No need to take out SIM. I flashed over a few dozen times so far and never removed neither the SIM nor the external SD.

The problem comes if you get a call or text before the phone is ready on first boot of a fresh flash. At least that is my understanding.

If u get a call or text, it will notice the phone is not on network n should be redirected to vmail. I had it happen once when I was reflashing and had a vmail when I booted up my ROM for the first time.

Thank, now I will flash with sim without worry.

I used to have this issue, with a different app - dropbox. Turned out to be a bad flash of ROM. Stopped having this issue once I reverted to stock and installed the ROM again. Issue came in with I loaded my current ROM over an existing non-stock ROM.
That's strange cause odin'd back to stock then applied new rom last week and everything was fine then.. What I would like to know is what causes it, I would hate to re apply rom... Ugh!

I know it was down last night
When the site is down, it keeps prompting for userid/pwd repeatedly. I think the issue here is that it logs out after a period inactivity.

DEVS can someone please port this miui rom??

Miui has been ported to the vibrant and is currently in alpha. Porting that to the captivate shouldnt be too hard right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951291
It really is not hard to do on your own but a request has been sent for permission to post a port.

Is it any harder than "porting" an i9000 rom? Because that i can do
Normally no but I have not tried it yet so either wait for a while and I will let you know if it works or you can try for yourself. I would suggest that you just boot it as is then flash a kernel and modem though as swapping first does result in problems sometimes.

Edit....will have to work on it later as I am on the road and first attempt was unsuccessful.
Me too. I got stuck on the vibrant screen
Edit: Can't get into download or recovery mode.

Yeah same here. sd card worked on the stock kernel though
The sd issue should be an easy fix but I am not going to mess with it this weekend.

My phone died!!!

After rooting my phone and after using it fire about a week something weird happened to my phone, on Sunday the phone restart it itself and when it booted up the phone was stock on the Samsung screen after the metro pcs boot animation. I took out the battery several times but to no avail. It was dead. I finally took it to metro yesterday and they have me a brand new one. I'm more sure if i will root it again though.

I don't know what could have happened to the phone. Its weird because it just got stuck.

Setting phones on fire usually kills them.
Did you try CPR on it? Check if it still has a heart beat.
This is murder!

CM9 and whatsapp

I flashed cm9 n tried to install whatsapp. At the verification process I couldn't receive the code from whatsapp to verify.
Whatsapp recognised that I wasn't running official firmware.
I really like cm9 but I need whatsapp.
I've searched around but couldn't find an answer.
Any idea?

Seems as whatsapp is having (server) problems since a couple of days.
I also don´t get that verification sms on my Galaxy Nexus (Jelly Bean 4.1.1) nor on my old HTC Desire with CM7...i tried to contact the support some days ago but didn´t get an answer yet. I read about similar issues on german Android forums, there are some more people with verification problems.
Before that i was running whatsapp with several custom Roms without problems...so it shouldn´t be a problem running whatsapp with CM9 or any other custom Rom.
.
Alright I'll give it another try later on when I installed cm9 n tried whatsapp it failed to verify. After a while I installed stock firmware and whatsapp had no problem verifying.

Just to let you know I installed AniDroid 0.8 (Which I believe is based on CM9?) on to my Note last night... What's App activated fine for me and has been working fine all day today, no problems at all.

I'm having the same verification problem since 10 days. Every time I try to install whatsapp, it tells me that the verification failed and that I have to wait for 2 days until I can give it another try.
As my last attempt was on Tuesday, I will try it again today!
install gb activate on that then go back on cm9 lol
especially if first time on phone and sim combo.

Finally decided to flash cm9 stable and installed whatsapp. Everything works fine.
I had titanium backup whatsapp if normal install method fails.
Thanks everyone for their help.
Greatly appreciated.

guys is there no fix or workaround for this?
using cm9 stable but it just wont verify
stable cm9 and whatsapp fresh install works without problem for me.
have u tried the titanium backup method? its where u backup whatsapp using tb from a working rom and install cm9 and use tb to restore the app back in.
other ppl in the thread also suggested the sim swapping method.
try them all.

[Q] CloudyG3 first boot taking over an hour?

I clean flashed it and in TWRP it said done and I clicked reboot and it was rebooting for at least 20 minutes...not a bootloop...just the boot animation playing over and over and over. I tried force rebooting and my SIM wouldn't be detected so I reflashed it (again, clean flash) it and now I'm waiting on the boot screen for an hour+...I know first boots usually take longer because it has to setup the OS...but an hour..? Did I do something wrong? Anyone know why this might be happening?
EDIT: I got into the ROM. No cell signal though. Anyone possibly know why?
Might have a bad download. I know u did a back up of your previous ROM? U should re download the ROM again make sure u select the correct variant and see what happens then.

The download was fine because the MD5 matched what he said it should be. I selected the correct variant all 3 times I tried installing it.

I tried this a few times already :/ I tried redownloading the 12B baseband, flashing CM11, everything worked fine. ReDLed the KK baseband and ROM, no cell signal (SIM not even recognized). I think I'll wait it out till CloudyG3 1.1
Does it worked finally?? I had that issue yesterday trying yo install versión 2.0

Considering his post is from June, I hope so. You may want to post your full issue here or in a new thread or the G3 thread itself.
Well since this thread is here, I want to ask some questions about CloudyG3's rom on the Verizon variant. Basically how it is? I really like the stock experience of the G2.
I've used the Flex port with good success before but there were several issues that I came back to stock. I know the stock SMS app refuses to work, which kinda sucks. I really like the popup SMS/MMS feature.
I'm just looking into whether it is worth it before I take the plunge. What are the steps to making CloudyG3 work the best?
1: What SMS is a good replacement that is similar to stock?
2: How to get the radio working?
3: Knock Code won't work, correct?
4: What issues/bugs to expect?
5: ????
