[Q] android.process.media - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted the captivate today (which was on froyo) (Using the odin method) and tried the official CM10 Rom first and then the AoCP Rom because i was getting a message saying 'android.process.media has stopped. Now i am getting the same problem with every other ROM, what might be the problem?? :crying: !

Did you try to reflash back to stock?
Do next using ODIN, download stock froyo for your rom if you don't have if its single file put it in PDA and flash it ( do not check repartition)
if you have 3 file you can check repartition but you will have to put PiT file aslo but if you have 1 file better.
So when you go back to stock, root your device install CWM recovery and install some older rom like CM7 to get GB with bootloader then when it boot ones if everything is ok, reboot recovery and flash CM10 or any rom you witch.

maybe a corrupted external sd card or other partition could cause this message. if you have an external sd card and unmount it, does the problem go away?

Maybe some rom made bad partitin layout so going back to stock then flash cm7 is the best way. Then from cm7 he can go any rom he like.

I went back to the leaked official GB, using odin, then rooted the phone again , the flashed the kernel with recovery, then wiped everything and then flashed CM10, still gave me the same message and no I don't have an external, only internal SD.

I would try a different ROM, see if the problem persist.

Did u get the error message when on stock gb kk4 ?
Or after u flash a Dev Rom are u restoring apps/data etc. through Titanium Backup ? Or as soon as u flash the Rom and it boots up, u get the error ?

I get the message on the 1st boot for every rom except the leaked gb! And I tried 3 different ROMs, will settle for Gb

Exactly i am in leaked froyo ji6. I rooted it.
You have two options. Swap in a kernel that has 2e recovery or flash back to stock and then flash the rom of your choice.

[Q] CMR back up and restore issue

Hi folks,
When I back - up a rom i can't restore to it, always ends up saying "restore complete" the phone reboots and hangs on the samsung galaxy s screen for over 5mins, then reboots into cmr with various E: errors, such like cannot mount cache, or cannot cache/mount/log.
Also the rom i was using was cm7 rc10 and when this rom is installed the phone reboots straight into the rom where as it should reboot into cmr.
Any ideas ?
Depends on what rom your trying to restore? And what bootloader is on your device

You cannot restore a nandroid backup from a Samsung ROM directly over cm7 via cwm. You need to reflash a stock ROM via odin first. Then you can flash your nandroid backup from cwm.

Few times ago, I got the same problem and I think I solved it with an update of ClockWork Recovery Mod
I downloaded rom manager from app store and hit the "flash clockworkmod recovery" . Then there came a list with phone models, but the gt-i9001 wasnt included, so i chose gt-i9000, i hope that wont be a problem. Next i went into recovery mode, there i saw i was using feamod 1.4 based on cmw 5.5.0.4. After little bit of googling i found that this is the latest cmw vesion... So i backuped my current rom (BlazR ultimate). Wiped everything, format system, chose zip from sdcard and tried the kang version of cm9. Also tried the cm9 normal build4 and tge paranoidandroid but all failed. Just for trying i tried to flash the blazR Rom again, wich has firmware 2.3.6, but this went perfect. So how can it be that my cmw only flashes non-ics roms?

Nevermind. Allready solved. The feamod cmw recoverys dont support ics.. soort i flashed team win recovery

Can't connect to PC/use odin

I haven't been able to connect to a PC for a couple of weeks. At first I thought it had to do with a ROM I installed but I've since flashed a few Roms and it still doesn't work. Of course I've tried the obvious, reinstalling the USB drivers, kies, a few different PC's etc. My last hope is installing the original rom (2.3.4) that came with the phone from my cell provider but as mentioned I can't connect to a PC to use Odin. I purchased Odin mobile for that purpose but it gives me the message that it doesn't work with CM based Roms because of it's partition layout. I'm out of ideas. Anyone know a ROM that will work with Odin mobile or have any other idea that might work?

SAUROM JW8 ROM is the latest updated one I think..

I checked out that ROM and it says that I first need to flash a stock GB ROM first since I am on JB. I can't do that without Odin of course. So what do I do?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
My I9000 refused to be recognised by Windows but would still charge via usb. Only fixed when I physically pushed the connector inside the usb socket up slightly with a thin knife. Works every time now with Odin and mounts as mass storage.

First flash CM7 and the flash stock based rom.. for flashing CM7 follow the following steps:
wipe data, dalvik cache
flash CM7 rom
reboot recovery (if after rebooting recovery doesn't start don't worry.. just try the three button combo and it'll start - This is because of the change in partition layout in CM7 rom and present JB roms)
flash CM7 again
reboot
Now you are on CM7 GB rom and you can flash anything you want.,, the same steps can be done to flash stock based rom directly from JB rom but I prefer going to CM based roms first as they are closer to AOSP.
Having same problem on Epic 4G

[Q] Cyanogen 10.1 back to Darky?

Got CyanogenMod 10.1.2 on my i9000 but want to go back to Darky 11 black edition because it's still the best fully loaded Rom for the i9000.
Tried the full wipe, and mounts, followed by flashing the DarkyRom, but it keeps failing and going back to Cyan.
How can I get Darky back please?
Hey
Did u take a backup of darky Rom?
Also what's the error u get?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
What errors did you get ??? some screenshots would help....:good:
Didn't do a back up of Darky bacause I've tried a few Roms since then (GamerzRom was a recent one).
As for the error, it's not an error as such. I have the Darkys Rom zip and when I try to install it via Recovery, it starts "preparing" and then the phone reboots back to recovery.
Maybe I need to flash a stock rom via Odin and then go to Darky?

darky rom and cm10.1.2 have different memory partitions...old one and new....you need to flash stock 2.36 jvu via odin to change partitions then darky rom on the top of stock
Most important is that you tick repartition and that your rom is a full one (4 parts)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
sorry forgot to tell you...after flashing stock 2.36 jvu via odin to change partitions,you also need to root that stock again(and to get cwm) before flashing darkys. how to flash stock via odin? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
I actually popped to phone in a draw and forgot about it.
Thank you for all the replies. Will give it a go on my next day off.
