Get odin 3 one click to stock captivate (jf6). Follow directions to get phone into download mode then flash. Don't do master reset unless you want to erase ALL your data.

If that was to me it wont help. I do not know anyone where i live. I litterally have zero access to windows and dont want any. there is no reason why I should need to have windows to update a linux system.
[Captivate Android Development] planetmf:
I have the Exchange problem, and thought maybe I was crazy. I sent myself and test and replied to it from the phone, the body was empty. I did it again and removed the original part of the message (via the red - on the phone) and the Reply email body/text came through.
[Captivate Android Development] gutowscr471:
Bricked Captivate

All i get is a small phone icon and a computer with a red triangle in between. None of the button combonations work. Does anyone have an idea of what else i can try to get this thing in download mode so i can use Odin?
[Captivate Android Development] jps1974:
This is a bit of a shocker - I have the International I9000 and we had this issue with the unofficial JPC And JPH firmwares, but it was fixed in JPK...
[Captivate Android Development] Maliberti:
Another problem found:

When I get appointments from work on the exchange server it no longer asks me to accept reject the appointment.

I also have to choose to put the appointment in my cal.

This may be the deal breaker to go back to 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I have not seen this issue posted anywhere but here is what is happening with me. With google voice I do not get alerts for texts sent to me if the screen is locked. I have to open google voice and then a bit later it will come through. It is as if the background updates are not working and it is enabled. This never happened any verision of 2.1 I used (stock or cognition). I am assuming its just part of the beta 2.2 release but Im throwing this out there.
[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
This version of froyo and the Cognition version are both by Designgears...

So which froyo 2.2 is best to update with???? This one or cognition?
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
1st, remove your battery, wait a few seconds (5 should be fine) hold both volume up and volume down at the same time, and plug in your USB cable, that will put your phone in "Download Mode" (the yellow android with the shovel)

at this point you can ODIN a stock ROM back.

if that doesn't work, try the same but only hold the volume down (not up and down) and plug in your USB cable (cable connected to PC)

One or the other will get you to a point where you can re-flash it back to operational.
[Captivate Android Development] gutowscr471:
I tried both with no luck. I also started a fresh copy of Odin each time. I also ensured Kies was not running in the background on my laptop. Also tried multiple USB ports on my laptop. This DID work until my flash of Odin stock failed and I had to pull the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:

Ya my Samsung keyboard lags as well. I'm sure that will get fixed in the final. I also miss android keyboard that was my favorite.

Speaking of keyboards which was the one in 2.1 that with a long press of the 123/abc key gave you the screen with the arrow keys?

I want that one back...
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
I had froyo running on here for about 2 days but decided to revert back to 2.1 for voodoo amongst other reasons, now I can't root since stock recovery won't install update.zip, instead it just says installation aborted.

[Captivate Android Development] scrub50187:
I've tried all off that, every button combo, every usb cable combo (when to plug it in) I even tried the button combos with the charger and it is just dead. No lights at all, no sound, no vibrate. Its like the battery isnt even in the phone.

[Captivate Android Development] amirmah:

[Captivate Android Development] Spleisher:
This was actually really easy. If you don't want to deal with rooting and enabling side-loading for real, I can confirm that the "Wonder Machine" worked perfectly for installing the stock froyo keyboard for me. Also did the trick for the new Froyo Car Home app.

Hope that helps!
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
the lags on my Captivate froyo seems now to only occur while updating widgets like "Feeds and updates". seems like removing the Lag-fix helps. but why is the solution on the lag be the problem on the bootleg froyo? or maybe its only on my part.

Is that JI6 OTA release for Vibrant different than our JI6?

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/10/07/samsung-releases-ota-update-to-address-vibrant-gps-issues/
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
Yes, it is 2.1, not 2.2. It just shares the date code.

Also, i went back to the i9000 build with HSUPA and Tayutama's ROM. Su much smoother, and I don't get any random weird issues.
[Captivate Android Development] daraj:
I found that JM8 is the most stable for me so far and the gps is excellent. Froyo leaks are obviously not finished versions.
[Captivate Android Development] manlisten:
It seems like image quality is much higher in this 2.2 version than it is in 2.1. For instance I don't see as much color separation in high-res photos and my album covers look a lot sharper in the music player. I think this is why the browser is a lot laggier than in 2.1 on pages with a good amount of images.

Probably just an optimization issue that will be ironed out in later releases.
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
First Impressions after running for ~5 days.

- All my apps seem to work as before.

- Unfortunately it seems quite easy to get in a mode where the keyboard is up and you can't get rid of it without exiting the page / app.

- Sadly there does not seem to be anyway to access bluetooth voice dialing - perhaps its not in this build? Any thoughts?

- Speed seems similar to before (with lag fix in both cases).

- Battery life seems similar as well.

- Flash is essential and very welcome. :)

- Sync with contacts seems a bit more sluggish than before.

- I have had occasional freezes that required power cycle.

- GPS seems better than even the patched build - although one needs to change the settings to be similar to the fix that was written so much about. - prior my average sync time (stationary) was ~1.5 minutes over 300 tests in LbsTestMode. Now avg. is 28 secs (same location etc.)

THANKS for all the work that made this ROM available.

I am looking forward to the next ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes it is Eclair 2.1 not Froyo 2.2...
[Captivate Android Development] ralgha:
Excuse my newbieness ;), I'm still on stock and at mexico. I'm not being able to even connect to att server to upgrade so my only way to go seems to be to get my captivate rooted. I have been getting slowly into android following some of XDA threads (thank you for sharing by the way) and altough it's tempting to ask away everything I would need to get backed up, rooted, non-market apps, the GPS fix and hopefully froyo, I'll keep my reading first and try not to get from ground zero on that matter.

I still have some q's I haven't seen around (maybe I didn't look through enough). I'm not sure if the swype kb is considered as part of the bloat from att/samsung ¿? So I would like to know if it is still included as part of this froyo release (or prerelease for captivate)? since I have seen the android kb isn't and I'm loving swype's xD

And one pretty basic one is, going into download or recovery mode wipes something up or gets me into a 'you need to load a FW to go back in business' mode? Haven't tried if my cap is able to do the button combo (which i have read some can't) since I was afraid I was going to end up with no phone 'til i load it with some FW.. like in the iphone (not sure if it's still that way), and not having enough knowledge or else, to get the whole process up..

Thanks! (sorry about the long post)
[Captivate Android Development] Zero4:
Call Log Change???

I have a somewhat random question regarding the Call Log in JI6.

Has anyone else noticed if their txt messages are showing up in the call log?

If you're not sure what i'm talking about, I attached a screenshot.

(To get to that screen, load the dialer and select the Call Log Tab on the top)

Thanks for the help!

Not too many comments about Froyo on Captivate

Has any of you guys had problems with Froyo? I haven't seen many comments neither good nor bad about Froyo on Captivate... Is it reliable? I'm afraid to brick my phone and since I don't live in the America... Breaking it is simply not a choice...
[Captivate Android Development] Zero4:
I've had Froyo on my Captivate since Sunday, and have had no real problems. My GPS seems to work much better (still some issues when indoors), and after using RyanZA's OCLF, it boots much faster.

The install was a breeze, it took roughly 10 mins from start to finish.

I love this phone :D
[Captivate Android Development] whitesedan:
So far I haven't had any major issues since I installed over the weekend. Everything is working great but a few minor bugs. This doesn't effect my daily use of the phone.

List of things I have notice:

Unable to turn Geotagging off when taking g a picture.

Exchange mail not working when you have replied body txt (swapped it for aosp mail.apk and fixed the issue)

Unable to send mms and receive "server error response" (swapped to aosp mms.apk and fixed the issue)

Lost my original NV_data unlock code file (thank goodness for a manual backup!)

Other than that, it's been a great experience. I surely do not miss 2.1.

4 days and my phone is actually more stable than after the last official 2.1 update from AT&T.

My battery life has improved significantly

I no longer run a task manager

Phone's performance has improved a lot. When my morning alarm went off it sometimes took 4-5 seconds just to be able to hit the snooze/disable button. Now it's essentially instant!

flash rocks and the iPhone sucks!

2.2 beta 4

I know I am retarded with all this but how can I install the new beta(5)? can I just use the odin one click method i.e does odin get the updated cognition automatically? I used Odin and i can never get back to 2.1 to do the steps with rom manager etc. thanks for any help.
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
What specifically isn't as smooth for you? Everything is smoother for me.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Nothing happens for me...

I assume I have to first turn on USB debugging? It wasn't mentioned to do so in anything I read on here but if I don't, then Odin doesn't see the phone when I plug it in. I'm rooted already.

So I turned on debugging, turned the phone off, started Odin, held down the vol buttons, plugged in the USB. It registers in Odin with "<ID:0/003> Added!!"

In the first display window at the top left it says "0:[COM3]" When I click Start, I only get this in the message window:

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

and then nothing else. Click Start again, same thing. Help? :confused:

UPDATE: OK, I wasn't in download mode. Found exact instructions on another thread on here to remove battery, sim card, etc. Now we'll see if I bricked it. :D
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
There are 2 different odin1clicks........1 to get you to eclair, 2.1 stock, and one to get you to froyo, 2.2 stock. You cannot just boot recovery and install thru clockwork, because clockwork doesnt work in 2.2 yet. Therefore:

You need this: http://www.thevod.org/misc/captivate/I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.rar

That will get you back to 2.1....... unzip and run ...... be sure BEFORE you do it that you have the update.zip for clockwork. Then run that odin to get back to stock 2.1, reboot into recovery after it boots 1st time, and reinstall packages, install from zip, choose zip from sdcard
[Captivate Android Development] andresmo169:
How long does it take to get the entire froyo 2.2 onto the Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
5 minutes or so
[Captivate Android Development] :
Maybe 5 minutes total incl reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] Marke001:
Had the a couple of small issues with all the 2.2 version roms that I cant seem to

figure out and they dont occur in 2.1.

Mainly opening contacts sometimes pauses for several seconds before it opens.

Scrolling thru apps seems to stutter slightly and opening the list of widgets

seems to pause for several seconds as well . None of this happens on 2.1 I have

done complete wipes and master resets ect but still happens with every build .

it included hebrew support ? (reading and writing) ?

can someone that install it confirm please?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] :
I'm finding the same things. The app market has also crashed on me a couple of times when it didn't previously. The battery does seem to last longer and overall I like the UI better.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
When you install Rom Manager, the 1st thing you have to do is choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". When you do that, it creates a file called "update.zip" that it uses to get you into the clockwork recovery menu in recovery mode. When you choose "reinstall packages" in the regular recovery menu, it looks for a file called "update.zip" and runs it. If it is not the file created by clockwork, it doesn't boot CLOCKWORKS recovery menu. And you can't CREATE that file unless you are rooted. And you need to get to that mode.

So, if you have already created the file in 2.1, great. save it. That's what I was saying.

I know that this is just a beta build because it has not be release yet from Samsung, but is this the only/current build available. I want to flash but just want to make sure I am putting on the most current available.

of course its beta/unreleased/unfinished/unofficial

this is the most current firmware we have available though, even if it has its quirks

Been running this ROM for a while now.

The other issue is that I'm getting a strange "remote sim" notification when I turn Bluetooth off. Anyone else getting that?

I am having this and all the other issues too. I am thinking of going back to 2.1 for a little while for sure now. It seems the longer I am running 2.2 the more issues I am running into.

Other than minor issues, there are a few of us (two others that I found on this thread) where the update resulted in a completely dead phone (no lights, no battery icon, no recognition by the PC). If that's a problem for you, you may want to avoid this upgrade.
[Captivate Android Development] vsboxerboy1:
I'm having a bluetooth issue with running Froyo on my Captivate. Even when I turn my bluetooth off, I see the following:

If I click on the notification, I a message window comes up asking if I want to Deactivate Remote SIM mode? Pressing yes or no does exactly the same thing...nothing. From my understanding, Remote SIM mode is for when you have a bluetooth headset or similar device - and I don't have one of those.

Is this an issue other people are having with the Froyo update?
