[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indyphotog13:
Hello everyone, long time reader, first time poster.

I have a rooted, AT&T bloatware-removed, Captivate running Launcher Pro and Android 2.1.

The other day, for no apparent reason my phone restarted in my hands. I had just clicked browser and it began to load the page and just restarted. It continued in a reboot loop.

When I had time to look at it more in depth, it seemed to begin the reboot when doing a media scan. So, I removed the SD card thinking that maybe it was faulty. No dice. Reboot loop continued.

Next, with the SD card still removed, I pulled the SIM, and the phone worked flawlessly...obviously I couldn't make calls or use data, but it didn't reboot. Actually, it seemed to be much snappier.

When I got home, the WiFi worked great with the SIM removed. So, I left it out for the evening. In the morning, I reinstalled the SIM and everything seems to be fine again...no more reboot loop.

So, my question...can a faulty SIM card, or faulty connection to the SIM card, be a reason for a reboot loop?

[Nook Color General] takef0cusin:
Hello,

My Nook is completely rooted. I wanted to start from a clean slate. During the wiping and upgrading to 1.0.1 I was prompted to go through the setup which it did. The root happened successfully, however when I look at the device info ==> About your Nook it is currently showing the "Owner" as unavailable. I tried the erase and degregister my nook but it comes up with an error Deregister device failed with error: User Not registered (e_not_registered) Reset device was not attempted. Also, I'm unable to ADB into my nook after I flashed the update for some reason. Any idea would be appreciated, thanks. :confused:
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
The three finger data reset will take you back to the Register screen. Just be very sure you are using the correct login info.
[Nook Color General] takef0cusin:
Which three keys are used, or are you referring to rebooting it 8 times? thanks!
[Nook Color General] jli2468:
I was having similar issue as well getting the E_NOT_REGISTERED error. That was the result of trying to upgrade the NookColor firmware to 1.0.1 without deregister the unit first.

The problem was eventually solved after poking around the "NookColor Tools" after rooting. Select that NookColor Tools, then select "Development", then "Deregister & Erase Device". Try one of the option to see which one works for you. The Deregister Only option doesn't work for me, but Master Clear Only worked and after reboot it let me register again and this time I got access back to the Nook Shop.

However it seems there is something wrong with the root as I can't connect to Gmail anymore. Perhaps I need to properly deregister it again before I do any upgrade....

Hope this help.
[Nook Color General] slvdc1:
I too have been having trouble registering my NC to my bn account since i unboxed it. I tried using the method above and ran master reset now my NC won't boot any more...

It seems completely unresponsive :/ Ideas?

EDIT: Removed SD card and it booted up. Cant get past the LogicPD Screen, going to try select "quick setup" this time...

Boots ok, though still getting deregister device failed message :-(

So I selected the other option at boot and got the normal setup screen YAY! when through and selected my wifi etc and hit continue with setup only to be greeted by the familiar error "sorry we're having trouble setting up your nookcolor. Please shutdown the device and try again. it says "BAD1221" at the bottom in grey letters....error code?

So frustrating
[Droid 2 General] atraitees:
I used the windows one click root method and I have root, however my droid 2 will not boot to CW recovery from ROM Manager.

I have scanned and did not see an answer..

Thanks for all of your hard work!
[Droid 2 General] hexon:
You need to download bootstrap recovery to boot into recovery
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
The D2 has a locked bootloader (thanks efuse) which prevents us from installing a custom recover. The bootstrap recovery is the only way to get to clockwork (I don't really know how it works cause im not a dev, but it does so thats all i need! lol).

So, as stated above, just download the bootstrap recovery, install and run it, hit bootstrap recovery (will be prompted to give superuser) and wait till it says success (should just be a few seconds), then hit reboot recovery and flash away!

Note* I believe you only have to hit bootstrap recovery once, then you can just hit reboot recovery when you need to flash. (I think after you flash a new rom you will have to hit bootstrap recovery again though but i could be wrong on that)
[Droid 2 General] atraitees:
Thanks. Bootstrap worked great. Quick question though, how do you do custom ROMs?
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Download the rom you want and put it on the sd card.

1: Boot into recovery via bootstrap.

2: Do a backup.

3: Now, go to the mount option and be sure data and cache are mounted.

4: Now wipe data and cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik and battery stats.

5: Go back and make sure everything is still mounted.

6: Go back to main menu and select install from sd card.

7. Select choose zip from sd card

8. Scroll down till you see your rom and select it then select yes. and wait for it to complete.

9. Reboot the phone and enjoy your new rom. (Booting the phone for the first time after flashing a new rom can take a few minutes so be patient.)

[Droid 2 General] cydetrakd:
is there still anyone working on cracking the bootloader on the droid2.. droidx and milestones?
[Droid 2 General] Spitemare:
Cracking the bootloader seems unlikely. Unless a leak happens it's highly unlikely that a brute force method with crack it (order of magnitude is in years beyond the life of the universe).

aliasxerog is working on instead hijacking the boot process with a custom init that will hot swap a new kernel. In theory this should work just fine since the bootloader can load any kernel it wants and then hands off the rest of the boot process to init. What happens from there is out of Motorola's (and eFuse's) hands.

I gave samsung another chance after they ****ed on Behold2(i love that phone still).Still hope someone will port 2.1 to Behold2 so we can sue samsung.

I would probably get htc phone if it wasnt for samsung having monopoly on amoled screens and its a deal breaker for me if a phone is not amoled I dont care if it has 2core cpu and tegra2 if it dont have amoled screen then im not geting it.

But samsung in my opinion does make some solid hardware and from my expirience is better than htc in hardware department but people say otherwise,and htc has snapier software myslide3gs ui was smoother than epic's with 600cpu and 512 ram.
