[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
All, having a weird issue. I was on the phone yesterday using an automated menu system and my phone restarted. No rhyme nor reason why. It did that repeatedly throughout the day. I tried flashing a new ROM version, Phoenix 6.0!!, with no luck. I tried a normal restart, power down and then up, running a virus scan, pulling the batter for 30 minutes and no difference. The phone continued to restart. I finally got fed up and my battery was almost dead so I turned the phone off.

The phone was off for probably 5 hours and I charged it while off. I restarted the phone and transferred all of my content off, expecting to Odin back to stock and reflash Phoenix. The phone seemed to be behaving so I left it alone and plugged it into the wall for the night.

I got up this morning and everything appeared to be good. Went to work and still no problems, phone had an uptime of over 12 hours. Which would be what I would expect. Had the phone on my desk and I noticed it had restarted. When I mean it restarted, it went back to the boot animation and then loaded to the android screen and performed media scan and all my apps loaded on the home screens and services started up.

I went back to Settings->About->Status and the uptime was 18 hours now. So even with the restart, the uptime was still counting. Needless to say, I'm at a lose. Can't isolate any event that causes this reset or any app. Could I have gotten something from the automated call system? Is something just weird. I had been running Phoenix 5.2 for a few weeks with now problems so I'm confused. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will probably flash back to stock and start again but I'd like to isolate this problem if possible.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
To the best of your knowledge, no apps were just added, our settings adjusted?

Either way I would odin flash master clear. May even run stock for a but to see if behavior stops
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
sounds like a problem with the infamous 850-1900mhz handoff....

if your signature is accurate, that modem you are using is 1900mhz only i believe....it doesnt support 850, so if you are in an area where its trying to hand off to 850, it will cause a soft reboot.....i have seen it a million times myself when playing with the first run of i9000 roms
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
Hmmm...I have been using an i9000 roms for a few months with no issues. The last modem I was using was I9000UJK4, I think? I don't know without flashing back, whatever came with Phoenix 5.2 ROM. I had zero problems. I only flashed to that modem/ROM, Phoenix 6.0, in an attempt to fix the soft reboot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
flash just the JK4 modem and i bet the soft reboots stop. what you have listed there is i believe a 1900mhz only modem....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
I will try that, when I can find it to download but the problem started with the JK4 modem. I was running Phoenix 5.2 with a JK4 modem and only flashed to the new one in an attempt to wipe whatever was causing the data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
Flashing UGJK4 right now, I'll see if that fixes anything however I'm not super confident since the problem occurred originally with a JK4 modem.

Update: Rebooted once after modem flash. Going to wait for a bit and see what happens.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
if that doesnt work, i would think its a problem with your hardware
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
If the modem switch doesn't work, I'm first going to flash to stock and master clear. If the problem goes away, I'll flash to Phoenix again. If the problem comes back, it'll have to be part of my SW. If the problem persists at stock, back to AT&T for a refurbished phone. :(

Update: Looks like things are pretty stable right now. I'm not super in-tune with how the modems work but is there a way to allow the JK4 modem to use 850 or 1900 speeds, like an auto setting that will choose the best one. I use SGS tools for secret codes so if its in there let me know. So far so good, thanks pirate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoobie-doo:
Reviving an old thread because I am also having soft reboot issues.

Unlike the previous poster, I am not using an i9000 based kernel. I am running the latest leaked Gingerbread for the i897 (JK3), rooted via Fugu kernel swap method; the only other tweak to stock has been to freeze via TiBu the AT&T Tethering Manager. I am even using the stock launcher as I try to isolate what is causing this.

The phone goes through spells where it will soft reboot every 10 minutes or less, and then periods where it will go days where it is stable. I have had this issue with multiple versions of the 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 leaks and am nearing wits end figuring out the cause.

Before each flash (and I have flashed multiple times with different stock leaks) I am wiping data and cache via recovery (I do not have CWM installed), then restoring apps only via TiBu. I have tried to be judicious about what I reinstall, but have not been able to identify if there is a misbehaving one yet.

I suspect this is software and not hardware, since I had this problem on my first Cap and have already done one warranty exchange; the external SD card, though, is the same for both.

I've looked for kernel panic logs and have not seen any, and have yet to find a good way to trap what is causing this.

This is my work issued phone (does Exchange sync and has company policies sent to it), so I am loathe to go all the way to a custom ROM, even though I realize that I voided the warranty when I rooted and went to leaked ROMs.

Anyone have an ideas as to what could be causing this, how I can isolate the problem, and hopefully resolve it once and for all? Worst case, I could go back to Froyo until AT&T finally drops the promised Gingerbread update, but I had different issues with Froyo with Market updates not always finishing and apps on the SD card not always being recognized.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] amwbt:
I recently soft bricked my phone due to freezing a /system/app in Titanium Backup that was needed by the system. Here is how I fixed it.

Run shell root from superoneclick in Early USB Enumeration

Once it says you have shell root, run the following commands:

adb shell

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

cd /system/app

busybox chmod -R 755 *

Make sure you put the space then the star character (*) after 755, that tells the system to set the permissions of all the files/apps, in the /system/app directory.

Lastly, run the command:

adb reboot

Your phone should reboot and be back up and running.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] franciscojavierleon:
what did you freeze so we don't make the same mistake?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
Hey, amwbt, could I post a link to this thread in mine (the TiBU Freeze thread)?

I'm sure it would make things a lot easier for people if things go wrong when they're freezing stuff.

Oh, and I'd of course give you due credit.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] amwbt:
Of course!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] amwbt:
Unfortunately, I don't remember which ones they were. Once I got my phone back up I immediately unfroze everything that was not in the recommended apps to freeze list in the OP [HOW TO] Deal with Boat Safely & Properly {Freeze Method/ROOT} | BIGGER LIST(S)! 3/1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Hello, thanks for posting this info! I asked a question in the atrix q&a area but perhaps it's best answered here.

My phone also got screwed up because of freezing something I shouldn't have.

How do I run super one click in early USB enumeration? I'm unfamiliar with super one click - on past phones I used other rooting methods, and I used aRoot and root v2 for the atrix.

My phone crashes during bootup when the moto logo begins the red dot animation - I don't know how to get super one click to recognize it at all, presumably because it's frozen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Please note that this will NOT work on 1.57.

Should I turn the phone off and try turning it on? I don't want to risk breaking it, if its still "flashing" its been stuck at the red triangle for about 10-15 minutes now...
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
It sounds like maybe the recovery didn't flash correctly. Pull the battery, it wont brick it. Then boot to the bootloader, and see if it is s on or s off. If its s off, we will try flashing a recovery. Give me a minute to get on my laptop, and ill post a recovery for ya.

Edit: I attatched a PC36IMG of Amon Ra recovery V2.3. Make sure it's just named PC36IMG, and put it on the main directory of your sd card. Boot to the bootloader, and after a few seconds it'll scan and ask you to update. Press Vol up to select yes. After that completes, try entering recovery and see if it worked. (this is all presuming that you are S off)
[EVO 4G General] mashalyssa:
I checked the bootloader and it says that S is still on. @_@ I'm gonna try putting your file in the SD card, and try autoroot 2.3 again, or should I use 2.2 ?
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
no use the newest, there were no code updates after 2 (i think) just updates to the files. try again....

edit: ya i realized where the script went wrong. you got eng build flashed fine, but the bootfrompc recovery never was pushed. just run the script again. if you get stuck at the same place again, just pull the usb and plug back in.
[EVO 4G General] mashalyssa:
So weird now.... whenever I try running Autoroot 2.3 it says it must be syn... but when I syn it says the following:

=================================

Starting ADB server...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

Checking MTD configuration...

Phone uses the old block size.

Firmware version '1.17.651.1'

Battery is at 82 percent.

Got Root!

Checking for needed files...

ERROR Could not access the SD card!

Make sure your phone is set to charge only and your phone is reading the SD card

properly.

Press any key to exit...

====================================

However, if I try running it in Charge Only mode... it says this....

================

Starting ADB server...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

The phone could not be found or was not ready. ADB and Fastboot report it as

'disconnected' instead of the expected 'device'. Make sure ADB debugging is

turned on, the phone is in the correct mode and that you are using HTC's Evo

drivers that come with HTC Sync.

Press any key to exit...

====================================

SO CONFUSING @_@
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
so do what it says... mount in charge only, make sure usb debugging is on (it might have turned off on the eng build, just double check) and plug in nice and snug. i'm sure xhausx will have u all fixed up by tomorrow if i dont first.
[EVO 4G General] mashalyssa:
Now it says it can't read the SD card in charge mode... omg lol, ima reboot the phone. maybe that will work.

soooo much work, all I wanted to do was overclock the CPU a bit, THATS ALL ;_;

so much easier on the huwai ascend xD

Well... I'm new on this forums, but can provide a small donation if some one can help me root my phone so I can overclock it I already have SetCPU purchased.

I'm kinda noob, so be patient >.<, thanks!
[EVO 4G General] mic.mayorga:
use unrevoked lol.
[EVO 4G General] mashalyssa:
I dont care how my phone gets rooted, I just want to overclock it, would prefer the easiest most noobiest way of doing it, if you dont mind ^^;;

My friend is good at this stuff, but his away on vacation for the next 2 weeks, what terrible timing :\

unrevoked, I think I tried that? Not sure... could you provide a link? Thanks!!
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
I was about to say...

Btw you can get much better (and I'm talking like 50% increase) without overclocking by flashing the newest cm7 nightly once it is released...

[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
I don't know if it helps but maybe you have an intermittent flaky cable? Only other suggestion that I did, but highly doubt it actually helped me, was literally don't move yourself. What I mean is if you accidentally moved the cable or phone, there could be a less than one percent chance that the data hiccuped.

I really doubt this but when I flashed mine, I was on my bed with the laptop and phone on the palmrest. I didn't move myself on the bed for fear I might cause the phone to brick. It sounds crazy I know!

I doubt it too but with previous phones, the data cable they give you isn't the greatest quality. Sometimes some cables, the microusb plug doesn't seat and lock itself in the socket. I am grasping at straws and this probably isn't what is wrong but it is just ideas...

Or maybe it is a sign that you shouldn't overclock it.
[EVO 4G General] mashalyssa:
Okay... so I shouldn't root the phone then? I mainly just want to increase its performance and maybe get rid of some of these useless apps it comes with.

I forgot to mention, I bought the phone 2 days ago, from Sprint all stock, and they updated the phone there, so its got all the latest updates and such, and I noticed that interferes with roots? So does that mean I can't root right now?

The only rooting experience I got is from Huawei Ascend Cricket... was easy as downloading file, clicking perma root, and it was done... xD, now if only evo was that easy :S
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
No of course you can root and you need to in order to flash a rom. Try unrevoked it is also one click

[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Agreed...its the only way I tell people to use
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
The sd card thing is just a bug in this version, it doesn't recognize the card if you are running the old Eclair software. You can get around it by updating back to froyo or by starting it while the phone is in fastboot or the recovery.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
Aha so here is xgausx... I was wondering when you would get here man! So ya listen to him its his auto root script...

then push Power to select FASTBOOT. You will see "FASTBOOT USB" highlighted

It is very important that your battery does not die while restoring. If needed

your phone will always be able to charge when turned off.

[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
thats kind of weird, can you go into the recovery and use the StartRecovery script to bring up AmonRA on your phone? Once it comes up you will be able to mount the sd card as a disk drive by using the USB MS mode, then look for a file called soff.txt on it. That should show what happened to cause unrevoked forever to fail. Can you also double check whether or not it shows s-on or s-off in your bootloader?
[EVO 4G General] mashalyssa:
Everytime I go into recovery it just stays stuck in the red triangle thing. Also it shows S-ON, and I checked my SD theres no AmonRA folder in there =S

I sent you the autorootlog.txt file via your email too, so I hope it helps!!

Autoroot

I did exactly what it said to do and then when it came on to backing up it hung, so I tryed to run the program again and was getting so many errors, I went thru to flashing the ruu again on flashzip and think i flashed the wrong number, i flashed 3 and now its saying that i have hboot11 which it doesnt let me go any further so now when i try to boot the screen is balck with HTC in white and four corners of the screen have the triangle exclamation point to it, thats it, this was my wifes phone, I rooted my evo the old way of pushing all the files etc so im not new to this, is there any possible way to get back to hboot 10 or is this phone screwed, please help

[Hero CDMA Android Development] giovannizero:
If you've already tried everything else to get 2.3 to boot including a capped kernel there is one more thing to check.

Make sure that you have the latest baseband installed. Follow the instructions on cyanogen to flash 2.42.02.10.29

It seems that support for the old baseband was removed after the first AOSP 2.3 roms and will cause your phone to bootloop.

Simple fix, good luck.

Hi All

newbie to this phone and semi new to android. Mine is a i5801 which is locked to orange. I have rooted the device using z4root.

But is there a easy way to put custom roms on this phone ?

Also is there a free easy way to unlock the phone from orange ?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 General] sheron:
to unlock the phone from orange

first download Odin and change ur firmware to anything other than orange(I5801BVJP9)

the instructions are here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=778880 (stock)

even if u use z4root the phone will not be rooted coz orange locks away access

the procedure is same as above to install new Roms

if u want custom roms then go for kyrillos jpf gingerbread v2.3 or lestatious v1.2

good luck!!

I have put a new firmware on there with 2.2 but its still locked :(
[Galaxy 3 General] sheron:
which one did u try

i once put orange from france on my phone &it got locked when i changed my firmware then it became unlocked

do u still have orange apps!!! if so then u did not change the firmware properly

try I5800XXJPA it is the basic firmware for froyo
[Galaxy 3 General] mizch:
Maybe there's a branding vs. locking confusion. If you flash e.g. an Orange Firmware, your phone gets branded, but not locked. It will still work with non-Orange SIMs (if it did so before). So no SIM lock, just branding. The phone will tell you it's from Orange, but not insist on using only Orange SIMs and nothing else.

Locking is a /efs thing, which, to my knowledge, has not been decoded yet. Also, /efs is not changed by flashing a new firmware. So, currently, there's no known way to unlock a locked G3 phone.

Except, of course, the official way: You got a phone at a reduced price. Part of the deal is that you now need to use SIMs from the company which had to deal with the difference. So it doesn't sound insane to me that you have to give them some money back to have them unlock your phone.

success , but it now say its rooted but its not :(

if u have superuser app then it's rooted that's it
