sd will not work ever!!!

Ive tried all that I know this was the last thing I've tried and it didn't solve it.

If you're running Windows 7, here's how I was able to recover the bad SD card format:

start, run, cmd <enter>

diskpart

list disk

select disk X (where X is the SD card)

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=fat

assign

exit

any suggestions???

I am going to try to roll out another image tonite with the fix. It's not the sdcard. It's the image.
[Nook Color Android Development] mckooter:
flashed once, seems /boot didnt go well, it couldnt mount and it wouldnt boot to anything, trying again

i did,

format:

/boot

/system

/data

install zip

wipe /cache

then it semi-bricked, am i missing something

EDIT: nope, its dead(ish) dont feel like dealing with it tonight, maybe i will try to recover tomorrow, god i love the sd boot cause im not even worried that my NC wont boot at this point
[Nook Color Android Development] madfatter:
i am in same boat. it is an easy fix just download his previous version with sotck froyo and stock on it and wipe and reflash. I am not sure why it isnt working for us.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
ok... a little confusion, so I'm hoping you guys can clarify. I'm currently on a fully wiped stock 1.01.

My goal: A flawless install of this custom Froyo build on emmc -- with working sdcard, mounted media, and everything else.

1) I have downloaded the 0.6.6 image and burned it to SD

2) I downloaded the vold files from post #151

3) I plan to use CWM to do the formats, install 0.6.6 from SD, then copy the vold.fstab to /system/etc

Q1: Do I need to do something with uRamdisk? (as mentioned in Post #170)

Q2: Any additional steps or settings I need to set right away, or in a particular order?

Q3: Will any/all of these "issues" be avoided if I wait for your next build tonight?

Thanks for everything guys, you rock! :)
[Nook Color Android Development] madfatter:
I reverted back to the stock nookie .59 and flashed .66, I am going to try to dd over the system and data from this custom .66 release. Currently copying over img's to sd. will update and let you know how it goes.
[Nook Color Android Development] madfatter:
that worked. seems something wasnt working with my boot partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
Three problems remain for me:

1) Can't get CWM to work -- I installed from within ROM Manager, but it wont boot into CWM recovery mode.

2) XDA App requires login every time, and then causes endless FC's when trying to open threads -- DOH!

3) The new web-based market shows all the apps, but it doesnt list my device to push an install. It shows the "LogicPD Nook Color (Zoom2)" device from my old Eclair build -- it's grayed out -- but, it doesn't show nothing for this new Froyo build. How do I force-add this "new" device to be able to remotely push installs?

Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Did you format cache? Did you boot from the sdcard that you burnt? The sdcard has clockwork recovery already. This was not really designed to be loaded from CWR on the internal memory.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
I've got my Optimus T flashed with the void ROM now and I'm loving it. I've been playing around now with the boot animation and I notice that now there is an animated version of the LG logo that comes after the static logo and before the bootanimation.zip. I've got the bootanimation.zip figured out, but I'd prefer to go straight from the static LG logo to the beautifully simple "void."

Does anyone know where this animated logo is located and how it can be changed or removed? Thanks in advance.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
Answering my own question.

The images are in /bootimages named opening_0[1-8].rle. These are rle encoded raw RGB files. See to565.c in the android git tree for some details on that RLE format.

Trying now to see if getting rid of those files gets rid of the boot animation...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
Looks like these files are written anew every time from the boot.img. I have found how to unpack the boot image from /dev/mtd/mtd0, but I'm working right now on how to make a new one...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] irondevil:
the boot images are in ramdisk you need to unpack boot.img modify ramdisk and repack boot.img

the command to unpack on linux is "./unpack-bootimg.pl boot.img" you need perl libraries installed
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
Yep, I can unpack the boot image and change the images but once I repack it, how can I flash it to the appropriate place?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] irondevil:
take commands what you need from an update-script of a custom rom and flash it trough recovery
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Stumpalump:
Any updates on this? I would also like to know an easy way to remove this animation.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Stumpalump:
This sounds like the easy answer. Anyone with more knowledge willing to do this for me? I guess we're just talking about a zip to flash to remove boot/shutdown animations and nothing else.

What is the best thinnest case for the samsung captivate!
[Captivate Accessories] MobileNick:
Don't know what your parameter for "thin" is but I found the TPU cases from ebay to be the best. I had tried a BodyGlove case and a generic silicone case but found them too thick (the silicone case looked ugly too IMO - dull & attracted too much lint). The TPU case I got from ebay has been great - glossy yet grippy. Adds about a mm top & bottom.
[Captivate Accessories] jumpdawg:
I have tried three different cases and found that thr "Body Glove" seems to be the one I end up using the most. It is very thin, tight fitting and feels good while holding the phone. There are really several good choices around. This is of course IMHO.
[Captivate Accessories] itsxiao:
i use the bodyglove case with the diagonal lines on the back. my brother uses the sedio one that snaps in 2 and has the smooth body. the body glove is a little thinner and looks more stylish. both are around 15-20 dollars. i prefer the body glove one because of the back actually, just adds a little touch to an otherwise plain looking phone. both are nice because they dont pick up dust and lint like the cheapo 2 dollar ones. you can tell quality by the seams of the rubber and smell. you get what you pay for. if your phone is worth 400, why spend 2 dollars on a case right?
[Captivate Accessories] chrisz5z:
How much protection are you wanting exactly?
[Captivate Accessories] Hondo209:
Just picked up the Body Glove yesterday. Really like it, doesn't collect dust and very thin. Good fit also.

Cheap, looks good (can't really see the pattern except at a certain angle), protects great, and is the thinnest protective case I've seen.
[Captivate Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
Check these out. They are not as sticky as regular silicone skins and they are fairly thin + cheap.

Body Glove is pretty darn thin. I have one but I replaced it with the Otterbox Commuter, just to change things up. Commuter is a bit thicker but I don't mind it at all so I am sticking with it. I do recommend the Body Glove though. Good sleeve.
[Captivate Accessories] artvandalay22222:
Plus one for body glove.

Its perfect. Smooth enough that it comes out of pocket easy, but grippy enuff that I can throw it on dashboard without it flying off with the first turn I make.

I also think it looks great, fits perfectly, and I can hold the phone without dropping it-which is the reason I wanted it in the first place
[Captivate Accessories] neotekz:
are you looking for a hard case or skin? body glove or a tpu skin is your best bet for the thinnest protection but if you want a hard case then check out Seidio innocase surface
[Captivate Accessories] rye&ginger:
I just got a Xmatrix case (I think its a knock off as its not rubberized anywhere) but the fit is great and gives you a near naked feel. Covers the back and adds a bit to the front edge so the screen does not touch a flat surface if you lay it face down.

[Captivate Accessories] G-Man.:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290487171195&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I just ordered this case - its the slimmest/nicest looking imho, I am currently using the otterbox defender case - which i like, its a bit on the bulky side, but does offer excellent protection - my only real complaint with it is that its a pain to get the the battery if needed - have to take the rubber off, then separate the case and remove the phone from it to gain access to the back cover...
[Captivate Accessories] bay_wolf:
Looks just like a TPU case which if you don't mind having a not as fancy case you can get the Amzer one on amazon for $5 shipped and the knockoff ones on ebay for about $3-4 shipped. But the case you linked to is one very nice looking case.
[Captivate Accessories] rizzo269:
All nice looking cases. I may have to try the TPU out. Looks nice.
[Captivate Accessories] Enhanced:
+1

That Amzer case does it's job very well. It protects, looks good, thin and is subtle in a good way. The fact that it is now ~$6.00 makes it an absolute steal. I usually don't buy cheap stuff for my phone (or for anything for that matter) but this case performs like a $20 case.

Only issue I have with it is that mine seem to be less snug than it was when I first got it. I only take off my case when I have to do a battery pull so it's a bit surprising that it got loose so easily. I recently bought a Otterbox Commuter to replace this case because I was getting bored with it but I wouldn't say I changed because it was necessary; it was just cause I was bored and I found a good deal for it.
[Captivate Accessories] destrorox:
+1 for the xmatrix case. It's a hard case but very slim and is a good fit without any movement or shuffling. Plus, there is a minor lip on the front so you can rest it face down.

It snaps on in the back...just one piece.
[Captivate Accessories] nmiklasz:
Body glove for sure best slim streamline case

dont get the $1 rubber cases off amazon if you want a thin one. those things add way too much bulk to the phone.
[Captivate Accessories] WirelessMike:
Amzer Luxe vs. Otterbox Commuter

I have the Amzer Luxe case and the Otterbox Commuter for the Captivate and they are both pretty good cases.

The Amzer Luxe is probably the better of the 2, but they don't make a nice, simple, solid color or just a plain clear. Their only really great case for the Captivate has argyle print on it. Obviously I bought it anyway and it fits perfectly, isn't a dust and lint magnet like typical cheap silicone cases, and even covers the side buttons. I REALLY like this case but found it hard to get past the cheesy argyle print at first. Thankfully, the pattern is VERY subtle (at least this "smoke" version is).

The Otterbox Commuter is a 2-piece case that does come with a screen protector, but it's a typical decal-style protector not attached to any part of the case. The case is a light, flimsy black silicone (the typical kind that attracts dust and lint) covered by a hard plastic shell. This case is a very attractive, simple black with a very tasteful design. The black silicone "padding" is exposed on the top, bottom and just along the sides of the screen. The top and bottom pull away easily, but do their job (the hard plastic cover keeps everything in place snug). There is a headset jack "plug" on the top that can cause the exposed part of the top of the case to flip up awkwardly when you take it out of your pocket. Otherwise, this is an excellent case.

Overall, I definitely prefer the Amzer Luxe, but the Otterbox Commuter is almost as nice and doesn't make the phone look like a toy.

I have 2 friends who use the body glove case. It is very nice, as well, but I like having those side buttons covered (just a personal preference). Both the Amzer and the Otterbox do this, but the Body Glove doesn't.
[Captivate Accessories] jsbac:
Anybody using case with the Samsung car dock? I have a cheap black, relatively thin plastic case that I bought at a mall kiosk right after I bought the phone. I paid about $8 for it, probably a little more than I could have gotten it online for, but I like instant gratification. I like the case -- it's has remained snug through all of the battery pulls.

Just bought a car dock to use for Navigation, but I have to pull my phone out of the case in order to dock it. Not a big deal, but I'd rather not have to do that.

[Captivate Accessories] alkatz:
I like the Defender but cant use it. The bottom raised edge makes it hard to get to the buttons. It covers part of it and makes it a pain to get to them.

[Captivate Accessories] REDMASTA:
I tried a couple cases and finally got the body glove case. All I can say is awesome! Thin, fits great and looks like it was meant to come on the phone. It's also the perfect combination of grip/hardness so that you feel like you have a more secure hold on it but it still slides easily in and out of your pocket.
[Captivate Accessories] WickedNite:
Tbh, I bought body glove like 4 months ago but then I returned it cause I saw seidio active x and gave it try. But after few months of using it, I felt like it's somehow bulky and it removes the thin feature of captivate so I came back to body glove. What's better is that it costs less now, $11 compared to $24.95 when I bought it before.

Prob too late but for anyone still looking

i like the xmatrix case but the design seems just too much for me

http://www.obostore.com/imak-hard-case-simple-fiexible-slim-for-samsung-captivate-p-2774.html

i like this one cause one piece snap on, hard case, and simple. problems is that dumb imak branding and it seems hard to get... if i get it prob just put decals over it.
[Captivate Accessories] StunGod:
Another vote for the Body Glove. it makes the phone much easier to hold, doesn't add a lot of bulk, and doesn't take away from the look of the phone. I haven't dropped the phone off a building yet, so I don't know if it's the best protector but it works for me.

[Captivate Accessories] Dabadgar:
The Body glove case (TPU) is really nice. I like that its not like silicon and has some rigidity but isnt stiff. It Puts a little wear on your phone tho so don't be surprised if the top plastic isnt perfect when you take it off. I personally love the slimness of the phone so I keep it off most of the time I'm not scared of it falling.
[Captivate Accessories] NikRat:
Incipio makes a great hard 2 piece case. I have the black one, which has a satin finish. Easy to hold, and it protects the phone well.

[Captivate Accessories] dank8885:
I got the body glove case and an invisishield screen protector, definitely not regretting that decision. The case is nice and thin and does not get stuck in my pocket or hold lint at all. The screen cover is also great, I've had it on nearly a year and it still looks great and is sticking rather nicely.

[Captivate Accessories] darkdragone:
If you are talking about a snap on protective case I'd go with otterbox. Personally I have the defender series, its not the thinnest but it has the best protection. The thinnest looks to be the commuter series

Now as for carrying cases a snap on belt clip comes with the otterbox defender, but for thin I'd just get the body glove case
