Hi,
I'm pretty sure the microUSB port on my AT&T Captivate is shot... It will charge using the outlet adapter, but will *not* charge or connect to any of several PCs. I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers multi times, and another Captivate exactly like it connects just fine (with same cable, same port, etc.) Good news: it's still under warranty. Bad news: it's been rooted and updated with a "Low-designgears" util.
Do I need to revert to stock in order to return for warranty, and is it possible to do that if the phone can't connect to a PC?
Stupid questions probably. Thank you.
I would think that you need to return to stock...you can chance it. But it's up to you.

What firmware are u on? I think there was a cwm flashable stock somewhere...don't know if that would help.

There is a cwm flashable jh7 but I think it only works from 2.1. Might work with 2.2 but if all else fails format boot in recovery and tell at&t your phone said there was an update and it failed. I would probably format system, cache, and data too just so there isn't any evidence of your wrong doing. Unlikely it would ever find its way back to you though. Has worked for a lot of people.
It should hard brick your phone though

Firmware is 2.2. Thanks for the help. I'll look for that cwm flashable, and consider my options. Thanks.

1. As long as it's rooted he can replace 3e recovery, install cwm, and flash that from 2.2.
2. Formatting does not hard brick. Why would there be an option that would completely **** your phone? Like a self destruct button that could accidentally be pressed if you don't know what you're doing. Makes no sense.

Sorry, back again guys...
I've got cwm installed but I can't find a way to get past 3e recovery. I tried to flash cwm recovery from rom mgr - and it says current recover is cwm 2.5.1.2 - but going into recovery mode still shows 3e (don't know what cwm recovery should look like). Flashing any rom (tried a couple customs too) dies with sig verification error.
been searching for a few hours on replacing 3e, but everything i run across requires ability to connect with the pc.
any idea how i can replace 3e recovery without ability to connect via usb?

The second method does not require a pc. Download the fix files with your phone, then download a file explorer from the market that has root access, root explorer, file expert, astro file manager to name a couple. Paste in the file reboot into recovery, reinstall packages twice and that will boot you into cwm, which its green with more options...
brick the phone n say kies ****ed it up. that worked for me.

Hi Guys,
Just got this galaxy min for my daughter.
Using guides on here have got the thing running 2.3.4 and rooted it. However I've flashed the recovery image and all looks well untill I try to take a backup - it can't mount /system.
Tried it manuallt from within recovery, same with data. Its almost like not having root rights but within Clockwork recovery!
Any ideas? I've played with a Hero, Nexus one and now a GS2 but this has me foxed!!
Cheers
Bryan
*sigh*
Can't find a solution anywhere.
Anyone with a working recovery please let me know what you did to install and what version - maybe a link to it?
Many thanks
Bryan

This happens with stock ROM. So I could not made nandroid. But after flashing custom ROM.nandroid backup works. So the problem is with firmware not with cwm.after installing custom ROM, you will be able to mount system.
Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?

that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...
which odin one click?
Maybe he just did that...

So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

Hi All,
Iv been looking at These instructions for flashing the latest Cyanogenmod, and it says to install clockwork mod app.
why cant I do the install by just rebooting into recovery mode on the phone? Is there something special Cyanogen mod does?
Thanks
I was stupid, sorry
stupid he is asking why to install cwm app
@bugs78
hi there is no need to install app just boot to recovery then do wipe - flash - wipe

Clockwork mod recovery is a special android recovery that is made esp. for cyanogenmod and rom manager app. This recovery is able to handle flashing of roms, create backup and restore and do many other advance things, which are not possible to do via stock recovery.
If you don't have problem falshing cm7 then, why are thinking too much about installing CWM recovery? I suggest you give it a try and I guarantee that you'll love both clockwork mod recovery and cm7 custom rom. Good Luck! with the flashing.
P.S. DOn't use ROM MAnager with Galaxy Mini.
Thanx guys for the stupid newb questions!!
I successfully rooted my phone no problem at all, while I was on a role I decided to have a go at installing ClockworkMod, following These instructions I downloaded all files ran odin and booted my phone to download mode I connected it, and odin found the phone, so I pressed start and it didnt appear to do anything. The phone didnt reboot and I got no status messages. I followed them exactly.
I might try again tommorow on another PC.
anyone else experienced this?

Maybe the title was misleading as Why Clockworkmod?
Maybe that's why he replied about stock and custom recovery.
But the content in the post was clear, as the OP said about why the CWM app needed for installing ROMs, but the Thread title should be clear enough though, as it should be more like Why Clockworkmod app?
yes thats exactly what I meant coolsandie, and noted I could have worded the thread better. its been a while since iv done the whole forum thing. but, thanx for the tips guys
A friend of mine suggested that I try Cyanogenmod, so I decided to flash my Galaxy Mini. The first problem was the bootloop, and no matter how many times I wiped the phone, it was always stuck at the Android text. So I decided to try the Honeycomb mod. Same happened. So I decided to flash it with Android 2.3.6 from sammobile.com. At last, it started working. However, Google Play still sees every application as "installed" (but of course they aren't), and when I try to delete from GP, nothing happens. After trying to install other applications, I realized that I cannot install anything from the market. Any idea how I could solve this problem? I would be very grateful.

Yes I did. I used CWM 5.0.2.6. The funny part is that after being turned off 3 times, Google Play started working But if there's a solution to the bootloop problem I would love to hear it. I searched this forum and the internet and nothing, even though I followed a cyanogenmod wiki's guide.
did you wipe two times before and after flashing cyanogenmod rom
How old is your sd card? because same happened to me. I needed to format my sd card.

PM me anything GT-S5570
So I downloaded the new recovery, flashed it via Odin, and now nothing works. When I enter recovery it says that it can't mount /cache/log and /cache/recovery (I think it says these two). I looked around and found that it could be stuck in a bootloop, but luckily Android loads. However, I can't root my phone due to several errors, so I can't install Cyanogen mod. I think I'll give up now But thanks for all the help!

This happens because you are in stock ROM, this errors are normal.If you want ONLY to root your phone you should use stock recovery. Otherwise you can proceed.

Thanks very much Here is what I did step by step:
I returned to the stock recovery by installing the stock firmware. I rooted the phone with stock recovery. Then I installed CWM recovery 5.2.0.8, but I still get the same error in CWM: it can't mount a few things. I still tried installing Cyanogen without wiping, and of course it's stuck at the boot screen with the Android text (I had a feeling that it wouldn't work if the recovery is not fully operational, so I did not want to lose every contact for nothing again). I read that this problem can be solved by formatting the SDCard, so I tried formatting it with PC and the phone also, but nothing. So now I'm back to the stock firmware and recovery with my phone rooted and no idea how to solve any of the problems.

Flasging CyanogenMod without wipes? Seriously? Thats exactly why it never worked!! CWM cant mount somethings because you were in stock ROM
Use some backup program to backup contacts, apps, whatever and flash cyanogenmod wiping data and cache before and after.

This was just a trial run due to the new CWM recovery. If you read back, I already wrote that I tried wiping both data and cache before and after flashing Cyanogen mod. This "mounting" problem only came up with the new CWM recovery, 5.2.0.8.
The basic Google Apps were all there, since I used a rom from sammobile.com, downloaded programs like poweramp were the ones that did not work.

And you tried wipes using 5.2.0.8 version? The mounting problem happened with me only in this recovery too, maybe because it is updated, different or whatever but I flashed and everything was good. Anyway, stay with stock, it seems better for you.
