a. fix this tonight
b. fix this tonight
or c. go to oem stuff and send it back in (i dont know how to get it back to oem rom without active sync though) also if this helps it will sync to my older comp
You can flash another ROM by going into the bootloader (tri-colored screen) hold the volume down button and reset keep holding until the bootloader comes up then conect to your PC and when you see USB at the bottom you are connected to your PC and can flash any ROM! Thats how you bypass active sync to flash!

Lol, thanks man! Have you tried any other USB ports on your computer? Or is there another computer in your house you can try to connect to? It may not even be your phone, try plugging another device or something into the same USB and see if it recognizes that! Its all about process of elimination at this point!

Right on! Yea just like normal, double click the wrapper.RUU and your good! Glad that worked for you!
What I did and I would recomend to anyone is to buy a 1 gig SDcard and format it to FAT32 and use that just for flashing, its easy to do and its safer and much faster, cuts your flash time in half! If you are interested I can walk you through it! I havent connected to active sync for a couple of months!

You can but I still think flashing by SD card is the best, it just cuts out the middle man and gets a cleaner flash, less chance of anything going wrong too, ie: cords getting pulled out mid flash, ect, ect. Still, I am not sure if there are long term problems that can come out of starting flash strait from the bootloader everytime, I will have to look into it! Good question though! I am just glad you got it working, hate to see someone lose their phone or be out of one for awhile!

It depends on what bands the phone uses, The tp2 uses 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and at&t uses 850/1900 for their 3G so maybe or maybe not if you buy a euro version as some blackstones dont work with US 3G, but T-Mobile will be getting one and calling it the wing 2 and it will have 850/900/1800/1900 MHz so its possible that will work after it is SIM unlocked, we will have to see! Personaly I love the look of the Fuze and will wait awile before getting a tp2!
Hey im at school and i was thinking if the euro version only works sometimes then should i just wait til it comes out for att. but i wonder how long because i really am thinking about buying a euro version because it is a combo of all the phones i wanted. and did you know that verizon is still selling the the origanal touch
Also hey mods this is getting off topic but the problem was solved so you can lock this if you wish.

Seriously guys, especially considering that a lot of people are viewing these threads on telephones, how about rethinking whether or not having 18-line signatures identifying that you are in fact an HTC user (with an image to that effect), that you've used four different phones throughout your life along with individual lines to identify which rom and radio you've used for each (including those roms and radios of your Treos?!) is beneficial to the community. Signal to noise ratio people, signal to noise.
Now that you're thinking, yeah, that's pretty dumb of me, where's the control panel link, now think to yourself, why would you do that in the first place? I mean, c'mon. No one cares that you gave your palm 750 to your dad which ran a stock radio. Christ.
Mods too, you're the worst (I'm looking at you P1Tater) with your animated gifs. Okay I'll obey the rules because you've got high-production-value gifs that are more appropriate for les discothèques than XDA.

Okay call my adventurous or maybe stupid but could someone tell me if there is a thread that can help me with my issue.
I tried loading the AT&T Rom on my Bell I9000, thought it would be cool to try, but now I cannot get into download mode. I have been reading some threads and I guess loading the Rom has changed the three button configuration, then to add insult to injury when I plug in the phone to try and use adb it kills the USB connection and I cannot get into download mode this way either! Looks like I have a matching set of SGS bricks for a Christmas gift for someone!
Thanks in advance for anyone who might have a solution!!

Are you talking about the Verizon Fascinate or AT&T Captivate? There is no "AT&T Fascinate."
Sorry dude, that's a tough situation. Not to be rude, but why the heck would you be the first one to try this? It's incredibly risky flashing a ROM from a different device without knowing what will happen first. IMO the quantity and quality of I9000 ROMs is better anyway.
Hey,
Sorry for the confusion it is the AT&T Captivate Froyo Rom, thought it would be better then all of the European Rom's that I was flashing but I guess.......I WAS WRONG!!!
Flashing a captivate ROM onto SGS is never a good idea. Bad things happen.
if all else fails, you can make a usb jig that triggers download mode. theres a few threads on it around here somewhere.

Sorry, but that just plain common sense. You don't flash symbian on iphone. Captivate is a different phone.
That said - your not actually ****ed. Just go to google and find out captivate download button configuration. It was something like vol up, vol down power. And flash normal firmware.

All experienced users started at the same stage as you.
Except we READ the forums, asked QUESTIONS and gained knowledge.
Then when we were SURE, we flashed our first firmware.
OK...Power off the phone completely...hold down BOTH volume buttons and plug the USB cable in. DO NOT touch the power button. You should go right into download mode.
Hi,
Just wanted to give an update to my situation, and I followed the advice about the usb jig and to my big smiling face, success, reflashed a new firmware and my SGS is ALIVE once more!!!!!

Currently no, I sent an email to wifirouter which made the great app for our HD2's and the only reply they gave me was no so good, and that for how they see the OS now, it doesnt allow for it.
Lets hope Windows fixes that. Cause we need that. I really really need that.

Man, I'm right there with you. Same thing. Microsoft took a step backwards. Disappointment. I have to keep switching SIM cards to my AT&T tilt to tether. Serious BS.
all these answers have really really pushed me back, not buying until MS fixes all or most of the common things, tether, bluetooth atleast
I just got HD7 from ebay and got in love with it and the WP7 system in one hour time. But last and most important thing for me that I checked was usb tethering.
What a disappointment.
I hope M$ will make it soon available or I'll get rid of the phone unfortunately

First, is there any updates concerning tethering on the HD7? And second, why is everyone blaming Microsoft when they have already said that its availible but up to the carriers to offer it?
So about a week ago I tried to flash the alpha honeycomb rom. Played around with it a bit, but since Im in India I need my Tab to make calls via wifi back to the states, so I restored back to just before the flash. Then I saw there was a new build of Koush's kernal so I flashed that. About 3 days ago I started getting a weird wifi modem error and I would have to reboot to get wifi back. I just thought at first it was because the internet at my hotel isnt exactly amazing, and maybe i was building up a cache somehow? Honestly didnt really have a clue, but I didnt really care. Last night it got strange tho, I suddenly only had .90 mb of internal storage. I couldnt do anything because i had 0 space. So I deleted a few apps as fast as I could and used titanium to move everything else to the SD. I rebooted into cwm and wiped the cache, dalvik cahce, and even factory reset to no avail. then I downloaded the newest Koush rom thinking that if I just flashed another rom Id be fine because it would repartition and start fresh. Apparently not so much. I just bootlooped at the Verizon screen somehow. So again, thinking i knew what I was doing, tried to restore. Nooooothing again. Then I had to go to work so I got a buddys laptop and rebooted into download mode, installed heimdall on the pc and proceeded to try to flash the stock files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955342&highlight=vzw ... thought all would be well, but I got an error saying descriptor not found. So i reinstalled the driver thinking that was the error I got. Tried again and got an error -12. So i unplugged to see if I could do aaannnything in cwm... and my screen did this... has anyone seen this or know how screwed I am?? Im in Mumbai for 12 more days and I think Ive had the tab for about 2.5-3 months so far... kinda screwed huh?

so I made an attempt to flash the stock files. Hiemdall said it worked, but the progress bar on the tab never went past about halfway, overnight. Now it wont show that download screen unless its plugged into a power source and it turns itself off randomly then immediately turns back on into the download screen and does that process repeatedly. If I plug into the pc it is unresponsive and then turns off after a few min WTF did I dooooo?!?!

If you plug into a power source, without trying to turn your Tab on, do you get a battery icon?
Sounds like your battery is dead, in which case, if you can get it to charge you may yet be able to reflash...
Try letting it charge for at least a few hours and then take another crack at flashing.

Because im sick of seeing non-dev posts in the dev section. Its irritating to see and baffling how anybody could not have enough common sense to realise that posting stuff like this in here is wrong, We have a Q&A and Gen forum for that.
Because there doesn't seem to be any active Tab mods here to move/move, the only way make the users who make the posts in here aware is to tell them. If they are not made aware they will post their next topic here.
If nobody else is prepared to make them aware and to try and cut the crap down, I will, and don't care what you think.
when i had the origional error that you had it was because i tried flashing a kernel via heimdell on a virtual machine. i had the same screen, when i got to work the next day with a laptop that was windows i just booted into download mode and flashed a working kernel and it booted right up.

You do realise you can tell the op that this isn't the right forum AND help them and point them in the right direction. Doesn't sound too hard right? Maybe try it sometime.

I posted here because in other forums the general is mostly for those who have not rooted, and also have not flashed. In most cases people that know what theyre doing tend to only frequent the Dev sections, between that and the fact that all of my issues came from posts in the Dev section I thought this would be the correct place for it. apparently I am wrong, and sooo thankful that someone as heroic as yourself has stepped up to do away useless threads since we obviously have a space limit in our forum. wouldnt want to bog down our servers with my useless post of course...
regardless of the flaming and trolling... im still screwed, my post isnt moving and i will continue to ask those that know for help. thanks for the advice though, ill take it into consideration for my next post... now run along...
I have charged for about 9 hours now and still nothing could i have fried it somehow? If I bring it to verizon in the state its in, is there anyway for them to tell i flashed it? or will they just assume i did since it is pretty much in a state of brickiness as far as i can tell...
TIA and thanks to those whos British bigotry hasnt stood in the way of reading my post and attempting to lend a hand... where i come from the main purpose of a forum is to ask those who know for help and share the knowledge weve attained...
and im not getting a battery icon when i plug in, just the flashing on and off of the alternate download screen
thanks again
Ok to put this at rest coz its getting irritating. You are active old users. And you believe that tab needs more forum modding. I dunno what are the rules but when applying for a mod positions open apply or root for a candidate like yourself or nautious or bytork or anyone.
As for op does your tab get identified by your computer in odin or heimdell? As i said thats an alternate download mode. If computer identifies it. You can get a shot at flashing. Do it via a windows computer please. If tab is fried beyond repair which i doubt verizon will never know you flashed unless you tell them of course
sadly as of now the tab isnt read by the comp and i cant keep it in the download mode unless its plugged in
Hi,
I own a Captivate on Rogers (Canada).
I had the ROM Firefly 2.6 (or 2.4) and decided to change to something quicker or at least different.
I decided to put Cyanogen 7 on it, because many people told me to.
I succeeded in installing Cyanogen and it worked great, easy to use, fast, ultra fast reboot, nice looking... but not all the software I was looking for.
So I decided to change again to a JVQ SIMPLY.
Put it on the SD, move it to sdcard via Astro under Cyanogen and reboot in recovery mode to install update from sdcard.
It wrote that it was ok, and needed to reboot.
Now the only thing I have is "booting" from
- the very first screen with Galaxy S I9000 on it to
- a second one with Galaxy S Cyanogen(mod)
I can access the screen with the little android guy in the public works sign, yellow, with Downloading... and Do not turn off Target!!! (did it trying hard reset).
I couldn't reboot with 3 buttons (tested many methods), the one with Odin, I never ever succeeded with that one, and it continues changing from a screen to another without stopping but if I remove the battery of course.
What can I do from there?
Thank you for your help... again...
Just for clarification, did you do the Odin One-Click to stock? If you can get to the download screen (the yellow sign / "Do not turn off target" screen), you should be able to flash back to stock.
I tried the Odin 1-click, but I think that it won't work right now because I can't access the administrator rights (from work).
I must try from home tonight.
Will it remove everything like the fact it is root?
Thank you for your answer by the way.
The lack of admin rights is very possibly why it won't work. There's also the chance that without admin rights, you're not able to install the samsung drivers. Either way, waiting until you get home sounds like a good idea.
You might be able to do the Heimdall one-click without admin rights, but it would probably be wise to read up on that one first as it's in Beta right now.
The one-click to stock will put your phone in the state it came out of the box, but leave all your personal files on the phone. You will have Eclair 2.1, unrooted, straight as it came from (in your case) Rogers. Any pictures, music, etc you saved on your internal sd card (not the microSD) will still be there, but you'll have to re-root and reinstall any rom you want.
Ok, so I tried different Odin (one click) I found here, and the last one, from here:

Sorry to have to tell you this, but it looks like you might have fully bricked yourself.
If you are still under warranty, you can try to send it in for warranty service. If not, or if you aren't comfortable taking that route, look for a member named connexion2005 (or mobiletechvideos on google), who can do JTAG service for you for $50.
The JTAG thing is the special cable made from special resistor, right?
Or do you mean it is hard break and only expert can do something?
Thank you very much for your help and your support.

You're thinking of a Jig, which is a set of resistors that kicks the phone into download mode.
Unfortunately, you need JTAG, which is a special service that rewrites the bootloaders to the phone so that it can boot normally. That's something that you either need to be fairly knowledgeable about electronics to do yourself, or something you'll need to send in (to Samsung or mobiletechvideos) to have fixed.
Yeah I thought of a jig...
Ok, I will try the warranty, perhaps it is so much messed up, they won't find anything...
I will let you know.
See you.

Good luck - hopefully your next time around with custom Roms will go better.
I did many, many things with WInMo and never encountered any brick (sometimes I was close to the cliff, but never fell).
Since I have this Captivate, I not sure to really like it, I am fond of android either, and I don't take enough time to read carefully each post...
I think it is time for me to take an iphone...
Although you could do that, I think you'll find if you give yourself a little time with Android you'll come to really like it.
Don't get me wrong - the iPhone is a well made product. But it is one thing, and only one thing. Android devices can really be anything you want.
But that's my opnion. Do with it what you will.
People like you are gold, taking time to help newbie with the always same questions, don't selling android is the best (other are selling ios is the best), ...
I'll see what kind of hone I can find, because the Atrix was a cool phone I liked, and I always liked HTC (qtek before)...
Apple is expensive!!!

Thank you. I'm just trying to repay the many favors everyone else here on the board has done for me in the past.
Definitely look around - if the Captivate isn't working for you, there's plenty of Android phones that are every bit as good. I've also had good luck with HTC phones in the past, and Motorola's not bad, either.
And yes, Apple is expensive. Can't argue with you on that one.
This might be stupid question but, is your battery charged ?
Hi,
aww.W.T.F, I hope so yes... it was on the usb for hours... you put me a doubt... I need to check now!!
I asked Rogers for warranty, they charge $35 for an exchange, and 5 days to wait, I think this is a little bit too much. But I will do it.
What I discussed with a guy is that I will finish my current subscription with Rogers and take the HTC Sensation with Virgin... Another try with android, to follow jmtheiss.
I will continue to let you know about how it goes.
If my profile is closed tonight, this will be because I will be too ashamed because I had an empty battery...
P.S. Ok it is not the battery... I'm waiting for my new one and will send this one to warranty (I'll see what they can find or not...).
Okay, obviously I was rooted. Everything was great. I went into CWM, when I was going to flash a simple script mod (which every phone can use) well I accidently clicked off into my SGII files (which of course was stupid of me) and it installed fluxii kernel for SGH-i777. (intern flashes a custom recovery for the xx tweaker that that particular kernel uses. Of course, I didn't even realize I had done it, just went to Reboot Now. Now, I've got no Download mode, no bootloader, no anything, just blackness, I feel as if there is a simple key process or way to somehow get it fixed so I can flash it back via ODIN, but with all the confusing button combo's and ideas I've found so far, and all the ' types of bricks ' I dont know the best route about doing this, whomever helps me get my phone unbricked/unsoftbricked/superbricked/cute bricked, which ever version (assuming its possible) I swear on my life I will mail them a 32GB HP touchpad.
(I have 3 and only need 2) so, I hope this in some way will get me an answer soon.
I cantbelieve I pulled a n00b. No more not moving data from SD cards for me ever again...
Thanks, and the sooner the better.
Mail me here, or gmail me ( [email protected]) or heck text me if you want (i have my SGII still) just message me priavtely for the number. Thanks you guys you're the best.

I would rccomend trying to use Odin to see if it recognizes your phone? You may have to get a USB jig to force it into download mode and you may be able to save it that way I'm pretty sure a jig would work

Yeah thats Kinda my thinking as well unfortunately, Why the hell cant they sell them at like, I derno, the "rooted developer" store? hell Samsung should just include them in the box with as easy as root is. lmao What I don't get, is why the hell someone can't make a ' USB JIG ' out of their computer, or you know, something to tickle that little ports happy spot lmfao

Yeah, I'm mean there pretty cheap online and if you have the buts you can make your own since its only a 300k resistor. I think that's your only way out tbh :/

I just wanted this issue brought to attention to all the people from other forum sites ive tried to try their methods clearly, Marshmellows and Chicken dumplins wouldnt work, so if we could figure it out here, itd be nice to have it in a smart people zone. seriously someone f'n said, for me to stick my finger where the socket meets the charger... i was like, "consider me "BRICKED"
why cant they sell these damn jigs on craigslist for immediate satisfaction? oh well some idiot just offered to trade me one of my 3 SGII's I own for a note and 50 bucks haha "I WANT IT UNROOTED AND NORMAL" was his email. hahaha

Lol, how much would you be willing to sell your touch pad for by the way? And eBay is probably a good bet for a jig. Its just a pain nearly all of them are sent from china so you have to wait like 2 weeks :/

IN TRUE NERD FASHION: any devices you'd be willing to part with for one or two of them, I have 10 16gb the day I remember telling mom "MOM LET ME BORROW 2000 dollars I swear it will pay off take it out of my savings anything" haha...
but cash isnt whats important to me, just technology really..idk, hell they're going for ridiculous onebay right now. and err, lets just say mine dont run CM9, or MIUI, hell I have my own recovery, Webos is all i knew for a while. I was always scared to post here, for the number of n00b post haters. I just stopped caring about those haha. I also have 2 Palm pre 2's running Android via a glitch in the Launcher/Wallpaper, and a Pre 3 Running ICS hybrided with basically the apps running in the 'recent windows ' version of ICS....
I really dunno man right now is I NEED TO GET THIS NOTE FIXED ASAP anyone know like a local place to go get it fixed temporarily they've gone to before. hell XDA should buy like shipments of them. we're the only ones that buy the damn things anyway.
also one more idea i found is this: idk if it just doesnt make sense to me, but if someone can make sense of it for me, and tell me its worth a shot...by all means..explain. http://samsunggalaxyreview2.blogspot.com/2011/07/one-click-unbrick-tool-for-samsung.html

It might be worth a go man. I would reccomend having it plugged into a computer and keep trying to turn it on even if the screen doesn't turn on and see if Odin picks anything up. Its not going to hurt your device anymore :/ you could always go to a hardware store and buy a mini USB and a 300k resistor and trying to make a jig yourself if that unbrick doesn't work (which I don't think it will)

Well what do I have to lose? Potentially (with better instructions of course and a noob friendly UI) if it works on my note, ill try it on my original galaxy...who knows few tweaks and maybe all these folks suffering from bricked Notes/SII/SIII's will have an easy way to fix it. (hey guys, just let me be optimistic here.. at least unti somebody else comes up with a bright idea haha

What have you done so far?

Fixed. I'll write up a XDA guide, and no I didnt use that silly guide. I used a trick the stupid guy at samsung tech support told me about something on the back of the phone will write up in a bit.
it involves a paperclip, and a hidden compartment behind somewhere where most would never dare stick anything, its rather a hidden reset button or something I wouldnt recommend it to anyone however...if someone finds themself in a bind id gladly help, but its that way or shipping it back if done wrong basically I just got lucky.
so CLOSE THREAD PLEASE THANKS
Red brick with white cement pattern, I dig that type of brick
