy22:
I'll follow up here tomorrow if the little jig works. Reading the thread in the i9000 forum it looks very hopeful.

@serialtoon, What brick it was the thing looking at the computer monitor...if you don't know what your doing then don't do it....voodoo lagfix ONLY converts your /data partition from rfs to ext4, and makes a dummy 200mb partition to fool the kernels rfs check...

Let me know how it goes. EE student myself, and I've been considering playing around with the other values (to trigger dock mode or audio out over USB.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10tonhammr:
You may or may not have already checked here, but the android dev section has a Rogers Captivate thread. You may want to check it out if the jig fails. Someone there may have run into a similar problem.

happy dance

Well, the "jig" fixed it!!!! I am so happy. One of my tech's constructed it for me (I've attached the photo of it). It is made of three 100k ohm resistors, and a 500 ohm which after tolerances came in at exactly 301K ohm. The cable we took apart actually had pins 4 and 5 connected, so when we pulled it we sucked the solder out, then connected the those pins between the resistors in serial.

1. Everything pulled from phone (battery, sim, sd, cable).

2. Inserted battery (didn't touch any buttons)

3. Inserted "jig", didn't touch anything.

4. Within 3 seconds, had downloading mode icon.

5. Pulled "jig"

6. Launched ODIN 1 click downloader recovery to 2.1 at&t rom

7. attached USB to computer, within a couple of seconds computer saw it, then another couple and ODIN saw it. Flashed the phone.

8. Flash took about a minute, rebooted, came up.

9. Did happy dance on a Friday afternoon!!!!

Thanks for everyone's suggestions about 3 button combos. I hope this helps someone out there that really is reading, and really is putting up with the comments that we don't know what we are doing with the 3 button download mode.

Give that this reasonably simple jig can be made out of spare parts lying around, I am swaying towards the fact that maybe, just maybe, this phone can't be bricked.

Take care,

sweet, i learned something from this thread. now i can flash with even less fear! :P i have insurance so ive never been too worried but that's a cool trick. and yes maybe it is unbrickable, at least via software.

i flashed a pos evo yesterday and im glad i have a captivate, so much easier to fix, more options to work with and on a side note better construction!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merlin_reloaded:
just as I was writing up a how-to guide :p (it still works on non-bricked phones)

Kudos to you.

P.S: Do you know how fine the tolerances should be? Still triggers at ~302-303k

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] shahriar5252:
I have installed Sprint Lovers ROM CE OS 5.2.28232 (Build 28232.5.3.3) on my Sprint TP2.

In this ROM, the softkeys in the bottom menubar are all round. However, I have seen screen shots of many other wm6.5.3 custom ROMs that have the more elegant round version of menubar's softkeys. Compare the menubars in my two screen shots to see what I mean.

Does anyone know how to change the menubar softkeys to the round versions? If anyone knows of any ROM that has this added features for Sprint TP2, please let me know.

Thanks for your help.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
check the thread you started @ ppcgeeks, you have some answers there.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] shahriar5252:
For those interested, someone replied to my post in PPCGeeks. All you have to do is change the theme from HTC Black to Classic Blue or others in the settings.

Here is another request for everyone. Does anyone know of a CAB for a theme that preserves the HTC Black them but uses the round buttons instead of the squared ones? I don't like the blue, red, purple, orange, or green highlighting that I get from these other themes. I rather have the gray highlighting of HTC Black theme, but I want to get the round buttons instead of the squared ones. Does anyone know of a way doing this?

This guy needs DZO! DZO is a genius with a PhD in computer science. He's the one that pioneered Android on the HTC Vogue (a WinMo phone) and made it possible for all the other winmo htc's to get android. he rewrote all the drivers and such to work with those phones and I'm sure he is smart enough to do this. However, he lives in new zealand i believe and therefore cannot really get an X. Hopefully something can work out.
[Droid X General] amathophobia:
I think if he said that he said that he would work on the dx then we could get enough donations together to get him a dx. I don't think he would have to have access to the Verizon network to test wether or not the radio is working.

No, but a hex editor is pretty self explanatory imo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
If only I had your level of skill and intelligence. I could not even get past step 1. I download the file. The instructions say to remove the .txt extension, but when I download it, it is already in .xml but it is a .txt document, and I cant figure out how to change it.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] apristel:
goto your folder options in windows and uncheck "hide extensions for known file types".. then you can see the .txt extension in windows

http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-Hidden-File-Extensions-in-Windows-XP Same instructions for XP, Vista, 7

Otherwise CDMA workshop is on isohunt.com if you search for it. Get the cracked version. It will report a false positive with most anti-virus.. no virus though.

Editing now. Never tried to use adb, lets see if I can conquer that...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
After I put in the modified version of the .xml how do I 'close the file', or put the framework-res folders contents back into the .apk since I unzipped it. Or do I just push the .apk and leave the extracted folder alone?

Nvm, got it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] d94:
what kind of voltage are you giving it to get 1.6 stable? based on what im reading, anything above 1.3/1.4 is pretty much unachievable on these devices and is not really the speed that the device is running thus the unscaled rise in benchmark scores. iv been following hero_over and he couldnt get a stable 1.4 OC although he did get 1.3ghz on stock volts stable..which keeps me wondering if we really can hit 1.6 stable
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
lol I was gonna say. I'm going good with Neocore as well.

All of it is on my git. I release my source, as devs should with GPL. The problem is that the fsb isn't scaled properly, affecting the floating point processor, causing low Linpack scores. I'll have it worked out this weekend,

Well I had my battery calibrated with the Mixup kernel earlier, so perhaps that is why I have somewhat acceptable battery life.

The app I use is called Autorun Killer, but one of the DRM/download services restarts itself after every phone call. You have to use the paid version (or something else?) to permanently kill that one

I need help with a workaround for the "android" boot logo. I'm using a the stock odexed rom because I want to keep Mobile AP working (for now). I'd like to clear the android boot logo and just keep the stock, if at all possible. I understand that this kernel is designed for use with the syndicate ROM but I'm content with my current setup and just wanted to check out some of these kernels that have been released.

BTW, I ran the stock ROM with

Baked Snack 1.4 @ 1.3GHz and got 10.3 Mflops

Xtreme Kernel 1.0.1 @ 1.6GHz and got 13.4 Mflops

Frozen Eclair (JIT) beta v1.4 @ 1GHz and got 14.5Mflops (but unstable)

Best experience so far is the Xtreme Kernel, as it runs the least buggy, although I only had issues with BS 1.4 during shutdown, it would hang on the animation and require a battery pull. Otherwise, I have a hard time telling the difference between the two other than the benchmark numbers. Very cool stuff developing here. Looking forward to seeing what this kernel turns into.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
For best results, just add a custom boot animation. There are plenty floating around, including ones in SyndicateROM and Heroic Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kubernetes:
That's because it's probably not running at 1.6.

Sorry guys, but this was tried on the Vibrant and the Fascinate.

It may read 1.6 and it may bench like it's 1.6, but it's probably not unless ACS has figured out something that Morfic, Agenthex, and everyone else has not. Here's now Viralblack (Team Whiskey) described it:

And Morfic (who did the original kernel work on Project Manhattan):

Now, I will say that I have no idea if this kernel is doing the same thing, but it sounds familiar. Weird vibrate issues. High benches, but UI actually seems slower. When you run Nenamark or Neocore, does it seem like it's actually jerkier and skipping frames?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
This is both right and wrong.

The boot animation comes from me only supporting custom boots... Sammy made their boot not play well with custom boots, so it display weird.

That lagginess, though, is hard to notice on Syndicate ROM. I noticed it a little while I was on EE, but it didn't bother me. Everything else, however, seem to run smooth. I play Angry Birds like my phone is on meth.

As for framerate choppiness in the tests, I'm not seeing it. It runs smooth and displays every frame.

The vibrate issues are caused by what he described. I've tried to squash it, but Android is handling it weird. I wonder more if it was that these kind of clock speeds were unexpected as the code really doesn't know what to do with it.

I'm gonna add in a 1.4GHz step and hope it helps, but I can't be sure. Team Whiskey had the 800MHz-1.6GHz jump that I didn't quite understand and, I think, why they see as much choppiness as they do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:

OP: can you show me your DIV0 for 1600mhz and the APLL p,m,s for 1600mhz?

and meanwhile, can someone install "ntp client" from market and check what size offset they get when their phone uses performance governor only (will run phone at 1600mhz non stop, and if there is a drift, it will show more easily)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Check my GitHub, it's there. My local copy is a little screwed up.

And I did the ntp client test myself. It's 6-9 seconds. So, you are right. But we aren't getting the jitters the other phones are experiencing. I'm not denying the problem exists, it does, just saying it's not hurting us on the Epic nearly as bad.

I'm testing some things out right now...
[Epic 4G Android Development] morfic:
static const u32 s5p_sys_clk_mps_tab_1GHZ[][6] = {

{400, 8, 1, 667, 12, 1},

24MHz*400/(8*2^1-1) is 9600/(8*2^0) or 9600/(8*1) or 9600/8 or 1200MHz

It is a 1.2GHz kernel as is the Facinate kernel.

i tell you where the skew is from

/*apll, a2m, HCLK_MSYS, PCLK_MSYS, HCLK_DSYS, PCLK_DSYS, HCLK_PSYS, PCLK_PSYS, MFC_DIV, G3D_DIV, MSYS source(2D, 3D, MFC)(0->apll,1->mpll), DMC0 div*/

static const u32 s5p_sys_clk_div0_tab_1GHZ[][DIV_TAB_MAX_FIELD] = {

{0, 7, 7, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 6, 0, 3}, /* APLL=1.600GHz, MPLL=667MHz, ARMCLK=1.200GHz, SCLKA2M=200MHz, HCLK_MSYS=200MHz */

value 5 and 7 (1 based counting, or 5th and 7th from the left ;) ) are both 6

both DSYS and PSYS are not based on APLL but MPLL as source, so you divide them more without having changed the input frequency.

7th from left is HCLK_PSYS, the RTC is in the PSYS domain.

your gpu spits out the same number of frames, but since your time runs slower more frames get counted in what the system thinks is one second

just noticed there must be a freudian slip in the comments, it says apll 1600 and armclk1.200GHz, apll and armcore would be the same.

i am very intrigued by your flip flopping your MSYS source from APLL to MPLL at least from how it looks on a stock vibrant source.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:

Sent from my Emotionless Beast of an ACS Epic using the XDA App
[Epic 4G Android Development] LucJoe:
No, setcpu isn't included in the rom and I assumed the clocks were already set up in the kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeOverTrance:
I tried this kernel paired with the normal ROM that it was built into. I tried to flash the superslim and BAM, phone got messed up
[Epic 4G Android Development] LucJoe:
How so? Mine took a very long time on first boot, but has been perfect since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeOverTrance:
I don't know but whatever you do I would suggest staying AWAY from the superslim. I tried the normal ROM . Good. Paired with the normal kernel. Better. Tried a different kernel. Decent. Tried to superslim and BAM, the bootimage refuses to go away. I know the phone has booted up because when I slide the keyboard and it goes to landscape, I can see launcher pro off to the side and the wallpaper but the bootimage is stil taking up part of the screen. And to make it worse, I can't even restore my backup. The bootimage ( it's the one with the four colors ) is still going on even when I restore to my old setup, which unfortunately is also Syndicate ROM and kernel. To make it EVEN worse, my CWM is now slow and buggy and the USB mount doesn't work. This means I have to navigate through my phone using a 1/3rd of the screen that I can see and put some other ROM and Kernel on it and try flashing it. If not, I might have to resort to Odin and re-root and get Clockwork on there again

PRO TIP : Use normal Syndicate not SuperSlim
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
I hate seeing this kind of reaction to an open source project. The devs are trying hard but nobody can predict all the variables. If something is 'unsatsifactory', you always have the option to try and fix it yourself. Nobody said any of this is guaranteed to work flawlessly, or at all for that matter.

Re-flashing a kernel that contains a boot video (like Xtreme) should fix your issue.
