[Q] ROM s and build level - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have a new Captivate about 1 week old. Stock setup
Want to load the Samservmode app to toggle 2G/3G but when I research it I see the warning of "check if you are on rom s with the service mode installed" Can someone tell me how to find that info on the phone. Have checked the *#*#4536#*#*
Also, on some articles am seeing references to build level of the phone or ROM ...... can that information be found in the same location as the rom as above?

Are you on a custom ROM? which one?

you can dial #*#*197328640#*#* to enter service mode.

Basically you cannot do anything if your phone is not rooted. Try to learn more from the forum before you start flashing to a custom rom.

Not sure how this got misconstrued to me flashing a new ROM version??? All I am wanting is to figure out how to check what versions of ROM and and build levels I have as there are warnings in the instructions to load the Android App SamServMode to make it easy to turn off 3G without typing the big long string into the phone dialer. Seems like the warnings that it could cause a problem without the proper levels of ROM etc

Go ahead.. Kill 'em if they do..
Would be possible to remove radio update from de ROM? I'm saying it just to make the flashing process safer, and in case you already have an updated radio there's no need to re-update again.
please remove boot sound
AllWin you are the best! Thank you very much!

Use Silent Boot app, you can find it in the market. It works very well.
Thanks Bro, this rom works awesome.

Do Nandroid backup first, so you can roll-back if needed.

it's always recommended to do a nandroid backup before flashing anything, but at the end it's your call
Yes, i would recommend to do nandroid backup first. If something goes wrong, you'll be able to restore your phone into previous state.
thanks guys i have only one last question is this rom based on the Vodafone rom or based on the unbranded rom that came out 3 days ago?

Well since I cant find any info about my problem anywhere:
How to install your rom file (unsigned zip based), if someone (like me) installed already the plain unrooted version of [ROM]RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3_Radio_47.51. 35.17_7.13.35.05_release (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870345).
I tried downgrading back to 2.1, but here I always get an "Error [140]: Bootloader version error".
I tried ROM Manager with Visionary+ (first temproot, which works fine, then try to boot up the recovery rom), with no luck so far. The device starts to load the recovery rom and ends up with a red question mark above a symbolic legend device graphic. I think, it tells me, that it has found a not valid rom (the recovery rom itself is here the culprit?).
I tried r4-legend-root, only to see all times a offline device with ADB in the HTC stock recovery mode. The error message is "error: device offline", so r4-legend-root does not continue. Also tried those plug out-wait-plug in thingies, but still no luck with this.
So I am totally stuck. Could bite me in the a*se, since I had an rooted V2.1 running, and if I had seen that rom here, I would saved a lot of time.
Maybe U could provide a RUU*.exe signed version, or a signed ZIP, so I can flash it happily with inbuild stock legend tools?
Or is there some other kind of method to get that ROM on my legend?

Completely revert to stock without USB connection

My phone is no longer capable of making a USB connection.
Now i want to revert it to stock, i thought i did so but it turns out the stock CWM rom I installed has some mods like root and busybox.
I was wondering if it is possible to flash an older stock rom through cwm and then have the phone auto update to the newest version? I also wonder if OTA updates update the baseband?

so your phone has a usb hardware malfunction\hardware problem and you need to send it to lg for repairs?

Thats what i think will happen, I want to fully revert to stock first though and check that.
You can use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617458
Thou it won't be a clean stock and you probably need the stock kernel for your region to be inside or it can be seen.
If connecting the phone with the battery out, vol down pressed and it still doesn't change into the flash mode you can be sure the usb is dead. (provided the cable is 100% working)
it looks like that might work.
Do you know if Q is older than R and if my phone will auto-update to R?
Status update:
* Manually installed CWM using terminal
* Followed Kag's link and installed that ROM
Rom appears to be fully stock, but I'm not getting an OTA update to v20r.
I need to be on r because q was never officially released, at least not in my country so my phone should not have it.
Any ideas for getting it updated?

I used those links to flash 10a.
But it still says no OTA updates are available.
Could it be due to CWM?

That should be due to LG server's load . Guess u could wait for it to appear, eventually, or just create a new 20R.
It looks like it's blocked on the software level and will only let you check once ever X period?
Its telling me that there is no update available without even trying to connect, the answer comes so fast.
Yes...i believe i once read about that somewhere in here.
Which baseband are you on now?
218
Thats a bugger..sorry .Dont think theres another way to update bb except from flashing.
About OTA ,doesnt work for any country.
Ill b checking on this one though as it interests me too.

[Q] Xperia UI modifications help. [SOLVED]

Hi my name is John.
I had a account here before but it seems my account has been deleted.
when i had that account i had allot of info on how to install mods and such.
Now i have a new mobile Xperia V
I am wondering if some know where i can get a tutorial on how to flash my mobile and get mods in it.
I do not want to make my own mod just so u know so im wondering if there is a tutorial on it and if some knows a nice transparent look or something.
I really would like to get the bottom bar with transparent look and with pulsating lights on the icons like the back home and shortcut icons.
I hope some can tip me on some tutorials atleast but it would be even greater if some can say good UI styles to. I would be so thankful if some can help me. i really don't like the neutral look and lac of options in the stock versions..
- Root your phone
- Install Clockworkmod Recovery
- Install Xposed Installer
- Install Gravitybox and get more UI options you ever thought about
That will also help you to learn more about your device first. Afterwards you can still take your time and look around for some other mods that can be flashed or otherwise installed permanent.
Thanks.

connect your phone to PC
enable USB debugging on the phone
unzipp the file attached
click on install.bat and follow the simple instructions
Well you must be using a ROM otherwise you could not root your phone. It is the stock ROM I assume. I hope 4.1.2.

You need a ROM that can be flashed via Recovery in the first place. All ROM developers will tell you in their opening thread about the requirements. Some require flashtool, mostly those that work with unlocked bootloaders. Some require a Recovery, usually those that work with locked bootloaders (these work with unlocked BL, too).

The file u attached is called CWM4XperiaT not CWM4XperiaV
and if you don't believe me that you can root with a FTF file then i can upload it so u can test yourself..
how i did it was used flashmod in flashtool and then sellected the ftf file called LT25i_9.1.A.0.490_Nordic.ftf
after that i flashed a kernel with Fastboot called LT25_SXV_Stok_Kernel_9.1.A.0.490_Dogsly.ftf
then i just used the tool root device in flashtool and then i got root..
now my problem is that i dont have any recovery like TWRP or CWM
ive done a new question thread asking for help on how to get it..
Install the CWM attached. Wow. Anyway, up to you.

Try flashing the official rom with odin. You don't lose any data using odin. You just have to go search for your rom and the tool (odin). I'm not sure that you dont lose any data but I already done that and my data was intact! But it's better to someone with more experience advise you.

What model phone do you have? What rom are you trying to use? What have you done to the device recently?
I suggest Odin back to full stock starting on the latest KK Software and see if you have data and reception. Then Odin to Lollipop and check again to see if you have service and data. Then try a custom rom again to see what happens.
