[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Do you have access to any other windows pc? My first experience with odin I could bout get my phone recognized. Switched to another cpu, bam. I believe you have a mac as will but I an not sure that will work even with the vm

I asked about your build because 1010 has issues with the odin one click. Did not want to see you work for hours only to find port you need another program
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Other thoughts. Run odin in administrator mode (right click->run as administrator) and check for other things which may interfere with the driver (such as winamp, double twist, etc.).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
I can install windows 7 instead of XP... but i don't have access to another box, no.

This is a very clean install of TinyXP (as in i haven't done anything to it except what i've needed to in order to recover my phone) so I don't think there's anything else. There sure isn't anything else running in the foreground

thanks for all your help so far guys, I really appreciate it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
So did the driver ever work?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
the driver only worked to recognize the phone when it was in the "frozen" mode showing the screen I attached earlier. The computer never recognized it in download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
What I mean is, when the phone was working, were you ever able to actually mount the sdcard or anything in windows, because it seems like this is a driver problem. Maybe it's TinyXP, or you might try the driver that comes with the sdk. If you can dual boot linux then I'd try heimdall.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
I was definitely able to connect it to my mac and mount the sd card. I put a bunch of music on there, among other things

Edit[ come to think of it, i didn't even need a driver to connect it to my mac. It just connected and mounted up ]

Funny story actually... the tinyXP installer (read as: via the tinyXP installer, I... :D) messed up my ubuntu partition, which was my primary OS. So... When I get ubuntu reinstalled, i'll pull up heimdall. I have it on my mac, actually, but OSX won't recognize the device.

Anyway, i got windows 7 up and running, used the driver, and basically the same result, except now it also gives me:

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Forum search is down at the moment, otherwise i'd be looking that up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Does the error 10 occur when in download mode?

If you still have the Mac handy you could try heimdall.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
yeah, the error occurs in download mode. I am posting from the mac right now, but I'm still trying to figure out how to get the captivate to register with OSX. I'll keep trying.

where do i get firmware for heimdall, and what firmware do i want?

edit: heimdall says: "Failed to detect compatible device" when in either download mode or the frozen mode. However, when I connect USB when it's in the frozen mode, OSX recognizes it as a network interface. Not sure what that means
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
The same firmware you use with odin, but which one you need I'm not sure. If you have a batch 1009 or later earlier then the PDA.tar here should work. With later revisions, you may need I897UCJH2.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
So in trying to use heimdall, this thread says I need to use kies to update the bootloader... kies sees my phone but won't connect to it, so i don't think that's an option. When I just go and use heimdall, it says "Failed to detect compatible device"

If I force Windows 7 to use the correct drivers, it fails to install them and says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

I guess I need to get ubuntu reinstalled so I can try heimdall without kies. That'll be for tomorrow
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
OK, ubuntu 10.10 is now purring along, triple-booting with XP and Win7 :D

Unfortunately, it won't flash. Once again, "Failed to detect compatible device." This is with the captivate in recovery

download

mode, plugged into the USB on the back of the computer, and using the command:

heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --param param.rfs --modem modem.bin --kernel zImage

So. this is not a driver problem, since i got the same results on OSX, windows, and ubuntu.

What the hell do I do now?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Recovery or download mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
oh, i'm sorry, that should say download mode. I can't get to recovery mode...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
bump.

anybody got any ideas, or is it bricked, or what?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
you may have done this already, but have you tried another computer/laptop?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
tried from my macbook pro and a desktop from within tinyXP, windows 7, and ubuntu
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supaphreek:
Erm... here are my two options :)

If you can install rom manager, Go ahead and do that, and reboot into recovery through that. It usually goes straight to cwm for me :S so you can install a new rom through there if thats what your going for.

The next part is ADB commands. If your computer doesnt recognize it, make sure you install the drivers. (and your in debugging mode) If you cannot get it to connect on your computer, try a different USB port, or another computer :).

Then adb reboot recovery

and Voila :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
Neither of those are viable. It won't boot, so ROM Manager isn't even close to an option. I can't get into recovery mode at all. The ADB commands would work, except that XP, OSX, Windows 7, and ubuntu all report that there's no compatible device.

I wish either of those things would work. That seems like what everybody is suggesting
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
Funny, I tried installing Steam's kernel on Darky's 8.0, and everything went downhill, from force closes all around, to the phone getting stuck during boot, just like you.

I cannot get into download or recovery mode either, even though I was able to do that before. adb doesn't recognize the device while booting.

Any ideas? I'm using the same computer I've used to flash before, so I have no idea what happaned.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
Does yours boot now, ever?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
I see the AT&T logo, the GT I900 logo, then the Galaxy S logo. After that, I feel the force close vibration. Then a black screen, and it vibrates ever 10 or 15 seconds. I can touch the softkeys and see the response (it blinks) but nothing happens. I have to take the battery out to turn it off.

ADB doesn't see it...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
I don't even get to the galaxy s screen. It just sits at the GT I9000 logo. Same thing with the softkeys for me. I can get it to reboot by holding the volume buttons and power button, but then it just does the same thing.

There's gotta be a way to reflash these things.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
OK, big progress all of a sudden!!!

I booted into

recovery

mode on a whim by holding down both volume buttons and the power button. The screen didn't change from the I9000 screen, but I plugged it in to USB and ran adb... and IT'S THERE!

So the phone's in recovery mode but the screen doesn't show it. What can I do from here?

Edit: now it's gone. working on figuring out what i did to get it in the first place

Edit2: so what's happening appears to be that it goes into recovery mode very briefly. Long enough for me to catch it if i "./adb devices" quickly and regularly after i plug in USB. But then the next time, it's gone. I don't understand, how can this happen?

I wrote a little shell script that I run repeatedly right after I plug in the phone:

./adb kill-server

sudo ./adb usb

./adb devices

./adb reboot recovery

If I run it often enough right after I pug the phone in, it'll recognize the phone, give me a serial number and tell me it's in recovery mode. Then it'll reboot the phone. I tried putting a heimdall flash statement in there, but it couldn't detect a compatible device
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
I definitely need to try this.

If you get adb to recognize, do a adb reboot download. I just need to get into download mode to restore the original image.

So I'll try this first.

But something worth noting, if I open Odin in the boot loop, it recognizes the phone, yet adb doesn't see it. Why? I'm also wondering, what would happen if I try to do a Master Wipe in this state?

Wish we could get this thread more exposure. Are you on AIM or something?

edit: no luck, running adb devices repeateadly while the phone is booting doesn't bring any result.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JPBetley:
I'm having problems booting into either Recover or Download mode. I'm running a Captivate with I-9000 firmware, so I was thinking that I can't boot using the buttons because it doesn't have a physical home button like the I-9000.

Now, I've booted into these modes using adb before. However, something is wrong with my custom rom and now I can't get past the lock screen because I have to force close com.android.phone every two seconds, so I can't enable usb debugging to use adb.

Does anybody have any idea on what the hell is going on and how I can fix this?!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
Looks like there's 3 of us with very similar problems.

I too need to boot into either recovery or download. I don't know this happened thought. I used previous versions of Darky (which is a i9000 rom) and was able to get into download using the vol up + vol down + usb cord combination. Not sure what exactly changed with the installation of the steam kernel. :(

I'll need to make a jig, but I have to look for a damn place where they sell resistors need my house. Where I live radioshack does not.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubabuddha:
Sounds like the 3 of us might all have slightly different problems. cumanzor, if you pm me your AIM or email address i'll look you up

New development: When phone is in download mode, and plugged in to USB, if I run "sudo ./adb usb" i get "error: protocol fault (no status)"

Trying to read up on what to do about that
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
Yeah, but perhaps we might be able to reach a solution that works for everyone or, at least, for one of us.

btw, I also made a small loop that runs adb devices while booting... no sign of the device, at all. I really thought adbd started early in the boot process.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshhayes801:
Yikes

Did you guys ever manage to solve your issues? I have the same problem on my SGS4G. I don't really know what happened but it's as if there is no firmware on the phone. in download mode, isn't recognized by Odin or by the pc but on the frozen screen (Galaxy S 4G exclusively from t-mobile) it is recognized by both. I have so far only tried on this pc (running xp pro sp3 performance edition) on several different ports and all my drivers have been uninstalled and re installed many times! Please help! Oh and with any of the three button combo's while the phone is plugged in it only shows a big empty battery with a stuck loading wheel. Cannot get to recovery either.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Might not find an answer if your issue is with an sgs4g. Nothing in these threads will work for that phone. Hope you didnt try to use anything here for it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshhayes801:
No

I didn't try to use anything from here. I had http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074939 this rom on my sd card and ready to go and shortly before installing it I wiped everything, went to boot cause I forgot a file to put on the sd card and when I went to boot it was stuck at the loading screen. Picture attached. I can get in to download mode fine and the comp or odin won't recognize it. Only when it's on the frozen screen. I'm actually moving this to the appropriate forum. Sorry. I'm fairly certain mine is just the computer though cause Odin won't recognize any other phone either.

Yes, it will boot fine. It will also add several folders to it such as ".android_secure".

Or it may implode....;)

Hello!

I've just released on the Market my new ROM Updater!

Differently from koush's ROM Manager, this one is stand-alone repository based, it's freeware and ad-free. It can be easily integrated in your own ROM and it allows you to download full or incremental (if available) updates.

Besides updating your system, it allows you to automatically perform some recovery actions, such as cache/data wipe and backup just clicking on a menu item.

Comments, ideas and donations are welcome :)

Read more on my website: http://www.elegosproject.org/android-rom-updater
[Android Apps and Games] jrmatics:
Ok gonna give it a try
[Android Apps and Games] elegos:
The application reached the version 1.7, a lot of downloads but still no one who use it. I thought it was outstanding (for ROM modders/developers) to have such an instrument for free, but I think I was wrong.

By the way, I've updated the webpage with more content, for example

how to automatically create incremental updates

. I tried with the latest versions of some ROMs and there is a huge improvement in zip lightweight.

Let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
The kind of tool you bravely developed may be considered a bit sensitive, people will need to be sure it is stable before adopting it.

So please hold on because I (and probably many others) think it's the perfect kind of tool for us rom modders and tweakers :-)
[Android Apps and Games] soccerdon1981:
May I post this over on fascinateforums.com?

I think this is a great tool. Just need to get the word out!
[Android Apps and Games] samo_nz:
you need to get this thing started by including CM nightlies etc without a server needing to be entered, also the title in the program makes it look way to WP7 style..

just some constructive criticisim, no flames please guys:-)

Great app always disliked ROM manager for restricting features without paying, I prefer to donate because I like the app not because I have to
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
Be pacient... :) Great tool!
[Android Apps and Games] elegos:
@elban: test test test test and test again :)

@soccerdon1981: of course you can :) Directly link the website ^^

@samo_nz: well, I thought about setting a standard repository, but it's even phone-independent, so if I set one for, i.e., the Nexus One, all the others may dislike it. This is an "unbranded" application, and I've wrote on my website how to "embed" a ROM repository directly in the ROM :) . As of the title, yeah it sucks, but I can't edit it :P

@all: good news for everyone :) I've released my incremental.jar (+ sources). This program allows you to create incremental updates with even more options than the PHP one, and should be Windows-compatible too without editing a single bit :)
[Android Apps and Games] taha198:
Great Idea

will give it a try
[Android Apps and Games] elegos:
v.1.8 is out

- ROM modders/developers: you don't need to format the ROM name, now it will see the version from the incremental variable, always in the build.prop file. How to say: just implement it, there are no more excuses :) (more info on the website)

- changed from version 1.7:

-- Tried to fix a null pointer exception (please test)

-- Added incremental.php and incremental.jar (plus sources) in the git repo to automatically build incremental updates starting from *old version* to *new version* unzipped updates

-- Moved common data in a singleton (SharedData class), more comments and readable code
[Android Apps and Games] kongutoxiclab:
Great app:D
[Android Apps and Games] elegos:
v.1.9 is out.

New in this version:

- Anonymous data now includes: phone model, ROM name, ROM version, ROM repository

- New menu in the settings, which allows to set the repository from a list built upon the anonymous data sent when you download a version of the mod (please accept to send anonymous data!)

I've setup a Enomther TheOfficial Nexus1 ROM (for Nexus One indeed) repository. I've edited the build.prop to fit the program. This is an EXAMPLE repository (I'm going to support in any case), I hope that this action will lead to MOD developers to kick their ass and setup a repo themselves. It works on Dropbox too, no excuses :) (10GB / day for free users)
[Android Apps and Games] flibblesan:
elegos, this is exactly the kind of application I have been looking for to assist people updating my ROM. Just wanting to know since the app is GPL that I'll be able to make some changes to the app and rename it for use in my ROM please? Also is there a way that I can embed a custom repo URL directly into the app without having to drop a file into the data partition?
[Android Apps and Games] elegos:
well, I thought that the /data/ solution was just fine :)

In any case please do not rename/change the application. Even if it's GPL, I'd really appreciate if you suggest me the changes you want to do and maintain the original app, it's meant to be universal, and such if you edit it to fit your ROM only it becomes the last of the "XXX updater" applications. Also, maintaining the original app, you'll be automatically listed in the central list, so that other people may try your ROM simply choosing it from the list.
[Android Apps and Games] matts79m:
Great job on the app elegos! Look forward to see in future how easily the updates will be to use :)
[Android Apps and Games] elegos:
Version 1.10 is out :)

Fixes (hopefully!):

- ANR (set network timeouts)

Features:

- Added SD-EXT wipe option (app and app-private), inside the data wipe one

- Support for more recovery actions in a row (for example, wipe + install. Only in code ATM)
[Android Apps and Games] elegos:
Version 1.12 is out in the market:

- FIX: odd number in info popup

- FIX (hopefully): crash on rotation while downloading files

- FIX: changelog for ROMs with spaces in their name

- Added: backup management (browse, restore, delete)

- Added: downloads management (browse, apply, delete)

- Changed: lists are now filling parents and not wrapping content (more android-like)

- Changed: download files via AsyncTask (as it should have always been)
[Android Apps and Games] elegos:
Version 1.13 (build 17 lol) is out

- Moved input streams (data reading) in asynchronous tasks, so that the application should not freeze for few seconds anymore. This should also fix some crashes that have been reported (if not all of them). Thanks for reporting!

- Added an info popup when entering the repositories list informing the user about its dynamic nature.
[Android Apps and Games] leonnib4:
Nice :)

Thx for this man
[Android Apps and Games] Darkyy:

@Darkyy

Hope you can make OTA work with your ROMs. Really excited about it. :)

[Android Apps and Games] JagaHee:
What about Cm7 nightlies for nexus one? Does anybody know the repository link? Or it is a newbie question?
[Android Apps and Games] NewYorkLaw:
Maybe a relative newbie like me should not have played with your tool, but I thought (based on the xda review on the front page) that maybe it would be easier to use than the rom manager I have installed. (aosp's gingerbread rom on my hero cdma). I tried to use it to reboot into recovery (3 0 0 5) but it locked me up after booting. The HTC splash won't go away. PUlled the battery and held down volume down/power, chose "recovery" and it still hangs. I connected and booted with a usb connection and restored the files in the recovery subfolder (following aosp's instructions from when I originally upgraded to 3005), it seemed like it worked, but still no recovery mode. How can I get back into recovery mode?

Thanks,

Pete
[Android Apps and Games] kdb424:
I'm going to keep an eye on this. I have it installed, and rated in market. It looks great, and would be EXCELLENT for nightlies due to the incremental updates. The interface looks a little bland, but it's not the pretty that drives a good app, it's the power (not to say it's ugly, just very basic) Thank you so much for your hard work. Put a donate version in the market or easy access to donate in your thread. You deserve it!
