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] 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...

Captivate Issue Please Help

Hey guys I just got my Samsung Captivate I wanna use as a backup and well I think I already bricked it. Ive had a Samsung Captivate for a year and I never had this problem but now i am.
I used the AIO Captivate Toolbox and wanted to install the 3 button fix. So I go into Odin and put the PIT and PDA files where they should be and everything goes fine and it even says it passed but now its not turning on at all and it wont respond to a jig either.
i hope someone can help me but im fearing the worst.

AIO toolbox was taken down because the "3 button fix" bricks phones that already have gingerbread bootloaders. i guess.. you could say 3 button fix is included in gingerbread bootloaders.
as the 3 button fix only flashes 1 of 2 bootloaders and was only needed for the VERY first batch of captivates, and was RARELY ever needed although hundreds of people un-needingly flashed it... and still couldnt figure out why they couldnt get 3 button combo to work ( noob error is why).
once the gingerbread bootloader came out, 3 button fix was removed EVERYWHERE possible because it was bricking phones. and if a phone has gingerbread bootloaders it DOES NOT need the 3 button fix.

The phone was on stock firmware though. So I'm guessing my phone is hard bricked?

^ Which Stock ??
If u have zero signs of life (even when u plug it in to charge) ...then yep u r hard bricked.
If u r on xda while on a pc, check out my signature link below for suggestions/links for "Repair".

The thread is there explaining what needs to be done, but unless you have good soldering skills you will need to pay someone to do it.

[VIDEO] Idiots Guide to Unlocking & Rooting the Google Nexus 7 Tablet

I have done an Idiots Guide for other devices, and now its time for one on the Google Nexus 7 Tablet. I tried to make this guide as thorough as possible, including driver installation, so hopefully this will be as successful for you as it was for me. If you like this video, be sure to check out my other Nexus 7 and Android videos in my channel.
You do need to obtain Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit from here:

Today, after watching your video, tried to download your unlock programe for Nexus 7, however, after download began, I found I had downloaded tons rubbish, toolbars, shopping progs., and other unwanted rubbish.
It took me 20 minutes to find and remove all this junk, would be better if you put these files some where we can eaisly downlaod them, by the way, there is not the original prog., you mention .......... so I gave up.

thanks for the post.

Yes. My next video will demonstrate how to use an app to mount a usb drive. The app requires root, so this guide is necessary as a first step.

hey OP, i followed your video last night and after a few unplugs, task kills, etc. finally rooted my device.
i also followed your step to not flash CWM when rooting, but realize I might want to do that now. is it just as simple as plugging in the device again, then changing the option to CWM and clicking Root in wugs tool?
TIA.

That is a fantastic question. I will attempt to do this and get back to you with a response.

I have always rooted my phones after their warranty period has expired. I was waiting to do this with my N7 also but I see the toolkit had the option to return to stock and relock the device so I assume there is no warranty issue. Also rooting has come a long way and gotten much simpler than 1 to 2 years ago when I was rooting my G1, think will be rooting my N7 this weekend
