S-On. and I could have sworn that I had s-Off before the botched update. I have been using programs that require root such as wi-fi tether, root explorer, cpu tuner, etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-stam:
I assume you mean RA the recovery. Which file should I use to download and change the name? I've only used .img files to flash it as an alternate recovery.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Download the .zip file and just right click on it and select rename. Make sure its PC36IMG.zip exactly. Otherwise bootloader won't recognize it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-stam:
I did that just now. downloaded the latest from the forum post in your signature, renamed it exactly, put it on the root, held power and volume down, it read the file and said "Checking File" for a couple seconds then just went back to the regular menu. never asked me "Yes" or "No".
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Sounds like you lost root somehow. I just noticed in ur earlier post that you have s-on. You most likely have to root again.

If you have a custom recovery still flash unrevoked forever, that well unlock your nand. Once that is unlocked you should be ok to continue.

Dots that update the hboot as well? If so that is probably what did it, otherwise you may have had an incomplete unrevoked root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-stam:
Is there a way to root without being able to get into the rom? I only have the hboot menu as an option of interacting with the system right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-stam:
Still stuck here. I tried running Unrevoked3 again and there wasn't enough time for it to recognize the phone before it did the 5 vibrations and went to black and cut off the usb connection. I tried renaming the latest RUU from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=874091 to PC36IMG.zip and it did the same thing as before, the blue vertical progress bar reached the top, it said "Checking" and then after a minute or so it just went back to the regular first menu.

It sounds like the solution would be to get it rooted, but I need to find a way to do that without being into the rom or recovery.

You guys are a lot smarter then me when it comes to Android and fixing borked installs and updates. I know you guys can come up with a solution here, so thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
The link in my sig has 3.29.651 in RUU and PC36IMG.zip form, you can use one of those to get a working rom. Afterward you should be able to use the quick method to get rooted and flash a recovery again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
When you renamed the file, did you actually add the ".zip" to the name? If so, the file is called PC36IMG.zip.zip and the bootloader won't see it. Just name it to PC36IMG and the .zip is added automatically.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-stam:
I have "hide files extensions for known files" turned off in my folder options :)

But good thought and thanks for the info.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-stam:
IT WORKED!!!

Wow, what a relief to see it get past checking the rom and asking me if I want to update. Thank you so much! time to unrevoke and then unrevoke forever, so I won't have so many issues if this happens again.

Thanks everyone for your help. You guys are the best.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pscalett:
I had this same problem and couldn't ever figure it out. It would power on and the go black and vibrate 5 times. I ended up clearing my phone and going to Sprint to have it replaced. Glad you got yours all figured out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-stam:
So, I got the stock rom loaded, however I can't mount either of my microSd cards. and also when I try and install the OTA update from Sprint, it goes to black and does the 5 vibrations again. Also, unrevoked3 isn't working. Also, when I plug it into my computer it won't let me mount as a storage device.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-stam:
Is there another RUU I could try or another way to root that would get me access to recovery? Really not sure what to do but I'd hate to take it to Sprint and have to get a new one for this.

Thanks.

[XPERIA X8 General] trapacska:
try to use seus, or i think you have driver issue. try it: remove thebattery, wait 30 sec, take battery back, and then wait 30 sec, and now plug it to your computer with holding back button, and then press flash button. for me works. i hope you can repair it.

(if you have backup in your xrecovery, backup it)

(or mount sdcard in xrecovery and /system and /data in partition tools menu, and do steps in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880576 )

i cannot access xrecovery....!!!! i had xrecovery but it disappeard when i've installed the rom
[XPERIA X8 General] amtzone:
try this....i found on other website...

1. Turn the power off. If your Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it

2. Hold the Left and right buttons located beneath the display

3. Press and release the Power button

Follow the on-screen instructions to hard reset your Xperia X10

All data including third-party applications will be deleted from the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.

hope give u luck....

Hi guys, I need to convert the lat/long coord to pixel xy coord to show a dot on the top of some image, I know I can use the following code inside MapView to do that conversion:

mapView.getProjection().toPixels(location.getPoint(), screenCoords);

int x=screenCoords.x;

int y=screenCoords.y;

however, I don't want to show or use the MapView, I just want to extract the X and Y screen coord, because I have my own background, my app will use a simple ImageView to display that background and I want to draw a little dot on canvas, on the top of that background, that dot will only appear if that location respect some range.

To better understand the question, imagine I have an aerial photo showing some building, I know the lat/long of that building, and I want to display a dot representing the building and a second dot if my actual position is near from that local.

How I can get the XY pixel screen position of that location without showing the MapView?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barya:
Hi,

I have three questions:

1. I can't find the GPS Restore application that samsung released on the market. Maybe I must run the official rom in order to find it? can someone give me a link to the apk?

2. The phone becomes extremely sluggish after every restart I perform and stays like this for somtimes an hour until all of a sudden it gets fixed and than it's very smooth. This only happens with JL5 roms and it happens with all of them, it doesn't happen with any of the older versions. Any one else had the problem?

3. Is there no way to listen to fm radio on the vibrant, has anyone tried downloading applications for the international version that play fm radio and run it on the vibrant?

Thanks alot for any answer you may provide.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
1) The GPSRestore app will reset your LbsTestMode settings to the default broken settings Samsung provided. Don't use it.

2) My phone has this exact problem (and others) any time I flash a 2.2 ROM. I can't do anything about it (so I stay on Eclair) because there's something wrong with my phone, but I would suggest you ODIN back to stock, re-root and then flash your 2.2 ROM.

3) No, there's no way to use the FM radio on the Vibrant. :(

This literally happend about 3 minutes ago. My dog bolted for the door and took out my legs from behind me which sent my phone flying out of my hand. It looks like just the glass is broken as the screen and touch screen still work perfectly.

So has anyone replaced the front screen? Is it replaceable? This pisses me off to no end as the phone didnt have a single mark or scratch on it and I just got approved for a brand new replacement to be picked up tomorrow at my local ATT store, to remedy the random shut off and random search key press.
[Captivate General] saint168:

[Captivate General] jmgelba:
$89.99! Only paid $79.99 for it in the first place! Ahh well.

Damn dog.
[Captivate General] jmgelba:
As I was already approved for replacement, do you think ATT will still swap it?
[Captivate General] maxjivi05:
Not with damaged glass. I'd pay 87 to fix it n a heart beat
[Captivate General] jmgelba:
Yeah and if I call and ask, it'll be on file so I'll never get to replace it if need be in the future.

Wonder if I could pull the glass from a non functioning demo version. Or is the glass not just a cover?

Nope, its a pretty involved process requiring a complete teardown

[Captivate General] jmgelba:
Any recommended places to purchase a screen from and where can I find a good guide. There are a few out there, but as we all know, not everything is created equal.
[Captivate General] nkrick:
If you go to an AT&T store it probably won't end up being on file (you don't even have to tell them who you are if they say "no"). Also, since gorilla glass is supposed to be nearly indestructible, it doesn't hurt to try to get it replaced under warranty (sounds like a manufacturing flaw/defect to me), the worst they can do is tell you "no."
[Captivate General] nkrick:
$5 per month plus a $90 deductible to replace the phone... $5 x 24 mo. = $120 + $90 = $210. I guess $210 is cheaper than buying a replacement off-contract, but $90 for a new piece of glass is a better deal...
[Captivate General] maxjivi05:
With a deductable it adds up. I always fix them myself when they break a lot cheaper

Im having issues with the internal SD card after the update. So is Dennishwc

Via Windows 7 64 "Error 0x80070057:The parameter is incorrect 'for file copy and 'The file is too large for the destination file system' when I try to make a folders.

When I try to format in Windows, it shows capacity only as 2.19GB rather than 13gb or whatever it should be. Same occurs on a Win XP laptop I tried, but explanation of the errors are more general but seem to be the same.

Seems it might be this issue that 2.2 caused for the SGS Vibrant ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860328

Could just be the SD card failing unrelated to the update, but I have no idea. Seems I can copy to an external SD, and then copy via the phone to the internal SD. Odd.

I have tried format via Windows, which resulted in 2.19gb size, but phone reboot reset it to 13gb. Format via phone did not resolve either.

Any fix that will work? or is it borked.

Don't forget to root first. I had a pain rooting this JL1. I spent 20 minutes playing with JL1 and I couldn't stand the lagginess. I'm sure lagfix would've helped, but I just went to a custom ROM instead.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Tried superoneclick only once and I'm rooted even went as far as unlocking it. Also, my phone isn't affected by the sd card bug. I can transfer files bigger than 2.19 Gb and it's showing the full size in Windows. Froyo runs flawless so far even though it's still not clear whether it's official or not.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riker2k:
Hmm, that's an odd one indeed.

Curious - I took a look at the 2 threads that Rye pointed out and one seems to be about external sd issues and the other about the mounting issues with 2.2 vibrant kernels. Doesn't seem like the problem you are having is either one of those... Could be but didn't seem that way upon review.

Did you happen to try and restore any backup after upgrading to 2.2 or anything? Can't imagine what would cause it but seems like it's getting mounted strangely or something... Surprised that a format internal sd wouldn't fix it in recovery...

Second question - what Samsung drivers / driver pack are you using on your Windows 7 x64 install? Wondering if the driver is failing to recognize the file system type and is causing Windows to treat it as a file system that shouldn't accept a file larger than 2+GB...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennishwc:
I havent noticed any problems with the size of the file. What happened with mine is that i transfered a couple of movies (about 3 or so) and then transfered about 4 gigs of music. halfway through the music it started giving me the error. after that, even transferring individual mp3 or pictures would result in an error. The internal sd card showed up on my computer as having 8gig free. after that i ran the check disk (by right clicking, going to properties then tools). my computer found errors and corrected them. after that, the internal sd card showed up as only having like less than a hundred mb left
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rye&ginger:
Riker2k, not sure if the drivers for Windows are the issue. I think I installed some drivers called SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2 that I got from the Samsung website, but I also just installed Kies to get the 2.2 update.

On the XP laptop, I was just using mass storage so it must have been generic drivers that were already on it.

To be clear, its usually shows as correct size in Windows explorer, but when I go to the format utility in Windows, it shows 2.19gb.

Im about to do the CWM recovery format and will post the results.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gin032:
If you are using the Rogers 2.2 update with no kernel modifications then the CWM will not work for you.

The Froyo kernel from Samsung comes with Recovery 3e which RomManager can not replace for 2e as 3e requires digitally signed packages.

consider (i have not tried):

- root device

- adb shell

- su

- backup any files you need on /sdcard to /sdcard/external_sd

- use the format commands to re-format /sdcard

-- probably mkfs.vfat or the like.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riker2k:
Yea, really not sure if the drivers are a problem or not. When I checked mine, running the Rogers 2.2, it shows the same as what yours does in the format utility - 2.19GB. That is odd because it seems to set the filesystem type as FAT32 which can easily handle the 13.0GB size of the volume. The properties in Windows show 13.0GB w/ about 11.0GB on my disk that is available...

Regardless, I would be hesitant to format or repair that disk within Windows. Who knows if there is something within Android that is put there as a translation layer that maybe Windows isn't seeing / reading correctly through the driver, etc. I'm sure someone does know but I'm not that guy so if anyone call fill in the details... :)

And, after just testing on my own system... bang, same issue trying to copy a 900MB file to it... Hmm, this just got interesting.

Going to check a couple of other things, will post result.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpeatt:
I had this exact same issue. The only fix for it that I could find was to do a complete restore of the stock rom. Oh well, nice to have a fresh phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riker2k:
Hmm, this is not a fun problem.

Just tested formatting the volume - from within the running phone only, mind you - and the result is strange. After copying everything from my SD card to my computer, with no issues, I unmounted the USB, formatted the card through the settings / sd card storage menu / format internal sd card. Took about 30 seconds after which point I reconnected the device, windows picked it up and I mounted it, recopied about 2GB worth of data to the card with no issues at all. Added an additional 500MB file to it with no issues. Disconnected the device from within windows using the safe removal tray tool, turned off usb connection on the device and then unplugged it. Remount the usb device and windows sees it no issues but I can't copy a single item or create a folder on it. Exact same errors as what Rye described and I encountered the first time.

So, seems like after a fresh format the sd card can be mounted in windows, ONCE, and then all hell breaks loose.

Why??? Will keep testing but looking like I need to move back to my previous di11igaf's ROM. Can't work like this...

Interested in what you find, Rye.

Oh btw, i am able to transfer files with no problems if i connect to the pc in media player mode. I have problems when i am in mass storage and kies connect modes
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rye&ginger:
Riker2k, good stuff. I have no news, Im stuck where I am unless I swap the kernel it seems as I cant use CMW Recovery to format.

This is over my head, so I will for now probably just do a format, load up the card via Windows, and then use the external card to slowly add items when I want to and transfer over to the internal through the handheld. Ghetto. Either our Sd cards will get worse and die, or more people will have issues and it will get patched I guess?

Dennishwc, I will try media player mode but I think it did nothing when I connected that way the other day. I didnt mess with it much though. I need mass storage to use iSyncr app though, but there is a wi-fi add-on that may help me avoid that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rye&ginger:
Well I just tried the format and dump a lot of stuff via Windows idea, and it only did about 2.2gb before the error stopped the fun. It did this twice, so this is is EXACTLY at the 2.19gb capacity that Windows is seeing in the format utility. So, I do have some news. :D

Again, this is over my head as to what to do next.
