Hello! After I tried this method, I have the charm that constantly reboots and shows only the letter "M". nothing I can do . the RDS does not see the phone. how return the phone back to life?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bats_22:
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I tried the steps as you said but when I get to the point of copying the files from the sdcard to the motorola directory I get an error message from the command prompt saying:

usage: cp [-Rfhip] src target;

cp [-Rfhip] src1 ... srcN directory

Can you please tell me if I did something wrong or what to do to correct this issue.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bats_22:
This method bricked my phone also and caused the M (motorola sign) to just be flashing at the boot. What I had to do to correct the issue was Hold the I key and press the power button during phone boot and the phone will booth to the bootloader allowing you to reflash the phone. It wont fix the cell band issue but it would atleast allow you to boot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 2pizzaua:
Thanks man! with your help, I revived my charm and now I can use the phone =)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pereaf:
Yes it works!

Hello ergosteur,

Yes, the procedure works. It doesn't work if you upgrade your phone to

T-Mobile_MB502_03.90.7_1FF_01

Under this version Universal Androot won't work anymore.

I was able to successfully repair a MB502 flashed with the T-Mobile firmware.

To change the text notification, go into the Messaging app, hit Menu-Settings, and then change the ringtone. The same can happen for the Mail, Gmail, and Voicemail apps. You just have to go into that app to change the sound for that app.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
I've searched and read FAQs a lot already. I read the threads that XDA suggested before posting this.

I've been doing a lot of reading and I'm a little fuzzy. Want to root my gf's AT&T Captivate (JH7) and install Froyo for her but still a little unclear on exactly how everything fits together.

From what I've gathered so far I can use the update.zip method to install Clockwork Recovery and make a nandroid backup of her current configuration without even rooting it, right?

Then can I just flash whichever ROM I want? Will the ROM.zip update her to the correct modem/kernel at that time?

About using ODIN to restore - do I restore to the version she is on NOW or the version the phone originally shipped with, if different? And do I REALLY need to ODIN restore between ROMs or is a full wipe with CWM recovery enough?

Also read that CWM recovery doesn't work with Froyo at this time so can't do nandroid backups of Froyo ROMs?

Somebody catch me up... with my mt3g and mt4g I'm totally comfortable but this stuff is confusing me. I'm fairly comfortable with adb and already used it to sideload an app for her without rooting.

Thanks for your help guys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
I'm pretty new at this too so I'll try to answer what I can.

Before you try anything, just make sure you can get into recovery and download mode.

Recovery:

- Hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Power button.

- from adb type reboot recovery

- from Rom Manager, select the Reboot to Recovery option.

Download

- Hold Vol Up + Vol Down and insert the usb cable. This works for me. Getting Odin to detect it can be a bit tricky. I usually start Odin first, then connect phone.

- from adb type reboot download (I think)

Not sure to be honest. The way I do it is that I install Rom Manager from the market first. It will ask you for root though. I like this way better as you can download and install the appropriate update.zip from the app. Rooting is very very easy. You can use this tool:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739304

To be safe, I only try ROMs that I find in the Captivate Development sub forum. Most of them can be installed with CWM. Place the *.zip in the root of your internal SD card, reboot into CWM and select the install .zip from card option. Don't freak out.

There is also a way to flash roms from Odin but I've never tried it to be honest.

I believe it will restore to Samsung's stock version (I897UCJF6). Check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Remember that this is only for the Captivate. It is safer to do a full restore whenever you are trying a new rom. The only exception, I think, is when you are upgrading versions (say, Darky's 7.8 to 8.0)

I always install it using ROM manager and it works fine.

Now, from what I've been reading and doing this week, I learned that apart from the ROM, you can also flash the kernel and model separately, in case you have specific needs. For instance, I flashed glitterball's kernel to overclock the phone. Just remember that 2.1 Roms need 2.1 kernels and modems, the same applies for 2.2. Here is a list of modems: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835272

I'm currently trying out the TLJL3.

Remember that there are many ways to get to Rome. Also, use Titanium Backup to save your apps.

tl;dr:

1. Root.

2. Install CWM.

3. Verify that you can access recovery and download mode.

4. Download ROM (CWM .zip installable).

5. Read read read.

LOADING CUSTOM ROMs

Hmm... Most of your answers can be found in

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364

The ROM file would contain a kernel and a modem that will update her current kernel and modem. She can flash the kernel and modem of her choice after installing a custom ROM without breaking anything.

For Backing up use Titanium Backup, u need to ROOT your phone using directions in the earlier link provided.

When using custom ROMs it is always better to do a full wipe and flash to stock and master clear, i.e JF6 (using Odin one-click, or Odin with 3-button) or JH7 using the DG version.

You can follow

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36

Update.zip file once installed would load CWM from which you can install custom ROMs. Once you install custom ROMs, they are always rooted, and you needn't root again. It's a one time thing.

Hope this resolves everything.. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Thanks for your replies, guys, I'm actually very familiar with rooting and flashing. To clarify, I already know HOW to install a custom ROM, that's not the issue. I'm more concerned about compatibility once I start installing custom stuff, and about UNROOTING if I need to. It sounds like if all I'm doing is installing a custom recovery and then a custom ROM, I don't really need to worry about it.

I always opt for manual method through recovery as opposed to Rom Manager.

I would use SuperOneClick for the stock ROM as I've used it before without issues. Most likely I would use the update.zip method to install clockwork recovery so I can make a nandroid backup of her completely unrooted stock setup before proceeding.

I can get into stock recovery just fine but haven't tried download mode yet.

And yes I would ONLY flash ROMs for the Captivate specifically, unless someone manages to complete a port for Sense. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Sounds like your good to go then. :)

... and Odin is just the cheap and easy method to return the phone back to stock.

So if you ever need to give it back and need it restored this is the easiest method to do it. But I would suggest formatting the internal SD Card to make sure there are no remnants of you playing around with the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Agreed, will definitely do that.

I also heard that when using ODIN to restore to JF6 the OTA update to JH7 won't come back on its own?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
lol yea.. but it doesn't matter unless you were wanting to keep it on "stock".

If your flashing or returning the phone your ok with keeping it on JF6.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
If your phone came with JH7 and you have issues with Odin one-click, you might want to look at this guide, it has worked great for me and many others:

How do I know what build number her phone is? I see references to build number 1010, but I don't know if this phone CAME WITH jh7 or if that was an update. I bought it used. If I try to restore to JF6 will that brick it??

EDIT - found it. She's a 1007. So if I used ODIN-3 to restore to JF6, how do I get back to JH7? Reading elsewhere it seems that a nandroid restore won't include the baseband?

Download the Mini Kies from here Download Center for SEG-I897ZKAATT.

Make sure the phone asks for USB on connection and select Kies mode when you plug into pc. Then open Mini Kies, it should recognize your phone and tell you an update is available. Follow the instructions from there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Ok cool, thanks for your help! Already downloaded Kies from the Samsung website.

[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
My power button has been going out the past few months, sometimes taking up to 5 times to turn it on. I'm guessing it will probably die soon enough. It probably would have died long before now if it weren't for me using trackball wake from CyanogenMod (but I still use the power button every so often such as when my hands are closer to the power button than the trackball).

Anyway, I called HTC recently and I'm going to do a swap. My warranty ends in just a few days, so I thought I'd get it fixed before then.

For those of us who bought the Nexus last January, the warranty is about to expire. Anyone else doing any service this week (or month) before it expires?
[Nexus One General] bluezz:
Motivated by you, I called HTC too about my power button issues. They told me swap option is not available to me (no idea why).

Since I have a few scratches on my screen too, I was looking forward to the swap option :(

My phone is unlocked so I did not request a repair on power button yet (I have 2 more months in warranty). I might wait and watch if the problem gets any worse.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
They actually told me I was out of warranty (no idea why since I bought my phone mid-January). So he said he would put a note on it explaining that it has been less than 1 year so there's no reason why I'd be out of warranty.

Maybe call back and get someone else. If you bought it less than 1 year ago, the swap should be available. Or ask why they're saying it's not an option.
[Nexus One General] bluezz:
Aaah, thanks for that info. I called again and the reason they gave me that replacement is not possible because Canada charges HTC custom tax on the shipped phone which is why they are only doing replacement for Canadian phones.

However, he said that if I have a US address (which I do) then they can ship a replacement device to that address. Now I'm contemplating if I should go forward with this.

The two things that worry me are:

1) I have some scratches on my screen which are not covered under warranty

and

2) My bootloader is unlocked

Will these 2 things cause my phone to be out of warranty causing HTC to charge $500 on my credit card for the replacement device they send me?
[Nexus One General] imarkstr78:
Swap is not available to him 'cuz he lives in Canada (like me :D).

I did a swap by using a friends address. HTC reps didn't care, and were actually the ones who suggested it to me. So if you can, have it sent to a friend/family member in the US and go pick it up from them if possible. At worst they'll have to ship it to you, but you'll also have to ship your phone to them so they can ship it back to HTC to complete the swap. HTC will only send you a shipping label good for within the US if doing the swap.
[Nexus One General] jimbobalu:
Is there really a hardware issue with the power button? I ask because I do sometimes have trouble getting my N1 to acknowledge a power button press and wake up but have never had a problem when I push the power button to put the phone to sleep. Wouldn't it have a problem both turning on and off? Whenever I have the problem it seems like the phone is busy, usually something to do with the radio switching between WiFi and cellular. Or do I have a different problem?
[Nexus One General] crachel:
I'd guess swap isn't available for AT&T N1's
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Ah, that makes sense. I didn't realize you were in Canada.

I didn't say anything about my unlocked bootloader :cool: Many people have posted and said HTC swapped their unlocked device without issue, so /shrug. Maybe they ding me, maybe they don't.

Yeah, power button failure seems to be a common issue. Supposedly there is a little plastic piece in there that gets worn out.

You're right; I've only noticed the power button failure when attempting to turn ON the phone... Hmm.. Could be the way the contacts inside are wired, who knows?
[Nexus One General] pwig:
Why?

They were sold from March until around late summer. The warranty is a year long either way.
[Nexus One General] fubaya:
I'll be in the same boat in a couple of months. I got the ATT version the first week it was sold and my power button is completely gone out for the second time. The first time, I sent it in with Cyanogen installed and they didn't care. I opted for repair, but the repair is to swap motherboards so, if the phone isn't scratched up, there's not much difference between repair and replace.

I was going to swap after Christmas but I've been using trackball wake and Invisible Lock Widget for about a month and don't miss the power button anymore. But I'll still probably get it fixed before the warranty is out, no reason not to.
[Nexus One General] crachel:
right, but they quit selling the AT&T version after they shut the online store down. you could only get the TMobile from the Google Dev store, so I assume that HTC isn't sitting on a surplus of devices to swap.. just a guess, but I bet AT&T devices get repaired, not a new IMEI
[Nexus One General] bluezz:
Since my phone IS scratched up will HTC charge me for the replacement (scratches not covered in warranty) :( ?

Maybe they have some stocked up because after giving them my IMEI (which is that of the AT&T model), he said if I have an address in US then I can get my phone swapped (new IMEI).
[Nexus One General] pwig:
It was a few months ago but I got two swaps of my AT&T phone. The first one had a goofy screen.
[Nexus One General] fubaya:
I don't know, I just know what they said and did in my own repair experience. I asked if swapping meant I would get a new one or a refurbished one and they said it would most likely be refurbished because they rarely had new ones. This was months ago. Also, with a repair where they switch the motherboard, I think you actually get a new IMEI. Mine had a new IMEI anyway. I thought they switched phones until I read that the fix for a bad power button was to swap the motherboard, so I assume the IMEI is in it.
[Nexus One General] fistertondeluxe:
I had several scratches on my screen, an unlocked bootloader and chunks missing from the bottom and top of the phone where it was dropped. I did the swap option and I wasn't charged. As long as the screen scratches don't look worse than normal wear and tear I would think you would be fine.
[Nexus One General] arminsoyka:
My warranty wont be out for another year and a half I think, since Im in Austria, and European laws are some kind different. Anyway. My powerbutton hardly works and I would be very interested in anyone having experience with european htc. do they swap? do they charge? also could I send my phone to the us (friends) and get a replacement by the us htc since they seem kinda "nice". Im really not sure what to do. I get along with the lock screen widget and trackball wake but well a new phone doesnt sound bad either... so anyone knows anything about sending phones to the us from europe or replacing / repairing in the uk?
[Nexus One General] darkninja157:
I was going to start a new thread about my experience with HTC customer service in regards to warranty but I suppose this will do just as good in here.

If you don't want to read my story a summary is at the bottom :p .

First I'll start of with my phone and the issues.

I bought my Nexus One AT&T version around June of 2010. Rooted it with without unlocking bootloader, ran a few different roms, then one day BAM vibration stopped working, but after a few screen on-offs or tapping my phone in my hand it would come back. After countless attempts to fix the issue such as master clears, flash back to original shipping, and finally in a last ditch effort UNLOCKED the bootloader so I had unrestricted access to rectify the problem. Nothing worked and finally had to accept the fact the little vibration motor had quit on me.

I called up HTC in December about the week before christmas and told them the problem which they agreed was a hardware issue. Not once did they ask if my bootloader was unlocked nor did I offer up that information. They offered me the two options of either a swap or send in my unit for repair. I choose the swap option for fear that they would get my phone, run tests, and not reproduce the issue since it was intermittent for me. Here is the scary part to do the swap they needed a hold on my credit card for $528.00 :eek: , risky to say the least since my bootloader was unlocked but seeing as it was hardware failure I was willing to risk it and hope the charge would drop off once they received the phone. In preparation to send my phone back I flashed back to completely stock removing root.

The next day the phone arrived FedEx :D . First thing I noticed was that my battery cover fit much more snug with no gaps and did not stick out just slightly above the top. Next the power button and volume buttons were much firmer. And of course the vibration was strong as an ox :cool: . Also to note it shipped with 2.2.1 (not D) and had the 5.08 radio, Hboot 35 and the AMOLED screen NOT SLCD. All in all the replacement seemed much better than my original, lol.

Now seeing as christmas was so close I wasn't able to FedEx it back to them (they provided the label) for almost a week. But once I sent it off it was overnighted to them and received without issue. Plus the hold on my credit card was also dropped!

So to sum it up I had an AT&T Nexus one with Bootloader Unlocked, bad vibration motor, got it swapped out under warranty, was not charged a dime, and am now even more of an HTC fan and happy to have a fully functional Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
That is great news. Thanks for posting.

I'm worried now because my power button isn't *totally* dead but the email they sent has the issue listed as "defective power button". So I hope they don't just press it once, see that it works, and call me a liar. I did tell the rep I spoke to that it was intermittent. Anyway, I hope my case works out like yours.
