How did I permabrick my cappy?

Flashing with Odin, I restored to the Rogers stock 2.1 firmware, however the phone refused to boot past the rogers loading screen. I re flashed the phone a few more times playing with the flashing options of Odin, using alternate stock .tar files with no luck. My final flash caused the phone to get into such a state that going into download mode no longer worked, as well as it failing to boot. Luckily Rogers warranty has replaced the phone for me :D

Any ideas on what caused the phone from booting into the OS, so I don't do it again?

Additional Questions

1. The new cappy given to me through the Roger's warranty has stock 2.2 loaded on it. Is there anyway to back up this firmware to a tar file for later use? If so, how can I use it in conjunction with Odin to restore to stock 2.2?

2. Do I HAVE to restore the phone to 2.1 eclaire firmware before loading a custom ROM on it? Or is it possible to root / reboot into clockwork recovery and successfully flash from stock 2.2 froyo?

3. In my past experiences, after restoring to Rogers 2.1 stock firmware through Odin, kies no longer recognizes the firmware currently loaded on my device... Is this normal? Any fixes? Is there anyway to get kies to recognize the firmware such that it would be able to upgrade or even wipe the phone with the standard stock firmware? I ask this because on the new kies I see the function "emergency firmware recovery".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
did you brick flashing the NEW stock 2.1 thats in my sig? or the old one that messed alot of people up in a few ways?

#1 yes but unsure how to make, it would be used like any other tar and odin.

#2 from what ive seen sofar, 2.1 wont boot on phones that came with 2.2, but it was a noob i was talking to that had the issue. the only thing you run into is having 3e recovery and needing the fix before you can load clockwork on 2.2. all is good from there.

#3 normal. no fix. keis sucks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machher:
Yeah it was from the one in your sig (linked in the stickies I believe).

Thanks for the link! and the prompt response

Are there any .tar files floating around for the Rogers froyo 2.2 that address the warranty / logo issues? (search function seems to be broken).

Any stock 2.2 rogers .tar files for use with Odin floating around the board?

What is your recommendation with regards to proceeding with flashing? Should I try to flash 2.1 on the phone with 2.2 preloaded, or just go the 3e clockwork recovery fix route?

Any other pieces of reading you might be able to point me towards in this regard?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
I would suggest adding your locale to your profile for future reference, as restoring an I896 is different than an I897.

There is also another way to get clockwork on your phone.

Use Odin and just flash the speedmod kernel .tar from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880

I have done it this way since I got my phone and have yet to run into a problem. This works with 2.2 only.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
2.2 odin flashable (NO ATT boot fix) and cwm upgrade from 2.1 zip. are here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905042

the person i mentioned before that couldnt get my 2.1 stock to boot on his 2.2 ... he did fix the att boot by un-successfully flashing my 2.1 then the 2.2 overtop, then it booted correctly WITH the i896 bootscreen, basically double flash.

i will contact the creator of the updated 2.1 and see if he can do it to 2.2 as well.

feel free to attempt to flash 2.1 to confirm weather or not it does work on a phone that comes with 2.2. as this isnt confirmed. also note any new notes on the 2.1 stock rom page.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
oh and speaking of the updates on that page...

theres the fix for the getting stuck at rogers bootscreen on first boot after flash... (the problem you had)

reboot into recovery and clear data and cache, reboot. done.

sorry its late...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
That's common. Everytime I flash the gf's Galaxy Spica, that's the first thing you have to do with it is clear the data and cache. I just do it instinctively now.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kah-Neth:
Any app that uses the camera seems to force close on me. Examples include the amazon.com, droidshooting, layar, etc. After the force close, the camera app itself reports that is cannot connect to the camera. The native camera app, google googles, and barcode scanner app seem to be immune to the initial crash. The amazon app worked before I updated to 2.3.2, have not tried it since. Is this a common issue, or should I exchange my phone. I am running stock, pushed OTA 2.3.3 manually. I have had no other issues with this phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
go to the main settings, applications, manage applications, all, camera, then press the clear data button. check and see if that fixes the problem for you :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kah-Neth:
It did not. The camera app itself works, until some other app trying to use the camera forcecloses.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try clearing the data on one of those apps that force make the camera force close.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kah-Neth:
Still force closes. I am thinking it may be something changed in the way the phone handles having two cameras.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kah-Neth:
Has anybody else had this problem with amazon app?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScotchtapeLoser:
I have the problem with the bar code scanner part of the Android app. The take a picture part works fine for me. i tried wiping, different roms, 2.3.2, 2.3.3...even restoring back to an older nandroid backup. I don't use the bar code scanner often so I don't remember if the older version of 2.3 worked previously

Glad to see someone else is seeing it and not just my phone. I asked a similar question a few days ago and the replies were basically don't use amazon.. use something else... blah blah..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kah-Neth:
Does the camera stop working for other apps after you do this? When I try certain apps, they forceclose, then the camera will not at all until i reboot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScotchtapeLoser:
Yes. If I try to use the amazon bar code scanner, it kills the camera and no other camera app will work until I reboot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScotchtapeLoser:
bumping.... the way the camera is called in 2.3.3 is different. Amazon corrected the problem with their app in the recent update. The other programs will have to do that eventually as well.

UPDATE - MMS UPLOADED

After trying to port ARC SMS app to CM 6 I thought it would be better to do the other way. Because porting app from is not that easy.

Mms t.zip

http://www.mediafire.com/?knn66s64ktvo1g5

Since these mods are being used in several other roms and confirmed working I changed the title a little bit.

Modified Contacts.apk Contacts_t.zip

Now all the contact.apk windows use the blue background.

____________________________________________________________________

Previous mods

Settings.apk Settings_t.zip

There are some settings like call settings CM settings which are still black. Relevant apk files should be edited to get them use the background image.

This version should be Framework independent so it might work on other ROMs too. But I'm not sure as I didn't check. You can change the background by replacing settings_bg.png

Framework

New framework for V4.5 with glossy radio buttons check boxes etc.

(black status bar/ V4.4 battery icon)

framework-res.zip

http://www.mediafire.com/?o68go5c8ah69t8e

V4.4 framework with black bar

framework-res_V4.4_Dark.zip

http://www.mediafire.com/?pp3h1utlfl8fofz

If you have any problem with V4.4 replace the old framework

(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12206211&postcount=38)

Modified Phone and Contacts (OLD)

For modified phone and contacts see the attachments below....

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

ABOUT BLACK BG & CUSTOMIZED MENU

I'll start to work on it as soon as I'm finished with modding all the apks like Mms Contacts etc. Because it is easy for me to change them at once. Please bear with me :)

If you can't wait try it yourself :)

I´ve tested GoDialer + GoContacts and they're very smooth. Only thing keeping me away from it is that i don't want to have 2 apps for the samething on the phone. There is anyway to remove the original dialer and contact book without breaking everything else?

I don't know if you can remove it, but for me it doesn't matter. i don't think it would consume more battery if you have both on your phone. you can also set the default action for missed calls etc to go dialer and as i nearly never use the appdrawer, it never gets in mi sight :p. sorry for my bad english, my native language is german

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] fiscidtox:
I flashed it and it didn't look like that when flashed. The right backspace button did, but only until you typed numbers then it looked like the others
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] akila87:
I'd be delighted if you include this :)

The left button is disabled because voice mail is deactivated in the phone. It will be same as others if you have voice mail activated.

Ya because that button is disabled until you type something. :)

This is how it looks without any text.

I actually was kinda rushed. If you can, make one that doesn't mod notifications at all? I want to keep the checkboxes and whatnot but I also want my old notification style back. Basically if you can, a framework that just plain does nothing related to notifcations.
