Was ECLAIR now ECLAIR.UCJH7. Just got done with the flash and didn't get around to really trying anything. Need to clear all that extra "shtuff" from the phone...
[Captivate General] swedishcancerboi:
I now consider my efforts all day as an epic failure. I don't think I accomplished anything other than knowing that it won't work and I need some dev help. I've got the download, but can't find it. I postponed it. I know it won't work, but i'm going to try it again anyway, after a reboot. Good Luck guys. I need some dinner.

PM me if I can help in anyway.
[Captivate General] iamcgn:
Grats on post 500... IMO the biggest accomplishment to come out of the JH7 update!
[Captivate General] EricEnder:
just want to put my 2 cents in:

I updated this morning with a rooted stock ROM w/ one click lag fix and the update went just fine.

The media scanning improvement = I notice nothing

GPS Improvement = Yes, it locks a location within 10 secs assuming I'm outside or near a window; obviously won't lock if you're slightly inside.

I haven't tried driving around though...
[Captivate General] zeddock:
That was helpful to me. Would you mind using LauncherPro to get into the LbsTestMode and give us those settings? It is quite a bit of info, but I think it might be important for those who have updated but do not have good working GPS yet.

Thanx,

zeddock
[Captivate General] grave101:
Anyone fine a way to fix the no updates issue? I've tried over and over and still am getting it
[Captivate General] zelendel:
This is what I have as well With the leaked version of jh7
[Captivate General] sridhar618:
Yup forgot to mention...I never used odin or anything..mine is as stock as it comes. And I never got the update just the communication error but still getting the youtube parse error.

oh btw what was the kernel before all this mayhem started on the stock rom?? I see 2.6.29 jataek.lee@sep-11 #2...was this the kernel on the stock??
[Captivate General] NYCJOE:
I've installed it. How do I use LbsTestMode (no idea what it is).
[Captivate General] pietro_spina:
download launcherpro from the market.. install it. hold the home screen until presented with menu.

click activities... drill down to lbstestmode and select the first option.

it will then add an icon on your home screen to the gps settings
[Captivate General] ahaile:
Flashed successfully, GPS still sucks

I have a totally stock ROM (not rooted), and the update completed successfully. So I tested the GPS on my commute home today. Very disappointed. Track wanders over 100m from my actual route.

Here's the route on Google Maps: ... edit ... forum won't let me post a link, since I'm new. Put this together if you really want it: maps.google.com /maps/ms?msa=0&msid=210398935499356982066.000490e2ddf719fd2f500

Captivate was in my pocket as I was riding my bike. Some tree coverage but nothing extreme.
[Captivate General] ph00ny:
i would love to help but with the number of non-stock cappy having issues with OTA vs number of succssful updates on 100% stock phone, it's a tough decision to make with froyo right around the block
[Captivate General] sold1erjjt:
Ok so i dont know if this has been covered, but i dont have enough time to read. But i did unleash the beast right when i got my Cappy, and i tried to update, it reboot and said it didn't take affect, but now i have JH7. Is my root or different ROM effecting my update, i dont really need it but wouldn't mind it. oh and any thoughts on that Cognition ROM?
[Captivate General] back2honda:
Yes it happened to me too.

[Captivate General] A.VOID:
Just updated my wife's 100% stocker. Completed successfully.

I found it interesting that the new battery w/ % indicator did not appear with the release. I'll need to check the YouTube for the HQ.

My phone thats Cognitive sees no release. Not that I want it. I keep the wife's stock to see what happens and listen to her complain about the lag. :pLove and marriage!
[Captivate General] phr00t:
I'm not sure why anyone thinks Froyo is "right around the block" for the Captivate. Samsung has repeatedly said they have no time table for US devices. The European version hasn't even gotten it yet (although rumors say it is coming out in a few days). Also, the GPS has still sucked in all of the Froyo releases for the I9000. This JH7 OTA update is the only update where Samsung and AT&T says the GPS is "fixed".
[Captivate General] phr00t:
May you please help out over here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=789829
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
Besides, the ones that are brave enough will have Froyo before it becomes official too.

Personally, I think the release on samfirmware website and this update is one in the same. The one on samfirmware is the whole firmware, as where in the update, you are only getting the changed bits. Probably why the update is confused when those of us that have already upped to it are asking to update again.

Just thinking out loud again.
[Captivate General] pj1000:
This may be my experience alone, but my OTA update failed because the OCLF was installed. Anyone else have this experience or could it be the install blew up for other reasons?
[Captivate General] ukulele_ninja:
I'm about ready to throw on the towel and download the early version. Sounds the same like you said.
[Captivate General] ahaile:
FWIW, here's what LbsTestMode gives me. Stock, unrooted ROM with today's update successfully applied. (I have a few apps installed, but since it's not rooted, I assume that's inconsequential.) There's a lot of stuff in LbsTestMode. Let me know if I got what you wanted.

[Captivate General] phr00t:
If the OTA JH7 is the same as the samfirmware JH7, then the GPS still completely sucks and we need to raise absolute hell for Samsung. I wanted to confirm OTA JH7 still sucks (while hoping it is fixed), and then SPAM THE SH*T out of Samsung's facebook/twitter accounts saying it is still broken. :D
[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
I would love to help, but due to school giving me a lack of free time, I can't take on the task of backing up personal data & restoring it later... Sorry!

I'm sure someone will make a ROM dump soon though:):)
[Captivate General] ph00ny:
one can only hope

Didn't someone from samsung spain post that the froyo is getting released by end of october?
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
Many of the unaltered ones that had a successful update have still complained about horrible GPS. I think there is no real change in the behavior since the early release. Personally, I had better luck running the JH2 firmware with the GPS, but that's just me. It seems like everyone is all over the board with this phone, and I am beginning to wonder if hardware is in question more than the software. Who knows. I just know that I am going to stay on the early build and avoid trying to brick my phone with no real change to it. ;)

After reading the results in the forums on Android Central, I think the spamming can resume.
[Captivate General] tsachi:
Installed it this morning on original OS (never rooted). Installation was quick and now showing UCJH7.

Not noticing performance difference (media scan still slow)

Added Quickoffice

GPS - improved lock time (10 sec for good accuracy), however didn't completely resolve the problem. Lock is still constantly lost and navigation is impossible. Can't get into lbstestMode through the dial pad anymore. Used LauncherPro to get in with the following settings:

application

tracking

s/w test

ms assist

hot start

gps plus: on

dynamic accuracy: on

accuracy: 100

skyhook: on

pctool: off

supl/lcp

custom

supl.google.com

7276

secure socket: off

agps: supl

I changed supl before, I will try to go back to default and see if it improves
[Captivate General] Ikonomi:
I'd just like to add that this update improved the accuracy of the compass quite a bit. It's not nearly as jerky anymore.

Also, my GPS is functioning much, much, much better than it ever did with the previous firmware. Fast lock, lock from indoors, does not lose the lock when traveling or when stopped, tracks much closer to my position. I can 100% confirm a huge improvement on my phone. The real test will be if the performance lasts.
[Captivate General] Krad:
was in the cognition chat room right now... DG has confirmed that there are differences between the OTA update and the firmware hosted on samfirmware. He has supplied the clockwork dump from an JH7 ota for testing.

We should soon have a cognition rom with these updates included.

:-)
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
If I recollect, the kernel has always been the same.
[Captivate General] PixelPerfect3:
So anyone else having the "No Firmware" issue? I tried to update twice and it failed both times, and now I can't even get into the "Software Update" option. And now whenever I close and start the phone it always says "Did not update".

I think my phone is kinda screwed up. It says "JH7" in the "About Phone" part but it seems incomplete...no QuickOffice
[Captivate General] mjgunn:
Yup, I've got exactly that problem. I'm about to call it a day and just flash the leaked JH7 since my system is acting a little flaky at the moment (odd crashes, etc).
[Captivate General] sridhar618:
Yup got the same here.. bought on the 11th of this month...
[Captivate General] Roxy:
I have the same problem above. Wow this is really retarded...
[Captivate General] sicwan:
i have the same issue w/ "no firmware" i had it once before, then i rebooted and it went away.. but now.. when i reboot.. i always get a screen that says "device managment"

the update was not completed.

no update is applied to your phone.

HOw can i get rid of that? is there some cache i need to clear?
[Captivate General] Roxy:
I didn't get rid of the " no update was completed " part, but when I do check for update, it went back to normal after I used clockwork recovery for wiping cache & dalvik. Sigh, gonna go try update again for the third time and see if it'll work. If not I think I'm gonna get pretty irritated!
[Captivate General] mikejames07:

[Captivate General] digitalundertaker:
It just updated on my wife phone which is rooted, and without at&t software. Everything went fine and smooth. But mine won't update. I even unrooted but nada
[Captivate General] JPS81:
I updated while I was driving home tonight, so I don't know if it stopped in the middle or what not like some other people (I don't believe it did). When I got home I did find that I got the "Update not completed" message, however media scanning was noticeably faster (it used to take FOREVER on my phone; I have a lot of stuff) and I was able to edit individual cells in a QuickOffice spreadsheet.

In the About Phone it does indeed say JH7.

I won't be able to find out if I can re-update (resume said there was no update available) for another day to make sure.

Otherwise my phone seems to run like it always has, although I really haven't messed around much since I just got home and have to get up in seven hours.

For reference, my phone is rooted, ext2 lagfixed, sideloading enabled (via editing /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db so that install_non_market_apps has a value of 1 instead of 0), and all AT&T software removed (although I wish I hadn't removed the AT&T hotspots app).
[Captivate General] eelton:
That seems premature. Yes, Samsung released an update that doesn't work for many people--they presumably didn't test it on modified phones. But give them a chance to make it right before giving up on the phone (which at any rate is still great, even without GPS working well).
[Captivate General] Roxy:
I'm just really frustrated with this phone... I miss my nexus one :(
[Captivate General] life2monkeys:
I have considered selling this phone and buying a nexus one on a number of occasions...
[Captivate General] mtcarey:
2nd try worked...

Uninstalled One-Click Lag Fix, ran update... got failure message at 100%.

Removed Circle Bat mod and unrooted... Success!

Did NOT restore previously removed AT&T Navigator, Media(?), whatever else was on there that cost money to use.

FYI
[Captivate General] Digital Man:
Attempted update on brand new out of the box captivate - just popped in Sim and attempted update - absolutely no modifications.

Software downloaded immediately on first attempt (was quite suprised) Installation took only about 3 minutes and only hung briefly at around 51%. Recieved message that update was successful.

Not adding this to gloat, but to add to the statisitics to help find a pattern.
[Captivate General] Kizzmiazz:
Exactly what happened on the new captivate I got today. Tried on my old one and would fail at 50% .
[Captivate General] LiqudDeth:
Same here. Except I didn't have anything besides root and Circle Bat mod installed. Failed at 100% the first time. Removed the Circle Bat mod, but left it rooted and everything went smoothly.

I've said before in this thread and another thread that I was pretty sure it was a modified framework-res.apk that was causing a lot of the failures at 100% and now I am dead sure.
[Captivate General] Roxy:
Hmm, I reverted to stock using odin, but now it says there's no update.

Wth.
[Captivate General] The Bishop:
Just thinking out loud, but I'm curious to see who has newer phones, and who has older phones and if that's a connection or not.

I just traded mine in for a brand new one 5 days ago so it's about as new as we can get down here. Will try my luck tomorrow night, gotta hit the rack.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
how do you return to un-root status NOT using Odin?
[Captivate General] oldeight:
rooted and one click lag fix had since the 20th of july 2 days after release update completed successfuly i used one click lag fix undo and stayed rooted. after update i checked gps i have had good and bad results with the gps intermitent results google maps typically in my driveway it shows me accross the street in the middle of the house there and with gps status shows 4/6 or 5/6 sats it now shows me in my driveway (within 10 feet) and gps status shows 9/11 to 10/11 sats i've never seen more then 8 sats somthing appears to have changed . still need to test on long drive that is when i have had the most problems. and i keep use wireless networks unchecked with all gps testing.

this phone rocks!!
[Captivate General] Infiniti350GT:
Cant believe it worked like this - One click root installed - one click lag fix & got my update.

Let me just say this first after reading this forum since day 1 of this update I decided once I saw people bricking and doing all of this work for a useless update I had decided I don't need it or want to do all of this work for something thats not froyo....then I changed my mind.

From start to finish the entire process took maybe 3 or 4 minutes. I did NOT unroot and did NOT un-lag fix. (I didn't really care if something happens then I'll work on it later) phone rebooted and everything came back up working great. Ran a quadrant once it was on and hit 2319 :-) I must say that I can NOT STAND the new youtube bar though. I'll test the GPS later on today maybe around lunch.
[Captivate General] Uppsala9496:
Checked for update today. Received update, phone restarted......and it said it was unsuccessful. My firmware did change from JF6 to JH7 though. I didn't look at what kernal version I had before the update. Currently states 2.6.29 jetaek.lee @ sep-11 #2. Firmware version: 2.1

I have unleash the beast (rooted, att apps removed) and lagfix ext4 on my phone, so not sure if that is why is stated it was unsuccessful.

Oh and I went to check for a software update and it only lets you do it once every 24 hours, so I have 23 hours and 50 minutes to wait.
[Captivate General] Infiniti350GT:
You can manually change you calender settings to the next day and go back to check again and it will allow you to do it again.

Also I wanted to say for my post above - Stock ROM, kernal has never been changed. The one click lag fix I am using was from the market -RyanZA's fix.
[Captivate General] ehaseltine:
Just got the update on a totally stock phone. Update took maybe 4 minutes... Successful first time. The first boot took a couple minutes longer than normal.

Gps used to get lock in 30 to 90 seconds, with at most 5 sats. First lock after the update was 19s with 9 sats locked on.

I'm happy!
[Captivate General] swedishcancerboi:
It hurts that many of you feel this is a worthless update. They put this out to fix some stuff. I for one NEED this update. I am really hoping that it solves my Exchange problem (as stated in their notes). My primary use for this phone is email. I am doing all of this work because I need to.

Now I wonder if I can actually get some work done today without spending hours geekin' on this phone.
[Captivate General] bighitter:
I continued to get 50% and failed, so I just downloaded the JH7 firmware from: samfirmware.webs.com/samsungandroid.htm (requires registration) and successfully installed it.

[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
In the development section, there is a post with the OTA JH7 files:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790080

They said that there was a checksum difference on many of the OTA files versus the samfirmware ones.

I am going to just flash that since it will leave me in the same place as d/l the OTA, but I really wanted the "satisfaction" of actually getting and installing an update from AT&T/Samsung. I feel like they waved this thing in front of my face but never let me have it. :mad:
[Captivate General] hosscat:
Fyi, this update killed my syncing with exchange 2003. I had to be added to the exceptions list in order to continue receiving mail. I'm not sure what version you're connecting to, just thought I'd let you know.

No bueno.....2003 here. I just hate the lag I get. I REALLY hate it when any one of the couple dozen iPhone users here (retired user myself) gives me crap because I don't get email instantly and not in HTML.

Android excels in many, but still lacks in some basics.
[Captivate General] Infiniti350GT:
It's a frustrating situation and I think thats also what helps me think its a worthless update even more. But at the end of the day it's really not and we see the issues & get a fix...then people experience more issues with the fix. I feel for ya though stuff like this is not fun.

All,

Designgears has captured the OTA update and packaged it up for anyone who is having toruble with the download applying.

I am also adding this link to the OP.
[Captivate General] Krad:
Gps friggin fixed!!!!!

Ok so i downloaded the JH7_OTA.zip dump from Designgears... This is a clockwork dump backup from a brand new phone with the update submitted by a very nice person here.

Loaded it this morning without issue and noticed a few changes right away. When i download multiple items from the market, they are now grouped togeither in 1 icon with a number on it. This wasn't like this in JH7 released by samfirmwares.

As a test.. i purposely left the agps disabled and went on my 24 mile commute to work with stock and nothing loaded except the maps update from the market.

The gps locked on in 2 seconds and was flawless!!!!! I have tested all firmwares and ripped files from epic4g etc... and this actual fix works. Having tested this drive over 20 times, i was expecting the gps to fail in key places... and it didn't, I only once got a large bubble around my arrow for half a second... but it went to no bubble.

Also, the gps was dead on, it had me correctly in the right spot in an intersection. that has never happened before.

i am a very happy camper. I am going to manually edit my settings.db for loading non-market apps, and i won't add a custom framework for the battery. trying to keep this as stock as possible for now.

[Captivate General] liquid blue:
Well I updated my wife’s and my phone yesterday via the Software Update in settings. They both went through fine. Both are stock. No performance increase noticeable and GPS still bad. Tried on the way to work to lead the way but 90% of the way it tried to get a signal. Ugh. And can someone explain how to get to lbstestmode? I have launcher pro. That one post says to hold home screen and I get the add widget, shortcut etc. screen but nothing about activities. Holding down the home button just brings up the last few apps I’ve used.

So this is the update the SamsungSsupport twitter was going on about for the last month or so. That person tweeting doesn’t have much to say other than resetting to stock to most issues and copy+paste the same response about Froyo and GPS fix. She didn’t even say anything about this update. I found out about this update through XDA quicker than I did through the official channels. What a letdown. GPS doesn’t even work for everyone.
[Captivate General] zerocalories:
One of the lucky ones I guess. I have been through the steps twicen now on my phone and my GPS still cannot get a lock. Probably will be looking into taking it back and replacing it.
[Captivate General] Zero4:
So...I too had the update fail on me upon reboot. I just discovered that my Power Control Widget No Longer Works!!
