help

i screwed up

i installed one click lag fix V1 and now my phone will not boot up. all i get is boot up screen with the S on it.

Can anyone help me
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
Can you boot into recovery? My best bet would be to go back to stock with Odin 1 Click (hopefully you can get into download mode).
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well if you don't mind spending 10-20USD you can get a USB Jig off eBay that'll force your phone into Download mode. Or you can download the Android SDK and see if adb will see it while it's on, and if adb does you can just type "adb reboot download" (without the quotes of course) to get into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] apeko:
i cant get to download mode holding volume up/down then power
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
In order to get into download mode you have to hold volume up and volume down and plug your usb cable. You do not need to use the power button.
[Captivate Android Development] apeko:
ok it says downloading now what?
[Captivate Android Development] chisnz:
That worked perfectly. Remove the the file, reboot, got FC on Voltage Control, another reboot and Voltage Control's happy. And I'm happy.

Loving my experience so far, so huge thanks to you eSPyeL. As I get used to it I'll try to think of extras that could make it even better in RC6.
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
What I suggest would be going back to stock using Odin.

Would be interesting to hear your comments Paragon vs Serendipity - in a constructive way. Maybe just highlighting key differences.
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
It's just a minor annoyance, doesnt happen all that often, only after reboots...
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
I am going to uninstall everything and restore in small batches...see if I can find the app.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Serendipity is a straight gingerbread like theme, many apps have theme tweaks, jpy base with hardcore kernel, not very flashy, stock rom had no battery percentage. Stable, quality product

Paragon has a flashier theme (i like better) smooth animations, js3 base, paragon kernel which is based on hc but allows oc. Stable, quality product. In my experience best in class for battery

txt is call log

Hey eSPyeL, how did you take txt messages out of the call log? Is it a kernel thing or what? Thanks man.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I used to have Serendipity and Assonance (his previous ROM) at some point I did not like where Serendipity began to go so I dropped it. Still a nice ROM but not on par with Paragon in my opinion.

Other than Paragon the next best ROM for me is Phoenix except that neither Phoenix nor Supernova will show all the market for me no matter what and I am not alone on that. For example, I could never find FPSE with those but Paragon gets it right away.

So I have been mostly using Phoenix and Supernova the last week or so and of the two, except for some awesone GPS with Supernova, Phoenix still gets the nod.

But, I am back to my favorite, smoother experience again right here.

[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
If you are referring to the Mobile AP feature, where the phone can act as a hotspot for multiple laptops etc., then all of the releases of Paragon already have that.

Just used it a couple of days ago while sitting in a doctor's waiting room that had no public wifi. My laptop connected to my phone's 'hot spot' and away I went!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Has nothing to do with Paragon, but why use Mobile AP over Tethering? Just curious.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
Tethering connects one PC, Mobile AP connects many.

Mobile AP requires no drivers to be installed on the laptop/PC, it just uses the native WiFi.

You can use Mobile AP on devices that have no USB drivers and/or USB port. i.e. Xbox

I can position the phone in the best location for signal without being concerned about the length of my usb cable.

If I'm only using my one laptop that happens to have the Samsung drivers loaded already, then yes, I usually use tethering so that the phone can draw power off of the laptop.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I too used it the other day when my internet was down. I actually got on Xbox live and played a round on black ops.. even got a 7 killstreak!

Phone ran a little warm but it works for sure!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Ok, so a couple of days ago a possible time line was discussed where rc6 would be out to beta testers with a release to all around the weekend. Well will we be seeing rc6 this weekend?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well the multi-connect was a given but I didn't think about the requiring drivers which makes sense to use Mobile AP if you're only using one computer and it doesn't have the drivers. My 360 doesn't have WiFi so I couldn't use it with mine ;/
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
I use 'Wireless Teather' with root works well.

[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Things have been crazy busy with work and home the last couple of days so I haven't had a chance to even look at the forums much less finish up rc6. Sorry guys. Hopefully I can still get it out to testers tomorrow night. I'm going to try and read what I have missed in the thread then get what I can done tonight.

I really beat on the battery in rc6 the last couple of days. I got 30 hours with pretty heavy use. I even left the backlight notification on for a solid 8 hours overnight. Seems bln has very little effect on battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] xelaboy:

The same functionality of that app is already built into the ROM, nothing extra needs to be added. Curious as to the benefit you gain...

What kind of gigs? Musician?

lol, definitely not. I'm not claiming everyone will get that kind of battery life. That's just what I got before I needed to plug in. Thought it was pretty good especially with all the testing I was doing.

I actually went to bed at 9pm I was so exhausted last night. Can't remember the last time I went to bed that early lol.

Paragon RC5.1 vs Serendipity 5.8 - a few of my perspectives. But please take these as great ticks for Paragon and some things that from my perspective could make it better. I've only been on Paragon for 1 day but have no plans of returning to Serendipity.

I really like about Paragon:

- Great GPS, much better than Serendipity

- Enjoy the OC/UV standard kernel, suggests other battery optimisations. Maybe better battery.

- Like the more colourful appearance and the use of some nice graphical icons: icons in the notification, power control, settings. Serendipity was a bit too focused on being minimalist green/black Gingerbread, but good work if you like that. Could Paragon have more 3d-effect, subtly coloured, nicely shaded icons that take advantage of the great screen we have?

Things in Serendipity that could be improved in Paragon:

- I could enter a Voicemail number. The same entry place is disabled for me in Paragon.

- Drop down notifications are less cluttered, it's easier to focus on the entries.

- USB Debugging always on and not shown in notification bar. I like to leave it on all the time so I can use ADB, and also mount the drives for easy copying. Having notifications just distract me, and I never need Kies!

- While Serendipity has no battery %, I really liked the Circle Battery A that ChanceM adds as an option - slightly thicker dotted circle that changes colour as battery gets low. I think that one's a bit better looking than the Paragon one.

- Prefer the V-shaped WIFI icon that gives a better idea of WIFI performance

But overall, loving Paragon and huge thanks to eSPyeL.
[Captivate Android Development] cobeebs:
thx chisnz, appreciate you taking the time to share your observations. I am _exceptionaly_ happy with Paragon (came from FireFly, before that, Cog) and have no intention of leaving. But I do keep an eye on the Serendipity thread and wondered how the two ROMs felt to someone who has used both.

I've used both and the only extra benefits I can see is that you can do MAC based authentication in addition to WEP or WPA encryption. It also displays how much data has been used while tethering which is nice if you don't have an unlimited plan.

hi I have tried jk4 and kp1 modems, where I live the signals I get are GSM 850 and HSDPA 850 as well, for the record with the Standard Eclair Rom I get 100% signal all the time and HSDPA, with the standard froyo I get the same, with this rom ( paragon ) I have tried jk4 modem and kp1 modem, they both give me basically the same no signal problem specially the jk4 ( the images attached are for a kp1 that one at least gave me some signal )

and the phone was unplugged at 60-70% not 100% however it still drained 50% in 3 hours or so, but I mean I have an awesome phone that can do everything but call or send text.. I mean I don't use it that much, but to at least call and send an SMS would rock lol

can someone guide me on how to get the modem configuration AS MUCH as standard as I can please ?

I do not live in the US...

but still the defaults work great for me... ( regarding modem and signal ) but I want to keep paragon...

any help is appreciated

( btw I started seeing this on 5.1 on 5.0 it was not a problem, I think )

:D

I have a conservative UV 100mhz 1200kernel

Thank you !

With eSPyeL actually trying to have a life (crazy guy) I've been able to play with a few other ROM's...wow what differences between them, you would think there would be little differences but it's like night and day between some.

But what it got me to realize is that my phone is the happiest and most stable with Paragon...so eSPyeL take your well deserved break, we will all still be here when you get back.

A couple of questions

Hello everyone,

I'm very PC literate, but kind of a newb when it comes to smart phones. This Captivate is my first one. I've got build 1009.

I've been rooted for a bit now (using OCR & have Ti Backup Pro). I really want to flash to this ROM but have a few questions:

1. I've read a lot on the net & gotten conflicting info on this: If I flash a ROM, does that mess up my marketplace ID?

Is there a way to fix that if it does?

2. If I decide I want to go back to stock for whatever reason, do I just put the phone in DL mode and run Odin3?

Is it really that easy to restore to stock?

3. After doing the Master Clear, I'm assuming I'll need to re-DL Ti and then restore all my junk?

Do I need to re-root, or is it rooted by default?

Is it dangerous to skip the Master Clear step?

Thanks in advance, and I'm sorry if this has all been gone over already, but this thread is nearly 300 pages long now!!

Bill
[Captivate Android Development] xelaboy:
1. Not sure, but I've never once had an issue. So that's that.

2. There are one click stock apps, and yes it's as easy as going into download mode and running it. It's the magic safety net for all mistakes. It's nearly impossible to brick these phones. (Even when you think it is bricked, it isn't and there is always hope. Don't ever panic.)

3. If you do a master clear, make sure you take your SD card out, or you'll lose all you backed up stuff. But yes in theory you'll still have to install TiBu in order to restore your apps. Some roms come with it standard though, saving you that one step.
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
Billbo1970

From my experience, yours may end up being different...

1) No, once I flashed and went back to market all my purchased apps were there

2) Yep

3) If you do the update first (see 1st page of paragon for file) and then the ROM TiB will be there and you will be rooted, just do your restore of apps only (not system apps)...I always do the master clear just so there isn't any garbage left behind from the mucking around I might do.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Dl android id changer from market, open app save id. When you flash, dl app again, if id up top is not yours click load then change

Flashing stock is as ready as using odin, being build 1009 one click should be fine

What is ocr? Do you mean oclf? If so before you flash make sure you disable lag fix before flash, or odin stock will do it as well

master clear is not needed, unless you feel there is something on your sd you want removed. If you are going to master clear backup all pictures, music, contacts, tibu files to pc our external sd.

If contacts are not synced with google you want to back them up to sim or external sd
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Not sure about item 1. but 2 its really that easy and 3. you will be rooted and will not need to re dl Ti as its preloaded in RC5.1

Good Luck ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Ok I've done a number of changes and unfortunately I'm not sure what has caused this dramatic improvement in battery life.

1. Switched to 2G (Edge)

2. Switched back to the 500Hz kernel.

3. Used Voltage Control as shown.

4. Have not used WiFi or Bluetooth since morning.

5. Set K9 mail to check every 10 rather than 5 mins.

BTW it's also the first time this has shown FULL once unplugged. It's now also 3hrs since unplugged and still 100% with a good 15 mins full screentime!

Weird!!! But loving it! Maybe by battery meter is stuck! LOL!

For those who have not been following... I usually get 10%/hr battery drain so usually after 3hrs I'd be down to 70% battery!
[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
Wow, thanks for all the replies guys! I'm going to try this 5.1 out later today.

Maybe I'm just a little bit of a dummy, but I'm a little unclear on just 1 thing... flashing the new ROM.... I THINK I put the zip on my SD card, get my phone into DL mode, then choose the reinstall option? Is that all you do?

As for OCR, I have a file (which I believe is no longer available) called One Click Root. It's AWESOME, you just put the phone in usb debug, plug in USB, run the OCR program, click on either button (ROOT ME or UNROOT ME) & it does everything. All you need to do after that is scroll down to reinstall & hit the power button.

If anyone wants it & can post it somewhere, PM me w/your email & I'll send it to you. It's 1.7MB zipped.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
No need to enter DL mode unless you are using ODIN to flash back to stock

Hopefully you have Clockwork recovery installed already..... If not, get the update.zip from the first post AND the full ROM zip and place both on your sdcard NOT in any folders. If you don't have Clockwork installed, get into the regular recovery using the 3 button combo and select "reinstall packages". Phone will reboot and you will need to reinstall packages again. That will pop up the Clockwork recovery.

Now, select Install zip from SD card. Then select Choose zip file.

Scroll down to select the Paragon ROM zip and press the power button

Scroll to select Yes, I really really want to do this because this ROM kicks major ass. Press the power button again

It will finish and then you will need to reboot your phone. Choose Go back, then reboot phone now (or something like that). After it reboots, it will pop up with another menu.. Select the Yes with reset and backup option.

Your phone will then be converted into a gleaming black slab of excellence,courtesy of eSPyeL, that your friends will want to touch... you should not let them... make them pay $1 per oggle
[Captivate Android Development] JFX:
Just put the rom file onto your main directory of the phone via usb transfer, then turn phone off. Hold down both volume buttons and power button until screen lights up, let go. It should boot into Clockwork revocery if you have it. You scroll with volume buttons to install zip from sd card. Then again, then select it in your folders. Try to flash a new rom with full battery.. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
I've never heard of clockwork recovery. Do i get that from the marketplace? If I don't have it is the process more complicated?
[Captivate Android Development] JFX:
You can find it here on these forums in android development. It's a great little tool, flash it with a little zip file, by putting it (named update.zip) on to your root dir, then flashing by reinstalling packages in recovery mode (vol buttons and power button from phone off).. I use it daily for flashing modems, roms, and sgstools for kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
you have to have it. yes it is in the app market (you have to download rom manager and it puts on clockwork recovery automatically when you start up rom manager)

or just go to where pbclst says to go below my post here

[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
OK, I've downloaded that update.zip file.

So, before I do anything... I just want to be sure I know all the correct steps needed:

I need to put that update.zip file in the root of my SD Card

Go into recovery mode & reinstall packages

Get Android ID Changer & save my ID (Optional)

Then put the new ROM (still zipped) in the root of my SD Card

Go into recovery mode again

This time it should look different because I have this clockwork thing?

reinstall packages again (choosing the Paragon zip obviously)

It will reboot & I should now have Paragon

Use TiBU to restore my programs & whatnot

Finished

Is that right? Do i need to have the SIM card pulled out?

Regarding the OCR I mentioned earlier, I searched around my previous posts & the full name of it is: TGA_Gunnman's "GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Models"

Bill
[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
I would put the new ROM on your SD card the same time you put the update.zip.

Take care of the Android ID part first ( I've never had to do this)

1. Reboot in recovery

2. Select reinstall packages ( may have to do this twice to get the green recovery)

3. Select install from zip file

4. Choose Select zip from SD card

5. Choose yes.

When prompted, reboot system and you'll reboot on Paragon.
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
no once you get into the green clockwork text you want to install zip from sd card, not reinstall packages. then select the rom zip then your done

each device has an android id that is unique. Flashing changes it. You can get by without experiencing any issues. Some apps, use that id
