Can't boot after CM6.1B3? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't seem to get my phone to boot at all with any ROM that's not in an odin package.
I installed CM6.1 on my captivate and it seems like whenever i try to flash any other ROM through clockwork, the phone freezes at the bootanimation and logcat spews out a loop of "I/dumpstate" over and over. i can't seem to get it to bot, and this is with any kernel (OC or not)
When flashed back to CM though, even through clockwork, it boots again, no problems. any clues guys?

Have you tried flashing back to stock and then flashing another rom with CWM?

yeah, i flashed JF6 and JI6 one click but no luck at all. i don't know what the problem could be.

Do you have the most current update.zip from CWM?

I was using the one from tayatuma's ROM, any chance you guys could upload a newer one for me?
I'm also trying to repartition with the 512 PIT and seeing if that'll help.

On my phone right now and can't upload attachments, but when I get home, I'll post the update.zip from P8 that I'm using now.

[Q] Cant Wipe Dalvik Cache

Im still very new to this. Im trying to install Fasty II, and im stuck at the AT&T logo, and im pretty sure its because i cant wipe the Dalvik cache. When i tried to wipe it, it just would do nothing.
First of all, I did confirm the wipe, i didnt hit no on accident
Anyway, whenever I try to wipe it, I get no error or anything, it just goes back, basically as if i am pressing No instead.
Everything that I did in the following order
1. Went back to stock with the Odin One-Click
2. Went to Download mode and installed the Captivate Gingerbread bootloaders (ran as admin)
3. Wiped the data and tried to wipe the Dalvik cache but nothing happened
And btw the same thing happens when trying to wipe battery stats
Am I doing something wrong, is it that there isnt a Dalvik cache (again Im a n00b), or something else entirely?
Probably included a lot of extra info just wanna be thorough.
Thanks in advance
Ginger bread boot loaders for a froyo rom? That's your problem, wrong boot loaders, man. Flash back to 2.1 stock and give a reread on the fasty instructions.
if you could try any of the button combos to get into download mode, you could flash back to stock there.
Or take out the battery, Sim and sd card, plug the phone the USB cord into the phone, hold the volume buttons down and plug the battery in, if it worked, you should be in download mode. Flash back to stock.
If those two didn't work, look into a jig.

No its Fasty II, which is gingerbread
Really, strange, haven't seen it.
Edit: okay, I saw, my mistake, I thought you meant the fasty 2.0+ versions.

Either way, the gingerbread boots are backward compatible. Doesn't matter if he was installing a froyo rom or gingerbread. They work either way.
OP: how did I install cwm? Could just be that version doesn't confirm when deleted although it is wiping it. Either way not wiping dalvik should not cause a boot loop, if it was all clustered you would be laggy and perhaps a few apps force close, but it should boot.
Try and re download the rom and reflash.

Well I tried re-downloading and still get the boot loop.
After installing gingerbread bootloaders, im pretty sure i just did the update.zip way of getting cwm. idk if cwm has been updated since i got it, which was quite a few months ago, but ya idk if that means anything
EDIT: I think it actually was CWM, i tried flashing again, got the bootloop, went into CWM, and it was a diff color so im assuming it was updated, and flashed it again and it worked.
Thanks for the help
EDIT 2: Spoke too soon, stuck at startup now. Has been on the Galaxy S Screen for the last 10 mins
The cwm after the first flash is the one makes into the kernel.
If it doesn't loop the animation and is just staying at the S it should be re building dalvik which takes awhile
All right it works now thank you

[Solved] Recovery 5.0.2.6 samurai..........

Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?

that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...

Maybe he just did that...

So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

[Q] Phone only boots into CWM and can't get it to boot the ROM.

I can't get my phone to boot into the ROM, it only boots into CWM every time. Even if I restore my Nandroid backup I have it still won't boot into anything but CWM. .
Any ideas?

what rom are you trying to flash?
I was on MIUI Mintberry but then I tried flashing DMORE3.3 and it just messed up. Was not paying attention to what I was doing, stupidly enough.
But I wouldn't mind just getting back into my MIUI MB ROM and then I'll actually flash DMORE properly this time.

I really couldn't tell you, not familiar with miui, but you can always try,
I have the same issue here. I was running CM9 nightly and everything was working great for weeks. Then my android core process crashed and I decided to reboot the phone, but it got stuck and kept boot looping, i.e. not even making it to the CM9 boot animation and not allowing me to get a logcat.
I used ODIN to flash FixRecovery.tar.md5 and that allowed me to get into CWM recovery. I then cleared Dalvik cache, re-flashed CM9, rebooted but the phone always boots into CWM and never gets to the ROM. I even tried flashing Semaphore kernel in ODIN and re-flashed CM9 several times but to no avail.
My phone just keeps booting into CWM! Is there something I can do to fix this without having to restore to Gingerbread and lose all of my settings and data?
You can go back to the Original Firmware: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/
Then you may root: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-i9000-rooting-gt-i9000-2-3-3-india-ddjv9.47/
I had same problem with a galaxy s plus. I've installed the teamwin recovery and with that i flashed the broodrom. After that i got in a bootloop/recoveryloop.. The fix for that was just flashing the bootloader with odin So there was no need to reflash whole rom

Captivate not doing anything

hello all. I just started diving into the world of rooting (and android for that matter) with a friends old captivate. In the process of installing Jelly bean, I messed things up pretty bad.
I had a corn kernel installed (which I later found out wasnt usable for CM10) and when I then found a devil kernal to use, i found myself getting stuck in a boot loop. Trying to get out of it, I flashed back (using odin) to the corn kernel, which then get stuck on the boot screen with the loading bar at 100%. I then flashed around to a few different kernels i had downloaded in the process of trying to figure all of this out and now I cannot get the phone to boot back into the OS.
What should I do?? Where can I find the proper kernels for CM10 (everything I follow is always dead)? and most importantly, how can I get this phone back up and running. This forum seems to be filled with all sorts of smart people, so hopefully we can figure out a solution quickly.
Thanks

If you can get in cwm, factory reset and re-flash CM10 (as per their process). CM10 will flash with it's own kernel so you don't have to bother with flashing a kernel after.
If that doesn't work, get stock KK4 and flash with Odin (or Heimdall). Then flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and finaly flash your ROM.

Yeah, but from what I've read and experienced, Corn cannot be used for CM10 purposes. After flashing to corn using odin (I can both 705 and 706 saved on my computer) there is no option in CwM to install CM10. I read that corn isnt able to boot CM10, but maybe I read something wrong. We're getting off topic for the post, but i'm sure others are having the same problem

Maybe I'm missing something here but I'm not sure I understand.. The usual process to flashing looks like this (as you probably know):
Odin KK4 stock
Odin 1.85 corn kernel
Flash your ROM through cwm as per their instructions
Flash Gapps
Enjoy
Corn will give you root and from there, you should be able to go get your CM10.zip that is on your internal SD and flash it.
Corn will be wiped as you flash CM10 cause it flashes it's own kernel so it is only to get root when you're on stock.

That's why I said to mount your SD to your PC, make sure where you've put them (in which folder) and also make sure they're actually on it. The kernel won't hide files.. eh
If you wanna make it easy, create a folder for them (and of course, move them in). Folder: CM10. That way you won't be searching all through your phone for them.
so I placed the CM10 in the root of the SD card. On Corn 706, im unable to locate it. I flashed over to Semaphore and was actually able to find the CM10 file, but for whatever reason, when I try to install it, it begins the process and then aborts it.
That would be the norm...just select to install the Rom again from that cwm recovery that pops up.

Wait.. When you flashed to stock, what Odin did you use?? There's a GB stock (KK4). If you flashed back with the old one click and you're back on eclair you probably don't have the GB bootloaders so you'll have to get them. Corn kernel is meant for GB, not eclair so would make sense if it doesn't work.
Well, I am currently sitting on CM9 with Semaphore. Phone is working, just need to find the correct Gapps, since thats where I store my contact info. I'll mess around with getting CM10 in a few days. I was tired of using my blackberry for the past two days while I have been trying to get this damn phone up and running. I'll do my research to ensure that I use the correct kernels and bootloaders. If you know of a guide for getting to CM10 from CM9, that would be great.

The instructions are in the CM10 thread. I believe they're quite basics, don't need to go back to stock.
Also, if I were you, I'd redownload CM10 ROM. Could be getting those errors from a bad download.

...and just a friendly fyi, if u get the Status 7 error again, when u try flashing to CM10 another day, it is because of the assert script in the updater-script, of what ur wanting to flash, is looking at what the build.prop says of ur phone. (that is even hard to type, lol...someone plz correct me if i'm wrong).
U can search and read up a little probably better than i could type and try to explain it. --- But in the end it is more of a fail safe so that u don't flash something that is not for ur phone.
It will be more clear once u read up on it a little. :thumbup:
The asserts can be edited/removed, build.prop edited, or u could use a different kernel, etc. --- several options as a work around to the error.

Get odin KK4 without bootloaders and flash it in download mode. From there, make it sure it boots up and flash korn kernel wih Odin 1.87 (or 1.85). From there, you're free to flash any ROM you want.

Once ya get back to Stock KK4 (and maybe get Root if u wanna try that again), u probably need to stop there until u read up and get comfortable with the flashing processes etc. before u move on any further. :thumbup:

You can't restore stock ROM (2.3.x) from CM10.1 (4.2.2). Different Android versions use different partitions. As mentioned in posts above, easiest way to go back to stock is Odin one-click file. No need to flash bootloaders again, so use version without bootloaders. In order to restore your CM10.1 backup you need to flash CM10.1 ROM first (to repartition), then flash same CM10.1 ROM one more time. When installing process is done, go ahead and restore your CM10.1 backup. No need to reboot the phone, nor install gapps. When restoring is complete, reboot the phone. Now you're back to your CM10.1 setup where you started from.

You can go lower, just gotta follow certain steps.
As for what you need to do, it was already all provided to you. I suggest you read through it a few times, make sure you fully understand it and then proceed with flashing.
That being said, right more you can do exactly what i told you and flash odin kk4 without bootloaders to have a working phone.

See this post for an Odin or Heimdall One Click to Stock i897ucKK4... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
Instructions included.
Once ya get back to Stock KK4 (and maybe get Root if u wanna try that again), u probably need to stop there until u read up and get comfortable with the flashing processes etc. before u move on any further. :thumbup:

Rogers stock 2.3.3 Odin one-click is available also in sticky threads, if you prefer Rogers ROM. Just do a quick search.
