[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loggik:
Those are the ones you need. Dunno if you have x64 or x32 Windows, but that file should have both.

Also, be sure to run ADB more than once. If you get Device Not Found, do not close the command prompt window, try unplugging and replugging the phone and wait for Windows to make it's hardware detected noise, then try again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Yeah, the jig needs to be on pins 4&5, closest ones to headphone port iirc. Never had to use one personally but pretty sure that is what I've read.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
jig can and will turn your phone in if the wrong prongs are touched
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loggik:
Thread is getting off topic; there are more than three posts about the same fix without a reply from the OP. Give it a rest...

Anyway, any proper jig should, should, be made with an actual mini USB, not just shoving the resistors into the phone, though it would work, it's just a lot less safe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I have to agree with every one. I have had to make and use a jig. Sense I had it i tested all the how to's here and if you are not touching the right pins in the port (i highly suggest using a USB plug in) then all it will do is turn it on. They have to be touching pins 4 & 5 otherwise it will just boot up
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miahsoul:
RGHHHHHHHH!!

I hear the sound that window makes when it detects the device, but ADB command prompt says error device not founddd.

Trust me, it's not the Jig, I've gotten it to start up to this screen 10 times with the closest to the jack.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericstewart22:
Have you fixed it yet?

I bricked my captivate pretty badly about 1.5 months ago too but i built a jig and fixed it. It doesn't sound like you've done that yet, though...

If i were you I'd build a jig and make sure the pins and resistances are correct and try again. I've heard the resistance from the skin on your fingers can affect it enough that it not work.

I attached a picture showing which pins to connect on a micro-usb "plug in"

Good luck,

Eric
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miahsoul:
I made a jig, just not with the USB one. :S

I'll probably just buy one off of Ebay for simplicity's sake and lack of interest of wasting more time. I spent more time :/

I've sold to quite a few on here for what it's worth.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loggik:
Never bought a jig... never really had to (I just got mine replaced under thirty days). I can't give feedback on someone I've never bought from, though he seems to have some considerable rep (positive feedback). I can recommend though, this http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=100

Though for considerably more ($13.00), I can guarantee that that one will work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Just curious. What revision is your phone, ie, look under battery near the serial # for 1008 or 1007, etc. Did button recovery/download work before? What ROM had you flashed before? I know that sometimes flashing an i9000 based rom screws up the button method. Just for kicks and giggles, try popping out the battery and SIM, hold Vol Down only, plug in USB, plug in battery and see what happens.

I have seen that happen in quite a while, but it's worth a shot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentfusion:
You have the drivers installed if ODIN recognizes that a phone is connected when you plug it in. If ADB says no devices are found, that means your phone isn't getting far enough into the booting process for ADB to detect it.

Which is strange, because typically if ODIN can detect it, ADB should too... the only thing I can imagine that's happening is that maybe you -don't- have the drivers installed and your PC is using some sort of incorrect generic driver.

We're not supposed to discuss warez here, but is your copy of windows pirated perhaps? Some of the performance editions, or "MEGA SUPER WINDOWS OMG" have a bunch of non-standard drivers that come with it, so windows may be incorrectly assigning USB Mass Storage Device drivers to your phone automatically.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marego1:
The SUPER Bricked Phone

I had the same problem with my Captivate (could not get passed File Analysis). What worked for me was rebooting my PC and then using a different USB port. If I used the same USB port even after a reboot ODIN didn't work.

Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djazin:
Jig and dl mode aside if you have odin up and running half way seeing that your able to get it recognized. Try the steps indicated in the previous posts from a base xp or longer shot try odin through ubuntu by installing it through wine, odin seems to be reading your drivers but adb might be conflicting with another application such as keis droid explorer ect... on my windows 7 installation adb couldnt grab a driver minus unknown, using base xp worked. Goodluck

First post guys -

I'll start off with what I'm running:

Unrevoked Root

Clockwork Mod 2.6.0.1

Toastmod SBC 4.3.2 More HAVS CFS Kernel

MikFroyo 4.4 ROM

Vanilla Lockscreen Mod

Custom Animations

Problem:

I've tried to flash a few themes now, the ones I desire to have working on the flat back or white theme for MikFroyo 4.4. Can't get any of them to work, I just bootloop. Although this is my first post, I've been messing around with my rooted phone since I got it on launch week... so, I like to think of myself as not much of an amateur. As frustrating as it is, I just can't get this work work correctly. Any suggestions?

Also, tried wiping/reflashing rom/reflashing kernel/flash theme and it still bootloops. Tried downloading the themes over several times thinking the files were corrupt - no dice. Is it because I have the custom animations/mods flashed on this rom that I can't install a theme?

Thanks a ton for reading.

- Rat Dog
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryandoubleu:
try this

Go into recovery and Wipe:All data/factory reset, data, cache, and Dalvik-cache.

do not reboot yet.

Flash MikFroyo 4.4 first and reboot it after into the ROM

Hold down the power-button and reboot into recovery

Flash any themes or animations you may want. (Note: always install themes before Vanilla Lockscreen or you will have to reset the phone again due to bootloops)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryandoubleu:
I think the bootloop happens....

I think the bootloop happens because Vanilla lockscreen removes some neccessary HTC Sense files for the lockscreen. So when you flash something over Vanilla lockscree, like a theme, it looks for the lockscreen file which has been replaced.

That was the same process that I went through because of bootlooping. I am by no means a developer but it was the only thing that made since to me as far as the bootloops were concerned.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I use CM7 nightly builds and I have bootlooped a couple of times. Try going to a backup that worked, and make sure its the original boot animation for that rom, go into recovery and clear your caches, then re-flash the rom, the re-do your animation; worked for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolishesh:

[Galaxy Tab General] conan1600:
Ok so I have another noob question. Do I need some kind of firewall and antivirus program on my tab? I mean I spent a ton protecting my laptops and desktops, so is the tab already somehow pretty well protected or do I need something?

And if so what do you recomend
[Galaxy Tab General] bpt888:
Get Lookout from market, it's free. Thats what I use as a antivirus program. It has some other extra features with it too.

By default Android does not accept connections from the outside unless you tell it to.

So for a firewall, to stop applications from accessing the internet (wifi or 3G) you can try Droidwall. It doesn't work with ClockWorkMod though because of the older version of busybox built in to it. So if you are not using ClockWork for your recovery, it should work.

There are very few (only heard of one so far) viruses that have hit smartphones as of yet. But it is good to be prepared.
[Galaxy Tab General] drksilenc:
you do NOT need an antivirus for an android device as it is present... All those reports you see of viruses on android are done by the company MAKING the antivirus software
[Galaxy Tab General] bpt888:
What do you mean it is present? I didn't know android came with antivirus software. Yes, I have heard teh argument that antivirus software company are the ones making the viruses. But the fact is ( whatever the truth is) if you get hit with one, its still a pain. Since its free for now, go for it.

PS. Viruses has been on a decline though for computers and none made for smartphones yet. Lol maybe symanctec is had to cut cost and got rid of their programmers. I know Mcafee just got sold to Intel. Or maybe they are all waiting for the right time to release them when everyone's guard is down. Do I smell conspiracy :rolleyes: Either eay, if the stuff on your phone is important, protect it.
[Galaxy Tab General] le3ky:
You don't need one.

bpt888, drksilenc didn't mean the antivirus app makers were making viruses, he said that they were the only ones reporting on them.

What has been reported so far have not actually been viruses. It seems you have fallen into the trap those who make apps like lookout want people to fall into.

They report on things like, apps requesting device id's etc. You can see that an app will do this by looking at the permissions it asks for. eg, no need for an "antivirus" app.

If you actually read the "virus" reports from these companies, you'll see nothing is needed.
[Galaxy Tab General] Geletis:
There are no viruses on Android.

None

Zero

Nil

Android anti-virus programs are a worthless waste. Actually less than worthless, as these useless programs just slow down your system for no benefit.

Android isn't Windows, it doesn't have holes the hackers can easily drive through.
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
If you concerned about your privacy install firewall (Droidwall for example) and tune its setting to block wallpaper or some other apps connecting to somebody you don't know.

Sometimes applications request internet access without good reason raising doubts in their purpose.

You will need to obtain root privileges to run firewall. Ironically this might lower your Tab protection against network intrusion. However, none of this is known threat unless you unknowingly install trojan and any other malware.
[Galaxy Tab General] xarthos:
No virus software needed. Seriously it is a waste of time.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Sorry, but this is just FUD.

Windows is far more secure than most people give it credit for - it's just that it is the target for 99% of all attacks because it is so ubiquitous.

If and when Linux achieves some sort of relevance on the average consumer desktop, I'd expect to see a lot more attacks targeted its way and a corresponding increase in security issues.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
I agree, but surely the way that Linux (and Android) is made makes it inherently more secure? Without root access there's not much that can be done to truly compromise a Linux system, and Android sandboxes everything
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I agree there's a certain degree of additional security provided by sandboxing, but we've already seen APKs (e.g. Z4Root) that can gain root access, so it's not infallible. It is one of the reasons that I use Chrome on all platforms - if you check out Pwn2Own, Chrome has yet to fail, and that it mostly due to sandboxing - however, it is not a panacea!

There is definitely an element of "security through obscurity" around non-Windows OS's. Note the use of the word "element" - I'm not saying that Linux or any other OS are insecure, just that they are attacked less than Windows.

The point is that modern Windows is far more secure than most people realise - any OS given the same amount of attention by the "bad guys" in comparison to others. Vulnerabilities exist in all OS's and will continue to found and exploited.

I'm in full agreement that currently the real security threats on Android are down to users not paying enough attention to the permissions that an app requests when it is installed, but this will likely change as Android gains popularity.

I do pay attention to the apps I install, so I personally don't feel the need for any kind of security suite on Android at present.

Dave

This might not be the right place, but I need some help. My friend was having me flash CM7 on his rooted EVO, and something went wrong and it is stuck looping the CM booot screen.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squick:
This issue has been plaguing me for weeks now.

When I take pictures while on a custom ROM, the pictures aren't visible on the card after viewing the first set on the computer. If I take pics after a fresh install, you can see them on the computer. After I disconnect and take more pictures and then connect to the computer, the pics aren't there. The weird thing is, I can see them on the phone. Then I finally found out that if I reboot the phone, I can then see them on the computer, WTF. Also when I take the second set, when I connect as a disk drive, the card comes up with a scan and fix error box.

I also restored my stock nandroid and everything works fine. I can take all the pics I want.

I've tried several roms and I'm exhausted. I'm also thinking it may have something to do with the card being partitioned. I have a 4gb, unpartitioned card, in my wifes phone and it's working fine. I had to buy her a new card and when I partitioned it, it did the same thing that mine is doing.

Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:

Have tried 5 different ones...this by far is the best of the bunch I've tried. I may end up grabbing a second case from them...the Standing / Easel cases look good as well. Might get one to swap out as need arises to go hands free, etc.
[Nook Color Accessories] bjkel:
I've ordered a flip case from JanoEdge. I figured even if I don't use the stand I'ld prefer to flip the top cover over rather than bending it back with the book style. I like how it protects the frame, I don't have a skin on mine.

Can't wait, I don't have a proper cover for my nook color, been using makeshift ones. These look great!
[Nook Color Accessories] greenmky:
Do these cases have the little bit of a cutout / opened up rectangle that the B&N cases have so you can hear the speaker better?
[Nook Color Accessories] bjkel:
They do, but with the flip cases the stand covers it when it's snapped close.
[Nook Color Accessories] greenmky:
Ok. How bad is the sound deadening from the stand? I'd love a stand up case but I would like to be able to hear the Nook speaker if I want to hear something. So far there seems to be this one and the Roocase that seem to do the trick, and the roocase lacks a cutout at all.
[Nook Color Accessories] bjkel:
I have read that it doesn't distort the sound, but wont know for sure till I get it. Can't remember where I read it, was searching around a few different places on the net for views of these cases. Can reply when I get mine, within a week or two I think (international shipping), unless someone else who has one answers in the mean time.
[Nook Color Accessories] greenmky:
I debated between this and the Roocase. Went with this one via Amazon with some GCs. $33 AC. Went with the JavoEdge Editor Flip.
[Nook Color Accessories] YodaEXE:
Ordered a Flip for myself as well. Don't know when it'll show up though, due to the weather in the midwest. It'll need to travel through much of that to get to me in Michigan. Can't wait for it though. I've resorted to carrying the NC around in the box it came in so that I can bring it to class with me!
[Nook Color Accessories] Bandage:
Using the stand case on my wife's NC...minimal sound distortion. It actually helps redirect the sound toward you in a way.
[Nook Color Accessories] greenmky:
I'm pretty happy with the JavoEdge editor. Magnetic clasp is nice, the sound is fine thanks to the hole cut in the case. All ports not blocked which is good. When you fold the top back, it does muffle the sound a bit more, but it works great sitting up and with the top flipped up (not folded behind it).
[Nook Color Accessories] fongg:
I am interested with this case as well. Can someone post an image of this flip case folded open (side view). I would like to know how thick it is with the stand folded.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Accessories] Zorkman:
I'm also interested, but am wondering how sturdy the covermaterial is:

will it protect the screen well enough if it e.g. fals on a stone/corner (and the obstruction hits the screen first)

is it more like hard plastic, or more like soft fabric (which will dammage the screen when it falls)
[Nook Color Accessories] dervish9:
does it come with a screen protector, my screen is a fingerprint magnet
[Nook Color Accessories] time pilot aka:
I have the same case (tweed version) and honestly don't like it at all. Functionally it's fine, but I hate how the edges that wrap around the screen are just slightly too small and so they don't stay square, but instead balloon out.. Also sticking anything other than loose sheets of paper in the pocket makes it too bulky to close. I love the magnetic "latch" though.

It does offer some significant protection, however. I have dropped my Nook from 5[ish] feet onto a hardwood floor, it landed on the bottom right exposed corner, and the device was a-okay. I'm certain if I had dropped it naked, the Nook would be dead.
[Nook Color Accessories] Taosaur:
I just ordered the Pioneer flip case in brown from JAVOedge's site. These are some very sharp looking cases with strong reviews on Amazon. They're the only cases I found that I really liked the styling--a nice, casual faux-vintage look, neither sporty nor girly (though the Cocoa Cherry Blossom case did tempt this hetero male) and few of them look like a day-planner from 1997. They also seem to add very little bulk, and are reported to be very comfortable in the hand while still protecting the NC.

The company's site has more styles than Amazon: http://www.javoedge.com/reflexeshop...odel.do?brandId=63&modelId=1026&category=1001
