ok guys here is the deal. I just flashed teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Captivate (BUILD 16) and faced multiple problems :
-no service at all
-phone doesnt recognize internal sd card, and keeps asking to insert sd card to be able to use camera and media player
-no option to choose wifi that i want to use
-cannot connect phone with computer via usb even mass storage is on
I need help desperately guys as soon as possible!!! can someone tell how to fix these problems, or tell me how to fix connection problems so i can copy another rom to my phone, or maybe how to go back to stock settings and stock rom !!
try flashing different ROM, may be?
Nostalgia 2.1 is out.
Check the sticky in the dev section for an odin flashable stock rom. Don't use cwm. Start back at kk4, flash a cwm kernel (corn or similar), then try cm9 again.

Do this and try again. But before you go and flash things, make sure you know the way out first.

Thank u guys, i found my way out of this...now i have icsgs rom installed and ive got encryption unsuccessful problem than broke my internal memory, and now i have to deal with that...this phone really hates me :Thanks u guys for help
There is a thread in the Dec section with instructions for a work around for the sd card failure problem.
Can't find the link atm since I'm on my phone.

Hey guys i got new question for u, well now while im dealing with encryption problem i used the guide that yall mentioned and im having little problem (i hope its little) so heres the deal : whenever i try to pull or push file using adb i got device not found error. Im trying to push vold.flstab file that i somehow got out system/etc folder on my phone without using oull command since it wasnt working. I got it out and modified it but i cant push it back. How can i fix this error or how can i create a zip file to flash this file to my phone using cwm ???
Nevermind guys, figured out how to change that file (using root explorer) but now when i changed i was supposed to restart phone (thats what guide said) but phone now stucks on boot screen. really dont know what to do -.-
My friend says to me all the time... "your doing it wrong" and "just stop hacking your phone and u won't have that problem"
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yeea, I figured out that way now when my phone is totally busted, im gonna get new one (Captivate again) and not gonna mess a lot with it as I did with this one.
Really you shouldn't have to worry about completely messing up(but don't hold me to it) I thought I was done a couple times, but even when my captivate was soft bricked and my computer wouldn't recognize it, a USB jig pops it into download mode that we all know and love ... and from there you can flash back to whatever you like.
By the way...when is the last backup you have made? If it was right before you flashed, just go into download mode, flash to whatever you were on, restore your nandroid, then start over the right way(or choose not to flash that again)

Hi guys,
So basically I got a bit over-excited and flashed a new ROM without disabling lag fixes... now whenever I flash a ROM or want to disable lag fixes, the phone just doesn't start up unless I put it into jfs (the fix I was using when I messed up) basically I can't boot the phone with rfs anymore.....
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it easily fixed?

this is wrong forum to post
by the way what does this means "Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App " if ur phone is bricked than how can u send it from SGS ? u got another one?
I can boot but only if I reapply lag fixes, can't boot without a lag fix enabled.... sorry if I wasn't clear
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
well to be true, i never disable lagfix before installing any new firmware to my phone. let me tell u what i do --
1) First flash I9000XWJM8 ( eclair rom) with RE-Partition and 512.pit
2) format sd card
3) flash new froyo rom ( whichever i want to )
4) Flash Kernel whichever i want to.
thats it. thats how i do it and it always work for me. Dont know if its the right thing or not but i always do it this way
Hmmmm, OK thanks, I'll give it a go!
so?? successful or not?
Just got it all back up and running (after a brief detour via cyanogeb beta... fun!) And it seems to have sorted it! Thanks alot!

Ok, so i just flashed this rom and so far so good, no problems flashing, which i am surprised as this is the first time i've done this.
The only issue i have is that there is no email app. I guess i should of gone into the kitchen and got that, but i was overwhelmed and just plain forgot.
Is there anyway that i can get that without having to reflash the rom completely?
Thanks
Sure. Just download the zip from the kitchen. Reboot into recovery and flash the zip. Any of the add-ons can be flashed. You don't have to reflash the rom again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Hey thanks. I thought by adding those it would include the complete rom also. I'll give it a try.
Ok so i went to the kitchen and got what i needed. It all seemed to work properly except the Samsung keyboard. I really don't like theis roms keyboard. I like the colors and stuff. Should i try and reinstall that or does that go hand in hand with Samsung mms apk too?
I'm not sure about that. There's a "Serendipity Q&A" thread at the Captivate Q&A section. You'll get a quick reply there.

Sorry didn't notice a section for that here. I didn't see a section for roms specific to the captivate. Themes and apps were the closest thing. Anyway....
I found the problem. Thanks. So far so good with this rom

I've tried that and it still doesn't work. I've flash 6.3, but I had to download the zip file directly to phone and do everything from there.
I'm gnna try to flash a different rom and see what's up.
hello,
i know creating a new thread isnt the nicest thing but my note isnt responding and im sweating badly
i have also posted this under the thread with the call recording mod but doing this here for faster response
i was running speedmod kernel k3-13 with stock 4.0.4
in the day to update by phone via ota reverted to stock kernel, still the update failed so reverted back to speedmod.
everything was working fine till then
sometime back thought of trying the call recording mod...
deleted the 2 files mentioned and then flashed the zip via recovery
after the reboot network gone, touch screen working intermittently and baseband version to unknown.
will flashing this rom via pc odin help? i dont have mobile odin
N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5---Download--- India
i might have also done some stupid thing that i dont remember but i guess above mentioned is all what i did.
please help
thanks and regards
sujai
Just replied to call recording thread
Again writing steps here wait
Get root explorer
Put device in flight mode
Extract recording zip file
You will find two folder appl and lib in system folder
Now copy files in lib folder to system/lib
And appl files to system/app
Change permission. To rw-r-r
Delete phone. Odex and phone utility. Odex. From system/app folder

thanks doc for the blazing fast reply but had taken out the battery and was waiting for reply
now the touch screen wont work, it just stays on the home screen...thats it
i cannot go any further, no option works
please note that the phone is showing baseband version as unknown (saw it when the screen was working earlier)
and
there is no network aswell.
thanks doc, hoping for a solution.
even if i have to loose all my data to restore phone to factory rom and kernel, im okay with it. but just want my note to come to life.
Restart device and just try pressing power button and if you get option to flight mode, it should work for further procedure as I have mentioned.
If you finish as I suggest then you will get everything working with record mod too.
If you are unable to handle then just put device in Download mode and reflash modem with pc Odin it should work, in last resort just reflashed rom otherwise, neither method will wipe your data.
Just need patience, don't be panic this is little issue.

just flash the stock rom again using pc Odin to get back to original state
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
dear doc and nokiamodeln91,
pressing the power button does take it to airplane mode but then the phone does not get recognized by computer when i connect it.
so i would want to flash stock ROM straight away and just need a clarification. Ill put the phone in download mode, connect it to pc odin.
and then click the phone tab or the PDA tab?
will flashing this ROM - (N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5) get me back to stock ROM and kernel?
afterwards i can always update it via OTA to the latest ROM and then put speedmod k3-13 kernel back, right?
will do as you say and report back. any other thing i should keep in mind while doing this?
thanks a ton for the help
regards
sujai
If you put ROM file for Phone, then it should work too. It will just replace your Modem, which is corrupted right now.
If it doesn't work then use it for PDA, it will replace full ROM and that will work sure.
a billion thanks doc for helping out!! though it failed in phone mode...worked in PDA mode and best thing is that i have all my data aswell.
thanks a ton and respect to you!!

glad to know you recovered it, basically it was not a big issue, just bad flashing
Now if you want to recording MOD, don't flash zip but just copy files manually in flight mode.
thanks nokiamodeln91
and doc, right now i just flashed to LR9 by your method...rooted it and now installing mods...
your help has given me so much of confidence that everything seems so cool to do.
thanks a tons once again!!
(will trouble again if i mess up)
ewwww all my user installed apps have now gone grey!! followed everything to the T. did not do a clean install though
and though the phone has rooted i still dont hv supersu in appl drawer even after flashing the second way you mentioned...just letting you know so that you can check it out
Have you installed app to sd card?
This is bug on new launcher, move them to phone number everything will be fine.

yes that happens to the apps moved to SD card.. restore them using TB or reinstall them
and as dr ketan mentioned.. on the new twhome launcher... the apps moved to SD card will not stay where to fixed in (folders etc)..
No need to restore with TB/Reinstall
Just go to setting - Application - Apl on SD
And appl which are on SD card will have option to move to phone, move from there and that will be sufficient.
yes doc did that yesterday and its all cool!! call recording and transparent weather widget also working great!! all thanks to you!!
are you trying to find out a way for apps to display icons even when they are moved to card?
No, I think it can be solved by new launcher only, hope next update we shall get it fixed

Hello there guys!
I tried to flash my Samsung Galaxy Tab (P1000) from ICS to JB yesterday, but it wen’t wrong and now everything is a mess
It all started with that that CWM didn’t start up properly when I tried to get in there. “Screw this”, I said, and tried to find another CWM to flash. I didn’t end up very well that either when I went from CWM 6.0.X.X to CWM 3. The recovery told me that everything was unreadable and I couldn’t do a damn thing.
So there I was, sitting on my chair, wondering what I was supposed to do. My conclusion was to flash the tab with GB stock firmware, and so I did. But even that screwed up since Odin reported “FAIL!” and that is where I am right now.
The stock recovery tells me that it “failed to mount /data”. I guess it’s my internal SD that’s been messed up.
So what do you recommend me to do? Since I can enter Download Mode and the stock recovery (which though is quite unusable), I guess this is nothing more than a soft brick, so I'm not that worried, but it's tiring that it won't work propely.
Any hints, guys?
Already use overcome method?

Charlie, I had similar experience and in frustration and panic I resorted to GB_Stock_Safe_v1 and it rebooted and I had a new clean system on the tab. Actually it didn't reboot as expected after ODIN was finished. With the yellow download symbol still on the screen I had to unplug it and close and reboot manually.
Make sure to include modem.bin in PHONE or you will get NO SIM card error.
Set it up like this in ODIN
PIT - gt-p1000_mr.pit
PDA - GB_Stock_Safe_v1.tar
PHONE - modem.bin
You have to find the correct modem.bin from one of the folders in the GB_Stock_Safe_v1.ZIP
If you have success then insert 001007-Overcome_v2.0.1_HERMES_Wipe.zip into top level of your sdcard then into recovery and install then it should boot OK.
Any trouble locating the files or further suggestions just come back.
Stock safe v1 is so old. Hermes is old too.
Follow my signature for latest one.

They may be old but anyone with a soft brick is just looking for a bailout and they do that very well.
In fact after rescuing my broken tab with these oldies I went into recovery with
Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip
and it worked without any problems, so I unbricked and got the latest firmware.
You know where to get your oldies?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hi priyana,
I am unable to locate them on the net now but if needed I could post them here.
I am never going to trash them that's for sure.
You are right in recommending Overcome, longbreak, but why would you want to use v1, especially if it's not even available on the net anymore? If someone wants to recover from a soft brick, just follow priyana's link, and you will find v5. This is the latest version, and I'm sure it will work just as well, if not better.
Thanks, I will try that next time. Only reason is I had version 1 and 3 for some reason and when I was trying to save my brick version 3 would not work for some reason and version 1 worked so It's really academic whether to use 1, 3 or 5. Whatever works does the trick and then it opens the gate to get to the higher level.
I disagree that it is merely academic.
V5 was the last version team overcome packed, and it made a very reliable baseline.
By saying that , I mean v1 will work for some, v3 for others, but v5 for all.

Hi everyone, as you can see I am a n00b and am in need of help.
Basically I upgraded my n7000 after running a German version of ICS (4.0.4 I believe) to the latest UK Jellybean. All worked well except that JB is pretty slow and totally drained my battery. After becoming frustrated I decided to try to flash my phone back to ICS and found a uk/Ireland version (4.0.3). I popped the phone into download mode and ran Odin successfully. Jobs a good one.....until I tried to restart my phone. It appeared to boot up as I could hea the Samsung splash tune, however the LCD didn't light up, nor any of the touch buttons. In a panic I tried to revert the phone back to JB which appeared to work except I still have the LCD/ touch button problem.
So, can anyone help at all? I can put it into download mode and connect it to Odin however KIES doesn't appear to see the phone when it's on and plugged in. Should I send it for a JTAG repair, or can this be fixed via the PC?
Thanks in advance!

Thats an odd one really, but I would try flashing stock GB with pc odin, there are many fewer flash problems with gb and it's a good place to start.
Forget connection to kies, so long as you can connect to odin.

Thanks for the prompt reply SpyderTracks, I will give that a whirl. Any reccomendation of where to get a decent stock GB as I tried from Sanmobile and they only seem to have later ICS and JB. I did try to download a copy from an old thread on here but I couldn't unzip the file with win zip or winrar both said "unknown compression type" when I tried to extract even though I could see the tar file inside. :S

Mine did that when I put the DBT release 4.1.2 on my phone, then put a custom kernel. Reflashed it several times with
no luck, then, tried a kernel from a different developer and it worked just fine. Downloaded the original kernel I was using
(speedmod) and flashed it again, and sound but no lights. Put Philz kernel back on it and it worked. Not sure what the
deal was, but with my device, the DBT LT5 rom and speedmod, I couldn't get any video.
Thanks SpyderTracks all working now, battery is a bit iffy but I think that is hardware more than anything else, I've changed the charge port and it's the same. Both batteries are fine in my girlfriends phone though. Hey, at least it is alive!
P51D - yeah I got totally worried, it's really odd, plus I couldn't really find anyone else who had this problem when I was searching. Thought I may have had to go for the JTAG route.
In my 40 + years of fixing electronic circuits, I've always found that troubleshooting ALIVE, although not working properly, is a hell of
a lot easier, than troubleshooting DEAD
