I'm about to save you a lot of time Rogers (Canada) Captivate users.
I spent the last 6 hours using http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/download.html these directions to flash a rom.
Here is what they don't tell you.
This is for the AMERICAN version (AT&T) Captivate only. Yes. You will be able to install the rom on your phone... but the SIM card supplied to you by rogers will not work with this rom.
Also, after following the "excellent" tutorials online and via youtube, you will end up with a phone flashed back to "stock" (At&T) stock... with all their bloatware. AND your startup graphic will now be "AT&T world phone"
Who would have known how good we had it as Rogers customers?
Bottom line. Stay away from Serendipity, and possibly all roms. Launcher pro is better than 90% of them anyway it seems. And you can turn that off in .6 seconds.

I'm currently using Serendipty 5.2 on my Rogers Captivate with no issues what so ever. You're most certainly doing something wrong.
Nice to know. The latest version is 5.7, which I installed. I will not add a clever image showing your folly by responding to my post out of common courtesy.

How about explaining what I did wrong instead of a face palm? I know that's asking alot.
Are you saying the tut online doesn't flash to an ATnT stock? Are you saying I'm stupid? Are you saying your rom works no matter what? Tell me. Educate. Communicate.
At the very least refute my claims.
Do your self a favor and delete your comments. It is still early, not too many have read it yet. You need to read much more and gain a better understanding before you post something like this
It would appear that the statement made by the OP is false, in that the ROM works on various versions of the device.
If you need assistance, make a new thread in Captivate Q&A, without a title directing the issue at one particular ROM (how about something like the new title of this thread?)
Explain what you have tried, what isn't working (exactly), and someone might be so good as to tell you what you did wrong.

Flashed android to my Tilt and I'm stuck with an old bootscreen from a PDAnet rom.
Does anyone have a replacement boot screen that replaces any old one from past roms? Preferably something android related that can be flashed over top of the android rom.
EDITED for specificity...

It may be to do with flashing but you have not produced an android or WM build so is not Development... So is general and as stated you could ask in one of the many android dev threads.

Either way, you just have to search for flash splashscreen and you will get the info you need. Or a trip into the Wiki/sticky area.

dear xda members
i own a galaxy tab for six months. the first time i got it, it was locked to Orange (Europe) under froyo 2.2, but i unlocked it to make it work here in Algeria.
sometimes it get locked by it self after a reboot! something i did notice after one month, and then it repeatedly hapen every week or so, then i decided to get stock gingerbread jq1 (i do like custom roms but i prefer using my device with stock system) because i thought it will wipe the system and let no trace of Orange crap, suddenly i was wrong, because it keep showing me Orange in the satut bar (at least one time per day) along with my provider (Djezzy), when it hapen, the phone force close all active applications and i lose signal for a while, until its gone and got back my provider signal.
please help, any suggestion is very welcome, even if it is a custom rom (a stable one)
thanks
You can try Hyperdroid. It has SIM unlock build into the boot up.
It is more stripped down compared to JQ1 or Overcome.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444240
D.O.C is a senior moderator here now, and doesn't have time developing this ROM further but it is stable.
I use his RedPill 2.0.1 kernel before.
Hope it works for you.
There are other ways to customise unlocking into your JQ1 but I have not seen the details on how to do it.

i have fond a temporary solution for my problem, so after changing many times my nv_data.bin, trying to unlock it and get rid of orange who comes every hour or tow, i decided to take another step and i made a backup of my efs before erasing it completely, getting ride of efs let android generate a new efs without any trace of my oem, the thing you lose here is you imei code, because the new efs contains a different imei!
any way, i dont have to worry about orange any more

A friend of mine sent me this image, he has had his Note for some time now and only just recently got an update to 4.0.4 .He bought the note without a carrier so there is nothing extra in it.
However, he's never been able to root the thing.
I have used this site before, ages ago with my pocket PC's and more recently for my HTC Sensation.
I replaced my kernal for a 1.5Ghz overclocked version with mikes ics rom and rooted, and the phone has just been awesome. However a few months back when I did some digging for his note I was unable to find anything on it, and now that its updated I thought i'd give it another shot. However im not sure if the information I need is in the image he sent.

oh, blah, How could i of missed that. Ok thankyou
Question, I assume I want the
N7000ZSLPM---4.0.4/12.07.18-N7000OZSLPM
Is this correct? I note there is nothing that matches the Baseband number.
Also, Honk kong or Taiwan? It was purchased in Australia.
I found my HTC less confusing, even though they are more work

I just bought a Moto X Devoloper Edition off a forum. I've tried it for a little while, and all the basic stuff seems to work well. But I want to make sure everything works good. Is there anything special I should look for? Maybe he bricked the boot loader, etc. How would I check?

If the bootloader were bricked, your phone would not turn on and you wouldn't even be able to get to fastboot mode - obviously this is not the case.
If you are concerned about previous modifications that may have been made, follow the instructions in the return to stock thread to flash back to 100% stock.
Everything you need, including all the links to stock firmware, tools, and drivers are located in that thread. (In the general sub-forum)
CAUTION! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE! Only flash the version the phone is currently on, or newer. Also be sure to use the correct firmware for YOUR carrier.
Good luck
I've noticed I have no reception at all (seriously, just a black thing). I shid note, I have no SIM in the phone. Should I be worried? Or will I get reception with a SIM? Anybody with a Verizon Moto X can answer the question by removing their SIM card and looking. Much appreciated.
You'll have to put a sim card in the phone to get service
Just to make sure, it's supposed to look like this without a SIM (the notification bar)?

Too funny
Just a point of interest.... My old S2 has no sim... And I get 2 bars. Lol
It seems like everything is for the Exynos version of this phone. Just got my Note 8 today for a steal practically new for only $100, but the software bloat seems horrible. Just curious if there is any Lineage or Samsung based ROM's that would be a good starting place? All the late reviews in 2019 and here in 2020 says to install an aftermarket ROM on it and you got yourself a great device. Phone details below.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 N950USQS7DTA5 on Sprint in New Mexico USA.

The Sprint store did the factory reset for us, but given that I know my way around these devices I thought I would do my own Factory reset and start from scratch. My last Galaxy phone was the original, so I am sure things have changed since then and wanted to double check with XDA before making any mistakes. Phone currently sits 100% stock.
Any advice on a debloated ROM at the least? Or something else would be great too. Google just sends me here and all I seem to see is N950F devices, but I plan to keep on researching before I flash anything on this device, lol. EDIT: Just saw the US carriers Pie thread too for this device, and that seems to offer a pre-debloated rom.
EDIT: My guess is that there isn't much you can do with this device in the way of custom roms?

Your guess would be correct. The phone is bootloader locked that means no roms like N950F version..

Thank you for the information. Yeah I figured that was the case. Oh well, at least there is a debloated Pie rom. Maybe I can do a somewhat decent job of customizing it. But yeah I was hoping for 3rd party kernels and or LineageOS love. At least it's a better phone than the Motorola G6 that it is replacing, lol. Thanks again...
