Hi, thanks for the advice. I found a solution shortly after, it had to do with titanium backing up the system files. I just went to the wallpaper settings and wiped it to version 1, and I can finally have what ever wallpaper! :)

Didn't need to re-flash but that was going to be my next step. :D

Just got another captivate today and wanted to know if I can run odin to down grade from froyo to eclair so i can root and install phoenix....been using phoenix for s while and have been having random shutdown on stock and custom so Iget a new one but its official froyo...any help with this would be appreciated
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You can do the 3e recovery fix. There's a tread on it.

Download the zip, extract it all on the root of ur sd card and use root explorer to move the recovery into /system/bin (replace the old one. U can make a copy for backup purpose). Then put ur phone in debugging mode, plug the usb and run the .bat file that came with the zip with ur comp.

The steps on the tread are not so clear so here's a quick rundown :)

Phoenix JS8 and Motorola H17 Headset troubles

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a new Motorola H17 Bluetooth headset and have it pairing to a Captivate running Phoenix 8.0 with Onix 2.0.5 as my Kernel and a JK4 modem.

When I initially pair the headset, it says it is paired in the menu, but it won't connect. After it finally connects, (I have to reset the headset and remove the previous paring from the phone menu) I can't get any audio from the phone to pass through the headset. Additionally, when I turn off Bluetooth, I have to pair the headset again when I turn it back on.

I have tried other kernels, (Speedmod, Di11i's and Paragon) without success. I have already taken the headset back once. I wanted to wait and see what the forums said before I flash back to stock and test it as I really like the setup now.

Is this a known issue? Are their specific headsets I should be looking at?

Should I flash back to JS7?

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Email.apk

I've tried several different Roms on my Captivate I897 but so far this is the only one I've come across that the email.apk actually supports all of the exchange security features other than stock 2.1 or 2.2. Was there anything done in particular to get the security features to work on this phone? I've seen in other posts about modifying the apk to remove the security and then setting the permissions back after copying it over but this method hasn't worked for me with other roms. My company has every possible security feature enabled not just the pin or pattern.

Disable HSUPA and other things

I'm trying to figure out if I can disable HSUPA and just use the "normal" 3g. I'm running base Ultimate with whatever kernal and modem it comes with (appologies, I honestly don't know what they are for sure). The HSUPA reception is pretty crappy in my area, and I'm finding that I connect but don't actually upload anything on it, so my data is pretty poor.

I downloaded unleashed over the weekend, but didn't get a chance to flash it, and I'm also not afraid of flashing different modems or roms into either version, but I'm really happy with everything else in Ultimate and don't REALLY see a need to change other then my odd data issues. I don't even have battery problems with TelNav (and I actually like much better then google navigation. Plus I have 3 batterys and a ton of chargers, so I don't even really think much about battery life much.

Also, the market is yelling at me to update launcherpro, but then won't do it. I didn't know if that had to do with it being built it, or what. I was already a LPro user anyway, and so I had it with my old ROM, so I wasn't sure if that caused the issue or what.

I came to this from Cog, which didn't really work well for me since 2.38, and instantly solved all my problems. Great work, I'm sure I'm a couple of tweeks from getting it set perfectly.

Calls getting automaticall rejected when "AUTOREJ" is off.

Hey guys,

Just flashed the latest Phoniex unleashed and had everything working great. Followed the recipe: one clicked odin'ed, rooted, CWM, and flashed.

However, I've read an earlier post about someone mentioning when using TiBu, it is not recommend to restore missing apps + all system data.

Unfortunately I've done that and that could be the contributing issue.

So my problem is that whenever I receive a call, it automatically gets rejected even though I have that setting unchecked and also I am unable to backup my settings for LauncherPro, getting an error message that the SD card is not there.

So I'm wondering if is there a way to fix this issue without having to redo the odin or master clear and reinstall the ROM?

And if it is necessary to flash stock and reinstall the ROM, is there a way to backup the phone's memory or is that already done when I backed up using TiBu?

Thanks in advance and I hope to hear from someone soon.

EDIT: Hey guys just wanted to update my post in case others are having a similar issue. I managed to fix the issue by simply going into clockwork and reinstalling the PHONIEX ROM. Basically overwrite the system apps and bring it back to a fresh install.

This time I'll just TiBU with apps + user data NOT system data.

LauncherPro back up issue.

Definitely, lesson well learned haha. Glad someone had a similar issue and if I really think about it it makes a lot of sense, so my bad on that part.

I had another question though for LauncherPro users. After flashing the ROM I'm still unable to backup my LauncherPro settings.

"Error occured while trying to create backup. Check to see if SD card is available"

I'm sure there must be a registry or some form of communication error since my SD card is accessible.

If anyone has any idea or a similar issue that would be great. If not I'll just TiBU it anyways.

Thanks again everyone! :)

Market gone from phone

Sorry if this has been posted and answered (searched, couldn't find it).

I lost my market somehow (icon gone, vending.apk still in system/apps).

I unzipped Phoenix Unleashed and put the vending.apk back into the system/app folder, rebooted the phone, and I still have no market icon or access.

Do I have to flash back to stock??

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: So, I flashed Phoenix over itself last night, restored some settings and my market is back. It is no longer themed, but if I try to theme it (using Market_2.3.4_tran-honeycomb.zip), it breaks again. It seems the linking to the vending.apk gets broken somehow. Is this a result of something in JS8? It used to work correctly in JS7. Does fugu tweaks get in the way?

Thanks.

Odin

Hi i have been flashing roms on the thunderbolt, droid1, droid x, droid incredible and i have flashed one on my friends captivate i have never used odin and do not really want to. I already flashed paragon rom on his phone just by using cwr. Do you have to use odin every rom you flash or can you do it without? Thanks I just do not want to brick his phone.

P.S. I have searched for this with mixed results. I am looking at flashing the new team phoenix rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightningGA:
I only go back to stock and master clear if I install a new rom and run into problems.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jg10571:
Sometimes you don't need to return to stock using odin for a new install. It is recommended only so that you can get a nice clean install of the new rom. Some roms will actually state that you can just update to the new version without going back to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Don't worry about Odin unless you install a different based ROM (2.2 with 2.2 and 2.2.1 with 2.2.1 or even CM7 2.3 based).

I don't use it much myself, it's more of a "Oh Sh**T I bricked my phone" kind of program. You don't need it anymore when flashing as new ROMs already clear the old one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayburne:
Asking here because this occurred when preparing a friends phone to flash from stock 2.2 to Phoenix.

I have used the same Odin, same Samsung Drivers, same PC and same USB cable for two other phone with complete success. The only explanation I have for this behavior is either 1. bad flash or 2. this Captivate was a refurb with Froyo installed from the factory.

The other 2 Captivates I have flashed were originally shipped with Éclair.

Ran Odin.exe (Run as Administrator, like I have done several times before).

I’m using Odin3Execution V.1.00.

Odin said the flash was successful and rebooted the phone.

Upon reboot was in a boot loop at the ATT screen.

I read to try the following sequence in other posts.

1.	Pull battery, sim, SD card and unplug the USB. Let it sit for a minute.

2.	Plug in the USB cable.

3.	Holding all three buttons, plug in the battery.

4.	The battery charge (grey) should be seen on the phone. After the phone screen goes black twice let go of the power button.

This worked for me once, after several attempts.

Now that the phone booted back up (and I confirmed it was Éclair JH6), I did a master clear with Odin.

Upon reboot right back in to the ATT boot loop screen.

Was not having any luck with the steps above after several attempts.

Here is how I eventually recovered.

1.	I opened Odin on the PC.

2.	Pulled the battery and USB for a minute or two then replaced it and plugged in the USB cable.

3.	After few cycles of black battery icon and spinning wheel, the batter icon turned green (like normal when you turn your phone off and plug it in). Sometimes this only took two cycles and sometimes many cycles (or a few minutes).

4.	Once the battery icon was green, I hit the power button.

5.	As soon as you see the ATT screen, pull the USB cable and the phone booted (if I left the USB plugged in, the phone went back to the black battery screen after the ATT screen).

6.	I copied the correct Update.zip and Rom to my SD card.

From here I tried to boot into recovery via ADB.

The phone rebooted but back into the ATT boot loop.

Following the second set of steps above (2-3 times), I was finally able to get into Clockwork recovery.

From here I flashed Phoenix Unleashed.

After the flash rebooted and the phone seems to be running fine now.

The phone boots right up.

So here are my questons…

1.	Anyone have any ideas as to why I was in a boot loop after Odin? I suspect it has something to do with Froyo or 3e recovery and not a bad flash but not sure (this was the first attempt to flash to stock JH6 on this phone). Anyone successful getting a factory shipped Froyo Captivate and been successful with Odin One click?

2.	I have now lost both 3 button recovery and 2 button download mode. I know for sure both of these worked before Odin. I can boot into Recovery and Download modes from the Phoenix Power menu but not with the button combos (I haven’t tried adb after flashing Phoenix). Any way of getting the button combos back without going back to stock?

This person here has reported the same issue. Seems no matter what Odin he flashes he ends up in boot loop. Any ideas?

The sreenies are from Ultimate. Although, I believe the theming is about the same in unleashed (correct me if I'm wrong :rolleyes:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
1. Bootloop can just be a bad flash. As for the factory shipped Froyo, that's what I got and Odin worked on it, although not needed - You can simply get the 3e recovery fix or flash a kernel to get pass the signature failed.

2. You can flash these with Odin and I think Heimdal as well (not sure how to spell that one lol) w/o having to go back to stock. I suggest you try Bay_wolf's toolbox, that thing has done miracles ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayburne:
Thanks BWolf56,

Thanks for confirming you have flashed back to JH6 from stock Froyo. I guess it was just a bad flash. I was thinking because I have never had this happen after several flash back to stock, it was Froyo but this appears to not be the case.

I've seen Bay_Wolfs Toolbox but never used it (as the version of Odin I have has never failed until now). I see the toolbox has back to stock with three button fix.

Can the tool box three button fix without going to stock? Any ideas on how to get 2 button + USB download mode working again (I haven't looked into it yet, but will start searching this afternoon)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I'm pretty sure it does, although I'm no Heimdall pro - I'll look a little more into it once I'm home but I'm sure you could find the info somewhat quick if you look on its thread (by Bay_wolf of course ;))

Rejecting Calls

Any suggestions?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virin:
So here's an odd question. I was using phoenix unleashed and I noticed it was starting to act a little funny. Figured like always I would just use odin, flash back to stock and then re-flash phoenix. When I tried to use odin it would just get stuck on file analysis. Tried it again and again. No luck. So I rebooted the phone and it was fine. Ok restarted computer, got back to download mode and tried again. nothing. Now it gets stuck on the samsung boot screen. I have a jig and can get it into download but again, odin won't do anything. Any ideas?

Ok I got it to work. I had to use the odin found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818439 with the 3 button thing to get it to get working then when it was done re do the regular one touch odin and now I am back to stock... was a little worried there for a moment.

Yeah, fair warning to all when moving to GB... I can't say for sure that Android ID Changer caused the problems, but I was running GB just fine... restored from TIBU... and updated a bunch of apps (had an older TIBU backup). When Android ID Changer rebooted my phone... everything went downhill from there. As experience has taught me, I know I can't just blame the last thing that was changed, so instead I'm just putting out a "heads-up" for those attempting to do the same.

I have an unlocked rogers samsung captivate and I am using it on a fido network

When I was on PHEONIX 4 everything was working perfectly. I recently switched to PHEONIX ultimate and my data stopped working. I tried going back to PHEONIX 4 and it still didn't work! I have spent days reinstalling different roms and modems to figure this out. What baffles me is that it works for a little bit and then stops.

What is really confusing me is that the only way I get service is if I am on edge (GSM only).When I to 3G I lose service and my data doesn't work either. It only works for a little bit. I can even surf for a minute and then it doesn't work at all – and if the service does return it does so without 3G. So I know my apn is correct.

I have tried to install different modems. I messed around with *#2263# settings. I also went back to stock (2.1)using a odin-one-click made specifically for rogers. What I did notice was everything worked fine as stock. But everything worked fine even when I was using pheonix 4 or any other froyo rom. But now nothing works!

I used this link and tried out most of the modems. I also tried i897uckb1 which was the worst causing my phone to reset on its own

I also feel like its not a phone network issue since when I do select 3g my phone starts acting weird. One thing in particular is when I try making a voice call, the green 'call icon' remains on the notification even after ending the call.

I apologize if I am all over the place. But I really hope you can make me feel stupid and provide a simple solution to this.

My present specs:

model number:	samsung-sgh-I897

Firmware:	2.2.1

basband	I9000UGJK4

kernel	2.6.32.9

Trust me when I say, I'm the least knowledgeable member of this site; so, you might find what I am about to offer more funny than helpful. I am currently running Phoenix Ultimate with no problems; however, after loading my previous rom, I could not receive any calls. They went straight to voice mail. I searched and found a post with these instructions. "go to settings>privacy>factory reset". I don't know what kinds of problems this resolves, but it did fix my problem. Hope it's that simple.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
Probably a good idea actually, certainly won't hurt... just remember to back everything up (apps, pics, songs, etc.) before doing so as it will delete your data (not on the microSD, though I recommend removing it before doing so as some have reported issues afterwards when leaving it in). Afterwards you'll have to restore your apps, re-sign into your google account and all that loveliness... but it may help with your issue.

I try to run Odin, but it just sits at File Analysis. I think this is because instead of going into Download mode, it's going to a clockwork recovery menu. See thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364.

To get in download mode:

Unplug phone,

Pull battery,

Hold volume buttons (and dont release for any reason)

Plug in usb,

Put battery back in and wait while still holding on volume buttons.

As for the new ROM, you will need to get stock GB 1st (go check Haikaido's tutorial) and then follow the OP in Mosaic's thread.

Were you able to get to it when you 1st flashed Phoenix?

Also, if you can reach cwm recovery, mount up storage. Download latest full ROM version of Phoenix (Ultimate/Unleashed.. whichever you want) and flash it through cwm.

After that, you should be able to get in download mode from the Power button menu.
