[Q] Tethering force close on WiFi and USB???

Hi to all, Ok I have an Att Samsung Captivate with 2.3.5 rooted. Thing is, after I did the upgrade everytime I turn on WiFi or plug the USB cable a very annoying message about Tethering force close appears. I read that to fix it I have to do a factory reset but I cant understand how to do that and what will be lost in that process.
If someone knows another fix for this message pls share it. Thanks in advance!

Anyone knows how to fix this??

Same thing here, except I'm completely stock, never rooted, running OEM 2.3. Annoying as fark! Anybody know whats going on here?

factoey reset will delete all the apps message contact etc from the device completely i will not touch the sdcard at all
to do factory reset go to setting- backup and restore- factory data reset and it will ask you the google account password if you have linked it then phone will restart and will dovthe reset

I got annoyed with as well. Decided to go down the custom rom route and flashed Legend. The problem has gone away and I'll never look back. Since warranty and support from ATT are no longer any issue, I'd urge you to go that route.

You can do this: - lock bootloader
- power on device
- enable adb debugging on device
- make sure you have adb and fasboot working corectly
- connect device via usb to PC
- run RUU with administrator rights
- and from there on just follow the instructions given by software

you really need the 2-4 lines i mentioned up for this to work

Well I managed to lock my bootloader and that, but when i tried to install the RUU it gave me a error. I think it might be an older version.
I think I'm going to need the 2.00.771.3 version :S
I think my phone is useless now. A bit of info, I tried factory resetting my phone (I have rooted my phone prior to this and stupidly thought that factory reset would get rid of the root) but when I reset my phone after the inital setup had gone through all menus it said setup has stopped working. Then my phone wouldn't work no apps or home screen, I could recieve calls and then go onto my settings at the top but nothing more then that, I'm not sure how I can get my phone working again now lol

[Q] Flashed hotspot unlocker, now com.android.phone has stopped. Please help.

I was/am rooted/unlocked, I flashed an unlocker for the hotspot, then the message for com.android.phone began popping up continuously. Tried accessing the bootloader, but for whatever reason, it won't let me get to it. It also appears that my Airplane Mode icon in Settings keeps rapidly blinking on and off.
I managed to turn on Debugging, but it doesn't seem that ADB can see the phone. I've tried to ADB into the bootloader and it won't work.
Windows DOES see the phone in Computer, so I know it does at least see it to access the drives on it.
Please, please tell me that there is still some way to make my phone work again.

Found my way into Recovery. Did a Factory Reset, but the issue is still there. Is there something I can flash that would fix the issue?
I don't care if I go back to stock, locked, unrooted. I just want my phone back. ^^;

Wow im just going down the list in Q&A and you keep popping up, lol. You are having way too many problems with a brand new phone, i would READ this thread and RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
And if you do RUU and first thing you should do is a nandroid backup in recovery. Also depending on what firmware you have i would S-off(then again with your track record maybe not) If something stops working after you just did something(like flash a mod or app) you can always go into recovery and restore a nand backup.

One plus 3t - urgent help data. Will pay.

Running freedom OS
So long story short my phone was taking ages to turn on.
Then it got to the stage where it wouldnt go past the spinning round dots bits.
I got into recovery and I can still get in there but cannot mount data.
It worked like one time then didnt, password is correct.
So when I try boot the phone I get the message "your password is correct but your data is corrupt and you need to reset your phone"
I just want to know a) is there anyway to mount the data to copy it
b) dirty flash from as far as I can get into the recovery - no data mounted, to hopefully try just get phone on for long enough to get data off?
Your help much appreciated. Photos are a big one id like, and then of course apps and app data.
Thanks.

Hi, ok. let´s try a few things:
b) I think, when you are flashing rom again, there should be no troubles. Like you can see in the OP of freedom os,follow the instruction:
Can i dirty flash this rom ?
Yes you can, but you need to do a wipe system, cache and dalvik.
Obviously, if you can make a clean flash do it, it's better.
Don't dirty flash if your previous rom was not FreedomOS or OxygenOS.
a) mounting data is not possible in the moment for my understanding. But you can try to connect your phone to a pc or laptop and you can try to mount the whole phone from there - so you can save all the data. Hope it helps :fingers-crossed:

Thanks. So far lost pics and a wallet with $30k crypto in it. I have moved on and did a fresh install. Sick.

Sorry for your loss.
I would recommend you look into configuring Google Drive to automatically backup the important files and folders on your device. Real life-saver if it ever comes to it again.

Stuck in bootloop after october update

Hi everyone, this morning the OTA update notified me that the october update was avaible for my phone, i started the update and after then it was working perfectly. When i was trying to unlock the phone, it started having some trouble recognizing or my face, either my fingerprint. So i decided to restart the phone, but back then it is contiously turning on and off, and sometimes it says "Android is updating your apps". When it is on i can try to use it but there is nor notification bar neither the back, home button. If i try to connect the phone to the pc, it is recognized. Can somebody help me? It is the european model, with exynos, 128 GB and 6 GB of RAM.

I would get the current stock firmware files for your phone model and the current version of Odin onto your laptop. Then just flash over everything. Try dirty flashing first (without wiping) as to not lose any data. If that doesn't work, wipe everything while flashing. You'll lose all your data and will have to set everything up again.

I honestly wouldn't bother trying to sort this yourself (And potentially making things worse), I'd just go straight to Samsung, you shouldn't be having to fix their mistakes.

Now this is what I worry about! Samsung needs to do better than this! It's bad enough that we dont get OTA updates in time and to then mess up my phone while giving me an already late update is so not good. Hopefully some day, we will see a change ?. I will surely know to back up all my data before any updates.. for whenever it comes....

I agree, the problem is that, before updating, i checked online if someone had issues with this update but i found nothing, so i decided to update... i won't do it again without backing up the phone before updating[emoji28][emoji28]
