captivate

Hey everybody, Ok so I got this captivate....rooted using super-one-click...used a file explorer to replace 3e with 2e recovery....and even used odin for a thing or two...successfully flashed cognition...thought I was hot stuff...flashed fasty rom...phone never made it past first boot. Stuck at...

Feeling dumb, but I have successfully rooted and loaded (multiple times) ROMS on my Droid Incredible. Though I can't seem to get ROM manager to load a downloaded (CM7) rom onto my captivate - YES the phone is rooted :). I think i'm missing the bootloader, but i'm unsure. All the phone does is...

Making the story as short as possible: I wanted to install CM7, so I factory-resetted my AT&T Captivate (with Android 2.1), what caused lots of force closes on every process and market wouldn't download anything. Tried to install the most recent version of gapps available on cyanogenmod wiki...

So I don't have the phone, but I am interested, hence I have been following the whole rooting process, etc. Simply put, as the phone has now been rooted, has anybody tried any of the standard Captivate ROMs yet? In particular, anybody try the Captivate ROM for Cyanogenmod on the Captivate...

Hi! I updated my STOCK 2.1 running Captivate to 2.3.5 KJ3 using this link: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 My heartfelt Thanks to IlluminatedOne for the links. Its awesome! And its unlocked by default! Too good! My question is: how do i root my phone now? I had used...

[Q] Does "SIM network unlock PIN" necessarily mean the phone is just locked? Hi all, so here's the story - I bought a used Samsung Vibrant (at&t galaxy s 1), upgraded to 2.2 to get the unlock code, unlocked it. I then tested it with my GiffGaff (o2 UK simcard) and it worked fine. Then I...

when i make or answer a call i cannot hear the other person unless im on speaker, but they can still hear me. also i have no sound through my speaker when i play music or games. Only when i use my headphones i can hear the person im talking to and any media sounds. My phone however still rings...

I called AT&T and tried to get technical support for my phone (Samsung Captivate) regarding the Carrier IQ. The tech support person I was talking to had never heard of it and insisted that I contact Samsung instead. When I insisted that she transfer me to someone in tech support who Had heard...

Thinking about getting a tablet without 3G, since i have a Captivate already. It would be nice to tether it to my Captivate, but I have a couple of questions. Has anyone successfully tethered an Android tablet to a Captivate using the phone as a wireless hotspot? Would AT&T be able to detect...

I installed Swype 3.26.92D.35381.t0 using the Swype Beta Installer onto my Captivate running teamhacksung's ICS Port (Build 3). This works fine. I get a message through Swype Connect that a new version, 3.26.92.36178, is available (announcement on forum here), but the download does not seem to...

I searched around and didn't see any working port for TWRP for the Captivate. As a learning process I would like to take a stab at trying to build it for the captivate. Now I have built CM7 (following directions) and make small changes here and there, but nothing major. Now I want to learn more...

Sorry for the wall of text, but this is all the information that might help. So I bricked my captivate. When starting the phone has a boot screen, then the screen turns black. My phone is one of the unfortunate ones that have 3 button combo disabled, and it will not go into download mode with...

This is probably a stupid question but i'm running a 2.3 rom (serendipity 7) so do i have a gb bootloader?

Hello All, This is my first post! But I have been visitor of this forum for some time now. Its been a great learning experience! OK ...let me come straight to the point.. Important Phone Specs: -Samsung Captivate with stock ATT froyo (UCKB1) -rooted, installed one-click lag fix (other minor...

I just used Odin to flash Darky's 10.2 RE (with plans to flash 10.2.2 and DarkCore 4.1 over it) from the Stock 2.3.5 with Bootloaders and before I did anything else to the phone, I checked to see if the softkeys are acting the way they should. This is because I tried to do it straight from...

I cleared my dalvik cache in an attempt to fix an error with installing an app on the appstore not working and when I rebooted now it's stuck at the Cyanogenmod 7 boot animation. So I tried pulling the battery and then deleting the cache partition and the dalvik cache again and rebooted but it's...

I just installed Dlev 5.0 on Captivate from Eclair its really awesome but on boot right before the galaxy S2 sign it shows what looks like static instead of the Talon animation. and also when i go into recovery mode i can barley make out darkcore kernel instead of cwm recovery. i know im new to...

http://pages.samsung.com/ca/androidupgrade/English/ That link clearly has steps to upgrade to 2.3.3 legit. Someone please clarify...is this for another country? Its 2:01 am and I am waiting for the cooking for Thanksgiving to be over....little delirious.

I am in the process of developing a ROM, and I would like to know what kernel options I have if I am using a 2.3.5 Gingerbread (JVT) based ROM

Anyone know of a source to buy just the motherboard? I hard bricked mine & can't get into download mode, even with the jig. Seems a motherboard would be cheaper that a cracked screen/for parts buy?

Did anyone try running the i9000 ICS Alpha on their Captivate? How well did it run? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338636

Mods please delete this, posted in wrong section

Hello, my cappy is running the latest Nightly build of CM7, and I just installed Glitch Kernel V12. I noticed however, that I have no way of accessing the ClockworkMod recovery menu upon startup with the 3 button combo. I can't remember if I could access it before installing the kernel, but now...

Hey all. Have an AT&T Captivate that came with Gingerbread 2.3.3 on it. After someone 'rooted' it it now has what I am finding out is the I9000 ROM. (if I am not mistaken, that's for UK phones?? I am in the US.) I have no Android marked, my 'Home button' does not work, and I can receive text...

I have searched the forums with every combination of wording I could think of, as well as Google, for an answer to this problem... How do I connect my Captivate to my Win 7 64 PC with Bluetooth? My laptop detects my phone, and vice versa, and I can successfully pair the devices, but after...

I've successfully rooted my phone thanks to SuperOneClick, but am not able to figure out how to flash the recovery so that I can use ROM Manager. I have a stock KB1 image, on an I897 Captivate from AT&T. I'm trying to get the recovery image (currently 3e) set so that I can bypass the signature...

I have been attempting to root my Samsung Captivate stock with 2.3.5 UKJ1. The recovery mode is 3e and not the 2e. Is there a way to root? I have tried manually with no success, also tried the z4 with no success, and also tried the superoneclick 2.1.1 with no success.

I’ve got an AT&T Captivate got stuck in a boot loop running CM7. I re-installed éclair to take advantage of 2e recovery. Rooted it, and intended to put a version of UCKB1 without 3e recovery, so I could install unsigned files to prep for a re-install of CM. Apparently I flashed the wrong one...

OK here's my question... First some background info. I am successfully using a straight talk sim card in my captivate. It is rooted which I did myself. My only issue is that the person in talking to says I sound like I'm talking over static. It's not so bad that people hang up on me but I know...

Problem: Google raised the app maximum size from 30 to 50mb. And samsung made the default cache size 30mb. So apps larger than 30mb will not download. The fix: increase the cache size to 50mb. Flash this through CWM, then check if your /cache is 50mb. All credit to iXNyNe over at this...

When I flash back to stock, of course the new updated market works. At one point I kept the stock and flashed a new kernal after updating to the current 2.2 and still the new market worked. As soon as I flash a custom ROM such as Serendipity, Fasty, Cognition, or another the market all of a...

I'll start by saying that I have done a search through this section (Q&A) and have not found anything related to this, so hopefully this isn't floating around somewhere already. I have read through the thread here which gives instructions and info on how to change your modem and other things...

To the first person to develop ice cream sandwich on the captivate: I'll give 20$ for a proof of concept. I'll give 40$ if it has hardware acceleration, gps, 3g and wifi. Who else will pitch in? I'll try to update this thread to keep track of the total bounty. I think getting this up and...

My fellow Canadians... I have noticed a number of issues with the latest official firmware for the Rogers captivate. I think it would be a good idea to put them all in one place and try to start figuring out what common issues exist and perhaps we can address them all at once. Please state...

Hello all, I have seen reports that because the source code for the captivate has not been fully released, some of the processes cannot be put to sleep when they are not being used, and therefore causes bad battery life. I am just about to flash CM 7.1 and am curious to know how the battery...

I have rooted my phone and installed BusyBox, but Galaxy_S Unlock from the market is not working, and I'm assuming it's because of my recent update to stock Rogers 2.3.3. Is this the case for now, or if not can anyone provide some advice regarding how to go about unlocking this phone (i896)? I...

This is a question for devs who know more about kernels than I do. The Infuse 4G and I9000-based phones like the Captivate all have 512MB of RAM, but the Infuse 4G has a lot more of that memory available to the user and applications. I'm guessing that I9000-based phones reserve more of the RAM...
