Took me 3 tries on odin before it worked. You should see blue status bars in odin moving along within the first minute of clicking start.
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
im diggin my phone even more after this update!

quick question: ive read people saying its not necessary to go back to JF6 before flashing this? is this odin a one-click back to Froyo Stock? or must you go back to jf6 before this.
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
YESSSSS. Man, I got sick of having to convert those files. Haha.
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Not sure if it's entirely necessary, but I did it anyway just because it's a force of habit. Personally flashing back to stock JF6 first isn't really that big a deal so it's really up to you as to whether or not you flash to stock first.
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
yeah i always flash back to jf6 as well. thats what i did before flashing this but as i skimmed through this thread it i read people saying to flash straight to froyo

someone who flashed straight to froyo chime in!
[Captivate Android Development] BlkSquad:
anybody else having issues downloading? the .exe on ponack's server always gets to 54.2mb then just stops, same thing on the multiupload
[Captivate Android Development] realawill:
I had no issues whatsoever. Not sure why it's doing that.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I agree. Learn the basics, don't be so friggin lazy and read through the posts, or least enough to have a clue. These phones are practically immune to bricking if you just bother to read and then apply what you learn to future tinkering. It's really not that hard, but it does take time and some minor effort.
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
I posted this link yesterday; still seems to be working fine. It is RapidShare though...

[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
Odin doesn't detect my phone :( I'm running win7 64x anyone has the same problem? or got it working ?

btw my drivers works fine w/ kies.
[Captivate Android Development] realawill:
I have the same specs with no issues, except I do not have Keis installed.
[Captivate Android Development] j1mb34m:
I noticed that my usb mounting is spotty. For example, my two cards mounted as usb drives and everything was good. I then unmounted them, and when I went to remount (to backup my internal sdcard to external) my computer didnt detect the phone. This happened over the span of like 20 minutes. I've found that rebooting the pc seems to help.

I have no idea if this is similar to your situation though...I'm just waiting for filemanager to finish copying my internal card to my external card :)
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
With the phone off, hold down Tue volume buttons and plug the USB cable from your PC into your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Right, therefore the JH7 OTA was FAR SUPERIOR to this GPS.

I just gave this a solid GPS workout. Signals going in and out all over the place. Back to the way things were before. My JH7 OTA was not perfect, but reliable.
[Captivate Android Development] renden:
For those of us with the broken 3 button download method, can we use adb reboot download with the odin one click? Has anyone tried?
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
I flashed to froyo from cognition 2.1.5 and everything is going just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
Yes. I had the OTA JH7 which let me get into download mode and then i flashed back to stock JF6. My 3button combo went away so I had to use ADB. Then i flashed Froyo
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
this erased everything correct?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
My buttons work fine but I always use ADB to enter download or recovery...It just so easy...:)
[Captivate Android Development] whenemusattack:
I don't think so, as soon as I boot into adb reboot download, windows instantly says device not recognized. I have tried tried everything from reinstalling drivers, trying to let windows install drivers, safe mode, and probably everything else one can think, still not recognized by Windows or Odin. Guess I'm stuck on 2.1 until someone creates an update.zip file (if possible). BTW I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
[Captivate Android Development] moretech:
I did not loose any files going from cog 2.1.5 to froyo...Though i'm thinking to do a master clear and reinstaling froyo just before any of the new roms come out
[Captivate Android Development] rraquib:
I really missed lagfix, hsupa, tethering, backlight notification and over all snappyness. Went back earlier setup, will wait until al those are addressed :-D
[Captivate Android Development] fireshot91:
Is there a way I can update to this build without losing Root and all my data (and sideloaded apps, pictures, etc)? I'm running rooted 2.1 Unleash The Beast, JF6.
[Captivate Android Development] j1mb34m:
Hey, you might try manually updating the driver or uninstalling/reinstalling the device from within device manager. Then when updating the driver, navigate to the folder where all your other samsung drivers are (I have SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2 and usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64 rar files that i downloaded, and is where all my drivers came from).
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
What lagfix are people using with this? right now it is far too laggy to use for long without making me extremely frustrated.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I'm not using any lagfix...I do not find it very laggy..In some situations there are brief pauses but it is way better then the Eclair build that can stock on the Captivate...:)
[Captivate Android Development] fireshot91:
So I'd have to go back to stock, using Odin One-Click, and then update to this, and then root again? :(.
[Captivate Android Development] FutureDev7:
I am really sorry to ask because Im sure it has been before, but I dont have much time to work on this today. My captivate is telling me it cannot format my storage correctly so it fails on install whenever I try to odin... Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] jankyboy:
I used the OCLF from the market. Once installed, ran "install ext2 tools", then ran the "lagfix v2". Pretty snappy now.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You don't have to go back to stock although that's what I did...you will have to root though....
[Captivate Android Development] dirtblade:
Have you disabled a lagfix before you tried?
[Captivate Android Development] whenemusattack:
Sadly, I've already trrried that, but as soon as I manually selected the drivers it said something like "your device already has the latest drivers"but, thanks though. I think its a problem with Windows 7 or ****ty 64 bit drivers from Samsung.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtblade:
Do you mean your Quadrant score just higher? Or, there is something specific that makes you think it is much snappier since you applied OCLF?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
What about quickboot from the market? When I was rooted on 2.1 I had quickboot right next to rom manager.one took me to stock recovery for installing update.zips, and the other was clockwork for roms.all with no need for button combos. Might that work?

had a bootloader option but I never tried out. Might that take you too download mode?
[Captivate Android Development] jankyboy:
The Quadrant score was higher, but the scrolling appears quicker now and there doesn't seem to be any lag when opening applications. Feels similar to when i ran Cog 2.1.6.
[Captivate Android Development] jmollabi:
3 button recovery not working on stock eclair (rooted)..now working on froyo..anyone else experienced this?
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
here! im super stoked for 3button combo!
[Captivate Android Development] j1mb34m:
I'm on windows 7 x64. But check this out, I just remembered some earlier problems I had, when i first used odin. Whenever the default launcher is used everything (e.g., mounting, computer seeing the phone) starts breaking. i use adw launcher, so maybe that's the cause of the issue. But I think I remember I had to set the usb debussing and mass storage mode before the phone (and default settings) first contact the computer. Or, you have to set the settings and reboot your pc. At least i think that solved the problem. I'll figure it out in like the next 20 min or so (my gf is watching a movie on the networked htpc, don't want to get her angry!)

Edit: I tried a different usb port on my pc, and entered dl mode. Then new drivers installed automatically. Now, odin just jumps back and forth between "Added!!" and "Removed!!" a dozen times.
[Captivate Android Development] jmollabi:
very cool..cyanogen its your turn
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
I had the same problem. What I did to resolve it was 1click Odin to JF6, boot up, turn on USB Debugging, run a Master Clear, then finally flash JI6.
[Captivate Android Development] akira777:
Don't know if this matters.. Froyo installed with the OCLF installed and use the oneclicklagfix v2+. Quadrant runs full benchmark and received score of 1804. Just close all the apps down before using quadrant for better result I guess. No OC
[Captivate Android Development] jmollabi:
same here I flashed to stock and it still wasnt working..not until I flashed JI6 now it works
[Captivate Android Development] BlkSquad:
thanks, i'll try it at least. such a long 180 seconds! lol

edit. nope it stopped at 54.1mb. Dammit, I will not wait on att for this!
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
I can't get OCLF to work it keeps failing to mount. Any suggestions on how to get it to work?
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Can you post the links to the programs you used?
[Captivate Android Development] akira777:
I downloaded it from the android market. Put in keyword "OCLF" without quotes. the free one
[Captivate Android Development] centex99:
grrr... my update must not of updated, ignore my question...
[Captivate Android Development] wahida76:
Captivate

Thank you very much been wondering how and looking through to fund a way to flash thanx you rock foxy
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
no issues for me...in fact it automatically updated itself once i connected to the market (i didn't have to force update)
[Captivate Android Development] paul25rs:
I gotta say that I'm pretty disappointed that Samsung still hasn't been able to fix the lag issues even with Froyo.. Going from the lagfix in SRE + Overclock to this rom is kinda painful... Everything is just so much slower. Hopefully a new lagfix is out sooner rather than later.
[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
Maybe I should uninstall kies and try it. thanks! btw when you plug in your phone does it charge it? I tried all the button command and it won't get into download mode either. So I'm not sure if it's my driver or something else.

I have no problem with mounting but good luck to you. Man I really want to get this working. I've flashed my cappy few times but never done it w/ odin argh.
[Captivate Android Development] lost1:
Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

I just completed the flash. I can confirm that Bluetooth voice dialing works. But then again it was working for me in 2.1.

The big difference from 2.1 to 2.2 is that Bluetooth stereo headphones are recognized as headphones and 5.1 Surround now works!!!! That did not work in 2.1.

I'm loving the 5.1 now. Just for reference, I'm using Nokia BH-503 Stereo bluetooth headset.

Cheers

2.2 Quadrant Scores

Just a note: I was running a rooted Stock 2.1 JF6 with Lag fix installed. My Quadrant score was 2197.

Now with 2.2 no lag fix, 1017.

I'll be doing a lag fix shortly and report back.
[Captivate Android Development] gunnyman:
If anyone was wondering about JIT, it is indeed enabled on this build. You can verify this by issuing this command from an ADB Shell

dalvikvm -h. in the last line look for Configured with: debugger profiler hprof jit show_exception=1

I also wonder if the debugger is turned on because this is a test build.
[Captivate Android Development] deekthesqueak:
When I plug in my brand new Captivate with both volume keys pressed it simply goes to the battery charging screen. I tried installing the drivers for the phone and that didn't make any difference. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
And to think, I was going to upgrade from Cog 2.1.5 to 2.1.6, AND I started getting texts today from AT&T about an update. Prob JH7 OTA

12min left on the DL
[Captivate Android Development] Phlip00ws6:
So no need for Odin correct? Just run exe and your g2g?
[Captivate Android Development] Jreitnauer7:
Just put into Odin? Do you need to use a PIT File?
[Captivate Android Development] NickAtNite:
How well are jit, and gps working? What's the average linpack and quadrant score? Ram?
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
You can now pinch the home screen and it'll zoom out from all of your homescreens (like HTC Sense).

I'll look for the RAM specifics.
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
as mentioned before - this is an Odin one click exe and ROM all in one.
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
Here's a RapidShare link for y'all; hopefully this'll alleviate some of the strain on ponack's server, haha:

[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Ladies and Gents- What a great evening.

Important question - Thread is moving so fast no one is getting to the questions being asked- Once this is flashed, can we still ODIN3 flash back to Eclair 2.1? (would assume so, but don't want to be the guinea pig)
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
+1 can some one answer this?? thx!
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
There should be no reason that you can not plug in te phone and even us ADB to put in download mode and flash back to Stock 2.1
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
file not available :(
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
Quandrant is showing 311MB of total RAM.

My Quandrant score was 992.
[Captivate Android Development] evancg:
Wouldn't you need root to do that?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I agree wholeheartedly with this. But would like for someone to confirm (DG?) No phone bricking for me please. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ponack:
Wow guys, this is more load than what DG put on my server before - good job! :D
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
http://www.multiupload.com/KHPC80UTOF
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
nope. you only need root to do that on a terminal within the phone
[Captivate Android Development] domin8:
perfect im zooming now, 2 minutes total download time :)
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
Link is working fine on my end; tested on Chrome (where I'm logging into my premium account) and Firefox (where I'm not).

It's not a direct download link; you have to pick whether you're a premium or free user (like Megaupload or any other D/L site).
[Captivate Android Development] pricej636:
Thank you. 18 minutes sounds much better than over an hour.
[Captivate Android Development] gunnyman:
The more important score is Linpack. For the first time it's in double digits. I just got a 14.071 That's almost double my previous score.
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
please do not trust linpack and quadrant for scores. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
this needs to be double stated
[Captivate Android Development] No Quarter:
It must be powered off, hold both volume keys (no power), then plug in USB while holding. The volume keys + power didn't work for me, but this did.

It should do it without the drivers... those only allow Odin to flash your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] xrvr:
First post :)

Will this build work for non-ATT Captivate?

I'm getting one as soon as robbers in Canada will release it.
[Captivate Android Development] deekthesqueak:
I turn my phone off. I hold both volume keys on the left. I plug in the USB cord which is attached to the computer running the downloaded Odin and this is what I get.

[Captivate Android Development] Shival:
Specifically How to Flash?

This is the information I have so far...

How to flash froyo ~? read below :3

1. Make sure your micro usb cable is connected to your pc, but NOT to your phone.

2. Run the .exe file ( odin program )

3. Turn off your phone.

4. While the phone is off, press both of the volume keys.

5. While pressing both of the volume keys, plug the micro usb cable to your phone.

How do I use Odin to do this?

Its a pretty vague program with little instruction and this will be my first android flash. I just cannot find any complete instructions anywhere.

Also, Once I figure out how to use Odin, I just flash 2.2 over my current and am done with it?

Noob questions, I seriously wouldn't ask them if I haven't already tried to find the info, I just don't want to Brick my device.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
it sounds like you got one with the broken button combos.

try with adb, adb reboot download (search the forums and google for better instructions)
[Captivate Android Development] No Quarter:
New guy.

Hey, guys, been lurking for awhile, and thought I'd post some results and helpful pointers (if I can).

Was running stock + lag fix and a few other tweaks. Had moderate success with GPS, but otherwise no problems.

Used method 3 (Odin instructions) for download mode on Captivate.

Installed One-click Odin 2.2 and took just a minute to flash.

Linpack = 14.0~14.2 (compared to ~7.8)

Neocore = 55.3~56.2 FPS (same as before)

Quadrant = ~790 stock, ~2125 stock w/ lagfix, ~1100 under 2.2

GPS took less than a minute to lock, web surfing (parsing webpages) is noticeably faster, and seems to stutter less when read/writing (still a little stiff). Battery life has certainly improved, but I'm a tweaker and turn every thing off and never really had an issue.
[Captivate Android Development] terrigan:
I got it finally.. it took restoring to Eclair and many battery pulls and trying to run Odin to get Froyo to flash.
[Captivate Android Development] paul25rs:
I just want to make note that the OCLF indeed does work as a lagfix and it does make the phone a lot snappier. Thank god.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Are you on Win 7 64bit? I had no issues whatsoever but I'm running W7 32bit.
[Captivate Android Development] No Quarter:
I realize the scores are subjective, but when benching a single model of phone it can set a bar which improvements can be deduced.
[Captivate Android Development] Foxman13:
How long should it be on File Analysis..? Mine has been there about 30 minutes.

Also, does anyone have a guide to flash the stock ROM just in case I need to? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] epoplive:
I couldn't get the GPS to work at all after flashing JI6 until I changed the supl settings to the google ones.
[Captivate Android Development] schahr01:
Can you post references to articles that back this claim? Why shouldn't I trust the scores on 2.2? Is the fact that JIT is in use the reason? Just want to understand.

The processor is the same. The kernel, from the ident, looks the same.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Excellent!!!
[Captivate Android Development] damis648:
It's not going to do anything. This happens when you don't do things in the right order. Make sure that Odin is open before you plug the phone in.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
The download is all-in-one: firmware and Odin. You don't need to do anything else. Just launch the exe file. Put your phone in download mode as instructed. Connect and wait for your phone to be recognized. And hit the start button in the program. That's it.
[Captivate Android Development] epoplive:
It shouldn't take that long, it definitely didn't work. There's already a guide for reflashing JF6(stock rom) with 1 Click Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
it has been stated time and time again in these forums.

lagfixes inflate the scores for quadrant and linpack is optimized for snapdragon. hell i think i have read it on the captivate froyo threads 5 or 6 times alone!

benchmarks are synthetic, they do not account for real world performance. same goes true for your PC.
[Captivate Android Development] No Quarter:
Powering down, or yanking the battery? Did you remove sim card and microSD?
[Captivate Android Development] Shival:
Well, that is rather simple... =]

Thankyou!
[Captivate Android Development] p4ranoid4ndroid:
did you have root or did you do the force root option?
[Captivate Android Development] Sqdnguns:
Installed and runs flawlessly.....thanks to OP and source.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
Did I read that the stock droid keyboard is no longer?
[Captivate Android Development] vikdmon:
frozen yogurt son!!
[Captivate Android Development] No Quarter:
Correct, just Swype and Samsung keys now.
[Captivate Android Development] AlecKyle:
Works absolutely perfect! Was so easy to flash, even for an amateur like me. Now my phone is twice as awesome! Thank you soo much :)
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I'd just like to chime in and say that 2.2 on my Captivate, rooted using cmd and Rageagainstthecage is working very well for me. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
[Captivate Android Development] bveditz:
Email.apk

I deodexed the Email.apk and ran the Unlocker against it (to unlock the pin/password requirement). Attaching it for those interested. I actually deodexed most of the apks (and in the process of optimizing) but since it was after I deleted a bunch I of att stuff I didn't want, I felt it wouldn't be a complete package. Hopefully that will be done with one of the cognition updates in the future along with the email fix.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Can you make it flash and scroll and cause seizures? :D
[Captivate Android Development] gunnyman:
True.

However, comparing Linpack both with and without Froyo you can see that there IS a speed improvement. How that translates to day to day phone use is completely subjective.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Would you please elaborate? Everything I've read indicated that Bluetooth voice commands are not supported on 2.1 and I've not been able to get it working on this 2.2. Just to be sure I'm clear, what I mean by BT VC is I press the little button on my BT headset (I'm using the BlueAnt Q1) and ask it to activate voice commands and it does nothing. However, when I tried the I9000 Froyo the voice commands worked.
[Captivate Android Development] deekthesqueak:
I powered down, not yanking the battery. I've tried with and without the SIM but no micro sd is in it yet.
[Captivate Android Development] Foxman13:
I have repeated this process several times now. Even using the stock ROM downloader. It just hangs. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] akira777:
Have anyone try to remove those AT&T software off froyo? I tried with TiBackup and it said apk file is not available. Not sure if I need to find independent apk for all their apps before uninstalling it...
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
It's gone...Samsung kb sucks so I'm using swype instead. I can get used to the swype though.
[Captivate Android Development] No Quarter:
Must yank battery.

When you power down, it's simply asleep. Tap the screen and notice the home buttons still light up? Yeah.

Yank battery, replace. Tap on screen. No lights. It's now technically dead to the world.

Proceed. What're results?
[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
after OCLF this thing feels on par/ slight edge over voodoo, at least for me :D only problem i have is an aestetic one, launcherpro has a slight shakiness/jumpiness to it. I'll mess around with it a bit more and see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Why would Samsung remove the Android keyboard? How does that benefit Samsung? Stupid. I have not loaded Froyo yet but I did not like the Samsung keyboard in 2.1. I hate it when companies remove features.
