help with captivate!!!!

i installed bugless beast and now everything in the menu forcecloses i cant do anything. any suggestions? please i go to try the odin3 unroot but i cant get the drivers to install. have no clue why help im a noob i aint doin this again.

wth is an odin3 unroot, do u mean 1 click restore?
and more importantly you need to get those drivers working or else your computer can't see the phone,which means you cant run odin in the first place. i don't understand want the problem is, you run the .exe file and restart your computer if you have to, just make sure u match 32/64bit of your OS

10 charcater

If you can not get the drivers on the odin thread to work put samsung captivate into google search. Go to official web site. Bottom of page, download manual, click, click software. There is a download for drivers. Try them

[Q] bought a rooted cricket Zio, need help

need some help here please, I bought a cricket Zio the guy said it was rooted, but he had set it back.....well come to find out it was still rooted, I tried to do the ota update thats out for the cricket Zio but it keeps saying fota error, so i think he deleted some stuff off there that it needs to do the update......so my ? is can it be but back to stock os with cricket and if so, how would I go about doing it or can a cricket store do it for me. Thanks

Wow, sorry to hear that. You know you can get root for free. By the way CricKet does not support rooting. The only way that would happen is if you get a rep that knows what he/she is doing.

Thanks Mattix for the reply, and yes I know I can get it rooted for free, the trouble is that from where he rooted it, it want let me do the ota update to 2.2 thats out, keep getting an error....he set the phone back to factory and cleared the sd card, I thank he must have deleted somethings off the phone. I just want to know is there a way to get the cricket factory OS back on the phone, Thanks

You can go to the boot loop fix further instructions. You just need to use fastboot to brick your phone by erasing the boot and system images then put your phone in Modem Download Mode and run the update.

ok thanks, but I think I am going to wait and have a friend of mine look at the tread, he's a whole lot more computer savvy then I am when it comes to command prompt and stuff, because I have know idea what all this means lol...... 3. cd to where fastboot.exe is installed. ex:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
4. Type the following with a return at the end of each
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot reboot
Thanks for all your help on getting me on the right track

No prob. If you really need help I might be able to help you via remote access. Don't worry I would never do anything to harm your machine, I worked for AT&T U-verse tech support so I'm legit.

[Q] Newbie question, please don't kill me!

So I had an old cyanogen mod flashed on my phone and nothing was going wrong. I think I flashed it in late November 2010, early December 2010. So I was fine with that and then I got bored. So I flashed the Dilli ROM and the market stopped working so I flashed to Serendipity and that's where the real problem started. Every time I would get a call, I would lose service automatically and the call would fail. I just thought it was a problem with the way I flashed it. So I then flashed the Phoenix ROM hoping that would fix the dialer problem but it didn't. I am currently on the newest phoenix ROM and I can download apps from the market, send and receive texts, make calls and even use the internet. The only thing I can't do is receive calls. I know when a call is coming because the phone starts to ring but before it shows me who is calling, it automatically loses service and fails the call. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is there anything I can do? Any information would really help. Thank you!!

Have you tried flashing to stock?

You might need to flash to stock then flash a different rom

The fact that you flashed multiple roms without knowing how to flash back to stock is idiotic. Flashing back to stock is the one thing you should know how to do because it can save your phone.
Read this ENTIRE guide and follow it step by step or you will continue to run into the problems you are having. These anomalies cant be diagnosed by us because your phone probably has files from numerous roms on it by now. Flashing back to stock and using a master clear allows you to diagnose issues much easier.

Hey noob, how about next time you post in the CM7 sticky instead of opening a new thread?

Deleted
Because I'm an idiot

That's most likely the modem. Find out what modem CM7 uses and as long as it's the same base as you're using now (i9000/i897), find the CWM for that modem and flash it.

You call that a slam? Tearing him apart? You must be a liberal. The ROM-specific stickies are here for a reason. All these posts outside the stickies just make sharing that knowledge you speak of harder. Why is it so hard to comprehend that if there's a sticky with a dedicated subject that maybe that's where any posts on that subject should go? XDA is also about rules and they exist for the benefit of all.

Please use a search before opening a new thread or post rom questions in the provided Q&A rom thread.

Where are all the bricked devices?

I was about to do my tech support rounds like I usually do once per week and provide some support in the "I bricked my device" threads.... But there are none.. Every week about 1 in 3 active threads were along the lines of "Black Screen, odin won't flash", or "help, my Cappy wont turn on".......
Did UnBrickable Mod clean this forum up or are people just not flashing anymore? Is everyone using Heimdall one-click? Either way, it's pretty cool that this problem does not appear to exist anymore.

Lol just cause there is a lull for a week doesn't mean the issue is resolved. just wait, there will be more. I guarantee it.
Not to say your work isn't doing any good, it is. Genius work. But there will always be people who don't read everything and/or are brand new to flashing and make mistakes, not to mention connection issues while flashing boots.
Keep up the good work, i'm sure there will be more bricks for you to rescue

I'm unbrickable!!!its so great!

Honestly, I have made just about every noob mistake that can be made over the last 3 weeks and have yet to get myself to a point where I couldn't get the phone in to DL mode. I can't imagine what some of these people must do to get them completely crapped out.

haha thats funny cause i bricked my device last thursday and got the download dongle on monday. but did you say there is a mod that makes it unrickabe?

I think people are becoming smarter and more cautious about flashing bootloaders for no reason.

Here, fix this instead...

I have noticed that the phones are harder to brick with the new bootloaders.

WARNING regarding the OTA update

Hey guys, do not flash the OTA update manually with CWM, it bricked my tab an will most likely brick yours too.
Make sure your tab is stock 3.0.1 and wait patiently.

To clarify, I'm taking about the OTA zip from Google, not the cwm backup.

Tbh it's not such a crazy thing to think that the OTA was ok to flash with CWM.on the galaxy nexus that was fine to do.

Just wondering if anyone has had any success in unbricking their tab yet. I was reading through old forum posts and there was a thread where fricorico had flashed a transformer rom and couldn't load fastboot or download mode. He said that he managed to get his tab into apx mode and could then eventually get the tab back up and running.
I can't post a link because I'm on the xda app but our forum isn't too big to find it and try. Also, not sure what or how to get into apx mode though so this post may be literally useless to most people. But maybe someone knowledgeable will remember something as a result.
