Drag and drop? - Samsung Captivate Glide

Will the CWM file for CRT listed here work on OsiMood 2.01.30?
That's just minor. The problem is that when I had the Rogers ROM I was able to drag and drop files onto my phone, or "dl", but now, it doesn't pop up that screen that says "open to view files"
Windows 7 32-bit.

What is your level of computer experience? Not trying to be a jerk, just wondering how much you have worked with a PC and/or android phone?
I don't use the Glide on a daily basis, but on my Captivate I generally plug in USB and then on the phone, pull down the notification bar, choose USB, then choose mount or whatever it says. Then on your PC go to Start>Computer and see if it's there.

Heh, good luck with that. Check back here if you still need help.
I was asking about experience because if this is your first Android phone experience, there's a bit of a learning curve with some things. Since the Glide section is still new, I would suggest heading over to the Original Captivate section and reading through some guides. There's a lot of good information there, we've been building on it close to 2 years now hopefully some of that might help.

Hehe, I've got a lonng time with this phone so yes, ill read through that. Any guides there about learning rom making and becoming a Dev?

This section should give you a few months of reading about ROM development. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=613
And here's the original Captivate section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=703

Just recently cleared my cache and data to test out the Cranium ROM, however, now my phone goes undetected for USB in both download AND regular boot
EDIT: Now after going to Wireless and networks..
I can see In my Notificaitons
USB connected
MTP - Connected
But if I tap it my notification just disappears..

To have the pull down usb connection, you need to enable usb debugging.

Or you can just download it from the Market, and run it...
Z4root is down from the market. I don't really about other countries, but here keyword search is showing nothing as Z4root. Can you please check if Z4root is available in your market?

I stand corrected... I just downloaded it from the market about a week ago so I assumed it was still there. It is gone now.
No word on any developers working on ROMs for this thing yet...

I temporarily rooted no problem with z4root, removed tons of Verizon bloatware.

Be careful with that. OTAs may look for all of their bloatware before installing... It could make upgrading to Froyo more difficult.
Can anyone confirm whether the Fascinate Clockwork Recovery works on the Continuum. I read on another forum that it does, but would like some better confirmation before I try it out....
Of course, that doesn't really matter until we get some ROMs going..... Please, devs, we need you....
Continuum ROM
I have the source code from Samsung and would work on a ROM if someone could get me started. This is my first Android and I rooted with Z4. I deleted a bunch of Verizon crap and now am having outgoing text messages not getting to some recipients. I would love a stock ROM.
I came from using the Nexus One. XDA forums for that device were loaded with devs and goodies. I miss all the action and running Cyanogen ROMs.
What ROMs are best for the other Galaxy S devices? I'd offer a small donation to get the ball rolling.

I for some reason cannot root using z4root. Have downloaded it from here and also the Market on the Samsung Continuum and it does not seem to work. After installing and loading, touching permanent/temporary root seems to have no effect. The 'loading' graphic sits there and the app hangs at running the exploit. Sometimes it even locks the phone to the point where I can only get it to respond by pulling out the battery.
USB debugging is enabled on the device running: 2.1-update1
Build number SCH-I400.DJ20
If you need any other info (or if I am missing something) let me know.
It took me a few tries, but I was successful with the temporary root.

HI All,
I posted above about having texting issues after removing bloatware. It turns out that it was the way Google was adding a +1 to my phone numbers. Back to customizing. Z4 worked for me.

Seems to be par for the course with z4. Something randomly done or happens with the phone and by some sort of divine intervention or coincidence it's then rooted.
I also had issues with z4, hardlocked the phone the first time. Second time it FC'd. Third time I was waiting and got a text message. As I was replying to it, z4 popped back up and said rebooting phone. It rebooted and it was rooted.
I actually got it to work after trying and trying and trying. Now to find a Google Quick Search widget that isn't bugged and doesn't stick to the top of the homescreen after clicking on/touching/using it.
Finally got my phone rooted with Z4. Now can't connect to my computer. Gives me the option on whether to use a media card or USB storage. Chose both options (not at same time) and neither worked. Am tempted to remove root as it connected prior to rooting. Has anyone connected after rooting? Any help?
Thanks

Tried it didn't work. Says its rooted already so i hit unroot n then says not rooted i still have all tue power. Reset reinstalled. N had removed z4 while back. There is still a usperuser and can't remove, don't want to hard reset cause the pics settings. Ringtones. And my notifactions. Getting them on was a struggle. Oh well. Thanks.

Use the SuperOneClick for 2.51. It is the only one that works on 3.6.360. I has an issue the forst day it came out. With lots of help from some folks on here, managed to get it rooted. Takes a while, like up to 15-20 minutes in some cases I have heard. Be patient. And the old superuser icon will still be there. After new rooting there should be 2, until first re-boot. Then only 1. Its weird but Igot it to work. Was frustrating and took a while. Good luck.

Well i am new here so please what type of details you need..?
When you plug it in, does anything happen? Does it make a sound from the computer?
Does it show anything in Device Manager?
Are you using the Stock usb cable? Have you tried other cables? Tried all usb ports on the PC?
Have you tried on a different pc?
Wasn't trying to be rude, it just helps us help you when you include any details that you can think of. There can often be several causes to a given issue so it helps us narrow it down early on.
As for your current problem, are you also open to alternatives? Many if us use a wireless transfer app so we don't have to bother plugging in when we want to move a file.
I use FTP Server by Peter Pariet. Very lightweight, not a lot of features, but it does it's job quite well. Just a thought.
Otherwise, have you installed the usb drivers for your device yet? If not, this is why it won't connect.

Sounds like a driver problem. Uninstall then reinstall driver pkg. Reboot, plug in phone and go to device manager. Does it show up there? If it does, or if it shows as unknown, rightclick on it and reinstall drivers from there. Try connecting again.

I agree it sounds like a driver issue. If it still doesn't connect after you re-install, try shutting down your phone and pulling the battery for a few minutes. I had this problem once and this seemed to do the trick.

Gotta be patient man. We don't live here and don't always make it on every day, especially right when people want us to fix their problems. Not tryin to be rude to you, but you should give at a minimum, 24 hours before bumping your question.
I'm assuming you're asking about the driver reinstall, not how to pull the battery?
Uninstall driver pkg.
Plug in and open device manager.
Right click on the device and choose uninstall drivers
Reboot
Reinstall driver pkg
Plug in and try again.

LG-G2 Knock on not working, hidden menu not as described

OK, so just to start, I'm still new to rooting, adb, roms, and all this fun stuff. I rooted my Nexus 5 six months ago because I got bored and just finished rooting my Ouya and putting cm11 on it. I'm not the greatest at this, but I can follow a good tutorial. Which is why, up until now, I've had little to no problems.
My wife has an LG G2 with my super awesome service provider, Sprint... Sprint wants to charge me $150 for this repair. I know it does not cost that much, and my wife does not want to give up her phone.
I'm sure you are all familiar with this problem. There is a section of the screen, about the shape and size of a search box in the top half of the screen, that since the last update, does not function properly, and *knock on* no longer works. I read all over the web, to access the hidden menu by dialing 5689#*980# . Which I did. But there is no option for touch screen test, or update touch screen firmware. LG is no help. Sprint is no help. XDA is my only option. Don't fail me guys and gals.
Oh, and my wife WILL NOT let me root her phone. She has a fully stock LG G2 for Sprint, and after this will hopefully have a fully functional LG G2.
Without root, you won't be able to replace the hidden menu with the Verizon one that does have the proper section to fix that. You may be able to root try the fix and unroot. This way she doesn't know.

Can you believe, after reading this, I thought hmmm, run it by her. I'd have to unlock the bootloader wouldn't I? And unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone. Can't really hide a brand new used phone from her.
I'd have used towelroot while the exploit was still available but alas, the problem wasn't here while towelroot was an option, but with a patch, came a hole.

OK, so I am a fool. I looked up the root method. I never bother before because she had always said "NO!" No matter how much I begged. So using Stump Root, does that reset the device? I feel like a real butt right now.

Lol, she caved. I used stump, and hey, nothing deleted. So her phone is now rooted (surprisingly easy to get her to cave), I download the hiddenmenu.APK and moved it over to the app folder and ran the required adb command in terminal emulator. It did its duty. Nothing changed. When I access the hidden menu, its still the sprint one. Help?

Good news, got it to work. Here is what you need to do.

Here is the hidden menu I used.
From play store grab root browser.
Use it to go to system/app directory. Find hiddenmenu.apk and the .Odex file.
Rename both of the files by putting a 1 at the end. This way you don't lose the original. Now paste the file which is above in the same directory.
Fix permissions to read, write, read, read.
It will look like this.
