Hi all, I'm a normal XDA user with my HTC hero.
My girlfriend recently bought the Rogers Samsung Captivate, and had a few issues with it. First the battery life was only lasting half the day. Then one day, it restarted itself 5 times. Then it seemed like it was laggy. At first when she told me about the battery issue I thought, ok maybe if we put a custom ROM on, it may help. So I rooted, put clockwork recovery, then installed Assonance ROM. We seemed to have gotten rid of the lag but the random restarts seemed to persist, then she was having Sms's coming in weird, so I decided we should put it back to stock and get it back to rogers. So i tried doing a restore from clockwork, but it still has the AT&T logo, and when the phone boots, I have a black screen that says no service on the top right, and swipe screen to unlock, but it won't unlock.
All I want is this thing back to stock, no AT&T screen so I can try to warranty this thing.
Thanks in advance for any help, I've done some searching and can't seem to get this thing back to life.
Thanks,
AZ

Scroll down and you will see a link to the stock Roger's ROM.
Microwave...15 seconds...you don't want to overcook
I have that, i'm trying to install it, but it's taking a long time to start installing update. I've tried reformatting everything, I've tried renaming the Rogers stock to update.zip.
any thoughts on how long it should take to install, or any better instructions on how to get back to stock?
Still stuck at installing update after 15 minutes.
also, is there go instructions on how to get rid of the AT&T Logo, or will the stock rom/firmware fix that?
Ok So, I unzipped the stock firmware and it seems to have installed, but I still get the AT&T logo, and I'm still frozen at the swipe screen to unlock section. I can't swipe at all or do anything for some reason.

I'd just like to post that I had this exact same issue when I tried to restore to my original ROM Manager backup, and a solution would benefit both of us.

Nope. I'd always be stuck at that black lock screen unable to unlock. After one erase and restore there was a background image instead of blackness, but it didn't go any further. I just decided to stick with Assonance, but that's not really an option for you unfortunately.
so I was wrong right from the beginning, I didn't flash Assonance, i flashed Cognitionv2.3b8. Sorry for the confusion
I clipped this from the above link to the rogers stock rom.
"Be aware when installing AT&T Firmware 2.2 and trying to recover to Rogers stock, you will have a short AT&T display on boot up. One way to remove this is to flash the phone with firmware from a Samsung I9000 model and then reflash it with the Rogers Firmware. This will remove the AT&T logo. However, there is a chance that this method may, in certain circumstances, leave a seemingly random pixlation on screen upon boot-up for the time the AT&T logo was meant to be displayed. A very minor issue and doesn't affect the phone or boot process"
So try to find a stock I9000 rom I guess. The assonance rom is based off the I9000(Or at least that what it says on boot :/). I'm not sure if that will be good enough. I'm running Assonance right now on my fiance's rogers captivate. It's been working great since she has gotten it. So maybe even just flashing Assonance will fix things for you.
As a side note, I returned my x10 with a custom rom on it for warranty and I never heard from them. My understanding(hearsay) is that it doesn't even go to rogers. I'm in Ontario, and I believe it goes to a refurbishing company that is contracted by rogers where they check for water damage.
So I'm not sure where you are located but it may be the same.
(Disclaimer: I'm not saying you WONT get billed for the phone if you send it back with custom rom on it.. I'm simply saying that I didn't and I have heard of others not being as well. Perhaps we were just lucky)
Good Luck.
If you try this let me know if it works, should I ever need to send hers in for warranty.
check your pm
I apologize in advance if this has been discussed in the past, but my searching here hasn't helped so I gotta ask for help.
Having a problem with me wife's HTC Vivid. It's bone stock. Nothing has been messed with other than whatever updates may have been installed automatically over the air. She wouldn't let me touch it to root it, mod it, nothing.....
Anyway. Problem happened Saturday night. Phone shut down due to dead battery. Put it on charger overnight. Tried to boot it up Sunday morning and it stops at the white HTC screen. Period. Just sits there. Forever.
I did some reading, learned how to hold power and vol down buttons to get to HBOOT. Tried navigating to recovery. It goes to white HTC screen, then to a black screen with a green circle arrow icon, then to a red triangle with an exclamation point.
I downloaded drivers and the HTC RUU and was going to try fastboot usb, but when it said all data will be lost I stopped.
My wife has tons of pics and stuff on her phone (that she has failed to back up ) and really doesn't want to loose them.
Before I wipe the phone and try to reinstall the stock rom do any of you have any suggestions on a way to get it back up and running and recover her pics and stuff?
Or are we screwed? :crying:

You get the red triangle/exclamation point because you dont have a custom recovery installed if Im correct. Using the all in one here is the most user friendly way of installing -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003
Install twrp and you should be able to recover your pics/vids by selecting "mount/mount sdcard" in the twrp ui with your phone plugged in to your pc. Then opening the storage located under computer. Navigating to the appropriate folder & cut/pastting to a folder on your pc.
I dont know how technology savvy you are but it sounds like flashing the stock kernel will repair your phone hanging on the htc logo. This is the stock ICS kernel - http://d-h.st/rHX
You can flash it through the all in one. Or follow up here -

Thanks for the help. I was able to get the bootloder unlocked with the all-in-one but when I tried to install the kernel it kept failing. I tried several different things over and over again but no luck.
I finally got frustrated and tried the HTC RUU from their website to see what would happen. I had to relock the bootloader before it would work though. It finally ran successfully and the phone is back up and running now.
Only bad news is that I wasn't able to recover any of her files.
Now she understands the importance of backing up files and getting stuff OFF the phone to another form of long term storage. :good:
Thanks again for the help.

You probably could have recovered your media. Just by mounting the internal memory like I said in my original post. You really should invest in an SD card that way no matter what happens your stuff is accessible. You can use up to 32GB. People also say 64GB SDXC cards work too. But glad its up and running again.

I got into CWM recovery and tried mounting the sdcard but kept getting "error mounting sdcard"
No mater what I did I could not get it to mount and become visible on my pc. I could see the disk drive(s) for the phone, but they were shaded and when I'd try to access them it would say insert disk into drive. When using the all-in-one it would try to push the kernel to the phone, but it got errors too. I tried putting the kernel on a micro sdcard and installing it from cwm with no luck. Couldn't get that to show/mount/work either.
I've done modding to my Samsung phones and build my own pc's so I'm not too technologically challenged.... but, Something was just wrong with this phone and it didn't want to cooperate.
And/or I didn't have the time and patience to keep jacking with it.
Switch to twrp

so i took a 2nd attempt to flash another rom using a different recovery as recommended and i messed something up real bad and i have no clue what i did wrong nor have i ever had this happen. i changed from twrp to reg old cwm recovery and now my vivid boots up and turns off, boots back up and stays on the white htc screen. i tried flashing different kernals and now i cant even get into cwm. as it boots into recovery, it blinks as i can see one line of text and barely any of the logo its so quick.
so how the hell do i fix this? ill unroot my phone and factory reset it back to non rooted status.
anyone know how can avoid this?
oh and im s on.
i believe htc has software that resets your phone. anyone care to share a direct link? i had it before and i cant find it. i want to unroot my phone anyway cause battery life sucks, even setcpu does nothing and i just a BRAND NEW OEM htc battery and still drains like counting down seconds.
thanks
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping that someone can provide some assistance with my HTC One that won't load past the HTC One logo. I've never done any rooting or unlocking, the phone was stock when this happened. Last week the battery drained on me (not the first time it happened), I came home and put the phone to charge and when I tried to turn it on it wouldn't load past the HTC logo. I don't have any custom recovery on the phone. I am able to access the bootloader menu. I tried resetting the phone and wiping the cashe but that didn't help.
I downloaded ABD setup but would like some assistance before I try anything. I've been reading and "googling" a lot over the past week but it all seems a little over my head.
I'm a total noob when it comes to cell phones but I'm willing to learn.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time.
Hi XDA community,
I'm scared out of my mind. Tried rooting for the first time ever, but don't actually know what I'm doing. Using various guides I found in these forums, I:
1. Used HTCdev to unlock the bootloader
2. Used ADB to install TWRP 3.0.2-0
3. Used TWRP to install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76.zip
Once that finished, my phone tried booting up (the white HTC logo) but now it has the red development build text at the bottom.... and then it gets into an infinite boot loop.
I don't know how to fix my phone. Please someone here with guidance, please help.
I've got the same identical issue.
I was able to get out of the boot loop by holding volume up and power, and I got back to download mode. From there, since the SU update I tried to install boot looped me (I was following this tutorial), I jumped ahead and just installed cm13 as I was planning to.
This install went fine, but then I ran into the issue of the rom not recognizing my sim card. I've been researching this problem and I guess I need to update my baseband? I tried for hours but I do not know how to accomplish this, and couldn't figure it out for the life of me. This thread on the cyanongenmod forum seemed to be the closest thing to help I could find, but still it didn't help very much.
So at this point now I'm trying to back out and unroot my phone and get everything back to factory settings; it doesn't feel worth it anymore to me since I've just had trouble every step of the way. I've been trying to follow this post to get back to at least a usable factory rom. But I can't even get this one to install because I cannot access my phone through adb while it's in download mode. Furthermore the instructions are just confusing me because I'm not so versed in the nomenclature of these procedures.
Is there anyone that can help me get back to complete stock t-mobile sense? Or if not, help me get my cm13 rom to recognize my sim card so I can at least have my phone working in some capacity? I'd be tremendously grateful of either. I'm really in over my head here and quite scared I won't be able to figure this out.
