[Q] Fasty 2.5 Crash on USB plugged in - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
First of all, from what I have seen yet awesome work with Fasty 2.5! Using it has been great, even though I only tried it for a short time.
Here's my problem:
Every time I insert the USB cable, after about five seconds the phone shuts down. All the way to the battery loading animation. And if I don't remove the USB cable, it'll restart that one every five seconds. Additionally, if I plug in the cable during boot, same stuff. Help?
Background:
I'm using a i9010, came from I9010XXKB2, freshly installed. After my first flash of Fasty I even rechecked if I didn't have the same problem with that original rom, but the problem does not happen there. Flashed Fasty 2.5 a second time - the usb plug crash was back. Went back to I9010XXKB2 and it's gone.
Tried different ROMs, namely dlev5 and Apex 9.3 - both work.
So, anybody got ideas? Thanks!
By the way, one idea, maybe it's because of the stock bootloader? Or does Fasty bring it's own? If I want to test that, what do I have to look for in terms of compatibility?

Update: Flashed Fasty 2.5 again, but this time added the SpeedMod kernel afterwards and voila, no more crashing. But somehow it feels less fast unfortunately. Does anybody know a Froyo kernel similar to the Fasty kernel, except for, well, no crashing?
EDIT: Ok, crashes occur with existz's KB1 kernel. Seems like Onix is a good alternative, only have to find a modem to go with then.

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] Darky's Rom auto rotation problem

Hey guys I just flashed Darky's Rom v8.1 on my Samsung Captivate and i really like it but I have two problems. The first one is an auto rotation opposite rotation problem. The screen auto rotates the 90 degrees the wrong way so if i hold it vertically, the screen is horizontal. I calibrated the horizontal axis but it didnt work. The only solution I have found is to turn off auto rotation but then i cant use the qwerty keyboard when emailing or texting. My second problem is that when i download apps it restarts into the Darky's rom screen and reboots back to the home screen with the app no where to be found. Is there anyway you guys can solve one or both of my problems, or even suggest a better rom because im up it P.S. please keep in mind this is my first android phone and Im more or less a noob with this phone (not technology but just the phone)
Sounds like a bad flash.
You can, reflash the rom
Our try a different one
What kernel are you using?
I have not used darkeys but this is not a common issue with the rom
Darkyy

The problem you have with autorotation is because you loaded Darkyys ROM from the I9000 forums. To resolve this issue, use a captivate Kernel. Use the K12O kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880
Flash it in CWM Recovery.
Hopefully your second problem gets resolved after resolving the first issue. I have Darkyys 8 and using it with the SpeedMod kernel, without any issue..
@rickysa2000 your kernal worked amazing and my phone is mega fast and the auto rotation is back to normal but I still can't download an app successfully. Since i downloaded the kernal, half the time the download is successful and installs and half the time it goes back to the Darky's screen but for both, the app still isn't on my menu. Maybe I'm just being dumb and it's right under my nose, but either way I still cant find it!
Try this
Go to settings
Applications
Manage
market
Clear data
I tried it and it didnt work. I also tried to download other apps besides quadrant standard and that sent it into the darky's screen as well. Any other suggestions? Is there a place where I can see my downloads besides the pull down menu (which doesn't show it) to see if it got downloaded to some obscure place?
Just an idea, but why not download gaskets from the captivate section, and flash it again. I have never encountered your issue but if I did I would either reflash, or flash stock then reflash
Try flashing ytt3r's Captivate port, as he mentioned fixing several bugs present in the I9000 version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10133066&postcount=1
(it's the big "DOWNLOAD HERE" link)
Thanks everyone! I'm downloading the newest Darky rom from ytt3r but for the mean time I just flashed phoenix which works great. But as I was flashing it, I noticed a nice scratch. AHHHH

[Q] Updated to CM 6.1.1, now no usb connection

I've had my phone for over a year now without any problems, until now. I did four updates at once, and now I've lost the ability to connect the phone to my PC.
-Radio update from 5.08 to 5.12
-HBOOT updated to 0.35.0017 from I think .0012
-Cyanogen 6.0.0 RC3 to 6.1.1
-intersectRaven kernel update
In that order. Same usb cable, same port (although I've tried different ones).
Everything works as it should, except for the fact that I can't connect via USB. I've been reading random threads for several hours trying everything I can think of. I've downloaded the SDK and updated my drivers. I've been trying to get ADB to work, but my phone never shows up when I do "adb devices". Tried uninstalling, reinstalling drivers using various methods (usbdeview etc), no go. Yes, my USB debug is on.
I was thinking of reflashing Cyanogen and the kernel, but I really don't want to do a data wipe :\ I'm the type of person that will only ask as a last resort, but I'm out of options and I'm now banging my head against a wall in frustration...
Update:
So the problem appears to lie with intersectRaven's kernel.
Last night I reflashed CM 6.1.1 and just ran the stock CM kernel as a test, my usb connect option showed up.
Seeing as I could connect, I took the time to download a newer iR kernel and I flashed that. Tried the usb again and it wouldn't connect.
So I flashed CM again and my usb connected again. So it must be a problem with the way his kernel is interacting with CM on my phone.
Seeing as I haven't seen complaints on the iR kernel thread, it must be a problem localized with my phone. I might make a complaint on his thread, or I might just run the CM stock kernel until a release candidate arrives for CM7, which (hopefully) shouldn't be long.

G1 doesn't like being charged

Hi all. Have a weird problem with my G1 that my girlfriend is using at the moment. It is rooted and I have tried various ROMs to see if I can fix the problem.
The problem I am having is that once the phone gets plugged into charge, it turns itself off and it seems to loose the ROM that has been flashed so then I have to reboot into recovery and re-flash it. It does this every time I try a different ROM so can't be related to one particular ROM.
Does anyone have any ideas why it would do this?

Experienced flasher, soft-bricked my Note 4 real good.

Hi guys and gals.
I've been flashing roms for years and I've soft bricked my devices dozens of times and have always been able to recover, except this time.
I was running Cyanogen mod 12.1 and all the problems started happening after a nightly update. Basically, the phone got super laggy and eventually started random rebooting. I thought it was a bad flash or something was wrong with the latest update so I did a clean wipe and flashed another rom, same thing happened. Eventually I Odined back to stock and it ran fine for a few days but the problems came back. Now the phone won't even finish boot anymore. I used NAND erase all in odin and and reflashed again, it seems to be better since it wont reboot its self anymore but I can't get past the T-mobile splash screen. Last night I tried reformating the NAND using a PIT file but I kept getting "Secure check fail : PIT". I was starting to thing the problem is hardware related but it won't RR in download mode and I think its too big of a coincidence that it happened after the Cyanogen update. Any ideas?
My first and always main advice is that if you are unsure about your hardware the first step is to Odin back to stock. The reason is because it is a bit for bit rewrite back to the way the phone was intended to be run as long as you do a factory reset from Stock Android Recovery before it boots. This is how your phone was when it came out of the box and it is a great way to check if it has a hardware issue by looking for bad behavior when using the original drivers.
If you flash back to stock completely clean and your phone is still acting crazy you might have bad blocks on your NAND, you might have issues with your RAM/CPU, or it might just be a loose hardware connection from heat or impact. But you can only truly diagnose those from Touchwiz because the drivers are first-party, not reverse engineered to be compatible. If you can reinstall all your apps and use it normally for a week then your hardware is good and CM was the problem and you should try another AOSP build.
I am on the 09/09 Nightly for CM and I can tell you that I have no lag or issues on my device at the moment for what that is worth. Good luck!
Thanks. I might just send it into samsung and see what happens.
