I flashed jpk rom and tried restoring the one paid app I had installed before the flash,chicktionary. I used titanium backup to restore it but when i click on the icon the screen goes black and the phone starts vibrating.
It vibrates once then a pause then vibrates three times,it does this sequence eight times then the app starts. But then when I make a selection it does the vibrating sequence all over again four times making it unplayable.
So I uninstalled it cleared the cache partition, went back to the market (where it shows purchased) and downloaded it again. Same thing, hangs and vibrates. Does anyone know what's going on or how to get this working again?
maybe the app is not compatible with Froyo
there are a lot of Apps that work in 2.1 but not in 2.2
find and install a newer version for Froyo
if you email the developer i'm sure they will add in Froyo support

Hi,
I'm experiencing sudden boot crashes 2 different distribs of Android on my G1.
First with Dwang installed and running fine for several weeks now, the phone simply stopped booting for no reason (Android boot animation freezes then black screen).
Now, after a full (accidental, by the way...) wipe, I'm back with a brand new CM. I reinstall my favorites apps, reboot several times, and suddenly with no apparent reason, I cannot boot again !
It seems that the most recent installed/used app on both cases was Sleep Now! from mobitobi. Without much hope, I tried to remove the app from adb, still not booting.
Here is the catlog : pastebin.com/SepbzzC4
Thanks in advance !
Got it !
Reading the logs, the bug was when scanning for app-private. I'm on App2SD and for some wicked reason, the symlink on data/app-private was broken
Any ideas on how i could happen by accident ??
Today I turned off my Captivate for the first time in a couple days. When I turned it back on, it went through the ATT and Galaxy S animations, then remained at a black screen. It then vibrated on semi-regular intervals, in triplets, kind of like when an app force closes. I went to recovery mode and deleted user data, so now the phone boots into android. It starts with the setting up the phone tutorial, but whenever I get past the Google Location Services page the PhoneSetupWizard crashes then restarts. I cannot seem to get by this into the rest of the OS.
Possible cause: I was messing with a settings database a few days ago to try and enable side-loading. For some reason I feel like I may have accidentally deleted that whole .db file, which is obviously a problem.
What would be the best thing to do so I can get back to using my phone normally again? Would it be easiest to flash a new rom?
Flash stock using odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Alternatly, install any custom rom as an update.zip, or install clockwork recovery zip and install any custom rom zip file.
Thanks I'll probably go the custom rom route. And do you know why the phone setup wizard app would continually crash? Is it possible that clearing user data through the android recovery menu deleted part of it, stopping the phone from functioning? If so, it makes android recovery rather useless. Installing clockwork recovery would be a good choice.
Hi guys,
I think I finally managed to brick my phone. Everything was working perfectly fine, until today when decided to try GB's Steam kernel.
So a little background first, to make things quicker:
- I was able to open download and recovery mode before, even after doing a odin3 one click restore twice.
- I've tried a Cognition and moved to DarkyYtt3r. Went from 7.0.1 to 7.5 to 7.8 to 8.0.1, no issues.
- Changed the kernel and modem several times. The last one I tried was glitterball's uc/ov stable (no charging death).
- Current set up before this mess:
-- ROM: DarkyYtter v8.0.1 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890429
-- Kernel: gb-reorient-fixed-ocuv-f-cwm.zip > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887315
-- Modem: TLJL3 I think.
Everything working beautifully.
Today I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903238 ... gb's steam kernel. since no one was having major issues, I made a backup of my current rom using CWNand decided to install the kernel using SGS Kernel flasher, according to instructions.
Cool. I've flashed kernels before a few times. No big deal. And I figured, I'm able to get into Recovery or worst case scenario into download mode. I flashed the kernel, reboot, got into Steam's recovery. Looked around. Activated a couple of tweaks although I don't remember which ones.
Rebooted and this is where the issues began. I got the "intro" window you get with i9000 roms (keyboard intro, syncing, etc). A lot of apps were force closing, including facebook, twitter, rom manager, ADW Launcher, etc.
Ok, so I rebooted to Steam recovery and deleted the cache. Went back and the same problem. At least I was able to boot the system.
I said, oh well, let's go back to our backup. Booted Steam's recovery, and tried to recover from the last backup.
It worked for one boot. Not sure what I did, I don't remember, but after trying to boot again, the phone displays the AT&T screen, the GT-I900 screen and then the Galaxy S screen. I then feel the force close vibration, and the screen goes black. I can touch the softkeys and they blink, but I feel the FC vibration every 10 or 15 seconds.
Somewhere along the line something bad happened.... but here is what's bothering me. I cannot get back into download or recovery mode anymore. Been there all day trying to make it work with no luck at all.
So, more importantly, somewhere along the line, between rom flashes, or something, I lost the ability to get into recovery or download mode. I've heard that I900 roms have different button combos, but nothing works
I'll buy a few resistor packs tomorrow, and some cables just in case. I'm afraid that I won't be able to boot into download mode this way either.
also, adb is not detecting the phone. tried both windows and linux. if I could only get it even for one second so I can send a adb reboot download... but no
Do you guys have any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you ever get this problem fixed? The reason I ask is because I'm in this same situation.
We seem to be having the same problem also... Nothing has worked for me so far

Pull your battery, pull your sd card, hold the volume button and plug in the usb cord, this will get you into download

Im going to get a jig hopefully all goes well.
Background :
Yesterday I was messing around with my phone and managed to screw up the OS while trying to install some mods and had to flash it again. Flashing went fine and everything was functioning including the market for the first few hours. I downloaded and installed about 10 or 15 apps (both paid and free) everything installed fine. But when I was installing Catch Notes (free) from the market my wi-fi connection lost internet and the download got stuck at 89%, then I went back enabled 3G data and tried again. That time when I clicked install , I got Downloading : catch notes, catch notes (it appeared twice) in the notification area with a circled number 2 appearing next to the download icon on the top status bar. But after a while the download went into “Download paused” state. Now I can’t finish installing catch notes nor download any other app from the market.When I try to install any app from the market now I get "Starting Download" and then immediately after I get "Download Paused" message and stops there with a green stripes animation where the download progress bar usually appears.
What I have tried so far
I went through this thread and tried most of the suggestions:
Cleared the cache of Market and Download Manager.
Rebooted in to recovery mode (3e) and wiped the cache partition
Checked the IMEI number, they match.
I tried clearing and rebooting the phone many times. Even waited almost a day and tried everything again. Switched between 3G and Wi-Fi (internet works on both modes).
After wiping all the caches I stopped getting Catch notes app trying to download twice, but thats the only change.
Any ideas ? I really don’t want to flash it again or factory reset/format SD card or wipe all user data.
P.S : Galaxy S GT i9000 (international), unlocked no branding, running stock 2.2.1 (JPY) [updated through Kies with reghack] rooted, but no mods or lag fixes installed.
Managed to fix it. I uninstalled the market update, and cleared all the caches, rebooted the phone and it started working.
Now wondering how to get the new market, if it doesn't get updated automatically guess I'll have to copy the new apk manually..
EDIT : New market appeared automatically after a phone reboot. . Everything back to normal .
Just installed Paragon RC5.0 on my capitivate. Install went smooth, everything is pretty and the backups restored. Im only running into one issue. I cannot get the screen to turn to the side when holding it horizontally.
I was having this problem last night when i was having issues with my backups. I did something to where i could get it it to turn and thought all was well. I reinstalled the ROM because titanium backup over wrote a few programs that were on the ROM and was more careful about the next restore. No matter what i do i cannot get the screen to move to any other position now.
Tried reading through the 200 page super thread on the ROM, but was unsuccessful at finding any information.
Running same rom not having that issue.
Maybe try reinstalling rom then are if it works before youdo anything with titanium
try to do a master clear first.
Did the Master clear with odin following instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Rerooted, re installed paragon. Tilting works now, havent touched titanium backup yet. Lets see how restoring things affects it
Tilt was working. Used titanium backup to manually select a few things to restore, like contacts and a few other things. Then used batch to restore all missing programs, I made sure to go down the list and only select specific programs i wanted back. Rebooted my phone and now tilting doesnt work anymore.....
Was frustrated with Paragon so I master cleared again and installed Serendipity 5.3. Everything working fine and well, tilting worked. I click 2 apps on the phone(market and maps :/) and tilt hast worked after that. Is this a comon problem with ROMs?
So you are saying that your auto rotate after you opened maps and or the market?
No that is not normal
After installing the Rom i let it sit for 5 minutes, opened messaging and rotated it and it worked, opened a new message and went to the keyboard and it worked. I open up the camera, and then tried to put in my market info and the screen wouldnt rotate, along with everything else now. No backups or anything this time. 2nd ROM in a row to do this for no reason. I'm thinking about going back to stock lol
I do not use my auto rotate but I have not heard a problem like yours before. Sorry, I got nothing
Apparently Serendipity 5.3 and paragon has an icon on the pull down menu i mistook for the sync icon thats on the stock ROM( i think thats what it is, i always had it off and it never affected anything). An infuriating little feature when not understood.
Facepalm
So you are cursing at your phone and you had turned the feature off? Live and learn
Yea, when i finally figured it out i felt really dumb. Although, in the frustration caused by this stupid mistake I can now master clear, root, and flash my phone in my sleep haha
Problems with Paragon RC5 ROM
After i flashed the rom, my captivate went to the first boot image and got stuck. My phone has been like that for a couple of hours. is there a way i can flash back to the stock rom or fix this problem? I have tried to reboot into recovery but my phone wont get past the first boot image. PLZ HELP!!!! P.S. I forgot to master clear before flashing rom and I used rom manager to flash the rom. I was running darky's rom b4 trying to flash this one.

Can you get into download mode?
how would I do that?
Turn phone off
Take out sim, ext sd, battery
Have usb hooked to pc but not phone
Put battery back in
Hold volume up and down while plugging in usb
Phone should go to a screen with an android with a shovel
If you can do this and have a windows pc I can get you back up and running pretty easy
ok i did that and it went into download mode
Do you have a windows pc?
Have you installed the usb drivers for this phone?
What is your build number of your phone, located under battery something like 1008?
yes i have a windows pc and the drivers and my build number is 0168 i guess
No that its not your build
You do have a captivate right?
Under battery anything from 1006-1012
