if three button was working it should not of changed as the cm7 intitial does not touch your boot loaders.

did you make sure to click off auto boot when flashing the kernel? then after odin flash while still in dl mode three button to recovery?

please, list exactly what you are doing to get into recovery and download mode. Aslo did you flash the gb boot loaders to use another gb rom in the past?

well i started with stock att 2.1

then following instructions i flashed the speedmod kernel using odin and flashed into CWR - i flashed the efs file and then back into download mode

I flashed the initial kernel and made sure everything is unchecked

now i tried to get into the CWR with the initial kernel and it just shows the boots screen or when i try the 3 button combo the att logo then the CM galaxy s logo shows up but nothing happens

I try adb and nothing responds

It worked fine after the speedmod kernel but after the initial kernel it broke :*(

So to fix this mms viewing problem, do I need to get a mms theme or something?

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.

so i followed the directions from stock....


not sure what i did wrong

- it just seems like the kernel does not work for some reason and the recovery uses the kernel in these phones - and whenever i try the download mode button combo it just turns on as normal :(

think i might need a jig

yes my phone turns on but does not respond to adb or start into recovery / download

edit : it simply shows the att logo and/or the galaxy s/ cyanogen mod logo

So if your phone won't come on completely that scratches out the 3 button fix. What button combo are you using to get into download mode.

I'm confused. When just pressing the power button will your phone boot up regularly?

Do you have Odin open while trying to enter download

Please tell me how you are going into recovery

    [F.A.Q.
    Please read before posting any questions!
    The latinime and gallery3dold apk's are attached at the bottom of this post

    Q: I can't can't make phone calls and/or send messages?
    A: Make sure your IMEI is correct. To check your IMEI, go into your dialer and type in *#06#. If it's not correct, go back to stock, flash RC2, and then flash the latest version.

    Q: How to flash a newer version of MIUI over an old one
    A: Format system, data and cache and install the newer zip. If you do not want to lose data then do not format "data", but if the rom is buggy then do a factory reset and reboot.

    Q: How do I install this if I'm coming from CM7?
    A: Format data, system, and cache. Flash the MIUI.zip and then do a wipe data/factory reset. Reboot. If you are not flashing Segnaro's package, you will need to flash a CM7 kernel and modem.

    Q: I applied a theme, but it didn't change everything?
    A: The MIUI Dev's have been changing the theme system recently so themes that have not been updated will not work or will not theme everything. Once the beta gets close to being finished, more themes will created and updated.

    Q: Why is the auto-rotation reversed?
    A: *If you don't know know how to do most of these things, you should not do it, or ask for more help other wise you might send your phone into a bootloop.

    If you download the i9000 package instead of a captivate package, the auto-rotation will be incorrect. To fix this, you need to grab these files from the CM7 rom:
    lib/libsensorservice.so
    lib/hw/sensors.aries.so
    lib/hw/sensors.goldfish.so

    After you copy those files to your sd card, download Root Explorer or another file managing app. Go to where those files are located on your sd card, and copy each one-by-one and paste them in the correct spot. You will need to be in R/W mode for this to work. After you paste it and overwrite the previous one, you need to change the permissions for each one to this:
    User: X-X-0
    Group: X-0-0
    Others: X-0-0
    X = checkmarks 0 = unchecked


    Reboot the phone and auto-rotion should now be correct.

    Q: The battery doesn't fully charge?
    A: This is a Samsung feature to keep the battery healthy. Once it reaches around 96%, it's charged and you can uplug your phone.


    Q: My wifi doesn't work?
    A: Reflash the kernel. If that doesn't work, you may need to reflash the rom.

    Q: My statusbar icons turn either gray and green?
    A: This is a feature of Android 2.3. Gray means you have a signal/data and green means you have a signal/data and are connected to the google servers.

    Q: The notification menu is in Chinese!
    A: A simple reboot should resolve the issue.

    Q. Why can't this be flashed with one CMW zip?
    A. This rom is a port from the nexus s version. It is built on CM7 in order to correctly partition the device. The initial kernel flash via Odin can not be replicated via clockwork.

    Q: When I get a call or call someone, my screen turns black!
    A: Hit the power button a couple of times until the screen turns back on. If that does not work or it keeps happening, go to Settings, Call Settings, turn off proximity sensor and when holding phone up to face make sure you turn screen off using power.


    Q. I have no data what should I do?
    A. Toggle screen off and on a couple times.

    Q: I can't download anything from the browser/market/etc.?
    A: Try these options in order:
    - Go into the 'Downloads' app on your phone, hit the menu button, and select, "Download using Mobile network." Reboot.
    - Go into Recovery, wipe data/factory reset.

    Q. I am using a kernel that allows for under volting, but I can't get the sliders to move in voltage app.
    A. Known issue, with persistence they will move.

    Q. How can I go back to 2.2 Roms?
    A. Odin flash stock with repartition. One click will do, provided you can use it on your device.

    Q. Can I use the camera from my favorite 2.2 rom?
    A. No, there is no twframework because this is not a Samsung rom. Nothing Samsung will work.

    Q. Can I use a Samsung App from my favorite 2.2 rom?
    A. No, there is no twframework because this is not a Samsung rom. Nothing Samsung will work.

    Q. Why is battery life so bad?
    A. Known issue for this and CM7. Currently it is not fully optimized for our device.

    Q: Can I use a different kernel?
    A: Yes, you can use any Captivate CM7 kernel.

    Q. I tried to toggle 2g and now I have no signal.
    A. 3g/2g toggle works but you must disable data first. To get data back go to recovery wipe cache and davlik cache. Reboot. If that does not work try a modem flash or reflash rom.

    Q: I installed swype, but it doesn't seem to work?
    A: Download the Swype Installer from here. Follow the instructions all the way until the end until you get to the end. Reboot the phone and swype will now work. If you already tried to install swype, please clear the data on swype and swype installer and then uninstall both. Then try the fix.

    Q: Why am I getting duplicate contacts after installing this Rom?
    A: Log into your Google account online. Go into your account settings, view data stored with this account. Manage contacts, click the got duplicates button.


    Q: Every time I flash MIUI, I reboot into CWM.
    A: Go into Mounts and Storage
    - Format System
    - Format Cache
    - Format Data

    Q: Why can’t I make calls or connect to the mobile network?
    A: Check to make sure your IMEI is correct. If not correct, flash RC2 then the version you were previously trying to install.

    Q: After flashing the newest rom, my keyboard does not auto correct anymore.
    A: Download the LatinIME.apk from the bottom of this post. Using Root Explorer move the LatinIME.apk into system/apps and change permissions to RW-W-W

    X X O

    X O O

    X O O

    Q: Why is my camera showing black?
    A: While in the camera application, toggle your screen on and off.

    Q: My 3d graphics aren’t as good as they were on previous versions.
    A: They have been fixed in the newest update.

    Well, I'm from the i9000 forum. Allow me to say a few words. :)

    I think we all agree that we want the best out of the phone, regardless of what brand, model and type. Everyone buys their phone based on their needs, perhaps not a 100% fit, but nevertheless as close as possible. Everyone has a set of their own requirements, and this is where the developers come into play, teamhacksung especially, when they have completely re-written the whole rom from scratch, and of course the MIUI-Developers who has designed the ui based on user experience.

    This rom is free to use, and it is up to the users to decide if this rom is suitable for them enough to become their daily drivers. If users wants a fantastic camera application that rivals the current Samsung one, then this rom is not for you. If users wants the widest range of codecs like the Samsung one, then again this rom is not for you as well. To me, I will never compare the features of this rom with the Samsung based rom, because both roms are totally different in nature. You win some, you lose some.

    For those who have tried to use this rom, and found some bugs or problems, you are encouraged to highlight them. Whether they can be solved is another matter because users may not have encountered those problems before and hence unable to offer any solution. And even when solutions were offered, it is not always that the issues will be resolved at all. There is no need to get upset or angry. Alternatively, you can always try to resolve them on your own, and if you managed to do that, share it wth the fellow users here, so that they can learn from your experiences. And if you have exhausted all means of trying to resolve them, and up to a point whereby you simply cannot live with those issues present, one can always flash back to another rom where it will give you the lesser of 2 devils. :)

    Problems, issues and bugs will always be there, and some of those may never be able to solve at all. Can we live with those issues? The answers lies not with the developers and the fellow users, but it lies within yourself.

    I only hope everyone continue to share what they have learned, so that the rom can keep on improving.

    Now start enjoying your phone instead of getting frustrated with it. :)

    My 2cents worth of thoughts.

    P/S: And I think Mossination is cool! :D
