Phone fails to boot up properly after changing SIM - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I unlocked the phone and have the cognintion ROM with Laucher Pro set to default.
Was in Europe and Asia for 3 weeks and was using a non-ATT sim. Worked fine. Actually perfectly. However, now when I put the ATT sim back in it goes into a loop with various error messages about foreclosing various application. Mainly laucher pro keeps going into failure loop now.
I am completely lost and have no clue how to fix this. Please help out..

I would flash stock using odin. backup everything you need. Then master clear. From stock you can flash whatever eoin you want and if need be unlock again

If its just LP.. try re-installing that first.. then re-flash if necessary.

How can I reinstall LP? doesn't let me get into the home screen. IF I could remove LP as default and go to samsung launcher.
Try connecting phone to computer and use ADB?

Ugh - missed that part it just keeps FC'ing all over the place and won't let you get back to your home screen eh?
Um.. you "could" remove LauncherPro using ADB - but the results could be um.. not good.
I would highly recommend figuring out if you can do a backup first then trying that as I don't want to be responsible for trashing your phone completely.
Have you tried just taking the sim out and see if it will boot to the home screen that way? If so you could do a TiBu backup and be able to remove LP that way.

Tried removing SIM and booting up. Same problem. All apps try to forceclose and goes into the same loop.
If I can make LP NOT to be the default and get me to the samsung home screen, it would solve it. But can't get into home switcher if I don't have home screen to click on.

Yup.. sounds like your going to have to re-flash to fix it.
I'd try removing LP in ADB just for giggles to see what happens. But I think your stuck here.

I have a question!

I'm currently using the G1 and just yesterday I installed the home replacement app called FreshFace. Today, my phone ran out of battery while I was outside doing yardwork. When I turned the phone back on, it was stuck at the ANDROID Logo when you turn on the phone. I have no data service. I was wondering if anyone out there knew how to fix it? Please help.
Thanks, joel~
I have an answer!

If you have backed up your data recently, or don't care about it, you can wipe your phone from the recovery console.
As an alternative, you can connect the phone the your PC while its bootlooping and delete the freshface apk file through adb if you really think that its causing the bootloop. Also, if you have cyanogen's recovery image, you can enter the recovery screen, drop to a console and delete the apk that way. I have a hard time believing that an application is causing a bootloop. Are you sure the only thing you did was install an application? Did you pull the battery out while it was bootlooping and try again? Have you run a logcat from adb? Output?
Are you able to boot up in safe mode? (menu + power) If you can, just delete the app or reinstall and you should be fine.
Next time have someone else do the yard work.
Sorry, bored at work.
Fresh Face was made for the MyTouch I think. So I've heard, it causes some problems with the Dream.
I can almost guarantee FreshFace was the last program I downloaded before my phone bricked/crashed/****ed.

com.android.phone how to unstuck?

Hello,
A friend of mines recently gave me her HTC Legend because it was stuck on some loading screen.
It's isn't rooted.
She tried the OTA update for her device and since she did so, when the phone start, it doesn't ask for her pin code or what so ever, sense boot up, and then it keeps getting stuck on the loading screen when sense should appears.
Then after a few secondes it says : com.android.phone couldn't boot. Do you want to wait, force close, or send report.
I can handle my HTC hero but her legend seems different.. + without custom recovery I don't even now how to wipe or anything.
Anyway, could you FIRST tell me if there is a way, to try to re-apply the update (OTA not possible anymore since sense doesn t boot..).. or is there any chance not to wipe the phone ( cause she hasn t saved her contacts, messages etc)..
And if not.. how can I hard reset her phone (step by step please)
Thanks in advance guys!!
Use a search in the forums for the appropriate RUU.
Also, do not post questions in the development section.

Oups sorry, can a moderator move the thread?
Once i have the official RUU.. how can i flash it without a custom recovery?
I get exactly the same thing pull your sim car out start the phone up and complete all of the set up screens once you are into android turn phone off put sim back in it should work fine, but you will get a message about the sim being chanmged press clear if you press to change settings you will get another error and dont go into the apn settings or things get a little bit messy
To flash your carriers RUU, you may need a "goldcard" but turn off your phone and press the back button and power on the phone,to get to the fastboot screen, connect the phone to your pc and run the RUU.

If she recently updated to 2.2, then that's the problem. Plenty of people (me included) had this issue. No need to re-apply the OTA update or (re-)flash a ROM, just sync her contacts/calendar/mail to Google and backup apps via Astro.
Then do a factory reset and re-sync/install from backup. That's all it takes. Works like a charm after! ;-)

Phone wan't start.

Hi.
I rooted my LG Optimus 2X with Super on click root. It worked great after right after. I uinstalled CarHome and F-Secure, and after that my phone restared.
Now, It would not start. I only boot until the LG logo, and after that it reboot. So it go on and on and on. I can get the phone into ADB, and I'm a newbie on android, so I got no clue what to do. I aslo tried to use the recover program by LG, but I get a message that tells me that my phone does not support the update.
Is there anything that can sovle my problem or do I need to take it to the place I bought my phone?
I had the exact same problem (a hole thread in here). Your phone is bricked (as of now there's no solution as far as I know). When you rooted your phone you lost the warranty, so if unlucky you cannot return it without having to pay to get it fixed... If lucky the might just switch the phone with a new one...
I've sent mine back to the seller and hopefully I'll get a new one...
This thread could be useful for you:
http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/334664/bricked-lg-optimus-2x/
There's actually new development in the right direction. Paul from modaco (2x.modaco.com) are preparing af NVflash of the 2x, which will completely reflash the memory with the standard rom from stock meaning we should be able to fix the easily...
Should be ready on wednesday...
I've been looking into these two treads, but could not found anything that my fix the problem.
Well, I've got to go to my the seller and hopefully they will fix it fast.
Try to remove the SD card and then try to switch on once more...
I've been trying with and without SD card , Sim card, Battery many times. So I thats not the problem I think
thats why you should freeze apps instead of uninstalling them.
Did you try to hard reset the phone?
If you got an adb connection and root, try to obtain the apk's (search the forum) and push them to system/apps.
Thats all I can think of for now. I'm no expert on this
Did you make a system backup using Clockwork Recovery before you rooted? If so, boot back into recovery and restore the backup. I bricked my phone the first time I installed a different ROM but luckily I had a backup that I was able to restore and try again.

The Optimus 2X does not (yet) have Clockworkmod Recovery working. At least not in a way available to the public (MoDaCo's Paul said he would release some stuff next week)
I can't get it to hard reset. When I boot up the phone I hold in the power button and the - volum butten. Then I come to a screen with the droid, I press the home button and I get Android recovery system (3e), but I'm unable to choose anything. I only can switch between the 4 chooses, by pressing +/- volum button.
Nope, can't get it to connect to adb. Tried, but I couldn't manage it.
Well then maybe someone here can point you to actually selecting something from that list. I mean, it has to be possible to "choose" one of the 4 options but I've never owned an android until (hopefully) in 3 weeks so I can't tell you how it works exactly.
Edit: Just checked the manual again, did you make sure you pressed home and vol- for 10 seconds ?
Well, yes. I pressed home and - volum until I got a recover mode or something.
But as I know theres know way to fix this problem atm. I'll have to send it back to my reseller or wait for Paul to release the fix.

[Q] Launcher

Hey guys
I managed to root my device with the first guide (oneclick) and uninstalled alot of LG crap, same time i uninstalled the LG launcer. - Today i got a problem with my device. I couldnt ring and hear people when i manged to get in contact.
I decided to factory reset the phone, but my problem is that i dont have any launcher now. When i do the hard reset thing (vol down + home and power on) i can get to the screen where i can type in pin code, but after that there is black screen cause there is no launcher. The search function dont work but the notification bar is working. so i cant get to the market and install. Mostly it just shows the LG logo when the phone is turned on and the touch screen is working cause it makes the click sound. But nothing else.
Does some one have an idea to how i can get a launcher installed ??
thanks in advance
Please use search function. This problem is already discussed here. You have to use ADB.

Hello my fren.. Did u in the 1st place had made backup or ur rom via nandroid before removing stuff from ur rom? If yes then its too bad.. But there is always an alternative..
1. Download a custom available here and place it in ur mmc card.
2. I presume that u have paulobrien 3.0.1.4 r1 - ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X installed then flash it via clockwork.
3. Enjoy ur new fast phone!!
naah i did not backup.. thought i would never need it.. but i was wrong..
so here is what i did.
When the nortification bar was working i went into the musicplayer from there, in there i managed to get the search funtion in albums wich gave me the opportunity to search on the internet via the browser (wich i could not open or find cause no launcher ).
I went to 4shared from there and found a launcher but i could not install it because the installing from other source funtions was disabled. Fortunately it gave me the option so i could enable it and i did.. AND YEEEHA i manged to install a launcher and retsarted and it dos work !!!
Before when i pressed the home button it just restarted the phone i could do nothing ! only black screen with logo.. so i reset it and tried the above...
it seems that my phone is still rooted, cause i have the "superuser" thing but when i get time i will unroot it and sell this crap of a device and get back my old Nokia N8 again
Don't just root your phone without learning how to actually use the powers it gives you. If you remove anything from /system you will not be able to restore it with factory reset, because factory reset relies on what is in /system. But I guess you figured that out the hard way.
Learn to use ADB and nvflash, nvflash being the easiest based on the guides at 2x.modaco.com. ADB can get you out of most trouble by editing/replacing single files and nvflash will enable you to overwrite all partitions, i.e. with a stock ROM.
Everything you need is in these forums or in the wiki.
yea the hardway was more fun ;-) (actually not )
I was trying the ADB way, but my computer didn regonize the phone so it was difficult
Now i just need the stock apps and launcher so i can unroot it again
start off with this page:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
once you have restored the stock rom you can now delete the clockwork recovery by using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
after that unroot in superoneclick and your all done.

What do you want for the phone - lol?
Funny how when ever some user messes up something - then its the device that is crap
Ehmm the deivce is crap... the sounds is terrible.. and the reason why i messed up was i had problems with the device. When i call some one they cant hear me and i cant hear them.. same with income.. but i can text msg.. and its not my carrier or other stuff.. it is the ceappy device ;-)

[Q] Flashed hotspot unlocker, now com.android.phone has stopped. Please help.

I was/am rooted/unlocked, I flashed an unlocker for the hotspot, then the message for com.android.phone began popping up continuously. Tried accessing the bootloader, but for whatever reason, it won't let me get to it. It also appears that my Airplane Mode icon in Settings keeps rapidly blinking on and off.
I managed to turn on Debugging, but it doesn't seem that ADB can see the phone. I've tried to ADB into the bootloader and it won't work.
Windows DOES see the phone in Computer, so I know it does at least see it to access the drives on it.
Please, please tell me that there is still some way to make my phone work again.
Found my way into Recovery. Did a Factory Reset, but the issue is still there. Is there something I can flash that would fix the issue?
I don't care if I go back to stock, locked, unrooted. I just want my phone back. ^^;

Wow im just going down the list in Q&A and you keep popping up, lol. You are having way too many problems with a brand new phone, i would READ this thread and RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
And if you do RUU and first thing you should do is a nandroid backup in recovery. Also depending on what firmware you have i would S-off(then again with your track record maybe not) If something stops working after you just did something(like flash a mod or app) you can always go into recovery and restore a nand backup.
