[Captivate Android Development] wallacebw:
Ok.. I was flashing Cognition to my captivate (using ODIN) when the usb cable came unplugged in the middle of flashing factoryfs.rfs.

I can't even get the phone to power on at all... No connect to computer icon, no recovery screen, no download screen, nothing no screen at all.

Any way to recover this? I tried several things

Three Button combo

VOL+ & VOL- while plugging in usb

remove battery and sim

etc...

Here's the ODIN log.

Please help. Anyone know how to recover from this?
[Captivate Android Development] Mkarin:
maybe needs to be charged?

try leaving it connected to power for a while..
[Captivate Android Development] sourkrawt:
If it will not turn on you might very well be bricked. As previously suggested, you could leave it plugged in and see if your battery is just drained. However, while you are waiting you can still do your research. Look over this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775911 for a discussion on how to unbrick a captivate.

I would also suggest you check this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989 as often flashing back to stock will "reset" the errors created while updating roms.
[Captivate Android Development] wallacebw:
Was >90% battery when i started...
[Captivate Android Development] wallacebw:
I can't even boot do download to use ODIN...
[Captivate Android Development] wallacebw:
FIXED

OK... GOT IT... Here's what I did

1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.

2. Wait 10 seconds.

3. Open odin3

4. Insert battery.

5. Connect usb cable.

6. HOLD VOL+ and VOL- while plugging in USB

Got download screen and flashed with ODIN..

Could swear I tried that at least twice before posting... also, this varied from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775911, but was similar, so may be worth noting.

Yay... I feel better Thanks all.

[Fascinate General] BingoDanny:
Guys I dont know if im making sense but i see alot of so called roms in the dev section. Are these Themed roms? or True Roms where touchwiz is trully disabled and still not running in the background?

Hope im making sense!
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Reading the OP for each posted ROM will probably answer the question.
[Fascinate General] gardndj:
Some of them have it removed, while some of them have it as an option. Either way it's incredibly easy to remove it completely from the system. I guess I'm not really sure what your definition of a "true" rom is, all the ones in the dev section take sammy's firmware and make it leagues better. We won't have an AOSP rom until froyo drops.
[Fascinate General] phoenx06:
No, even the ones with Touchwiz apps replaced or deleted are still built off the Touchwiz platform. There is no true AOSP rom right now, and probably won't be until 2.2 drops. Many are working on it, and ready to kick into high gear when 2.2 drops, as well as it's been stated there will be CyanogenMod support for it post-2.2.
[Fascinate General] BingoDanny:
ok thanks guys.
[Fascinate General] jorge3687:
I already checked the display settings and my screen is not rotating, how can I fix this?
[Fascinate General] Mu9enx:
I don't know the answer, but this question seems more suited for the general forum. Threads like these clutter important development threads and should be kept away so this subforum status clean.

On another note, is your phone rooted? If so, what roms or kernels are loaded? That might help people who know more.

Why does Sony insist on giving us Moxier Mail? I actually use it and like it but even the recent 2.1 firmware only includes Moxier 2.1. The current version is 2.8.

Sorry to go (a bit) offtopic, but we may never see Angry Birds because of a blunder by Microsoft.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/oct/11/microsoft-windows-phone-angry-birds

Basically during the original mockups of the UI when it was first announced, Microsoft decided (for some bizarre reason) to put an angry bird tile in the Marketplace Mockup.

This pissed off Rovio Mobile as they weren't working on a Wp7 version of Angry Birds at the time. Doubt they ever will now tbh.

That really sucks, I've been addicted to Angry Birds, I haw the original droid that I keep just for that game, there is no service I just don't want to sell it until I get sick of the game.

ugh im tired of bricking my vibrant :mad:

so i have obsidian v2 and I installed OCLF 2.2+ and now i'm stuck at the vibrant screen. i only had 3 apps on my SD card and i moved those over to the phone storage.. then i went ahead and did the lagfix... it said it was done successfully and then restarted but now i'm stuck at the vibrant screen :confused:

did i do something wrong?? (obviously i did but what? lol)
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Do you know how to use odin if not you should start reading up on it. To get into download mode open odin, now take your battery out of your phone then put it back in, hold the volume up and down button, now plug in your usb cord that should be plugged into your pc you should see download mode now fix your phone with odin now I let go of your hand;)
[Vibrant General] pablizzo:
I dont think there is a working LagFix for Obs.V2, odin back to stock and start over. This time dont try to lagfix.

[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Download Mode after phone ! PC symbol

odin failed and now i have the phone---!----pc icon.. i've tried all the methods of trying to get into download mode but nothing happens.

i'm pretty sure i don't have the hardware locked version because i got the phone prior to launch

nevermind!

I did the following:

1. take out the battery, sim and microSD

2. put battery in

3. ONLY hold vol down & power

4. plug in the USB and voila...download mode!

every method I read suggested using vol up+vol down.. none of those worked for me
[Vibrant General] i900:
Don't worry..read on

I got the same scary looking screen last weekend too:eek: but be patient!

FIRST: MAKE SURE you have the proper android driver installed in the PC!

SECOND: open control panel>device manager, if you see the T959 or something like android device under USB sub menu then you are good to go.

Then continue repeating what you had done: keep vol up&down after battery in, USB cable in, download screen on, release vols, either open Odin app before or after.

LAST: BE BRAVE! I almost gave up after going to three different local stores and none knew what to do:p

That's only for Satio series.

I tried a 3.5mm to composite RCA cable but no dice.

Ultimately the best option would be HDMI to microUSB like a few other phones have.

I wonder how hard it would be for someone to add support for that... I guess it depends on whether it is a hardware or software limitation... I'm tempted to start a thread about it!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayman1986:
It's software limitation, there cannot really be a hardware limitation in the phone itself, all we need is a compatible microusb connecting lead, but there is no feature in the x10 software that allows video-out.

Maybe a third-party app?

Everything you need to know is right here.

With the latest MIUI updates (11.19 and 11.26), applying a theme is dead simple and "cross-phone"! Meaning, if you build a theme for the EVO, someone running MIUI on a DroidX can use the exact same zip. Good stuff.

Heh, that "phone" is simply a fake dummy that htc sends to our stores. It is in fact running android, but there is no touch interface, working buttons, or sim/sd slots. From what I was able to tell, they strip everything from the phone besides the display and leave an automated script to run as soon as a power cord is plugged in. Some fool probably stole it from a T-mobile store and didn't realize that it was fake until he was in the clear.

I'm curious, where did you see the listing for this "phone"? xD

After a few days I found that my videos were "duplicated" At first there were two and then more and more. Everytime I scan media, more pops up.

Don't really know why this happens, but I don't really use Gallery in the first place so it doesn't bother me as much since all my vids are in 1 directory and pictures in another.

No problems with picture thumbnails, just vid thumbnails.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
The file you are making shouldn't be .nomedia.txt , Its .nomedia (without the .txt) Also I recommend you use Mvideoplayer to view videos as its awsome. If you are gutsy you could delete the /mnt/sd_card/.gallerycache folder.

To make that .nomedia file just make a blank file using notepad but when saving select ALL FILES in the option that says "Save file as"
