[Captivate General] zoubidou:
well it sounds that you have messed it up. your installation is probably wrong somewhere, in fact i am even sure, but i dont want to hurt anybody.

do a clean install from scratch starting everything with ODIN (ie download mode)

first off all load a ancien but correct kernel, because in fact you don't even know what you lagfix is. load one of the zenkins kernels (ya-ok) no matter one of the recent ones.

start and go back into recovery, and adjust lagfix to ext4 only. not ext4/ext2

don't use not either the integrated voodoo.

it will format everything.

the again into recovery and disable lagfix

that will then reformat everything into rfs, that what it's needed.

then you go again into reboot and flash one of the ancien .tar files like xwjpa.

and then it shoudl startup.

and you can take it from there.
[Captivate General] mikel.canovas:
Please read earlier posts... I cannot get into recovery mode and the computer won't recognize download mode. :confused:
[Captivate General] opcow:
Unless you have a bad USB cable causing all the weirdness with both charging and the PC connection, but that wouldn't explain all the other strange errors. It sounds to me like the phone is terminally ill.
[Captivate General] mikel.canovas:
Doesn't there have to be a way to revert to stock if it's all because of the ROM? I really don't want to just give up and throw away a semi-new Captivate and have to break contract to buy another one.
[Captivate General] opcow:
I've seen no accounts of bad flashes causing problems like you described. Particularly the phone not being detected in download mode and the AC charging funkiness. Besides, you already tried reflashing it and not only did that not help, it revealed all sorts of other symptoms.
[Captivate General] mikel.canovas:
Ok. Thanks. If anyone else has any other ideas. Please post
[Captivate General] mikel.canovas:
I've had the Captivate for around 4 months. Does anyone know if I short out the phone and say it got really hot then shut off, they will exchange it? :p
[Captivate General] opcow:
Or you could just rob a liquor store and use the proceeds to buy a new one.

Hey guys! Literally just got the phone about an hour ago and I'm so pumped! The one problem I have so far is that I got s off with gfree, but I can't get root access... any suggestions"

Also, I know it worked because it says S-off and I am using this phone in israel
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
What have you tried to get root, what was the problem exactly ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durkbeef:
hey! thanks for the reply but I ended up doing it myself... in my haste and excitement I forgot to do the part at the end that says "Lock in root" =/ Now my only issue is crappy data reception in places where my N1 used to get at least 2-3 bars. Now I am managing 1-2 AT BEST. Could it be the rom? I'm running Virtuous 8.0
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Quite a few people have been issues with a custom ROM giving worse reception. You'd be better off posting up in the ROM thread on that (i.e. Virtuous).

So, I lost my original HTC data cable in a hotel. Pretty stupid.

I have a HTC car charger cable, this one charges like AC via usb, pretty neat but no data. Also, the fake charger cables I bought, no data.

I really would like to flash the hboot table to the nexus one. Already got my phone to S-OFF some other time, is there any way I could fix this by not using USB?

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorijn:
Update: I found a harddrive cable which is micro usb, this did the trick. However; I am still interested if anyone has a answer :-)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_jt:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S, which I had rooted and had done the lag fix for.

I decided to update the Android OS to 2.2.

So I removed the lag fix, but didn't remove root.

I then tried to officially upgrade via Kies.

The upgrade went through, Kies confirmed completion, and the phone rebooted.

However on reboot the phone gets past the "Samsung Galaxy S" logo and stays on a blank screen, vibrating every 20-30 seconds.

I can restart in recovery and download mode but don't know what the correct steps are to get the phone working again.

If anyone can offer some advice it would be much appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

[Nexus S General] Prfndhatrdofman:
HELP! having multiple issues with Nexus S. Cannot wipe cache partition, and wont mount in recovery either. Also my built in storage is now gone. let me give you guys a quick overview of what happened:

We have a dev version of the nexus s (gingerbread version is not retail) in our office. We were having difficulty factory wiping the device (it would complete but nothing would erase) so someone decided to flash a different leaked rom for the Nexus S. The phone was basically a brick afterward. I managed to flash Clockwork on to the device. This is where I found that the cache partition wouldn't mount. Either would the SDCard (USB storage, whatever). I couldnt erase either partitions, and it also couldnt mount the USB storage (was going to try a nand restore from another thread). The only way i could get mass storage was by partitioning the "SDCard" through recovery. This managed to give me a 1 GB partition that windows would recognize (and would mount through clockwork) It wasnt formatted, so i did a quick format with windows, copied the nand backup and restored it to the device. it now boots, but with a few issues. First no data, second i cannot hard reset through menu, third we're having multiple FCs. FINALLY the worst, is still no USB storage. Wont mount USB storage at all. Sometimes device memory displays 3.5 TB (WUT!?). Cannot download any apps.

WHEW

Sorry that was really long. Basically, the phone is messed up, and I cannot mount or wipe the Cache partition, the USB Storage is now missing, and the Restored Nand backup is super bugged. Any ideas?
[Nexus S General] Prfndhatrdofman:
As a note

I've also deleted the cache partition and re-created through parted. still wont mount cache OR USB Storage
[Nexus S General] awryter:
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm having this problem too. I want to install CM7, but I don't want to risk formatting the /system and /data partitions if the /cache partition refuses to format. You seem like you're having the same problem as I am having and I wonder whether this is done on purpose from Samsung to disable custom ROM flashing. (I got mine straight from Samsung too).

Has anyone solved this?
[Nexus S General] SpOuK-3-:
looks like I have this issue also ... looks like memory is corrupt ... I can't save any files when mounting the usb device ... When I disconnect, all the files disapear ... any ideas ?
[Nexus S General] suboxide:
have the same problem but i can't boot in android either it just hangs at google logo and if i boot in recovery i get this error (didn't flash any roms yet it happend after i flashed clockworkmode
[Nexus S General] suboxide:
i was able to boot andriod again with odin but clockwork still gives the cache error so i still can't flash anything else on it
[Nexus S General] menov321:
Am still learning....but just a few quick questions....adb is still working?.....and computer makes connection sound when phone plugged in? Have you tried reinstalling drivers the flashing recovery and then nandroid.......for some reason when i had a simiilar problem....my phone would not flash any rom but only do restore for nandroid....

also can you access the usb storage at all? You say it dissappears after ?
[Nexus S General] suboxide:
well i was able to put my device in download mode and install a rom with odin and i can boot again, but after that i reinstalled clockworkmod and again it's giving me the cache error. i can't install/backup/restore/.... anything in clockworkmod i keep getting cash error.

ps. it's a new i9023 device running 2.3.3 stock
[Nexus S General] menov321:
can you tell me what it says on your bootloader screen when you boot into it( assuming that you can)
[Nexus S General] suboxide:
fastboot mode

product name - hearing

hw version - rev 52

bootloaderversion - i9020xxka3

baseband version - i9020xxkb3

carrier info - eur

serial number - ... (if you need it pm)

lock state - unlocked

...
[Nexus S General] menov321:
So whilst in bootloader you can flash recovery.img (I have the file if you need it)

eg...fastboot flash recovery recovery.img......

then can you access newly flashed recovery and maybe then restore.....I still dont know if you can access usb storage on the device
[Nexus S General] suboxide:
well yes i can access usb storge in clockworkmod (it's one off the only things that works in clockworkmod :) ) and if the recovery you have also is clockworkmod then it won't do much difference clockworkmod doesn't seem to find my cash or anything

btw i just saw there are 2 threads with almost the same around and looks like i posted in both don't know why but was pretty late last night when i posted seems the problem i have is the one in this topic (still no solution tough): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12204800#post12204800
[Nexus S General] menov321:
Yeah so have you tried a nandroid restore then....Not a new rom installation!......a nandroid restore which was either a stock restore or a rooted rom in which cache was accessible....sorry if you have just want to check the obvious first.
[Nexus S General] menov321:
have you tried flashing an older recovery of clockwork mod?

If you have then probably is just a new nexus S issue which needs a workaround?
[Nexus S General] suboxide:
oh yes tried nandroid restore first (got cache error during that aswel if i rember corectly, atleast didn't work)

only thing that worked was using odin from: http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/6263048-nexus-s-roms-now-online-

after that i was able to boot the phone again and i did another clockworkmod recovery and got the same error that's shown in first post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12204800#post12204800

atleast i can access android now, i think there is maybe something different between the new phones in europe since some other ppl that bought their phone recently are having the same problem and it's only since this week you can buy them (well in belgium atleast, don't know about other country's)
[Nexus S General] suboxide:
i can try if you know where to find an older clockwork mod, i seem only to find "recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img"
[Nexus S General] menov321:
try this one I think it s a previous version ....worked for me

...but then i have older nexus s.....
[Nexus S General] suboxide:
same error:

Hmm ok ....well im stumped as well.....sorry i couldn't be of any more help...:(

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmw407:
I have a question on the battery drain of this phone. Here's the situation:

I usually have 0 bars at home (total dead zone) and use wifi exclusively. At work, I have no wifi connection but full HSPA.

When I have wifi on at work, it seems like my battery drains SLOWER than if wifi is off. Case in point, every day I unplug the phone at 7am, fully charged. If wifi is on, at 3pm I get down to about 60%, but if wifi is off, at 3pm, I get down to around 30%. Usage is the same in both situation. A few youtube videos, a few IMs, a few text messages, reading a book for an hour at lunchtime, etc. That sort of thing.

I thought having wifi on all the time is a battery drain. So why is the battery drain much slower when wifi is on than when it is off? And spin off on that, will it do the same when bluetooth is on vs. off?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
I have found [in my case only] that Wi-Fi does not drain my battery near as much as Bluetooth. I leave my Wi-Fi on all the time and my battery is usually fine for 36 hours. If I use BT, my battery drains at a much higher rate.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjs81:
Do you use wi-fi calling at work as well? With the cellular radio completely off, and a strong wifi signal, the battery drain might be less than a weak cellular signal.

I've also noticed that having wifi on doesn't drain the battery nearly as much as anticipated.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmw407:
I don't use wifi calling at work since I don't get any wifi signal whatsoever. At home wifi calling is on. It's the only way I can make a call.

At work I have full HSPA speeds but the battery drain is ridiculous when wifi is turned off. I'm just curious as to why having wifi on would cause the drainage to be slower... not that I'm complaining.... it just seems counter-intuitive from what is supposed to be the norm.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
I have Wi-Fi on almost 100% of the time and never turn off my cell antenna. I have great signal at home and at work. But I have tested the signal on nearby hotspots/wireless networks with low signal and it doesn't affect my battery anymore than when at home.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $pitacular1:
36 hours??

wth
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmw407:
he underclocks heavily plus custom rom. I usually get 12-15 hrs with the wifi on but only 7-8 with the wifi off.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjones1983:
Ok, so after running the latest version of unrEVOked on my CDMA (U.S. Cellular) Desire, everything seemed to work smoothly, unrEVOked said "Done" on the PC end, but at the end, on my handset I get this error...

Verifying system type...

E:unsupported radio version

E:Update failed. Check /sdcard/soff.log

E:Error in /data/local/unrevoked-forever.zip

(Status 42)

Installation aborted

Failure at line 1:

install_zip DATA:local/unrevoked-forever.zip

I thought okay no big deal, it didn't flash Clockwork and stayed S-ON. No big deal... But, problem. It did "attempt" to flash Clockwork, so now my recovery image is indeed Clockwork but it's a completely non-functional version of it, leaving me with literally no recovery at all, which is obviously a problem. I've searched high and low through these and about 5 other forums and I've seen a few other people that had the same error occur, but never anybody that found a solution or anybody that mentioned that they literally did not have a functioning recovery system, even the stock recover. So, again... HALP! I'm by no means an expert but have had and flashed Android devices for around a year now and this one has me puzzled.

Oh, and before anyone asks. HBOOT version 0.98, Radio/baseband of 2.05.10.08.11

When I reboot into recovery, it shows the Clockworkmod Recovery UI that I'm used to (actually prefer Amon's but... nevermind) but any time I select anything within the Clockwork UI it just goes to a blank black screen. A battery pull is required to reboot and then it's back to normal. Oh, and I do actually have root within Android itself. Sorry for the long winded post but this one's driving me nuts. Thanks for any help guys.

Edit: And the Soff.log basically just repeats what I mentioned above, @PID: 88, "BRAVO_C" Got radio version: 2.05.10.08.11 E:Unsupported radio version, update failed.

Is it simply that unrEVOked doesn't support this particular CDMA Desire yet?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
Hmm, I PM'd you but I noticed something else. When you are trying to select a menu option on Clockwork, are you pressing power? That will give you that black screen. You should be using the optical trackpad button to select.

I am indeed using power, I came from the EVO. If it's something that silly I'm going to feel like a moron. Let me give it a shot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjones1983:
Well if that wasn't the most noobish mistake I've ever made, I'm not sure what is. I assume it wouldn't hurt to try and flash unrevoked-forever.zip though recovery now to try and obtain S-OFF?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjones1983:

[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Which ROM did you flash? Sounds like you flashed one of those EU ROMs that lacks 850MHz support. If this is the case, you will have to re-flash to a ROM that has the proper AT&T 3G support.

[Captivate General] rastanthology:
Have you checked under settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, apn; that you have at&t network settings? Also check if there is an option to disable data on the rom you installed and that it is not disabled
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
That's the leaked AT&T ROM. IIRC, first time you fire up the ROM, you will be prompt to chose a data connection mode. You may accidentally chose wi-fi only mode. You will need to got to Settings to turn on cellular data connection or press and hold power button and select to turn on cell data connection.
[Captivate General] patillo5:
You are right it is the leak version. I use the 3G data connection the first 4 or 5 days I had the ROM. Yesterday it stop working all of a sudden.

[Captivate General] rastanthology:
Download Odin3 one-click, connect the phone on Download mode and hit Start. Wait a few minutes and you are back on stock

I just moved from an iPhone 4 to a HTC Mozart and so far am loving everything about the phone bar a few little problems. The main one being Bing Maps doesnt do anything useful. Example being yesterday I was in the city and was going to post a few things for Xmas at the post office, on my iphone I would have loaded up google maps and typed in "Post Office" and it would have shown me all the post offices around me and I could then make my way there. Bing Maps on the other hand when I typed in the same thing takes me to a park in "IL" somewhere in the USA. SO i typed in "Post Offcies in Sydney" and this just brought up an error. The Bing Maps is useless and I tried to find a lot of things and it always finds something useless for me in the USA or shows an error.

Anyone outside the USA got this app to work successfully or even remotely relevant to where you are???

I'm with you, its just a bit ****. I used to have an Xperia x10 which had Google maps and my tracks, I often used it to navigate through forestry tracks in Wales but they aren't on Bing Maps at all!
