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
hey im new to the forum and i rooted my s3 and have the r420 senergy rom installed but the wifi dooesnt work! uhhhhh i cant post in the development section till i have 10 posts. so any one who can help that would be great. ive been doing a lot of reading and what is the differnce between nightly and and regular roms? and i read that the wifi wont work on the nightly rom with out a kernel flash?>?>? Is this right? im going to try the v1.6 senergy any way .....my model is the i535 but yall probably already know that because you hacked my ip address and seen my phone plugged in J/K ha thanks in advance
First off, Synergy r433 is the latest version. And a new release is scheduled to drop any minute now.
A nightly is an experimental build that gets updated nightly. Whereas a stable build is less frequent but as the name suggests is stable. Nightly you must really know what you're doing and are be okay with occasional bugs, otherwise use the stable releases. (fyi SynergyROM stopped releasing nightlies)
As for your Wifi problem, reflash but the make sure you do a full factory reset, and then a super wipe within the AROMA installer. *This will wipe internal storage, make sure to have the ROM zip on external storage* Wifi is not bugged, I'm suggesting the was a flashing error.

Thank you so much for replying. i was thinking the same about the nightly "name" but thanks for clarifying. i have tried several times. in clockworkmod recovery(or whatever the name is) i factory reset and in the installer i wipe everything. (on the internal sd) and then install cleanly. but my kernel doesnt flashed it says its not unlocked.?!?! how do i unock it? i unlocked the bootloader and once more so i knew for sure. and my phone says custom with a padlock unlocked symbol below. but same thing everytime...wifi is buggy. i like this rom and just want it to work...thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! is there a special "better" kernel unlock method? my paitients are getting low...lol well my girl wants her phone stock ...F**CK THATT!!!!!!!!!! thanks man

I am experiencing the same issue.
I rooted, flashed CWO, and then installed synergy. Nothing worked... then I read that you need to unlock the bootrom so I did that, rebooted and got the same... no wifi. After unlocking the bootloader I reinstalled synergy (R484) and still WiFi will not turn on.
I followed they synergy thread for flashing and This thread for bootloader unlocks.
Provider: Verizon
Phone: GS3
ROM: SynergyROM (r484)
Recovery: ClockworkOrange
Got it fixed!
So... I only used odin... no romloader apps or any of that crap...
1: Reinstalled stock ROM
2: Reinstalled CWO
3: Reinstalled Root+Bootloader
4: Reinstalled SynergyROM
5: Enjoy! Wifi works, all applications work!

Hi all,
My front facing phone speaker seems to be permanently muted. Whenever I get or make a phone call no sounds come from the speaker on the top front of the phone. When I switch to speaker mode everything works fine. Also the phone randomly disconnects from the phone network then reconnects. I was originally running Cyanogenmod 10.0.0 during which everything was working fine. I then upgraded to a nightly using the built in cyanogen upgrader. For a time after this everything continued to work. Eventually these problems began. I again upgraded, using the built in upgrader to 10.1.0 RC1 then 10.1.0 RC2 which didn't seem to change anything. Finally I used recovery to wipe the cache and factory reset and flash 10.1.0 RC2 and the latest gapps package. This didn't help either. I then repeated that process except with the version 10.0.0 of cyanogenmod which also did not fix the problem. I'm not sure if these problems are actually related but they seemed to start at around the same time. I've never knowingly flashed a radio on this thing, I'm not sure if the in app upgrader does this or not. I was wondering if anyone had a good idea on what my next course of action should be or if they have had similar issues and have found a solution.
Thanks.

If you were happy with everything working WHY in the world did you upgrade to a Nightly? Nightly by definition is only for people who know what they're doing and are not afraid of the Night.
Anyway, there are like 6.0221413e+23 changes from cm 10.0.0 to 10.1 RC2. What can I say you did a dirty flash (upgrade!), and probably didn't back up.
So the first thing you should do is back up. NOW (go to CMW recovery and back up)
Download a better behaving nightly like the one JD1639 uploaded. get it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272261
Download the UCMC1 radio (assuming you're on at&t)
Download the gapps 20130301
Put them all on in one folder for easy access
goto the CWM recovery and get to work:
1-backup
2-cleanup: go to mounts and format data, cache, system (don't format the sdcard!!!) and don't reboot until everything is finished
3-clean dalvik cache from advanced
4-install in this order: RADIO file.zip (UCMC1)
5-CM ROM
6-gapps
7-go to Advanced Restore option, find you back up and restore the "DATA" portion ONLY
This should save you ... good luck,
Commodore 64
Thanks for the reply.
That seemed to fix the connectivity issue but not the sound issue. I guess that could just be a hardware thing. If it were a software issue is there anything else I should try?

You know I don't think it is a hardware issue since it started after one of your updates. If you were on a ROM for while, and one morning you wokeup and the sound didn't work ... maybe. But i'm not convinced since also I remember around Feb-March there were some complains on sound not working after flashing to 4.2.2 version of the cm. Try flashing back to the stock UCMC1 ROM (absolute stock flashed with Odin not CMW) and then do a factory reset.
Hi all,
I've just bought a new SII Skyrocket to replace my Motorola Bravo -- the bravo was terrible purchase and though the Skyrocket is a two year-old phone I consider this a big step up.
I bought the phone on eBay and it was advertised as new. It arrived in its original packaging with the security seal intact, so I have no reason to doubt this. The phone is running ICS (4.0.4 build IMM76D.UFCLF6).
The phone arrived yesterday and I really like it, but I've encountered a weird issue. If I reboot the phone then it is no longer able to make any sound. Any action that requires sound -- incoming calls, outgoing calls, choosing a ringtone, playing music, taking a picture -- causes the phone to freeze for a minute or more and then become very slow. Rebooting again makes no difference. The only solution I've found is to reboot into recovery and factory reset, though this may only work after several tries.
- Has anyone heard of this issue before?
- Is it likely to be fixed by upgrading to Jelly Bean (I'll install a custom ROM if I can be sure that the phone is working properly) or is this more likely a hardware issue?
Apologies if this question has been answered before. I've searched the forums here and elsewhere, but I haven't found any mentions of similar issues.
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing a stock UCMC1 ROM and doing a factory reset after your flash finished successfully and Odin rebooted your phone.
3 things you need:
1- skyrocket windows drivers from Samsung website
2-Odin
3-stock ucmc1 tar ball.

You don't need to install a custom rom. Try updating to official jellybean with kies, if that doesn't work then try C64's advice above with either UCMC1 or UXUMA7 (uxuma7 is less bloated).
The issue you're having is odd and I haven't encountered it before..

Thanks for the suggestions, C64 and lingowistico. Upgrading to JB was going to be my next move, but I wanted to know if anybody had seen this behavior first. I don't want to mess with the phone too much in case the seller will take it back (I may be on a loser there). I'll try the official upgrade and let you know.
Custom ROM not necessary -- true, but I've been running CM on my bravo for a couple of years and can't go back to a stock ROM. I'll try the de-bloated version of the official JB release, but I'd like something I can have more control over.
Cheers...

when phone is doing odd things the best way to ts is a complete wipe, formatting/removing sdcards then returning to stock w/odin, but you could try the debloated rom 1st just to test it out, if its resolved then its prob not hw related, just make a backup of ur current rom if planning on returning it but since you install an official stock it should also be returnable

Thanks Vincom. I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment so haven't been able to try the upgrade.
One question -- how is it possible to make a backup of the current ROM without first rooting and installing a custom recovery? I suppose that I could install the custom ROM and create a nandroid backup. Then if I needed to restore I could restore the nandroid and reinstall the stock recovery. Is there an easier way?
Apologies, I just saw that you have information on reinstalling the stock recovery on your Newb Guide.
BTW, I want to say thanks for your work on the Newb Guide. One of the things that sold me on this phone was the support that it has here. Amazing to have all of the information on installing the custom recovery, rooting, etc. all in one place.

I believe I had this kinda issue once before, it was when I flashed CM10 or something. No incoming sound, sound did not work whatsoever, but installed a different kernel solved the issue, or flashing a new different rom.

UPDATE:
So, I managed to upgrade to the official JB 4.1.2 this evening. Had to do it twice.
First time the boot got stuck at the AT&T logo and PC wouldn't detect the device. I followed the directions in another post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34682377&postcount=9 to repeat the upgrade and the same thing happened.
On a whim I decided to try rebooting a few times to see what would happen -- and it worked! Sort of...
I'm repeatedly rebooting the phone and sometimes it will start without problem. However, most of the time it gets stuck when the AT&T logo appears exactly where it should play the start up sound, except it freezes and the sound never plays.
I'm guessing that wiping the data before had nothing to do with fixing the problem and I was simply getting lucky on reboot.
I realize that this is a hard question without having the phone in hand -- but does this sound like a hardware issue?
Thanks again to everyone for their help.
Boot into recovery and factory reset from there. That should clear up the boot loop issue.

Just a quick note to let you know how this was resolved. I returned the phone to the seller who provided a full refund.
Thanks again to those who respondend.:highfive:
Hey everyone. So ill give you a quick background here.
I got the new sIII so I took my old sII and rooted it and started messing around with roms ext to get to know the basics, I still dont know them but at least I didnt brick my new phone. Got used to odin, CWM and TWRP(not so much still getting ot know this one)
So I now have the sIV (sgh-I337M) and I was upset when I bought the galaxy gear watch and couldnt connect it to my phone. (OBV because it isnt a note3 and its not running 4.3 JB)
So I go on a mission. Rooting and Rom'ing my SIV to 4.3. some roms worked, some didnt. Found one that worked flawlessly! installed it started setting it up the way I wanted it and everything was going well, all the while connected to wifi. The problem comes when I tryed to text someone. I have no radio.... Crap.... So I realized maybe its because I didnt install a build prop?? What is a build prop? How does one install a pre-made build prop? is this even my problem?
Here is the thread I used to get my rom (The only rom that isnt constantly having "com.xxx.xxx" unexpectedly stopping or failing) and it runs flawlessly on my phone except for the radio problems... I downloaded and installed 2013.09.07 ROM
I assumed the attatched file ge4.3-build.prop-i337m.zip is a build prop that I need to add into the phone some how and this may fix my problem.
I know this type of problem has been addressed a million times. Unfortunatly Im at work right now and I can take the time to search thousands of threads for this answer. altho I assure you I never registered untill today because everything Ive needed to know untill now has been answered with a bit of searching thru this exilent foums culture.
ANY HELP GRATELY APPRECIEATED
