[Q] Not able to update ROM

Hi All,
These are my mobile details previously :
Mobile details: Samsung Captivate
ROM:FROYO.UCJI6
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
BASEBAND VERSION:I897UCJI6
FIRMWARE VERSION:2.2
nUMBER OF aPPS: 46
I am new to the ROM world and this is my first time.
So i strictly followed the tutorial in this link on "[HowTo W/Pack] Flash Stock I9000 2.3.3 NEE Updated (again) 4/25/11"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045734
Which says :
1. Wipe data and cache/Factory Reset with CWM. (pull battery when complete to shut off phone)
2. Find the "GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl.exe" file and click it and extract its contents into its current folder.
3. Open up Odin 1.7 and now select the 512 pit file I included, and select all the files in the necessary place in Odin and make sure "repartition" is selected". your odin should look like this http://d.pr/Ixt2
4. Put Your phone in download mode and connect, now hit start. (THIS IS WHERE THE ONLY DANGER IS, YOU ARE NOW FLASHING 2.3.3 AND THE NEW BOOTLOADER INCLUDED WITH 2.3.3 Just dont unplug your cable or have your computer die, otherwise you will be 100% Clear)
5. Boot up normally and let things settle.
6. now power off the phone and wait for it to shut off completely. at this point hold down "Volume down and Power" at the same time and wait till download digger appears. Open up Odin and select the 512 pit and xcals kernel(In the PDA box) I included and DE-select repartition if it auto selects and go ahead and connect your phone (Obviously needs to be in download mode) and flash.
7. The phone will reboot and once again let things settle (media scanning and whatnot). Plug in the USB cable and transfer the folders included in this pack named "Fixes and modems" and also "For Rooting" to your phone. then power off the phone once again. this time hold down "Volume Up and Power" as soon as you see the screen turn on let go of the power button and continue to hold volume up until you see CWM.
8. at this point you should be in CWM (Woot!). navigate to flash zip from SD and then navigate to the folder "Fixes and Modems" and flash "Enable CRT Lock.zip" and "update-xvjvb-home_button_fix.zip" and I recommend flashing "modem_ugjk4.zip" as JK4 seems to do the best.
9.Reboot. At this point reboot and you should be on stock 2.3.3! Congrats!!
10. If you want to root read the txt file i included for rooting!
I was able to install the ROM till the 7th step,but from there iam not able to apply the fixes and modems.
Once i press the volume up and power button its taking me to Andriod system recovery <3e> mode:
I have four options here:
1)reboot
2)update from sd card
3)wipe data card / factory reset
4)wipe cache parition
when i choose update from sd card by pressing power button,nothing is happing.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Another issue iam facing is when i make call installing this rom my normal speaker under the at &T logo is not working,i have to switch on the speaker to talk to anyone, and thereturn key is also not working.
Best Regards,
Chandu.

I gt it resolved after installing the correct rom

[Q] Sprint tab, Low and Space message

This is after reset back to ea24. All my old info is still there after doing a factory Wipe, wipe cache. All apps crash, and Internal Device storage says only 35.95 MB free. This is with a new flash to EA24 and nothing installed.
Anyone know how else you can force the tab to reset to factory or wipe factory partition and reflash?

BTW this all started right after I updated the Dolphin browser, which did not remember my settings and started the first ran wizard everytime the Dolphin browser was opened.

This is the directions from Samsung Support, but the first step does not take me to any recovery screen. It turns the tab on and then back off if you hold it for 15 seconds.
Victoria: Power off the device.
Victoria: Hold the Vol Down Key + Vol Up Key + Power Key for 15 seconds then release.
Victoria: When the recovery screen comes up, use the volume up key and volume down key to navigate through the selections and the power key to select item.
Victoria: Select Delete all user data to recover the device.
Victoria: To confirm, scroll down and select Yes – delete all user data.
Victoria: The device reboots and again displays the recovery screen.
Victoria: Select Reboot system to restart the handset again.

Those steps should have indeed wiped out any and all settings, apps etc, so if they're still there after doing the wipe (might try doing the process 3x.. galaxy s devices seem to have better luck 3x.. and no you don't have to reboot into recovery, just do the wipe 3x in recovery.) then you might have a messed up device...

After attempting the steps above a few more times now the tab is locked in the Computer and Phone icon and no way to boot in to any other mode. Time to contact Samsung for a return?

Are u able to get into download mode maybe reflash to origional firware and see if it does the same thing

[Q] HELP!!! Cant access recovery mode & WiFi isnt connecting at all [MIUI 1.11.25]

[Q] HELP!!! Cant access recovery mode & WiFi isnt connecting at all [MIUI 1.11.25]
After I upgraded to the new MIUI rom, I noticed that the Gmail app and the Email app where crashing all the time so I thought it would be a good idea to to wipe the Dalvik cache, do a factory reset and reinstall the ROM...
I wanted to clear everything and start new... so I wiped the sdcard, sd-ext, data/cache, dalvik... then i flashed the Miui rom and made a new sd-ext3, made it 1Gb... the phone restarted normally, i installed the a2sd on the sd-ext3, everything was fine, I started re-downloading my programs. but then I restarted the phone and all the program I had installed were gone... and the a2sd+ partition was showing 0.00B of space while myy sdcard was showing that there was 1Gb missing... worse, the gapps (gmail, market etc) were gone... thought another factory reset would solve the issue, so I went into the settings/system/about phone/factory reset... it brought the gapps back but the a2sd was still showing 0.00B of space. not only that, but I couldnt connect to my wifi anymore (it keeps saying "obtaining ip adress")... also, ever since, I cant factory reset anymore... as soon as I do, the phone restart and is stuck in a bootloop... so I have to take out the battery and put it back to switch it on properly...
I tried to reboot it in recovery so that i could both reflash the MIUI ROM and re-install the sd-ext3 with less memory this time... but I couldnt get into the recovery mode no matter what. it was amon ra v2.2.1 recovery... I downloaded Rom Manager from the internet so I could switch recoveries, and I switched to clockworkmod, but still couldn't access the recovery. I thought Rom Manager wasnt not working properly so I tried flashing new recovery image through adb and fastboot, but it wouldnt even let me do it... looked for ways to bypass the recovery mode and flash the rom but it still wouldnt work... So now im stuck with the phone unable to go into recovery mode.
The phone otherwise still works, I still get and can make phone calls, but I cant connect to the internet unless using my credit, and even that for some reasons does not allow me to connect to google servers, meaning that I cannot use the Market...
How can I get My phone to work properly again?

I know you might have done this but I gotta ask the following:
- Did you pull out the battery, put it back in, and hold POWER + Trackball + Volume Down until you got to fastboot. Then select the recovery option?
- Can you please tell me what exactly it said when you tried to flash a new recovery to your phone via adb? What commands did you use to flash it in the first place.
Please provide more details so we can help you.

Is your phone unlocked? If so, the easiest way is to just reflash a recovery image using:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\location\to\recovery.img"
Then you can boot directly into the new recovery by changing the flash command to boot.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery "C:\location\to\recovery.img"
Then I would wipe the /system partition and reinstall MIUI.

Start a fastboot mode:
+ Download the fastboot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8180983/N1/fastboot.zip
+ Extract the contents of fastboot.zip to some directory of your
preference
+ Download the su.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8180983/N1/su.zip
+ Copy to the root of SD * Do not extract the contents, simply copy
to the root of SD *
+ Turn off your phone
+ Press and hold the trackball, press the power
+ The phone will connect in fastboot mode
+ Plug the USB cable
+ You will see a highlighted message "USB fastboot"
2 Unlock your bootloader:
<WARNING - This procedure below deletes all your
SETTINGS!>
+ At the command prompt / terminal, go to the directory where you
Drew fastboot.zip
+ If rWindows:
+ Go to Start> Run> cmd
+ Use the cd command to access the directory where you extracted the
fastboot.zip
+ Type-windows.exe fastboot devices
+ In the list will show your device
+ Type fastboot-windows.exe oem unlock
+ If it is Linux:
Run the + terminal of your choice
+ Use the force, become as root (su -)
+ Go to the directory where you extracted using fastboot.zip
cd
+ Enter. / Fastboot-linux devices
+ In the list will show your device
+ Enter. / Fastboot-linux oem unlock
+ If Mac, use the same steps as replacing the Linux
for fastboot. / fastboot-mac
+ Confirm unlocking
+ Now your phone will accept any customROM
3 Install any custom recovery:
- I used ClockworkMod, but there are others, such as Amon_Ra's.
http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-passi ...
+ If linux:
+ With the phone connected to usb fastboot mode and type:. /
linux-fastboot flash recovery <caminho/ para/ o/ arquivo/> / recovery-
clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img
+ If windows:
+ With the phone plugged into usb mode and type fastboot: fastboot-
windows.exe flash recovery <caminho/ para/ o/ arquivo/> / recovery-
clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img
+ If MAC:
+ With the phone connected to usb fastboot mode and type:. /
fastboot-mac flash recovery <caminho/ para/ o/ arquivo/> / recovery-
clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img
+ Okay, you installed a custom recovery and now has several
features such as nandroid backup / restore and etc..
- Accessing the custom recovery
Press + power and return to the bootloader menu, you will see an option
called RECOVERY, select it using the volume buttons and press
power to start the customrecovery
+ Will load a black screen with an exclamation point, press power
and the volume +
+ You are on the menu, scroll using the trackball or the keys
volume, to select, press the trackball

I could get to the fastboot and was selecting the recovery option, but then it was stuck in a bootloop. When I was trying to flash using the command prompt it was saying that there were errors. but Dont worry, I fixed it. Turns out the errors were due to the fact that the command couldnt find the location of the image...

[Q] Can I ADB pull media files from device? Help please!

Hey guys!
I've been having a lot of problems with a Samsung Galaxy S Plus recently. After my girlfriend entered the wrong picture password a number of times in a row, the phone locked down. I tried to activate data connection using the power menu (hold power button), which I had deactivated before it locked down. My attempts to log in failed when the device returned either 'invalid username' or 'invalid password' (they are - of course - neither). This is apparently a known problem. I then followed the following instructions to trick the device into thinking the google account had been verified: droidwiki .de/Muster_vergessen#Muster_l.C3.B6schen (warning, that site is in German). For this I successfully managed the following steps:
1.) Installation of ADB tools
2.) Installation of ClockwordMod using Odin in order to accomplish the ...
3.) Activation of USB debugging.
4.) Rooting the phone using these instructions: androiddrole .com/how-to/how-to-easily-root-samsung-galaxy-s-plus-i9001
All these steps worked as expected. Then however, the trouble started: When trying to set the number of failed pattern attempts to 0, the following command failed: "cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases" ("can't cd to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases"). Additionally I could no longer boot into android as the phone kept booting directly into CWM (This is apparently also a known problem). I proceeded to install a newer version of ClockworkMod Touch (using zip on sd card) hoping this would allow me to break the loop. It didnt. So I replaced ClockwordMod with TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP). This did finally allow me to exit the recovery mode only to get stuck in a full-out reboot loop: Samsung logo -> black screen -> Samsung logo -> black screen. In order to get out of this reboot loop I used Odin to flash boot_loader.tar and the original version of ClockwordMod onto the device. After a number of failed attempts this suddenly worked - kinda:
The current situation is this: The phone no longer boots directly into recovery mode (good). It doesnt boot into android either though. It just reboots over and over again - this can be stopped however by using 'Volume Down' + 'Home' + 'Power' to access ClockwordMod.
My hopes of getting my phone unlocked and working as before again are rather slim at this point. I would still like to save my substantial collection of photographs from the media folders on the device, before I wipe the entire thing (or buy a new phone).
Therefore my question to you:
Is it possible to extract the photos (stored in the standard media locations of android 2.3) to a PC using only USB-Debugging/Odin/ClockwordMod (being unable to boot into android)?
I tried to pull the media files using the 'adp pull' command, but I couldnt get it to work (maybe because I didnt get the command or the file-paths correctly). Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Solution
Attention: If you want your media files, backup your current state first. Go to backup and restore -> backup. Then do steps written below. Backup will be in CWM folder on your sdcard.
This is called a soft-brick. It's good that you can access download and recovery mode using 3 button combinations. First, download a stock Gingerbread ROM for your device model and put it on your sdcard. Boot into CWM and select Wipe user data -> Yes. Wipe Cache Partition -> Yes. Go to Advanced menu and select Wipe Dalvik cache -> Yes. Now return to previous menu and select install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> select name.of.downloaded.rom.zip -> Yes -> Wait 1-2 minutes to flash -> Wipe user data -> Wipe Cache Partition -> Wipe Dalvik Cache. Then select Reboot system now from main menu, and wait 4-5 minutes for it to boot first time.
