You could try ... when the phone is booting and trying to catch it before it freezes is spam the heck out of the command adb reboot download then after hitting the enter button hit the up arrow and keep repeating until either the phone a) hopefully goes into download mode or b) freezes and throws the error.

Who knows.. might get lucky. :D :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsamxoxo:
it connects even though the phone is frozen. I'm heading over to "The Shack" pretty soon and just making a jig.

Thanks for all your help everyone. :D

Edit: Just confirming that with much dedication and a steady hand I finally have my captivate up and running with the help of the resistors. I also flashed the 3 button fix stock rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
Well, I kept trying the least invasive methods first. Tried to reflash Firebird. Then went adb and such. In the end, it was pretty clear that it had hung at the lagfix correction, and I was dealing with a file system error. I was eventually able to get into download mode. The hardest discovery was finding that I had gotten the wrong drivers from samsung. The ones in the [stock rom] odin master clear page were what I should have been using. When I loaded those, the computer recognized that I had a phone and not a "serial gadget" and then I knew I was close. Odin finally saw the phone, and a couple tries at "light" re-stocking failed at file analysis, so I did the repartition (aha, file system error), and it shot through the whole process and I had my phone back and flashed to Serendipity in about 20 minutes.

But I would like to know about the red menu. That was unexpected (blue for standard, green for cwm).

No need for a jig. I had access to some phone functions, most importantly, download mode.

Your best best is to pick up LauncherPro or ADW and customize it to look like Blur. Blur is a framework that runs deep into Android; it can't easily be ripped out and put on the G2. And XDA has been an HTC-centric forum for years; it's not a kind place to anything non-HTC. No one here will bother to do it.

And Christ people, chill out. There are a lot worse questions to be asked.
[Vibrant General] takato23:
Hey, there's any way to get full web navigation? like in a desktop? there are a lot of pages that i can't see as a pc and I have to enter with anonymouse surf. I've tried to change skyfire or dolphin options but it keeps happening
[Vibrant General] T313C0mun1s7:
The primary suggestion here will be to change your user-agent string. In fact there are several ways to do this, but it is not a complete solution. For example here is the user-agent string you would see right now from me if you were indeed a web server and I requested a page from my browser:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.597.67 Safari/534.13

As you can see it includes a lot of information. It has what browser I am using, but it contains more too. Dolphin, Firefox Mobile ( was Fennec), and Skyfire only let you change the browser portion, and not the operating system. So it may look like you are using a desktop browser, but the actual operating system will still be apparent.

For a full breakdown of your user-agent string visit http://www.useragentstring.com/index.php

Try this on both your desktop and your phone and compare.

For example my mobile user-agent string is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Linux armv7l; rv:2.0b8) Gecko/20101221 Firefox/4.0b8 Fennec/4.0b3

For some (VERY AMUSING) history read here: http://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/
[Vibrant General] takato23:
Ok i've used about:useragent command in phone browser.. but now i don't know what to do hehe
[Vibrant General] T313C0mun1s7:
Well, like I said. I think you can only change the browser portion and not the operating system. So it is not going to work if you want to actually see full desktop versions of the pages.

It is up to the web developer to create different pages based on who/what is visiting. Not everyone does, but the ones that go through the trouble of making separate pages for mobile would rather have it filter based on a small handful of operating systems then tracking every possible browser and version. So basically if your user-agent says you are using a mobile OS like iOS, Android, WinMo, WebOS, Symbian, Blackberry, etc . . . then you will be fed a mobile page.

My phone will not boot into Android. I get the Phone-!-Computer screen. Not sure what happened to get me here. I think I did a factory reset with voodoo enabled but I am not sure, because... well.... I thought i disabled it.

Anyway I can get into download mode, but not e2 recovery. I have tried both Odin One Click and Odin (which I have both used before, and both are I897UCJF6) while in download mode. But both would just get stuck. Not sure what to try next for whatever reason it just will not work.

Odin One Click gets stuck at

"<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!"

And Odin gets stuck at

"<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> sbl.bin"

In odin I flashed just the PIT to make sure it was communicating and it worked fine.

I let both sit for a very long time, and have also tried 're-partition' in Odin.

I have tried, re-installing drivers in device manager, even though when I plug in the phone with odin open it comes up as recognized. I have tried different USB ports (I don't have another cable to try, and I don't have another PC to try).

Anyone have any ideas on what else I can try?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
If you don't have a build 1010 phone, then take the battery, sim card, and memory card out. Start odin 1 click. plug your usb cable into the computer. Put only the battery back into the phone. Hold down just the volume up and down buttons and plug the usb cable into the phone. start odin. It should complete this time.

Is it safe to use the Rogers' RUU from here: htc.com/ca/support/magic-rogers/downloads/ (HTC MAGIC REQUIRED SOFTWARE UPDATE) if I want to revert to the original rom. Right now I have CM6 right now with hboot as 1.76.2007, and radio as 3.22.20.17.

Will this this brick my Rogers HTC Magic 32a, or do I have to change the radio, recovery, or anything else before I do this?

Thanks,

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I haven't had pleasant experiences with RUU's. You'd be better off finding the SAPPIMG's and flashing it from hboot. If the RUU fails, for whatever reason, your phone will get stuck in "RUU" mode.

When the charger is pluged in, the touch screen is way more sensitive when the tablet is

laying down. I wonder how that is?? Pinch to zoom works so much better.
[G Tablet General] thebrain73:
I think it has to do with grounding. When the tab is plugged in it has the most effective grounding path. The second best would be when you are holding it with two hands, and the worst would be when the tablet is laying on a non conductive surface. I think capasetive screens process inputs faster when there is a solid ground for the circuit to reference.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niujie68:
I think the recommended way is to go back to stock and flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CHorden:
It is recommended to return to stock first.

Having said that, I have flashed about 100 times, and never returned to stock first. If the ROM has a wipe, and no wipe option, just choose the WIPE version, and you should be OK.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
If your NEW to flashing - I would suggest going back to stock.

I would read the instructions of the chef/developer on if you need to disable any type of lagfixes etc before attempting to flash over the top of another ROM.

And the reason for flashing back to stock as it will wipe all remnants of the prior ROM (where it matters) from your phone letting you kind of start "fresh". This prevents any type of conflicts (i.e. forgot to disable the prior lagfix) and soft bricking your phone.

So - flash away as long as you understand how to recover from a failed flash. :eek::D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
Do not use odin 1 click if you have a build 1010 phone. There is a longer route you have to take to get back to stock. In general, just erase all user data from clockwork if you have the red recovery and are moving to another rom with the voodoo lagfix. Save odin for brick situations or if you are having problems.

[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
I used to be a big android fan, and I'm still thinking about getting an atrix, but with android you always have to ask yourself, what is the point of all that great hardware if the OS isn't optimized for it.

I've had a Vibrant and an N1. I LOVED my N1, and I wish I still had one, but I quietly ran out of things I wanted to do with it. I couldn't find a single music player I liked and I quickly ran out of games I wanted to play.

[Venue Pro General] ZappiestOyster:
Guys, I know I sound like something that rhymes with "bass sole," but if you buy a $500 equipment that you're going to carry around for at least a year, please buy some replacement warranty/insurance!

This is a basic conversation that one of my friends had with his to-be-wife:

Guy: Baby, I want to talk to you about something, but it may piss you off. So much so, that you may be tempted to call the marriage off.

Gal: Baby, I'm here for you. You can tell me whatever.

Guy: Let's sign a pre-nup.

Gal: [Throwing some random things at the guy] FU. If you can't trust me now, how can I trust you to trust me after we get married. This thing is for life. Signing a pre-nup is like forecasting - you're, like, betting on us getting divorced.

Guy: Look, biaaaatch. Calm down. You don't get out on the road in your brand new Toyota Yaris without any insurance. Betcha that car feels the same about you. It isn't about how much money I make. I just want to ensure we don't financially screw each other's lives if we get divorced. Hedging, contrary to people's beliefs, minimizes risks.

Two days later the gal came back, and now both of them are happily married... with a pre-nup.

Moral of the story is, buy insurance or suffer the consequences. If you broke your screen and don't have insurance, I don't think Dell's going to help you. Warranty, generally, doesn't cover equipment damaged due to user's mishandling.

LOL i was about to say i have a fascinate, but it would be redundant because I am posting in a Fascinate forum.

Hi guys, first post, thought I would post first about something not help related, but my phone is messed up.

I rooted my phone with 1 click root from android central, then i flashed it using odin and backed up my rom ( i guess stock touchwiz) with CWM from rom manager. Then i installed this theme: AOSP REVOLUTION a port on androidforums the adress is /fascinate-all-things-root/251094-theme-port-aosp-revolution.html ( after androidforums obviously, i cant post links!) ) -_-

I installed it by downloading the zip, renaming it to update, and launched CWM recovery and ran apply sd update.zip. Then i rebooted my phone the verizon logo flashed for a long time then the screen went black, and when i pressed the power buton all that happened is that the 4 buttons would light up.

Can anybody help me, sorry if i pissed you off because of my uber-noobness, but i just got the phone a month ago and rooted it yesterday. I made sure i followed the direction so my phone does mess up, but something went wrong after installing that theme. Thanks a FREAKING GAGILLION if you can help! :o

PS Another noob move but how do I run the backup that i made? sorry for my noobness if it offends u. :o
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
If you have ClockworkMod recovery installed, you just need to boot into it and restore your backup. Shut down the phone. Hold both volume up and down and then press power. When you see the Samsung logo, release power but keep holding the volume buttons. It'll boot into standard recovery. Select apply update.zip and it'll boot you into Clockwork. Should be easy to figure out how to restore from there.

If this doesn't work, then you don't have clockwork installed, or installed correctly. There should be a recent post on installing a new red clockwork. Follow that and then follow the instructions above except for applying update.zip. The new red clockwork boots directly, without going through the stock blue recovery first.

Alternately, there are various all-in-one Odin packages floating around here that will return you pretty much back to stock.
