Well I just got my cappy today. I decided to install froyo, I went with cognition.
So i rooted, installed Rom manager, backed up. Installed Titanium backup. Backed up everything i didn't knew what it was. Installed cognition.
After this when it loaded it keeps giving me this error constantly and lagging the phone. Since its my first android phone I'm not sure what to do. I didn't restored anything with Titanium, though I'm not sure if this program does this automatically...
I cleared user data and cache and the error persists.
I'm currently on Ubuntu on my pc so odin is not an option. So I want to have the phone working fast, preferrably with froyo, should i download another rom and reflash with rom manager? Any ideas on what I've done wrong or why the error is displayed?
I'm very thankfull for any sort of help, premature answers are more than welcomed
Either try to get odin to work with ubuntu... Wine?
Find someone with windows PC and odin.
Dual boot xp / 7 and do it yourself
First this is NOT the area for questions per se this is for DEVELOPMENT.
I suggest you try in the General or Q&A section or in this case the Cognition thread since that is the one having issues for you.
Without ODIN I cannot recommend anything so I suggest you try the Cognition thread amigo.
Regards
Just removed my simcard and the error stopped
Does this mean the phone is no longer unlocked?
I bought the phone unlocked so I'm not sure how to restore it to the way it was. Should the unlock code still be somewhere over my phone internal memory? Any quick ideas on how to do this? Or should i look into the whole unlocking post on froyo?

Check out this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778609. It involves setting up a VM(virtual machine) but that is a very easy task. I hope you find this helpful. But do not flash over Cog. You need to use Odin, flash back to stock, do a master clear and then re-flash Cog via CWM.
You prob's flashed Cognition right after the reboot forced by ClockworkRecovery, so the media scan wasn't completed, phone freaked and just lost most of its powarrrr.
Oh yeah: wrong subforum...
Sorry about the subforum btw

That sounds logic. Any ideas on what should I do so I can make the phone stop giving me this error with my simcard inside?
btw i dont know if this has anything to do but with my simcard inside i noticed 2 things
First it gets gsm signal crashes, looses the signal, regains it and this loops over and over.
After this i also noticed one service restarts over and over when this happens

This happened to me once, so I went back into recovery and used CM to reflash. My files were still on the root of the internal SD card, so I figured I'd give it a shot. It worked for me - cleared up my FC problems.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by using CM to reflash? When i boot into recovery i only have three options:
reinstall
clear user data
clear cache

Select reinstall - hopefully it will launch the CM recovery mode. Then you can select to install from the SD card.
Just reinstalled cognition but it still has the same problem. Should i download the i9000 reoriented and try with that one to see if by any chance...?
Did you try reflashing with sim card out? Maybe a master clear would help too?
Yes the last time i tried with the simcard out. I'm guessing the phone is still unlocked, a master clear woudn't change this? If anyone can confirm this I'll try it asap.
I'm downloading as well Doc's rom 7.5 to try reflashing that instead, I can do that or I have to downgrade and then reflash?

How did you do it? I tried reinstalling without sim card and it did not work.
I had the same problem, so I reflashed to factory /w Odin and made sure to wipe cache and data, and it worked without a hitch.

Did factory w/Odin, then wipe cache and data through reboot and then reinstall the package?

I think the problem could be that your unlock code was deleted. When you flashed. If you can not use odin try this, find the jh7 ota update. I think you can get it from the cognition download page. Flash this it will bring you back to a 2. 1 Rom. Read up on how to unlock your phone. Unlock then copy the unlock code. Then flash cognition again and follow steps to unlock.
If you are on the newest cog make sure you disable the voodoo lagfix prior to flashing. I can not guarantee this will work but it is worth a go. If you created a nandroid prior to flashing once you are on jh7 you should be able to restore
Captivate
Cog 2.2
I have a g1 that I rooted using universal androot, I decided to uninstall myfaves and was unaware that it somehow affected contacts. Afterward I performed a restore to my phone, thinking it was going to help but now I'm stuck in the google welcome screen and the welcome app crashes every time it gets to sync and I cannot get past the welcome screen. I know it was a stupid thing to do, if anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
Can you go into Recovery mode?
Yeah, I can get into recovery mode. I also used the hard reset (alt + w), the sign in still crashes once it starts synching.
Try to restore nandroid

lol if you have a custom rom in and you remove an important app, doing a hard reset wont restore a custom rom... you have to either restore a nandroid/BART backup file (which means you needed to make the backup before you messed up the custom rom) or you need to re-flash the rom completely... which there are many guides and methods here on xda you can follow to properly flash roms, basic method is boot recovery, wipe data, cache, sd ext, etc..... than repair sd ext!!! than flash new rom.
Be sure you have the proper requirements needed for Rom! ex:
Radio=1.2.xxxxxx/2.22.xxxxx (many different ones)
hboot=0.95.xxx/1.3.xxxx (many different ones)
sdext=2,3 or 4 (some require none)
I will try it out, thank you.

another method to try (not garenteed) would be to unzip the rom on your pc, go to system/app folder and copy the fav5.apk file to root of sd card on your device. than go to market and download 'oi file manager' (or any type of file manager app) than flash the fav5.apk file that way.... make sure unknown sources is checked in settings/applications on device
Awesome thanks
Got it working!
I got it working. Just wanted to post the update, thank you guys for the help!!!
Hi everbody, I have a rooted phone which I wanted to unroot to be able to install the 5.1.1 update. But when I unrooted the phone without even doing a factory reset or cleaning the cache or all of those wiping the phone procedures, the phone got totally wiped and also the memory got completely wiped with all folders and whatever gone. Pictures are backed up to Google Drive and numbers are in Google Contacts but there are some folders and backed up apps that I wanted to have.
Is there any way this can be restored? I'm guessing there is not, but I still wanted to put the question out there if anybody knows a way?

Always back up before starting. They are gone. Lesson learned.

1) Not sure why your device got wiped...
2) Only way to restore is if you had a backup stored off line...
3) There is no reason to "unroot" if you intend to fastboot flash the factory image.
4) Using the "unroot" feature is NOT sufficient if you want to flash the OTA update. It still leaves a few modified files around, and the updater script will not install the OTA. You will need to fastboot flash the factory system.img. If you are going to do that, then just fastboot flash 5.1.1 and be done with it.

Op what "method" or steps did you take to "un-root"?
Manually, or some toolkit? Did you re-lock your bootloader, or check or forget to un-check some sort of reset my phone to factory settings setting?
I'm gonna sell this phone as rooted, so yes I DO KNOW the factory resets keeps the root and recovery and all that. But can I SAFELY do a factory reset from the Settings, just to remove my personal info. The phone has stock rom, but is rooted and has TWRP installed. Thanks.

I'd use a Rom Update Utility (RUU) on it before selling it... You can always just flash the recovery after, the same way you did it before. Because that will definitely get rid of anything you have on it, and I would put a different SD card in it to!

Ah gotcha! Thanks
Just out of interest, if I just did a plain reset in settings, would it like, screw up my phone? I assume not, since the rooting/recovery is stored in different partitions, and factory resets only /data (user data)?

No it won't screw up the phone but the thing is your personal information could still be on there just overwritten and someone who's smart enough could still get the information restored and do whatever with it so if you've done banking and stuff on it I'd advise you to use the RUU and completely wipe the SD card or put another one in there because you can still restore overwritten information..
My Note9 loses wifi several times a day. My other Samsung phones, located next to the Note9, are fine. SM-N960U.
Have you tried wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode.
Please look here
This may be able to shed some light with WIFI

Yes. It didn't help. Samsung wants me to do a factory reset but I don't have the time or patience to put everything back together. And I still don't know if it will fix the problem!

You can factory reset without losing data. Flash latest rom using home_csc and you will retain your settings and apps .
If that doesn't fix it, then do the same but flash regular csc which will wipe data and settings.
Games, apps, ECT are mainly all cloud based now anyways. The only things that you need to manually setup are device specific settings really. If you have a problem but aren't willing to do troubleshooting then there's nothing anyone can really do.
Alternatively, enable developer settings and verify your settings matches the one I highlighted in red. That may help.
