Strange Captivate issue

OK.. First of all I want you to know that I'm not a n00b and that 99% of the cases I know what I'm doing with my phone but this is a weird one
Problem no.1: The simcard keeps on "disconnecting", resulting in disconnection from the network. Since the first seconds I start the phone it does this. Sometimes it doesnt even accept my PIN as being incorrect, but in the notification bar the SIM+! icon disappears for a moment. This is after I screwed a ROM and returned to stock using the OCD JF6.
Problem no.2: It wont master clear! No matter what I do, it wont do it. I tried since the first second when ODIN detects the phone. I tried it when it fully loads the ROM, it just wont go.
Background: Before, I had installed Froyo JPA i9000 ROM with Reoriented kernel 2.1.2 (voodoo lagfix+color,bln). Everything was soooooo fast on that ROM (with around 100 apps installed) but I wanted to theme it. So I tried to deodex it using xUltimate. I followed the (logical) instructions found in a post here and it didnt want to boot anymore... well, it did but in a FCs symphony.
I did what I believed is right and I returned to stock but I forgot to pull out the SIM card... then these problems appeared.
Gimme a hint what could I do. I'm asking first here because a working PDA without a SIM is .. acceptable but a totally bricked one is worse so before I take any steps further I need your opinion.
Thanks a lot.

No one?

Problem 1: can probably be fixed by reflashing stock with the SIM card *not* in the slot (that's about my only guess, never seen that).
Problem 2: master clear must be done with the phone turned on *NOT* download mode. the phone must be fully booted with adb debugging enabled in settings.
xUlimate: it's a poorly written application and it's success ratio is probably about 50/50, another tool to look into is auto-deodexer. Also, both the framework AND the system apps need to be deodexed to have everything play nicely (gtg taught me this one)

id experiment. from what i gather you were able to flash jf6 but it was a bad flash. does it still have download mode? maybe try to flash again and then try to master clear? maybe try to flash another rom, then try to flash back to stock?
this doesn't sound like anything anyone has seen before so your best bet is to just try something.

Thanks a lot for the replies guys!
The master clear was tried from all phone statuses (booting; finished booting; after the phone operated for a while) except download and recovery (i know is not suppose to be done from there).
I did reflash to stock without the SIM, same issue.
I will try flashing again some other rom. I'll try more and ill post the result here

OK, so, it seems that for some reason, after stock restore there were still remaining of XEE CSC in the phone..
I loaded the JPA back and now is all fine.

I am having the same issue, unable to clear with CWM or odin, or within the OS in either the stock rom or axura 4 or 5...
Can you please elaborate on your solution?
CSC looks familar to me, thats an ODIN file right? If so, what part of the phone would that be (kernal, modem, OS)?
What do you mean by load JPA? Odin package or CWM? WHole rom or specific parts.
thanks...this has got me stumped

Well, my issue is that I cannot use 2.1 anymore (any 2.1, tried stock Captivate and JM8 from i9000), I don't understand what is wrong but my first bet is that the /efs partition got changed in some way when I loaded JPA i9000 ROM.
Froyo works fine, any ROM I load give me full functionality but on 2.1 the SIM gets disconnected all the time and after a while the phone reboots by itself. Just to make it clear, I never had the usual Captivate reboot issue, it started when this SIM problem appeared.
Note: my product codes are fine, in both nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak the product code is finishing in ATT and my IMEI is available in both 2.1 and 2.2 and is correct, so no IMEI corruption here.
Could someone give me a hint?? Would flashing to stock with phone EFS clear help?

[Q] With Darky's Rom 9.3 beta1 I can't receive calls anymore

Hi Folks,
yesterday I flashed my SGS (former stock 2.1) with Darkys Rom 9.3 beta1.
It seemed as everything is fine till today.
My wife tried to call me an I shortly saw her number, it vibrated shortly, the my SGS lost connect to the signal an the call was gone to the mailbox.
This happened all the time in 3G-Mode.
I tried it in GSM-Mode an an incoming call was not shown, it went directly to the mailbox without any signal at the phone.
My SGS doesn't even show who called, it's just all gone.
I don't know whats wrong.
I took a look in all the option they can be responsible for that an I didn't find anything that would say my phone to loose radio when a call comes in.
Maybe anyone has an idea and can help me.
Cheers,
Dirk

A Clue .
BETA = unfinished released for testing purposes so users can report back bugs .

you should flash back to 2.2.1 first as 9.3 is not for 2.1 its froyo based not eclair use 3 button combo and use odin to restore stock then again use odin to flash CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.tar which works with XWJS5 which is latest rom then go to market download rom manager install cwm with this and trie again with darkys good luck

Ok, tried to flash the 9.2 first and the 9.3 beta1 after it and it didn't work.
I had to make a factory-reset to make it work again.
Now I'm flashing the 9.3 again.
Just in case anyone else has the same problems, it only works with a factory-reset.
Thanks to everybody who tried to help
Cheers,
Dirk

[Q] Gingerbread 2.3.4 solving "sleep of death"?

I am considering upgrading to 2.3.4 on my galaxy mini to solve the "sleep of death" problem... is anyone out there who has upgraded to 2.3.4 still having the "sleep of death" problem?

Whats sleep of death problem ?

It's when the phone is still "on" but will not wake up. The only way to get it working is to take out the battery. Many are reporting this happening every day or two.

Happens on i9000 for me, I just keep powerbutton pressed until it reboots. No need to remove battery.
I think i need to do a factory reset on phone + sd card someday, maybe it resolves it.

this happened to me too. just reset phone and when it starts, try to use the phone or just simply tap the phone every time it tries to sleep (anything works as long it doesn't sleep)... just keep on doing this for about 30min? or more
(make yourself busy while doing this cuz its gonna be boring just tapping)

I think it's related to hardware problem (not confirmed yet anyway)... Don't believe that "upgrade" could be the solution..
I actually hope so!
GT-S5570 on Train

I just upgraded today using kies.... now when I try to start up it never gets past the step where it shows the "Samsung Galaxy Mini" text. Creating another thread for this problem.

With CheckFUSDownloader (thanks to Luffarjoh - search 3D) you can download the archive used to update your fw and, so, reflash it with Odin (even more times if needed)...

Nope, it's not hardware related. Never had a SOD since I used tjstyle's CM7.
Early Gingerbread firmware from Samsung has SOD too, but I think the latest versions doesn't.
Official firmware is now on 2.3.5, FYI.

If I can't get passed the logo screen what is the best way to get my firmware information? The guides say I need this info to choose the right rom.
Thanks!

This is a Froyo problem, didn't happen in Gingerbread :3

Yeah, had the same problem when on Froyo, after flashing GB2.3.4 the problem hasn't occured.

[Q] Soft keys don't work?!

Hello, i have my Note rooted, and installed framework for circle battery.
I have baseband XXKJ4 android 2.3.5, besides that everything is stock !
At first everything was working great, no problems whatsoever but now from time to time my soft keys freeze and i must reboot device to get them working again.
So what could be the problem? Should i unroot it and take it back to get it repaired or is that normal? How should i fix it?
Tnx for advice !

It could be the framework changes you did with the battery.
Flash a stock ROM back on it, see if that solves your problem.

Im facing same problem.. Today was the second time the soft keys wuldnt work since i bought the note 1 week ago..after i ended a phone call it took me back to the call logs so i pressed the return soft key but it wuldnt take me back to home screen!! I cant find what causes that issue however it was fixed after i rebooted the phone.. Im on stock KKA

That's a known issue on 2.3.5
On a number of occasions it happens after a call.
Just switch to the latest stock in the 2.3.6 series and all should be OK.

I also have a stock Galaxy Note & have this same problem sporadically. I don't understand your advice. Could you help an Android noob and put it in language I can understand!

He means: Just update your phone from Android 2.3.5 to 2.3.6
The forum has several threads about updating and rooting

OK, I have figured out that 2.3.6 is the android version. But my phone is already onto that version installed, so I can't upgrade to it to fix the problem....
Any other ideas?

[Q] After using the phone -> No connection and phone shuts down

Alright, I have very strange problem on my phone.
It happens when I browse the internet with my phone. Suddenly, I lose my connection. Then the phone shuts down. When I open in again it has 1-4% battery and still no connection.
I have no idea what the reason could be.
I've tried to change rom but it didnt help. From 4.0.4->4.0.4 (currently)
Thank in advance

I'd like to add to OP that my phone shuts down after long use, I dont have to be at the internet.
Does anyone have any idea?

Hmmm.. which rom exactly did u have and do have at the moment ? Btw morjes, suomesta kans:silly:

Moro.
I had SlimICS first, then I changed to XI9000 -style ROM.
But I dont think the problem is because of the rom, as I didnt have the problem first on SlimICS, but then suddenly it just "appeared".
Should I try to change the modem?

Weird.. yes, i would try to change modems, if that doesnt work i would maybe try a re install of the rom.. btw which modem are u using? I want to use xxjvu because i get a better connection with that but i get the roaming sign after installing it :X

I had JVT.
Alright, I flashed JVU now, the phone doesnt turn off anymore. But still it loses the connection, which basicully means I have to restart my phone.
Can you recommend any other modems? (modems that work in Finland)

Well, the one on my sig works good.. but that doesnt sound like a modem issua at all, i think u might have to try and install a new rom.. i wpuld suggest a FULL wipe and sd card formating before u do

Yes, I think you're right.
Im going to flash 2.2/2.3 with odin and format sd-card, after that I will flash again this 4.0.4 rom. If it doesnt work then I have no clue.
Thanks

Yes, that sounds right. Good luck!

Alright..
So I flashed Darky's Resurrection Edition Android 2.3.6 with Odin (repartition+pit+pda)
It didnt help, phone still shuts down.
Now I think Im going to backup my sd-card and try a 2.2 Rom.

could be battery related
Hi,
you've probably solved your problem by now, but just in case, here's what I found researching this issue (I have the very same problem):
This seems to be happening to various phones (although, SGS I9000 and its variants are the most frequent), various ROM and kernels. It is very
probably battery related as the solutions which helped people ease the problem the most were sticking a bit of a bussiness card under the battery
to make contacts tighter, scratch the contacts on the battery itself with scissors or some other metal tool as they have become oxidized through
frequent charging (this significantly reduced number of my shutdowns, but didn't eliminate them) and buying a complete new battery (by far the
most successful solution, although, even this didn't help some people )
