Hi guys,
First post here, but been actively watching and gaining knowledge as I go..
I first want to say Thank you to all the producers of these new ROM's we have available!!!!
Now I wanted to say that my Captivate recently "Bricked". It's ok.
I had Root(SU perm.) Titanium backup, Rom Manager w/Clockwork mod & OCLF too.
My problem occured yesterday(Oct. 28th) - A day that will go down in history!
I was running Unhelpful's Cog Rom 2.1 and decided to upgrade to the Cog 2.2 beta 9 ROM.... After i did everything, it went well.... I noticed when I turned my phone back on that it wasnt recognizing my internal memory or even external.
I tried rebooting back into recovery and tried to reinstall ROm manager or any app and it kept saying, "not enough space". So I tried to reboot recovery and install a earlier version and nothing worked. Now it just boot loops into recovery screen and Clockwork mod seems to be gone!!
Oh well no harm as it is under warranty and my new one will arrive by Monday...So my question to all here is - When I receive my new phone, can I Root? Reinstall my Titanium Backup and my Rom Manager and Clockwork....Then put the Cognition file 2.2 Beta 9.1.2 (or 3) on my internal SD and watch the maqgic??? Or do I have to do anything else...? I should backup my stock ROM to where?? Internal & External card?
Thanks guys,
Mike De.

It just won't go into download mode? try taking out the battery and sim and doing it again.
EDIT: and just leave only the battery in when you try it.
open odin 1 click stock restore on puter, phone off, hold down volume up and down then while holding plug in usb, should throw u into download mode and and odin
take the sim out, the external sd( if any ), the battery...now connect it via usb...now hold down the volume buttons( both of em) and now put the battery in....it should go in download mode
You are telling me that this method doesn't work?

Thanks, but I did this and it did go into Download mode but not recognized by computer... ODIN opens but nothing happens... nothing in any of the boxes and start does nothing.
Somehow my phone is not visible to PC...If I could get it visible again or even go back to stock, I wouldnt have a problem.
As I said previously, when i re-install packages in recovery it does NOT take me into Clockwork Mod recovery.
So, yes i can get into Download mode on phone but not PC. Just constant boot loop into Samsung recovery..............Now any takers want to try to come up with solution?
hey folks, running miui. msg came up to format sd card. didn't know it wasn't my external but my internal partition. some of my apps aren't working. so i'm going to re install miui after a factory reset. would this wipe have affected anything with android it self? would I need to run odin, flash stock then miui?

No it shouldn't affect anything other than whatever data/files you had on the internal sd card (music, videos, etc.) If you factory reset and reinstall MIUI you should be fine.
Hope u kept a copy of ur TiBu folder on ur PC and also hope next time u'll post in the correct thread

Make or buy a jig
anyone know a place in the toronto area that has them?
so the jig will get me in download mode.
would i then run odin, download rogers stock 2.1 rom and flash that?
Well have you tried getting into the download mode ,through the usb insert?
And if you want the JIG contact adam outler here on XDA he will help you out and at a cheaper price....
I have a question on the clockworkmod recovery using the ADB..obviously when you try and install it through Rom Manager you only have an option for the Optimus V...so I followed the thread that designgears posted..enabled all the permissions and it seemed to all work...however, after the phone rebooted and I checked my sd card, nothing new was there...there is however a file on my internal memory "mmcblk0p6.backup"..its 10mb...is this the backup file it was supposed to create...also, when I go to Rom Manager and click on CWM it still says its not installed..am I doing something wrong or mising a step..any help is appreciated! I really wanna have this so I can flash a custom ROM...thank you!

You cannot use ROM Manager with the Thrill at this point. It sounds like you mistype a command when you were doing this. I would go back and redo the steps.

I think he may be misunderstanding CWM. In order to see if you have it installed, you need to do the 3 button combo when restarting. If you redo the steps that DG posted, you are probably going to overwrite the stock recovery that you just copied to your SD card.
Try restarting your phone while pressing and holding the 3D button, Volume Down, and then the power button until the LG comes up. Release the Power button only (keep holding 3D and Vol. Down) and it should boot into CWM.
Thanks for your reply! I tried the 3 button combo and it booted to CWM..so thats great...could you maybe elaborate on what you meant by overwriting the stock recovery...did I mess anything up by using the ADB method to install CWM...it says I'm supposed to have a recovery file on my SD card, but as I said, theres a file thats labeled ".backup" but its not on my external card..its under my drive for the actual phone memory...thanks again! I'm really new to the whole Android scene..I had an iphone for the past couple years and fairly good with jailbreaking..dont miss it at all tho..this is a bit more complicated but love the challenge! thanks for your help!

The concern would be if you did the procedure that DG described to put CWM on more than once. Since you did a backup of the stock recovery once, and installed CWM in place of it, if you did another backup of it, you would essentially be replacing your original backup with a backup of CWM instead. None the less, it's not really anything to worry about, because there is a backup of the stock recovery posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 as well as the stock ROM. I just didn't want you to be surprised if you wanted to go back to stock and tried to restore your original recovery only to find that it is CWM that got backed up.
Make sense?
Yes, makes perfect sense..I actually did try that for the second time before I posted here...however, I moved the .backup file from the first try to my external SD card before I tried the second time...so I have a .backup file on my external card and the one from the second try on my phone memory...could i just delete the file from my phone memory and move the external file back? lol...just a thought...in any case, you have a good point with the stock recovery and rom available..thanks again for your help!

No problem. As long as you have a copy of it somewhere, you're golden.
where are the guides for installing clockworksmod, cwm onn the thrill?
People talk about it but i cant find any thing other than people asking about it when searching clockworksmod, cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257588
In the first post is how you go about installing CWM on your Thrill. Best thing to do is read through the posts and understand what you are doing before you start.
Great! Thanks again!
great that did the trick
for everybody who has trouble with where it says the rest will b done on the phones shell in cmd type:
all commands are done on the computer NOT the phone
kinda confused me
i've went through the steps that dg posted at least 5 or 6 times, and as far as i can tell, everything works in adb, but when i try to reboot, it just starts with the lg screen, then att screen and boots like normal, no cwm

Are you using the 3 button combo to get into recovery?
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
yep, power off, hold all 4, release power once LG come up and keep holding the rest, still get att and boot up
You're only supposed to hold the 3D, Vol Down, and Power Button.
ah, i thought it was vol +/-...
that works !! thanks, lol
Well guys....i think this problem stems from me prematurely removing the usb cord. I Understand that. But here is the other couple of predicaments. lol Ok i'm on ICS Stunna 4.3 ......well after something went wrong i'm unable to "repair" my internal storage. Everything still works smooth....but i can't add things to my internal card. Every time i hook up to the computer it says it needs to scan and fix the card.Well the problem is starts to fix it.....but never does....progress bar never finishes. Tried this on 3 different computers. Nothing.So try to install a different rom....i have some on my internal and external. Always aborts in cmw....never finishes. So on top of all this Stunna has started acting odd. Likely read errors.....but problem is i can't switch roms! lol I have tried everything. I was wondering should i format both cards? But if i do that how can i back everything up if i can't access my card? Any help would be appreciated guys. Hoping i don't have to Odin back to stock.
Cliffs- Internal storage won't repair on any computer-Can't install anything in CMW because of it
I have the exact same problem now, as you do. CWM can't install any .zip files, I can't flash Abyss kernel, so it's just stuck in that end.
I installed ICS Stunner 4.5 coming from GB with full wipe. This happened to me after I tried to copy some files over to external SD Card and it failed, seemed like the phone froze (SOD), so I figured flashing another modem would do the trick (read it in ICS Stunner thread's 1st post). Tried to transfer the file over a cable, but same thing happened. After rebooting I just grabbed it from dropbox and installed the modem successfully. I went ahead to try and fix the mounting problem, so I plug in the cable and it offers me to scan and fix both partitions (internal and external). External card finishes successfully, but not the internal one. And after that I'm in the same situation as OP.
Any ideas anyone?
Enable usb debugging(setting-appl-development)
Connect to pc
Select to copy file to fr computer from notification
You will find separate drive letter for int n ext card
Rt click on int sd card letter n format(you can backup imp data to pc b4 this)
Hope it shud b fixed

Gonna try it now. Have lots of pictures to backup first tho
EDIT: Same thing happens as with scan and fix procedure. It starts and just sits there, nothing happens. When I try to stop "USB Storage in use" it just shows the spinner and hangs in there. Only holding the power button helps solve this. My guess is something in the internal SD card partition is broken... just can't say what or how to fix it.

Same problem^^^^ Not sure what to do about all this
Short story:
Formatting didn't work.
Long story:
Okay, so following the idea to format the internal sd card's partition, I achieved it not through Windows format dialog, but through the half-broken CWM. Both my SD Cards were formated (internal and external) in the process. So since I used the external one for backing up important info I had to use [email protected] UNDELETE to get it back (after booting to ICS). In the process the native SD Card mount service seemed like broken, I had to perform a few hard resets. Hangs seemed to occur whenever I tried writing to one of the cards. I downloaded multi-mount SD card app from Play Store and transfered AbyssKernel's .zip and now when I try to install it from CWM it says
Installing: /sdcard/AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip

Please help if you have any ideas on what might work. Us 2 guys are in trouble...lol
I don't know if this will help or not but give it a try.
Enter into the download mode and flash any stock firmware using PC Odin. This way you don't need to access any of the cards. After flashing stock ROM, try fixing the internal SD again and if it still doesn't fix, send in your note to Samsung for repairs.
Sounds too simple to be working though but worth a shot.

Well for now the phone works, but it's stuck on ICS Stunner. I was thinking to use PC Odin or Mobile ODIN, but what if it doesn't work because the partition is corrupted in some way (as it is now, because CWM can't flash anything).
I'd like to hear more insight before I go the odin-way

I'm downloading an old GB rom myself..
While I am, I can share a thought: I feel that ICS is not yet ready.. at least not for me. Feels nice and fast but buggy USB transfers is a big no-go for me. Also after trying AOSP derived ROM, I decided to wait for a good Samsung edition ICS because all the little tweaks add a good feeling to the experience, I tend to miss them on AOSP or AOKP or w/e

Oooh thanks! Didn't know this. So now I'm pretty confident because if flashing conventionally fails I'll just repartition and get rid of all the partition errors. What do you know, I feel like I learned something new today
SOB! Just did the whole Odin to stock thing and i am stuck in a bootloop! lol
I think my problem is used a .tar instead of .pit.....where can i get the .pit?
Ye same happened to me. Reboot to recovery (volume up + home + power) and do a data wipe/factory reset. After that it boots. Rooted and flashed CWM just fine after that, copying my old GB nandroid backup to SD card as I write

Too bad for me, since I had recovered the latest nandroid with undelete software (cus external sd was accidentally formatted) and now I'm getting a MD5 mismatch Guess I might as well start fresh now, since the last good backup is like 2 months old... Another lesson for me.. always keep your nandroids safe

Yeah. After quite a time of failed attempts we succeeded. ODIN > Stock GB ROM > ROOT + CMW > Anything you like. No re-partitioning was needed in the process
i have same problem but more complicated. iam on stock GB and its happened after flash bad kernel
the case in detail's :
i flashed wrong kernel on my device previously and now when iam trying to flash another kernel even use ODIN or CWM everything going well and completed but when check i found the old kernel still. i tried many times with same results and no error .
- system can read/write/mount the internal memory but the new pasted files deleted after restart. external card behave normal and i can preform flash using files pasted on it.
- in CWM wipe/format/flash operations running well but no effect on device even restarted to CWM only.
- device has yellow triangle. is it effected?
- the devil kernel stacked in machine is 2.6.35.7-gb4846d2 [email protected] #2 and the build no. is jpkj4
system running normal but cannot keep any changes i do if restarted.
-system rooted and no problem with root
-can access adb
- ODIN behave same CWM, operation work but no change.
can anyone help me guys?
i did repartition the memory useing PIT for note butno change also
thank you all in advance

How exactly did you try to install marshmallow? Try forcing a reboot by holding the power and volume-up buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds. I want to see if you can boot properly.
I got a notice on the top of my phone saying update Available . So I downloaded it 795mb and once it finished downloading , I hit install and it did begin to install. Until less the half way the red ! Came up. I also did a factory reset and still did the same thing
OK let me try rebooting now

Have you unlocked the boot loader? Or something.
Have you tried it again, maybe the download was corrupted.
And if for some reason it doesn't want to update there is the RUU, but it will require a PC. Be adviced, The RUU will delete everything on the phone and you will have to download all apps again, I'd recommend to move personal files over to the SD card.
