Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to root my phone and now I have the superuser application.

What I was missing is the USB driver for ADB. I had the phone's USB drivers installed and I thought that was all that is required.

Now, when trying to unlock, this is the error I am seeing in SuperOneClick:

-----------------------------------

OK

[Captivate General] mcord11758:
The unlock code gets deleted or changed when you go to ji6. If you want to unlock you will have to go back to stock, backup the correct files that hold the unlock code, then go back to ji6 and copy the files over. I believe if you search the development forum for the captivate there should be threads on this
[Captivate General] totaltalli:
I guess that is what has happened. Well, I bought the phone from someone on craigslist and found it to be on JI6.

I tried the SGS Unlock application and even that says 'No codes found'.

I then fetched the bml3(.bak) file and opened it in hex editor. It has 'FFFFFFFF' where it should be having my unlock code.

What exactly is "you will have to go back to stock"? I am sorry. I am new to this.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
You would use this

Before you try turn of phone remove bat. There is a batch number to your phone 108 or lower good to go higher different method likely needed.

Ji6 is a leaked froyo. Stock is jf6. Hope this helps. When you flag flash stock you should regain your unlock code

[Captivate General] totaltalli:
Thanks for the link and the explanaiton. I will go through the instructions and update here. Thanks again :)
[Captivate General] totaltalli:
This worked like a charm! So now, my phone is on I897UCJF6.

I happened to download Odin for 2.1 though. So I am on ECLAIR and having experienced FROYO, I am wanting to go to 2.2 stock version. Is there an Odin one-click downloader for 2.2?

Also, how easy/difficult is it to root and unlock 2.2 vs 2.3? If it is the same, I would be better off with 2.3 :)

Thanks for the guidance.
[Captivate General] totaltalli:
My eventual aim is to unlock my captivate - be it 2.1 or 2.2 or even 2.3.

After using Odin for both 2.1 and 2.2, in each case, I was able to root it using SuperOneClick_ShortFuse. However, in none of the cases, I was able to unlock my phone.

SuperOneClick gave me *'FFFFFFFF' - Failed* in either case when I tried to unlock it.

I am sitting with a PDA which I am DYING to start using as a phone.

PS: I had bought my phone from a user on craigslist in US and I had got it without the sim card. Does this have something to do with the lack of sim card?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbozzo09:
so i just put on the leaked THROUGH ODIN froyo onto my captivate, and i thought yeah its nice but its not as snappy as the other roms

so i put my phone into download mode and get ready to flash it back to stock so i can put on cog or assonace or w.e. i choose

but now my computer (Windows 7 32) won't recognize the phone in download mode anymore! its retarded i don't understanddddddd

first it works now it doesn't. it used to recognize it but now USB DEVICE IS NOT RECOGNIZED or whatever bull**** it spits out...ive uninstalled and installed and restarted and registry cleaned my computer a billion times...

anyone else?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topiratiko:
You can try reloading your drivers. sometimes it helps. Or a different usb port. BEFORE you flash back.....you can swap the kernel from dg's cognition 2.3b8 into your phone.....works WONDERS for general snapiness...BUT...the 2.2 leak renders your bluetooth pretty useless......havent tried it since the kernel swap.....anyone know if the kernel swap effects bluetooth? Anyway...entertain the thought :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbozzo09:
i kno u can change the kernel but i really want to get the bloatware off and voodoo and everything and have a quadrant of OVER 9000!!! lol

but seroiusly wtf samsung...whats going on
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topiratiko:
I gave up on samsung updates about 3 days after I got my phone. I see a lot of complaining about the bloatware....i personally dont see the big deal....its 5 or so apps and you can just leave them buried in the app folder and install the things you actually use on your home screens...just my 2 cents. BTW voodoo DOES come with the kernel swap...and its awesome!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbozzo09:
okay i got the computer to recognize the phone

now odin is being gay...just one thing after another LOL

but anyways...

this is how its going down...

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/005> sbl.bin

and thats where it gets stuck...its not moving past that
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
That could be a problem. If it does not move your only choice will be to pull batery and start again. You are stuck on the secondary boot loader.

Good luck
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbozzo09:
lol yes it is a problem haha

ideas anyone?

ive tried a few different ODINS and the same thing happens it just gets stuck...

should i clear anything like wipe before flashing to a stock?

do i just press master reset before i flash to stock?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Can you still get into download mode?

Have you tried deleting odin, re download.

I am presuming you have used odin before and this is a new behavior.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbozzo09:
yeah i've used it to every extreme today haha i have a few odins

one to get to stock JH6

one thats a fix for the 3 button combo and stock JH6 (where you have to manually load the pda and pit

and the one that flashed me to the leaked 2.2

the only one that works it the leaked 2.2, but i want to get back to JH6 so i can flash it to the new perception

i don't think redownloading odin will work because i have them all saved in different folders...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I am not sure how to fix your odin problem, but you can swap kernels, then try to flash perception through clockwork.

Just a thought
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbozzo09:
lol i would love to know how to do that...

i kno how to install clockwork and get rooted but i dunno how to swap kernels
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Just a suggestion...try using a different usb cord. We have a number of different cords (half of which are cheap amazon ones mainly used for charging) and I have seen times where changing cords has solved my headache with communication problems (using adb commands) and odin hanging, even though the same cord worked fine the day before.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Are you rooted

sgs kernel flasher app from market

Get app

Download a kernel.

Open app, back up current kernel just in case. Move kernel to file on your sd that the app creates. Open app select choose kernel click flash kernel.

I found my LG LW 825 (Telus) have second camera for video call. But this camera can not work. I looking for software dial. May my LG can do it?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] jjfbman:
I am not sure if this will work, but get a registry editor. In the editor go to HKEYLOCALMACHINE->comm->connMgr->Providers one of the folders there will contain "Connections". Find "Video Sharing" and change enabled from 0 to 1. Try to make a video call after that :)
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] momhandheld:
I think that, if make a video call, on the calling pad, having the function Video call. I need the software to install to replace dial pad present.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] trueg:
Are you sure you have a Telus GW825 and not a HK GW825V? I have the Telus GW825 and I don't have a second (front) camera.

If you flash a GW825V ROM to your phone, you can test the front camera (if you have one). Press the icon (swap camera) at the bottom left of the screen in the GW825V camera application.

As i may know, Telus LG Monaco GW825V, AT&T LG expo GW 820. But GW 820 has not 2 nd camera (front camera).

Let me know the cook room or the mod room for my LG wich running stable?

[Epic 4G General] sweepingzero:
okay now you lost me ha. did you unzip the file and try installing things?
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
Yes I did
[Epic 4G General] sweepingzero:
how did you install? just try running the files in the zip? or what
[Epic 4G General] sweepingzero:
the only way i got it to work was unrared the files into a folder, and plugged in my phone in usb debug mode and went to device manager and manually had each thing search for drivers in the new folder, after i installed one thing another popped up with a ? next to it and did that a few times till everything worked.

sorry im kind of new at this android thing but ive spent entirely too much time on computers :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
Has anyone here purchased one of these cases that were made by HTC for the G2? Just saw a video of this on YouTube and was very intrigued by it solely for how the top shell fits on the case. You can see in the attached photo I make a note of this slight design change, so that when you open up the keyboard the top part (display) fully extends. I bought one of the cheap ones on Amazon and it doesn't have that cut-out. I think I'll try carving that part out myself with my Dremel as I can't full extend my keyboard, but these HTC branded cases look really nice. So far I've only seen them come in a bright blue, red/pink and neon green color. I'd love to see a video on how hard it would be to remove the case from he phone, as that cheap Amazon one is a ***** to take off.

I decided to take the plunge and ordered the black one. The youtube video sold me on it, and even more so that it's made by HTC. Can't wait to get it, and I'll share pics and maybe a video of it.

My case is molded just like in the pic. Bought mine off ebay for $2.87 don't see any difference other than mine is clear smoke. It fully extends as well.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Hot_Hands:
Bought the black one from wirelessground a week back. They shipped pretty quick and free shipping with code freeship. I like the case. Doesn't interfere with the keyboard out, makes it easy to grip, and only adds a little bit of bulk.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
Wish I had known about that free shipping code, but it's only $4 so not like I just threw a chunk of cash down the toilet. :p

I'll do a review of the case once I get it, and like I previously said I'll take photos and hopefully do that review via video on YouTube. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] cwirth7:
I have the black one. It feels smooth, not too heavy, and it opens and closes right just like a charm. Definitely worth it. I don't see myself getting another one!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] The Great NY:
i think im sold on this case. reason is...the keyboard side and screen side both have the cutouts so the phone will lay completely flat when its open. now if they would make a spring clip holster like the one they offer currently, but that fits the phone with the case on it.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] solace.discord:
I bought a few from amazon, but needed to file down the tabs so there wasn't as much of a gap, and so I could remove more easily when necessary.

I bought the red "metallic" HTC case from android central- and put the others away... its perfect, tactile and less bulk than the others. Higher quality, and I didn't need to use a file.

I bought the Clear OEM Case. I love it. No complaints at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
Does that have the trimmed side (top piece on left side) to allow the display to fully open without interfering with the top row of keyboard buttons?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] hogg2500:
It does kind of. Maybe it could of been trimmed alittle but overall I have no problems with it. I'm surprised since I have fat fingers lol. I kind of find it to be a guide for the top row.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nighte:
Yes, it does.

Mind you I didn't buy it from any of the sites suggested here so I'm only speaking from the one I currently have; which is OEM.

and damn those androidcentral they want 60$ to ship it over here to sweden its insane !
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
Are you referring to what the next page says after trying to add the case to your shopping cart? > "Your shopping cart is empty." Send them an email asking if they have it in stock or not (sales@wirelessground.com). Someone else in the thread bought it at AndroidCentral for about $10...

http://store.androidcentral.com/htc-hard-shell-case/4A123A7622.htm

Since I spent about $18 (with shipping) on my case from WirelessGround, getting it for $10 is a damn good deal. This case is well worth the money.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nighte:
Hey, I was skimming through your video and I would like to say theres a very simple way to remove the case.

Notice how you got the left side out first by pushing on the volume rocker and the miniusb port area? Just continue to push that part away from the phone and the backing should pop right off, easy peasy.

The one that always gives me trouble is the one covering the screen, very difficult; every time.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Hot_Hands:
To get the top part off just pry from the camera button area. It should come right off.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] LadFromWales85:
Anyone know anywhere that has these in stock and will ship to the UK for a reasonable cost?

The HTC case has cutouts for all buttons, so its very easy to press all buttons. No diff from it being naked.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pdxgolf:
Do you like the Otterbox commuter case?

I have a G2 coming next week and I'm thinking of picking one up. I'm kinda looking for protection over anything else.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] DMC78:
Yeah if protection is your main concern you will dig the case. It doesn't add THAT much bulk, I just try to keep it as slim as possible. The good thing about the Otterbox is that it has a silicon sheet just under the plastic case for the bottom half. I like how it covers the buttons and makes it very easy to press them. I still may just stick with it, trying to make up my mind
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] windstate:
Any websites selling the original HTC OEM case in the UK? Can't find any myself
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] chobie:
Same. Can't seen to find one with stock and Android Central won't ship to my country.

Any good samaritan wants to buy it for me and ship it via FedEx or something fast? I'll pay via PayPal :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] windstate:
Does the case add much thickness to the size of the phone?

I don't to turn my phone into a big fat brick, it's big enough already.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
No, it does not add much thickness to the phone. It does add a little bit, but not enough to tell me I should leave the phone naked & unprotected.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] carquote:
I posted the below in another thread regarding cases but since it also pertains to this case I'll post it again here:

I recently purchased 2 G2's and am looking for cases for them also. I was looking at the case in the second link and liked how it is supposedly made by HTC. I tried looking on the HTC website for more info and pics of the case but unfortunately couldn't find them on their product website. I called and spoke to a rep at their sales site who was not aware of the case. I also spoke to 2 reps at HTC customer service who couldn't find any info on it either. This has me a bit concerned since I would expect HTC to be selling these cases on their own website if in fact they were made by them, and I would certainly expect them to be aware of their existence (which they were not). Not saying their not genuine, but I am a bit leery now.

On a related note, one of the HTC reps I spoke to mentioned they do not recommend cases or screen protectors as they can cause overheating problems, especially while charging the battery. he said if I was going to use a case I should remove the phone from the case wile charging the battery. With these snap on cases that seem to be a royal pain to take off this doesn't appear to be an option.

Any thoughts or experiences with cases causing overheating? It seems logical that the phone (CPU and/or battery) could over heat since the back panel is so tightly covered. This especially makes since when charging the battery since it does heat the battery up and heat dies negatively effect batteries.

I'm also considering the EPIK TPU case sold by DCMugen on eBay since it seems to be liked by several members of this site and looks to be a lot easier to take off and put back on for daily charging, although the look doesn't seem to be quite as nice as the HTC case. I'm a bit concerned with the HTC case possibly scratching the phone since it seems to be made out of a hard plastic, but the EPIK case is reported to be a pain to use the power button with so I'm not sure which way to go.
