[Captivate General] dsu:
Do I not use that link in general, or just not to use the firmware given at the bottom? the steps are correct though, no?

also from my searching.

i can put my phone back to my backup point (just after rooting) through clockworkmod. Woud this change my rom back to stock from? how about kernel and modem and all that? would that all get reversed back to my backup point? meaning it will basically be a stock phone. But I think also read somewhere that my kernel and modem does not get changed back to rogers original one. is there a way to do it?

I then found this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846501

that says i need the original rogers rom for the captivate by the links there no longer work for download. Also on that thread, it was mentioned that the AT&T logo will still come up on startup, which would not be a good idea if i had to send my phone in for warrenty.

I then looked at : http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I896

Here it tells me to flash to a i9000 before i reflash to a rogers firmware in order to remove the at&t logo. it also provides me with a link for the " Official Rogers Stock ROM ", but according to somebody on the first link i posted here, it isnt the "official rom"

Any ideas?
[Captivate General] Akalon:
This is where I got the stock 2.2 file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905042.

Edit: I have flashed a bunch of times and have never got stuck with the AT&T startup after flashing back to stock with the odin file.
[Captivate General] dsu:
Thanks. Do you know if my kernel is going to go back to stock too or is it going to remain the same as the custom rom one?
[Captivate General] Akalon:
If you use the odin file the kernal and modem will revert back to stock.
[Captivate General] dsu:
Thanks. So im assuming now that the only time my kernel and modem wont go back to stock is when i flash with CWM. correct?
[Captivate General] Akalon:
I haven't tried using the CWM file in that link so I'm not sure if it contains the kernel and modem. As far as custom roms go most if not all come packaged with the kernel and modem of choice.
[Captivate General] dsu:
So.. When I do a "master clear" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989...

Would everything be wiped? I read somewhere that when you do a "wipe" from your settings it only clears user settings or something. What would a "wipe"

from the recovery menu do?

I flashed to a different rom today thinking it will help my battery issue. When i am flashing from one rom to the next, i do a restore back to my backup before i flash to a new rom. Is this the correct method? or am i supposed to wipe beforehand? The reason i ask is because this is my 2nd rom and my battery issue still seems to be there. I tried other methods of fixing hte battery but nothign seems to work. When i looked into root explorer, i see that there are a lot more files now everywhere, than when i first started. would some of them be from my previous rom? if so how do i remove them?
[Nook Color General] FletchF:
How does a rooted NC (or any wifi-only android device) generate an IMEI?

I am trying to use a beta version of an app that is restricted by the developer based on IMEI. Problem is, the reported IMEI on my rooted NC seems to change once a day or so. Why is this? Where does this IMEI come from in the first place? Any way to fix it so it doesn't keep changing?
[Nook Color General] BigBadger:
IMEI

I can't imagine that the IMEI reported by software running on the Nook Color is valid under any circumstances.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Equipment_Identity

"The International Mobile Equipment Identity or IMEI is a number, usually unique, to identify GSM, WCDMA, and iDEN mobile phones, as well as some satellite phones."

Would not seem to apply here. Also, the number can only be changed with special hardware/software so the fact that the number 'changes' makes it suspect.
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
Actually, you're probably using a Nooter'ed Nook with my hacked framework.jar. It generates an IMEI randomly (which is enough to get a valid Android ID), but I never got around to making it save since the Market worked fine after generating it once.
[Nook Color General] silivrenion:
This needs to be fixed, since some apps check the IMEI and act as if the app has never run before based on that info.
[Nook Color General] doctorded:
I second that! I bought ExZeus from Hyperbox, and works great but needs to download the last 100K before playing the game. When I emailed support this is what they said:

Hello,

Apparently your device is maybe generating a new IMEI everytime you start, are you trying to run the game on a Nook by any chance ? This is a known issue with the Nook, B&N does not want their device to run Android market games, if not, then please be sure you have a valid IMEI ( check it from your phone setting), some applications from the market have the bad habit to crash the IMEI and it will not be reported correctly.

So you want me to proceed the refund ?

Kind Regards,

HyperDevbox Support
[Nook Color General] silivrenion:
Well, this is not a Barnes and Noble problem.. this is kind of a problem the dev community created, and I sort of feel like we need to fix it.
[Nook Color General] azitnay:
Perhaps you guys could set the IMEI to 000000000000000 (which is what Android emulators typically return), or 111111111111111, or something predictable? We've already had one user contact us about a randomly changing IMEI on a rooted Nook, and it would be nice to have a predictable way to fall back to MAC address.

Drew
[Nook Color General] FletchF:
FWIW, this is no longer an issue for me since I switched to CM7 which reports an IMEI of (null). In my case, the randomly changing IMEI was only with rooted stock.
[Nook Color General] silivrenion:
That doesn't exactly help the rest of us who just use the auto-nootered builds because they're easier.
[Vibrant General] p00fz:
I'm new here and was wondering if someone with more knowledge than myself could possibly help me. I've been trying all morning to download and upgrade Froyo for my Vibrant through kies mini. It took me awhile before finding out I had to use the TW Launcher to get it working, but after that I got it to download just fine. After it downloads thru kies, my phone gets this little warning sign that says "downloading, do not turn off target!!!" and has a "men at work" kinda symbol with the little android dude shoveling some stuff. And on kies it says it's starting to "upgrade", but after a minute or so of it sitting there doing nothing it goes to another screen that says:

"Result

SGH-T959 could not be upgraded.

1. Detach and reattach the mobile phone's battery.

2. Reboot the mobile phone, and then try the upgrade again.

*if the Mobile phone fails to reboot, please use "mobile phone emergency recovery".

I am able to reboot the phone, I took the battery out after shutting it down and tried again, got it downloaded and the same thing happened again.

I'm at a loss for what to do now. Can anyone please help me?

Thank you in advance!
[Vibrant General] suchavibrantthang:
someone posted this in one of the threads. not sure if this is correct, but you should wait for the OTA update which is "official"
[Vibrant General] p00fz:
but the thing posted throught t-mobile says "we are not releasing this OTA, you need to d/l thru kies"

Am I missing something???
[Vibrant General] suchavibrantthang:
well i guess a lot of people were misinformed. i personally am not gonna do the update, but you should ODIN back to stock 2.1 JFD or JI6 and go from there. or contact tmobile once you're back to stock.

sorry
[Vibrant General] p00fz:
I am stock. The only thing I've ever done to it is the JI6 OTA Update.
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:

[Vibrant General] RoyLoo:

[Vibrant General] Phrack:
I had the same problem at first - I was upgrading from stock, non-rooted ji6. It just died during the download process and phone would only boot to the black screen of death men at work" kinda symbol with the little android dude shoveling some stuff. I pulled the battery, put it back in, re-connected phone and held down volume up and volume down. I was able to use emergency recovery, the upgrade process completed and I am now on ka6. I guess this is a glitch with kies or maybe kies+ka6 upgrade. I was using XP PRO SP3 but others running Vista and 7 have reported similar problems.

I have also read that there are problems upgrading from jfd and it's recommended to upgrade to ji6 then ka6 if you're going to use kies.
[Vibrant General] p00fz:
interesting... So when It freezes like that, I shouldn't close out of everything and reboot my phone. I should leave the kies thing up, and use the emergency recovery?

But the consensus seems to be that I should just root and flash a 2.2 rom, eh?
[Vibrant General] onecrane:
I'm getting almost the same thing on my T959 through Kies Mini, except I never even get to the download, just straight to the detach/reboot instructions. What a waste of time.

I have that problem in my house, but nowhere else. Probably signal related. I'll be surfing the web, downloading a file, whatever, and the H will switch back to 3G and the connection will go idle, but I don't think that the idleness is caused by the switch to 3G, I think the switch to 3G is caused by the idleness, and the idleness is caused by weak signal or malfunctioning cell tower. Something like that.

I was not able to find the answer on the forum, thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Unless you have already installed clockworkmod, you'll have to backup and restore everything. If you don't know what clockworkmod (CWM) is, you don't have it.

You might want to consider to immediately install 2.6 in CWM, to easen future update processes.

When you flash a new rom through CWM, it doesn't wipe the one previously installed, but rather upgrades it. It's always recommended to create a nandroid backup (inside CWM too) first in case things go wrong.

Can we get an English translation please?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbloom:
Translation:

When I had the myTouch 3G Slide, I experienced similar issues with my proximity sensor. It seems that if you are within one foot of the proximity sensor, it will trigger and turn the screen off. I'm assuming they you dropped the call because they have AT&T as a carrier and obviously every call made to an AT&T phone drops. So you know, if you need the location of the proximity sensor, it is near the top left corner of the phone.

Yeah. I put that much effort into it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
Punctuation is such a useful thing.

For example "I helped my uncle Jack, off a horse."

Now read the previous quoted sentence without a comma.

Sorry to be off topic and such but I'm sure there's a way to config the proximity sensor if they're being a pain in the ass... maybe someone can develop a screen lock while in calls that re-opens the phone when the user slides it?
