[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapinWinky:
The FRG83 link that goes to google is down and has been for a while. The one that goes to HTC is a full image and does not work with HBOOT 00.35.0017 for whatever reason (after verifying image, it simply goes back to normal hboot screen with no prompt or failure message).

My ultimate goal is to replace the emailgoogle.apk with a modified one. To do that, I need root. So my new goal is to root my phone without unlocking the boot loader. You can't root Gingerbread (actually it's all about HBOOT 00.35.0017) with a locked boot loader at the moment, so my newer goal is to downgrade HBOOT. There currently does not seem to be a viable way to do that.

There was this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726258#7197502

But it both requires root (which I don't have yet) and the links are dead.

There also seems to be no published way to re-lock a boot loader, though I know it has been done.

As silly as it sounds, my reason for not wanting to unlock is the padlock image. I bought a busted phone on ebay and fixed it, so I don't have warranty.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
The FRG83 file is a zip within a zip, which is why it isn't working...

The hboot version doesn't make a difference when trying to root. If you are currently on FRG33, you can root using this method:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapinWinky:
That did the trick. I PASSIMG.zip'ed back to FRG33 and followed your guide to the letter. I was a little worried since the chmod commands failed, but I ran the rage script anyway and then started over. The second time the chmod commands worked and everything went perfectly. Installed Rom Manager, flashed clockwork, then replaced it with Amon Ra.

Got rooted gingerbread and stuck in my modded emailgoogle.apk for good measure.:D

EDIT:

For anyone searching for this, I specifically use the 656099b119f8.signed-passion-ota-102588.656099b1.zip update to go from FRG33 to GRI40 gingerbread 2.3.3 and without rebooting applied another update.zip that re-installed superuser. Specifically look for this guide: h t t p://forum.xda-developers. c o m/showthread.php?t=931865 and mostly disregard it except for downloading the su-***-signed.zip and then looking at is post: h t t p://forum.xda-developers. c o m/showpost.php?p=11626567&postcount=70

Of course, you have to have a custom recovery to flash both the gingerbread update and the super user update! And don't forget to mount /system before doing the super user update!

Will post this in general, but wanted to ask developers:

Maybe you can bake in whatever Captivate Keep Alive is doing to next ROM iterations as it seems to completely fix the tablet not waking up after leaving it for a while.

Tested on 2 different GTabs running Calkulin's, CM 7 Harmony and Vegan 5.1.1

Tablet used to require boot after leaving it, now it will always wake up, after 1 hour, 20 hours, etc. Plugged in or not.
[G Tablet General] wtang:
You might want to check the apps that you are running. You may have an app that is causing this "sleep of death". I was having the same problem with my tablet not waking up after sleeping for a few hours. In my case I found out the problem was an app called Timeriffic. Even if you don't have Timeriffic, another app may be causing your problem. See this thread:

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME, IM SOO SCARED. i am using 2.2.1, the gingerbread theme.i cant move apps, they keep saying "moving": forever, but never move,

therefore i cant install it, the only way that might work, is the custom.zip, with apps in it.thats what ive been thinking of so far, but how can i make that .zip folder? i got the titaniumbackup, using xrecovery, there was a .zip,and when i go in "partition tools", my cashe is always mounted, even if i unmount, it gets mounted.

I have a home network with several computers with shares. I can see all of the computers using Shares Finder. One thing I can not get to work is my Media server shares. I was able to mount for a while last night using CifsManerger but is stopped working.

I have one computer that I can see all the shares with Shares Finder. I can use ES File Manager and access to shares but not on any other computer. All my computers are running Windows 7 and I have gone over and everything looks setup exactly the same.

When Share Finder runs it says SMB: 12 files and that is the number of shares found and will list all the shares and these are the shares I can access. My Media PC will not do this. Any Ideas?

Also has anyone else had a problem with waking the NC from sleep after 30-60 mins? I believe it's from using SetCPU. I tried different profiles and it still happens. After I uninstalled SetCPU the sleep/wake up issue went away.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to help a friend with upgrading the OS on his T-Mobile G1. Right now his phone is running the original Donut 1.6 which is rooted.

In "fastboot" mode he can see the following info:

CPLD-4

SPL/hboot 0.95.0000

radio 1.22.12.99

Ideally I'd like to upgrade his phone to Gingerbread, what ROM version is recommended? Any radio/SPL upgrades needed?

[G Tablet General] Triskite:
Had read a few suggestions for fixing this "sleep of death" issue on the G tabs... doesn't seem anyone has posted this

I've tried multiple ROMS, multiple apps like Regpon Wifi stay awake etc. and multiple GTabs...

The only thing that repeatedly seems to completely fix the not waking after sleep issue is an app called "Captivate Keep Alive"

Instead of tying wake to WiFi or CPU, it lets you tie it to battery %.

Try it, let me know if it works on your ROM.

Tested working 100% for Vegan 5.1.1 and CM 7 Harmony.

Tablet used to require boot after leaving it, now it will always wake up, after 1 hour, 20 hours, etc. Plugged in or not.
[G Tablet General] gsterin:
Completly agree. I tried all ROMs, and Kernals(up to .40). Nothing helps, but Captivate Keep Alive.
[G Tablet General] ashwinmudigonda:
I had a similar, but not same issue. My WiFi would turn off completely when teh screen went blank. I could not ping it. Turns out that I had to update my kernel to pershoot's 2.something.39. That fixed it. I do find it every now and then totally unresponsive but pressing the power button patiently 3-4 times wakes it up. I'm running CM7.
[G Tablet General] pfbrown26:
App works

So glad I found this thread. I was having this same issue using TNT Lite and installed Captivate Keep Alive. I have been able to turn on from sleep without the reboot.
[Captivate General] MMAHavok69:
I got a captivate back in september and recently I hard bricked it. So Iwent to the store and they gave me a new one for free under warrenty (they couldn't even turn it on and apparently the power back on was a known issue for the model I had, even for now rooted users). Well long story short, even before I did the kies mini update to froyo I noticed the GPS was spot on, really fast before and after update. I think the older ones suffer from a hardware issue more than a software issue.
[Captivate General] low99:
off topic: can't believe they actually gave you a new one when you *bricked* it, cause I thought when you root your phone, your warranty is void.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
^^^I'm guessing he didn't tell them what actually caused the problem.
[Captivate General] LNJ:
What's the manufacture date on the new unit?

I got mine less than a couple of weeks ago and I think mine is 12/10
[Captivate General] bames:
for what its worth my first captivate purchased on launch day didn't seem to have hardware issue (seemed to be software problem). With the first captivate i had strong consistent stationary lock times and strength. Would usually lock in under 20-30 seconds max and see 8-9 sats with locks on 7-8. The problem was the device could not track when moving with JF6 or JH7. Turn by turn nav was unusable to a ridiculous degree. That being said with a handful of roms my tracking became spot on and lock times/strength even increased.

Just using 1 rom as example (Supernova) locks times were usually 10-12 seconds almost always under 15 seconds seeing 10-12 sats with locks on all or all but 1. Better yet as previously mentioned i could finally use the gps for turn by turn navigation.

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

Received replacement refurb captivate (shutdown issue) last week and while i was peeved that its imei and manufacture date are still within range of affected devices i was pleasantly surprised by something else (a fully functional GPS on stock).

The device arrived with JH7 installed....i wasn't surprised by fast, accurate, stable locks because my first captivate accomplished the same (although these were faster and more in line with the improved performance i had achieved with custom roms).

When i took the unit out for a drive and some navigation i expected epic fail on stock...so i was extremely surprised when it tracked me turn by turn without any issues. I am on a custom for obvious reasons but my stock GPS on this new device that was manufactured in July was spot on.
[Captivate General] jhogal1:

How long have you had the new phone? Is this the same "great" results we got upon doing a hard reset only to find out a few days later it still sucked?

I purchased 2 last October and 1 at xmas time and all 3 had bad gps. Installing a custom ROM was the only thing that has made my gps tolerable.

Where did you find the date? I got a new one last week that came with 2.2. I guessed it was new? Was not impressed with the gps. Comparing it to a htc desire. Now that I have installed serendipity the gps works a lot better.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
On the sticker under the battery, mine is 1007 for 07/10.
[Captivate General] pontiacmn:
I am more inclined to think it is more software related. Otherwise I would still expect to have a bad gps. It now will even show me at my exact address in google maps.
[Captivate General] canadaboy37:
I had to return one of my Captivates under warranty (touch input broke), and the refurb has had amazing GPS...even on stock. The replacement is a 1007.
[Captivate General] CatFan:
I agree with the people that think it is a software issue. I got my first Captivate in the middle of August. I only had it for a week before all sound quit and I got a different unit. The replacement they gave me was also a new unit, not a refurb. The original unit had a flawless GPS. I even remember thinking how quickly it got a lock and it was always spot on. My current unit has a GPS that could be out-navigated by a blind man with Captain Jack Sparrows compass! I live in Louisville KY and when I drive down River Road, which follows the Ohio river, it usually shows me driving in the grass on Indiana's side of the river, while telling me it is 16 meter, or better, accuracy!! The river is about 200 - 300 yards wide at that point. Sounds a lot more like 100 meters to me! You know you have a screwed up GPS when it can't even figure out what state you are in. I will give it credit for repeatability though, it ALWAYS shows me in the wrong place.

[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Everybody got Froyo update for free. They are probably updating replacement phones to Froyo simply to prevent any issues with users updating via Kies.
[Captivate General] MMAHavok69:
NO WAY IN HELL was I going to tell them it was rooted if they couldn't even turn it on either to check. The tech at the warranty place said that not being able to power back on was a known issue for the model I had. I had to update myself to 2.2. But I'm so happy with the GPS now, I get my exact location in under 10 seconds most of the time.

Captivate SGH-i897

Batch no: 1008

Manufacture date: August 28, 2010

Not rooted. Stock, stock, stock.

Updated to Froyo on March 1

Here's an abbreviated version of a long story: :)

In order to solve another problem (could not send MMS messages), I did a master clear and reset. Before that traumatic event I was very, very, very--this is a family-oriented forum so I will just say--disappointed in the GPS which usually gave me somebody's position at about the same time I arrived at my destination.

After the reset Chartcross's GPSTest showed the GPS locks on four birds usually within a minute. Amazed, I drove about 150 miles (freeway and side roads) yesterday and the little blue triangle in Google Maps was right on top of me the entire way. Turning off the phone, driving ten miles and restarting the GPS got a lock in less than a minute (which test I've repeated several times over the last week). FWIW, I use a Garmin GPS for geocaching so I have some familiarity with GPS's.

Watching the bars in GPSTest, I have learned to keep my hands away from the upper two-thirds of the phone's body because that improves reception. In a car, reception is improved with the sunroof shade open or the phone on the dashboard (in a "sandbag" phone mount).

If you are unhappy with your phone's GPS performance and it has a similar background to this phone, you might try a master clear and reset. Either you will be very happy with the results or just as unhappy as you were before but, in any case, you will have an opportunity to spend several hours with your phone in a symbiotic relationship rebuilding it with settings and apps.

YMMV. Yada-yada-yada...
[Captivate General] RonH54:
I tried a new Gingerbread Modem on a Custom Froyo ROM to see if it would work. Though I couldn't use because I couldn't get any Network Service I did test Wifi Speed and GPS tests. It was super with Wifi and GPS locked in like 10 seconds and within 5 meters. I had never had that kind of GPS service.
[Captivate General] najay:
I had a similar experience. I returned my 1007 phone (purchased in august) last week for the random shutdown issue and bad gps. They gave me a 1009 phone that shut down 5 times a day. I returned that phone 2 days later and got a new 1007 phone, new simcard, and new battery (the shotgun approach to repair).

This phone has not shut down once, and will lock 7 satellites in a room where normal gps units have issues.

I am very happy now.
[Captivate General] Harveythedog:
@Picsman, I find I get a similar result from "delete GPS data" via Lbstestmode........for a while anyway.

If I want my GPS to perform at it's best (however you want to describe that) I seem to need to do this first....
