So I'm seeing some of you guys talking about using Clockwork to restore old apps/settings... won't that reflash the old firmware, and undo the GPS/media scanning improvements? Also, with Titanium, should I be able to just go in and backup my apps, then restore them after flashing this?
[Captivate Android Development] reno55:
Trying to do this flash for the first time now and got odin to see the phone on com4 and its yellow, I am in download mode with the digging android, I loaded the right files and said start...Odin reported Firmware update start modem.bin but has been sitting here for awhile now.....the screen on my captivate still shows the downloading how long should this take its been a good 3-4 minutes

UPDATE: wow I guess odin is REALLY picky it is progressing now...fingers crossed!
[Captivate Android Development] lost2030:
It got stuck on that part for me too. The only way I got it to progress was by stopping it which partially bricked my phone. Anyway, I had to put a check mark on re-partition for it to work
[Captivate Android Development] reno55:
I did not do repartition just started odin with the phone powered off but plugged into usb and loaded the files then put it into download mode
[Captivate Android Development] DRamer77:
i have a bone stock non rooted captivate.. how do i load this? do i need to root my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Odin doesn't care about stock, root, or anything. Think of this process as wiping out all applications and reinstalling the OS. You are back to square one, which is why you need to back up your system. Once you do this once, you will understand. Just get your phone in download mode, which can be done in a multitude of ways, and get Odin to recognize it. Then you just click start and are done with it (hopefully).
[Captivate Android Development] staySICK:
eep.

connected the phone, launched Odin3, used adb shell to reboot into download mode, I currently have the digging android with the "Do not turn off Target!!!!" warning on my screen.

Odin3 is not recognizing the phone now, saying removed as soon as it rebooted.

help?
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I used Titanium to just install missing apps and data, and it almost got me to full speed. Just had to reenter the email and social networking accounts, reload contacts from SIM, and reenter WiFi network settings.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Sounds like a driver issue. Pull the phone battery to get it out of the download mode and reboot it. Install the proper drivers from the sticky post here, and then try again. May even want to try a different cable and a USB port too. Just fire up Odin with the files loaded, and then make ADB reboot the phone into download mode. Once Windows has the proper drivers for the gadget serial device, Odin should recognize the phone on one of the COM ports.
[Captivate Android Development] DRamer77:
ok im kinda new to this.. im coming from and iphone and trying to learn all about android and how to do alot of this... not quite sure how to go about doing all of this etc.. lol
[Captivate Android Development] staySICK:
yea, I downloaded the samsung galaxy s drivers, and Odin3 recognised afterwards.

Rather strange that the other driver I had downloaded had worked for everything else up until now (samsung android modem drivers specifically for Captivate)

EDIT: Seems to be working now, is at the modem.bin status currently... for over 5 minutes now? I see reno55 had a similar issue, then it started progressing.. hopefully mine does the same. lol

EDIT2: Okay, after waiting over 20 minutes had to do what lost did and force stop, select repartition and start again. Finished rather quickly.

Does it have HSUPA? Has anyone made a voice call?
[Captivate Android Development] sl8125:
then what is the upgrade for? don't make sense.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Is the upload in this one more crippled than the JF6 or the same? If everything works as well or better than JF6, I might try updating for the sake of it.
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
yea I'm waiting for more word on changes and / or what's been improved.

Is JF6 the only one with crippled upload?
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
This could be either an internal test build for ATT to tinker with some things, or it's meant to be a new baseline for new phones sold -- sounds like from the look of things, it isn't meant to be an upgrade for existing users (at least yet).

Interesting they caught on to the USB tethering option. Methinks that their Froyo version will take most of this functionality out too...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
My D/L hit 2900, my upload hit 400... sorry Mario, your HSUPA is in another castle.
[Captivate Android Development] sl8125:
How do you flash the modem file? i want to know if there is a difference. if i not is there a modem file for the JF6 laying around somewhere. If so, please let me know. i really careless for the rest of rom.

I been using JM2 and it works fine. I even prefer more then JM5. Plus i like the samset theme.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Sorry about the total noob question. When I unpack the rar file, there is a tar file, which I know is the JH2 firmware and goes in the PDA box of Odin, but what am I supposed to do with the dll file?
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
Another random question, would there be a way to re-enable the usb tethering?
[Captivate Android Development] KappaG9:
How's the GPS?
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
There is a modem.bin file inside the both the JH2 and JH6 firmware tar files (both have same file size, but different date, if that matters). I suspect you use odin, click in the phone checkbox, and then point to this file to flash it on, but please do not do it based on what I think. I have no personal experience.
[Captivate Android Development] fiendiish:
subscribing to this...I want to know more before I bother though..
[Captivate Android Development] BplusB:
nothing, don't worry about it. Just use the .tar file
[Captivate Android Development] brandonb81:
Is it rootable in the same way? Hopefully this has got the fixed GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] dark42:
This one includes QuickOffice, it's $10 on the market so it's nice to get it for free. I'm sure you can delete it with Titanium Backup if you really don't want it.
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
Did your's not? Mine already came with quick office or is it a demo? I haven't messed with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Bjd223:
If you search the market for Captivate, you can get QuickOffice for free that way too. You have to be on your Captivate (obviously) and using 3G data. Some said it did not work over Wifi.
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
Quickoffice is free to any captivate on the ATT section of the market.
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
Can anyone confirm GPS improvements? More specifically, improvements while moving in a car and using google navigation?
[Captivate Android Development] lost2030:
Now enjoy the awesome battery life!!
[Captivate Android Development] nkd:
Here is what you should, this is how I did it. Take out battery, sim card and memory card if you have one in there, take out the battery too and just put the battery back in the phone after you remove it. Next Plug the usb cord in to the computer, launch Odin(very important) otherwise it might not see your device. Right after you plug in the usb cable hold the Volume up and down button, and you should be in download mode, and odin should recognize the device. Feel free to flash the device. I had to launch odin and then put it in download mode while it was plugged in the computer.
[Captivate Android Development] The Bishop:
Man I don't know why that works and the adb doesn't, but danged if doing your steps exactly didn't work. Odin is a finicky God. :D
[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
Im new to this, so I downloaded the .tar file and 512 file and Odin3 from the first page. then i load them then im getting stuck at" file analysis" and nothing else happens. I bricked the the phone but im still able to get to the download mode OK. When I open Odin and load the files then connect the phone in the download mode I get COM5 in Odin so I think odin is detecting the phone fine but for the life of me i cant get passed this file analysis thing. Am I missing any files to load in Odin? like CSC or PHONE? I checked repartition and master reset and no go. i need to unbrick my phone.:(:(

Again im getting to the download mode just fine ( pressing both volume keys then inserting the USB cable -- I get the green android guy with shovel saying " downloading now".
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
Do you have to be on stock to do this? I have rooted and removed bloatware so I don't want to crash my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Applied ryan ext2 but no change in quadrant score. Anyone have any luck with other lag fixes.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Does this have the AT&T startup animation? (The 3G bars flame one)

I'd presume that it also does not differentiate between "H" 3.5G and regular 3G, right?

And does it use the TouchWiz from the American ROM or the numbered one from the European I9000 ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] bjabah:
I'm running this lag fix with the new firmware.

Quadrant scores are 960'ish. I ran the ext3 fix on the old firmware and scored in the 1458 range. New firmware and fix above real world experience is just as fast as ext3 fix on old firmware if not faster even tho it scores lower. I'm finding I don't trust the quadrant scores as several others have determined.

[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
Thanks, I will give that one a try again. Had it on previous ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I'm not quite sure if you are saying it did work or did not.
[Captivate Android Development] The Bishop:
Sorry. That's the Texan in me speaking. It worked exactly when I followed your steps, otherwise no dice. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I thought that's what you meant, but wasn't sure

Glad it worked.
[Captivate Android Development] The Bishop:
when I try to chown root.root it says that user is not found or something to that effect. Everything else works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
I have no problem with root.root but can't use cp command. cp command is not available on my phone for some reason. And it is not necessary to perform that step anyway.

And this is a warning to those who flashed to this firmware: you must perform the above steps to disable the log. I have tried my phone for 4 days and the GPS log took up about 1 GB of internal storage (there is only 2GB total internal storage available) already. If your internal storage is full, you will have serious problems.
[Captivate Android Development] The Bishop:
Well, once I got it on here it's actually worse than the JF6 one that I had (which was pretty abysmal itself). Standing out in the middle of the road with no trees and no clouds (it's Texas after all) and I can't get any more than I did inside the house. I'm going to take it back and wait until (if?) Samsung fixes this and the lag (I could get that resolved in JF6 but oddly enough it won't work on JH2 after using the unleashthebeast vs the other more generic one.) Oh well, such a great phone otherwise. I will lurk until then :)

btw, this forum rocks.

EDIT: ok, I'm too hardheaded to just quit. I reflashed to JF6 and then back to JH2 and used the older tried and true root, then used the .NET ext2/3 installer and so far so good. BTW, put my iPhail 3GS next to my Captivate and it's getting about the same lock right now so perhaps it's the solar flare thingy I read about.
[Captivate Android Development] contentryder:

Anybody able to use Wifi in the market and any other apps that require data like the News and Weather app from Unleash the beast? I could of swore I was able to use the wifi in the market on my original ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] The Bishop:
Well the only thing that consistently isn't working is the chown root.root (my phone says that person doesn't exist or some such, and when I do a whoami is says that I'm unknown userid 0).

Will that make it fail I wonder?
[Captivate Android Development] rojkai:
I take this back. My wifi is completely broken after flashing to this rom and using Unleash the Beast. Can't surf the market, the internet, nothing. Any ideas/settings I forgot to check?
[Captivate Android Development] weav2k4:
Doubtful unless ownership is truly not already root, but you can try to do a "chown 0.0 jupiter.xml" as that will do the same as root.root. If memory serves the file already had proper ownership when I tried to assign it.

I have seen where root.root and system.system give me errors but if I assign by number it works fine.

You should see the following on a ls -l jupiter.xml command:

ls -l jupiter.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 [B]0[/B] [B]0[/B] 12573 Aug 14 00:26 jupiter.xml

those two 0's denote proper root ownership.

hope that help ya..
[Captivate Android Development] XorZone:
thanks man. Mine indeed was corrupted by texteditor.
[Captivate Android Development] candymann:
For those of you that used one of the lag fixes on the old rom, are you still seeing the need for lag fixes on this one?

I've seen a couple comments saying that it seems like the lag wasn't quite as noticable with this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Clinteger:
I was having this problem, too. If you go to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi settings -> [menu button] Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy, setting it to "Never" seemed to fix the problem. I rebooted and now it's working fine for me.

Hope it fixes it for you too?

So, I've gotten it installed...but I'm not seeing any improvements in GPS or speed. Though I never had any problems with lagging (application, button, or otherwise) with stock on my phone.

Wifi dhcp netmask

I've got a similar problem with wifi but it only happens at work. It seems the DHCP assigned netmask is incorrect. If you get OS Monitor from the market and look at your wifi connection and see a 255.255.0.0 netmask then you're probably going to have issues. I used GScript and issued this command to fix it (while wifi is connected):

busybox ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0

This fixes it until phone puts wifi to sleep, so you'll need to run it every time phone comes out of sleep. I've only seen this on captivate roms. The I9000 roms I've tried do not have this issue. Hopefully Samsung gets this next in the next release.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
It seems to be an unleash the beast issue, and not a Samsung issue. I don't have unleash the beast, and my WiFi has always worked.
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
I had NAND lag fix, then flashed new JH2 then unleash the beast.

No wifi problems at home.

Lag fix with NAND again but no change in quadrant. Not sure if lag fix stuck from previous ROM.

lag that I see is scrolling, doesn't seem smooth. But this happens with browsers and long lists. Mange just expecting too much from my phone.

Not a lag problem in apps moving from screen to screen.

Anyhow, love the phone. Much faster than my Treo 750.
[Captivate Android Development] benclayton:
Is there any way at all for me to get this build's browser.apk from someone? I'm desperate.

IT policy enforcement

Has anyone run into a problem with consistency of password recognition when there IT policy enforcement is turned on and you sync with your corporate exchange server?

I believe that the phone password recognition fails after the third time you turn on the phone - and it erases your phone data. I can't be sure, but it happened to me today after entering the same password (that worked yesterday) 8 times. Thank goodness for a ROM backup!!

You can invalidate it in the settings.db\security location - but the Exchange server reset's it every couple of hours.

Update-----

Flashed to H3, problem went away. Hmmmmm.
[Captivate Android Development] jhannaman82:
I have the same problem on enterprise Cisco APs. I dont believe its a subnet mask/dhcp issue. As all my settings are manual. And yea I use known good addresses from our static pool and test the exact settings on every other wifi device. There is a big problem with the galaxy S on Cisco APs. It's straight up broken. Ive had this wifi network with over 100 APs deployed for over 6 years, and this is the first issue ive encountered. Ive tested 3 new captivates, stock. No Go. :mad:

[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
I ran this ROM while visiting family in Tulsa over the weekend. We made extensive use of my GPS, which I left alone, until my log files filled up the phone. Then we used my wife's Captivate, which is stock with the supl tweaks etc applied until I was able to root and follow the instructions to turn off logging. Thanks weav2k4!

GPS worked great on my phone (as far as I can tell; my wife was holding the phone while I drove). On hers we had some issues where it would initially think we were somewhere else due to using the cell towers and then would figure out our real location to provide accurate driving directions.

The only gripes I have with the GPS on this ROM are Google Navigate issues, not GPS positioning issues.

The Bell Vibrant i9000m just got a JH2 firmware released. It was OTA for some, but samsung-firmwares also released it this afternoon. It's possible that Captivate JH2 is totally different than the Bell Vibrant JH2, but if not, we may have another batch of developers that may be able to tackle the last big issue for me, missing market apps.

Okay, I read through EVERY page of this. Interesting stuff... Is there a way to just pull the drivers for the gps out and install them over stock ROM? I know it was mentioned once out of like 45 pages... But it seems like that would be an easier fix. If it works, that is. Any ideas/suggestions/instructions?
[Captivate Android Development] nkd:
GPS IS NOT FIXED, for some it might be, mine worked for a day and today my way back fro a drive for an hour it didn't connect and then suddenly when I parked in my drive way it connected to 4 sattelites. I left it on the whole drive and it did not connect. Where a day before after initial lock it would lock in less then 10 seconds. I just think this rom is a debug rom and no where any close to the final gps fix. They are probably logging data to see the results.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
Check the i9000 forum, thread titled 'GPS problem, poll'. Someone pulled the driver and prepared a update.zip for updating the driver only. Not sure if that will work for Captivate stock ROM.

I also recovered my old firmware using ROM manager and ClockworkMod Recovery but it still says I have JH2? Why?

[Captivate Android Development] dontshakepandas:
Did you turn off the gps logging? If not, this could explain the issues you are having if you are using the gps at all.

Also, if you want to flash back to JF6 you will have to use odin to do that. Once you are back to JF6 then you can use rom manager to restore your backup.
