[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellagd:
Hello all-

This is my first post here, so go easy on me :P

Well, I am Samsung captivate user on AT&T. I am currently running 2.2 rooted. My question: Should I upgrade to AT&T's gingerbread and try to root in there, or should I just pull the trigger and go to Cyanogenmod?

It seems rooting in 2.3 is not the simple SuperOneClick that it was for 2.2, and rooting with odin actually seems MORE complicated that flashing CM7 (And I guess more risky with multiple kernel flashes, yada yada yada). I am just thinking the less steps, the safer it probably is.

I am also liking all of the features of Cyanogenmod, epically the gesture app launching from the unlock screen.

In this How-to, the guy says to download the latest nightly build. Will it work the same if I choose the 7.1 stable release (I'm going for having whatever option I choose to be my daily use (I'm not gonna be flashing ROMs every month or week)):

I'd like to post it as a link, but xda is hating me and thinks I want to spam them (:D) so it is youtube at watch?v=iBPu-GqM9RE

What do you guys think?

PS I'm pretty sure you can, but using Titanium backup you can just "restore" all your apps just like that, correct?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
If you are still on 2.2 you are way behind the curve.

There are some things you need to know. CM7 is a great ROM but is going to be replaced eventually by CM9 as everything is progressing towards Ice Cream Sandwich based ROMs. Gingerbread is an easy upgrade done through kies even with your rooted phone. It will flash the gingerbread bootloaders that are necessary to flash all gingerbread and some Ice Cream Sandwich based ROMs. Also, if you do choose to go to gingerbread, the kernel flashing process to root is very safe and very straight forward.

Lastly, I highly suggest getting away from a stock rom and flashing a custom ROM. It will make your phone feel like a new device compared to a stock ROM of any build. And yes, you can restore with Titanium Backup but remember to only restore the apps not the data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellagd:
Ive seen multiple guides for the stock gingerbread on captivate rooting.

Could you please point me towards the right one? I wanna make sure I dont try something outdated, wrong, ect. :)

Also, even if I choose to go to CM9 in the near future, should I still upgrade to the stock gingerbread right now and root? Will staying on 2.2 rooted make the CM9 flash easier ( I don't have clockworkmod recovery yet, if that matters ) or will having the 2.3 stock on it make the entire process easier?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexthunder:
From 2.2 Stock you can flash directly to CM9 without changing your boot loader to Gingerbread. That will put you straight to ICS 4.0.3. However your first step is to install CWM. But yes definitely get away from stock!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellagd:
So there is no advantage to going to stock 2.3 in terms of flashing CM9 (start to finish)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
Here is the thread on how to root gingerbread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21375771

Cm9 as well as most all ice cream sandwich roms are still in beta phases so keep that in mind. If you absolutely have to have 100 percent reliability then a beta ROM is not for you.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capefearless:
+1 to everything they said in posts above.

The only thing I would add is that while the CM9 build is beta (alpha actually) it is VERY stable. Many folks, myself included, use it a our daily driver with no real issues.

In any event, by all means, get off of stock and onto CM. You'll love it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellagd:
Heres another thought, what is the chance that I will brick my phone, honestly, so bad it really stays just a brick?

I am just scared, as I have another 10 months till I could even consider a phone upgrade and I like the fancy android phone I have now!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
If you follow the instructions then chances are pretty low. Just make sure to read and read again. Ask before you go too far. The safest way I say is to use kies to upgrade to gingerbread because that flashes the bootloaders for you. Then you can go anywhere you want from there. That is if you want to go the gingerbread route.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
You will only get a true brick if you fail during a bootloader flash. Most other "bricks" aren't really bricks at all, and can be easily recovered if you can get into download or recovery, which is usually the case.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shreeyashattal:
So last night I checked on kies for the rumored march 1 Ics update.. Instead It showed an update to lb 2. Either way I updated it.. N frankly I see no changes a such between la5 and lb 2.

Also what is the point in releasing two firmwares within 15 days when Ics is set to roll just around the corner! Samsung ahold rather relocate this workforce at ics visions and make it launch sooner. I've read around the forum and I read no complaints by anyone with la 5. Why release frequent minor updates when major is set to hit soon?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I think you are too optimistic about major ICS update soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Need not to have changes visual, if you want to say update means adding/removing application, then it is not true.

Have you marked what change in Modem?

How many application have change / modified for behaviour? there are lots of application have trigger with certain action, e.g. some application runs with connectivity change, power stat change and more. So that change log you can't see visually, but ultimately it improved android system performance, battery perfiormance, ROM management.

And yeah, all updates are voluntary.:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] j_tag:
Yeah also waiting for the official ics update.. But are a little pessimistic about the update happening soon.. I recall that samsungsaid that they first gona relesa the official for the sgs2 and after that to the note. And last info about the official update for sgs2 is set at Mars/may.. :/ i hope im wrong. .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anilisanil:
While I empathize with your eagerness to get an ICS update (I myself am eager too) its too presuming to dismiss an update as pointless. I am sure there is more than what meets the eyes.

BTW I flashed the MIDNOTE ICS update. Its working fine for me so far and I am already loving the ICS :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shreeyashattal:
i see your point, however must add, it would be better if the updates were spaced evenly, in order to incorporate maximum changes in a single update. This would be better for both. the customer and samsung saving update related issues like say bricking... probably pointless is not the word..

and for ics, with la5 and lb2 rolling out at this time, i fear ics isnt gonna make it until next month.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
"at this time" here this time is decided by us, not samsung, as samsung have never announce a date of release. You should not 'fear' but should 'strongly believe' that ICS for india is not on the way at least for couple of months.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Final5k:
Well Samsung is not updating all Notes, I am still on KKA/XEU - you guys should be happy to get official OTA update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
I agree. I dont think we will see a ICS upgrade in India before May-June 2012. If it happens by then, I will be happy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Koguchi9:
Well you can't satisfy everyone. Too less updates ppl complain, too frequent updates ppl complain. I for one am happy there are more GB updates coming. Shows Samsung cares for their user base. Sure ics is coming but that doesn't mean they can't tweak GB more in the mean time. Btw Samsung never set a hard date for the arrival of isc, it's mostly fan speculation and I think your 1st of march was way too hopeful.

As the doc said, updating is optional and not forced upon at least :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mserica513:
My apologies if this is the wrong area to post. I'm not sure where else to look but Google has not helpful. I have a Droid Razr running rooted 2.3.6 verizon version 6.12.173. I rooted using motofail, quick and simple root. Issue is I cant use wifi tether. I've tried 3 different programs and when I try to connect my computers to the wifi, I'm unable to pull an ip, on my ipad, a friends iphone, my mac book, my win 7 laptop and my win 7 desktop with a wireless usb adapter. Same on all 3 programs, using authentication or not. Good ole 169 ip.. cant get out. HOWEVER if I connect my ipad via bluetooth to my Razr I can surf. Not using the Bluetooth option in the wifi tether apps, but tuning on bluetooth on my phone and my ipad, pairing then connecting and then I'm able to surf. I mean thats cool and all, but its slow, real slow, extremely slow. How can I get my wifi tether to work? Any suggestions? Thanks

Sorry for stupid 'noob' question but I have flashed about 4 or so different ROMs so far and know what to do on that end, should I just stick to the custom ROMs or can I play with kernels and what to look for also with this radio '20.2811.30.085AU_3805.09.03.27_M' is this the radio that I should have put in awhile ago to keep my InS up to date?

Sorry:(
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Radios are always a mystery. Once in a while people find new radio version from new RUU/OTA but you can never find any official words on them. So all you can do is flash them and see if there's any difference. But worse still, some difference/enhancement might be carrier specific.

Personally, I found 3822.11.08.29 and later versions are best for my case.
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
Sorry one more question for now ;), can the above radio that you suggested work with most ROMs or even AOSP ics ROMs and do you have a link to that radio cuz I can't seem to find that exact one also is the a link to 'how to' on installing radios cuz I don't have the tools on my desktop com to do it the way that is explained about 'adb' but I am S-OFF and full Clock Work Modded lol

Search works really well when you have issues

I have to say If I had a dollar for every time I see update issues like these I would be RICH!!!!! Use the XDA search feature. Its a new technology that allows you to pull data from many other users that have had these type of issues.

OK RANT OVER.

Here is cause #1 (maybe not for all of you) but for 90% of the users that have seen this issue this will happen when you root your device and change any system files, uninstall asus apps and so forth.

Cause #2: You unlocked your bootloader

To Resolve Cause #1: Restore you system files and apps that were changed or removed.

1. For users that backed them up just restore them

2. For users that deleted its a little more difficult:

- Goto Asus's website and download the same version upgrade file that you are running.

- Put the file on your micro SD card (unzipped of course)

- Reboot your device

- Update (if on the root of your SD card correctly) will be detected.

- Let it run and reboot.

- Once done you will be restored and can take further OTA updates.

To Resolve Cause #2: Wait for developers to create roms with the current update.

Hello all,

I have been looking for a while to find a good matrix boot animation. I have searched for quite some time, but none really looked or worked the way I wanted them to. I was looking for one that started with a single line of code dropping from the screen. As it hits the middle/bottom a few more would drop, and then progressively the screen would fill with "raining code." All of the ones I have used have just been a wall of the code falling and it didn't progress the way I wanted them to. Adding the typical sound, or Morpheus saying Welcome to the real world, would be added awesomeness. If anyone could point me in the right direction for something similar I would greatly appreciate it. I understand it may mean some customization and creation, and understand if it can't be done. I thank you for your time reading this post already.
