Pick your poison, thats the link from samfirmware.com
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
True. I'll flash it just to say I have froyo for a minute though.... LOL!
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
I'm downloading now, I don't believe it's Froyo though. We'll see, I hope I'm wrong!
[Captivate Android Development] masterofthebass:
thanks. the link I saw was only rapidshare :/
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Been waiting all day for something fun to flash. To bad I'm omw to work. 10 hours and counting
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
Look at it this way, by the time you get a chance to flash you'll know if it's worthwhile.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
SRE on the way!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah hopefully this build doesn't screw with your EFS data =P I already backed the files up *just* in case

Also for anyone trying this, make sure you snag your phones unlock code JUST in case before applying this. Don't take any chances
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
I have dual downloads going.... who makes it first? Can't wait to get home.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Samsung-Firmware (oops Samfirmware) says that this is a 2.2 ROM. We need a guinea-pig. Paging Zilch25 :)
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
SWEET! I was just thinking. Too bad Froyo is in the wild but all the cool hacks have to start all over.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Lol this sucker was downloading literally 10 seconds after I saw the post

116MB out of 190. SLOWEST 15 MINUTES EVER
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
Bah! I'm still below 100mb.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I have been flashed for about 5min :P
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Flashing in progress....
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I am downloading as well.. only 70k/sec - Whats the worst that can happen, use odin 1 click?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
150... not to rub it in :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If it modifies your EFS data like the last international froyo did 1 click won't touch it.

If you're rooted use adb and copy your /efs/nv_data.bin and /efs/nv_data.bin.md5 files to a safe location so you can restore them if necessary.

Or use root explorer
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
WOOT! Catching up, 153 right now.

[Captivate Android Development] sniperdude88:

[Captivate Android Development] F_L_Abs:
Downloading using Megaupload and DownThemAll at 550-600kB/s =D

Hoping for some good results!!!
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
At first I was going to say "God Bless You".. but realized it is pure hatred, not a sneeze :D
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I see.. @ work so I can't mess with rooting the phone right now.. I'll wait for you guys to flash first :)
[Captivate Android Development] glio1337:
The most exciting part about this is that this pretty much confirms that 2.2 final truly is coming soon and is not a Samsung Myth or an end of 2010 release.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I have been messing with this for about 10min now, I can't even get it to boot, the video freaks out at the ATT screen =/

You Are Awesome!!!

[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
Im remote desktoping from work to download the rom and get all the files ready for flash night :D:D
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
oh oh that's not good...:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I dont even get an AT&T screen =P
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
well this makes me sad
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Right now I'm trying it again using that pit file from the HK froyo build and that version of Odin... who knows =P
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
I'm having trouble getting this to flash. I've tried several times and the screen keeps going pink or blue in the middle of the flash. Just got it to flash JH3 again, so now I'm going to retry JH7.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Hope dimming.

How about flashing i9000 JPC PDA then the kernel from this ROM. Any luck?
[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
^ Crapola.

/Well, at least Im less upset at the drag-ass download speeds after hearing that.

//Im sure someone will unlock the magic soon.

///Good luck. We're all counting on you.

ya, dont flash it guys, its broken.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Arrrrrrrrrrrgh what a tease
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
the cleanest way to do would be is to Use ODIN 1 click and go back to stock ATT version and then try flashing this build , cant try this one yet i am stuck at work :(

but generally whenever i flash the I9000 ROMS i generally go back to stock and try flashing
[Captivate Android Development] F_L_Abs:
Aww >.<

Oh well... It'll come sooner than later
[Captivate Android Development] iLoki:
/sadface :(
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
They were serious about it not being tested huh? Apparently they didn't even put it on a single phone?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
at least there's a 2.2 kernel out there that can be looked at?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I know I don't know as much as you do but this is very interesting that a test ROM made for the captivate gives these kinds of problems. I would think it would at least boot up...I wouldn't think you would have to piece together different parts form different ROM's..Maybe you need to flash back to the stock JF6 ROM and then flash this...just a thought.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Well, I am going to deodex the system folder and post it :)
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Yeah, it shows the AT&T logo then the screen goes kinda greenish black with lines through it. No good. Time to rip it apart though.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
they were in the process of testing it after they posted it: http://twitter.com/SamFirmware/status/22735013348

and once they realized there was a problem, they pulled it
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Already in the process of trying that, but it's a very faint glimmer of hope
[Captivate Android Development] maerlim:
Note for future reference, the next post with a Froyo download link should come with a defibrillator. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] BigJayDogg3:
EDIT: Ignore.

Subscribed.
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
Gimme a minute, I'll try extracting the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] [[ Cold ]]:
will inform in first post
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I rarely see you on the Captivate forums, but I always hear good news when I do
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
Well... That's too bad. Hey, that should mean it's coming very soon at least.
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
atleast we can try this kernel with the JPC froyo Rom eh?
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
Ha ha, yeah I'm fairly busy at work but I try to contribute when I can.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
the kernel is probably whats messing it up
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Mighta been a bad upload. Dont lose faith :-P
[Captivate Android Development] SetiroN:
I don't know about you, but to me if this JH7 is what Samsung's actually at on Sept. 1st, a final release in the beginning of this month sounds more unlikely than it did two hours ago. :p
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
then probably we should try and flash I9000 2.2 kernel andd see if it atleast boots :)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
More info in this build

http://twitter.com/SamFirmware/status/22737204485
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Samsung never said anything about FroYo at the beginning of September. They said done on all networks by the end of the month.
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
Just tried JP3 with the Captivate 2.2 Kernel. No luck, same scrambled AT&T screen as before. Us Captivate owners can't catch a break.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
What does that mean?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Stuck a stock kernel on there, obviously it errored out but it's saying

assert failed: getprop{"ro.product.device") == "GT-P1000"

does that a couple more times and lists off a couple other product names, one of them being

SGH-I987... no sign of I897 though- if you check the name of the tarball it's the same, soooooo- what.
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
how about other way round I9000 JPC kernel with this new Captivate Froyo ROm

wish i could try it but i am at work :(
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Compared to Vibrant, the page for which you can't even access on SamFirmware any more, and when you could, it only had the stock build, we at least got JH2, JH3 and a drop of FroYo. You could be still waiting out in the cold for a Fascinate or Epic to even show up on the list of phones, so I am not going to cry.
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
Oh I highly doubt they'll have it out by the beginning of the month. Quite frankly I don't care when Samsung releases it "Officially" I'm more interested in the ability for aftermarket ROM's, which, if this can be fixed, or gets updated soon, we'll have froyo in a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
are you flashing with the 512 pit file? is there a different pit file to flash with?
[Captivate Android Development] SetiroN:
I know, me too, i was just sayin'.

And I didn't either imply that Samsung ever promised something at the beginning of the month as somebody else said: it was a joke, take it for what it is without reading through the lines. :)
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
No dice using the JP3 kernel with the JH7 update The phone just sits at the Galaxy S screen.
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
thats crazy guess we just have to wait for the next Froyo build :(
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah I tried JPC, same thing, log cat spits out:

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
asked Samfirmware if we would get another build soon this is the answer i got

"SamFirmware: @anilkuj i think this is a PIT problem all new 2.2 roms have those problems..."

http://www.twitter.com/SamFirmware/status/22737858065

i asked them that I9000 froyo dint have similar issues and this was their answer

"SamFirmware: @anilkuj XXJPC have this problem to. thats why we also skip this from our site."

http://www.twitter.com/SamFirmware/status/22738228408

so now my question is , is there anyway anyone can fix this ? or do we just have to wait for another build, then how did the JPC froyo work in ODIN finally ?
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
The tar file is missing dbdata.rfs and param.lfs, just FYI. I don't know what param.lfs is, but dbdata.rfs is obviously the stock dbdata directory. I'd say we'd be best getting that from an I9000 2.2 ROM rather than a Captivate 2.1 ROM. param.lfs I don't have any idea about. But then of course that's assuming the kernel even works, which I have my doubts. Plus if we need a PIT file or not.
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
Richthofen repackaged the JPC build to make it work with ODIN ,

according to samfirmware JPC build has similar issues and thats the reason they skipped that build,

sent a PM to Richthofen asking him what he did to make JPC work with ODIN

lets see if this gets anywhere.
[Captivate Android Development] Richthofen:
Guys, did anyone actually check the filename you were downloading?

It is not a mislabeled I897 (Captivate), but a I987 (Captivate Tablet) release.

It is Froyo yes, but it is not supposed to work on Captivate.

The hardware is different.

Sure I can repack the release for Odin, but that does not change the situation :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hahahahahaha! I freaking knew it. Guess that explains why when I tossed on the captivate kernel it attempted to load files for the I987 (also why the tarball was named I987)
[Captivate Android Development] Fortune090:
I thought the tablet was p1000? Correct me if I'm wrong...
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
I did notice the naming difference, but didn't know if it was a typo or what. I haven't heard of an I987 before. Everything that pulls up in Google for "samsung i987" is just a typo for I897.

I definitely wondered the same myself though.
[Captivate Android Development] Richthofen:
GT-P1000 in EMEA (Europe, Middle-East, Africa), SGH-I987 in North America (AT&T).
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
so does anyone think this might be the firmware for an AT&T specific Galaxy Tab? The generic one may use a different firmware/hardware revision (just like the i9000/i897) than the AT&T one (assuming it comes to AT&T).

It recently went through the FCC with 850/1900 MHz frequencies as well as CDMA options.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Siiiiiiiigh hysteria brought on by dyslexia :(
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
haha, just dumped the factoryfs.rfs and found that out as well
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Oh samsung firmwares, why have you gotten my hopes up just to dash them again. As restitution you are required to produce a REAL I897 Froyo firmware, even if you have to take a Samsung coder hostage and force him to write it on the spot!
[Captivate Android Development] anarche:
Back to square one waiting for Froyo :(. On the bright side...this is good news for all the people that are hoping for a Tab on AT&T's network.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
His twitter also said that they've got a tablet froyo firmware out tonight too.. makes me wonder if he got a firmware for the international one and a firmware for the AT&T model and then got a bit dyslexic with the Captivate model number
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
not sure what this means

http://twitter.com/SamFirmware/status/22742453875
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
@SamFirmware: Samsung I897 Captivate 2.2 I897UCJH7 is not the official rom it says Test Keys.

This is a tweet from them
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
@SamFirmware: Samsung Captivate Android 2.2 Firmware I897UCJH7 ONLINE!!! (NOTE WE HAVEN'T TEST THIS FIRMWARE!)

And before that one.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
He's asking his insider samsung source if he can get hooked up with some new pit files- assuming that's the problem. I don't think he's caught on to the fact that he uploaded firmware for the wrong device =P
[Captivate Android Development] tubaboy26:
just tweeted about I987

I just tweeted samfirmware about the "typo" will let you know if I get a reply
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
i just tweeted them asking if they just got the wrong firmware ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
What a downer :( I was freaking out for a minute there.

Still hoping for a Captivate release tonight! I like the theory that he mixed up the releases and he'll put the Captivate one on as the tablet!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hahahaha god willing. But that's some seriously looney tunes esq shenanigans right there.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Does anyone have a link to the samsung firmware website that works?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:

[Captivate Android Development] tikidroid:
Hopefully this was a mix up and they do have 2.2 for the cappy i897.

This is to subscibe to this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] h_22_accord:
hahaha, i didnt flash it but i downloaded the file and didnt even pay attention. i did what everybody else did and got excited when i saw....... froyo froyo froyo....lol
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Today, thanks to samfirmware.com a part of me has died. I will never be the same... until they COUGH UP A LEGIT I897 FROYO :D

I seen this post up on samfirmware this morning and got super excited, glad I didn't get my hopes up too high tho now.

[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's where it was... before they removed the link. It's been that way since yesterday. I'd imagine it's going to stay there too :( But don't get your hopes up for this thing coming, all signs point to dyslexia on samfirmware's part
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
whats this jh8 on their site?!?!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:

[Captivate Android Development] Dre363:
So has no one tried to flash P1000XXJH8 rom with odin to their i897 yet?
[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
looks like the linky has been removed.
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
This thread makes me a sad panda
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Damn! They removed the entire row from the table. :-(

I was holding on to hope that they were going to post a new download for the firmware.
[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
same....

i must have hit refesh about 300 times yesterday :o

all my hopes and dreams were crushed. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
samfirmware twitter says:

SGH-I987 Is this the Galaxy Tab of AT&T?

17 minutes ago via web

I think he's figured it out :D
[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
bwahahah :D

so what's the closest we can get to a bugless froyo right now? i'm a flash-aholic and i'm going through withdrawls...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
The Hong Kong JP2 has been the best one for me so far- but it's still not too great. Additional benefits include having to stumble through menus until you can convert it from Chinese to English though. It's like choose your own adventure, except no matter what you do you're going to get blue-balls
[Captivate Android Development] ajayendra:
Really don't want to quit on the Captivate and go back to my Nexxi...Captivate has real good hardware and looks nice as well...but with no Froyo in sight, I might as well.

Surprising why Samsung is like 4-5 months behind riding the Froyo Bandwagon...

Haven't heard anything from Cyanogen as well :(...I mean Cyan averages one build/month... which is great but I am not sure if I can wait another month for Cyan 6.1...(and we don't even know if Vibrant support = Captivate support on 6.1)...

Someone give me some hope!!
[Captivate Android Development] gunnyman:
bailing on a platform less than 2 months old? I say have patience.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Well... the supercurio lagfix will make your phone fly, and that should be coming out pretty soon for Captivate. As for Froyo I doubt we'll see anything substantial till the end of the month at best (it will most likely be a beta if anything) and we probably won't see mass distribution until October/November.

I base this on my own speculation from watching the development progress of the international Froyo ROMS- they've been cracking at that a whole long longer and they *still* don't have it right yet.

Baffling how they're cramming it onto the tablets though...
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Anyone know if designgears is planning on implementing the supercurio Lag fix in his SRE?
[Captivate Android Development] ajayendra:
yep...good point...but for me "impatience" was the virtue which brought me into this forum :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
We know Unhelpful is working with supercurio to port it to Captivate, and we know how fast designgears is to integrate things into SRE. I would be surprised if it were anything less than a simultaneous release :)
[Captivate Android Development] ajayendra:
Yep thats what (tablet froyo) not making sense...maybe this is more political than actual development at thier (Samsung) end.
[Captivate Android Development] nammyczc:
Patience young padawan android is samsungs top priority right now.
[Captivate Android Development] akachay:
with lagfix, i'm pretty happy speed wise. my only problem with my cappy is signal strenght fluctuations and no signal. is this a permanent problem? i hope it's a software glitch and froyo would come to the rescue. even on "E" i get 2 to 0 bar in places that i go while my old buddy blackjack2 is solid on "E" and 2+ bars on "3G". any info on this issues?
[Captivate Android Development] ajayendra:
I don't have any signal issues as such (knock on wood)...well with all the phones I have had experience with, Captivate is actually a tiny bit better.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yeah I don't have any signal issues either..maybe flash back to stock and see if it still is a problem, if so I say do an exchange for a new one as it could be a hardware issue..
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Agreed, I don't have any issues with my reception either, and that's coming from both a stock Captivate modem and several other ones cribbed from other firmware releases.
[Captivate Android Development] GuitsBoy:
Took him a while but samfirmware finally figured it out...

/Thanks for that...
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
coming from a Dream (G1), I was waiting for samsung to get to 2.2. I was considering taking the leap this evening after reading this but I have a question-- Does 2.2 work on a stock Captivate? Can I flash straight from stock AT&T to the Samsung release? Are there any drawbacks? Anything not work right? I have read through 8 pages of this thread that lead me to believe it is pretty much good to go, however there are a few that leave me skeptical. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ps- please give me a reason to leave the dream :)

pss- since the captivate forum is so jumbled with stuff, if I did go to captivate tonight and wanted to root it what is the best method- as there seems to be umpteen threads on how to do it that all appear different. Once rooted, what would you suggest? Which lag fix is better than another- again since there are so many different flavors. OR would this ROM from Samsung not even need those things? Any help would be appreciated, even if just links for me to read. :)
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Wow really...If you read through the thread and you think this is good to go then I suggest you reread and understand the this is not for the captivate it is for the samsung android tablet...
[Captivate Android Development] malfuncion:
yeah really... thanks for clarification. I skimmed the first few pages as they were mostly people just saying they were flashing, to the last few pages that said signal quality is good yatta yatta. As critical as your post is- it actually did help someone who isnt even on a samsung platform at all. Thanks for helping in a round about way..

nwo if only my other questions could be answered as easy. The search function yields endless amounts of blah that seem to point me in quite a few different directions.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Well if you were to buy a Captivate I would suggest the you check out the SRE thread it will root, overclock your cpu and remove a bunch of AT&T bloatware and also enable Mobile AP for wireless and usb tethering..As for the lag fix there are many like you said but I am using the one in this post...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765822 Either way you go I don't think you will be disappointed in the Captivate...
[Captivate Android Development] rkorzuch:

[Captivate Android Development] rrrrramos:
I found the best method to be using SuperRooterExtreme. I personally flashed the JH3 firmware before rooting and then loaded SRE, but it works in all firmwares so there shouldn't be a need to change. It also adds in a lot of stuff all at once, and should be one if the first few posts after the stickies in this forum. Hth!
