I wish I was joking. I am sorry, but unless you can convince someone to leak a modem.bin for our phone, its a lost cause.

I have no doubt that one day we can fix this but right now we don't have the required resources.
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
Man ...if there is anyone i trust , its you . I cant believe one button has made my phone useless... So nothing that can be found in a system dump or anything? I mean im looking at $400 for a new one . So if there is ANYONE with this thing there would be like $200 in it for them . Really .
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
We haven't been able to dump the radio. The modem.bin exists but no tester is leaking it, likely for fear of their job. That said you have nothing to lose right now so if we can find a CURRENT radio for the Mesmerize it would be worth trying. Both US cellular and cellular south are currently selling it. Ask around and see if you can find something. I will check some websites when I get home but don't expect results.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Also keep in mind Froyo will most likely release with a new radio. If its a full radio file then it will probably fix your phone.
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
Man i wouldnt even know where to begin asking for such a thing. if you point me in a direction i will go .
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
well... i found something ...and i got nothing to loose ,like you said . So time to start flashing...
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
No, not a gsm modem! Don't do it.
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
haha thanks man , i was in a depressed rage there for a second and decided not to flash at the last second. Out of curiosity , are there EVER any modem.bins that leak out , or is this the type of situation where if i happen to get one it would be the first time ever? I mean if i wait is this thing one day going to appear , or is it pretty much just not going to happen .... give it to me straight .. i can take it ...
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Unless someone gets brave, its not gonna happen. Unfortunately our GSM brethren have more balls and hence, leaks.
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
jesus.... well the bounty still stands haha . If you guys find a cdma that MIGHT work let me know . Guess im going to hop on craigslist and buy another. So i suppose if you guys ever need a testing device , im available! haha
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Why can't you call samsung and send it back to have it reflashed?

I don't see a reason why they can't do this for you... i could be wrong and this is just an idea.

Ps this is why you get insurance silly!

Good luck with everything =)
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Check your pms.
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Me ? I have no pm's and if this in regard to my Insurance Statement I wasn't encouraging Fraud of any sort.

You get insurance as soon as you buy a phone incase you break it :)

Unless this is considered fraud lol.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
yes its fraud.

lucas.scott

Check your PMs please.
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Poo, my bad.
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
checked , and responded .

and i had insurance on my DX but forgot to check the box when activating this one online .
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Not to start a fight but how is this fraud if you had insurance from the beginning and you broke it because of misuse?

I have insurance on my car and if i wreck it racing in the canyons my insurance will pay for it. Obviously i was not using the car as intended.

Unless this is somewhere in the contract that rooting also voids insurance as well. Which i could see.

I just would like to know why if someone could explain?
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Huh?

Oh no, you took that out of context. As far as I am concerned, thats what insurance is for. I was just being a smartass ;)
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Ok lol =)
[Fascinate General] Redwing:
I know rooting (modifying) your phone voids warranties. Not sure about the insurance but I'd say there is a fair chance this is true for them as well.

I'd say a better analogy would be...If you blew up your engine after installing after market turbos and NoS. Would your insurance pay for that?
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
well regardless , i didnt have it because im a dummy haha
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
That would be a hardware upgrade to a phone. If i were to tune my car and add after market software then it will void warranty

If the motor caught on fire and torched the entire car because of the crappy tune then yes they would cover it =p
[Fascinate General] andmer:
why don't you take it in in to a verizon store and play dumb.

"I don't know whats happening...its not working...it was working last night then this morning its not...please help." etc...

They'll probably just give you a new one right there.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Lucas, go to irc to the channel #samsung-fascinate. Its is possible that we finally have a solution. No promises. But it can't get worse right?

Why do we care about insurance fraud? I never gave two ****s when it came to taking my iPhone to Apple and I have yet to care if I screwed something up on my new X or on my previous Fascinate. I don't get why there really is no such thing as bricking anymore yet if we as end users don't have the software or system files to fix our mistakes we are supposed to go buy a new phone or file a claim with insurance???? Really???? Samsung could flash that mofo back to perfect in 10 minutes...

Im usually not one to be rebellious and I always hated the people in high school who would drop their phones in the toilet and then complain when their carrier wouldn't replace the phone. In this case though I feel my point has some validity due to the fact that non of the work we all do on our phones is rocket science and it would be way easier to experiement if we had the true ability to restore our phones the way they came to us.

[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
I am on Rogers and I recently got a Captivate I found the wiki site for the roms but I cant figure out which one would be the best one to use. So some insight into them would be great. :)

[Captivate General] peachpuff:
If you want the fastest phone experience look at the i9000 roms with the setiron kernel, that kernel has every feature/tweak you'll ever need.
[Captivate General] Archpope:
It depends a lot on what you mean by "Best." After reading a lot of the threads on different ROMs, I went with Cognition 2.4 because it had the feature set that matched my needs, and had the easiest installation method. It was also the only one I could find that used ClockworkMod exclusively and didn't require Odin. I don't have anything against Odin, but if I have an option to use one program or another exclusively, I'm going to go with that if for no other reason than less can go wrong.

There may be some that are faster, but even under stock, my Captivate was wicked fast. Cognition also seems to have a huge amount of support, more than the others I've seen.
[Captivate General] NunHugger:
I am not sure that you could classify one as being the "best". I have flashed a couple of the Cog builds and am now rocking the Tayutama rom. The Cog seems to be the most popular, but I am getting better function for what I want with the Tayutama. Don't mean I won't flash again, just gonna enjoy this one for a while.

I think any rom is going to vary from phone to phone. Some people have trouble flashing them, others experience gps issues, others have problems with bluetooth. I flash, use my phone normally, and if I run across a problem I look for a fix. I am sure there might be problems with my phone that I will never see (bluetooth for example) as there are probably many features I will never use.

Flash it. Use it. Dump it or keep it. Opinions are great, but it is going to be your experience with the rom that matters.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Basically anything but Cognition.

i9000 ROMs win any day.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
Amen to that! Go doc rom!
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
For me, Cognition v2.2 b6. GPS works, Email and both Email and Browser works when switching between WiFi and 3G, and it's just clean, stable, and very reliable. The keyword is "for me". I do a lot of email, web browsing, SMS, MMS, photos, 720p videos, YouTube, [edit] plus MobileAP with friends who have no, or limited data plans [/edit] etc. Give it a shot if you're able to use it on Rogers.
[Captivate General] s44:
Of the i9000 ROMs, only Raw Steel has fixed haptic on the home button, correct?
[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
Thanks everybody for posting opinions on this. I still havent made a decision yet and I was kinda hoping to hear from somebody on Rogers but nobody came forward...ah well.

By best what I was getting at was pretty much most efficient rom (ie no/little lag) and fast speeds and inproving on the battery life of my phone.

Edit: So looking at some of the posts I can consider using ROMS that arent Rogers specific as well on my phone???
[Captivate General] Archpope:
That part is definitely true. The ROM I'm using is not by any means carrier-specific. I can't speak for Rogers, but AT&T put a lot of crapware on my phone that I'm thankful to be without. I suppose if Rogers puts useful stuff on their phones, you'll need a Rogers-specific ROM, otherwise not. Only caveat I can think of is that it's good if you get a ROM that's Captivate-specific. There will be more internal consistency. For example, the i9000 has a front-facing camera that the Cappy doesn't.
[Captivate General] shadvich:
Are froyo based roms fairly stable? I ask because I'm getting a Captivate for myself and a not-so-tech-literate family member, and I'd rather not have to deal with any additional problems. Should I flash one of the 2.1 based Cognition roms? Or Doc's 2.2 rom? Or something else entirely? Mainly looking for battery life improvements.
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
Cognitions 2.3b4 rom is absolutely incredible. EVERYTHING works! and its very fast. The fact that everything including the GPS works flawlessly is just amazing. I dunno if any other rom has been able to achieve that...
[Captivate General] Stephenv1971:
How's the BT voicedialer working?
[Captivate General] derek4484:
You may want to stick with the stock JH7 rom then. When I had it on my phone, that was the best battery life and best GPS performance I got. Now I'm running Cog 2.2B7 and it runs fine, although battery life is lacking and there is a little bit of lag from time to time, but all in all its solid. I love the fact that it has the mobile AP, which AT&T will be sure to strip out from their version of 2.2 when/if it ever comes out....
[Captivate General] Ethere:
Couldn't disagree more. Cognition 2.3b3 has been a dream come true for my Captivate.
[Captivate General] zeddock:
I have looked over many, Many boards today and am left with an impression that I should be able to go to Cognition 2.3b4 with ODIN, but not a One Touch ODIN.

I DLed Standalone ODIN and went to where the ROM file was downloadable. But when I go on in the process it is obvious I should be seeing a PIT.pit file and others to populate into the different areas of the ODIN interface... I can't find them in the download I have so far.

I have gone looking for these files or a zipped grouping of them, but no luck.

I think I am missing something simple in how this process should go.

Please help?

PS. I opted to NOT go with the ClockWorkMod route as it talks about only doing it if you have a previous version. The last time I did anything to the phone I did the leaked Froyo 2.2 ODIN One Click. That leaves me unsure if I meet the minimum requirements for the ClockWorkMod option. (Plus I don't have root.)

Thanx in advance for the help.

zeddock
[Captivate General] zeddock:
I got this from NorCal Einstein on another thread......

Cognition 2.3 Beta4 IS NOT ODIN FLASHABLE. Unless designgears releases a ODIN version to use with the stand-alone, you are not going to have success trying to use the CWM file with ODIN.

You don't have to flash via CWM while you are on Cognition, that's a mis-understanding. Personally, I flash my phone back to stock (JH6), and then use CWM to flash to Cognition. I don't know what you mean by minimum requirements for CWM option either...you have a Captivate right?...it works right?...you can run ClockWorkMod Recovery on your phone.

Bottom line: At this time, 2.3 Beta4 CANNOT be flashed using ODIN.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
Just can't take it any more! I swore I'd wait until the official Froyo release before starting to flash custom ROMs but this thread has finally broken my resolve. Currently downloading one now and will flash tomorrow. :D

What? Who uses the CWM file with Odin? No wonder it didn't work for you.....
[Droid 2 General] jy3ng4:
I picked up a Droid 2 Global last week and it appears that Verizon has crippled the GSM/UMTS capability of the device by restricting use of the 850/1900 MHz GSM/UMTS bands in the US.

The tech specs from Motorola indicate that the D2G is quadband GSM (850/900/1800/1900) and triband UMTS (850/1900/2100).

...but the User Guide (page 12) and Motorola FAQ page say "DROID2 Global by Motorola switches effortlessly between CDMA, GSM 900, GSM 1800, and UMTS 2100 networks" which would seem to indicate that use of the 850/1900 MHz GSM/UMTS bands has been restricted.

This is supported by the fact that several people on various forums have attempted to use the D2G on AT&T and T-Mobile networks (which use 850/1900) with no success. I'm assuming it is some sort of software restriction, either via a hidden menu setting or because of the Verizon ROM.

Any devs know how we might be able to enable these bands?
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
Try checking this:

- Pull up the dialer

- *#*#4636#*#*

- It will automatically bring up the "testing" menu when you hit the last *.

- Click on phone information and scroll to the bottom.

- The first item that can be changed is a drop down list "Set preferred network type:"

See if there are any options in there that you can change to what you're looking for
[Droid 2 General] silver6054:
The only thing I don't recognize is "SMSC:", which has a text box with an Update and a Refresh button. Not sure what that does.

However, there is also a greyed-out "OEM-specific Info/Settings" button, wonder what might be there!
[Droid 2 General] swangotp:
Verizons not gonna make this easy on us, where really gonna hve to think out of the box on this one. We can just wate for a Droid 2 Global spacific rom and hope that its a software lock.
[Droid 2 General] Horn:
SMSC for my opeartor shows SMS center phone number when you press to refresh.

Obviously, if you set here another phone number and press update it should apply new value to phone.

Well, Im sure someone has already started a thread of this topic somewhere, but I dont have the time to search every thread for it.. Please forgive me since I am a new user to this site. I have recently switched from AT&T using the Iphone 3Gs to Sprint's HTC Evo, and Im really interested in tweaking my device to be able to make it my own super phone(with a longer lasting battery life.. would be very helpful). Obviously, it is a bit more complicated to tweak an HTC device from a blackberry(easy). With the talk of Rooted and unrooted device is a totally different language for me..
