just a quick question... for some odd reason everytime i go back to stock, i never get any service... it will keep going from the ghostbusters signal thing to some bars then back to the ghostbusters thing... cant make calls or use data... and it keeps saying updating time and date when it does grab a bar or two... however on any custom rom everything works perfectly... ive tried relentlessly to figure out why and try to fix it... did the airplane mode, changed modems countless times, and nothing fixes it except using a custom rom... so i gave up and just told myself u didnt buy it to not mod, but wtf is going on lol...
any ideas?

Check which version of Odin youre using, and try another. The one in the AIO toolbox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418 should work perfectly fine.
come to think of it, i have been using the same one over and over... downloading AIO now... if it dont work ill just have an excuse to get a new phone 6mo from now, sell it, and get something better...
just to follow up, a different version of odin, and still the phone is unusable when on stock... can't use the network for anything... oh well... guess im guaranteed a replacement whenever i feel like it...

Hi, I'm currently running Perception build 9.5 on my captivate and it seems that my phone randomly loses service. I've never had that problem at home or in the city with Eclair and my family doesn't seem to have this issue either so I can only assume that the perception has to do something with it.
When I'm in this state, I try to turn on airplane mode so that I could turn it back off but I can't do that either.
What can I do to fix this phone service error? I miss calls and don't receive texts until I restart my phone!

Airplane mode doesn't work? That's weird, perception is one of those ROM's that has a pretty huge userbase so problems that come out of the woodwork usually get answered pretty fast. I would try flashing back to stock and master clearing, and see if that makes a difference.
If it doesn't, I would try flashing over other modems(modem.bin), to see if you can find one that will give you service. You can do that via ODIN or a prepackaged CWM .zip flashable. Pretty sure Perception 95 comes with JL3. If reflashing/masterclear doesn't work, try some other ones!
Well actually what ends up happening is that it freezes and then as soon as I restart the phone, it restarts as airplane mode. It's pretty annoying. I will try first restoring 2.1 and then whos knows what

So I tried to restore my old samsung 2.1 onto my phone but it is stuck at the "DesignGears" Logo at the very beginning. I've tried restarting using the power and volume buttons and restoring again using the same image that I used but to no avail. I've tried to press the factory restore button on clockwork but didn't work either. I can't even get it to load all the way! What can i do?
Not knowing the details of exactly how you flashed your rom, it's hard to say exactly what could be wrong. From the sounds of it, though, something got corrupted in the process.
I had something similar happen the one time I tried to upgrade without taking everything back to JF6. My suggestion is to back up what you can, start over from scratch, and reinstall 9.5.
When you start that process, drop back to JF6 with Odin, then do a Master Clear, and only then install Perception 9.5. Going that route, you shouldn't have any problems.
Ad for your failed 2.1 restore, I'm guessing that you're talking about a nandroid backup? If so, it doesn't back up the kernel or the modem. You'll have to use some other means to get those reinstalled. I'd again suggest using the Odin 1-click to drop the original rom on the phone, then performing the nandroid restore from there.
thanks so much guys!
I did that as you said and used Odin 1-click to restore my phone and have installed 9.5. Hopefully this will conclude the thread. I will let you guys know by tomorrow. I really appreciate both comments and wish you guys happy holidays!

Actually, yea. Nothing has changed. My phone still loses signal every hour or so probably because of the switches. I wonder if we can contact a dev about somethin like this?

Most of the Devs that use i9000 or Vibrant ROMs for their base are aware of the problem. At this point seems there is nothing we can do though. I keep flashing things like Perception and Phoenix thinking one day it will work, but it never does. The only stable build for signal are Captivate based, ie, stock or Cognition.
Ok before I go into my question I want to tell you that I've tried a lot of different roms, and tried changing a lot of settings for the GPS.
My best performance was when it took me about a minute to get accurate to 50 meters but my GPS never locks on me. It doesn't even lock on me when I'm just walking on the street.. This made me really frustrated. And btw I can't return it and get a new phone...
Anyway I was looking through and found a thread saying that you should scratch the part where your battery meets the phone(the two small gold part).
I can't seem to find this thread again so I was wondering if anyone had a
Step by step tutorial or screenshots or a video. Please help..
Sent from my phone
before you go scratching your phone, maybe try to get it working again... mine used to never lock either but it finally works now after changing roms, modems, and gps files.... if you cant get a lock with no case on it, and the battery cover removed, its most likely software... did it work stock?
can u post specific info? what rom, modem, gps files, and gps server are you using? people have different results with different combos, and it took me forever to get mine to lock so i'll try to help, i don't want you to damage your phone trying to get it to work...
Register your phone at samsung.com and then open a ticket and send it in for repair.

It didn't work on stock. I've tried perception , firebird, cognition, the kitchen thing, darky, assonance, axura. My current rom is darky which I have the best result. The GPS server was the supl.google.com I think. And I didn't try out didn't modems.. I basically just tried out a bunch of roms...

might as well do the registration with samsung to have it repaired or replaced.... or take it by an att service center after flashing stock... theyll replace it on the spot for u... but most likely with a refurb... sorry u got a lemon man... id take it by the retail store first and see if you can get a new one... bring everything with you... but theyll most likely refer you to the service center...
I just flashed darky 9.2 and got super great GPS for the first time ever! Y'all should try that rom out.
Anyway thanks for the help

Im having some problems with my phone. I recently rooted my phone with the rom found in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232703
Since i have put it in, I am having a problem with a few functions. The first problem is that i cannot accept phone calls. when i receive a call, a black screen comes up, i get the first half second of my ring tone, then my home screen comes up, it shows that i lose signal completely, then my time/date updates. anyone have any idea how i can fix this?
the other problem is that i cannot see txt messages by clicking on the message itself. normally a black screen would come up with white txt displaying the message, i no longer have that. Thats not as annoying as the answering though haha.
I was probably going to switch back to froyo but it would be nice to get this working
In order to get this rom, i rooted with fugu first, then installed the rom. Thanks for the help everyone

Not knowing too much about this ROM, I would 1st try going back to stock/master clear, and try to reflash it again. If you haven't flashed may ROM's I might suggest a ROM that has some serious traffic to it, most of the bugs will get either worked out or identified really quickly.
I don't mean any disrespect to the dev of this ROM at all, but like I said, if you're fairly new to flashing, go with a ROM that has some time in the trenches
It sounds like a bad flash to me so, I'd reflash to stock and try again

Well, if you want a Froyo ROM, I would ALWAYS suggest Phoenix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892973 go to page 1309 for the downloads http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17129309&postcount=13082
If you want to use Gingerbread, Mosaic VI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061203
They are both VERY good ROM's. Phoenix isn't being dev'd too much anymore, but honestly, it doesn't need it. Most deving is going into GB now. If you want GB, give the instruction in Mosaic a good read, they are really clear. Just make sure you understand what you're doing before you do it

No prob! The install for GB is a little more complicated than Froyo. But, most important is read totally before you flash. It'll make your life so less stressful
Also double check what you use to get back to stock. Personally I use Odin 1 Click, but you need to be sure you don't have a specific build number(I dont know which ones they are) Or you could soft brick and need a Jig to get back into Download mode
I was just wondering what the easiest way to restore to stock is. I recently updated to gingerbread then rooted and then went to ginvervolt. Love the speed of it but now any text I sent doesnt get received so I need to go back to stock. I think this might be a phone issue but I still need to be stock to take it in.
Just restore the back up you made before you flashed the ROM
that one is still rooted I want to go back to completely stock can I just restore then use revo tool to flash back to stock?

You can get the system back to stock but your stock GB recovery is gone for good. Only way to get it back is to ADB push it from the back up that S.Meezy has. What I meant about the stock back up thing was it might be something underlying in the phone that a different restore, from a phone known to be working after the GB update, might fix. But yeah to get the system back to stock just restore your stock back up that you made. CWM is there for good until someone posts the stock recovery up and how to get it back into the phone.
I was afraid of that. ever since I rooted I have had the issue. It really stinks as my work dispatches through text.
So far You're the only person I've heard of having the issue of SMS not sending... Try doing a data wipe and then reflashing Gingervolt. If that doesn't fix it idk. Maybe mtmichaelson can shed some light on what to do when he checks the forums.
I have done that a few times and the weird thing is at first everything id fine then all of a sudden no one receives my messages normally a hard reset fixes it for a bit but then it does it again.

huh. I have a few questions.
1. Does it freeze up on your end or just not go through to the person you are sending it too?
2. What kind of service area are you in?
3. Is your wifi on? (idk why I'm asking this honestly it just seems like a good thing to ask...)
4. I was going to add a question here but as I was editing I forgot it...
and last but certainly not least
5. Are you using the stock messaging app or an after market one?

on my end it says sent but they never get received. My service area is pretty good not to mention I am a service person and I drive all day and it doesnt make a difference where I am.
my wifi is normally on but I have tried disabling t when this happens just to see what happens.
I am using stock messaging app should I try another one?

No handcent but try this
So I went back to my previous back up and I removed a bloatware freezing program and it seems to be working. I wonder if the program was blocking something
Wrong again around 8 am it stopped working again. called verizon and they are sending me a new phone. is there anything I can do to try and hide the fact that I flashed and rooted the phone
Looks like verizon cant hit send in their systems either. They tech that was supposed to ship my phone never did. great so i got another tech who said she did something different but hey look 10 hours later and it doesnt work again man this is getting old
Should I maybe use the froyo restore and then try upgrading again?

I think you should use LGNSPT (I think I got that acronym right) to flash the V6 tot. That's the only way to completely reset the phone to an "out of the box" state and rule out any potential software problems.
After flashing V6, see if you can send texts. If you can, do the OTA update to V7, and then try texting again. If you still can, flash GingerVolt and make sure texting still works. I suggest checking if you can text at every step so you can narrow down if it's a specific version that's causing the problem.
But honestly, unless your phone has a hardware issue, flashing the tot will fix the problem. I've got a gut feeling that somehow your radio got messed up during the update process, and flashing the tot is the only way to fix that or any other random anomalies that could be messing your phone up.
A hassle? Yes, but probably less of one than dealing with Verizon to get a new phone. Coincidentally, this is the same thing you'd want to do before sending your phone back to Verizon.

I bricked my phone tonight. sgh-t959v Why on earth I ever thought this would go as well as it did with my behold 2 back in the day I don't know.
Well for starters I rooted the phone, then when there was another update tonight I did it, Superuser was gone at this point. I was the Kies samsung update to 2.3...... So I rooted it again. Ok then the phone seemed really laggy compared to what it was before so I looked into Voodoo and such tried that. Putting the file on the SD didn't work because I had S3 something about certifications. So I found something on the market that would let me flash it with software. Then the phone wouldn't boot and kept trying to loop. I got it back in download, and put what I thought was the right stuff back on the phone since I searched for hours (no lie) to try to find a complete stock set. I did a backup with that stupid flash thing I used from the market, which ended up on the SD, which for some reason is now blank when I put it in the laptop.
The software must have been wrong because it still wouldn't start. Then I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307637 and decided to try that. Odin kept do what seemed nothing. It would start and see the phone try and then no progress bar everything looked like it was working and then it would hang for some reason. Next time I am never messing with this crap ever agin if this phone ever works again.
At this point I have the PH ! PC and I can't get it into download. So I found out about the USB thing I can build I think.
What do I need to get this back? I am very sorry about the long explanation, ubt I was hoping if I spent the time explaining how I goofed up, someone might take the time to answer me.
