The Android Market is no longer installed on my Captivate. I have been running Cognition 2.6.32.9 for a while now and decided I needed to upgrade to 4.2.3, so I started doing that following a guide I found that said I needed to disable the lagfix. Once the phone started back up after I disabled the lagfix it seemed to be at default rom settings. It changed the background back to the cognition background, none of my apps were on the home page, etc etc. Another thing I noticed is that I can't find the market anywhere on the phone. I need to install clockwork so that I can install the new version of Cognition. How do I go about doing this?

You can get the market app on their website.
As for cwm, it's usually implamented in custom ROM? Try to reboot in recovery and if you get the green text (cwm 2.5) -> You have it already!
When I go to the market in the browser it says that Rom Manager is already installed, but I can't find it anywhere in the app drawer.

Are you on a custom ROM already? (Cognition I believe you said?) If it's the case, go in recovery using the extended power menu. You don't need Rom Manager to do it for you.
Also, you can re-download Rom Manager even if it says it's installed.
I tried to redownload Rom Manager in the brower. It didn't do anything though. When I went into recovery I was given the option to reboot, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data, and format the internal sd card. I tried to reinstall packages but that didn't seem to do anything. Another thing I noticed is that when I try to connect the phone to my computer the phone doesn't seem to realize it is connected. I don't get the option to turn on the usb connection.
edit: Well now I seem to have bigger problems. I managed to get into recovery and reinstall cognition 2.6, then I got the zip for 4.3 onto the phone. Then I went back into recovery to install that, started installing and then I got an error, and it stopped installing. I tried to install it again, same thing. So I just gave up and went to reboot and now it is stuck at the at&t screen. I can get the screen to turn black for a few seconds by holding the power and volume buttons, but then it goes back to the at&t screen.

Ok you need to give more info on that error.. Were you on 2.2 froyo? If so, you'll need this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052991
Now for your actual problem.. You'll need to get in download mode:
Unplug usb;
Remove battery;
Hold volume buttons; (don't release no matter what)
Plug the usb;
Put the battery back in.
You might need to try a few times for it to work.
After that, you'll need Odin3 one click downloader (and only that one) to get back to stock.
From there, you'll be able to recover.
I figured it out now. Thanks for the help. I'm on Cognition 4.3 now and it's working perfectly.
just some info for anyone that reads:
sometimes after flashing a custom rom, the market thinks its a new phone, and will show your "purchases" of all your "phones" sometimes you must push install to your "new phone"
also sometimes you need to reboot for the push to go to your phone, or wait about 5 minutes.
but you got it glad to hear!

Np! Glad you got your phone back the way you like it
i im on the same rom but an old version. if i were to upgrade or transfer to a different rom i would have to disable lag fix? correct? or could i just odin it and flash it?
Hello there,
I've just got a Nexus S which has ICS installed. I must say I've used Android before but am no expert, especially when it comes to the whole ROM scene. While I am a very technical user, from my online research I haven't yet been able to figure out how to best go about the downgrade to 2.3.6.
My concern being that this is not stock anymore and I would not want to brick it by treating it as stock and simply following the standard downgrade or ROM flash directions.
I am attaching a screenshot for everyone to see exactly what I've got on the device.
Any help with this would be immensely appreciated!
Cheers.
Since you said you're a technical user I assume you know how to use fastboot and stuffs. To downgrade to GingerBread, you only need to install a custom recovery (ClockWorkMod) for your phone model and flash a full OTA package. I guess that's all
Well if the phone already has ICS installed, I'm pretty sure it also has Clockworkmod Recovery(aka. CWM or CWR).
Try this:
Turn off your phone.
Turn it on by HOLDING DOWN the power button AND the volume up button. After 2-3 sec. you should see a menu. Scroll down 2 clicks with the volume down button, you should land on 'Recovery '. Press the power button to enter CWR. (Clockworkmod Recovery)
If this procedure takes you to another menu, then you have a functioning CWR. And if so, I would recommend trying one or more of the fine roms in this forum under 'Android Development'. Many of these roms have a lot of features and fixes that you would miss once you've had them.
Try it out, and happy flashing.
PS. To flash most roms, download the rom on your mobile. (it's a zip-file) and go to CWR. Choose 'wipe data/factory reset' and then go to 'advanced' and there you should choose 'wipe dalvik cache'. Go back, choose 'install zip from sdcard' and then 'choose zip from sdcard'. Locate the rom you downloaded and choose it. This will flash the rom. Go back and choose 'reboot system now'. The first boot on any rom will allways take longer than usual. Usually about 2min. Enjoy! ;-)

Not necesarilly, CWM not always remains flashed and have to reflash repeatedly. Try what was recommended here, if not, download Rom manager and reflash.
That worked. Turns out I already had everything I needed to install from an archive.
So I downloaded the official 2.3.6 full ROM and got it installed.
The problem I am facing now is that as soon as the phone boots up, I get a sequence of errors, the first one being "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
This gives me a "Force close" button, and that's about it. Then there are subsequent errors for android.process.acore, com.android.providers.calendar and then it just sort of loops back and forth between those.
Unfortunately the problem here being that I cannot tap the Android to get started or anything like that. It looks like I am pretty much stuck.
swaipa, I followed your instructions and everything worked seamlessly.
Any clue as to why I am getting all of these issues now?
Edit: nevermind, I just did the same thing again and it seems to be working well!
Kudos my friend, you're on to a life of flashing.. ;-)

I able to downgrade from 4.0.3 to 2.3.6
Here is what I did...

hey
http://en.miui.com/a-1.html try this steps and it will work.
At "Downloading flashing tools and ROM pack" instead of ther rom, you should download the official OTA for your model from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664.
good luck...
i have a i9023 a put first 2.3.3 and i make de update to 2.3.6.
good luck!
just a question please :
What does "install unlocked boot" or "fast boot" mean , Will it unroot the device ? and after that , If I will install a stock 2.3.6 ROM , will I return 100% factory (including the stock recovery) ?
i`ve check my recovery and it is stock like i had before.
after you finish downgrade LOCK the device using UNLOCK start bat and write LOCK instead of UNLOCK.

im also getting this same issue from installing GB via odin.
cant work out how to fix it.
i dont fully understand swipa's instructions there
Hi Everyone.
Im a real noob so please take it easy on me.
So today i decided I wanted to root my Asus Transformer TF101 - B70
I used "viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5" according to a post on this forum and had no hassles what so ever. The link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427125
I proceeded to download root apps and everything worked fine.
After reading - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518768
I decided it was time to root my device.
I downloaded Revolver IC400 Beta 1.3 and "RecoveryInstaller" also found on this forum. I placed both of these files on my micro sd card.
I then installed recoveryInstaller and the device booted in recovery. When i selected "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose a zip from sdcard" the device does not seem to find the sd card and only shows data on the device.
So i clicked "go back" and then "reboot system now".
But now everytime my device boots it goes to the recovery screen.
If i hold the power button and volume down when the device is booting, then when the text appears press nothing, then it boots. But the next time it just boots to recovery again..
I have searched the forum and see others have this issue but cannot find useful information.
Please help me out of this loop and i would really like to install revolver rom. Can anyone tell me what to do to install it or what i have done wrong?
Thank you in advance!
Are you sure you installed CWM recovery by RecoveryInstaller or did you install it via Rom Manager?

Use either Roach's 3.2.0.1 or Team Rouge recovery for external sd card
both can be found here in a RecoveryInstaller form
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22359727&postcount=218
Thank you for the reply and all assistance.
I installed Team Rogue's recovery and started the installation from sd. It went perfectly and even said "Done". i proceeded to reboot my device but it still has stock rom. As if the installation was not successful at all.. Why could this be?
All I can suggest is try again. When it boot up, do you see a blue progress bar?
Yes there was a progress bar briefly but that was it. Then it did some short update and booted. Exactly the same and stock and revolver parts confirms that it is not revolver rom. Im so bummed
Try a different custom ROM to see if it work
I tried again and still nothing. The links on Gnufabio's older posts dont work. Where can i find an older version of revolver to try that?
Thanks
Im now trying "Download version 3.11 full" from this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173230&highlight=wallpaper
As this seems to be the only download still working. I can find any working downloads of any other versions.
Thank you for your time in replying, as you may see I'm new and cant post in the developer area where all this discussion is going on.
Did you do a full wipe? Factory reset, wipe cache and then wipe Dalvik? A must do procedure before a ROM change. And dont forget to backup before all , just in case.
ok so that didnt work... It gets stuck at the blue android loading screen.....
and i cant recover either as it now does not find any of my recovery files.........
HELP!! please...

Hi, yes i did do all of the above... Im out of ideas. DOnt know what else to do..
Think i should just try load stock os and stick with that
I have the same problem now, im on AOKP 1.5
Then i updated my CWM with Rom manager (thinking it might be a new version or something)
And now constant CWM loops.
I will try to reflash CWM.
Btw. is the touch CWM working on the asus transformer?

Very odd....... Revolver should work once you have a previous version. You probably did wipe data/and factory reset. ??
EDIT: What is you tablet version BXX?

Revolver 4 still refuses to work. Have tried many times.
My tablet is B70.
So now that my tablet is rooted and has custom roms on it. Does any1 know of any kernels, apps or anything that can help me set the "Login" details to a wifi connection.
Basically to connect to my university wifi you have to use your username and password. If you go through the browser there is a pop up, and then you can browse fine. But none of the apps work. Ipad 2 , playbook and many other tablets allow you to add the login details to the wifi settings on that connection so there after all connections from the tab use the login in, thus working fine.

Re the WiFi, if you go to >settings>>wireless networks>>wifi, and long press (press and hold for few seconds) on the network a menu should pop up that says "modify network" or "modify config" or so. Choosing that gives you a menu to enter username, pass, seurity settings etc.
At my University, I can do that on any network that is broadcast even if I have not connected to it before.
Good luck !!

hi there.
Thank you for the reply. I unfortunately only get the options "proxy settings" and "ip settings".
Heya,
today i flashed my Milestone2 with CM10. I better describe what I did so maybe this
may give you a hint on my problem I will describe then.
1st I rooted the phone using SuperOneClick. I had to boot at least 5 times and hit the
Root Button again till that was successful - the other times it just hung.
2nd I placed the CM10 zip file on the root of my sdcard.
3rd I got Droid2Bootstrap from market and installed it. I hit "Bootstrap Recovery", gave
it Superuser rights and then hit "Reboot Recovery". The phone booted into recovery.
I did a backup. Then I installed the CM10 zip file. This all went fine.
I did NOT install gapps right after which might turn to have been my biggest mistake.
4th I rebooted the phone and it got stuck in the boot splash image (animated CM logo).
5th I rebooted into recovery again and did a factory reset.
6th I rebooted again and Android 4.1.1 came up.
So far so good. Now I have a phone with android 4. I can make and receive calls.
I have no google apps, no market, nothing.
First thing I noticed after the phone came up: it is not recognised by any pc anymore,
the MTP drivers refuse to install. There is no way to reach my sdcard nor the phone from
pc. So I have to plug the sdcard to the pc to copy things on it.
Second thing I noticed: I cannot boot into clockwork recovery anymore. I put the
Droid2Bootstrap apk from the CM10 thread on card and reinstalled it. Hitting the
"Reboot Recovery" Button now will just reboot the phone. I can reboot into android
recovery mode (switch on, hold X and press vol+/- at the logo) but i cannot install
the gapps zipfile from there because I dont have superuser rights obviously.
I have a backup on the sdcard, but cannot reach the phone from pc to reflash :crying:
Can anyone maybe gimme a hint what to do now?
Thanks, Martin

Hi!
My P500 was originally Gingerbread 2.3.3, than I used CM 7.2 with AmonRa 3.0.6 recovery for a year.
So I tried to flash KitKat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589303), and got some issues.
I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.6 (Jan/14), than the ROM (v8), and the installation worked well.
Before the reboot, CWM says:
"root access possibly lost. Fix?
this can not be undone"...
Whatever I choose, I got that black screen with
"fastboot mode started
udc_start()".
Thaaaan, I see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439466
and tried to downgrade SU to v1.55. But the CWM got an error, and cannot install (even with AmonRa)...
After all, I can't get KitKat working, and got back to AmonRa recovery and CM 7.2.
To complete the "good vibe", my Android can't get AT ALL connect through USB, so I can't test any ADB command.
I don't know where I'm doing wrong... Any directions??
Thanks!!!!

This^. Exactly this is what I am suffering from right now and I am amazed how identical the issue is. I hope the OP doesn't mind if I added some more info since I didn't wanna create a new thread when one is already made recently.
Here is some info in brief regarding my issue.
Last OS: CynogenMod 7.2
Last CWM: 5.0.0.X
Target OS: Cynogen KittKat
Target CWM: 6.0.4.6 [January 2014 release]
Downloaded KittKat Rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589303
Downloaded CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564767
Everything went fine when I flashed the CWM first and it entered the new recovery mode without a hitch. But the trouble began after I flashed the KittKatt Rom. Though initially everything installed just fine but in the end just before restart, this came:
"root access possibly lost. Fix?
this can not be undone"...
For safe measure I chose "Yes" and that's where my phone apparently got "soft-bricked" cause it rebooted into fastboot mode with this message
"fastboot mode started
udc_start()".
I looked around and found a "solution" for this kind of issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046
I followed instructions to the letter but my the LG Mobile support tool refused to identify my phone. Since I figured it might have been a driver issue so I installed PDAnet instead to get stuff working. The only hitch was that PDAnet would hang on "Updating PDAnet to your phone" option. I sat their staring at it for an hour or so and figured something was wrong like my phone wouldn't allow to install anything on itself since my debugging wasn't enabled, though I am not sure about this one.
In any case I checked device manager and my ADB drivers were fine so I ran the three recovery commands in DOS anyway and they all executed without a hitch. I jumped for joy but my happiness was short lived since the phone booted back into recovery mode and now I am basically stuck up the creek without a paddle. I could really use some expert advice here just like the OP cause I really am not sure what went wrong and where. I would really like to fix this rather than flash and start the whole phone up from scratch if possible.

The way back home without buggy LG Mobile anything: Remove and replace batter, press home, volume-down and power keys simultaneously. Can be a bit tricky but will get you back in recovery. I assume you did that backup before playing. Restore it to get the phone back up.
Two ways to get your Kitkat:
1. Using the Version-8 install, do a clean install and be sure to choose an item in the various menu panes. Should work with this and then you need to reinstall and setup everything.
2. Take the "nightly" and install normally doing the requesite steps in the backup.
Thank you, but– Nvm fixed it.
@Dovidhalevi
Thank you for your amazing advice. I was able to get into recovery and restore from my nandroid backup. *Thank god I did that*
But kittkat ROM is still being a pain. I decided to read the logs of version 8 of the ROM a bit more closely and found this:
Upgrading from CM-10.2 or older / Fresh (First time) Installation: Now DON'T WIPE ANYTHING (Data/Factory reset, Wipe Cache partition, Dalvik Cache, Format System) everything have built in Aroma Installer. Simply flash through sdcard or adb sideload, Follow the Aroma Menu. Finish and Reboot device. Avoid Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber, Hangout apps while selecting apps to be flash, it may gives you fastboot mode. Done!!!
I decided to try my luck once more and disabled all those apps during the installation. But just before rebooting my phone lost root access again and asked if I wanted to fix it or not and then it froze again on LG logo afterwards. Another force restart and it went straight into fastboot mode. Had to do another restore to get my phone working on the older backup.
Now I know it isn't the CWD cause I am running that with my older Cynogen 7.2 OS and its rebooting without a hitch unlike kittkat which mysteriously loses root access...
I really apologize if I am being a bit noobish. Even though hardware/networking/linux[Red Hat] is like playing in my backyard, android itself is a new concept to me, hence I really appreciate all the help I can get on this to work.
MAJOR EDIT: I finally found the root of the problem and got my KitKat munching! The issue was, yep you definitely guessed it, human error... that human being me and if the original OP did everything like I did then I am guessing he made the same mistake.
What I did was, I didn't read the Aroma installer's text thoroughly enough during the installation process. At one point there comes a choice of partitions and the installer asks you to choose one of the following: *Please forgive me this is not the exact quote of the text but roughly along the same lines as memory serves*
A) Install if you are coming from a previous version of the ROM.
B) Install if you are coming from a different ROM all together.
Trust me, the way I put it makes me look like an idiot for not choosing the right choice but the actual text combined with reading carelessly on the fly ended up me botching up my initial attempts to install the new ROM. Point being you have to choose the second option and then install like usual. Following that method I wasn't faced with fastboot mode in the end and after 5 to 10 minutes of loading I was playing with the KittKat ROM. Once again I apologize for bothering you good folks and I am grateful for the guidance to the person above me.
Kind Regards,
LonerPrime
I'll try

I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.6 (Jan/14), than the ROM (v8), and the installation worked well.
Before the reboot, CWM says:
"root access possibly lost. Fix?
this can not be undone"...

All newer recoveries have this behavior. Because you are running a custom ROM and recovery, you should select "No" when prompted to disable recovery flashing.
Did you try the Key combos suggested by @Dovidhalevi to manually enter in to CWM?
As a worst case scenario, view this post to see how to restore your device to stock.
It's fixed, but no Kitkat...

Oh, sorry. Maybe bad explanation. I did get it fixed. All the "x" times, heheh =)
I just got in recovery by pressing home+vol up+power, and flashed back my older ROM. Now I'm trying CM 10 by Jenkins.
The problem isn't the "fastboot" message itself... but don't get Kitkat working =/
But thanks for the reply anyway!

Boot in to your recovery and try wiping your cache and dalvik cache.
still no working
I wish I could get these popups.
Is there something else to do??? I tried everything, everyway... Always get "fastboot mode started / udc_start()".

Maybe I can help... Are you flashing the same download every time? It's possible that your download managed to get corrupted. Try redownloading the ROM. I'd suggest redownloading the newest recovery also.
Now I'm going to list my ROM installation method for comparison. I personally have NEVER had an issue installing a ROM on any Optimus One variant. And I have 3 of them...
Boot device to your current recovery. CWM 6.0.45+ is compatible with CM10 - CM11 only. If you are currently running an older recovery, make a backup of your ROM with your current recovery first. Now if running an older recovery, Select "Install from zip" and install CWM 6.0.4.5+ or equivalent. Then go to "Advanced" and select "Reboot Recovery". We should now be in your new recovery. 1) Select "Wipe data/factory reset". This will wipe cache, data, .android_secure, and sd-ext.
2) Select "Advanced" then "Wipe Dalvik Cache". When done, return to recovery main menu.
3) Select "Mounts and storage". Choose "Format /system" and then confirm the action. Go back to main menu.
4) Select "Install from zip". Now we can install KitKat. Browse to and select your KitKat ROM and confirm installation.
5) If your device was old baseband ( originally running Android 2.2.2 or older ) then you will also need to flash the old baseband patch found here.
6) If you wish to flash a GApps package, that should be done now, or optionally after booting the device and letting it boot in to the ROM for the first time.
7) Go back to the main menu and select "Reboot device". If prompted to disable recovery flashing, select "NO". First boot will take 3 - 5 minutes.

Thanks for explanation!! But... still nothing.
I did EVERY SINGLE STEP like you said. Except for baseband, cause my phone was originally 2.3.3. But all new downloads...
After flashing, try to reboot... DAMN! "root access possibly lost..." YES/NO, gives me same problem. I read another thread about this erros, people said about SU. Can it be? I tried to flash another SU version, but CWM return an error too =/

Ah, thanks man! But my problem isn't the "brick" itself, but the frustration of can't get kitkat working, hehe.
By the way, I think KDZ method dangerous, by many reports that you can find all through the web. In all 217897254179 times I tried Kitkat without success, I just rebooted in recovery mode (hold HOME+VOL UP+POWER button), and recovered the last CWM backup.
But thanks to the effort =)
