Im still very new to this. Im trying to install Fasty II, and im stuck at the AT&T logo, and im pretty sure its because i cant wipe the Dalvik cache. When i tried to wipe it, it just would do nothing.
First of all, I did confirm the wipe, i didnt hit no on accident
Anyway, whenever I try to wipe it, I get no error or anything, it just goes back, basically as if i am pressing No instead.
Everything that I did in the following order
1. Went back to stock with the Odin One-Click
2. Went to Download mode and installed the Captivate Gingerbread bootloaders (ran as admin)
3. Wiped the data and tried to wipe the Dalvik cache but nothing happened
And btw the same thing happens when trying to wipe battery stats
Am I doing something wrong, is it that there isnt a Dalvik cache (again Im a n00b), or something else entirely?
Probably included a lot of extra info just wanna be thorough.
Thanks in advance
Ginger bread boot loaders for a froyo rom? That's your problem, wrong boot loaders, man. Flash back to 2.1 stock and give a reread on the fasty instructions.
if you could try any of the button combos to get into download mode, you could flash back to stock there.
Or take out the battery, Sim and sd card, plug the phone the USB cord into the phone, hold the volume buttons down and plug the battery in, if it worked, you should be in download mode. Flash back to stock.
If those two didn't work, look into a jig.

No its Fasty II, which is gingerbread
Really, strange, haven't seen it.
Edit: okay, I saw, my mistake, I thought you meant the fasty 2.0+ versions.

Either way, the gingerbread boots are backward compatible. Doesn't matter if he was installing a froyo rom or gingerbread. They work either way.
OP: how did I install cwm? Could just be that version doesn't confirm when deleted although it is wiping it. Either way not wiping dalvik should not cause a boot loop, if it was all clustered you would be laggy and perhaps a few apps force close, but it should boot.
Try and re download the rom and reflash.

Well I tried re-downloading and still get the boot loop.
After installing gingerbread bootloaders, im pretty sure i just did the update.zip way of getting cwm. idk if cwm has been updated since i got it, which was quite a few months ago, but ya idk if that means anything
EDIT: I think it actually was CWM, i tried flashing again, got the bootloop, went into CWM, and it was a diff color so im assuming it was updated, and flashed it again and it worked.
Thanks for the help
EDIT 2: Spoke too soon, stuck at startup now. Has been on the Galaxy S Screen for the last 10 mins
The cwm after the first flash is the one makes into the kernel.
If it doesn't loop the animation and is just staying at the S it should be re building dalvik which takes awhile
All right it works now thank you

I can't seem to get my phone to boot at all with any ROM that's not in an odin package.
I installed CM6.1 on my captivate and it seems like whenever i try to flash any other ROM through clockwork, the phone freezes at the bootanimation and logcat spews out a loop of "I/dumpstate" over and over. i can't seem to get it to bot, and this is with any kernel (OC or not)
When flashed back to CM though, even through clockwork, it boots again, no problems. any clues guys?
Have you tried flashing back to stock and then flashing another rom with CWM?
yeah, i flashed JF6 and JI6 one click but no luck at all. i don't know what the problem could be.
Do you have the most current update.zip from CWM?

Hello, so yes as it says in the topic. I downloaded gapps for desire while having captivate and i flashed it. I didn't realize that after i was stuck in the boot loop. I'm a huge noob in this, i got this phone yesterday but somehow managed to get cyanogen to work on it. Please help me out somehow. Is there any way to get my phone back to stock rom from this? Btw I can open recovery mode, and download mode. I was trying to master flash while in recovery but it didn't work. So since i can't get the phone to boot up idk what to do. Thanks, and help me out please.

What he said
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?

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.

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.

Once Again thankyou for your kind Reply!
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.

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.

Yes, I guess I will stay with the stock :/ Though I'll try again when a new CWM recovery and a new Cyanogen mod come out.
Hello, I'm having some worrying problems with my device
Like many of you I've been eagerly following TheWhisp in his journey to bring us JB, I had managed to stop myself flashing the earlier experimental versions so as not to just tease myself with a non-daily ROM, but when he announced he'd fixed the incoming call problem I had to try it! I installed the update from the 17th of Jan, everything was going pretty good.
I flashed back to stock via Odin first, booted, thumbed around a bit for nostalgia as I'd been running ReginaROM since it came out. The Cyanogenmod started becoming more and more unstable the next day, things crashing, reboots etc. I thought ok, no problem, I'll go back to Regina and wait. I flashed back to stock again to get a fully fresh install going as that's just the way I like to do things.
My problem is that the stock ROM won't boot, the Samsung logo glows away as normal, but after a moment I get the short vibration followed by three blips of vibration indicating something has crashed, after which the startup animation and sound plays again and the process repeats, I can never reach the lock screen.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
it's a bootloop, have you tried to wipe data from CWM?
Yeah I've tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and factory reset.
did you try wipe data/cache and dalvic cache on squads cwm??
Where else would I do it? haha I don't mean to sound *****y
I can't figure it out, I've done everything I can think of, seems sort of bad that I can't get my stock firmware to work if I ever need to go back to it.

You have to wipe data after installation of the stock ROM. I had the same problem with the previous build. Just enter in CWM and wipe.
