[Captivate Android Development] Johnsondr80:
here's a quote from an email to another team phoenix member. please excuse typos, i was frustrated, to say the least. thanks again JoeDV.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks, the problem WAS severe. These are my conclusions on the matter and what seems to be the solution,(for me anyhow) so far as I haven.t been next to my pc to see if "device malfuction" message still shows. I was using ex's kb1 voodoo v#8beta- great kernal btw. And accentitilly loaded sm_k13d into rom(didnt figure this out till about 1pm), at flash the lag fix didnt mix I suppose, and i'm shure keeping pluged up added to the usb problems, luckly I had several roms on my sd card, more importantly update and rootupdate.zips in root of sd.:{my falsafe} so first flash of course was fusion 1.8 with kb1 overstock, <over sm k13 on top of kb1 beta8> booted but everything I touched FC'd. Started thinking about lagfix disables and diffrent wipes. Applied changes in cwm, but didn't get voodoo voice?

Rom still unstable and low battery with usb not working as far as I could tell. So flashed some nandroid bkups, got boot loops, flashed phoenix ultim. Booted up good sm kernal dectected change in system, I choose no, rom looking and running pretty good(not like is should) usb still screwy and now my battery says 63%, (shure its not right but more likey than 10%) in cwm I untweak everything. Voodoo voice on the reboot?(i was shocked and began to realize what had happened)booted upafter a long time. Back to cwm to find that in laxfix Data options and the one below it still ext4 and ext4nj but not system its rfs. So I go to advanced assn d rfs everything and Reboot. Now rom looking much better but service, and a few system apps fc, so nand restore my set up of pu7.3_now_bootloops, ok so I change up I feel lagfix is good and gone now so I cog 4.1, looking running and service great. But usb still crazy, now it just keeps scrolling usb connected, and making that connection sound. Battery stop showing it was charging with nothing pluging in. So now I grab a cheap charger at the store to try a trick I used to do to get debugging off screen while pluging in charger. Put it in and usb connection notice stoped and battery charging started. Looking good then remove chRger and but battery still charging. Damn! I'm ready to smash this thing, but calm down instead, as it is better than before. Download tibu and restore some nessary apps, (rom manager so I can download .zips in stock browser, and you guessed it XdaPremi)

Start searching threads and low and behold two or three from the top my Saviour! (Jesus is my salvation)

Its DesignGears! With a post back in sept the 23rd I think with "ota.jh7.cwm.zip", Ohhhh could it be? Please please please let the link still be live! *holding my breath and sweat beading off my fingers onto the screen* I hit the link, the stock slow a$$ broswer creeping along the top bar, I yeal "COME OOONN!"

Download screen pops up starting download.. The longest download of my life. Feelt like 8bps extended.

I just hope now it dont stop at 98% and fail. (always seems to happen at the worst time) But not today!!

Yes!

Flash that baby, bootup and I got 7% battery, and all seems well, no more strange notifictions, battery crap not going on. Plug in to charger and see no usb connect battery starts showing charge, ado before I get to happy, unplug charger and the battery stops showing charge, message pops up telling me to plug in. what else could I do? I pluged it back up. Charging now Like I said not at my pc so I dont know about "device malfuction" but I feel really good about it. After I got a bit of juice I recovery2e update.zip and cwm rootupdate.zip, booted up got titianum backup, used it for busybox install, retored xda and typing this now. One hell a day, had to share and you were the first I saw.

Might start a thread about it to help others. I thought for shure I was a gon'er.

I recomend keeping your last 3-4 flashes any nandroids pertaining to those flashes, update.zip a rootupdate.zip and shoud be manditory to keep a ota.cwm.zip for these ohso rare occasions.

Don't never think it can't happen to you.

:.Always Flash to Stock! preventive measures could have prevented this.:
