[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillyw:
Odin is also finnicky about USB ports. If you are on a desktop machine, try using one in the back instead of the front, or if you have multiple sets, try using a different one. I've had Odin not recognize certain USB ports but recognize others before.

Finally, I suspect you already know this, but for sanity's sake make sure you start both the PC and phone up fresh after reboots, open Odin, then connect the phone. Connecting the phone first breaks Odin.

Plug the phone in after it is in download mode, otherwise odin might not see it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
I know...but I have had to do it this way on a couple of times..and let it go into download when it was hooked up already..It's strange..but it worked at that time..after getting the drivers loaded for the first time on the wifes laptop..

Mac
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
What OS are you running? Are you explicitly starting odin in administrator mode (right-click->run as administrator)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
Okay, so I switched USB ports and it suddenly recognized and it started to download drivers. But it was listed as a gadget Serial and no drivers found. Geez this would be so much easier if I was at home where the laptop is set up with everything instead of being several states away.

Okay, so apparently I do not have the correct drivers installed. I really appreciate all the help so far. At this point, should I just google Samsung Captivate drivers or does someone have a link handy?

I can't get to my debugging as the phone stays on teh AT&T boot screen. I did have it enabled before I left OKC though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
I've gotten teh Samsung modem software successfully installed.

Phoenix 3.0 which is 2.2

The Odin is a zipfile that I have to use winzip to use it. It doesn't have the option to use as an administrator.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
OS as in, what OS is your DESKTOP/LAPTOP running?

and....you need to EXTRACT Odin from the zip file, and run it as administrator
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
O_O You blew my mind.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
Windows 7 is the OS and I finally got Odin extracted and running as administrator
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
I know. Flying from OKC to St. Louis and then from St. Louis to Baltimore with a several hour layover has me exhausted and not thinking clearly.

I did manage to reboot it and Phoenix came up. All drivers were showing ready except for ADB and then the phone shut down and ADB said phone was unplugged.

I feel like I'm making headway but just not there.

And why is it I'm staying in an expensive hotel and you still have to pay for net? Geez
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
I downloaded the 64bit drivers. Ran the exe file.

Extracted Odin and have run it as an administrator

Put the phone in download mode.

Odin is still not seeing anything.

NM....pop up box just said taht device driver software not successfully installed. I think I'm going to hit my head against the wall for a bit.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
I assume you are running 64-bit Windows 7. The head-wall thing sounds like a good plan. Also, you might try the SDK USB driver.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
I'll try the SDK USB driver. Like I said, I appreciate the help. I've run into this problem before but I was around my wife's laptop where everything is already set up and it was a matter of plug, go, and done.

Now if only someone was in the Baltimore area with super awesome fixing problems that had a Captivate. If that the SDK doesn't work, I'll give it a try after some sleep.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
I'm starting completely over. I went to the download link for the 64. I downloaded the drivers then 1 click unzipped them. I clicked on the setup file. Odin 1 click is downloaded. I've plugged my phone in and it's downloading drivers. It's getting stuck at the adb and acm drivers. Am I going wrong somewhere?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Who knows. Did the driver install? Are you running 64-bit Windows?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
The download said successfully downloaded. I plugged my phone in and it's getting stuck on the adb and acm drivers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
Well, got it in download mode and Odin3 to see it and run it. However one of the guys knocked it off the usb cable while it was saying RESET on Odin3 and now it won't boot on at all. The battery doesn't even show up as charging in off mode when hooked up to the charger.

At this point I'm assuming the phone is fully bricked. Is there anything I can do to rescue it at all? If I call AT&T will the techs be able to tell that I messed with it if I send it in?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
The first thing I would do is remove that battery, sim and (if installed) external sdcard then wait a few minutes and try the phone again. If the phone still doesn't appear to be powering up, pull the battery, start odin, plug in the USB cable then hold the volume buttons while inserting the battery and see if it's detected.

If it made it all the way to reset then it's probably all cleared out, but that's not to say there will be no evidence. I'm not sure what went wrong, since it sounds like the flash was done. Maybe you used the wrong firmware for your phone revisions, so that may be evidence of tampering and I don't know what you left on the sdcard.

All you can do now is try. If AT&T gives you any trouble then go through Samsung.

Heya guys,

I'm in need of some suggestions for a good basic 2.2.1 rom. I've read quite a bit about the various roms out there but nothing has stood out as what I'm looking for:

May not exist but my ideal find would be something that's based on a real captivate beta and not i9000. I've been really happy with Cognition's 2.2.0 Froyo but I've recently learned that its outdated and an update I require for email is available in 2.2.1. Perception has a couple (home button and lighting) bugs that would drive me insane. Firebird seems to have them too along with way too many hacks and ui mods for my taste. I've heard good things about Darky and would love to hear what other people think is the highest quality "basic" 2.2.1 rom around is.

Thx a ton guys!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Here is your issue there is no Captivate 2.2.1 rom. They are all i9000 roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfhp:
I thought that was probably the case. Since it is, I'd love any suggestions as far as the most stable i9000 rom. This may be the same answer as before, but do any not have the buttons not lighting on screen press etc. issues?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
They all have that issue sad to say.

Darkyy's ROM (8) with speedmod kernel (K12L) and JL2 modem.. Apply battery tweaks with speedmod kernel and off it goesssss
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Ok I will put in my two cents. Docs kitchen rom will be the cleanest rom, largely because you can pick and choose what you want. 2.2.1 base, choice of two kernels, two modems, several launchers, base apps, utilities, and a couple of themes. If you want basic, choose asop theme with minimal apps. If you flash it and don't like it, go back to the kitchen and build another configuration.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix-Lead:
His request was for a 2.2.1 base.

Also check out Dorian's Froyo Rom. I've just started using it and it works perfectly on my Captivate.

Looks good...is the "BLN" thingy a fix for the button lights not working on screen activity?

No, BLN stands for backlight notification, and turns the bottom buttons into an LED of sorts when you get a notification with your screen off.

Hi guys and girls, Im new to the forums and ive turned here because I have noone else to go to without dealing with customer support. My problem is my HTC Surround gets stuck on the "HTC" screen and wont go anywhere past that. Before my phone died I noticed it was very laggy and all my pictures were gone. I dont know if you guys can help, im pretty good with computers so any suggestions I should be able to try. I was also wondering if it was possible to flash the OS right back on it myself if its corrupt. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
a few things to try in this order...

1. if you have a case on the phone, remove the case, then try and boot

2. try connecting it to the pc and booting it up (launch zune on desktop first) to see if it zune can fix it

3. try holding the volume buttons up and down at the same time and booting the phone, it should ask if you want to hard reset, select yes (you'll loose all your data, but since you can't even get in the phone anyways, that shouldn't matter)

4. go back to the store and get a replacement
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arhus:
Thanks for the response

1. No case

2. Tried this, zune software says it cant restore my phone

3. Tried this as well, no luck.

4. have insurance, but being from alaska that is my last resort because i dont want to have to wait a week for shipping to get a working phone back, but if i dont find a solution before ATT closes tomorrow thats what ill end up doing.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdj67f:
Mine did the same thing 34 days after I bought it. They would not even trade me out in store because it was 4 days past due of the return date. I had to go through factory warranty to get a new one. It was just flat dead and nothing would revive it, even a hard reset. Fortunately Zune backs up all your pictures so you should be fine there. Call ATT immediately.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
Sounds like the sd card in it died....

You could take it apart and replace the card (Google ifixit, they have pics of how to), but you might void the warranty if they can tell you have tampered with the card.

Good luck

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arhus:
Some questions if it is the SD. Is the OS stored on the SD? If so how would I get WP7 back on it. I could definately change it myself. I actually just saw a break down on the Surround. If it doesnt void my insurance id be totally willing to change it out with an even bigger SD while im at it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arhus:
As for dealing with Warranties and insurance, thats my last resort being in Alaska the shipping processes are a pain.

Hi,

Is there any application which fakes incoming caller ID ? I assign some fake number to an incoming number and the fake number is displayed when he or she calls.

The same with SMS too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hakim Rahman:
just use SmartPhone PhoneyCall to fix it :):)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] painkiller009:
I'm not looking for a fake call generator.

I'm looking for something which can replace/modify and display different incoming number.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hakim Rahman:
okay , if so try SMSDRFixWM :):)

- Improved phone number searching algorithm

- Improved contact looking up

- Added replacing number in text messages

- Improved Delivery notification design

- Simplified settings

- Deleting moves messages to delete folder

- Fixed setting delivery time
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] painkiller009:
I'm sorry to say that even thats not what I have been looking for. I never mentioned anything about delivery reports. The app you suggested is for delivery reports. It replaces the number and displays contact in a delivery report.

MagicCall is something which suites my need. I tried it, pretty much enough for the calls. Except for Incoming calls it can't replace original number if you want to answer the call.

And for SMS I'm still looking. May be something like which can encrypt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hakim Rahman:
this application to protect your private and sensitive infomation such as contacts, call history, tasks and SMS

-Call Magic: Answer incoming calls to your phone automatically and/or listen to what is happening around your phone. This ground breaking technology is the only one of a kind solution in the mobile industry!. This solution is software based and does not require any hardware tweaking.

-Call Magic will enable you to answer incoming calls from a pre-defined number at zero ring, i.e. the phone will answer the call automatically without a ring! Every time you call your phone from the pre-defined number, the phone will answer the call without a single ring! After the call is picked up then you can hear what is happening in the surrounding of the phone.

-After Installation Call Magic allows your phone to have three answer modes -- Reject All, Hands-free and Answer One.

-In Answer One Mode you can set a pre-defined number and select the number of rings after which the phone should auto-answer. No further user interaction is required. If you selected, zero rings then next time a call is made to your phone from the pre-defined number, your phone will automatically answer it. No rings, it simply answers! Magic!

-In Hands free Mode the user can select the number of rings after which ALL incoming calls will be automatically answered.

-Reject All Mode will reject ALL incoming calls and send a busy signal to the caller. The caller and you will not be charged for the call. Our software makes the Network Provider send a busy signal to the calling party.

-Call Magic does not require constant activation after the phone is switched on. Call Magic is a Pure Software Solution and starts up automatically when the phone is switched on.

-WARNING! Using surveillance devices, intercepting and/or recording audio conversations, without the consent of all the parties involved might be illegal in your country. Check local laws before using Magic Call.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubayou:
Ive been hacking up a repo system for droids over the past few weeks under the name apkget.

The goal is to have a simple app that can connect to any repo. get a list of app (may be version specific; looking at header), some meta data, and a download url. save all that on the client in a db. let the browse/search that, download install apps listed in the repo.

anyone can host a repo, filter droids via user-agents and give them the right apk.

Current experiment have show new possiblietes of this kinda of software, and was interested if there is anything like this (other than the commercial markets?).

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stmilli:
I have a rooted Slide that will not power on. Obviously without it turning on I can not unroot, so my question is will they look at the memory and see I'm rooted/ see that I'm running a custom Rom and void the warranty? Or should I be safe considering the phone will not power on?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
You should be safe, they aren't going to go out of their way to see if you rooted or not. Checking the memory would require a great deal of work if the phone won't even power on, so you're good.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
In my experience working with another phone manufacturer, if the device will not even power on, provided there is no physical damage and no liquid damage, they simply send you a replacement. When they finally go to try and fix the handset you sent in, they will most like simply fix the reason it is not powering on, and then would flash it themselves by default to a factory ROM.

I never really fully utilized it myself. I hope you get more done here or I'll just take the move personally. Actually, now that you guys were moving into compiling and building I thought this would come. Also, you should look to get some Soju out of this with some donate links or something, even if you aren't looking to take in any cash perhaps you could use it as a seed pot for bounties.

good write up.. Glad to see you hit the same a.out snag as me. Just makes me think it's not configured right and so I have low hopes. Will be fun to see what happens when you put an initramfs in it. I'd just unpack the stock one and try that first.

As for z4control.. I'm pretty interested in getting this working as something like this was the real reason I started messing with this. It seems there may be some issue with the z4mod's init wrapper not doing things it should but anyway.. just now seeing issues. flashed one kernel where I added some debug output added.. trying to understand it (not understanding it yet). I'm optimistic that I can track it down. edit:... definitely making progress, not quite there yet but getting closer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Technecium:
Strictly to see if it would build completely and to get more info on how to do it, I did do an initramfs & kernel test build.

used the update2 kernel source

used the initramfs linked above (SHW-M110S intramfs Requires further research.)

ran find ./ | cpio -H newc -o > ~/Desktop/newramfs.cpio

added the cpio via menuconfig with no compression

It did build successfully and I ended up with a 7mb zImage vs. a 2.5mb.

There is no way in hell I am going to flash it because I do not know which initramfs (maybe from sk05) it is or what it contains but it did complete.
