So here's my situation. A long while ago (June 20 2014) I loaded up a custom CyanogenMod ROM onto my phone. I followed the instructions and I THINK I may have a backup somewhere that I made (on the phone itself) but I am unsure how to check on it.
That said, I've had issues with 'unlocking' my phone to use another carrier's SIM CARD. I tried the MetroPCS-provided ones and they didn't work so before I delay further I wanted to see if going back to MetroPCS-stock would work with the unlocking process.
So I want to go back to MetroPCS Stock and before I do I want to know what to do and how to do it. Old threads from other spots on the forum are either too confusing or conflicting.
-I have the Samsung Mobile Drivers installed
-I have Odin v3.04 on my Win7 x64 computer
-I need advice on how to proceed to get back to where I was before doing any custom ROM stuff and I want to know how to check if I already have a recovery somewhere on the phone itself. I'm afraid the original thread where I got the ROM has poofed (somehow?) so I'm not sure which recovery I have.
-I want to know if I can do a full backup of EVERYTHING that is on my phone now before I go back to MetroPCS-stock and then when I am done unlocking the phone I can revert back to what I have now. I just want a working phone before experimenting further with any newer ROMs or potentially bricking the phone.

I've followed the details on making a gold card (thanks Viper) and used HxD to write the goldcard to my SD card.
When i boot up the phone, it recognises the DREAIMG.NBH (RC7) file, but says "Main version is older!" update failed.
I've searched the forums(&google) for this and its come up a few times, but i can't see any solution.
Apologies if it is somewhere obvious and i'm simply missing it
moved to right section
Yup, when i use the 1 click root app, the back up fails and the flash option is greyed out... bear in mind the phone is stock and not even rooted yet...
P.S. Thanks Pilot & apols... couldnt find my post either! :S
[Q] PLEASE HELP ME>>> Before sending my Captivate to Samsung... <<<PLEASE HELP ME
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
So, I'm having a random shutdown problems with my phone 3~4 time (with different exchanged phone)...
So, AT&T doesn't allow me to exchange through their service, instead they told me to call Samsung company for repairing or something...
But before I send my Captivate to Samsung, I want to clear everything that will leave trace of ROOTED, ROM-ed, and more stuff that you ppl do as well...
I currently downloaded back to STOCK version, but want to hear from you ppl, if there is other stuffs that I should concern about...

1. Format internal SD
2. Install stock OS (using odin 1 click if build 10.09 or earlier, for 10.10 n later builds, there is a different process)
I WILL HELP YOU, CITIZEN!
I sent mine back recently. I simply flashed stock and formatted my sdcard then packed it up and sent it away.
Just do everything that the people have said above, but when you use the Odin One Click, make sure that after you restore, enable USB Debugging and do a "Master Clear". Otherwise, there's nothing to worry about.
Hi,
I recently installed JellyBeer 4.18 on my Samsung Galaxy Note coming from stock gingerbread.
The problem I'm having however is that I don't seem to have any connectivity with the cellular network.
Even emergency calls do not work.
When trying to find any mobile networks nothing shows up either.
Phone info:
Model Number: GT-N7000
Android version: 4.22
Baseband version: N7000XXLSO
Kernel version: 3.0.31-CM-ga034655
JellyBeer-4.18-02MAY2013-065910
I figured it could have been the radio since I was using an outdated GB one so I flashed N7000XXLSO but that didn't help either.
Already checked IMEI and after flashing this ROM it's still the same.
I wanted to post this in the official JellyBeer thread, but I'm "new" here even tho I've been a forum lurker for quite a while so I don't have enough posts do go and do that.
Did I nuke my antenna somehow?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
some things you can do
check you apn settings
repair pin prompt, see one of my threads for lpy, its got a link to a possible solution
try restore your efs backup.
reflash modem
at own risk
A friend of mine has this old GT P1000N. He got it used. The thing could never hold any configuration, he would make changes and they would revert after a few hours or so. So he decided to flash it.
He is mostly an apple user, so Android is not something he knows about. He followed this guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI79j97R4qw
And basically bricked the tablet. Then, he gave it to me, to see if I can save it. So, here we are:
I found out that P1000N is not the same as P1000.
I downloaded the latest stock rom from sam mobile (2.3.6) and using Odin I actually made it boot again.
BUT, right after the flash, the first boot says something like:
"E:Can`t open directory `/preload/app/`. (No such file or directory) copy application failed"
Then, wen the OS starts, I get something about system UIDS being inconsistent, and then every damn app starts showing an alert about missing files.
I tried flashing again using the extracted pit file from the stock rom. Checking the repartition option.
Flashed it using the dbdata.
And in the end, the same errors appear again.
I don't want the latest custom rom, or the leaked fw. I just want it to work like it would normally do.
Anyone can help with a simple updated guide?
Thanks a lot!

when he first saw how the changes never hold, that is a sign of failing NAND chip.
The internal storage is stuffed.
The only option to salvage this is by following the threads on external sd only or damaged internal sd.
I have never done it myself and hope I will never have to.
Hello guys,
I bought a shattered-screen D4 off eBay for spare parts. It was listed as not booting, but it actually boots fine. The problem is it doesn't recognize the SIM and as it was wiped before I got it, I can't get anyhow get inside the system. I tried Airplane mode, but still the initial SIM unlock is needed to get inside. I can get to settings though.
Dialing *#06# or looking into settings shows the correct MEID/IMEI.
I tried switching the SIM & micro SD part from my working D4 to this one, to no avail. If there is a HW problem, it has to be on the main PCB - but it doesn't seem to be broken anyhow.
ADB shell won't let me into most folders including data (not rooted ofc):
Code:
C:\>adb shell
127|[email protected]_maserati:/ $ ls /data
ls /data
opendir failed, Permission denied
I can browse contents of sdcard0 via USB Mass Storage - not that it would help though.
Do you think there is a way to root the phone and install safestrap?

hi LuH,
I hope you will still read this. I have exactly the same phone, with exactly the same problem (does not read any SIM, at least italian ones)... did you manage your D4 to work? Was it sim-locked or not? I don't get any messages from mine...
Thanks!

Sorry to disappoint you, but I never got it to work (and didn't really try as this was a second unit for spare parts and testing that wasn't even supposed to boot according to the ebay listing) in GSM. Everything is fine except it doesn't recognize SIM. I tried switching the piece of PCB with SD and SIM terminals with one from my working phone, to no avail, so I suspect something's wrong with the main PCB.
I don't think it's any kind of simlock - that would have gone away when I sbf-restored it IMO. I suggest buying new unit, or claiming warranty for this one if applicable.
What I tried to solve here was how to get past the activation screen (which doesn't work without SIM, it requires it to be inserted for activation) so I can root the phone and install safestrap and flash different ROMs - which can be done using the 4-corner trick to skip activation.
Aha, many thanks for your answer ... at the end I sent back the phone to the vendor, as it was clear that the problem was the PCB/SIM slot. I suppose that a little number of D4 was defected in production, as some other people reported a similar problem here and there...
Hope next one will work
