Help, my girlfriend is gonna kill be if I don't fix - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, get phone was stock 3.5 kk4 and i did the new easy root method to root & get cwm. I was attempting to give her a little ics, dark knight rom when it failed & stuck in boot loop, then I got cwm to work again to reinstall it, worked successfully then stuck at att splash screen. What should I use now, Odin, hemdell, sledge hammer? Any advice please before i screw it up anymore.

Will an Odin work if the phone is on dark knight ics?

I would keep a one click in mind just in case all goes south and nothing works.
Keep trying your three button combo to get into CWM, you can always revert to a backup, which you did make right...?
I've never used dark knight rom, did you follow their instructions to the teeth? I don't know enough about dark knight rom. For stability use Slim Roms 4.0. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS Slim rom is by far the best rom i have ever encountered.

That's what I settled with, nostalgia which is based on slim ics. Only problem is I didn't have any data, I fixed that by flashing a few modems. I finally got one to work so she can call & text but now there is no internet, no Facebook or words with friends. I have blue bars but no g e 3g above them. Does anyone know what the problem it's?
Nevermind, reset my apn to default & everything works.

[Q]Bricked?

Hey guys...
I am a newbie who successfully rooted & installed cognition
everything seemed fine until I flashed a theme called
"CirclesMod_SGS2_Cognition_107blue-signed"
When I turn on my phone, AT&T, cognition, and Galaxy S show up
and then the screen goes black and phone just vibrates once or twice in a while...
My phone DOES go into Downloading... screen
I am not sure what my situation is... I could not find anything like this in this forum.
Help this newbie solve the problem..?
Ok so im the only one this late...bear with me kus im on my phone and i cant refer you to links...first of all...if you CAN go into download there is nothing to worry about...search on xda for "odin one click" download the package once you find it. After run the application and plug in your phone in download mode..you will see that the computer has recognized your phone when in the app thre is a little yellow box in the top left corner...after that hit start in the app and wait for a while until it reboots back to stock..hope it helps

isnt that theme specific for SGSII ROM?
Ooh that is a faaaaail

If you can get in to recovery you can just reflash that rom (assuming you have the .zip on your SD). Also its usually a good idea to have a stock them for your phone on your SD when you are trying out themes. Something in the framework isn't compatible, but if it really is a SGS II theme dosen't suprise me.
sigh.. i passed out and just fixed it
thanks guys!
going into recovery mode and reflashing the rom did it!

clockwork mod
Did you figure your problem out yet? You have to flash a kernel w/cwm; Other than that, in my opinion clockwork mod is racist towards i897 (captivate) If your still struggling; let me know and I'll walk you through from start to finish! I'm newbie so I know how things may get frustrating at times. Oh and don't worry about me being a newbie; I learn quickly!

Yes I finally got it but it was a pain. I did what the link told me to and bricked my phone. Then I had to use Odin to bring it back to stock and my phone would not update from elcair. I then went to Samsung's website and downloaded the updates and tried to follow what the link above said and it worked. I am now on JB with no issues.
I bought this phone from craigslist and I think I bricked it because the phone was running eclair and I was trying to go straight to ICS.

[Q] flashed to page plus.... would custom rom mess up the flash?

I recently had my bionic flashed to page plus from verizon. I have it rooted and bootstrap installed. But before i downloaded a custom rom a bad thought crossed my mind and i definitely need a more experienced answer to the question. If I were to flash a custom rom could it adversely have an effect on the prl or any other changes made during the page plus flash? Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance

keep trying the 4 corners thing. just tonight I rooted my Bionic, installed Safestrap, and installed the IcarusHD rom. I had precisely the same issue as you when loading the new rom, but the 4 corners thing got me out of it. if you've never done it before check out the finger placement in this video:

Thank you so much i was finally able to bypass it. Turned out i was tapping too far below the bottom 2 corners. Thank you sooo much

if you go back to full stock kk4 now, then do a factory reset, does the problem go away?
if not, then it might be hardware, not software.
i think so but now back kk4 so low but ill try

did you have the problem when you went back to kk4, while you were still on kk4?
It sounds like you done goofed. Your only salvation is what was mentioned in a previous post: Odin back to stock. I've goofed up my capdaddy many a times. Sometimes Odin will not take the first couple of times but you will get it right. Just be patient. You must have misunderstood the directions. I know I have while flashing and I've paid the price for not understanding what I was supposed to do. You'll be okay.

If your screen works on kk4 then it should work when you upgrade. I know we sound like broken records with this question but did you follow the flashing directions? It's an elaborate process for beginners. I'm not saying anything about your skills. Just that everything must be done as directed for these ROM's to work properly. There must be something you're getting wrong.

[Q] Is my Tab dead?

I've been running CM 10.1 on my 7310 for a couple of months - it's slow, but it does the job.
Today it started misbehaving more than usual, so I rebooted. It's spent the afternoon rebooting itself about once every five minutes - freeze and hard reboot (Samsung splash screen). I tried different versions of CM and AOKP to figure out if it was hardware or software, no change.
I wiped it and flashed CM 9 nightlies a couple of hours ago, and got the same behaviour. After some googling I found aLogrec and turned it on. As soon as it boots and tries to start recording the logcat, it hard reboots. I figure the onboard flash storage is borked - is there anything I can do? I can't even get it to boot into Recovery, it just loops forever.
I'm hoping someone out there can give me some ideas before I go out and spend on a Nexus 7..
Have you tried to see what happens if you install official ICS with Odin?

You could see if odin still recognize it and fish a stock rom. But by the sound of it I think you're sol.

Odin recognised it and has flashed the right ICS official, but it just sits on a glowing Samsung logo.
Odp: [Q] Is my Tab dead?
I will wipe all data/cache from recovery and see if that works, but I'm not so experienced and you should wait for someone with proper knowledge to give you advice But you just might give it a try
First thing I tried, but thanks for the suggestion

I just applied the Honeycomb 3.2 shipped image using Odin and it seems to be working. Going to attempt to reapply CWM and flash an ICS build now..
Glad to hear it worked out for you.

It's been stable on the CM10.1 M2 build all day. I don't know why the official 4.0.4 firmware didn't work, but I'm glad I tried 3.2 before giving up.
Thanks again to everyone who offered suggestions.

I flashed the 4.0.4 from here and it didn't work, so I tried the 3.2 and restored it to shipped state using Odin. After that I rooted and reinstalled CWM with Odin, and then flashed the CM 10.1 M2 build from the Development forum here the usual way (copy to SDcard, reboot recovery).
Good. I should have mentioned you have to start with gingerbread. Could have saved you a step.
