[Q] Update to Cognition V2.3b6 Sim card won't work

Good evening. Yes I am a n00b when it comes to Android. I have been trying to install the latest 2.2 rom from Cognition, V2.3b6. I have a Samsung Captivate. I get it to install fine except I have no phone. I get no bars and no 3G indicators. I go to status and it says I have no phone #, doesn't know network, etc. It appears it's not seeing the sim card?
I'm using Rom-Manager Clockwork mod to do the install.
Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? I have just used Odin 3 one-click to restore to factory (again) and saw I did not have a sim card installed and I've just powered down, reinstalled SIM and I get my 3G indicator and my full signal bars.
Help. I'm nervous about trying to do this again because I don't know why it is doing this. It worked on the first Samsung Captivate I had but I had to exchange it out because it had problems.
I've always believed to stop when I'm not sure what to do next.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've just restored to factory. Might re-root it and be done with it.

Are you certain you installed the SIM card correctly? I've done it a bunch of times myself.

Sim card
Yes I did. In fact, when I did the flash from 2.1 to the 2.2 the sim card was already inserted. Was I supposed to remove it first? I hadn't read anywhere about taking it out before flashing to the new rom.

You aren't suppose to flash with a SIM card inserted, or any external SD card inserted either. It won't hurt, try to flash Cognition again. Remember to use ODIN to go back to JF6 first though.

Wrong - Always have use cwm & flashed with everything inserted - never a problem except when I screwed the pooch on the TiBu & opted to restore the system files too
OP - sounds like like a bad flash, I'd re-download it & reflash. You already know you can get back with Odin, so there's no downside.

Sorry for the back and forth banter, do yourself a favor and remove sim before flashing. It does not always cause problems but has been known to cause your exact issue

Thanks
Ok guys thanks.
I knew not to have the SD card inserted except when you are flashing rom. It's my understanding the SD card is used for storage. I will try flashing it without the SIM card installed and see how it goes.

Just remove all of the cards.

Thanks!
Ok. I reflashed the ROM without the SIM card inserted. I saw it recognized there was no SIM installed and now I have my cellular connection.
Thank you guys for your advice!!!

Sluggish
I do notice that the phone is sluggish now with the 2.2 rom. Geeze.

If you have not done so reboot a couple of times. The lag fix on that build usually works better after a couple boots.

I've heard that the latest CM7 has difficulties recognizing the External SD card when connected to a PC. I'm not sure if this is what you're describing?

Cm7 reads SD cards fine as long as when you install it you have froyo installed first. If you installed cm7 from eclair or Gingerbread, check the cm7 troubleshooting post for instructions.
Also remember the external SD card is mounted as emmc.

Mine came with froyo from new so it went straight from froyo to cm7, And its not really when its connected to the pc its when its in the phone aswell just nothing?

Overclocking

So, I've tried several different methods of overclocking and I've run upon an issue with my LG Thrill. Any frequency I run over stock locks my phone up. I can run 1188 for a while but I'll suddenly start getting freeze ups after a couple hours. It gets progressively worse until I eventually go back to to stock. Even if I bring the frequency back down to 800 it will freeze up until I reload an unclocked kernel or remove the OC modules. Ive tried this on every ROM available for the Thrill always ending the same. Anyone else had this issue or do I have a problem with my phone? Maybe some other apps I'm running? Others seem to have no problem running 1188. I can't even run the DOOMED Froyo ROM right now.

Have you cleared your cache and dalvik ?

Yes, it may help for an hour or so but then goes right back to locking up.

Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

I don't know for sure, but I may have solved the problem by formatting both SD cards. I'm on doomed froyo overclocked @ 1188. I'll give it a couple days before I call it fixed but right now it seems to be working good.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

How did you format the SD cards? I will also try that to see if it will work or not.

Under Settings go to SD Cards and Phone Storage. BEWARE though... You may lose stuff if you don't back it up somewhere. Formatting erases everything on your SD cards.

Well we have the lg thrill p925 not the sgs2.
no help to us

its the same on p925g u have to un mount external sd to format it i think
if your on cm7 dont format sd card it will brick your phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have the sgs2... I have the Thrill. Formatting both SD cards fixed my phone.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App

I'm running cm7. So inn order to overclock correctly I would have to return to stock, format my sd cards and then go back to cm7, and then finally overclock my phone....? is that correct? Is it really worth all the effort?

Well Im very new at modding Droid X, but I have an important question...
Is the hdmi fully working?
Or is there any rom which make it work as it should?
I mean something like a mirror.
Thanks!

Downloading Now. I just hope it's for the rooted .621 Non-Milestone hack. The Milestone hack (for root) is .604.
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Update:
First I tried it without gapps. Everything booted fine, but there was no market nor would accounts/ sync let me add Google account.
So, I rebooted into recovery, which worked fine, and flashed gapps.
This time on boot, I actually got the Droid X welcome screen, was able to put in Google info, and market initiator ran and updated.
After that everything worked fine.
Tested Bluetooth, Messages, Gps and Calls. Didn't get chance to try Wifi yet, but I'm sure it works since everything-else does.
The only thing that Would be better is an updated Superuser. The 1 included will NOT update SU Binary. I think it's the old edify binary. Even by updating Superuser in the market WON'T help. Although an easy fix is to get RootUninstaller and uninstall Rom Superuser, then download new 1 from the market and install.
Keep up the hard work. Nice Rom.

Finally, does this works for any other gb kernel besides .621?
Anybody please tell us!

Nope, but maybe yes

Nope, but I may have a bad download as I forgot to check the Md5 sum before I flashed. Install was aborted. I can't try again right now because I have another phone to flash and have to go to bed early tonight.

And thank your for the review I've been waiting for a review like that I've created a couple roms and no one has have gave me so much input

No prob Kiladar. I think if someone is going to comment on someones work, they should at least review it and be as informative as possible. It makes it easier
on the devs to look at potential probs/fixes too.
Oh yea, I also got to looking into your system/app folder in your zip. The vending.apk is Not in there, which i would say is why I had to flash the gapps. Just wanted you to know.
Also there is no "boot.img" (which is kernel right?) in the new dwnload.

Right, I will update OP saying to flash gapps rather then say not needed

wifi works just fine with it, and I agree bout the updated superuser since you cant uninstall the one you have with it which means you also cant update to the new superuser because they are different volumes but over all nice ROM.:good:

I had it working on mine but my .605 was the .621/.605 deodexed hacked version cause I was on the .621 before I did the work around on the magic 5 route, originally I did the .604 work around but it should work on the .605 stock rooted, but then again I was also running the kernel for the .621 sooooo if the kernel is the key for running it maybe you cant.
Try another download, maybe you did get a bad DL

I tried this again but, I think the real problem is with my microSD card. I have subsequently tried to flash other roms and have had other aborts as well. I know that the md5's on those checked out. I was able to flash a cm9 based rom and got it set up just fine. All this from the same card on the same phone. Sooo I am attempting to format the card just in case I have bad sectors or something.
Luckily my DX is no longer activated and just keeps me from killing my SGS3 with flashes.:silly:

I hear ya, I had the same prob with sd card so i formatted mine as well, problem was still there though. whenever i tried to install a rom from sd card via rom manager the problem was i kept getting the message saying waiting for sd cart to mount then it would say error bla bla bla sending log file to cwm ect ect ect.... i dont know exactally how i fixed that, all i know is i installed another rom, like cm7 or cm9 for instance and after that whenever i went to back up rom it worked fine ever since.... maybe something flashes over correcting the sd card problem when you install a rom... I know rom manager checks to verify the marker on sd card and thats what your problem is I believe.
Try doing this, try installing a rom cm7/cm9 without making a backup (i know you could lose everything if it fails but its the only way i know that fixed mine) after you have installed cm7/9 go to rom manager and hit the Backup Current Rom it should reboot you to cwm recovery and make an auto backup, if it does this without throwing up the waiting for sd card to mount error stuff and it runs the backup program and then reboots you it should fix your sd card problems.....

Review this rom
this is by far a ROM with the least lag by far i tried liquid ICS and plenty others don't know what it is but the lag is really minimal runs really smooth i only have this for like 3 hours but will update soon
pls hit thanks if i helped

[Q] HELP: SD Slot won't mount any SD CARD

Hi, so for the last two weeks i found this issue that's been killing me.
I run a P970 (Optimus Black) running always the latest NIGHTLY from CM10.1.
Two weeks ago I was updating the phone to the version "10.1-20130121-NIGHTLY" and everything went smoothly but after the reboot the phone wouldn't mount my SD card anymore. Mind you that I use a good SD CARD (Amazon Basics 16gb) and tried going into storage and mounting it from there. After several atempts such as removing battery, inserting SD and booting again I decided to check if my SD was corrupted.
IT WAS NOT! TAM DAM DAM!!!
I could access all of my files just fine from my computer.
Just to clear my mind I decided to format the SD card with SD FORMATER but it did bloody nothing.
After that, still holding on to my good manners I tried 3 other SD CARDS that I had laying around.
Nothing....
Now. It was personal.
I spent these last weeks and many aeons searching XDA and the rest of the internet for a case similar to mine and the closest I got, is a thread about a EVO 4G. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Unfortunatly, my Optimus Black refuses to play nice and still hasn't shape shifted to a EVO 4G so we could all move along.
Does anyone has come to a problem like this one? Know how to fix it?
I have already prayed to the Elder Gods and all that it brought me were these horrible, horrible nightmares.
Please, help!

You should do a backup, so you can restore it if needed... although restoring it without a working cwm will be... hard to impossible i mean restoring it without being able to mount the sd card is pretty complicated... are you able to access the sd card in cwm?

Download the latest nightly in your PC
Put your SD in your PC
Copy the file to your SD
Put your SD in your phone
Turn on your phone
When is on long press your power button
Select reboot, select reboot recovery
From there you must know the rest.
