Def will do. The only reason I'm not doing it right now is because I have an exam to study for. But as soon as I have some free time to play around, I will try whatever version is available.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I download 2.3 earlier today but haven't used it. Do I need to uninstall and install 2.4 or just use 2.3?
[Captivate Android Development] TorqueWrench001:
Thanks for replying so quickly, I'm on Win 7 64 bit Im the administrator

tried granting full permissions for everyone for the folders no luck yet.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Yeah, if you already installed 2.3 then just download and install 2.4 over it. If you haven't installed 2.3 just delete it and wait for 2.4 link to be posted and install it.

Tried switching the install for "just me" and "everyone" options during installation?
[Captivate Android Development] TorqueWrench001:
i didn't see that option come up during the installation?

Just tried again that option doesnt pop up. gonna try safe mode now
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Sorry about that. I thought I put that option in it. :o The only other things I can think of are to disable UAC and try to install the program while giving the installer administrator rights.

Here's a link to a similar issue (with a different program) LINK

Also, does this only happen with my program or others?
[Captivate Android Development] TorqueWrench001:
I have UAC disabled. I keep it off. Trying to see where to grant administrator rights but I dont see that. I thought it was an option when you right click but its not there. Honestly I install alot of software, this is the only one I've run across this problem. Checking the link you gave me now thank you.

EDIT: I found that link earlier did what they said still no go thks
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I honestly have no idea. It should install without an issue as I've installed it one my girlfriends computer that has UAC enabled and didn't run it as administrator and it installed fine (she has vista 64bit on hers). Sorry, I can't think of anything else to try except to try it on another computer if you have one.
[Captivate Android Development] TorqueWrench001:
Ill keep at it thanks for your help and input. tired now getting crosseyed so Ill probably try after work tomorrow. thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
is there any way to swap out the original "stock att" files with the "stock rogers" ? if its easy i can do it, but if you need them to make a new package, i have them in odin compatible version. im not having issues but this would help quite a few more people, including my freinds, now they would be able to do more without me.

or add an option to download and flash "rogers stock version" would be great.

and which version of odin3 are you using 1.3 or 1.7?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I'll look into that for the next version. And I didn't even realize but I've been using ODIN 1.0 (for the 3BF) in the program. I just looked into the updated ODIN's and I'll try to include 1.7 or 1.3 in the next.

Can you give me a link to the Stock Rogers files? Just PM me if you want.

Thanks.

EDIT: 2.4 is now live.
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
OK video review coming for realz this time tonite (late night)...Also, guys this tool is awesome. If it saved you time and effort...throw this guy a donation!
[Captivate Android Development] TorqueWrench001:
Installation Problem Solved

It came down to granting the proper ownership and permissions to the related folders. Trial and error finally got it. D'ld 2.4 and install a-ok. Must have been too cross-eyed at three in the morning to get it right lol :D

Windows 7 complicated security at its best.

Thanks again bay_wolf
[Captivate Android Development] antonyfl:
Hey Bay_wolf!

Awesome program! Makes my life a whole lot easier

Just a quick question though: Would it be possible to include an ODIN with Stock 2.1 of the ROGERS build? I find it much more useful to ODIN back to the Rogers 2.1 (since I do own a Rogers Captivate I896) and it can sideload out of the box, and it doesnt have that stupid AT&T logo :P
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
Could you post a link to Rogers' 2.1?

Most appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
^ This. If I can get the stock rogers 2.1 ODIN file I'll get a rogers version released. So, PM me it and I'll get it set up.
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
Based on wading through this thread, and this post in particular, it looks like this is it:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BD2EF4WF
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Thanks! I'll make a Rogers version tonight and have it uploaded by tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
UPdated to 2.5: Just switched ODIN versions for the 3 button fix as I think that was causing some to have errors. It's now Odin 1.81.

EDIT: this will be the last update for a while unless there is a major bug.

EDIT2: for the Rogers captivate users out there. Do you want the stock 2.1 or 2.2 version of android for your version of this program? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
Speaking on behalf of the rest of us: is it possible to get both? Some MODs seem to insist on having 2.1 as a base, and there are some other 2.2 features such as the updated recovery, that well, are probably more 'bugs' than 'features.' At the same time, updating from 2.1 to 2.2 through KIES is a ****ing nightmare...
[Captivate Android Development] AgrahamLincoln:
well this is cool, and i like it a lot, but what does the ODIN flash? i have a 1010 model Captivate and when i flash back to stock i HAVE to flash JH3 or i lose download mode and have to JIG it and flash JH2 or JH3 to recover. Is it JK3?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Uploading now. Might be up tonight but for sure by tomorrow. It'll include both 2.1 and 2.2 and.. the ability to remove the ATT Boot logo.

EDIT: I'll need some people to test it as I don't own a rogers version but it should work as intended. I'll just post the download link and let me know any bugs in it.

It's the one click version of ODIN and 3 button fix. It probably won't work for you but you can use the 3BF version instructions and just replace the PIT and PDA files with the ones you use.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
So if I have a 1009 model captivate and can't get into the download mode using any of the 3 button methods should I use the 1 click or 3 button fix method of your program? Or not use your program at all?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Umm... What do you normally do to get to stock? And why aren't the 3 button download modes working? Sorry for the questions but just trying to figure the situation out. Also, you can use my program to kick your phone into download mode if you need to. From just what you told me I'd say that the 3 button fix version should work.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I just bought the phone and it had phoenix 4.5 and I'd like to change ROM's. I tried to put the phone in download mode by pressing the volume buttons and the power button and that didn't work. So I plug in the usb cable to my computer and pressed the volume buttons and plug the usb cable into the phone and it just cycles between the att screen and the Galaxy screen. I'm new to android so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I've read so many threads on this I'm starting to get confused.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
To get into download mode the easier way is either: use my program or...

Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

Insert the battery

Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)

Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons

So, yes this program should work for you just fine. I'd use the one click just for ease of use.

EDIT: Added Rogers Edition. Download link in first post.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Tried both ways and it won't go into download.

With your program do I have my phone on or off? I tried both and it didn't work either way.

Edit: Reinstalled the driver and I can get into download with your program but not with the 3 button method.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Phone needs to be on, plugged in, not mounted, and have USB debugging turned on for the program to work.
[Captivate Android Development] novagator:
How long does the master clear through Odin generally take?
[Captivate Android Development] nissy86:
file is enourmous.

anyone with a mirror download link? :p

baywolf is awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] qynt:
Thanks for a great App! The new interface is great.

Donation sent!
[Captivate Android Development] FlKTION:
WOW! On behalf of Rogers users: Thank you!

Going back to stock has been a pain, and for me almost impossible in the case of restoring to 2.1

Thanks for your hard work I do not need to use this prog right now but i know i will in the future.

ps- the remove atnt option is sweet as well
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
In my experience it normally takes like 5 minutes. If it's taking longer just try it again.

Thanks! I'm glad the program helped you out and that the new interface is a positive thing. I've put your username in the first page under donators.

EDIT: Woot! 100th post!
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Video review is live folks...

[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
I don't know why people here don't take advantage of torrents for large files like this. So much faster and more reliable. Anyone want to start one? Mines still not done downloading :(
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
If anyone who has downloaded it would make a torrent or a mirror, I'll post the link in the first post. My upload speed sucks horribly so I can't really seed one.

EDIT: For anyone who has downloaded the Rogers version: has it worked for you? and have there been any issues with it?
[Captivate Android Development] falcon72:
for some reason my phone will not go in to recovery mode to install custom roms

step I did

flash stock works

root works

copy custom rom seem to works but it does reboot to to in the recovery mode :confused:

any ideas ?
[Captivate Android Development] novagator:
Works great for me. Donation coming your way.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Did you reenable USB Debugging?

Thanks! I'll put your name in the first post once I get it.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Video cleared up alot of my questions thanks. So if I understand this correctly once I do the one click method I'll have the 3 button enabled on my phone correct? I'm one of the unfortunate ones that has a phone with it disabled.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
First off great job and I just donated! :D Second, what does wipe battery stats do?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
I'd use the 3 Button Fix version if you currently have the 3 button combo not working.

Thanks for the donation! And it just deletes the Battery Stats file. Some people believe this will help recalibrate the battery when flashing new ROMs. It's kinda up in the air if it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Does your program use the odin JF6 with 3 button fix?
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Yep. The PDA and PIT files are for JF6 with 3 button fix.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
One last question. For future flashing will I always have to use this method or can I use the 1 click and still have the 3 button fix?
[Captivate Android Development] wonner:
This is the first time starting a torrent, so if it's not working let me know.

http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6177228
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
To keep the 3 button fix you'll need to use the 3 button fix version each time.

Thanks! I'll add it to the first page. Also, thanks for putting my name in the torrent title.

EDIT: I'm currently seeding this torrent now. I'll also be getting mirrors from Team Komin sometime soon (hopefully tonight) and once I get those I'll stop seeding the torrent. Thanks again wonner.
[Captivate Android Development] wonner:
It's your work, bro. I can't claim it. :)

Does it work? I'm not showing any peers...
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Should be working. I already ahve the file so I'm seeding right now and it shows 2 seeders (I'm guessing me and you). First time I've ever done it also.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
The file is already deleted when you flash a new rom as it resides in the system. The main benefit is if you do not flash at 100% charge, in which case you should delete it after you do charge it completely. This will help give a more accurate capacity reading.

Edit: i'm seeding now as well. thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Thanks for seeding and for making it a little clearer about the battery stats.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Used the program on my Rogers Captivate and it cannot boot. Boot's into the recovery menu and says:

update media, please wait...

E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10

(invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media: can't mount DBDATA:

copy default media content failed.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Fixed it by using 1-Click-Odin to flash to the AT&T stock ROM. Another issue I found was that Root didn't work either on the Rogers version. I forget what it said, but it couldn't install the update.zip when it was in recovery mode.
[Captivate Android Development] bay_wolf:
Looking into this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Midi_Amp:
Hi all, does X10 Mini Pro have an automatic data traffic disable function? I just got my X10 Mini Pro and confused that the phone automatically disables data traffic on random. Sometimes I got steady stream of emails and twitter updates, but occasionally the data connection is terminated.

When it happens, I usually tap on the data traffic widget to disable data traffic, and tap again to activate, then it will resume fetching my mails and updates.

I thought installing advanced task killer is the culprit. Now I didn't use ATK and still intermittent data disconnection. If this is an operator issue, is there a way to automatically force reset the data connection?

I'm planning to change my main phone (Blackberry) to X10 Mini Pro since the push mail function is just as good with only a slight delay, 5-15 seconds difference. But this intermittent data disconnection makes me wary since my work is mostly by mail and I'm doing field work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hansip87:
Maybe you need to reflash the phone..? Just use SEUS to start from the fresh again :)

Also, you need to reconfigure the APN by yourself, to follow the setting provided by your operator, in case some settings are left behind.. e.g. i need to enable XL GPRS myself, even though XL Unlimited has been given automatically to my phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Midi_Amp:
Hmmm, thanks. I did bought the phone used, perhaps the previous owner messed up something. Might try setting up the data connection manually instead of the given setup first, seems more easier that way :)

http://briefmobile.com/xoom-officially-priced-at-800-only-one-sku-to-choose-from-a-ranteditorial

A pretty good read.
[Xoom General] gogol:
And dont forget to rant about this:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/06/verizon-locking-wifi-on-motorola-xoom-until-you-buy-one-month-of/
[Xoom General] eallan:
:( really lame and greedy. Wanted one too. Not anymore.
[Xoom General] tullywork:
same here. No way I'll pay $800 for a device that's essentially the same as the Viewsonic Gtab w/ a better OS (and a few other bells and whistles - NOT $400 worth) for DOUBLE the price. Stupid Stupid move on Motorola's part. $500 makes sense, $800 is pure stupidity. I'll keep my fingers crossed for another device that fits the $500 mark, or just wait it out w/ my newly purchased $399 Galaxy Tab for the prices to come down.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Well, this is not wifi-only device.

I don't think you can expect NON wifi-only device for $500 with this kind of spec.

If you are looking for wifi-only device (like the iPad $500 price point), then this is not for you. You need to wait ... until there is that wifi-only version released.
[Xoom General] luis86dr:
How funny is that. Were in a recession, yet you want to charge 800 for a tablet that's wifi locked and you MUST pay at least one month of Verizons data plan just to unlock the wifi. I call bull****. Lost alot of respect from me.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[Xoom General] tullywork:
So your saying the cellular portion of these devices costs and/or is worth the extra $300 price tag? I would speculate the additional technology cost would be happily subsidized by any cellular company getting a data plan rate from the consumer and SHOULD keep this device around $500. The profits from the data plans that the cellular companies are getting from $20+ a month?? come on...seriously???

Let's call a spade a spade, Motorola believes that people will pay a premium for the 'FIRST' Android 3.0 device AND wants to ride the 'ipad' wave w/ the cellular providers pushing their wares + data plans. This $800 price tag wont last long. Apple sells the 'Apple' brand (hey look I bought an 'APPLE'), Motorola sells devices (no one is running around going 'hey look I bought a 'Motorola' - who cares???)

This thing will drop in price significantly over the next 6 months as they 1) get past the few people that are willing to throw money away to be 'latest/greatest' at all costs and 2) start to realize that significant sales will only come when the price is reasonable and one is purchasing them at this premium.

iPad prices are sure to drop as the iPad2 is released...WHY would people pay $800 for an 'Android' when they will *likely* be able to purchase the ipad 1 for $400-$600??? you have to compete and Motorola isn't unfortantely able to compete on brand, so it needs to compete for price + technology.

Let's not forget these are 'consumer' devices not computers, sure you can go 'spec for spec' w/ the nerds, but the masses don't really care about all that stuff....and the masses is who your selling your device to, to get 10+million devices in sales...
[Xoom General] slugbug2010:
When the price leaked several weeks ago, any hope I had of getting a Xoom was gone. Even if it had not been shot down then, the new news that the price will be $800 and there will be a CHARGE to activate wifi .... would have done me in.

I made the decision to get the Nook Color. A week later someone had ported a working version/img of HC to the NC from the sdk release. The dang $800 Xoom can showcase it's stuff in a few weeks and I'm happy for people that will get it as I know it will be beautiful. The HC UI is gorgeous, beyond my expectations. I'll sit here happily with my $250 NC reader/table running HC. So far everything my friend with an iPad can do, I can do on my NC. It's 100%stable when running the rooted Eclair or Froyo, and about 80+% (and improving with each release) stable and useable running HC.

I guess Motorola thinks people are going to replace their laptops with a 10 inch tablet? Maybe. imo - doubtful. For $800 I'd sooner replace my laptop than get the Xoom.
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
Wow... that whole thing read like my thought process in the first few minutes after that Best Buy ad came out, including my decision to hold off buying and see what T-Mobile has in store.
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
Exactly. People aren't exactly looking to just throw $800+ out the window on something they don't need. A $500 Wifi iPad is a MUCH better purchase until Honeycomb/the Xoom become established in the market.
[Xoom General] vetvito:
Bull****. No such thing as locking Wifi in Android. So stop the lies.

Its just Verizon wanting to push their service.
[Xoom General] Henchman:
Really?

$800 is too much?

How much is the price of your cellphone if you bought it without a contract?

Get a grip.
[Xoom General] eallan:
Thats great, so just because cell phones are outrageously expensive, tablets should be too?

The only thing that expensive tablets will bring is more carrier controlled bull****. This subsidized pricing model lets prices get ridiculously inflated and only screws us.

Don't spend 800 on this thing and do us all a favor.
[Xoom General] Henchman:
So, you really expect something 2 to 3 times the size of a cellphone, with much better specs, way larger screen, to be cheaper.

Yep. Makes total sense.

Right.....
[Xoom General] gogol:
Well, I don't know the price for that cellular components. But take a look on device that has similar specs (hardware wise) and has cellular capability.

Probably, if you shrink the Xoom display to around 4" like your Android phone, you will get that for $500.

Got that?

Of course, that's the early/first adopters price. You know that well.

Price will drop, significantly for tech product.

If they want an iPad, they will buy an iPad, simple :)

If they don't want to spend more money they will buy iPad 1 instead of iPad 2 anyway.
[Xoom General] eallan:
No contract iPhone 4 16gb is 599. 16Gb 3g ipad is 629. I didn't realize size was the only factor that determined cost. Some big laptops are cheeeeaaaap. Atrix is cheaper than the xoom by 200 dollars. Same specs. Stop excusing awful pricing.
[Xoom General] Henchman:
Really? You use yet another phone as a comparison?

What part of "size is a factor " didn't you understand?

You have a screen that is almost three times the size.

Way more RAM

And a much larger battery.

And these are simply the more obvious differences.

A 32gb Class 6 sd card alone runs about $100

The screens aren't cheap either. My guess is that they are at least $200.

And we haven't even talked about development costs, and the other parts.
[Xoom General] Homan13PSU:
Let's not act like the article doesn't have some good points though. Let's take a look at Apple, and the iPad. You can buy a 16, 32 and 64 gig iPad. You can only buy a 32 gig Xoom. Personally, I do not need a 32 gig device, so I cannot justify throwing out $800 for something I'm not going to fully use.

THAT is where Moto made their mistake if you ask me. Only coming to the table with one option. Now, we've heard rumors of a WiFi ony model waiting in the wings, so maybe they do have an entry level 16 gig Xoom waiting in the wings. BUT, Moto would be much better served releasing it from the get go than holding it back.
[Xoom General] gogol:
You can add SD card with Xoom :)
[Xoom General] dapoktan:
I dont understand posts that say, If you dont wanna pay the premium, go get an iPad! pfffft~!..

Most of us here are fans of android, and want to see it succeed... Over the iPad and iOS devices..

What I'm worried is about the platform itself getting a bad image.. the iPad has a huge lead in user base already.. and apps already get months of early release on the iPad, starting android development only after the iOS version launches.. a device like this will only widen the gap..

Remember Sony and the PS3? "We want our users to work harder and save up for a PS3"... remember what happened? People bought 360's and Wii's...

Sigh.. and I own a ps3.. and I want a Xoom.. I'm just worried about the platform itself.. and since the Xoom was revealed to most of the general public in a high profile Superbowl ad, people will get this impression of the platform as expensive.. and not worth a premium over the iPad.. which is pretty too.. but cheaper.. and made by Apple.. which we all know is wrong.. but the general consumer doesnt..

I was talking w/ some of the people at my school, and people still dont realize that Android has anything to do with Google.. which i think is a mistake also.. people think android is a DROID device.. made by verizon.. some people dont realize that droid is even on other networks.. People trust Apple.. People trust Google.. but people dont know that Android = Google.. this I think is a problem..

And developers and other users follow where the general public user goes.. this is what I think the biggest problem is.
