You might consider just bricking it so it won't be obvious if/when they replace the screen and power it up. *IF* you choose to do so, you can put the phone in Download mode, start an Odin flash and then pull the cable. I'd imagine that standard procedure is likely to just use a jig and reflash it and not even look at what is on it.

When I go to training sessions with a particular St. Louis-based company I used a laptop for the training. Then 2 weeks later I had something else with them and by chance got the exact same laptop and they did not so much as delete the user profile since I had my server addresses coming up in Remote Desktop and MRU data was still in Explorer from looking at data on servers over VPN sessions. I helped them make sure that it got reinstalled by removing a handful of key Windows components so the system would not boot. This is the reason that I would recommend doing the same with your phone.

The problem is that when you return you phone, as I did with mine, you are giving AT$T everything on your internal SD card. In my case that included SMS backups, Titanium Backup files (including WiFi passwords and Google account settings), and all of the rest of your sensitive data on that chip. My new policy is to put all sensitive data on the external SD and just media on the internal.

While I can't take any responsibility for what you choose to do, if you have any other questions regarding this, feel free to ask or PM me. Good luck!

Well, the phone isn't being recognized by the computer anymore

Is there another way to erase the memory? I feel it vibrate when it turns on though.
[Captivate General] TommyZee:
They Probably Don't Care

Yes and No, they can but probably will just refurbish it to stock the same way we do, FLASH :eek: They have new phones to sell, Money in the Bank Frank :confused:
[Captivate General] z28james:
If you report your phone as "lost or stolen" but really did not lose it or have it stolen from you, you are committing insurance fraud. Do not do this. Its probably not the best idea to suggest this, either.
[Captivate General] mobileseq:
So, flashing the custom ROM and bricking it is not covered by the insurance? $125 to pay that deductible? Wow, higher than $50 for my older phone that got damaged by water.
[Captivate General] swedishcancerboi:
If your phone automatically goes into Debug mode with USB cable, couldn't you just use adb to wipe it? That's IF....of course....Using Odin one-click like previously mentioned is probably the best idea. Easy to get into D/L mode.
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
Why not just send it in? Will they not cover a phone which has been rooted? It is my understanding that insurance has no limitations (It's not a warranty issue).
[Captivate General] richb500:
How do you put account info and program settings, such as ctedit card app username/pwd on the external sd card?
[Captivate General] Nerz:
Exactly. If it's insurance it doesn't matter how they get it in. I personally don't send them anything by saying it got lost during insurance claims. i'm paying a deductible and a monthly fee, why should you salvage what you can when I have already payed you for a phone. Warranty is a different beast, then you would have to odin

I guess this is safe to post, since it's available free to all in Rom Manager now...

Thanks to JT1134, Punk.Kaos, and Adrynalyn we finally got a Froyo leak. Not like the Vibrant guys who get one every 2 weeks for the past 4 months, but I'll take what I can get.

So this ROM is based off of the EB01 leak released by Adrynalyn, it is Deodexed, and ready to go.

As with all my roms I have removed almost everything and allow you to add back only what you want.

This link is for the stand-alone version of the rom, it can be flashed without any additional files needed to have a running baseline.

Thanks to all of my seeders for the torrent, micdawg for the adbdev.com mirror, and to androiddoes for the bulk of the hosting.

***ROM MANAGER VOODOO INSTRUCTIONS***

If you are using the EB01 Voodoo Kernel you will need to revert the /system partition to rfs in order to use Rom Manager to apply updates or download the Rom.

1. Reboot into Red CWM by using the recovery power menu option or the three button bootup.

2. Choose "Voodoo"

3. Choose "/system lagfix off"

4. Reboot

This allows you to have the lagfix on all the other partitions, but still works with Rom Manager. After you've got the rom setup to your liking you can follow the same steps to turn the /system lagfix back on.

4.01 Changelog:

Added custom hosts file to block ads

Added necessary DRM files to allow music player to play more than one song

Added Accurate Battery and Power/Reboot options mods

4.1 Changelog:

Added appwidgetpicker.apk to collapse widgets into categories

Removed default Boot/shutdown animation files to lower download size and prevent mismatched video/audio

Removed additional Kies and Nuance files from stock rom

Removed additional unused files

Removed default sounds, use market apps to make/download custom tones, or download Stock Audio Pack from Extras in Rom Manager

Removed spanish language from text-to-speech, can be redownloaded from the market.

4.2 Changelog:

Now EB01 based, latest froyo leak

Included 5 lockscreen mod by sbrissen, choose in settings/display between puzzle, glass, aosp, epic, or rotary

Included long press search key for google voice search mod by dhoard

Included modded camera by Gizmodroid (power key takes picture/starts recording, removed lowbattery lock, added geotagging)

**If you install a custom theme without these options built in you will lose them. look for themes updated 2/15 or later.**

4.21 Changelog:

Fixed bootloop after /data wipe issues

Kanged bits from Superclean 2.4 to improve stability (Thanks Adrynalyn)

Removed various unnecessary files

Added audio back into core rom because of some issues it was causing

**If you want a a build without the audio files let me know and I can make an optional update that will remove them**

Confirmed the phone app still FC's after a *228 programming, which also kills the buttons somehow, but it does update your roaming, just reboot and you're ready to go.

What is the deal with Wifi tethering on Froyo?

Is everything working in this ROM?

Also, I have a Fascinate on VZ. Not rooted or anything. Is there a step by step somewhere to using this ROM?

Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] zachsx:
First you need to do some research about Roms and rooting. Pros and cons. Once you do that search how to root and installing roms

Does anyone know if USB Debugging is stable on this ROM? All the other DL30 ROMs I've tried have flaky USB mass storage/usb debugging where the usb debugging randomly switched off and the SD card mounts, which is really annoying for development.
[Fascinate Android Development] amcq1010:
Same here... Almost 1 hour and it's up to 88%, on wifi... just need this last 12% so I can leave the house. (don't want to try going wifi->3G after i've received this much).

Can't wait though... !!

EDIT: ... Just realized that was 88% of the 1st item... 18 more to go :)

I can only say that I have not had any issues with it. It mounted fine, and only when I told it to, debugging hasn't had any issues.

Only hang up was that I had to update the FW for the camera after install, but it was only once and took less than 2 min in all.

Thanks so much for your work.

Where did the boot animation kernel come from? I don't see anything from jt about it here. Just wondering...
[Fascinate Android Development] Horus.Campbell:
I love this ROM. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] darodeth:
Love the ROM! Thanks for all the hard work in developing it. I've had a couple issues and I'm sure it's a result of me playing around on my phone and not having an idea of what I was doing. There's only two things I've noticed and I was wondering if anyone else has been having issues:

1) When I connect my phone to my computer I'm not prompted with the option to Mount the phone and when I go to 'settings' the 'USB Settings' sub-menu is grayed out. When I go to My Computer the Phone is listed as a CD Drive and I can't open it up. As a result I can't push / pull files from my phone to my computer.

2) The GPS is very hit and miss ( A LOT more miss than hit ) on establishing my location. Is there a GPS fix or a Radio / Modem update I could do to fix this? When I open settings -> About phone I have the following information:

Hardware Version: I500.04

Model Number: SCH-1500

Firmware Version: 2.2.1

Baseband Version: S:i500.04 V.DL09

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

Build Number: SCH-I500.DL30

Is there anything that jumps out that might indicate a problem? I'm sure it's something I did to my phone prior to installing this ROM... I just don't know how to fix it. Any and all advise would be extremely appreciated. I apologize for being fairly new to these forums so if this post should have been made elsewhere please let me know.
[Fascinate Android Development] kr8r:
Just to be sure, when your phone is not connected via USB to a machine. Go under the settings > Applications > Development and ensure USB debugging is on. This I believe is pretty much a standard requirement for any of the 30 based updates that have been released.
[Fascinate Android Development] stayin100:
I could flash neon gt over this rom correct? Its not listed in rom manager

[Fascinate Android Development] ilogik:
Is there a problem with the camera? It says the firmware is out of date and if I want to update it and then it closes.
[Fascinate Android Development] Smitty9803:
It closes by itself or you cancel the update and it closes?

From what I understand, you can go ahead and update it. I did and haven't had any problems.

[Fascinate Android Development] CGriffiths86:
I did it earlier and it works..and at the point where it usually restarts the phone process crashes
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
From my experience, the battery seemed terrible the first days. In CWM, I cleared the battery stats, charged the battery overnight, then let it discharge nearly all the way before charging again. Today, I seem to be back to the normal battery life that I got on the stock 2.1 kernel. Once the custom kernels start to roll out, then we might start seeing some improvements in battery life.
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
Ok chief... Download the base rom and follow the directions as to where to place it. then once in Rom Manager do the 4.01 install when it asks what launcher you want just choose Launcher Pro, and FYI Launcher Pro is the Free Version and Launcher Pro Plus is the paid version. IF you do install a rom with out a launcher another way to push a apk on is by bluetoothing it to it.

Battery life

I have noticed that since I flashed Blackhole that my battery life has not been what I am use to. I used Spareparts to see what was going on and it is telling me that the phone is on 100% of the time. It never goes to sleep. I have tried rebooting several times, but it still is stuck on 100%. My battery is draining at about 10% per hour, but I am use to it draining around 5% per hour, obviously getting almost double the life out of my phone. Any ideas? I did wipe data and cache when I flashed the rom. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

BTW, I've been using Blackhole since September and think it has made my phone what this phone should be. I love it! Thanks for working so hard Sonofskywalker. Also, these people that can't understand that you were not "charging" for the rom for those first 48 hours are so irrational. People need to deal with their personal problems and not look for ways to take their anger out on others. A little self examination can go a long way. I spent time this morning doing just that. It works!

Force Close Loop?

I've recently run into a problem where I am getting a Force Close loop upon boot.

Started with Blackhole 4.01 working just fine

Had to wipe phone, Odin back down to DL09

Rooted DL09

Flashed (new) Clockwork Mod

Installing Blackhole 4.01 - would result in Force Close loop

Installing leaked DL30 Froyo (worked fine) --> Install Blackhole 4.01 (force close loop)

Installing SuperClean DL30 (worked fine) --> Install Blackhole 4.01 (force close loop)

Between all of the Blackhole 4.01 installs, I have tried both wiping / not-wiping data and cache - all same results.

Has anybody run into this problem? Any idea why I can get other DL30 ROMs to work, but not Blackhole? I can confirm that I am using green (non-voodoo) clockworkmod recovery apps.
[Fascinate Android Development] Smitty9803:
I had the same thing happening to me after flashing the stock DL30 leak. There's another thread about how to retrain your battery but from what I've seen it's hit or miss. In my case, it did not work, so I ended up wiping everything again and flashing this ROM (Blackhole.)

I followed bits and pieces of some posts in the thread about solving battery issuses. This is what I did and it worked perfect for me. MAKE SURE YOU'RE BATTERY IS FULL. I kept mine plugged in the entire time so it would stay close to 100%. Backup whatever apps you want to keep with Titanium/MyBackup, reboot into cwm (the red one, cwm_froyo.zip), wipe cache/dalvik cache and battery stats. Reboot phone and download Blackhole from Rom manager along with the options you so choose. Choose to wipe data/cache right before you flash the rom. Then go ahead and set it up the way you like.

*And be sure you have the new update.zip from red cwm in the clockworkmod folder renamed to "recovery-update.zip" before flashing into recovery from rom manager or you may have problems because apparently the green cwm is broken.
[Fascinate Android Development] Sublym1:
What the Phook?!?!?! :mad:

As I stated before in the other thread you were crying in, VIP members pay the fees so that they can get new roms before non-paying members do. It's one of the perks of having a VIP membership. DUH!!! :rolleyes:
[Fascinate Android Development] kent1146:
Please drop it. Nobody cares. It is irrelevant to Blackhole v4.01.

On topic: What is the correct CWM (and version) to be using with DL30 ROMs like this? Green CWM v2.5.1.0? Red CWM?

Thank you.
[Fascinate Android Development] stayin100:
anyone else having the issue with their wallpaper not showing through the lock screen? its just black.
[Fascinate Android Development] Smitty9803:
I'm using the red CWM with 0 issues. I'm pretty sure green cwm is broken right now. I got the red from jt's recovery thread in android development. It looks a little funky because it has all of the voodoo options, but it does the job. The file name is cwm_froyo.
[Fascinate Android Development] Pfredd:
+1 on cwm_froyo

I have already used it to recover my DL30 Fascinate from a theme that I didn't like and the recovery appears to be 100%.

Now, I did the recovery using a backup I took with the "new" CWM. I can't vouch for backups taken with other versions....
[Fascinate Android Development] kent1146:
Does that matter?

Are backups taken with one version of Clockwork Mod Recovery incompatible with other versions?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
yes, this is a known issue since the first version and I haven't figured it out yet. the workaround is that you can usually change wallpaper to something other than the default and it will show through.

Sometimes. before DL30 was released I wasn't thinking and tried to restore a backup I made with Green CWM using Red CWM and it said the MD5 didn't match.

I upgraded from DJ05 to the regular leaked froyo / DL09.

I have the hissing/static problem you speak of... I saw a few other people make mention of it but not many.

I noticed it hisses particularly more when the motion sensor pick ups your face or when you turn the phone and it rotates.

:( it's not very loud but its definately there and new for me.

I'm going to reflash because I want to give blackhole a shot... soon as I get a chance, see if maybe something just went wrong the first time around *crosses fingers*

Anyone know how to change the text color in the email application? It may be the theme I am using, but in the message list read messages are gray (dark gray even) on black background. If I am outside, I can't read any of it. Unread messages are blue (sender name) and white (email subject) and can be seen just fine outside.
[Fascinate Android Development] avhokie:
Nevermind about this issue, I now have much bigger problems. Took my first flight today with this ROM. Put it into airplane mode. After the flight was done, took it off airplane mode and continued to use the phone just fine (calls, emails, web, text) for hours. About half an hour ago, the phone locked up. I had to pull the battery. Once powered up, it was in some weird mode. It showed that I had no service, but the notification bar didn't show an airplane (it normally does for airplane mode). A long press of the power button brought up "phone options" where there it did think it was in airplane mode. I've gone through half an hour of trying to take this off airplane mode, rebooting, etc and nothing. I have no service. If I can't figure this out shortly, I'll have to wipe :(

Update: wiped data/cache. Now in a boot loop :(
[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
what modem were you on?
[Fascinate Android Development] avhokie:

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I wiped and am now in a reboot loop :(

Once I get out, I'll try upgrading the modem too.

[Fascinate Android Development] bdube:
i am not sure about that, you could try it but i would just use odin and do the full dl09 if you already wiped everything, best to start fresh in my opinion
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
trying to help with some constructive feedback:

trying to get past the "unable to load message. Message too long" error with exchange sync. reapplied ROM via Blackhole portal just now, and changed a few options along the way to get the upper bar clock back. acquires exchange mail fine, won't open it. K9/POP3 mail seems OK.

main lock screen can still be bypassed with pressing the hardware menu button. hardware buttons lost the tactile feedback buzz. today's mild usage of 2.2.1 from a full charge had me down to 48% in 6 hours. screen display was the highest battery usage. no wifi was used at all today.

firefox package from ROM portal won't run at all, FCs.

I definitely have to switch back to something else from the aperture laboratories shutdown animation... that voice is LOUD. hahaha. but they are correct about android hell!! haha
[Fascinate Android Development] rice247:
I am loving this rom so far. It's been a long time since I've had a Fascinate. I Odin restored to DL09 before starting tonight. I am now unable to mount my phone.

Can someone see if they can connect to Odin real quick. Used different ports, cables and 3 different computers.
