yes iam sure its something in phone cause i try much different headphones and original samsung headset the same problem (headset didnt work totally) i dont know what to do

someone help me please

Okay try out this
1. Download the AOKP ICS ROM for samsung captivate --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522881
2. Download the Devil ICS Kernel for samsung captivate --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642460
3. See that both of these are on your Internal storage
4. Using Odin go back to Gingerbread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
5. Please wipe/format cache dalvik cache
6. See that your device is rooted (Otherwise the ROM wont install and will give you an signature verification error etc)
7. Install ROM, the new gapps, once you've booted in, wait for few minutes and flash the kernel.
It should work and your headphones should work once you are back to ginger bread. If not then it would probably be a hardware problem. Good luck!

Rom suggestion request

I had to get a warranty replacement (bad USB port) and now I'm looking for a suggested solid Rom.
Before replacement I was running Jordan Elliot's [ROM][2.3.6] UCKK1 [Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, ZipAligned]
And loved it except the YouTube problem. I really don't care if HDMI works in the end, just looking for a solid Rom that doesn't force close a bunch, is well optimized, and has the basics and basic Bluetooth functioning.
Currently still on stock AT&T froyo and really not one to bounce around from Rom to Rom.

quickest way but must follow verbetum...
download the rom cwm.zip and get sgs kernel flasher from the market..
create
/sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix
(the V is capital, all others lowercase)
flash the .zip with kernel flasher ( this will flash the kernel from the rom only, the phone wont boot past recovery due to different android versions, so select no reboot and power it down as soon as its complete)
boot into recovery with 3button combo ( volume up + volume dn +power till "Samsung" screen shows)
clear data, flash rom, reboot
at this point you can enable voodoo and shouldn't have issues. the next reboot after voodoo is enabled will take 5+min

^ yep.
Also, don't be scared when your phone talks to you on the SAMSUNG logo when it's doing all the formatting. It scared me. It's just letting you know what it's doing.
I don't see iCraps talking when you jailbreak them and mess up (;
Thanks a bunch. May go for it tonight!
I take it this is full wipe. Are restores via titanium OK?

[Q] Samsung Captivate (i897) very weird problem when going to any JB ROM. please help

Hey there XDA,
I have a weird problem when using a Samsung Captivate (ATT i897)
I was running CM9 and i wanted to flash Paranoid Android JB rom, so i followed the instructions to the letter(factory reset, and format cache, etc) and a weird problem occurred, everything works perfectly except:
1) i have no lock screen (even though it is check on (slide))
2) no notifications arrive, (i hear the ringtone and all, but it doesnt tell me anything)
3) i hold the home button and no recent menu comes)
i flashed back to cm9 and the problem came with me.
So i OdIn back to stock and followed this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1350266 ) to get root and CWR and went to CM9, it works.
Fast forward one month and i decided to flash Lanight V6.5DD Jelly bean Rom.
The Same exact problem happened, i went back to CM9 and it followed me.
So i want to format everything on my phone using CWR (including /BOOT) and then going in to download mode and using the same method as above as a fresh start ( i have GB boot-loader from Kf1, and two ATT flashes come up whenever i boot my phone up)
maybe if i flash the ginger bread boot-loader again and cleanly (clean format of /boot) then install it will fix it.
.
(QUICK Q: if i format the /boot in CWR can i go into download mode????????)
Hopefully that will fix the problem
i would like to see what is your opinion and expert help.
Sincerely,
Thatguy2007

(Q) Rogers Infuse 4G - successful rooting - lag fix fiasco

Good morning,
While not a noob to rooting or flashing (currently active on Galaxy tab 2 boards) I appear to have made a noob mistake, and even though I searched and read stickies, etc - still made the mistake.
I rooted the Rogers Infuse 4G using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248 and it worked without issue.
Decided to try the enable lag fix option - deleted the voodoo file on the sd card, and rebooted the phone. Phone got stuck on SAMSUNG screen (unfortunately - did not notice that the volume was off on the phone) and I did not hear the "voice" telling me what was going on - so rebooted the phone by holding the power button until it rebooted.
Spent a couple of hours after that re-reading, and since I was able to get into download mode - was able to reflash stock package through odin. When the phone did finally reboot (thankfully, as this is my daughter's daily driver) I noticed there was already a voodoo file on the sd card, with another file inside named "logs" Just in case, I deleted that file, and added a new one called "disable-lagfix" as per the original instructions.
Just to be sure - went back and ran the rooting procedure, and can confirm that we have root.
From there, I decided to flash the 100% working CWM Recovery file through Rom Manager - found the details on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881 and can confirm that after rebooting into recovery - the phone has CWM Version 2.5.1.2
The phone is currently fully functional, no issues with network or wifi, playstore, etc - but would like to know if anyone can confirm that we are good to go should we decide to upgrade to a custom rom. I've done so much reading - that the recovery version confuses me ( red or blue, etc). I realize that some of the threads are back from early to mid 2011 - so not sure if they are still completely valid - so am asking before proceeding.
Phone settings are the following:
Kernal 2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622
Build GB.UXKG3
Baseband I997RUXKG3
Firmware 2.3.3
CWM 2.5.1.2
Currently have the voodoo/disable-lagfix file on the sd card
If anyone has gotten this far into the thread - and can offer up some feedback or recommendations - it would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Bill
I usually don't trust Rom manager, but if you are able to boot to recovery then I would say you are good.
If you want the red one (don't remember the version) you could flash a custom kernel with sgs kernel flasher (available on play store).
Infusion should work for you

Thanks for the reply - appreciate your time
Guess it's time to turn that volume up, delete the voodoo folder, and cross my fingers....
Just to confirm - do I delete the voodoo folder itself, or the disable-lagfix folder inside the voodoo folder only ?
Again, thanks
:good:
What were you planning on flashing?
You can probably leave it there for now, and after you have flashed then you can dispose of the folder.

First off andros11 - thank you so much for your time in replying to my issue.
My daughter has been looking over the development site - and,
as it stands right now, she has her mind set on the Dark Night Rom by VortexJunior.
Here is the link, if it helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662280
The install instructions, while relatively simple - and similar to what I am used to doing - but no mention of lagfix
Installation: From Gingerbread
1. Download Zip
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache Partition
4. Flash
5. Reboot into recovery(Advanced>Reboot recovery)
6. Flash again
7.BAMM!
Thanks again for your time and replies,
Regards
Once on ICS I don't think you have to mind about lag-fix..
Also, I suggest you just reboot instead of rebooting into recovery. That often causes recovery bootloops.
When you reboot, the phone will hang at the kernel splash screen (this is normal). Just take out the battery, place it back in and boot into recovert with 3-finger combo (vol +, vol - and power, and let go when samsung logo pops up)
My personal suggestion is that you move on to JB. It performs much better, and mostly all development is now there.
Perfect - thanks
Am running CM 10.1 on my tablet, and love it
Will have my daughter research JB ROMs instead.....
Happy Holidays to you and your family

Lag fix??
I am confused.. what exactly is the lagg fix? My GF has a JB (one of phablet ROMS) installed and all the JB ROMS I have installed on this phone (and I think all ROMS besides JB) have had lagg problems. So I would really like to know how to fix this phone.
About that lagfix...
If I remember correctly voodoo lag fix was originally designed for the Galaxy S to change the file system it ran at to something that made the phone feel more responsive and access recourses quicker. It was ported to other ROMs so if a ROM includes it then you're ok to use it but I don't think you can just apply it to any JB ROM. Plus after using a GB ROM with this lagfix for some time, any 4.0 and above ROM I have used after that has been a LOT quicker in comparison. So I would probably look into the way you JB roms were installed maybe do a data wipe/factory wipe in CWM and reinstall the ROM from the beginning. What ROMs are you using exactly?

[Q] How to de-brick rooted P5110 that keeps rebooting after startup animation (boot)

As the title says: P5110 keeps rebooting during boot - right after animation stops (before word SAMUNGS starts glowing).
Tablet is rooted and there is CWM 5.5.0.4 installed. Was just fine for almost half a year and all of a sudden this...
I have tried
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advanced : wipe Dalvik Cache (whatever that might be?)
I also tried all the "mounts and storage" options and noticed on thing: i can mount all storage mounts (/system, /cache, /data, /efs, /preload, /sdcard) but one - namely /emmc. Does it mean that emmc is broken? What is emmc? Is it important?
I am considering unrooting it and removing CWM. But not sure whether it's even possible and don't dare to try!
Can you tell me anything that might help me debrick this tablet?
Do you have nandroid backup(one that you make with cwm)? If yes go to backup and restore in cwm and hit restore....if not try to reflash rom via cwm or flash stock rom via odin in dowload mode.
emmc is.... http://www.simmtester.com/page/news/showpubnews.asp?num=181

Sorry to jump on this thread but might be a similar steps the OP has to take.
What if he flashes a new Rom and it still is locked in a strange boot up?
I posted a thread earlier today but either no one has an answer or my thread title was just crappy.
Mine did exactly what his is doing now (just boots the samsung logo and hangs) and now it just boots into recovery everytime you start it.
Flashing an original stock rom didnt fix it.
Flash via Odin any stock ROM then root it and flash whatever you like.
This kind of brick may occur easily if you have flashed uncompatible kernel or tried to restore nandroid backup of another ROM or made by uncompatible CWM recovery version.

Normally, it should actually work absolutely fine if you flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Nobody knows what did cause your problems and what did you flash as last. Also, different OS versions use sometimes different partitions. Even CWM recovery is not compatible through all versions, it uses different formatting.
So this way should work to restore stock ROM on your device:
find and download Odin that fits your device (earlier versions are not neccessarily worse ones)
find and download PIT file for your device
find stock ROM for your device consisting 3-files (for PDA, Phone, CSC).... ROMs are usually zipped, so you will get 3 data after extracting
The PIT file will do re-partitions for the case that your formerly installed ROM used different partitions whch are not compatible with the stock ROM.
After that you will have again unrooted stock ROM. So just be careful afterwards whatever you flash and before you do it, make sure that whatever you flash always fits your device (no matter is it whole ROM, kernel or just upgrade).

Thank you for the reply. I had posted a link in here that linked to my thread that explained what i had done and used but it didnt show up for some reason? Anyway I used the below roms(in bold). An update was available for JB and we own two tablets both the P5113 and bought at the same time. One tablet updated fine but the other one would download the package but then would keep failing to install it. So i did a factory reset on the device and then that's when the fun began and it started booting strange.
So I first tried flashing the official JB rom using ODin 3.04.
P5113UECLK7 (4.1.1) - Cellular south November 2012 (Official)
and it still did the same thing so then i tried flashing it back to ICS which is the rom that was on there i think. (It was ICS but not sure if that was the exact version number?)
P5113UEBLI1 (4.0.4) - Singapore September 2012 (Official)
Im sure the roms are going on there fine as if im not mistaken ICS has a blue battery charge icon and JB a gold one. I noticed that it went from blue to gold when i first loaded the 4.1.1 on there and then back to blue when i put ICS back on there.
I cant seem to find a PIT file for the P5113. Only for the P5100. Would that work?
I tried it anyway and it didnt work

If I was you, I wouldn't flash it before I am 100% sure it fits the p5113. I own the p5110 and they are indeed very similar, but who knows.... Take care of your Tab, mate.
BTW: why not CM10.1 stable? It works awesome, full wipe/factory reset, install zip through recovery, install recent gapps for CM10.1 (4.2.2) and after boot install Apex launcher and enjoy life

I hear you Its a paper weight right now though so thought id rather try as nothing else is doing the trick.
The tablets are my kids so i preferred to just give them an official stock version. I got put off using custom roms when i used paranoid android on my samsung galaxy 2 and it was real buggy. I just need my devices to work for the basics. I now run stock jelly bean on my GS2 but even that has crappy battery life, lucky for it to make it till 4pm and still be on and thats with moderate use. Couple of phone calls and a few text messages and a tiny bit or browsing. I know what is causing it though as it only starts to lose battery when im not on wi fi. It at least doesnt freeze and stop receiving phone calls altogether like PA did though. I used to miss a ton of work calls because the phone had actually frozen.
I love Apex though. I have Apex pro on my GS2 and its much better then the standard launcher. My daughter has the GS3 and it still does not rotate on the home and app screens which i find annoying.

I've got your point, mate. :good:
Same with me: I need all the functions to work. The CM10.1 does it really, but my p5110 is wifi-only device so I'm not sure if CM10.1 is same good for your p5113. CM10.2 seems to be smooth and fast, but many apps aren't yet updated for 4.3 so I will wait a while before I flash it again.
I have cm10.1 on my p5113...it runs amazing...the p5113 owners most of the time have to flash the p5110 version because there is nothing different with the tabs besides the ir port..

Great, I am glad to hear it did charger cable trick help?
Just to make sure: you must be sure to flash a stock ROM first (not JB based custom ROM), after it you will have revived Tab without root. After that normal proceeding: root it, install CWM recovery or custom kernel that fits your ROM (or even whole custom ROM) which already features the CWM recovery.
The stock recovery (3e) checks the signature so of course you can't flash any custom zips. CWM recovery has an option "toggle signature verification" where one can disable signature check. Then you can flash whatever you want, just take care that all you ever flash must be absolutely compatible for your device.

One more thing mate, look at this video which I've posted on YouTube last January:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NXBN9Z63TY
It describes how to get rid of the signature verification problem. For the reason that quite many people don't understand english well, I have made a speechless video added by step by step description in the text (video description) so people can just copy the text and paste it into their translators.
If one ROM that you have flashed bootloops on the logo just try another ROM. It happens sometimes. Important is that you should always before flashing another ROM make full wipe: (data/factory reset/cache/dalvik) in your recovery mode.
Did you do it?
Please let me know if you were successful, it should work now! Good luck :fingers-crossed:
It works!
Thanks everyone for your feedback!!!
and my apologies for late response.
I followed the advise to (re)flash stock rom and it worked!
After that i rooted it again, installed another recovery and now have the latest stock rom working perfectly.
For those who get the same problem and the tabled keeps rebooting - just plug it into recharger and keep the on/off button until it turns off. Then you can fully charge it before you attempt to flash rom.
Once again, thanks a lot!
PS. now i am considering installing CM10.1

Great! Congratulations
Yes, install CM10.1.1 with gapps for 4.2.2 it works great, all the functions. Just mind that you can not restore nandroid backups made with other kernel, (sometimes also not if done with older CWM recovery version) and also apps backups made by Titanium backups in older systems aren't good idea to restore once you upgrade to CM10x
If you want to return for any reason to your old (current) ROM, do the same procedure like by unbricking

Got the phone from a friend of a friend.
It has the cyanogen mod on it (not sure which one)
Been using it for a few months and loved it, but now the phone is really acting weird, screen won't open/delayed etc
I would love to unroot this phone and just go back to regular stock that comes with the g2x but can't really find any good source to tell me how.
Am I screwed since I wasn't the one to root this phone?
Just figured out I have version: Cyanogenmod-7.2.0-p999

Try a different cm7 rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
In all honesty I would just flash the latest vanilla version of CM7 from get.cm. Its the most reliable ROM for this phone and way better than any stock firmware released by LG. There's tons of kernels you can flash also if you're into overclocking and undervolting like I am. However the stock cm kernel does the job.
ishoid large
I appreciate the suggestions, however it still does not relate to the more pressing problem of how I can not flash the rom. As pointed out in my first post, it comes up as
"Add on:

It was a pretty old link, is there a link to which rom I should download for stock?
out of curiosity...did you do a full wipe (factory data reset, both caches and format /system) before trying to flash the stock rom? I believe Buru, one of the dev's for the g2x has a stock rooted 2.3.4 rom available for download in the dev section. There's a few of them out there.
If all else fails you could always check out ROM for recovery here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644&highlight=search+this+forum

I was literally about to send a post here about what you mentioned.
It appears I did have an old download.
I did indeed do a factory data reset, both caches and the delvik (forget how it's spelled) wipe.
I had then succesfully installed back to factory.
so far the only problem I notice is phone calls. it's like a broken TV + fax line noise that is very loud. Any Ideas?
What you need to do is flash the correct baseband fix from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776843

You my friend are amazing!!!
Now basically every now and then both on wifi and slightly when not on wifi, I can hear myself echo.
Also for some reason, when I try to video skype someone, my video does not work.
Any suggestions?
so far, glad to have this phone working better than it did before!
The video thing is kinda weird. Which rom are you running? If you're trying to run anything above gingerbread there's tons of issues with video. Mainly that it doesn't work.
The echo thing I think i've seen people mention that but I'm not sure where. I can't remember whether or not it was resolved. All I can think of is some setting somewhere and something about dual mics... yeah. That's all I got. Maybe someone else will remember.
1 more thing if anyone can help. I know I've seen it some where, but I'm not able to use wifi to make calls/send text. I know there was something I had to download but can't find it again.
