I've been having issues with my Captivate any time I flash a rom onto it. Last week I flashed Cognition 3.02 onto it. Everything worked fine for about 18 hours. Then, all of a sudden the phone would vibrate twice and reboot and go straight to the cognition boot screen, and never get past that. I would then take out the battery for a few minutes. Place it back in and turn the phone on. After being on for a bout 20-25 seconds it would do it again. So, I booted into recovery and wiped my user data. That seemed to stop it from doing that for the time being. So I took that opportunity to back some things up and you Odin and Master Clear to go back to 2.1.
After about a day I flashed Firefly 1.5 onto the phone. It has been working for about a week. This morning when I woke up (about 10minutes ago) I got out of bed, and unplugged my phone from the charger, read two text messages, and it began all over again.
Is this a common problem?
When you restore your apps, you're not restoring system data too are you?

When I flashed the ROM's I didn't restore anything in terms of apps. I just moved a folder of pictures back into the folder in the Camera. That's it.

Oh wow. I never was on a ROM except for 1 for that long to see if this issue comes up.
The one I was on for than was di11igaf's 2.5 version. Try using dilligaf's ROM n see if the issue comes again.
This time, pls format ur internal SD too before u flash.

Are u installing any themes on the ROMs? Some themes are incompatible and cause these FCs.
Nope, no themes or anything like that. Whenever I've flashed, I've only installed a few apps, them being E strongs task manager, eBuddy and GoSMS. The first time I only installed those because I wanted to make sure everything was good w/Cognition, but it gave me that problem, so I didn't instally any this time with firefly to see if it was the apps or something. But I guess it wasn't. I'm using Odin as I type this to flash back to 2.1. I did a master clear before of my internal memory, I'll do it again. Not sure if I should flash another rom or not.

I am not sure of master clear, personally. I prefer format of my internal SD so its clean. Sometimes I mount it on computer, and use windows quick format.
Flash the ROM and kernel in my sign, n see how it goes with u. Once u r comfortable, let me know, and I shall post my voltage settings for optimal battery life too.
Correct me if iam wrong but I think both roms are based on rogers froyo build. Maybe try something jpy based, or andromeda which is armani base

Master clear is done through ODIN one click or via the dialer code....CWM doesnt have a 'master clear', it has formatting options....but our external sd card is not handled the same way most other android devices is handled. different mount points i believe.
Well I went to use Odin and it froze up on me so I had to unplug my Captivate and I got that dreaded phone.../ ! \...pc symbol. Took me all day of trying different key combos, finally I saw this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128
To making a jig from the 100k ohm resistors. It took me about 45 minutes to get because those resistors are so annoying but I got it and flashed it back. Then formatted my internal sd using Master Clear. Both of those roms are based on the Froyo 2.2, so I think maybe i should try a rom based on JPY or armani. However, now no matter what I do I can't get into recovery to root my phone...I've tried the 3 button trick as well as using adb...no luck...

This made sense in my mind soI flashed Andromeda on two days ago, and same problem. I've pieced together that each time it begins to occur. My phone has been on and just sitting, charging. When I unplug the charger cord, a minute or two later it will start doing that and won't stop. This time each vibration was short it did it once...pause...then 3 times. Then restarted. Rebooted, stayed on for a good 5 minutes, then did it again. Each time the interval has gotten shorter and shorter. I tried plugging the phone back into the charger but no luck. I really don't have any idea what could possibly be wrong? I guess my captivate's not meant to be customized at all

+1 something in your setup its not playing nice. Try un installing apps you have downloaded one by one till behavior stops, or flash fresh and install apps over time to monitor which its the problem child

One thing I did try randomly last night was Flight Mode. When I boot my phone and its in Flight Mode, it doesn't cycle the rebooting or anything everything works. As soon as I take it out of flight mode, within minute or two it starts the reboot cycle. I tried deactivating data network mode, no luck as well. I will try uninstalling all of my apps, or wiping all of my user data and reinstalling slowly to see if that works.
Are you restoring anything that had to do with your phone
Hey, i'm having an issue with cyanogenmod 7 on my Nook Color. Switched from cupcake because I thought I'd have greater compatibility with apps. Since the change, programs that once worked (e.g. snesoid, beautifu widgets) won't book. Just get hung and ask me if I want to force close. I'm using the tablet tweaks and everything... is this just how it is, or did I mess up somewhere along the line? Thanks.
I can't speak for the specific apps or ROM ur using, but yeah this happens with the occasional app. Remember that u r using an unfinished product. It will get better as CM refines it. Android as a whole is a buggy system. Its never going to be as functional as something like iOS.
Did you wipe either Cache and/or Data partitions before flashing CM7? Wiping the Data partition will wipe all installed applications and settings, however, it will prevent any weird issues arising from incompatible settings across different ROMs and OS versions.
I don't know about snesoid, but my personal experience is that BW works very well in CM7.

Sounds like something's wrong. My Beautiful Widgets works great. I'd try reinstalling using these instructions:
I have similar problems with both Beautiful Widgets and the XDA app. When I log into the XDA app, it gives me a force close pop up. However, when I use the XDA app without logging in, I don't have any problems.
Which instructions are you referring to in that MASSIVE 100+ page post?
Thanks.

The first post on that page.. That's how I flashed CM7 (pretty standard method, really) and I have no problems with Beautiful Widgets. Haven't tested XDA app. To be honest, I have problems with XDA app on my Droid 1, CM7, so I never use it.
Thanks everyone! I installed following the instructions from wiki.cyanogenmod http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
I will give it another shot and report back when I do. Right now I've gone back to cupcake, but still having a problem with beautiful widgets- gets stuck on the "loading skins" screen, never loads.
p.s. I *did* wipe the cache and data partitions
"Cupcake"?? I think you mean "Eclair"?
Cupcake was many versions ago, before the Nook existed, and the Nook Color ships with Eclair...
So, I switched to cyanogen, but I couldn't get beautiful widgets or snesoid to run. Trying to revert to factory settings, but every time I try I get stuck on the word ANDROID in blue.
I've tried hard booting 8x, I've tried running the script to change the bootcount but this just gets me to clockworkmod. I try running the factory reset/data wipe option, but it clearly doesn't remove cyanogen. I've also tried sideloading a 1.1 version zip, all to no avail. Any suggestions? Would uninstalling clockworkmod help?
Are you sure you followed the 8-failed-boots method precisely? That really should have brought you back to stock, at least as far as I understand.
http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
I really do think so. It brought me to clockwork recovery instead of the usual factory reset...
Well I'm out of my league (I haven't done this) but it seems there are still ways... You could check out http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...install-cwr-save-root-revert-stock-image.html or do some searches here.
Now I'm stuck on the N sign instead of android... Tried everything in the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 including the boot partition. No dice. The only way i can get it to boot is to reinstall cyanogen. Is there some trick to uninstalling cyanogen? Any other suggestions out there?
It seems like cyanogen just WON'T WIPE. Even when I format my data, it still loads, despite clockworkmod reporting that it has been formatted. Ideas please!

Bummer. Yeah, that's the link. You might want to look in Nookdev too. They oulined a process that was similar, but they said you have to do the image restore AND unregister... though it's been a while since I've looked at it. It might be more helpful. Good luck in getting it back to stock.
This is unfortunate. I had been under the impression it was a LOT easier to get back to stock. (I still bet someone who knows will give you the right guidance.)
Oh well, I guess it's a good argument for using SD card booting exclusively -- I can't wait for a final CM7 SD Card ISO.
The principal of out school turned in her Tab 7 inch, they no longer want to pay $60 a month for 3G thats slower then a 14.4 dial-up!
It was given to out Tech Department and I snagged it to play with.
OK first thing, it's FC'ing on various apps. I decided to factory restore the unit by booting into Samsung's recovery and wiping the data and and clearing the cache.
This reset it but our principals gmail is still on the phone. It's the primary account. I can NOT get it to delete.
I found a thread here with a official Samsung flashing tool. This one:
Sprint_Galaxy_Tab_EA24_Flasher.zip
It seems to have worked, it got the device back to EA24. However when I reboot, it's FC'ing even more and the principals gmail is still there.
Well, it now sees an update called: EB28
It downloads it then boots into recovery and nothing more happens. No option to update, flash etc.
Also now EVERY TIME I restart/reset this device its like it's been factory reset, all the apps I installed are GONE, my Wi-Fi is GONE, and it FC's like crazy.
Contracts done on this phone so Sprints not going to do anything. Help! I'd like to get Gingerbread on this.
Thanks!
Wow, no one has one of these or has any advice?
Some updates on things I've noticed.
Well, previous to my original post, I was STOCK, non-ROOTED. This morning I used Roddricks guides to flash to ROOT with CWM via Odin.
It seems to have worked OK, I have root and I'm on the stock ROOTED Gingerbread but I STILL had all the default Google accounts. I booted back into CWM and did a complete data wipe and installed CM7. That worked too however when I booted it immediately said NOOK had forced closed...? OK, well I ignored that and installed a couple .apk's I had on my memory card and changed my wallpaper. Then I rebooted into Recovery again and flashed the Google Apps. Upon rebooting I saw no google apps and my wallpaper and installed apps were GONE. I was back to stock CM like it was just installed.
Now keep in mind I had done a FULL wipe to everything in CWM prior to flashing CM7. I booted the device BACK to the download mode and used Odin to re-flash Roddricks stock ROOT and kernel.
Upon booting the phone I'm back to stock Gingerbread and guess what? The default Google account is BACK and so are the two pre-added wireless networks.
WHY IN THE HELL WON'T THIS THING WIPE and why does it keep resetting to just installed defaults when I reboot.
I see I am not the only person with this issue. Someone else made a thread just the other day saying their 7 inch Tab resets on reboot too.
Can someone give us some pointers? In my case I can install custom ROM's but I have to set everything back up EVERY TIME I reboot? Come on, that's not [email protected]#@[email protected]#$
Firstly, it sounds like you're not actually doing the right kind of wipe. You want factory reset / wipe. Either from recovery or within the stock firmware.
Once you successful do this, all downloaded apps and account settings will be gone.
Next up it seems you're not actually managing to install custom firmware. You'll need to specify more details about what you've done and read carefully what appears on screen and report on it if you want useful advice.

I've done the factory reset from stock firmware, I've done the factory reset from CWM 4 and 5.
I've manually wiped from adb using rm -R and rm -rf for /dbdata /system /cache /data, all of which appear to be wiped and then doing an "ls" reports the directors are GONE.
Then I flashed stock GB stock rom, booted up and guess what? My default gmail and wirless networks were STILL there.
Adb'ed back after a root'ed kernel and manually went into the folders and deleted EACH file, then backed out and deleted the folders. Rinse, wash and repeat with the ROM and guess what? default Googles still there along with the Wireless.
Also one thing to note is that with every one of these wipes, boots, flashes etc, lets say I setup the Tab and install a couple apps, add my wireless, change my wallpaper etc, when I reboot, it's ALL gone. The Tab's back to default fresh like I just flashed.
Spent like an hour with Rodderik in the #gtab channel trying to figure this out.
Ok. I believe you.
I still can't rationalize what is happening there. One thing you can trust about computers is they do what they are told. However, sometimes it's hard to understand what you've told then to do.
Kies knows how to restore user state. It's also somewhat evil in terms of still running when you've quit it. Make sure Kies is not running.

Is it possible some settings got backed up to the SD and are auto-restoring? Honestly haven't used my tab in a while so I'm not even sure this is an option. Maybe try clearing dalvik?

sounds like somehow you may have a read only nand mode going on...strange haven't heard of this problem with the samsung its quite popular with the dell streak 7....in the dell streak 7 many people have to send it back to dell to repair it no other way... as for it on the samsung like i said never heard of the problem but if you can't reset properly or everything reverts to a state upon reboot then you may have whats called read only mode basically anything you install change add once you reboot the device it erases everything you did to it....from what i have read its a failsafe in linux try reading a few of the dell streak 7 problems with read only mode it may help in understanding and maybe finding a solution good luck. then again i may be wrong but just what you described sounds similar.
I would just load a new rom like overcome gbsafe_v5

Hey, so yesterday I flashed AOKP on my Droid 4 (my first time flashing..)
I created a backup and everything. Well my phone dosent connect to data while on AOKP (bug?)
So when I to toggle the safe system it didnt work. So I decided to quick toggle and reboot my phone. It just keeps on giving me "droid" the eye then restarts. So I got it to reboot again back into recovery to restore the nandroid. But there was a MD5 mismatch.
Im at school so I dont access to anything. (I cant toggle back to safe system either now, it gives me a error while restoring /data.)
So what can I do?? -panic mode-

I had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago and got an error when trying to restore my nandroid backup to my non-safe system. I went in to advance restore and restored the system, data, and cache separately and that worked for some reason when the regular restore did not.
If you can't get to safestrap menu the best you will be able todo is fastboot to .219 or .215.

I tried doing the advanced restore, but when I tried restore system (I havent tried the other two yet) it gives me a MD5 mismatch error. (tried before and after I posted this thread)
and I don't know how to fastboot...kinda what my phone to be fixed before I go home. My mom will kill me.
First of all, when you say toggling didn't work, what exactly do you mean (what error message did you get)
Second of all, do not quick toggle.
Third, what mode is the phone in now? Try toggling to Safe Mode and rebooting.
Also, what mode were you in when you made the backup? You cannot restore safe-mode backups to the non-safe partition and vice-versa.
Also, you can get AOKP to connect to data by cycling between GSM/CDMA. Yes it is bug.
I was in the Safe System and when I tried to toggle into the Non-safe system it gave me an error when it was trying to restore. I think it was the same "Error while restoring /data" as I got after but I can't be sure.
yeah I know..I just wanted to get back. But good to know Ill be able to conenct to data if I get back to it.
Im in the Non-Safe system right now but I can't toggle back due to the "Error while restoring /data" error.
I did the backup in the non-safe and tried restoring in the non-safe.
I really hope that quick toggle didnt mess me up completly.

You could try doing a factory reset of your non-safe system. Not sure if that would work or not but might be worth a shot. Your could also try booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset. If you go that route and it works you will have to re-root your phone and you may lose some things.
Ok, so I didn't know there was a factory reset option on the safeboot..lol. I didn't select it but when I turned on my phone a black screen with white text popped up, so i shut it down and on again and it booted up to the set up process. Then a while after I tried toggling the safe system again but it gave me the error again. I also tried doing a nandroid but it gave me a error about the /systemrig?
Then I decided to just boot it up normally and it gave me the set up process again. :/

Glad to hear you at least have a working system again. When my safestrap pooped out on me I had to boot into stock, uninstall safestrap recovery, manually delete the safestrap folder on the sd card, then reinstall safestrap recovery. That finally fixed it for me. I have a suspicion it might have been a low amount of storage space that caused my initial problem with safestrap not wanting to toggle between safe and non-safe but I haven't confirmed that.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
Yeah so am I.
Ok so from what I understand I should set up my phone again and unistall safestrap, go into the file manager, delete the safestrap folder and reinstall safestrap and I should be good to good to go with toggling and have it not boot up to set up everytime I turn it on? Then to get back to AOKP I just redo the data wiping and flashing. Sweet.
Yeah that might be it, I've been getting a "Low volume space on SD" error for a while. I didn't know what was causing it to be so full.
If your getting a low disk space message you might want to see if you can find some things to delete or move to an external sd card. I use DiskUsage. It gives you a nice graphical representation of what is eating up your space.

Ok I used it and got some stuff off. Seems like some of the biggest takers were some game data like Temple Run and Spirit HD. heh.
Anyways I did what you said about safestrap, after I finished restoring the rest of my apps..took forever. I reinstalled safestrap and booted into recovery. When I tried toggling it still gave me the "error while restoring /data". Then when I booted up normally I went back to the set up process. Why

That's odd. You deleted the safestrap folder in /sdcard right? Not /sd-ext? If you deleted that then there shouldn't be any data to restore. It should be like you are setting up your safe system for the first time. Assuming that you:
1. Opened the safestrap app and uninstalled recovery.
2. Used a file explorer to delete the safestrap folder in /sdcard.
3. Then opened the safestrap app and reinstalled recovery.
That is what I did and it worked for me. If that doesn't work then I am at a loss. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge of how safestrap works can chime in.
I think thats what I did wrong. I unistalled the Safestap app but not the recovery and didn't know there was a safestrap file in the internal storage.
Ok so far I think I got Stock and AOKP running along pretty nicely. Thanks for the help everyone!
Also, how would I go about updating to a new nightly or another ICS based ROM?
I hope Data connection (3g/4g and wifi) get fixed up. I also been noticing like plugged in a computer AOKP will charge slower than usual. But decharging and battery life seems alright.

Glad you got everything worked out! You should see a link to the nightly builds in the OP of the CM9 and AOKP dev threads. If you are flashing a nightly build of the same ROM you should be able to flash it in safestrap recovery over top over your old build. You should always wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing a new build. If switching to a different ROM that you should wipe data/factory reset as well.
I doubt that the data connection issues are going to get worked out until we see ICS ROMs based on the ICS leaks. But to use those you will need to be on the ICS leak on stock. Personally I am waiting until the official ICS OTA comes out. Not willing to take the (small) chance of getting knocked off the official upgrade path. If the data issues have got you down I suggest trying out the Eclipse ROM. That's what I am running. Yes, it is "only" GB based, but it is very smooth and has no data issues.
I had the same issue
When mine kept resetting, I couldn't get it to even go to safestrap mode. I had it replaced because of endless searching let to nothing.

Probably not going to see a totally working ICS ROM based off the GB kernel. I don't think hashcode is really even working on them anymore. He's more focused on getting a ROM up and running based off the ICS kernel in the leaked updates. Once the ICS OTA drops we should see some really nice ICS ROMs I think. Or you can jump on the leaks. Personally, I'm riding it out on Eclipse until the official OTA drops. Too many hoops to jump through when messing with the leaks IMO.

So is esclipse just GB with ics look? Or does it actually have the improvements and ics apks will work on it? I think I can ride with just ics look and feel till the OTA. I cant even get to the nightlies on droidhive.
Where can I find the esclipse rom? Thanks again

Yes, Eclipse is GB with some elements changed or added to give it a more ICS look. Any app specifically made for ICS won't work but I can't really think of anything like that other than Chrome browser. Most apps are still made with GB in mind because that is what most android phones are still running. You can find the Eclipse ROM thread in the dev section.

Hi, i have a problem with many apps, and really i don't know what else to do, this start out of nowhere, a few days ago the message "unfortunately, (app) has stopped.." it's making me crazy.
i've try to flash another rom, kernel, restore backups, wipe cache, dalvik, data, and nothing.
i've try cyanogenmod 9, gummy, slimICS, dark night, and icy glitch kernel, devil kernel, and many other.
for example,the titanium backup, shows me the message every 30 minutes, the CK: zombies, doesn't start anymore, youtube too, minecraft pocket edition, play store, and many apps.
please i need some help, before i pull my captivate away
THANKS!
Try opening Terminal Emulator, and type "df". Next to /datadata, see how much free space there is. If it is less than 15-20MB, you're going to want to move some apps to the sd card, or apply a datafix script.

i did it and show me 40 mb free space, 131 used, 172 total, blksize 4096.
Hmm... that should be enough free space, but you could still try the datafix script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665742
Make sure to do a nandroid first (if you have anything worth saving at this point...)

i made it and still the same...
I've had this happen to me with tibu try restoring all the apps without data and then see if they FC if they don't then you know what's causing them to FC. I'm afraid your going to have to set up all your apps again. That's what I had to do.

i've did what you recommend i wipe all data again, format sdcard, emmc, delete all my data and flash again, install one by one and test it, some apps work and some sill not working, and now appear something like system is not responding... wait or close.. and in my case i use apex luncher, apear "apex ... stop working..." these two did not appear before.

You didn't need to wipe your cards... Basically the problem is your Tibu backups were probably done with improper settings, and the data cannot be restored. Restoring just the app should still work though. You are going to have to start over again.
This is only correct if the apps won't even open

do you have the low data notification? If you do, keep moving apps to sd until it goes away; then, reboot. I've had this problem a few times when i first flashed to ICS.

i have same problem with google maps.
after a fresh installation. it s runnning but when i restart i have that message "unfortunatly.. app stoped"
Same issue, with Gallery/Camera
ok, so i'm on Tsunami 2.0 running devil kernel, this issue started while i was on AOCP, whenever i open the camera app, it immediatly says Unfortunately, Gallery Has Stopped. so i tried reflashing the gapps, same issue, tried flashing the 4.2 gapps, same issue, so i wiped everything and switched to the AOKP Tsunami ROM that im on now, (gapps built in) and SAME FREAKIN ISSUE....any ideas guys? (im pretty experienced with android and flashing roms, i've got a buddy who is rediculously experienced with it, and neither of us can figure this out)
EDIT : Just tried the picasa synk option in Tsunami OTA menu, same issue. i cant post this on the thread for my ROM, cuz i haven posted enough.....HELP
What about go to the Settings/ Applications/ All/ Gallery...select Clear cache and then Force stop. Then back out to home screen and open camera ?? See if that fixes the problem.

that was one of the first things i tried, and have done it several times since, still no luck....then i was gonna try and download a different camera app, and im getting server error on the play store....WTF. gonna try and reflash my gapps now, see if it improves anything.
EDIT: play store is working, downloaded Camera MX, it loads, but only shows black when trying to take a photo....i know that the camera physically works, i've been able to snap pictures and videos in the past.....
?? Idk what the deal is...but if all else fails, i suggest flashing back to Stock KK4 Full wipe ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912 ) then flashin KK4 Corn Kernel version 7.0A ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18233847 ), then flash ur Rom of choice.
