I'll send the RIFF BOX + Universal jig, pins, etc. if you pay shipping and post up the source tree on github with each patch as a revision :) With that you could make your own jig without too much trouble (or get one from a polish site like Multi-COM like you mentioned, solder free..

Email them with a link to the image I posted of i897 pinout, they can tell you from that easily if it's compatible with i9000 pinout (should be) - i've dealt with them before and they are very responsive. It's hard to tell from the photo they have posted but it appears to be the same.

I did the soldering for HD2 and the pinout was in no-where near as nice a place as that, and much smaller :)

If we all donate a little bit, he can buy another captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] krl66:
Sounds like this would be your best bet, Setiron. If you're interested, let us know... I pledge the first 10 bucks toward shipping. And thanks DG.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
$10 more here for shipping too!
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
I am still in with another $10 at least. Just let us know who's sending what, so we know where to send the money.
[Captivate Android Development] temp7788:
Setiron, I asked a stupid question last time, and I got your answer. Thank you!

I translated this "Development stopped" thread in a Chinese forum gfan.

I am a new user, and not permitted to post outside links.

Anyway, We'd like do something to help you. Find one way that could let you have a functional Captivate ASAP.

I find the donate link in first page, is it still working?

Can you create a page that we can donate in a different currency? Like RMB.

I'm not familiar with that part. Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
SetiroN, it's a loss of your cappy...

But what about CIFS and 1.4.5 kernel? I have CIFS enabled, but it doesn't show up in lsmod command...
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
It says all over about how you are voiding your warranty by doing certain things. Yet you encourage people to just send it in and claim warranty replace. AT&T WILL CHARGE THEM WHEN THE FIND THE VOIDED WARRANTY ISSUES!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Not sure how well they actually check. I sent one in that had screen issues which had been modded as well as completely disasembled (out of curiousity) and they sent me a refurb, no charge. This was a few months ago so they are obviously not too thorough in there "investigating"

Also, put me down for another donation to get you going again setiron
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
there is absolutely no investigation done , of course there is always the unlucky ones ...

Also, beside the fact setiron being smart enough to figure out on his own whathe wishes to do he already mentioned price of decent shipping from europe to US would be too hi price to pay ... so wait for offiical stand from him on what he wants to do next then lets start a thread to find the means to provide him with a new captivate if that is what he wishes , with all the chit chat goin on here we are lucky if he even read all hem pages since he last posted ....
[Captivate Android Development] lpsi2000:
Setiron,

Let's get this thing started already. Get in touch with DG and or Da_G and figure out what you need, what you are going to do, and how much it will cost you. After that tell us where we should donate to get you going.

Christmas is around the corner it would be good to get you up and running quickly.

I personally think DG broken glass full function device might be a good idea but that decision is really on you. Like the kernels, we are all eagerly awaiting for your next move:p
[Captivate Android Development] SetiroN:
I have no words to explain how thankful I am: PAulyhoffman offered to donate a spare phone he had, and promptly shipped it on the same day.

A special mention goes to Patrick Richter, Paul's father in law, who just passed away on Saturday: a most generous man in honor of whom he would like to dedicate the donation.

I've already covered the shipping fee myself but customs will add a variable amount in taxes (most definitely 20% of original value as they usually do, although the specified value is just $100).

Hoping customs won't hold the package over the holidays, untested version versions will have to do for now. :D

HUGE thanks go to every single one who offered help, I really am moved by the affection demonstrated by this wonderful community.

v1.4.6 OUT

- improved wi-fi performance

- fixed internal SD mount as CD-ROM on JPU
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Awesome news and hats off to PAulyhoffman ...wow.

This made my day
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I sent Microsoft an Xbox 360 that I melted with a hair dryer and they still fixed it.

If you think that they're paying an assembly line worth of people to hand inspect the warranty returns, then you're nuts. If you get them to agree to exchanging it, then you're in the clear.

I bricked a Captivate (in retrospect, a jig might have worked... but that wasn't released yet), went into an AT&T Warranty center, and all they checked was the water marker. If you've broken it to the point that you can't fix it with the tools on this site, then they won't be able to tell what the hell happened to it.
[Captivate Android Development] lbbo2002:
Thanks SetiroN and PAulyhoffman!!!!!! Hopefully you can get your phone soon. Happy holidays.

[Captivate Android Development] Peaster111:
Hey SetiroN,

I don't know if you've seen this or if it helps any...

DG is reporting that his upcoming v3 kernel will fix the "charging death and usb removal freeze". He is saying the fix is something about "Disabling BFQ".

Personally I've never had these issues, but it would benefit the "masses". Something to think about for the next update once you are up and running again.
[Captivate Android Development] SetiroN:
v1.5.5 OUT

- lowered default freq to 1000MHz

- updated ram disk to late 1.4.x versions

- improved wi-fi performance

[Captivate Android Development] amtrakcn:
Wow, thank you so much PAulyhoffman! This is really good news.

SO Excited to see new SetiroN kernels
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
1.4.6 is running great.

Thanks for your hard work SetiroN
[Captivate Android Development] amtrakcn:
Just flashed 1.5.5

There was no boot animation(weired), GT-i9000 -> Black Screen -> Lock Screen

Then frozen after that... the freeze problem exists with other 1.5 variants
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Since I've never flashed a kernel using Odin before I just want to confirm I put the kernel in th PDA box and leave everything else default?
[Captivate Android Development] amtrakcn:
Yes, that's correct, extract the tar file from the 7z package.

And double check you did not check the "repartition" box.

[HD2 General] moro80:
Hello everyone,

I tried finding a solution for this on Google and through the forums here and fell short.

When I record mp4 files with the Camcorder on my HD2 that are larger than, say 90MB, they do not play on the device (when you tap the file, nothing happens). Also, when I copy these files on my Windows PC, Quicktime prompts a "Bad Public Movie Atom".

I cannot find a way to recover these files...and it does not happen with smaller mp4s.

Anybody experience this/found a fix for it?
[HD2 General] moro80:
Really? No one's experienced this? Sorry for being a little desperate and bumping this thread...but if anyone can help...would be much appreciated. I figured if anyone could help, it would be the guys at XDA. Thanks again.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Have you tried playing them with some other program?
[HD2 General] moro80:
Yes I have...Quicktime...RealPlayer...Windows Media Player...Media Player Classic...Divx Player. I always get a random error message about how the file cannot be played back. They will not play on my Archos 5IT either. Very frustrating. What is surprising to me is that no one else has reported similar behavior on the HD2, at least to my knowledge.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me...as I frequently record stuff thats like 150+MB for my YouTube...and they work just fine. What kinda SD card and formatting are you using?
[HD2 General] moro80:
I am using the 16gb SanDisk SD card that came with the phone (class 2 I believe). I have not changed the formatting since I bought it.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Well man, that is just terrible all the way around...uhm, have you tried hard resetting? I am at a total loss here.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
try open the file in some tag editor software, change any tag, save it. See what happens, and let us know.
[HD2 General] moro80:
Thanks for the tip. Installed Mp3Tag v2.46a. When I try to save the tag I get an error message: "File cannot be opened for writing". The file is not set to Read Only...so I am not sure why I am getting this message.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ah well, it was just something i came across on google.
[HD2 General] moro80:
Well, seems that I found the root to the problem. I backed up all the contents of my SD card to the computer, then formatted the SD card, using the format function on my HD2. After I restarted and copied all my backed up content back, the camcorder now shoots videos normally...and they come out much smaller in size than before. The down-side is, the corrupt videos I took before will not work, and I still have no way to fix them, even after trying all the suggestions that come up after a Google search.

I just felt obliged to share...if you are shooting corrupt videos with your HTC HD2...format your SD card, and it will solve the problem for future videos.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
EDIT: Use the app from KShatzkes' post #24.

I installed the the OTA update, and like many 2.2 phones now, if you use the Email app to connect to exchange, you have to enter an annoying password just to unlock your phone, every time it locks. It's annoying and time consuming because you cannot use the pattern unlock --- you must choose an alphanumeric code at least four digits long.

There are email.apk files that bypass this, but since we cannot replace our email.apk permanently, that probably won't work for us.

The phone did not do this before the OTA, but now it does. Also, you can disable it via the databases in 2.1 (or use lockpicker), but these solutions seem to be broken in 2.2.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
Yes! This is bothering the heck out of me too! Hopefully some solution arises soon!

EDIT: I am guessing that the only option we have is to do something like Paul's Goggles Removal app. If we remove the Email that way, we can then install the other .apk just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
I emailed my company's IT department today about this, and got an interesting response:

So apparently, we got the "full" version of activesync. Sucks. I never before wanted something so underdeveloped. =(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zielin:
Wish I could revert to the old version of the app as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smasraum:
I haven't noticed a difference since I installed the OTA.

I'm definitely not having to enter any password to unlock when I bring the phone to life.

I didn't have an unlock code before, and still don't. Maybe that's the difference. Did you have an unlock pattern before? Maybe it changes the type of code you can use.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MARINERMOOSE241:
I have the same annoying Pin requirement now after the OTA. I also did not have a pin before the update. It sucks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmk40:
I'll toss out an idea to get around this.

Root with Visionary.

Connect device via USB.

adb shell

su

pm disable com.android.email.policy

Our corporate Exchange server does not have these policies enforced so I cannot confirm whether it will do the trick. But either way, the change is persistent so you only need to do it once unless you wipe.

It can be undone by substituting the last command with "enable" instead of "disable.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
This is probably because your IT staff has not enabled the security (or more likely disabled it, since it is enabled by default in Exchange). I talked to our IT guys, and they say the national corporate office won't disable it, but they all hate it (local IT).

I showed them how to disable it in 2.1 Eclair, but those fixes don't work in 2.2 Froyo. The only fix for Froyo is to replace the Email.apk with a hacked version, but we cannot do this without permanent root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
I'll give it a shot, but my guess is that you won't be able to connect to the server at all without an email policy.

Edit: Doesn't work. You cannot send without the policy, and the password is still there. If you delete the account and recreate, it still forces you to create a password, and you still cannot send.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
So to get this straight, the issue is with the Email.apk or the Email Policy file? Or both?

smasraum, can you upload your Email.apk and/or the com.android.email.policy that you say work for you? I doubt it is gonna work without perm root, but I'm so frustrated that I want to see if the system will allow me to downgrade the files.

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
Here is the working (without password) Email.apk. I have this working fine on my Nexus with no password required. I don't think any changes to the policy are necessary. I believe this works by telling the Email app not to ask the server what its password policies are.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
I am assuming this apk won't remain on a reboot, will it? Will it revert back to the new apk?

If so, I guess we can make a visionary.sh script which can install the working apk on boot. Closest thing we will have.

EDIT: I tried to install that Email.apk, but I am getting an "Application not installed." Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
I don't think you can install it. I think you have to push it to the system/app directory. Then reboot, which is why it won't work on the G2. Also, I believe the ROM needs to be deodexed, so it would not work with the stock ROM anyways.

The steps I followed on my Nexus:

1) Delete Exchange account.

2) Remove password and go to regular lockscreen.

3) Replace existing email.apk with edited email.apk.

4) Reboot.

5) Add Exchange account.

All this was done on CM 6.1, which, I believe, is deodexed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
Ah, okay so I see the real problem more clear now. And a visionary.sh script won't work because we need a reboot...

So I am guessing the only way to actually get this done is through Paul's Google Goggles method. Trick the system into deleting the current Email.apk, and then installing the old one. Anyone know enough to make that happen? =P
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
You can do that via Titanium backup with Paul's update. The problem is, if it doesn't work, then the change is permanent, and there is no current way of reverting.

I don't know if it would work, though, because it's not a market app, so it would not have the necessary signature to write itself to system/app and then run.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
Ah I didn't know Titanium Backup can do it now! Thats awesome.

But yes, I am wary that the change can be permanent if it doesn't work. Anyone pre-OTA (or a brave soul Post-OTA), willing to help us out and try this? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
I just caught the end of your last post. Yeah, I didn't think of it that way. I guess no matter what we aren't going to be able to make changes to the /system/app.

But, wait. If we deleted the Email.apk through TB, and then as long as the other Email.apk could be installed, then I think we would be good. Since we could make a visionary.sh script to install the good Email.apk on boot each time. But still, the problem I guess is we aren't too sure if the Email.apk would install in the first place...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
Yeah, that's what I don't know. In effect, the NAND lock is not only keeping us from customizing our phones, it's keeping us from trying to customize our phones.

exchange problem after OTA update

i believe the problem i'm experiencing is related to everyone else here except i am not asked to enter any pin or pass codes. prior to the OTA update on 11/5 am for me, i was having absolutely no problems checking my work email via exchange. now after the update, i get this error message when i go into the app and try to retrieve email "unable to open connection to server".

anyone else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
I got this once. The problem seems that after the OTA, it did not push the security policy to the phone. The solution for me was to delete the account and then re-enable it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorezen:
what do you mean by "re-enable"? you mean delete the account and re-add it back? i just tried that and still got the same error msg during the setup process.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
That is what I meant. Delete the account and add it back. The only other things I can think of is to make sure you are on the TMO network. Our office WiFi blocks the ports you need to connect to the Exchange server. Also, try deleting the com.email.policy and see if that helps.

Remote Security Administration

I am getting a prompt as i set up my work email. It says that "the server requires that you allow it to remotely control some of the security features of your phone. Do you wish to finish setting up this account?"

This was never prompted to me the first time i set up the account pre OTA. Is this a normal request and what exactly would it (the exchange server) try to remotely control?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
I can confirm that the this Email.apk bypasses the new security policy after OTA. Install it after perma-rooting.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s30zgt:

how did you install the edited email.apk?

From what i can gather from the thread:

Install titanium back up and remove the email.apk installed

then move the edited email.apk to /system/app

is that it? and how did you move the edited apk? via ADB?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
Yes, it would do exactly that. Here is what I did...

I first MOVED the currently installed Email.apk and corresponding .odex file to /sdcard/backup, just in case. I then rebooted the phone. After rebooting, install the above Email.apk, and you should be all good!

Let me know if there is any problems. And of course, perm-root is required.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s30zgt:
how did you move the email.apk? i have perm root but when i try to move the email.apk via file manager i get insufficient permission. what am i doing wrong. i thank you in advance for your patience.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
I used Root Explorer. I suggest you get it from the Market. Well worth it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s30zgt:
anyway of doing this through adb. while root explorer is great and all i was hoping that this was possible without shelling out money, even though 4 bucks is probably a steal. Also not a bad to practice adb commands at the same time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KShatzkes:
You can try this:

$ adb shell
$ su
# mv /system/app/email.apk /sdcard/backup
# mv /system/app/email.odex /sdcard/backup

Then reboot, and install the other .apk.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s30zgt:
