Warning on Odin

Thank you for your hard work on this excellent ROM. You are doing a great job. I also appreciate the detailed instructions at the beginning to help noobs successfully flash a ROM.

There is something that I think could bear some more explanation in the part I quoted above. I think it is very important to explain to people that if they have a 1008-1010 edition of the Captivate that they should never use Odin One Click to flash to stock, it will likely brick their phone. I just spent about five hours on and off the phone helping a friend (to whom I had recommended the Captivate and encouraged to flash Ultimate) to unbrick his phone after using Odin.

Fortunately, we were finally able to get it flashed to Phoenix 2.5, but it was quite a chore. Right after he flashed to Stock using Odin, his buttons would not work to get into recovery or download mode. We tried many variations of button presses and cable inserts with no success. Amazingly his phone would boot into 2.1 even though Odin said there was an error restoring the ROM. This allowed us to enable sideloading and root the phone. Then we were able to use ROM Manager to boot into recovery.

Then we tried flashing from stock to Ultimate with terrible results. It would not load fully, and gave a never ending list of forcecloses so that the phone could not be used at all. Luckily a long press of the power button got us into recovery where we were able to flash Phoenix 1.5, followed by 2.5. A phone that cannot use the buttons to enter download or recovery mode is hard to work with. (I would really like to know how to get this feature back, it seems to be permanently gone.)

I just think it would be good to warn people to make sure they check if their phone is a 1008-1010 model before proceeding to flash with Odin. They may be very sorry. On this note, it is very good that you can flash your ROM without reverting to stock, however, some may do it anyway, thinking it is the safest way. It may be good to warn them.

Also, one of the desirable features of your ROM turned out to be a detriment in our case. I guessed that the reason all the forcecloses came up in Ultimate was that it retained all of the 2.1 apps that could not run in 2.2. I am not sure if this was the problem, but it might be. You may wish to include a wipe version of your ROM along with a no-wipe version. I want to try your ROM, but have not had a chance to get it on my phone.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you again for your hard work and for considering this matter.

I'm having an issue running google voice on this rom. I noticed it wasn't installed by default, so i went ahead and installed it from the market. Every couple hours or so it requires me to set the program up again even though i have done that 4-5 times. Anyone have an idea as what could be causing it?
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I use Google voice on my rom.

I would suggest you to odin to stock and install the rom over.
[Captivate Android Development] gldndragon77:
Hey, I just flashed over to Ultimate coming from Cognition, which I've had for a good while and I gotta say WOW! I'm loving your ROM.

I had a problem with my most recent flash to Cognition which resulted in my phone constantly turning off for no reason. I actually meant to reflash the newest update to cognition but some error in the zip caused it to stick at the ATT logo. I finally managed to flash to stock with ODIN, and found your ROM when looking for something different to try.

1) I love the quick animation transitions

2) I love the transparent notification screen and the glowing blue tab

3) great icon set

4) spare parts app is great!

5) I still have to test GPS

thanks a lot, this is the best ROM I've had, I'll post any issues I run across.
[Captivate Android Development] scottamitchll:
Why can't you make this rom with a better gps because it says locating gps forever,the same dialer no video calling, shutdown and startup sounds please and the stay awake option and color in settings and really fast basically make it like pheonix rising with these options I don't see the problem. That would make you the best rom ever. Why can't we have 2.3 yet its ported. Email me please. Scottamitchll@gmail.com

Sent from my GT-I9000 using ultimate Rom
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
try a different modem.

gps works grate for me.

I did not Mod this rom to please other people. you should read posts people like you are why the cyanogenmod team left xda. I welcome suggestions and will try to incorporate them as my skills allow. if you hate it that much don't use it.

I don't like flaming bastards like you.

You liked it that much huh??
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Wow you sure did give Phoenix a good run...LOL

What was it about that ROM that made you dump it so quick in favor of this?

My issue with Axura was it changed my product coda and I went through hell and back to right everything and make a back up of the EFS file with correct numbers and find a ROM that would not mess with that or the IEMI.

I am curious though what happend on Phoenix that turned you off...and why is this ROM better? Whn I switch out of a ROM it is for good reason for me and I am glad to share why if asked. Its good for those who are thinking about trying a new ROM
[Captivate Android Development] slappyjoker:
Two parter.

1. Unless it transforms into a recliner and pays my bills I am not changing ANYTHING on my cappyccino.

ULTIMATE/SPEED and JK4 has been 110% of my Joy in life.

2. It appears as though its gotta be multi touch browsing OR zoom button. From what I find so far ya can't have both.

Guess I will try replacing the browser apk again. It fc'd the first time I tried.

Nothing against Phoenix, but for whatever reason Ultimate is just kicking ass on my phone. I have tried all posted. For me this ROM has been the best I have tried.
[Captivate Android Development] jasonsymack:
love this ROM

using it for a week now

just a small question though

i can't seem to get 'This day in History App' working

It installs and it says its there and is even a running process but it does not show up in the widgets menu

any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
It works for me
[Captivate Android Development] dicksteele:
Actually 3.0 was the first version I could ever get installed. I've tried since it first came out. It would die during install. File creation error, access denied or something. I installed same way I've installed ever other ROM. Stock, Clear, Root, CWM, Flash

For me this ROM just plain works. It's fast, first ROM I've tried that GPS locked in 5 secs, it's taking all the tweaks I've thrown at it. Theme changes, kernel/modem changes. Nothing I have tried has not worked. I've had this phone for about maybe 45 days. I've flashed it so much I'm amazed the freaking thing works. Especially the usb connector, it's gotta say no mas one of these days.
[Captivate Android Development] scottamitchll:
listen dude lve your rom, its one of the best here. google navigation just says looking for navigation availability forever. love the dialer as well its a great rom thats why its on my phone. just wish i could have color in the settings and my nav working right. everything else works great. keep up the good work man. if it wasnt for people like you we would be screwed. thanks, man.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I am sorry for my rash comments.

But try the k4 or jl2 modems in the op

does it just show up in your widgets menu?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szaidi:
I am a noob to android but I was able to root my Evo via unrevoked 3 and install cm 6.1.2. Everything was perfect. Then I decided to flash a battery tweak and this is where things started going downhill.

Opened battery tweak with Rom Manager. It downloaded and installed ClockworkMod Recovery v.2.5.0.1, even though I already had v3.0.0.2 installed via unrevoked. It said I needed to flash in recovery so after booting into recovery I flashed it and rebooted.

After reboot, the screen was stuck at the white HTC Evo screen. I booted into recovery and tried a nandroid restore (that I had created with ClockworkMod v3.0.0.2) but it failed. Tried to flash cyanogenmod 6.1.2 and got the status 7 error. Tried to flash a stock rooted HTC Rom, but it also failed.

Basically I cannot boot into anything except hboot and recovery. Is there anyway to fix this or am I done for?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
At this point I would run the latest RUU (ROM Update Utility) which will restore your device. It's pretty much a last resort that works in just about all situations. Are you familiar with the process?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szaidi:
Been at this for a couple of hours and I was able to solve it by finding the correct RUU file (based on radio version), renaming it to PC36IMG.zip and placing it into the root of the SD card. Rebooted into hboot and followed prompts and it worked out. Thanks MBeattie!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
Glad you got it working. Welcome to XDA & Android.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syphon0202:
I had this same problem and followed your advice, running RUU worked great, thank you. This happened to me after I installed one of the normal phone updates. I tried pushing an update using adb, but it just kept saying device offline. Anyways, thanks again, happy to have my phone back :)

is there a way to change the default screensaver on the optimus 7 or completely disable it? I'm going crazy over this one - i can't find anything in the settings.
[Optimus 7 General] dsknkt:
Ok, after a little snooping around i found out it's actually a demo phone (hence the annoying promo screensaver) - meaning that it has a demo version of windows phone 7. So I got myself properly ripped.

Have a nice day lads.

You can flash the phone..... there are freshly released Official roms in the developer forum, I flashed mine yesterday night because was with Vodafone Italy but I have Telecom Italia Mobile.... the flash is really simple to do and safe, if you need a detailed procedure I can post it here because the one at this page is kind of bad explained....

Hello all:

I am on my first replacement phone, and am experiencing a recurring problem that I also had on my original phone. At times during the call, the person on the other end will not be able to hear me (a la 'mute'), but I can hear them. I have confirmed that the mute function is not activated (even turned it on then off), but no luck. My initial impression was just a faulty microphone/hardware, but given that my second phone is also experiencing then same problem, I wonder if it is something that I am doing. I can assure you that I am not in any way blocking the microphone hole at the bottom of the phone (experimented with that to see if it was the cause). I can also rule out network issues due to moving between cells - I have experienced this problem driving and sitting still at my desk.

This problem, more than the GPS issue, will be the deal breaker for me - this is a business phone and I spend a substantial amount of time every day on work related calls.

Thanks in advance.

[Captivate General] gentil:
I have the same issue. My coworker had the same issue with his the replacement under warranty.

If I use the headset it works fine. If I mute the phone and un-mute it it starts working.

Something is fishy with the microphone of this model ...
[Captivate General] banesong:
:confused:

Okay, now this is getting ridiculous. Either I have really bad luck, or I am doing something wrong. On my second replacement phone, and like the last two, I have problems with the microphone cutting out during the middle of calls. Am I completely alone, or am I just lucky in getting phones with bad mics?

I keep the phone in my pocket with a body glove case. The mic is not plugged up, and it seems random. Could there be a software issue (ie a piece of software interfering and taking over the soundstream from the mic)? Even though the person on the far end cannot hear me, I can hear them.

Thanks

[Captivate General] slap_bassman:
@ banesong: I'm having similar issues. I've had my phone for a little more than 24 hours. last night i couldn't hear anything coming from my mic and obviously could not communicate from my end. taking the battery out and back in fixed it for me. but i look at this as only a temporary solution. hopefully this isn't a hardware issue
[Captivate General] el_boogie28:
I am having the same issue. I've had my Captivate since the end of July and it is running stock 2.1 that came with it and unrooted. I can't remember when the issue first started. But it has been doing it a lot more lately. It seems to happen around 8 or 9 minutes after I am on the phone call. At first I would hang up and just call back. Then I discovered that the mic would start working again if I just turned the speakerphone on and then off again.

It is really starting to get annoying now. I am thinking about getting a warranty replacement. The only reason why I didn't get a warranty replacement sooner is because I don't feel like having to remember and reinstall all the apps that I have on my phone now.
[Captivate General] t.matern:
Having the same issue here and I have an idea about the problem.

If you remove the lid on the back that covers the battery the microphone is disabled and no warning appears on the screen. This is the same behaviour we are all experiencing.

There are two round blank spots on the inside of the cover matching two contacts on the phone. My idea is that the 'lid open' detection checks if the lid connects these two contacts.

My microphone usually starts working when I squeeze the phone.

Not sure about a workaround yet but connecting the two connectors directly inside the phone should solve it permanently (but voids the warranty).

Hope that helps.

[Captivate General] t.matern:
Sorry, please ignore my previous message. I couldn't reproduce it yesterday so it must have been coincidence.

However, I have the same microphone problem and would like to know if there is a fix for it.

[Captivate General] noblebaker:
Possible fix

I know this is an old thread but I have one of these old phones and was having this problem. After fiddling with the settings a bit I found a setting under Call Settings->Voice Call->Noise suppression. I unchecked the box and the mic seems to be working - for now.

I had just rooted (for the first time) my phone using this guide;

http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-how-to/(guide)-rootin-flashing-rom/

That root went perfect. After that I flashed LeeDrOiD V2.3c (first v2.3b then 2.3c), also I flashed the accompanying radio with the number that matched my baseband version.

Then I used Titanium backup to restore everything, and it was perfect. Everything good.

Then I thought the Super Circle Battery looked nice, and tried installing it. It's this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

I first tried to flash this zip file from that page; scbm_A_white_number.zip the same way I had just flashed LeeDrOiD. Nothing happened.

Then I went to The Ultimate Online Tool Kitchen ( http://circle.glx.nl/ ) which is where the Super Circle Battery guys tell you to go.

I chose Flashable zip only, and under "framework-res.apk" I chose my ROM Leedroid V2.3c. It then makes a zip file, and I tried flashing that.

That certainly did something, and when I rebooted afterwards it was stuck in endless reboot!

I can only go to the white screen and then ClockwordMOD recovery screen now. I tried doing a factory reset there, and wiping dalvik cache as well, but it just starts up Leedroid and then goes into endless Leedroid boots.

I've also tried doing a hard reset, but it still just loads up the Leedroid loader, and goes into endless boot.

Please help!

put your device into recovery mode, and push your original framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ using adb :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvago:
That's what I thought (or hoped for), the problem is I can't get the Leedroid ROM zip on to my SD (be course I can't open it as a disc drive with my USB in the boot screen) , and it's not on there any more after I flashed it the first time.

I forgot to tell you, I'm a big noob at this. I didn't understand what you said.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
if you put your device in recovery mode, (hold vol down and press power when device is off, then choose recovery from the menu) scroll down to where it says mounts and storage, choose this then choose, mount usb storage. you can connect your cable and use your sd card as a disk drive. :)

Sometimes it just takes that long to flash the Circle Batt zip. When I was still on Lee, I kind of panicked too when my Desire got into the LeeDroid bootloop. Did several battery pulls, and was just about to give up when I left it to boot by itself for about 10 more minutes (too long, I know), and voila--the circle batt indicator showed up on the top bar, right alongside the network signal. Don't know why, but the Circle Batt zip actually took longer to flash than the ROM itself.
