Problem with teamhacksung's ICS rom!!! Need help desperately!!!

ok guys here is the deal. I just flashed teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Captivate (BUILD 16) and faced multiple problems :
-no service at all
-phone doesnt recognize internal sd card, and keeps asking to insert sd card to be able to use camera and media player
-no option to choose wifi that i want to use
-cannot connect phone with computer via usb even mass storage is on
I need help desperately guys as soon as possible!!! can someone tell how to fix these problems, or tell me how to fix connection problems so i can copy another rom to my phone, or maybe how to go back to stock settings and stock rom !!

try flashing different ROM, may be?
Nostalgia 2.1 is out.

Check the sticky in the dev section for an odin flashable stock rom. Don't use cwm. Start back at kk4, flash a cwm kernel (corn or similar), then try cm9 again.

Do this and try again. But before you go and flash things, make sure you know the way out first.

Hey guys i got new question for u, well now while im dealing with encryption problem i used the guide that yall mentioned and im having little problem (i hope its little) so heres the deal : whenever i try to pull or push file using adb i got device not found error. Im trying to push vold.flstab file that i somehow got out system/etc folder on my phone without using oull command since it wasnt working. I got it out and modified it but i cant push it back. How can i fix this error or how can i create a zip file to flash this file to my phone using cwm ???

Nevermind guys, figured out how to change that file (using root explorer) but now when i changed i was supposed to restart phone (thats what guide said) but phone now stucks on boot screen. really dont know what to do -.-

My friend says to me all the time... "your doing it wrong" and "just stop hacking your phone and u won't have that problem"

Yeea, I figured out that way now when my phone is totally busted, im gonna get new one (Captivate again) and not gonna mess a lot with it as I did with this one.

Really you shouldn't have to worry about completely messing up(but don't hold me to it) I thought I was done a couple times, but even when my captivate was soft bricked and my computer wouldn't recognize it, a USB jig pops it into download mode that we all know and love ... and from there you can flash back to whatever you like.
By the way...when is the last backup you have made? If it was right before you flashed, just go into download mode, flash to whatever you were on, restore your nandroid, then start over the right way(or choose not to flash that again)

Help! Accidently deleted OS I think? Possibly "Bricked"

Hey guys. I messed up my phone. amature mistakes. I learned my lesson. I was trying to flash a jellybean rom plus the Devil R3 kernel over to a rooted Captivate using CWM. It flashed the Devil kernel over smoothly then when I went to intall the Jellybean rom zip it started to go smoothly then it rebooted in about 5 seconds into the installation and all that came up after 20 min of sitting was the Devil kernel screen. I can get to download mode. I could flash different kernels with odin but then I thought to myself my phone is basically bricked, so I tried that one click unbrick and it also messed up my drivers so now I can't use odin. It worked kind of but didn't change anything. Now I am stuck at the AT&T boot screen. I think the OS was deleted. I can't acesses the SD card. I was stupid and didnt create a CWM backup first. Now all I wanna do is simply go back to a basic 2.3.5 gingerbread and I am never gonna try anthing this dumb again. Please help guys this is my last hope.
edit:
I also wanted to clear up I used the corn kernel to install CWM it worked for the installation of the devil kernel but not the installation of Jellybean OS

Heh, deleting the os? I do it all the time, it means nothing. Have you used heimdall at all? That will mess up your drivers, so make sure you don't try to Odin using the same usb port you did with heimdall.

Go to that thread and then to the second post. Download an Odin one-click for gingerbread kk4 probably with bootloaders unless you've been on gingerbread previously in which case you can go without boot loaders. Using that will take you back to stock gingerbread. Then you can use Odin to flash your corn kernel or devil kernel, which ever one you want and continue on with your flashing fun.
Just an FYI based on your OP what happened during the rom flash is normal. A lot of the Jelly Bean roms out there use different partition layouts and different kernels. So when you start the flashing of the rom the first thing is does it install those two things. So a lot of times when it changes one or both of those it will cause a reboot about 5 seconds in and will get you stuck in a boot loop. Next time you end up stuck on a kernel screen just pull the battery and replace it. Then use the three button combo to boot back into recovery. From there you should be able to flash your rom again and it should work without problem.

Its okay to have the OS 'deleted'. First thing you need to do is go into recovery (red devil options screen). Then go to mounts and storage, connect your phone to different computer if possible and mount your internal SD. Open up a browser on your computer and download another ROM (cm10 is stable). Drag and drop that ROM.zip unto your internal SD and flash it from recovery. Peace amigos.

Its a great relief to have such a giving crowd out there

Thank you guys for all your help! I got a rom flashed over "Helly Bean" Now the only issue I am having is the IMEI is messed up. I don't have any clue what to do now. I have tried following other posts even a video and I'm stuck! Please help!
Once again guys thank you so much cause I'm a far stretch from where I was last night where it was a blank Kernel that wouldn't install a rom.
Update:
A few minutes ago I got service w/o changing anything I got a bunch of texts I tried to make a call and lost service. I rebooted and same problem as it has been. No service and it popped up with the IMEI problem.

Provided the imei issue happened during the helly bean flash you should have a backup on your internal SD card. Look on your internal SD for a folder labeled backup. If you have that look in there and hopefully you'll have a folder within it labeled efs.
If you have that try downloading an app called nitrality from the play store and use it to restore that copy of your efs folder.
Like I said IF it happened because of the helly bean flash that should fix your problem. If not I don't want to tell you what you'll probably have to do....

Ok I did some playing and actually went in and deleted my efs folder. I did this because I've personally never had the issue so I wanted to see what I could do to understand it better.
So like you Nitrality didn't do me any good so I apologize for pointing you in that direction.
What did work for me is I went in with a file explorer and simply copied all the files in the backup /efs folder directly into the root /efs folder where they should be. I then rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions. Then rebooted normal and all was good.
Now keep in mind that helly bean was the rom that made that backup for you. So if by some chance in your flashing process, a rom that you flashed prior to helly bean caused the issue then the efs backup you have could be corrupt as well. But for now we'll assume it is good and go from there.

Efs problems are best fixed by going back to stock.

Dang I have too try that.

A custom ROM! A custom ROM! My phone for a custom ROM!.!

Okay, I have no idea why, but my phone doesn't seem to like any ROM except for the stock. Every ROM, every update I've tried, has just gone and bricked my phone. I'm a newbie as far as development goes, but I do know my way around flashing, applying updates from SD and stuff. And I'm careful not to mess with files designed for the other ace. I also follow instructions to the letter. I'm as scared of bricks as anyone else.
So I was wondering whether any of you could help me out here. Do tell me if it's better to stick with the stock ROM though. Awaiting a reply.
Cheers
EDIT:
Okay, I downloaded this iDroid ROM from here
My phone's kernel version says 2.6.35.7([email protected] #201209221033), but there's absolutely no change. Any ideas on what to do now? Still waiting for a reply. :-\

Well firstly ask why yourself why you want to flash a particular custom ROM? Does it have features you need etc? If not then stock is fine and there are many ways alter the appearance of your phone without flashing a new custom ROM via apps in the play store.
As always prior to flashing a custom ROM make sure you have all the tools and knowledge to flash back to stock if anything goes wrong. OK so by the sounds of it you have installed RB,s kernel but have not installed IDroid ROM, tell us how you tried to flash and that will give us more of an idea where you are going wrong.

Why the custom ROM: I was told by a friend (who uses a Galaxy Y) to use one, so as to make the phone less laggy. And I like to have my devices looking a little different from what everyone uses. Pardon me
EDIT: And yes, I do have the firmware required to flash back, as well as Odin. I've flashed before, so you could say I'm not a total waste there And I seem to have trouble understanding the difference between ROM and kernel.... could you please explain it to me? At least I'll know where I'm going wrong.

The standard procedure I follow:
1. Download the flashable zip to my phone SD card.
2. Reboot into stock recovery, enter clockworkmod through its zip file
3. Backup just in case, install the zip through cwm or stock recovery, whichever the dev advises
4. Reboot

Update: managed to get RazoDroid working. Firmware XXLD2, Rafael Baugis kernel (obviously, duh ) and no problems so far!

Just because you're probably not following the instructions correctly doesn't mean it's the developer's fault, and that you should be 'disappointed'.

True. I do my best to follow instructions, but I may have overlooked something somewhere. And no, I'm not blaming any devs, not intentionally anyway, because I don't have any rights to.... At the end of the day, I did manage to make something work, and now I'm happy with it, so all I can say is peace out

[Q] Accidentally wiped rom from Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g.. help!

Hey everybody, new to the forum.. glad to be here!
Here's the deal.. I have googled and searched xda as well as other forums and can not seem to find the answer I am looking for,,
Here's what happened...
I was running 2.3.6. Used CWM and root zip to root my phone. That all worked fine, but next, like a dummy, I went through and started deleting stock apps and accidentally deleted my Live Wallpapers and Wallpapers. So, I used an app (I feel bad for not being able to remember which one, but in the midst of panic I went into last night, it slipped my mind) to unroot it.
When I did this, the stock apps didn't return. I'm guessing because I didn't back them up. So, next I tried to install Flash2stock, thinking that would get me back to where I needed to be. Well, somehow in the menu, I thought it would be a good idea to wipe the rom and everything else.
So, now when I turn my phone on it will boot to "Samsung Galaxt Exhibit 4g" screen and then just boot loop.
In my googling yesterday, I found a page about using ODIN and how I could use it to flash back to stock with my phone. I tried and tried, but Odin will not recognize my phone. I have the correct drivers installed (as far as I can tell) but no luck..
So, I'm here to ask you root gurus about solutions. Are there other methods to restoring my stock rom and getting my phone working again?
or am I just missing something with the Odin stuff?
Please, please, please help! I thank you so much in advance. Not having a phone sucks!

Try uninstalling the drivers and re-installing the ones from here:

Thank you for sending me that link. I did not know that I needed a different driver for download mode.. unfortunately both links provided in the wiki page do not work. I am going to google it again and see if I can find them somewhere else.. or if you know of another link that would rule.
And yes I did. I believe I did so correctly. Once the screen with the yellow "!" came up, I pressed the Vol up to get into download mode, then I plugged in my phone, then started Odin. Odin showed the message "Please connect Phone".
I'm running Windows 7 32-bit. And my computer thinks the other driver is called "mtp driver". This is draining, but I am determined to not let a phone beat me

I have done this before, since you have cwm on your phone, all you need to do is download the flash2stock zip to your external sd. Flash via cwm and wait for it to finish, then reboot and let your phone sit for roughly 10 mins. You should be good after that

Thanks again guys. I finally found the srivers I needed and got Odin ti recorgnize my phone.
The method with the sd card would have worked perfectly, but i do not have an sd card reader for my computer. Will definitely be investing in one soon!
When Odin set this guy back up, it install 2.3.5 bavk on here, which is fine because I plan to root and customize anyway.
Any suggestions for kernels/roms i should check out? I have done minimal looking at the ones for my drvice, but intend to.
My main concern is functionality. I need my camera and other apps to work. If they dont, then to me it defeats the purpose.
Also, I do remember the joy os rom that looks like an iphone-ish layout.. Has anybody made one that looks like a windows phone? Ive used the launchers in the past, but it would be cool if there was a rom out there.

If you want a windows phone look you could get Cyanogenmod and install a windows phone theme. Then just get Launcher 8. The theme is pretty extensive and does the whole system. Then just get apps like metro messaging to replicate core apps. Also there is a Windows phone keyboard out there somewhere.

[Q] Samsung splash sound but no display. HELP!

Hi everyone, as you can see I am a n00b and am in need of help.
Basically I upgraded my n7000 after running a German version of ICS (4.0.4 I believe) to the latest UK Jellybean. All worked well except that JB is pretty slow and totally drained my battery. After becoming frustrated I decided to try to flash my phone back to ICS and found a uk/Ireland version (4.0.3). I popped the phone into download mode and ran Odin successfully. Jobs a good one.....until I tried to restart my phone. It appeared to boot up as I could hea the Samsung splash tune, however the LCD didn't light up, nor any of the touch buttons. In a panic I tried to revert the phone back to JB which appeared to work except I still have the LCD/ touch button problem.
So, can anyone help at all? I can put it into download mode and connect it to Odin however KIES doesn't appear to see the phone when it's on and plugged in. Should I send it for a JTAG repair, or can this be fixed via the PC?
Thanks in advance!

Thats an odd one really, but I would try flashing stock GB with pc odin, there are many fewer flash problems with gb and it's a good place to start.
Forget connection to kies, so long as you can connect to odin.

Mine did that when I put the DBT release 4.1.2 on my phone, then put a custom kernel. Reflashed it several times with
no luck, then, tried a kernel from a different developer and it worked just fine. Downloaded the original kernel I was using
(speedmod) and flashed it again, and sound but no lights. Put Philz kernel back on it and it worked. Not sure what the
deal was, but with my device, the DBT LT5 rom and speedmod, I couldn't get any video.

Thanks SpyderTracks all working now, battery is a bit iffy but I think that is hardware more than anything else, I've changed the charge port and it's the same. Both batteries are fine in my girlfriends phone though. Hey, at least it is alive!

In my 40 + years of fixing electronic circuits, I've always found that troubleshooting ALIVE, although not working properly, is a hell of
a lot easier, than troubleshooting DEAD
