Phone not starting after flash.. tried a new version of wm6.. please help

i originally had faria's wm6 on my phone, but then i wanted to try xplore core 2.0. i flashed it, but when it finished it would start. it wouldnt go past the second splash screen. i tried a hard reset using the hard keys, but when i try it, it says format failed. i have tried to reflash using bootloader using the OEM carrier roms from both t-mobile and cingular. i am having the same issue no matter what i do. if there is anything i can do to fix this.. please help me because i constantly use my wizard and i don't no what i can do without it. i really appreciate any input. thanks

im not sure what to do but i figured i'd respond just so you know people are trying to help. I've heard of the format failed problem, but im not sure what the solution was. Good luck!

What device do you have ? A G3 ?

How I fixed my Format failed problem...

I followed these steps with an SD card fresh from the package...
Drug_Store said:
...
2- Get a clean SD card (in qtek 9100 / Htc Wizard case is MiniSD) with 128MB (some people say 64MB, but I personally used a 128MB, maybe a 64MB is enough)
3- Kill (task manager) wescomm.exe (this is related with activesync installed on your PC). Insert the blank SD card on the phone.
4- Get your phone in bootloader mode. Like this : Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter in bootloader mode (RGB screen).
5- Now connect your USB cable to your phone. And start MTTY_updateROM.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/romupdate.rar). After open, on Port selection, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and press OK. A window will open with a blank sheet.
6- Type "r2sd all" and hit enter... wait to the end (at end shows "cmd>"). On your phone screen u can follow backup progress... small bar will appear down the RGB screen.
7- Power off the phone (or remove battery), enter bootloader mode (camera button + power on) and this time RGB won´t appear right away. Will ask if u want to "download SD image", press voice dial button to agree, and writting will begin. Wait to the end. Power off and power on normally. Now your phone should be working ok. Not even needed to reflash the phone after this.
Thanks to all and hope this helps more people with this problem

woah...
Guess I'll post this...
For the record, the Core 2.0 rom ****ED my phone up too. When I tired to flash back a different rom because of all the changed **** in Core 2.0 my phone flipped out. I had to flash it 3 or 4 times to get it to even boot.
I recommend anyone thinking of tyring Core 2.0 to stay away from it unless they don't plan on changing roms after going to it.

yes, i edited it.

I believe operator error isnt something to blame on the rom. Anyone that openly drops the "F" bomb when discussing a cell phone really should get a life.

I won't release any more roms. I am just tired of all this SH**. I stay calm and watch people who only know how to complain and don't give a F*** about all the work that's put up just for free, but this does it. I am giving up.

Really, that's why I put what I did in my thread about saying "My phone is stuck in bootloader..." (remember the fillet knife?) ROM's DO NOT MESS UP A PHONE UNLESS THEY ARE CID LOCKED, THE FLASHING PC HAS ISSUES, OR BECAUSE OF OTHER OPERATOR ERRORS.
Don't let it get you down. You're doing a good work and if one or two people out of a thousand can't get it right, then they need to be running carrier ROMs, and you can stay calm and happy helping those who really need it.
See, that's not so bad now is it?

Boy, I know more about what I'm doing then most people here put together.
Your rom ****ed my phone right in the ass.
Luckily I recovered from it.
You call your Rom "stock" yet YOU CHANGED ALL KINDS OF STUPID STUFF IN IT.
Like the alignment screen graphic?
Why the hell would you do that.
Or putting on 3 different boot screens. wtf?
Oh yeah, not to mention it runs like **** before even loading any more software on it since you used the OLD WM6 build.
Don't release any more.
You're terrible at it.
kthx bye.

Nope, flash went to 100% then the phone tried to reboot and nothing happened.
I do all my flashing on that machine because it's stable and I have never had a problem flashing until the Core 2.0 rom. That is the first and only rom I have had any trouble with.

I do my rom as I please, you can't question that.
For YOU to know all roms have 3 (boot =NOT) splash screens You're just too SMARTass to notice.
You can quote multiple post in same message, in case that slipped your soo full-of-knowledge mind.
I used old WM6 build ? Please explain to me what you mean ...i am not that wize
I did not called my rom STOCK ! I called it Core . But you are probably too smart to actually even read anything.
In case you don't understand the word "CUSTOM", then let me explain it to you : I can change whatever i want in it. All of it if I like to.
Ah yeah, and i almoust forgot ... please read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1241040&postcount=1
It's been there from day 1, just made it bigger now, so that you can see too
And next time, keep your opinions to yourself. No need for public -> "Ooh, look at me how tough I am ! " stunts.
....

whether you like it or not...
I'm confused by people who choose to post cooked ROMs in a public forum, invite people to use and comment, but them complain if the feedback it not all roses and accolades.
You may have done this for free, and many if not most, appreciate your time and effort. That being said, some have legitimate complaints and are posting them because they have experienced problems with your ROM. I’ve been reading your reaction to any negative feedback and you are highly defensive, never conceding that there may be issues to address.
All cooks say that you are not responsible if the ROM bricks someone’s device or if they have problems, and no one has asked for you to pay for their repairs or replace their devices.
There is no place for foul language or insults in such a forum. It's childish and may simply help support the complainant’s point.
If this is your reaction to complaints, then yes do us all a favor and stop posting and keep your work for your personal enjoyment and benefit.
If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen. No pun intended.

Well if it doesn't work for you then try a different ROM. I tried all the ROMs and pretty much gonna stay with Faria The Real Thing
I tried Xplore 1.0 and i had alot of troube so I dont think im gonna try 2.0. If it works dont change

Funny thing is I have flashed this ROM to my wizard 6 times, and each time something else didn't work. But let me explain...
I want a stripped version of windows, I don't do any messaging at all. And since the Explorer ROMS are known for their stability, it seemed a logical choice. So I have been using package tools, to create packages with option.XML files for each package so you can choose, what parts of the OS get installed.
But back to the point...
Each time I flashed something went wrong... Something I did, a "tmail not found warning when activesync starts", to once I got a 260(?) error once when flashing at 63% so I started it while holding the voice command button. It booted into Bootloader, I flashed it to Cingular 2.25.11 and immediately flashed back to the same ROM successfully.
There are hundreds of people Ecstatic with the Xplorer ROMs, for each one of you here complaining. I for one would think it a travesty, for a few unappreciative people to ruin it for hundreds of others. By pissing off one of our cookers. Maybe had you posted your problems here we would have been able to help you.
But please don't be so accusing, just read, and if you can't find an answer. Then ask nicely, and thank the cook for the time he spends cooking for us! If you don't like the answer you get or you decide you don't like this ROM try one of the many others...

Flashing Killed My SIM

I just flashed to ConfusedStu Vista 1.3, everything went well until I got through the customization screen and now my sim has just an exclamation point by it. I took the sim out and put it in my razr and it is reading fine in that. Anybody have any ideas that can help me out. Even though I dont have a lot of posts Im not new to doing this or to the site, Ive been flashing my wizard for 2 years now and my tilt for about the last month and a half. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I also will say I tried to reflash radio 1.65 and that didnt help either.

i usually remove sd and sim before i flash a new rom. What does it say or show on the screen when the sim is inserted? and what does it say on the screen when the sim isn't inserted? If it says the same thing i can't help you.
try a hard reset too.

When the Sim is inserted is says nothing, just has the exclamation point by the signal meter and and x by the data connection. When the sim is not in the phone at all it gives me the no sim inserted emergency call if provider supports it. I tried to reflash the rom with the SIM out and still get the same result??? Kinda Screwy

most likely its the phone that's the problem. because if your sim was fried it wouldn't work in the razr. the razr couldn't be able to recognize the sim card at all if it was fried.

you may need to install another radio that is compatible.

Is this a new or an older SIM? Check the gold contact points on the bottom. I've used a pencil eraser to go over mine and have gotten a SIM that had stopped working ot start working again (back on my Wizard). The local AT&T stores by me (not the Spring ones, but the true AT&T ones) are good about replacing sim cards for free when I've had issues (I had a sim card out one day and my dog got hold of it off the table. Called the local AT&T store and they guy laughed then said bring it down and he'd give me a new one. Waived the $25 charge. My wife has had her sim card replaced for free also in the past from the same store. YMMV).

Tried that one too...lol. I searched and searched, I tried different ROM's with their respective radios and still same results. Looks like Im flashing back to stock and Warranty has another one coming. The funny thing is, it still tells me I have a voice mail and shows my number under the phone screen, which tells me its reading the SIM

Check and see if the phone is turned off. Happened to me a couple of flashes in a row, sometimes you end up with the phone turned off. Just open the comm manager and turn it back on.

Tried this once and it didnt do anything, hard reset, tried searching again, went and grabbed a drink and after about 15 minutes it found network and all is good. Now back to flashing my 6.1 ROM. Ill never learn, but its so fun to have a phone that takes over all me free time on the road.
Thanks to all that helped and had some ideas. Thats why I love this place. Thank you.

the first thing you do after you flash a new rom is hard reset, now I am using the same rom as you are and all you have to do is go into your commmanager and turn flight mode OFF, push the button with the picture of a phone on it, then your phone will customize your connections to your carrier

I have already flashed My tilt with just about every ROM out there just to have fun and see what the differecnces were, WITH NO PROBLEMS. Then I tried to flash it with the new ROM and had the problem. I appreciate you trying to help but how you gonna end with calling me a n00b, when I have more posts than you and have been here a lot longer. But thanks for the help.

ya that was unnecessary. he clearly knew what he was talking about (but maybe didn't explore different avenues before asking). in addition, its not necessarily true that the phone customizes for you.

I flash only via sd card and I have never taken out my sim card and I have never had one glitch at all. In my humble opinion, flashing via sd card is much quicker and safer.

Totally & Utterly Confused!!

I know, I know, there are loads of threads like this but I must be lacking something in the brains department as I've spent the last 6 days (since I got my orange tytn) reading this forum trying to understand how to unlock the thing without turning it into a brick and then to flash a rom and radio.
Everything I read on here has people contradicting other people and I end up not having a clue what to do in the end.
HEELLLLP!!!
To confuse matters even more I thought I'd got it sussed and then read about roms having/not having a CUBE!!!! WTF???? I then gave up and started typing this thread...
Here's what I think......and PLEASE correct me or agree with me....
Firstly I seem to be stumbling at the first hurdle since I have an orange tytn and that it seems is the worse to have for some reason???
I thought I'd start off simply by using the kaiser simunlocker to unlock the phone (by jocky) but then came across something called hardspl with all its variances, so OK lets go with the flow and dismiss the hardspl step for now assuming I can do it and read on...
Assuming I could ever find a program that makes a backup of the rom I've got I'd carry on with the unlocker until I get to the step (step 10) that says download the original radio..............this of course doesn't exist (1.27.14.32) so I look for a proggy that downloads the radio to use at this point. Here's where I come unstuck again.........no proggy!!
At this point I must assume that this may not be possible on the model I've got if I want to be sure I can make it original again.
Could someone please confirm this so I can accept the fact that I have to use what came with the phone and save myself a few hours a night getting nowhere...
Sorry for my rant but I'm frustrated that my old brain can't figure this out and giving up seems to be the only option. I completely understand that I'll get flamed for this since I'm a noobie and asking again what numerous otheres have asked but I accept that...
I have great respect for all you guys that can actually understand this on first reading and especially the people who produce this stuff....
Thanks again folks

Screw what everyone tells you and start with the link above this thread. Actually the second thread on this page. I think I am one of the oldest around here so its not your "old" brain. _Alex_ has gone to great length to get all of the information you need in one place. Start with his sticky. Good luck.

hello, lots of stuff to learn, first thing, which sounds like you did is read, next hard SPL
see the 2nd sticky in the forum,
go down to kaiser wiki, then rom tools wiki, the 3rd choice, hard SPL cid unlock, read carefully and install, once completed, now your phone is ready to flash roms, (for Kaiser) most come with radio or recommend radios to use and not use. if you have problems with hard spl then use the wiki again to troubleshoot and the first 2 stickys
im out

just sell your kaiser and stick to a razor......lol.....j/k....just listen to p1tater...hes right!!

Hey family guy,
A few months back I got an Orange TYTN II just like you. I read for about a week on here untill I felt confident enough in the steps needed to flash a new ROM. First off I Hard SPL and then went for Dutty V3 ROM which was perfect untill I then felt clever enough to flash a new ROM a few weeks later. Due to not sim unlocking correctly the first time around, upon a new radio being flashed to the phone It locked my SIM.. untill I found out the true way to SIM unlock the phone.
Once you have Hard Spl and SIM unlocked you are well away. I know at this point you are probably feeling pretty confused with all this but believe me it is well worth it in the end.
Oh and FYI.... I can confirm that there is an Orange original Rom on here and a few compatible radios should you ever need to revert back to them for some reason as I had to do this myself at one point when trying to work out where I was having issues with something.
All the best
Chris

PMSL....That's where it went, I knew I had left it somewhere. Now where are my damn glasses I can't read a thing.

Unlock your Orange Kaiser
Here's my experience ..
1. Basically HardSPL your Tytn II to facilitate a cooked ROM that can be 'sim unlocked'
2. Install the Cooked Rom
3. Run the Sim unlock generator code
4. Phone is *UNLOCKED !*
5. Install a ROM of your choice
6. Install a Radio of your choice
Here's the stuff I used:
READ ALL THE POSTS - READ ALL THE POSTS !!
** USE WINDOWS XP OS with Activesync!! **
1. HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device
You will know you got it right when it says either 1.0.HardSPL or 1.0.OliPof.
NOTE: I had problems here and had to force it with JumpSPL1.93 because HardSPL would not install.
2+3. I used Jockyw2001 Kaiser Sim Unlocker v0.1
NOTE:
> The file has three steps ... 1, 2 & 3 so you can't go wrong:
> Step 1. Installs the 'patched' Radio
> Step 2. Generates the key code for unlocking (on your PC) which you enter into the Tytn.
> Step 3. Installs a replacement radio
4. My code was a series of numbers that I had to type into the screen.
5+6. Read my signature for what I'm using today (it changes)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All instructions are on screen with prompts.
I sweated for days before I chanced it and it took me about 15 minutes from start to finish but you end up with a pucka HTC looking Tytn II and not the Orange variant.
A few important pointers from the bit I learned:
1. You cannot do this on a WM6.1 Tytn II, you have to go down to WM6.0 - As mine was WM6.0 it didn't matter.
2. Vista is a ***** for doing this and you have enough things to think about without the PC's OS .. USE XP !!
3. HardSPL once done, the Tytn II is clear for all future ROM + Radio upgrades.
4. Bootloader = Power button + Camera button + Reset with stylus
5. Hard reset is Left softkey + Right softkey + Reset with stylus
6. Always Hard reset after blowing any new ROM before using.
7. Backup all your contacts etc. to your SD card with PIM Backup 2.8 before you do anything.
8. Remove the SD card before you begin.
9. The 'Cube' isn't always included in the ROM's - I use this CUBE
10. Most Roms come with their own 'loader' called 'Kaiser_RUU' so you don't have too much to think about.
11. Stick your Radio and ROM information in your signature, you never know when you may want to go back and forget what you had installed ;-)
12. Installing a new radio on a phone that isn't SIM Unlocked will result in a LOCKED TO ALL NETWORKS phone - So SIM Unlock it !!
Enjoy
PS. Let me know if you can't find the files you need.
SIM Unlocker Software HERE
PPS. Before you unlock your Orange can you pop over to this thread and answer Rabdo's question - Thanks.

Hey I have a question about this point - I've never SIM unlocked my phone and have flashed about 6 ROMS, and various radios and never had a problem. All I did was run hardSpl, then started flashing.
So what I'm asking is are you sure of this point?

Mods Please Close
This is a useless thread. Mods please close this thread.

Screw what everyone tells you and start with the link above this thread. Actually the second thread on this page.

I have heard before that Orange Kaiser's are a little different to other networks and need to be SIM-unlocked before they can use a different network.

Ok thanks, that would make sense then.

Hi all and thanks for your comments advice and encouragement..........just quickly looking at the old age thread I am one of the oldest at 47!!
The thing about this thread is that it's happened again and there are only 13 posts!!
There's been contradiction about the orange tytn above. Some peeps say it needs to be unlocked (and that they've done it but don't mention what radio they're using), and some peeps say it doesn't need to be unlocked!?!?!?
There is my confusion and my hesitation to do anything in case I lock the sim out completely. That I can't have as I need the phone at all times to get in toch with my kids (humans or small goats depending on what your state of mind is!).
Here is what I think I should do...
1.) Use hardspl to unlock something (not sure what at the mo) so that I am able to flash
2.) Unlock the SIM lock using kaiser sim unlocker (or not! jury is out, but not sure which radio to use so scared of brickifying it)
3.) Flash my choice of rom (but not sure if I have to then flash a radio or if the radio is included in the rom)
That's about all my poor tired OLD.......VERY OLD brains can figure out and there are enough 'I don't knows' there to stop me in my tracks...
I'll keep reading though but in the meantime I could do with gleaning info from someone who is in the UK on orange and maybe has a recent model...

I'll be 48 in August, so it's not just the Youngsters who play with the 'phones.
(Does that make me the oldest ?)
I bought the TytnII from the Orange Shop in Leicester just before Christmas but didn't have the bottle to unlock it for months ... Main reason was the unlocking 4 months ago was £20 !! and i didn't want to brick it either.
I spotted someone selling the unlocking service on ebay about a month ago, so I knew someone had cracked it here (and some cheapskate was selling the service.)
Feel free to private message me, if you need to we can talk it through over the phone.
Alan.

I may have added to the confusion - I do not have an Orange phone, adn was questioning whether you need to SIM unlock the phone b/c I hadn't. Later it was pointed out that Orange phones may be different and need to be.

Greetings to all...........and a damn good weekend to everyone!!
mattarse you simply added to the confusion in my mind............for other it was probably very clear
ajs007, I will PM you and perhaps a quick chat to get me up and running would be great!
One thing I do know though..........when (yes, I've gone from if to when) I get more knowledable about this I'll be one of the first peeps there to help anyone out if I can!

After a long chat with ajs007 (for which I am very grateful) I felt I had the confidence to go ahead and install hardspl using the jumpspl route.
My tale of woe follows as it was unsuccessful every time...
I followed jockys instructions,
1a. download the 5 attached files
1b. connect your PC to phone with a USB cable
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe
4. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the phone display
5. unplug and replug the usb cable
6. deselect "Allow USB connections" in Activesync connection settings
7. now flash hardSPL (run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from flash-hardSPL.zip on your PC)
After step 3 (for both 1.56 & 1.93) I get the tri-colour screen (not mentioned above) shortly followed by 'USB' on the white at the bottom (step 4).
(I guess this makes it a quad colour screen instead of
I then did step 5 and step 6 as above and moved on to step 7 to run kaisercustomruu.exe.
I then get a screen which says verifying phone settings and a further screen which has 'current info about your pda phone:' and lists nothing!!
Another line that says 'image version:' and has nothing listed and yet another line that says 'select from below:' and has nothing next to it!?!?!?!?
There is a button that says update the current ROM version but I dare not press it if it is going to update with nothing!!!??
On top of all that I read contradiction again where the instructions above state that you must deselect 'allow usb connections' yet when you run kaisercustomruu.exe it states that you must have an activesync connection....
I'm now really confused and convinced it just isn't to be. Sorry Alan it did sound so easy when you explained it but there must be something different about my phone.........I'm going to throw myself or the phone or both of us off a tall building.............now Im totally depressed
Exit stage left feeling very sorry for oneself...

Looks like everything was A.O.K. for flashing..
IMPORTANT ** You didn't say if you had SPL xxx PoF on the Tri Screen ?
I didn't have any reference to a ROM on the install screen but it worked, probably because the ROM was in the same directory and it didn't need to look anywhere ....
I think (but I'm not 100%) the activesync USB connection is an XP v. Vista thing, and you do need USB connection in XP.
In summary, if you did have SPL xxx PoF on the Tri Screen you should be good to go.

From totally & utterly confused to successfully running Dutty's 6.1!!
Lots of bonus points and many thanks to AJS007 for allowing me to bother him with all my questions and lack of confidence.
Here's my tale...
Firstly I tried to install hardspl running from my PC and a USB cable but I got the infamous white screen!
I then followed the instructions for using jumpspl version 1.53 (for some reason the instructions I read didn't say remove and re-inset battery therefore I didn't do that bit!).
I got to the bit where 'USB' appears on the screen and pulled out the cable then re-inserted it. I have no idea why you do this but I did it. When I pulled the cable out the screen had 'Serial' on it and when I re-inserted it, it went back to 'USB'
I carried on to the next step and unchecked the 'Allow USB Connections' in Activesync (again I have no idea why you do this) and went on to run 'kaisercustomruu.exe'
Here's where I hesitated and got stuck. The program started on the PC and got to a point where it interrogated the phone, shortly after that I was presented with another screen that waited for my input ready to 'Update' but I hesitated since there was no information listed under 'Image Version:' and 'Select from below:'.
I wasn't sure what to do here and cancelled the whole thing in case I bricked it
After further investigation, more reading and speaking once again to my mentor AJS007, I decided to go ahead and throw what caution I had left to the wind, so I pressed the 'Update' button.
After a few more screens I got to the point of no return and gritted my teeth.........nothing happened........I disconnected and re-connected and tried again..........nothing again............after a third time though (and I don't know why) it burst into life and I got the 'percentage screen'.
At this point I did think I had trashed it but plodded on regardless in the hope that I hadn't and everything would be OK. Thankfully it was and on entering the bootloader screen I saw 'olipof'..............all was well
This gave me the extra bit of confidence I needed to go through the unlock procedure and then on to flash Dutty's latest. I did get to the point where I had to enter the unlock code and it took 2 attempts to accept it for some reason........I can't explain that either!!
It was all in all a stressful time and involved a lot of pacing up and down when the ROM was flashing, taking what seemed to be hours to complete and slowing down to an almost stop at certain points, but in the end it did all work and I am now left with a transformed T2, but with the following little problems,
1.) My bluetooth headset has to be paired every time I want to use it!
2.) When I go to re-calibrate the screen (with the cross hair) it freezes up and I have to do a soft reset.
3.) My screen 'tap' noises have disappeared (except when I press the 'start' button)
I haven't tried to reflash the radio to see if that will take care of the bluetooth issue yet but I intend to do so in the next few days.
For anyone that's interested I'm using the radio ROM that was included in Dutty's latest build (WM6.1_5.2.19209) which is 1.58.16.27.
Finally, once again my thanks to AJS007 who went to the trouble of helping me in my few hours of need.
If anyone new here would like to ask me any questions about my noobie experience please don't hold back!!

Encryption Unsuccessful - Fixed

Hello,
Due to the 10 post threshold I am unable to post in the "Samsung Captivate -
Captivate Android Development
[Guide] Encryption Unsuccessful - Reset Android [ICS Issue]" thread.
I have resolved this issue a couple months back.
So, due to the time that has gone by it is a little difficult to explain what I did.
Last night I reproduced the issue, but after a restore, I'm good as new.
So now I am compelled to post this here. Being a "noob" and like I said not able to completely remember what "exactly" was done to accomplish the fix.
I am willing to share any information you wish.
But in a nutshell, I flashed ( a ROM I can't remember at the moment, but I'm sure I will once I get down to it. at work and pressed for time, "lunch time" ) using Heimdall, then downloaded the rom "Imfinitum-blue-v1.1.0 to my external SD, ( using a 34 Gb SD card, seems that is the only card that I could use. From what I remember anyway. ) Mod version "aokp_galaxysmtd_milestone-4"
The kernel version currently being utilized on this device is "[email protected] #1.
Sorry for being so confusing, and vague, but I really wanted to get something out there. I see they are still working on a fix for this issue, I found this resolve before page 30, it's now at 57, and after recreating the issue and then resolving it after a restore.
So, ask any question you want and I will be happy to help.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

By "fixed" do you mean:
a) You have restored access to your INTERNAL sdcard?
b) You have used the emmc/sdcard swap method to use your external as the internal? (ie. your internal sdcard is still not useable)
It would help if you could mention whether your internal card is back in play. And esp. if you were able to access the data that was on there - ie. before you experienced the EU issue.
Or did using Heimdall wipe the internal sdcard - ie. yet you're now able to use the internal though?

Hello,
Because this would save a lot of people's phones including mine, would be great if you post your steps so we can follow.

Take this with a grain of salt guys.
There is very little information in his post, which is his very first post. There is also no information about the process he used. I'm not sure what a 34gb SD card is. I believe the methods he alludes to have been tried by other members with no resolution.
I have a feeling he had a different issue or is just trying to get attention.
For all our sakes I hope I'm just rushing to judgement.

I guess what we want to know is, what have you done?
Say you just got the Enc Unsuccessful screen, turned off the phone and then what?

He's to shy to give anymore details.

I just duplicated the issue again, "no sdcard found"..etc... then using did a restore ("Semaphore CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4" by the way) restored the Captivate right back. After it boots I get "prepairing sdcard" then everything is back to normal.
Answer to "a." Yes, full access to both External and Internal drives. Also can mount and unmount all /system, /cache, /datadata, /sdcard, /data, /emmc.
Answer to "b." Sorry, can you elaborate on this. I'm just now sure what you mean by "swap"
You said: "It would help if you could mention whether your internal card is back in play. And esp. if you were able to access the data that was on there - ie. before you experienced the EU issue."
Now here it's difficult to say, I formatted and haphazardly (sorry, dumb I know!) flashed so many times attempting to get back control of this thing, I don't know. Google will restore my apps like before but I disabled this function. However it will detect application updates same 5 updated every time I restore it.
You said: "Or did using Heimdall wipe the internal sdcard - ie. yet you're now able to use the internal though?"
Damn!, I'm just not sure, I'm really sorry but I wish I would have THOUGHT of posting HERE before YESTERDAY!...
Now is there a log file I can send out? So people can see whats going on inside this thing. Like I said so much time has gone by, and once I was able to get the camera working and transfer apps to the external card, and all that I basically went numb and stopped messing around. And I would like to point out, that
"Encryption Unsuccessful" crap ( and knowing better, I DID press Restart by the way) started just a couple days before this thread started. So just to give you an example as to how long this frustration was. I became obsessed, I worked on this phone for most all my waking hours, and I'm sure some of you have, "dreamed" of possible fixes as well!.
If it wasn't for the 10 post threshold I could have been more help. I read every single post in this thread up to the point where I fixed the problem.
Had it all in my head at the time but when I found I couldn't post with-in the >>Encryption Unsuccessful<< thread?! I wasn't sure why.
I even started a separate identity ( Barney Fyfe ) thinking that would allow me to post something.
And from what I read at the time, I thought, rather understood it to mean that I was locked out by some Admin here... Or ?!
Sorry, really, I did not realize I had to get 10 or more posts >>here<<
You know I'm sure I can get details on pretty much exactly what I did. Right now I'm at work, so I'll need a little more time.

Read my first reply.
I did so much to find a resolve, none of the suggestions I tried in the "Encryption Unsuccessful" thread worked at all by the way. didn't attempt EVERY suggestion, but a lot of them.
I'm going to attempt to get the horrifying memories back!

Oh, now here is an odd change in event, not sure if this is related or not but I just realized last night that the phone won't charge, using three different batteries, all fairly new, nor is it being recognized USB wise.
I have a couple other Captivates I'm now having to use to charge my batteries for this one.
It's like the micro usb is damaged?
I'm usually very careful on how I insert them, 4 different cables too. That all work with the other Captivate. It's bricked but does charge the battery.
It's a GT-19000.
Oh and I almost forgot!!
The Samsung Galaxy S SGH-897/Captivate I'm using is fairly new, the date code is " 1111 "

but dude, you gave us nothing.

please as another noob could you post exact details of your discovery? like what you did to get the inscription unsuccesful to come up repeatably,and what did you do get your phone to access the internal memory? an what exactly did you flash to get it all to work

You brought up a fix to an issue that is getting very high attention right now. You were not able to tell people how to recreate the fix. People are looking for a scientific method (think repeatable steps) to fix this issue that is affecting quite a few people.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I've been watching the Encryption Unsuccessful thread for a very long time. I was stating only what I observed. There have been others who had suggested a similar fix, but it has not been repeatable.
You are a talented artist and obviously have alot going on. I hope for others' sake you can give them some steps to follow. If so, you may just be the "chosen one"

First of all, I'll commend you for sharing a positive outcome despite experiencing this dreaded issue. However, this is something being dicussed at the DEV thread level, which assumes a deeper level of detail than the average General or Q&A topic.
Serious people are giving serious consideration to the matter. Example, Woodrube is a well respected Vibrant / Transformer / Nook user, and he's invested a lot of time collaborating with Captivate users to pool our resources and build our knowledgebase here.
Whether you continue your participation is up to you. Hopefully your method will be a viable part of the discussion.

Regardless how anxious we get, life always comes first. Take care of business. Just keep in mind that a lot of XDA veterans are putting their minds to this issue, and more details will help isolate the cause & effect. In general, details on your ROM, kernel, and any specifics would be helpful.
Barney Fyfe said:
I just duplicated the issue again, "no sdcard found"..etc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By saying "duplicated the issue", we're all going to assume you encountered the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen again. Do you recall any specific steps you took to "duplicate" this issue? Since you were able to duplicate it several times, people troubleshooting the issue will benefit to know how you induced the matter. The goal is to discover what actually triggers this. Then, we'll get closer to finding a resolution.
Were you using the phone at the time - ie. the EU randomly appeared? Did it just reboot on its own and result in a dimmed boot animation screen? After you hit "reset," did you simply go into recovery and perform a NANDROID restore? Was there anything specific you did after getting the EU screen? Battery pull, reboot into recovery, flash other roms or kernels, etc? Did you previously connect it to your PC using MTP?
Barney Fyfe said:
... then using did a restore ("Semaphore CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4" by the way) restored the Captivate right back. After it boots I get "prepairing sdcard" then everything is back to normal.
Yes, full access to both External and Internal drives. Also can mount and unmount all /system, /cache, /datadata, /sdcard, /data, /emmc.

It seems you "resolved" your issue by simply doing a NANDROID restore via recovery. Was it really that simple? Or was there anything else (other roms or kernels flashed) prior to doing the restore.
If this is the case, then your experience starkly contrasts what most others have experienced - ie. no longer having access to the internal sdcard even in recovery (so a saved NANDROID backup wouldn't be accessible, etc).
Barney Fyfe said:
Answer to "b." Sorry, can you elaborate on this. I'm just now sure what you mean by "swap"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The "swap" is the work around being used to swap emmc & sdcard in vold.fstab - ie. to then have the phone recognize the external sdcard as the internal (since the internal sdcard is no longer accessible for 99.9% of the others with this issue).

Everyone who's gone through this has experienced that same level of dread and anxiety. We can all relate.

Thanks for the nod my friend and I am still on the case but as you say life comes first.

Dude, if want to help people you must understand that in order to do this you need to explain "exactly" what it is you are talking about. No one can trust your information based on your "belief" in it. Software is a very techinical thing, which means to explain it you need to speak in technical terms. If you cant do that, do some more reading. Otherwise you arent helping anyone but yourself....Thanks, but NoThanks.

[Q] Unkniwn issue rooting HTC Aria

Hi guys, I'm having a problem rooting an HTC Aria that I recently acquired, and I'm not sure how to search for my answer. I guess Ill try to explain what happen as best as I know, since some things happened so fast I have no idea exactly what happened. Its also worth mentioning that I have no experience rooting android phones, but I'm not an idiot, so please don't be afraid to help because you think Im gonna be waste of your time.
I used the tool unRevoked with Reflash to inflict the damage. Things seemed to be going great, in fact at one point it even said this was a triumph. Somewhere towards the very end, it looked as if it complained about not finding a file on the sd. It was so fast I couldn't read it because I was looking at the computer at that time. Im not surprised it didn't find the file it was looking for since I had no sd card installed. The tutorial/procedure that I read was very detailed, so detailed that he sometimes took a minute to make sure the reader knew to double click the file to open it, yet there was no mention of absolutely needing an sd card for it to work.
Now when I re-run reflash, when I get to the point where you have to choose HBoot USB, it wont ever let me pick it. It just forces me to pick Fastboot or one of the other ones, spits out several lines of green text that is way too fast to read, then gives you the option to pick HBoot again. It never leaves this menu now, not by way of reflash anyway. I can still unplug and reboot my phone , and operate it like normal, but reflash wont go past that recovery menu. I did a factory reset, that didn't help. I also picked recovery on that menu. I browsed the options, but Im afraid to make another move at this point without some input. If someone could please maybe tell me what happened and how to proceed I would be very grateful.
Thank you
